For a cunty request can I have a time traveler reader with any of mafia? Maybe Vico or Tommy?
A/N: oh this is going to be hilarious! Thank you for requestingâŚstay cuntyđ⨠(hopefully I did your idea some justice. I didnât entirely know what scenario you wanted so just some general thoughts)
Warnings: â ď¸a little bit of Joe Barbaro â ď¸
Masterlist
Requests: open 24/7
Iâve chosen Vito because have you ever seen those memes where itâs like, âa victorian child would probably have an aneurysm over thisâ, yeahâŚthat would be Tommy if you appeared in his timeline
Like that man is stressed the hell out enough! Donât go ruining his life further with your shenanigans.
Besides Vito would definitely take this far better than anyone else with the exception of the characters from mafia iii. My brother has been to prison, shipped out to war, and now suddenly in the mobâŚheâs definitely seen some unspeakable shit..
Every soldier has at least one paranormal experienceâŚfor him it just happened to be your dumb ass.
Heâs not amused by you in the slightest at first..what the fuck is an iPhone and why are you dressed like an idiot? Are you high on something or just unwell?????
âLook Lady, I really donât have time for this shit and I have places to be. If you need something thereâs a Salvation Army right down the block..â
Of course you keep persisting that youâre perfectly fine and that youâre actually from the future. I can just imagine Vito speed walking away with an exasperated expression plastered across his face; you're just continuing to spew nonsense as you follow him.
âI-I donât want to hear you talk about your fucking bullshit future! Please just go away.â
This manâs blood pressure is through the roof at this point. Heâs even trying to physically shoo you away, if it wasnât for his background he wouldâve taken you to the police department.
âOkay do you want a dollar? Huh, will that make you finally stop yapping?? Actually, here take 20 and go away.â
Eventually he just gives up. Youâre the most hard headed individual heâs ever encountered and he letâs you follow him. Youâre obviously not giving this up.
Partly thinks this is some kind of prank Joe set up to get back at him.
So naturally his first instinct is go go find Joe because if he has to hear the crazy shit youâre spewing, so does he.
Worst. Mistake. Ever.
At first Joe is also trying to get you to leave his buddy alone. Even offering you money just like Vito did earlier but then a light bulb goes off!
Joeâs main mission in life is to piss off Vito and for himâŚgolden opportunity right here for free.
âSoooâŚY/N was it? Tell me, if you are from the future, will Vito always be this fugly?â
âOh shut the hell up for once would ya? This is a serious situation we have on our hands and you think this is the time to be making jokes??â
âMaybe not fugly but he will end up being a grumpy old man with no wife or kids.â
Joe absolutely loves you and youâre now besties
âOohhhh no. You two will not be in cahoots!! Joe stop fucking around.â
Donât worry, Vito eventually comes around to you. He kind of has to now that Joe is riding this thing so hard.
Neither one of them truly believes you though. At least not at first. Itâs kind of difficult to prove until the event youâre warning them about actually comes to pass.
You are able to tell them extremely detailed facts and information about themselves and the mafia. You warn them about Henry and give tips about different tasks.
This made them suspicious of you and blew you off as some kind of narc for knowing so damn much. It wasnât until things started becoming true, they came running right back to you.
Theyâre both feeling a mixture of excitement, concern and confusion.
Joe doesnât understand that you only know main historical events and wants you to give him the winning numbers to the lottery.
Vito on the other hand thinks youâre some sort of crazy psychic or maybe one of them aliens from the film he had just seen.
Either way youâre definitely not from here.
Ultimately Vito doesnât entirely know how to handle all of this. I donât think anyone would ever be able to fully process this happening. After all youâve predicted and protected him from, he just accepts that youâre who you say you are.
Youâre not a threat to him and Joe seems to really enjoy having you around so I guess he doesnât really mind you either. He lets you stay at his place too. Itâs the least he could do after all your help and the shit he gave.
At least youâre not as bad as that kid, Marty.

Iâm not sure about what to suggest for your 1,000 milestone, but I want to say congratulations!!
Iâm rewatching Tim Burton Batman Movies and I thought to myself, what about JJBA as a Batman AU? (But maybe different versions of Batman besides Tim Burton to give more flavor and depth)
Jonathan, Joseph and Jotaro are Batman (They all fit as Batman and I honestly couldnât pick one) and theyâre siblings
Jonathan is 28, Joseph is 26 and Jotaro is 24 (Heâs in college)
Jonathan - He donates to charity and holds charity balls to help the less fortunate while working with his pal Speedwagon to make the streets better (Heâs the eldest and handles the Joestar Family Company)
Joseph - The Playboy of the brothers and flirts with different women, he hangs out with his friend Caesar a detective, heâll get serious under the mask but will mostly stay behind to keep appearances with the Public
Jotaro - The stoic and serious one of the three and is currently the only one whoâs still doing school (Heâs the youngest) and is friends with Kakyoin whoâs an Art Major at the University they go to
Giorno, Josuke and Jolyne can fit as the Robins and Batgirl (I refuse to see how this wouldnât work) but theyâre mainly young teenagers to kid (Josuke
Iâm still working on the Villainsâ list but this is what I have so far
Dio/DIO - Joker (But he knows how to stay in the Shadows and hide) and his partner is Pucci whoâs his Harley Quinn (I actually keep forgetting Dio is canonically Bisexual đ)
Kars - Poison Ivy and Raâs la Ghul (It was the earth that birthed him) and has no problem killing millions, half or all of Humanity for the planet (He also looks very cunty already)
Wammu - Bane (This works because he âbreaksâ the Bat *Joseph*) but heâs intelligent and not an idiot (I actually rage whenever thereâs versions of Bane that are unintelligent) he still has a code of honor in battle or course
Diavolo/Doppio - Two-Face (Doppio being a lawyer does sound interesting to me, but heâs seen as a joke by his fellow lawyers because heâs clumsy and timid, until his accident) Doppio and Diavolo share the same body, with one side of their Face Doppio and the other a disfigured Diavolo (Because Diavolo is the evil one) and now theyâre the most dangerous Mobster out there with Passione
Darling is either a Therapist who works at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane (No she will not become Harley Quinn) or a Reporter and Photographer who thinks the Caped Crusaders are Heroes to her City instead of Threats (Sheâll work with Caesar as his partner)
Thereâs more but Iâm trying to figure out who fits where and itâs actually very fun for this AU
Ooh batman, I do love the Tim Burton adaptation, his style in my opinion really gives Gotham a stand out feel. Big fan of Tim Burton's older works. Though I do feel his modern works have lost the German impressionist roots that really drew me into his work (can you tell that I did a Tim Burton analysis for a whole semester in art class?)
Darling is a psychologist that works at the asylum and knows all three Joestars. She's very bold and speaks her mind. Both complimenting and criticizing those she speaks to.
Jonathan visits the asylum often as he wants to help reform the justice system and as one of their biggest funders it's his right to know how they are conducting their operations as well as a secret second thing...
He usually offers darling invitations to any galas as she's a huge help to him.
Joesph is a university friend of hers, they both studied criminology. Though it was Joesph's major. He has tried to ask her out but due to his playboy status she is quick to remind him that they maybe close but she doesn't believe he's serious about a relationship. (At most it'd be a secret friend's with benefits relationship)
Jotaro like his brother also chose criminology, though his major is Marine ecology. Occasionally daling comes in to help her former teacher as a guest presenter and perhaps through her was able to get an internship at the asylum.
He probably ends up going through and copying all her work files to share with the other two.
She's at this point the only one equipped enough to deal with the high risk inmates. Of course they all have specialized cells to keep them in.
Dio was adopted into the Joestar family at the age of 12 and was set to be another successful member of the Joestar family before George's death. He was found guilty of murdering him as well as planning to kill Jonathan so he could get his hands on the inheritance. Of course in the asylum he tries to gain the empathy of others with half truths. Doesn't work on darling, it's technically a conflict of interest due to her association with the Joestars but she's the only one who can work with him. She knows the other side of the story. She also knows Jonathan also visits him during his inspections and is trying his best to reason with Dio.
As she puts it
"You were set for success, you had the money, the intellect and the looks but like Icarus you flew to close to the sun"
He likes the challenge darling presents, most would have fallen head over heels for him. He just wants to get in that pretty little head of hers. He's already planned his escape with the asylum priest Pucci, who he's already charmed.
Kars was prolific scientist in the bio engineering field before his DNA was was spliced with an unknown material. He's gone mad, claims he's the apex being and that humans are destroying the natural order.
She doesn't really get anywhere with him at first. But when Wammu and Saitana (who I imagine could be clayface) got incarcerated, darling finds out they're cousins. Kars actually cared for them when they were younger but they became estranged as adults due to their careers. She brings it up and it strikes a cord. Gets him to finally start talking. He realizes that darling is a good person, just very misguided in his eyes. Perhaps he could get her to realize the truth.
Wammu was an athlete, always pushed his body to the limits and so when his body began to fail him he began relying on steroids to keep him competing. Eventually that was not enough and he underwent a experimental treatment that worked a little too well. He needs to be in a mostly metal cell in the basement as he could've easily punched through a brick wall. Even now he seems to only be getting stronger, soon steel won't be enough. The staff decide to sedate him to keep him in check. Even a specialized diet to avoid anymore muscle development.
