Half of Catra's backstory from this fic

Another memory bubbles up, this time of Captain Prime towering over her, about a year after she took down Hordak. They were standing on the deck of his flagship. 

“We specialize in relocating… extraordinary creatures like you, miss Catra.” She couldn't help but shudder at the word choice. “Such fascinating beings are not made to be hidden,” Long, firm fingers, different from Hordak's bony ones, moved past her chin to rest on her shoulder. Catra had to will herself not to flinch. The man smiled. "Our crew, the Horde, give them the chance to be brought into light. Appreciated,” -his grip tightened- “Utilized.” 

She felt suffocated under his gaze. “Magicats are not rare but they aren’t quite common outside of the mainland, you would make an excellent trophy in the more desolate kingdoms up north, I'm sure. Though I am more interested in your abilities. Your keen eyes, to be exact,” His stare turned hungry. Catra’s ears pinned back. “Your senses. Think of the brilliant hunter I could bring out of you. It would be a shame to waste all this talent on this small seaside town, don’t you think?” 

When Prime’s hands left her, the chill on her skin did not fade. He took a step back, as if to give her the space of choice, and declared.

“Miss Catra, you will be of use to us yet.”

Just A Simple Question

Summary | Riley Brooks admits her true feelings to Drake over some Drinks

Warnings | discussions of feelings, unrequited love, gay for those who care??

W/C | 1145

Pairing | Hana Lee x Riley Brooks, Drake Walkex x Riley Brooks (Unrequited), Liam Rys x Riley Brooks (mentioned, unrequired)

A/N | This is my first writing so be nice?? A decent human being. This is my interpretation of how the events happen bc i have to imagine a whole ass diffrent book , ok? Nothing more than a headcanon of a story I like, OK?

AO3 Link | idk man I gotta wait apparently lmafo

Disclaimer | * none of the characters are mine … obviously. The characters were all created by Pixelberry Studios in their book “The Royal Romance” on the app called “Choices: Stories You Play” … idk go see it there ig *

Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Rittenhouse Rye. Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Bowmore 15. Alll of the “Real drinks” by Drake Walker’s definition. 4 bottles into the castle's personal collection they sat on an open field.

Riley, with that stupid overconfidence of hers, challenged drink master Drake Walker to a friendly drinking competition. Of course, she got ahead of herself like she always does and definitely drank more than she could handle.

Riley Brooks was now knocked out cold, leaning against Drake's shoulder as he tiredly sipped his drink. At least that's what he thought. He jumped slightly as he heard her voice, slurred by her drunken and sleepy state.

“Do you like someone?” Her voice almost whispered on his shoulder.

“I—” Of course he did. How could he not? Riley, whom he wanted to hate more than anything, somehow managed to claw her way into his heart. The way she defended him from anyone who dared say he didn't belong. The way her smile always seemed to light up his heart. The way her eyes looked when she got passionate about something. The way—

“I do.” Her whispered response to her own question interrupted his thoughts. “... They are amazing, y’know? They are talented, kind, so beautiful, caring. How could I not like them? How ethereal they look when the sun hits them just right. How the mere thought of them makes me smile.” Her words were as clear as the bright moon in front of them. As if she weren't drunk and what she was saying was the most true and clear thing to her.

Drake hummed in that manly way men do. On the outside, he seemed completely unbothered as his friend laid out her feelings for him to hear. And yet, with each word of adoration that came out of her mouth, the more he despised himself for hating his friend's true feelings. Why couldn't it have been him instead of—

“She reminds me of Princess Draupadi.”

She? It clicked immediately. Hana. How could it not? Of course… of course. How could he have been so blind? Here he had a full romantic relationship unfold before his very eyes and he didn't see. Every accidental touch that always seemed to happen too often. Every glance they shared every time they thought no one was looking. Every greeting that never lacked bright eyes, a toothy grin nor a hug that looked like they could die happy if it were their last day on earth.

With every revelation he found, he felt both heartbroken that these words weren't for him and foolish for thinking Riley could never love him back. And yet, he couldn't bring himself to hate either of them. Truth be told, he saw Hana as his little sister, and Riley was… Riley is everything. He—

He was interrupted again by a watery, weak laugh as Riley wiped her eyes. “Forget I said anything. It's stupid anyways. I mean— I AM here for Liam, right? So it doesn't matter—”

“No.” He immediately pushed away his feelings to realign his focus on protecting Riley’s and Hana’s. That’s what “real” men do, right? Protect the women in his life he adores?

“No. No, they do matter.” Drake took Riley’s hand into his, giving it a supportive squeeze. “Truth be told, Brooks? Liam wants you to be happy. Whether that's with him or someone else. He isn't the type to hold grudges. Especially not with you...”

Riley looked at him with an expression of pure confusion. “You… you're not mad?”

“Mad? Why would I be mad?”

Riley looked down in shame. “Because I'm lying. Both to myself and to your best friend. I'm lying to everyone. I'm just dragging everyone down with me..” She hugged her knees close as tears fell.

Drake let out a long sigh. “... I'm no one to judge, Brooks. Are you human?” She was… confused but nodded.

"Then chances are the reasons you fell for her were out of your control. You didn't fall because you could, but because you did.”

Riley looked up at him in fascination. “...I”

Drake looked down at her with eyes brimming with emotion. With the eyes of a man who was willing to forget his own desires just to see the woman he loves happy.

“Why did you wait so long to say something?”

Riley’s eyes widened before she looked down in shame again. “I thought… I could go through with this. At first, I wanted to win Liam. I really did. Then I met Hana. And she just… changed everything.” She laughed joylessly as she leaned back on her hands, looking at the endless sky.

“Meeting Hana was like… seeing the true beauty of the galaxy after only seeing the stars and moon. I thought it was simple fascination at first, but I quickly realized she was as, if not more, beautiful inside as she was outside. I tried to stop myself. I promise I did but I—... I think I just fell for her harder.”

