It’s been a minute

Hello everyone. I was going to abandon this account all together because I’m traveling a lot more and overall happier not being fully involved in the GDC. HOWEVER, someone felt the need to speak on me AGAIN and not include the full story on what happened. If you were here last year, then you know. So lets address what happened last year shall we? On Instagram, I called out a group of people who were writing RAPE fanfiction about Billie Joe. For many reasons, this made me and others in the fandom uncomfortable, as those aren’t things you should even be writing about. So, I called them out. Others confided in me their issues with those people, I provided a safe place for them to rant to me and share with me more problematic things they’ve done. That made it to tumblr, this beautiful space where some people get praise where they don’t deserve it. Which leads me to Green Gay. They decided to DOXX ME. Which, someone today said they get their info from Indeed so they don’t view that as doxxing, but the info released about me wasn’t available on Indeed because I didn’t have an Indeed until later in 2022. I was doxxed and harassed for simply stating that RAPE FANFICS shouldn’t exist. They took that as “attacking” their friends. Which, I talked with one of them and we squashed the beef UNTIL i was doxxed. Consider the beef reheated. Let me address their post, step by step, shall we? This was posted on June 8, 2023 btw. A full year AFTER everything happened. The ask read as follows; “craziest moment in gd fandom was when someone got so mad at people writing gd rpf that they sent a link to one to billie (that he never would have seen otherwise) so he would like personally get offended about it but instead he just watched both accounts stories arguing back and forth with each other and didn’t respond in any way” Now lets address the didn’t respond, because he was hearting my stories and continued watching them (i will make a post with these screenshots and time stamps lmao) Now below is Green Gay’s response, lets debunk this because they weren’t even involved and got majority of it wrong since she wants to be a one-sided ass bitch and i’m tired of my mouth being in their fucking mouths.

I don’t care and never cared that Billie was looking through anyone’s stories, what he does is his business. However, I cared that they were writing rape fanfiction about Billie Joe and trying to play it off as he found them attractive, when he was just looking through stories of fans lol. Idk how self-absorded you have to be to think that Billie Joe, a 51 year old man (at the time 50) would be obsessed with you and find you hot when you’re likely the age of his son. (Idk their ages, dont care to know.) ANYWAYS, as we know Billie had deleted his Instagram later on in the year, but my main concern was with yall’s need to sexualize him. Like he isn’t a humanbeing. He see’s alot more than you think (WHICH WAS CONFIRMED TO ME BY HIM IN FEB OF 2023) Billie DID look through my stories then and even way after, hearting one where I talked about how gross it was to sexualize them. Seen below because I come with screenshots.

As seen above, you can see my original story, which had nothing to do with y’alls selfie or him scrolling through your stories. But you can see that’s his account and he heart reacted the message lmao. I did show this proof, which you wouldn’t know because you literally said at the end you only watched 15 seconds of my story. I never said rpf was the devil???? I said writing rape fanfiction and assuming peoples sexualities is weird. YOU have got to be the dumbest motherfucker on this app. I will drag the fuck out of you again, even if you doxx me again or send your damn minions after me. It’s gonna piss you off to know Billie had zero issues with me and literally made his way over to me in Feb to talk with me. Get fucked bro, honestly. I’ll be posting my experience meeting Billie Joe in due time, I just had to let y’all know that these bitches are calling me a lunatic when they’re still foaming at the mouth over something that happened over a year ago and was done and over with. Lets not forget Green Gay’s past with transphobia.

The murder of Tova Moberg

Tova Moberg (b. 1998 d. 2017) was brutally murdered by her boyfriend of 3 years, Billy Fagerström. Before her death she had endured years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of Billy.

She had lived under constant threats from him. A secret diary was found under her bed following her death as well as a USB stick filled with photographs of the abuse she endured. Among other things, he had threatened to drown her in a lake, dunked her head into a wall, beaten her with fists and various objects, forbidden her to see her friends, go to school and go to work. Her friends had long feared for her life, and Tova was terrified of Billy.

On May 14th, 2017 Billy made real of his threats. He strangled Tova and hit her in the head with a hammer about 20 times. Following this he strapped her dead body to a wheelbarrow on his parents farm where he lived and dumped her in a nearby lake.

After being found a horrifying tale of abuse soon began to form.

Text messages sent from Billy to Tova, translated from Swedish -

T - My lesson starts in 20 minutes. I don’t want to come today... I haven’t done anything to deserve to die and I’ve told you everything you’ve wanted to know. You have to calm down.

B - YOU DON’T WANT TO COME TODAY? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

B - YOU’RE GOING TO FUCKING COME HERE AS SOON AS YOU QUIT IM TELLING YOU

T - Calm down please

B - DECIDE IF YOU’RE COMING OR NOT

B - OR I’M HIDING IN YOUR GARAGE

B - YOU CUNT

B - ON YOUR BIRTHDAY I’M GONNA SPIT IN YOUR FACE

B - AND WHEN YOU GRADUATE THERE’LL BE A LOT OF MINGLE SO YOU’RE GONNA BE BEATEN TO BITS THE SAME NIGHT

B - AND I DECIDE WHEN YOU MINGLE

B - BECAUSE YOU HAVE A TWISTED FEMINIST IDEA

B - and NEVER think I’m not serious about your graduation

From Tova’s diary -

“So I told Billy and then all hell broke loose, he became totally fucking crazy and said that my dad is a pedophile and that he (Billy) is gonna kill us all etc... And I HAVE to go there because he wants “to talk” about how I’m going to solve this? How I’m going to clear his name. I don’t even understand anything anymore. It’s just getting worse and worse and he’s getting crazier and crazier.

I hope I survive tomorrow... Goodbye and Goodnight.

Btw I’ve taken one of the big knives out and am keeping it by my bed... If anything should happen...”

issa twilight tag game baybee

pick 5-10 characters and write your take on the canon version of them vs. fanon version of them. fanon doesn’t have to be what is generally accepted in the fandom, it can be your own idea of what you think a character is like. then tag the same number of people as characters you pick, if you can.

I was tagged by @leahclearwaterdefensesquad so let’s get into it baybeeee

Jacob

Canon:

Absolutely 1000% adored him and his pure goodness and supportive nature up until Smeyer suddenly wrote him as a violent piece of shit and blamed it on phasing (??????)

And THEN made him a permanent house dog of the Cullens in Breaking Dawn…….. 

Y’all already know how I feel about all that so I’m not getting into it

But trash

Done dirty only bc Smeyer realized she wrote a likable love interest and had to SQUASH that shit instead of making Edward more likable :|

We been knew

Fanon:

HOWEVER

I’ve actually really, really come to love some of the fanon takes of Jacob on here!!! 

I never really had a personal headcanon before the Twilight Renaissance besides “he fixes cars, he gives good hugs, and he’s kinda sad”

This is still true but that man (rn I’m thinking of Jacob as like… a 22 year old) is CRAFTY. 

I love the fanon takes where he sells his handmade jewelry on Etsy and starts his own mechanic shop

I love a man who’s good with his hands

In my personal headcanon now, he definitely works to start his own shop or goes to college to become an engineer, has some unresolved feelings about his sisters abandoning him that eventually get resolved with time, enjoys hanging out with Billy and admires him, probably makes jewelry for his friends’ and family’s birthdays

And would make the best dad ever in the future

He’s also super patient and treats his friends like family because his own family is so fragmented

I also imagine that he can’t fucking cook but he still tries. 

