#and why i don't like putting celebrities on such high pedestals

[shirtlessradfahrer]

So I've been politically active since before I was even eligible to vote. I've followed North American politics near religiously since 2014, and I've been a card-carrying member of my country's most prominent left-wing party since before the start of the pandemic. I barely slept at all during the week Ukraine was full-scale invaded, and I've been stressed about it every day for the last two years, given that my grandfather was born there and I've very much wanted to visit someday. And this was all before the horrific debacle of October 7th, and the subsequent atrocities committed against Gaza practically every day since. Lately I've weaned myself off a lot of international news and been more active in local politics because that's where I feel my efforts have been more effective, but...

...the reality is I am tired. I am so fucking tired.

I blacklisted just about everything remotely political when I made this blog because I wanted this space to be my escape from all of that. He is my escape from all of that. A badly needed one, because between the state of the world, the state of my country, the state of my workplace and the state of my personal life, my mental health has been....not very good for most of this decade and last.

I know this is unhealthily cynical, but as someone who had some pretty shitty friends in the past, and continues to have some incredibly shitty family members, including my own father (who, despite having Käärijä levels of charisma and putting on an excellent act in public, has repeatedly hurt me and let me and others down when we needed him most)....I expect famous people I admire to disappoint me. I very much expect famous men I admire to disappoint me. It may be in three days, or in three months, or in three years, or in thirty years, but it will happen at least once, if not multiple times.

Which is why I don’t-and never have-looked up to musicians or any other celebrity for guidance on my political or moral beliefs. It's a surefire way to set yourself up for not only disappointment but feelings of betrayal towards someone who was never "loyal" to you in the first place. And I wish so many people didn't learn that lesson far too late.

I don't like Jere Mikael Pöyhönen because of his insightful commentary on the state of geopolitics. To be extremely blunt, I like him because he's hot and he entertains me, both of which bring me happiness. Once I no longer feel that happiness, I'll move on to other interests, just as I always have. It would be very nice, however, if that day came in thirty years rather than in three. Which is why I felt relief when he expressed his wish to remain politically neutral, even regarding politics in his own country.

That being said....am I disappointed he went to you-know-what? Yes, for reasons both political and non-political. Am I disappointed that he willingly interacted on camera with you-know-who? Yes. In fact there are several things he has done and people he has associated with that I'm not particularly happy about. But in this case do I understand WHY he went and why he interacted with them? Also yes.

I don't believe he had any malicious intent, quite the opposite. His kindness is both his greatest strength and his greatest weakness-he is kind to the point that he foolishly undermines his own credibility. I don't know if there's an equivalent of Hanlon's Razor in Finnish but it goes "never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity".

And.....well. This is a guy who couldn't tell the Ukrainian esc23 representatives from the Greek ones. Who didn't know what the trans flag was until he was personally handed one last year. Who, AFAIK, has never received any sort of higher education (vocational school would still sort of be considered such where I live, but whatever) not that that automatically makes someone "smart" and others "stupid", but it can and often does help with understanding international issues. And based on my overall experience with hockey fans/players (of which he's both)...they typically aren't terminally online debating anything besides individual player and team statistics.

So I'm not shocked that he didn't think about how Just Being Nice on camera with that representative would look to others outside of his own bubble. How that would not have looked particularly "neutral". But he should have, considering this isn't the first time he's had to deal with angry internet mobs coming after him for a relatively minor mistake. Considering his favourite band got into very hot water last year and dealt with the controversy very poorly for too long.

Is it fair that I can block some tags, turn off the tv, and get on with my day, while he has to worry about his image the moment he leaves home? No. But...this is the inevitable downside of the life he wanted. Unlike me, he now has an audience of millions, a not-insignificant number of whom are going to be thinking about this stuff, meaning he needs to as well. And if not, he needs to pay someone to think about it for him. Goodness knows he can afford it now. I can do without all that pyro if it means none of us have another week like this one.

I've got some more chronic Akashi brainrot for y'all...

I had re-watched parts of Last Game not too long and I remember the scene after Team Vorpal Swords won when Riko's dad bought a bunch of snacks and drinks for everyone to celebrate. While eating, Midorima asked Akashi (referring to the haphazard way snacks were spread across the table), "Are you sure you're okay with something so sloppy, Akashi?" And Akashi looked at him and said, "What are you talking about? We used to sit around and celebrate like this in middle school all the time."

It really stuck in my head for a reason I kinda mentioned the other day, when I was talking about Akashi's dynamic with Hayama. I won't explain that entire post, but I was mainly discussing how Hayama is touchy with Akashi but Akashi never minds, and the last sentence of my post regarding that was, "Akashi seems to be very unfazed whenever he's manhandled by his Rakuzan teammates which shows that he was never really that uptight about people touching him to begin with and people just assumed he was". This brings me to the main topic of this post: Akashi Seijuro and the assumptions the KNB cast has about his personality.

As I love to point out on this godforsaken app, Akashi has been done dirty by every adult in his life with the exception of his mother. So much of what went wrong in his 3rd year at Teiko was due to high expectations and the idea that Akashi was not allowed to be anything less than perfect at whatever he did, but at the root of all of this are assumptions.

False assumptions that he was able to handle such a heavy workload. False assumptions that he was ready to be captain in his second year. False assumptions that he was coping with stress well. False assumptions that he wasn't already cracking before he even enrolled in Teiko. He was let down so many times by so many people because people assumed he was okay when he wasn't and hadn't been for YEARS.

And I think it's a big reason as to how and why the rest of the Teiko gang unintentionally isolated Akashi back in middle school. They put Akashi on a pedestal and assumed that there was some sort of invisible barrier between him and the rest of the team. In the same way when, during Last Game, Midorima assumed Akashi would stick his nose up at... eating chips and drinking juice with the homies... everyone has this idea that Akashi is more haughty than he actually is? Akashi isn't haughty at all. In fact, the Replace Plus Chapters highlight the fact that he's the complete opposite. This boy saved a baby in one chapter, and as the mother of the baby profusely thanks him, he says "Anyone could have done that." As if he didn't showcase superhuman reaction time and reflexes by pulling a baby out of a runaway stroller coming down a hill at high speed right before the stroller was obliterated by an oncoming truck. 💀

These assumptions make even less sense when Akashi has already shown people how much he doesn't want to be put on a pedestal. Again, back to the scene in Last Game, Midorima assumed Akashi wouldn't be down for the "sloppy" afterparty, but Akashi had to remind Midorima that they'd already done things like that in middle school. Momoi has cute nicknames for every member of the Teiko gang except Akashi, who she refers to simply as "Akashi-kun". Maybe that was her assuming Akashi would never accept being called by a cute nickname. Never mind the fact that he already was being addressed as "Akashicchi" and "Aka-chin" by Kise and Murasakibara, respectively, and then later was being addressed as "Sei-chan" by Mibuchi. And you can't even argue that she didn't want to make Akashi uncomfortable, because Midorima has outwardly expressed before that he didn't wanna be called "Midorin" but Momoi just kept calling him that.

