#because without proof why the hell would she have any reason to believe me that saving someone's life is a bad thing

[bluerosesburnblue]

1. I have a question for you about Tru Calling for fun, if you want:) So, as you know, they tried to keep the stuff with Tru and Jack not as black and white as it might have initially seemed. Everyone at first surely would have wanted to be on Tru's side because she saved lives and Jack took them, or so it seemed. But Jack did raise some good points about how there could be drastic consequences to what Tru did. Maybe not with a few saves. But that when they started stacking up.

2. Tru thought that Jack was messing with fate. But he thought that she was. And actually, when the writers revealed some of their plans for the show, I think it was somewhat revealed that JACK was right about this part of it. And that the writers had somewhat based their lore on "Paradise Lost." Tru WAS messing with fate/what the gods wanted or whatever. But their lore had it so there were a few times that you could do that before things started to drastically shift (paraphrasing there). 3. And I think the original writer's post about this might have gotten taken down, sadly. But my question is, knowing all of this, if you had to choose a side: who were you with? Tru or Jack?;)

Ah, I remember us talking about this. And the thing is, I think it really depends on how much you trust these Powers That Be. Are the ones in control of the universe right? Benevolent? At least in terms of what we got to know in the show, it's almost impossible to say, so I really don't know whose side I'd be on. Both are just acting in accordance with what they think is right (short-term salvation of a single life vs. long-term good for all) and who actually is is dependent on that nebulous end goal of the gods

It's just the trolley problem. If Tru saves one life, but it dooms others because of how fate works, then can we really say she's right or wrong? Is the gods' true future "right" if it means that innocents have to die? And I don't think, in this instance, that there's meant to be an answer (or, at least, there hadn't been one we were meant to see yet at the point things were cancelled). And it's a real shame that the show didn't go on for longer to actually start delving into these things, and who gave Tru and Jack their powers and why, because if it did I might actually be able to come up with an answer

If this kind of philosophical question interests you, though, then I'd definitely recommend checking out the webcomic One Last God: Kubera. It's a bit of a long one, but the main crux of the plot actually is this exact issue. It may not look it at first, but as of the current updates it's apparent that the plot is a battle between a god who always tries to get the "best future" in every universe, even if this "best future" means sacrificing the lives of countless good people (and no one even knows what "best" means), and a goddess of chaos who wants him to fail. The whole thing is even referred to as a "game" between them, and our main characters are the "pieces" who slowly learn more about why things are the way that they are and if either of the gods are really right. And, thankfully, it looks like this story will actually be able to go on long enough to talk about the implications of it

Oh I am having, so so many thoughts about the Hunter yeeted to the human realm AU of the princess AU (Good Lord this Au has so many AUs which is why we love it) Assuming this happens as like, a part of the year of hell and near the end of it (like, just prior to mainline aus patricide) Hunter is just going to be, a complete wreck, especially depending on what Belos tells him about why he was sent (which if it makes Luz look bad he won't believe but might nonetheless fuck with him) and one, dealing with being locked in Camila's basement.

Things would probably end up very very murder the Emperor very quickly (ie once he's satisfied he has her sufficiently 'under control' and the second Luz gets the oportunity )... so this might end up being a very short lived situation. But... Belos being the inconsiderate jerk he is used some fancy spell where if he dies it blows up idk he wouldn't want it being used after his death though that's for sure) so Luz is stuck being The Empress (assuming things go well) without her Hunter there for her. Maybe like in some other AUs she would have Amity's (maybe dragging her in on the patricide plan) but that's it... the poor baby.

Amity (depending on her situation) might be trying to help in the same way Hunter does but is failing miserably for all of the reasons whilst being slowly driven insane. I can see Luz going to Darius and Raine for help if for no other reason than that she has nobody else.

But I'm imagining, after several months of barely getting through the day... with the adults around her barely keeping her functional, with Amity having fallen into the role of "be in the room when she has nightmares and try not to panic about anything" Hunter returns with Camila (and maybe Vee depending on how things go in the human realm) in tow.

"Heyy... sorry about being in another dimension for the past few months not not successfully killing Belos on the spot so I could be with you I will consider this a personal failing for the rest of my life.... But i did just bring back a wayyy better parental figure who... by sheer coincidence, is your actual Mom."- Hunter probably

from this concept

it's been a couple days since you sent this but i'm still thinking about all of this. trying to imagine what belos tells hunter.... my main thought is it paralleling what he tells luz in TTT. "thank you so much for all your help, hunter. but i don't need you anymore. and Neither Does She"

coming off the year of hell and all of luz's secrecy, hunter would For Sure interpret this as "belos has started physically abusing luz and has no intention of stopping." to say he'd be frantic is. An Understatement. in the main timeline canon he assumes belos killed luz without any provocation... having Actual Proof that belos has cruel intentions toward her would make him. well.

Very Upset! to say the least!

i'm not sure if he'd actually end up locked in camila's basement here, though. he clearly can't GO anywhere else. and he's in a Damn State. after her initial panic, once she'd calmed down and gotten up to speed on the situation, vee would be.... perhaps not Fully understanding, but at least less afraid. like. i think she'd lock her own door and she'd carry around a weapon whenever she went downstairs for snacks, but i dunno if they'd go the full imprisonment route.

unless hunter offered. which.... now that i'm thinking about it, he Absolutely would. hunter being like i know humans hate witches and you especially have reason to hate me but if you can get me back to the isles then you can do whatever you want to me. i won't fight i Promise

meanwhile luz is frantically trying to get to the human realm because belos is so confident that there are still witch hunters there & she does Not remember enough about modern human society to dispute it. amity For Sure clocks that luz killed belos, the same way she does in the main timeline. and she ALSO has a vested interest in getting hunter back (because he is her best friend) because she needs a rival who can best her in combat. AND she's trying to keep lilith together, which means she's often in proximity to luz anyway. so there's a lot of opportunity for her to be like. luz. are you okay?? you Have to pull it together

i think raine would insert themself politically even if luz didn't ask, because she CANNOT focus on policy right now. and it is sort of important for her to focus on policy while she's trying to govern. darius meanwhile has a similar interest to amity in getting to the human realm because what do you MEAN belos tossed his kid the little shit into hostile territory and abandoned him???

man. the sheer amount of relief luz would experience when hunter comes back. Unparalleled. girls who are going to throw themselves on him and burst into tears in the middle of the throne room.....

I really do hope that more evidence is coming forward soon because I do admit, the fact that both Brody and Trevor are out for the week does seem sketchy. But so does the way that all of these allegations came out. It only seems to be talked about on Instagram and Reddit and nowhere else.

that’s what i’m saying-all of this is so sketchy. maybe it’s inconvenient timing? but there’s so many things wrong with this that point me to believe it isn’t true

First off there’s so many inconsistencies within the posts. Nobody has shown any actual proof other than someone claiming they know where Brody went to college. But since I’m a bit of an ‘I need evidence’ kind of person, I figured I’d check it out. They claim he went to UF but I found nothing about him going to UF online. Second, why is it JUST Brody they’re going after? They’re claiming the cast is “full of r*pists” but they aren’t focused on anyone but Brody.