Btw I reject ALL forms of canon where Jacob and any other members of the pack end up hanging out with the Cullens for eternity bc those pasty mfs ruined their lives and need to MOVE AWAY so the pack can finally get some PEACE

Bella

Canon:

Horny white girl

No friends

Doesn’t cuss

Gets married and has a baby at 18 despite literally being Team Fuck Them Kids

Fanon: 

Ngl, I’ve really disconnected with the fandom when it comes to Bella

I do agree that she stays horny

But I do think the fandom sometimes overdoes it in terms of how chaotic she is bc she just… doesn’t give me that kind of vibe. She definitely wasn’t in her right mind in New Moon so that doesn’t count

In fact I find her mentally ill and I really really really want her to get a therapist

I don’t really care for Vampire Bella bc I felt that she lost all the parts of her personality that I really enjoyed

But when it comes to Human Bella, she’s just a chill girl

She’s a Virgo. She was an adult at like, 12

In my personal headcanon, she gets the distance she needs from her mother (I think she has mommy issues tbh) and learns to be an adult not for anybody’s sake but her OWN

She doesn’t necessarily go to college, but she does what she wants

And I genuinely believe she would NOT want a kid before the age of like… 27, if at all

She would live her life at a comfortable place, have lots of sex lmao, and actually make some friends too

Not a lot for friends, just a couple good ones, Jacob included

I’ve always written her/liked seeing her written as humorous but in a super dark way — self-deprecating, sarcastic, DRY, etc. 

She definitely cusses a lot bc she finds there’s a LOT to cuss about

She absolutely smokes weed bc do y’all see how stressed she is??? She deserves it!

Let Bella Smoke A Blunt 2020

Leah Thee Clearwater

Canon:

Bitter :(

Mean “for no reason” :((((

Needs to get over it :/

Hilarious

Fanon:

The fanon depictions of Leah are my favorite so far but they do vary A LOT

I don’t really care for Leah x Angela bc while they are two tall queens, EYE frankly think Leah is too good for anybody we’ve met in the saga and needs a fresh start anyway

And staying in boring ass Clallam County for a gf does not sound like the move

I’m personally a fan of the fanon where Leah moves away after all the bullshit with the Cullens, maybe goes to school, gets a good paying job that’s actually meaningful work too, and never has to phase again

I think about Leah’s life before phasing A LOT. In my mind, she was a semi-popular athlete with hella friends and admirers but still strong and opinionated. She protects girls and women and makes sure to hold people accountable when they fuck up

Overall, my headcanon of Leah is just Canon Leah but if the world was less cruel to her. 

She’s perfect the way she is and I love her <3

Charlie

Canon:

Disgruntled cop

Drinks beer

Hates Edward

Loves Alice

Fanon:

The general fanon for Charlie is more or less the same as Canon Charlie which is like… fine

But he’s still a cop

So in my personal headcanon, he leaves the police force to do work that actually helps Forks like something within community engagement

Maybe he does volunteer work on the Quileute reservation too

Idk I just want him to be useful and not a cop

Rosalie

Canon:

Cold

Mean

Blonde

Doesn’t like Bella

Fanon:

Ok so even though she’s immortal I really imagine she’d like to be around babies and pregnant women as much as possible

I think she would do amazing as an OBGYN despite her hands being all cold lmao

IMAGINE ROSALIE DELIVERING BABIES!!!! (ASSUMING HER HANDS AREN’T TOO COLD!!!!!!)

If she couldn’t be around pregnant women and babies as much as possible I imagine her having her own mechanic shop (possibly shared with Jacob, if they could tolerate each other)

Imagine her working on cars…… I’m w*t

I could also really imagine her fucking it up in an nonprofit organization as an advocate for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault

Overall I really appreciate the fanon that she’s soft at times and does more than just fuck lmao

Quil Ateara Thee Fifth

Canon:

Likes girls

Likes cars

Likes to hang with his friends

Fanon:

All of what’s given in canon

But he’s actually HILARIOUS

And maybe a SoundCloud rapper

The fandom doesn’t talk about Quil enough and I want that to change

Embry

Canon:

Has some sense

Pretty chill overall

Fanon:

Same as canon but WE FINALLY LEARN WHO HIS DAD IS

I feel like it’s Sam’s dad but I want confirmation

WHAT IS THE TRUTH

off the top of my head i’m tagging @rosaliehalee @bellas-dumptruck-ass @fucksmeyer @clearwaterss @embrythecall @that-crooked-smile @witchyangela and absolutely anybody who wants to do this!!!

[rainbowsntears]

confidence boost ( insecure!bill x reader )

request ↳ hi hi i love ur hcs could you do one for bill when he’s super shy in the beginning of your relationship but is so confident as it goes on? i feel like he’d love you for helping him open up and you embrace his flaws and tell him he’s beautiful !!

warnings ↳ aBSOLUTE FLUFF I AM NOT KIDDING ALSO SORRY I SWEAR SOMETIMES BUT IT’S ONLY BECAUSE Y’ALL ARE SO CUTE

note ↳ you have no idea how much fun i had doing this headcanon! literally this is so cute and omgg wfejfnjwefnejf. anyway, requests are open for both imagines and headcanons so give me some ideas. enjoy, love you! xx

okay ladies

or gentlemen

sorry, let’s talk right at the start of your relationship with bill

to be honest, bill is so fucking adorable when he was shy

and you knew that the boy just needed a lil more time with you until he became more confident.

he was a bit hesitant at the beginning, and he worried about many things

“w-what if they don’t really l-like me?”

“may-maybe it’s the stuttering”

“i should j-just stop st-stuttering”

“crap i just st-stuttered”

“...shit”

he was so worried and scared that his stuttering was going to get out of hand and it’d put you off ‘cause it sure as hell pissed him off sometimes.

poor billy, he was so shy and he didn’t know exactly what relationships were supposed to look like and do

but don’t worry because y/n is to the rescue!

you countlessly assured that he was cute and amazing, that you wouldn’t want any other guy because he was the best

and i’m not kidding - even if i love richie to the moon and back - bill is the softest and nicest boy and wow we honestly love that

rIGHT this is about you and bill i’M SORRY I GET DISTRACTED

there are days in which bill feels like shit, he doesn’t know how to handle himself.

but you always, and i mean ALWAYS HAVE HIS BACK NAW

“i-i’m so s-sorry, y/n. you do-don’t deserve s-s-someone like m-me”

“BILL I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD-”

just kidding you don’t say that!

but you cuddle into him, wiping some of his hair away from his face as you make him look at you

and when those cute eyes meet yours, you would just smile so wide and kiss his cheek.

“you’re so beautiful, bill. and i’m extremely thankful to have you in my life and i really, really want you to know that”

SHIT I’M FUCKING SCREAMING OMG THIS IS SO CUTE

FRIG FRIG FRIG

I’M SORRY BUT CAN YOU IMAGINE IT????

bill blushing but he’s so happy and those words are literal music to his ears, your smile is so contagious that he has to smile as well.

and throughout your relationship, you would recognise that he’s growing and becoming more open to you. yeah, he’ll have those sad days here and there but it grows less and less

you make sure to remind him how proud you are of him because bitch same

proud mama awwww

bill loves you btw

and because he loves you with all of his cute ass heart, he finally decided to take you to the quarry

bill is so insecure about his body so this was a big step for him. but he had to do it.

he was nearly there with being confident and this was like the biggest of them all.

so you guys were at the quarry, and you started to strip away your clothes. bill couldn’t stop himself from staring because you’re

so

fucking

pretty

he’s speechless, he’s never seen you in swimmers so it’s a shock but he just has to admire.

and then those thoughts come back into his head and his smile washes off his face, rubbing his face as he sighs heavily.

you immediately notice, and you look up at him with slight worry. “bill?”

“i’m s-sorry, ‘was j-just thinking.” shy bill is showing a lot and you feel so empathetic. so you just hold his hands to comfort him.

“we don’t have to do this, bill. there’s other time we can-”

“n-no, i can suck it up. i-i’m okay.”

so bill takes off his clothes until he’s left in his boardshorts. immediately he regrets taking them off and quickly takes hold of his shirt again.

but you’re there to stop him because he’s

so

fucking

pretty

“bill, don’t”

and he stops from the sound of your voice, looking at you alarmingly.

“i l-look bad, do-don’t i?”

“not at all”

nAW

you guys are so close to completing bill’s wishes of becoming confident. if he passes this then you’re so ready to go on with your relationship.

“you’re beautiful. don’t ever, ever, think you aren’t. you’re eyes, and hair, and smile, literally everything about you is beautiful.”

he wasn’t expecting it, but you just had to kiss him.

you kISSED HIM

bill was so shocked but he melted away into kiss easily, holding your waist to pull you closer as he kissed you back omg omg omg

oh my fucking gOD

y’all are cute as

when you pull away, both of you are so surprised and shocked and in love

“t-thank you, y/n. you lo-look beautiful as we-well”

and you smiled so widely

“i love you”

there yOU GO

BILL SAID IT

THE L WORD

NO STUTTER

CONFIDENCE 100%, SHYNESS WHO IS SHE?

