[azulaaaaaaah]

rating every zuko ship (cause that mf is shipped with everyone)

CLICKBAIT!!! this isn’t every zuko ship just the main ones i immediately lied lol. idk if any of these are hot takes or not but please don’t crucify me (might do a part 2 where it’s azula ships)

Jinko - Zuko/Jin

6/10

awwww it’s cute (for what it is)

and what it is was one singular date that was never really mentioned again

i really appreciate how jin is so unperturbed by zuko’s awkward angst and just genuinely likes him

howevvver she’s kinda one dimensional (as she’s only in like an episode) and i just don’t see this going anywhere longterm

less a ship, more a vehicle for zuko’s character development lol

Jetko- Zuko/Jet

3/10

jet being zuko’s first gay encounter is canon in my eyes

don’t ship them however cause i hate jet with the fire of a thousands suns

similar issues to jin as well where their interactions are extremely limited so personally have no clue how this could be a long term thing

Maiko- Zuko/Mai

5/10

i am so impartial on this ship it’s not even funny.

i get that it’s canon. i get that izumi looks suspiciously like mai so it’s endgame. i just don’t see HOW?? it feels as if the writers realised zutara was becoming popular and were like ‘OH SHIT WE GOTTA DEFUSE THIS SITUATION SOMEHOW’

their relationship is basically just mai being a cold asshole and zuko being an angry asshole and there’s no change or development between EITHER OF THEM

however when they’re cute they’re cute !!!!

‘i love zuko more than i fear you’ COLDEST LINE EVER

however again it’s like - you had a crush on him as a kid. he was BANISHED. you dated for like a month as teens. you argued the whole time. he left again- and shortly after you saved him from prison, but then you were imprisoned partly due to his actions. you get back together again, he becomes the ruler of a country, and then you’re surprised it’s isolating him/making him even more of an asshole???

on the other hand we as a society need to admit that zuko is weirdly possessive of her (ig that’s a positive if ur a booktok romance girlie but im not). like if i was mai i wouldn’t put up with that toxic shit either

at the end of the day, i honestly don’t care that they’re canon lol- but i think they’d probably best as a bitchy best friend duo

Zukaang - Zuko/Aang

1/10

not round here partner. not round here

my first issue is the age gap is objectively extremely weird if examined in canon. leaving it at that

i get that this is grumpy x sunshine in a way the other ships aren’t to me- but we’ve only ever seen these two characters interact with each other when there’s (again) A WEIRD AGE GAP

they are bros in the least homosexual way possible

the cherry on top of this situation is: isn’t aang the reincarnation of his great grandpa? isn’t that giving slight, uh, inc*st vibes??? imagine if people shipped korra and jinora isn’t that just WEIRD???

Zuki - Zuko/Suki

8/10

is this my most controversial take ???

i am a sucker for bodyguard x royal family dynamics guys

and the fact that this is girlboss x malewife is even BETTER

suki seems the most competent at handling his pissy ass in a way the other people on this list aren’t

like she’s real. she’s not sugarcoating his situation, BUT SHES COMPASSIONATE !!

i don’t like throuples typically but suzukki is even eliter than this, which removes the whole ‘going against the bro code’ element that arises from them being together

also i feel like if you haven’t read the comics this doesnt make sense At All so please do

-2 points for the lack of tangible reason to ship them lol

Zutara - Zuko/Katara

7.5/10

okay this one makes the most logistical sense to me within canon (solely examined as a zuko ship not overall)

it really seems as if they were gonna make this canon and swerved circa book 2

LIKE CMONNNN OG ENEMIES TO LOVERS WHERE THE GUY ACTUALLY HAS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND ISN’T JUST EVIL? FIRE X WATER? ITS INTRIGUING

something about this makes me uncomfortable though. (despite the age gap which again a little weird)

something about katara potentially becoming the fire lady is so… icky. she’s a waterbender. the fire nation tried to systematically erase her kind. her mother is killed by the fire nation because they think she’s a waterbender. and katara…. what, becomes part of the royal family? it just seems wrong, and like something she wouldn’t be into

also i feel like their arguments would be a little too NUCLEAR. there’s like, a 50% chance of divorce

she deserves a better ending than that is all i’m saying

to paraphrase the hunger games: katara has plenty of fire herself. SHE NEEDS THAT DANDELION IN THE SPRING MAN

(i’m a kataang truther)

Zukka - Zuko/Sokka

9/10

my zuko related otp!!!

bros to lovers guys, where zuko falls first but sokka falls HARDER !!!

ik this will never be canon and im happy with that. i know there’s not even a whisper of romance between them in the show, but i just think it’s c u t e .

sokka (like suki) is very likely to call zuko out on his shit, but less likely to lose his own shit (like katara)

this in my heart of hearts is 10/10 however is still problematic in a similar way to zutara

his mother is killed by the fire nation and he (presumably) becomes consort ?

however though, i would still say it’s not as ruhroh as zutara bc firstly, sokka isn’t a waterbender, and secondly, ‘consort’ is a lot more open to interpretation than i think fire lady is. in my opinion a consort ≠ a fire lady, just like irl a consort ≠ a queen. it kinda means he can still be ambassador to the southern water tribe/a leader of his own people, while just so happening to be married to the fire lord.

overall i can’t help but stan a friends to lover ship cmOn now

[athenawasamerf]

What's life in Egypt like?

This is a very vague question so I’m not sure how to answer, really. It’s kind of tense these days, anyway.

Ig the day to day is pretty typical. I’m not exactly the average citizen, most of my time is taken up with med school so I don’t explore or go out as much as I should. I live in Alexandria, and I love it here. Coastal, the old section of the city is beautiful, lots of greenery. It’s pouring down rain all through winter, driving is near impossible because everyone is fucking insane (which is typical for Egyptian cities lol), it’s pretty densely populated, the food is phenomenal. We have a ton of museums and historical sites, and the library of Alexandria is pretty rad. The economy is shit and getting shittier, we’re under a military dictatorship (again but worse than last time), inflation is insane and the country is in a ton of debt to the point that the central bank of Egypt has stopped all foreign currency transactions on debit cards, and credit cards have a foreign currency limit of the equivalent of $250/month.

From a feminist perspective, it’s not the best place to be. Alexandria is better than most of the country, but I still get harassed regularly. Egyptian men are paternalistic and have a weirdly entitled attitude towards all women, we have in-jokes in feminist circles about the fruit vendor from down the street being mad at you for coming home late. Tbf I’m fairly open about my feminist opinions and that hasn’t caused me any trouble, and basically all my friends and acquaintances know that I wear a hijab in front of my family and take it off at school/when I’m out with friends, and 4 of my cousins know about the hijab thing as well. Dating culture is fairly normalised in Alexandria, so everyone in my circles including two of my cousins know about my love life (but not my sexuality). In some places of Egypt, I’d be honour killed for any one of these things, so I’m grateful to be where I am. There’s still a line of chauvinism running in the country, though that’s the least of our worries as feminists. I have a post about marriage and divorce in Egypt under my Egyptian feminism tag if you’re interested in learning more about that aspect.