At those words, she covered her red face as she fell back on the cool ground, kicking her feet in the air while she screamed. Drake only looked down at her with a reminiscent smile.

He remembered how he felt when he admitted to himself that he was madly in love with the New York girl who was beautiful as she was quick-witted. It wasn't all too different from his current sight… minus the kicking feet, of course.

“So… what are you going to do? The Coronation Ball is next week.”

Riley let her arms fall on the grass as she looked up at the sky. Her eyes scanned the beautiful star-filled sky as if a Celestial God would appear and offer her a clear answer for her problems. However unfortunate for her, this was real life, so, after several seconds, she responded.

“I... I don't know. Maybe… maybe I can tell Maxwell? Tell him that … I may be falling for someone and … maybe he'll understand.”

“Tomorrow we'll be riding a lot… maybe try to mention it then?”

Riley nodded almost absentmindedly before letting out a loud groaned cry of both frustration and anger as she roughly wiped her still wet eyes. “When did this get so fucking complicated?! I just came here for the possibility of earning me a hot prince! I didn’t ask for all of this shit!”

Drake let out a loud, chest-filled laugh at the unexpected prophecy of the New Yorker. “I get you, Brooks.”

After staying quiet for a moment, he clapped his hand on Riley’s knee comfortingly. “It's alright, Brooks. It will all work out in the end… the story isn't over and all that, right?”

Riley laughed but nodded as Drake soon laid back on the cool ground, just as Riley was doing.

That's how they spent the night—stargazing and naming random constellations in the night sky.

Fucked up sexuality?

TRIGGER WARNING:

judgemental, homophobbic, aphobic, or easily offended people DO NOT READ THIS BLOG its essentally like a coming out story, im keeping my full identity anonymous.

For starters "Queer" does not necessarily mean gay, but an umbrella term to describe anyrhing other than straight. The original definition of queer (in british terms) means odd, strange or different.

INITALLY POSTED IN LATE 2020/EARLY 2021

Edited/UPDATED MAY 17 2022 as things are changing

_______________

The back Story

In High school I knew I was different then every one else, everyone started dating and I wasnt but wasnt really interested, I figured something was up, then later learned about asexuality and aromaticm, I knew what asexual was before I heard the term.

As many may relate in HS your body has also changed or in that prosses so (if your a guy) you may experience hard ons, it was more random at the time but by about junior year I found myself being more attracted to guys than girls, skinnier guys, my arousal also seemed to settle and have a trigger, (Still no interest in dating), but this trigger wasnt like everyone elses, But instead on some (but few) guys, partically ones with a skinny or average proportion, little or no body/leg hair, and looks. Gays know what this is its what would be called "twink"(I wouldnt learn this word till 8 years later). But it wasnt really that much of an issue at the time.

As time progressed it slowly became worse and easier triggerd, it can become a problem if it isnt wanted, and its not sexual related but triggerd by presence and observing, but again not something I thought about to much.

_________

Fast fowerd to june 2020

So as stated before

Had this "Twink problem" since at least High School, but at the time I paid little or no mind to it, "shrugged it off" , didnt think much about it, told myself nah cant be . It wasnt untill recently in 2020 that the fact couldnt be denyed any longer, especally during "horny season"

(Where I was staying there were dogs and alot if cats, first the dogs went into heat, then the cats, & my roomates (possibly)then I was feeling horny) where I seemed to be very easily aroused, way more than what it was before. It became rock hard just buy seeing pictures of lesser dressed "twinks" on ifunny & IG. I felt "thirsty" for more during this brief time & started Dabbling a little with porn too. This is where I learned what onlyfans was and that there was a word for "it"'. ^

Luckaly (maybe due to self consiousnes, autism, or lack of experience/exposure), and thinking that our society is too "sexualized" and to much importance is placed on it. This keeps me in the Asexual catagory, but with backwards working libido. Arousal alone does not neccessarily determine orientaion.I dont exactly know what sexual attraction is or feels like and not sure if thats what im experiencing (or not) Im also pretty sure im aromantic. (I dont fell like im missing much without a relationship), keep in mind in still technically a virgin

Click this link to learn what asexuality is :

https://www.whatisasexuality.com/intro/

When Arousal happens (if its wanted) its a drive not directed anywhere in particular & there is little or no desire for any traditional "partnerd sex". I dont really "fantasise" in the normal mannor in masterbation (Dissacoication of myself and images) In fact im slightly repulsed by some sex (especslly the idea of oral or on recieving end of gay sex, "bottoming"). Arousal dips dramatically when its full nude.

Even if I do get aroused, or want to be, I dont always act on such feeling or urges

It primarily is trigged by lesser dressed (but not nude) twinks. Underwear models and posing trap posts, would be a non kinky example. (This is basically porn for me) see some of my liked photos. I dont know why but I find twinks or twink like bodies Athsedicly appealing, and at times arousing as well. I dont seem to be attracted to other body types of dudes though, in fact quite the opposite. It just seems that I have a thing for twinks partically ages 19,early-mid 20s.

I do however sometimes question (or think) about sex "topping". But vary rarely, and not in line or same time as arousal. Though I think no right after. Im indifferent to traditional sex.

I feel like its slowly progessing and developing as im less cringy on this stuff than I used to be, like porn, or fetishes for example, and I seem to be at least pondering the idea of sex more oftenly, especally after the late "discovery".

Arousal and sexual attraction although commonly confused or thought of as the same are two different things. Although they can be corelared, one can exist without the other . See this link:

https://asexualitytrust.org.nz/what-is-asexuality/attraction-vs-arousal/

______________________

About the word twink:

Twink is an all out gay slang word and many gays are into this type of thing.