“i love you too, billy. now, why don’t we go swim?”

bill couldn’t agree more

both of you were just so proud and happy that this relationship worked perfectly. bill is so thankful for you that you embraced his flaws and you allowed him to take his time to become comfortable and okay. and you were just so happy that bill was getting better at this

y’ALL ARE SO ADORABLE SORRY I HAD TO SAY IT AGAIN

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

@bpdanakins

Thank you so much! This is pretty long, so I put a “keep reading”. If this breaks the app since it’s so dysfunctional smh, please let me know! Also, please excuse the different types of formatting throughout the answers, MDR.

Want to ask questions, too? Check out the list.

DORIS (PJO)

1. Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?

Doris is a demigod, so she is bound to have some siblings! Her father is Hades so while he does not have too much offspring, they’re still there. She is very close to Nico and Hazel, who are both slightly younger than her. Her Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades) cousins are all close to her in age, too. She respects Percy the most, for he never really took a hostile attitude towards her like many people do with the children of Hades.

2. What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?

I’m still somewhat developing her backstory/family life, but like all heroes and children of Hades: dead mother. Unlike her other siblings (and most people), Doris can still communicate with her mother. I like to think that even with her mother technically being dead/a ghost, Doris has a good relationship with her. Her mother is also motherly towards Nico and Hazel, too, which is lovely.

3. What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?

Somewhat paternal and somewhat professional Doris does find herself hanging out at her dad’s place a lot, but she also runs a lot of errands for him. (Nico does it, too.) While they may not have a close, warm relationship, it is not hard to find that Hades does care for his children, and that they would defend him against the others. BTW, there is also a lot of banter between Hades and Doris, and I dig it.

6. Does your character have recurring themes in their dreams?

Not really but like many demigods, her dreams often hold significance. Dreams tend to help guide what is needed to be done next, or there may be a message she needs to hear.

42. Has your character ever had a parental figure who was not related to them? 

I haven’t really thought about this. Technically, everyone in the Greek world is related but I like to think that Doris has a positive relationship with Persephone, her stepmother. Perhaps she also gets along with Mr. D, lol.

ELLIE (RE)

7. Does your character have recurring themes in their nightmares?

Events of Raccoon definitely affected her, especially for the first couple of years. This has faded away (as nightmares of different outbreaks took over, lol) but it still lingers. It will never really go away.

8. Has your character ever fired a gun? If so, what was their first target?

Yes. Her boyfriend, who was training to be a cop at the time, kind of showed her the ropes which was good in hindsight.

11. In what situation was your character the most afraid they’ve ever been?

Raccoon City comes to mind, but specifically when she thought she was going to lose Leon. The initial outbreak, however, was quite terrifying because she was all alone and had to navigate her way to RPD all by herself.

ELIZABETH (TR)

1. She’s an only child. She has cousins on her maternal side, but she never sees them.

2. & 3.

I’m combining these two. Liz has a very strained relationship with her parents. They can both be described as deadbeat. Liz’s mother also never aspired to be a mother and after her relationship with Liz’s father dissolved, she went off the radar. No one really knows where she is. Liz’s father (Lara’s brother) is also not in the picture. The reasons are not fully known, but he and Lara have bad blood with each other. (Specifically, the issue of their parents but there is more to it.) Let’s just say that Liz’s hates both of her parents. They abandoned her. They never come to visit. Why should she care about them?

18. Is your character more likely to admire wisdom, or ambition in others?

I definitely believe that she admires ambition over wisdom. However, she sees value in both…she just discards advice from those who are not her family. (She even discards Winston’s wisdom at times!)

34. Is your character more likely to keep trying a solution/method that didn’t work the first time, or immediately move on to a different solution/method?    

Depending on context, she may retry a solution/method once or twice, thinking she made a mistake but after that, she’ll figure out a new solution/method.

ISABELLA (GTA: VC)

5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?    Before she fully rehabilitated, traces of cocaine. There may be a few coins and a knife. She can’t afford to not have protection on her. Maybe some condoms, because the people she used to live with made her go on condom run so they wouldn’t get…busted. It became a habit to have them.

7. Her nightmares consist of her family meeting their ultimate demise and her (former) addiction ruining her.

8. I like to think that her first target was at her dad’s boss (who had him sent to jail) but more realistically, the first time she fired a gun was a warning shot for a rival family to step back, or someone trying to assault one of her family members (specifically, the people who raised her).

15. Is your character preoccupied with money or material possession? Why or why not?

She was raised to think money first. Materials are good (especially for business/merchandise), but money is the ultimate power. That’s what people care about the most.

25. How quick is your character to suspect someone else? Does this change if they are close with that person?   

Pretty quickly. Mafia is supposed to be about family, but Isabella definitely trusts no one. Especially not the Forelli Family after her father was sent to prison. Like her father, she takes loyalty seriously and therefore, do not cross her.

JEAN (ST)

11. This is a hard one. I think one of the scarier moments of her life is when her father was no longer in the picture. Her mother did her best to raise Jean and her brother by herself but at the beginning, it was hard. Jean’s mother fell into a depressive episode. She was active with her children, but Jean could tell that her mother wasn’t entirely there, and it scared her.

12. In what situation was your character the most calm they’ve ever been?

Hard to say. Jean is generally a calm, laid back type of girl. However, when she is too calm, that shows how angry or afraid she really is.

21. If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?

It depends on that situation. For example, if something happened to her family or friends, she blames herself. She could have protected/save them. Why couldn’t she? However, if we are dealing with the supernatural side of her life, she blames the people responsible for that and claims that she will kick their ass.

26. How does your character behave around children?   

Pretty well. Dustin is her younger brother and while they are super close, they would also probably try to choke each other or have really heated banter. That’s just how siblings be! She also finds herself around the Party a lot, often having to drive them to places since none of them have their license lol. El and Max often go to her, asking for advice and having “girl time”, since they like and trust her. She doesn’t mind, though. El and Max are cool and when Billy was harming his sister? Watch out: Jean’s about to throw hands.

28. How quick or slow is your character to resort to physical violence in a confrontation?   

You would have to get Jean really, really pissed off if she resorts to physical violence.

KITTY (ST:AOS)

1.

Kitty has a sister who is about seven years older, but they have a good relationship. Her sister also has children who close to Kitty’s age (Kitty was around ten when her niece was born). She’s close to her sister and family, even while she’s enlisted in Starfleet. If you count in the Enterprise family, Kitty is also one of the younger ones. She’s around Chekov’s age, so they have a close and developing relationship :)

9. Is your character’s current socioeconomic status different than it was when they were growing up?   

I don’t doubt it. The best way I can describe Kitty’s family is lower middle class. However, since joining Starfleet, she’s been making money which has lifted the family socioeconomic class up a bit. (She sends money back to help support her family, whether they like it or not.)

16. Which does your character idealize most: happiness or success?    Happiness. She can find success very easy, but being happy is harder. Much harder.

29. What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true?

Okay tbh, I’m kinda still deciding on what the dream is specifically but I can confirm that Kitty’s dream did come true :)

31. Describe a scenario in which your character feels most comfortable. 

On the Enterprise, she likes to wear comfortable clothing (yoga pants and large t-shirt), hair pulled up in a ponytail, and she’s streaming media (tv, movies, youtube; stuff like that) while reclining on her bed and eating junk food.

On Earth, she feels comfortable with being reunited with her family. She loves her home base, and family is important to her.

MADISON (TR)

4. Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?

Uh…yeah. She survived Yamatai, and she also goes to Siberia and Peru later on (yes she’s in all the reboot trilogy games don’t @ me). She has seen a lot. Others do know about this. Her fellow Yamatai survivors know and her family has a concept of what happened to her, but not really. The only ones who do understand is Lara and Jonah.