From an LGB perspective, unfortunately the little progress we’d made in the late 00’s and early 10’s has been receding quickly. We’d gotten to a point of live and let live in some areas, but the introduction of trans ideology in the west caused a massive recoil in perception of LGB people here, and there’s been a crackdown on LGB-sympathetic ideas. Every time it’s brought up, you get a look of disgust and ‘they’re teaching kids to change their sex’. It’s going to take massive amounts of time and effort to repair this damage.

And finally, from a religious perspective, well. Not much has improved re acceptance of atheism or non-abrahamic religious beliefs. Egyptian law technically protects your right to freedom of belief, but, crucially, not your right to freedom of expression of religious belief. National ID cards must have your religion listed on them, and the only options are Muslim/Christian/Jew. Contempt of religion and ‘violating Egyptian family values’ laws are pretty strict and are used to prosecute everything from girls dancing on TikTok to blasphemy. I don’t see this improving any time soon, though foreigners (non-Arabs) are given some leeway.

I hope I’ve covered the most important points, but please feel free to reach out if you have more specific questions!

[jade-efflorescence]

hiiii. im here to ask you some unnecessary and completely random questions//make you list something

: ̗̀➛ opinion on turtles?

: ̗̀➛ do you like roosters?

: ̗̀➛ does it snow where you live?

: ̗̀➛ do you have a painting or poster in your room? if so, what is it and why do you have ir?

: ̗̀➛ tell me 3 random facts about you that you've never said online

(FEEL FREE TO IGNORE THIS. MY FRIEND (MARE OR @/STVRLIGHHTT) DOES THIS SOO)

happy holidays my beloved mutual <3

hi fellow mutual! wanted to find a good time to answer all these questions in detail, sorry for the wait!

: ̗̀➛ turtles are one of the most adorable things ever. i love them. they're also sooooo fascinating to watch move around like oh wow what are they doing???

: ̗̀➛ i found this question really funny since i live in the country and my family currently owns chickens for eggs! roosters are awesome, they can be pretty loud tho XD some can be pretty temperamental too, really depends on what kind of rooster you're dealing with.

: ̗̀➛ it does! not a ton which is a bit sad :(( but we get a few inches or so throughout the winter! (excluding that huge winter blizzard we had last year haha)

: ̗̀➛ hmm i don't have a painting or poster but i do have a bulletin board i got to decorate my room with! after years and years of sharing a room with one of my sisters i got one of my own this past summer, and i thought having a pinboard would honestly be better than hanging up a big picture because i can change it up anytime i want XD this is what it looks like right now, except i recently got some star lights from christmas shopping and i stuck them around the frame of the board!

: ̗̀➛ fact 1: avocado is one of my least favorite foods (guacamole has become the exception)

: ̗̀➛ fact 2: i got into bracelet making BEFORE i even went to the eras tour movie bc i thought all the ones swifties were making looked too fun not to try! annnd now i have way too many beads and leftover bracelets of all sorts XD if anyone has a suggestion for giving them away that would be amazing actually

: ̗̀➛ fact 3: i wanted to be a ballerina or a scriptwriter/movie director when i was really little! never became either, but i danced all throughout high school and am actively looking at a future in the book publishing industry so ig those interests manifested in different ways <33

these questions were so much fun to think about! thank you for the ask, it made my day :D i love chatting with people here always so please feel free to send anything you like! and happy holidays to you as well!

[eye-in-hand]

Kind of laughing kind of eye rolling at a european blog I used to follow who's making an american civil war character "thats morally dubious but he's a southern solider but I dont want to play a huge racist so he deserts and tries to join the union" which is all fine and good ig but like lmao either don't be scared to play a morally dubious character or don't write one? Like what he's okay with murder but not racism but he was a southern soldier? But actually hes a defector? But he was totally not influenced by southern politics at the time hes "one of the good guys (but not too good, hes morally dubious)" lmfao idk

Im sure there were some civil war soldiers like that but I feel like a european isnt going to know the nuances of the american civil war enough to write a character like that without it being really like idk idk how to describe why this is just weird lmfao

Also while the south was objectively worse towards the black population, racism exists up north as well, esp back then

Trying to word why this bothers me maybe it's the putting 21st century morals onto a character from a country and time you're not from instead of researching a way to make it feel more natural? Like if you don't want to engage w a racist character (understandably) why are you choosing a time in american history that was literally warring over slavery of blacks like idk lmfao like you want to preach about how not racist you are and youre so much better than american southerners while using the south to create a character

Idk its a small thing and not like making me mad im just confused on what they think they're doing w this character from a writers pov LMFAO

The union was against slavery but that does not mean they saw blacks as equal to whites my guy LMFAO the racism was just different. You chose one of the most racist times in american history (next to jim crow south) that still affects america today and your character is too morally righteous to be affected by that?

I have a character who grew up under Italian fascism and I made sure to flesh out his thoughts and feelings about that because the environment we grow up in affects us?

Not saying you can't write a character like that, who goes against the grain but like. At least understand what that would mean for the time/place? I doubt hed be treated as a heroic, anti racist brave guy and more like a criminal on either side but idk maybe thats what they meant by morally dubious who knows lmfao

Just from a writer pov it already feels like they just want to preach their own views onto a time period that cant listen cuz theyre dead

there is GREAT ways to explore racism in literature and we SHOULD. On all sides of the aisle, because thats how we can better understand other human beings. You dont have to write characters that only do things you agree with? Boring idk lmfao and isnt hard to write. I have a soviet character and every time I write when he talks about it I roll my eyes but like lmfaO

"A confederate soldier who defects because he isn't racist" is such a simplification of the civil war. The union didn't fight the south because they cared about blacks lol

[olderthannetfic]

i'm a literature student at a fairly prestigious university for my country and i've recently returned to tumblr - i'm honestly shocked at how fandom has changed. Obviously in traditional literature there are 'problematic' things that happen, that you can dislike and even be disturbed by, but that doesn't mean the literature isn't valid? And its the same for modern media. Like in the 'real world' at school (at least where im from) we have content warnings (we call them health warnings) for nasty topics and then we just. . . discuss and analyse, which ig is stating the obvious in a university setting but still, like what do people who are fandom purists believe actual literature analysis is like?? idk I'm just rlly surprised honestly.

I also personally believe in free publishing, because if everything is published or posted above board then everything can be open to critique and criticism, otherwise people will talk about the same things in underground spaces and it could get way more toxic than having general mild fandom discourse on tumblr. Although it seems like fandom discourse is anything but mild these days.

