I get liking the joke of "if we wanted people to buy Barbie not being pretty, casting directors shouldn't have gone for Margot Robbie". It's funny. The narrator's delivery of it is really clean. It's the kind of jab I'd lean over to my sibling and make, which is precisely why I waffled on whether or not i liked it for so long. But tbh, the dig completely sucks the air out of an emotional moment (that Margot Robbie and America Ferrera are killing btw) and, more importantly, it misses the whole point. As America/the mother's whole speech delivered mere moments later gets at, being a woman is being held to an impossible standard: you're never enough. It doesn't matter how skinny you are, you're made to feel fat. It doesn't matter how many smart you are, you're made to feel stupid. It doesn't matter how well you do your job, you're made to feel a fraud. Even woman who look like they've got it all put together - the business owners, the beauty models, the doctors and lawyers - can't win because the goal post is always moving. Because they can smile more, can't they? Be better at makeup, or dress more flattering. Be more clever with their words or actions. Be more and more and more. It doesn't matter where you're at, the goal post is always twenty yards ahead.
So i wish they'd just left that scene as it was. Let professionally made-up, stunning Margot Robbie say, "I'm not pretty" with no setup for a quick punchline. Let the audience question how that can't be right - that Margot Robbie is classic Holywood beautiful. Keep the close-up on Margot's face of utter despair because, yes, even she's been made to feel like she's not pretty.
#honestly im sick of media being afraid of sincerity#like i get it its a gamble here#its easy for people to make fun of this take#but damn you don't have to undercut such a good poignant scene with a simple joke like this#and i do like the narrator!#shes got fun snarky commentary#which again! is my style!#just let this serious moment sit#barbie#barbie 2023#the barbie movie#like the humor in this movie is great#I just wish they'd let this one be#cuz they're not afraid to get serious at other points?#idk it's weird

Do you think Solomon goes through periods where he feels he needs to withdraw from MC a bit? Like, imagine an mc who's hard to crack and doesn't trust humans. But did fall for Solomon at some point after much effort from him. And then he feels... Nope this is too serious for me I can't take it. I think Mammon will also be like that, as if he can't get close without feeling the need to run away. Actually now that I think about it almost all the characters can be afraid of being emotionally vulnerable lol. So no point in this ask, but I will send it anw cuz it's been awhile since I've the shroom! -🍄
Hello my friend, I am always pleased to see your shroom in my ask box!
And I have to say that I agree with this! Some characters open up a little easier than others, but I definitely see Solomon as possibly needing some space.
It's the thing where he jokes about how much he loves MC or he says something about how MC will never be only his, you know? He already has that insecurity before MC even falls for him at all. So when they finally do, even if they tell him that they love him, he might get nervous and try to distance himself. It's a defense mechanism because he would be afraid that MC would change their mind or realize they're better off with the brothers or something along those lines.
This is the kind of thing that I think requires communication and trust in a relationship. Solomon needs MC to reassure him and MC needs Solomon not to retreat from them. If they can talk it out, they can work on it together and make their relationship stronger.
To me, Mammon is very like this in the beginning. It's almost the opposite of Solomon. Where Mammon has a hard time accepting his feelings before anything has even happened. But the more MC reassures him, the more confident he gets. And I think he eventually gets to the point where he can be honest with MC, though only in private.
Well, anyway, that's just my take on it lol!
#they're both silly and I love them#but really yes I think all the characters have a lil something they gotta work through#obey me#obey me solomon#obey me mammon#🍄 anon#misc answers

man, i have so many thoughts about qfoolish. he's just a silly little goofy guy but then when you peel away the first layer that you see of him and realize that he's rather a complex character. I feel like he's such a different type of character than what is usually shown. (and honestly, it's something that brings me a lot of comfort as i relate quite heavily to his very laid back nature that people will sometimes take as being unserious or even uncaring) Warning, this gets long (like 2.2k long to be exact) lol and i ramble a lot- also, disclaimer for my own sanity: this is an analysis of the characters! i adore any of the creatures mentioned here so please don't take any of this as a negative view on them! :D
Foolish's motivations are just very different than what typically motivates a character forward and in some sense it's really easy to skew what you think about him. As in, it's really easy to misinterpret his character i think. He express himself in a different way than i think most people are used to. He laughs in serious situations and is constantly just joking around. I think this causes people to think he cant/wont ever be serious, but the thing is that he's perfectly capable of being serious when he needs to be. For example, if he thinks that he and Leo are going into a serious situation, then he tells her to put her armor on. Really, just anything involving Leo he makes sure to be serious if the situation calls for it. Or like, fighting in dungeons only if he deems it dangerous enough to take seriously. but like, if he doesn't think a situation calls for it, then he just continues to be his goofy self. And sometimes when the situation calls for it, he is just in between those two points in a way that others aren't. He's just not afraid to joke around even when the situation seems dire (cellbit's kidnapping and rescue comes to mind. like, he played such a large role with his symmetry wand, but despite all the serious moments going on,, he was still just a goofy guy).
And one thing about him being so silly all the time is that even the other members on the island sometimes get a misconstrued picture of what they think foolish's goal and wants are. I think in some sense it's true to say that what motivates his wants is what the value of something he perceives is. For example, the sunbird he only wanted because of how cool it sounded and how rare it was. The cloud he wants because its something unique and useful. He wants Cucurucho's friendship because that's something no one else has and Cucurucho has access to items and is powerful.