Twink definition:

A slang term (typically used by gays, but no other word for this exists) to decribe how someone can look in this case its

Generally attractive young men typically ages 18 thru the 20s with youthful apperence. Slightly slim to average build/proportion with little or no body hair, little noticable mucle tone, (although some may have abs) and commonly white.

Twinks can be dark haired or blonde. Twinks may or may not be gay (this is a descriptive term for apperance). As much as 15% of the young male population can be considered this.

This is a base definition although everyones definition varies slightly.

Also its been made provocative and sexualized, Mainly by the porn industry. Im NOT referring to the word twink in a sexual context (per say)

_______________________

The confusion

Where did this "backward libido" come from and how and why? What caused this? I didnt wake up one day and say "i think ill like dudes" It isnt a choice it just is. Theres no gene in the family either.

Despite these id rather see a naked chick (I dont mind seeing tits or buttux if there nice) than any naked guy (even twinks), and im still slightly homophobic. (Male genitals are cringy, and im not ok with these feelings I do have, but I do support the LGBTQA+ comunity that I guess im sorta in now) There isnt or very little arousal in this case though. Either way I do NOT do genetalia, but female nude is less repulsive.

I also had a straight "child" crush on this girl I knew at the time Katrena.I was like 5 or 6

___________________

More explaing (dont worry the worst is over,)

I may not (or think I dont) experience sexual or romantic attraction, but I do experience other forms of attraction

When someone says Attraction, it just means to draw your attention, not neccearily sexual.

I mainly experience:

Athsedic attraction- based on how someone looks, I experience this alot, multiple times a week

Platonic Attraction-when looking for more of a friendship not a relationship with someone

Oftenly (but not always) these 2 overlap

I also seem to easily develop what are known as "Sqishes" or basically platinic crushes, put simply a squish is like a crush but its not romantic or sexual but insted you really want to get to know someone more or be their friend. (See more recent post on the topic)

I had at least 4 active squishes at the original time of this post.

im kind lonely tbh :/

Ive for a while have liked the idea of "bromance" even before the discovvery

_____________

A question:

If I am aestheticly attracted to someone, (to the point of it being hard not to look, and I get aroused, is this sexual attraction? Even though im not thinking about sex with them at the time, plz comment ur input for this question, plz no hate or being rude.

______________________

Speculation on possible causes:

Early childhood shows I watched (explain in another blog)

Being Autism spectrum - studies found on numorios sorces that people with ASD, particularly high functioning are more likely to be LGBT

2-3x for homo or bisexuality,

And as much as 6x more likely to be ace

Raised and been around alot of women (early development to age 10.)

Aquired "fetish" of sort as a child progressed into sexual arousal. Certain behaviors and poses based on dressing.

Social(not sextual) context more guys friends/social than girls (again as a prepubescent)

The taking of risperidol (contains estrogen) as a teen

Possible slight hormone imbalence, misshaped/misfiring part of brain, as autism affects parts of the brain, especially on the socializeing part of it.

___________

Conclusion (for now)

To sum it up im basically a

Homo-oriented AroAce

(But still somewhat questioning)

(Mild or borderline homo in terms of mental condition/disorder)

Keep in mind that full Nudity (genetala) turns me off/heavely reduces arousal, and I dont particularly need sex (Though I'm becoming curious on and off in the late)

Though as of recently (about 12-18 months after I first posted this thread) I can say that im kinda an ass guy. (Twink and chick ass).

If someone has any input or thoughts on this

Particularly gays or aces, please let me know as my sexuality is complicated, even for me to understand. Maybe some insight or shed some light? Im not out to really any one I know in person because of :

- hard to explain (obviously)

- not "the norm"

- mixed notions of homophobia/queerphobia

Big Social Stigma, judgemental assholes

Maybe I can understand what I am better so I can come out at least to some people.

What was it like to first " come in" to your sexuality?

Plz be positive considerate or constructive though, as im not fond of these feelings its just how it is in a way I can explain it.

rules answer the ten questions, write your own, and tag ten people

1. if you had a podcast, what would it be about?

Omg! Probably a little bit of everything but I think talking about writing, home/self-care, history/traveling? I think it’d be a lot of fun to gush about some of those interests :)

2. how would you act during an apocolypse? You can pick what kind of apocalypse it is.

mmm let’s say for a zombie apocalypse bc I think about it too often SO! I think I’d be pretty resourceful at the start by picking up supplies/being strategic and safe, but I think once it gets worse I’d struggle to get more bc idk if I’d be brave enough or even have weapons to fight off zombies. If I were in a group, after a bit I think I’d come to be like a second in command, but I would hopefully get better at fighting!

3. your dream shoes?

white chuncky sneakers :( idc the brand

4. if you were in a band, what would be your role? your current skills don’t matter.

singer w/ guitar but not like main guitar? I can sing anyways but I’ve always wanted to learn guitar and be in a garage band :(

5. would you rather be in a mediocre relationship which lasts 10 months or an amazing relationship that lasts 10 weeks?

amazing relationship for 10 weeks! Tbh I have a fear of intimacy and don’t necessarily want to be in a relationship if I’m not feeling it anyways, so I don’t think I would sit in a meh relationship for 10 months LOL. Plus we writers love to be in pain once the good times are over :,)

6. what is the best primary color in your opinion?

I’m always a sucker for the first words they say to you being on your body somewhere, like I can’t get enough of it

9. what’s your favorite late time snack?

I always seem to heat up Teriyaki noodles at 11pm so?? That ig

10. if you could direct a movie, what would it be about?

mmm well, I think it would be cool to do a witch coven movie but ngl I’ve imagine this one idea of this girl realizing she’s gay in college bc one of her roommates is so cool/strong/spontanous but they might not even get together, just bond?? Idk I think that would be fun to direct!

my questions

1. if you had a partner, where would be your fav place to kiss them?

