can i ask for some sex advice? im a bisexual trans guy, i’ve been with cis women and had hookups with a cis guy where he just went down on me. i’m generally attracted to all genders, but sexually i find myself turned off/repulsed by penises and cum so i’ve only pursued hookups with ppl with vulvas (so far cis women and other ftms) or situations where i don’t have to interact with the penis. totally fine with trans women and femmes who are post-op, etc. i’ve just been worried that i’m gross/transphobic/a chaser? even though im bi i feel like a shitty person for not being into dick.
Hey, thanks for the question. I think it is a good thing to be asking oneself. I think that even if you were to conclude that your attitudes were transphobic, I don't think the solution would be pushing yourself to have sex you didn't want to have or trying to force yourself to "get over" the associations that you have. That won't work, and it's not your fault for having them. What matters is how we treat people, not what fleeting thoughts and emotions we might have privately, which is part of why it is so annoying for cis people to act as if they are persecuted for having a "genital preference" or whatever. The problem isn't their feelings. It's their exclusionary, cruel, often violent actions and the words they express publicly.
I think it's worth contemplating that many trans femme people have absolutely no desire to use their penises during sex, or can't because of various medical issues, and do not produce cum that looks anything like the way most cis men produce cum. How would you feel about a trans woman who does have a penis using a strap-on on you? About you two fisting each other? About you using a hitachi magic wand on her? How do you feel when you see a trans guy with a post-phalloplasty cock? Try to reflect on questions like these with curiosity and not judgement.
Maybe you will explore your feelings and find that there are still barriers; maybe for example you wouldn't feel comfortable going down on someone's penis, but would be happy to be fucked with a strap-on by someone who has a penis, or to fuck them. That's okay. Lots of trans women want exactly that kind of sexual encounter anyway. And lots more are open minded and recognize that T4T sex is experimental and free-floating and doesn't have to involve any specific sex acts. Negotiating these things should be done delicately and respectfully, but it is always fine to say "I don't do [xyz]" or "I don't want to do xyz right now."
I relate more to your question that you might know, albeit from a different direction. I have a lot of dysphoria about having a vagina; though PIV can feel good, what I most picture myself as having in my mind's eye is nothing at all between my legs. I hate receiving oral, as I've talked about a lot, but I'm also dysphoric about and disturbed by giving oral to a person with a vagina. I have also experienced a lot of sexual trauma that involved a (typically cis male) partner forcing or pressuring me to have sex with cis women. That's happened to me many times over the course of my life. It's also made facing any pressure whatsoever to have sex with women (either cis or trans) deeply triggering and upsetting to me.
All of my own personal hang-ups and traumas have left me feeling funnily very much like that one line from Saltburn, "Women are too wet. Men are so lovely and dry."
I do get into my head about it being super transphobic of me sometimes. But I have also had fun, carefree, experimental, gratifying, hot sex with trans men with vaginas. I might not be able to eat them out, but there's lots I can do. I can finger them, put my hands in them, eat their asshole, take their strap, suck their strap-on, kiss them, fondle them, play with their nipples, be fucked alongside them, writhe atop a single hitachi together with them, slap their ass, put a dildo in them, whatever. I just don't want to eat them out or have them eat me out, for the most part.
It would be highly understandable if a trans guy felt invalidated by my feeling that way or didn't want to have sex with me given those limits. that's fine. I understand this stuff is fraught and sucks sometimes. I don't talk about my feelings around this topic publicly often because it is so contentious and I don't want feelings to be hurt. But in my heart I'm comfortable with where I am at. I know which limits I have that seem immovable and I don't really want to push them ever again. Having those limits pushed is what traumatized me. At the same time, I know it's not connected in any way to seeing trans men as lesser than cis men, or as less attractive, and I know it's not a barrier to me having sex with trans men if the moment and our interests both align. I'm not a bad person for feeling this way. It's actually really hard to be trans and to be wired this way. But I'm doing the best I can with it to both grow, and not be an asshole, and also to find fulfillment.

