My thoughts on the audio are that I genuinely cannot come up with a sane explanation. I don't think Liam was necessarily in the studio but he has to be talking about him, right? Like IDK there was some visual effect or whatever, literally who else could be the cunt Noel doesn't want to see. Beyond which I am not a proper scholar so please let me know if I'm way off base but I have an extended divorce theory that goes:

2009: Breakup, they're both big mad for a minute

201?-2012: They are texting and like, sending their kids to the same school. possibly the most normal they've ever been.

2013-2015: Liam blows his entire life up and is extremely sad about the consequences of his own actions. I saw actual video footage of Noel saying that he's shocked beady eye broke up and he's actually sweet about it and tells Liam not to give up? who is this man. anyway while Liam will later claim Noel wasn't there for him during the divorce but as a general rule they're much nicer about each other when they're divorcing other people. this is where I become extremely conspiratorial because at some point they had to get the documentary off the ground and a second, more personal breakup is clearly going down around this time. I believe in their ability to deeply wound each other by playing cryptic telephone through the press but I think it genuinely makes more sense if they were actually talking, perhaps about a potential reunion.

2016-2020: supersonic documentary and also (coincidentally?) the apocalypse. Liam launches his solo career, Noel hates it and is pretty relentlessly mean about it and about Liam more generally. we are gearing up for the kind of tweeting/podcast commenting where you call your brother your ex-wife. I think this is also when Noel decides to drag Molly into it for some reason. Liam says publicly that he thinks Noel was waiting for him to hit rock bottom so he could be magnanimous about saving him. whether he thinks this because of something concrete noel did or said or because he's liam is a mystery. the Anais incident goes down, the vogue article comes out. we are never ever getting back together for real this time. noel says a bunch of normal and well adjusted stuff about how he wants Liam to die in a self driving car crash with Donald Trump and seeing his face makes him want to shoot up a MacDonalds.

2020-2022: the pandemic saves oasis. I'm serious. they're both stuck sitting at home with nothing to distract them from themselves and think of brighter days. apparently being trapped in a house with noel is genuinely so unbearable that Sara calls it quits (in the matter of Sara v. Noel I'm on her side). presumably this was cause for at least some self reflection. divorce is a lonely and difficult experience, sara and liam seem to legit hate each other in a way that would be a barrier to reconciliation (in the matter of Sara v. Liam I am also on her side but less so bcs she didn't get trapped in a house with him). at the same time Liam pulls off Knebworth 2022, demonstrating he can handle big events without headcasing (and without noel, and he will be doing those big events solo or otherwise). at this point I genuinely think it was just a matter of time before we were back, baybeee! let's hope they can keep it together.

bro your brain is so huge and deeply wrinkled, profoundly agree with all of this. why you on anon when your opinions are so correct and you could be sharing them with us directly tbh 👀.

but yeah, 100% covid saved oasis lmao. noel's divorce saved oasis. noel's miserable midlife crisis (ongoing) saved oasis 🥰🥰🥰. and it juuuuuust really seems like all those insane highs and lows that went on publicly in the media between them over the years probably, or at least quite possibly, had irl personal catalysts rather than just a general holdover of ill will from the 2000s. there are so many random little times one or both of them casually mentioned they were in contact, and any one of those instances can be disregarded, but when considered in retrospect from a collective standpoint..... AWFULLY DAMNING!!!

lots more to say about all of this actually, every point you've made is legit af and could be expounded upon for a hundred years, but it's midnight and im coming down with a flu (punishment for some kind of hubris im sure), so. thank you for all of this and goodnight 🙏

[oscconfessions]

Stupid and incomprehensible (/srs) ii rant incoming. This post was fact checked by REAL American patriots ✅✅✅

The people that are shitting on ii and saying it's ruined are so fucking funny to me. No, ii16/ii17 wasn't contradictory or out of character. You literally just created your own story in your head and then got mad when it didn't come to fruition. Like dawg that was all you. You created your own problems to be mad at. Just admit your interpretations were wrong. It's not that hard.

NO BUT YOU GUYS ARE SO FUCKING MISERABLE. IT'S A KID'S SHOW. GROW UP. YEAH IT'S NOT FUCKING SHAKESPEARE BUT YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THE FINALE IS THE WORST THING THAT'S EVER GRACED THE EARTH. You guys can't enjoy ANYTHING AND IT SHOWS. "Oh my godd my sugar plum is SO out of character!! The twist came from NOWHERE" are you on the writing team? Have you been planning this for a DECADE? No?? Shut up. Your writing opinions are about as valuable as five Nickel plushies. Just please shut the fuck up. It's not even that they're objectively wrong, it's that they're so fucking annoying. Like the confidently wrong "if you think differently you have no media literacy" type of annoying. I'm in like five other different fandoms and none of them make me feel drained after interacting with them like the ii fandom. Yes I'm separating them from the osc entirely cause they're a different breed. Hell, the ONE community reacted better to their ending than how ii fans are rn. Which is saying a lot because iykyk.

HOWEVER. I am NOT saying I want the ii community to become an echo chamber where everyone believes that Inanimate Insanity is a gift sent down from the Gods because it isn't. There's definitely things wrong with it. And even if it was a gift sent from the God's we are NOT gonna have a massive circle jerk because our favorite show is so cool.