And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're shitty friends for doing this. I just think that there was a lack of communication within the Teiko gang, and in an attempt to respect what they assumed were Akashi's boundaries, they unintentionally excluded Akashi from activities that he would absolutely participate in if he had just been given the chance.

This post is long asf so I'll just conclude here, but one of my delusional headcanons for the Teiko gang post-Extra Game is that Akashi becomes more open with them about how he feels and also about wanting to be included in more of their activities, and so he finally gets to experience having a regular hangout with friends like a regular teenager. I just think he deserves that so bad after feeling alone for so many years.

If they're talking about you, let them.

If someone is constantly gossiping about you let this be a reminder that it's not a bad thing and you shouldn't feel bad about it.

There is a very thin line between this and bullying. Please differentiate these two to the best of your ability. I will speak more about this at the end of the post, please read that part!

Imagine talking and thinking about someone else more than you think about yourself. That's just funny. Now, that, of course does not mean that you" can't talk about other people". Please do! Someone achieved something great? Go congratulate them! Praise them in front of others and let this be your motivation. But putting people down? No babe, that's just sad..

Why would anyone CONSTANTLY talk about other people or even just one person? That's because they're insecure.

This is a very simple answer and something that literally everyone says, but it's true. Think about it. Why would they put people that are more successful (in any way) down? Because they can't stand the fact that they're average. They want to be like you, have what you possess but they just don't want to admit it and instead fake their confidence. This type of people is most commonly seen in the "funny" guys that only laugh at others as a joke. This is not a joke and it is not funny.

Also, can we talk about how this is literally fan behavior? Telling everyone about you, constantly checking what you're doing either on social media or in person; this is what fans do to celebrities! They think so highly of you. You're literally so high on that pedestal.

You need to realize that people who try to disrespect you are always jealous of you. Even if you don't think they have anything to be jealous of, trust me, this goes deeper than looks or achievements. These people want to be you. So own it, because they're willingly showing you how insecure they are.

Lastly, keep in mind that this is not a post about bullying. It's about jealous haters who try to make you question your self worth because they don't respect themselves! If you ever experience or see a case of bullying PLEASE report it to some sort of authority (boss, headmaster, police etc.) This post is not about tolerating bullies because they're "so poor and insecure". Bullying is violence, whether physical or verbal. I am talking about jealous haters who can't stand others being happy or successful because they hate themselves. This is not something you can fix. Of course, it's not a good thing, however as long as they're not trying to turn people against you, try to sabotage you or get violent in ANY way, there is no way to prevent or stop it. I do not stand for bullying and I actively do my best to prevent it in my environment as I'm quite influential in my community.

Stay safe,

Sascha

[goongiveusnothing]

i don't believe he's happy with the life he's created for himself.

His life seems so miserable even though he could do anything with it at this point. he can make friends with the fun young celebrities, he has the money to travel constantly, he can go to fun events all over the world…..But instead he lives like an aged out celebrity with his glory years already behind him🫣. It’s honestly so depressing, If I was in his position I’d be doing so much more with my life. I know he’s a total loser that would rather hang out with old white people who put him on a pedestal but he’s also such a hedonist so I really don’t why he doesn’t have more fun😭😭😭going to The Box high on coke with his hag gf is like the wildest he’ll ever go and even when he did that it looked lame AF

it's the whole thing where if you ask a normal person what they'd do if they won the lottery they'd probably be able to list an endless amount of things... rescuing animals, volunteering, loads of charity work, activism, learning new crafts, doing loads of art, learning instruments, learning languages, to dance, taking classes in anything and everything, travelling the world, buying libraries worth of books, buying things and places just to give them away to people who need them...

and then you see celebs like him and the kardashians and they don't do any of that. their imagination doesn't even let them think they should even learn anything new. try anything new. explore the world around them. develop basic curiosity.

he's so joyless not just in photos, but in everything he does. he has always been like this but i don't think it's ever been this obvious. he looks passionless.

Sex worker!Max Lord x f!reader

Warnings: smut. Sex work. Hand jobs. Face sitting.🔞 not proof read. I just blurted it on to a page so I can go to sleep. Max need some love.

Summary: Post Dream Stone incident Max needs some quick cash. He decides to give a new career a go when he lays eyes on you.

Series Masterlist

Making Ends Meet

The heavy rings on his hands worn to give some illusion that he had the same social status he used to, clinked against the bar as Max drummed his fingers. The motion worked out some of his nerves.

He should just go and sell one of the rings. He wouldn't get much but it would be enough to stave off what he was here to do. Agreeing to it seemed like a good idea at the time. He was desperate and needed the cash. He needed a steady home to earn his visitation rights. Once again he thanked his lucky stars that the Dream Stone eventually made everyone forget what happened. Even to him it was like waking up after a dream. The details got hazier and hazier. The downside was it also made people forget him. The minor celebrity he'd built for himself was gone. Here he was reduced to selling himself. No, not himself, his company he reminded himself. Sex wasn't guaranteed. Not if he didn't want it. They'd been very clear about that. On the other hand he would be rewarded handsomely if he did go through with it. It wouldn't be the first time he met a woman at a bar and ended up in bed with her. Thinking back it had actually been a long time since he'd had those needs attended to.

"Max?" A voice called from his left side. Turning away from the bar he was dumbstruck by the sight before him. You were beautiful. He wasn't sure what he was actually expecting but you had not been it.

"Yes." He suddenly remembered his manners and stood. "Would you like a drink? Shall we get a table?"

"No. Thank you. We should actually get going. The party starts soon."

"Oh, right!" He nearly tripped over his stood making his way to you. "Er…" he decide holding out his arm for you to take would be the right move.

