#bc supportive family 👌👌👌

[unclefathersantateddy]

Seeing the responses to @drawthethingdoppelganger 's cannibal arc poll, has definitely helped me improve the fresh meat lore. It's giving creative juices lol! I'm gonna use the community's Quality Standards to up the freshmeat au content quality!

Some of the most prevalent ideas I've seen:

Keeping the Family Love integrity before all else. Bob loves his family, the family loves each other SO MUCH no matter what. Nothing gets in the way of that, not the human meat, not the back alley business, nada.

The family remain expressive and musical. This one I'm excited to play around with, I have ideas that Bob wasn't rly a singer to begin with, but between Linda, Gene, and the general Sweeney Todd vibe, he gets into it, REALLY into it. They all do (even Louis/e). Many of you said you loved the contrast of the dark themes but with family/love- oriented songs!

Finding a healthy balance for the arc. Many of you said you didn't care for the "being edgy for edge sake" element of the cannibal arc, and I would agree with that! I've seen some fresh meat posts of Gene wanting to EAT Alex?? This isn't an idea I'll be rolling with. For me it's a bit cheap and crass like "ah the cannibal is so obsessed with eating humans so much that he wants to eat his best friend". Not really a plot, y'know? So I'll be working on creating a more nuanced Dietary framework to prevent the au from being kitsch or tasteless! If any cannibal wants to eat a person there will be actual reasoning for it, not just because these characters are associated in canon.

Painting healthy relationships besides the toxic. Many of you said you still want the Belchers to have loved ones (family/friends) despite their cannibalism, and I LOVE this idea!! Whilst I do like to add a toxic touch to this au, I also don't want to pigeon-hole ANY character. I'd like to keep each individual fluid and organic, opposed to one-dimensional. (E.g. Courtney may still have an on/off dynamic with Gene despite the cannibalism - does she know? Does she not? Does she even care???)

I started neglecting the fresh meat au bc it started to feel stale, but seeing DT's post has really helped me want to dive back into it!! Very exciting times AAAAAAA!!!

However, I'm not a Writer™ (I can write scientific journals, but not English Fiction) therefore, if any fanfic writer would like to help me flesh out my ideas (pun not intended) that'd be greatly appreciated!!

I'd like to write more on FM!teddy but my experience as a plus-size person was not a healthy/supported one, therefore idk how to write a fat character in a healthy /non-fatphobic way as that was never the experience I received. Therefore, if there are any plus-sized users that would like to help me write a healthy, loved, non-fatphobic, fat character (starting that Good fat representation), please msg me!

A small thanks to DT for posting the primo content😩👌 they always come thru with the good shit

More headcanons on Mongol Empire-Post Mongol Empire era:

I LOVE depicting Mongolia as a father and grandpa of many offpsring, and he did have many. So there were Golden Horde/Jochid Ulus (which was actually a combined force of Blue Horde and White Horde given to Jochi’s sons Batu and Orda, because Jochi died before Golden Horde was consolidated), Chagatai Khanate (of Chagatayids), Ilkhanate (of Hulagu), and Yuan (of Kublai). Now, rather than going with ‘Mongolia = Yuan’ like I used to, I decided to give Yuan its own personification. Why tho? For one, while Yuan’s territory did comprise of Mongolia proper and Kublai as its founder presented his state as core Mongol Empire (or, simply Mongol Empire) with his grandfather Chinggis Khan as its founder, sketchy things surrounded Kublai’s ascension as a Khagan; he was enthroned during a quriltai that was held not in Karakorum but in his own city Kaiping (in China), and it was without the votes of all four Chinggisid branches who at the time supported Kublai’s youngest brother Ariq Boke as a Khagan. All of this made his ascension illegal. What’s more, Kublai who was pretty much an usurper proclaimed himself as a ruler in a distinctly Chinese style and Yuan dynasty was established with all the legitimacy of a Chinese dynasty. Yuan therefore looked more like a breakaway/successor state just like the other Khanates than simply a continuation of the Mongol Empire that Chinggis Khan built. It stands to reason for me that I should make a distinction between Yuan and Mongolia then, since Mongolia the dude in my head represents the core of Mongols so he should be purely Mongolian with pure Mongol/nomadic characteristics. For legitimacy with the Mongolian side, Yuan would latch onto Mongolia and they would rule both China and Mongolia together. The link below is an interesting read of which I based my theory off on the separation between personifications of Mongolia and Yuan dynasty:

Besides, I just want funny family moments between Mongolia and his kids and grandkids, and the more the merrier!!

Golden Horde is a Hater and he’s so valid for it. He hates people and nothing he likes more than going to his mancave (of wide steppe) and ignoring all other kinds of existence including his own siblings by Mongolia, though he of course is loyal to his princes and princesses and would do everything for them. His rivalry with Chagatai (Khanate) reflects Jochi’s with Chagatai. Also despises Ilkhanate bc they have feuds over territories and trades. Only slightly more okay with Yuan bc Yuan is really far away and cannot bother him much though he still doesn’t want to acknowledge him because why should he. Perpetual virgin until he met chaotic deranged dumbass Timurid. Anyway, he’s a child between Mongolia and Polovtsy/Qipchak. The Polovtsy were Turkic nomads whom the Jochids subjugated and entered into their ranks (or got scattered all over the area as they fled the Mongols). They had a confederate before the Mongols came.

