#but stan somehow always has something to pay with

[irfrenchfries]

Sea grunks! This might be my last Forduary thing before this blog goes into hibernation. If it is, see y'all next year unless I head back into my art basement before then!

[mixingandmelting]

Hey so how do you think the bat boys would deal with a reader who makes it very obvious they’re crushing on the batboys? For not serious situations, they’re sweeter and just more in a good mood whenever the boys are around? Blushes a lot around them and the boys don’t have to be talking directly to them? (Crush can talk to the bat boys normally if the situations serious). (Crush has normal conversations with others people. But goes around telling other super hero friends or just normal friends whenever the bat boys is brought up by other people, they think the bat boys are cute. And always hyping them up to their friends/and the batboy friends even when the batboys are there).

Dick:

He’s flattered really. Yes, unfortunately for everyone, he’s quite aware that he’s attractive but it’s not something he often pays attention to. With trying to protect the world and fighting crime 24/7, being attractive is the last of his priority. But when you gush about him- his abilities, ideals, skills, him as a person - he preens. Sure, he’ll get flustered when you go off on how great he is (and how cute which really takes him off guard) despite the fact he’s right there. And of course he covers himself with the good old classic of clearing his throat even though the corner of his lips won’t stop twitching and the blush on his face gets worse by the second. It’s adorable really. You’re so obvious from how you fan over him whenever he’s brought up in conversations and completely burning when it’s just the two of you and all he’s doing is standing next to you. He sometimes struggles to keep his intrusive thoughts to himself, to tease and see if you can possibly flush even more if he were to poke or “accidentally” brush against you. Though, he’s starting to think you’re doing it on purpose and trying to trip him up when you become completely normal when he’s talking about a mission only to go back on talking about how cute and amazing he is to the person next to you (extra kudos to you when you somehow successfully get the other become a fellow Nightwing stan). Still cute though.

Jason:

People often think he’s dense in the romantic field. From being dead to being back alive and being all rough and reckless, all the typical stuff. It’s truly unfortunate (not really) that that’s not the case and he knows you have a crush on him. Like seriously? It’s so obvious, he’s concerned if there are people who can’t tell that you have a crush on him. The problem is that he doesn’t know what warranted it. He knows he’s quite a shot. Perhaps not as much as Dick given his personality and dark humor, but he has charmed plenty of women with his looks. However, being a former crime lord to now a vigilante outlaw isn’t really all that  glorious or something that gets others to swoon over… So yeah, he doesn’t know why you would get all hyped up over him whenever he’s brought up in conversations. Whether he’s there or not, you would rave over him which gets him to do a double take and play with his helmet or muzzle, whichever one he chooses to wear, because suddenly he’s feeling a bit too hot and needs some air to cool his face. All he does is stand next to you and when it’s you and him alone, he sometimes worries how red you get. He won’t lie, seeing you smile more because he’s there makes his heart itch and grin a bit. Plus, he doesn’t mind as much as others would think since you know when to get back to normal and become serious when things are serious.

Tim:

Someone save him. Someone please save him. You have an obvious crush on him and he has no idea what to do. In fact, he didn’t think anyone would possibly develop a crush on him as big as yours. He’s Red Robin and the former third Robin not many people really take note of. Well other than he’s Batman’s former sidekick and also fights crimes like the rest of the Bat family. You, on the other hand, are making it your life mission to tell everyone how incredible he is. Doesn’t matter where, when, and if he’s right there or not. The minute he’s brought up, boom. You’re off describing him in every way possible. Amazing, intellectual. Also what do you mean he’s cute? Since when was he considered cute? A part of him is on to you, wanting to believe this is all a set-up. A prank set up by his friends or family. The other part, he can’t keep a calm facade around you, covering his face with one or both hands to hide the blush that goes down his face to the base of his neck. There’s also lots of fake coughing and clearing his throat involved. Lots, to cover the happy tingles he gets, registering there’s someone who acknowledges his efforts and  talents. It gets worse and he gets even more conscious when you’re matching his expression when the two of you are alone. He’s grateful that at least you’re back to normal when things are going down at least. 

Duke:

Okay. Wow. You have a crush on him and it’s painfully obvious. There’s a first time for everything and this? This is definitely a first. Forget about Tim and his whole deal with Red Robin, some of the villains in Gotham don't even know his name. That should be telling how low in the pyramid he is. Not that it matters to you apparently. He’s with you and his group of friends and he can hear all the things you say about him given he’s right there. And it doesn’t stop you from fawning over his powers, his fighting and detective abilities, and- uhm ok. Good to know you’re into his looks. He lost track how many times this happened. He does remember by the end, he’s rubbing his face and resigning to sigh through his nose in lieu of groaning out loud. You describe him as if he’s the world’s finest. He can feel the heat radiating off his whole head and body so he has a pretty good idea how he looks. It’s better when he’s alone with you. Your face is burning and he does everything to make the vibe less awkward. It doesn’t work and he makes it more awkward as his mind and your face now resembling a tomato reminds him you have a crush on him. He does wonder how in the world you’re able to snap back to normal so quickly when he’s going through heavy material with you. All fan-vibe gone, you’re listening and giving input which are often good points and covers any areas that were missed. 

Damian:

He doesn’t understand your behavior. One moment you’re fine, societal “normal” according to what those around him taught him. You’re casually chatting, making jokes, and expressing emotions like anyone else. On another, you’d suddenly be jumping around and praising him all over the place the second someone drops his name. Disregarding how he stands literally behind you and his cheeks completely pink, gradually turning to red, he thinks of you being just as embarrassing when Dick or someone else in the family brags about him. His skills with the katana, compassion for animals- he can somewhat tolerate that. He completely disagrees over him being hot-cold. He is not hot-cold. His personality also does not resemble a cat. Also how is he cute? He’s far from the word cute, period. Then there’s when you’re alone with him. Face completely rosy and dusted in pink. Every single time without fail, it’s only you and him. All he’s doing is standing next to you and instead of being either normal or chaotic, you’re suddenly blushing. He had entertained the idea of you having interest in him. Until he brings up a new case to you. It’s concerning how you go back to being normal and, surprisingly, making plausible conclusions that help him find a new lead. So despite what everyone around tells him that you have a crush on him, he’s having a hard time seeing it. You are sweeter when he’s around but he feels as though having a crush doesn’t associate with split personalities.

EWAN MITCHELL INTERVIEWED FOR THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER MAGAZINE.

THAT EPISODE IS GOING TO SATISFY SOME DRAGON-HUNGRY FANS. RHAENYS CERTAINLY MET HER DEMISE, BUT AEGON'S FATE WAS LEFT A LITTLE MORE VAGUE.

"It’s a seismic event that’s changed the future going forward with these characters."

"Aegon’s fate remains unknown."

"I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone."

"But going into episode five, you are going to see the fallout of Rook’s Rest, which I can’t wait for people to see."