But these wants aren't the most necessarily the most important things to him. Their something he has interest in, yes, but they're not more important than say his friends and family. Which, i feel like some people might not recognize about him. After all, he is constantly talking about wanting a cloud or how he'd have no issue in killing Bad (and holy shit is landduo and their relation something i could go on about for a whole more hour cuz there's so much there)
Because one vital thing that's so *so* important to recognize is that Foolish is very possibly one of the most loyal people on the island. And despite all of his flaws, he would never really want to truly hurt those he cares about. He is loyal to the people he cares about to an absurd amount. I think it's very clear to see his devotion for Vegetta and his adoration for Leo, but his loyalty also applies to his friends on the island. He would never *intentionally* want to harm anyone he cares about. I don't think some people understand that Mr. Mustard fell under that category as someone he cared about. The entire reason Cucurucho was able to lure him into accepting the mission It gave him is because it brought Mr. Mustard's name into the mix. It told Foolish that Pac and Mike were the ones responsible, and with nothing better to do, Foolish set out to complete this task.
To talk more about the recent events with him arresting Tazercraft: he would never truly want to harm or hurt them. However, when you're looking at the grand scheme of how things went down, he was manipulated and really had no other choice. Sure, he seemed to enjoy arresting them at first, but the thing is I don't think he really processed or even thought about how this action would be received by others. To him, arresting Pac and Mike sounded like enough fun, and it was coming from Cucurucho (who he's wanting to be friends with for actual months now, and Cucurucho literally called him friend in the book it handed to him) and being arrested sounded like something he'd enjoy. Again, like something *he'd* enjoy and that he therefore thought Pac and Mike would enjoy.
You have to realize, Foolish doesn't have the same perspective on these serious situations as some others do. And the thing is that he judges how others react based on how he would react to them. So, in that sense, he views being kidnapped/arrested as a good and fun thing! he even said today on stream, "apparently when you arrest someone, others won't find it funny". it might have just been one line, but in my eyes this gives a really clear insight into his character. To him, arresting Pac and Mike was only a positive thing because it would help him find his friend and it could be a fun event for them. His friend that he was told, by cucurucho, that had disappeared because of Pac and Mike. Foolish doesn't hold any ill intent, but that doesn't necessarily come across in others view of him. Although it might not be clear, he cares about Pac and Mike. Today he even expressed worries about them and said that he still considers them his friends (even though he's aware that they might not share those feelings about him anymore). He doesn't know about their past traumas, to him this was just a fun little event that would be fun for both them and him. When first accepting Cucurucho's mission to him, I'd say he doesn't realize the consequences his actions would have. That by arresting Pac and Mike, it'd leave the other members of the server doubting him and mistrusting him. That others would be angry at him for something that he hadn't realized the gravity of.
(just random thing i want to say here: honestly, if Foolish had any malicious intent towards Tazercraft, he could have easily made their arrest go unnoticed for at least a few days. just think about it: if he had said that the surprise he had was just for the two of them. if Jaiden hadn't accompanied them as a witness. people wouldn't of known then what happened to them, but the thing is that he wasn't thinking in this way because he would never seriously want to harm them. he even wanted Jaiden there as a witness)
I think he realized the backlash of his actions in the Favela when everyone seemed to swarm him and then when he got interrogated. In which, he never really lied. All things considered, Foolish is a rather honest guy. I'd even say that he almost never lies. Like, if he's trying to hide the truth about something, he often times will find a way to skirt around the question without lying. Like, just looking at the mess that was the interrogation yesterday (/lh) you can see that he doesn't ever actually lie. He just blabbers a bunch of nonsense and skirts around the issue without ever revealing anything. The issue arises when you look at the lie he did tell.
for those that don't know, Foolish gave Jaiden a rundown of what happened before arresting Tazercraft. and in this he tells her that Cucurucho gave him the option to either 'arrest Pac and Mike' or to 'kill Richarlyson'. Not even going to lie, when he said this is took me (and i think all of stream) off guard. because Foolish practically never lies in that way and so blatantly. because this was just 100% untrue. However, it makes sense why he did it. At that point, he realized that people were going to keep badgering him on why he arrested Pac and Mike, but at the same time he knew they wouldn't take him telling the truth seriously. He may care about Mr. Mustard but the truth is that the other members don't hold those same thoughts towards most the Capybaras in general. Like, just look at Fit's interaction with him today. Foolish literally reiterated the truth of why he did it over and over again, but Fit didn't believe him even slightly. Foolish didn't lie once about his motivations and yet he was just not believed.
I think he realized at some point soon after arresting Pac and Mike that people weren't going to trust the truth. Not from his mouth at least. So he lied to Jaiden because it's a lie that people will easily understand. it's a choice they'd stop questioning him about. Again, he doesn't do this out of malicious intent but because it's something easier for people to understand and relate to. It's something they're not going to hound him about, not like they will when he tells them the truth. This lie is more easily digestible for the island members and it also brings Foolish less stress if they take this and believe it. Everyone is willing to make sacrifices in order to protect the eggs. And he had to of realized that Jaiden was going to tell other people. The islanders almost always spread these types of details to each other, that's just how it goes. Telling this lie to her in secret makes it all that more believable when she goes and tells some of the others about it later cuz it's something Foolish told her in confidentiality. To the other members, it paints foolish only in a good light. Of course he wouldn't have actually wanted to arrest Pac and Mike, he did it to protect Richas! and that's all it takes to stop them from getting angry at him. All things considered, it's a smart move to pull. Although, I do have to wonder how this will come to bite foolish in the butt. Because i can only imagine that it will be revealed eventually, some way or another.
From what i understood, Cellbit immediately dropped his anger on Foolish once he was told it was to protect Richarlyson. When Jaiden tells him this information he doesn't even thing to consider that Foolish could have lied. After all, why reason would anyone have to lie about that? In my mind, i can only imagine that the lie will protect him for now and in the short term, but once revealed that it's a lie, i think there will be some repercussions against Foolish for sure. Like, even Jaiden doesn't know that he's lied. Jaiden, whom he's been telling everything about. Jaiden who is only one (aside from Leo) who now knows of Foolish's secret detective role. Jaiden, whose the one he's told almost the entire truth to.