Mongolia: “Horde, now be good and have dinner together with me and your brothers!”

Horde: “Fuck you all now let me go back to my mancave.”

Mongolia: *spanks Horde*

Maybe I should give Blue Horde and White Horde personifications too and they are the ones who do the actual ruling while the most Golden Horde does is frolicking around, bullying little hare Russia, or being fussed over by his princesses. Anyway, they love to braid his long hair like a maiden and put beads and rings on it.

Russia sometimes mistakes Horde as a Mongol Princess because of it and Horde is so NOT amused. Cue Horde chasing Russia around.

Russia and Horde coincidentally bond over not liking studying and reading, and as kids they were illiterate. Their princes/advisors were this 👌 close to giving up teaching them to read. Horde says he’s an all powerful warrior of the steppe and he already has everything he wants and needs so why should he even study?? Meh.

At some point Horde also tried to shoot Russia’s cat because he was curious if it tasted good and that was the first time Russia smacked him. Horde was secretly impressed because apparently little hare could pack up a good punch.

Chagatai is rivals with Horde and he’s salty because his desire to make daddy Mongolia happy by besting that fucker-with-his illegitimate-Khans Horde results in Mongolia disinheriting their respective khans from the throne of Khagan altogether through Chinggis Khan. Eventually, Chagatai becomes estranged much like Horde did. His personality is serious and ruthless to a fault. Chagatai is a child of Mongolia and Qara-Khitai, who was a Khitan-ruled state in Central Asia. Khitans were a nomadic group related to Mongols as they were all similarly descended from Xianbei. Qara-Khitai however wasn’t purely Khitan because most of its subjects were Central Asian Turco-Persian Muslims under Karakhanids who then became vassal to the Khitans. Therefore by characteristics Chagatai was very much Central Asian and not Khitan… maybe Karakhanid was his actual second dad? Only Mongolia knows.

Ilkhanate is the child of Mongolia and Khwarazmian Empire (another Turco-Persian state, also both Karakhanid and Khwarezmia were descendants of Gokturks). His relationship to Mongolia is second to best, but even in time he’s more concerned with his own gains than being a filial son to Mongolia. He’s an excitable dude who’s also a wildman.

Yuan (Monchu love(hate)child) is possibly Mongolia’s favorite kid because he’s best behaved to him (including paying homage to him unlike his other hopeless brats). Has an ultra high self esteem because he’s most favored by Mongolia and because he lords over the mighty China. Lots wholesome moments between daddy Mongolia and Yuan with China totally NOT having a good time.

Yuan: “I am Great Yuan, bow down to me and my Father!!”

Horde, Chagatai, Ilkhanate: *leave*

Yuan: “No, come back here!!!!”

Except for China, Mongolia obliterated his kids’ second dads they are no more 💔 maybe he tried to do that to China too (like with Song whom Kublai subjugated) but too bad for him, China is eternal.

Yes, basically the other dads of Mongolia’s brats were the countries he subjugated and took over. He killed their personifications and gave the territories to his own.

I decided to not make Timurid a direct descendant of Mongolia, however he kinda larps as Mongol Empire following Tamerlane’s massive ambition (lol good luck). He also got important territory off Chagatai and he did it by cannibalizing parts of him (!!!). Timurid is a simpleton brute with singleminded focus who’s also a poet of many vulgar poems depicting his lover Horde. Also, I guess by the time Moghulistan happened there would be another personification in place (which means Chagatai would be dead by then) but idk yet.

Initially Horde and Timurid had it SO good but Horde had to betray him following the orders of his prince Tokhtamysh, and it made Timurid so livid he got batshit insane as if possessed. He chased after Horde and burnt his important cities when he couldn’t find him, further weakening Horde when he was already weakened from civil war and conflicts. They met one last time shortly before Horde’s death, though Horde’s death wasn’t actually by Timurid’s hands.

Mongolia finds it quite tragic that he lives on while his kids and many descendants couldn’t, but such is fate. He wouldn’t actually want to switch places with them tho (for nationverses, only one’s own survival really matters), but it would be nice to have his large family around him. He would love having his dining table brimming full with his offspring and relatives during Tsagaan Sar. Mongolia misses them sometimes even though their relationship wasn’t always so good.

Mongolia himself isn’t always a good father, and while he’s pretty attentive to his kids (the ones he had in the past or the ones he has had pretty recently) he’s an emotionally independent person and likes to encourage his brats to be independent sooner. Therefore, sometimes he can be quite neglectful, and it is even more the case these days though part of it is because he himself cannot support them much in many ways. Not saying he’s a 100% chill parent though, because like any kind of patriarch he expects and could demand proper filial piety from his brats, but these days perhaps following the pattern of chill urbanized fathers who are more of good friends to their kids than just reigning patriarchs, Mongolia is much more chill (in an egalitarian sense) with his remaining kids and relatives. Spanking your kids is bad, so he no longer does it.