"It’s a massive blow for Team Black."

"The line in the sand has been drawn, and Aemond just crossed that line."

"And there’s no going back. I’m sure there will be retaliation."

WHAT ARE AEMOND'S TRUE MOTIVATIONS IN THIS WAR? IF NOT LOYALTY, WHAT IS IT THAT'S DRIVING HIM?

"I think there are many things that are driving him, but one of them that I loved to play with and explore was this idea that he wants his mum."

"Every time I shared a scene with Olivia Cooke around the council table, every time I looked at Alicent Hightower, I very much imagined Aemond and Alicent sitting on a Dornish beach, far from war, sipping on piña coladas [...]"

"Aemond having become the war hero and managing to make his mum happy, in his eye, so to speak."

"Whether or not that’s Alicent’s version of happiness is another thing."

"But that’s how Aemond sees it. So I think that’s one of his is driving motivations."

"Also, what Alicent does in episode seven of season one, that’s something that Aemond doesn’t forget."

"When they’re all arguing about where Aemond had heard this illegitimate [child of Harwin] Strong [rumor] from, Alicent went back to the idea that this kid had been physically damaged and changed for life."

"She was the only voice that was backing him up in that moment."

WHO DOES AEMOND BELIEVE BELONGS ON THE IRON THRONE?

"You don’t necessarily know what is going on behind Aemond’s eye."

"He’s a very calculative person."

"He’s not just your one-dimensional black cat and mindless sociopath kind of character."

"He is thinking at all times."

"You see that in the first four episodes — in so much of them he operates from the peripheries."

"But, does he even want the throne? (Shrugs)"

HAS HE FALLEN VICTIM TO THE "HEIR AND THE SPARE" RESENTMENT, LIKE DAEMON?

"He feels that Aegon lacks the perseverance to be king."

"Aegon says it himself: He has no wish to rule."

"Whereas Aemond, he’s been studying with the masters."

"He’s been training with the sword, so he very much feels like he would make a worthier king, whether or not that’s what Aemond wants."

DOES DAEMON SEE HIMSELF IN AEMOND?

"That’s a good question."

"I don’t know if I could answer it."

"Maybe it’s one for Matt [Smith, who plays Daemon]"

"But I think a part of Aemond would wish that Daemon saw Aemond in himself."

"There’s so much of his image that lends itself to that idea that Aemond is very much paying homage to a young Daemon Targaryen, with the Targaryen black and the long hair."

"It’s very reminiscent of the rogue prince. Aemond being Daemon’s biggest stan, he would definitely want to live in Daemon’s head rent-free."

DO YOU THINK SEEING AEMOND IN A MORE VULNERABLE LIGHT SOMEHOW MAKES HIM MORE FRIGHTENING? IT'S LIKE THE PERSONAL VENDETTA — WHETHER IT'S AGAINST HIS BROTHER AEGON, RHAENYRA OR ANYONE ELSE — BECOMES A LITTLE SHARPER.

"I very much wanted to portray the image of someone who had manufactured their body into a lethal weapon."

"This kid doesn’t need armor. He doesn’t need to be brandishing a Valyrian steel sword to appear like he could ultimately end those characters’ lives in those moments."

"There’s something powerful in that regard. Me and Geeta Patel, we always talked about the possibility, up to that scene, of maybe Aemond wrapping a blanket around himself as he was leaving, or maybe using his hands to cover himself as he was leaving."

"But we were very-like minded in the respect that this is a character who does not care what you think about him."

"And that carelessness, it’s quite scary."

"Talking about that code coming into place, he cannot be seen as weak at all costs."

"Love in Aemond’s world is seen as a weakness."

"And so he has to put duty above that."

"He puts strength above that."

WOULD AEMOND BE IN THE SAME DANGER THAT HE IS WITHOUT VHAGAR?

"Probably not."

"He recognizes that he’s a young man who possesses a power that no one else has in Vhagar."

"He can do things that no one else can do, and she very much shapes the dynamic of any room that he walks into."

"He doesn’t need to be anything, because her shadow looms so large behind him."

"And so if he’s being threatening, it’s not because he needs to be — it’s because he wants to be."

IS IT WEIRD TO SEE SO MANY FANS CRUSHINT ON YOUR CHARACTER? THEY HAVE BEEN DEBATING WHO IS MORE 'BABYGIRL': DAEMON OR AEMOND.

"I haven’t got social media, so I don’t see it. But one of the results of not having social media is that it produces these beautiful, badass, fun letters from people from all across the globe."

"To read that, I take it all as motivation, whether we’ve had a good reaction or a negative reaction."

"I never take it for granted."

"But is Aemond babygirl? I don’t know."

"It’s a dilemma. What’s the definition of a babygirl?"

I THINK IT'S AN ATTRACTIVE CHARACTER THAT PEOPLE TAKE PITY ON A LITTLE BIT. SENSIBLE, A BIT VULNERABLE. MAYBE THEY THINK HIS HEART'S IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

"Like maybe there is good underneath it all."

"I’ll take the compliment."

WHAT'S TO COME FROM AEMOND THIS SEASON?

"I don’t want to spoil it, but it’s going to be good."

WOULD YOU SWITCH TO TEAM BLACK?

"No, no — I’d want to stay on Team Green."

WHAT'S TO COME FROM EWAN MITCHELL? HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING IN THE PIPELINE THAT YOU'RE EXCITED ABOUT?

"Nothing is set in stone yet."

"I’m down to the last few for something that I really want and I’m not going to say what it is because as soon as I do, I won’t get it."

"[I’m up for] any challenge, any character."

"I love horror, horror is definitely a genre I’d love to venture into."

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ gentle hands ♡

Shisui who touches you oh so gently

• Fluff, Shisui Uchiha x fem!reader

•A/N: one more for you shisui stans☆〜（ゝ。∂）

It is a well known fact that the great shunshin no shisui passed most of his time training since he was a little boy, hands calloused by years of harsh training and multiple battles, muscles ripped with strength, strong legs that earned him his reputation across nations and messy curly hair accompanied by a broad nose and a warm grin. yes, that was Shisui. And although the boy was very dear to all, anyone with eyes could see how the Uchiha all but stuck to your side, arm draped across your shoulders as he leans close to your ear and whispers something that make the both of you laugh, always popping into existence, warm hands on your sides, scaring the shit out of you and anyone within range, ninjas tsking “kids these days”, making you blush and glare at him with a exasperated look on your face, him responding with a sheepish smile, chuckling, making it hard for you to contain your own, him reading you like a book and playfully squeezing your sides, a silent apology, there’s something endearing in the way he looks at you as his thumb slips underneath your shirt and gently rubs your waist, his warmth sending chills down your spine. “come on, don’t be so uptight! you should be used to it by now” he winks at you, letting you go, hands going to the back of his head as he asks you what you’re up to, filling you in in his last mission “really, i wish you’ve seen the way these people used katon in such a intriguing way in their daily lives. it really makes me wonder just how different yet similar we and people all across the world are..” he would ramble on and on, telling you all sort of interesting things he has come across, he just doesn’t want to stop talking to you🥺 asking you about your own missions and your opinion on this new technique he’s working on and what do you think about going to this new restaurant to try the food there? (sigh…you don’t even realize you’re on a date with how natural everything feels around him, it’s almost impossible to stay sad with him around, always trying to make you laugh somehow, giving you that dammed soft look each time he manages to make you laugh, making these stupid butterflies flutter on your stomach until it’s too late and you’re feeling his warm hands cupping your cheeks oh so gently, thumb sweeping across the soft skin, looking down at you with a warm smile on his face. it’s different from his usual smiles, a sort of quiet intimacy and tenderness on his face.)