I don't really have a super concise point but just some thoughts ive been having since returning to fandom spaces, wanted to know what you make of how i'm feeling :)

--

The authoritarian puritywankers existed before, but they were slightly different demographics or in slightly different spaces from now.

I think some of the more "thoughtcrimes are real" types who freak out over the most minor of fictional transgressions live in a bubble. That doesn't mean their lives are perfect. Hell, they may be dealing with actual abuse in their daily lives. But they aren't forced to confront how messy life is even among people one respects and mostly agrees with and are able to cling to the idea of Good People vs. Bad People.

That said, for every booktuber going on about how some YA book's misstep will indoctrinate the youth and spell the end of civilization, I still see 10 old, bigoted guys bleating about "political correctness run amok" just because a school assigned a book by a black author. Annoying wokesters are very present and more of an active problem around fandom on Tumblr, but I think it's easy to imagine that they're far more powerful and numerous than they actually are.

The few young anti types I know offline tend to have random bouts of rage over problematic things but also are often too shy to speak up in person. Many of them get laughed at for their Very Online views and have trouble connecting with people offline. If someone they admire or just someone with a strong personality asserts the opposite of the anti party line, they instantly fold.

I would not say that the average Youth™ falls for purity discourse. Some do, but not only do we tend to not hear from or notice the ones who can behave themselves, but also, a lot of the most virulent wankers are older people who should know better and who are engaging in this bullshit for clout.

Bullies and idiots probably aren't any more numerous than in the past. They're just expressing it a little differently these days.

[chattegeorgiana]

Hey Chatte hope all is well! I saw your special Narusakra comic and your most recent post on IG showing off the Crown of the Sun for Sakura. Can’t wait to read & see how she gets there. I saw a lot of awesome pieces for NarSaukra day so I want to thank you and the rest of the community for keeping it alive.

I have been rereading Kaika and the chapters 11-13 so far are my favorite. I’m excited to how you are going to make the aliens/gods work and to be honest you have done a better than the canon. As for everyone’s favorite snake sanin I’m interested to how he ends in the plot. While personally I didn’t care for him be a “good�� guy in canon in the present. He will always be a creature of habit and self serving. So I’m excited. Also a headcannon I thought of regarding him and Shina’s Gen. He would be interested Shina the most compared to the U twins probably feed up with Uchilas in general. Also given the fact that he probably shoot’s himself for overlooking Naruto and Sakura originally for the more polished product in Sauake. Shina also looking and sharing personality with Minmato would be funny because he would take as Minmato ghost coming back and trolling him. Best part is Shina would have no idea how much his presence would be triggering for him lol.

One last point it’s a little something I wanted to share with you. So I used to live in this suburb next to Newark NJ, USA and in Newark there is this section called Forest Hills. This neighborhood is famous for two reasons one is its old fashion mansions and Branch Brooke Park, which has over 5,000 Japanese cherry blossoms trees planted there. They have their own cherry blossoms festival and everything.

Hiii dear, welcome back again to my inbox!

Glad to hear you liked the NaruSaku special and Sakura's Crown of the Sun art.

To be honest, can't wait to get there myself. I have sooo many interesting ideas about how she gets it. Too many even, lol. I finally got to understand what other writers were meaning when they said you will get to discard some ideas at some point.

In the beginning I was like naa, I won't be doing that. But with time the ideas developed so much, that I see no other way than to drop a few from the beginning or better said, reform some of them to fit the new, updated idea lol.

Also thank you for your kind words. It is my pleasure, and many other artists, I'm sure, to keep the community alive.

After all, it's just pure love for them and that's it. We're free of the shackles of canon, so yay for us!

Now, to get back to Kaika.

First of all, thank you once again for your compliments! I'm so happy to see you liked what - at least - I'm trying to do there with the Otsutsukis.

I believe that the idea with them was not bad. It's the execution that's problematic, imo. That's why I tried to take a different route with them, while still referencing the canon element. I will be referencing a lot of elements from the OG franchise, because I do like the idea. I just don't like the execution.

As for Orochimaru well... We have a here saying in my country that says the wolf changes its fur, but not its habits.

What I can say is that, that's what I'll follow. Narratively as well.

Because like you said, deep down, he's a creature of habit. Habits are our second nature. That's why it's not that easy to change one self and you first gotta change your habits.

In OG it is shown to us that Oro didn't actually changed his habits at all, he is just being let loose. Which narratively makes so little sense?

You tell me that the man who basically put in motion everything that we've been witnessing along the path of Naruto manga, is just going to be left to do whatever he wants because... he's a necessary evil?

That's not how you act with the necessary evil. You don't let it loose and just barely keep him under supervision, imo.

If anything, he's a "joker" type of character. You never know when he's gonna pop off the box to scare ya away with some machiavellian ploy.

As for your headcanon of him and Shina, well, there is a common element in there that we have. I can't say that he's fed-up with the Uchihas (after all, Uchihas were his obsession), but...

I have a certain idea in mind about the path I have with him and him overlooking Naruto & Sakura's family, generally, because well, Sakura Haruno doesn't come from any prestigious clan that could benefit his pursuits, right?

And yet, surprise-surprise, the ones you least expect are the ones who get to bring the biggest turnarounds.

The thing is, I have two routes I want to take with him in terms of his eventual demise and I'm undecided on which side to go with, lol.

One involved him and Tsunade and was kinda dramatic, and the other one involves NaruSaku family, ironically. So I really don't know which way to go.

Because all this will be happening in Kaika Shinsei's timeline, which I am yet to settle.

I guess I'll see after I finish writing Saisei how things evolve until then, so that'll probably help me decide.

And WOOW, thank you so much for sharing that piece of info with me?! I ADORE cherry blossoms.

I grew-up with them and other types of blossoms, so for me, spring blossoms, especially cherry ones, are very special.

Actually the city where I moved has some parks filled with

I dream of travelling to Japan one day and live the original cherry blossoms season experience. But until then I enjoy the wanna-be one from here haha.

ANyway, thanks once again for the ask. Hope you have an amazing rest of your time today/tonight. <3

[klappert-art]

It's my 5 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳 --- Wow it's been 5 years since I tried to learn to draw properly and post them here 😅

Long rambling under the cut

Honestly it was pretty challenging for me because my study (when I started this blog) was pretty intense, also I live at home, commute every day to go to class so finding time & energy to draw is out of the window. I'm always amazed that most of my fav artists are real university students too, who probably have it even harder than me but they can draw a lot better... So why can't I??

The thing that I learned over time is, I improved faster when I draw fan arts. Because I have real and strict references to follow, unlike when I do OC where I usually just random bullshit go. That's why you see me posted fan arts more here. I just do my favorite fandom to motivate myself lol.