Despite being sedated he's still awake just not entirely there. Darling does still visit him and talks. She also informs him that Kars is there and relays conversations between the two as it's giving her a lot of insight.
Doppio's life was changed when the priest who adopted him was murdered and home was set on fire. He wanted to become a lawyer to bring justice to those who who ruined the lives of the less fortunate. Little did he know the one who had ruined his was himself.
No one really took him seriously, he seemed way to soft to be in that position. Even though he was the top of his classes at university. He is hopelessly clumsy, dropping documents or tripping over himself. However during one trial he was able to put a major crime lord behind bars and it felt like he was finally getting somewhere... until one of his subordinates caught him and pushed half his face into acid.
That was when he became aware of his other, darker half. Who managed to break out of his binds and kill the perpetrator. He was let go as it was self defense but Doppio was no longer the same, two people now fully aware of one another in a shared body.
After a string of crimes he was brought in and darling was assigned to him.
Doppio is very understanding and soft spoken, and thus darling offers him the same. He knows why and has no objections to being imprisoned.
Diavolo is more cold but is prone to outbursts. Doppio is always his greatest concern and know that he has a crush on their cute psychologist and he promise him he'll get her, he promises.

Hello again!!!!
I don't really have much to say abt Mary bc you did like,, such a good job telling me everything that I could have asked about her! You do a great job with everyone that I HAVE asked about too but you get it (I hope lol)
Do you have any like,, thoughts on Lucius? :0 or Viktor!!!! Ik you mentioned him a little while ago :3 Idk seeing him with your interpretation of Igor Karkaroff is special to me idk
Byebye!!!! See you soon lol :D
- đ
Ahhhhh Iâm so glad you liked my little Mary rant!! I love chatting about the girls theyâre just all so mwah,,,
I have a handful of thoughts on Lucius!
His full name is Lucius Abraxas Malfoy and he was born September 8th 1953 (making him a Virgo) at Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England. Heâs the first born son of Abraxas Malfoy and only son of Luceille Malfoy nĂŠe Famelle (sheâs distantly related to the Flamels but as you can tell some stuff has gotten lost over the years hence the slight change in the last name!) and heâs the older half brother of Xenophilius. His mother died in childbirth and thus he never knew her and itâs given him a few issues ngl,,,
Abraxas remarried a few years after Luceilleâs death and thus Xenophilius became a thing. Hestia (Xenoâs mother) tried to step into the role of mum for Lucius but he never wanted any of that and he was lowkey mad at his dad for remarrying even if he never felt like he should let anyone know.
I think he and Narcissa fully adopted Severus as like their Hogwarts kid just like how Xenophilius and Pandora later do with Gilderoy lol (it clearly runs in the family). I donât usually base my headcanons off of the mobile game but thereâs hints in there that Lucius and Narcissaâs marriage was a love match and I 100% believe that. He gifted her a Malfoy brooch to welcome her into the family I believe when they were first engaged (which would have been at some point while she was still at school?? because she puts it in her keepsake box that she had with her sisters while they were all at school) and to tell her that she was worthy of becoming a Malfoy. I think he placed a lot of values on family which is why I also think itâs so funny that the family he does have heâs like ânope I donât wanna be related to that freak [points to Xeno]â lmaooo
I really love the fact that heâs a part of the school board. Like I donât think people talk about that enough actually. Also the Malfoy house being represented by (albino?) peacocks and him canonically having Malfoy manor decked out with rhinestones or diamond rims or something like that in the windowsill. Like heâs so cunty. And thatâs before weâve even touched on the obvious hair care routine and the cunty bow that he 100% match with Narcissa.
I honestly need to think about him more but I think heâs just,, so funny. Also imagining Severus running around in his cunty ass hand me downs is just??? I canât
As for Viktor!!!
I think heâs so fun. Like,, heâs actually so sweet and people can say what they want I donât even care. I think he was really sweet to Hermione at a time where she needed it and I think it would have been fun to see them when they were older as like a fun ass power couple with him being a professional quidditch player and her being minister for magic. Theyâd like,, theyâre so mwah to me.
I think it says a lot about how like,, lonely and isolated this kid was when the most important person to him was a girl heâd met a few months earlier. Like he didnât have a Durmstrang buddy and one could assume if he had siblings they werenât close and that just,, idk I feel bad for him. I like the idea of him striking up a friendship with Fleur and Cedric though despite them competing and all that
Similar like how I think Karkaroff is actually Karkarov I think Krum is likely Krumov (ĐŃŃПОв). Itâs even stated in his wiki that itâs likely that Krum is just like,, an Anglicisation of Krumov. Speaking of Igor, I think Igor was friends/familiar with Viktorâs uncle when he went to school. I donât have an explanation as to why he has decided to take Viktor under his wing in the way he has but I do think itâs kinda sweet. Me and a friend talked about this once but Igor would totally favour Viktor to the daughter he (in some universes) has with Charity and heâd be like âno no youâre imagining itâ meanwhile weâve seen how blatant his favouritism is lol
Now to the headcanon Iâve probably thought the most about lol,,, I think heâs got some sort of brain injury. This probably sounds a little damn okay but I think it makes sense. I think it makes sense with how much quidditch he plays. A lot of athletes have some sort of injury and considering how he went professional so early heâs undoubtedly played since he was young and I would not be surprised if he took a hit to the head a few times. I think this injury happened during his fourth-ish year (maybe during the summer when he was going extra hard on practicing at home or something??) and he took a Bludger to the frontal lobe and was knocked off of his broom.
I think he repeated a year because of this injury and having to recover (Iâm pretty sure his age doesnât line up with the rest of his supposed peers which is what Iâm basing this on but also itâs 9 am and Iâve not yet slept so I could be pulling this out of my ass so keep that in mind lol).
Heâs canonically noted as not being particularly intelligent (one of his canon nicknames is literally Dumb Krum) and I think this is in part because of this injury and the issues that followed him afterwards. I specifically think heâd had struggles with reading, both being slow at it and having poor reading comprehension as well as having a poor memory and being prone to confusion. (I also see him struggling with speech at times, perhaps some struggles with grip (which would be especially frustrating and something heâs working hard to overcome given his quidditch position) and since heâs noted as a bit of a klutz I wouldnât be surprised if he bumped into things a lot).
His Transfiguration spell during the second task in the tournament is not done properly. Even if human transfiguration is a more difficult kind of transfiguration I would assume that if heâs smart enough to cover the basics, Igor (given his own talents with the subject) would have made sure his favourite student had mastered it. Whether this is something he was able to do before his injury Iâm open to any takes on. Heâs mentioned as someone whoâs confident in his duelling skills but not necessarily good at duelling and even though Dark Arts are mentioned in his wiki itâs only in regards to things he did under the Imperius Curse
Also!!! Completely unrelated to me thinking heâs got a brain injury, I am a skinny twig looking Viktor Krum stan. I will always be mad we didnât get to see him like that in the movies because heâs quite literally described as Severus and Igorâs love child lmaoooo
Can you tell Iâve been waiting to talk about him?? Heâs like,, one of if not the only golden trio era character I care about lmao
I hope you enjoyed my little ramble cjfncjnfjc I saved my thoughts about these two for a bit to send something fun your way!!

PLEASE tell us more about your Crozcest interpretations of canon scenes omg 0w0
This reply has gotten SO fucking long, oh my god, Anon, what have you unleashed. (kidding, i love you, thank you so much for this ask <333333333)
Below are my thoughts and interpretations of canon scenes along with screencaps from the show. All the things below are speculation. No, these characters are not related whatsoever in the show. I made this AU up bc it's fun. Don't go into the soup store if you hate soup. Don't read this post if you hate blorbo incest. (though this post is very mild and mostly covers the basic family dynamic)
okAY OKAY, So!! Basically everything has to be viewed through a different lense, because well. they're family now! It changes Everything! So I might as well describe the whole show, but I guess for this post, I can start with ep 1...?
Overall
Technically Edward is better off, because he gets a higher position in the navy. He has influence, he has command, he can order men around as he likes as long as it's something a lieutenant can do. It's possible to think Francis likes him more because of this BUT!
Thomas gets to be way closer to Francis and is allowed to spend more time with him and has way less weight and expectations placed on his shoulders. Many of the tasks he has to do are controlled by Francis, are always the same and don't require much from him apart from physical labor. It's basically "I want to keep you as close as possible on this journey without burdening you too much or raising suspicions". That of course doesn't prevent Tom from working his ass off, but we'll get to that at some point.
Alternative first scene (Francis & Edward)
In one of the cuts, the first scene we get of Francis is with Edward (ignoring Blanky). And he's being all fatherly and friendly and touchy, which is actually adorable. All is well! I'm soft.
Despite everything, especially earlier into the journey, Francis doesn't dislike Edward all that much. When he's in a good mood, one could even say he loves him. Edward has been capable - he's a good lieutenant, when they're actually sailing and when he knows what to do. I'd say Francis is proud of him at least a bit at the start of the show, even though he wouldn't admit it.
(sorry for the shitty screencaps i only have this cut in 720p)
Then there's of course Edward's yay, daddy, hi! đĽ°đĽ° expression which is beyond adorable. I love him very much.