Besides sometimes acting like a idiot he was born and raised in a well know and strict clan, he does know manners. always opening up the door for you, offering to pay for your meals together, always, always accompanying you home even though he knows you’re more than capable of taking care of yourself, he can’t help but worry okay? he just has this protective streak over you, all but following you around like a puppy, offering to carry your groceries, bags, whatever it is. he’s no show off but he’s pretty confident when it comes to his strength so he’ll stick around until you can’t handle it anymore:D

A/N: Mm i don’t know if i like this, i know it’s pretty incomplete but i wanted to give you guys something at least:D sorry for any spelling mistakes, those are just some random thoughts about him, i hope you guys like it~♡ btw i will be opening up asks since i want to write more for him but i have no idea what to actually write haha feel free to send me asks, but i can’t promise i WILL actually write your request since it’s only so my creativity can actually spark and make my head work^_−☆

Kyle Broflovski

26 y.o (He/Him)

Soul Synergy: Written on your palm is what your soulmate is thinking

Headcanons:

☆ Going to college on a full scholarship and with his help from his parents

☆ Still works part time at Tweek Bros Coffee, he wants to earn his own way in life

》 This feeds his caffeine addiction

☆ He still plays basketball, it helps him blow off steam

☆ Has a habit of piling to much on his plate

》 Stan usually has to remind him to take time for himself, forcing him to relax

☆ Probably tried to major in law like his dad but at some point he decided he really hated it

☆ Switches to something like English and General Classes for now.

》 I can see him becoming an Author! (I'm projecting)

☆ He tries to visit home often, holidays, birthdays, and on breaks!

☆ Does everything in his power to NOT talk about school. It's the last thing he wants to think about and he doesn't want to make his mother stress

☆ He and Stan live closer to campus, they went halfsies on an apartment together

》 Kyle cooks -> Stan does the dishes

》 Kyle handles paying rent -> Stan handles the handiwork around the house

☆ Will participate in Stan's board game nights if he has the time

☆ Although he loves D&D night and will not miss a session if he can help it. (I'm projecting)

》 I like to think he eventually becomes a DM the more he takes writing classes. I see those two going hand and hand

☆ He started carrying the lighter when Stan picked up smoking and it's just always been in his pocket

☆ Comes in handy when he smokes weed

》 I don't see him as the kind of guy who buys it or owns a bong/bowl/whatever, but I think he'll smoke if offered. Anything to just relax.

☆ Because of that he always carries an inhaler for Stan. He knows his friend hasn't had an asthma attack since they were kids, but just in case

☆ Also brings little bottles of water, enough for the other three. (Even Cartman if he can convince the guy to even look at water.)

☆ I didn't draw it but he's definitely got an EpiPen for sure.

》 He's the mom friend, I don't know what you expected

☆ Carries his glasses in the case, but he can't keep his glasses clean at all

》 Somehow his phone is immaculate, baffling really

☆ Looks at his palm often, so he started wearing gloves again

》 He gets distracted to easily with it

☆ The font on his palm is golden, looks like ink melting when it changes

☆ The closer his soulmate is to him, the quicker the words change.

》 If he thinks about it too much, he panics because what if he starts thinking something stupid and his soulmate laughs?

》 After a while he stops caring and just accepts that it is what it is.

☆ He's very protective of his hands because of it, often keeping his hands in his pockets if he's not wearing his gloves

》 More like he's protective over his soulmates thoughts.

His hand finds the silver necklace around his neck, the pointed star of David digs into his palm. The blunt ends of each point reminds him to breath. He turns it over a few times, doing the same with the lighter in his pocket.

He catches it out of the corner of his eye, the font on his palm gleams and twists. Running down his pale skin like watercolor does a canvas.

'Kyle! I love you!'

Kyle let's out a little breath, it dissolves into a chuckle. That breath takes the tight feeling in his chest with it. The beautiful font leaves room for a smile.

"I love you too." He whispers to the palm, placing a kiss over the words.

(Here's the blank version! ♡ )

[mantequillamcwhoremick]

I'm not even caught up yet (I kick myself for it everyday 😔💔) but my predictions mweheheheheheh 😈😈😈 (some of this might've already happened in the latest chapters but I'm putting them here anyway):

• Mysterion joins Chaos' team at some point, idk how or why but he either 1. Joins bc he finds out Chaos = Butters and he wants to be around Butters obvi (and he would automatically take Butters' side in anything regardless of reason bc he's fucking whipped and stupid) or 2. Chaos finds out Kenny = Mysterion at some point (pre-joining forces or after, either way it happens) and keeps him around anyway (maybe at first he's still in his "no... we must protect bbg ✋😔" mood & tries to kick Mysterion out or whatever but Kenny somehow manages to stick around anyway). He tells himself it's bc he needs Mysterion on his side but really it's bc he misses Kenny :p (HONESTLY I COULD ELABORATE ON ALL OF THESE IDEAS AND MAKE EVEN MORE ALTERNATE ONES FOR HOURS AND HOURS BUT I HAVE TO CUT MYSELF OFF HERE)

• There's gotta be some sorta big like boss fight type of thing at the end. Like in my head I see this image of the town being completely lit in flames, chaos everywhere (teehee), ppl screaming & running lmao—like, it's bad. And Kenny & Chaos have this "Baby... Baby look at me! This isn't you 🥺" moment during their final epic battle amongst the burning rooftops and eventually Kenny convinces Butters to yield. After they catch their breath they have to quickly pack their shit and skip town and then they spend the rest of their lives hopping around, hiding their identities, and living happily ever after in their gay little world of crime <3 (bc I think Chaos will always be a petty criminal even after he retires from his terrorist days bc at this point, doing things like stealing or trespassing to find a place to sleep is probably the only way he knows how to survive)

• Also Karen goes to college and becomes incredibly successful and Kyle finally gives Stan a blowjob 😁 (then Kyle has nightmares for weeks of Kenny rubbing it in his face despite Kenny being halfway around the world by then with his boo)

• Another little thing is that we find out at some point that Butters had to use fake identities & stuff after he left South Park & probably got involved with some bad shit that made him incredibly street smart

OKAY I THINK I'M DONE these are my biggest ideas!