Saw your posts talking about Time and Time Again and I just gotta say I LOVED that fic (I think I read it bc of you). The moment that really got me was the first attack from the fan and Karamatsu REALIZING that he was the reason he was still stuck in the loop. Reading him connecting the dots with the sudden ambulance showing up at Totoko's house...like FUCK dude holy shit!!! Good fic, good fic 👌

I loved seeing Karamatsu slowly put everything together and eventually arrive to the right answer of what he had to do! Man, that moment was CHILLING. Up until then it was just a mysterious time loop fic. Seeing Karamatsu realise that Totoko, his childhood friend, was in the ambulance... The STAKES. Like!!

And I mean, imagine what would've happened if Karamatsu had wished for something other than being a hero? The fact that his stupid wish both cursed him AND saved Totoko. Augh 💔

I just have such a huge soft spot for that fic. Seeing Karamatsu learn to use his brain and develop skills was great. The KaraToto friendship 🥺 And the instances where Karamatsu's family came through to support Kara! Such a good fic. Also, the attrocities.

(by the way! There's another AMAZING Karamatsu-centric fic that's CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED!! It's called Faster Asleep, the plot is about Karamatsu waking up, discovering he's a ghost / has died, and trying to figure out how it happened while pretending to be alive around his family. HURTS SO GOOD. the choukei already made me tear up once)

Since when did you start following football?

Since 2018 when the World Cup in Russia started

Favorite National Teams?

Croatia NT - because they achieved so much those past 5 years, yes I know they like to move games to penalties and play with our nerves, but I still feel like I am part of their family like other Croatia NT fans :)

Russia NT - because I simply like Russian people and I am half one, so I really fell in love with that team. They played so well during the WC in 2018 and during WC qualifiers. I was literally so miserable when I found out they will not be able to participate in Qatar

Serbia NT - idk I love them simply because they are our neighbours and I always love supporting my neighbours during EURO and WC

Who was your favorite player then and why?

(Wow wut a hard question I have asked myself) Livakovic obviously. I know he was being kept on a bench, but I always knew he would be a great goalkeeper, he is our number 1 and very important member of the National Team, yet I didn't post stuff about him at all because I didn't have Tumblr, I was a dumb kid lmfao- but yeah, I can talk about him 'till I die, so yeah I am moving to the next question before I go too far

Do you train football? If you don't, why?

Hell no I don't. First of all; I am very anti-social person (tho there is exclusion when it comes to going on matches I love rooting with other peeps), Second of all; I have very low self-esteem, Third of all; I wanted to be a goalkeeper, but I was always afraid to get goals bc people often get mad at me, fuck them

Favorite clubs?

Dinamo Zagreb - I've been following this club since 2018 after the end of WC in 2018 mainly because of Livi, I love that guy sm he is precious, but the love of this club has grown in 2021 because of its success in Europa League.

Man City - Kova plays in City and he is literally my 2nd fav football player, and one of my best friends roots for City so here we are 👌

Borussia Dortmund - Idk I just love them so much, their mascot is so cute, the club has gotten my hear for some reason 😭

Hi just wanna say first off that Tumbletta is 👌

I’ve been in a Lizadora mood as of late so I will blabber off info about her and some crossover w your Oc’s:

When Grizabella left, she sort of took over her duties as Old D’s mate. While she and Deut don’t love each other like that, Liz wasn’t about to let the Tribe go into shambles because Griz wasn’t there to organize certain things or help with the kittens. She also took over in mothering the Deuteronomy Brothers for the remainder of their childhoods, something that may have accidentally contributed to Macavity’s evil because he felt like everyone was forgetting about his real Mother super fast.

I feel like Munkustrap and Tugger definitely view Lizadora as a mother figure, they looked to her for support when Mac turned dark and they probably asked for her blessing alongside Old Deut’s when they found their mates.

Despite having some form of gigantism (Maine Coon genetics baby) and generally being very bulky, she’s nearly just as graceful as other Jellicles. She’s usually at the bottom of the pyramid or the one to lift cats up, though.

She is absolutely in love with Hestia when Tugger and Misto bring her back. She always wanted a granddaughter to spoil, and you’d best believe she spoils Hestia and all the other grandkids rotten. All the kittens see Auntie Liz as a big playground because...she is, so she’s very popular for their roughhousing games and such.

I feel like Tumbles was initially terrified to face Lizadora when he and Hestia started courting, literally just because lady is massive and v protective of her fam. But nah she didn’t intimidate him or anything she just broke his back in a “welcome to the family!” Bear hug.

When Grizabella went to the heaviside layer, Lizadora was the last one sitting that night, just staring at the stars and hoping her sister finally got the happiness she wanted.

i'm CRYING liz my beloved <3

Hestia would ADORE her Auntie Liz, their size difference is making me emotional bc can you imagine???? big fluffy Liz with little tiny kitten Hestia tucked away in her fur?????