2. do you collect anything? If so, what? What would you want to collect if not?

NEVER THOUGHT IT’D BE HER

Summary:  Max lives an… entertaining life.  She just got out of a relationship she thought would last forever.  Meeting one person leads to more people in her life, and before she knows it, she’s falling in love with someone she never expected to fall in love with.

Words:  1,487

Warnings: little bit of angst

Author’s Note:  its getting good hehe… reminder that i link the previous chapters directly below the author’s notes, so if you’re behind you can just click the link thru here :D

CHAPTER 1, CHAPTER 2, CHAPTER 3, CHAPTER 4

~~~

CHAPTER 5

WAKING up, Alex felt different.  Like something major in her life had changed.  She sat up after rubbing her eyes and realized where she was.  So… it did happen.  Everything with Devin….  She started to tear up, but then she remembered that she was in bed with Max.  She turned her body around to go face her friend but was greeted by more pillows.  She huffed, disappointed that she was alone, but upon further looking, she noticed a piece of paper on Max’s nightstand.  A note.

               “Morning.  I had to run to work to finish some stuff (that apparently couldn’t wait -_-), and I didn’t wanna wake you up since you had a rough night.  There’s a whole bunch of food in the cabinets in the kitchen.  If you can’t find anything you want, text me and I can order something for you if you want.  I shouldn’t be home too-too late, but I’ll def text you when I’m on my way back.  Treat yourself to whatever you want, be it food or tv.  You’re an adult so I can’t stop you, hehe.  Text me when you get up if you want (just so I know you’re alive).  I’ll see you later :D  ~Max”

               Alex couldn’t help but smile while reading the entire note that was written to her.  Since she had nothing planned for the day, she decided to sleep in a bit more to help recuperate from the previous night’s anguish.  Putting the note back where she found it, Alex rested her head on the pillow once again for about three more hours.

               Settling in at her desk, Max checked her phone for what felt like the millionth time within the past hour.  She felt bad that she had to leave Alex alone in her home after what happened last night, but her boss practically threatened her to get her ass to work “or else.”  That bitch. 

               After deciding putting the phone down would probably do her some good, Max finally got to do what she came into work to do in the first place. 

               Around 11:45 a.m., she got a text.  No one usually texts her when she’s at work, so she flipped her phone right side up to check who it was.  It was Alex.  Max smiled, reading the text: “finally got out of bed.  Not sure how you managed to get up so quickly without waking me.  I felt like I woke the whole neighborhood just sitting up it’s so comfy.  Don’t rush your work, it’s more important, lol.  To quote someone who wrote me a note this morning, ‘I’ll see you later :D’”

               Max chuckled at the last part of the text.  What a wiseass, she thought.  “Good to know you’re finally alive and moving, lol :P.  I bought it for its comfort ig.  I’ll text you when I get in my car later, it’s about a 10 min drive home jsyk.  To quote someone who quoted my note, ‘I’LL SEE YOU LATER :D’”  After she sent the message, she put her phone away and got to work.  The faster I finish, the faster I can go home and be with her.

               Feet perched up on the coffee table, Alex continued to scroll through the channels that Max had available on her tv.  Finally finding the HGTV channel, she laid even further back into the couch.

               Ten minutes had passed, and she remembered that she still had a box from when she went to Natalie’s house.  Nat had said that it was stuff that Max had apparently put in the boxes on accident and Nat didn’t want to “have them anymore.” 

               Grabbing her keys and walking towards the door, she decided to go bring the box inside, thinking that she would forget about it by the time Max gets home, whenever that would be. 

               Plopping the box down onto the bed, Alex sat down right next to it.  She contemplated whether to open it and take everything out since Nat had said it was mostly clothes.  The least Alex could do is try to make the clothes as less-wrinkly as possible, seeing as the box did sit in her car for about a week and a half. 

               She laughed to herself as she pulled out only six flannels from the box.  Sighing as she laid them out, she accidentally knocked the box over trying to flatten some of the flannels out.  As she walked over to the box, she noticed something had fell out of it.  Crouching down to get a better view of what it was, she picked up an extremely tiny box.  She opened it and gasped immediately. 

               It was a ring.

               Questions raced around Alex’s mind.  One of them was planning on proposing to the other?  Or did one of them propose, the other said no, and that’s why they broke up?  Then it occurred to Alex that she didn’t even know why Max and Natalie broke up in the first place.  All she knew was that Nat had managed to find someone, that someone being Chris, rather quickly after the breakup.  She found that strange in itself seeing as the relationship she just got out of lasted three years and she moved on to an entirely new one. 

               Maybe she’d ask Max what exactly went down when she got home from work.  Well, how would she bring that up into a conversation?  Hey so I was taking your clothes out of a box that your ex said wasn’t hers and I stumbled upon what looks like an engagement ring and I realized that I don’t know why you and my sister broke up so…? 

               Maybe not that.  She put the ring back in the box and the flannels on top of it.  Maybe if Max saw the ring for herself, the break-up story would emerge, and Alex would finally understand.  She went back to the couch to lie down.  She might just need energy for later if she were to take everything in.  That is, if Max were to tell her what went down that night.

               Around four hours later, she received a text from Max saying she was on her way home.  Alex panicked.  She felt the need to go look in the mirror and see if she looked appropriate. 

               Appropriate?  She’s been home all day.  If anything, her looking like a slob would look appropriate.  She decided to fix her hair into a cute braid and tie up the shirt with one of the rubber bands around her wrist.  By the time she had sat back down on the couch after making herself look “better,” Max had gotten home.

               Max walked through the front door with bags in her hand, and Alex shot up to go and help her.  She grabbed the bags from Max and went to place them on the counter, realizing it was some kind of Italian food based on the smell that was emitted from the bags.  She turned around to face Max.