Smiling, you accepted his arm and walked with him to your car.

Max was much more relaxed once the initial shock of how beautiful you were wore off. Once he arrived at the party it was easy to slip into his old ways. The charm flowed from him. He talked you up to all the right people. He felt more at ease than he had for a long time. It put a spring back in his step doing something he was good at again. His confidence was overflowing when he asked you to dance at the end of the night. After a few fancy moves he had you in his arms for the slow dance.

It felt completely natural when you kissed, the closeness of your bodies allowing you to melt into one another. Max was on a high until he walked you to your car.

"So do you want to come home with me?" Your words knock out the pedestal he'd built himself from below his feet.

"Yes." He croaked out before clearing his throat. "Yes."

Max's heart was in his mouth. He was so conflicted. The feel of your mouth on his, your fingertips digging into his scalp just right, it was all working for him. His baby blue slacks were tented in the front. If you just wanted him, he would be fine with this but you were paying him.

"Stop." He pulled away panting. "I'm sorry. If I was just here to please you I'd be happy to. I'm…I've…never done this, for money before."

"Then why are you?" Your eyes held no judgement, just curiosity.

"I need it." His rich voice was sad and pitiful.

"Max. I want you. Let me pay you what you are worth and show you want you are worth." Your words confused him until you slipped down to your knees. "I saw you earlier. All that charm and confidence." You began to undo his belt. "Yet you don't feel like you're worthy of their attention." His head hit the wall behind him when you palmed his bulge through his pants. "I think you are. I'll take good care of you."

Opening his zipper you pulled his expensive trousers down enough to release his length from his silk boxers. It was perfect. Not overly long and girthy. With a slight curve. The drool you poured over it to aid your hand's movements came easily just by looking at it. Max felt like sin with you between his legs. Your soft hand working his cock with some much expertise he was convinced he should be paying you.

All too quickly for his liking he felt the familiar tingle of his orgasm approaching. "Stop. If you keep going…"

"What? This big dick will explode for me? Good."

"But I won't be ready to give you what you're paying for."

"You have a tongue don't you? I do." You grinned before licking a stripe from his balls to his slit. The first rope of cum hit your still outstretched tongue. "That's it Max. Give it to me."

Seeing your face covered with his cum almost made his knees give out completely. They'd already buckled when he came.

"Such a pretty boy when you come." You praised him before cleaning him with your tongue.

Taking him in your mouth you sucked on his softening cock until he whimpered. "Please."

"Please what?" You release him with a pop.

"Too much." He panted.

"I guess you'll have to come back another night. For now you can lay on the bed while I clean up."

Max paced a little while you were in the bathroom. Should he undress? Would you want him naked? Would you want to watch him strip his clothes off or help him even? He settled on stipping down to his boxers before laying on your bed. His head in the soft pillows.

"Perfect." You sighed returning from the bathroom.

Max's mouth went dry. You were completely naked. It made his recovering cock twitch.

"I want to ride your beautiful face. Is that alright with you?" You voice was so self assured he wasn't sure if it was really a quest but he agreed anyway.

This must be the biggest scam he's ever pulled off. Max mused to himself as your divine juices dripped on his tongue. He was getting paid for this. To have you rut your sweet pussy over his face over and over as you moaned unashamedly. This was his own slice of heaven. A soft bed at his back. A beautiful woman chasing an exquisite high on his face. Her enjoyment like nectar on his lips. Her moans like music to his ears.

He was so lost in his thoughts in enjoying all that you had to offer that it came as a shock when a sweet fluid coated his skin. "Oh, Max!" You carried on riding out your high on his tongue as he drank down as much as he could. "Oh, god."

Eventually you lifted up off of him. He wasn't sure if he should hold you. He hadn't asked beforehand. He really should have gotten some details. He made a mental note to do it on his next job. Looking down he saw that he was half hard already. Still not ready to please you thought. Lost in his shame He didn't expect the next words out of your mouth. "Same time tomorrow?"

it really isn't that hard to be loved, you just need to be nice and generous, to look at people in the eyes and be respectful and kind. (even to the ones you hate)

As long as you do that, people is going to like you good enough.

just because Jensen is capable of doing that, doesn't mean he's lying or manipulating anyone, he's just nice, is not that hard! he's also not the first or last celebrity who rather not talk about politics or his personal life, or other delicate matters, just because he doesn't state his preferences directly or post his life on sm doesn't mean he's hiding anything, in fact i think is very easy to see what he stands for if you just look closely.

it really isn't that complicated!

Regardless of our individual opinions there's one thing we all understand and want, and that is: to be treated with kindness and respect. you want to be liked? don't be an asshole, is that easy.

all the love you give into the universe will always come back to you in one form or another.

Ah, anon, I think you completely missed the point of my post. 😔

Just because I dislike certain aspects of Jensen doesn't mean I am an "@ss hole". How do you even know what I am like in real life or what my actual emotions are? Just because you interpret my written posts a certain way doesn't mean you nailed the intention behind them.

My post had nothing to do with Jensen and everything to do with me getting objectified or put on a pedestal for my looks rather than being genuinely loved for who I am. Believe it or not, that is an incredibly painful thing that makes you lose hope.

Love to me is not "being liked". That is approval and, if you are chasing that, then you aren't living your authentic self.

Jensen actually posts about his personal life a lot and he also talks about it constantly so not sure why you are stating otherwise or why Jensen is even being mentioned at all? I guess he too gets objectified and people "love" him in all sorts of twisted ways. Over praising him isn't love, no human can grow without support AND challenge. Like it or not, some fan based 'adoration' is often dehumanizing and toxic. Do not confuse high praise for all love just as criticism is not all hate. When you have a lot of qualities and are also attractive a lot of people will shower you with praise aiming to use you and then they will turn around and trashtalk your behind your back or, even worse, love you in an obsessive, dehumanizing way. None of that is anything close to love. It's very hard to connect with people when they are too busy worshipping an image of you.

"all the love you give into the universe will always come back to you in one form or another" I love this, clichè as it may sound, because it is true, your vibrational output puts you on a certain frequency and that frequency resonates with that which is of a similar vibration. 🧡

A Custom Gadget For You!