THANL YOU SO MUCH OMG IM HONOURED! OMG I WANNA GO TO GERMANY SO BAD😭 ❤️🇩🇪

AND PLEASE OMG ANY WORDS YOU WANNA KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE ASK ME! one of the best things about being british is our elite humour and our way with words. we have the best insults its great! it’s actually funny cus my accent is hardly noticeable im from a particularly small/just under average size city yet its ranked quite lowly in attractive accent lists (my accent is unatractive apparently) my city is also largely hated as its a shithole pretty much. apparently some kids were told if they dont behave their parents will send them to (insert my city name here) BUT ITS REALLY NOT THAT BAD THO 😭

BUT SERIOUSLY I LOVE THE BRITISH ENGLISH LANGUAGE SO MUCH I WILL GLADLY HELP YOU WITH WORD PRONUNCIATION

my step-mum is fluent german and almost fluent french and she says that german is her favourite language and she fully supports me in wanting to learn it. (it would 100% also help me in the future as i want to go down the historian path but specifically look at ww2) (also im hopefully gonna learn latin at school which will also help in becoming a historian) my favourite german word is the one you gained in world war 2 because of the destruction caused to my city in the blitz. 🥲

AND YES OMG GERMANY AND ENGLAND ARE TECHNICALLY LIKE ‘brothers’! because english and germany are actually germanic languages from the indo-european language family.

~🦈🇬🇧❤️🇩🇪

AAaAAAHHHHHH💕💕💕💕I SHOULD BE THE ONE THANKING U !!! If you need any help with German pronunciation as well, feel free to ask me anytime!!!! ❤❤❤

I need to re-read/listen English pronunciation books (mainly because i have to speak good English to get into the Universities i want to go), so if i have any problem pronouncing a particular word, i'll ask you!!! 🥰 I currently have trouble with several words rn, but i want to first re-read some things and practice pronunciation. If i still have problems with said words, i'll definitely tell you about it! 🤭🤭😚💝

Please know that if you ever need me to return the favour by helping you out with German pronunciation, i'm always here and absolutely glad to help you out!!! At your service 🧎‍♀️ (it's supposed to be on one knee but oh well) ❤

You know, my dad & i always enjoy watching WW2 documentaries because we're both German as hell! And we've seen several good docus on Amazon Prime & Netflix. I seriously don't remember the names of the documentaries and im not sure if they'll be available in UK, but maybe you can search some on those platforms, mostly on Amazon Prime, because I know they have good quality documentaries about WW2. Also, there's a YouTube british channel that talks about history, and has some documentaries about a certain moustache man, and WW2. I wanna say it's called 《History Hit》 but to be honest i think it's other channel similar to that...if i find it, i'll tell you the name!!!

And also, UK & Germany are like the best brothers ever and have a good history together!! Recently when the Queen died i saw on TikTok several videos of Germans in UK crying for the Queen and honestly it was quite an emotional moment 🥲 God I love UK so much and you guys are the best <333 I swear I follow a shit ton of British memes accounts on TikTok bc you all make me laugh so much and your humour??? Top notch 👌👌👌

Thx so so much for allowing me to ask you questions abt English💕💕🤧🤧🤧🤧

🇬🇧🤜🤛🇩🇪

[cosmicangst]

hi! May I ask u if you watch kdramas and if u have any favs? I honestly love reading your thoughts on games/series so I was really curious. Hope u have a great day💕

hi hi! yes i do! mostly on netflix and not a whole lot bc kdramas are a hefty investment and im a creature of habit who rewatches my old shows until im sick and desensitized 😌 no particular order here…

crash landing on you: baby’s first kdrama during the pandemic that really started it all for me and my mom. which made me appreciate it less as a show and more as a great bonding experience as she swoons over hyun bin and i swoon over son ye jin. im in the minority who likes the ending. it was a nice realistic touch that grounded the usual third act melodrama level of heightened emotions in kdramas

it’s okay to not be okay: idk what else hasn’t been said but the style, the artistry, the performances, the soundtrack, the family dynamics, how well the fairy tales serve as a thematic basis for each episode 👌👌👌 i love love the individual character developments more than the romance. sometimes they infantilized the heroine at the second half but she’s still one of my favorite kdrama characters

vincenzo: i can take or leave the romance but regardless the leads’ “this is my worse half” dynamic makes the show. their rapport w their plaza neighbors is also hilarious. vincenzo as a character is fun but too cool for me to be attached. cha young though belongs to my list of favorite kdrama characters (you can see a common theme here that im partial to female characters who are assertive w varying levels of unhinged and/or moral grayness)

her private life: fake dating’s not my absolute favorite but no one has topped the chemistry of these actors. the first time they kissed i felt like i needed to turn off the tv to give them privacy lmao what really sells their relationship is how obviously they’re delighted by each other, how they establish intimacy based on their work, and the fact that he loves fangirling over her fangirling. i wasn’t a fan of the third act twist but they still reign as the best romance here

age of youth: technically my first kdrama (i just didn’t finish the second season) and i invested heavily into the narrative when i watched as a college student. i can take or leave the romances but the friend group is unmatched and the only reason to watch. season one >>>> season two all the way