Second, you think that there would be a news outlet talking about this. I mean, rape allegations are serious and should be handled as such. So it’s weird that Instagram is the first place this all came out. The night after the Tony’s nonetheless. There was no concrete proof either. This chick just said that she ‘knew it and that everyone else did too’ when she was contacted by the actual musical themselves (at one of the producers at least)

Third off is the accuser’s response to any form of criticism. Normally in a case like this, it would make sense to show evidence when faced with criticism and skepticism and be like ‘okay, yes, this is why this happened’ and instead she doubled down and said shit like ‘oh where’s your address so I can mail you a clown suit’ and ‘everyone knows it’ without proving anything.

Fourthly Angelina Jolie is the producer of this. She stands with victims and is fairly open about it. If there was even an inkling that Brody did this don’t you think she’d fire him on the spot? There are also claims of police involvement and investigation but I’ve found no such thing. The original accuser fails to provide sourcing-which is also suspicious. You’d think she’d provide sourcing on where she gets her information but she doesn’t. You’d think she would have solid concrete evidence rather than just doubling down and saying ‘that’s what happened’. That’s the kind of shit you do when like-your sibling hits you and they’re lying about it by saying ‘oh it happened everyone knows it’ without providing solid evidence.

Fifthly, there was another post that the cast was talking about how they were gonna win best musical and everyone else could leave-you saw the video of Brody ripping his shirt off and speed changing into his tux for the Best Actor Award. There was no way he had any involvement in that at least. And secondly, I seriously don’t think any of them had time for that. I really don’t.

Sixthly, I met some of the cast when I went. They were all super nice and when they saw me with my cane they asked me if they could do the face touching thing and were perfectly okay when I said no. And from what I’ve heard Brody is like that too and asks for consent before touching a fan. Heard this from a few people.

It’s really suspicious that this all only comes to light after they won best musical. It’s more suspicious that they’re only going after Brody and nobody else. They say the cast is full of r*pists but then refuse to provide names other than Brody Grant. And there were people that were super pissed that Suffs and Hell’s kitchen didn’t win the Best Musical Award. So it could be plausible that people are trying to take them down for whatever reason. Maybe because they’re men and won. I dunno.

I’m of course not saying it didn’t happen. I was SA’ed when I was younger by my late grandfather. I know how hard it is to want to come forward about these things. But it’s extremely sketchy the way these things played out. I do admit that Brody taking a step back is awfully suspicious too. But I don’t have insight on that and I don’t feel like stalking this poor man’s whereabouts. He could be taking a break-I mean, it’s been a few months. He could be on vacation. Who knows? And there have been many, many times that people have lied about rape for clout. Like the Kwite situation a few years back. Now am I saying this didn’t happen? No. No Im not. Am I saying this is extraordinarily sketchy and that there’s no solid evidence this girl provided? Yes. Yes I am.

I’m not saying anyone did or didn’t do anything until it’s been proven by an actual news source and not some girl on IG. But if these allegations are true, of course I hope Brody gets fired and serves prison time for what he’s done. If not, I hope her IG account gets taken down and she serves time. Accusing an innocent person of r*pe should be just as illegal as the crime they’re being accused of. That could ruin someone’s whole life.

This whole thing is sketchy. That’s where I’ll leave it.

[EDIT] I’ve been looking into it. It’s not uncommon for actors to take breaks after the Tony Awards. I don’t blame him for taking a break. I can’t say much about Trevor though. Apparently Shoshana Bean is taking a break too.

Adam and Eve

I actually haven't thought much about these two so far, so forgive me if it's a bit short. I've mainly been trying to figure out the hotel crew first, lol.

I imagine Adam and Eve as both being in Hell. They're probably the happiest couple there, to be honest, as they've mainly focused on trying to make the most of their lives in Hell rather than redemption or trying to escape. They're a bit like what I'd call the "ideal retro married couple", in that they follow those traditional roles without the realistic toxicity that would arise from it. The reason why they don't have that toxicity is because, well... They were literally made for each other. Eve was literally made from his side so... They'd probably get along a bit better than most couples just because of that odd link.

Adam isn't so much a raging misogynist as he is kind of a kind grandpa who's trying to catch up with the times. He still believes in some sexist stereotypes, like how women should stay at home and clean and that the man should work, but he does acknowledge that times are seemingly changing on Earth. The fact that the new people entering Hell are so different from people back in his day is proof of that. So, he'd not push that belief onto people visiting his home, but instead ask that they respect the fact that him and Eve follow those beliefs happily. He goes to work to make money for the home and always returns to his wife.

Eve is pretty similar. She is pretty happy to stay at home and cook and clean. She does have nightmares about when she got Adam to share the Forbidden Fruit with her, which causes her to wake up at night feeling guilty about it. It's almost like these two are psychically connected or something, because whenever she wakes up from one of these nightmares, Adam immediately wakes up as well to comfort her about it. She shares the same beliefs as Adam about household roles, but it a lot more sensitive about it because she understands the newer generations can be made uncomfortable by it. That, and Lilith is heavily against such ideas, and she's friends with Lilith.

I don't have any design ideas for them, yet, but I'd make Adam have a darker skin tone due to him being made from (if I remember correctly) red clay. Then, subsequently, because Eve was made from Adam, she'd have a very similar if not exact skin tone to Adam.

[feathers-second-face]

I'm beginning to believe the 'Lilith told Alastor to go to the hotel' theory, so here are my ever-so-important-you-can't-live-without-needed thoughts on it.

Spoilers I think?

Okay uh- I don't buy into a lot of the stuff people say about it, but I do think she's the one who owns his soul. The 7 year disappearance is a bit specific to point out if it meant nothing.

SO! First thing, her intentions with sending him to the hotel. It could have been three things. To get him to screw it over (which I don't believe since he hasn't done anything to accomplish that), to ensure it succeeds (which I also doubt because although he's apparently been helpful, he hasn't done anything to actively help with the redemption stuff), or to protect Charlie (which I think is the most likely. Lilith can't be there for her daughter because she's busy with something.

Which leads me to point two, the reason the deal was made. We don't know for sure why it happened, but I heavily doubt Alastor could be tricked into making a deal, and (please correct me if I'm wrong) I'm pretty sure Viv mentioned somewhere that he wasn't really interested in power. This leads me to believe that he HAD to. As for what put him in such a vulnerable position, I have no idea. Maybe he got an angelic stabbing during his last fight with Vox or smth and agreed to give her his soul in exchange for help? Who knows. Anyway, I'm still completely clueless on the 7 year absense. What was bro doing?