Alternative first scene #2 (Francis & Thomas)
In the bluray version (and netflix, too, i believe) Francis's first scene is with Thomas. Which in itself is crazy to me like. The fact they chose Jopson and Little specifically to accompany Francis in his first ever scenes!! Bonkers in the best way possible. (and also HIGHLY convinient for this AU reading lmaooo) Anyway.
Tom's cunty little head wiggle here is everything to me. When your dad goes on another rant abt how much he hates your auntie who comes over to visit once a month and you just have to endure it and nod along.
I think Francis is that sort of parent you've had to comfort when you were a kid. They'd pour their heart out to you about their problems (which you could do nothing about). And despite how small you were, you were expected to respond maturely and to not only bear your parent's tears, but to comfort them. This of course is an insane burden to give to a child, who WILL then feel responsible and WILL feel like they have to do something, yet can't. (Been there, felt that. Sorry Tom)
I think he has had to do that since he was young and that's why he's good at it now compared to Edward. He had time to practise and to learn to bear these sessions from Francis. Tom locks his own emotions up to let his father's flow over him. He might then release them somewhere else ehm ehm, Edward.
Overall terribly unhealthy, but very good angst material.
On a sillier note, Tom stop looking at him like that that's your father ffs-
2nd scene (Dinner on Terror)
Here's just a moment to appreciate this quick glance at Francis (and also how pretty Edward is)
Something something Edward being the one at a table, dining with his father and the officers while Thomas is the one serving them. Something something, useful youngest child, something something a-prize-to-show-to-others eldest child. Tickles my brain.
Also I can't help but imagine Edward looking over to Tom anytime his sleeves slide up a bit when he stretches out to pour them a glass like đ
Then Francis's moment of "can't believe you'd betray me like that, Edward". To look at Fitzjames with such admiration and interest and to ask questions while barely looking at Francis at all throughout the dinner must be so humbling lmao. (it drives him mad)
I think this is part of the reason why he then makes the Birdshit island comment. It's not 100% aimed at James, but at Edward also, although indirectly. "You think he's so great? Well I don't. And it disappoints me that you do."
Toxic parent Francis go woooooo.
Anyway, then there's this glance which Edward quickly ignores. "Are you hearing this shit?" "oh my god dad shut upppđ"
Trust (Erebus visit)
When the officers from Terror visit Erebus after she's injured, Edward stays behind, presumably to watch the ship and keep command while the rest of them are gone, which I think is a great show of trust on Francis's part. Francis, Blanky, Hodgson and Irving are all on Erebus... He's really quite alone and although it's for only a short while and they still feel safe, I think it's notable how much he trusts Edward.
Anyway.
Then there's a whole lot of nothing until the ice cutting scene which i JUST noticed btw aksndgkejf Hi Tommy. I don't think Francis would order him to do it. Rather, I choose to believe he volunteered.
He's always wanted to be stronger and better and to keep going and keep pushing and most importantly to be better than Edward. That's why I think he'd volunteer. Though it may have also been an ''everybody needs to help'' situation, where they were way too desperate to waste a pair of perfectly good hands.
Conclusion to ep 1
We mostly got Francis's POV in this episode, but that's okay. There will be time for the sons too.
Overall I think Francis likes both his sons, though in very different ways and the first ep is a great display of that. He may also be conflicted about the ways in which he shows this, but doesn't know how to do any better, so he just keeps at it. It gets worse as the show progresses, but I'd be getting ahead of myself with that.
Edward Francis wants to push through the stress and burdens of command so that he comes out of it better. Not only that, he trusts that Edward can manage it. That, I think is a really interesting part to their dynamic. The duality of "god, you can't do anything right" and "you can manage this" (eldest daughter syndrome if i ever seen one)
Meanwhile he made Thomas a steward. He had been Francis's steward before, so he may have taken a liking to it and maybe asked his father to give him that position again. Also Francis wants to shelter him more than Ned - wants to keep him close. He's the last thing his wife gave to him before she died, so he cherishes Tom like treasure.
The first episode was for introducing characters, of course, and to set it all up, so there isn't much open conflict or relationship evolution between them Yet. That will change, though. I'm already excited to do the next episode.
I will be writing some of this into the actual fic, but I'm far from that yet, so I might as well make this post my starting point.
Um. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk đđ
#a lot of this works for the reading of the canon show itself - without the incest#it's what i based this AU upon afterall so it's bound to be similar really.#but uhh#yeah thank you so much for this ask i love talking about all the way in which they are all fucked up <333#francis crozier#edward little#thomas jopson#crozcest#the terror

Hello there, Iâm in genuine need of more fandom / online friends so like, if you also want more friends, hereâs some info about me and maybe we can be friends? <3
My names Jay, Iâve recently picked it for myself (and then realised I could have possibly had an even cooler name Bo which is the shortened of my middle name and now im cursing myself for not realising it sooner and questioning weather or not to do a switch cause idk if Bo or Jay suits me better?!!). Iâm 20 and FtM, and I go by he/they pronouns primarily but I also donât mind if you use any others :)
Iâm also Australian so yeah idk if thatâs a selling point or not
Oh and Iâm labelled as queer, I guess, but dude sexuality is confusing. Iâve recently been going down the aromantic / asexual spiral of questioning but Iâm so unsure of everything I really suck at telling the difference between platonic and romantic feelings. Iâm also somewhere in the sapphic spectrum I believe. So if you can relate to this mindfuck in any way that would also be rad.
I write fan fic for the Marauders Fandom (sirius is my everything and Iâm also a tall sirius truther) and also Stranger Things but primarily Steddie for that tbh.
Iâm also in the Good Omens fandom, as well as a few others more casually and donât write fic for them :) recently Iâve been starting to watch JJK cause my best friend is really into it
My favorite two movies of all time are Rocky Horror Picture Show and Cars. That probably tells you a lot about me to be honest so do with that as you will :)
My favorite musicians are David Bowie at No. 1 (my lord and saviour), Maya Hawke, Hozier, Radiohead (im not a red flag I promise), Conan (Iâm seeing him on fri wtf), ooo and Iâll add SOAD cause Iâm really into them this month. But itâs ever changing really and there are too many to choose from, Iâd say theyâre my most listened to though :) I am chronically listening.
Uh Iâm gonna spitball some more facts about me this is kinda hard:
Iâm the eldest of 4 kids đ one of them is 5 years younger than me đđ the other two are 6 years younger đđđ (I love them sm the annoying shitstarters)
I love to draw and make art but I suck at anatomy and colour theory it makes me want to rip my hair out (and I wanna be a fan artist so bad)
Iâm attempting to learn bass but I also cannot commit to learning the bass (I blame my sibling for keeping it in their wardrobe so I forgoet it exists)
I am 90% sure Iâm neurodivergent I just cannot really afford to get that diagnosis rn ya know?!
I did ballet & dance most of my life đ¤Żđ¤Ż (now Iâm a bartender and my old ballet teacher is a regular at the sailing club I work and now I look queer and cunty as hell and every time she sees me she just stares in disbelief and fake smiles itâs hilarious)
I still sleep with my childhood teddy :( I love her she is my one thing I would save in a fire. Her name is charlotte and sheâs probably 3 years overdue for a bath but I love her
Iâm fucking weird about stars - the shape not the astrology - like I love them. I see them and I get very excited and I draw them everywhere (you can probably tell off all my master lists, they all have stars drawn on the title strips đ) I just really love them theyâre so cute. I almost named myself Star actually
Iâm a sagittarius. I donât know what that means but I know it means a lot of things to people so hopefully itâs good things!
My favorite colour is green but more so earthy and cool greens. I love a good scrumptious yummy green, something mossy something sagey. I have a green wall in my room and itâs very nice to look at.
I lived abroad for a little bit as a teen in Vietnam which was amazing and Iâm planning to move somewhere abroad again next year hopefully (seriously get me the hell out of SA)
My biggest dream / goal / career choice for most of my life was to be an actor but now Iâm just kinda existing with no real drive or purpose in life. But I might pick acting back up now Iâm becoming more comfy with myself and my gender :) my dream role is to play Frank from Rocky.
Uuuuuh thatâs all I can think of :)
So yes, I hope I have appealed to your interests in one way or another. And if youâd maybe like to be friends please donât hesitate to send me a message!
Maybe tell me a cool fact about yourself?