Again, however, the criticism that ii receives isn't even criticism. It's just people bitching and moaning and it's so draining reading their massive walls of text because they're so fucking CONDESCENDING. Oh yeah you're definitely superior because your take on why the past two episodes are the worst lemme just bend over and suck your dick because that's what you want right?? To blow smoke up your ass and say that you're so amazing and smart and that everyone who disagrees with you lacks media literacy?? I FUCKING HATE THE PHRASE MEDIA LITERACY AND I'VE ONLY STARTED HATING IT BECAUSE YOU GUYS GOT YOUR GREASY FINGERS ONTO IT.

Anyways that's it. I've definitely talked about this before but idc people need to stop being miserable and start frolicking in the flowers. Yes, recognize that your favorite show has flaws, but get your head out of your ass and stop having a superiority complex. And stop making shit up in your head. Write an au fanfic or something instead idk just stop whining about how the show is somehow wrong. You people were literally complaining about ii17 the same day it came out. Why do you have so much hate in your heart.

Btw it's late for me. These are just all of my unfiltered thoughts so I'm like really annoying rn and I definitely would have worded this better but idc lol. Definitely going anon for this one.

Legit so disgusting how so many ppl are jumping at the chance to criticise Max. In the past few days, I've seen so many social media comments calling him names like 'brat', 'manchild', 'immature' etc. + belittling his racing skills.

So many ppl are also completely spinning their own narrative, acting as if Max is the only driver to ever be heated up during a high-adrenaline race. According to them, Schumi, Senna, Lewis etc. have never lost their cool and always take the blame for every single incident. (Note: this is NOT a hate post ok- any driver examples I use is just to show the hypocrisy of these ppl. I mentioned these drivers cuz it's based off genuine comments I saw.)

First of all, Max had every reason to be upset during the race. The major Hungary updates RBR had been hinting at for weeks underwhelmed (don't give me the 'it's still fast anyway'- this is F1. Every driver and team expects their car to be the fastest, not just fast. If you don't understand that, you don't get the point of F1- an engineering competition. Also RBR has been struggling with the same kerbs issue since 2022.), with Max struggling with various issues during the race.

Additionally, the strategy was not great; Max gave the 1st pitstop decision a pass, but then they repeated it for the 2nd pitstop. RBR was hoping that the tyre delta would salvage the race but c'mon, Christian Horner admitted after the race that they got the data wrong and miscalculated how fast they needed to gap the others cars per lap to overtake. From Max's pov, RBR repeated the mistake of the 1st pitstop, allowing him to be undercut again, by both Lewis and Charles, dropping him back to 5th when he started 3rd, on a track known to be hard to overtake. Furthermore, this race was more a race of undercutting than actual on-track overtakes; one prominent example that showed the power of the undercut in this race was Lando, who was stuck behind Oscar for the vast majority of the race. Yet once they undercut Oscar, Lando ended up 3s+ ahead of Oscar, with the gap increasing to ~5s+ as the laps went on, with Oscar unable to catch up. To make matters worse, Max had told the team that undercutting was impt BEFORE the race. Finally, I love GP (Max's race engineer) but honestly they were just antagonising each other during the race. The most obvious example was the sarcastic remark of 'some gentle introduction' after Max did a fast outlap so that he could catch Charles and Lewis, which just made Max even more frustrated. After which, there was literally radio silence for 15 mins, no communication of modes, gaps etc. Max himself mentioned after the race that it did not help that instead of being a calming presence, they (presumably RBR, including GP) did not listen to him and even argued with him. So this mixture of the team not listening to him, repeating the same mistake twice, underwhelming upgrades and poor communication on the radio contributed to Max frustrations in the car. (Oh but according to crofty (sky sports) it's cuz Max did not get his beauty sleep despite Max having followed his standard sleep schedule. Because sleep outranks good strategy and the best car in F1. 🤡 Kids these days and their simracing.)

Could Max have been more polite? Ideally, ig. But GP too was confrontational when he should have been trying to resolve the issues with Max. Was Max wrong in terms of calling out the strat? No. Also, it's so easy for ppl to judge, lazing on their couch. This is a high adrenaline sport for goodness sake, with millions of dollars on the line and millions of people watching their every move. Randos get pissed off at a slow moving vehicle on a normal road; imagine how it would be to be a racing driver going at ~200mph, with the expectations of the team, fans etc. weighing down on you.

Some are arguing that Red Bull generally does well so Max has no right to be upset. Lol. Idk how ppl don't get it into their heads that this is a SPORT. In every sport, any top performing athelete and team knows that every single match/race/point etc matters. You're not there to say "Oh we've won in the past so let's just throw away some games". You're always there to deliver your best. With this kinda logic, Lewis should also have no right to be upset/disappointed with Mercedes cuz didn't they deliver him a championship winning car for years? Idk lmao this particular line of logic is so weird.