               “I was hungry on my way home and was in the mood.  Don’t judge me.”  Alex raised her hands, saying she would never, and they both laughed.  Max, after placing down her other belongings, walked over to the counter and took out the excess food.  “I might have gone a little overboard now that I’m looking at it all.”  Alex just nods.

               The two sit down at Max’s table and eat, surprisingly, a majority of the food while they talk about their day.  When they had finished what they decided was the end of dinner, Alex remembered about the box.  “Oh!  I forgot to tell you something somehow over the course of the past two weeks,” she laughs at herself.  “When I went to Nat’s house to drop her stuff off, she went through the boxes to see if she got everything and noticed that you, probably, accidentally put some of your stuff in the boxes.  So, she filled up a box and gave it back to me to give back to you.  I remembered I had it earlier today, so I just put it on your bed,” she said, while gesturing towards the bedroom.  Max nodded and, after throwing all the dirty plates away, went to her room to investigate. 

               Alex stayed in the living room, but she could hear Max saying things like, “So that’s where this flannel went!” and she couldn’t help but giggle softly to herself.  She opted to get up and go watch Max find her lost pieces of clothing. 

               When she walked into the bedroom, she found Max standing still, holding something small in her hand.  That’s when Alex remembered the ring.  She asked Max if she was okay, but Max stayed silent.  Alex walked over to her and put her hand on her shoulder.  Max sighed heavily.

               Max explained what it was and why Natalie had it in the first place.

"Hahaha. A friend pointed this out. W online shops too!" What does this even mean?! I don't know anyone in 2020 who doesn't online shop besides my 80 year old grandparents because they refuse to learn how to use a computer 😂 I don't get how Will, a 30 something year old man, online shopping is worthy enough for Abby to comment on it. I'm sure Chris does it too. And Darren.

On Nov 5, Darren wrote this post and the cc fandom lost their shit.    

They decided that organizing 10 costumes for multiple events in two different states for two different people was not worthy of acknowledgment- especially since they wore several purchased costumes. They spent the next 30-ish days mocking her “online shopping skills” like the petty idiots they are and now they bring it up two months later. 

Anonymous asked: this is funny, C posted a photo of beard, D posted photos with the beard. Almost like they were sitting next to each other and saying “ok ok I will say this”

ajw720 answered: The only difference, C controls his SM and the bearding, D does not, but they knew the Halloween post was coming when C posted his belated b-day wishes (not that he acknowledged they were late).  

It really is, if you can remove the very human, tragic element, like a script for a really bad D Movie.  C posts “Happy Birthday, Babe!” a day after the man’s actual b-day and “D” praises his fake bride for MAKING TEN costumes.  Sure praise her if she actually designed them and sat with her sewing machine.  No, she went online and ordered things (I doubt she even went to a store).   And 3 couple costumes were cheap frankly.  The only thought was how narcissistic she could be in their execution (as @flowersintheattic254pointed out even the Mario costume had  a reason, it was a reminder of Japan and the fake encagement by referring to the ad that paid for their trip there).

And seriously how are people not questioning that she spent the entirety of her month picking TEN costumes?  Who has time for this?  I know, i know, a person whose only role in life is to play fake plus one.

I am just so tired by D in particular being utterly dragged down by the useless dead weight by his side and his team’s sole ambition to promote her and make her sound like a decent person.  

If they wanted to praise her, maybe they should have forced her to participate in the zero waste initiative instead of sitting drinking by the pool or have her volunteer to help young girls who have been kicked out of their homes, or have been raped.  Or pick any cause and truly volunteer her time to promote it.  If she is not going to actually get a job and pursue a career, please force her to do something that is actually of value and contribute something good to the world. But to praise her for picking TEN costumes?  

Praise that comes from a man who this year alone won three awards, is starring in a show he created and wrote the music for, has his first big movie premiere this week, is exec producer and star of a huge show on N/etflix, just announced his starring role with 2 A++ lists actors next spring on Broadway, celebrated the 5th anniversary of the festival he created, volunteered his time for the zero waste initiative, performed at several charity events, and was just yesterday name limited series actor of the decade.  Where is the praise for him from his “bride”?  He at least deserves it.

How do they not see how ridiculous it is for someone with D’s accomplishments in 2019 alone praise a person for purchasing TEN costumes for Halloween?  And stans, how do you accept that this is right or normal.  You really know nothing about him and have such little respect for him as a person if you continue to accept the character his idiotic team has created on his behalf.  It is so far from the person he is and that he generally holds himself out to be when given the opportunity.  

This isn’t about being a “gay fetishist” or “hating woman” this is about wanting for D to be fairly and accurately represented and no longer forced to participate in this stupid, life sucking game to promote a person that contributes absolutely nothing to the world.  If you want to have a strong female role model, there are so many, i’ve talked about a few in the past few days (thus far Nancy, Lea, and Phoebe) and will continue to do so, but please stop worshiping a person whose sole reason you are speaking about her is her connection to D, even if you refuse to accept it is fake.  