I am a picky person regarding fandom because mentally I can't handle so many heartbreaks (HAHA). And I need a fandom with diverse things to draw. Fate series is very perfect for me. I really like their ideas and the characters are just challenging. I've been into it since 2016-2017 and my pre-Fate art compared to today is... dkgeagwefgwk. I owe my skill growth to this fandom. My first post here was a Tomoe Gozen fan art 😂

I got into radar twice (which is still weird and unbelievable) because of a Noragami FA and my first A:TLA FA ever posted. Which was funny, because I don't draw them that much. But then again, my first "exposure" was from a random Taylor Swift ink art for a random inktober in 2019. That was so surreal lol.

Maybe you notice another fandom I draw a lot too, yes the game of all people in this world: Genshin Impact. Man, I started the game in release and thought "I have to make at least one fan art with the scenery of the game, and maybe this gonna be my first and last GI fan art." And look where we are now. I didn't expect this game would blow up, I believe the first FA I posted was one of the earliest Genshin post on tumblr 😂.I started doing GI FA also because I am mesmerized by the landscape and want to draw landscapes better. You see, there's this kind of reason in EVERY media I'm involving myself into. I simply like pretty and cool things. Sadly at some point the fandom is hell, so I like to take a step back sometimes.

Few months ago I also did some vtubers FA. Although mostly HoloID only, simply because I'm proud of them. Vtuber community has this unique relationship between Vtubers and derivative works, so you can feel real accomplishment when you showed your work to them.

Still, I still highly prefer to make real good original art and story someday. For now, I guess I have to grind first, because my current level is still not where I want to be yet to achieve that.

I use tumblr to post because I like the blogging and tagging system, however this site isn't popular in my country and my marketing for local cons isn't effective if I only use tumblr. I have IG, but I don't like it, thinking I should make twitter or something. AAaaA. My wish for now is to make many money with art lol (at least to supply my disposable income).

And some little things about myself, I'm working now, but not in creating art/design field. It's more of a history and research field (I do still interested in design... if I have the chance--yes I graduated from design thingy school). This blog is like... my creative outlet. The girl on my avatar is my OC Klappy, a gjinka of klappertaart. Klappertaart is the name of an Indonesian dessert (well, the name itself is dutch I guess) made from coconut topped with raisins. Dalr is an acronym from my real name. Thanks for reading, have a good day.

[hashtagloveloses]

i know that everyone is blaming gen z and alpha and calling them stupid for this, but it actually isn’t their fault:

1) google has gotten demonstrably worse, ON PURPOSE in the last few years. not just because of AI, but how it changes your searches to make more money and is almost all sponsored or SEO-gamed results, plus google and facebook’s now over a decade long dismantling of journalism of all kinds, has led to this. so people of all ages are finding it less useful and finding it hard to parse accurate answers.

2) it’s a bit of a misnomer to say they aren’t using google at all - gen z, gen alpha, and other generations are using YOUTUBE, owned by Google parent company Alphabet, more than ever before, because despite its many issues and decline, it remains accessible in most countries, unblocked on most networks, and easy to use. TikTok may still be on the rise, but YouTube remains a homepage for a lot of people in the way Google used to be.

3) They’re using Tiktok (and IG despite it not really working well) more like a search engine because the app is molding itself and PROMPTING them to. every video has the search bar at the top with a suggested search term that the app generated through scanning keywords said in the video, caption, and comments. every comment section on popular video has a feature where if a phrase or word is said a lot, it turns it into a suggested search a user can click on and go directly to from the comments. Creators are learning search-engine optimization strategy because the app is prioritizing videos for monetization that are longer and follow common SEO practices (this is to compete with YouTube - TikTok wants more long videos and streaming to make it more like YouTube, and YouTube bolstered YouTube shorts to make it more like TikTok).

4) Creators of all kinds - for fun, for education, for anything, who may have written on a blog in the past are turning to making SEO-friendly video on any of these platforms, also, because Google (and the social platforms that used to bring click traffic like Twitter and Facebook) are so broken that they can’t reach people easily (nor sustainably) that way. That goes for everyone from journalists to food bloggers. So which platform are you gonna use? Google, where your results are AI generated or sponsored garbage you can barely trust or that it’s hard to parse, or TikTok, where sure there’s some sponsored stuff but it clearly says when it is (bc legally, influencers HAVE to), and there’s a person’s face giving you advice?

It’s a similar principle to why Reddit has always been a better place for answers when searching than whatever you find on Google - you have real people (or at least the semblance of real people) giving you personal advice, that is informally peer reviewed through comments, thread replies, etc.

5) As we know, Gen Z and younger are not being taught computing skills. I’m a millennial. I was TAUGHT how to use a search engine. I was TAUGHT how to use a database. Many younger people, now even adults, were not only not taught because older generations assumed they’d just pick it up, but the platforms and devices they grew up using actively DISCOURAGE developing the skills to figure it out.

By the sheer fact that I am a millennial who grew up with a new device and platform almost every year, my brain is wired to figure out change with technology. But a lot of younger people grew up with the same platforms, now firmly entrenched, that do not want the user to leave to use google or click a link to someone’s website, because that’s less ad revenue, so they’ve created user interfaces and experiences that discourage leaving the platform, and discourage creators from leading people off of it for additional info.

Schools in a lot of countries, especially the US where they are underfunded, are leaning on tablets instead of full computers, where your only access to the internet is limited to curated app experiences, and discouraged from exploration on the wider internet because it is “bad and unsafe.” If you’re actively prevented from Googling, or never taught, or have apps that provide the info instead, why would you ever do it? How would you learn?

This is not to say that TikTok is good or perfect or the things found there are always accurate or people aren’t responsible for their own ongoing education sometimes. But we shouldn’t be surprised at any of this. It wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if all of this wasn’t to sell us more shit, either. But it’s always to sell us more shit - whether on Google or Tiktok.

Also this is ironic given the original post is a screenshot of a tweet from Pop Base, an engagement farm account that basically steals headlines from real outlets and takes all the engagement, not linking to any original reporting or even the source sometimes. It’s literally a part of what created this problem.

[ID: A tweet by Popbase that reads, "Nearly half of Gen Z is using TikTok and Instagram as a search engine instead of Google, new data shows.". Below the tweet is a pic of a poorly drawn Goomba from Super Mario Bros with text below him that reads "are you out of your fucking mind".]