I've also seen so many people saying things along the lines of "Max always complains", "Max can't win without the car"- a really weird one considering one only has to look at the recent races to debunk that, "Max blames everything on the team" etc. Be so fr literally every driver 'complains'. A notable case was Austria 2023, where Toto had to come on the race to tell Lewis to 'just drive the car' because he kept going on about it in multiple races last year. Most of the time they're just giving feedback. When they're genuinely 'complaining', it's often cuz they've been screwed over by their own team. See some cases just in this race alone: Alex on the indecisive tyre choice by Williams, Daniel on the screwed up strat by by VCARB. Max wasn't even wrong about the strat. The comment that 'Max blames everything on the team/ When everything goes well it's him, when it doesn't it's the team' is so laughable because if there is one driver on the grid that is consistent in thanking his team and rarely himself, it's Max. You literally just have to see the previous race, Silverstone 2024 where he could've easily said him making all the right calls to pit was essential to getting P2 in the end. Instead, he gave the credit to the team. He's also quick to apologise when he's in the wrong. See Spa quali 2023 after his outburst in Q2. Or when he bought ice cream for GP a few years back to apologise. Also idk where ppl get the idea Max treats his team like shit? Time and time again, people who worked with him have mentioned how they love working with him. For this particular weekend, he literally treated the team to dinner the night before the race but these ppl will never talk about that. What's said on the radio is in the heat of the moment, which ALL the drivers have done. And Max wasn't wrong either; maybe ideally he would have conveyed it nicer, but again, they're all pumped up on adrenaline.

As for the incident, it wasn't even that bad? It looked bad cuz the wheels touched, making Max's car fly up + cuz it was btwn Max and Lewis, certain 'fans' immediately jumped into their hate frenzy. Idk I find it so weird that people keep harping on about it when Lewis said immediately after the race that it was a racing incident. (Those clowns trying to liken Max to Alonso in Austria 2024 need to rewatch the collisions instead of looking at static pictures is all I can say lol cuz Alonso's was straight up a T-bone while Max-Lewis was a wheel bang.) And anyway, ALL drivers get into incidents no matter their accomplishments (Lewis in Monza 2023, Charles hitting Lando in fp this year, Carlos-Oscar in Miami 2024 etc.). The narrative that Max gets into incidents more than the other drivers is just untrue. In fact, this brings me to my next point. The moment Max is half of any incident, regardless of whether he is at fault, so many scumbags immediately completely trash him like a bunch of rabid dogs. For example, Max-George last year at Las Vegas 2023, where Max was not at fault at ALL; George even admitted he wasn't looking in his mirrors. Or Lap 1 Turn 1 of that same race, where ppl to this day are shitting on Max for 'pushing' Charles off-track- when there was literally an oil spill on his grid spot before the race, making that side slippery despite efforts to clean it up, with others like Alonso and Carlos spinning at the same point Max 'pushed' Charles. His onboard then even showed he tried to steer in but the car didn't budge. Besides, he got a penalty that slowed him down a lot (when Lap 1 Turn 1 incidents don't usually get a penalty- idk how ppl can think the FIA favours him lmfao- and no matter what the haters who prob didn't even watch the race said; serving the penalty in the pitstop dropped Max much further back than just swapping positions would have) AND he apologised to Charles right after the race (but noooo he never takes the blame).

The hate ppl have for Max (and tbh, some other drivers) is honestly quite alarming and weird. Like, these grownass ppl are hating on a 26 year old at the top of his game lol. It doesn't help that the media (especially the British media) feeds, if not started, this hatred frenzy. Just see Austria this year, where the media and 'fans' completely blew the incident between Max and Lando out of the water, only for multiple current and ex F1 drivers to call them out on their bs lmao. Again, for Austria 2024, Lando and Max spoke after the race too. But it doesn't fit their narrative so these ppl will never bother to mention this.

Slight tangent but for ppl who try to justify it by saying 'oh it's how it is cuz Max is dominating'- I understand where yall are coming from (see Seb 2013 lol), but the hatred for Max is particulary overwhelming because there are much more fans now, mainly due to DTS and consequently, F1 becoming popular/more popular on social media platforms like TikTok, Twitter etc. As such, Max is arguably facing higher levels of vitrol, since DTS didn't exactly favour him (understatement of the year lol) and many fans who 'watch' F1 through social media just jump on the hate bandwagon without actually watching races/fact-checking. This is worsened by how the media (mainly the Brit media) jumps at every opportunity to put Max down. Sky Sports in particular, being the main broadcast for most fans, often feeds this hate (esp if David Croft or Ted Kravitz is speaking). Finally, all this is only worsened by how social media allows this hate to circulate much more quickly and widely.

lol sry for the rant but gosh it gets tiring seeing the toxicity of so many F1 'fans'.