HBJAHSJBAHSJBAJSHJB HI POOKIE <333333 excuse my 1 million years late response

let's see... i'll try my best not to spoil you for the next chapters but I shall giggle and kick my feet if a prediction is spot on or close, so just ignore that.

1. "Mysterion and Chaos join forces at some point"

heheheheh well, both ways you described the possibility of this happening... let's just say you're not alone in not being in the know about this yet. I like where your mind is at, but I won't say about which of the two points🤭

2. "Big Boss fight type of thing at the end & 'Babe, this isn't you' moment"

BAJSBKAJSKAUHDUANABAKSS AAARGHHGHGHG I CANT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS im gonna cry. well i certainly hope that whatever happens will be perceived as deeper and less cliche than this but you'll see what I mean when the time comes. as for them living happily ever after in their gay little world of crime..... well, I love to know that that is your interpretation of the "Happy ending" tag. you guys should all tell me what it is you imagine to be the happy ending in this fuckass story...

3. "Karen goes to college, and Kyle and Stan... yeah"

oh Karen. my sweet summer child. She does very much deserve that... and by extension Kenny deserves to see his hard work pay off in his sister thriving. Let's surely hope that that happens. as for kyle and stan....... one can only pray for them.

4. "Butters had to use fake identities & stuff after he left South Park & probably got involved with some bad shit that made him incredibly street smart"

... you're gonna love what we're in for. hint: it has something to do with him burning down the Peppermint Hippo

THANK YOU SO MUCH POOKIEEEE ILY I HOPE YOU'RE TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF!!!!!! i actually screamed when i got this ask what the hell

[triptychcryptid]

DD characters on Valentine's Day and Christmas:

Stan: Surprisingly good gift giver. He takes a lot of thought and time into selecting gifts he knows people will like, then acts embarrassed and downplays it when you express how much you like it.

Ford: Gets you something ADJACENT to what you like because he was too busy with Church stuff and forgot that the holiday was coming up. Does not understand the value of Valentine's Day because it's just so...commercial. What the Hell's the point?

Dipper: Overthinks every gift he gives everyone ever. Usually does okay because he pays attention, but he spent DAYS deliberating over getting you that stuffed bear. And the kind of chocolates.

Mabel: Bakes cakes/cookies/ sweets and makes her own candies that are mostly an atrocity to look at but somehow taste amazing? Like how in the hell! The cakes and cookies are ALWAYS adorable. Will also make personalized sweaters for Christmas and they're just the best.

Saoirse: Here's your damned champagne and your stupid (elaborate) meal that she didn't even want to make, but you just whined SO EXPERTLY about how you wanted this specific thing, and god, she had to go to the store to get all this stuff. And she got extras for that stupid desert you like so much and didn't even mention wanting, but she KNOWS you like it, so she made it.

You got her this thing that you know she likes and has wanted forever? No, SHE'S not crying, YOU'RE crying!

Sherman and Linda: Absolute best gift givers. They buy MULTIPLE things you like and have been known to gift trips to Disneyland/Six Flags/trips to museums they know you'll like.

Stevie: Dead rats. She took care of your vermin problem. YOU'RE WELCOME.

@localcanadiancreature62

@tinfoil-jones I'm just imagining DD and PJc311 Stans being really good gift givers for holidays and Jerk Ford is somewhere between Saoirse and Stevie. XD

[sharksfrommars]

here is some rubbish I wrote out cus it made me laugh.

I was thinking about how Alex Hirsch once tweeted smth about how Stan would be swayed by 2016 Trump for a bit before learning he’s racist and bringing the brass knuckles out.

I’ve decided that Stan and Dipper go steal that golden toilet Trump apparently has.

also sorry if it’s inaccurate I’m British.

The golden shitter.

The year was 2016, and the craziest election of dipper’s life was fast approaching. He legally couldn’t vote yet, but that didn’t mean he would be fighting for a blue win! He had a whole plan to get all of gravity falls voting this summer. He really did not want Donald Trump to be president, because that would be really stupid.

Most of the town were great! They welcomed dipper’s impassioned speeches about democracy and the future of American politics and all readily agreed to vote. Even Ford, who had spent 30 years in a portal, agreed to vote.

The problem was Stan.

“Grunkle Stan! What do you mean, you ‘don’t vote’? It’s your democratic right!” Dipper cried. Stan laughed and took a sip from his Pit Cola.

“Look kid, democracy is a scam. I haven’t voted once in my life, and look, I’m doing great!”

“Urhggg Stan!” Dipper said, “we NEED your vote to keep Trump out of the office!”

Stan looked at dipper. “Trump as in Donald trump? The guy from the Apprentice?”

“YES” dipper sighed. “He’s running for president and we HAVE to stop him!”

Stan laughed. “No way, I love that guy! You hear he’s got a golden toilet? What I wouldn’t do to have one of my own…”

“Please grunkle Stan, he’s a total grifter!” Dipper begged.

“I like the sound of that! Maybe I will vote for him!” Said Stan. Dipper looked like he wanted to bash his head against the wall.

“You can’t be serious!” Exclaimed dipper.

“Ain’t he gonna get rid of taxes or something? That’s a great policy, cus I hate taxes.” Said Stan.

“Grunkle Stan, you don’t even pay your taxes. What difference does it make?” Retorted dipper.

“MAYBE it’ll get the IRS off my back.”

“Somehow, I doubt that.” Dipper sighed. “Please don’t vote for him, it’s against your material interests”

“Hang on,” said Stan, “I thought you WANTED me to vote! Ya said it was my ‘demographic right’ or something”

“Yeah, but don’t vote for HIM!” Dipper cried.

“ it’s MY vote, I can do what I want with it”

Dipper clawed his face in frustration. At that moment, Soos walked in, and dipper’s face lit up.

“Soos! My guy! Are you registered to vote?” He said.

“Oh, yeah dude, like totally ready for election day.” Said Soos.

“Don’t bother with him, Soos,” said Stan, “he’s gonna try convince you to vote blue”

Soos chucked. “No worries, dawg,” he said, putting a hand in dippers shoulder, “I always vote blue”

“You do?” Said Stan and Dipper, in unison.

“Why?” Asked Stan.

“Dude, it’s cus like, I don’t want Abuelita to get deported bro.” said Soos. “If she had to go back to Mexico, I’d have to go with her.”

Stan looked confused. “What does Trump as President have to do with ya grandma Gettin’ deported?”

Soos and dipper both stared at him. They explained to Stan that trump’s policies were ‘like kinda racist, dawg’, and that he talked a lot about sending immigrants ‘back to where they came from’.

“WHAT” yelled Stan. “He said WHAT? Who could have seen this coming! The billionaire grifter, being a racist piece of SHIT?? He coulda been a hero!”