Or if youâre too shy to message first you could just add a random comment here or say something in the tags? Iâll message you! <3
Also if you have anymore questions I am trying to be a bit more of an open book, I love when people dive in with the nitty gritty so if you have strange questions Iâll probably be very excited to answer them lmao
Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day random people in my phone I hope to befriend <333

hello followers (all 7 of you), i just need to tell yall about the coolest lady i know
she's a friend of my parents from a church i grew up in and therefore a friend of mine and she was a core part of the group of adults who made sure my sisters and i grew up to be a little weird
things that make her the coolest include but are not limited to:
works at the history museum
has never married or had kids (at one point she had a boyfriend who her friend group deemed a loser but didn't say anything to her bc he made her happy) (this was very helpful for combating the mindset of girls must get married and produce children in order to be good at being a girl)
has had really short hair for as long as i've known her (which is a very long time) that she dyed bright blue one time (after going grey, she figured if she doesn't have to bleach it, why not?)
knows how to knit and crochet (one time over a decade ago she knit a dress onto one of our barbies that was just sitting around and that barbie is still wearing her (lowkey cunty) knitted turtleneck dress)
is only allergic to groundhogs (has never encountered a groundhog in her life and still doesn't know why that was included on her standard allergy panel)
is a big believer in "never stop learning" (currently learning to weave)
used to collect plastic lizards on her dashboard and whenever a child would bring her a lizard to display they got to name it
runs summer workshops at the history museum for kids to get more interested in history
has really in-depth opinions on obscure things that you wouldn't think someone had an opinion on but once you learn she has an opinion on it it makes perfect sense for her to have an opinion on it (and her opinions are really interesting) (her opinions on nancy drew are actually really cool)
knows a lot about the history of barbie
makes a lot of her clothes
can answer basically any crafting question you have, and if she can't fully answer it, she knows someone who can
is a great conversationalist
has incredible stories
was happy to become pen pals with my cousin who likes knitting (i introduced them at my wedding)
knits things for children if asked (she used to come over to our house to do laundry when i was a kid and always seemed to be working on something for her godchildren)
insists on only ever having a vintage mechanical sewing machine that she's learning to fix herself bc apparently repair places are slowly stopping working on non-digital ones (you'd think mechanical ones would be easier to fix than digital), and
is very fast at snapping green beans

Post Succ Sunday thoughts [spoilers]
- Greg is somehow even more insufferable and I need more people to humble him QUICKLY (shoutout frank and roman love yall fr)
- Double-edged sword bc I wanted Marcia to come back but something about this episode was more depressing than cunty idk it doesnât have the same biteÂ
- Gerri looks great and she has never done anything wrong ever
- Yay Stewyâs back
- I knew they were coming but the âshit show at the fuck factoryâ parallels are not being kind to me
- Kerry needs to be so fr like girl you are not special
- Business!Ken is my least favorite Ken and heâs about to fuck some shit up (derogatory) frank literally warned him but his ego got in the way. I hate it here
- shiv can have some feminine rage, as a treat**
 **burn everything to the ground
-Willa looked great, partial slay
I like Willa more than tom and greg bc she gets on with the family more smoothly like she naturally has the sass that the kids have and its not forced or pompous in the way tomgreg does itÂ
adding on i canât believe the shiv pregnancy crack theory was real why would you do that to me jesse armstrong
adding on again iâm thinking about stewys line something something âiâm for whoever winsâ like does he actually want ken or is it a power move whoâs to sayÂ

actually (adjusts glasses like a nerd) I went on a whole rant on my story about who shiver would be if they were a saw character and it would be Amanda. This post was more like lol let's put Splatoon into saw but if we're talking serious shiver would be Amanda. Here is my rant about Splatoon saw au guys
SAWTOON RANT (this is pulled from me info dumping about it to someone in dms)
"ok zo basically first for shiver idk if you saw my random ass take on my story but shiver would definitely be Amanda no doubt about it tldr they both are absolutely dripping with cunt (in both ways) give cunt, are cunts. Shiver would definitely seal the exit shut to an already impossible rigged trap with a freaking nail pipe bomb in it because she is beefing. Also because I thought about it more cause shiver literally represents the bird of greed when it comes to the three poisons of Buddhism ( title of solo splatfest themes being "anarchy poisons" and her theme is the 'bird mix' this also shows with past splatfests and her reaction in big betrayal onky caring ab the money and the guilt tripping is also fucking hilarious another instance of cunt behaviour shes such a cuuuuuuunt) i feel like this could tie in so beautifully with as to why shiver would be amanda just cant think of why righg now maybe something to do with beefing with jigsaw's (which is frye) ideology having power over These literally helpless victims that she rigs the traps too because of her even more fucked ideology that people can't change the greed or power part can be why she keeps digging the traps while also believing people are unable to change which is funny cause she's such a fucking cunt frye would be jigsaw because case and point. Amanda being John kramers apprentice, John is kind of like father figure to Amanda but in this situation it would be like buddies that bump heads alot and they look out for each other cause jigsaw and Amanda look out for each other (gru voice) uretha peep this
LOOKING AFTER ECAJORHWR. But in this case in a fucked up way because that scene were Amanda is sh-ing and it's revealed that jigsaw is looking after her and is like don't do that and throw s her in another trap LOL unless my memory is fucked and something else happens đđ also because since like frye represents the snake of anger the shit about the medical malpractice could probably get turned into a different motivation in Frye's case and becomes jigsaw out of anger and revenge me thinks also because frye is funny as fuck and jigsaw is really funny to me like this old senile fuck and billy could be one of her silly eels/ puppet made to look like her eel :33 but I was also thinking Callie could be Amanda Marie Hoffman and Captain cuttle fish would be jigsaw because lole. But that is so predictable but also it would've been funny as fuck cause octavio would've been jill and they would've been toxic yaoi cause but I feel like shiver and frye makes more sense because Marie would still be Hoffman and Callie would be strahm since they're beefing like freaking crazy and Hoffman escapes the dick crusher trap while strahm fucking dies dead it just reminds me how Callie and Marie would beef in splat one fuckin. Callie calling Marie grandma and Marie just being another top ten cunty characters ever and this is perfect since Hoffman is like stupid boy cunt cause THE.N we got the top two cuntiest Splatoon characters taking up the roles of jigsaws apprentices and are rivals and now that might be like well shouldn't Marie be jigsaw she's the boss IDGAF ABOUT STORY MODE RN THIS MAKES MORE SENSE THEYRE BOTH CUNTS. legit having trouble with pearl and marina though cuz like idk I said Lawrence and Adam but like that wouldn't make sense tbh maybe agent 3/cap3 would be Lawrence and Adam agent 4 because it would just be funny as fuck/intresting mainly I thought pearl and marina wouldn't be Lawrence and Adam because of the wife and kids at home cheating situation like NUH UH marina is married with pearl canon. also another reason why frye would be jigsaw is cause Zelda splatfest she was team wisdom and jigsaw has wisdom but fucked and spreads if in a super fucked up way by teaching a lesson except his ideology is really fucked LMFAO"
RANT OVER
also I'm in the process of drawing an Amanda shiver PFP for myself and idk if I posted this before but frye jigsaw would do this. (It's a video I can't add it rn I'll ad it in a bit tho) thanks for listening to my rant
lol saw Splatoon Collab w irl. Chainshipping but frye and shiver and bigman is jigsaw
#saw#saw au#splatoon au#sawtoon#sawtoon au#shiver#frye#amanda young#john kramer#mark hoffman#peter strahm#shiver hohojiro#frye onaga#jigsaw#dj octavio#callie splatoon#marie splatoon#billy the puppet#saw 2004#au#horror au

What your favorite haikyuu team says about you:
Inarizaki: you are most likely the goofy friend and you give off cunty bad bitch energy, I donât make the rules. You probably have really great fashion taste and lean more towards edgier styles and street wear. Youâre often blunt and unafraid to say it how it is, you might have a bit of an attitude problem. You simp for every member of the team with no shame sheâs for everybody everybody everybody. You are a no-nonsense type of person and you are a perfectionist. you also have a fucking FAT ass. that ass is FAT. you stay up super late talking in the groupchat, and youâre the one whoâs always roasting or cracking jokes. however, you canât take the heat when someone roasts you lmao. even though it may seem like you have a rough exterior, you are actually really soft inside and insecure about your emotions often.Â
Nekoma: please let me be friends with you, you are such a sweet person!! you probably smell like vanilla or something fruity. you always have this dilemma where you want to dress both edgy and feminine, and you kind of do both. you most likely root for the underdog, and youâre the type of friend who would do anything for their friends. loyal af! youâre also probably that person with the bad rbf but are also literally the nicest most approachable person once people get to know you! however once someone crosses you or lies to you, thereâs no coming back, you can never put your trust in that person again. very giving, but at the same time, you are cut throat when you need to be. you prefer gold over silver.Â
Fukurodani: you were probably a bookworm in middle school and now you canât read five fucking sentences without your brain short-circuiting. youâre the friend at sleepovers who either is the last to fall asleep or youâre the one that wakes up hours before everyone else and you just lay there. You probably dress in darker colors and possibly streetwear, and appreciate dark academia aesthetics. your cooking and baking skills are probably really good, please cook for me!!! you most likely believe in astrology and manifestation and youâre the friend that has to explain all of these things to your friend group. Your taste is immaculate, oh and also youâre fucking hilarious without even trying!
