#because that's literally the vibe of this video

[sturniololuvz]

Could you do one where reader had a cryptic pregnancy and she had stomach aches all day like bad so she went to the hospital with Matt/chris and she had a whole baby get creative

okay!!!

“Guess What, It’s a Baby”

⸻

You’d had stomachaches before. Cramps, food poisoning, stress—it wasn’t new. But today felt different. Like your organs were in an argument and your spine was the battlefield.

You curled up on the couch, groaning into a pillow as Chris walked into the apartment holding two smoothies and a bag of chips. He stopped mid-step.

“Uh… babe? You good?”

“I think my stomach’s trying to murder me,” you groaned. “Like not regular cramps. Like call-the-ER-but-don’t-because-it’s-probably-nothing vibes.”

Chris dropped everything and sat beside you, brows furrowed. “Did you eat something weird? You didn’t eat those leftover tacos, right?”

“No, I didn’t eat anything. I swear it feels like something’s ripping inside me. I don’t know, it’s bad, Chris.”

Within minutes, you were in the passenger seat of his car, gripping your stomach, while Chris sped toward the ER.

“I don’t care if it’s gas or the apocalypse,” he said, glancing over at you. “You don’t look okay. I’m not risking this.”

⸻

At the hospital

You were clutching your side, half-sweating, half-shaking, when the nurse asked:

“Any chance you could be pregnant?”

Chris literally laughed out loud. “No, definitely not.”

“I’m on birth control,” you added, breathless. “I get my period.”

But the nurse still gave you that look. “Let’s just do an ultrasound to be safe.”

You and Chris exchanged the most unhinged glance.

“I swear if I’m pregnant right now,” you whispered, “I’m suing someone.”

Five minutes later, the ultrasound tech stared at the screen.

Then she turned it toward you and said calmly:

“Congratulations… you’re in active labor.”

Chris’s eyes bugged out. “WHAT?!”

“I’m WHAT?!” you shrieked. “No—I have no bump! I still fit in my jeans! I thought this was, like, gas or a kidney stone!”

“Nope,” she said cheerfully. “That’s a head. You’re going to have a baby today.”

Chris stood frozen, mouth open. “Bro. What the f—”

“CHRIS! Focus!”

“Right! Okay! Right, I’m focused. There’s a baby. There’s a baby?? There’s a baby!”

⸻

Delivery Room – 30 Minutes Later

“I am so confused,” you cried, gripping the sides of the bed as contractions rolled through you. “I didn’t even get cravings! I didn’t nest! I haven’t even watched one parenting video on TikTok!”

Chris held your hand and kissed your forehead. “It’s okay. You didn’t know. I didn’t know. Apparently no one knew. But we’re here now. And I’m right here with you, okay?”

“Are you gonna pass out?”

“Maybe. But not until you do first.”

You gave a shaky laugh through the pain. “That’s not comforting.”

But Chris didn’t let go of you for a second.

⸻

One push, one scream, one very emotional Chris later…

A cry filled the room. A tiny, real, life-changing cry.

A nurse wrapped the baby and placed them in your arms. You blinked in disbelief.

Chris stared at the tiny bundle like he was seeing a sunrise for the first time. “No way. No way.”

You looked at him, dazed. “I just had a whole-ass baby. Without knowing.”

He wiped tears off his cheeks, laughing through them. “We’re idiots. But you—holy shit, you’re incredible.”

You looked down at the baby. “Hi. Um. Sorry for not knowing you existed for nine months.”

The nurse smiled. “That’s a cryptic pregnancy for you.”

Chris leaned over and whispered, “Guess what… it’s a baby.”

You looked at him, exhausted and in shock. “We’re gonna need diapers.”

⸻

Later That Night

Chris’s Instagram Story:

picture of him holding the baby with the caption:

“Showed up at the hospital thinking she had bad cramps. Left with a daughter. No, I’m not kidding. Yes, she’s perfect.”

What it should mean to support ALL survivors—Fandom discourse and the depiction of sexual assault in media.

So. Okay.

Below is a video that, in my opinion, is a very well thought out and respectful critique of the writing decisions surrounding Angel Dust’s character and purpose in Hazbin’s narrative.

The author of the video does a great job clearly stating their thoughts and opinions, and put a lot of effort into explaining their reasoning in a concise and easy to understand way.