Anyway, point three! I don't believe the deal would have been made upon Alastor's arrival to hell. No one knew or cared who he was until the radio broadcasts, there'd be no reason for Lilith to bother with him, and again, I doubt he'd be stupid enough to sell his soul unless he had to. So the deal was likely made AFTER his rise to power. I'm also inclined to believe it happened during the his 7 year absense somewhere. I don't have evidence for this I just think it makes sense.

So Alastor spawned, killed a bunch of powerful overloads, got into some sort of situation (likely one that would end his not-life), and was forced to make a deal with Lilith. From there we don't know but at the end of the 7 year poofing, Lilith begins getting voice messages of Charlie's plan with the hotel, and sends Alastor over (I don't think she sent him RIGHT after her last voicemail. It was just a bit too quick). He sees her on the picture box and figured he might as well see what she's doing if he's gonna have to put up with her.

And that's why he's there! Yay! Theories! None of this is actively confirmed, but my thoughts on it.

And now I'm gonna ramble about their dynamic because I'm an annoying nerd.

So this here. The scene from the pilot when he looks at the family portrait,

It's subtle but he does that narrow his eyes and bigger smile thing a number times for a number of reasons, but I don't think this one is hatred. In the comic with Vox, all it took was seeing his face on a screen and he started mumbling insults down the street until he got distracted by something else. And this does matter because if he wasn't on decent terms with Lilith, he'd probably hate her more just because of the soul thing. Now I know he hates the fact that she owns his soul (if I'm correct), but that doesn't mean he'd have to hate her.

Even if this wasn't much proof, he doesn't go into the hotel with any resentment towards Charlie. He already decided he hated Lucifer when they met but Charlie was fine. I also think he was interested in the entertainment as a side thing, since he'd have to make this tolerable somehow (and give himself some sense of control over what he's doing), hence why he insisted on helping rather than just watching. He doesn't glare at Charlie (and in referring to the pilot since that's where to met) and in fact seems to be alright with her. Given his habit of throwing Vaggie (leave her alone bro TmT) when he didn't even know her, I believe if he was on bad terms with Lilith, he would be trying to screw with Charlie in any way that doesn't put her at risk.

I'm guessing he was on decent terms with Lilith dispite it all, it was mentioned that he gets along with women better, and his interactions with Lucifer only solidify this with me.

Look, I love dad Alastor, but 1, they didn't have enough episodes to actually explore this and 2, even if he cared even the slightest bit for Charlie at this point (which I want to believe), that song was heavily exaggerating their relationship entirely to piss off her dad.

So Lucifer shows up and Al immediately tries to kill him through glaring. It's possible his own dad was crappy so he projected a bit on Lucifer, or that he just didn't like crappy parents, but I think it was because his absense was likely spend with Lilith, who Charlie confirmed had split up with her dad before her disappearance, and probably wasn't very happy with him, giving Al a bad impression before they even met.

And now for Mimzy. I love all of Alastor's friends, he's so good at finding them. Anyway, she shows up and although Alastor already knows what that means, he let's her. I think he knew she was going to bring people for him to kill and he was already in a bad mood so he needed someone to take that out on. However, when he saw the damage to the hotel, he realized he couldn't do that because it put Charlie in danger (now I don't know if this had anything to do with him actually caring at all, because if he'd get punished if Charlie was killed, there'd be no wonder as to why he sent her away even if he personally didn't care).

Then there's his random disappearances throughout the show. Mimzy said he hasn't 'done any if that in a while', in reference to killing people and broadcasting their screams, so although he's active again, he still isn't killing people quite yet. Despite this, there have been two episodes now where he was quite literally nowhere to be seen, with no indication of where he went. I'm guessing he has to go chat with Lilith every now and then to catch her up on what's going on in the hotel and with her daughter.

Also I couldn't find anywhere to fit this, but I'm guessing Lilith sent him over because she figured the hotel would attract terrible people and knew Charlie doesn't fight, so why not send the screams broadcasting radio demon over? No one fucks with him so why not?

So TLDR; Alastor became powerful boi in hell, got screwed over and had to make a deal with Lilith, she heard her daughter was running a hotel that would attract crappy people and sent him over to protect her. He randomly disappears to tell update her on what's going on. They're on decent terms but he hates the fact that she owns his soul.

Oh boy.

I intentionally avoided posting any thing about the allegations against Tenoch yesterday because I require time to process information. I needed time to give my brain a rest. This still feels a bit too soon. I will never be one to say Tenoch or anyone else would, "never do something like that." Because I have no idea. I'm hoping that the allegations aren't true. This post is my way of venting. It is in no way meant to persuade anyone else on what they should think or feel about this situation. And certainly not meant to be proof or evidence of why it happened or didn't happen. I don't know. None of us knows.

1. The framing of the dissemination of this information as "news." My biggest issue is that I've seen a lot of Twitter accounts pick up the same link that appears to be the outlet that first brought the Tweet by Maria Elena Rios to light (reforma.com). I don't know what journalistic standards this outlet follows, so I won't speculate. I did check to see if any well-established US outlets had Tweeted anything (Associated Press, Reuters, CNN, MSNBC), and as of roughly 30 min. ago they had not.

So far, all we really have are glorified Retweets, not a news story. There are A LOT of accounts with well designed pages that have all the hallmarks of looking like "official" news organizations, but they are not. It takes virtually no time or effort to Retweet something and start an avalanche. It's a trend that has bothered me for the last decade or so. Journalism requires independently verifying information you have received. It's going to multiple sources to corroborate the information. It's at the very least attempting to reach out to the involved parties to get their statements. It's reviewing public records and court filings to see what has been officially documented. And not to say that WON'T happen at some point, but it sure as hell isn't going to happen within 24 hours. It will take time and we STILL may never know the full story.

2. We should believe victims. ABSOLUTELY! In this particular instance and from this vantage point, Maria is only his accuser. It has not yet been established that she is his victim. I understand that she is a victim involving another individual, and thank goodness she survived that horific attack. However, as it pertains to Tenoch, I don't think interjecting alleged sexual assault in a Tweet focused on a different issue is enough to automatically leap to saying she was absolutely, 100%, without a doubt victimized by Tenoch. If it happened I would hope Maria would take legal action, given she was comfortable enough to make the accusation publicly under her name. Even then, she is not required to do so (which is why I say we may never know what did or didn't happen). I would imagine navigating the justice system in Mexico is no less stressful as navigating the justice system in the US. There are valid reasons for women not subjecting themselves to (potentially) years of legal struggles. But I also hope she wouldn't be so reckless as to throw out an allegation and not allow Tenoch to formally defend himself, assuming he denies these allegations. Once again, something that requires TIME.

3. To all those I have interacted with over the past few months on this site, know that I luv ya! I value our time together here. Regardless of what you've said or haven't said about this situation, that hasn't changed. I'm choosing to reserve judgement because that's how I am and how I will always be. I respect that everyone is not like me (thank God). Like many others, I will suspend posting here because, if for no other reason, I know how to read a fucking room. Let's all be kind and respectful to one another. To those folks who interact with me regularly, don't hesitate to DM me.