run on: the second couple are EVERYTHING. i didn’t fully appreciate during my first watch until i finished and learned that this kind of slice of life, slow paced and character-driven stuff is my vibe exactly. any time im doing chores i pull up a random ep in the bg bc it feels like im just casually doing parallel play w a friend

hotel del luna: love the premise, love the ending except for the very last moment, didn’t love the romance or the hero necessarily, but i love the heroine so much i couldn’t leave it out. her backstory and relationship with the not!second lead compelled me to finish and tbh they’re the emotional core of the whole thing

my liberation notes: my friend calls this a depression simulator kdrama 😂 but this had as much heart as a ghibli film to me. best part was the ensemble who had very real flaws and emotional relatability supported by a script w depth more human than pretentious. this rly was a show that you had to earn but when you did, it was well worth it

hometown cha cha cha: small town slice of life basically the ultimate comfort food kdrama 💖 save for like two eps each one hits so well. has the second best romance and the best ensemble here although it does dip too much in sentimentality for my taste at times. but it wouldn’t be what it is without it

special mention to cheese in the trap…which i didn’t finish lol so i can’t speak on the quality of that but lil closelyknit lore facts the webtoon it was based on featured in my blog for a good number of tumblr years some time ago

[bloggedanon]

🤔 Now I'm not OP obviously, so there's a strong likelyhood of me being wrong here for sure, but I think the major point of contention was the fact the newlywed's wording with the "I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else but you" sort of undercuts the idea that hanging around with friends or other associates (y'know, spendin' time with them and having laughs together and whatnot) somehow doesn't count as spending their life with them, or the implication that they'd want to spend their life with the other newlywed to the active exclusion of anyone else in their life who care about them, kinda? djwjdhjs (edit for cut bc length aaaa)

Or ofc the "favorite person" comment carrying the implication that the other people aren't favorites probably being considered offensive in the same way that people take offense to getting called acquaintances when they're nearby instead of "friends" (even if they do technically only qualify as acquaintences) or people considering the idea of having a favorite child if (you're a parent) to be rude. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I don't know if I'd quite call it high school mean girl behaviour, since it's not like it's actually considered such to call someone your best friend, but it's not unheard of for people to take offense at not being considered the best friend either tbf lmao, (because everyone wants to be The Special™ bc humans gotta human ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯) hence why a sizeable group of aromantics want to challenge the concept of relationship hierarchies alltogether to avoid that problem. 👌

Now, is it wrong to have certain relationships be more important or emotionally meaningful than others? Nah! People can't really control their feelings like that even if it was wrong, tbf. Are any of the implications of those wedding vows actually the thing that the person in question meant? Probably not, especially considering the person in question had to google how to do wedding vows lol. It's just generic navigation of ridiculous social conventions that life would be much simpler without imo, and it's pretty much guaranteed to not be half as deep as OP was reading it. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠��⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

However, given that a recurrent theme among a lot of aromantics is the feeling of abandonment brought on by people they care about drifting away from them like they were chopped liver in favor of romantic partners, and with the typical nuclear family model relegating people's entire support systems to their partners exclusively once they settle down (even without kids a lot of the time), I can't say that OP was wrong for feeling hurt by what reads exactly like a spoken admission of the same script playing out before their very eyes, either. 🤔 Ultimately, I don't think anyone's in the wrong so much as it is just emotions and relationships just naturally being messy and volatile tbh ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ djaksondka

I didn't mean for this to be a wall I'm just bad at words ignore m--

I went to someone's wedding yesterday who is very important to me. Her vows included things like, "I wouldn't want to spend my life with anyone else but you," and "you're my favorite person," and "I feel like we share a brain." I think these things were there almost exclusively because she googled how to write vows, but honestly, I found it pretty hurtful.

Like, the way spending your life with someone only counts if it's in a romantic relationship. The way it's not just okay, but expected for you to single someone out in front of all of your friends and family as your favorite of the bunch. In any other situation, that would be considered rude (high-school mean girl behavior).

The reality of the way we view romantic relationships as so much more than platonic relationships is just....inescapable at weddings.

[gotham--fc]

It cool we all be busy I have a ton of coursework to do and hockey stuff (got to play a beer leauge game at a proper full on arena the other day which was so cool! It’s like where the national team plays and we got to play there! Though the game was wild lmao, someone on the other team forgot how sticks work and lifted their stick up very fast when it was between my feet (ow, I take back anything bad I’ve said about Jills ), the jump from ice to benches was above the knee for me so I usually jumped with like a skate up and took myself on the bench a couple times 😂, and I screened the goalie a ton and they didn’t kill me (I thanked them for that at the end but they should have killed me )

Yeah the whole winter Olympics is boss, I have to pick a second country to support cause mine is in like 5 events but yeah , Canada has a good curling team I think ( I’d imagine y’all do)

Yeah like with my sticks I’m not switching, my skates recently have been a problem child (they’re rubbing against my feet painfully and I don’t think I can get it punched out) and would 100% be replaced rn if I could afford to 😂. Ooo how’s bowling going? U haven’t mentioned it but it sounds fun !