🩷🩷🩷 yeah most of my classes r abt japan or east asia since thats my 'major' (? idt we rlly have majors in my country tbh but ig thats like the closest equivalent to it ?) n so far the one i look the most forward to r japanese media/cinema n japanese art history :D n also from my second yr i can study korean too which is literally the only reason i picked this uni in the first place 😭 my main goal is to switch courses to the korea-focused one instead of the japanese one next yr bc the only reason im not starting off with that is there was wayyy less places available n i didnt make the cut 🥲 im still reallyyy excited tho n i might just stay in this course if i like it lol

[elaichoi]

PLSDJJIDS I WAS THE OPPOSITE like i didnt wanna pay money but also like i had to have it to reach my fullest potential 👹👹👺

yes exactly i burnt out big time OTL cheers to being *less* mentally ill in the near future ^3^

that's totally understandable,, from the way i see it a majority of the asian population that goes by undiagnosed is v large,, and i'm not basing this off of any actual studies though i know there are some out there- but rather just the role culture (at least in most east asian cultures is as far as i'm qualified to speak for lol) plays in mental health makes diagnosis and treatment,, idk and just going by undiagnosed makes me sad that there are ppl who think this is the norm and that it's something you are expected to get over bc it's something "everyone goes thru" :( i very much relate on the front of gaslighting urself/being gaslit into thinking u just can't handle struggles that "everyone else manages to manage well" n that rlly sucks im sorry beb </3

DAMN LOL we r on the same boat on the same river 🥲 my little tiny snowball also started out w family problems and oh my god my mental health has come out of its hiding >o< i remember my counselor describing it as an unvented pressure cooker lmao

don't answer if you don't wanna, but do you still feel that way in the sense of repressing ur emotions? like refusing to acknowledge it ? i think i was like that for a small period of time but now im like the complete opposite which is like half miserable half not lmfaoo i will forever be the biggest advocate for anyone getting therapy even if u think u don't need it,,, but!! i also know its a big step and may not be accessible for some :<

no yeah cus i feel so gross and overwhelmed and like not in control of things and so ill start spiraling if i dont get up and take a shower ^_^

not throwing pity confetti in your face, just as someone who can relate at least in some ways, big kudos to u for having so much patience to put up w everything bc it must b very hard not to lose ur marbles all the time,,,, standing w u solider 🫡

OH TRUE I FORGOT AB THAT UGH BARF i remember ig always fucked up my video quality saur bad even after rendering n shit T_T

aaa goodluck bae<3 hehe yeah i always rlly want to after seeing so many pretty edits jdksdkf i might i might we shall see :>

STOPITNFSISD I WISH I COULD INSERT A REACTION PIC BC UR RIZZ GAME I HAVE NO WORDS HAHSDJJJ

mental health is such a fuck up like it's like a ticking bomb the way it can go off at any point of life and the urge to ghost everyone, im so ashamed fr

yeah like most of asian countries i feel like. in our culture mental health is seen as something that is seen interjected with "adulting" like when you grow up you're supposed to feel like this and it's your duty to like make peace with it and if you try to seek help for it your family members kinda take it like a failure like you couldnt even deal with this? there's just a whole lot of stigma surrounding it and on top of that, therapy not being that widely available in south asia is a huge problem.

bro pressure cooker, im glad to know you're actually very up front with your feelings now. it's always better than bottling them up, at least you don't feel like a stranger to yourself either, my issues make me feel like an imposter within myself like it's hard to distinguish between things that I feel like I'm making up and the other things that's fucking me up.

YOU ARE SO NICE I AM WITH YOU TOO MY SOLDIER ILY!!!!

lmao ngl I was like those scenario and concept editors right I would have continued to edit bc my edits were like THSIE most beautiful scenes in kpop mvs but I stopped bc the resolution was ASSS THAT TOO WHITE ASSS!!!!!

OMG i wonder how i rizzed u up 😩😩😩😩

[appreciatingtokrev]

that's true, i just keep reminding myself that nothing last forever but i am a bit sad about the ending. do you normally go to an art museum? ah, i suppose life is full of surprises, you never know what is around the corner. that's great, it's better to see things as the cup half full than empty.

i think gi will still be the company's most successful game. do you just stick to PC games then? isn't hsr the only one whose have a voice for the MC? i'm always phone based so i'm lost with the letters lol. wait, you can play it in class? 👀

don't worry, quite a few people retake a year no matter what country they are in so you're not the only one and i understand retaking a year more than once can be a bit demotivating but you can get through this.

just try not to beat yourself up about it, you are trying your best. yes, extra time to re-evaluate some options, would you like to goes into the STEMs? or another field?

i can imagine lmao, some kpop fans are too extreme though where they end up becoming saesangs. which kpop group did she introduce you to? i am an ex-kpop fan so i no longer know about the current groups.

those earrings would stand out wherever you would go especially since they are gold coloured lol. i have actually seen some shorts on YouTube of users styling their wigs and it's look like a profession because of how hard it look 💀 i'm wondering you might find a 15th february person? who know lmao but birthday twin would be most exciting. our time zone difference seem to be one hour apart so we should be able to wish each other on our days? i'll probably come off anon when it happen 🙂

you can take another shirt that fit you properly and ask them to use the shirt for guidance or get proper measurements. i just scrolled up the sleeves for mine lol. it is only the sleeves and nothing too complex so i can't imagine it will be expensive.

yeah, of course. i feel the same whenever any of my friendships or relationships or whatever end bc at the end there was still a lot of love and care involved. i love going to art museums <3 i generally love art and museums lol. i visit a bunch of museums every year, usually with my father, my godmother or said friend i mentioned. so yeah ig i usually visit them?

agreed lol, i mean hi3rd was already big before genshin but genshin topped it off still. omg my phone literally only has 16gb of storage so i can’t play any games on there ajdkffjskaj meaning i very much stick to my laptop. hi3rd doesn’t have a mc the way gi/hsr do and kiana does have a voice plus gi’s mc is occasionally voiced (only during cutscenes i think?). the mc in hsr is definitley voiced a lot more tho. i mean... i shouldn’t be playing any video games in class..... but always work on our devices anyways....... and i’d much rather play hi3rd than do french in class... ajdkfjdjsk (i’m not a good example of a student ajdkgkksj)

aa ty :) i’m doing great in school rn bc it’s all topics i’ve had before at a different school haha and i hope it’ll stay like this for a while, but let’s see. i’m also in the process of getting meds for my adhd so hopefully i’ll be able to study easier sometime in the future. honestly idk what i wanna do later rn... psychology or biology, specifically marine biology maybe? i’d love to be a marine biologist, but i get sea sick :/ though at the moment i’m mostly leaning towards studying medicine so i can work in forensic medicine. but luckily i still have at least a year to decide.

yeah, the kpop fans... she mostly introduced me to stray kids. i’m not like a big kpop fan, but i do have a playlist with kpop songs i like bc of her lol.

aren’t they silver colored tho? i made mine in silver at least ajdkfkks. but yeah, agreed. yeah, wig styling does look difficult tbh 💀 but. i believe in myself. if i believe enough it’s got to work...

maybe, who knows. ohh no more anon z next february 16th :0 hehe, i’ll gladly wait until then :3

ahh i have no long-sleeved shirts that correctly fit me ajfjfjhsk the only ones i’ve got left are from when my parents made me buy them bc i dislike them and prefer oversized hoodies and stuff by a lot lol. thanks for the tip though

[vulgarmaw]

> 65k is NOT financial security at all, not even modest.