I honestly don’t understand the whole “it’s just a joke”, “that’s how guys talk” like no?
First of all that’s a lame fucking excuse for his behavior. Just because you’re a fan doesn’t mean you have to protect every fucked up thing he says.
Let’s be honest non of us know them personally, we see what’s online and hear what’s said. So pretending like you know them, saying “he’s a good guy” and defending him like you do is embarrassing.
I use to be a fan of Misha. Well, more like I use to respect him as an actor and I enjoyed him in SPN. This year I had the privilege to meet him at a con. I say privilege because I know that many can’t afford to or haven’t had the opportunity.
It was so awkward, he clearly didn’t want to be there. Everything he said during his q&a catered to the audience. It was over all very fake, I still can’t understand how people feed into the stuff he says.
It really put a bad taste in my mouth. I’ve never been his biggest fan, just thought that it would be fun to meet someone, from the tv show the show I’ve loved for years. That being said if I could go back, I’d save my money instead of wasting it.
I’m not saying he wasn’t nice to me, I did have a longer interaction than others that had been in line. But as someone who hasn’t ever been an obsessive fan, I think it might have been easier not feeding into all the crap he says.
People forget that he gets paid to do this stuff. The reason why he’s a fan favorite is because of destiel. So ofc he’s going to milk it, since that’s the only thing he has to talk about.
All the questions were destiel related, he has nothing else to say about the show. Honestly I don’t think he remembers anything that happened in the show, except from all of the scenes where he can confirm that destiel is canon.
Anyway after that con I watched a few videos of other panels online, because Jensen and Jared didn’t attend the one I went to. And I have to say I agree with a lot of the things you’ve posted.
It’s clear that he tries hard to push Jared out of the picture, he forces this idea of being besties with Jensen at cons. It’s always so awkward watching them together. Most of the time Jensen just goes along with stuff Misha says, so he doesn’t have to answer the same questions about destiel being canon or not.
Jensen obviously takes his acting seriously, he played Dean for 15 years. So I don’t get when he says over and over again, that destiel isn’t a thing. That people can’t accept it and move on. I love Dean, but I’m not going to pretend I know him better than Jensen. He WAS Dean. He knows him inside and out.
Then we have Misha that eggs the fans on during these panels. It’s like Jensen tries to answer the question seriously. Then Misha swoops in makes a small joke out of it, like Jensen has no idea what he’s talking about and proceeds to talk over him. Giving them the answer they want to hear.
It even feels like he’s making fun of the fans at times, knowing that they feed into this crap and thinking it’s funny that they do.
Gives me the same vibes of Regina George saying “I love that bracelet where did you get it”. Then going back to the green room and making fun of it.
I mean he’s made fun of the show and fans before, there are literally videos or posts online.
ALSO!!! The whole thing Jensen said about it not being subtext it was clear text, has been so fucking twisted.
This has turned into more of a rant, sorry. But what I mean to say is I agree with a lot of the things you’ve said. I just don’t understand how people can’t see it? It’s so frustrating.
I don’t hate Misha, it just really really fucking bugs me, that people don’t see what he’s doing. I just don’t get that you, like others who point it out get attacked.
People go on and on about how hateful others are, then proceed to bully people online for pointing shit out? Make that make sense.
Hi Anon! Saw your other message, and yeah, I don't blame you there, but you are good, so here we go. Thank you for the message btw. Very refreshing after my last few that's for sure.
I will start by saying that I have never seen a group of people so willing to turn a blind eye to the numerous inappropriate things their fave does/says as the hellers/Misha Stans. Their mantra in life is "oh, it was just a joke". I mean, they have to say it constantly because Misha can't stop being inappropriate. He kinda has to though doesn't he? Otherwise, he couldn't keep them entertained and he'd float on off into obscurity.
Unfortunately, that requires the use of Jared and Jensen's names.
I'll start with Jensen just because I happen to already have a link ready.
So, with Jensen, he's going to play that Destiel/Cockles card as much as he possibly can. Always has, always will. Jensen has always said that Destiel doesn't exist. (Thanks to @Sammyiscat on X for posting this today, just when I needed it!)
Tumblr media
Once upon a time, Jensen did do a little fan service and lean into it slightly during JenMish panels. However, he always made it as clear as possible how he really feels. Then the hellers called him homophobic for it. So earlier this year, as you mentioned, he called it "clear text" not subtext. He tried to be as diplomatic as possible. The unfortunate part of being diplomatic is that it allowed the hellers to twist themselves into pretzels making it sound like Jensen said the opposite of what he actually was saying.
What I find the most interesting is that in the last few years, Misha is on his best behavior around Jensen. He only runs his mouth off when Jensen isn't around. Usually when he's at a European con alone. I'd LOVE to know how that transpired. Jensen is also usually in a pretty bad mood leading up to a JenMish panel these days as well. He was surprisingly ok in Charlotte (except for that one damn question). However, let's look back on San Francisco. Remember when he ran from Misha trying to hug him?
Tumblr media
That is the definition of an unhappy Jensen....Yet hellers, CANNOT SEE IT! How can they not see that? Anyways...I could go on and on here....
So let's move on to Jared...
Sweet silly Jared. How anyone could be mean to him I'll never know. Something has changed there too. There was a lot more joking from Misha where Jared is concerned once up a time. Now, everything Misha says about his sounds bitter and or malicious.
He loves to point out that Jared was discovered just walking down the street, or that he has no training or that he didn't go to college.
Then there was the airplane story from last month in DC. It was partially true, but heavily embellished to make Jared sound bad, and what happens every time that happens? Tons of hate descends onto Jared online. People telling him to kill himself. Just pure bullying and hate. Misha HAS to know that is what would happen.
Just this past weekend he mocked him: (Ignore the person who tweeted this. You don't want to go down that route)
Tumblr media
What an asshole. I mean really. I know, I know hellers, "oh, it's just a joke" right? Let's not start the "you and your friends have no sense of humor" crap again.
As far as con experiences go? I've heard people say many times that they have had negative experiences meeting Misha. Unless you are known to him already he couldn't care less. Been there, done that, can confirm. Like I said in another post, glad I already didn't like him because I sure wouldn't now!
Tumblr media
Edited to add another link of Jensen denying Destiel.

The Bear Season 3 is a bridge season that feels weird on purpose, but also has some big problems: A review/ramble
Season 3 is clearly a bridge season, and suffers from having been written & shot alongside season 4. As a result, unlike the seasons 1 & 2, it doesn’t feel like a distinctive or complete chapter of the restaurant’s life. Just half of one.
This is partly because there’s no ‘end-goal’ like in S2, or clear progression/visible improvement to the restaraunt like in S1. Season 3 is about stagnation. Most of its storylines are left unresolved- the review, Sydney’s job offer, Tiff & Frank’s wedding, Marcus being inspired by his mother’s death, Tina and the dying farmer’s market, Carmy’s conflicts with both Claire and Ritchie. All these threads will roll into Season 4, and Season 3 suffers from that.
PACING, FLASHBACKS AND TONE: FORM REFLECTING FUNCTION
HOWEVER. This being a ‘bridge’, character-focused season isn’t inherently bad. Individual episodes of The Bear still tear when they want to. Episodes 1, 2, & 3 are a very strong setup for the season and establish good momentum. Episodes 6 & 8 are fantastic character pieces, and 8 in particular made me bawl. Even the finale, though bogged down by masturbatory celebrity chef cameos, was a strong episode.
The problem is all the stuff in-between. The actual day-to-day running of the restaurant feels hollow and empty now. There’s a distance between the characters and it feels like they don’t interact as a group anywhere near as much.
Part of this is absolutely deliberate. People joke about S3 'method acting' its way into bad reviews to reflect the restaraunt, but losing steam and the connections between characters is genuinely a formal reflection of the kitchen crew's moods, as the day-to-day grind of running the restaurant wears them down.
The use of flashbacks in 3x1 is excellent, but Season 3 quickly becomes way over-reliant on them (episode 9 especially, oh my god). Again, this feels like a conscious choice to reflect Carmy’s state of inertia/the fact he’s perpetually trapped in the past. It makes sense, but that doesn’t give the show a pass for being boring, and 3x9 was the first time I’ve ever felt genuinely bored by this show.  
FUCK THE FAKS & NEGLECTING POC CHARACTERS
My other problems are much more clearly the fault of the show; I do not give a flying fuck about the Faks. Neil is cute in small doses. The brothers are great as soundboards for other characters; Theo getting Sweeps to talk about his backstory in baseball, the brothers comforting Donna at the end of 3x8 Ice Chips, or the haunting argument finally forcing Carmy to talk about Claire.
But on their own? When they’re just bouncing off each-other? These guys aren't half as funny as the show seems to think they are. And their scenes drag on so long. For example, the B-plot of 3x5 Computer wastes half of an otherwise strong episode with pointless fucking around, propped up by a pointless celebrity cameo. I do not Give. A. Fuck about haunting, Mr. Cena, why the fuck are you here.
The aggravating time-wasting is made worse by The Bear continuing to neglect and underuse its POC characters. This is the second season in a row where I’ve felt Syd only got the bullet-points of an arc. She is the LEADING LADY. Ayo is now the show’s biggest breakout star. USE HER.
I really enjoyed Tina's focus episode, but unlike Forks and Honeydew last season it doesn't move the plot forward, and unlike Fishes the flashbacks don't contextualize Tina''s actions in the present because she's barely doing anything in the present, despite the show setting up her struggles in the kitchen early in the season.
Meanwhile, Ebra got crumbs again and Sweeps got a single scene, which is tragically at least better than he had last year.
Marcus’ arc this year is a fascinating microcosm for the show’s themes, but it barely gets a second to breathe because we have to cram in another five minutes of the Fak brothers arguing about that time Neil got taped into a cardboard box. It’s ridiculous. And then they showcase Nat being all protective of Marcus in an episode he’s barely in, when she barely interacts with him. It feels unearned & disingenuous, using Marcus as a prop for a Hell Yeah gotcha moment.
I liked Josh Harnett though, that casting had purpose, and both Chef Terry and Luca were used excellently.
CAMEOS
The surprise celebrity cameos this year felt distracting and indulgent in a way last year’s didn’t. In Fishes the slew of cameos were a dramatic tool meant to disorient the viewer. This year, John Cena is here to distract you from how pointless this B-plot is, and we've brought in a bunch of famous chefs to tell you direct-to-camera why cooking and the service industry are so important.
The chefs in particular are bizzare after season 1 spent most of its time telling us how evil and toxic the fine dining industry is. But now it's actually just the fault of a few bad apples, and these guys are really rad actually?
CLAIRE
Much has been said about how Claire was an underwritten archetype for Carmy to project onto. Now, I don’t much give a fuck about shipping in this show, but it’s clear Claire & Carmy’s romance didn’t connect with most people. It felt hollow. At the time, I thought this was deliberate, like the tone and flashbacks this season; Claire’s writing reflected Carmy’s perception of her as a saintlike childhood daydream who could deliver him from all the stresses of his life.
But this season, not only does the show refuse to let Claire go, it doubles down on objectifying her as a prop for Carmy’s self-loathing, trapped in his memory.
Again, this might work thematically if I knew Claire as a person, or was at all invested in their romance, but I don't and I’m not. As it stands, the multiple extended flashbacks with Claire feel like futile attempts to plug the holes in Season 2's weakest storyline, and drag their episodes down. If we’re supposed to root for Carmy to find happiness outside the kitchen, this is having the opposite effect, and it’s made worse by it all being left unresolved by the finale.
Either do something with this character or move on, because right now every time Claire appears I clock out emotionally, and that’s not her fault, it’s the way the show treats her.
CARMY THE ASSHOLE
All this contributes to an overriding problem that I again think is deliberate, but risky; Carmy isn’t likeable this season. He causes his conflicts with Ritchie and Syd, to whom he has passed down his generational trauma. Carmy's menu is the biggest thing dragging the Bear into bankruptcy. Carmy has stopped working to resolve his familial trauma like in seasons 1 & 2, just as Nat starts making headway. He functionally doesn’t exist outside the kitchen, entirely preoccupied with the past & a girl the audience doesn’t care about.
Unlike previous seasons, the few times Carmy is called out for his bad behaviour he doesn’t make much effort to listen or improve. Again, I get that this is the point. Carmy is on a low, self-destructive ebb, and hopefully when things start resolving in season 4 he’ll snap out of it. But him dragging the show down with him has consequences.
EPISODE COUNT & FINAL THOUGHTS
A lot of people are saying that S3 only had enough plot for 2-3 episodes, and while I think that’s disingenuous- The Bear has always been a character-focused, vibes-first show- I do think it should've returned to the 8-episode count of season 1. You can consolidate the same amount of ‘plot development’ into fewer episodes while maintaining the deliberate sense of inertia. Cut back on the Faks and flashbacks to give more time to the kitchen crew, and many of the complaints would disappear.
Anyway, all this to say that The Bear season 3 is not Bad like some are saying, but it is a step down from its first two seasons. It feels like it’s got lost in its own head and lost a part of itself along the way, and while a lot of that is deliberate- formally reflecting Carmy’s internal conflict- it exacerbates existing problems (underwritten POC, Claire) and creates several new ones (celeb cameos, overusing flashbacks, unresolved plotlines) previous seasons were able to sidestep.