I really recommend giving it a watch—(TW for discussions of rape, sexual assault and abuse. )

However, one of the most important things about this video though, is that the author, Limus, takes the time to specify that the video is only her opinion, and that she does not want to invalidate the feelings of other people or survivors who like or feel represented by Angel Dust. (More below)

In their conclusion, Limus states, “…If you enjoyed “Hazbin Hotel” and Angel Dust as a character, that’s fine. I don’t want you to walk away from this thinking your opinion is less than mine. People have their own reasons for liking media, and the discourse surrounding this show and the harassment that people receive just for liking it is unacceptable. You can have your reasons for disliking a show, but people can also have their reasons for liking it as well. Everything I have said in this video is in relation to my own personal life…”

I was REALLY glad and really relieved that Limus took the time to specify this, because one of my biggest grievances with the discourse regarding Hazbin’s depictions of sexual abuse, assault and rape, is that I see a LOT of people, both critics and fans, disregarding the experiences and feelings of survivors with opinions opposite to theirs.

Specifically, I saw a LOT of people talking about the portrayal of sexual abuse in Hazbin, and media in general, as if it was something that could be judged as being OBJECTIVELY “good” or “bad”.

And then proceeding to argue with people over their opinions and feelings as if they were in some sort of debate and the other person’s beliefs could be disproven.

This was really frustrating to me, because I’m hyper-aware of how media is extremely subjective especially when it comes to serious topics like sexual assault, violence, substance addiction, abuse, etc. etc.

So, I’m going to talk, in detail, about what I see as a lot of hypocrisy within fandom and critical spaces.

This really started in January of this year (2024) when a trailer (or maybe a leak? Sorry I can’t remember) for Hazbin came out, and a scene from Poison was shown.

There were a lot of people who were really concerned with the way Angel Dust’s abuse was shown in the preview, a good amount of them survivors of sexual abuse themselves, and from there the discourse got pretty out of hand.

Worst of all though, people, both fans and critics, allegedly started demanding “proof” of survivor’s assault from those they disagreed with.

This was very gross behavior, and I don’t care what your opinion on Hazbin Hotel is, NO ONE should have done that. It’s not only incredibly invalidating, but also potentially re-traumatizing.

Seriously. I hope ANYONE who engaged in this behavior, REGARDLESS of if they love Hazbin and think it’s the best thing in the world or if they hate it and think it’s the worst piece of media ever, were able to take a step back and realize how hurtful and inappropriate their actions were. And hopefully grow from that.

What disappointed me the most though was seeing Hazbin’s creator’s reaction to all of this. It was, in my opinion, very hypocritical and set the stage for the sort of harassment that is continuing in the fandom today.

A Disclaimer—this is going to be one of the ONLY TIMES I talk directly about the creator of Hazbin Hotel, Vivienne “Vivziepop” Medrano. I’m doing so because she was engaging directly and openly with this discourse when it was happening, and I think it’s important to talk about her actions and reactions because it provides some context for the background in regards to the ongoing conversations surrounding Hazbin’s SA depictions.

I generally do not like publicly talking about or making judgements on creators as people based on the art they create, because while a creator’s art is almost always influenced by their personality and experiences, it’s not a good way to judge someone’s ENTIRE character. All people are multi-faceted, and the art or media we create usually reflects only part of someone. Additionally, people use art, fiction, and media to explore all kinds of things, including things they would never do or want in real life, and that’s valid and normal. Obviously.

But when a creator publicly expresses an opinion in regards to ongoing discourse, of course people are allowed to discuss it and have their own opinions. Especially when that creator has a lot of fans who look to them as a role-model. Not saying that Vivziepop is responsible for actions of her fans, but when you are a public figure like she is, I do think it’s important to be as mindful as you can about your influence.

With all of that said. Yeah. I was. Incredibly disappointed by Vivziepop’s reaction to this. Because, I actually do agree with a lot of the things she was saying about supporting survivors—

I 100% agree with this. Everyone processes trauma differently, and that should be respected. We should not judge survivors for how they cope or process their trauma.

If this statement was made in response to the all judgement and struggles that survivors generally have to deal with, I would not have any issue with it whatsoever.

But. It wasn’t. Vivziepop said this because people were criticizing Hazbin Hotel—specifically there were survivors who were upset and triggered by scenes from the musical sequence “Poison” that leaked prior to Hazbin’s official release.

Now, obviously, I can’t know her true intent or beliefs. But her bringing all of this up after she had received criticism from survivors about her show leads me to believe that she doesn’t really care about supporting all survivors. Especially since after she said this, she proceeded to dismiss the concerns that several survivors brought to her because “the show hadn’t come out yet”.