Stab slumped back into his seat. “He doesn’t DESERVE his golden Shitter”

Dipper sighed. “I don’t know what you expected, grunkle Stan. Most billionaires are super terrible people.”

Stan stood up, and grabbed Soos by the shoulders. “Listen, Soos” he started, “no matter what, you and Abuelita are staying in gravity falls. If ya need fake birth certificates or something, I know a guy.”

Soos looked at Stan, with a tear in his eye, and gave him a massive bear hug. “You’re the best, Mr Pines.”

That’s when Stan had an Idea. He pulled the boys into a huddle.

“Dipper, Soos. I have a great plan. Bring Wendy, cus we’re going to New York!” 

Soos cheered, and so did dipper, until he stopped to say “wait, but that’s on the other side of the country.”

Ford was sitting at the dining table with Mabel, when he saw Dipper and Stan running out of the house with backpacks.

“Stanley? What are you and dipper doing?”

Stan and dipper stopped, like deer in headlights. Stan yelled “NON-SPECIFIC EXCUSE!”, picked up Dipper, and ran into Soos’ truck.

Ford looked at Mabel. “Should we stop them?” He asked. She shrugged.

“It’s nice to see them bonding.” Mabel answered. “They’ll be fine. Probably.”

I just saw your recent post on AM stans hating on Milex stans… I need a catching up please. What about LV and Amanda (?) and Matt too? I rarely ever dive deep into bands and their members, I just like to appreciate their music.

Thank you ♡

! long post incoming and i want to point out that i don't plan on using this blog to discuss any of these people (only maybe very rarely) - i don't like them, i don't think they're good people, i don't want to argue with people who think otherwise, and i usually ignore whatever they're up to - my main focus will always be on milex/miles !

hi anon! <3 i have no idea how much you know already, or if you basically don't know anything related to these three, or any of them. i will say that i have no screenshots concerning the things that i mention, but searching their names up on tumblr and/or scrolling through blogs like @/shit-talk-turner and @/alexstorm will make things more clear.

this whole thing started when louise posted a screenshot yesterday of an am fan saying some dumb shit about her in the comments and bringing up alexa (i still can't believe she posted this). she posted this with some equally stupid words (i don't have the screenshot - you can find it on twitter/tumblr/ig/tiktok/wherever), and matt then reposted her story, jumping to protect her (maybe amanda did too, i don't know). then she managed to screenshot some nice comments and posted those too, saying that 'love always wins' or something similar, and that haters can kiss her ass (this definitely didn't come across as her craving and asking for some compliments; she definitely doesn't need people babying her in order for her to feel good about herself) - which reminded me of something similar that amanda said like a year ago, that they don't pay attention to the haters anyways, of course after posting a long paragraph paying attention to them (makes me laugh just to think about it).

there are so many other hysterical and foolish things she does, like posting pictures of a messy bed (look, i'm fucking alex turner!), selfies with suspicious rings, other pics hinting at alex's presence, calling paparazzis to take pictures of them on the beach, pretending to be jane birkin and alex to be serge gainsbourg, going off about how independent she is while living off of alex's money, somehow managing to make matt's and amanda's marriage about her (with amanda encouraging her), 'accidentally' always doing these when miles has important things going on, etc etc (the fact that her and miles never interacted in real life is also deeply concerning. alex, dear, you should always trust your best friend when they don't like your partner, they always end up being right - especially knowing that miles was always on really good terms with alex's exs). it's clear that she's deeply insecure and adores when the attention is on her and when people are talking about her, and if she goes for a long period without this, she just has to pull something that will get fans talking. she's trying so hard to fit in and be the sexy rockstar girlfriend that she just ends up looking stupid.

if you don't know the real reasons why some people don't like louise, i'm just gonna post some links about her that pretty much sum it all up:

about amanda... now, if i remember correctly, amanda had a blog dedicated to her music, and people dug up some screenshots in which she replies to someone and uses the n-word, and then another post where she's being racist. these screenshots are somewhere in the depths of my phone and it would be impossible to find them, and regardless, these screenshots are so old that she could've well changed for the better since then.

the problem with her is the fact that she's having arguments in the comments with young fans (asking stuff like did they have brain tumours for breakfast and other ridiculous things...or was that louise?) and posts even more ridiculous stories in response to people bullying louise, and protecting her like she's a toddler who can't take care of herself. the pure arrogance and self-importance with which she communicates her ideas is just mental, she thinks that she's on the top of the world, and encourages louise to act the same way. it's baffling that two 40-ish women think that bullying 14 year olds will achieve anything other than encouraging other 'fans' to act the same way.

the thing about matt is just basically the fact that ever since he's been with amanda, he acts the same way as her. now, i know there's been some issue about some idiots commenting about his daughter, which made him deactivate his ig account, and i have absolutely no words for the people who dared to say anything about that poor, innocent, completely blameless child. but even before this, he turned to the same kind of arrogance as amanda and reposted all her stories concering louise. the way that they need to say over and over again what a good person louise is, how much alex loves her, how great their relationship is, how beautiful and kind and caring she is... makes you really question if she really is indeed all those things (especially if you opened those links i posted). more importantly, what exactly do they plan to achieve arguing with teenage girls? it's so childish, my god, they are only adding fuel to the fire. god knows what they're telling alex and also god knows what he thinks about it all.

there's something that i'm not 100% sure about, but i'm gonna say it in the hopes that someone will see this and will tell me if this is wrong or not: matt cheated on breana when both her parents died (this one is definitely true), and left her with 1 year old amelia, and fucked off to live with another woman (amanda denies being the woman in question, i have no idea). she was solo parenting for a while (breana said all these in a podcast), then matt woke up and decided that he wants something to do with his daughter after all, and ever since then he takes care of her too - good job love, you're still horrible though.

in short, l&a's insanely childish antics dragged matt into the whole thing too. they're constantly throwing hissy fits, in hopes to achieve god knows what, and then they feel proud of themselves for telling teenage girls off. which makes you think, what would happen if am would be 10 times more popular than they are know, and louise would get 10 times the hate she gets now? or even better, what would happen if louise would get the same amount of hate miles gets on the daily? she said in her screenshot that she knows that it's only a minority of the fandom that leave such mean comments - then what's the point of paying attention to it? all this just shows another reason why these two definitely don't like each other - miles has brains, the other one... well, i'm sorry. i tried my best to like them and look past their mistakes,but i just can't do it.

How do u think Ford would react in the same situation as Stan was at 17 - No home, no highschool diploma, and no brother because of something he did? Reverse au Stans have been rotting my brain I fear

Okay Hi, sorry this took forever to answer I was trying to rotate this in my mind and passed out instead.

My first question would be what would get Ford kicked out in the first place? He was Filbrick’s favorite and considered the golden/gifted child. Theres a couple of answers you could choose from and personally I’m unsure which would feel “most correct”.