klainecentric Finished reading the funniest ig story of the day, the qween being praised for sitting in front of either a sewing machine or computer...bravo your majesty qween....your my hero well done.👏👏. And all I can think of is how irrelevant the statement D made about being an emotional horder, being a very private person and finally D saying he's lazy when it comes to social media, I'm internally screaming in frustration because yeah we know D wouldn't have written a post praising that lazy good for nothing waste of space but he's coming across as a lier and it's extremely damaging to his character as a person. I absolutely hate lying and every time another "private" moment is posted to the world is another small piece that's chipped away from what D has originally stated about privacy. PBB, nobody cares about your cheap arse highly flammable costumes you buy online, did you forget about your piano baby adult strip club. I'm sure there are still plenty of people out there you can hire to rub and flaunt their flanges all over the beer taps, why don't you keep busy on that instead. If you want to make costumes, I'm sure you can sew some mighty fine titty tassels together. It'll be cheap nasty, sound familiar.

souly So, let me get this straight. We should all praise a person for going online, looking up different costumes in online stores, putting those in their shopping basket and hitting “buy”? Because I do that at least once a week with other stuff. Do I get praised for that now? Pretty please? I’m doing good work there and buy a lot of stuff, therefore I must be the best person ever!

notes-from-nowhere You’re my Queen. Please, love me.

souly

(I think I got it right. I’m getting the hang of what said person is doing. Wheee! ;))

notes-from-nowhere You nailed it 🤣

ajw720 Yesterday I got a delivery of car food. And instead of his usual seafood mix up greats, I got him shrimp flavor. I’m awesome!!!!!

souly Oh, hey! I think we should all take pictures of whatever we bought online during the week or month and make individual posts on all of our social media accounts about it. Because, you know…

cassie1022 I picked up stuff I ordered online at Target and PetSmart. Does that count? Should I receive accolades because my cat will have fresh litter to do her business on?

souly Only if you post the pictures to prove it! ;)

ajw720 As soon as I get home. Pictures forthcoming. Shrimp cat treats and I also got a burgundy blanket for my new comforter!!! Life goals!!!!!!!!!!!

souly Okay, so, let’s see… What did I buy online during the past month that can be shared as pictures? Some things are gifts, so I obviously can’t post anything about those yet. But I think these here are safe.

Let’s start with one of my fav new shirts. (Excuse the grainy quality. I had to quickly edit it for privacy reasons. :p And yes, that’s a butterfly mirror.)

The rest are behind the cut to save your dash from drowning in too many pictures. ;)

cheekyface72 You’re my queen from now on…

ajw720 I think emmy/sag/gg/CC winner DC should write a post @soulypraising your awesome, amazing, unparalleled online shopping skills!  You earned that praise.  That cat toy is particularly spectacular.

flowersintheattic254. When you add the fact that the wedding was sponsored so heavily, and her history of outfits I think it shows Mi@rren is something that’s always been done very much ‘on the cheap���.

From work vacays (honeymoon included), RC ‘glue gun’ looks, thrift shoes and subsidized weddings.

It’s BUDGET BEARDING!!!

leka-1998. It’s not worth more than this, that’s for sure.

notes-from-nowhere  We are so ungrateful. She worked hard to find the gloves.

I bet she had to click on another link to find them. She deserves another accolade.

ajw720 @flowersintheattic254 Budget Bearding!  I LOVE It! (and something tells me D’s SW costume in particular was far cheaper than either of these).

souly That Snow White dress can be found for about $25 in a ton of online shops. I stumbled upon it even before Halloween way too many times. 😂

@notes-from-nowhere The plush question mark block can be found in a couple online stores like this one. She simply glued it onto some gloves - or asked L to do it with that glue gun of hers.

flowersintheattic254 Well funnily enough I think we may have confirmation that 🚽🚽 glued on the puppies so I guess YES to the question mark block too!!!

cassie1022 They can’t even glue things properly. Why am I not surprised?

So, so amazing. Bow to the kween and her not so helpful helper.

Anonymous asked:

Whenever I see miarren gifset they always use the same quote underneath (the rolling the windows down quote) and at first I rolled my eyes and thought uh not that quote again, and I can't believe it took me this long to realise it's because there is literally no other quote that can be construed as loving. You can hardly put down "she's a big girl" whenever you make a set of gifs with M beaming and D looking like someone murdered the dog he's allergic to.

ajw720: And I love the Emmy quote as it was an absolute reference to his character who was a psychopath. Pretty telling if you ask me. But that reference is over their heads.

And pretty much the only one. Guess saying he’s a ball and chain kind of guy isn’t romantic. They can’t even take pooping exes as he clearly steered the conversation away from her. Lovely lady of many moons? Nah she sounds like a stranger. Saying nothing changes after marriage? Sounds boring. It’s a struggle. But hey she’s an excellent online shopper that he done got hitched to!!!

[okayhadley-blog]

hadley ruiz, froy gutierrez, seventeen, cismale, he/him, zeus  (mark, 22, he/him, est)

this is gonna be bad........ my brain shut off approximately 2 hrs ago but i wanna get this intro up!!

okay so his app is here / pinterest board here / about page here.

i label him as a functional gay only because he’s constantly bouncing between distinguished gay and disaster gay

i would probably put him as a neutral good because while he is a Chaotic™ person, morally he does believe in right and wrong and is constantly Doing His Best, it’s just not always by..... following the rules.... 

hella abandonment issues, completely undeserved inferiority complex

between his mortal parents and zeus, zeus is the least shitty so like...... let’s talk about that for a second

that being said, hadley spent the first three years at camp in the hermes cabin bc zeus didn’t claim him until he had to, after the second titan war (thanks percy!) so..... rlly just not good with Any of his parents

hadley only knew luke for a few months but he rlly looked up to him and was devastated when he betrayed the greeks

major spoilers for trials of apollo: the burning maze if u click this link !!  if you don’t want spoiled:  a camper he was really close with died and it hit him hard but he’s not good at talking about that kind of stuff

anyway personality stuff ig

he’s a big people person and loves to surround himself with friends because he hates being alone and really just doesn’t do well in solitude!! 

he’s emotional and tries his best to like.... curb that but his heart is on his sleeve :/ what can u do?

he’s very honest, sometimes to the point of being blunt.  a lazy perfectionist.  a tense person but he is, shockingly, capable of letting loose.  

he’s really just...... hadley really is just trying his best to Be A Pal to everyone around camp because if he focuses on everyone else then he doesn’t have time to deal with his own problems!!! which is a mood, buddy