To me, this is just hypocrisy.

Now, to be fair. Im also an artist. I understand feeling like your art or story is your baby, and feeling really protective of it. In some ways I was conflicted when all of this was happening back in January, because I get the frustration and hurt that comes with people not liking your art or not giving it a chance.

That can be very disheartening, and definitely feels unfair. I can empathize with Vivziepop in regard to that, because I don’t know how I would handle the amount of criticism her art gets. I’ve had my art criticized pretty harshly online, and it does really hurt. I really can’t imagine how emotionally taxing that is on such a large scale.

But with all of that said, at the end of the day, as creator, especially a creator making something for widespread international audiences, you have to learn how to be okay with the fact that your art, whether it’s music, visual arts, storytelling, or whatever, will not be universally loved. That’s pretty much impossible, and it’s also okay.

And while you obviously don’t have to listen to EVERY bit of criticism you receive, I do think it is vitally important to listen to criticism and concerns when they come from a whole group of people you are trying to represent.

This was Vivziepop’s response to survivors of sexual assault who asked to have their concerns about Angel Dust and the portrayal of his assault also taken seriously:

In my opinion, these replies are all really dismissive. I agree with everything Vivziepop said about survivors who felt represented being spoken over was also wrong. But these are survivors being open about how Vivziepop’s show has already affected them negatively, and the fear that their reactions to and opinions on the show will be, or in some cases—have already been, invalidated and called into question by the Hazbin fandom.

Vivzie’s response to them is that the show hasn’t come out yet, so they are getting upset “preemptively”. It really comes across like their concerns did not matter to Vivziepop, and like it didn’t matter to her that they had already been triggered or felt as if the handling of the scene was fetishistic based on what came out.

She states that her fans are “speaking out on their own experiences and reminding that the scene isn’t out yet”. I’m not denying that some fans do feel represented, but to me, it doesn’t, and didn’t matter if the show hadn’t come out yet.

The full episode can’t magically ���take back” the fact that a lot of survivors saw this small clip on its own and it was enough to affect them. And that is just as valid of an experience as people who felt represented.

And listen. No group of people is a monolith and that includes survivors. People WILL have many differing opinions about the way sensitive topics are portrayed, especially when it’s as traumatic as sexual assault and abuse.

I am not saying Vivziepop should have somehow magically concocted a show that handles sexual assault objectively perfectly and pleases every survivor ever. That’s impossible, and I would NEVER ask or expect ANYONE to be able to do that.

But, it’s very clear to me in the interactions above that the people who were upset only wanted their opinions and experiences to be heard and respected as well, and they were essentially told that their feelings didn’t matter.

And to me, Vivziepop’s reaction to all of this was really giving Sia circa 2020:

I really think that, a lot of this could have been mitigated if someone from the Hazbin team, not even necessarily Vivziepop, had just acknowledged, “hey, you’re absolutely in your right to not like the scene and those feelings are valid”.

But there is a very strange sort of hypocrisy that is almost like. Tinted with virtue signaling*??? About listening to all survivors voices, while simultaneously dismissing the voices of survivors that are saying they have already been hurt.

THAT is what bothers me the most. It really seems like the only survivors that a lot of people involved in this discourse, including Vivziepop, were willing to listen to or validate were the ones that already agreed with them.

If you are going to support survivors you DO have to ACTUALLY SUPPORT ALL survivors. Even if they disagree with you.

If you’re still with me, I really really appreciate it. I felt I had to go over all of this to add context, because the concerns those survivors talked about over 10 months ago, foreshadowed the EXACT situation that some people in the Hazbin fandom have now put Limus in.

All because, after the episode came out, they expressed their honest opinions on the subject matter and the way Angel Dust was written in a way fans disagreed with.

I find it really disturbing that, the whole point of Vivziepop’s dismissal was that the show hadn’t come out, and that she said she would “respect” if people had concerns AFTER it came out. But I haven’t really seen any acknowledgment from her that survivors, who after seeing the whole scene, were still negatively affected.

The below is a tweet Vivziepop liked shortly after the episode came out in full.

I agree that any survivors who felt seen by Angel Dust and the show and were invalidated and had their experiences dismissed and questioned by others deserve apologies. But I can’t help but think about the fans who didn’t feel the same, who were hurt, and triggered by the depiction of SA before AND after the show released. I don’t want to read to much into likes, because people like shit for all sorts of reasons, but Vivziepop liking this tweet saying she deserves an apology too does rub me the wrong way, especially after she was told that survivors have ALREADY been hurt.