An interesting thing to note though, is that I think Foolish's decision to lie to Jaiden was still rather spontaneous. like, it's not something he thought too much about. it's a fib that makes his life a little bit easier (a little bit less lonely) and right now it doesn't seem to hold any repercussions. the interesting thing, though, is that he hasn't repeated the lie at any point in time. and like, he also hasn't done any lying to reinforce the lie he's told. it'd be so easy to paint a story that he's being blackmailed, but he just *doesn't* even though it's a lie he's made himself.
Foolish, all in all, is someone that just acts or speaks before really thinking too much about what he's doing. About the possible side affects of his actions. He just *does* them.
I think it also plays in very well with the idea that he's lived for thousands of years. the things that affect the typical mortal just don't phase him in the same way, not when he's viewing everything as an adventure or an element that is fun. i think that also taking into consideration that he's lived for such a long time, it's rather surprising how easy he is to manipulate. Because that is what Cucucrucho is doing, when looking at the whole picture. cucurucho holds a lot of power and we all know that it easily could have arrested Pac and Mike without the intervention of Foolish. So why make him do it anyways?
Well we don't know that for sure, but we can make some guesses. To sow distrust between the members. To see how far Foolish was actually able and willing to go for the Federation. To place blame on someone aside from itself. All possibilities.
Regardless, Foolish has played right into their hands. He's a silly guy that's gotten himself into a serious situation. One in which he might end up having to navigate alone because even though he has Jaiden he's still lied to her, and even though he has Leo, he would never want to put his daughter into harms way. He said something at the end of the stream about how this might just end up being a lonely road he's taking and i couldn't agree more.
Anyways, that's all i got for tonight as it's late and idk what im getting at here, i just think Foolish is really neat and wanted to attempt to put that into words. :D
#qsmp#mars rambles#foolish gamers#qsmp rambles#does this make any sense? im not sure#but i needed to write something because the foolish brainrot is real#character study#also this is just my thoughts so far and they might not be the most eloquent so sorry#also! i would love to hear if anyone else has any other ideas and interpretations of things :D#theres more i wanted to add but i could only write so fast unfortunately so i forgot some things i mightve been thinking#im really excited to see where the storyline takes foolish#and to see if he ends up digging his own grave :D

This is the law and order television program it is a complete preamble to the predator movie and some of them die in it are revived but they don't do well. They've gone down there to where they think they are a few times I can't find them and it really has not happened yet but there's evidence of odd things being there as if they were there. And a long time ago. There are several reasons for it happening when is they keep going down there and the second is someone gets a hold of the research and it's Tommy f and you got it from Justin in this particular show because of the lady and you're standing right there it's over ridiculous s*** again. They're having a fight over it and don't want him at the tech it's trying to hold his wife hostage and her son is saying why don't you point the gun at yourself it's a little weird but he's stopping cuz he thinks you might help him out and he'd have to shoot him if he could get to him so he started thinking about it and he starts in that Tommy and you'll see what happens this is how it goes the episode hasn't happened it happens and now no it happened earlier and Tony after doing research and he's screwing around with people he's making us make it stick in the Mac proper wanted and they're having this show up again and it means that it's coming up again and they're going down Mexico for the stashes and cashes and also they are going after these are looking ports but in Mexico it is the stashes and caches and there's a lot of them in the Eastern hemisphere as you said and it is here probably tomorrow morning at 4:00 a.m. well this morning at 4:00 a.m. the intend to blow about 10:00 today that are medium and they're going to try and blow too large those will actually send more over combined it will be 0.1 rad if it's only the five medium it will be 0.05 rad roughly and the wave from yesterday will be gone already and we are tracking the storm and the pseudo empire is under assault Stan is under assault and he's ridiculous and looks like an idiot because he's got his frontal lobe messed up and yeah he's not so bright there's some other things happening this guy next door is going to court on Monday in punta Gorda and again he's going to Port Charlotte in the afternoon and the crime should be coming more serious that he is going to court for both of them are felonies and you can go to prison and you should he started showing up as himself again and he's going to get the s*** kicked out of him and he's afraid of her son and her son doesn't even helped out yet we're going to have to get him out of here he's such a turd he's a loser but psychologist loser but all these retards are. We need a couple things out.