Tommyinnit x male reader (Slightly geared towards romantic but can be seen as platonic)

Fluff

Prompt: M/N makes gadgets and after Tommy loses his discs he makes him something to remember them by

CW/TW: Cursing

M/N is used (meaning male name)

A/N: Just found out that it's L'manberg with an E not a U how did I not find this out until now??? 😭

"Wilbur..." Tommy spoke softly into comms. All of the citizens stood in the ruins of L'manberg, Tommy had said that he wanted to talk to Dream after their duel, so now everyone was waiting for Tommy's arrival back into the walls so they could get their stuff and leave.

"Yes, Tommy?"

"I've secured our independence." The tone of Tommy's voice sounded like he was completely drained, like he had lost it all.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, staring at each other with shocked eyes. "Wha- How?" The confusion in Wilbur's voice was evident.

"I gave Dream the discs."

"Wait both of them?!" Tubbo spoke quickly.

"But I thought the deal was to only give him Mellohi?" M/N inquired.

"Yes, I gave Dream both Cat and Mellohi, in exchange for L'manberg's independence."

"Tommy my boy, get back here right now! We have to celebrate!" Wilbur shouted as everyone began to cheer.

[Time Skip to 2 days later]

After L'manberg was declared independent from the Dream SMP everyone started to clean up the debris and fill in the craters.

Or most of them.

"M/N where are you? Tommy and I don't want to be the only one fixing L'manberg." Tubbo complained, the sound of splashing water made it clear that they were probably getting the river water out of the craters.

M/N rolled his eyes and continued to work, ignoring Tubbo's complaints. "Why don't you ask Fundy to help? I'm sure he'll help y'all."

"What? You think I want to work with fur boy? Working with Tubbo's already annoying enough."

"Hey!"

"Okay, I'm leaving this VC before you two start fighting and blow out my ear drums, Ciao."

The signature sound rang through the boys' ears as they heard their comrade leave.

"I'm ringing him again." Tubbo pulled out his communicator, ringing the boy once more.

Tommy rolled his eyes and continued to shovel water out of the crater.

After a few minutes M/N picked up. "Tubbo, I'm busy!"

"With what? I'm gonna need a reason to tell Wilbur when he gets back and doesn't see you helping."

M/N stayed silent before speaking. "Is Tommy here or like really close by where he can hear you?"

Tubbo looked around and saw Tommy putting away some extra materials in a chest. "No he isn't close but why would that matter?"

"I'm making him a gift."

"A gift finally confessing your love?" Tubbo half joked.

"Ha, ha very funny Tubbo, but no, ever since he lost Mellohi and Cat he's been well, more moody? I know that he plans on getting them back but until then I wanted to help out, The both of us know how important those discs were to him."

Tubbo went silent for a moment. "Alright well hurry up, I don't want to cover for your ass."

M/N laughed. "Alright, I'm almost done so I'll be heading over in a second."

"Okay, see ya when you get here." The two said their goodbyes before leaving the VC and M/N alone with his thoughts.

After a couple of minutes messing with the mechanisms, M/N was finally done, he smiles slightly, proud of his work and lifted up the top of the box, inside on a small pedestal was two figure, both were of Tommy, though one was him in his normal attire and the other was him in his L'manberg outfit. The Tommy in normal attire held the two discs high in the air with a bright smile on his face while the L'manberg Tommy had one arm outstretched with both discs in hand, simulating Tommy giving the discs to Dream. Placing the box down, M/N twisted one of the cogs on the back and when he let go, he admired his work, the two figures were spinning slowly in a circle while cat played through the music box, after a few minutes the sound stopped and M/N twisted the other cog, this time, Mellohi played, the two figures spinning once more.

M/N smiled brightly and closed the box, halting all music that was playing and tied a red ribbon around it. He walked out of his house with the music box in hand, towards the walls.

Tommy was almost finished fixing the craters that were left over from the war, Tubbo had ditched him not to long ago for something he didn't remember so he was left to fix up the rest of the ground, which also meant, taking his time to walk back to his house to get some more dirt seeing as he had ran out. So now he was on his way back, he slipped past the trees and out onto the clearing where the broken caravan sat. He was looking down, not really paying attention to where he was going until he heard his name.

M/N walked towards the boy with a box of some sorta in his hands.

"Hey M/N where were you?"

"I was busy, why did you miss me?" The boy replied in a mocking tone.

"If by missing you, you mean that I missed the fact that I could've been done filling in these craters. Then yes I missed you." Tommy had a smirk on his face, using the same tone to M/N.

Tommy's eyes glanced at the box in M/N's hands.

"What's that?" Tommy questioned.

"Oh! This is for you, it's a gift." M/N handed Tommy the box, who had a puzzled look on his face.

"Why? I mean I'm not complaining free stuff is free stuff but why?"

"Well I noticed how down you looked after you lost your discs, so I made you a music box to remember them." as M/N explained, Tommy untied the ribbon and opened the box.

"Is- Is this me?"

M/N nodded and stood beside Tommy, turning the music box around, showing him the two cogs, one was green and the other was purple.

"When you turn the green cog, it'll play cat while the purple one plays mellohi." he explained

"And I know you're getting your discs back but until then, you have a way to listen to them." M/N smiled

Tommy pulled M/N into a hug, "Thank you."

M/N wrapped his arms around Tommy mumbling a small "You're welcome" back to him.

My apologies for this one taking so long, I honestly shouldn't have considering I knew exactly how I wanted everything to go it was just a matter of writing it. But it's here now!

What is your favorite Pyrrha w|w ship?

I'd have to say my favorite wlw ship for Pyrrha is the ship between her and Weiss AKA Schneekos. I just think that they could be so cute together and their dynamic would've been both sweet and messy at the same time in the best way. Weiss and Pyrrha are opposites in a lot of ways that work great together, but could also bond over the high expectations placed on them, and also with my own headcanons about Pyrrha's parents being kind of 'pageant mom-ish,' I think Pyrrha could relate to Weiss's struggles even if Weiss's family is very different. The potential for growth both of them had I think also gives a great opportunity for V1-3 "kids with messy crushes" them to grow into a more mature actually deep relationship later in their lives. And I have this whole plan for my own rewrite I might never make involving Pyrrha surviving the Fall of Beacon and having been taken to Atlas and developing this connection to Atlas and Ironwood and so when Weiss comes back there's this whole deeper understanding Pyrrha would have for her and it's a big thing.