Karasuno: if Karasuno is your favorite team, youâre basic and boring. kidding, jokes! you love warm summer nights, fireflies, and long drives at night. youâre most likely the friend that everyone can rely on and trust in your friend group, you are so wholesome!! however you go from 0 to 10000 real fast. your ideal date night is either a cozy night in watching a movie or going out clubbing, no in between. you probably grew up playing a sport that you were really passionate about and the mems hold a special place in your heart. you talk a lot of shit online but would never actually fight someone in person lol. you are also super into skin care and perfecting skin care routines, and your bathroom is just filled with half-used products.Â
Shiratorizawa: BADDIE ALERT!!! you have fucking taste period. kinda similar to Inarizakiâs description, but you donât have the attitude problem. popular with your friends, and extremely witty and funny. youâre probably very up to date with memes and tiktoks, you expect your friends to keep up when you send them 20 tiktoks at a time. you enjoy art a lot, and your ideal date is probably at a museum, art exhibit, or at a festival of some sort. you also like amusement parks. like Inarizaki, you simp for everyone on Shiratorizawa simply put. you enjoy doing your hair and makeup, as well as otherâs. you believe in karma and you see the glass half-full. you probably have a size or hand kink too lmaoo
Aoba Johsai: if seijoh is your fav team, you are an absolute bitch for pretty men i hate to say it. you are a whore for cafe/study dates, and you live off coffee. your sense of humor is highly developed and only a select few know what youâre saying at times, but in general youâre pretty funny. you most likely are a perfectionist, and are highly skilled within at least one field of work. you probably really love kids and daydream about starting a family after becoming successful, and youâre ambitious as hell! you stay up late and have a fucked up sleep schedule. you prefer to be in charge of all aspects of your life, and if you lose control it really fucks you up. you are the life of the party, and when you walk into the room, heads always turn.Â

Omg, I can't stand that account either! I used to follow them because when I noticed them, they were talking about danmei fandoms needing to be more open to criticism and stuff, which I really felt hard, lol. But the longer I followed, the more I realized how baffling their takes are, especially on Hua Cheng??? I remember there was a tweet once talking about Hua Cheng being sweet to Guzi in that one butterfly scene and this person jumped in, "Note how Hua Cheng calls himself a bad person and Xie Lian doesn't disagree!"
Ever since, I've been really confused because I thought HC being evil/bad is like. A fandom joke? Irony, given the novel's themes? But some ppl actually genuinely believe he is?? Like. Is it this "I love an evil character unapologetically, don't woobify him!" mindset or... I don't get it, lmao. (Not saying he's a saint, but who is in that novel? Didn't know someone being cunty or non-conforming to socially established standards of good and bad = evil đ¤)
There are other things, of course. Don't get me started on the "creepy stalker HC" or "E-Ming and Ruoye shouldn't be kids but horny, perverted adults!" or "JunLian agenda" and whatever else nonsense is out there.
Anyway, sorry to rant in your inbox! I just got so annoyed by some of their takes at some point that I still sometimes feel frustrated lmao (funniest bit is them talking about reading comprehension and analysis skills re: literary texts and then... They go and misread the most obvious things in the novel?? Make it make sense).
LITERALLY ME... like i first saw them being like hey can you guys stop being insane abt the idea of any danmei work being criticised at all. n then they would always just post the most insane shit and it is SO weird... they're like invested in proving hc just suckssss and i dont get it like why would u want him to be like that and it's NOT even true and it's boring and lame... I haven't seen the junlian thing but HELLOOO?? and the other stuff like help why are u sexualising the cute rope...? hc is literally statistically one of the least evil characters and he proves u can be cunty but not evil which is a slay v_v its okay though i love to be a hater never feel bad for hating in my inbox đđđđ

 this is it... the final post.... 226 through THE END!!!!!
this shit with mu qing and the river of lava is SOOOO dramatic im loving it
oh my god theyre on a FUCKING bridge of course they are okay letâs go boys
âYouâre right. Weâre alike. You think me odd, I think you to be rather weird too.â - so what im getting from this is that xie lian and mu qing are the only characters in this book with working gaydar okay yup got it this checks out
god... the fact that xie lian is ready to be like âlook mu qing we can just forget about the past it doesnt matter we dont have to be friends i know you dont like me but im not gonna let you die over itâ and then mu qing is like â.... god i really do admire you huhâ
âYou...certainly...are rather amazing. Youâre...also...a better person...than me. Long story short, I...very much wanted...to become your f-f-friend.â - going to think about this for the rest of all time im about to become utterly unintelligible im overcome with emotions
âAnd, at the end of the white silk band, Feng Xin was gripping Ruoye with one hand while the other was holding on to a steel-faced Mu Qing, and he shouted towards him.â - the fucking IMAGE of this im gonna cry this is everything i could have asked for im so happy also mu qing dangling there like â welp. guess ill liveâ
âFeng Xin was almost burnt by that pillar of fire, and he shouted in outrage. âWHATâS WITH THIS BAND OF DOG SHITS, ATTACKING PEOPLE WHILE THEYâRE DOWN, SO VILE! FUCK YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!â Xie Lian responded, âIF THEIR ENTIRE FAMILIES ALL LOOK LIKE THAT, YOU SURE YOU WANT TO FUCK THEM??â - theyre so funny!!! and theyre best friends!!! theyre joking together now in the middle of all this i could cry theyre back!!!
âUsing sticks as arrows, he held the bow with one hand and used his teeth to bite back the bowstring.â - no clue how practical this is but okay archer boy. hot
i actually have so many little quips between the three of them highlighted but weâd be here all night if i included them all. im literally so delighted by this omg worth the wait
âEach sabre strike slashed to the bone. It wasnât like Xie Lian had never seen Hua Cheng use the sabre before in the past, but his style had always been easy and leisurely, nonchalant and casual. Rather than say he was handling a weapon, it was more like he was toying with a small knife. Yet those blade marks were filled with killing intent. It was easy to imagine just how skilled the one exchanging blows with him was, and how perilous this battle.â you have no idea how mad i was when i read this and thought we missed witnessing the fight between hc and jw omg
âBehind him, Feng Xin muttered, âDear fucking god, may all the gods and buddhas grant their blessings, that better absolutely be Crimson Rain Sought Flower, otherwise heâs gonna go mad!â âStop your rubbish,â Mu Qing berated. âWeâre all the gods and buddhas ourselves and we canât grant shit, just keep up with him! Look at the stumbling way heâs running, heâs gonna trip and fall to his bloody death before he even sees the man!â - okay i know i said no more quips but this is literally too funny i just wanted to read it again
â However, for whatever reason, that vicious ghost, in its muddled state, took that large group of live mortals under its wing and fled for many days. In the end, they were still surrounded by millions of ghosts, trapped in a dead end, and it was going to be eaten along with those humans.â [...] âThat vicious ghost almost made a move against those humans, but for some reason, in the end, it didnât. It instead used one of its own eyes as the price to forge a blood weapon. That vicious ghost was already forcibly hanging on with its last breath; after digging out its eye it shouldâve broken apart completely. Yet somehow something had shocked it, and it instead woke to its senses completely. â - THIS IS AMAZING ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? IS THIS ALL WE GET ABOUT HIS GHOSTLY LORE?????? HUA CHENGGGGGGGG
âWhat a terrible offence, his old habit had come out, and he quickly apologized. âIâm sorry! You donât have to listen to me!â Hua Cheng, however, only smiled happily. âEverything gege tells me is the best advice, so why wouldnât I listen?â - this isnt the fucking time afjdkfjsdkl they really never stop
âSo you can hold the illusion of a perfect Crown Prince of Wuyong to face and dismiss the Jun Wu now. Isnât that your objective? Did you think I donât know what youâre thinking?â âTHATâS NOT IT!â Guoshi cried. âStop getting tied up in right and wrong, victories and defeat, IâVE NEVER THOUGHT THAT WAY BEFORE!â - jun wu only being able to see xie lian as his successor and believing that thats all anyone else sees too... okay
honestly this whole final showdown was a blast i cant put everything in but it was so much fun to read. the DRAMA the LAVA the SHOUTING t
âHua Cheng had poured too much spiritual power into him. There really was too much, so much that it was completely outside the amount the cursed shackle could withstand.â - okay.... okay... the love you give will set you free... okay....
âWith Jun Wu in his grip, he carried both their bodies and forcefully slammed into the incomparably-solid rock wall! He used all of his power in this smash, and in the rumbling and crashing of rocks, he also heard the sound of something breaking.â [...] âA moment later, Jun Wu suddenly asked, âThat move. What is it called?â â...â Xie Lian raised his sleeve and wiped away the blood on the side of his face. âShattering boulders on the chest.â YES!!!!! YES!!!!! xie lian actually lived that life!!!!!! i loved this detail so much
âAfter a moment of silence, Xie Lian took off the bamboo hat carried on his back, took it in his hand, and covered it over Jun Wuâs face.â - xie lian... good... another detail i love. a hat that protects from the rain, given in a moment of need, even to someone who has caused you hardship... we do not forget the kindness granted to us
âThere was gratefulness, there was shame, there was heartache, there was wild joy, but above all else, there was incurable love.â - :pleading: i wish it was just that easy tbh. âi have to tell you about the worst parts of myselfâ âive already seen them and i dont care i still love youâ truly the dream
â Itâs been so long since anyone listened to me talk, wonât you stay? Donât...actually do this. I wonât be able to take it. Twice, itâs been twice already! I really donât want there to be a third time!!!â - the bit about just wanting someone to listen to him talk... xie lian... :(
emily corpse bride moment.... i knew it had to happen.... butterflies.... death and rebirth.... inevitable
xianle trio bickering about ruoye..... mu qing complaining but not letting anyone else fix it... im so happy
âThe Rain Master sat down on the spot, looking like she was going to perform a passing service for her. After all, Xuan Ji was the only one left of the Kingdom of Yushi besides herself.â - xuan ji you sure the hell were... a character. this little moment tho..... yushi huang... many thoughts
â Who hasnât made promises, or swore to the mountains and the seas when they were young? Talking of affection, of love, of forevers. But, the longer I hang around in the world, the more I understand, something like âforeverâ is impossible. Itâs never going to be possible. Having it once was already good enough. No one can truly achieve it. I donât believe in it anymore.â - jian lan im happy for you bummer it didnt work out with feng xin but yeah that was looooong ago. also this quote me same mood kin but its chill. having it once was already good enough
although yeah tbh if theres anyone who can have a forever like that... it would be a ghost and a god
fasdfjadklfj GOD... pour one out for ling wen.. but is that not the truth of this world? the one can be pardoned for being good at paperwork that no one else wants to do? isnt that the plot of the shawshank redemption?