Yess I love bardown for post and in cause the ding noise is just 👌. I also like five hole just cause that’s where I score the most 😂 ooo good shot! Defo counts! They don’t know u were only going for the clear and tbh that makes it more impressive, you got that offensive awareness-you’re too good to be a forward u wanted to give the other defence a chance! Bet you would’ve got homers, and that sounds very painful we’re u ok after?

Aww noo that sucks😬 we haven’t got the same restrictions but a ton of games are getting postponed 😭 Kirky is the best he scored the most in the iihf mens top division in 2021 (which is impressive when u consider GB is not good and didn’t play past the the group stage- we last won a game in regulation in that level in 1962, before the Belarus game in 2021)😎😎

Ooo that’s soo cool he played in the ohl and you got his card that’s one major flex !!

My Christmas was good thanks I saw both sides of my family and I was the driver this year cause I can drive now which was cool cause I’d never had passengers before but also sad bc I couldn’t have alcohol (don’t need it to have fun (we also legal so it’s chill) but like we had some nice one😂) the food was boss pigs and blankets ftw (whoever decided to wrap bacon round mini sausages is a genius)

Aww noo the WJC was boss and I’m sad it got cancelled (Connor Bedard is amazing) but it made sense with all the forefitting, I don’t get why they couldn’t do a bubble or plan it better though. The iihf messed up there they should reschedule all thier stuff they cancelled. Weird opinion but they should send he WJC squads to the Olympics they do that in mens footy!

That’s good :) F for ur fantasy team, feel like I’m the opposite to u lol my NHL team is sucking rn and we have like 4 NHL players available to play, one of my fantasy teams is 3/10 so that’s good but the other has won 3 weeks out of 12 soo 😬. My phf team is 3rd but we got 2 in hand so it’s chill.

How was your new year? You played any of your sports recently? How are you doing in the whole covid stuff you locked down again?

.🏒🏒

Hey that’s cool for you! That’s one thing I’ll never get to experience with soccer is to get on or off the field it’s just a white line painted on the grass it’s the same every field 😂 I don’t think I could handle having to either step up or down on one rink vs leaping up or down on another 😂

I never watch curling normally but sometimes I’ll throw it on if there’s nothing to watch and get fully immersed in it, I tried curling once but I was really bad at it like really bad like our local curling club begs for members but I threw one stone and they were like maybe you should just go 😂

Oh yeah the worst are when my cleats start to go I don’t wanna get new cleats idc if they hurt my feet I’m not getting new ones

I haven’t bowled in forever, I used to be in a youth league growing up I won’t lie I was pretty good, I’d usually get high 100s/low 200s scores, I went to a lot of tournaments medaled a few times got a few trophies, I wasn’t the best I was good, I never like made it to nationals or provincials or anything like that but I enjoyed it, I haven’t played in forever because I had to leave the youth league at 18 and then I moved for school and then covid so I haven’t been bowling as often as I’ve wanted to but it was fun when I went a few weeks ago! I hurt my plant leg like crazy and was down for a few days after which was embarrassing, and I didn’t play great because it’s hard to bowl without bending your legs 😂 I only play 5 pin btw I don’t want to confuse anyone and make them think I play 10 pin no thanks I’m not that strong

Yeah I agree I like shots that just absolutely rip because they look cool but honestly any goal counts I’ll take anything 😂

Also I was fine I got hurt playing baseball a lot we played on a gravel field it wasn’t good for anyone, I was also just dramatic I’d cry like I broke my leg and then 5 minutes later I’d be fine and ask to get put back in, baseball is a bad sport for children our aim is awful I got plunked more often than I could count and even though we used the big softballs like they still hurt and it’s not like we wore batting gloves so when I would swing and hit the ball with my fingers instead of the bat 😬

Yeah we’re full lockdown basically now which sucks, I’ve already had one concert I had tickets for canceled I’m really just hoping the rest of the things I have tickets for in February don’t get cancelled too

But hell yeah mr kirky!! If he ever has a Zac Efron 17 again moment he can come back to the Pete’s for a couple more years okay?

Oh yeah I flex it all the time to people like anyone I meet who knows anything about hockey I’m like hey did you know my cousin used to play in the ohl 😂

Oh yeah I’ve been the driver to things for a couple of years, as soon as I got my license it was on me, the problem was my older siblings were the dd until someone else got their license but for me I’m the youngest so I don’t have an end point for my dd’ing but we’ve started to host parties more which means no dd for us because we don’t have to drive home after (also you can drink at 19 in Canada (18 in Quebec) so I’m not gonna be the person to shame you for what age you start drinking) oh yeah I love pigs in blankets they’re so good, but yeah bacon wrapped anything is phenomenal we had bacon wrapped scallops this year they were so good, my fav finger food (really food in general) is chicken wings I’d eat chicken wings daily honestly

Yeah exactly like the iihf is looking pretty stupid like why did they think they could do a tournament without bubbling like?? And I heard they’re rescheduling it for august which is fine, but feels like a slap in the face that they’ll reschedule the mens tourny even though they proved they still couldn’t do it safely but they’ll just straight up cancel the women’s tourny like it’s just frustrating but whatevs