--her son had a tough day no it was not that bad he relaxed and hung out wrote some stuff for us did work found out more information and she did too that really helps a lot of it's about Tommy f and he is an obstacle to our son getting money to raise our armies and we are infiltrating at the same time to raise our armies and we have to get ready and we need the act that they're doing done and it is. And we do have a couple things
---these stashes and cashes in the Western hemisphere are surrounded and blocked John remillard can't access them but hopes for a Lucky strike his cities are blocked and it is up to those in the populace but they're leaving but still it makes more dangerous he says that's true he keeps on yelling and stuff at our kid. He says I think it all the time it's really easy cuz you and you're just stupid and he says what are you talking about I have tons of Truth and we have a lot more because of what you doing and so he says we don't know why they are so you're not supposed to so we're going ahead with what we're doing but in the last in the West not last that we are seeing about half of his bunkers are being attacked and more and more troops are going there tonight it's a lot not 30% roughly or 25% or empty defunct the security is not there but troops were arriving topside to battle and with the remaining 75% about 38% are under attack which is new at 30% is pretty high you started out two weeks ago and 3% and it's growing and growing and huge armies it's really not 38% it's 20% but usually they attack like 5% doesn't mean they'll get in it means it's lit to do it what they're doing in there applying it through the whole system of entry or exit and they are pouring it on at the stashes and caches at the nuclear bunkers they're about 28% out and they are applying about 20% of them will our having soldiers attack it is significant doesn't mean they'll get 20% of me and start attacking that percentage period they are also on the offensive and that's the trumps against the pseudo empire and it's about 70% or 60% them and the rest are bja and they're going after all their bases again and they're forces that big it never was yet and they're stupid they say we're taking you literally all this crap out of them see I think the wind they don't get it at all so we had something to learn how to clear and we've been doing it and also needed to show them the had to worry about it and try for it also we are in a mood to go after people here heavily you just a bunch of nannies lots of you and it's horrible but that's a lot a 20% and we do know that the army is the center being bolstered every hour
-the third thing is that the rings are under siege they shall be until the 31st we believe it will be right on the money and that's only 20 days away almost 3 weeks pretty much 3 weeks and that will be fighting like this the whole time they loaded up with another $5 billion and 1 billion and they'll be out and leadership is going to be at 14% And 20 but really by daybreak it'll be less that's going to continue to go down there's other things happening the max are at the cities and foreigners and us are surrounding them and going in and removing nukes because of their constant threats and they're trying to put them at the ships to threaten for them and they can't seem to figure out where to put them and they're not very good at it right now we are getting ready to attack them cuz they told us why they're doing that they said and we will attack them with gusto it's going on momentarily we have good reason to believe they intend to blow up the plug and drop nukes down in with three and debris and there's too much debris and too many nukes and there's too many nukes in the debris and it would ruin the ships and they don't care they say they're going to rule over the people top side with the hardware that they take and bja is for the plan and foreigners will get this and push them out as they need to be

Yeah idk man. Something about transition into the new year sends me into a massive depression. I'm 99% sure (now that this has happened for the past 2 new years) it has to do with being alone.
It's just infuriating at this point. I want to be in a relationship. I've done my time (almost 2 years of it) learning to be single and living with myself. I now can introduce a romantic relationship and at this point, I think it'll help my mental health.
The downside is it has to be a healthy one and that's hard to find these days, at least with my track record.
At this point I've done the meet cute of the friend of the friend in a bar. That ended horribly. I've done the casual meet the friend of the friend in a casual low key setting. That didn't go anywhere.
Now I'm placing my bets on a guy that lives across the ocean that we've had mutual feelings for each other for 10 God damn years but whenever we start talking serious, he disappears. It's always for a good reason but my thought process is "I get life is rough but like I'm still here? If you wanted to talk to me, you would." And now I'm starting to think it's a self (I guess duo) sabatoging for himself. Something he's wanted for so long is willing and able and he's no where to be found. I've always kept quiet whenever this happened before but now? Nah. Either buck up and figure out what he needs to do to fix this for himself or stop having me wait around for you.
Cuz realisticly my next step is dating apps. I've put it off long enough.
But then there's another fold to my anxiety.
I know for a fact that anyone I bring around, my brother will hate. He's never liked any of the guys I've brought around (which tbf they've all been horrible but still). And I know it's MY relationship not his but I spend a large amount of time with him and my sister in law so I'd like them to actually like the person I'm with. And I've heard how they talk about their friends significant others.
So i know if International Man does end up getting his act together and comes to visit, they're not going to like him. Not because he's a bad or annoying person but just because he's such a big risk. And I'm afraid that's going to cause another big rift between us again.
And then add in my delusions. I keep seeing tarot readings about finding my twin flame this year and that a new love introduced will be the one.
I just want it so bad. Especially with my brother getting married this year. It's one thing to go and see other weddings for random people but seeing the love between them happening in front of me is going to kill a piece of me if I'm not with someone at that point.
I'm tired of being the 3rd wheel to my brother and both of my beat friends relationships. Like they don't make it weird or uncomfortable or rub it in but it's just the fact that I'm clearly the out cast here. And it hurts and I'm tired of it.

Why I love my body but hate being fat
I feel like we all publicly support body positivity but secretly hate being on the chubbier side. And I want to talk about it today.
First off, I'm not ashamed or afraid of the idea of being a heavy person because I've been chubby almost all my life.
That said, I am neither normalizing nor validating nor glorifying being overweight because it has only brought me pain, both emotional & physical - so I don't actually support it.
After facing real medical consequences for my poor fitness, I made a definitive lifestyle change last to last year, shedding a record 20 kilos in just ten months. I reached the lowest weight I've been since my college days. My friends & family were thrilled to see this. So was I. They said I was looking so much better & happier ... and yes, frankly, I was!!
But what many people quickly shunned or discounted was the fact that I had a complete career break/sabbatical to make it work. I had dropped my work, fired my part-time clients, and solely focused on taming the scale.
People said they'd never be able to get such results alongside all the responsibilities & hustles that they had to do to survive. And it made my entire struggle look like a privileged kid's rectification of a mistake he should've never made in the first place.
What nobody acknowledged was that putting your entire life on pause while others around you race ahead, takes balls of steel. It takes guts. It takes deep thinking, prioritisation, and commitment.
But I get it. When it was time to go back to work last summer, the stress made me gain back some of that "cheddar," and I'm now in a bit of a struggle to cut back again. However, I'm confident that if I stick to my old strict regime, I'll be back in tip-top shape before the rains hit.
More to the point, one unhealthy emotion I caught myself having was that I've not been putting in all that effort for myself.
A lot of my motivation to literally run stems from anxiety. The anxiety of people pointing out the re-emerging dad bod, the belly, the tires, and the double chin. The anxiety of my dear ones asking if everything is okay.
I am quite literally running away from the idea of a fat person. Because ... I realise that I'm not actually ashamed of being fat. I'm just really damn tired of the assumptions it brings.