his weapon of choice is a fuckin sword and he’s gr8 at it

hadley has been a year round camper since he got here at age 11, so he’s been living at chb full time for six years

he’s a big history buff, especially when it comes to demigod history and where demigod history intersects/influences supposed mortal history

oh my god i’m so wiped this is garbage i’m really sorry!!! y’all deserve a better intro

some character parallels i wrote that i have no idea are still valid: liam dunbar, harvey kinkle, barry allen, wade watts, joe mcalister, nicky hemmick

also i’m trash with plots and connections but i’m always DTB (down to brainstorm) and if you see hadley fitting any of your wanted plots/etc., please hit me up!!!!

Talent Over AI: Which Fast Food Chain’s People Will Outperform Automation?

I was driving back from vacation last week and saw the scene pictured below in a routine McDonald’s – many of you have seen the same thing, right?  Take a look (email subscribers click through to see the IG post below) and we’ll break it down after the jump:

So here we are.  You’ve stopped into a McDonald’s and you’re presented with the option of using automation to order and pay, or to speak with a live human.  What you do next squarely depends on your take related to the human behind the counter.

If you traditionally like the experience with the human, you’ll go that way.  If you’ve routinely been disappointed or underwhelmed, you start humming Mr. Roboto and maybe even make eye contact with the counter person while you’re using the automated display.

In an ironic and somewhat evolution-based twist, the person behind the counter is likely rooting for you to take the automation option.  That’s shortsighted for obvious reasons, but that’s the scene, right?

Which brings me to the big question for today’s post:

Which Fast Food Chain’s People Practice Has a Shot at Outperforming Automation Over Time?

Not an easy question, right?  To outperform automation, the human talent present at any fast food chain will need to provide service and revenue opportunities which drives brand loyalty and is clearly linked to business results.

We’ve all seen the eager counter person at McDonald’s who surprised and engaged us – but that’s not the norm.  To outperform automation over time, the experience for consumers has to be consistently excellent.

That means the list is short.  Here’s what I have.

Likely to outperform automation and keep live humans:

1–Chick-fil-A – Seriously, what did you expect?  For my friends in the NE and West that don’t have a lot of opportunities to experience CFA customer service, it’s stellar.  It’s so stellar as a matter of fact that I once watched a Chick-fil-A counter beside a Taco Bell counter at the Hoover Galleria and had to stay for 30 minutes because the contrast was so real.  I felt like an anthropologist.

I don’t have a lot of information on the hiring process at Chick-fil-A, but let’s be clear.  They eliminate bad or even average eggs in their hiring process like I knock back coffee and Diet Mt. Dew, which is to say early/often/consistently and without discretion.

Chick-fil-A is a monster at hiring people who give quality service.  A good parenting question is this – do I think my kid is nice enough to get hired at Chick-fil-A?  If the answer is “I’m not sure”, you better start spanking the hell out of your kids now.

PS – I’m neutral on Chick-fil-A food and I’m aware of their past stance on gay rights.  You can hate the food and/or the stance, but the service is above reproach.  So much so that I got a bad counter person on the road a month ago and I was like, “How did this person get through?  Should I email the CEO?”

That’s how hard-wired the service expectation is.

2–No one else – As our POTUS would note, sad!

Unlikely to outperform automation and keep live humans:

1 through infinity–Everyone else – I’m looking at you, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Burger King and everyone else.

I get it – labor costs money.  So does training and high-end selection systems.  But how can Chick-fil-A get it so right and nobody else follows suit?

3 words: CULTURE IS HARD.  So is franchising, yo.

A small chance to outperform automation and keep live humans 10 years from now:

1–Fast Casual Chains like Moe’s and Chipotle that are at least somewhat high touch when it comes to food prep – Shops like Chipotle are considered fast-casual restaurants, meaning they offer a mashup of the convenience of a fast food chain and the quality and atmosphere of a casual, sit-down restaurant.  But many of us have come to consider them in the same choice stream as fast food, so I’ll include them here as well.

I’m on the record for evaluating the sincerity of the mandatory “Welcome to Moe’s” call I get when I enter the door.  Customization of food while you watch has a better chance to prevent automation through high touch/high-end service, but only if these type of fast-casual chains invest in the hiring process to the extent that Chick-fil-A has.

The robots are coming, my friends. The only thing that can stop it in fast food is if you enjoy/value the human interaction enough to demand it or avoid automation options presented.

Hit us in the comments with chains we haven’t considered that have a chance to ward off automation as a result of their kick a## people practices.

Summary:

Louis could not help but wonder if Harry was wearing any underwear. He overheard some kids discussing that it seemed he was not. He still has not answered Harry’s question and just looked at Harry’s groin. Harry caught his gaze and he just wanted to be swallowed by the bus right now. He started blinking rapidly as if it would save him from embarrassment .

“I’m not” Harry said

“I’m sorry?”

“You were wondering if I’m wearing underwear”

“Did I say it loud?” He’s pretty sure if he has not blushed before, he was now.

“No boo. It shows in your eyes” Then Harry fucking Styles winked at him.

How can this boy wonder just read what’s on his mind? Bloody mind reader!

“I’m not gay!” What the actual fuck? Why did he just say something stupid?!

Notes:

This was my futile attempt of creating something I want to read myself. The only reason I was able to have courage to write this was because of a friend I met in IG. She is very special and I hope her dreams come true. For @Only_larry_can .

Chapter 1: Jacked Up

Louis was browsing his twitter account for the past hour searching for an inspiration for his essay in Modern English Literature. He has been procrastinating and now the thought that he was cramming for this damn project was ludicrous. Cramming for him meant the project was due the following week. He does not have ADHD as what almost all the millennials claim they have whenever they lose focus and could not concentrate on one task or follow instructions all at the same time. Right now though, he wanted to claim as though he has one. He could not think, focus, and would really kill to have an In- N- Out Burger at 12:30 midnight on a Thursday no less.