You could also take the reversal AU farther in terms of making it where Stanley was the favorite of Filbricks rather than just changing that one incident. I could easily see it where Stanley is technically the older twin, gets Filbrick as his middle name, and then he’s actively favored due to his Masculinity and Strength. Maybe he’s still a liar like his Ma, but he has a good rapporteur with his Coach and is generally considered to be extremely Athletic.

So the answer to why Ford was kicked out you could create is that Ford was given an opportunity for WCT and he somehow blew it. Could be his math was off and it broke on it’s own, or something similar. You could also have Stanley be the one to accidentally break it again but that feels slightly off to me due to Stanly probably being more independent in this AU.

Anyways, it ends up Ford being kicked out because he blew that opportunity. And being the family disappointment over and over again, it became the last straw for Filbrick.

And boom, he’s kicked out.

Now onto the question at hand. I think unlike stanley, Ford would still actively pursue his education. Maybe either attending highschool while homeless until he graduated. Which can add some interesting conflict if he still has to see his brother there.

OR he gets his GED to fast track his Degree.

You could have him still go to Backsupmore, but he’s taken multiple loans and he’s forced to work through college to try and pay for it.

Maybe he ends up not getting a PHD since he wouldn’t have the proper amount of time to fast-track it. And perhaps he chooses a degree that can make money quicker rather than perusing his actual interests.

I think he’d still be a scientist of some flavor, he’d just be going into a field thats more easily applicable in capitalism rather then one purely for the fun of research.

I think Ford in this AU would be very tired and overworked. Not just cause he’s an over-achiever, but because he’s forced even more into the reality of the world around him. Forced to go hungry, probably the only times he would eat when he got kicked out would be At School, forced to work regular jobs, etc.

Cause Ford in Cannon is very much in a bubble of success. He’s never had a real job, he’s always been able to peruse his passions, and he was always believed by their parents.

So here, the bubble would be popped. He’s overworked, underpaid, and misunderstood by everyone. And his extra finger doesn’t help.

In terms of his relationship to Stanley. I think it would depend on how you would want to characterize him. Maybe as Filbrick’s favorite, he ends up adopting more Filbrick’s opinions. So even though he is deeply conflicted about the entire thing, he chooses to ignore it and try and focus on his boxing because thats what Pa would want… right?

He hurts and he misses his brother, but he can’t loose his favor with their parents. He just, he cant.

But maybe once Stan is out of the house, he looks for Ford. Wondering if hes okay. Trying to see if everything turned out okay?

Then maybe he find him in Gravity Falls, where Ford is doing some field study on trees or whatever cause a Paper Company wants to see if those trees are more efficient or whatever. And they finally see eachother again… and ford is PISSED.

Kyle w fake s/o that has a crush on him (?) 

The only reason Kyle did this was to get his parents off of his back

They were worried and thinks that Kyle might be gay because for the whole high school Kyle never brought at least one girl back to their house (not that they actually cared though)

Although Kyle was not having it, he wasn’t gay (mhm sure) and thought of just asking for ur favor to fake date him until the summer ends so that his parents would get off his back.

It goes a bit like this:

“Hey– Y/n I have a favor to ask you” “can we.. like– be girlfriend and boyfriend but fake? Like you get what I mean, you read books–” “but if you don’t I mean like we fake date like we do couple things but just for public well for my parents because they’ve been on my back ever since the fucking summer started, they’ve been hinting to me that it’s okay if I came out to them as gay” he rambled on and on, explaining the pickle he was on

“Alright– I get it, Kyle”

“Oh yeah, right sorry” 

You two set like typical house rules for it, 1. No one can know, even best friends. 2. No touching allowed unless it’s consented. (of course my man Ky is a gentleman) 3. No falling in love with each other. 

“Does the last one even matter?” 

“I think–” you lied, (it didn’t matter but somehow most books you read had that rule but ended up falling for one another and you like Kyle so– it must be a spell that should be added right?)

You ended up putting a fake relationship in front of everybody, including your friends and parents.  

Stendy probably invited you to a double date or two, Stan suspects that two of you were pretending to be bf and gf but Kyle debunked his suspicions when he kissed you in front of Stan, you were shocked but kissed back. Let’s just say that the car ride back to your house was awkward, something like:

“We’re here”

“A-ah.. thanks, I.. I enjoyed today” you mumbled, taking off your seatbelt.

He just nodded, never letting his eyes away from the wheels because he was too nervous and embarrassed with what he did. 

He probably took you out on a date or two, on those dates he was given some money from his parents that he used to pay for his and your meals. (let’s js say you don’t have to spend any money when ur with him)

Honestly, Gerald and Sheila was your fan, they loved, adored you so much, they were so thankful that you’re Kyle’s girlfriend. They probably laughed around with you as they told stories about how they were thinking was gay and all, Kyle would probably redden from their embarrassing stories and would shout, “MOM! DAD!” when he thinks they’ve told too much lmao.

At school, he waits for you to finish your classes because he drives you to school and back.

Kyle invites you to study dates in his house but mostly because Sheila always wants to see you, (little did you know Kyle liked seeing you too) sometimes that study date ends with you staying in their house– you insist not to but Sheila and Gerald always find a way for you to stay.

You staying at Kyle’s house always ends up with you sleeping on the bed and Kyle on the floor, Kyle probably thinks that it’s too embarrassing to let you sleep on the floor so he volunteers. But when you said that it’s okay for him to sleep next to you he blushes and rambles on about not wanting to make you uncomfortable and stuff, it took you a while of convincing when he finally slept next to you.

The next day was a pain honestly lmao, his arm was wrapped around you, he basically fell off the bed when he realized he hugged you in his sleep. Maybe a bit like:

Kyle grumbled in his sleep, the sun hit his eyes as he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze landed onto your sleeping body and his arm that was wrapped around your waist, his eyes widened as he gasped, backing away from you as he fell down to the floor. The loud crash made you wake up, you rubbed your eyes as you looked over Kyle who was breathless and rattled, "What's wrong..?" you mumbled, "N-nothing.. I just fell off" He stuttered.

lol Idk, I find it funny when things like that happen.

I can't think of anything anymore honestly, my brain is fried and this is just a worthless attempt to do head canons because I seems to can't write some.

[shippergirl-14]

Stan head canons

Hii, these are a little based on the episodes and popular opinions, but I also wanted to share some of my ideas. I guess most of them apply when he is older. ( Also, excuse my bad English in some of the phrases. I’m not sure if it’s right)

Please feel free to share your own head canons ^^

He is the messiest person to ever exist. All his clothes are scattered around his room together with music sheets and occasionally cans from energy drinks.

He loves animals, especially dogs. He sometimes goes to the local animal shelter to play with them. He drags Kyle with him.

He also invites Kyle everyday to walk Sparky with him. He loves walking around at dawn since the streets aren’t that busy.

His sleep schedule is completely messed up. He stays up way too long even on school days to play video games or work on songs.