But anyway, that's my favorite wlw Pyrrha ship, but I also can really get behind Pyrrha and Blake (even more so in a polyamory with Sun but since we're specifically talking wlw alone, that doesn't need gone into.) Despite the fact that I don't think Pyrrha and Blake talk at all over the course of the show, I think their personalities could very well compliment each other. I hadn't even really thought about the ship between them before one of my mutuals started talking about it, but also one reason why I think Blake and Pyrrha would be good together is that Blake is one of the few characters who I think wouldn't treat Pyrrha any differently and put her on a pedestal. Whereas Jaune treats Pyrrha like a celebrity as soon as he hears about the cereal box thing and then proceeds to go on about how she's Pyrrha Nikos so obviously she could date any guy she wants and all that, Blake probably wouldn't ever make a deal about any of that and would base her opinion on Pyrrha based only on Pyrrha's personality. Also I think they'd have a lot of fun sparring and sparring is basically a recipe for flirting.

[destinyc1020]

RE the timmy thing: Not gonna say I believe it or not but one thing I've learned from celebrities, is never to put anyone on a high pedestal. And also just wanted to add: first saw this in I think popculturechat and most of the comments were "always knew there was something icky about him" yadayada. I'm so tired of that kind of comment. Like. Annoying as hell. Every single article regarding a celebrity and there's a bad headline (clickbait of course), people don't read the contents and type shit like "always knew cause he looks like poopoo." It doesn't add anything to the conversation. And it usually is the most upvoted thing on the thread.

To your first point: I totally agree. 💯 That's why I never put any celebrity or anyone in the public eye on a pedestal. Not even my faves. I know that we are all human, and are imperfect. Nobody is infallible!

While this is disappointing to me regarding Timmy, I'll have to see how he handles this, and what else comes out about him in the future. Cuz imo, he's already skating on very thin ice after SNL. 👀

To your second point: I agree. I don't like the "he gives me the ick" comments/phrase either. Many times, people use that to justify not liking someone they don't even know personally just because for no good reason. 🙄

To me, that phrase is overused, and even not used in the correct context most of the time.

not sure if you're aware but jon bernthal stands in solidarity with shia labeouf, the interview they had together "hot ones" was disgusting.

alright, nonny, here i come. more info under the cut and tw: for ab*se.

first and foremost, i wanna say that i had no idea about the content of the REAL ONES podcast until this message. i watched both jon's real ones podcast with shia as a guest and his hot ones episode, though there was no mention of shia in the latter. and, yes, i listened to every last second of the 2 hour podcast. i took notes.

i think "stands in solidarity" is a bit of a strong statement. i think, after watching, that maybe jon and shia are just really good friends, and that jon is empathetic to the flawed human being that shia is. this is in no way an apologetic post for shia, i don't care one way or another about him, but... sincerely, did you watch the podcast?

jon opened a door for shia to talk about his experience, and i don't see anything wrong with that. shia spent the whole two hours apologizing for his deplorable actions and speaking on how he needs to make up for it, how he's going to be 'making amends' for the rest of his life, not only to those he victimized but to the other people his actions affected. i think that takes a lot of balls... to use your voice and actually hold yourself fucking accountable. so, kudos to shia, because i don't see any of these other sleazeball men accused in hollywood coming forward and expressing their regret, expressing how flawed and immature they were when they made their choices, and actively trying to be better people after the fact.

we have to think about celebrity culture and discourse. why do we put these people on such high pedestals? they are people with flaws, people who make mistakes, people who fuck up, people who feel. why do we cancel one celebrity for maintaining a friendship with another after questionable behavior as if that celeb engaged in the behavior themselves? i don't believe in damning someone for being guilty by association, and i have a lot of feelings on the whole issue of cutting someone out of your life based on their past actions. idk anything about shia's previous relationship or the shit he's accused of or where he was mentally, and, frankly i don't care, because -- like he said more than once -- there's no excuse, nothing else matters other than the fact that he did those bad things. but, as a survivor of abuse, i have not cut out the people in my life who remain close and supportive of my abuser. that's just not the way the world works, i'm so sorry.

the entire interview/conversation is one that reveals the many flaws of the egos of men in hollywood, how it's easy to fall into that headspace. never ONCE do either of them make excuses for themselves, never once does jon pardon him or tell him he feels sorry for him or that things should be different. he simply offered a FRIEND a platform to say what he needed to say. i wasn't disgusted by the podcast at all. did shia rub me the wrong way a few times? yes, absolutely, but he's not my friend, and i don't believe any of the content in the episode was problematic or hurtful to anyone. that said, i fully support jon and his work, and i'm not going to stop liking him or suddenly cancel him because he happens to have a friend who's done some shit i don't agree with.

Songs for the Night and Morning Part 1

(@acacia-may I thought you might like an @ since you talk a lot about associating songs and characters. Hope you don't mind.)

Links to PART 2 and PART 3.

Here I am, back with songs by Kenshi Yonezu and their relation to Black Clover characters!

In celebration of Nacht and Morgen’s birthdays, I’ll be sharing which songs I associate with them and my explanation for why. As I did with the Faustsele and Black Bulls related songs, I’m going off the translations from this website so it’s not my own translations but my interpretations.

Now to begin with songs for Nacht!

..........

Poppin Apathy (music video): Poppin Apathy is a very pessimistic song with a “looking back” perspective on one’s life. Feels rather in character for Nacht who is stuck in the past until the events in Spade Kingdom. There’s a sense of regret, confusion, and loss in this song’s lyrics in contrast to the poppy, upbeat instrumental track. It’s reminiscent of Nacht hiding his self-loathing and projection beneath his old “holier than thou” attitude and that fake smile that could never match up to Morgen’s.

So many mistakes now, it doesn't feel worth it My head has been filled to the brim with paint…

If I can't even have clear intentions, Then I can't depend on my feelings or otherwise

Nacht sees himself as a person filled with sin, having made so many mistakes in the past that can’t be forgiven. The paint, which is a bit of imagery which comes up more in the song, I see as being symbolic of pessimism and regret. With that in mind, the lyrics say that the speaker is filled to the brim with negative thoughts. Nacht’s path in life had no real intention or goal for resolution; he wanted to atone eternally without resolving it with forgiveness from anyone.

