#but please be aware of the content

[thefloatingstone]

If anyone else watches Nexpo, he put up a new video 4 days ago about Petscop.

It's a very good video, but the only content warning at the start is for "Psychological abuse" and flashing lights.

However, because he failed to do so, in case this is seen by anyone who needs to know this and who watches him, please note the Petscop video contains in detailed discussion about a real case of child abuse pretending to be "therapy" which resulted in death including censored footage.

As the video makes no attempt to warn you about this and I had to get that brain poison unprepared at 2am last night, I just wanted to spread the word because it's genuinely upsetting. And I do not get upset about this sort of thing easily.

PSA for new/younger Undertale fans!

TLDR: Be critical of the content you consume, especially when it pertains to abuse.

I've been noticing a bunch of new faces in the fandom!! I'm super excited to see the fandom revitalized and y'alls new ideas!

However, there's a few things to keep in mind to stay safe (looking at you minors)

While it's not as popular nowadays, when you go through old content, you're gonna stumble across Frans content

For those who aren’t familliar with the term, Frans is the ship name for Frisk/Sans. We could get into the whole debate about the ethics of aging up character and adult/minor pairings, however I'm tired and don't want to

If you want to learn more about that topic, I'd recommend the angry victim’s essay on their experiences as a kid in fandom. Link. TW for pedophilia, S/A, self harm, incest, and general grossness towards kids

Anyways, the issue isnt that a lot of Frans content features unhealthy dynamics and abuse. That’s all fine and dandy, a lot of people process their trauma through fiction. However, frequently in these comics, fics, art, etc, the abuse is framed as romantic and healthy, which isnt super great for people actually in these situations.

Dating someone who’s obsessive, twice your age, and violent isn’t romantic. It’s abuse. When it’s not properly framed or given in the context of being wrong in the real world, people (especially kids) are going to be more vulnerable to being taken advantage of by predators.

If the media you’re consuming is telling you that the unhealthy relationships you’re in are romantic, its gonna be more difficult to escape.

My goal isnt to send a bunch of hate to Frans creators, or acuse them of grooming. I just want young fans to be aware of the real-world dangers of these dynamics.

[lunarlapinou]

Nobody ever talks about Johnson but I wanna talk about him so bad

Ngozi made like such a complex character and just like rarely ever talks about him! But I wanna know more about our 4th wall breaking, weirdly philosophical goalie!! I have so many questions!!!

I wanna know how he feels about his situation! Like does he love it, hate it, or just view it as a natural part of his life that he can’t run away from??

How does he feel about the main characters? Like does he mentally view them as his best bros because he knows everything that has happened or will ever happen to them? Or does he resent them because they all have the spotlight and he’ll never be the main character?

Has he known since he was born that he was just a side character in a story surrounding someone that doesn’t even exist yet? OR does he recognize that his backstory never really happened and he was only truly “born” when Bitty came to Samwell?! But even then, did he always know or did he have to meet Bitty and learn that?

Did he feel the end of the comic coming??? Did he try to stop it or did he just realize that he was powerless and let it end?? Does the fact that the comic is done mean that he’s dead or frozen in time???? I NEED ANSWERS.

title: "my friend hervé leclerc, father of charles, the young and talented f1 driver" source: sylviebourgeois.com year: 2021

At the moment, in the evening, I fall asleep to a documentary on F1. It's quite poorly done with a montage of images cut very quickly and hysterical music in order to create sensationalism, while this world of speed is sensational enough in itself, there is no need to add more. But what I love are the interviews with these young drivers who, for some, like Charles Leclerc or Esteban Ocon, started in F1 when they were barely 20 years old, they are my two favorites. Esteban because he has a good state of mind, and Charles because I knew his dad, Hervé.

I met Hervé Leclerc in Cap-d'Ail when I was 18 years old. His stepfather Charles Manni was my mother's childhood friend. We met again in Paris, when I was coming up from Besançon, in a truck, with my brother, another Hervé, 7 years older than me, and his best friend, Serge, studying, like him, in architecture. [...]

[...] That year, [my brother and his friend] regularly went to Paris to see construction sites or girls, I don't know anymore. I often jumped into their home-office truck and went to see Hervé Leclerc who spoke to me about his passion for cars and his dream of being an F1 driver. He lived with his grandmother, an exceedingly elegant lady who helped him financially in his desire to become a future champion. I saw Hervé again, a year later, when I went to live alone in Cap-d'Ail in my mother's vacation home that she had inherited from her own mother, more precisely, the half-house, her older sister having inherited from the other party. I wanted to earn my living, to be independent, I worked as a hostess in Monaco and took evening classes to learn how to design clothes.