He either has too much energy for the day or no at all. There is no in between.

Whenever he has to do an assignment, he is always procrastinating until the very last day. Somehow he always managed to finish it ( sometimes with Kyle’s help)

He wouldn’t survive a day without music. His headphones are always turned up to the max, making his friends question how his ears are still okay.

His music taste includes almost everything and he couldn’t tell you what his favorite song is. He also writes his own songs and plays the guitar. He wishes to be in a band again and is trying to convince some of his friends to join.

He somehow is still the quarterback of the football team, but he doesn’t take it really seriously. It’s fun sometimes though. The school forces every student to join a sports club.

His best subjects are music and history. Everything else is pretty average.

He only drinks at parties or with friends, but he often overestimates himself and ends up drunk and Kyle has to get him home.

He has undiagnosed adhd.

He is really good at Super Smash, but sucks at Mario Kart.

Stan loves Kyle’s hair and always tries to talk him out of cutting it. ( he had cried once when Kyle shaved his head as a kid)

He is the cousin of Craig and also has peruvian roots. He can speak Spanish, but is mad that Craig is better at it.

He is bisexual.

He absolutely can’t flirt without making it extremely awkward. His bros are the exception.

He either replies to a message immediately or weeks later. Phone calls aren’t even let through with a few exceptions like his mom, Kyle or Kenny.

Stan has given himself an earring and wanted give himself a piercing too. Kyle stopped him ( fr don’t do that. Mine got infected).

He has the habit of dying his hair blonde whenever something slightly inconvenient happens and regrets it afterwards.

Stan used to hold Kyle’s hand whenever he had to take his insulin shot. Since Kyle once nearly died from his diabetes, he is a bit more cautious about his best friend’s health.

Almost everyone likes him since he is a pretty chill guy.

He rarely eats meat and pays attention to only buying bio products.

annyeong! i am Dropping By to say that yes I'm still alive. and i know this won't get notes, i just wanna get smthn going bc ill be posting smthn soon!

january has been a wilddd wild month to say the least. the highlight i think most of y'all will care about is the svt con in my country that i WASN'T able to go to but my friends did so i lived vicariously through them and their fancams hehe. as a major E, i'm rly just happy to spend time with them and all.

but i'm not gonna lie when i say that it was a pretty tiring experience, physically and emotionally bc well what else happens when u invest so much on 13 men who make you happy?

being a kpop stan takes a lot. along with actual personal Life commitments, it does take a toll on a person.

to all my wips, i still see u and u will see the light of day somehow! just....lemme breathe haha

but anyway i think i'm back to semi-regular programming. i really do need to do good on my promise to write and make progress writing everyday because i also think it'll do me good.

i also have to remind myself that i am doing all this for passion and fun. sure, i spend time and effort on something that won't pay me (yet???????), but reading and creating stories has always been something that fills the cup in my heart. meeting amazing people who understand is really just the cherry on top.

so again, another reminder that right now, i am doing this for the pure sake of making art and stories to also make me happy. it's hard not to feel pressure amongst amazing writers on here, but i came across this great quote that i believe can help not just me, but also others: "write as if no one will read it."

so yeah tldr; hi life is just crazy but im still here! and i will post smthn soon! now back to writing hehe see y'all 🫶

What are your headcanons about Filbrick, Caryn and Shermie Pines in Morden AU?

Personally, I'll just go into how I percieve every character because I don't want what happened last time to repeat.

Filbrick Elmer Pines:

He comes from a money-centric family, hence his greed

A spoilt kid, somehow carried that sense of entitlement to adulthood

Often charged with crimes related to fraud or petty thievery, he's a kleptomaniac and a damn good actor

A year older(give or take) than Caryn

Has a short temper and a "It's my way or the highway" mentality

Very traditional and conservative in his views and values

Doesn't believe in mental health, LGBTQIA+, lowkey racist

Thinks the internet will rot your brain to the core

Is used to fooling around with girls from his teenage years until present day, he's just stuck with Caryn due to circumstance

Is actually quite well off for his age, not scrooge-mcduck but he could live comfortably on his own

He doesn't spend lavishly, thinking that if something isn't necessary then he doesn't need to pay for it

He did put education in the highest priority however, and he was the one who shoved Shermie and consequently Ford into that mold of straight-A star student

Was the one paying for his sons' tuition and extracurriculars since he was the one who preached it would be beneficial for them to know all these things and have all these experiences

Sees kids as investments that parents make; that notion has not changed

Has absolutely no faith in Stan, kind of like canon

Legally divorced from Caryn ever since the twins went to university

Had been partially living apart from his family midway through the twins' highschool years

All in all, he's an old foggie that didn't get reality checked fast enough so he's a piece of work even at his age.

Caryn Romanoff Pines:

Was a mom fresh out of highschool thanks to Filbrick

She wasn't ever forced to have the kids, despite the circumstances she knew she would love them regardless

Motherhood was instinctive and she embraced it with open arms(this is not the case for all/many people)

Wasn't able to continue her education because of family pressure

A spitfire through and through; Stan got his sass from her

Had to teach herself a lot of things up until present day

She wasn't able to land any work in the beginning years and was unfortunately a full-time housewife when she wasn't really intending to be

Pretty much raised her three sons on her own, all Filbrick did was yell and traumatize them

She didn't divorce her husband while her sons were still children in the eyes of the law because the legal battles would've been hell on earth

She knew working hard could make a somebody out of nobody so when Stan was constantly being compared or seen as inferior to his brother, she didn't let it fester and sit

Anything her kids wanted to do, she would encourage it despite constantly fighting with her husband over some decisions

That encouraging strict mom you could still dub as a best friend

Once threw herself in front of a car to protect Shermie, she still has a scar on her forehead from the incident

Present day she lives in her parents' big home and works as a corporate secretary in the office; she basically runs the place and people respect her dilligence and ethic

Is the one paying for Stan and Ford's college tuition but isn't struggling to do it, by now she is comfortable and stable with her finances and it helps that both twins have partial scholarships

That one cool mom who could dish as much as she takes, and is often the best friend of many in her neighborhood. Also that one adult you could likely spill gossip with because she doesn't snitch LOL

Shermie Pines:

He's eight years older than the Stan twins in the modern AU

Was an accidental baby but loves his mother dearly

Always fighting with Filbrick to defend Stan and Ford

Never did agree with the gloves thing Ford had to go through, he felt it was an unnecessarily vain decision

Was worked into the ground to excel in academics and ended up graduating high school a year early

Varsity in the badminton team, his knees aren't in the greatest state present day because of the relentless training he went through in his younger years

Takes his role as his brothers' guardian very seriously but left the house when he started university, he hasn't returned to the original family home since then

Has been going steady with a girl he met in college, they have plans on getting married soon

He has introduced this girl to his mom, she's so proud of her boy

Travels around for work as a freelance photographer, it used to be a hobby but is now his career path thanks to the boom of the internet and he is genuinely just really good at taking pictures