5. Pockets. What pockets? Madison does carry a purse, and a lot can be found in that. Her wallet, pads, pens, snacks, a hairbrush when needed, earbuds, keys. When she’s on expeditions, the purse is replaced with a backpack and has more stuff in it, like first aid and research supplies.

7. Nightmares are definitely PTSD-related. Events from Yamatai, Siberia, and even Taititi have all affected her the most. Yamatai definitely struck her; it was horror on that island. She may also have nightmares of her loved ones either haunting or being killed (because of her).

8. Her first target was at one of the Solarii Brotherhood members on Yamatai

11. Yamatai is probably the most traumatic experience she’s ever endured (haha). There’s also this one time where a Trinity member attacked her at her university, when she was on her own home turf, and that was pretty terrifying itself.

34. She’ll quickly move on to find a new solution/method but if she’s tried everything, she’ll rebound to the original or may combine certain aspects of everything she’s tried.

38. Is your character more likely to remove a problem/threat, or remove themselves from a problem/threat?  

She will try her damn hardest to remove a problem/threat. She’s not the main player for it, she’s more side-kicky. She knows when she needs to take a step back, removing herself from the situation.

MADS (RE)

42. Has your character ever had a parental figure who was not related to them?

It depends how she views it. She had a really good mentor for her job post-Raccoon City. English teachers from high school could count, haha.

43. Has your character ever had a dependent figure who was not related to them?

Yes. She’s kind of a kid magnet. She’s also one of the more feistier and protective type of person, so this could apply to her friends too.

44. How easy or difficult is it for your character to say “I love you?” Can they say it without meaning it?

Difficult. She can say “I love you” to her brother easily but with other family members it’s hard. I don’t think she wouldn’t say it without meaning it because she realizes that it is correlated with strong responses, both with her and with other people.

45. What does your character believe will happen to them after they die? Does this belief scare them?

She doesn’t like to think about death. She’s dealt with numerous “zombie” outbreaks over the years since Raccoon City, and has a big fear that she’ll turn into one of them. She’s also not a big believer of heaven or hell, but she does wonder what happens after life on Earth.

MADÉ (SW)

1. Madé is the oldest out of four daughters. She’s not really close to any of them, but it doesn’t mean that she loves her sisters any less! She lived in Naboo’s capital and later moved to Coruscant, so her visits were somewhat sparse. Then she moved to a desert planet, when contact was even more rare. I will say that the sister she is closest to is the sister who had Paige and Rose Tico. (Still trying to decide if Madé is their aunt or great-aunt, haha!)

4. I would say so. The Fall of the Republic, Order 66, and the death of Padmé were some of the biggest events that affected Madé. After all, watching something you fought so hard for crumble (she never liked Palpatine, let’s be clear on that right now), as well as a group of people slaughtered (she can’t help but think of the padawans and younglings the most), and watching someone she cared so much and dedicated her life to dying right in front of her? And then having to figure out how to keep her children safe? That would be hard on anyone.

I would say Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Bail Organa and the Skywalker OC I have yet to develop/name, lol are some of the more prominent people who know about these traumas.

8. She was Padmé’s handmaiden and bodyguard, so yes she has fired a gun. (Blaster would be the more appropriate term.) The first target? Someone who was trying to harm the Queen of Naboo or one of the other handmaidens.

9. Hm….no. Madé didn’t come from a rich family and while she had a better economic/social status when she became a handmaiden, it depleted after the fall of the Old Republic. Actually, her status now might be lower than she originally started out with.

18. She has seen a lot of ambition in her lifetime, so wisdom is always a welcoming change. (However, fuck the Jedi Council. lmao.)

20. In what ways does your character compare themselves to others? Do they do this for the sake of self-validation, or self-criticism?

This is hard! I would have to say her age somewhat concerned her as she was at Padmé’s side. She is one of the oldest handmaidens, and on Naboo they valued youthfulness in their monarchy. It kind of worried her how the Naboo governors viewed her (Palpatine didn’t particularly like her, because she saw his true character). A lot of people also judged her for staying with Padméfor all those years. Shouldn’t she move on? Have her own life? (Ouch.) So, I guess she would have compared herself to the other handmaidens but she really didn’t let the criticisms affect her. She knows what she wants in life.

SKYLAR (OUTSIDERS)

22. What does your character like in other people?

She likes those who have integrity and stand up for themselves and for their loved ones. She likes reliability and stability, too. While she needs someone serious, she also likes to kick back and have fun, too!

23. What does your character dislike in other people?

Those who harm others just for the hell of it; bullies. People with big mouths AKA those who don’t know when to mind their own business. She doesn’t like those who think that they are better than others, especially those who are of upper class. Fuck them.

24. How quick is your character to trust someone else?

Hm. She’s not one to trust quickly but she doesn’t take awhile in trusting someone. I would say, especially after the death of her parents, she can be wary of others. Not only for herself, but for her family too. She wants to keep them safe as much as she can. Honestly, in order to gain her trust, you have to prove yourself to her and to her friends/family.

25.Suspect can be quick if something has been brought to her attention. She will give the benefit of the doubt but she can also read people pretty well. She doesn’t like to be paranoid but she has to keep her guard off for her family.

SOPHIA (IT)

29. What did your character dream of being or doing as a child? Did that dream come true?

Sophia doesn’t remember what her childhood dreams were, so she can’t really say if her dream came true. However I can say that while she grew up, she really didn’t know what to do. She did always want to save people so technically, in that way, her aspiration came true.

35. How does your character behave around people they like?

In general, she gets super nervous. Butterflies in her stomach, blushing, the whole nine yards. She would also try to be as interactive as she can with her crush.

36. How does your character behave around people they dislike?

She makes it very clear. She’ll scowl at them and when they insult her friends, she throws clap-backs that are either very eloquent or very brash.

39. Has your character ever been bitten by an animal? How were they affected (or unaffected)?

She’s been nipped by dogs, but it never affected her. However, she remembers Pennywise’s rows of sharp teeth, and that stirs uneasiness within, even if when she couldn’t remember why. (She always associated with not liking sharks thanks to Jaws.)

Also, I just imagined as a kid, she got bitten by a raccoon or something while she and the rest of the Losers were in the woods LMFAO

42. Yes. Her stepfather. We can even argue that Stan and Patty (who she and her brother refer to as their uncle and aunt) have been parental figures to her, too.

43. No one I can think about. Maybe like, the Marshcom (is that the ship name? idk lol) baby or a small pet, but that’s about it.

Battle #4

Spider: S/T ( Side 2 )

Vs.

Billy Joel: The Stranger ( Side 2 )

Spider: S/T ( Side 2 )

Spider was an American rock band from New York, that formed in 1977 and disbanded in 1984. They released two studio albums through Dreamland Records in the early 1980s, and scored a few moderate hit singles in the United States. Two songs from their 1981 album Between the Lines - "Change" and "Better Be Good to Me" - were hits for John Waite and Tina Turner, respectively. Eventually in 1982 they changed the name of the band to Shanghai and released their third and final album. This is their rookie debut and there are some hidden gems on here. The band is a five piece. Only of note because generally for the genre and time that’s fairly large. Most power pop bands are 3 or maybe 4 pieces. And two female vocalists both with decent range. I discovered this one in the bargain bin, 99 cents well spent. It’s on Dreamland Records which has a pretty decent rep for quality new wave and power pop. The first track is “Little Darlin’” which is a builder. It has a Jefferson airplane/starship vibe if they were new wave cool. “Brotherly Love” follows and is a little more wanky but with a power riff. Back and forth with a slow punky tempo.

“What’s Going On?” is next and has some decent effects (wah wah, etc) on this mid tempo power ballad. Decent melodies and layers. “Don’t Waste Your Time” is the truest power ballad of them all. And with vocal showcase too! Pretty melody and power chords throughout. It’s my opinion though that

“Zero” is the real gem here. Punky and catchy and a quick one. Spider is a good underrated band that deserves your attention.