In the meantime, Hervé Leclerc had done a lot of racing in F3, he was very fast. The manager of the Châtre circuit believed in him and wanted to push him to succeed, but another racer who had more experience than him in karting, became their official racer. Hervé was terribly disappointed. He continued training and racing, but his pain at not being chosen turned into an obsession. He moved in with his mother, Monique, a very beautiful woman, who had started a new life near Monaco with Charles Manni, my mother's childhood friend. Charles was poor as a child, perhaps the only poor person in Monaco. He had made his fortune supplying mechanical parts to the automobile industry, and had built his factory in Fontvieille, a district of the Principality located under the zoo where an elephant cried night and day, and a stone's throw from the old port where my parents and Charles had their sailboats.

[...] About ten years later, Hervé Leclerc got married and projected his love of cars, his will, his talent, his F1 desires, his humor, his good humor and his kindness onto his sons whom he initiated very early in karting. The ghost of the former kart racer's victory, which cost him his destiny as champion, certainly had something to do with it. Very quickly, Hervé Leclerc was able to admire the victories of his sons who never stopped winning and climbing the ranks, but alas, he was not able to see the destiny of Charles, his second child, who made his dream come true. and that of his father to become an F1 driver.

[anxiouslyextroverted]

So a few of my irls were talking about how c!dream never targetted c!tommy and or had a dependency issue and I just wanna correct that.

c!Dream at the start of the series (since now the start is considered canon) constantly went after the discs even when c!Tommy told him he wanted to have a truce and that they were allies even wanting to play them together with c!Dream. c!Dream agreed to those terms but then attacked him 5 minutes later anyway.

Not forgetting the first disc fight where c!Dream targetted c!Tommy the whole time and only gave c!Sapnap and c!Ponk and c!Alyssa a slap on the wrist.

c!Dream spent a good portion of a Tommy stream donating him msgs to play the discs.

A couple of early streams of c!Dream trying to get c!Tubbo o someone else against c!Tommy.

Not really targetting but he said "Tommy is under my protection" which is that dependency thing idk it counts.

c!Dream built a tunnel to c!Tommys base.

c!Dream during L'manberg arc seemed more against c!Tommy than c!Wilbur and the others more often than not.

c!Dream focused on getting c!Tommys friends against him, such as most notably c!Tubbo and c!Wilbur in pogtopia arc.

c!Dream betrays c!Tommy in pogtopia arc after initially helping c!Tommy out. He tells c!Tommy this is due to 'business' he also tells him, 'that he put something better over friendship' (aka the revival book he got from c!Schlatt) (either way, he still betrayed him.)

He tells c!Tommy at the end of l'manberg blowing up that 'everythings just getting started', and makes it out as if c!Tommy was in the wong.

A few weeks before exile. c!Dream and c!Puffy went around destroying everything including c!Skeppys home and then framing it on c!Tommy with signs. c!Dream in particular is excited for people to log on and for them to get mad at c!Tommy.

The above was confirmed canon when during Exile trial, c!Dream says that c!Tommy had blown up c!Skeppys house (or he infers it), showing the damage that he himself did.

In Exile trial, I'm not gonna lie c!Tommy totallyyy fucked up here by burning a little TINY tiny small tiny bit of c!Georges home and then trying to fix it. And then he lied about it. (/sarc) But, c!Dream was provoking him in the whisper chat with ":)" and "have fun on probation :)"

During exile, he focuses on putting all blame for his problems on c!Tommy. Not just saying that to c!Tommys face but on other people's streams, he was there talking about how much of a nuisance c!Tommy is and what not.

In exile, he proceeds to get c!Tommy dependent on him so c!Tommy will help with his goals later on. But the way he goes about this is to a severe extreme like how he snaps at him and hits him with an axe or arrow, he takes great enjoyment in bullying c!Tommy and getting others like c!Lazarbeam to bully him too, he makes sure c!Tommy is completely lonely even sending c!Ghostbur away who was memory loss so how could he break c!Dreams plans exactly?, he gasights c!Tommy into thinking that c!Dream didn't kill Mexican Dream, he blows up c!Tommys base despite never telling c!Tommy the rule about how he can't have chests underground.

He goes onto track c!Tommy down. And again, its more the way he goes about it.

Once c!Tommy is back in L'manberg, c!Dream blows up the community house and frames it on c!Tommy. Getting everyone against him and he tells c!Tubbo that he is affiliated to c!Tommy based on the disc that he says is 'Tommys most prized possession' which is him getting c!Tubbo to go against c!Tommy once more.

After Lmanberg gets blown up again. c!Dream tells c!Tommy "I'm not done with you. Our stories not over... Our stories not over" c!Tommy says "Our stories not over but it will be... It will be soon" and c!Dream replies "I don't think our story will ever be over, Tommy. I think that you're just too fun. I don't think It'll be over."