Currently he resides in New Orleans, Louisiana but has plans to move to Piedmont, California to be closer to his brothers

Facetimes them regularly to check in on them, it's almost like he mothers them just as bad if not worse than their actual mother

Has a strong sense of justice and was the biggest supporter Caryn had through and after her divorce

Much like Ford, he refers to Filbrick as a "gene donor" or outright ignores Filbrick's presence in the family tree as a whole

In this AU, he's not the grandfather to the niblings but instead just their father

He has an insane lego collection and he's very proud of it

Stan and Ford make jokes about his oldness and he always returns the favor by pointing out how painfully gen z brainrot they are

Is aware that by sheer talent, Stan and Ford surpass him by leaps and bounds; but he does his best to work as somebody they can be proud of anyway

Is the source of the many hand-me-downs the twins get

Isn't any less chaotic than his brothers, but he's more mellowed out than them because adulting is freaking exhausting

All in all, Shermie had to 3rd parent his brothers but it just made him closer to them. He's chill and navigating the paths of adulting but isn't having too much trouble.

I hope this answers your question :D

Would love to ask opinion on the incredibly named Anger Murderer

Well okay I'll try my best :)

I would not really have considered them as a pairing if it wasn't for these fics by one of my fave tennis rpf writers, @halotolerant, who has since moved on to other fandoms (come back pretty please? but if Andy coaching Novak hasn't brought you back yet...)

Okay, reasons to ship/write Andy + Roger

both incredibly silly guys in different ways who somehow manage to come across as serious most of the time, but don't let that fool you. they are very silly and they both enjoy being silly

out of the big 4, Roger maybe got along with Andy the quickest for some reason - it took him a while to warm up to Rafa and we all know how it went with Novak, but he never seemed to have an issue with Andy at all. just with the way he played his tennis sometimes. and you know, interesting that Roger went "he's a nice guy!" so quickly when Rafa and Novak were both fawning over him and Andy wasn't. Andy respected him, sure, but wasn't half as adoring as the other two

speaking of tennis, Andy was the ONLY player besides Rafa who beat Roger during his 2006 season, which was Andy's first full year on tour (he turned pro in 2005 but was injured for several months); their head to head was pretty even for quite a few years until Roger clawed it back. Andy lost his first ATP final and first Slam final to Roger (badly) as well as his first Wimbledon final (he cried after that one and said in interviews afterwards that this was the moment where he thought he might never win a Slam), and then did the most badass thing imaginable and took his revenge by winning the one thing that was missing for Roger and would remain elusive, i.e. the Olympic gold against him on the same court only a few weeks later. in straigth sets (3 of them, because at the time the Olympics final was bo5)

when it comes to tennis gamestyles, Roger, who, as we know isn't the biggest fan of baseline tennis, seemed to be a bit disappointed somehow that Andy didn't play more aggressively and made comments about it now and then

Andy's defensive tennis had the potential to irritate Roger enormously, especially when Andy kept running down every ball. This came to a head when, at AO 2013 Roger seemed to curse out Andy during a tense semifinal. His reaction when asked about it afterwards: "We were just checking each other out for bit." Okay, Rog

in recent years, they went to dinner before Laver Cup 2022 (with Bjorn Borg third-wheeling along. Andy joked about both of them ordering the most expensive things on the menu when they realised he was paying) and Roger watched Andy play at Wimbledon 2023 (Andy joked about how nice it was to see Roger supporting him bc the last time Roger had watched him play on that court was during the 2012 Olympics when Roger was in Stan's box. but let's not unpack that now) and he was around before Andy's on-court farewell at Wimbledon this year too (just not on court because they had moved it to a different day when Andy pulled out of singles and Roger already had plans :-P) When asked about Andy still playing after all the injuries, Roger called him "a special man"

Let me end with this full quote from AO 2010: "We've had some very different type of matches where we try to jerk around each other... er... you know, around the court, or just loop the ball in or play really agressive. So i think it's very tactical always against him [smiles]. From my side, I'll play very agressive, Andy, if you're listening [laughs]. I'll come in on your backhand, you'll pass me, I'll dropshot you, you'll lob me, I'll hit it through the legs... something like that."

[hcgossips]

He always invested in dubious PR stunts, in the paps' presence in his "private" public appearances so as to have pictures taken that were, later, used in self promo to generate gossip and rumors and to induce you to see him as a person of the media's interest and to pump algorithms.

His team always fed fan pages maintained by them and cheap tabloids with information so they would write articles and more articles about him to make him the subject on social media. A photographer is always part of his team. His management pays illustrators to, once in a while, create an art with his image.

He always spent a lot on self promotion and induced publicity. Each and every two years (or so), he goes on a PR stunt faking a date that, later, leads to nothing, only gossip on social media. Now, he has it. It's probably not the publicity he wanted, but a reaction to boost his image, to increase his bots and algorithms, and to make him the constant subject on the internet.

He always made sure to expose his body as a sex symbol, his staged private life, his fake girlfriends, all for the spotlight. He always wanted to be the subject. Well, now he is. But, all of a sudden, when he has what he always wanted, he's silent, hiding from social media. And, now, stans think all this publicity should go away just by snapping fingers.

Henry Cavill should be loving all that attention, but he obviously isn't, for things didn't go the way he expected. And, of course, now, the image spotted of him changed drastically due to so much unnecessary and excessive exposure, as well as to his PR rep and a new look drastically and quickly arranged by his team, which contrasts to the image he had up to recently. His management is lost and totally messed up with his PR stunt and image.

First, when choosing PR stunts for him to escort with no criteria. Later, by mocking fans' perceptions to make them doubt the obvious, to disguise their huge mistake. It didn't matter what they did. All they managed was to destroy his image and integrity.

From all this shenanigan, one of the things that called my attention was that DG never addressed a single speech about this. The only time she showed to manifest something was when she was accused of being racist and this got her nerve. So, it led me to suppose she passed the ball of this management to some other player and/or was caught by surprise with the strategies adopted in this PR stunt.

They all preferred silence as guilt, instead of just clarifying the misunderstandings. They seemed to, somehow, want the misunderstandings. Natalie, since the beginning of this circus, seemed to mock Hollywood and PR stunts, always "imitating" or copying others' fate or ideas as details of her own PR stunt with Henry, as if this was supposed to be a joke from the start.

And, now, it seems, whatever this was, it's over. His fan pages fed and kept by his team are posting prior, but recent photos and videos of the recent movies, such as Argylle, as saying it wasn't possible for those to have a proper promo, because this shenanigan with Natalie Viscuso prevented it from happening.

Natalie Viscuso, all you managed to gain was to be the representation of evil and bad luck, while thrown under the bus to be exposed to public execration. Nothing good can be attached to your name. But, I suppose the money they paid you to save Henry's ass was worth it. How are you going to spend it?