Tell me now, about what I left unsaid; Where did those words I swallowed go? I guess someday, they'll flow with my blood, And melt away into my body…

What Nacht left unsaid was how much he cared for Morgen. He never told his brother that he loved him, that he cared. Nacht still loves Morgen very much. Although one might say that Nacht put Morgen on a pedestal. Regardless, Nacht holds Morgen in very high regard and those feelings are deeply ingrained in him. And Nacht imaging his body “melt(ing) away”… Makes me think about how Nacht was willing to let himself die during the battle in Spade (twice no less!).

I've always covered my eyes, Always done idiotic things, bringing me now to desperation

Nacht blinded himself to the good things in his life. His foolish choices to get involved with devils and worse to try summoning Lucifugus led to his misanthropic worldview and his desperation to stone for his sins. It was a hopeless desperation that he inflicted on himself. You know, before Asta and Yami knocked some sense into him.

I'm in a muddle of sputtering dregs, Smeared in vivid colors that give me a headache…

But all that doesn't really matter Now, ignorant to all that I desired, I just keep spilling out paint…

The paint imagery comes back here. Nacht’s mind is spilling out more negativity. He is drowning in his self hatred and negativity which he projects out to those around him. Nothing mattered to Nacht after losing Morgen. Not his friendship with Yami, not the squad he became a part of, not even his own life.

Tell me now, about what I left unchosen; Where did those paths I passed by lead?

Unchosen paths… It brings to mind Morgen’s dying words, of his wish to be a Magic Knight alongside Nacht. Morgen repeatedly suggested that Nacht become a knight and Nacht turned him down each time, being annoyed by it. Nacht realized too late what he could’ve had with his brother, of the bond that they could’ve had.

In the midst of such sadness, Whatever I do, as much as I cry, it does nothing - now what can I do?

My eyes open; yes, at the very least, I can understand the colors I've painted myself…

Nacht’s misery, his regret and sadness, no matter how much he punished himself, it wasn’t going to bring Morgen back. All Nacht believed he was capable was fighting for good from the shadows but not trying to be truly good or kind the way Morgen was. Because if Nacht tried to be like Morgen, it would’ve been an insult to his brother’s image/legacy. Thankfully, Nacht’s eyes were opened to the truth that he isn’t irredeemable and did have people who cared for him (his old friend Yami and Asta who didn’t really know him but still believed he deserved to live). He learned that weighing himself down the way he did was wrong. And now, he’s decided to live on as the flawed man he is.

This song’s vibes really are incredible. The song sounds upbeat at first but the lyrics are so painful. The strange vocals heard throughout the song feel like they’re there to emphasize the chaos in the mind of the singer. Pessimistic and chaotic, words I find suitable for Nacht.

Flying Swallow (guitar cover): Flying Swallow is a song that is far more empowered and hopeful in nature which doesn’t quite fit Nacht’s attitude but I find that the lyrics do connect to him in a way. It’s a song about chasing and seeking, which Nacht does in a way (a self-destructive way but that’s besides the point).

If only I just had wings, I lamented with gray before me Aspiring to those clouds, that fly along like birds

Alone at the end of the sky, where I can't catch comfort, Wound is made upon wound, and still someone is crying...

These lyrics here really strongly feels like Nacht. He sadly lamented his empty and seemingly hopeless life, symbolized by the ���gray” in the first line. Nacht not only had no way to comfort himself (isolated himself from Yami and I doubt the Bremen devils could give a good pep talk) but actively refused to seek out happiness. He was hard on himself. The “wounds” spoken of are mostly emotional—all the losses in Nacht’s life—but it could be understood as physical if we’re talking about Nacht fighting in Spade (he just kept getting beat down).

In the deep of night, at the edge of morning, is where some songs echo best;

The songs that echo could be understood as something beautiful or meaningful. And for their presence to be between in the night with the morning close… There is something deeply profound in Nacht’s devotion to Morgen.

The wind was always blowing, ever since then, ever unchanging... If it's for you, I'll go anywhere at all, crossing the sky...

The wind is Nacht’s own will pushing him forward. It’s his desire to atone for his sin, his unshaking resolve to do something right even if he can’t be good. If it’s for Morgen, the memory of him, or for the sake of people who are good like Morgen, Nacht wanted to make things better. He was willing to do anything, even throw his life away.

Crawling on a path of carnage; what have I earned in exchange?

Within a raging voice, there hides a deep pain

Still wandering, in a storm, dreams still alight in my chest Like the flying birds swirling about, I'll imitate their form...

Nacht could ask himself what exactly he gained from the path of loneliness and pain that he put himself on since Morgen’s death. He hid his pain by hating everything around him that reminded him of the past, of his past self. His tumultuous thoughts about everything are the “storm.” And though not a conscious thought of his, he does need to become free like a bird and fly unfettered by his past guilt.

The wings were always flapping, headed for the future, on a journey... I trust the wind to find the right path, and just advance...

I was dreaming, carried up by the wind... Guide me, to the edge of the sky...

It’s throughout the song, but I feel like these lyrics really dig into the theme of chasing and searching which I mentioned earlier. Nacht was someone very stuck in the past—from his former attitude and mistakes and losses—but his only choice is to move forward. What is in the past was his motivation though.

I really like this song because while the lyrics are more about Nacht’s initial attitude, the hopeful tone of the instrumentation feels like it’s for his change in attitude after Spade’s battle. Nacht sought after a way to atone for bringing about Morgen’s death in a way where he would never find a resolution. But in the end, he realized that forgiveness, from others and himself, was possible. After so much misery, Nacht found hope again and this song captures that idea for me.

Have you ever thought about making a celebrity fan blog?

Lol no, because I don't hold no celebrity 'a nother human being' to a high standard or on a pedestal. I could never do a celebrity stan page, because....idk this is my opinion but I find it low-key weird.

You can say they are good at what they do, their job wise. I just find it weird when people say with confidence that celebrities are good people or are so nice and caring, when you don't know these people personally.

Like you only know a small percentage of how these people are. We only know the small percentage that they show us, we don't know how they are at home, how they treat people outside the media.

These people could put up this persona that they care about people, and post about God 24/8, but be horrible people behind close doors. They are probably not all like that, but nevertheless they are human.

So, yeah that's why. Sorry the long answer lmao

@ahogedetective asked:

6. do you have any ship bias with your muse?

22. is there any ship you will likely never play?

(and!!) 39. does your muse have a celebrity crush?

Shipping Questions for the mun - Accepting!