Billy Joel: The Stranger ( Side 2 )

William Martin Joel is an American singer-songwriter, composer, and pianist. Commonly nicknamed the "Piano Man" after his first major hit and signature song of the same name, he has led a commercially successful career as a solo artist since the 1970s. Joel released his critical and commercial breakthrough album, The Stranger, in 1977. This album became Columbia's best-selling release, selling over 10 million copies and spawning several hit singles. So to say it’s his best album might be an understatement, but yeah...it’s up there. It has all the hits you know, “Movin’ Out”, “Just the way you Are”...but those Re on the flip. The B Side is no stranger (#seewhatididthere) to hits either though.

“Vienna” starts off with quiet and lush piano ballad typeset. Billy has a great voice with tremolo and tenure. Let’s not discount the lyrics either....dude’s in a league with Elton John. Here’s one you might know, “Only The Good Die Young”. A catchy number and a big hit at the (some may argue) apex of his career. A song of sinners verses saints, and it sounds like Billy wants to live a little. Another minor hit on the hit parade, “She’s Always A Woman To Me”. There aren’t too many tunes that hum and are successful but this is certainly one of them. A soulful and sincere tune with a vivid picture to paint. You can visualize it effortlessly. “Get It Right The First Time” has some kind of samba or salsa beat. FLUTE LOOPS!!! I guess Billy Joel has the diversity you need to keep it appealing in this industry. I can see where an artist like Ben Folds gets it between Elton and Billy. “Everybody Has A Dream” is the last tune and it’s almost a gospel. Slllooooowwwwwwwwwwww...... It’s a happy at home with you tune. There’s a weird outtro too. Did they have extra studio time? Is Billy just THAT efficient!!?? Improv!? I need to know these things. Jilly Bowl if you’re into pig Latin btw.

So Spider climbed the wall of success and blitzed through 5 songs in 19 minutes and burned 120 calories. That’s 24.0 calories burned per song and 6.32 calories burned per minute. Spider earned a respectable 10 out of 15 possible stars. Billy Joel is no stranger to success and he managed to burn 131 calories over 22 minutes and 5 tunes. That’s the equivalent of 26.2 calories burned per song and 5.95 calories burned per minute. Billy Joel earned 9 out of 15 possible stars. Looks like Spider weaves the web of victory in today’s win!

Spider: “Zero”

10 song shuffle

I was tagged by @lucks-eterna (thank u so much btw ♥️) to put my library on shuffle and list the first ten songs so here we go.

1. Mystify by INXS. This is one of my favorite songs ever, it reminds me of my childhood when my dad was getting ready to take me somewhere to have fun or eat junk food.

2. I Almost Do by @taylorswift This song always reminds me of one of my greatest love story. One that always will have a special place in my heart even if we didn't officially date.

3. Decode by Paramore. Reminds me of my Nokia 5200, I always played that song out loud in that phone.

4. Eyes Without a Face by Billy Idol. One of my mom's favorite songs and one of mine too.

5. In my veins by Andrew Belle. C A S K E T T 😭♥️

6. Hummingbird Heartbeat by Katy Perry. My fav song of Katy Perry, it's like the perfect combo between Sexy, Kinky and Romantic. I loved it from the first moment I heard it. UNDERATED SONG.

7. All that by Carly Rae Jepsen. I swear to God, Carly doesn't deserve the flop she's into. I personally think she should be the new Princess of Pop bc all of her songs are AMAZING.

9. Ribbon in the sky by Stevie Wonder. LOVELY ♥️♥️♥️♥️

As you can see, I listen different types of music and every song has a special place in my heart because every single one of them reminds me of something/someone. That is why I love music so much and why it's so important to me. I'll be happy to share more songs with you guys, just ask me. I have a song for every moment.

BILL

12:02 pm 

    "Are you ready Billy boy?" Richie gives me a pat on the shoulder, giving him a thumbs up, he grins. We were standing at the corner of our cafeteria, with me debating whether I should actually do this stupid idea.

Should I really?

I sighed and whispered, "T-This is to make [Name] s-s-stop annoying me. Do t-this for you and your f-friends' sake, Bill."

"Are you talking to yourself, Bill?" Eddie asked while I nodded slowly.

"I'm fucking nervous, okay?" 

"3 more minutes until the other students pile up in the cafeteria," Stan glanced down his watch, while Eddie looks around. There we saw [Name], Beverly Marsh and Ben Hanscom seated at their usual table. The trio laughing away at what [Name] (I assumed) said.

12:04 pm

    The four of us spot Gretta with her friends, all of them laughing. "There you go Billy boy! Gretta Keene in the flesh!" Richie yelled out, pushing me harshly in front. 

Everyone's eyes were now boring over my lanky figure. Gretta and her friends stopped dead in the tracks, while she shoots me a smile.

"Fucking shit R-Richie," I spat out, glaring furiously at him. "Y-You were too f-fucking loud, now everyone's looking at me."

Stan stands there, an expression I can't really explain. Eddie gives me a thumbs up, with Richie howling. "Yes, Billy! Bill my man!"

I take a step forward, awkwardly smiling at Gretta. "Hey Gr-Gretta, I want to a-a-ask if you would like to go to the movies w-w-with me later?"

The people around us started to gossip away, and I glanced over my shoulder to look at [Name]'s expression, only to see her with a sour face.

"Yeah sure Bill," Gretta gives me an ear to ear smile, nodding. 

Smiling at her, everyone's attention then dispersed, chattering away to their own set of cliques.

Gretta walks away with her friends, one of them looking at Stan and mouthing out, 'Date me!'

Richie slings an arm around my shoulder, with Stan replying to her with a, "Thanks, but no thanks." Eddie grins at both scenes unfolding in front of him.

"That was a success!" Richie keeps his arm around my shoulder, the four of us walking towards our usual table. 

"Should've seen that look on [Name]'s face," Eddie shakes his head, while I grinned.

"Thank me, Bill! Thank me!" Richie exclaims while we all take a seat. I shook my head, laughing.

"Well, this might finally end our misery! [Name] will finally stop annoying us!" Eddie raises his hand for a high five, which I happily obliged.

“When I raise for a high five, no one high fives me!" Richie whined while Stan rolls his eyes at him. "It's because you like fucking raise your hand after 5 to 10 minutes, dumbass." 

"When I raise for a high five, no one high fives me!" Richie whined while Stan rolls his eyes at him. "It's because you like fucking raise your hand after 5 to 10 minutes, dumbass." 

Richie's pushes his glasses up, to prevent it from falling. "You're right! High five!" Richie raises his hand once again, while the rest of us blankly stared at him.

"Oh, yeah. . . oops," Richie puts his hand down, and putting it on his neck instead, scratching it a little.

"U-Um yea, n-now going back to the whole 'm-making [Name] s-stop annoying u-us'," I started, while I look around to look at [Name]'s reaction. 

"Oh, shit Bill, she was so fucking disappointed!" Richie laughs loudly. 

Relieved.

That was all I felt; relieved. Relieved that she won't bug me much anymore. Relieved that after how many years of her chasing after me and me always running the other way, she'll finally distance herself from me. 

There I saw [Name] [Lastname] no longer cracking up jokes and smiling, but instead I saw her with a glum expression on her face. . . something I never really witnessed seeing before, until now. She always held a smile on her face, whenever I was around. Or maybe I was just focused on the annoying things about her, that I don't get to see her true self.

"Don't you think we went too far, guys?" Stan asks while I continued to look at her, not noticing the glares that Beverly was shooting.

"What do you mean, by too far Stan? That idea was fucking great!" Stan hisses at Richie, while Richie raises his arms in defense.

"I don't know, okay." Stan shrugs his shoulders, an unknown expression plastered on his face. "Do you think she actually deserves this?"

Bam!

From the feeling of relief to guilt. Why did I feel so guilty? Was it because all he said was true? 

[NAME]

     "And then I told my mom, 'noooo not my cereal!' With so much sarcasm, and she was like 'you can do better than that!'" I joked in front of Beverly and Ben, waving my hands around randomly. Beverly chuckles, while Ben laughs. "And then—" I started again, but was cut off with Beverly pointing to my back. "What?" Turning around to see what her fuss was all about, my mouth formed an 'o'. There I saw my Bill being pushed in front by Richie Tozier and yelling out, "There you go Billy boy! Gretta Keene in the flesh!" No, no, no, I chanted over and over in my head. This can't be real! I see him walk towards Gretta, an awkward smile on his face. "Hey Gr-Gretta, I want to a-a-ask if you would like to go to the movies w-w-with me later?"