I'm tired of the assumptions it brings with itself, and frankly, all of them aren't even negative, they're just plain annoying.
First, fat people are supposed to not feel good about themselves. Because anytime someone complains about being fat, they're assured that "they still look beautiful," whereas that is seldom something we want to imply.
Second, when I was over 100 kgs, not a lot of people took me very seriously or made me feel like they do. Because fat people are rarely taken seriously. I was the stereotypical "funny brother" for girls. This isn't some toxic masculine Andrew Tate talk, it's the reality. As a fat boy, I was really never really respected.
When I lost the excess weight, I noticed a shift in people's tone & how they treated me. They listened and touched me more.
It was as if they'd just realised I was capable of walking on two feet like them. Like I was somehow worthy of attention. Whether you agree with me or not, I know for a fact that it did make both serious job interviews & flirting with my crushes a lot easier.
When I brought this up in a dinner conversation, someone insisted that I had gotten it all wrong. They said that it was more about me being confident and happier in my new body, which is what many people were noticing and reciprocating. They said my real & honest best friends & family had always loved me (and always will), no matter how I look or how much I weigh.
To put it simply, it was me who had recently joined my own fan club.
I didn't want to admit it but my friend was right.
Being healthy is good for us, mentally.
I did feel lighter. I did feel happier.
'Cuz no more sweat marks! No more being cautious about sitting on theme park rides and getting asked to leave because you can't fit in properly.
No more issues taking or appearing in selfies. No more sucking in my belly & struggling to wear my belt at job interviews.
NO MORE AVOIDING TREKS OR OUTDOORSY STUFF because I can now finally sprint & twist my body without chaffing my thighs red or puffing hard like I'm being choked.
Trust me, losing weight is the most satisfying & nearly ORGASMIC experience you can give yourself. It is worth all the hunger, restraint, discipline & physical turmoil you'll have to go through at the gym. It is worth every bit of it.
I treated myself better after coming out of the personal war. And like my pal said, maybe that just spilt over into how others approached me too.
This is beautiful but also instructional because it teaches us that a large part of our struggles with body confidence stems from shame.
Subtle SHAME that we think it'll invite from other people. Like the subtle shaming at parties and weddings and beach activities.
For example, many of us feel ashamed to take off our shirts at swimming pools because we know people will stare.
On that note, I also hate how people assume that girls have it worse. It's not a competition but nobody talks about how big of a nightmare it is for men. Chubby men who often get turned away on dating apps. Chubby men who often have to stand at the end behind someone else in group photos. Chubby men who must pretend to be comfortable in their bodies & look all chill about it but can never talk about how they really feel.
It's time to say the truth - Being fat (or too skinny) SUCKS ASS. To put it in Wolf of the Wall street style, I've been a fat man & a fit man, and if I was given a choice, I'd choose fit every time.
It has taken me so much time & practice to fall in love with myself. More so it has taken me 22 years to finally fucking respect myself.
And so I'm teaching myself to overcome the negativity. I refuse to let go of that self-respect just because part of me is still afraid of what other people think.
The toxic mindset that I'm trying to remove is thinking that other people's opinions define our real worth.
Remember this. You're worthy even when you're struggling. You're worthy even when you don't fully & honestly love yourself.
You can be fat or underweight, or be working on improving your health, and still love yourself all at the same time. They're not mutually exclusive states.
If anything, coming to terms with the realisation that taking care of your body will always be an ongoing conversation - like an eternal wave that dips & flows high - is probably the healthiest mindset shift you can make.
Your body is not glassware. You cannot mould it into one shape & then expect it to stay that way throughout your lifespan.
Your body is pottery. Your body is thick rain-smelling, semi-fluid mud being spun on a wheel every day. It will change constantly with every decision you take. It is a sum of your past choices but not a completely unfixable product until the very end.
On some days, it will bloat & make you feel miserable. On some days, it will shrink into place when you successfully skip those pizza slices & desserts a few times, and it'll make you feel good about yourself.
Realise that you are worthy on both types of days. And realize that it's human/normal to occasionally feel like you're not because maybe that's just your survival instinct pushing you to be the best possible version you know you can be.
I am learning to take care of myself because I have finally found the courage to admit that I like it. I like maintaining myself and I will no longer pretend that I don't care.
Yes, I liked the results it previously gave me. I got addicted to the gym lifestyle, the high of natural dopamine & serotonin release it offers me after sweating hard on the floor for an hour. And there's no going back. I will pull myself back into form every time I stray off the path (which I now know will happen often).
Self-care is not a one-time journey. You will constantly break out & make mistakes, have bad meals, or just become too forgetful & busy to care the same way. Where most of us go wrong is that once we realise we've lost the flow, we completely let go & let it become an entire streak.
We go back to feeling SO SORRY FOR OURSELVES, and this self-pity is what leads to the entire mess.
But people who understand how habits work know that consistency is an over-glorified myth. Humans don't work that way. We fall out of our habits from time to time. And we constantly need to check back in, which is OK.
Fat. Skinny. Bald. Hairy. Brown. White. Pimples. No pimples. Specs. No specs ... Wait, I'm not going to say we're all beautiful (ew) because that wasn't the point of this whole article. The point was to say that building your self-image is an uneven & never-ending process and you need to let the journey take its own course.
Know that even at your worst, lowest and I dare say, ugliest points in life, YOU ARE STILL WORTHY of love & respect.
Those are four words I wish someone told me when I was down.
So now I speak them out loud myself every morning. And for times when you don't have the strength, I'll say them for you, too.