Because of this remark. I make 30k less and don't really have to worry about finances. Which is what financial security means. So making 65k would definitely have me still financially secure, and probably even more so.

So for YOU 65k is not financial security, but that isn't true for everyone. Acting like it is true for everyone is treating that like a universal experience.

I also described a similar situation, with equal pay, and someone having 3 kids. 30k more would definitely make that even better for their situation and definitely financially secure I'd say.

I mean nearly doubling your income would make most people breathe easier.

So saying that no one can live a modest level of life with financial security on 65k is wrong. I just named at least 2 people who could and there are definitely others.

I'm not trying to sound like I'm talking down to people. I'm saying that it's well above what some of us make. Not 10k above, well above. I was remarking that the statement that you couldn't buy a house with 65k was wrong, because you can.

Someone not wanting to live outside of a city or a more leftist area is totally understandable, and I'm glad that you can do that. Not all of us want to, could afford to, or even could because of responsibilities where we live.

Basically, and with absolutely no malice or anger, life already sucks for a lot of people and some of would love to make 65k. I understand that in your circumstances that's not a lot due to where you live as well as your health conditions. That being your circumstances is hard, I hope you catch a break.

For many of the parts of the country not living in a big city, 65k is a lot. That doesn't mean that we're living in destitution. It means that the cost of things varies by location.

Granted, I should have just assumed that the blanket statement was about people living where their objective truth is in fact true. That being said, people can go live in bumfuck nowhere and be financially secure on 65k.

Now, if you'll excuse me. I'm gonna go ahead and block everyone involved so I don't have to keep repeating things. Piss on the poor ass website. (this last one is intentionally antagonistic because I'm repeating myself and then explaining what I meant and then repeating myself again)

Remember kids, treating information that is true for you and people similar to you as something that must just be true is totally fine. So long as when you're confronted with someone telling you that's not true for them or people they know you take it with grace.

As I should have taken it with grace when I realized that I was arguing on the internet with people who are different enough that we would never truly agree.

Unfortunately I'm a petty bitch with a mouth.

Do better than me ig. I should have just ignored it and moved on.

i can't stop thinking about the results of that 65k income poll. i've spent my entire life straddling the poverty line so i understand feeling like even just another 10k would assuage my anxieties, but good fucking lord the ultra-wealthy are absolutely winning this class war if the economic policies they have influenced have convinced so many people that an income that can't even afford to own a home or raise a child is 'rich'.

i really, really hope the majority of those votes are from non-americans applying usd conversion rates to their own currency's purchasing power.

Bye, Butler

01/03/2023

wow. this one is gonna be a tough one to write without crying every 5 minutes.

you were my first real heartbreak...that I’m still trying to heal; it’s been over six months since that text and I still think about it and old memories every other day. 

I never thought I'd be in this position today when I finally decided to swipe right on that B- Hinge profile I saw pop up on my screen a little over a year ago. 

I’ve never been so stuck on how to write one of these posts. I don't really know where to start. As you can see I started some over the course of our relationship but never really finished them. The one I wrote for you to read REALLY hurt to see again. I was so vulnerable and it pains me to know that I never said any of these things to your face. Not that it would change anything that happened to us, but at least you would hear it. 

I saw a picture of you the other day. Orange PD came up on my IG FYP and I saw the stache in FULL EFFECT. It made me laugh bc it looked soooo cheesy. I miss your goofiness and all the stupid shit we would talk about. I always think about that FaceTime we were on when I was on the bus and we were literally just laughing for hours and not saying a freaking word. Everyone on the bus thought I was losing it...which they weren't wrong

You know what hurts the most? Knowing that there was nothing I could do to change the way you felt about me. I was telling everyone when it happened that I wish there was some epic cheating scandal or SOMETHING so that I can go on with my life just hating you, but I still care about you. And I still wonder why you could never see us together. It hurts so much fucking more knowing it didn't work out because you never felt the same way for me. 

It also fucking hurts realizing how I let you treat me. I blinded myself with only the good and pushed away how angry you made me at times. Never calling this like it was and always saying that I would be your girlfriend someday! Just not...yet. When I opened up to you about that coworker that took advantage of me and having you respond with legal solutions and how I shouldn't feel guilty because we weren't together. How you didn't watch the Halftime show. How I was finally coming to terms that this was over before I went out on tour and you said all these sweet things that made me want to stay in it... How right before I left to Europe I was set on not hanging out with you and just wanted to pick up my charger, but you convinced me to get ice cream with you; our last little date. How you kept saying how pretty I looked and kissing me... knowing damn well your heart wasn't in it. 

and yet even with all that I still add music to that playlist I started when we were in Tahoe...hoping that maybe one day you’ll notice it. I also FINALLY understand your comment about country music and road trips; they just go together.  Also guilty of using your Disney plus account just to fuck up the spots where you left off watching a show and to throw off your recommended by watching Hamilton and other random shit... you're welcome! 

When I came home from tour I walked down to the Sierra Madre park that we walked through with that little story they had on the walkway and I started crying. The other day I walked by it and it made me smile. 

This may sound like I’m still a hot mess (I always will be), but I am actually doing a lot better than I was 6 months ago.. every day gets easier; unfortunately there are nights like tonight where it's hitting me hard. 

Zoe reminds me of you. About when we would talk about a house with a Golden Retriever in the yard. She is such a goofball, but can be little miss stubborn when she wants to. And she's super smart! You would be in love with her. She sleeps in the spot that you used to. 

This is the last time I’ll write anything about you. I need to stop living in the past and move on to acceptance. I don't think I will ever forgive you for the way you handled the break up; such a fucking pussy move. But what I CAN do is reminisce sometimes of the good and bad times and use that as a reminder that I deserve so much more than what you gave me. I need to value myself and my time and not let someone take advantage of that. 

One day I’ll read this post and laugh like I do with all the older ones on here, or maybe this will have a soft spot on my heart forever... only time will tell. Goodbye Zachariah Butler; you nerd. 

[sashi-ya]

Sashiii i freaking love this mini event. May i please request: Law making you drink lots of water until your bladder is full and not letting you go to the bathroom, forcing you to let go on his lap. To make it even more harder he placed a vibrator inside of you with his cock and another on on ur clit and he is also pressing down on your bladder making you watch yourself fall apart in the mirror in front of you. In the end he gives u the most euphoric orgasm and piss you’ve ever experience in your life.