"Birthdays", "awkward", "Taennie", "imagination", "TAE", "liar, attention seeker". If these words do not leave your mouth or a jikooker's, you’ll have a stroke.

There. Fixed it for ya 😘

Also, literally no one here is having a stroke over any jikook video. Maybe anon you need to "get out of your imagination" . Y'all so desperately want us to feel something about those teasers and clips that you are willing to imagine that we are having strokes over them. It's a fckn entertainment show, not a "day in the life of an idol couple" vlog series. They went to those locations with a crew, those aren't clips from their private trips. Why tf would we feel anything bad about a travel show? We've seen multiple seasons of BV and ITS. We know the drill. The only difference this time is that instead of the seven of them, it's just two. That's it. It might be a huge deal for y'all, as it should be (would've been for me if it were taekook), but trust me, we really, really aren't bothered.

Btw, didn't jimin travel to the US for hobi? He shows up for all of them bcs that's who he is. He is a very caring friend. What you forgot to mention is, jimin himself said that he hadn't met jk on his bday last year, infact he met yoongi on his own bday eve, who brought a cake for him. Why do y'all always ignore all the other members in favour of proving your narratives? Jimin himself said he was only close to yoongi and hobi last year. As for jk's bday in '22, hobi, jin and jimin all went to wish him. Y'all really need to stop singling him out. Just like how jungkook only saw jimin and hobi. Similarly in solo era, jimin only met yoongi and hobi. Seems like y'all are trying to downplay his relationship with yoongi here.

"Jungkook said “speak to someone” and not himself because they couldn’t even sit down and have a heart to heart" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Sure love. Believe this if this gives you happiness. Why tf would they want to have a heart to heart infront of cameras??? Or do y'all really believe that anything and everything that's shown on tv is real and unscripted?

"For all you know jennie was probably the reason he became a little bit happier. " Y'all really need to stop using taennie. Proving anything in regards to tae ain't doing shit for your ship. Why is your side hell bent on proving him straight and involved? What does it have anything to do with jikook? Someone does have something to do with jikook though, and she's been a bit quiet since dropping those bombshells. But you'll never see us even talking about her after that. Bcs we really don't care about jimin's dating life. But jikookers are weirdly interested in tae and his alleged relationships, going so far as to pair him with his wooga squad friends.

"You’ve turned these boys lives into a lie so that you could force a reality that isn’t true onto them" No love that's all on you and your fellow dummies. The people who believe that a queer couple will enlist together. The ones who refuse to believe that jk and tae are very close, closer than any other pair in BTS. The ones who've oversexualize jikook to the point of not even understanding the difference b/w reality and ff.

You have an entire series coming in less than a month and instead of being happy about it,here you are, picking up unnecessary fights. Are y'all ever satisfied with your ship? Does your ship even exist without mentioning taekook and tae?

Hi anon!

It's always the same things with them. Just like they have their chosen moments to proof Jkk (GCF Tokyo, RoseBowl, Hickey-gate, enlistment, coupledays... some weird number theories... you know the drill) they also have their chosen topics to disprove Tkk (Taennie, Get out of your imagination, ITS talk). I think a lot is about contesting with Tkkrs for them? Like.. the usual rebuttle to a Jkk debunk is to come with something about Tkk. As if Tkk being not real would make Jkk real suddenly.

I have seen the birthday talk so much it gets boring... and the thing is, it's always about Jm going to Jk's birthday and not the other way around (I am actually unaware of the times Jk spent Jm's birthday with him outside of when they were together because of band stuff... anyone know?). But Jk actually does not always spend Jm's birthday with him right? When they were in Busan it was clear they were with their respective families.. and not spending Jm's birthday with their families combined. So how does all of that hold?

I'm very tired of Jkkrs saying things like... you are turning Jkk into fanservice and reducing their relationship to only that. No we are not! Not around here anyways.. and I'm not going to be held responsible for whatever it is other Tkkrs are saying.

==============================================

All Might's fourth victim had what he would call a perfect life, family, kids, a husband who made decent money as a pro, the white picket fence dream. In fact, so much so that she wasn't the one he was originally after. She was not a pro nor pretended to be one, however her husband had focused all of his efforts on investigating All Might himself. He said publicly many times that he believed the women All Might associated with went missing for a reason. That there had to be more to the story after all.

At first, All Might had tried to be civil, not wanting a whole scandal and backlash if he could just calmly explain to him that there's no need for an investigation and everything would be fine if he just quietly left well enough alone. Toshinori fully believed that if he could convince or even bribe one of his accusers that there was nothing to see here, that all would go away and he could get back to his normal life.

But when he met with said pro for a conversation, it turned ugly rather quickly.

"I'm sorry All Might but I can't do that."

"What do you mean? C'mon now, we can come to an agreement can't we? Something where everyone's happy?"

"I'll be happy when you've been exposed for the crimes you've committed against these innocent women."

"Accusing me without any proof is a pretty bold thing to do."

"Proof? I have plenty, how many women get involved with you and end up dying, disappearing, or killing themselves. Each one is the same, you and I both know there's a pattern there."

"You're jumping to conclusions based on coincidence. I was cleared as a suspect in all of those cases years ago."

"And why is that? As the Number One hero, I'm sure you have connections, if not a substantial amount of funds to buy your way out of trouble."

"I don't appreciate what you're insinuating. I am a hero, the Symbol of Peace and Justice, why would I go against the very thing I strive to uphold?"

"To use it as a cover to do whatever the hell you want. You're above suspicion because of what you do and your work, while innocent women left and right lose everything by just coming near you."

His teeth grit in anger, he could kill the man right this moment. But that would be too suspicious, people would start to question why someone investigating All Might would disappear except if it meant that All Might was guilty.

"Very well, dig if you must, but you won't find anything, I assure you."

"We'll see about that."

===============================================

"Find him."

"Excuse me?"

"Find out everything about him, I want to ruin his life. Make him regret he'd ever been born."

"And what am I looking for exactly?"

"His family, friends, a path of opening. Hateful social media posts, nudes, cheating scandals, illegal purchases, gambling, addiction, something! Anything that would discredit him!"

Nighteye sighs, tapping away at the computer, all of the Symbol of Peace's messes were his job to clean up, and it was getting exhausting. However that is what he signed up for in the past, might as well keep his position as All Might's only sidekick for a little while longer.

===============================================

All Might had approached the young wife and mother with the appearance of simple help. From what Nighteye had said she was a stay at home wife since her husband made enough to support her and their children quite comfortably. However that meant that he was gone throughout the day and the day to day care of the home and children rested upon her shoulders. And what would be a better time than to help a poor woman carrying heavy groceries? He was a hero after all.