No! SAY NO!

"Yeah sure Bill," Gretta gives him an ear to ear smile, nodding.

My smile left my face, a crestfallen look dawning over. Feeling my heart crumple into little pieces, I stayed put in my seat.

“He’s such a dick [Nickname],” Ben gave me a sad smile, while I felt a small salty tear escape from my eye.

I always knew he never liked me; always managed to hatch a plan to ignore me, but this was too much. Was he really that oblivious, to ask out the girl who keeps making fun of Ben, Beverly and I?

“Is he gone?” I asked Ben, while Beverly was busy sending glares to them. Ben nods, “They’re at their usual table now.”

“I just wanted to be friends with him, but he’s always been a dick to me, but why?”

Ben puts his book down, takes my juice box and takes a sip. “Maybe he secretly likes you, and by ignoring you, it makes him think that his feelings will fade. But it doesn’t actually, ignoring you makes him feel even crazier.”

Beverly turned to look at us, pleased with Ben said. “That might be true, [Nickname].”

I shook my head, still unhappy. “He will never like me, it’s been how many years since I tried getting his attention, but he never gave me a glance. . . And you know what?”

Ben and Beverly stared at me, while I sighed.

“Maybe, I should just stop trying, you know? It always leads me nowhere.”

[anxiety-trademark]

The week in review:

Raw 10/05 NXT 10/07 NXT UK 10/08 Smackdown 10/09 + Main Event 10/08

Raw:

“This Asuka reign has been spectacular thus far,” d e b a t a b l e

Is Asuka continuing her feud with Zelina? If so, why? If not, why is this 6 woman match happening? Just spinning your wheels some more?

It’s been an interesting experience watching Dana grow throughout the years. Also nice flip by Nattie off of Dana’s headscissors takedown.

Love to see Dana and Mandy matching colors. Tag teams matching gear is my jam. Next is a theme song/name.

Lovely delayed double suplex by Dandy.

Small mistake in Mandy nearly falling over, but I mostly want to compliment the slide her boots did against the mat lmao. That was probably unintended, but looked super smooth.

I actually like Mandy now that she’s not imitating a stripper, but I’d really appreciate it if she could learn new trash talk that isn’t just, “who do you think you are,” repeated ad nauseam.

I don’t watch Main Event, but they should consider having Mandy and Dana wrestle more on there if they don’t already. Those are 2 that can use the consistent practice.

There’s so many minor things Natalya does to keep matches together with greener women. She deserves more respect.

Man these women work incredibly well together. Asuka, Nattie, Dana, Lana, Mandy... so cohesive. Loved that entire ending sequence from the moment Lana and Asuka tagged in. Lana has really increased her speed as well.

I am here to dole out positive praise for the blondes that nobody gives any credit to. Remembering where Dana was in 2016, Lana was in 2017, or even Mandy was in 2018, and seeing them all now? They get my applause. The midcard on Raw is entertaining, sue me. Fun match.

pppfffftttttt love how Zelina just slowly slinks outta the ring like, “yeahhhh have fun with that, this ain’t my fight peace.”

Alright ngl, I am now starting to get sad that Lana is getting rekt nearly every week. rip. First match of the night btw and the commentators are losing their desk lmao.

Does KO have to spell out everything happening in wrestling? Sir I actually pay attention to the stories y’all be telling me. Can I get a condensed version?

“He’s everywhere,” Alexa is creepy and compelling, I’m gonna keep singing her praises til she gives me a reason not to.

I personally just hope Fiend uses new gloves for every new victim, what with covid and all.

“Bury a body together in the woods,” SIR.

I like that Alexa is kept separate from Bray and is solely attached to Fiend. I know that’s going to change, but for now, I like that line being drawn in the sand.

Omg he shed tears. Whew.

Why y’all allergic to showcasing Bianca against people who I fucking recognize lmao.

Again, I know she’s a college graduate. I know she’s smart on some fucking level. Telling me why the sky is blue (cept not really as it just appears that way) AIN’T IT THOUGH.

Put her in a match, that’s where she needs the most work. Jesus.

Oh good we get to hear Nia’s music on the way to the ring. She has the superior theme.

Nia body checking Ruby in the corner. I felt that.

I like Shayna’s joint manipulation, I only wish she’d wear down her opponents before she started in on it, cuz it drastically slows down the pacing of the match. There’s a spot for it if you get the momentum of the match going first, but she almost always just jumps straight into this. 

Ruby getting rekt. What Riott Squad need is a good showing. Not to be damn near demolished. I doubt anyone actually expected them to win this match, but come on.

At least Shayna sold the tornado ddt well.

Meh could’ve been a better showing for RS. Kind of disappointing. Liv didn’t even use any offense to break the Kirifuda Clutch, just yelled dramatically af. Tears galore.

Highlight: Seeing Lana/Mandy/Dana improve & work cohesively with veterans in Nattie & Asuka

---

NXT:

Isn’t nxt supposed to be the brand that hides a performer’s weakness? Why does Ember Moon have a mic in the middle of the ring? Have her do a quick interview in the back, or better yet wrestle. Hello??

Don’t thank them, they are your coworkers, and only one of them even said welcome back. sigh.

GIRL I’M SHOCKED THEY LET YOU TALK ON THE MIC TOO like for what reason???

This is why Ember Moon will never be a champion on the main roster jfc. At least she can get away with being nxt champ if she refrains from speaking.

Well damn I was actually interested in Rhea’s promo, thanks a lot Raquel smh.

Io’s like “...nah, I’m good right here.”

Io is a woman of few words, but they are always flawlessly spoken and drenched in logic. Still a huge fan of her as champion.

Storytime. Becky Lynch has named 2 people as potential break out stars that could reach (close to) the heights she has reached. Sonya Deville was one, whom I believe Becky was right on the money with, and Toni Storm was the other. Now I don’t see whatever the hell Becky sees in Toni, but damn it if she was right about Sonya, I want her to be right about Toni as well. So I hope this heel turn actually brings the fire, decent acting, and passable promos from her.

Toni has a swagger you can’t teach; she has an aura and confidence to her. There are just some pieces that have been missing. We’ll see though, I’ll give her a clean slate to win me over.

*The Garganos receive a gift* No.

I kind of like that there’s an unspoken agreement between Raquel and Dakota that Dakota is the star who should win the title, with no lingering feelings of animosity or resentment between them.

Anyway Dakota you lost to Io, plz lol.

*The Garganos see potential in Indi Hartwell* No.

I hate Shotzi’s entrance and dialogue so damn much lmao. She’s so annoying, I’m not sorry. I’ll give her props in the ring where I see fit, but her personality is such a turn off to me.

Such a short match that I have nothing to say about it. Good for Shotzi gaining some momentum. Still waiting to see where Xia Li goes with these losses amounting.

Cool one of the best themes has been changed :/ rip Ember’s og theme.

Sloppy, sloppy attempt at a standing crucifix by Ember. oof.

Ember is short but she can sure jump high, this is true.

Ember plz sell.

Jeeze I nearly forgot how good Ember’s suicide dive is. One of the best, truly.

Great bump onto the floor by Rhea.

Flat landing by Dakota. Bravo. Love how Dakota bumps Rhea’s bench press.

No excuse for Dakota not tagging in when Ember got the tag. Awkward.

Looked more like a modified flatliner rather than a uranage, but sure. 

Love watching Dakota and Rhea work together. They have great chemistry.

LOVE Dakota’s Kairopractor. One of my favorite moves in nxt.

Great save by Raquel, great ddt taken by Raquel.

Sloppy “powerbomb” from Ember to Dakota... that’s a yikes. Ember indeed has ring rust. Eclipse is still a thing of beauty though, so there’s that.

I just want to say, I really like Rhea as a babyface and I hope wwe doesn’t turn her heel when she moves to the MR.