okay but the fact that all xie lianâs friends come to visit him while he waits for hua cheng is making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.... fengqing coming together to try to get him out of the house but get scared off by his cooking... amazing
âLast time, they spent eight hundred years running towards each other. This time, it only took an instant to fall into each otherâs embrace.â - im completely unaffected by this. im not lying i swear (i am lying im very emotionally affected)
okay i love this final wrap up chapter party its so fun. mu qing moving on from the broom thing!!! good for him!! the beggars get their reward!!! the fun ghost city chefs!! SQX!!!! and he xuan is?? here too??? heâs hungry??? fjadlkfjsdl
âThe grounds that Feng Xin and Mu Qing had just swept were once again filthy from that giant crowd of muddy feet. Mu Qing gripped his broom, looking like he felt someone had infected him with fleas, and his eyes were wide.â - me when my dad comes into the kitchen when ive just finished washing dishes i get it king
the little folklore bit... fun!!! oh my god its over..... :(
that was really fun i had a blast reading it and on the whole really liked it i WISH soo badly that hua cheng had gotten more outside of being cunty and devoted even tho those are both important i just wish there was more about like how he got by during those 800 years and like did he ever have doubts? what shaped his worldview was it all xie lian or was it his experience as a mortal as well? why is he so mean to eâming? theres bits and pieces here and there and i know it was already SO long but that really would have been great if there was more about hc cuz tbh by the end, at least for me, the hualian relationship didnt actually feel as fleshed out as the xianle trio relationship like i still liked hualianâs dynamic and it was really sweet how much they clearly really liked each other and everything but i kind of wish some of the other subplots had been dropped or diminished in favor of more hc development i think that would have been cool
but anyway thats some of my thoughts and i really did enjoy the hell out of book 5 that was a riot and uhhh thanks to everyone who read these or commented *lends you spiritual energy through a high five*
#tgcf liveblog#it is Complete i can move on now#i actually have a lot more thoughts about hl because i uhhhh relate. to things. and have opinions due to my experiences#but its also quite Personal soooo i might just keep them tucked away#anyway im freeeeeee#mouse mumbles

[REDACTED] be complaining reg. the reactions of having "placed the cultist island Fortuna off the coast of Florida" while having the gall of "Itâs the story & the way itâs told that should fucking matter" & "Who cares? Itâs fictional geography, you idiots." Feels a bit like failing World-Building 101. I mean, Red Grave based on London would also be a callback to Dante's early concept of being a Brit.
Someone already sent me the whole post of hers that Iâm pretty sure youâre referring to lmao. Iâm in a particularly cunty but pleasant mood rn, and analysis is kind of my thing, so letsâs break it down, shall we?
Maybe someone can send this her way and⌠learn that tiny little brain of hers a thing. đ
Itâs fictional geography called world building, you idiots Karen after the cut:
âI love how a number of shitheels have screeched amongst themselves on this hellsite about how I had placed the cultist island Fortuna off the coast of Florida or somewhere around the Gulf US states (re: the fanfic & project link in my header), whining that it shouldâve been in Europe, namely Italy.â
An admission to stalking profiles is not exactly the best way to start a self-righteous rant or advertise your⌠magnum opus, but go off, I guess.
âNot only that, but they whined about âplotholes and inconsistenciesâ without elaborating on what the latter are. The asshole who made the rant was annoyed when I used a poem as a spell in the story (âif I heard that, Iâd turn off my PS4.â), but Iâm sure she didnât bitch about the cutscene before the last Agnus boss fight in DMC4.â
Like the movie The Room (2003), itâs just easier to say âall of itâ is bad because âall of itâ contains plotholes and is inconsistent in tone, has terrible half-baked ideas and plot threads that remain unresolved and/or do nothing to further the plot, is rife with poor + inconsistent characterization, has a lack of any knowledge how the medium it exists in is made, and in general makes me wonder how much pottery enamel youâve been huffing to think any of this was a good idea. Howeverrrr, in contrast to you, Tommy Wiseau is kind of odd and weirdly charming both in general and about his terrible movie â heâs found glory and success in its terribleness. You, in contrast, remain a miserable cunt with delusions of grandeur.
Dante and Agnusâ Shakespeare bit is actually a pretty well known trope called Ham-to-Ham Combat. Dante and Agnus are both ridiculous Large Hams in DMC4, and when two Large Hams meet, in general, they are likely gonna try to âout-over dramaticâ each other. This can lead to a scene becoming either really funny or really corny (or both) really fast. If things go too far â and they do, in this case â the scene can become a Hormel Event Horizon.
ââŚbut they LOVE the plotholes & inconsistencies if Capcom makes the latter, and writes a terrible story! And Crapcomâs canon for DMC is as straight as a paperclip or a dogâs hind leg. Hypocritical pricks.â
Subjective opinion is not, and never will be, objective fact. People are, as of when I checked again in the last ~5 minutes or so, absolutely able to enjoy whatever media they want regardless of what the general consensus on the quality of that media is.
As an example, I enjoy The Room (2003) despite its terribleness and it never fails to make me laugh, while your magnum opus makes me want to huff pottery enamel so the pain will stop despite you thinking it is the work of an idiot savant.
âThey were also mad that I wrote Dante as a wiseguy who is a little more low-key about it due to the circumstancesâ instead of being a pathetic manchild airhead that tries too hard.â
You didnât write Dante.
You wrote Reboot!Donte â a fucking terribly out of character version of him, at that.
âI was primarily concerned about moving the story along. I didnât care about where a fictional island is supposed to go.â
You literally had one (1) job, Karen.
ââŚMeanwhile, not a single character in DMC4 had an Italian accent, so uh, why should I give a flying fuck where I put it?â
Havenât you been like⌠shitting on the DMC staff⌠for terrible writing⌠this entiâ You know what? Youâre obvs way too dumb to notice that contradiction, so Iâll let it slide.
Just⌠a word of advice, if I may? Donât ever watch dub TV shows. That last brain cell would fuckinâ just burst all over your carpet.
(Actually, donât watch subtitled shows either. An extremely popular anime that was set in Italy just wrapped and all the characters â le gasp! â spoke fucking Japanese. You would shit.)
âI wasnât paid to write any of what I wrote, but be my guest & send a PM if you want to throw money at me. By all means, do that.â
Oh, thank fuck, because they would have been ripped off, big time.
[ btw, you sound p. jealous of people that write/do creative work/commissions for ko-fi/payment tho. Not a good look tbbh. If itâs any consolation, though, I donât get paid for making fun of you and/or analyzing your dumb bullshit, either. :( ]
âThe pricks at Capcom didnât even bother giving us a proper DMC4 and it was a half-assed game, with the latter half being hasty filler material. The âspecial editionâ they coughed up in 2015 was just glorified overpriced DLC.â
Ya know, you gotta be pretty far up your own ass to think this much of your opinion. And Iâm saying this as a person thatâs pretty far up her own ass like 85% of the time.
âAnd another thing, Redgrave City in DMC5 seems to be in England, yet no survivors speak with English accents or slang/dialects.â
Pretty sure no survivors had speaking roles.
If you played the game youâd know this.
âMeanwhile, Dante and Vergil had lived there when they were kids (until age 8), but they both have ordinary American or Canadian accents. Furthermore, how did the twins make it to the USA or Canada? According to the little booklet in the DMC1 game case, Danteâs office is in modern America.â
You know that invoking the imagery of a specific place without naming your location is normal and standard practice, right? Overwatch even does this (For Ex: ByĹdĹ-in (ĺšłçé˘), Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan is the inspiration for Hanamura, Château de Duingt, Duingt, France for Château Guillard, etc.)
Furthermore, you know the original DMC was a rejected first draft of Resident Evil 4, right? This is what retcon is for. You at least know what retcon is, right?
ââŚThat information isnât very important, but Iâm bringing it up to illustrate a point that being a fucking pedant about geography in a fantasy game is idiotic, even if the setting is akin to modern Earth.â
So is freaking the fuck out and sending death threats over a fantasy game but you didnât let that stop you either lmfao.
Itâs actually super important to establish your scenery and the way your world operates, especially in a written work in which readers are dependent on your vision and your descriptions, and if you were a decent writer, youâd know this.
âItâs the story & the way itâs told that should fucking matter.â
YOU HAD ONE (1) JOB, KAREN.