what headcanons do you have for bucciarati since you’re his #1 zealot
A Motley Of A Mafioso
Tumblr media
Note: Sorry for not answering this right away. I’ve been trying to get a handle on health issues. Also, since I didn’t know what headcanons you wanted, I just decided to list out some random ones.
He walks very quietly, as a result of attuning himself to his profession. Unfortunately for everyone else in Bruno’s squad, that means he frequently scares them. (Even if it’s something unintentional, Bruno thinks it’s funny to see their reactions whenever it happens — not enough to laugh but enough that he has to force himself not to smirk.)
He can’t listen to Miles Davis while driving because he gets too relaxed and doesn’t pay as much attention to his surroundings as he’s supposed to.
Speaking of Miles Davis, he also enjoys listening to other jazz musicians like Chet Baker, Duke Ellington and Bill Evans.
Bruno rarely ever gets sick but when he does, he claims he’s fine and he can work through whatever ailment he has. (For clarification, he’s stubborn enough to insist he doesn’t need help but not enough to reject the help of someone that’s equally as adamant on caring for him.)
During the summer, Bruno will eat kit-kats without snapping them apart so he can eat them with the wrapper on and not have it melt on his hands. He’s aware he’s doing it wrong but he doesn’t care.
Bruno either drinks water or water with the drink mixes in them because he wants to keep track of his calorie intake (staying in shape is pretty mandatory for him) throughout the day and having very low calorie drinks makes it easier for him.
Additionally, since flavored milk isn’t very popular in Italy, I fully believe he’s never tasted strawberry milk.
He enjoys playing Solitaire and Minesweeper.
When Bruno’s in love with someone, he’s more prone to laughing at their innocuous remarks and lighthearted quips. You’d never expect it, considering he’s usually so serious but in a casual setting, he’s able to relax more and you’ll be able to get a couple chuckles out of him. Though, only the apple of his eye can get him to snort at a bad pun or poorly delivered dirty joke. (Everyone in his squad does not let him live it down.)
When it comes to relationships, he’s not very extravagant — don’t expect him to send heaps of roses to your place of employment or for him to propose in public. Aside from the obvious dangers both situations present (bearing in mind the fact that his partner would be dating a well-known criminal in his community), he dislikes romantic gestures like those because they feel performative and shallow to him. Furthermore, he prefers to keep intimate things between him and his partner.
Instead, Bruno expresses his love through acts of service, quality time and words of affirmation — though, his words of affirmations aren’t exactly spoken, as they are written (at least during the beginning of his relationship with his partner).
As much as he’d like to say he’s got the perfect idea of what to tell his partner, Bruno’s barely got an idea of how to approach a romantic relationship in the first place. He spent his early formative years alone with his hermit father, only to join the mafia at age 12, to interact with people on a solely impersonal level. To say he’s fucked when it comes to making and maintaining close relationships is putting it lightly. (That isn’t to say he’s socially inept. I’m just saying he’s inexperienced with romance.)
The best concept he has of romantic gestures is from his favorite movie, Il Postino. So, much like the protagonist of the movie, Bruno will express his love to them in letters and poems. Not only is it easier for him to think about what he wants to say in this format, he doesn’t have to worry about looking his partner in the eye and keeping a straight face while expressing how he feels towards them.
He’s naturally an attentive person, and that quality is amped up 10x more with his partner. Everything they say is commited to memory — even the embarrassing things they’d wish he’d forget. If they needed their laundry done, he’d remember that and help them with it. Or if they mentioned being hungry, he’s already making them food.
As expected of a man isolated from normal society, Bruno would cherish his relationship with his partner more than anything — and that would show with how much time he’d spend with them. Hell, one of the easiest ways to tell if he’s got a crush on someone is to see how much time he’s spending with said person. It’s just a no-brainer that he’d want to spend his time with the person who soothes his weary soul the most.
He has two laughs:
This is his laugh when he’s amused by something:
And this is his laugh when he finds something absolutely hysterical:

