My Essager USB Type C Cable 3A review w/ my Accezz  Type-C To Micro USB Adapter and my Romoss Sense  6 Plus Pro Power Bank  (w/ my Paper Dolls) - Part 11  [Aug 22, 2021]
Hi! Here’s part 11 of my Essager USB Type C Cable with my Romoss Sense 6 Plus Pro power bank [PH80 Pro], my Anker Powerport 2 USB Charger, and my paper dolls.
Well, it seems my current Romoss power bank has been rested like a lazy couch potato for a very long time ever since. With the last record that I charged back on May 24th of this year. But now, laziness is over and it’s time to charge again with my combined USB cable with Accezz USB Adapter and Essager USB Type C Cable 3A! And in today’s part, is exactly what I’m gonna do right now!⚡🔋🙂
If you haven’t seen my Part 10 of the same topic, then please [CLICK ME!].
BTW #1: I completely forget to upload two photos from  May 24th, so I already upload them anyway.😅
So without further ado, let’s get started:
1st & 2nd Image(s): • So once again, here are the tools that I need. You’ve already seen these before, so I can’t explain them to everyone because you’ve already known what I’m doing.😉
• My Paper Dolls knowns about it, but the only thing you didn’t realize is those blue cover caps on my Anker USB Charger and my Romoss Power Bank (at the top).🔵
BTW #2: Please check out My USB Silicon Dust Cover Cap Review, after you read this:↓
• Part 1 [Aug 7th, 2021] • Part 2 (Final) [Aug 14th, 2021]
3rd to 5th Image(s): • Now, my charging process is set up, and I’ll plug the Micro USB port (from my Romoss Power Bank) with my combined USB cable for an initial charging time test!⚡️🔋🙂 Estimated time to charge begins at 2:12 AM.🕑
•So, while we’re waiting to full charge, I’ll grab some food from the fridge and feed it to my paper dolls, well not just me you know.😋
6th to 7th Image(s): • Hours later, at the estimated time of 12:05 PM 🕛, my Romoss power bank has now fully charged!⚡️🔋
• My paper dolls wake up from their sleep, and they miss... lol😅
• The total time to fully charge for my Romoss Power Bank (PH80 Pro) from 2:12 AM 🕑to 12:05 PM 🕛 is 9 hours and 53 Minutes.
Here are my comparisons from my previous charging time test:
• Jan 22nd, 2021 [Anker Powerport 2 using Type C] - 3:21 AM to 11:13 AM = 7 hours 52 minutes • May 24th, 2021 [Huawei USB Charging Brick using using Type C] - 3:40 AM to 11:08 AM = 7 hours 28 minutes
• Well, it turns out the Type-C (with Powerport 2 plugged in) is still fast charge time than equipping with a Micro USB adapter by 2 hours behind. I see.
Overall: • Well, I think it’s a good charge test. And it seems Type-C had better fast charge results than using my Micro USB Adapter from Accezz. Though I’m not done yet, because I have no last charging time test, and that is my Huawei USB charging brick. You’ve already seen it before, but now I’ll do it again one last time. I’ll see you in the part finale, very soon.🙂
Well, that’s all for now. If you want to see my previous parts of the same topic review, I’ll provide some links below.↓😉
My Essager USB Type C Cable 3A: • Part 1 [Jan 4,2021] • Part 2 [Jan 22, 2021] • Part 3 [Mar 30, 2021] • Part 4 [Apr 2, 2021] • Part 5 [Apr 14, 2021] • Part 6 [Apr 17, 2021] • Part 7 [Apr 20, 2021] • Part 8 [Apr 23, 2021] • Part 9 [Apr 27, 2021] • Part 10 [May 24, 2021]

On Translations
Once again, I’m just plain incensed by dumbasses who think it’s okay to firstly, steal someone else’s hard work and secondly, think they’ve got some right to edit that person’s work because they think they’ve got a better grip on English (not true btw) - It didn’t happen to me (well, as far as I know) and I’m not in the Guardian fandom and I don’t personally know the person who’s dealing with this ridiculous shit, but oof am I angry after seeing the tweet.
Just saw on twitter that some asshole stole a translator’s works (Guardian, Chinese to English) and edited it - Yes it’s just like the MDZS saga a few weeks ago when some white person who doesn’t have any Chinese language knowledge, tried to ‘improve’ translations done by another person who actually knows what they’re doing in both Chinese and English - And then put in on Wattpad with a ridiculous letter and intro where they said: “Great things can be made greater” to explain why they edited the English of the original translation.
“Great things can be made greater,” said the thief.
“I hope my actions will be appreciated,” said the thief again.
Like wow, once again, the audacity - There’ve been extensive arguments on translations since the MDZS saga a few weeks ago and obviously the fan who took ExR’s translations and ‘made them better’ stupidly stepped on a landmine by fucking with the MDZS fandom that has a longer history, more resources and clout than the amount of time she’s been exposed to MDZS via CQL, and got bitch-slapped by the rest of the fandom where there exists a majority of fans knowing clearly what to do and not to do.
Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of all fandoms, especially smaller ones - The user i saw is a translator for Guardian and the mofo 1. Stole their translations 2. Edited the translations to ‘better english’ 3. Wrote that they don’t know who did the original translations but “they know where to find me” *cue my eyeroll* 4. And after op commented to say please credit at the very least in May, they’ve been ignored so far - but luckily they’ve got some supporters as well to help report the mofo.
Aside from the ridiculous thievery (not crediting, blatantly lying and stealing, being an arrogant, indecent person stuck on that high horse) of course, the “I believe that great things can be made greater” is a fucking load of bullshit in this instance, and I mean taking someone else’s translations and adding your own spin to it because you think you’ve taken tests in English as a first language in school all your life (fuck off, a lot of these translators did too), that you’ve got some superiority over English or because you think it reads funny?
Granted, most fan translators don’t put up flawless translations (once again, these translators are FREE LABOUR), but you get it for free and you don’t have to (and can’t) read the original text, so suck it up.
Moreover, the disgust that I feel at the claim that the thief’s work is now ‘greater’ is extremely visceral - It’s not a greater piece of work because the thief stole it, period. No one asked for the thief’s help.
(In case you guys are curious the stolen post on Wattpad is here: https://my.w.tt/7dehLj7D56 and if you’d like to report just follow the instructions)
On Chinese to English translations:
1. If you don’t have good grasp of the original language, you have no right editing the translated work after, regardless of language. Until you can clearly understand the original idioms, context, characters etc. or have at least lived with the language for a substantial part of your life, honestly, just stop, you’ve got no right! 
Sure, some translators aren’t as good as you like them to be, but the argument is always, well, you wouldn’t even have this minimal translation if they didn’t do it, so yay you’re like a few sentences and words closer to the text than you were before. If it’s really that bad, hopefully there are better translations and you can ignore the one you’re looking at, but the same rules apply across all translations!! Don’t disrespect the translator (especially when they’ve done nothing wrong except try to give you access to more content).
2. For Chinese, it’s even worse because the language is known for its hidden nuances and complexities within just two to four characters that, when translated into English, can sometimes take up to two long sentences to explain. That’s why sometimes shit reads funny. It’s not that these translators can’t do English, but Chinese to English acrobatics is beyond your comprehension, hell sometimes it’s beyond translators’ comprehension, so thanks for editing something you’ve got no idea about. This user Bee made a very good argument thread IMO about this on Twitter which I suggest people read
Tumblr media
3. Adding your edits to a translated piece of work especially without permission or discussion with the translator, honestly who the fuck are you to do that? Either work your damn ass off by painstakingly translating the original and then editing it however you like, or just... enjoy the free content. Chinese BL novels (in this instance and as in many instances i’ve seen) and some of these translators have been around for longer than you’ve been in the fandom, so suddenly when you have an interest in the content, in a culture and language that you’ve never seen before, are unfamiliar with and have zero knowledge about, you think that as a fan you now have the right to edit someone else’s work that was already done correctly? 
The fact is if the translator wrote a bogus line in the English translations, you wouldn’t have known, and when you upload it as your own and ‘improve’ it, you would be a joke, but you didn’t read the original text did you, so what makes you are any sort of authority to edit the translations?
4. Of course this is not to say that non-Chinese speaking people can’t enjoy the same content or have excellent, poignant discussions and understanding over the content, but honestly a lot of translations don’t capture 100% of a Chinese novel because the nuances are just that complex, and translators do their best to convey it regardless - This is why RESPECT FOR THE TRANSLATOR IS IMPORTANT. And I don’t mean simply paying lip service and typing “we respect all translators for their hard work on this work”, and then disrespect it entirely by not crediting, by the simple act of editing without permission etc.
Respect their interpretation and translations, because it can differ from translator to translator translating the same sentence (and people who don’t speak the original language want to compete with that, I don’t understand?!)
5. Honestly, considering how people are still arguing on the semantics of the Bible for example, not only in its original language but also in English alone - if people can’t agree on every sentence of the holy text and what each sentence means to different people, fan translators get a fucking pass
6. I read in Bee’s threads where someone disagreed with their argument of ‘only people who understand the original language can translate and edit’, saying that it’s okay if the editor doesn’t have a grasp of the original language - I understand that yes, someone else’s English might truly be better (for e.g. actual editors but also please don’t proclaim that you’re one just because you think the translator hasn’t lived with English for most of their lives or whatever), but even then, the editor has to work really closely with the translator because the translator is the primary source of the translation i.e. they know exactly what is going on in a particular sentence in their heads that may not have been translated fully, so how can non-Chinese reading editors truly understand the translated text on its own, editing in silos?
7. Perhaps in actual publishing houses that deal with official translations, this is a fallacy that is ever-present and editors do that anyway without understanding the original text (not sure about this, I’m bringing up the point for consideration, hypothetically putting this out here), but my issue with ‘editors’ in the fan translations space is that they come off sitting on some high horse because they think they’re better in English than you are (which of course yes, might be true, but then read points 1-6 again)
8. A thief is a thief, don’t put up an open letter or disclaimer explaining your motivations. It’s plain and simple, you stole someone else’s work, claimed it for your own and are riding on the great (sometimes not so great but still great, if you get what I mean) work that the translator did. You don’t get to claim ownership for any part of it, even your edits. And once again, “original work belongs to the translators” without actually naming the translators? Fuck off.
9. God, I hate Wattpad and Instagram (okay sometimes Twitter but Twitter seems to be a halfway point) - The Sanctuaries for Lazy Content Thieves Where The Platform Endorses Their Shitty Behaviour
10. Aside from translations, I’ve also seen assholes stealing like shitposts and jokes - These are the hardest to prove as well and it’s almost impossible to claim ownership when someone steals your jokes. Thieves only wish they had as creative a brain as some of you (didn’t happen to me but to a mutual) do. The audacity. The audacity! if the work was actually done and paid and recorded, if TurnItIn.com was available for fandom posts, these thieves would be out of gas.
11. Fan translators are not obligated to answer to any of their readers when it comes to why they translated something a certain way. You don’t like it or don’t agree with it, simply ignore, close the tab and go find another translation you like, it’s that simple. Nowadays readers 1. Threaten/Diss the translator directly and rudely 2. Steal the work 3. Add their own spin on it without understanding the original content and say: Yay! Look at this I made it so much better so give me some attention 
*****
The point of this post is not to claim ownership over any fandom or content just because translators or Chinese-speaking/reading people in the fandom know the content better. It’s also not to say that non-Chinese speaking/reading people can’t enjoy, understand, have great discussions over original Chinese content, because just from MDZS alone you can see that they can. Of course there are also individuals who might not be able to speak the language but are familiar with Chinese culture etc. because they’ve studied or lived it well, or maybe they’ve actually watched decades of Chinese drama to be able to analyse it properly now, all that’s awesome. 
Also, I’m all for people who are learning Chinese (or any language for that matter) to translate something as practice. That’s great, that’s good, that’s to be admired!! 
It’s non-Chinese speaking/reading people who claim they know the original content better than translators without any discussions, claiming some superiority over the content because they think the translation is not done well enough without doing any of the ground work that I really have an issue with (and also the fuckers who steal of course XD).
*****
And unfortunately I had too much time on my hands today and got pissed off after seeing the tweet so some of you have to read through this drivel XD

Fireheart - Chapter 18
Short and sweet today because I’m drowning in work! I will update the Masterlist later, I promise! But if you jump down like 2 posts, the link will be there (I know, I’m so lazy, it would have been faster to copy the link rather than type all of this, oops! xD) I’m a weirdo, I know!
Btw, if anyone wants to be tagged when I upload a new chapter, please just say so! I’d be more than happy too! And as promise, here’s my first tag: @tillyrubes10 I hope you love this new chapter! :D
CHAPTER 18
Sidetracking
Sunday was a blurred mix of images in Celaena’s mind, and she wasn’t sure what had been real, and what had been a dream. Waking up in a stranger’s room, she started piecing all the bits of information together, trying to collect as many facts as she could about her situation.