[badgalsasuke]

kinda wanna have a long rant here cause it feels cathartic so i hope you don't mind. ignore this if you feel annoyed. may be a bit controversial.

i think twitter sns are mainly vain and shallow. tiktok sns barely read the manga. tumblr sns have all the smart meta blogs but there are also a lot of the edgy wannabe communists who annoyed me too much sometimes especially since naruto (the character) is my og fave all the way since i was a kid so i take offense in the way he's constantly bashed around these circles. like yes i get it he grow up to be a bootlicker he's a neoliberal all of this is bad etc etc and all of the criticism of these are warranted but sometimes its just too much that idgaf sorry.

before the fake wokes get all fired up i'm literally from a SEA country that was colonized by japan and my country had a history of violent persecution where over 1 million of its revolutionary left party members were hunted down, imprisoned, and killed. i myself used to be active in researches concerning preserving history of these but anyways. the point is i know these things are serious but at the end of the day naruto is fiction? sure it'd be great if there was a proper politically correct resolution for all the bad things that happen in the show, centering justice and retribution etc etc but at the end of the day the story kishi wants to tell is not that. he's a liberal pacifist and assimilationist whose core value in his manga are all about peace forgiveness cooperation etc etc. naruto's character is deeply intertwined with this since he's the MC and supposed to be the voice of reason so i can see why some people might get fed up what with his constant preaching in his talk no jutsus and all. i personally liked him because of his personal ability to empathize and make bonds in spite of his loneliness but anyways thats also beside the point.

i just think that these fans who are super pissed that things didn't go the way they want should find other media that centers more on those justice themes they like so much, like idk, maybe death note or aot. i don't read any other manga.

most of these stans always being negative and complaining every damn day about everything, insulting everything about the media they claim to hate yet STILL having a fan account dedicated to it where they just hate on it all the time is so 💀💀. like, i consider myself a leftist as well and when i want to enjoy a good communist media I'd watch soviet films from the 60s and not obsessively latching on to a shounen manga written by a liberal and then gets pissed when the author doesn't share the same values as me.

i became obsessed with naruto because the writing of the batshit insane deranged toxic doomed homoerotic twin-flame-like relation was GOOD between sns and that's what i'm here for. but i think the polemic and polarization of this massive fandom is just too much for me. i don't know how you deal with it being in this fandom for so long. I've only peeked around for about a month and i'm already fed up. i used to not really interact with popular mainstream media exactly for this reason. no matter how i see it it's true that many of the Sasuke/Uchiha centric sns fans in here does lowkey hate naruto and are mutuals with naruto antis and it just gave me the final kick to not want to interact much with all of these crowd sorry. the ship still 10/10 and will always be top tier tho.

Hey anon!

I really have nothing to add other than I don’t like Twitter and TikTok SNS fandoms either LMAOO

[freakenomenon]

IDK if u have mentioned this much but i love your analysis posts and I wanted to say something that’s been on my mind. AM calling both Ted and Ellen by petnames in the game like love or sweetheart to be condescending, with Ellen it’s more obvious because she’s a woman and talking down to her when she’s clearly a strong individual who is reduced to just her gender and stereotypes a lot, or maybe offering mock affection to make her feel worse. Idk it can be interpreted however

But also the way he speaks to Ted and calls him sweetheart, I know that’s been TedAM fuel for a while but that doesn’t even make sense because AM talks to everyone like that, and I always saw it as AM mocking how Ted would speak to women, like he’s trying to emasculate him and mock how he used to flatter women like that idkk anyways. Ty for the influx of ihnmaims lately I love my two little freaks. So tired of them being reduced into closeted gay and token female because fandoms are bad at media literacy 🙏

one. THANK YOUUUUUUUU SOOO MUCH <333333 two. god you are going to regret mentioning this to me of all people i am going to be so annoying. i wish i could say AM calling ellen petnames had more depth than her being. a woman. but truly i cant say that with ANY certainty considering the other writing....choices...within the game. BUT. within my own fucking delusion. id like to think its also because ellen is constantly talking about love ( at least from teds perspective in the short story ) and the fact that its remarked several times in her psychodrama as well as in the others descriptions of her. that she isnt as experienced socially as she is with her work ethic and her studies in general. not only because of her own beliefs, but likely because of societies view on her as a black woman as well. remarking on moments in her childhood where she felt mistreated because of it. "I curl up my lip, the way I practiced in the mirror for days when I was in seventh grade, so I could tell the kids in school to go to hell when they teased me."

"What purpose could you have here other than to steal something?"

" The question stirs up a lot of bitter memories from when I was a little girl. Sometimes, I'd go into a convenience store, and the clerks would think I was a thief just because of the color of my skin. " ( side note, alongside her being pushed aside and metaphorically spat at obviously for being a little black girl. ellen also gives me the vibes of an autistic person who was never told that they had any mental conditions simply because their parents, her grandparents in this case, didn't want them to "use it as a crutch" .. but thats just me )