Hi baby!! this is a super interesting request! I tried to write as hot as I can so I really hope you like and enjoy it!! Thank you for requesting! 💖

Like this event? masterlist ~

“Drink it all up, (Name)-ya” “But… I’m already full, Law” “Do I have to remind you you’ve lost your bet? Drink or I’ll force you to do so”

Your cheeks are on fire, you were so sure of your patient’s diagnosis you even bet your colleague about it. But you should’ve thought about it better… your competitor was no other than the best doctor you have ever met in your whole life; Dr. Trafalgar Law. And of course, to spice things up the things, Dr. Trafalgar Law is your lover…

“He has Mucosal Leishmaniasis, Law. The guy has been out of the country recently. I bet you I’m right” you tell him, so sure of your discovery. It was obvious, the guy has been working as a volunteer in a rural zone in Peru and has been bitten by bloodsucking insects there. There is no way that’s not Leishmaniasis. Plus have you seen his IgE count? And the eosinophilia? Come on, that’s a parasite.

But Law, who is more of the pathological diagnosis - besides surgery, he really loves the microscope- insisted this had nothing to do with an infectious disease. “That’s not Leishmaniasis, babe. That’s Wegener’s Granulomatosis, he has had this since forever. The IgE and the eosinophilia comes from his asthma record. But let’s play until we confirm there is not Leishmania on the fucking nasal secretions. What you wanna bet?”

“Ask whatever you want, because I know I’m right”

“Good, then you will comply to a fantasy I’ve always wanted to try but never told you about”

Deal…

The many tests to confirm your diagnosis came back negative, the IIF didn’t show the disgusting mini parasite, nor even the specific test they ran for Leishmania. And instead, there was no doubt under the microscope’s lens that Law was absolutely right… The histological diagnosis of the several biopsies showed it was, indeed, Granulomatosis…

His smirk grows bigger while reading out loud the results. As always, Law enjoys giving you a sexy side look to confirm your embarrassment and annoyance. “Told you” he sings in victory.

“Shut up, asshole”

The day went by pretty fast from then on, thankfully. Both were frankly exhausted and were hoping to get in bed as soon as possible. Of course you two -or at least you- forgot about the bet and work got you really busy to even think about it. But the night came and with it, the ending of the shift.

You enter Law’s office dragging yourself in as the last surgery had been exhausting. “Hi” you moan, throwing yourself to his lap. “Give me love, I’m tired” you purr, burying your face on his leg. “You want love? There is a bet you have to fulfil, don’t you remember?”

Suddenly the memory of him telling you his conditions for the bet comes to your mind… “a fantasy I’ve always wanted to try but never told you about”. At this point you could say you knew him fully, but apparently there is always one more secret with him…

“The hell you want me to do, baby?” you ask, sitting over his lap and passing your arms around his neck. “Heh…” he smirks, apparently what he wants to do excites him a lot more than anything before, and you can feel it under your thighs as he gets instantly hard. “Oh… OH, Law” you giggle, kissing his neck.

Law comes closer to your ear, grazing your cheek with his goatee. “Would you let me have full control of you, (Name)-ya?” he asks with a husky, low, sexy voice that makes you squirm in place.

“I’ll do anything you want, babe”.

“Good girl, let’s go home now. I can’t wait~”

As always before leaving the hospital, Law buys you two a tall cappuccino. But this time he specifically asked for a Venti under your name. “Why so big?” you ask, not worried, just curious. “You will have to drink it all, ok?” he says, smiling while fixing his grey crystalline eyes on the road ahead. “O-Ok” you accept, not taking it all too seriously, and rather imagining it is because he wants you to have more energy for what he has prepared.

As soon as you get home, you take your jacket off and run -try- to the bathroom, but Law won’t let you. He grabs your hand and snatches back. “Oi, babe. Gotta go to the bathroom, give me a sec” you tell him, amazed by how needy looked now.

“Did I tell you you can go?” he asks, frowning, squeezing your wrist with those tattooed fingers. “Well no, but… I wanna go to the bathroom. I will be back quickly, wait for me” you tell him, clueless. You are supposed to let him control you, but never imagine you had to ask for him to let you go pee.

“Then you don’t go” he states, a dark aura surrounding his intentions. “But… I’ve been holding it just to not go to the hospital’s bathroom! You know I prefer coming here” you protest, annoyed but sure he is simply acting like a dom. “You said yes to doing everything I say and letting me control you. You are not allowed to go to the toilet until I say so” he claims his dominance over you, and it is true you told him yes. But, this?

You sigh, feeling the stinging pressure of your bladder crying for help. The cappuccino didn’t help either, in fact it made it worse. Caffeine is known to make you even more desperate. “Fine… but hurry up, I’m peeing myself here” you moan, rolling back your eyes.

Law smirks and brings you closer to his body. He hugs you from behind, arms around your waist, his hard sex against the small of your back. “Are you? Heh, Interesting… Kitchen. now” he orders, with a subtle exhilarated trembling on his voice.

He lets go, and you follow his order. A mix in between discomfort and a heat growing on your core makes you a little dizzy. “So, here we are” you tell him, sitting quickly on one of your benches. To be able to hold your desperate need for a bath it is always better to sit down.

“Are you thirsty, (Name)-ya?” he asks, leaving his yellow backpack over the table. You look at him, even more confused than before. “Uhh… I want to…” you mumble, but you know it is inane to say so. You watch him pour a tall glass -those you two use to make smoothies every morning- and fill it up with cold water.

He puts the glass next to your elbow that’s resting on the breakfast table. “Go on, dig in” he orders. “But…” you protest because you would prefer not to fucking fill your bladder a single drop more. But you comply, you don’t really want Law to mock you by your lack of diagnosis skills.

It feels refreshing, but at the same time painful. Crossing your legs, you drink up until the last drop. “Done, can I go now?” you ask, humping over your seat. “You bet… you still have to drink more” he mumbles, serving you yet another cup of water.

“I’m gonna get water intoxicated, Law. You are a doctor you know we can’t abuse. I’m not thirsty anymore” you tell him, now serious and pressing your crotch with your hands.

He laughs, sadistically. A laugh you have rarely listened to from him, that both sends shivers down your spine and turns you… on? It is undeniable that Law being a dom gets you extremely aroused, but now he is playing with your… organs? Damn man, if he were to be a character in an anime series, he would be for sure that type of mad doctor that cuts and stitches limbs of animals to people… who are you dating?!