She got up from the bed and had a drink of water from the bedside table. There were a couple of blisters with painkillers, and she decided to take just one more to blur the pain and help her focus. She was done with feeling weak and useless. Her phone was also on the night table, connected to a charger on the wall that wasn’t her own; she was surprised to find it there as she couldn’t remember asking for one. 
Looking down at herself, she laughed; she was wearing a pair of male pajama pants with drawings of dinosaurs in all colors and shapes. After checking her phone, she started rushing around and picking up the few belongings that were scattered around the room, and throwing them back into her duffle bag. If she wanted to make it in time to go to school, she’d have to go back to the hotel to get her uniform, shower, get changed, and apply a ton of makeup. Probably too much makeup. Time was barely on her side. 
She looked around the room until she finally found a small mirror on the inside of the closet’s door. She looked pale, and the cut on her brow was still swollen, the skin around it was a mixture of green, yellow and purple. She rolled her sore shoulders and then lifted her top to look at the long cut on top of her hip bone; the skin around it felt a little tight, but the redness had almost disappeared and the stitches looked good.
As she heard voices outside the room, she hurried to her bag, grabbed her contacts, and put them on using the small mirror again. Her eyes were still sore from wearing the contacts for way longer than she was supposed to and sleeping with them the night before, but she added some eye drops and hoped it’d do for the moment. She barely remembered taking them off on Sunday and hoped she hadn’t been stupid enough to let any of the guys see her eyes. 
Not like they could make anything out of it anyway. 
A knock sounded at her door, and it slid open slowly almost as soon as she reached the handle.
“You’re up early,” Fenrys said, sounding surprised.
“Yes, I’m feeling way better.” 
“You’re leaving,” he said as his eyes darted around the room and focused on her bag. It wasn’t a question, but she answered anyway.
“I am, I need to head to school.” She bit her tongue as soon as the words were out of her mouth. The pain was certainly still messing with her mind, she normally wouldn’t have been so stupid to let such a big piece of information slip out of her mouth.
Fenrys’ eyes didn’t give much away, but his smirk did. “School, huh? Why don’t you join us for breakfast before you go? Connall’s making eggs, and he’s a fine cook.”
“I don’t really have time for-”
“I insist,” Fenrys hooked an arm around her and ushered her out of the room. “What kind of host would I be if I didn���t feed you, right? You haven’t eaten pretty much anything in two days, you need your strength back.” He might have noticed her body going tense at the contact because he let go of her almost as fast as he had grabbed her. “Please?” He added with pleading eyes.
Begrudgingly, she walked with him down the hall and towards the kitchen. It was probably a good idea to gather some information on these people before leaving anyway, and she was famished. 
The open plan lounge was small but practical. To her left, there was a couch in front of a small TV that had some blankets and a pillow on top, and two small armchairs. And to the right, a small kitchen and a table with four chairs around it. Connall was cooking on the stove, his back to them, and he barely looked over his shoulder as they walked into the room. 
“Morning, brother!” Fenrys chanted happily.
“Hm, morning,” Celaena said, feeling slightly uncomfortable but slowly slipping into the character she had to play. 
“Come on, let’s grab a seat,” Fenrys pointed to a chair, and she took a seat, looking around the room discreetly.
“So, it’s just the three of you living here?” She asked, pretending to make small talk.
“Yes, it is. So glad to see that you’re off your defensive horse.”
Celaena glared at him and then softened her look. “I apologize if I caused you any inconveniences or if I was rude. If I’m honest, my memories from what’s happened in the last day and a half are a bit hazy, but I know I owe you one; the stitches look great.”
Fenrys’ smile spread wide on his face as he looked at her up and down as if trying to check how well she was feeling. 
“You’re welcome, I’m glad you're feeling better. You have some color back on your cheeks... If you wanted to pay me back, you could always stay for a while longer, so I can make sure you’re properly healed.”
“I do feel almost back to my normal self,” Celaena shook her head, and Fenrys sighed as he smiled warmly at her.
“You are so much stronger than what meets the eyes, you know that, right? I think you might be the bravest teen I have ever encountered, you almost had those guys back at the alley.” He said encouragingly. 
Connall came over with two plates full of scrambled eggs and toast then, and put one in front of each of them, then returned to the stove and came back a moment later with his own plate, and a tray full of crispy bacon. Celaena was glad for the interruption as everybody looked at the food in awe.
“Bon appétit," Fenrys lifted a glass of orange juice as if doing a toast.
“Thanks, Connall, and thank you too, Fenrys.”
“Eat up,” Fenrys grabbed a forkful of eggs, and Celaena followed suit.
The eggs were delicious, and considering how hungry she was, she ate her whole plate without paying much attention to anything going on around her. Once she was done, she looked up, only to find both Fenrys and Connall staring at her.
“Do you want some more?” Connall asked jokingly, a half-smile showing on his face for the first time.
“Is there any more?” She asked softly, making both brothers laugh. Connall went over to the counter and returned with a new plate full of eggs and fresh bread.
“It was meant to be for Rowan, but he’s taking too long on the 24/7, so you can have it. I’ll make him more later.” He slid the plate in front of her, and Celaena grabbed a mouthful of egg, aware of Fenrys’ eyes still on her.
“So, school, huh?”
She looked up at him through her lashes and shook her head.
“I think you’re smart enough to know I won't tell you anything about it.”
Fenrys’ laughed out loud while Connall collected the empty plates and headed towards the sink. There were only a bunch of schools in the city, but they were enough for them to have to actively search if they wanted to find out which one she attended. 
“Girl, I don’t even know your name.”
“And that’s how it’s meant to remain. I need to leave, and you should forget any of this ever happened.”
“Are you sure you're feeling good enough to leave? I honestly don’t think you should be going to school, you need to rest and take care of those stitches. Do I need to remind you that you lost a lot of blood?”
“Trust me, I remember.”
Her eyes dropped back down to her plate as she ate slower now, the memories of everything that had happened catching back with her. She had been careless and stupid, she should have never allowed Cain to get so close to her, to make her so vulnerable. She didn’t want to admit it, but she was lucky Fenrys had seen them and stepped in; she didn’t want to imagine what would have happened if he didn’t.
When they heard the front door open, they both turned around and found Rowan standing under the threshold, his hands full of grocery bags.
“What the fuck is this?” He dropped the bags to the floor and slammed the door shut behind him.
Celaena jumped to her feet on instinct, and Fenrys walked forward, standing almost in front of her. “What’s wrong, Rowan?”
“What’s wrong?” Rowan yelled back. He stormed towards them and pushed Fenrys with a palm against his chest. “Couldn’t you have given her any other fucking seat?”
Celaena watched them confused as Fenrys’ expression changed, his eyes dropping and his palms raising. “I’m sorry mate, I didn’t… didn’t think about it.”
Rowan’s cheeks were bright red, one fist clenched by his side, and the other grabbing a fistful of Fenrys’ shirt. Celaena cleared her throat lightly, and Rowan turned to her as if remembering she was standing there. His eyes traveled down to the pajama pants she was wearing, and if she didn’t know the guy better, she would have thought his eyes were filling up with tears. He let go of Fenrys and, pushing him to the side, stormed towards the hallway.
“Fuck.” Fenrys ran after him, leaving Celaena standing on the spot, speechless and confused. He disappeared down the hall, and then she heard the knocking on a door, a door opening and closing, and muffled yelling as Fenrys and Rowan argued behind closed doors, possibly in Rowan’s bedroom. 
Connall showed up by her side, and she looked at him questioningly. “What was that about?” He shook his head and pointed to the bags by the door.
“Help me with the groceries.”
She followed him as they picked up the bags, took them to the kitchen counter, and started unpacking all the food. They worked in silence for a while, the muffled argument in the distance going quieter and quieter until Connall sighed and looked at her. 
“You were sitting on her seat,” he said, as if that explained everything.
“Who’s seat?”
“Rowan’s ex.”
“Oh, okay.” Confused, Celaena got a bunch of bananas out of a bag and passed them over to Connall, who set them on a fruit bowl and turned around to get some cans out of another bag. 
“So, what’s the deal? Is the seat sacred or something?” She grabbed the last of the apples from the bag and set them on the fruit bowl. Connall poked his head out of the pantry, looking at her with his characteristic nonchalant expression.
“She’s dead.”
Celaena’s jaw dropped, Connall’s head disappeared back behind the pantry’s door, and as if on queue, Rowan walked into the room. There was an awkward silence as Celaena held an empty bag in her hands, and Rowan just stood there in front of the hallway door, looking at her. As she opened her mouth to say something, anything, Fenrys showed up behind Rowan and set a hand hard on his shoulder.
“My mate here wanted to apologize for overreacting,” he said, a huge smile on his face. Rowan scoffed and rolled his eyes, but then looked at her, nodding lightly.
“I’m sorry for overreacting,” Rowan said, nonchalant.
“And… for being a moody prick?” Fenrys spur him on, making Rowan roll his eyes again.
“And for being a moody prick.” Rowan’s right corner of his mouth turned up ever so slightly.
“Apology accepted.” Celaena had to admit, she almost liked Fenrys and his way of dealing with things. But her time was over, and she needed to hurry and head to the hotel if she wanted to have enough time to do her makeup. There was probably no useful information within the apartment, nothing worth her time. “Now, it’s my time to head out.”
“Don’t forget to return Rowan his pajamas before you go.” Fenrys winked at her, and Celaena darted out of the kitchen, pushing the guys to the side as she passed the door and headed back to the bedroom. Rowan’s pajamas? She remembered then, barely, how Rowan had given her some of his clothes the day before. Had he been in the bathroom with her? She shook her head dismissing the crazy memory of Rowan helping her, that part surely must have been a dream. 
Celaena got her bag, and as she was about to head out of the room, her phone rang. It was Sam’s name on the screen.
“Cortland.”
“Hey, you’ve been MIA this weekend, I expected to hear more about the fight. Should I pop into the hotel before school?”
“I don’t think so, I’m running late and will be just in time for class.”
“Oh, okay. Any new developments I should hear about? I’ve heard from Arobynn, he’ll be out of town all week again, I think he’s headed over to Terrasen.”
“Not much, really. Look, can’t talk right now, gotta go.” She hung up, fixed her bag over her shoulder, and walked towards the lounge. 
All three flatmates were sitting on the couches as she approached. “Okay, thanks for your hospitality, but I guess this is goodbye.”
As Fenrys stood up, a loud knock sounded on the front door. Fenrys’ eyes widened, Rowan jumped to his feet, and Connall raised his eyebrows.
“You,” Fenrys mouthed to Rowan as he pointed at her. 
Rowan walked quickly to her side and pushed her gently with a hand in the small of her back. He led her towards the room on the back of the hall as she heard Fenrys calling ‘coming’ while he walked loudly around the lounge.
Rowan left the door ajar as he leaned in, his ear against the gap. 
“Hey, how can I help you?” Fenrys’ voice reached them from the entrance.
“I have a message for you all,” an unknown male voice replied. It sounded deep but young.
“What is Lorcan Salvaterre doing here?” Rowan murmured to himself, and Celaena stepped back, the school database popping in her head as the name rang a bell.

I’m byackkk!
Heyy people (by ‘people’ I mean myself and my 3 other followers, of which I am sure 2 are bot accounts) I am byackkk. I know I took a pretty long unannounced break but it’s not like I stopped writing or anything, which btw is never going to happen ‘cause even if I go blind (which, if it happens, wouldn’t be a surprise considering how I’ve been exploiting my poor eyes these days) or lose a limb or get diagnosed with cancer or a brain tumour or some such major thing, I will still find a way to talk to you (again, by ‘you’ I mean myself and the 3 other followers, of which I am sure 2 are bot accounts) probably I will start a podcast or something... IDK we’ll figure that out when I become handicapped.
Anyway, I hadn’t uploaded anything ‘cause a few weeks ago my Ayurvedic ophthalmologist advised me to steer clear of any kind of screen. Why? That’s a story for another day, you guys. Till then all you need to know is that I have some dumb problem in my right eye which is really a pain in the butt, I’ll just leave it there. Anyhoo, because of that prescription, I had to diligently keep most of the gadgets out of my way for most of the first two weeks in November. And then what happened was, my other (non-Ayurvedic ophthalmologist) told me that it was okay to use gadgets and that it doesn’t really make much of a difference to the condition that my eye suffers from. So that kinda opened the floodgates and... I am ashamed to admit this but I will do it anyway... I suffered a relapse, guys. If you don’t know what I am talking about, well, I am an addict... internet addict, to be specific.
Don’t laugh at me guysss. It is a real problem and it is, in fact, worse than any actual substance abuse ‘cause the internet is not illegal, so there’s more chance of it going a) undiagnosed and b) uncured. Yeah so, that kinda took me downhill and before I could even make sense of what was happening, I had wasted even my last two months this year down in some obscure YT rabbit hole. Not a good note end the year on eh? Nope. Not even by the standards of 2020. Anyway, there are still a few more days to go before we finally get to say goodbye to this cataclysmic year so maybe I’ll be able to turn the tables by then. (Pfft. Who am I even kidding?!) 