Don’t those people deserve apologies too? Or at the very least just an acknowledgment that their hurt and concern was valid?? It just comes off to me as a confirmation that Vivziepop doesn’t really want to listen to ALL survivors, just the ones that haven’t criticized her and praised her show.

To clarify—just as Limus did at the end of her video—I AM NOT SAYING THAT SA SURVIVORS WHO DIDNT LIKE THE SHOW’S HANDLING OF SA ARE THE “CORRECT” SURVIVORS AND THAT PEOPLE WHO FELT SEEN AND REPRESENTED BY ANGEL DUST AND THE SHOWS WRITING ARE “WRONG”.

The WHOLE POINT of me going over ALL of this is to take a look at the hypocrisy of many people both in the fandom and outside of it who SAY they care about ALL survivors feelings and experiences, but then call those experiences into question the MOMENT a survivor has an opinion different than their own.

And sadly, I personally believe the creator of Hazbin also contributed hugely to this hypocrisy.

When we look at what happened in January, it now feels weirdly prescient. People are treating Limus’ opinion as if she is personally attacking them, or saying that their experiences are invalid. She did not do that.

It also seems like a lot of people who like Angel Dust and feel he represents them are taking Limus’ critique of the character writing decisions made for Angel Dust, who is not a real person and does not exist, as personal attacks on their real lived experiences. She did not do that either. She was extremely clear that her opinions were in regards to the way Angel Dust was written as a character.

But because Limus critiqued Angel Dust, her experience with abuse has been called into question, just like the above survivors that were concerned about all of this way back in January. This is absolutely fucking unacceptable.

I am saying this to CRITICS AND FANS of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, and fuck it, honestly ALL fandoms—If you have engaged in this sort of behavior, you have got to stop. I think the love and passion you have for the art that is important to you is beautiful and wonderful. But NOTHING justifies treating other people this way. It does not matter how much you love a certain character or how much they comfort you or what solace you find in them. There is NO EXCUSE for bullying and harassing someone over this shit.

I am saying this fully aware that it may cause people to get mad at me and want to send me hate. And honestly that’s fine. I will deal with it if it comes. But I couldn’t sit here and watch so many people shit on someone for talking about their experiences and opinions again.

Please, if you find the tweets/threads I referenced in this post, DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THEM OR HARASS THE POSTERS. This whole long massive post was all about why we should NOT do that.

When these conversations happen, I often see people just. Putting words into other’s mouths like it’s an Olympic sport. If someone says they don’t like the way Angel is written, they are not saying your experiences are invalid. If someone says they love the way Angel is written, they are not saying you have to love him and feel represented by him too.

Please. Please try to empathize with each other. Or at the very least, maybe just take some time to sit with your feelings instead of harassing others. I’m using Hazbin as an example because it’s a fandom I’ve had experience with recently, but this really does apply to all fandoms.

As I final note—if you love Angel Dust and think he’s the best written character and feel really represented and seen by him, that’s wonderful and I’m really happy to hear that the show was cathartic or comforting for you. Genuinely.

And if you hated the way Angel Dust was written and the show triggered you, I am so sorry that happened. It is so painful to re-live trauma like that, and I hope any that pain you felt from being reminded of what happened eased quickly and gently.

Both of your experiences and opinions are completely valid, and you have every right to express your opinions to others. Your trauma is real, and however you process it and cope with it should not be judged by anyone.

I just ask that we all be more respectful, and try to be curious about other’s perspectives regarding this stuff.

Thank you again for bearing with me through all of this. I hope you have a great day or night.

*I really really HATE the term “virtue signaling” because in MOST cases, I only ever see it being used to dismiss minorities and allies concerns about injustices. But, given the circumstances of this situation, I do think it’s actually appropriate here, given that survivors where expressing their concerns to Vivziepop and she was justifying her dismissal of them by saying the show hadn’t come out yet, and then went on to say that all survivors mattered. I don’t know whatever word I should have used, other than it just being hypocritical. Again I hate that term, and wouldn’t be using it here if I didn’t really believe it was appropriate and accurate.

Why do you feel strongly about Dib having no surname?