i’ve seen a couple people saying blitz should’ve seen stolas’s “feelings bullshit” coming and therefore should’ve reacted better to it. i disagree.
completely putting aside both of their traumas and personalities - stolas had been prepping what he was going to say and how he would say it. stolas had everything planned because he knew what he was calling this specific full moon meeting for.
blitz didn’t get that time, which he points out in an over the top but completely in character manner. getting a massively serious conversation sprung on you when it isn’t what you were expecting, in my experience, is incredibly startling and stressful. for me, and apparently blitz as well, it boots you back to factory settings. for some people ([incredibly loud and very conspicuous coughing] stolas) it’s people-pleasing and/or running away. for blitz, he gets the other side - where stolas is fawn and/or flight, blitz is fight and/or freeze. and we see him do both! he pauses, lets stolas talk, and comes out of his metaphorical blue screen with the belief that it’s a joke or a set up to sex. when the freeze fails, though, he’s only left with fight.
and stolas is actively working to avoid his people-pleasing! this full moon was meant to be about his feelings and finally laying them out, laying himself out, to be scrutinized. he needs to finally know how blitz feels in return. he can’t let blitz push things back to how they were. because what they’d been doing, what they’d been working with to that point, for some twenty five years (whether stolas knows about the paimon buying blitz off cash thing or not), has been transactional. it isn’t fair. he can acknowledge that much (even if he isn’t quite at a point for realization of his microaggressions). and when fawning isn’t an option, stolas gets stuck with flight.
blitz is trying to fight the crumbling of their fucked up relationship but he’s only breaking it more as stolas forces the interaction to end, ending their relationship with it. fight and flight acting in opposition. the fighter tries to wrestle his feelings and thoughts into order while trying to engage the flyer, anything to stop him from running. the flyer can’t watch anymore as his world crumbles down so he makes it all stop.
their interaction ends by force before blitz can get his head on straight because he’s running on instinct and it’s. not. working. stolas isn’t looking at him. neither of them can see the other’s face. blitz can’t see what he’s done until it’s too late and stolas never sees the raw, vulnerable emotion being shown by blitz. neither of them can get the reaction they need because they’re too stuck in their own heads to even look at each other.
neither of them truly pauses or takes a second to just be quiet and think. both of them are running on instinct, because stolas’s plan didn’t work and blitz has been running on adrenaline and nerves literally the whole day but especially since he got to the palace.
tl;dr - blitz was never going to be able to respond correctly, especially with his past. but even outside of that, he and stolas are acting on different frequencies and, because they can both sense their relationship failing as the interaction goes on, they don’t take a moment to try to get back on the same tracks, leading to the end of the encounter and both of them (and me) being distraught.

Anonymous asked:
other ortho anon! that person probably was already willing to call you or someone a creep, generally those posers will excuse groomers if they like them enough, and since that one doesn't like you enough to interpret your ship as wholesome, so you would be stressed out anyway as they force you to perform.
anyway, i hope you don't give up owo9 i know a bunch of Ortho lovers, and they are generally all nice, so reach out to one of us! those people don't want you to find community but you do have community! you are not alone, you can dm us as you find us (i'm on ao3 in the reader ortho tag), i would love to hear about your ship X3
(this one addresses the first Anon from this post)
Awwwhhh this filled my heart with love and warmth! Honestly, I don’t even have anything to add; I really hope you read it, 💜🌹Anon.
It’s wonderful that there is a community of Ortho lovers that are interested in each other’s stuff and very supportive! It’s true though; while we don’t interact with a lot of people outside of our comments and asks, everyone’s been very sweet and fun so far (because of how difficult it is to not get attacked for loving Ortho as well I guess, so there is a lot of mutual understanding!).

Nothing too concrete or definitive for now!
Since the translation that we’ve been watching isn’t complete yet, we’re taking a small break from the event until there are some more parts to watch (probably all of them, to be honest). We have some thoughts about Skully and his potential ships, but nothing to share yet, unfortunately.