Highlight: Dakota & Rhea working together is always a treat

---

NXT UK:

Tell me why the beginning of Dani’s theme reminded me of White Wedding by Billy Joel? The lack of lighting in her entrance does her song a disservice.

Really like Nina’s theme... irritating how they cut off Amale’s theme so quickly to introduce her, though.

HAHA Xia tried kipping up out of the leg scissors and she got popped on the midsection.

Lovely escape...? Alright well, fill the dead air with meaningless comments I guess. No, don’t pipe in applause for that.

Twisting her arms in reverse and then forward accomplished nothing.

I appreciate Dani’s underrated strength.

Decent reverse suplex by Nina.

Deadweight suplex by Dani. Nice.

Amale is... abysmally green.

Took a beautiful German suplex, though.

Do not like Xia’s finisher.

This match wasn’t a mistake, but man talk about lower card.

Much like I did with Toni Storm, all I see when I look at Piper now, is when she cried during the match with KLR lmao. Round of applause for KLR making all of her opponents cry kekekek.

“[KLR] better watch what she says, or else..” or else what? More of y’all gonna cry in her direction? oof your champ is HEAD AND SHOULDERS above everyone else on that roster, plz.

Sure she’s held the title for a year cuz of the pandemic, but if we remove all of that time UK spent isolated, she should still hold that title for a year minimum. Whenever someone wants to exhibit possessing the full package she has, they can step up. Even on the mic, KLR is untouchable.

Lol y’all can waltz out pissy all you want. I laugh.

“We've got witches that can't cast spells, Valkyries that can't fly, and these two can't even get along long enough to challenge me. And here she is, the worst of them all, the ultimate letdown... a piper that plays to my tune.” LMFAOOO. This is such a good promo, I can’t.

Knowing NXT, they’ll throw them in a battle royal to decide Kay Lee’s next opponent. Should run a tournament though.

KLR makes that title prestigious, goodbye.

Highlight: Fantastic KLR promo

---

Smackdown:

Alright real talk, why did Sasha get a title shot here? Why would Bayley give it to her without a struggle when she damn well knows Sasha could easily be the one to take it from her? When was it even accepted by Bayley?

Tbh I kind of hate this feud unless they’re in the same room/arena together. They work magic together, truly, but all of the inbetween stuff was garbage.

Love how Sasha just wants to beat the crap out of Bayley. Solid stuff.

Lol Bayley goes to leave lololol.

These are some clean counters and roll throughs. Always give props to Sasha for her counters.

See, cool, Sasha and Becky’s hiac match was set up with a chair, too... cept they had a great match for 15 mins and then brawled all over the arena. This could’ve all been set up SO much better. Then again tbf, it doesn’t even make sense for Bayley to accept this match with her to begin with, so I get the intentional dq as quickly as possibly on Bayley’s behalf. Would’ve been better if a gm had set this match up instead.

Great acting by Sasha.

How long til KO just pops Bliss across the face? No I’m kidding, wwe would never do that. Setting fire to someone, on the other hand...

Nothing about this promo felt genuine to me; the delivery was subpar.

When does Alexa receive an upgrade from ‘supportive mistress’ to ‘queen that helps fuck up Fiend’s victims’? I do appreciate them taking their time with her arc, it’s rare to see them do such a slow burn and not drop the ball with it.

Highlight: Sasha’s aggression in the ring

*BONUS*

Main Event:

The sheer hatred I have for Peyton’s theme. Awful.

Peyton vs Billie matches reminds me of the type of stuff I used to skip back in the late 2000s.

You watch best friends Sasha/Bayley, and you see some innovative, impactful moves. You watch best friends Becky/Charlotte, and you see 2 people beating the absolute shit out of each other with vitriol. You watch best friends Billie/Peyton, and you see 2 people who are afraid of hurting one another :/

Nice roll through pin by Billie.

Positive: there’s no crowd to boo them.

Just noticed the bottom row of monitors are behind the barricade, and I just want to know why tf they exist lmao.

Oh perfect, the second I began to regret turning this on, it ended. Okay anyway.

*NXT shined the brightest. Love how they utilized their women’s division, even if some of it was a hit or miss. Also love seeing Dakota and Rhea work together.

There's no maybe about it. You DID handle this wrong. You acted like judge, jury & executioner based on a few anon comments. The fact is I find you & your group of "friends" to not be nice either. You team up and act all holier than thou & I find it unapproachable. You're mean girls, just like you're saying about others. No one can comment badly on your fics otherwise you make posts & then your friends gang up on everyone. Quite frankly, you're all as bad as one another.

This is respectful critic and how I handled it:

I have some issues with Felicity's part. I don't think she's to blame for Billy's death at all. The guy is a cop and was doing his job. He chose to be out there. He would've been out there even if he wasn't dating Felicity. I think it's pretty unfair to place that blame on her too. That left a very bitter taste reading that part. You don't cut her a break very often, do you?

I liked everything else, though I also don't think William would call Oliver dad yet. Seems forced and not natural at this point in time. He barely knows him.

Felicity absolutely is not to blame for Billy's death in any way. She wasn't to blame for Havenrock or the breakup or much of anythig really...but that doesn;t mean SHE doesn't feel guilt. SHE doesn't feel regret. I don't write omnitiant pov. I write limited third person. These are Felicity's thoughts and she regrets. Thats cannon. She feels guilty for things she couldn;t control, because thats what heroes do.

I cut would happily cut Felicity a break. But the Felicity I write...no, she doesn't cut herself a break very often.

As for William calling Oliver 'dad' it is weird. i have a very specific reason he does this and it isn't all that healthy. In short, my William hero worships Oliver. He is the fantasy every young father-less child has and Willaim jumps at it, thee way Harry Potter never hesitated to call James 'dad (even though James was dead).

But Thank you for your comments. i do respect and am greatful for the feedback.

I'm very surprised you feel that way because it doesn't come across in this fic or some of your others. I just thought you blamed Felicity for most things tbh. But I still disagree. Felicity doesn't dwell on things, especially not to this extent. She's literally beating herself up for every little thing and that wouldn't happen particularly at a time when her brain would be focused on other things - mainly getting the team to safety. She'd be focused with that specific goal in mind. Idk, it feels very much like you're working out your frustrations or anger on show Felicity in your fic and it's pretty uncomfortable to read at times, imo.

As for William, I stand by what I said. Him calling him dad just wouldn't happen. They're strangers. And I do side eye the fact that you have Felicity tearing herself down in the same fic you have someone worshipping Oliver's feet. The unbalance is very apparent, imo.

I guess we have to disagree then. It seems like we disagree on how we interpret cannon.

This is bullying and my and my friends responces:

Please stop writing Olicity fics. You are not a Felicity fan. Blaming Felicity for everything and then having her called herself a slut suggests that you are clearly not. I find it absolutely revolting the way you write her. She deserves respect. You might as well start writing loliver fics since they're lacking trash writers on the other side. Or you can just write yourself into fics since you probably dreamt about sucking off oliver many times.

PS: Felicity Smoak is ten times the woman you'll ever be. And yes I know she's only a fictional character but maybe you should look up to her on how to respect yourself & other women whether they be fictional or real instead of degrading her to a slut.

There is no reason for the hatred and vitriol for someone who willing spends their free time, investing in their passion for writing and sharing it. If you disagree, STOP reading. I have this huge issue with people saying things for no other reason than to hurt someone else. The author is a Olicity fan. She is smart, funny, compassionate and gives so much attention to detail. I find her Felicity to be real. Her reactions and her inner musings honest insight. Your comment is demeaning and mean and truly deserves no response, but Emmilyne does deserve to be defended . She is an Arrow Fan. An Olicity Fan. An Oliver Fan & A Felicity Fan. It's her story, her concept, her take on characters and I know it all comes from her heart & soul

This is not an honest insight into Felicity so you can get the fuck outta here with honest insight and the real Felicity. The real Felicity would never degrade herself to a slut. Thank you though for explaining how her being a compassionate fan means it's okay for her to trash Felicity in her fic. Some real fan she is.