OH. ughhhggpppffttttt- SORRY the posts i know wont be seen i assume will end up being just for me so i always talk in those ones as if everyone knows what im talking about so ahahh my bad for that srry so yeahhhhiiiIIIIIII really appreciate this ask a lot XDDDD

i LOVE LOVE LOVED the way it simply makes dib look like his own character separated by his family. Its silly. I know..... as someone who doesn't have the........best.........household situation and idea of "family" that is super pushed onto most in my country when i just want to be my own person because I AM (i am a stan of found family irl as well as in fiction) that ALSO- just so HAPPENS to have pulled through my childhood BECAUSE of how realistically the series portrayed dynamics in Dib's household and well... the idea of family itself....

I just have.... personal issues.... with the fact they GAVE Dib a family name when it was so much funnier and meaningful to me that they purposely didn't come up with one for whatever reason. I just.... would have preferred.... if they never really did....

For me it was also just a fun meta gag that no one knew Dib's surname if he even had one... i know there's literally just one gag about it in the show but i think it's lovely....

And it's just- you know??? DIB!!! IT'S DIB IT'S DIB IT'S JUST THE DIB! i think its cute for some reason to have a character who's name is so short it's literally only three letters long and decide not to give him a surname!!! It's Dib!!!! Dib's name is iconic and melodic enough on its own <333333333 no need to add more to it!!! He's just *zim voice* THE DIIIIIIBBBBBB!!! :3333333 :DDDDDD It just sounds so silly willy to me like this :3333333

But you're in luck!!! There's a video that explains it far better than i ever could!!

genshin fandom are HEAVILY sleeping on audhd ajax childe tartaglia

(headcanons in the read more!)

i meaaaan;

stimming - he likes making stuff out of water and fidgeting with them, especially if he's bored; spinning water weapons (like he does in one of his idle animations), making little water creatures (he probably makes them fight), mimicking things around him/in his mind out of water - he messes with his cape as a stim (like in that other idle animation) - him just repeating something just because he likes saying it, like 'coco goat' or some word zhongli taught him impulsivity - THE most impulsive guy ever - impulsive to the point where he'll just throw himself into danger because he has free will - will see some big horrifying monster, think 'i wonder if i could take that' (in a fight), then will attack unless someone stops him - constantly gets himself into trouble because he reacts before he thinks - i headcanon that him using foul legacy against the traveler was him genuinely losing his shit and wasn't planned

(and he probably just laid on the roof of the golden house like 'owww ouagh owww' until the battle with osial was done... also zhongli was watching liyue defend itself on a nearby mountain, like how a worried mother might watch her kids cook for the first time, and just happened to see the orange cat on the roof) hyperactivity - has a brain that never stops - ultra instincts adhd, like rick riordan says - if he ever stops moving, he'll die - complains if he has to stay still - probably fidgets non-stop - the tsaritsa is an ally and has plenty of random crap to fiddle with on harbinger coats socializing - canonically the odd one out among his peers (granted, his peers are all scheming goth people) - i swear he (canonically) constantly misses social cues and takes things literally... - he misses social cues more than he misses crits - blunt and straightforward, and prefers that way of communicating - headcanon that zhongli lying to him actually hurt his feelings and his reaction was genuine... (and that reaction is a little too relatable, as someone who's neurodivergent... 😔🤨) - this is probably an english-only thing, but his little 'haha' in stressful circumstances is him masking/coping with the situation and doing a brain reset, or just his default 'how the fuck am i meant to react to that' response (citation: I DO THAT!!) - somehow masks and unmasks at the same time, like how he's wearing his literal mask on his head - will just come out with the most profound and deep truths, this jumpscares people (especially ones who think he's a total dumbass) - childe unmasking is just him with no expression, doing things in almost complete silence, even before the abyss he brought the vibe to the function that neurotypicals hate - ^ he'll never unmask around his fellow harbingers because he doesn't like them but also he likes annoying them hyperfixations/special interests - easy 'he's obsessed with battle' connection, c'mannn - and easy 'he's got an interest in weaponry', duhhhh - but imagine him just being able to identify any fish, too. - hyperfixated on liyue history, cuisine and culture during his stay there, probably kept getting zhongli to talk about whatever he was hyperfixating on that week (btw zhongli's autistic too, it's because he's hot, sorry i don't make the rules) - picks up 1 million hobbies and hyperfixates on them either for a week or until he's mastered them (the one week ones get shelved until he masters them) nerfed by celestia, AKA idk what to title this section - i just can't see childe being able to sit there and finish paperwork like a regular guy - northland bank managers fear him (he hands in paperwork one minute before the deadline) - pulcinella probably handles his important harbinger documents because childe lost too many of them - exchanged his quick moving and dodging in battle for a weekly sacrifice (he trips over something or breaks things through clumsiness; him and lynette are comrades in arms for breaking machines) - his sleep schedule is that he doesn't have one - he turns into some hunter-gatherer eater, unless someone with a normal routine is around, then he follows them and has regular meals at regular times (as opposed to him cooking borscht at 11AM

OH WAIT TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE HELLO!!