In disc finale, he proceeds to act like that c!Tommy is his main target, calling him the key to the server and going after him more than c!Tubbo. And puts the idea in c!Clingyduos heads that he needs all the possesions to control the server. (now even though c!Dream staged this whole thing and wasn't actually saying his motivations, c!Tommy never knows that he lied about that not at this point at least. It further riles c!Tommy up and has him believing that c!Dream really is obsessed with hurting him and since c!Dream never explains why properly, it comes off to c!Tommy that he is obsessed for no reason.) (Also possible for it to be half staged making the motivations semi-true)

Then, c!Dream causes c!Tommy to get stuck in the cell with him by controlling c!Ranboo to do that (which this is confirmed that he really did do this, confirmed in the final lore stream and in dream xds video)

The point of c!Dream allegedly lying to make c!Tommy think c!Dream was after him all the time is further solidified when in the prison arc. c!Dream refers to c!Tommy as a light, and key and keeps going on about studying death with him. I know a lot of this may very well be real and a result from him being mentally ill from isolation, but theres so many lies sprinkled in here like telling c!Tommy that he never tested out the revival book before when he had (btw correct me if Im wrong here, I could of got the dates mixed up)

c!Sam also claims that c!Dream kept going on about c!Tommy in the prison, c!Sam also says that c!Dream was practically manically laughing after he killed c!Tommy. (Obsession, putting on an act of obsession, mentally ill from the prison sure maybe all 3)

After c!Dream escapes prison, he immediately goes after c!Tommy. (Which sure is to scare c!Tommy into no longer going after him or whatever it could be an act) But he's still putting the idea in c!Tommys head that he's obsessed with hurting him, and don't say that he did this unintentionally because we already have the 'you're too fun line' and several other moments to prove otherwise. He also then puts signs around c!Tommys home saying 'watch your back' and ":) I'm watching" and he makes a trap for c!Tommy to fall into playing back a messed up disc. Don't say that this was apart of c!Tommys delusion because c!Eryn saw it too and a few others did from what I remember-unless thats retconned idunno.

In c!Wilburs finale, c!Dream can't stand the idea of the discs being burned. (The discs are affiliated with c!Tommy as c!Dream has said before, and has said that the discs are c!Tommys most prized possesion) He still cares about them even now. He also watches c!Tommy for majority of the time.

In Dreams space, he claims that his character was not solely torturing c!Tommy for the sake of it, but that he still really enjoyed hurting c!Tommy. Its to vague to tell if Dream is denouncing the 'c!Dream is obsessed with c!Tommy' theory or not. I believe he is saying that it is half true- as in that his character is, but that he has reasons to do so, and or that this wasn't his only plan.

During the final lore finale, c!Dream claims that he wasn't targeting c!Tommy and that he had left him alone however that contradicts with everything I wrote above, so 1. He thinks he left c!Tommy alone, 2. He was referring to the present where he did leave him alone and purposely/or accidentally ignoring the past, or 3. he knows he didn't and is just trying to rile c!Tommy up. Either way he goes onto admit that he did cause c!Ranboo to get c!Tommy stuck in the prison. He also confirms later on that he genuinely believes c!Tommy is the cause of the ruining of his server. "Why are you ruining everything all the time" "You deserved it (torture)" "I am (a villain), I tortured you."

c!dream also knew c!tommy was farming potatos, and he also was excited over c!tommy potentially joining his side

And not to mention. Out of everyone on the server that gets c!Dream to give up and somewhat open up, its c!Tommy... because ofc it is. No ones surprised.

I think that's everything. as always I'm happy to debate with people If anything is wrong, correct it. If anything is missed, let me know. ty

I hate the fact that i need to divert a bit from my usual content, guys. But i have no choice but to do this😭 its the best i can do in this situation as a teenager who is scared for war. This post is a clearer explanation of the theories I mentioned in my previous post .

(i will provide translation for certain sentences)

(red italic highlight means user in tiktok)

Purple text means my comment

Translation:

Jeo; What if she(Alice Guo)'s being used as a distraction of the [Chinese] government to the [Filipino] people so that it would not be obvious that they are doing something in private? (Ur not sure)

Bat mo natanong; The fact that that when the issue about Alice Guo started, China suddenly became active [and aggressive towards our navy] ☠️☠️☠️

misskonasiya: while the [Philippine] government is busy bc of Alice Guo's case, china is already preparing☠️

Kai: it makes sense, since after the case of Alice Guo, China became aggressive too

Translation:

R (replying to destenee_.) : maybe the secret agreement with china was true. Based from his [prev Pres. Duterte] statement that was shown on tv "that's just water" lmao