Something so funny happened to me the other day, my prof was talking about what constitutes as a history paper and he was saying you can’t usually do sports history because it’s mostly sports trivia or stats not history (I don’t need to get into whether I agree with him or not) but then he said yeah you can’t really write a history page about why the Montreal Canadians are having a shitty season and I was like damn sir you’re right but you shouldn’t say it 😂

My new year was good, I’ve just been hanging out at home but I’m gonna move back for school soon but I’ve been having a good time, I haven’t been able to play any sports lately there’s not a lot of options in the winter because you know it snows here and I was thinking of joining intramurals at my school but with this whole covid lockdown they’ve cancelled everything again, so I guess I’ll have to wait until the summer and hopefully things have opened up by then, but yeah COVID’s been crazy here our numbers are just way up like we’re basically back to square one of lockdown again 🙄

Also I’m crazy disappointed that they cancelled the rest of the rivalry series! But I get why they did it but now we have to wait until the actual Olympics to see Canada play again

sending a wave of thoughts oops:

also weird: people saying you must support boc and you shouldn’t criticize them???? i am SORRY WHAT. imagine bootlocking a company????? LIKE????

They haven’t even done anything to prove themselves COMPETENT. They don’t communicate. They ignore. They deflect. They “distract.” They don’t promote or market (and being a new company or still learning the ropes does not count because you’re still a company and you hire people! You learn! You listen to your clients and in this case, the audience, the fans.)

niceness isn’t going to get BOC to listen (note: i am well aware that BOC doesn’t listen regardless what is done) but being loud actually gets … gasp people trending…..(it has done more for MA than anything BOC has done seemingly previously) isn’t that why their is a second event for MA with one of their sponsors lol (and M going i will start promoting myself more bc of the fans)

and like i don’t get people saying they are doing fine! people aren’t going to forget about the movie! etc etc etc

how do you think promotions WORK? MARKETING? they are doing nothing for the movie. the movie doesn’t even have a title!!!!!!!!!! they are not generating hype. they are not doing anything.

and why does this fandom insist on ot16, family, whatever. boc this is all your fault. no other fandom of tv shows are like that! half of the cast (most of the cast) had less than 15 minutes of screentime! i am going to sound mean but who cares about them! even if there’s a season 2…some of them are DEAD. like … popularity DOES matter in industries. it’s how fame, opportunities, etc go. i have never such a fandom get made at people for wanting their faves to have opportunities! etc!

people are going: how do you know they want that. etc etc

okay, the question for that response: how do you know they don’t? also………sponsors…ambassadors…..activities…schedules (they don’t even give these out but like ok!) helps with popularity and fame and etc.

boc retweeted trends, had a vote for BB award … the whole they don’t care about popularity thing…is very false! and double standards are in fact real for them.

MA fandom: shows proof BOC does not give the same attention as to the others cast members

those fans: makes graphs???? to prove what??? as people have said this is not a kpop Group!

MA are the main leads. etc etc etc!

and fine, i’ll play the ot16 agenda for a minute. if they were that focused on equality or whatever…then why aren’t others being booked for other tv shows/movies? like okay they have tweets! but what are they doing?

and lastly two more thoughts:

1) the absolute irony in people getting mad at MA fans and calling them toxic, etc when people have done the following: trended support for a misogynistic man, blame things on MA, continued to trend support and demand activities for that sake man, spread rumors, complain about the main ship screentime, complained about not having their faves screentime, i can keep going. all the things they have done and said lmaoooo

2) MA is the draw. it’s why they win things, it’s why they have the sponsorships, the fc’s, one of the larger fan bases, the acting, the chemistry, the personality. etc etc etc there is no denying that.

bonus: news flash @ the fandom. fans make the product. a company would be nothing without clients. a tv show is nothing without fans. it’s true!

if you read all this, congrats 👌

Keep going, anon! Are you in my head? It sounds like you are.

Everything you said is exactly how I feel. It's funny because someone told me I needed a psychologist for the stuff that goes on in my head because I said something along the same lines of this. That happened today. That was funny! That just goes to show you what kind of fandom we're truly in, which is why I can't wait until BOC proves me right and shoots themselves in the foot because they will.

All I know is this is that I'm fed up with everything at this point, and I'm getting really tired of feeling like I'm in the Twilight Zone. Every day I feel like I'm losing my mind and no one else sees the same shit I'm seeing. Except I know I'm not but the ability to be so ... removed, detached, and clueless to what's going on is baffling to me. I can't imagine living in that reality. I simply can't.