That was not what I said when I used the word "slut" which I deleted within an hour of posting btw. Have you read that or anything? Are you just following the directions of your crazy troll leader? Or are you a lone nasty troll trying to make me think there are more than one of you out there? Please, get some help.

my anime boston recap

i told a few people i’d write this, so here. warning, it’s long as fuck.

rebecca black - friday

while waiting for artists’ alley to open, i sat in a corner and watched people go by and saw a group cosplaying the main characters from the extremely underrecognized game the arcana, which was awesome and i totally would have asked for a picture but i’m way too shy. even though i’ve asked cosplayers for pictures before but i seem to have regressed in that sense...

i also saw (and this happened throughout the con) a bunch of hot, fit, really thin girls, which made me feel gay (as expected) but also really envious and sad and insecure about my body. cause i wish i looked more like them.

i also saw two girls cosplaying snow halation!honoka and kotori from love live, and the honoka had a giant honk nesoberi that i totally envy, and then right afterward a hate na heartbeat!eli and nozomi came around the corner and they were the coolest. i wish i’d had the guts to ask them for a picture too.

finally i went to artists’ alley and i got to buy a print from one of my favorite persona 5 fan artists but unfortunately she didn’t have the postcard set i wanted to buy. BUT right across was another fan artist whose stuff i really like so i bought a BUNCH of her prints - one of each of the p5 girls for me, and an extra makoto for my friend - and she came over to thank me and we chatted a little and it was nice. i am fucking determined to befriend some of these people and now at least one of them knows who i am.

i went to a panel on “fandom as coping” presented by a social worker which was really cool. she talked about how even though she’s a social worker, she still went through a severely suicidal period this past year and survived because of yuri on ice. i left partway through because then she turned it over to the audience to share our stories and i didn’t need to hear from a bunch of people talking about bad things that had happened to them.

the next thing i went to, after hanging around the vendors for a while, was tara platt’s (mitsuru and elizabeth from persona 3) q&a. she was really cool, and i actually managed to ask her a question, which was which one she preferred. (she said she can’t choose a favorite, but had more fun with elizabeth.)

i went to a presentation by sunrise, the studio that made love live among other things, but it was boring and i left early again because they were talking about gundam and other action stuff i don’t care about.

i’d planned on going to johnny yong bosch’s (makoto from free, kitamura from toradora, yu and adachi from p4) q&a, but it had a hella long line and it was obvious i wasn’t going to get in since the room wasn’t going to accommodate that many people. so i went over to a panel greg ayres (kaoru from ouran, nagisa from free, monokuma from the danganronpa anime) was doing on “it gets better.” come to find out he is openly bi! and is good friends with his ex who’s a trans woman and confronted her family about misgendering her! he is my new fav ngl and a far cry from hikaru’s va whom i met at tora-con a few years ago and was kind of an ego. it was a conversation sort of panel and we talked about a lot of stuff around queerness and bullying. i had to leave that one early too, but wished i could have stayed for the whole thing. also, there was a girl across the aisle from me who mentioned she was trans, and at one point i happened to catch her looking at me, and i think she was checking me out! sadly, i did not run into her again.

the reason i had to leave early was to get johnny’s autograph. he was really cool and i totes wish i could’ve gone to his q&a. since i don’t actually have any free! or toradora! or p4 merch, i had him sign my p3/p5 dancing game since it did at least come with p4 dancing as a free download. he took his daughter with him to the con which i find adorable though i have to wonder how bored she was sitting there for an hour and a half while he signed autographs.

katy perry - last friday night

at this point, i had a couple hours to kill, so i walked out to newbury comics in the hopes they’d have the bananarama vinyl reissues from the british record store day. they didn’t (though weirdly they did have the shakespears sister one), but they had kacey musgraves’ golden hour on sale, and i’ve been waffling on buying that for ages, so i finally snapped it up. then i went back to the mall where the con (sort of) was and got some godiva ice cream, which was even more overpriced than you’d expect but still very good.

so my last agenda item for the day was yuri lowenthal’s (makoto/minato from p3, yosuke from p4) q&a, which tara crashed because they’re married, which i love because it means that mitsuru is irl the canon waifu. once again i managed to ask a question, which was which p3 girl he’d like to have minato end up with, which made everyone laugh, and of course he said “i want to preserve my marriage, so either mitsuru or elizabeth.”

then i went home and felt like death.

i don’t know any songs that have “saturday morning” in the title

i took an uber to the con for saturday because the T was being replaced with a shuttle bus and i decided i’d rather pay $17 each way for a 15-minute trip than $2.50 each way for a 90-minute trip.

i went to a panel on “idols in anime” that was kind of interesting but i didn’t take much away from it, other than that i should maybe watch revue starlight. but then i went to a panel on “diversity in the magical girl genre” that was really cool. it was hosted by a queer latina woman and she talked about racial, gender, sexual, and ability diversity. it was interesting because she has a very negative view of yuuki yuuna, which i can certainly understand but don’t really share. but it was a great panel and i feel like i learned a lot. one neat idea she had was that what comes across as queerbaiting (or whatever-baiting) to western audiences can be really progressive representation in japan, and vice versa.

after that i went to another panel on “magical girl fashion” and literally got up and left because i couldn’t stand how wrong the presenter was.

i’d missed out both days on the free autograph passes for yuri and tara, so i went to their paid session, which to make a long story short was an absolute fucking disaster, and i ended up making a complaint, during which i cried in front of the con’s assistant director. so there’s something i can check off my bucket list. i also met the director, who came over to reassure me they were fixing things and said, “i keep saying i need a machete to take off people’s heads this year.” so obviously i immediately liked her! in the end, i did get their autographs (on the same p3d/p5d game) for fifty fucking dollars... i’d been expecting more like thirty. and they didn’t even personalize them. sad trombone noise. they were nice though.

then i rushed over to the free autographs and saw kara edwards (chihiro in the danganronpa anime) and had her autograph a wall scroll i’d bought from a vendor. i wish i could’ve gone to her q&a because she seemed sweet.

and right after THAT, i got in line for tara sands (a bunch of pokemon) and had her sign a manga volume i bought for my friend. she was also awesome and i really wish i could have gone to her q&a because we had this exchange:

me: this is for my friend who’s a huge bulbasaur fan

sands: oh, you’re such a good friend!

me: i know. and i won’t let them forget it.

sands: [laughs] that’s good! keep it up, i like your style!

i then went to greg’s q&a, which was fun. he mentioned that while recording the audio commentary for ouran, caitlin glass (haruhi) and todd haberkorn (hikaru) got really uncomfortable during one of the twincest scenes and started talking about anything else they could so they wouldn’t have to talk about the twincest, and in the commentary you can just hear greg laugh a little because he’d made himself laugh by thinking of saying “i just think it’s hot” but kept himself from saying it out loud. the hero we deserve tbh.

whigfield - saturday night (i actually don’t like that song btw)

at this point, it was time for the 18+ panels to start, so i went to one where yuri, tara platt, lisa ortiz (idk her), and billy kametz (same) did in-character readings of various scripts. they did a couple of star wars ones which obviously did nothing for me, except that tara did bb-8 in a christopher walken voice, which was fucking hysterical. the other one i remember was lisa doing a southern belle voice narrating the notebook, with yuri as sasuke (i think) as noah, and billy as lelouch (?) as ally. but the best one, of course, was the last one, which was the iocane powder scene from the princess bride, performed by yuri as spider-cop (iirc) as the sicilian and tara as elizabeth as westley. it was AMAZING.

then i went to greg’s 18+ panel where he recounted risqué stories like when his mom wanted to watch an anime where his character has anal sex. i remember it being hilarious but unfortunately don’t remember any specifics other than him affectionately calling his lawyer the C-word and a story about beating up an asshat in the o’hare airport after asshat broke a jigglypuff ornament his friend made him.

blondie - sunday girl

so having stayed out past 11:30 for greg’s panel the night before, and forgetting to take melatonin before bed... i actually couldn’t wake up sunday morning so didn’t end up going back to the con at all. which was really sad and disappointing as it meant i missed getting greg’s autograph, a panel on autism in anime fandom, and the voice actor roundtable panel, all of which i really wanted. so after finally getting up at 2:30pm i spent the rest of the day super depressed and mad at myself and just sad and disappointed.

the end.