perhaps even growing anti-social because of this, struggling with human connection and often seeing her own emotions as illogical, getting angry at herself for wanting to cry or for rushing into things. which are just. generally very humane things to do. and implied to render others as illogical for "wasting their minds" . her character background stating "she knew in a deeply superficial intellectual way that "a mind is a terrible thing to waste," i imagine that after her being assaulted, losing her husband , and their child. alongside the trauma within her childhood, LITERALLY watching people she loved die whilst in "the ghetto" ( its still so crazy to me that they never mention this in the GAME. ) , and her incredibly flawed views on emotional status. she detatched herself from personal connection more and more. not only out of a belief that she didn't NEED it , but out of a fear of being incapable. being undesirable unless the other person wants something out of her. after losing so much because of it, rendering herself as incapable of connection. running away from it as much as she did her emotional problems. they're illogical, hysterical, why should she waste her time with them? why should she waste her time with people. but, under AM. completely powerless with nowhere to run away. all she can do is take in everything and let it consume and destroy her. even if it is something that isn't initially meant to hurt her. words of love, of care. being treasured. alongside furthering her paranoia by telling her she should be afraid of the others. being reassured, with the wrong message. being coddled and warmed by words of affection, but still with the wrong intentions, by the wrong person. and she cant run away, she cant fight, she cant redirect her attention. kill em with kindness, i suppose. or torture them. that works too. oh and ted too i guess... this post is too long for me to scream about the ,, weirder TEDAM likers who generally dont gaf about anything that makes them actually interesting and just like the haha gay stuff. i would get too mad

SP SUCCES STORY.‼️💋

(SOME BACKSTORY) Me and this guy have been talking for 4 months! Just taking things slow, no rush he sometimes would go days without texting me first which I changed cause of my thoughts duh, but this time it was different? OKAY OKAY anyways, I know I been posting about other things I been manifesting but I forgot to tell y’all this!! ME AND MY SP WENT 4 DAYS, WITHOUT COMMUNICATING, HE UNFOLLOWED ME OFF SOCIAL MEDIA, AND HIS FRIEND UNFOLLOWED ME TO. This was also RANDOMLY TOO? I was texting and yet no response, so I stopped. Took a deep breath when the world starts getting too loud and you start to lose faith in your abilities. Also I didnt know if something happened, or what but I didn’t think so once him and his friend removed me from there instagram. BRO I kid you not, of course as the god of my reality I said Unt unt. I immediately went into imagination and affirmed “ he’s in love with me what are you talking about?” “*his name* always text me” “ creation is already done” “isn’t it wonderful “ I affirmed those for the past few days whenever I got the chance (didn’t do any saturation sessions, no subliminals, no void, no SATS) just me my thoughts, and basic a+p, y’all. why I get a text RANDOMLY an hour ago saying “yoo, my bad baby I apologize??” idk rlly what went down, but when I asked what he said “something personal” I know that’s kinda hella dry but ay he still my man😛😛(We also talked about what had happened) LMAO, I’m taking this as a success story. I mean who can stop me I’m literally a MASTER MANIFESTOR who always get what I want just because I said so. Your subconscious works in MYSTERIOUS WAYS. YOU DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE HOW, JUST THE END. HOW IT UNFOLDS, IS NOT, AND I MEAN, IS NOT YOUR JOB!! I guess you can say I used “states, askfirmations, and robotic affirming!

I’m not aromantic but I am autistic so I think about this stuff a lot and I think that the word ship often carries connotation of implied “healthiness” it because ships are usually like “end goal” stuff rather than a realistic portrayal of two characters testing the waters of their relationship and seeing where it takes them. I think your AU does an excellent job of exploring complicated relationships (both of the romantic variety and the platonic/familial variety).

I think the person who submitted that ask was probably just inquiring as to whether or not Kraang and Donnie are “end game” as in like “are they going to be together forever?” but I think from a storytelling lens, the author does not have to endorse the actions of their characters. I think it’s very realistic given his character that Donnie would have a history of unhealthy relationships.

I don’t believe that depiction is necessarily endorsement, but I do think that in this day and age it’s important for us readers to promote nuanced discussion about *why* these characters are making unhealthy decisions and why we as readers should not try to recreate them in real life. Too often works like this can be taken out of context and weaponized by people that intend to do harm and take advantage of others.

I should mention that this is not a critique of you or your work, but rather of online spaces where it is far too easy for people to get hurt and what we as readers can do to make up for the shortcomings of the lack of safety restrictions online. This is just my personal thoughts though. Feel free to disregard.

idk to me ships are like "wouldnt that be funny/fucked up" or "this is insane but how would these two end up together- lets take a journey about it" but this would be a reasonable explanation of that ask, i guess

krang and donnie are "end game", if you wanna see it like that, because they enjoy each others company and the fucked up body horror BDSM situation they share. they aren't actually bad for each other in the end, though they don't start out that way.

also i'm gonna be real for a sec, you can use literally any kind of art to hurt people. people get groomed over minecraft, not cuz minecraft is Sensitive Media being shown to kids who shouldn't see it or whatever, but because it's a popular game that a lotta people like.

people get groomed using Lolita, a book that tells you right before you start reading it that the narrator is a liar and a disgusting immoral man, but people fall for it anyway cuz that's how manipulation works. it's not really about the media being used, it's about how the abuser wants to use it.

if you wanted to abuse a kid obsessed with dinosaurs you'd probably use media about dinosaurs to gain their trust, not an obscure tmnt abuse au where a wrinkly alien and a turtle man have weird kinky not-quite-sex.

i think discussions of characters are fun and interesting, don't get me wrong, that's like one of my main hobbies. but i dont think anything about it being This Day And Age makes people particularly more susceptible to having art used against them.