They started talking, as she was in awe that such an accomplished and acclaimed hero would help her of all people do such a lowly task. To which he naturally assured her that no job was too small if it meant helping those in need. It seemed like his charms with women hadn't gone away, even after all these years. Women still found him the most fantastical man on the planet, all because of this inherited power of his.

Simple chatting turned into venting on her end, when he asked what her husband did she began to pour out how stressed and lonely she had been since he dedicated himself to his current case. She willingly offered up the details of how far his research had come and how he had less than what he let on. In order to find more he had often been away from home, neglecting his wife and family to pursue this goal of bringing All Might to justice. A cause, she believed, to be ridiculous since Toshinori had been nothing but an angel to her.

As always, he listened, never saying a word to sway her thinking, except that he understood and felt sorry for her. Throwing in lines about how much he wished to be married but had to wait since it was not in the cards. How if he was married, he would treat his wife like she were the only thing in life that mattered. The city could be burning but if his wife needed him he'd be there.

The fool melted.

And she was lonely. Riding him until her legs gave out, but still begging for more. It was like she hadn't been touched in years, and all she needed was him. To which he was always happy to be of help.

There was something about fucking the wife of your current enemy that just brought him so much satisfaction. This man had pushed and pushed to get All Might to slip up, but in pushing so hard he allowed a crack in his family unit, which All Might snuck in and took what was left over. And from the look on her face when he filled her, she was never going back to her old life.

===============================================

The spite she had toward her husband for leaving her in that house by herself led her to telling All Might exactly where he had stored all of his evidence in his case against the Symbol of Peace. Telling him to take it so that finally her husband would come back to her.

Naturally he had to agree to such a desperate woman.

Although the destroying of the evidence didn't stop, she still made regular visits to see him, needing that hole of affection filled somewhere. And if it was All Might, all the better.

===============================================

Eventually she told her husband of her affair, but made sure not to mention who it was with when All Might had sworn her not to do so. All of his evidence had already been taken from him, his life's work meaningless, and now his wife was leaving with his children.

All because he tried to cross the Number One hero.

That was the last All Might or anyone had heard of him, and eventually Toshinori got tired of the constant pestering from her to meet her kids and take over a fatherly role so he killed each one of them, from her, down to the youngest. Never to be seen of again, and no questions were asked since the husband believed they had moved hours away to be with her lover. There was no investigation, nothing. They had just disappeared and were forgotten about. Even by All Might.

Especially when he met her.

that ship hate meme again but u pick ^_^

NANASHOKO

ive only seen this once majorly but i hate it so damn much. i liked nanami just fine until fandom wiped their stupid hands on him and unfortunately he has made it to my dislike list... more than that why the hell do people ship them. they spoke like once, and that ONE time was more shoko talking to yuuji. she does NOT gaf about himmmmmm im so sick of people thinking shoko cares THAT much about any of her classmates like the point is that the new generation is a lot more connected to each other because the old generation is trying not to let them go through and be affected by the same traumas so WHY do you think shoko's class is more connected than they areeeee it makes me so sick !!! i dont believe in any ship with nanami, hes aroace to me, and shokos a lesbian and does not gaf about anyone except utahime so. shut up. shut up !

this might be controversial but FUGIO

i hate seeing this pairing anywhere ong. funny thing i actually used to like fugo but then for some reason inexplicably i started hating him out of nowhere, and im sick of fandom treating him like poor little meow meow poor baby like SHUT UP about fugo !! nobody cares about fugo !!! imo the only reason people ship them is cuz of purple haze feedback which i havent read, but people have a bunch of issues with giorno's characterization there (being manipulative and weird) so if thats true why would you take his behavior towards fugo as proof he likes him or some shit ughhhhhhh. the ship is boring as hell if you take canon characterization into account, theyre way too similar and dont complement each other at all. theyre like clones. literally what will they do, sit in silence and read? that or its just about fugo's guilt complexes and omg no one cares. the other only reason ppl ship them is cuz fugo's the only alive one who's the exact same age as giorno (this is a whole other fandom argument i have beef with) like yall just HAD to find your yaoi with the most unbothered character in jojo (giorno's for sure somewhere aroace spectrum) just cuz you cant live without your twinks and somehow made the most boring bland watered down ship ever. SHUT UP !!!!!!!!

The wildest personal encounter I’ve had about MJ was when a (now ex-friend) told me she new MJ was guilty because her aunt was a victim of child sex abuse and she would “believe the victim”. I didn’t push anything at the time because I didn’t want to tread on a personal subject, but I hate the “believe the victim” mentality when there is irrefutable proof that the “victim” is a liar and a manipulator. As it so blatantly is with the MJ case for anyone who cares enough to look. That “friend” turned out to be a bitch in the end for other reasons, but that was my first red flag.

It’s so ridiculous, this notion that we should believe anyone and everyone accusing others of serious crimes off someone’s verbal testimony alone. And in such cases like Michael’s, where there is no verifiable evidence, the only thing that can be judged IS the accusers verbal testimony and the credibility of such.

We are living in a time where emotion has replaced due process. Me Too and other similar “movements” have opened the door to allow false allegations to run rampant. James Safechuck, Wade Robson, Amber Heard. Hell, Amber was their goddamn spokesperson and she is a court proven liar!

Ppl listened to her allegations of DV without asking for any evidence, only her verbal accounts. It was obviously proven in court that she lied and defamed and slandered Johnny Depp, who was the actual victim of DV the entire time!

Ppl have believed Wade and James’ accounts of their alleged molestation in that one sided “documentary” in which they provided ZERO evidence to back up their claims, against a dead man that can’t speak for himself and against a man who was already exonerated of such allegations in life!

Just because someone claims to be a victim of something, doesn’t mean they are. People falsely accuse others of crimes all the time and have done so since the dawn of civilization. Greed, jealousy, prejudice, fear, etc drive these false allegations and create lynch mobs and a mob mentality. This is extremely dangerous.

Ppl are imprisoned for things they never did all the time. Ppl are accused of things they never did all the time. And when it comes to high profile names like Michael Jackson or Johnny Depp, the accusers have immediate incentive to lie for financial gain. As such, those allegations need to be treated with the same scrutiny as any other, if not even more.

Believe proven victims. Don’t believe just anyone saying anything. You can listen to their claims, but if evidence suggests it isn’t true, then why would you or anyone believe them? Wade and James are court proven perjurers and extortionists, just like the rest of Michael’s accusers.

All evidence proves beyond doubt that Michael Jackson was innocent and was a victim of false allegations and criminal extortion. He died an innocent man dragged mercilessly by the worldwide media, bestialized and dehumanized beyond belief. And in death, they continue to defile his grave.

You can't tell me humans haven't taken more than 7 lives for as long as they roamed the earth. That puts it into perspective. Even then, I should clarify one of those humans wasn't killed even by monsters. Your child. Chara killed themself. Chara killed themself because they hated humans. They're "violent, selfish, and ignorant" creatures. That's what Chara said. I know not all humans are like that because my three best friends are humans. But whatever the heck you and the people around Chara did to them, you sure as hell made them think that way! So they killed themself specifically so the monster you killed could take their soul and get revenge.