Anyways, for the ask thing. Is show x movie done yet? I would LOVE to hear about it cuz I think it's a concept that should be explored more. Also because I like reading things like that. Also because I have a wip about it at one point. ANYWAYS please give because all of your aus are the most superior 🙏🙏🙏
SHOW × MOVIE FOR YOU TWO!!! (and some more lfdacbaak :]) i'll do a hc for each ninja and their counterpart :DD
• (this one doesnt count its just backstory aucufuafa) SxM happens bc S!Lloyd's oni/dragon powers kicked in and whoops!! wuh-oh!!! accidentally opened a portal to another realm!!!! ..oh its chill? its chill AND it has alternate versions of ourselves?? oh nvm this place sounds SICK
• S!Kai and M!Kai get along pretty well!! s!kai sometimes finds his counterpart pretty childish, but he cant judge him. he was like that once, too. and m!kai thinks s!kai is really awesome!! maybe he needs to lighten up a bit, but 100% a good role model/mentor!! co-cereators of the 'multi-versal Lloyd protection squad'. s!kai is ENAMORED by the fact that m!kai and his sister are twins. they are also. Very Competitive sugauwguaf. like i said, mentor/student dynamic with em :)
• S!Cole and M!Cole are also pretty alright with each other!!! they're both introverts so. they (affectionately) talk shit abt their teammates w one another. m!cole gets his counterpart into music, and s!cole does the viceversa with dancing!! also I like to think m!cole hasn't really processed his moms death yet so s!cole really teaches him to Stop Shoving His Grief aside and allow himself to mourn. less mentor/student and more father/son or older/younger brother for these two
• OKAY. MAYBE A CONTROVERSIAL TAKE. s!jay and m!jay do NOT get a long. or they get along the worst, at least. s!jay doesn't really like how his counterpart is all 'uwu softboy who loves nya and is too nervous to speak and also does Not know how to invent'. he even doubts that mf grew up in a junkyard. and the feeling is (kinda) reciprocated!! m!jay is pretty scared (and envious) of s!jay. 'he's with nya. he's so much more confident than me. he's amazing at building and inventing. i wish i could be more like Him'. they'd actually be pretty good friends if they just looked past one anothers flaws tho (very much reluctant mother goose being followed by a clingy gosling dynamic for them.)
• MMMM s!zane and m!zane are Complicated. on shows side, he doesn't really like how his counterpart makes his Nindroid-ness out to be... almost a joke?? idk. s!zane's kind of. Afraid of becoming like his counterpart, but at the same time he wants to help him realize that he's More than just a robot. he has a family, man. and a Soul. although, movie is actually pretty opposite!! i like to think m!zane was NOT created to protect those who cannot protect themselves, but to be an Actual son/experiment for Dr. Julien. he doesn't know why his counterpart is so stressed and serious all the time!! theyre Wild Teens!!! live a little!!!! (also very hard to name dynamic?? bit of mentor/mentee AND reluctant siblings mixed in there frfr)
• SLAMS FIST ON TABLE. S!NYA AND M!NYA ARE THE BWORSTIES (best friends/worsties.) they are seeing who has better control over water. they are comparing and helping each other through their trauma. they are fighting over who has the cooler brother. they vent to each other about how hard it is being the only Girl on the team. they're training with each other with Violent hand to hand combat. they are hugging and talking about how hard lifes been w/o ray and maya. they are insulting eachother. m!Nya is taking s!nya on a 2 am bike ride while s!nya is teaching m!nya how to ask jay out. dynamic is ABSOLUTE BESTIES WHO ALSO BITE EACH OTHER IF THEY GET TOO CLOSE <3<3
• and, of course, ops favorite(s); s!Lloyd and m!Lloyd!! getting their dynamic right out of the way by saying they aren't brothers- their Twins. absolute, familial TWINS. they are each others therapists who constantly tell one another that they work too hard. the both probably think their counterpart is cooler than them. idk when this takes place in time, but if its before tlnm, m!lloyd is AMAZED at how well s!lloyd takes the mass-bullying (shows unfortunately used to it from darkleys :[) but, if it's AFTER tlnm, the entire city goes WILD 'omg they're MULTIPLYING YESSS' also, they let themselves act like kids when around one another. they both had to grow up too fast for different reasons, but the fact that they can talk to someone who Actually Gets It helps a lot :) they also compare trauma loll
...oh, and here's a lfdacbaak hc for you!! (I did a whole post of em vv recently actually viaguagwig)
• after morro and nya, wu is the next one to figure out the new family cat is Lloyd. meow meow reacts everytime the word 'uncle' is occasionally thrown around, and lloyd always seems to somehow Find and Bring wu whatever he was looking for (smthn he did as a human, too :])
SORRY THIS TOOK A DAY HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT REGARDLESS GUSUAFUWF7WF

Enablers.
The bullet points of very general ideas I noodled with for wolkids AU (along with a tad bit of pregnancy choices talk) and maybe some screenshots below the cut.
Aeryn very much has never wanted to be pregnant. She's not afraid of it, just no desire to ever go through it. So when she finds out there's serious consideration of not going through with it. Adopting infants, small kids, pre-teens, adolescents, she's more than happy to do! But carrying? Hrm...
(And an adoption of one or two will happen anyway over time once Domesticity settles in.)
Thancred is...not happy that's an option she's considering; he's terrified but also excited by the idea of fatherhood, of family (especially after all his screw ups with Ryne, but also how they were able to fix much of that in the end). He'd rather keep it, but it's Aeryn's choice and he respects that. Still, it's a friction point for them.
Aeryn, being Aeryn, needs time to think about it and consider those options, especially since her partner's on a different page. After all she's got a bit of time to decide, right?