OH MY GOD THE POLLEN FIC ?????? Good lird my heart is broken into many pieces. the POVs so good!! Darren going through the gender hells™️!! And the anxiety of not knowing whether your loved ones will wreck you for it!! God!!

Man Apollo’s is a great balance between being able to tell he’s toxic and also desperately needs to go to therapy and also hit by stuff not under his control but also not doing enough considering the things he DOES have under his control MAN he’s so INTERESTING AUAGH!! and like!! The thing Will said about knowing that his dad would always eventually do what he should, even if he takes some time, because he loves them WHEN HERE HE’S AVOIDING DOING JUST THAT EXACTLY it’s so cool to be able to see how he’s changed so specifically! also is the nonce tgol’s Commodus bc goddamn I know Apollo doesn’t kill him in this universe but if he did brother I’d be cheering and whooping FRRR. literally when I read those bits I wanted to shake Apollo by the shoulders and yell ‘you are a victim!! You’re a victim!!’. i sincerely hope he gets to clock said nonce in the face!

ALSO also idk if this spoilers or not but I’m so interested to find out how the situation has changed so Darren’s feelings about being reduced to Apollo’ “wife” are resolved somehow when they DO get married (either this or I’m a fool who can’t put two and two together): is it more of a focus on his gender specifically, where people see him very much as a guy now (enthusiastic)? Do the press just dgaf about him and Apollo moreso now (very enthusiastic)? Is it that he’s more established in archery that people solidly know him as a coach and don’t generally reduce him to Apollo’s partner at large (maybe??)?

anyway I hope you’re having a great day and week!!

AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH <33

apollo has seriously always been one of my FAVORITEEE characters to write even when it was just the memoir, but going into early twenties apollo's head??? it's some wild shit going on thereJSDF he's dealing with a LOT and definitely not in the best ways and he is so not aware of most of it while being overwhelmingly aware of other stuff. it's just a total mess and it pains me whenever i write it knowing that one day this will turn into memoir!apollo and he will look back on all of these days with regret </3 he truly is toxic as hell but can we even blame him???? that's a question i still don't actually know (but darren would say yes)JSDFJ

"also is the nonce tgol’s Commodus bc goddamn I know Apollo doesn’t kill him in this universe but if he did brother I’d be cheering and whooping FRRR" JSDFJDSF DAMN U GUESSED IT okay so like. i didnt wanna make his ex's actual name commodus bc like. bro who names their kid commodus and also that'd be too unrealistic but (spoiler for future memoir excerpts!) i plan to have apollo not out his ex by giving him a name of an ancient roman emperor. and he chooses commodus. the guy who drowns in his bathtub. he's petty like that :)

"is it more of a focus on his gender specifically, where people see him very much as a guy now (enthusiastic)? Do the press just dgaf about him and Apollo moreso now (very enthusiastic)? Is it that he’s more established in archery that people solidly know him as a coach and don’t generally reduce him to Apollo’s partner at large (maybe??)?"

it's a mix of all of these things! for one, darren is fully transitioned now and when he would be marrying apollo, he would be recognized as apollo's husband. also gay marriage is legal in america atp so like that can actually happen. (which was def a factor for darren, bc at that time he literally wouldn't be able to be recognized as male and also as married to apollo in the us). the press/media has definitely shifted its focus a bit from apollo and darren (though they are obviously still there sometimes) and overall is much less homophobic & transphobic & misogynistic (don't get me wrong, it still 100% is, but like, slightly better!! small steps!!)

and ofc, he's just... grown up. he's abt 3 years older than apollo so they obvi weren't children by any means when they were dating, but apollo was,, well. we know how apollo was. and darren was lazer focused on the olympics. since all that's happened, he's been able to mature and live for *himself* rather than a medal for a much longer time, and reprioritize some things in his life. plus the fact that he's not actively aiming for a medal/competing in the olympics leaves a lot more room/time in his life to open up to the idea of being married.

but also like. they've given it over a decade. they're still in love with each other. i'd say that's reason enough for them to get married finally - long story short, 2004 was wrong time, but 202[insert year] is right time :)

thank you for the ask!! <3

i think nobody on earth has experienced a more perfect confluence of events to occur while watching the innocents than me and im afraid to rewatch it because i can never perfectly recreate the circumstances of that beautiful insane film experience because i was working as a nanny at the time with two kids a boy and a girl around the same age as the kids in the film and even like similar circumstances of children being pulled out of school tho in my real life case it was because of the pandemic not other mysterious events and left much more isolated than the average child etc and it was maybe one of my worst jobs ever and the various mental coping strategies to deal with the emotional fallout of that experience have lead to a few indelibly imprinted media experiences from that moment but none more specific than the innocents lol so im watching it lalala like ok this is all very eerie i am feeling so specifically targeted by this film i did partially watch it because of the lining up of life circumstance and film but like LITERALLY the day after i watched that film the kids decided for the first time they wanted to play hide and seek and this was like over a month in we had played many various games but not hide and seek and so im like sitting there crouched behind the piano in this huge fucking house as the children are looking around for me and im like flashing back to the scene in the film and getting a lil freaked out for a second and being like wow how on earth did i end up in this exact circumstance anyways im gonna read the turn of the screw but im kinda nervous to do so because again how perfect my film viewing experience was idk if i can open my heart to other experiences around this specific story..