So that monster holding their body you killed? If he really was violent, he would and could have wiped out EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU without a second thought. *Flowey glares at the town in front of him with hate. With hate for them, and with hate for Asriel.* You saw what really happened. He didn't do anything even as you tortured him, even though it was your own human child's wishes against their own race. Isn't that pathetic? *Flowey laughs weakly to himself, and his expression softens. He glances at Toriel for a moment before averting his eyes again immediately.*

I know none of you believe me.

...

Just listen to the others, okay?

*Flowey burrows away. (he'll be back with something next ask so don't end the speech too soon after Clover's response.)*

(Random Person 1) "You know, screw you all. I'm with the monsters. You all should go to hell. We are hate. Chara died by their hand."

(Mom) "There's no proof to that. What's your name anyway."

(Random Person 1) "My name is John, and I was in the same class as Chara. I know you are all just saying that because you can't take accountability. We all know the real reason Chara left. I saw how they looked when they got anything below 90%. Those excuses you bring, try to make an excuse for a whip across the face!!!"

(Mom) "Liar!"

(John) "I say we don't dishonor these monsters who's with me!!!"

Dead silence for 4 seconds

(Mom) "I just realized the evil flower has all the police."

(Toriel) "Please, I'm not worth it. I should've listened to Asgore."

Kara walked up

(Kara) "Everyone calm down for a moment. I have a few words. I know Chara meant a lot to some of you, but I must ask, when did the war start?"

(Mom) "It was all when two kids were playing tag. One kid was running and accidentally got stabbed by some pointy rocks and died. The monster then absorbed the soul and made a powerful being that could do anything. It took a while, but we killed them. You've got to remember the real reason we do this isn't just for Chara or Clover. They're just people wrapped in this. If one monster, for any reason, wants to kill a human, succeeds, and becomes evil, there's no stopping it. That's what we're afraid of. There are only a million monsters. Millions don't matter to me when there are billions at stake. We thought we could trap you underground, but we can't. We'll have to kill you instead. Say your final words and get out of here."

(Kara) "I will let Buttercup speak after me. Ahem You all have no way to deal with your lives. After you want to kill monsters, who's next? Violence will come one day to all that are different. Why do we do it, though? Look at Toriel. She's just a Mom. She doesn't mean to harm anyone who doesn't wrong her. Papyrus is one of the best guys I've ever met. He will become friends with everyone. We can't all say that monsters are different than humans. They have goals and more love than most others. The truth is, we all are the same. Some of us are terrible, others are good. It's not right that Chara hated humanity. People are born, and they live. That's it. One day, I want to walk up to a child and a monster sitting on the sidewalk, eating ice cream and telling stories. For those two to be friends just like Asriel and Chara were. Think of all the lonely kids who you could help make friends. If I can see the day that monster and human kids love each other, that'll be enough for me."

WIP Sneak Peak

The excerpt below is from my current WIP, this is my 1st draft so things may change before it is published :)

“Ms. Newman, where is your daughter?” the detective asked as he flipped open his notebook and clicked his pen.

“Where is she? She is wherever she was taken, what kind of question is that?” I responded, not able to hide the confusion on my face.

He ignored my question, “Hmm…” he grunted, “Can you tell me where you were last night between 11:00 and 11:40 pm?” 

“I drove to the Pit Stop gas station across town, to buy tampons, and then I drove back here, ” I explained.

“And do you have any proof of your whereabouts?” he asked.

“Well, I have a box of tampons and a receipt. I’m sure if you asked you could check their camera footage and you’d see me there, I was in there for a little while.” I replied.

“I hope for your sake that is true.” the detective said.

“Why the hell would I lie about that?” I asked

“Just seems awfully convenient that you happened to be out of the house at some obscure time in the middle of the night, right when your daughter goes missing.”

“What are you trying to say?” I accused.

“Nothing Ma’am, just trying to gather any information that might help us find your daughter.” the detective retorted.

“Sure you are,” I responded curtly.

“Now, do you have any family who might have wanted to take your daughter for any reason?” he asked.

“No, her father passed away in February and his parents were already deceased. Plus no one knew we were here.” I explained.

“May I ask why no one knew you were here?” he asked.

“I didn’t tell anyone we were coming here because I am being stalked and no one will take me seriously about it,” I said

“And what makes you believe you have a stalker?” he questioned.

“Well, for starters, I have been getting creepy text messages for the last six months. I have also had strange things delivered to my place of business, as well as to my house. The night before we came here when I decided to come, I’m pretty sure I saw someone outside my house watching me through my windows.” I summarized.

“And have you reported this activity to the local police?” He inquired.

Frustrated, I replied, “I have, but they say they can’t do anything because there haven’t been any threats, and because the phone numbers they come from are always different, so they can’t be certain it’s all from the same person.”

“I see…” he commented.

“Look, I get it. You don’t think this is real, or at least not serious, but it was real enough to me to make me pack up my child and leave without telling anyone to keep us both safe.” I said annoyed.

“And is that where your daughter is now? Somewhere safe?” he asked.

“What?! No, here is where I brought her to be safe. Or, I thought we would be safe here!” I shouted as I stood up and walked across the kitchen.

“Ok Ma’am, there’s no need for hysterics,” he said condescendingly.

“Excuse me?” I said, turning around, but before I could finish my thought, Sadie spoke up.

“Hey, yeah, I think we are about done here.” She insisted.

“Miss?” the detective questioned, looking at Sadie as she stood up to come to stand beside me.

“You heard me. Her daughter is missing. I was attacked… by a man. You don’t need to be interrogating Gabby like she has done something wrong.” Sadie asserted as she put her arm around me and hugged me close.

“Well, I… uh…” the detective stammered.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought. So do you have any questions that will actually help with the search? Or do you have any suggestions for what we should be doing, besides just waiting?” She asked.

“Well, I’m going to have to insist that you don’t go looking for this mystery man if in fact he is dangerous,” the detective said facetiously.

“If? I think the knot on my head says enough about how dangerous he is.” Sadie said incredulously. 

“Yes, well, we are trained to handle these kinds of situations, so we ask that civilians do not interfere with active investigations.” the detective replied.

“Could have fooled me,” Sadie replied smartly.

“Alright, that’s enough.” the detective said angrily.

“He’s right Sadie. Thank you for having my back, but we need to focus.” I said as I turned to the detective, “But really, what can we be doing?” I asked.

The detective paused for a moment, thinking. “Have you thought about making fliers to post around with her photo? I’ve also heard some people have had success in similar situations by posting on social media.”

“Those are very helpful suggestions,” I said as I looked across the table at the detective, “Thank you.”

“Also,” he continued, “Do you happen to have a recent photo of Hanna that we can have a copy of? We got a pretty good description of both she and the suspect last night, but a visual will be much more useful,” he explained.