6. do you have any ship bias with your muse?

My ship biases tend to be writing partners who reply to threads and, if inclined, plot and/or chat with me OOC about our ships, fandom, life in general, etc. Overall, it's that simple for me! While my DR canon ship preference for Sonia is Sonia/Gundham, it doesn't mean it's my bias. Most of my favorite ships for her on this blog are with crossover and OC muses: to the point that I don't think I have active ship threads/interactions with DR canon muses right now.

I don't like bothering mutuals too much if they aren't terribly chatty about their muses and threads, but for me, replying to threads and plotting/sharing excitement about the ship really is how I maintain interest in writing them. I just try to be as invested in the ship as my writing partner is: it doesn't always work, but it's generally a good rule to follow.

22. is there any ship you will likely never play?

Beyond my list of NOTPs I listed in another reply, I wouldn't enjoy playing anything yandere long-term. Same thing goes for Remnant of Despair-verse threads or anything with abuse (sexual is already a firm no, physical and emotional are also very likely nos unless I really trust a mun and it's plotted). Unless I had something cheerful to counter it, I think: I think it would be a problem for my mood. And in Sonia's case, she can't do polyamorous relationships: it would never last for her, and she'd be deeply insecure the whole time. And while I would write cheating threads with her, those have the potential to break a relationship for good with her. A very high potential: it really needs to be plotted. Tread carefully.

39. does your muse have a celebrity crush?

This is really funny to consider! Mostly because Sonia just isn't the person to fall in love with celebrities: because she spends so much of her life being put on a pedestal for her looks, her wealth, her royal status, etc. she is deeply uncomfortable doing that to someone else. To the point that when it comes to actors in dramas, movies, and so forth, she's far more likely to be a fan of the character they're playing rather than the actor themselves. It's also why Sonia never really got into idols or idol culture: she finds the idea of idols, hosts, and other careers that pretty much rely on fan worship to be insincere at best, bordering on offensive at worst. She's likely taking it a bit personally at times, considering how often people praise her and value her for things that either fade or will eventually be unimportant. When it comes to musicians, actors, and others in similar professions, she might like their line of work: their songs or movies or what have you, but not really be obsessed with them as people.

tl;dr - If your muse is a musician/singer, actor, model, or some other sort of celebrity, it is very unlikely Sonia will have a crush on them for those reasons. She actually has to get to know them.

I think the closest 'celebrity' that would qualify on this blog would be @dxfiedfxte's Minato, honestly. Mostly as Sonia had been a fan of his show Paranormal Quest long before they met, and when they did she was far more of a fan of his show and in love with his job, as opposed to crushing on him as a person. It took her awhile to untangle those feelings later on, that she wasn't just in love with what he does but with Minato himself.

His interest in the paranormal did help attract her to him, though. Someone who not only doesn't find her hobbies dumb or dismissive of them but actually likes them? And not just to impress her? That's rare, where Sonia's concerned.

Sonia's real 'celebrity' crushes are, more often than not, fictional characters: attractive vampires, demons, other supernatural creatures, otome game heroes, Dracula, Sir Thomas Sharpe (from Crimson Peak), Gomez Addams (basically her dream spouse as a child), and Jack Skellington? She loves them.

Basically give her a combo of tall, dark, brooding, possibly flirty, adventurous, possibly dealing with past trauma, good with animals and/or people, encourages/has an interest in her hobbies and passions, deep down probably a good person even if they likely don't realize it yet, and someone whose affections she actually has to earn and doesn't just offer them blindly because she's royalty?

Yeah. She's all about those sorts of characters. She might be a princess but she's also a fan of 2D love interests. Let her go to fan conventions and she will invest in way too much merchandise. The thirst is real: especially when her own love life proves to be disappointing.

Jordan Details

Yeah so a brief history of his time with her... they met when they were both backpacking. They were both very active and adventurous. Loved exploring. I saw her as very free spirited and light hearted but loved her family. So had spurts of coming back home then going on a new adventure. She actually got hurt before the wedding and they always had the plan when married to move to Scotland back to his hometown but yeah obviously they stayed by her family and he took an office job at her dad's work cause the insurance and more money than opening his landscaping. But yeah so really don't have too much for her except just very lively and loving type

She has been dead for a couple years. And they were married for three dated one so he would have been in their lives about 6 years. As for age he was a few years older than her so her exact age doesn't matter if you have something that fits more with where you see Jordan

Okay 6 years so jordan would have been 28 when her sister first met him and he’d have been around 37 so maybe the sister was 35 when she first met Alec? Because my thoughts were that she and Jordan were backpacking together to celebrate her birthday when they ran into Alec and maybe Jordan had a crush from the get go, but her sister is more outgoing and flirty and so they connected first and jordan just never said anything but she’s always been a little heart eyes for him

Oooo yes I love that!! Maybe she even met him first? And they ran into each other and had a small moment before the two other sisters caught up but yeah because his wife was more forward and stuff nothing came of it. Then with the accident and the sister needing constant care it caused them to spend more time together again and just made clear that chemistry was there and it wasn't just in her head when they first met

Yeeees exactly!!! And like Jordan being her sisters maid of honor at her wedding to alec and her struggling on their wedding day because still lots of feelings and like seeing how he treated her sister made her like him even more and her boyfriends weren’t great so alec keeps being put higher up on that pedestal in her mind and when her sister got hurt she probably felt hella guilty because at some point in time she probably wished alec was hers and ofc not actually wanting anything to happen to her sister but when something does she feels like it’s somehow her fault

They were on a bike ride and she got hit by a car. She was basically paralyzed from neck down with very minor movement in her hands and arms, like can move them a little but don't really function. Had a feeding tube and limited speech so she would use a computer to talk

Kylie, Taylor, and Jordan are the three preswick sisters. Kylie and Jordan have always been closer to each other despite Taylor being closer in age

Kylie and Jordan were living together when Alec came into the picture so that’s why they lived together for like six months before Jordan moved to a new place

Jordan has had three “serious” relationships in the six years of knowing Alec. One was a firefighter, one was and EMT, and one was a musician. The musician was a dick and I like to think Alec hated him lol

Jordan has a faint scar on her temple from a 4wheeler accident when she was in high school

Jordan likes to cook and tries to be a wine girlie and have the right pairings with the meals she makes, but nothing beats a cold beer in her book

She was dating the EMT when Kylie passed away and living with him too but they ended up breaking up because jordan was pushing him away so maybe she and Alec lived together again during that time?