âWhat US states are the Arklay Mountains located in?â
General description puts them in the U.S. Midwest. Raccoon City itself is stated to have a population of ~100,000 at the time of outbreak, and the only city in the Midwest that matches that population in 1998 is Springfield, Missouri, with a pop. of ~110,000.
Springfield is on the Springfield Plateau of the Ozarks region of SW Missouri. So theyâre part of the Ozark Mountains.
This all took less than ~3 minutes to google, btw.
âWhere is âZanzibar Land?ââ
I actually just wrote a comprehensive answer to an ask a few weeks ago about this. Itâs actually stated to be in Tselinoyarsk (ЌоНинОŃŃŃĐş), the (fictional) area of the former USSR in which Big Boss carried out the Virtuous Mission/Operation Snake Eater in 1964. Tselinoyarsk itself is heavily implied to consist of parts of Kyrgyzstan and/or Tajikistan. If you played MGS3 youâd know how important the setting and the varied environments/climates are to the game mechan-
oh yeah wait you believe in segregation of story and gameplay mechanics. I forget youâre completely tone deaf sometimes lmao.
How far is âSalemâs Lot or Derry from Bangor? Who cares?â
Stephen King does, quite a bit. He even has a map on his website of âhisâ fictional version of Maine:
My disappointment is immeasurable, Karen.

I go off on GOT
[NOTE: I keep trying to add the Jon-Sansa hug GIFS but Tumblr REFUSES to let me save or post with them. Itâs fucking annoying]
*Rubs face*
Auntie LK is annoyed and she is going to take it out on yâall. Iâm gunna go ahead and go off on Sansa hate, Jonsa, Dark Sansa and all that shit so hang onto your assholes.
SO. The new promos. Thereâs been the idea for a long time, since S6 really, of the idea of Sansa plain murdering Jon or Jonsa becoming canon since, well, Jon and Sansa are now maternal cousins rather than agnate siblings (as in, siblings with the same father but different mother).
S6 had Sansa and Jon reunite for the first time since S1. A lot of heavy shit has happened, some of it they share (like losing their father and brother Robb, Winterfell getting a bad squid infection via Theon being a little bitch) but also stuff they didnât share (an absolute battering and rape for Sansa, literally being stabbed to literal death for Jon). For Jon, who just came back from the motherfuckinâ dead 10 minutes ago and decided he had enough of this shit heâs out, this is pure shock.
For Sansa? This is pure RELIEF. Remember, Jon is the FIRST family member she has seen since the death of Ned. She hasnât seen her mother (who is dead GOOD LAWL god I hate her), her eldest brother, her brat little sister, or her two littlest brothers since either leaving Winterfell or since Nedâs beheading. Not only that, heâs the Lord Commander of the Nightâs Watch as far as she knows, so heâs in a position of power that is untouched by machinations of the South. Who is in power? Who cares. The Nightâs Watch doesnât deal with that shit and Cersei canât follow her up here. And if Ramsey decides to give chase, itâs more than Jon to fight back.
Look at the hug. She almost cries, listen to the shuddery inhale of breath as she fights that back, she practically falls into him, and once they hug she looks for comfort and support. For Sansa, this is absolute relief. Her ordeal, for the moment, is over. She escaped Ramsey, the rape, the torture. She survived the snow, the river, the chase and being hunted. And now she is safe in the arms of her older brother.
For Jon, he is absolutely stunned to see her. For as much as they didnât really get along, sheâs still his sister, and he said goodbye to his family in Winterfell years ago. Only Benjen went to the Wall, and he disappeared, so Sansa is the first heâs seen in a long time. Hell, Jon almost ran to join Robb in his rebellion, and only just resisted and came back.
Family came for Jon after his resurrection.
After this comes a really important talk. Sansa and Jonâs relationship was never really touched on; Jon and Robb hugged and treated each other as peer-brothers (and itâs fucking CUTE I would CUT SOMEONE to see more bro Jon and Robb!!), Jon and Arya were cute-as-buttons older brother/pint-sized sister, and Jon cared so much about Bran that he bore Catlynâs cunty comments in order to say goodbye. The only two not explored were Sansa and Rickon. Itâs really important to note that Sansa took after Cat. And that meant absorbing her loathing of Jon, something that is talked about. Sansa gets to brass tacks about it:
Sansa : I spent a lot of time thinking about what an ass I was to you. I wish I could change everything. Jon: We were children. Sansa : I was awful, just admit it. Jon : ( chuckles ) You were occasionally awful. I'm sure I can't have been great fun. Always sulking in the corner while the rest of you played. Sansa : Can you forgive me? Jon : There's nothing to forgive. Sansa : Forgive me. Jon : All right. All right, I forgive you.
Sansa knows she was wrong, wants to make it right, and does not allow Jon to sweep it away. She is determined to make sure he knows she knows she was wrong. It can be interpreted that she wants to secure his forgiveness and is in fact ordering it out of him, but I donât see it that way. She knows she fucked up, and she wants to make it right. The following conversation re-enforces the fact theyâre family. Jon even says â If I don't watch over you, Father's ghost will come back and murder meâ (Iâd pay good money to see Ned come back and give Jon a bollocking actually). Sansa brings up Winterfell, enforces itâs THEIR home and itâs for their family. She wants the Boltons out, but Jon came back from the dead 10 minutes ago and has Had Enough Of This Shit And Is Very Tired. Sansa lets it go temporarily.
Throughout the ep, and into the next, the idea is enforced that Jon and Sansa are brother and sister, and that Jon is Ned's son. Sure, currently that's kinda funny considering he isn't by blood, but the sentiment is true; Jon is every inch Ned's boy, and Sansa clearly feels safe with him, she even says so to Brienne:
Sansa : Jon isn't Davos, the Red Woman or Stannis for that matter.Jon is Jon.He's my brother.He'll keep me safe. I trust him.
Here is a thing I think a lot of people are missing. Yes, Sansa trusts Jon. She says it herself. But why, as Brienne countered, did she not tell Jon about the Knights of the Vale? Why did she outright counter Jon publicly? Why not wait?
The thing is, Jon is Ned's son. AND NED STARK IS FUCKING SHIT AT KEEPING SECRETS. Ned Stark is honourable to a FAULT, it's what got him Mcfreakin' killed. Jon is the Starkiest Stark that ever Starked, and Sansa KNOWS that letting him in on critical plans is a bad fucking idea. She's already learned from Pety 'I would honestly tongue a cat's asshole for fun' Baelish that one never shows all one's cards. But sharing a card with someone as upright and see-through as Jon? Might as well cut your own throat and be done with it.
Why publicly confront him? I never believed for a second that Sansa was displeased at Jon's sudden elevation to King in the North. When it was announced, he was stunned, and to me it looked like he was looking to Sansa to see if a) it was real, and b) wtf Sansa what do I do.
He's been suddenly promoted before, but the Night's Watch was different, and perhaps he's having flashbacks as to how THAT went. Hell, everyone was pissed before Lyanna Mormont straightened her big girl knickers and said 'Listen up you lil shits Jon is good King Jon 303AC 4lyf'. This is all good for Sansa. She has Winterfell back, Ramsey Bolton is more than dead, Jon has the support of the Northern lords firmly when they told them to eat a dick not too long ago. Everything feels great. Plus, in the North, she doesnât have to deal with backstabbing political shit.
And then she remembers Littlefinger is there.
Oh fuckbastards.
What to do? While it looks like Littlefinger is getting to her, itâs VERY important to note that, despite being King In Da Norf, Jon is still as humble as ever. Before that, when Winterfell was first reclaimed, Jon noted that Ned and Catâs room was prepared for Sansa.
Jon : Iâm having the lordâs chamber prepared for you. Sansa : Mother and Fatherâs room? You should take it. Jon : Iâm not a Stark. Sansa : You are to me.
Damn right he is, Sansa. Jon mentions they need to trust each other more and kisses her forehead. I think this, after the conversation about Littlefinger, really planted it in Sansaâs mind sheâs got to protect Jon from this bastard. Jon can fight the physical and commend men no problem, but psychological shit he has issues with. Hell, Sansa told him outright not to fall for Ramseyâs shit in BOTB and he did anyway. Thereâs a gulf in Sansaâs Southern-trained psychological way of things and Jonâs straightforward hit-it-until-it-stops Northern mind. Both have had their ways beaten into them, so they canât unlearn, but also canât see the otherâs view.
Okay okay okay. where is Auntie LK going with this? From what I see, Sansa was publicly denouncing Jonâs plans BUT doing so to keep him safe. The plan to give the Last Hearth and Karhold to loyal Lords? Thatâs a Southern tactic AND good sense. HOWEVER ... in this instance, Jon was right. The important think to note that both holds HAVE a new Lord and Lady waiting for them. And they are children.
These babs!
If anyone knows about a child having to bear the supposed sins of their parents, itâs Jon. He felt the weight of Nedâs supposed infidelity, even if it was absolutely no fault of their own. These children are terrified, Alys visibly swallows and tries to breathe properly. Hell, itâs scary when Sansa was all for taking their homes and Jon mentioned executing people, they probably worried they were next. However, Jon simply asks for allegiance. And that was a wise call; the idea of redistributing at first got a high then got a mixed to low response, given the chatter in the room and Davos looking down.