So he decided to search on “Trends for you” and look at “moments”. When he got bored he just clicked on Entertainment and the image of Harry Styles just popped out. He swiped the link, watched videos and read comments. At this moment Louis was not the only one paying attention to Harry. Something down there was in full attention as well. He’s on his fourth year at the University, he had his shares of flings and girlfriends. Although he’s 21, he must admit that he has not really fallen in love. And now staring at this bloke and watching him sing a cover of Girl Crush was making him feel things he has never felt before.

“What the fuck?! Who is this guy?” Louis blurted out loud.

Louis typed Harry Styles on his search button in twitter and the latest comment he read was

@atlgababy “re-selling my GA ticket to the Atlanta concert, family emergency. I’m sad I can’t see my baby Harry :(“ DM me”

He immediately sent a message to get the ticket. He’ll worry about the plane ticket later on. He estimated a two hour plane ride and hotel would be inexpensive since he’s getting a GA ticket. He did not understand the spur of the moment decision.

“I guess I’ll continue this essay tomorrow”.

***

Louis was at the venue quite early after exploring the city for a little bit. There was a bit of commotion since he heard the venue oversold 2,000 tickets and a lot of fans were not happy. He was worried for teeny tiny bit at first but since he was early he was confident he will be let in. Louis was observing all the crowd and majority of them were girls, he noticed it seemed they did not know each other prior to this concert but looked like they were already friends. He saw a little kid with a rainbow cape and a pair of rainbow shorts to match it. Clearly this was a safe place for the LGBT community.

Louis has been to concerts a few years ago and it did not feel like this. He felt he was suffocating. Harry was more beautiful in person, he just wanted to savor this moment and appreciate whatever this feeling Harry elicited in him. In the middle of a song he does not know the title yet, he felt light headed. Like he was about to throw up. He just fainted and felt gentle hands helping him, then he totally passed out.

***

It was dark when Louis woke up. Totally clueless where he was. He started blinking rapidly trying to focus and say he needed water. Then the lights turned on.

“Hi! How are you feeling? Do you need water?” Harry handing him water.

Louis could not speak. It’s either from shock or he was just really thirsty. He took the water and drank it.

“Thank you, where am I?’

“You’re in my tour bus. I wanted to bring you to the hospital but my staff said you needed to rest you might just be dehydrated. So did you enjoy the show? At least the few songs you saw? What’s your favorite?”

He’s so chirpy for someone who performed more than 10 songs at his concert.

Louis could not help but wonder if Harry was wearing any underwear. He overheard some kids discussing that it seemed he was not. He still has not answered Harry’s question and just looked at Harry’s groin. Harry caught his gaze and he just wanted to be swallowed by the bus right now. He started blinking rapidly as if it would save him from embarrassment .

“I’m not” Harry said

“I’m sorry?”

“You were wondering if I’m wearing underwear”

“Did I say it loud?” He’s pretty sure if he has not blushed before, he was now.

“No boo. It shows in your eyes” Then Harry fucking Styles winked at him.

How can this boy wonder just read what’s on his mind? Bloody mind reader!

“I’m not gay!” What the actual fuck? Why did he just say something stupid?!

Comments: This is just boring. How shocking. A tribe does a challenge. Also, it's unrealistic. It seems like they won. But they went to tribal? What the fuck? That makes no sense. I wanted to get to know your tribe and I don't know anything about you. How does Adam prepare his rice? How does Peih-Gee wash her clothes. Let me dig deeper into the souls of your tribe. This sucks.

What I got from it is that yall are just a bunch of blood thirsty idol searching animals with no THRIVE to make any real connections. I low key still like the order and way yall did this tho so ill give yall a 8.

Storyline: 7/15 Like I previously said, this is pretty much a copied formula of a survivor episode. Then again were in tumblr survivor. Ill give this a 7 cause there isn't much you can do with this and yall tried.

Quality: 5/5 All the gifs were HD and in 1 solid line. It also didnt require me to go through the work of clicking on each individual one so im happy. I can respect that so ill give this an 5.

Ok guys, I commend you for actually taking the task you were given and doing what you thought would make you win. While some of the images would not load all the way for me, I will not fault you at that because I still got a basic understanding of the day your tribe went through today. However, I was a bit confused on who actually won the challenge as it showed happy faces up until the tribe goes to tribal so there is some errors in the storyline that needed to be changed or explained a bit more with possibly different gif choice following the challenge. The gifs themselves, yes they told the story of the day in a basic way, but they left much to be desired from them which in turn let your storyline suffer and for that I can not grade you any higher. In the future, try to remember that this is a fun challenge and that not everything should be so cut and dry like your actual literal day in the survivor world, if that makes sense?

Ok at first I appreciated the links but as I continued the story, I just was getting tired of all that clicking so next time maybe make a tumblr post or imgur folder so we can easily scroll through the story without having to make frequent pauses. Your storyline was more of the behind the scenes story which I really enjoyed as most players that are given this challenge do what the actual literal comp is. Your tribe showed the back story and the feelings and emotions (ps im the fight over what was it… one grain of rice? genius) and so I felt like I really got to know who you were as a tribe more than I was able with Parvati. I did have to knock down your storyline a tad bit because honestly, I had no idea what the fuck Regan was doing there. Was she Whitney…? Was she entire Parvati tribe winning..? Someone get me a wiki section on this as soon as possible please. Also speaking of Whitney… Does she actually exist and is ok with everyone theoretically voting her out or… idk yall got me fucked up. Loved it tho!

Total: 30/35

Overall Total: 107/140

So with that said, NuParvati, you are going to another tribal. Good luck. Your votes are due tomorrow, February 21st, at 9:30pm EST