Can I pick your brain for a minute?
I’m a trans man, been on hormones for a year and a half, but I’ve identified as trans for ten years. I began my transition when I was an adult just to make sure I was really sure with my identity. This thought came naturally to me, I’m an empiricist so I don’t see my own thoughts as ironclad facts about how I feel. I’ve always been this way.
I’ve been in the trans community for awhile, 2014 to now, and I’ve had a few ups but many, many downs with interacting with other trans people. And sure, a few negative interactions may weigh more on you than positive, but over the years I feel that other trans people are just. Insane. I’ve struggled with mental health, every human has their moments, but I’ve always held onto this empiricist frame of thought. There was a long time where I was stuck, deep in what 2014 tumblr would call “tucute-ism,” where I felt pressured to validate other people no matter how strange it was. At the time I was thinking “they’ll probably just grow out of it” but as I aged…they did not. Over time I began to feel more and more alienated from the community, but by far, my worst interactions I had with other trans people were trans women and non-binary people of both the female and male sex. Even when I was in that phase I did not use neopronouns, nounpronouns, or hell, emojipronouns. Overtime as a younger generation discovered their ‘transness’ I witnessed that wow, those same “you’re fucking crazy” barriers of the mid to late 2010s were gone completely and in its wake was a bunch of children combining letters into “words” I knew I’d never understand how to use. It’s all just a form of counterculture to me. But people defended this by comparing it to the 60s where trans people would identify as “genderfucks” or “feminine water lilies” and that we went back to the 60’s was “cool” and “awesome.”
But that period of time in the trans movement was the most ineffectual and self harming era of the trans community, soon followed stonewall and the following riots which set the LGBT community at large back for a few decades. Which ultimately killed millions as a result of the rise of the AIDS crisis. So now I wonder if through our own fuck-up and counterculture existence screaming “down with the USA” we’ve made the present rhyme with history and that down the road, possibly with the reelection of Trump (or later, Vance, as a successor), that we have solidly and utterly fucked ourselves.
So I wonder that if, by the end of this re-run of nonsense, where we’re stuck in a more perilous position where the insane ones are forced to step in line, if the gender-critical movement or “TERFism” would fade out of existence, or at least, temporarily. Because ultimately I see the world in cycles and every group of people goes crazy sometime or another, minority groups are no exception.
So essentially, do you think the gender-critical movement is reactionary in some way shape or form? That it only exists out of the actions of a few-many trans people? I see social movements as a tug o’ war, where at some point a group of people drop the rope and the other side falls backwards. If there is nothing propelling your criticisms of the trans community, what’s the end result? And hopefully not, but if by next year anti-trans violence ramps up (as it has been in regard to anti-trans laws) what do you think many gender critical people may feel?
Hello :)
First of all, the fear you have had in your ask (which you sent before the election) apparently became true and now, Trump is the new president of the United States. My condolences :(
I don't think that gender critical feminism is reactionary. I personally think that the identity focused movements of the past decade or two have not improved the material conditions of the marginalised people they were intended to help, and I think that they are a cheap way for neoliberalism to act as though it is a progressive ideology when the entire identity politics thing is just a way to sound progressive without actually doing anything for these groups (like free education, healthcare, etc.).
I also don't think that radical feminism and its stance on trans rights stems from a few trans people who are using neo-pronouns or behaving ridiculously (even though that's what makes a lot of people interested in our opinions). I am obviously kinda annoyed by neopronoun users, but it's nothing compared to the eradication of women's rights and our disappearance from the public conscience as a sex class.
Also, for me, the end result would be to abolish gender and to abolish patriarchy, and in the best case, capitalism with it (yeah I know but I'm allowed to dream).
And I don't know what every gender critical person feels if anti-trans violence ramps up, but I personally see anti-trans violence as violence against individuals who are perceived to be gender non-conforming or homosexual (in the case of non-passing trans people), and violence against individuals who are perceived to be women (in the case of passing trans women). I am obviously against homophobia (duh), and also against violence against gender non-conforming individuals. That's why I am gender critical, I hate gender and I hate violence against people who seem not to conform to gender norms. The only way to fight this is, in my opinion, to recognise that we can look however we want and do whatever we want regardless of our biological sex. Violence against gnc people is one of the many reasons as to why I hold the position I do; gender is bullshit and so it violence against those who don't adhere to it.
And for you saying that it is counterproductive to say stuff like "down with the USA", I have to say that I'm not too familiar with US politics and how this kind of behaviour might influence public perception. So I guess that it's bad optics, but look at how Israeli settlers are behaving (literally killing people and perpetuating a genocide), and they are still receiving aid from the government of the US. So idk whether the US government makes their decisions based on violent slogans or whether they support you if you are aligned with their foreign policy interests. But I'm sure that you can judge this better, as I don't know a lot about US culture.
I'm also happy that you have recognised what type of people help you and I believe that you should take care of yourself and whom you spend your energy on. I hope that you are happy with where you are now and I wish you all the best :)

What do you think the A/B/O dynamic would be for Kandreil? This ask makes me feel a bit crazy because I’ve been in fandom spaces for the past 10 years and I’ve never read an omegaverse fanfic until you started posting them. LOL your powerrr 🫡
LMFAO okay so. i understand entirely when people say omegaverse isn't their thing because it is ultimately a fetish-based worldbuilding and how people interact with it is very personal and deliberate. that being said the reason i'm interested in omegaverse is because it forces characters to act on their romantic/sexual tension often to their own detriment, and because it exaggerates and exacerbates the circumstances of any relationship, to a point where otherwise closed off characters would find themselves in a position where they are biologically urged to express their feelings
that being said sometimes it's absolutely just because it's hot and i'm into it. we're adults! let's be honest. anyway, that's why i like it and have written it for two ships very widely known to Not Communicate. :) and to answer your question i really like omega4omega kandrew so do with that what you will, and i like the idea of neil as a lesser"??non-traditional alpha. i think there's a lot of fun to be had with that idea. kevin is definitely very terribly fucked up hormones-wise i think, i lovelovelove ideas where he is Bad at handling the whole thing and just ontologically a fucked up omega for the years trying to pretend he isn't one, even more so if it can't be fixed at all. and of course andrew's whole thing. and then neil's whole thing too.
the tl;dr is i think they'd be very dysfunctional but have a better understanding of each other than even normal kandreil. and i think they would fuck Nasty

what made you wanna write the camp half-blood fic?? shit eats
THE SOUTH PARK PJO AU IS IN MY HEAD RENT FREE RN SO HELLO!! THIS IS SUCH A COOL QUESTION LMAO
I wanna write a fic that focuses on the main four boys being kids and fucking around and saving the world and being a surrogate family. I just love when fics can really capture that spirit and aspire to do that myself.
Like I love seeing these bastards interact, I love the dynamics and the jokes and the clashes and the drama and the brotherhood, I want to give that feeling to someone else through my writing.
Like when I was reading Hunger Pains for the first time that’s what stuck out to me most, how well the group dynamic is captured. It’s also why I’m so obsessed with PCE’s orangejuiceverse (go check out @1moreoffkeyanthem) because they have this talent of being able to translate the friendships perfectly and make it fun to read while still honouring the complexity of the characters, ie what they do to Cartman in their fics to make him actually enjoyable?? Even with him being a dick?? It’s witchcraft but so impressive that I legit take notes 😭😭 Similarly, I’ve defo been inspired by the fanfic called “the mysterion mythos: cthulu fhtagn” in regards to wanting to explore the kids’ mentalities and use that to look into mythology. Read it if you haven’t, it’s awesome.
Another massive part of it is probably my desire to write a story that can follow the “adventure + coming of age + mythology + sarcastic asf main character” narrative that Percy Jackson has going on, except with Stan being the main character of this fanfic I think it’s a slightly different tone to pjo?? (Stan is more chilled out in his wit, like I imagine him being sassy and cynical asf but just keeping it in his head, unlike Percy who just says it, because who tf has the energy dude–)
Another massive part of it is getting to explore how each character might act in this universe while also trying to incorporate my headcanons for the godly parents in a way that doesn’t feel like I’ve just randomly assigned them, like all the kids have plots directly related to their godly parent or lack thereof that I think is fitting (Cartman you unclaimed bastard, keep on searching for a dad bro, get that validation, or Kenny I’m so sorry that you’re alienated and forced to be the “quiet kid” being a son of Hades, or Kyle you Athena kid with perfectionism and an inferiority complex 😭😭) and I also want to do this in a way that respects and even honours alternative headcanons, that’s why I love hearing different assignments even after I’ve assigned a kid a godly parent in the fic.
Like I wanna add alternative plotlines between this kid and that god or aspect of the mythology, I wanna honour what you see in that headcanon, I don’t want this to be a story that only I can enjoy.
Oh, and also slow burn. Style that takes literal years?? Sign me up, owls and ravens mf.
Thank you for this question!! I hope I’ve answered it well (Go check out the fic recs!!)