I’m assuming they see each other quite often like 3 to 4 times a week because jordan will cook for them both and maybe they have a tv show they only watch together back from when they lived together and Kylie wasn’t as into the show as them

In that same vein, jordan works at a children’s hospital and can’t go home during the day but she has dogs with special needs and when Alec’s schedule allows for it she asks him to like feed and take the dogs out because #domestic

She has two dogs, one that has wheels for front legs and one that’s blind, but she fosters dogs all the time when she can

She really wants to be a mom but feels like she’s running out of time and hasn’t met a guy that she thinks would be a good partner/father so she’s kinda come to terms with just being a dog mom

I was thinking that maybe they took a trip to Scotland to spread some of Kylie’s ashes if they were that kinda family and maybe jordan and Alec stayed longer than the rest of the family and did some backpacking just the two of them

The first time Jordan saw a highland cow in person, she cried

Taylor’s kid once thought Jordan and Alec were married because they used to always babysit the kid together and it knew aunt and uncles went together so ofc assumed aunt jo and uncle alec were a pair

This translated version of Estonia's page on the Collezione is worse than I thought.

So, woke up today and saw that Estonia's Collezione page has been finally translated to the best of the fans abilities. Safe to say I despise majority of the content we see.

Where do I even begin with this? First lets go to the profile.

Very quickly things go downhill when the desire to be Nordic is brought up.

Let me clarify, Estonia suggested to join the Nordics with many reasons like- once, during the 90's and got rejected. Most people here don't care of even know about this, we view ourselves as Baltics who have a closeness to the Nordics. Culturally a grey area. Besides, the Nordic-Baltic 8 is a legitimate thing that exists. The way Himaruya depicts Estonia by making him so obsessive with being Nordic is disgustingly inaccurate and a very very old joke. No one is laughing Himaruya, no one is laughing! This joke paints a terrible image of Estonia and how he treats those close to him. Estonia is a small country so its easier to damage how people view Estonia like this.

Besides the Nordic stuff there's also a few smaller thing that bother me.

Shopping at Finland's house? That sounds sweet but makes absolutely no sense. Finland is a much much more expensive country for Estonians, we don't go there to shop but to just have a trip to Finland and go to places like Linnanmäki (an amusement park, Estonia has none). With shopping it's usually the opposite with Finns coming to Estonia for alcohol, materials for craft, or even sweets because of Estonia being significantly cheaper for them.

Also,, favourite food piirakka? Himaruya, it's pirukas in Estonian, and it just means pie. What pie? If you mean Karelian pie then I'll have you know it has more of a presence in Finland than here. Also Estonians are very known to love rye bread, and it is very true, why can't you just put that he likes rye bread? Would it kill you to do even one google search?

This isn't that bad but I still feel bothered by the return of the whole "Don't we look alike? Could we be brothers?" thing that makes no sense. Sweden is a Germanic country while Estonia is Finnic/Finno-Ugric. I think that is enough to say why this is one of the most stupidest things Himaruya has suggested.

What also bothers me is the whole "The Great Sweden" thing, Estonia definitely does look up to the Nordics because of their reputation for a good quality of life and such, but why is he placing Sweden on a pedestal like this? Over the sea they're neighbours and have a very long history of having once fought but then having formed a strong mutual respectable friendship with eachother.

I am aware that Himaruya refuses to acknowledge these two as friends but it feels even worse for me that Himaruya now depicts Estonia treating Sweden as some very highly person that they couldn't be on similar grounds with at all - as like some whole other class he can't even talk to. It's nice that Estonia appreciates whenever Nordics compliment him but with the way its interpreted it feels unhealthy how he places them on such high pedestals. I don't know how to explain it, but picture it like if you were to make a bigger deal out of a celebrity saying "Cool." to you instead of cherishing when your real friend says a whole paragraph of nice and meaningful things to you. Maybe I'm overthinking this but it just really bothers me.

It is sweet to see Latvia say how he respects Estonia confidence in certain areas.. Until we are given a panel of Latvia clearly done with how Estonia won't stop talking about the Nordics that at this point he always expects this to be about them whenever Estonia is happy. That is so fucked up.

It's also messed up how Estonia will take any chance to slam it in someone's face trying to tell he's Nordic. Just. Stop. Estonia you do realize your own history exists too? What about Latvia? What about Latvia who you were basically glued together with for 700 years? Does he mean nothing to you?

Now, I left the worst ones for last!

Where do I begin with this?

Estonians highly value their tricolour, we had to fought more than once to be able to raise this flag and express our pride for who we are. A popular Estonian cross flag does exist, but its only popular among the very tiny minority of people hiding that actually want Estonia to be Nordic, but they're such a small minority and often looked down upon for how they want the flag to be changed.

It is actually terribly offensive to tell us that we should change our flag after all we've been through for it. That is our national symbol and people who tell us to change it don't understand the weight of it.

Also on a smaller note "Estonia is doing whatever he can to get along with the Nordics" is implying Estonia doesn't or struggles to. That is just dragging both Estonia and the Nordics in the dirt because Himaruya clearly doesn't know the relations between all the Nordics and Estonia. It's sad really, to imply that they aren't all even friends.

Where do I begin with THIS?

Dear mother nature itself do I hope this is a massive mistranlastion! This has to be THE WORST part of the whole page!

Himaruya Hidekaz , do you know an ounce of Baltic trio history? Does the Baltic Chain ring a bell? Have you heard of "Hurt one of us you hurt all of us"? What was he thinking when he thought of saying that Estonia would really watch Latvia and Lithuania basically destroy themselves while he ditches them for the Nordics? That is disgusting to so many many levels I can't even bring myself to speak further about it. The Baltics have a bond that goes beyond being lingually or culturally similar, you can be different and still be close. When one is in trouble we are always immediately ready to fight for eachother and it's been like that for over 30 years.

I'm sorry if this seems rushed or difficult to read but I am just so tired of this whole thing, and the anger I am feeling for the treatment of my small precious country is insane. This has definitely been the final straw for me but I am not going to leave Hetalia for this, no, I am staying to fight because unlike other communities, the Hetalia fandom is more willing to listen.

Please spread awareness of this, this really has to stop and I don't want the general fandom latching onto this view of Estonia.