4, 8, 24, 25 - missy!

YAY

4 - If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

i got an an ask about this ages ago and spent a really long time thinking about it but i really think missy is too wrapped up in Doctor Who Specifically to really work in any other story? like i watched agatha all along the other day and agatha is Very Missy but even if i dropped missy into that situation i just feel like it wouldn't be her? anymore? but with that being said i think she would be a good character for a vaugely space opera-ey book where we spend most of the book inside her head, with her thoughts, not a lot of dialouge. it might take away a bit from her general fabulousness & over the topness but i think she would be a good character for one of those 'last person alive in xyz isolated space station' things. although possibly that is just my desire to pick apart her psyche.

that being said i think she would also thrive doing This Is How You Lose The Time War with twelve although that is possibly very similar to the dw time war anyways....

8 - What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

it's not nessecarily The Fandom b/c i havent seen much of it in the fan creations i look at but a lot of people, eu authors included, seem to really lean in to her being Secretly A Good And Nice Person which she?? isnt really?? like obv s10 & 'let me try to be good' is a very important part of her arc but most of her regen & existence before that isn't under that. she does kill people. for funsies. like there's an audio story i forget which one where she's pretending to be a nanny to some kids & i know they were doing it for mary poppins paralells but they were leaning wayyyy to far into the 'she's only pretending to be mean & secretly loves them' angle which sort of annoys me idk why. it just feels so reductive

24 - What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

i wouldnt say im anywhere near in the fandom but as i mentioned before i watched agatha all along & it was literally died 2017 born 2024 welcome back missy doctor who. the similiarites. Were There. which im fairly sure was intentional like theres no way thats a coincidence but it was a wee bit jarring for the first couple episodes.

25 - What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

my first impression, from the little bits at the end of episodes through s8 was sort of just a 'i'm sure this will all be super important later idk why she called the doctor her boyfriend though' but when she kissed him in dark water i was mostly just thinking GOOD FOR HER lol. the master reveal did go crazy though i was clapping & cheering for that hehe i'd only worked it out like ten seconds before she actually says it lol

like i definitely knew i liked her & thought she was really cool but while i was watching her seasons i was still stuck on the tenth doctor so it kinda took me a while & some episode rewatches to get fully attached to her & now ive been thinking about her for six months lol

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

about freddie's privacy i remember louis wanted privacy and briana did too (idk if its real maybe i'm mixing up my memories cause its been 10 years) but she kept posting pictures of the baby, she kept fighting with other fans and i don't know how real the tweet to danielle of "you will never be his mother" is, it seems like i'm blaming briana but sometimes she just added more drama, i understand that it was her first baby and she wanted to share it with the world but didn't she see that the world was cruel to her newborn? and i know it's not her fault, she should be free to share whatever she wants about freddie but she literally had haters waiting for anything to attack and here goes my controversial part about louis, i feel like he did nothing real to stop the crazy theories the larries made up about freddie, i know they never listen to him and don't believe what he says but couldn't he and briana file a lawsuit? because they were messing with a minor, I remember I was 15 and I was just starting to use Twitter and it was the day Freddie was born and they were saying horrible things about him and Louis, I have this horrible feeling of saying he’s a baby, what is he going to feel when he’s 10 and sees all the things they said about him? I was 15 and my mind was like why are they saying these bad things about Louis? I remember very well the desperation of trying to write nice things to Louis for the birth of his son, but it was obvious that they were lost among so many malicious comments, but from the moment they saw what they were/are doing, why didn’t they give them a real consequence for their actions? I think we all know that they are never going to stop, no matter how much we tell them that Louis hates them, that he doesn't love them, that he blocks Larries on TW, that he says how much he loves his son, they are never going to stop, what I am saying is perhaps too drastic and I know that these were difficult times for Louis, but these people need to truly understand the consequences of their actions, how horrible people they are for having messed with a minor for almost nine years since before he was born, the ideal thing would be for them to grow up and leave their fantasies behind but they are not going to do that. I'm sorry, I'm not very good at writing in English, I hope you can understand my point.

Thanks for writing. I agree with a lot of what you say.

I don’t think it’s easy to “sue” Larries. The backlash and bad publicity wouldn’t be worth it. Louis would have to prove that a Larrie lied knowingly with intent to harm, which is difficult to do in court (Briana wouldn’t have the money to pay the lawyers anyway).

As I’ve said before, I think that anyone who has used Freddie for publicity has harmed his life, and that includes Freddie’s parents— Louis and Briana— and their respective families. Parading baby Freddie publicly to “prove the Larries wrong” showed poor judgment. Children cannot consent to being used in social media. The risk for consequent psychological harm is almost always uniformly high. Therefore, most celebrities rightly protect their children from public scrutiny.

It was always very clear to me that Briana was posting Freddie in order to gain fame and influence, and that she used Freddie’s parentage to climb the social scene in Hollywood, even at the bottom rungs.