it's getting really upsetting to see certain corners of the fandom demonize peggy. do you have any thoughts on the matter?
Oh, if only this were a new thing, anon!
I’ve been in the MCU fandom since before there was an MCU to speak of. Shitting on women characters and the actors who play them has been going on forever. People posted about how they hated Pepper Potts, saying she wasn’t a good partner to Tony because she didn’t constantly enable his erratic behaviour, or sacrifice her safety to accommodate his trauma. They posted about how Pepper should have died in Iron Man 2, for the good of Tony’s story, and when Iron Man 3 came out, they said the same thing. It was fucking exhausting.
People also posted about how they hated Natasha Romanoff, how they hated Jane Foster, how they hated Wanda Maximoff, how they hated Sharon Carter. 
And yes, there were Peggy-haters then too. They called her a “karate-kicking fucktoy” and a “vengeful feminazi” and those are the most polite terms I can recall. They complained that she was too powerful, they complained that she was too feminine, they complained that she was pointless without Steve, they complained that she talked about Steve too much. And so on, and so forth, ad infinitum.
Now, to be clear, I am not talking about some of the very valid criticisms people had about the Agent Carter series - its writing, its casting, etc. I am also not talking about the very valid criticisms people have about the larger MCU related to representation, or lack thereof, across multiple fronts. I believe it’s possible to enjoy a piece of media and still have issues with some (or even many) aspects of it, and I enjoy reading posts that grapple with those issues. I’m not even talking about venting about a popular character you can’t stand: that has its place, though I’d argue that the place is probably not in the tag for that character. (I guarantee you, your “unpopular opinion” is never as unpopular as you think.)
I’m talking about misogyny. The same tired, rehashed, played out bullshit woman-hating that has existed in fandoms, so many fandoms, for at least the 25+ years that I’ve been active in them.
And that’s still what’s happening.
Many of the posts I’ve seen that fall under this category are expressing anger that one character or relationship or storyline or interpretation of canon is getting airtime, while another one, one they like better, is not. I’m not going to argue with anyone about that. You like what you like, and you're entitled to be annoyed if you don't get it. But if your argument is sound, you should be able to make your point effectively without calling the character the grossest euphemism for vagina you can find, or speculating on the exact sex acts an actor had to do to keep her character popular.
Other posts I’ve seen are just absolute buckwild conspiracy theory nonsense. The only thing I have to say about that is, yikes. Get well soon.
Tumblr, like other social media platforms, recognizes that they get more engagement if people are forced to play in the same sandbox, which is why it probably feels like you're seeing a disproportionate number of hate posts. And anyone who writes for money on the internet knows that hate clicks are often the juiciest clicks, and so they will write articles and listicles and polls with titles and subjects designed to get your blood up. It’s become increasingly difficult to avoid seeing other people’s ridiculous opinions. But that’s still the strategy that I find best helps me enjoy fandom. 
So if “certain corners” of the fandom are not to your taste, anon, then my advice is this: block, blacklist, and just don’t engage. Don’t feed the trolls. Instead, put that energy into positive interactions. Make art. Comment on things you liked. Find your friends, and have conversations that inspire you and amuse you, instead of ones that make you angry and tired.
Thanks for the ask! Take care.

Any headcannons on the 141 and reaper interacting with one another? Like shit they do or how the 141 has felt towards her in certain moments in the story so far (for example reaper laughing at graves or reaper comforting gaz) we haven’t gotten much on how they feel about her out loud. I understand if you plan to keep that to your self for now but just thought I’d ask :)
Hi anon (everyone give them a round of applause) I’ve been holding this in until someone’s asked!!
Gaz @ Reaper:
really likes her :) looks up to her kinda like a sister
wishes she would open up a bit more, sometimes feels like things are one-sided with their conversations
but at a borderline view, he understands that she's probably got a reason for it
he's got so much trust in her, whatever she's got against graves, he knows that he deserves the hate
gaz's noticed that she's hesitated with touching a few times, but he's patient because ghost used to be too
starting to get kinda antsy around graves. why does she hate him so much? clearly something bad happened, but was it really bad enough to make her act like... that?
appreciates her doing all that during Christmas; it made him feel a lot better about his standing with his ex, and it really sealed the deal on how much he liked her
Roach @ Reaper:
the way he thinks of her is like "reaper!! :D" not "reaper"
ghost used to be kinda hesitant too, so he gets it
doesn't really want to push affection or force her to open up, or anything; she's got a mask for a reason, he's not going to rip it off
even with that, he really really tries to get her to smile
he saw her laugh that one time at lunch, he so badly wants her to be happy like that again
he notices her little efforts to try and be nice, sweetening the blows of her insults with gentle punches
doesn't give a shit about how he used to feel about graves, he's on her side with whatever their tension is
Soap @ Reaper:
just wants his friend to be happy
he keeps trying to push a little more every now and again-- exposure therapy might be great for her hesitation with opening up-- but can read her body language pretty well, so when she gets tense, he stops
its obvious how little she cares about herself, and the scot fucking hates that
why can't she see that the team cares about her?
he'd take a bullet for her and he knows she'd do the same for him, but talking's so difficult for her.
wonders if her reasoning for being so brash is because of graves since they seem to have so much tension
soap still has a lot of trust in the commander though, but he understands that they had their issues, and whatever it was, it permanently fucked her up, and that’s slowly starting to turn him
Price @ Reaper:
really respects the woman, she's put a lot of years of training into her title and he thinks she’s owed more than what she gets currently
he thinks she deserves a lieutenant ranking at how much she has experienced, but the blacked-out pages in her files make him uneasy-- mostly because of her tension with graves
his view hasn't changed much about the commander, but this woman's quickly becoming like family to him, so he has his eyes up for the higher-ranked officer
he knows there’s something up; the distant looks during Graves’ briefings, the slight shift behind her teammates when the commander barks at his shadows, the way she never turns his back to him when they’re in the same room. Price knows this distrust and it doesn’t come from a bad prank
he sees little bits of his younger self in her; her efforts to protect her team, the stupid selflessness in her, the clear yearning to be in on the banter. It’s endearing to him
unintentionally sees her as a kid— maybe even his own
Ghost @ Reaper:
she used to be angry all the time, and when she’s wasn’t, she was distant. But that’s changed, and he doesn’t know why he likes that so much
there have been a few times that she’s opened up a bit more, the panic attack he calmed her down from, her mentions of graves, and the softness she’s had for her teammates, like that moment with gaz during Christmas
speaking of Christmas, those jokes— fuck, that stupid little plushie that he spent like an hour looking for in the shops? he really had to press down the smile that threatened to grow on his lips when she unwrapped it because fucking hell, he wasn’t expecting her to like it so much. it was just a toy… that he got because it looked like that cat she saved
but she’s not open like the others. even price lets down his walls every now and again, Reaper doesn’t explain shit at all
things started to click more after the infiltration mission when she broke down. she actively separated herself from her team and he broke that barrier because he wanted to help her. those words in themselves freak him out
even though she started out as someone who didn’t want to be around him, she’s clearly warmed up to him… enough to smile and laugh. he didn’t remember anything else from that lunch hour, trying to remember her lips curling and how her laughter mixed in with the rest of the DFAC.
he thinks about her so much and it terrifies him.