First one was the lie! rapiers are beautifully elegant, but i prefer something a little sturdier!! i love the shape of cutlasses :)

Second was a truth! i love Od.ore Orch.estra!! specifically, this version from pro.ject sekai (my favorite group covers it!), but the original is also stellar :3!! its literally such a fun song, it brings me a lot of joy <3

Third was a truth! vanilla is in fact my favorite scent!! despite it being my sona's symbol, lavender is not a scent i have a strong connection to, i just think their calming symbolism is sweet and i use the flowers to represent my sona <33 but i do bake often, and the smell of vanilla is so warm and comforting to me. cinnamon is a close second place!!

Ngl learning that there's someone out there with actual filmed evidence/footage of Stan Lee suffering elder abuse from the people around him and is now using it in a documentary on kickstarter...is just making me feel so angry at the person with the footage??? They have actual footage and therefore evidence for the elder abuse Stan suffered until he died, they could have used it to help Stan Lee and expose the elder abuse early on, they could have used it sooner then six-seven years later! But no, they just shove it on a kickstarter and ask for around $300,000 just to finish the documentary with the footage in it, listing stuff that it's needed for that I don't think they even need like can that someone explain why they need set construction in a documentary meant to expose the elder abuse Stan Lee suffered in his final years??? It's putting literal evidencea and footage behind a pay wall of a-lot of money and that someone acting like they give a shit, when moist cr1tikal literally caught in the trailer that someone seemingly joining in the abuse with some joke attempts and acting like they couldn't do anything but film the abuse when they could have tried at least to show the footage/evidence to people who could do something.

[ranseur]

fyi at least half of the "stay at home girlfriend" posts are satire so it's much less of a Thing than it seems - the sincere tradwife-type content tends to be more focused on how They Personally Prefer to spend time with their children etc. (so focusing on the them Wanting the Traditional Life vs. Not wanting to work etc.), it's more insidious

interesting! let me know if there's some deep dive i can look into this topic more- based on what you're saying there's more to it than initial impressions imply mostly I'm curious that you've brought up disconnecting them philosophically from tradwives when, for sure, I had the impression that tradwives and sah-gfs were similar in their outspoken willingness to discard certain women's rights. though, I can see how they differ in other ways. if one group is more likely to isolate and homeschool their kids and feed them raw milk (if that's what you were implying when you said 'how They Personally Prefer), while the other group 'just' wants an unlimited credit card. cause i was wondering why it was that one group keeps calling themselves 'girlfriends' rather than 'wives'. i guess it would make sense if they're saying they don't care about making a family like trad wives tend to fwiw though, since I don't know much, i think what you're saying is fair: to be cautious of how these groups are different, and especially which ones are more likely to stem from a broader political motivation. though, concerning the post itself which was more just about the sah-gfs, i thought it brought up an important discussion about 'eroticizing gender inequality'. even if by comparison, sah-gfs may not be as large or insidious as tradwives, i think it's still something worth talking about.

but i could change my mind about anything i said above. definitely feel free to send me some links for further reading

5sos: puts HBG on the dice

5sos: has to play HBG

5sos: surprised pikachu face

No because those men took a glorified beach ball the size of Luke, slapped a song they actively hate and they think we like because of the chanting (hbg), 2 songs a lot of people talk about in social media and we do actively like (wayf and iydk), a song they never played before that is somewhat popular on 5sostok for conspiracy theories about who it is about (ela) and 2 songs I have no idea how even ended up on the mix (voodoo doll and heartache) and decided that literally throwing that in the audience would be a great idea. A tour doesn't need a surprise song, they made a conscious decision of making the dice, then they pick the songs on said dice and go all when it lands on half of them.

Like dudes what the hell did you think was gonna happen? That you could cheat your way into not playing it the whole tour? If you don't want to play the song don't make it an option, is not like y'all are not pretending half your discography doesn't exist, put hbg in that box and tell the people chanting for it to get over themselves. It's your show, you make the rules. If you hate a song don't fucking make it an option.