“Of course. I’m a photographer, I can get you some photos that I just took  yesterday when we got here.” I responded.

“That would be great,” he said as he slid his hand across the table, “Here is my card. You can send those right to my email and I will distribute them to all of our officers and contacts.” the detective said.

“Thank you,” I said.

Wait, so Coa's confessor really did call for Anne to be murdered? People told me it was a myth the whole time! And the mob is always treated like Anne's fault, like "proof" she was just evil and disgusting so everyone hated her so she just deserved it anyway. No one ever has a problem with Coa's Tudor stans getting violent, or who paid them and worked them up. No way was it natural. It's funny to me that Anne stans are always expected to accept how "bad" she was to Coa and Mary because she said things, and saying things is the worst thing ever, but almost getting ripped apart by their fans is ok? Their side tried to kill her and everyone acts shocked she's angry! Like I totally get it from Anne. Why the hell wouldn't you say things to people who actively tried to murder you? After running for her life, she'd be totally paranoid thinking anyone not supporting her was a threat to her and Elizabeth. But Coa stans just ignore her reasons and act like Anne just hated them because she was evil.

Eh, well, like I said, it was an implicit threat. In the allegory, if Henry is Ahab then Anne is Jezebel and that is what happens to Jezebel in the Biblical story. Watch your step lest you're pushed out of a window, kind of vibe.

I don't think anyone paid them, tbh, mob mentality is a very real thing. I highly doubt it was 8000 people large, because that would have been near 20% London's population, and no actual uprising happened during Anne's queenship against her. There's also no recorded punishment and it just seems highly unlikely that 8000 people with weapons could have dispersed without any being arrested, dozens, however probably could have managed to slip away.

And, as for what she said as Queen, if we are to believe Chapuys she did threaten them, which is not merely "said [bad] things", but arguably the reason Ives characterized this as "ranting, not thinking", was because they weren't actually effected. Her detractors would say not from lack of trying, and it could be so, but they often try to have this both ways...she had the ultimate power in this scenario and yet she couldn't manage to accomplish what she wanted 'the most'. They cannot both have been true at the same time. Had Anne lived and dominoes fallen into line to effect her stepdaughter's arrest by council in the summer of 1536 (similar to that of Wolsey in 1529, pardoned, then later 1530, Anne was not Queen yet, but it's entirely plausible she encouraged that), then this would/could be a different conversation.

As for Elizabeth, you're not wrong, and some of that continued even after Anne's death, so she certainly would have anxiety about Elizabeth for the rest of her life. Anne's detractors had animosity towards Elizabeth just for existing, it didn't matter that she was yet to be born ("perverse offspring"), an infant ("not hot enough"), or later, a bastardized seven-year-old (Margaret Pole requested prayers for Prince Edward and Mary, but omitted any for Elizabeth, despite that she was acknowledged as the King's child as much as the latter).

[stories-of-the-multiverse]

((And so!! Imma dewit now!!!

So, this is gonna be a long one, and it’s gonna be divided up into three sections.

Grace, Pico, which are both related to each other for surprising reasons, and the tentative third one is bi erasure.

Grace

So, I’ve expressed before my problems with how Grace is written. A Nice Girl that feels entitled to a man’s feelings when he doesn’t feel the same way. And word of god not only contradicting the narrative, but itself.

Now, why did they need to go the direction of the bitter ex? Who fucking knows! She’s supposed to be a role swap with Pico, but here’s the thing! Basegame Pico was fucking cordial when meeting with his ex! Even despite, you know, being hired to kill him.

There was no fucking reason to make Grace such a fucking brat. Especially considering the circumstances!

Think about it, Ben ran away from home with Pico without so much as a word. Frank already saw them together, so even if no one suspected Pico before, they certainly would now.

Not to mention, she fully believes he’s behind the shooting.

Even if none of the parents painted the picture for her, she probably would have reached the conclusion that Pico kidnapped Ben.

So why couldn’t the focus be Grace making a misguided attempt to rescue Ben? It would be a sort of mirror to Pico’s own attempt to protect Ben, and that would be a perfect source of conflict. And wouldn’t involve making Grace so fucking unlikable. And you can still hint she has unrequited feelings for Ben.

Now, a while back someone pointed out she’s supposed to be a product of the abusive household she grew up.

But that actually was not the intention. After all, according to Tama, she wasn’t abused, she was “overly sheltered”.

A statement which I have several problems with.

First of all, Ben outright admits to seeing parallels between his parents and her parents. Quote;

“You [the Fairests] tried to make me a mindless slave! Just like GF’s parents did to her!”

Now, for context, the Fairests abused the hell out of him. So the fact he saw similarities between both sets of parents, it’s very telling.

Also, “overly sheltering”? Is a form of abuse. Sorry not sorry. Just because she didn’t suffer violence doesn’t mean she didn’t suffer abuse.

It’s also heavily implied her parents manipulate her, not only by Ben, and unknowingly herself, but also Tama themself. I will get to the latter in a sec. For now, a quote!

“NO! MOMMY AND DADDY TOLD ME SO! THEY WOULD NEVER LIE TO ME!”

Girl is... straight up brainwashed.

And we may know a bit about the extent of her brainwashing. After all, she has body image issues. And Ben with his gift art is the only one that makes her feel better about her appearance.

Now, a heavily sheltered girl, meaning her parents would be picky about the content she consumes... And her only friend is fully supportive of her... Where do you think... she might have developed such an insecurity...?

And keep in mind, this kinda shit can lead to eating disorders. Fucking dangerous.

Even if this is just body dysphoria, Ben is still the only one trying to help her with her insecurity. Why aren’t the parents helping?

This still does not look good on them either way.

And now... let’s talk about that thing I mentioned.

So let’s suppose... her parents aren’t abusive.

You know who is, though?

The Fairests.

And according to Tama, both her parents and the Fairests manipulated her into thinking that she and Ben are meant to be together. And I doubt that wasn’t the only instance either.

See, abusive people are hardly ever abusive to just one person. They are a social parasite. The moment they can sink their teeth into you, you become their victim. No matter how many other victims they have.

Now, I doubt they were bold enough to do any physical harm to her. She’s not their kid, so unlike Ben, they don’t have full power over her.

But it’s arguably more insidious. Ben has physical proof. Grace does not. It is her word against theirs. Both sets of parents. I know from damn experience that your word against theirs hardly works. Even if you try to keep note of it.

All this tells me that Tama just has... a really narrow view on what abuse is. That you need to sustain physical injures, possibly scars, for it to be real abuse.

And as someone that has been physically abused when I was in elementary school [Though no scars to show for it as far as I’m aware], and emotionally abused all the way back to at least high school, it genuinely is upsetting to essentially be told, as someone that sorta relates to Grace’s experience, “Hey, by the way? Your abuse isn’t actually abuse. VuV”

This coupled with her being bastardized just for the sake of propping up the mod’s ship is fucking infuriating.