Soooo, why is it that I find myself out of the YouTube loop (SURPRISE! SURPRISE!) at 1:37 in the morning, sleeping (at least pretending to) in the living room of my grandparents' house on the divan with the fan turned to a genteel speed of 2, wrapped in a warm fuzzy rug (which would have in normal circumstances kissed to sleep even the most insomniac of people) writing this blog? That’s because even though I was on a break I hadn’t completely stopped writing, as I mentioned earlier. I did write some reallly good pieces, at least good by my own parameters, but it’s that, for most of the past few days I’ve either been too sucked up into the YT rabbit hole to find time to type them all here or have been just plain lazy to do so. But this particular night, even as I plopped down on this makeshift ‘bed’, I wasn’t feeling exactly soporific and so I thought since I have no better job and also since I was getting slightly bored of YT (Whuttt?!) I might as well stop kicking then can any further down the road and get down to writing some shit at least. And anyway, is there any better time than the middle of the night for the best of ideas strike the mind? I mean, the bathroom time might seem like a tough competitor but usually I find myself whiling away that time exercising my vocal cords (Yup, I just confessed to being a toilet singer) so, as far as my case goes, it does no better than coming a close second. Also, some really good Backstreet Boys songs were playing on my Spotify shuffle in the background so it would have been really foolish of me to resist the urge to write.
An idea is quite literally like a piece of shit, it doesn’t care about who you are, where you are or what you are doing. Once it has decided that it wants to squirm out of you, then it very much will get what it wants and find it’s way out. So who am I to say no to it?

“Malady 1″ Notes and This Shit is HOW Long???
*chugs a mug of milk*
Welcome. It’s time for a new update - pretty much exactly eight months after the last proper chapter (and about six months since the last upload in general).
I really did try to get this chapter finished before the end of 2019, but, well, things seldom work out the way you want them to which meant that the final chapter of 2019 was the Zucchini one and I’m so sorry.
Anyway.
I outlined like a third of Arc 4 all the way back in July 2018. Back then, all that mattered for me was to keep the arc as short as possible with as few chapters as possible. But then I started actually writing it and uhm, uh...
Well. The chapter-length exploded. “Travelling” was 18k, “Mystery” 19k + extra.
12k into “Malady” and only like 4-5 bullet points into my outline, I thought about either splitting the chapter into two separate proper chapters (Like I did before; the “Malady” content was actually supposed to be in “Mystery” too, July 2018!Me was super optimistic.) or just doing a Part 1 and Part 2. I chose the latter because I am too lazy to find a new chapter title I think they just belong very closely together.
Apart from not finding time to write, I actually had a bit of a hard time writing when I did find some. Trying to test my luck and just wanting to write something else for a change of pace so that I wouldn’t get sick of “Watchdog,” I applied for a zine last July. I actually got picked for it, and I wrote my piece in November. The word limit was 1,500 (!!!). My initial draft for it was more than twice as long and, of course, I had to cut it. It was super traumatic in a way (but also an interesting challenge) to trim it down through rounds and rounds and rounds of editing. Anyway, I’m sure something inside me short-circuited while editing my zine piece, and I just went crazy finishing “Malady.”
“Mystery” is 19,330 words long and the bonus file has a length of 1,511 (total: 20841).
And “Malady”? “Malady” ended up at a whopping 21,440 words. Less than 3k more and it would have been half a novel!
While editing it and seeing the word count hit 21k (the 21,000th word was “murderer” btw), my soul left my body for a second and I asked some other fanfiction writers about their average word lengths per chapter which ranged from 800-4,000 with 7,000 being a super long chapter. And I could have cut “Malady” not only once in half but many times more. I only didn’t because a) it has been months since my last update and I wanted to give you something longer as compensation and b) I wanted to trick myself because “relatively few chapters = short fanfiction! and I want to keep it short!” (We are only 23 proper chapters in and the entire thing has over 200,000 words yikes.)
Anyway, TL;DR: This chapter is 21k. It’s ridiculously long. I will try my very best to cut the chapters into more reasonable lengths starting with the next proper chapter (not “Malady - Part 2″, but the one after that which may or may not be named “Clockmaker,” let’s see).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Other Notes
The explanation for “Jeanne/Jean Gauthier” and “Alexandre Vidocq”: It’s John Watson and Sherlock Holmes :) Sorta.
Jean is a French John, Jeanne is a French female John. Watson derives from “Walter” and Gauthier is a French Walter.
“Sherlock Holmes” is just a super weird name. So I couldn’t do it the same way. Instead, I googled “real-life French Sherlock Holmes” or something like that.  Alexandre Lacassagne and Eugène-François Vidocq popped up, and I just combined their names.
The “anniversary” mentioned in “Malady 1″ is January 19, the day the events of the first three chapters happened.
Finding French food they could eat was a bit annoying. Because I would find sites saying that “Tarte Tatin is something eaten at French afternoon teas!” but Tarte Tatin was created in the 1880s. Anyway, now I know at least about the “Club des grands estomacs.”
Lastly, Tangled: The Series/Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure ends tomorrow. It saddens me beyond imagination, but it was a wonderful run and I am very grateful for it. The series and its songs influenced a lot of “Watchdog” and I feel quite bad not being able to talk about it because we are not far enough into the story. :( Still, I wanted to mention it here briefly because it’s ending and it means so much to me (and “Watchdog”). I will really miss getting new content.
(There’s a small song reference in “Malady 1″ which I added during the final read-through because I saw the opportunity and just had to change the wording to make it a little reference.)

Karmiro Kiss
Tumblr media
https://www.deviantart.com/billiejean485/art/Karmiro-Kiss-800793669
(Text from DA:)
First of all, I'd like to state something: I don't usually upload art such as this often or at all, and I rarely even show it to anyone. Reason? Been bullied a hell of a lot for it in younger years, so I learned to keep things like these to myself. However, I am pretty sure the Karmiro fans would appreciate it, and I am having a really hard time finding artwork devoted to this ship myself (kudos to Iamaddictedtocoffee and KenKic4Ever - you guys are IMO the best I could find), and I honestly wanted to contribute.
Second thing I wanted to mention is that - although the show itself made me a huge Karmiro fan, this particular piece/sketch came as an inspiration from reading Arctimon's fics. My God - for the past 6 years I've been having a really hard time finding quality fanfics (I got older, and my standards became very high), and their in particular are among those rare that make me cling to it like an idiot, rereading it until I know it by heart (still in the process of achieving that btw XD). I haven't left a review yet, but, I can say here that that level of quality English, original ideas and great imagination is not something that you just stumble upon in the fan fiction world easily. I'm blown away. Still am. Still haven't read everything, so I won't drop that mentioned review yet. But, Arctimon, if you're reading this - you have my huge support, and I'm a really big fan.
Now on to the rant on the art aspect of this sketch.
I don't have much experience in drawing a kiss, and still learning to do that. What killed me even more here is just the position (that I probably didn't even figure out well) of the two - if you have that steamy kiss where both sides try to pull each other into it, and a couple with height differences between a girl and a boy such as Hiro and Karmi, everything gets complicated. The arm position is probably off (because yours truly was lazy enough not to reference anything). I hope at least I got their faces right - I haven't drawn either of the two enough for practice. Oh, and Karmi's hair was ridiculously difficult for me; it should be simple, but nope.
Ah, yes, and the Baymax sketch in the bg - the body probably should have been a bit bigger, but 'anatomy' wise I think it's okay. I just placed him in the wrong spot. And I have a feeling that it made perspective make no sense (he's speechless, btw XD).
Okay, and two last things.
I love the fact that Hiro is the shorter one in this relationship and is probably standing on his toes somewhat here, while Karmi has to bend down and/or pull him up. It's so relatable and heart-warming. :D I remember how all that went in those years of life (14~16). Wish we'll manage to see him grow, but who knows. Also, depends what Disney plans for the sequel of the movie, if they're even planning it (it got them an Oscar, so chances are high).
But one thing that saddens me in that is that - for most characters that appear in TV shows that are based on the movie there is like a rule that they don't appear in the movie's sequel. Which brings me to the second thing.
Even though I ship them with all my heart, I see little possibilities for these two to become something more than friends (there is more chance for that happening with Hiro and Megan, although the whole Karmutie stuff has led us on to believe otherwise up until she showed up). It seems as though Hiro and Karmi's relationship was made only to reach some "good friends" climax and that that's the whole point of it. Even Karmi's crush on hero-Hiro looks more like something that came as a product of her loneliness rather than actual need for a romantic interest in her life (I think she'd be a lot more invested in her relationship with 'Captain Cutie' if this wasn't the case). And when you take into account that this is a show aimed at kids... it all makes sense. Kids don't like romantic stuff, nor do they need it. But what do they need? Learning more about friendship, especially with that girl or boy they tend to fight a lot and don't get along well. It's a perfect reason to make you think that that there will never be anything more in this relationship. But it gets on our older fans' nerves because - naturally, the characters are not kids, they're teens. Things function differently here. I mean, okay - Karmi and Hiro may not be each other's type (debatable) in the end, but you can't tell me they don't care for each other at it's base, and that they will learn to get their rivalry out of the way to make a clear path for that. And when that happens, everything's possible.
But coming back to the first thing I brought up - the characters from the TV show rarely, if ever, make it to the sequel of the movie. Which means, whatever happens with these two, they will probably split up. It's saddening, and I wish things would change there. Hey, seeing Karmi in the sequel would make who knows how many of us happy. And not just her - bunch of other characters too. Or at least give them an honorable mention.
It's because TV shows get made for kids that nothing from it gets transferred to the sequel of the movie, which gets made for audiences of all ages. If there's something I wish would change, it's that - having TV shows dumbed down for kids. And with that I mean - seeing characters a lot older act like they're children. What the heck is that teaching the little kids? That reality will never be like they saw it on TV?
Kudos, and a really big KUDOS to the shows that are tackling this particular thing. It's good and it's healthy. If you wanna make something for kids, make it really appropriate for kids. Don't tug on the nerves of us older people, because - whatever the world says, there will always be those older ones that watch cartoons, ages ranging from older teens to who knows how old. We don't like watching those dumbed down things, no matter how profitable it is for you, content-makers, to target it only for kids, who will get you the most money. Yeah, it's harder to make such stuff, we know, but it's not impossible. At least show a little effort.
But, concerning that, I can't complain on BH6's TV show anymore. The second season was fantastic so far, and those 'dumbed-down' elements were reduced to the bare minimum. I just hope it stays that way.
... Well, this was a whole lot that came out of me just because of posting one silly fangirl drawing. XD Hope some of you actually managed to read this.... Too bad all of this is going to get dumped in the Scraps' section (please make a Sketch section, DA!), like most of my uploads do.
I live and breathe sketches. lol
Oh well - thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. XD I'm really done this time.

Symphogear XV, Episode 1
Hey! Symphogear's back! And given that these are, historically, my most popular posts, I guess I get to do an episode reaction!
And before you ask, Crunchyroll until something better comes along, but I'm paying for this, I may as well use it.
Also, no pictures, because I'm lazy rn and don't feel like tempting fate and Tumblr's upload system.
Bloody handprints. This bodes well!
Is this the Frontier? It looks like the Frontier control room
Uhh, yeah, that's the Frontier, and they just turned on the Moon
Blue-haired deady guy says they can't explain anymore, and asks Fine for forgiveness. Factions in ancient humanity? Pro- sleeping with gods and anti-sleeping with gods?
And cut to a submarine. Wherever we are now, it's cold
Something is arming itself in response to the Symphogirls' approach. Apparently it's a "coffin" and a precursor relic. This bodes well!
Hibiki, if I'm not wrong, Lake Vostok is in Antarctica. Summer there tops out at, like, just under freezing.
Ah, and then Chris says the same thing. Good on you Chris, keep being smart.
Ah, that's a laser beam. Upside: the sun's out now, Hibiki!
"bone-chilling"... I hope that's the translators, but the way the line is delivered makes me afraid that it's not.
Can I have a coffin like that? Not just the particle beam, but the stupid penguin design too?
Baller transformation sequence, Hibiki. Keep it up.
Oh, pleasant surprise: translated insert songs!
Huh, crystal pillars after an attack. Y'know what those look like? The upgrade material in XDU.
Genjuro, it's a mobile autonomous mech. It's not "just" a coffin no matter how you look at it.
Ooh, the coffin has laser hornet drones! Another reason to want one!
Kirika and Shirabe just ice skating along. Truly this is Yuri on Ice.
Ouch. Just... slapped out of the air. That's gotta hurt.
Directed energy at... negative temperatures? That's... not how energy works? Like, at all?
Ah, Elfnein here to tell us that physics doesn't hold with this magic nonsense either. Good.