Rhi!!! I did not expect Powder Keg to unfold the way it did and I certainly did not expect it to involve multiple characters. Every time I think I’ve found some sense of bearing in your stories, you always end up surprising me and keeping me on my toes! I love how each the story centers on each Haikyuu boy, starting with Kuroo and in a way, ending with him when he sort of reminded OC time’s up and visitation hours were over.
Also loved how you captured their personality when interacting with Kisumi, like Kuroo’s cunning underneath his mask of professionalism, Akaashi’s polite yet aloof demeanor, and Bokuto’s restlessness and enthusiasm (to get it over with). And I think, all 3 boys are scary, just not in the same wavelengths. Like Akaashi’s and Kuroo’s are more mindfuck scary versus Bokuto’s physical strength. I mean even if he isn’t as ah, calculating as the other two, you can’t deny his beast of a strength and how he is capable of brutally fucking up Kisumi. The opening is also killer because I could feel reader’s dissociation and numbness from the shock of it all, I suppose. I just realized that sometimes, reading about the implications can be much more haunting than if I were to read an explicit retelling, really nice touch!
As always, I’m flooded by questions haha so I hope you’ll indulge me. Did the 3 of them initially plan to confess to MC or at least gave her the option of a polyamorous relationship? Or did they just went ahead and took her by force? How did the rape (I’m using the term in the court case) take place? And what made them decide to take the reader now, after all these years? Thank you! ☺️
ahh thank you bby!! <33
yes, all three of them are just awful, terrible men and i for one find that very sexy of them hehe
but as for your questions;
no, there wasn't a 'confession' as such. they initially tried to very gently test the waters when they were hanging out together but the reader was kind of oblivious and they were getting nowhere quickly. when they got to the cabin though kuroo went right for it and when she didn't react well... yeah.
as far as the act itself, they had her for three days before she managed to get away. there was no easing into it. that was always their plan – either she was going to be into it and they'd have one hell of a fun week, or she would need a little convincing before she came around.
so kisumi mentioned that the reader left home a while back and had been kind of spotty in terms of where she was – basically trying to outrun the three of them. initially when i started writing this fic i had a scene where kuroo stops by the house and the three of them take to harassing her/following her around until she disappears. so it wasn't so much that they suddenly decided to take her again after years of being apart, but rather that they'd finally found her and managed to pin her down again that spun the events

TW: for sexual assault, death, and just in general.
I just wanted to say that this year has been rough which is why I haven’t been active as much on here as I’d like to be. So here’s a life update as to why life has been putting my through the ringer:
Firstly we have had to put 3 of our pets down in 4 months, we aren’t bad pet owners they were just all my childhood pets so they were getting very old.
All of these pets took a toll on me but last week we had to put down my cat, if you know me well you know that this cat is 17 years old meaning I’ve had her since I was less than a year old. She meant everything to me and she was super empathetic legitimately whenever anyone in the house would cry she would be there to comfort them. Especially me. This has been really hard for me and I expect it to get harder.
We also lost both of our dogs (the rescue and our Shiba Inu) both of which I loved dearly.
Another way this year has put me through the ringer is that last semester my roommate brought in a lot of random people we didn’t know, and just let them stay as long as they wanted even when we were in vulnerable positions. And as someone with a lot of trauma surrounding growing up in a homophobic town, hate crimes, being a victim of SA, and many other reasons, this made me really uncomfortable and I would have to force myself to stay awake even if I had a morning class the next day because I couldn’t fathom falling asleep with people I didn’t know in the room.
One of these people. Let’s call him J, have all of my other roommates and I incredibly bad vibes. And my roommate didn’t know anything about him, just met him in the elevator and told him to come up to our room and hang. Well he came up everyone in the room was immediately uncomfortable, then he had a seizure on our dorm floor. Since I was the only one that knew how to handle the situation, I had to hold him on his side while he was seizing and wait for the paramedics.
This is where it starts to get bad with J: 2 days after the prior incident with him, he comes back to our room unannounced and it is just me and my one roommate who invited him who decides to take a shower leaving me alone with this guy. He thanks me for helping him then offers me a drink (yes alcohol we are college students). And so the alcoholic I am I’m not gonna turn down free booze so I agree. Now I drink it (he drank from the same container prior to me so I thought it was safe) and then my head starts to feel a little fuzzy shortly after. And I am not a light weight so I immediately suspect I’ve been drugged but I’m not about to tell him that. I can push medication fast but this was hitting me. But I stayed awake and pulled out my knife which I hid under the blanket I was under. A while after my roommate gets out of the bathroom and I tell her “hey I wanna watch the kardashians” (I knew J couldn’t stand them from the limited interactions I’ve had) and J goes “guess that’s my cue to leave”.
I kind of brush this whole thing off because again at the time I only suspected I had been drugged I didn’t think much of it. 2 days after that we find out there was a guy drugging people on campus. Then suddenly we are getting texts from friends on campus we rarely talk to who had seen us with J. And I felt sick to my stomach. He had always acted really creepy around me and I’d I hadn’t been who I am, something worse might’ve happened and as someone who’s been a victim before it traumatized me. I sleep with a knife every night now.
Just overall a lot of shit is fucked up but I’m getting better.