Doing everyday things together, things are a bit tense, and then Aeryn's like "Theoretically, if we were to have a baby, where would we want to raise them?" And they end up debating the merits and issues in the various regions of Eorzea.
(Aeryn vetoes Coerthas immediately. They think about the other city-states, but also the Politics given who they are; Mor Dhona's outside all of that but a rough frontier still. Thancred champions Sharlayan for educational opportunities, the space program, and how it's opened up to the outside since the Final Days and Aeryn agrees that'd be all right but you do realize Ameliance would decide she's Auntie, Thancred says it works cuz Fourchenault's kinda of like a dickish older brother, anyway.)
"Theoretical" what-if conversations keep happening as Aeryn "is still thinking about it" as days turn to weeks. By the time they get to discussing Names, Thancred's pretty sure she's made up her mind and just hasn't admitted it to herself yet.
(She insists they use the name Waters. Hers has too much weight, and she saw what a legacy-heavy name did the Leveilleur twins when they were young. Any kid of Thancred and Aeryn will have enough Issues to deal with. Besides, who cares about the "legacy" of her family name when they can create something new using the one Thancred was gifted?)
(They also eventually settle on a couple simpler Thavnairian names that wouldn't be out of place in Eorzea)
And then yeah, it's too late so oh well guess this is happening!
She's really irked with him though when it's twins.
("My understanding is it's usually the mother's side where such...right, I'm going to go crash on Urianger's couch.")
"Definitely not doing this again."
Fraternal boy & girl pairing cuz I'm a sucker for tropes like that. They don't look so alike as certain other twins though.
The boy looks a lot like his dad but with tanner skin, a bit blonder hair, and his mama's eyes. Also is taller than his dad; not quite max midlander, but slider's at 80. Striker height. Thancred's average adult man height leaves him comparatively short once more.
The girl looks a lot like her mom, but slightly lighter skin, her daddy's eyes, and a bit of his nose, too. Tall (for a midlander) like her mom.
(Auntie Rashae: "Gods Aer, they're too skinny" "I KNOW!")
They end up adventurers of course (not sure what disciplines), alongside their adopted siblings and other Scion kid "cousins", sometimes running into people who knew their parents but they got their own things to deal with and their own names to make, it's fine. Really. Honestly.
(is there anyone in the realm Mom doesn't know?! And why are half the older women in Thanalan so irked by mention of Dad...?)
Not sure what's up with all the fairies and dragons, though. May ask Mom later.
Anyway that's what I've got. And some fiddling in Benchmark CharGen cuz it was maintenance and I was bored.
Mostly took Thancred's chardata and adjusted a couple things, then took Aeryn and adjusted a couple other things.

The Spidey Squad Playing Among Us
Masterlist
Welp, this game is all the rave all of a sudden and irdk how since the game's pretty much been here forever lol but it's still fun so I had to jump on the bandwagon and here we are! Make sure you check go out @chaoticpete's new fic. Anyways here it is! If this gets enough likes I might do an avengers headcanon too.
Thanks to @angelsparkers for helping me realize I wasn't writing complete garbage and helping me to get through it even though she didn't even know she was doing that. So yeah thanks for that.
Peter
Crewmate: Peter is that crewmate that will 100% call you out on your bs, because he knows the game a little too well for you to be able to pull anything over him(because of all that free time waiting on patrol). You think all that stuff with the avengers didn't teach him strategy? Ha! This guy is PEAK detective. Gets his tasks done fast and when he's done is probably spending his time monitoring people on security or vitals. It only took him like 2 weeks to memorize all the maps and where everything is, so if you say you were in navigation, you better believe he's gonna ask you what task you were doing there. And if you don't answer to his liking, Peter will sound the "sus" alarm on you in two point five seconds and have everyone voting you out. He's probably the only person that could figure out MJ when she's the impostor. So if you're the impostor, watch your words and make sure your alibis are strong cuz little Petey ain't playin' no games. Definitely gets attacked from time to time by those people that are always like "sMaRt PpL rUiN tHe GaMe"
Impostor: He's pretty much the most average impostor. Sometimes he doesn't know what to say when people call him sus and he'll get voted out because he's being "too quiet" or because Ned keeps defending him. He'll mess up every now and then but for the most part, he's pretty decent. His style is usually to stay in the vents most of the game and kill when only one person's around. He probably bribes Ned to not rat him out by promising him that he won't kill him.
Name: It used to be just Peter, but soon he wanted an actual cool name so he chose Sherlock because of all the times when he was "too smart" and won the game too quickly and people would go "pack it up Sherlock" and vote him out.
Favorite color to be: It used to be red, but he quickly found that the more he was red the more people found him "sus" so now he's usually either blue or cyan
Ned
Crewmate: Pretty average crewmate. 80% of the time is covering for Peter, even if Peter is the impostor. Won't do much calling people out unless he's absolutely sure that he saw a kill or vent. Pretty chill and easily persuadable. You'd definitely want him on your team. If he ever gets wrongfully ejected he's the one that pitifully tries to plead his case saying stuff like "what???" and "guys it's not me!!!!" which doesn't really convince anyone and just makes him look more guilty. He'll still do his tasks after though.
Impostor: He's the impostor that doesn't want to be the impostor. If you're texting then maybe he can hold his own, but if you're doing voice chats, there's no way this guy is getting past ANYONE. He has so many tells that it's ridiculous. Is actually scared to vent too much because he's always paranoid that someone's gonna be right there when he jumps out. 8/10 the crewmates win when he's the imposter because he'll just kill like only two people the entire time or gets caught really early on.