Less good: The Symphogirls are now frozen in XDU upgrade material
And flashback time! The Lydian school song again
Miku on the piano, teacher listening. Is this a test for Hibiki? God thing she gets lots of singing in these days as *a magical girl saving the world*. That's gotta help for practice, right?
Ah, it was a test. Looks like Hibiki didn't fail the year at least.
"... [Y]ou're singing in your heart". Yup, for the past four seasons! Maybe you saw it on the news that time she saved the moon? Or the time she saved the planet? Or the other time she saved the planet? Or that time she punched the devil so hard he exploded? She's gotten pretty good at singing, Teach. Maybe you just have unreasonably high standards?
"I know you're busy" Do you? I'd think working for the UN is good for a few missed tests.
"BTW", says a nearby public TV news report "remember that we're going to the moon together with the US, the country that TRIED TO NUKE US SIX MONTHS AGO. PRETTY FUCKING MAGNANIMOUS OF US TO NOT DEMAND, LIKE, REPARATIONS OR SANCTIONS OR SOMETHING. Anyway, on to sports. Todd?"
Okay, real talk here, the normal is important. The downside is that now that you've pointed it out, Hibiki, something's about to happen.
"What if I was causing trouble for someone?" okay, calling it now, Miku will end up in a 'gear fighting Hibiki before the end of the season. She'll have a good reason, and she'll end up fighting alongside her wife by the end, but it'll start with them fighting.
Oh look, an explosion. This is what you get for pointing out how normal it's been, Hibiki
Hey! Ogawa remembered that Miku is cleared for this stuff and picks her up too! Thanks, Ogawa.
Hibiki, you are 17 years old. You should know by know that lakes can freeze. Especially in Antarctica.
Elfnein says man-made climate change is real!
I mean, the implication that it was a precursor civilization moving scorpions around the planet is a bit of a stretch, it could've just been ancient humans, but sure, let's go with aliens.
"Adam was trying to use the power of the gods to accomplish a goal of some sort" Really? He didn't just want it to have it? Adam fucking Weisshaupt had a *goal*? I am shook.
Ah, the goal was to blow up a time traveling coffin. Because that was foreshadowed so well in AXZ.
And we're back to the present! Our girls are still frozen.
Are you... are you miming a telescope? Does that actually work because of bullshit catgirl magic, or are you just being silly?
I'm just going to assume that the leader of our new villain trio is about to raid Area 51. Nevada plates on the car and being in the middle of the desert, mostly. I'm going to ignore the fact that the terrain around Area 51 looks nothing like that.
Heh, Genjuro just gonna go punch a coffin shaped like a penguin mech. Don't worry about it, he's got his long-johns on.
"If they catch cold it'll be really bad!" Dude, catching a cold is the least of their worries right now; they're about to be crushed by an ancient alien coffin mech.
Hah! Everyone had their breakout moment at the same time! Way to steal Hibiki's rescuing people thunder girls.
And of course Tsubasa can surf. She's just that cool.
"Hibiki! Punch the laser!" "I don't understand what that means, but okay!"
"Analyzing and reconstructing is the fundamental principal of alchemy!" I mean... not quite? At least you're closer than you were last time though, kid.
Ooh, this music sounds important. Like an OP. Guess this is gonna be an important series of punches coming up.
"Even so! There's a song in my heart!" This has... implications. Although it does explain how the girls could sing in the vacuum of space all those times.
Good on you, Chris, aim and blow up that stupid penguin thing!
And once again Chris shows herself to be the smart one. "Don't talk about upcoming birthdays and party plans in the middle of a fight! That'll raise Death Flags!"
Ooh, alien body! It's got a bracer of some sort too. Five gets you ten it's the McGuffin for at least the first half of the season, and another 25% beyond that that it turns into Miku's new 'Gear.
Alright, the next 12 weeks are going to be painful waiting, aren't they? Consider my hype for the season.

30 for 30 - Dedication (Entry no.2)
March 28, 2019 - Thurs 3:03PM Mandaluyong City, Philippines
Woohoo! I just got out from the shower. Feeling fresh but not really feeling energized. It’s already afternoon and it’s my day off from work. I’ve been awake now for the past 21 hours because I’m actually waiting for the person who picks up the laundry to pick ours at four pm. So I have an hour left before I literally crash in bed. 
I’m feeling good about this 30 for 30 thing. Although I had come off with a bad energy from the office earlier this morning because of a person who decided to use their powers to trip everyone in the room, I’m way better now. (I’m on a graveyard shift, btw)
I’ve been contemplating on two things. First, I saw Justin Escalona’s video he uploaded last Monday about ending the Daily Docs, which makes me sad because he is one of the biggest inspirations for my vlogs right now. Second, I watched Casey Neistat’s video about Mr. Beast and his humble beginnings and where he’s at right now. 
There are two things in common -- the grind. They both started out very similar to where I am right now, a nobody. They simply decided they wanted to do one thing everyday. Every. Single. Day. 
Justin uploaded Daily Docs from Oct 2015 to March 2019. He uploaded videos non-stop for four whole years. That’s insane. Jimmy (Mr. Beast) also did the same thing. Uploaded thousands of videos because he wanted to. 
Lesson from it? If you completely decided that you want to do something, you will have to let go of everything else. Vices, laziness, spending too much time scrolling through Instagram stories, and all the other bullshit that life throws at them. They just dedicate. They even mentioned they sacrificed most of their teenage years for making videos where everyone thinks it’s weird or they’re not going to earn money, or not going to be successful someday. Well, look at them now. When everyone is doing the same thing -- making the most of the time in their youth doing the same thing as what others did. 
They are relentless. I am trying to be that type of person too. And I honestly think I can do it too. That’s why this blog series is created. After this, I will focus my energy towards more filmmaking. I envision myself to be one of the most famous writers in the Philippines. Also, I want to be a director. A filmmaker. Something way out of my conscience way back a couple of years ago. I always had kept it to myself but now I want to explore my passion. I want to grow and be the best version of myself each and every day. I’m happy to see progress, small progress.
I checked my time and it’s only 3:18. I still have a couple more minutes to complete this entry but my mind now is out of words to say. I’m glad I’m able to end my day with a positive energy. I’m glad to finish another entry. I’m looking forward to make a new one tomorrow. Let’s go.
P.S. Fuck that person who ruined my morning.

Sleepwalk
I was listening to Sleepwalk by Renee Olstead, and I had this idea.
Grump: Danny (from now on, most will be Danny. Unless you request someone else, which I will be happy to do!)
Btw! I'm this plot, Renee didn't write the lyrics. You did! She isn't even a singer in this universe. Just a heads up.
-
Y/n's POV
I can't sleep tonight. It's been a month since me and Danny broke up, but I can't help but still mourn our relationship. It was mutual, at least that's what he thinks. I would've never called it off. I was so in love with him. I still am. We told the fans, and they were pretty supportive in what we did. A lot of them were really sad, as was I. Danny is a singer just like me. I do silly songs just like him. But he encouraged me to do a cover album or a cover song. I did one album, Cover Me Up was the name. It got a lot of love, which I am very proud of.
I turn on my phone to check the time. 4:23 am. The bold numbers shine at me in front of Danny's face. I couldn't bring it to myself to change my screensaver. It's not like anyone's gonna see. I miss him a lot, every night gets harder than the last. He was my world. I've known him since senior year of high school, he was a huge part of my life. And now... That's no more. He's probably living his best life. Being Danny Sexbang and all. He probably has girls flying at his feet, throwing him their panties and offering 'the night of his life'. I understand I might be over thinking, but I can't help it. He was mine, and now he's out there doing who knows what. I let a few stray tears fall down ontou pillow. It's so lonely here at night now. I love what I do, singing, dancing, having fun. It was just so much more amazing when I had someone to share it with.
I lay my head back a stare at the ceiling. I need to distract myself, so I reach for my headphones and plug them in, looking for my Oldies playlist. I click on it and the song that comes on is Sleepwalk by Santo and Johnny. Listening to the slow beat and light guitar, I cry even more. Just my luck, huh? I can't just lay here, I really should get up and something. Writing usually helps me calm down. That's when I get an idea for a song, it's a bit sad and people will know exactly who its about. But maybe that's what needs to happen. My feelings should be out there. And if something goes wrong, I'll accept the outcomes.
I pull up my pen and notebook and just start writing.
"Sleepwalk, instead of dreamin' I
Sleepwalk.
Cause' I lost you and now, what am I to do?
Can't believe that we're through.
Sleep talk. Cause' I miss you, I sleep talk.
While the memories of you wither like a soul.
Darling I was so low.
The night fills me with blame. I see your face, tears through my brain.
I know I miss you so. I still love you, drives me insane.
Sleepwalk. Every night I just sleepwalk. Please come back, and when you walk inside the door, I will sleepwalk no more."
I immediately went to my computer set up and staring out my own little version of Sleepwalk. More of like a piano and violin cover, rather than guitar and drum. Once I had it to where I wanted the beat and rhythm, I pulled up my microphone and started singing away.
Danny's POV
This morning was the worst. I couldn't sleep at all, I've been up since 3:30 am. I guess I haven't really gotten used to sleeping by myself. Without y/n's body near mine, it's hard to even get tired. I do miss her. A lot actually. I know it was my idea to call off the relationship, but I was scared of what would happen if I didn't have enough time for her. I have game grumps, starbomb, and ninja sex party. She deserves someone who has all the time in the world to give her all the attention she deserves. When we told the fans, I didn't expect them to be so sad. I even lost a handful of fans because of it. She agreed, but I knew her better. She was on the verge of tears when she left. She was trying to be strong so I wouldn't see that side of her, but I know better than that. When she left I broke down. Gripped and clawed at my hair, cried on the edge of the bed, wondering if I had made the right choice. I big-huge part of me was telling myself I didn't.
My phone buzzes, and I see its a text from Arin.
When you get here I need to show you something.
Oh what fresh hell does he have to subject my eyes to. Last time he said that, I had to watch 12 Days Of Elves... Don't ask.
I finally arrived at the Grump Space. I see everyone in their usual area. Ryan and Matt at the computers, Ross and Barry in the kitchen making coffee, and the only other people here this early is Arin and me. Everyone else usually is a little late. "Thank god you're finally here. You haven't felt your phone buzzing?" I give him a confused look. "Other than you texting me, no. You know I have notifications turned off for my social media. What's going on?" He turns on the computer in front of us. "You should hear this before anything. I promise you, it's important." I roll my eyes. "This better not be some stupid shit, Arin!" I say with a light laugh. He shook his head, and I knew from the look in his eyes that this was in fact important.
Once the computer was fully on, he went to YouTube. Looking up y/n's name, I felt my stomach turn. Did she have a new boyfriend? Was she sick? Did she die?! I understand that last one is a bit of a long shot, but I tend to over think a lot.
A video was uploaded at 7:00 am this morning? "' sleepwalk? ' isn't that an old song?" I say confused. But I'm not all that surprised. She always did love the oldies. He nods his head. "She added her own lyrics and tune to it. And I think you should hear it." I nodded and put on some earphones, pushing play on the video. Her voices comes on, and it feels so amazing to hear her voice again. Even if it is just an intro in a YouTube video.
"Hello everyone. I had this idea for a song at like 3 in the morning. I couldn't sleep, so I made this. I hope you like it..."
The video fades to black and then it shows her at her little office space she has in her room. The music starts up, and at this point I notice her eyes. They're a little red and slightly puffy. She did a good job covering it up, but I've known her since senior year. She can't hide that from me.
She sings softly yet with so much passion and emotion. The lyrics sink in, and I know why Arin wanted to hear this. Its about me. I scroll down to look at the description and comments, and they all say things along the lines of 'I fucken sad now.' 'Wow, Danny really did a number on her' 'DANNY YOU NEED TO HEAR THIS SHIT!' 'This makes me so sad because she literally couldn't sleep thinking about him... Danny get your girl back!' 'Damn that made me tear up... '
After the video ended, I look at my phone. Y/n's face still smiles at me from behind the screen. I didn't want to change it, I couldn't do it. I felt several tears hit my leg, I didn't even realize i was crying. "Hey Dan, are you okay?" Arin puts his hand on my shoulder comfortingly. "No... I'm not at all." I open up Twitter and see thousands of notifications to nsp and game grumps. All of which telling me to see what I just saw. I stood up slowly, feeling a little disappointed in myself. How could I let her walk out of my life so easily...?
Y/n's POV
After I posted the video, I decided I should really try to get some sleep. Especially since thousands of people will blow up my phone later on. Once in bed again, I tried to think of all the possibilities and outcomes of this. It could either go really well, or go really horribly bad. I guess we'll just have to see.
I wake up several hours later to my phone ringing. The sky is still a little bright to I assume it's not that late. 'Suzy <3' shines up at me. I smile, me and her always stayed quite close. "Hello?" I try to run the sleep out of my eyes. "Hey, are feeling okay? I heard your song, and I know it's about Dan. How are you, hun?"