The only thing I will argue is that Freddie’s family should be able to interact with him normally, without hateful comments. He should be able to spend holidays where he wants to. He should be able to go to his father’s concerts whenever he wants to (but Louis can also protect him more by letting him sit backstage or VIP, like the Tomlinsons do). As much as Louis wants a “normal life” for himself, the fact is that no celebrity at his level of fame can live a normal life, and his child needs more protection from the public than other kids. There should be a balance, but the priority should be Freddie’s safety.

You’re right that Larries will never stop. Nothing Louis says or does will discourage them. They would rather destroy him and Freddie before admitting that they’re wrong. At this point, Louis probably should ignore them and try his best to gain other non-1D fans, which means following Harry’s, Niall’s, and Zayn’s examples and blacklist 1D questions and stop covering 1D songs.

Just read your new update, i was fucking ready to murder vale with my bare hands but it luckily was just him having fun at poor Marc's expense

You did say that this isn't the end of this story, so may i be so rude and ask if we get the huge media reveal and everyone's reaction 👉👈

Also, imagine poor pecco being marc's teammate in 25 and him being subjected to listen to them over sharing because "it is just pecco, he wouldn't judge"

Or bez getting drunk and traumatizing alex by over sharing to him

WAIT IMAGINE IF POOR BEZ HAS TO SUFFER WITH BEING JORGES TEAMMATE AND IT IS UNKNOWN TO THE MEDIA WHAT KIND OF EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION HE DID TO THE ENTIRE ACADEMY

Plsplspls write a one shot in the future where the two are teammates and he completely shaded jorge for everything he did in a side sentence and everyone is like : 👁️👄👁️ bitch did what now?

Or even more dramatic, someone else spills the tea and bez and marc have to be like 🧍 yeah shit happened i guess

Anyway, i absolutely loved it and i am not ready for it to come to an end, i really enjoyed getting to read a little story from you every day from your winter writing challenge

With love,

Mango anon 🥭

Uuuuhhhh.... So actually that was mostly it at this point. There is one more story/ scene I have in mind for the soulmate AU (for now. I was thinking about writing some proper smut but atm I'm really not in the mood so that's pushed back). Originally I wanted to add it with part 8 but I was running out of tike and looking at tomorrow's schedule I don't have time to write another winter writing chapter so I will just use that.

But I like the idea of the medial reveal. Especially imagine the Italian medias turning against Bez for a second and making headlines like "Academy rider betrays mentor" or "Is that the real reason the former VR46 rider switched to Aprilla?" or "Marquez-manipulation: Marco bezzecchi" . Basically they are making up drama and shit. And then Vale sees all that (comedical scene in my head: all those headline are getting read out loud. Cut to Vale. He turns around, clearly surprised about it all *still chewing on a sandwich* and he is like "OH FUCK. GOTTA SAY SMTH) and Vale just posts a picture of Marc and Bez cuddling or sleeping together on a couch just in general bering sweet and it's CLEARLY at the ranch. And he just adds "In-laws, right? 🙄 But you gotta play nice for the kid :) look how in love they are!" as a captions and leaves. IMMEDIATE MEDIA CHAOS

HEHEH OH POOR PECCO. He just wants his peace and quite and somehow ends up sandwiched between Marc and Bez. Like he is ALWAYS with either or both of them. Like he's with Bez in his free time and with Marc when working. And Bez is always lurking around Ducati to get time with his bf (yes they said they'll stay professional and all *cut to Marc covering his eyes and running through the aprilla garage/ facility/ motorhome screaming "I JUST WANT TO CUDDLE MY BF" or "THAT ASSHOLE STOLE MY PHONE" or "I'M AN IDIOT AND LEFT MY HELMET IN HIS ROOM" while running to Bez. They are used to it very quick)

Oh yeah drunk Bez IS a talking drunk. Source: a talking drunk. NO ROOM FOR DEBATE. TALK TO THE WALL. So ALL of the academy are getting traumatized by the stories. (Pecco can't look his teammate in the eyes for the first days afterwards) Because it's not what they expect: not (always) Marc fucking Bez but more Bez fucking Marc (Dom bottom/big dick bottom Marc? Hell yeah but if course also Bez getting fucked REAL good. Marc got insane top game. Idk, I think they have a dynamic in which both works evenly)

AND OMG I FORGOT THE MARTIN PART AGAIN!!!! (I know I wrote it but I keep forgetting that bit) I LOVE THE IDEA THAT IT COMES BACK TO BITE JORGE IN THE ASS IN SOME WAY. Literally my first thought was that Marc silently tortures Martin. Like do you know Cato the eldest? Okay. History lesson: there was a public debate in the Roman Senate prior to the 3rd punic war. Basically Cato (Roman politican) always said at the end of every public debate/statement "Furthermore, I consider Carthage to need to be destroyed" even if it had NOTHING to do with the actual subject they were talking about. He really wanted that war. AND THAT IS MARC. like he always finds a way to make a hit against Martin. Kind of like "Furthermore I consider Martin to be an asshole". And then the public somehow finds out what happened with Bez and Martin and Marc is like "THAT WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR YEARS NOW!"

AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. OMG that is so sweet. I was never prepared for people liking my writing IT MAKES MY HEART EXPLODEEEE!!!

Always happy to hear from you 🥭 :)