The MA movie has no title. The fandom knows about it, but what about the casual viewers who aren't apart of fandom? Do they know about the movie? Do they know anything about it? If the answer is no, then there's your answer in regards to how important marketing is. I think people forget there's a huge chunk of this viewing audience that's not online in this space. They're probably far more relaxed because they don't have to deal with all of this drama, but there's an entire demographic that you still have to notify and advise of this film project. Have BOC done that? What plans do they have to remedy that issue? What do they plan on doing to have MA market it? Are they going to send them to radio stations? Are they going to do more photoshoots? Are they going to do more appearances? You figure out these things out BEFORE you even drop the trailer for a film project. They should be able to answer all of those questions, but can they? Do you think they can answer those questions? I don't. You don't wait until the movie is really close to being released to start promoting and marketing it.

Honestly, I'm well past trying to get BOC's attention because they're not going to do anything about it. They will notice it but they're not going to do anything about it, and I rather not waste my time on something that's not going to yield any results. All I advise is for people to keep trending and promoting MA to their heart's desire. That's what I will tell you, because asking BOC to do what a production company is supposed to do will ultimately fail. I've noticed that people have a real issue with people who rock the boat and challenge the status quo; they're always called 'toxic' but those same people usually end up inciting change that benefits everyone, but you know ...

Pretty bored rn so Im gonna post my heroes teams

1.

I've had this team since I've started the game and the only change was that Sakura replaced Lissa

2.

When the gods and goddess were making them, they were like "they're missing something, make them gingers."

3.

I was fucking robbed from putting titty committee that's all I gotta say about this

4.

:3c I honestly don't know why I named it spice girls

5.

They were all gonna be s supported at one point only Shigure and Hector made it but then summer Camilla came out and how could I not support my favorite princess

6.

A family can be ur nephew, ur archer bf, urself and ur daughter (this team is super unbalanced but its working a lot better than my 3 Xander + Siegbert team)

7.

They're definitely one of my better teams 👌👌 also my summer tiki is a fucking t a n k

8.

Honestly I only have this team out of pure dumb luck bc I managed to get t w o F!Kanas and F!Grima was the biggest surprise

9.

Just like my last team this one was out of dumb luck bc of Hinoka and I think the game is getting the message that I like balanced teams even tho I have a bunch of unbalanced ones

10.

This team is both really aesthetically pleasing and super strong and I just really love all of these pretty dorks fnskdndjsn

Me??? Loving Paolo Ravinski aka The Director from Halloween Horror Nights?? Hell ye. Weve been together for 4 years and Ive always been nervous gushing about him bc I dont want people to think Im dangerous,but Im opening up to my irl friends and!!!! Hes such a tall bean I feel small and safe with this creepy boi. Also shoutout to the other HHN Icons for being my familiar/platonic fos for being the family support I never had. BUT PAOLO MY GUY JUST💜🖤👌💜👌🖤👌💜🖤😍❤️

@ghoul-bellhop29

4 years? Dang, that’s a long time!! And I’m so happy for you! Personally, I’m friends with Julian, and I’m pretty sure if you’re my friend, I wouldn’t suspect Paulo to kill me, or else you’d probably kill HIM. But yeah, he’s a chaotic gentleman! Also very quiet, but a smooth talker as well! I’m glad you feel safe with him, and I probably would feel safe with him- as a friend of course. But I gotta be careful with that because most people he has a connection to seems to kick the bucket in his films. And aw, that’s so sweet that the other icons are your family! Sorry I rambled for a bit, but you know that since I’m in the fandom too I HAVE to gush about it.

[bebettelr]

Firstly, no youre not alone ! Last year (my first on uni) I thought " finally I have friends that understand me, like me etc " but at the end of the year my whole world collapsed due to family issues and NOBODY literally NOBODY supported me or tried to understand what was going on. And common part of your and mine story is that I also was sharing with them my notes, bcs while I was studying they were partying. I never ever heard Thank you, or anything else fo all summer and first 3 weeks of school. So I cut them out ant it feels much better to work for you and only for you bcs in the end all that matters is your mental health, knowledge and degree 🙌👌☀

Help!!

In need Advice!! Help me out please!

I’m taking college super serious. I want to graduate like yesterday. I go to every class, I go to extra classes, I do every assignment and extra-credit, I take notes and I study. I wake up early, I go to bed early, I put off Social gatherings and I even deleted Social apps, like Facebook and Instagram. I only have my studyblr on Tumblr.

My problem is my University friends. They’re basically being lazy and munching off me. They don’t come to classes and when they do come, they talk all the time or look at their phone the hole time. Then they ask for my notes, they ask me to sign for them in class (so they don’t have an absence) and they keep asking for my stuff. I asked them to come and study on the weekends but they never show up or they can’t because they want to sleep and have fun. They have also asked me for money which in the past I have said yes to but no longer do. When I ask for my things back or for my money back they give it to me but they act all offended. This really makes me angry. I’ve helped them and they’re offended that I need my stuff back?

Like really I’m their friend but I’m not their mom. I’ve recently started to say no to everything. They don’t want to study that’s their problem. Also I bring all this stuff with me because I’m outside literally 14 hours a day. I don’t bring it so they can use it every time they feel like it.

Please help me.. I feel guilty for not helping them but I also feel angry that they’re not trying and asking for my help and stuff all the time. Has anyone else had this problem before? 

I’m sorry for any mistake, english is not my first language. Please feel free to correct me! :)