It means a lot that she's not just calling about GET HIM BACK! She just wants to know if I'm okay. "Honestly? I feel so empty. Luckily today is just a lazy day so I don't have to adult today. But still.... I feel lost." I hear her sigh, "I know, y/n. It sucks. But you have me! And I'm way better than Danny!" She says jokingly. "Damn right you are! I'll call you a bit later when I'm more awake, okay?" We say our goodbyes and I sit up more in bed. I take a quick look at my notification bar and just as I expected, its blowin up. 'When will I stop being a pussy?' My thoughts we're interrupted by several rings of my doorbell.
Without looking through the peephole I open the door, only to see a certain curly haired man standing on my doorstep. "Danny? What are you doing here?" His eyes are glazed over and puffy as if he had just finished crying. He looked down. "I.... I heard your song. Was it... Was it about me? I'm sorry, I just need to know. I couldn't focus at all today during work. And on my way home, I just couldn't take it anymore. I have to know." My anxiety goes up a long shot. My eyes looking at everyone but him. "Y/n... I need to know." I slowly nod my head, still avoiding his eyes. "May I come in? I think we should talk.." I scoot to the side to let him in. "I'm sorry if I caused a lot of drama. I just thought... It would be better if I just made it into a song rather than.. Just telling you." I confessed. He grabbed my shoulders. "Don't be sorry, y/n. When we broke up, and you left. I broke down. I couldn't handle the fact that I just let you go.. I'm sorry."
"Then why did you do it? Why wait so fucking long to come to my house?! Why hurt me this bad, leaving me all alone when all I wanted was you! I hated knowing that YOU let me just walk out. And you looked like you... Like you didn't even give a shit..." I couldn't help it. I let all my emotions explode on him. "Why do you think I did?! Y/n, you deserve someone who has the time for you, who will give you all the attention in the world. Someone who will GIVE you the world! I want nothing more than to have you back again, but you don't deserve someone like me! I love with all my soul, hell, I'd give up everything for your dumbass! I didn't say anything till now because I thought you'd be mad, and I thought you'd moved on, hated me even!" He was standing pretty close to me by now. "Well no shit I'd be mad! You think I don't deserve you? Bullshit! You've already given me the world and more! Don't think that I don't understand about your job because I do the same fucking thing!!! I know it's hard, but I was willing to work even harder because I love you more than life itself! I deserve you just like you deserve me!" He rolled his eyes. "You're fucking gorgeous! You can have any man you want! What the hell is so special about me?" I got in his face once again, "because you are so much better than any other man I've met! We've known each other for YEARS and you think I'd just give all that up?! What kinda drugs are you on, Dan? Do you think I'm that fucken dumb? I haven't slept in weeks because it feels so horrible not having you next to me. That's some bullshit to say that I can have any man I want. I want YOU, dipshit!" I couldn't help it, I fell to my knees, shaking from trying to hold back tears. How he say that I didn't deserve him? He was my world, he still is my world. Nothing will change that.
He walks to me, and sits on the floor with me. I feel his arms wrap around me, and I lean into his chest. "I'm sorry.. I loved you more than anything. I still do. Can you please give me another chance..? Now, I won't ever think you don't deserve me. I won't think anything like that. You mean the world to me, y/n. Please don't forget that." I look up at him, seeing his eyes filled with new tears. "Well duh, how can i say no to this face?" I grab his cheeks and smush them together and laugh. "I love you too, Danny." He smiled and leaned in and gave me a much needed kiss.

Left - Zevran’s hair: Original model, reshaped for the sims. 
Right - Re-textured - remodeled:  Fully remodeled under the braid. I went all out with this because.... DA origins was..2009? Right? I can’t remember and I’m lazy. It was about then.... 
Anyways, it was in need of an update...  I should have remodeled the entire thing. But I’m here now so, fart. :/
Also ignore shit lighting/shaders. This is 3dsmax2012 with default lights. It looks like pure ass.
Also, BRAID looks like clunky anus. I’ll fix that later. It looks worse in the second pic because I blew a fart on smoothing and ignored the consequences. I saved the original braid already so fuck it. Redo.
Side note:
K so, I said I’d upload some stuff with Hawke... But I spent a day experimenting for fun with Xgen Hair in Maya ( I’m literally just learning Maya still).  It didn’t work too well. 
3d learning fuckshit(Maya):
I do hand placement for hair cards so that’s good in the aftermath.... I just need to learn the placement, density and the options with trial and error.  I learned 3dmodelling on milkshape(hurrhurrquakeHurrhurr2005update)  so this past year has been crazy with learning 4 programs at once! O.o I mostly deal with 3dsmax and zbrush but I learned them this past year....  
Hawke:
Anyways, I scrapped Hawke’s beard model... not only because I brain farted on maya, but because the glass shader in the sims 4 is ..... not good. Any hair models that overlapped the beard would look shit. So, I was maybe gonna go the kijiko simskin approach for the beard... but that would take a remodel and I am desperate to create Zevan now since the poll got me so excited!
I’m done Hawke’s beard texture and bloodswipe makeup. So I can always upload that if anyone is dying for it. Comment if you want it. In perspective.... 
Poll Shatery: 
The poll choosing Zevran got 9 votes total. 4 for Zevran. (BTW I love you pl that voted! <3 you!!!  
***Concerned note.... I have 600 follows. Maybe ppl hate polls? .. Or the site I chose for polls was shit as fuck. I think I need to use a different poll method...... My bestie tried to access the poll on mobile and he could not... sooooooo that’s pure shit....

Today’s topic: Dates in Sherlock and why we probably must ignore all of them (hint: cause they’re all wrong)
Seriously, it’s a mess. I am afraid that we will never figure out which year we’re currently in because we can’t. We don’t have the correct data. Because they’ve made a couple of mistakes. It happens that writers mess up from time to time. Sometimes, what looks like mistakes actually are mistakes and not hints or clues that have a deeper meaning.
What we know, for sure and it’s the only thing we know for sure is that John and Sherlock met on January 29th 2010. But what happens after then? Makes little to no sense. (Warning: this post is a bit long cause there are pics)
So 29th January 2010 > Sherlock and John meet for the first time
Tumblr media
TBB
Tumblr media
You see, even all the props from the casebook seem to fit the date on John’s blog (including just three but there are more)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
TGG (John says “Sorry for the delay in posting” but it’s been just three days since he posted about TBB and there is no way that the entire TGG happened within three days? or?) I say, April 1st 2010 = suspicious date #1
Tumblr media
But anyway, here we’re already done with S1, so onto S2; this blog entry, appears on screen in ASIB (AND the dates are, surprisingly enough, correct)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Several cases John has written about since then appear on screen in ASIB: The Greek Interpreter, The Speckled Blonde, Sherlock Holmes Baffled, Hat-Man and Robin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The entry Hat-man and Robin on John’s blog is dated August 12th. Then there is Aluminium Crutch which doesn’t appear on screen, but we can safely assume that it is September when John’s taken to Buckingham Palace where a naked Sherlock is waiting for him. There isn’t much to contradict John’s blog here.
Tumblr media
So far so good, no BIG discrepancies. But then, we all know what John says on 31st December (who knows what year)
Tumblr media
This for me and everybody else, is the first truly big WTF of the blog. It gets only messier from here. Because it’s not 2011, it’s 2010. Not that the casebook is a better source but the date on Sherlock’s phone says 31st December 2010
Tumblr media
And another prop from the casebook also places them in year 2010 
Tumblr media
But alright, let’s not dwell upon this, cause there’s another big ??? moment that happens on John’s blog, here
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Am I supposed to believe that only three days have passed between the moment John wrote down the The Woman entry and THOB entry? Surely, it must have taken longer than that. One explanation would be that THOB happened before ASIB and John decided to write it out of order but since he mentioned Irene in the THOB article this explanation is wrong. Also, let’s remember that the same thing on John’s blog happened with TBB and TGG (only three days between the entries). And also, on a side note, 16th March is when John’s blog gets hacked.
And another thing about the THOB entry, is that NONE of the props whether those on the show or the ones in the casebook fit the date on John’s blog. All the dates are post-March 16th dates. The bill with the date 26/04/11 on it, 
Tumblr media
The date on Sherlock’s laptop
Tumblr media
The date on the ticket
Tumblr media
Now, next on the list is TRF and we all know that John writes about Sherlock’s death on 16th June, which? surprise, surprise, doesn’t make any sense again, considering that, according to props, on 30th June they were just going to Dartmoor ^^^^
Tumblr media
And, to make even a BIGGER mess out of it, the year of Sherlock’s death, if we choose to believe the year on his gravestone is 2012.
Tumblr media
But hey, it’s supposed to be 2011 on the show, right? We’re not following John’s blog’s timeline cause that has been proven wrong already. So why 2012? Other than that, the casebook is pretty consistent and doesn’t make mistakes, but this prop must be a just mistake, just like John saying “before we go into 2012” must have been just a mistake. THOB happened in summer 2011 so if the date on Sherlock’s gravestone was correct that would mean there’d be a whole YEAR missing.
And then this; 20th April, I assume it is the very next year after Sherlock jumped. 
Tumblr media
If we choose to ignore Sherlock’s gravestone (let’s stretch and pretend that John was too devastated to notice that someone put a wrong year on Sherlock’s gravestone, cause Sherlock isn’t really dead and therefor the gravestone was fake anyway.)
So, anyway, if we choose to ignore it, let’s say that John has written this entry in 2012, roughly idk 9-10 months after Sherlock jumped. That means, Sherlock has returned in either October or November 2012 (idk, 1,5 year after he jumped? could be, even though John said that he had been grieving for two yers). We do know it’s November in TEH cause duh Guy Fawkes and bonfires and stuff. But, let’s not forget about MHR.
Tumblr media
MHR makes everything... worse... because you don’t say “the other day” about things that happened months ago, at least I usually don’t. SO let’s say Greg visited John in September 2012 okay. (John is already dating Mary, cause he said that he had found someone)
What we have here is a clean-shaven John Watson
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But, a month later? You cannot grow such a moustache in one month... and why even would you in the first place...
Tumblr media
Okay, this is getting long? oh my God, okay, anyway, John’s TEH entry
Tumblr media
Fast forward to TSOT which I already talked about today but I want to have it all in one place, so... the year is 2013, at least according to Sherlock’s sheet
Tumblr media
Now, the date on the wedding invitation says Saturday 18th May, but Sue did say that they “changed” the date later. By they I mean John and Mary, so the dates on Sherlock’s sheet might not be as wrong as they seem to be.
Tumblr media
I am gonna skip talking about The Bloody Guardsman and The Mayfly Man cases too much, cause yeah they obviously happened at some time between the wedding and Sherlock’s return, John has written about it on 29th June and 21st July respectively.
BUT then the wedding itself... Sherlock has hacked into John’s blog on August 11th which means that, according to the blog, the wedding must have happened in August as well cause John and Mary are still on “Sex holiday/honeymoon” Also, since Mary has been already showing signs of pregnancy she must have got pregnant at least a few weeks/cca month before the wedding, let’s say July, cause this is important too.
So, we all know that, Sherlock’s TSOT entry has been the last one on John’s blog, for a very long time and it still is, in fact, they told us that John Watson is no longer updating that blog. Could be that they are too lazy to upload it OR it could be a massive clue. Who even knows anymore, not me.
Tumblr media
Alright, so, lmao... HLV. HLV is... well, first of all, we know that Mary shoots Sherlock about a month after the wedding, cause in the beginning of HLV John says he hasn’t seen Sherlock in ages and Mary corrects him, cause it’s been just about a month.
Tumblr media
Then, about a week later, John finds out and stops talking to Mary for a mysterious amount of months, my bet is 3-4, but that depends on when the shooting happened. And, looks like it’s Christmas! Or so they say, the weather doesn’t suggests so at all.
Tumblr media
So, on “Christmas”
Tumblr media
Sherlock shoots Magnussen
Tumblr media
Then spends a week in a prison cell, according to TAB!Mycroft (but is that real? probably not but still worth a mention)
MYCROFT (gazing downwards reflectively): A week in a prison cell. I should have realised. SHERLOCK: Realised what? MYCROFT: That in your case, solitary confinement is locking you up with your worst enemy.  (x)
Still, that means, the Tarmac scene happens either very late in December or very early in January. Here, the tarmac scene, in case you forgot.
Tumblr media
In TAB they actully leave the Tarmac Scene, but then s4 happens AND WE DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ANYMORE.
Okay, the year should be 2014. Okay, fine, makes sense I guess. But what month it is? And how come that John’s hair has grown several inches in roughly idk, let’s say four moths, is my best bet. And why is John pretending he’s writing his blog when what is on screen is just a jpg pic (and he isn’t even logged in)? This has to do with timeline as well, cause he is not supposed to be updating his blog anymore, they told us. (And I am not sure doesn’t he say on “his blog” that he’s changing diapers or something? I am really really not sure but he also says that he is going to be a dad so newsflash: that doesn’t make too much sense either)
Johns hair btw...