Translation:

angel; and i dont know why but it seems like there's a connection [Of this WPS situation] to Inday Sara[current vice pres.]'s resignation[resigning from a position in DepEd or Department of Education]

[(user); connecting the dots fr]

Angel (replying to user); i also read somewhere that there's lots of chinese [people] in Cataduanes😭😭 [Cataduanes is an island province located in Luzon]

destenee_. ; its also suspicious that the news went crazy about inday Sara spending millions [of pesos] in 11 days, like??? And her[VP Sara] suddenly resigning smells fishy, its like she's stepping away from the government to wash—

destenee_. : —herself once war starts or whatever happens, she could easily say "i dont have anything to do with that" bcuz what if after [prev. Pres] Duterte stepped out of the government, he warned Sara that smth will happen then and there, this and that—

Translation:

miss jaii ; the sole reason why the Duterte family wants to separate Mindanao from Luzon and Visayas is bcoz Duterte and Chinese president [Xi Jinping] had a secret gentleman's agreement that the Philippines will be given to China

miss jaii ; but the Mindanao island will be separated because they[Duterte family] wants to build their own [country]

Translation

(user) : what if Duterte called the chinese pres to ask help in a way of causing harassment to the west philippine sea so that Marcos [our surrent president] will feel pressured in the situation and then he will resign, prompting for sara + (cont. in my own words and understanding; to take over the position of president)

Translation:

"wps can be yours[china] but you're only mine[referring to a gf or bf or crush]"

I appreciate the possessiveness, but youre so petty bcuz u dont even have a label on that person (hayup ka kase)

Translations:

"just give the WPS [to china]"

"that sea is more important than our lives[?]" (This is said/read in a more insulting/harsh way)

"what if you just give it[wps] up"

"[theyre] thinking about the sea more than the million lives on line]

"give it[wps] up"

Source: tiktok user @ysabel.777

If you dont trust this source as much as i do, then go ahead and check out the tag #west philippine sea and/or #atin ang west philippine sea. Users out there certainly explains the situation best than i do.

Or if you want, you can do your own research about this situation.

Do note that these are SIMPLY THEORIES. Theories that possibly connect the dots of the chain of events happening here😭 I really cant believe that im living the day I post shit about wps. China has just been much more aggressive towards us, i cant keep silent about this especially that i have a platform to post to. This is my voice, and im screaming whatever the hell i can to make y'all aware of this situation.

#Amin ang West Philippine Sea‼️🇵🇭🇵🇭

[cheddar-baby]

im not going to seek it out for my own mental health but im 100% sure there is some tiktoker who has made a video infront of a Félix González-Torres piece saying "i could make this". Like his work is ripe for that exact type of content hog.

Rambling about a Character from a random otome game ^^

There is this new otome game that had just had it's EN release in north America called Lovebrush Chronicles

At the time I was in a in a need of a bit of an otome fix, and have been wanting to play something new, and after playing some time in the game, I think this game was absolutely worth it! All of the characters at least had some kind of endearing qualities in them, and the story itself actually has one of my favorite tonal whiplashes.

Knowing me though, I also wanted to come into this game to figure out who was the biggest foodie out of the main ensemble and after some time of playing the game, I think that role belongs to Ayn.

Ayn is the kind of character that mainly fits the tsundere archetype where on a surface level, a majority of the time you see him he is very spoiled, cynical, and a bit of a jerk at times, but the more you get used to him the more he softens up.

When it comes to his eating habits, he is certainly an interesting an a more unique case especially when it comes to other glutton characters in that.... he is a bit of a hypocrite. He always chastises the MC and even other characters for eating so much, while he himself is just as much of a glutton, even if he doesn't want to admit so. He is said to have a big sweet tooth, and often likes to indulge on pastries and candy, but he tries to keep that part of him as much of a secret as possible. I am still not to sure why he wants to keep that particularly a secret in particular (I will probably discover later) but it could be a general combination of prejudice, and not wanting to come across as silly and childish. If I do end up reading more of the story, or more about Ayns character maybe soon he could be more comfortable about this aspect of him.

Edit: I also forgot to mention that Ayn is the only character who has mostly food for his affinity gifts

When it comes to the actual story content in general, the teasing is through the roof! A majority of the time the topic would be dangling over, and would either end up having Ayn dancing around the topic, or him feeding the MC (which in my bias I want him to be the one being fed instead) yet when these moments are there they are done very well, and I am left satisfied.

Now here are some of the main highlights that I found that I think you might enjoy:

Alrighty then that is all I have to show for now, I hope you enjoyed looking though this, and if you are ever interested in playing the game, let me know so I can friend you ^^