Don't for a second think I'm shitting on Sansa. From her point of view, this absolutely makes sense; if people stab you in the back, GITFO bitch. But that Southern way of thinking just will not work as well in the more traditional North. In this instance, Jon was in the right, and it's understandable how he is frustrated with Sansa openly challenging him. I think Sansa was trying to shore up any potential future betrayal, and simply didn't make the right calculation. She looks at Littlefinger in this scene, who likes the argument.
In this instance, Jon is right. These are children, and he rules like a good King; with a firm but gentle hand. He makes these kids feel like important grown-ups, spares them, and gives them this sense of awe and majesty. If Daenerys rules with terror and awe with her dragons, and a kind heart for the underdog, Jon wants to rule with practical kindness. They thought they were going to lose their homes, or even their heads, given that Sansa mentioned taking away their Holds and Jon mentioned executing people. Instead, King Jon asked for their word, and they gave it.
Look at what happens after; Jon tells Sansa to stop openly undermining him, Sansa points out that she should give advice and compliments his leadership skills. She tries to get him to see she has advice worth listening to, and he is clearly frustrated and tries to walk away, but she will not let him. To the point of GRABBING him.
She will not let Jon walk away from this. He tries to walk, but she physically makes him stop, and emphasises what she is trying to get through to him:
Sansa : You have to be smarter than Father. You need to be smarter than Robb. I loved them, I miss them, but they made stupid mistakes, and they both lost their heads for it.
To me, this clearly says one thing; Jon, for the love of fucking Old Gods and New Improved Ones, I am trying to keep you safe. She canât outright say âLittlefinger wants to park his thirsty asshole on the Iron Throne and wants me on his lap because I remind him of my mother and he is willing to slaughter you like a sheep to get itâ, Jon canât be trusted with that sort of info. She wants to publicly make it look like sheâs plotting against Jon in Littlefingerâs eyes ... but at the same time, make sure that her public outbursts arenât ACTUALLY damaging her relationship with him. He is too precious. She needs him, and his abilities, but also needs to string Littlefinger along to ensure he doesnât do something without sharing it with her first. She was dead set against Jon going South. Thatâs where Cersei can get her mitts on him, thatâs walking into the mouth of the dragon and hoping it doesnât eat him. The only positive for this was suddenly getting Bran and Arya back; she outright hugs Bran, her little brother who was in a coma when she left Winterfell, and even Arya gets a hug despite the pair being the most antagonistic towards each other.
Now. Arya and Sansa had issues. They had issues before Littlefinger littlefingered all over the place. Arya, despite her Southern training, is pretty much a hardcore Northerner, and seeing Sansaâs betrayal letters would have set her off and Littlefinger was banking on that. But when you have a family that TALKS, that has a legit psychic on staff to divine the truth (and Arya literally heard Bran recite the truth), that plan falls up the asshole. Did Sansa truly plan to ever murder Arya, and vice-versa? Honestly, who hasnât entertained thoughts of murdering their annoying sibling, especially if one thinks the other has fallen to the Dark Side. However, Sansa and in a way Aryaâs arcs have been about family. Only family can be trusted. Family will be there when you need them. Family will keep their word and protect you. For Sansa, this is in Stark (heh) contrast to the Lannisters and Baratheons, whom she was so eager to join as true Lords and Ladies. The Lannisters are at each otherâs throats when not fucking each other, and the Baratheons tore themselves apart with infighting and backstabbing (and vagina shadowmonsters). The Starks bicker, but they have each other.
If Sansa wanted Jon dead or out of the picture, she wouldnât have gone to the trouble of making him a cloak that is very similar to Ned Starksâ own. The man she literally saw beheaded in front of her.
Sansa : I made it like the one Father used to wear. As near as I can remember.
Sansa near panics when Jon decides to ride for Dragonstone, she keeps glancing to her right, either in Littlefingerâs direction or directly at him. All the Lords donât want Jon to go, even his most hardcore supporter Lady Mormont, and Sansa is dead against it. Even when Jon names her Wardeness of the North in his absence, she is still wearing a face of panic.
Me? In charge? Oh. Uh.
Does Sansa enjoy being in power? Who doesnât. Do I anticipate trouble when Jon returns? If he returned himself, I think the transition would have been smooth. Jon will be impressed by how well Sansa is preparing the north, and she will pretty much still be Wardeness while he is King; think of Sansa as the Prime Minister that gets shit done while Jon is the figurehead and commands the armies and does power deals. The addition of Daenerys is a biiiiiiig complication, especially with Jon boatsexinâ her all the way.
Which brings us to the hug. While I do believe Sansa is relieved to see him back alive, the arrival of Dany is a complication and now she has someone she needs to suss out and see if this person is a threat to her or the newly reunited Starks.
Do I think a Starkbowl is coming? Hell to the fucking no. The ENTIRE POINT of Sansaâs arc is that FAMILY CAN BE TRUSTED, FAMILY IS THERE TO PROTECT YOU. The biggest point for her is that Daenerys is not family. Sheâs Jonâs girlfriend for the moment, sure, but not family. Sheâs Essosi-minded, sheâs not a Northerner for fucking sure. At this point, the issue will be the outing of Jonâs heritage.
But what does that really mean? Sure, Ned isnât his blood father. But Ned raised him, he was raised with all the Starks as a sibling. Cunty Cat made him feel lesser, but everyone still treated him like a brother. Even Sansa. Everyone is zeroâing in on the father aspect, but A STARK IS HIS MOTHER. HE STILL HAS STARK HERITAGE. As Lady Mormont rightfully pointed out, âHe has Ned Starkâs blood in his veinsâ. And he does; Ned and Lyanna are full-blooded siblings, and share the same wolf blood.
I hoep to hope, and I think it will happen, that Sansa will silently recalculate what the news will mean when others react, but as far as she and most certainly Bran and Arya are concerned, Jon is still their big brother. The big brother that said goodbye before Winterfell despite the coma, the brother that came to take back Winterfell despite the Boltonâs vile threats, the brother that choke-slammed a snake for wanting to bang them because they reminded them of their mother, the brother that rode out to save his little Rickon despite the odds, the brother that gifted them Needle, the brother that was willing to overlook past nastiness.
Jon Snow, the King in the North, the blood of Ned, the White Wolf ... he is their brother, and always will be. The gold/silver of Targaryen yielded to the coal of Stark, and Jon is the fucking Starkiest Stark that ever Starked.
Sansa is not going to backstab her brother. Fuck outta here with that shit.
LK out.

I don't like that "gotcha" shit that certain douchey, preachy religious people try to pull - the one where they're like "Everybody prays when their loved one is dying", "Everybody prays when they've lost their car keys in an emergency", "There are no atheists in a natural disaster", "So you're not really atheists, you still believe deep down".
First off, I've spent years of my life living in various Catholic, Christian and Pagan households, I've been to religious schools - many other atheists have religious childhoods, families, schooling or backgrounds too - so praying is an old habit from when I was a kid and I was forced to do it.
Secondly, like, have you ever read a book? watched a movie? listened to a sad song? Praying is constantly portrayed as the response to extreme hardship, as the appropriate way to express hope - we grew up watching shitty hospital soaps where somebody prayed for their dying kid like twice an episode. You clap when you hear "So noone told you life was gonna be this way" and you pray when your kid is strapped to life support - TV said so.
Thirdly, you don't have to believe in something to be like "Everything's going to shit and I've got no logical options left, might as well move on to the nonsensical stuff". When people are playing Jenga, they'll say things like "don't fall, don't fall, don't fall, come on baby you can do it" to the tower... they don't believe that the fuckin' Jenga blocks can actually hear them, or that the blocks have any semblance of sentience, or that the blocks have any choice in the matter. It's just a way to express hope when there's nothing that you can do but hope.
But on a more serious note, if somebody feels so desperate and powerless that they aren't acting on their preexisting beliefs (or lack thereof) and are just begging literally anything that they can think of for help... maybe don't fuckin' take advantage of their struggle to invalidate their beliefs (or lack thereof), you insensitive prick.
It ain't people's deep down coming out, it's their desperation, it's an old habit from childhood, it's something mimicked from the media. It doesn't mean that somebody believes in a god deep down, it means that they are struggling and desperate enough to do anything... like a terminal cancer patient trying crystal healing despite having been a skeptic for their entire life, because fuck it, because there's nothing else that they can do but grasp at straws.
Have a damn heart, and - instead of taking advantage of acts of desperation by people who are losing loved ones or are in a natural disaster, just so that you can try to invalidate someone's beliefs (or lack thereof) in a random online argument, because apparently you've never been desperate and/or afraid enough to act in a way that you'd normally consider irrational (or at least, you don't understand, sympathize or respect when others do that) - try doing something slightly less cunty.
If you saw something terrible and spent a month going "No loving god would do this, I don't know what to think any more", I wouldn't use that doubt against you or other Christians like that, to claim that you don't really agree with your honestly held beliefs or opinions, to call you a liar - I wouldn't be like "See, people in hardship give up on god, you never really believed" - because it's really fuckin' cunty to use people's distress against them like that.
~ Vape
#Mod Vaporeon#have a smol angry rant because the internet threw a thing at me#also I actually don't tend to pray in bad situations any more#but they don't believe you when you say that#and I cba to sidetrack this explaining bad shit I've been through and didn't pray during