Tumblr media
Anyway, given the fact that the wedding took place in summer, it should be April when Mary gives birth (despite the fact that they announced that Rosie was born in “December”)
Fast forward, the baby is a couple of months old, John has been cheating for, several weeks etc. but what month it is when Mary dies? Is it still 2014 or is it already 2015? Who knows? Nobody, there are no props with dates on it, they don’t ever directly tell us what month it is, it’s just a mess. Besides, it looks like it’s constantly either summer or autumn (I know, England, but trees aren’t supposed to have leaves all year long) All we know is that a few weeks after Mary dies John gets a new therapist and Sherlock starts obsessing over Culverton. Still looks like summer btw, which doesn’t make much sense, cause...
Tumblr media
....only a couple of days later Sherlock says that it’s his birthday? (and they DO know that his birthday is on January 6th) I mean, given the narrative, it could be, since Rosie was probably born in April, that’s 8 months till January and there was a lot of fast forward montages so it could be. But given the weather? HOW? Unless the season/weather is stuck cause it was summer/autumn when Sherlock got shot in HLV and he’s still in coma or something and last he was outside it was looking like that ^^. Or, the writers. are inconsistent and they don’t care. Who knows.
One more date, the only date we see on screen in s4, for as far as I recall? I am NOT sure. No idea if there are any in TFP but anyway...
Tumblr media
20th July 2014... is when The Culverton Smith Wing was opened, which only further confirms that in Sherlock’s universe it’s 2015 rn (if you try and ignore all the wrong dates that is). Rosie born in spring > fast forward through several months of TST > Mary dies > John and Sherlock don’t communicate for several weeks > it’s Sherlock’s birthday = January > Rosie at the end of TFP looks about the right age imo
TL;DR: It’s evident that Mofftiss must have made a few mistakes somewhere cause plenty of things just don’t add up at all and the dates are often wrong, not only on John’s blog but within the show as well. But, it’s not the only point of this post, so let’s consider it a recap or something. I am not trying to prove that they are lazy and forget things, like I said consider it a recap of ll that is fucky with this show.

A Foolproof Plan
Rating: G -T; for comic mischief.
Pairing: EreAni, Eren x Annie. Hints of other pairings.
Summary: How would Annie Leonhart ask her date to the Sadie Hawkin’s Dance? Here’s how! (No guarantees that it will all go smoothly… especially when your friends are idiots.)
Word Count: 1678
A/N: I love the RBA trio. Btw, this is slightly crack lol. That is all.
“Have you asked anyone to Sadies yet?”
If Annie Leonhart had to hear that question one more time…
Shiganshina High School’s Annual Sadie Hawkins’ Dance was but a week away.
All of her buddies had successfully asked their dates. Sasha was going with Connie, asking him after one particularly heated night of karaoke. Mikasa and Armin were going as friends, the crafty usage of a fortune cookie ultimately sealing the deal. Krista asked Reiner before first period with the help of a few others, each wearing t-shirts spelling out: S-A-D-I-E-S-?
Krista insisted on being the question mark.
Ymir coerced Bertolt using a charming combination of cleverly arranged Hershey’s kisses and brute force, putting on a show for everyone after his basketball game.
Someone managed to record the entire spectacle and upload it on YouTube. The video had over a hundred thousand hits last time Bertolt checked, lowkey dying of embarrassment but happy to have a date to the dance nonetheless.
At first, Annie was unsure if she even wanted to go, but her friends just wouldn’t give her a break.
“Come on, Annie!”
“Don’t be lame!”
“You have to go!”
The crew continued egging her on for the next couple days, reminding her that her crush had yet to be asked.
“I heard Eren doesn’t have a date yet.”
“You should ask him.”
“Do it!”
Annie was surprised Eren hadn’t been asked by anyone. When she mulled it over, the hints he kept dropping her at lunch made it seem as though he was waiting for her to ask him.
Hints within the realm of: “Wow, it sucks that I haven’t been asked to Sadies yet!”
And: “So I heard you haven’t asked anyone yet, Annie. Interesting…”
The real kicker: “Just so you know, Annie, I’m not doing anything Friday. Huh. That’s funny. Friday just so happens to be Sadies! What a coincidence, right?!”
Okay, okay. It was pretty obvious what he was trying to convey.
But how was Annie Leonhart going to play this out?
Everyone else had asked their dates in such cute and clever ways.
Mikasa practically went out of her way to ask Armin! A fortune cookie with the proposal written on the little piece of paper inside. A fortune cookie! A fortune cookie? Like, who does that?!
Sasha went all out with her Karaoke plan, stealing Connie’s heart by crooning away with songs like ‘Baby Come Back,’ and ‘Do Ya Think I’m Sexy.’
Krista had planned her proposal weeks in advance, ordering the special-made t-shirts ahead of time.
Ymir was going to be hard to top. No doubt, she made Bertolt an offer he couldn’t refuse, given her persuasive methods. It’s hard to say ‘no’ when a hottie with more sass than freaking Deadpool has you in a near chokehold and throws Hershey’s (and then literal) kisses all over your face.
In front of everyone at a varsity basketball game.
Annie was never the super competitive type, but she didn’t want to seem lazy either.
She couldn’t let her friends show her up, especially since it was their senior year.
It was do or die. Now or never. All or nothing.
This was it. Today was the day.
Annie Leonhart was ready to ask Eren Jaeger to the Sadie Hawkin’s Dance!
The only thing left for her to do was to time this out right. For now, she’d have to be quiet and remain perfectly still.
With the help of Reiner and Bertolt, she devised a foolproof plan, needing only a large cardboard box and a bag of gumballs.
Said bag of gumballs were in her hands. As for Annie, she was hiding in the giant cardboard box, carried delicately by Bertolt and Reiner as though they were handling a sort of ‘package.’ Seeing as how she only weighed around one hundred and ten pounds, she may as well have been a feather; no match for the muscular arms of her assistants.
The plan was for Reiner and Bertolt to ‘deliver’ the box containing the petite Annie to Eren’s house and from there, before Eren could open it- Booyah!
She’d burst open from the inside and surprise him!
Such a genius, she was!
Annie could make out a few distinct sounds from her position inside the box, readying herself mentally when she heard Reiner ring the doorbell to Eren’s house.
The door opened, followed by a slightly audible conversation.
“Reiner? Bertolt?” Eren looked back and forth between the two in confusion. “What are you guys doing here?”
Bertolt was sweating nervously, as usual. Reiner had the biggest shit-eating grin plastered on his face.
“Special delivery for Eren Jaeger.” Reiner had one hell of a hard time suppressing a hearty laugh. It was making his stomach hurt. His lungs especially needed the release.
Eren raised a brow as the two gently lowered the ‘package’ to the ground.
“What’s this all about?” Eren asked.
Bertolt began stuttering. Reiner took a step back.
“Why don’t you open it?” Reiner clapped his hands together, figuring that was a good enough cue for Annie. He wanted to see how the rest would play out
“Uh… okay.” Eren shrugged.
Before he could move to try and open his package, he was taken aback when the box started… moving.
Inside the box, poor Annie began worrying. Why couldn’t she jump out in a glorious blaze like she’d seen in the movies?
Shit, she thought. I can’t get out!
“Guys,” Eren stammered, “is there something… inside the box?”
His question went unanswered as Reiner’s eyes widened in horror. “Bertolt… when I said ‘use the glue on the kitchen counter,’ you didn’t happen to reach for the yellow bottle, did you? The one with the missing label?”
Bertolt nodded. “Uhh… well… yeah. I used that one”
“That was super glue, Bertolt!” Reiner shouted in agony. “Shit!”
“Oh, no!” Bertolt gasped.
Eren grimaced. “So, how the hell am I gonna get this thing open?!” The box kept jumbling around. Whatever, or whoever, was inside seemed desperate to get out. “And who the hell uses super glue instead of ya know, TAPE, to seal a package?!”
“We ran out of tape! Look, there’s no time to explain, Eren! We gotta get it open!” Reiner hastily picked up the box and tried frantically to pry it open with no more than his bare hands.
“I don’t think that’ll work, Reiner!” Bertolt implored the blond beast to settle it carefully on the front lawn and then quickly said a prayer. “Forgive me, Annie.” He whispered.
To the horror of those in his presence, he began kicking the sides of the box in an effort to weaken its construct.
“What the hell?!” Eren gasped.
“Bertolt! No!” Reiner ran to stop his friend from continuing. “That’s not how we’ll get it open.” Reiner rolled up his sleeves. “This is how we’ll get it open.”
With that, he began punching the top of the hefty cardboard box, with the intention of doling out enough damage to free the enslaved Annie from the package’s restraints.
Eren could only watch in shock, frozen where he stood like a deer in a headlight.
He came to his senses when he heard something inside squeal in distress.
“Stop!” Eren dashed over to stop the idiots from causing any further damage. “Didn’t you hear that just now? It made a noise!”
“It did?” Bertolt and Reiner asked in unison.
Eren paused for a moment and sighed. “This isn’t some kind of prank, right?” The chances of them messing with him were high, but the concerned looks on their faces appeared genuine.
When both giants shook their heads, Eren exhaled sharply and began walking to his garage.
“This thing is indestructible. I’m gonna go grab my dad’s chainsaw.”
Bertolt and Reiner nearly choked at his suggestion.
“You can’t be serious!” They cried out in sheer defeat.
“What choice do we have?!”
Just when all hope seemed lost, the box rumbled and jumbled around, like a volcano about to erupt.
Though the boys had no way of knowing what was happening, it wouldn’t be long before all their worries could be cast aside. Thankfully.
Annie, by the grace of gods above, hadn’t been harmed by the barbaric acts of her friends in their attempts at freeing her. She had been placed in the box with loads of bubblewrap and crinkle-cut paper as a means of cushioning her inside.
As a fall back plan, she had brought a special ring gifted to her from her father; a ring with a small sharp folding blade sheathed within.
Using the blade, she began methodically tearing away, finally managing to free herself after a few swipes.
Annie burst out of the box and stood up victoriously. After briefly dusting her knees, she reached for the bag of gumballs at her feet and made her way over to where Eren was standing.
All three boys were at a loss for words, watching her as though she had just risen from the grave.
“Here.” She handed Eren the gumballs nonchalantly, like the last few minutes never happened. “Open it.”
“Annie…” Eren couldn’t formulate a proper sentence, voice emptily trailing off.
Bertolt suddenly lost consciousness and fainted, to which Reiner gathered him in his arms to catch his fall. He fanned away at Bertolt, casually offering words of encouragement while trying not to laugh.
“Calm down,” he sighed. “Everything turned out all right.”
In another setting, Eren had hurriedly opened the bag of gumballs and fished out a small note inside.
The note read; I finally have the balls to ask you to Sadies.
Awh! Such neat hand-writing, too!
Eren smiled and looked back at Annie, pulling her in for a hug.
“Took you long enough,” he said, squeezing her tight.
Annie smirked, completely satisfied.
Although her plan hadn’t quite worked out the way she had intended, it was certainly one for the books.
Who else could say their date was about to use a chainsaw to free them from being stuffed inside a box?
Suffice to say, she definitely outshined all her friends- and even managed to surprise herself.

Heyhey, I’m the memer behind the suave fuckboi Jérôme. The name’s Naomi and if u like rap or just khiphop in general pls hit me up lets talk about my cHILDREN or my actual dad Simon Dominic. Also. Plot page is almost done [check back tomorrow or the day after GMT+1 time] but I’m always open to plot just on the fly, u feel. I’m very excited to finally rp this kid, ugh he’s so beautiful. I don’t even fuck with Got7 that much but Jaebum just works greatly and he’s my small son even though he could break me with his bicep but whatevs.
Ugh, I’m so excited to be here! (/ ‘з’)/
Under the cut you’ll get a “brief” look of his backstory (if you haven’t got the time to read my novel lmao. I do highly recommend it though for more details and such because I suck at summaries) plus some random facts cuz idk yooo
Also his name is technically Jérôme but I’m lazy af so I just write Jerome lol you can just write Jerome too lolol
Trigger Warning: Racism, Yellow Fever type ish, Bad Adoption and Violence kinda? (this shit heavy son :( )
First I want to clarify I’m Biracial (black/white) and I’ve suffered from some gross racist shit in the past but in no way am I trying to speak over Korean struggles regarding the topic. I tried to apply my own experiences to Jerome’s life like struggling with rejecting culture, European beauty standards, internalized colourism and just growing up not being able to talk to people going through the same stuff. My life hasn’t been as crazy as Jerome’s thank god but I just wanted to clarify before you dive into this or his biography. Wow, heavy. I’m sorry lol. Anyway, please enjoy my tiny son and I hope we’ll rp soon!
Mom got persuaded by her family to put him on adoption because she wasn’t married and dead beat dad just left her when it was discovered she was with child. He got adopted at the age of two by a Franco/Anglo couple who reside in France.
Adoptive parents have a bad case of the yellow fever.