And with the ship in mind, on to part two!

Pico

First of all, fuck you, Pico would not disapprove of Ben’s friendships with the other BFs. What does that say about the knight in shining armor that rescued his abused boyfriend from the abusive birth givers?

Aside from rescuing and taking care of Ben, though, there really isn’t much to his character. He entirely revolves around Ben. You want to know why I think that?

First of all, where the hell is Darnell and Nene?

You know, Pico’s best friends in canon?

Why aren’t they even mentioned? Why does Pico’s relationships seem to either be Ben or people dating Ben’s friends?

Actually, now thinking about it, why is he even friends with Shaya and Neo!GF in the first place? What do they bond over, how to they hang out? Even Grace is described as a little sister to the two Picos from B3 and Neo mods. How the fuck does Toughie hang out with the GFs?

We don’t ever get any information on his relationships aside from Ben.

And that’s not the only thing we don’t get insight on.

Pico’s own baggage.

We see a glimpse of some of it in chapter three when Grace brings up the shooting. And we know he dropped out of high school because of it. But I don’t think that’s his only issue.

After all, he chose to rough it out on the streets as opposed to staying home. And that is despite not only how dangerous homelessness is, but him being believed to be a school shooter and therefore risking harassment. After all, who even tolerates school shooters? Even if you are cleared of a crime, the moment you’re accused, there is always gonna be someone that believes you committed it. And red hair ain’t exactly common, so he’d be pretty easy to recognize.

Despite all that, he decided to live out on the streets anyways.

Doesn’t that imply his home life was far from safe? What could possibly have been at home for him to risk it out on the streets?

Fuck if I know, the mod refuses to even imply it. Which is weird, because you’d think that’d be a point of empathizing and bonding with each other. You know, unless Tama doesn’t see whatever forced Pico out on the streets as abuse either.

Yeah in case you couldn’t tell, I’m still really fucking salty about the abuse shit.

And now... the tentative last part.

Bi Erasure

Okay, admittedly, even despite being pan, I feel a little... ill equipped for this, so this one is gonna be short and a little more wishy washy.

So in case you don’t know, BF is canonically bi.

However, in the Soft mod, he is gay. As in, only prefers men.

This is why I’m a little wishy washy, because on one hand, fuck bi erasure, but on the other hand, gay men deserve rep too.

Though, I will say this.

You don’t have to be a gay man to reject a woman. You don’t have to be a straight woman to reject another woman. You don’t have to be a straight man to reject another man. You don’t have to be a gay woman to reject a man.

You can be bi/pan/omni/poly/etc. and reject someone. Hell, you can be straight and reject someone of the opposite sex. Or gay and reject someone of the same sex. Your orientation does not dictate who you can and can’t reject. If you’re not into them, you’re not into them. Simple as.

My point is, Ben could have still been bi and rejected Grace, and that would have been just as valid.

If I am out of line with this, though, please let me know.

Aaaaand that is me bitching out the Soft mod.

I really do love the themes of the mod. I do.

But it falls flat for me when other major characters’ struggles are either glossed over and barely mentioned, or just dismissed as not a real struggle.))

FUCK MY NEIGHBORS

They turned over all my planters now and I have NO PROOF but NOBODY else that lives here would do that. They know I have spoken to the SWAT sheriff twice now and he believes me and is on my side and all but the fuckin office will not listen to his expert advice to put a safety camera up at the pool area and he doesn't think I should have to put cameras up. Like there was a literal drug dealer that lived there before and was WAYYYYY quieter and chill and kind. My neighbor Darlene also a black woman with her one child has described these people as "ratchet" and told me they could not be reasoned with and want me to confront them and will likely keep bothering me tillthey get caught or I move out. I haven't checked my car but I fear they have fucked with it too. There's no cameras ANYWHERE on the premises. They want me to get a camera. I do not have it in my budget to get a cheap camera to put it up to deter people that should know what courtesy is as it isn't a fucking hard concept to understand.

I'm having fucking heart issues and a ptsd flare and autistc burnout from hell and god fuckin knows what else and now I can't fuckin sleep because ppl gotta be all in my fuckin plants to get back at me and FOR WHAT.

The pool was pristine and empty and they could have gone swimming despite the notes we all got. But no they chose to wreck my shit.

I do not give a damn if the pool is packed like a tin can and people swan dive off the balcony as long as they keep it down because I live here along with 20 other apartments with residents in just this area.

I don't know why they think it's just me calling because my neighbors do too.

This is fucking bullshit.

I do not need this stress.

I want to be financially independent but right now I NEED my parents to move me.

Fuck I mean I even told them i'd stay in a studio with essentials for a while if they could pay for storage but every safe area studio starts at 800-900 and I can't swing that by myself either.

I do know one person looking for a good roommate to live with and im going to ask my parents about a 2br 2bath place and let her just pay less rent to give em a break. Idfk what else to do. Maybe they will agree and she will be thrilled to move in. I dunno tho because she has her kids on the weekends but i know she's not terrible.

It's almost impossible to speak with my dad. He was an embarrassing ass coming over here and i told him not to touch the plant massacre and he moved shit before the officer could take goddamn pictures.

Then as I'm done sweeping up while the officer stood there because I was terrified feeling like as soon as he walked to go back home and my dad left the fucking neighbors were screaming laughing at "that white bitch sweeping up all the dirt was so funny"

I was super upset and Travis is like "Yeah you need to move" and everyone is like "yeah you should move" and ive been calling places and literally every place even the ghetto is "too expensive" and I have offered to try and put money towards various things if it will help me move faster.

I do not have another adult to cosign a lease with and being on SSI I can't sign a lease myself currently and if I could get a housing voucher the areas they are in aren't any safer and they do not allow animals no exceptions.

I don't have an appointment with you for next week. This is VERY DISTRESSING. I need to maybe have a check in if you have the time to call briefly. I don't know what to do and I don't know if im handling any of this well and im scared to leave my apartment now.

Like I do not care if it was just planters. It has been TWICE now.

I'm not crazy and they are doing shit to fuck with my head and damaging my property and because I have no camera money they are getting away with it. Plus there is nowhere to mount the damn cameras. I cannot run a cord or mount without like a professional install.

Fuck this.

I just want to live in peace and heal and have a life without worrying if i'm going to wake up to more shit broken or worse.

I legitimately almost had to go to the fucking hospital b/c my bpm was tachycardia when I checked it with my EKG tool. Had to CHEW my anxiety med and resist barfing to get it to kick in faster.

I'm sweating like hell from stress. I keep being unable to speak at times. I am getting MORE fight or flight urges and the coping mechanisms aren't doing shit currently.

I can smell someone smoking cigarettes outside my apartment but I am too scared to open my door and look.

No just fucking NO NOPE I FUCKING CANNOT THIS IS NOT OK. I go through enough already.