“Drink it all up, (Name)-ya”

“But… I’m already full, Law”

“Do I have to remind you you’ve lost your bet? Drink or I’ll force you to do so”

And yet indeed you comply, drinking a whole new full glass of liquids. You felt like exploding, if you dared to move chances are you would lose control of yourself right there. But Law, enjoying it way too much, decides that the next part of his games should be accomplished in your room. “Come on, let’s go” he says and lifts you up.

Law carries you in arms, and as he walks, he presses your belly down. “Look at the bulge! you have quite a good resistance huh?” he laughs, mocking you with your desperation. “WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT, LAW?” you ask, almost screaming at this point.

“Welcome to my hidden kink” he mumbles and puts you on the bed. “L-Law what the hell is this kink about?” you ask, feeling little leaks running through your legs. “I’m gonna ruin our bed, you idiot! Let me pass!” you cry, trying to walk to your bathroom but failing miserably.

Law has snatched you from your belly and now you are sitting over his lap. Your back over his chest, his hands around your waist. “Where do you think you are going?” he asks, kissing your neck. It is undeniable the way this whole situation despite being weird is making you aroused, hella aroused. It feels sensational and degrading, the pressure of your bladder on your core, the desperation, the way Law has full control of your physiological functions, the way he is getting hard to the point you can even see his pants get a little wet stain from precum.

“Please, Law. I’m desperate, I really need to pee. Let me go” you beg, tears on the corner of your eyes. “You aren’t allowed to do so. Go right here. On my lap” he says, panting, and you could actually swear you could feel his heart violently pumping as you press your back to his chest.

You squirm, feeling his rock hard member throbbing in between your ass cheeks as your leggings gets a little wet. “I won’t piss in your lap, what the hell?” you say, even if your mind begged for you to let go… ‘maybe… I do?’

“Fine, then you will be forced to do so… remember you gave me full permission to do everything I wanted with you…” he whispers, pressing your belly all of a sudden. “Fuck, Law!” you cry, feeling your panties slowly get wetter but forcing yourself to hold as much as you could.

Law makes you stand up, yet he never stops holding you for you not to escape. He lowers your leggings, brutally. Not even taking them off fully, just enough to uncover your sex. “Sit down” he commands, forcing you to land again over his lap.

The surgeon passes his hand up and down your core, feeling the mixed wetness of your pink panties and makes you spread your thighs. “Look at you, look how messed up you already are. See that wet spot on your panties? Let’s make it bigger” he whispers in your ear, sometimes biting your earlobe and grunting. “Don’t say you don’t like this, you can’t stop grazing yourself against me” he continues. “The mirror there was an amazing idea… but you know what else is? The fact you have your vibrators so close to our bed”

You gasp. As this isn’t enough torture, he is planning to use your dildos in you? “Law, don’t… if you do that… I would…”. “You would lose control, that’s exactly what I want”.

You damned the day you went with Law to buy those pink instruments of pleasure… Your torturing boyfriend sticks the little vibrating bullet inside you, and the wand… the wand over your clit. Tears running through your cheeks, salty rivers of desperation that Law licks as he lifts you a little up to lower the zipper of his jeans.

“Wanna know what else I wanna do now?” he asks, looking straight to your eyes in the reflection. He is even blushed from the ecstasy of controlling your bladder and your whole being. “W-what… Law… I can’t hold it anymore” you can barely pronounce.

“Even better, then” he mumbles, with the perverse smirk you've ever seen. And just when he says so, the million stings of pleasure the vibrators and the pressure were giving you now got multiplied… because his dick was right inside of you.

“Do it, it is an order”

“No…” you cry, feeling you are about to lose control of more than your bladder.

“Fine” he laughs, and pressing brutally your belly down, giving you the last thrusts, you come allowing yourself to finally let go. Law sticks his dick out and comes as you bathe his shaft and lap with your releasing pressure.

Everything gets wet, the bed, the carpet, his clothes, yours…

…

“Fuck you, Law… why didn’t you tell me you were into this?” you ask, while resting the back of your head over his shoulder. “Sorry, but I thought that if it was a surprise, you would like it better… thank you” he mumbles, a little embarrassed. “I don’t even know if this kink has a name, but I loved it. And I love you…”

“I love you too, thank you again”

“Yeah, now help me with the cleaning, would you?”

“NAH…”

“LAW!!!”

Hey guys... I just wanted to share something....

• MY VM DISCOVERY •

Today one month ago (22.2.22) i discovered VM via this video on Instagram.....

[ A MASTERPIECE ]

https://www.instagram.com/reel/CaQ_2VgpzpJ/?utm_medium=share_sheet

And my life changed forever....

I didn't know the people i was watching in that video. And yet i was completely blown away with that increadible moment....

HE HUGHED HER LIKE SHE WAS THE AIR HE BREATHED.....

if someone hugged me liked i would literally pass out ... I was so hooked ...i wanted to know about them....

So i read through the comments and directly went to youtube to watch the performance !!! And the FIRST ever VM performance I saw was of course.... Moulin rouge !

Interesting how m doing everything backwards

I never knew about ice skating since we don't have it in our country....so when I first saw MR i didn't think much about that performance.. yet i was fascinated by TESSA AND SCOTT

SO i kept going....one by one....each performance, each interview....i watched them for 20 hours straight that day !!!

And i haven't really done anything else since !!! Lol i have been in VM RABBIT HOLE FOR A WHOLE MONTH...(sounds pathetic I Know.. )

(It's also because I'm stuck on bed after an accident and i have nothing else to do ) ... :(

Slowly i started to understand ice dance and it's world ....and it didn't take me long to realise the brilliance of VM

And now i have watched that MR routine like a 1000 times ...not even kidding... there's a reason why they're the greatest ice dancers of all time

Because no one ...i repeat no one is at their level...there will be new champions, new records , new techniques...but there won't be another VIRTUEMIOR..... BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO ENCHANT AND CAPTIVATE THE AUDIENCE...and it's because they do it for themselves...not for the audience...that's the most special thing about them....they do it for that CONNECTION, THAT FEELING...

I have never seen that kind of love , passion, dedication and selflessness before....their pure connection made me feel something...

Something I have only seen in movies ...and they're still better than that..

At first obviously like any other fan i wanted them to be together (still do) but I'm trying to make my peace with it

I know they'll always love each other... they'll always be a part of each other... THEY'LL ALWAYS BE SOULMATES

anyways idk where I'm going with this...ig I'm just overwhelmed rn

Because these guys changed my life.... My perspective..my expectations....(kinda ruined it too coz they have created impossible standards 😂)

Lately i feel like... if i even get to feel 1% of that connection with someone... it'll be more than enough..

Not everyone has a Tessa or a SCOTT...

they mean so much to me...as atheltes, as performers, as artists, and most importantly as HUMANS

They'll always have a place in my HEART ❤️

I'll always be obsessed with them

I'm so grateful I saw that video on insta and chose to dig deeper....

Huh...