Raised in France multilingual (French, English) Also Korean but when he got older he got really reluctant to it. Only when he met Marie he got into it again and then he went to Korea. So he would still make mistakes. 
He was named after his adoptive grandfather Jérôme Gauthier Senior and Leslie Cheung, the singer and actor. His birth name is Jeon Jun-Hoe. (but he doesn’t know his birth name)
When growing up he was often seen as “other” by classmates in a negative racist way and by his parents in a “positive” racist way. (note; positive in this sense doesn’t mean it was good for him, it was terrible for him. What I mean with “positive racism” is instead of viewing a race in a negative light (e.g. black people are all lazy) the subject is seen in a positive light that has negative connotations (e.g. Asian people are all hardworking). Even though hard working is a good attribute, it can cause negative feelings towards the person of that certain race. Fetishizing a culture or a race is never okay and in Jerome’s story he still bares the scars of it. 
Finally didn’t feel like an other when he met his now best friend Freddy who introduced him to his own friends.
Got into Hiphop mostly because of his friend Freddy but started songwriting a year before that. (Outkast is his shit bro)
Started a hiphop trio with Freddy and another friend Khaled called Blanc.
People loved them tbh they were great.
Hiphop gave his life a purpose. An outlet if you will. He was quite the emo little shit when he was younger. (and understandably so. :( my son.)
Had a lot of fights w/ his parents.
Lived with his grandpa for awhile when he couldn’t bare to be in the same room as his parents, let alone the same house.
Eventually moved to Paris to pursue higher education.
Met the love of his life there. (Y O G A P A N T S) 
It was awkward but great.
Marie aka the love of his life went to the same school as him and they dated for a long time before she eventually cheated on him.
Before she cheated on him though she helped him accept his Korean heritage (something his parents stripped away from him due to them forcing it upon him.) 
Went to New York in the summer of 2012 and got offered a job at a major record label when the CEO heard his lyrics. 
His girlfriend cheated on him during that time and found out a few months later after he returned to France. Almost beat the shit out of the dude who she cheated on him with.
Got expelled from school because of that fight. (parents blamed the “violent” rap music) and because life felt meaningless in Paris. He grabbed his bags and moved to Seoul to work under the record label.
Asked his adoptive parents for his adoption papers in that time because he couldn’t find his birth parents without them. Parents basically refused and he just fell head first in work to forget that. He also drank a lot sometimes but only when stress got to him.
Eventually changed companies to write under BC Entertainment before they signed him to BCreate. (his honey voice was too much for KBC lmao no but really though)
Ex girlfriend made an appearance during his debut years. (*writes connection form ;)*) got like really emo and savage during that time. 
Now that he got moved to just the regular BC Entertainment he’s really nervous about the past haunting him. With more fame more eyes are on him and just one slip up could ruin his career. Having almost beaten someone up is a great first scandal. Misogynistic words to his ex is another (I mean he called her a whore tho. like boi.) and being adopted ? oh boi. my poor son. 
PLS LOVE HIM HE NEEDS LOVE HE’S SO EMO DON’T LET HIS FUCKBOY AESTHETIC FOOL YOU ITS JUST PROTECTION. HE HAS DEMONS. PLS HOLD HIM.
Random facts!
I actually got inspired to write Jerome because I was struggling between Jooheon or Namjoon and I randomly started adding on an old muse of mine. 
Is connected to another muse of mine on my indie blog lol I’m like the Disney Channel I like to crossovers.
He has two tattoo’s, one on his right hip of a French Cavalry pistol because his grandfather had one in his antique shop *nudity warning* [x] [x] the model is Julian Schratter btw love him he’s great. And one which I’m still musing about. 
Dyed his hair pink to show support for female rappers as he’s now a producer/judge on Show Me The Money 6. You would think with his fuckboy image he’d be misogynistic but no women are great and he wants more women in the hiphop scene. His princesses are Jessi and Cheetah and his queen is Yoon Mirae tbh. He gets so excited when he hears good female rappers. 
Has a Oriental Short Hair as cat. Her name is Edith or Edi named after Edith Piaf, his grandfathers favourite singer. (here is how I see her [x] its a video) She’s like his true wife. If you ever catch him with her you might be confused at how cute Jerome suddenly is.
Looks down on idol rappers a lot. Not all of them (he’d be cool with rappers like Zico, Rap Monster, etc.), but just the manufactured ones. You know the ones that couldn’t sing so they debuted as a rapper, know nothing about hip hop. Those ones. Hiphop saved him in a way and to see pretty boys disrespect the art like that just rubs him the wrong way. He’s pretty vocal about it too and yo fans of groups drag him for it lol. It’s great I love it. 
The Weeknd is his favourite artist of this time. Like he has that image he tries to emulate. 
Is actually pretty sweet though. Like Marie and his parents fucked him up and with stress consuming him he’s kinda distant but get him comfortable and he’s a really kind soul. The kind of type to have you lay on his lap whilst you rant about your problems and he just listens.
Hates when foreign fans call him “oppa” like boi he will come for you. He once almost called out a girl doing that at the airport. He eventually just “tsk’ed” her as he walked to his car lol. Jerome is my idol. I’m srry KBC He’s not an idol he has a hard time controlling himself.
Has troubles dating so he doesn’t date at all. Like he really needs to fall for you to get him to start a relationship again but lol trust issues and a fucked up view of love kinda ruins him as a partner. I mean if your muse wanna try be my guest but GOOD LUCK lol.
Never dated a guy before because he only realized he was kinda bi when he was 19 and at the time he was in a relationship. And after that ended he went to Korea. So he only ever fucked with girls.
The story behind his “bi discovery” was thanks to the land of the free *eagle screeches in the background* basically he saw a guy and he was like “wow... ? what ?? okay.. ? you’re cute in like a ‘let me hold you and give you kisses’ kinda way ?? but you’re a dude?? o ?” but he never acted upon shit obviously. (COUGH ITS A PLOT COUGH) In hindsight he wishes he did something so he could’ve been like “I CHEATED ON YOU TOO YOU BITCH” but he’s a faithful boi. 
Hates liars. Please don’t lie to him. This isn’t for his sake but for your muses sake lmao he’s awful when he finds out. He holds a grudge.
Has a real bad self image due to years of racism thrown at him. Like complimenting him is like poison to him. Compliment his work not his looks. 
Contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t really sleep around a lot. His last sexual partner was probably before his debut tbh. 
Donates to the orphanage he was from secretly because he cares a lot. If the fame ever runs out he’d probably end up working there. 
Dig hard enough on youtube and you’ll find his old youtube channel where he uploaded covers and original songs together with Khaled and Freddy. It’s really nice. He seemed happy.
Is very suffocating when he cares. Like when he really likes you he’ll REALLY like you. You feel me? (he hasn’t learned from Marie because he never asked why she cheated on him? So IF he eventually becomes close to someone again, he might find himself in the same situation. C R I E S.)
eh eh do i know more little facts? idk it’ll be in his profile when I finally get around to making it (i had a whole week but suddenly everything happened in that week so i couldnt do it. but it’ll be up soon *nodnod*
Okay that’s it for now. Again. I CAN’T WAIT TO RP WITH Y’ALL I hope you’ll enjoy my muse <3

hello darkness my old friend i’ve come back on tumblr once again (after like one month of not uploading anything or reblogging or answering messages for that matter because im a shit person who is actually very busy)
once upon a time this was called the your fave crack edits maker watched the thing earlier review but let’s be honest im not editing a flying fuck lately so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  (here are part 1, part 2 AND part 3 tho)
warnings: i talk like a sailor, i haven’t been in touch with the fandom or with the whole franchise for like months and if you’re not that interested in the actual plot of the thing and you’re just watching out of love for the characters, there’s a 99% chance i’m even more disinterested than you (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:·゚✧
basically if you’re looking for in-depth analysis and metas yo this ain’t the post for you my friend
good luck reading lmao
it’s a truth universally acknowledged that if a tri movie is coming out, tumblr user dianaagron (clara for friends) won’t know about it until the day after, when she’ll wake up and check twitter after 84 years of not logging in and realize that yesterday was the day. actually, this time i remembered the episodes were out the same day they were released, but still it was because of good ol’ twitter, because with all the mess that’s going on with me (part of the reason why i’m never here) even if i happened to check at the beginning of the week when soushitsu was coming out, i still managed to completely forget about it in the span of a fucking day. also, i’m fucking pissed because i’ve always watched the thing after downloading the various episodes because that way i have all my stuff and i can go back and easily find caps and other stuff like that but nope not this time because i can’t fucking find a single torrent and i’m refusing to download subbed episodes because a) it’s gonna take so long to direct download something and b) what use are subbed episodes when i know i’d be replacing them with unsubbed ones as soon as i can find working dls (this is a cry of help: tell me where i can download the episodes, im dying, thank you)
one thing to take into account: i was extra pissed for various reasons yesterday night when i watched the first two episodes, so i’m not really sure if that’s why, compared to the shit that i had to deal with in real life, the episodes (in the contrary to all expectations) weren’t bad at all. truth is i actually liked this installment? INCREDIBLE, I KNOW. of course it had its nonsense moments and parts that made me roll my eyes (im buying pizza for everyone who can guess which were those moments) and other negative parts, but i really preferred movie 4 to movie 3. i’m guessing this is an unpopular opinion because i remember everyone was so happy with kokuhaku back in the day and i was the only soul going like lmao i didnt even cry but idk, i liked this one, it wasn’t bad. btw, i said i’m guessing mine could be an unpopular opinion because i’m writing this sorry excuse of a review before reading anything else cause i don’t want to be influenced :)))))
(save me ive written 500 words on nothing) (meanwhile i finally found torrent links) (and i had to pause the review because i ended up going out yesterday night so this is me talking one day later from what you’ve read before)
once again, i feel like nothing happened in the course of these four new episodes. now, i know i’m extremely slow when it comes to get plot points and all that (not because i’m that stupid, thank you very much, but because of my attention span varies from 1 second to 2 and a half so it’s hard for me to recall what happened in the previous installments unless i go and rewatch all of them - thing i won’t ever do because this girl right here is lazy as fuuuck) but if you sit down and think about what was revealed, you get close to nothing lmao.
winning points of the movie (for me):
not too many extreme closeups like in the previous installment. it flowed better, the animation quality wasn’t as terrible as it was in the previous four episodes (im saying this just by quickly looking at the caps i took - while in the other i had so many ugly caps here they all look presentable and usable) (i say this from the point of you of someone who makes edits of course, i dont have the knowledge of an animator lmao), the majority of the shots with mimi, which are the ones that i pay the most attention to, are super pretty, but also those with taichi’s!!! his design was super on point, i have many caps im probably gonna insert later of just him looking hella attractive, and sora!!! omg sora was so fucking beautiful in these episodes i was so :)))) yay for nice designs, they make me happy.
the lack of you know who for basically two episodes. it was so good, so nice, so calming. i was loving life and life was loving me.  
HOW THEY HANDLED THE TAIORATO!!!! if you know me or if you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know this already, but i’m saying this in case i have new readers (HI) or, y’know, to swipe some dust off: i’m not the biggest fan of the main three. that comes from the fact that michi is my otp and i love taishiro probably too much for my own sanity, so i tend to be on the taichi/koushiro/mimi & yamato/sora/jyou side of things (which is like, super unpopular because if it’s not taiorato then it’s yamichi, so you get why my life is a constant struggle). anyway, thing is that i actually loved the interactions between the three? it was light and it felt super real, it could easily be relatable. it was also clear to me that taichi’s and yamato’s roles in sora’s life were blatantly different and i also loved to see how the two of them while being in the same situation reacted differently, but i’m gonna touch this topic later. overall tho, good job on the dynamic between those three. im clapping my hands, i wasn’t excited about it when the movie poster came out five months ago but i’m so happy that they made me love the parts with taichi, yamato and sora.
it wasn’t heavy on fight scenes. i know. I KNOW. but as i’ve said, i’m not the average digimon fan so i’m happy with my bonds developing and less fights and all that stuff :))))
meiko exceeding all expectations and NOT CRYING for all four episodes. such sorcery. 
on the other hand tho
y’all, who the fuck is that ygdradude? am i supposed to know? did i miss a focal point? am i that disinterested in the plot to miss a fucking focal point????
also what the fuck was that part with i dont know his name, the teacher, with the white space shit and the talk about libra. what is libra, who is libra, what the hell, what the fuck
pedo gennai dear lord i felt so fucking uncomfortable 
remember when i said meiko didn’t cry? she didn’t cry because they replaced her with her partner and made meicoomon whine for 3/4 of the movie instead 
the opening scene ????????????????  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ artistic choice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the fact that they basically wasted half an episode (the last one) on three evolutions. they really need to cut down the timing of those, for real
i can’t think of anything else rn 
they could’ve kept meiko away for other three episodes if it was me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
then again they could’ve just kept meiko away from tri in general if it was me
warning: i have 98 screenshots ready to use, i’m gonna try to cut some stuff because that’s too many, but here we go 
Tumblr media
they were pulling some hikari shit right here (as well as some charlie chaplin sorcery for the whole sequence)
Tumblr media
that’s what i’m saying
Tumblr media
OKAY LISTEN, that fucking egg with the circular thing under it made me highkey hope for some sort of magic shit happening and bringing the 02 kids back because it looks like a digimental egg or however those things were called. like my hope was so highkey that i fucking ended up dreaming the night between me watching the first two episodes and the latter two that miyako was back. unfair. i hated it. i want my kids back. 