Explaining AJ part 2 🦇
Ok this is mostly going to be explaining her relationships with the rest of the cast 
it all starts with Mimzy
Tumblr media
Obviously, AJ knows the other overlords via the meetings and such but I don’t think she cared much for them and half the time she wouldn’t even show up to meetings but I’ll get into that and the second
With Mimzy being a flapper and AJ being a punk, they’re essentially both the mold breakers of their decades, which I feel like they’d be able to like bond over in a sense. Mimzy flair for stirring up trouble also gives AJ more excuses to act and violence, which is her favorite thing to do.  they’re an odd pair aesthetically, but I feel personality wise they bounce off of each other surprisingly well, what can I say AJ loves an instigator 
Speaking of instigators, a friendship with Mimzy opens the door to A.J. friendship with Alastor although friendship, feels like too strong of a word wouldn’t really call them acquaintances though idk
Tumblr media
They already knew each other via overlord meetings. They just never interacted before it Mimzy got involved.  in pointing out they Surprising amount similarities.
Such as
• Hyperviolence
•Having a very specific unknown moral code 
•Despising, one of the vees (i’ll get into that in a second)
•Being aroace 
•Hating being told what to do 
And of course, Alastor becomes endeared to her because he’s a girls girl and AJ is a freak and those are his two favorite things 
Now about the Vees, starting off with vox 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think it’s a really funny, running joke that Vox keeps obsessing over the aroace who want nothing to do with him (I found Alastor a little too relatable, i’m also aroace and I also have been put in the situation of ‘hey I don’t wanna date you please leave me alone’, so this is me venting a bit. because I feel like it’s way too often portrayed from the allosexual‘s perspective and how it’s sad and tragic but in reality, it’s just fucking annoying and inconvenient)
Anyway, vox is a pathetic bisexual disaster, but then again, what else is new I just think it’s really funny that his taste is the most sophisticated man you’ve ever seen and and a woman who looks like she fought her way out of a dumpster 
(also, you can tell that these sketches with Vox are older than the rest that I’ve shown because it was before I fully committed to curling Alastor’s hair just a fun little fact )
Now moving onto the V that AJ actually hates 
Tumblr media
It’s velvet, but you of them are the youngest overlords if I had to roughly guess I’d assume velvet died around 2003 or so 
And most of their beef is really entangled in fundamentals of what they stand for
Velvet is a conformist. She participates and creates trends. She lives by the mold, and even when she’s breaking it, she’s breaking it to establish a new one valve it stands out, doesn’t stem from anything important or anything she believes, and she does it for the notoriety and the look she is fundamentally shallow and she likes it that way
AJ, of course being punk opposes all of that she breaks the mold because it is inherently flawed and believes there shouldn’t be one in the first place she’s alternative not to be cool or stand out from the crowd it’s because of what it represents for her her punk identity is deeply important to her Because when she was alive, she fought for change (she was really hyper violent about it and let her anger cloud her judgment a lot which is why she she is in hell) but that’s neither here nor there 
The point is, they are opposing forces on each other’s identities. They despise each other out of principle, and because they genuinely fucking hate each other. 
Speed round
I don’t have drawings to accompany those ones
Cherrie- has a deep respect for AJ and they also hang out and blow shit up. Sometimes they both got the punk aesthetic
The two of them, rile each other up like there’s no tomorrow  and when left alone together will do something crazy
Rosie- friend of a friend, AJ and Rosie get along fine. The only issue is they have nothing to talk about so they constantly need a third person as a buffer usually Alastor
She will take every opportunity she can get to try to dress AJ up though there’s no stopping that woman
Niffty- AJ loves getting messy Niffty has a need to clean. You can figure it out from there.

This is just for fun probably not gonna do this again. I’ve been watching a lot of kdrama series lately so I thought I’d rate them.
note: My ratings are mostly based on my attention span. If it’s a good show with good characters, I usually look past acting and stick to it. Also, I always finish a series I started because I’m just built that way.
above 5 means it’s watchable, less than 5 means it’s trash and I’m dying.
Some are on going, some finished, some I’m still finishing
1. Destined With You 7/10 (Finished)
Rowoon’s acting man, he keeps it nice and fresh. His chemistry with Jo Boah…chef’s kiss 🤌🏼 So cute. The story isn’t interesting enough for me to pay attention to tho, in fact it makes things confusing. Like do they like each other because they like each other, or because of their past lives, or because of the love spell. Up until the end, the book of spells things had no relevance to the story whatsoever.
2. Strong Girl Nam Soon 7/10 (finishing)
It’s hard not to compare it to strong woman do bong soon, which is like one of the staples of kdrama. Started out way too fast paced, it was giving me a whiplash and then it dragged in the middle. Namsoon and ML has barely any chemistry. It was like they just like each other, like it was already decided they were going to be together from the start. RYU FUCKING SHIO. Carried the fucking show. His little interactions with Namsoon, his back story, him blushing at her. Everything. 2 points just for him. They did him dirty. Why do writers keep doing this? Make us think he has a chance and kill him off at the end? like wtf
3. A Good Day to be A Dog 8/10
Airing once a week makes it hard to remember the story and because of that the recaps takes time off the actual episode. I read parts of the webtoon. The show is very similar except for the part in the past life. Light and funny, but that’s it. Idk in my head i’m comparing it to business proposal (another feel good show) and it just falters in comparison. Also, idk if this is an unpopular opinion but CEW acting isn’t as good as it was in true beauty. I understand the characters are similar but him in true beauty was much better or am i biased? here he seems more stoic and he does this poses in some scenes that feels like he knows he’s good looking and it’s funny to watch 😂 like yes sir you are good looking we get it. Who is directing him to do this.
4. Moon in the Day 6/10
Good but exhausting. Every episode there’s a new plot, new plot twist. It’s trying to be so many things at once and forcing all the pieces to fit in that the main leads are neglected. Tho there are a couple of scenes where they were so cute and adorable but not enough. Before you know it they’re professing love to each other like when did that happen? Is FL the same person she was in her past life or not? Is ML in love with her or because she looks like his wife. The curse thing is also so confusing. Over-explains itself.
5. The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract 6/10
Not enough episodes to have an opinion but with the recent ones, i just think it’s cute. It’s cute and fun. Nothing that makes me excited to watch it again. It’s always the last I watch on fridays and saturdays. I like the actors. But the ML feels like a miscast. I know he’s a good actor but he just feels way too boy next door-y. Which is so confusing because I could’ve sworn I’ve watched him in another show where he was a chaebol and he was fine. Idk if it was the director’s fault but he just doesn’t feel like a rich chaebol ceo yet. Hopefully he falls into the character more in the next episodes. FL is so freaking beautiful tho and her acting 📈
6. My Demon 9/10
Visual Couple, Funny story, amazing scene. Also props to the writers and directors like how they thought of tango/fighting scene is beyond me. It’s currently the only one i’m excited to keep watching. And the story isn’t too complicated that it’s confusing to understand and still feels logical, even though it’s fantasy. 100% recommend you jump into the bandwagon. could be 10/10 if happy ending but we’ll have to wait for that.
7. My man is cupid 7/10
Feels like my demon. I like it. I kinda like my demon more not sure why. I think my demon keeps us in out toes while this show is more of a slowburn. It just feels like any other fantasy show rn obviously it’s only been two episode but still interesting. Attractive actors. Nana is so freaking pretty. ML and SL is also good looking.
8. The Matchmakers 6/10
trying to focus while watching it. It’s very slow paced and I have the attention span of a fish. That being said there some funny scenes that made me topple over laughing but I think I’m going to wait until all episodes are out and finish it.
9. Castaway Diva 8/10 (finishing)
Just started but already the scenes are so pretty. PEB can literally make me watch anything of hers she’s such a good actress. Story is very fresh and easy to watch. Don’t know who ML is yet but I have a feeling it’s not my pick. Woo Hak just goes above and beyond for her, if he’s not Ki Ho (?) I’m going to be so angry. Does FL have to always end up with the childhood love?? To hell with star-crossed lovers.
10. Perfect Marriage Revenge 6/10
It started out good and then it was just exhausting to watch. Every problems have easy solutions that the antagonists don’t really feel like villains. Very telenovela-y. I did read the webtoon so the story wasn’t that much of a surprise. I do however have a bone to pick. I am very confident in Sung Hoon’s acting skills. I’ve watched his other series previously. So why…Why is he making his voice lower than it is 😂 It’s so obvious it’s funny. I try to ignore but in some scenes where he’s supposed to be angry, it sounds more like he’s growling. I can’t take him seriously at all.