Tumblr media
taichi being handsome: exhibit A
Tumblr media
mimi being beautiful: exhibit A
Tumblr media
sora being incredibly pretty yet sad: exhibit A (i told you guys the design was extra better compared to the last movie) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
random caps taken merely for the fact that taichi and mimi were next to each other looking aesthetically pleasing to the eye  (also do you ever cry about the skin tone difference between these two because i tend to do that a lot) 
Tumblr media
i can’t stand them hahahahah
Tumblr media
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) frankly they could’ve shown yamato in the next scene so that way the foreshadowing would’ve been blunt and people wouldn’t still be bitching. or maybe they would anyway lmao. also look at the girls being all pretty together im so :))))
Tumblr media Tumblr media
just pretty mimi and taichi + koushiro talking i was :)))) i love them all i love my kids, especially kou when he goes on about his tea
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and i also FINALLY appreciated a koumi scene!!!! it happened!!!!! honestly, as i’ve said, i’m not entirely sure if it was because i was facing so much rl shit right before i watched the thing or what, but this time i was just enjoying what tri had to offer me without caring too much about other stuff like “ugh they’re pushing the fanservice with ship baits” and such. this was just plain cute, mimi was terribly in character, koushiro as well, and it was just the kind of interaction that i love. i love my kids pt. 2974521248 like, of course i would’ve loved for mimi to feed one to taichi, but i’m still somehow sane and i know they’ll never show something like that in canon? but still, it’s nice cause i know how differently from koushiro taichi would’ve reacted in a setting like this and i just can use it in my fanon world. goodbye.
Tumblr media
this is why i’m team taichi, yamato
Tumblr media
taichi being handsome: exhibit B
Tumblr media
JUST IMAGINE HIM LOOKING AT MIMI LIKE THAT BEFORE THEY KISS IM SO ??????????? im gonna make a manip just wait for it
Tumblr media
AH YES The Interaction™ also known as one of my fave parts of the movie lmao but it’s so nice whenever mimi talks it’s taichi the first one to answer im happy goodbye
Tumblr media
cutie patootie be looking at his cute patoote
Tumblr media
legit thought palmon was going to transform into sailor palmoon or something
Tumblr media
why so ugly good lord
Tumblr media
AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH THIS!!!! THIS THING RIGHT HERE!!!!  let me put it into context in case you don’t remember: this was taichi asking his LEGIT CANON BEST FRIEND IZUMI KOUSHIRO TO NOT PUSH HIMSELF TOO MUCH AND REST. can anything be as beautiful as this? this made my heart defrost, im alive, y’all need to reevaluate your “taichi and yamato are bffs” business because. of. this. right. here. (im slamming my fist on the table, in case you were wondering) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hikari being smug af with takeru tho, that gave me life as well. also jyourato sitting next to each other <33333
Tumblr media
AND THE SISTER IN LAWS <3333333 under a blanket that it’s so mimi’s 
Tumblr media
penis shot
Tumblr media
taichi you fool...
a word on the so called triangle that of a triangle it has nothing but whatever: it was clear to me that yamato and taichi hold two very different spots in sora’s life, while both being important to her. there are multiple times when we see yamato trying to make taichi break the ice and talk to sora, and that’s because he is her best friend, so he should be the one who is supposed to know how to make her feel better at all times. another thing i noticed was how it was yamato to be the most sensitive to sora (unsurprisingly so): you see it especially when taichi is busy with agumon and he’s still monitoring sora, worried
Tumblr media
here
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and of course this whole exchange was beautiful, and i don’t have much else to add. truly iconic. 
Tumblr media
[insert penis joke here]
Tumblr media
can we please take a moment to appreciate sora and mimi? they are so important
Tumblr media
DA BACKHUG DOE guess who also watches kdramas lmao
Tumblr media
minute 18 of episode 2 say goodbye to all your dreams of greatness 
Tumblr media
CRYING HE’S SO PRECIOUS I LOVE HIM SO MUCH imagine him holding a baby 
Tumblr media
i’m too lazy to go back and take another screenshot, but jyou with both palmon and patamon holding onto him was something else
Tumblr media
🙄  🙄  🙄  even here mere expression makes me 🙄  but at least she wasn’t crying
Tumblr media
i wasn’t
Tumblr media
actually, as studies say, mimi is, in fact, a libra
Tumblr media
why you know who tho when we all know it was sora who was supposed to be in the picture
Tumblr media
why you know who pt. 2 
Tumblr media
GET OFF THE RAILS YOU FUCKING FUCKS IS2G THEY FUCKING WAITED UNTIL THE LAST MOMENT TO GET OFF LIKE YAMATO AND KOUSHIRO U PRICKS IF YOU DON’T SEE THE OTHER TWO MOVING WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING, A HAND FROM THE SKY? THE TEA TO BE SERVED????
Tumblr media
the fluff tho
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the contrast between hikari being the calm one and having accepted the situation vs taichi still being unsure and lost was nicely done by making her facing the light and him staying in the shadows, good job with the cinematography im clapping my hands
Tumblr media
F U C K I N G  W H Y  no, but seriously, i was already uncomfortable before with him being on top of her but this just just like yikes to a whole new level like i just don’t get it???? was it necessary???? just ew
Tumblr media
i love mimi and the lowkey koukari pass it on
Tumblr media
who the fuck is ygdrasil tho
Tumblr media
ah yes, chosen children be so fit, they be running from huge monsters wanting to kill them off, they be escaping just with their two legs. incredible. 
Tumblr media
digimon au: cruise OR digimon au: titanic (spoiler: meiko is jack) 
Tumblr media
tag urself im jyou speaking the words of wisdom
Tumblr media
takeru was cute here
Tumblr media
weird lighting aka good luck to those who gif these scenes lmao
Tumblr media
teach me this choreography guys don’t keep it to urselves 
Tumblr media
this was some weird shit right here let me tell you
Tumblr media
ah yes again with the superhuman strength, surviving after a fucking huge machine slams you repeatedly against a mountain or smth like that
Tumblr media
ur the one saying it gennai get a fucking grip 
Tumblr media
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! MY JYOURA HEART, JYOU BEING DASHINGGGG how can they not believe him when he says he has a girlfriend i mean have you seen the dude? he’s going to be a doctor, he can fucking catch a girl falling from 20 meters up in the sky i meAN 
Tumblr media
THE REAL HIGHLIGHT OF THE MOVIE. GALS BEING PALS. (for real tho, i felt so blessed? it’s in moments like these that i just feel all the love for this anime, im so :)))))) )
Tumblr media
and jyou comforting sora as welllllll~~~~
and that’s it with the pics you guys!!! a couple of further points
if they didn’t waste half an episode on three evolutions, they could’ve just gone further with the plot, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
im not saying meiko grew on me, because i still want her out, but i can deal with her if he doesn’t cry as much as he did in the first three installments 
what’s up with that ygdradude and libra talk is my question
they still need to address the 02 kids mystery and i need my babies back 
the triangle is not, in fact, a triangle
i love my kids 
and the episodes weren’t bad, come on. they went a little further with the plot by showing that the chick whose name i don’t remember had a partner that died and so that was the reason for the reboot, so they did give some answers, and at least the pacing of this movie was faster than in the previous one. 
also, as i’ve said, idk what’s the popular opinion but i loved sora’s arc, it was nicely done and i don’t have anything to bitch about (except for meiko’s unnecessary presence). i felt for her and i wanted to wrap a blanket around her and just give her all the love.
and that’s it i think? 
im blocking out the memories of the scenes with gennai because im feeling super uncomfortable whenever i do
we’re talking first kiss between wang so and hae soo in scarlet heart levels of uncomfortable
the ending sequence was so cute <3333 especially sora and piyomon, they were my faves closely followed by taichi and agumon
and im done
thank you for reading
i’ll probably go back to my hibernation now 
ily all 
if you got to this point i’m truly buying you a pizza 
and let’s not forget the winning screencap, you can use it every day at every hour, every moment in your life

James Kennedy’s Latest Twitter Meltdown Proves 2019 Is Doomed · Betches
New year, new me, am I right? Not if you’re DJ James Kennedy (AKA the white Kanye West). In a turn of events that may shock you for someone with this nickname, James Kennedy kicked the new year off with a series of questionable tweets. If you’ve been watching Vanderpump Rules, you’ll know that James has been getting heat from fellow cast members after body-shaming costar Katie Maloney. Oh, and rapping about Jax cheating on Brittany while she was working. And also kind of for cheating on his girlfriend two years ago? How many episodes are we in again? What year is it? Anyway, James had a bad week, which in the VPR universe means he was uninvited from a birthday party and lost his job. Here’s the rundown of the first James Kennedy Twitter meltdown of 2019.
Let’s start with a screenshotted January 2nd tweet uploaded by Brittany:
The disgust continues. @itsjameskennedy I pray YOU will find peace some day. pic.twitter.com/OywfbyoRgC
— Brittany Cartwright (@BNCartwright) January 2, 2019
In case you’re too lazy to click on her tweet and read the quoted text, here’s what he says. “And Jax?! He is just a sad man after his daddy died. Coming for me cause I’m the only man he don’t like- brother make peace with your dead father please so you can be set free that’s goes for Lala also. Btw he made fun of George when he left.” As a side note, I cannot figure out who George is and it’s driving me wild. Fan theories in the comments please.
In other good news, James was apparently still drunk mad when he read Brittany’s tweet, because he responded with the following:
Wow…. just wow. pic.twitter.com/qOOKYquerR
— Jax (@mrjaxtaylor) January 3, 2019
Yes James. In case your drunkenness isn’t evident from the content of what you’re posting, please add random periods to drive the point home. Brilliant. Eventually, James—because he has publicists who require him to keep making money—deleted his tweets and tried two very different tactics to get out of this. First, the “I got hacked,” with a side of blatant lying about how he is perceived by the public. (James Kennedy? Positive? I think not.)
@mrjaxtaylor I don’t buy this pic.twitter.com/TV0YWuY6fR
— Lisa (@txldallas) January 2, 2019
Then, the sincere apology with a side of “but it wasn’t my fault because I was provoked.” Quick note to any celebs in need of PR guidance out there—you should do ONE or THE OTHER of these. Both is the worst look imaginable.
Hey I’m sorry for what I said about Jax and Lala and I apologize deeply to them and anyone I offended. I hope you guys also stop provoking me, thank you and I wish everyone a happy new year.
— James Kennedy (@itsjameskennedy) January 3, 2019
Jax and Brittany continued offering up swift rejections of this apology, with Jax doing the lord’s work posting new screenshotted evidence from James’ drunken Twitter spree as well.
There is a difference between someone who notices his wrongs and changes everything about his life for the better and someone who just doesn’t care who he hurts no matter what and has no intention of admitting his wrongs or changing. We know what’s real. Y’all see 30 mins
— Brittany Cartwright (@BNCartwright) January 3, 2019
Wow.. again with insulting women. After he just apologized. You are a joke my friend. You must seriously hate who are as a person. https://t.co/vDzOlC8Ba9
— Jax (@mrjaxtaylor) January 3, 2019
My favorite part of this whole drama is from an hour ago, in which Jax Taylor continues to rain hell down on James in whatever way he can. This time, it’s by tearing down a tweet Raquel posted from the Vanderpump dog show. According to Jax, Raquel “attempted to bid” on a puppy, “looked for money from James,” (who “has none so he bolted”), and then was ultimately rejected as a dog owner out of hand by Lisa—who “told the auctioneer “no way” and gave to the next bidder. Is any of this related to the rest of James’ tweets? Nope! But you’re out of your mind if you think I’m missing the opportunity to include some dog show drama.
You did not get out bid, we sat 10 feet from you when you attempted to bid on the puppy, you looked for money from James, he has none so he bolted and then Lisa saw it was you and told the auctioneer “no way” and gave to the next bidder. How can you lie when 300 people saw this. pic.twitter.com/tJvLFy5unN
— Jax (@mrjaxtaylor) January 3, 2019
And there you have it! Only three days into 2019, and if the James Kennedy Twitter meltdown is any indication, his resolutions are off to a great start. (I can only assume they were “drink less” and “win my friends back,” both of which are going exceedingly poorly right now.) If Jax’s resolutions, on the other hand, were “be more petty” and “continue to use Twitter as a catalog of personal vendettas,” then I’d say he’s doing great. I don’t usually like to support anything Jax does (gtfo with Mamaw’s Beer Cheese), but I’m really enjoying these twitter clap backs.