Name: Probably some sci-fi reference like r2d2 or Potter
Favorite color to be: Yellow or white because he says those are the most "innocent" colors and he'll be less likely to get voted if he's those (not true but we'll let him believe it)
MJ
Crewmate: Suspicion times 100. Her motto: trust no one. Will get you kicked out in a heartbeat with a quick "trust me. if it's not them vote me next." An absolute unit but will never be caught getting emotional over a game. If she's ever wrongfully ejected her last words will be "whatever. go ahead. vote me and lose." She'll just come back in the next game with a vengeance and false accusations ready, not caring if the entire team loses because of it. She's especially dangerous to have because people usually trust her word. She always finds a way to seem the least suspicious. Though sometimes she'll get suspected because of her quiet nature. There's always that one guy that's ready to go "uR qUiEt ThAt'S sUs!!"
Impostor: If MJ is the impostor, you can just throw your whole phone away. You're not winning that game. Like, ever. She will do whatever it takes to win, even sell out her own her partner. On the off chance that you catch her being suspicious, she'll sabotage a bunch of things so that you can't call meetings and then she'll kill you when no one's around. She is ruthless and will hurt your feelings with the way that she will own everyone in the game. Hardly anyone ever expects her. Thrives on venting. You won't see her you'll just be doing a task and suddenly you'll be dead.
Name: Used to be just MJ but she got annoyed with all the people in the messages who always assumed she meant Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan so she changed it to Michelle
Favorite color to be: She literally doesn't care either way. Won't change the gameplay so why bother? Whatever color she ends up with she'll be fine.
Betty
Crewmate & Impostor: The most average player of them all. She wins some, she loses some. Nice partner to have though, because she'll never give you away. Probably the first to die most times. If she ever gets wrongfully ejected she's the one that uses her last words to say who she thinks it and doesn't even try to plead her case once it starts to look bad for her. She just finished the rest of her tasks.
Name: Probably either her name or some nickname or inside joke. Idk she just seems like the type of person to have a reference to something that absolutely nobody knows
Favorite color to be: Pink. Just because she likes pink.
Flash
Crewmate: Claims things are sus even if they aren't. Will totally be biased based on names. Anybody who knows him will never count him as a credible source. Gets voted out quickly alot because of how annoying he is in the game.
Impostor: He's the easiest to figure out. He's the impostor that obnoxiously accuses literally everyone else. And in all capital letters too. "ITS RED I STG. IF IT'S NOT HIM VOTE ME NEXT!" Calls everyone sus and always claims he's seen people running from the body. He usually self-reports and goes for the easy marks in electrical. He's not that good (even though he thinks he is) and it takes anyone with a brain to figure him out. Peter and MJ are bane of his existence in that game. If he gets wrongfully ejected he'll rage and probably leave the game like the little crybaby he is.
Name: Spideys#1 because he's really just THAT obsessed. Or when he's really feeling "teenage boy" he'll be cOchieman
Favorite color to be: Red because sPiDeRmAn'S hIs BeSt FrIeNd (ahahaha if only he knew)
May
She didn't know this game at all until Peter introduced her to it one day because he was bored. She LOVED it. He had to pry it out of her hands after she kept repeating "Hold on, one more!" So she downloaded on her phone and now she plays it whenever she's bored.
Crewmate: Average. Same as Betty.
Impostor: The way May can actually dominate being the impostor is sort of scary. And she'd always be the last person you'd expect because she just has that trusting vibe about her. Sometimes she'll mess up and give herself away, but for the most part, she's pretty good. Doesn't vent much. Just like Ned, she doesn't trust it.
Name: Madonna
Favorite color to be: She doesn't care much but she prefers to be purple, cyan, or orange
Funny Moment
《Peter calls an emergency meeting 10 seconds into the game》
- Michelle: what
- Betty: what
- Michelle: skip
- r2d2: bro already?
- Sherlock: okay everyone just listen
- k0chieman: bruh
- Michelle: okay listen to what
- Sherlock: flash what task are you doing
- Betty: alright were listening
- k0chieman: the divert thingy in navi
- r2d2: pete what is this
- Sherlock: yeah dude that diverty thingy is the second of two steps
- Sherlock: u never did the first
- Sherlock: which means ur an impostor faking
- Michelle: flash?
- k0chieman: no
- k0chieman: i did do it
- r2d2: the times low we gotta decide guys
- Sherlock: if you did it wouldve taken you 12-15 seconds to get there and were not that far in the game
- Sherlock: u cant already be doing it
- Sherlock: everybody vote flash
- r2d2: petes on x games mode
- Michelle: damn dude
- k0chieman: wtf parker
- Sherlock: bye dude
- Sherlock: worlds greatest detective strikes again
- Michelle: okay calm down pete

Best Imposter Combos
Peter & Ned: Goes without saying. Nine times out of ten they're in the same room while playing this so they can just talk strategy to each other and take everyone out really quickly. Really annoying for everybody else, but they'll win so they're happy.
MJ & Peter: These two together are a force to be reckoned with. The second they see that they're both impostors they call each other up and get to business like they're on a mission. This stuff is serious. (More for Peter than MJ. She has to keep telling him that it's just a game.) He stays on security stuff, telling her when it's safe, and she racks up the kills. When things get heavy, they sabotage and then go on a spree. These two hardly ever lose. (When the whole squad is together whoever's in charge [if it's not Pete or MJ] usually puts the kill cooldown at max just in case these two get that they can't be at full power)
MJ & Betty: Betty isn't afraid to sacrifice herself so that they'll win and MJ is ruthless and quick with her kills. Both have the smarts to be able to be extremely persuasive and you'd hate for them to pick you to frame. Because being put against those two in the chatroom will lead you nowhere but abyss of space.
May & Peter: Parkers united. 'Nough said.

Like you I’m also sensing more serious vibes IF they are back together ...
I don’t know why, maybe it’s just a gut feeling plus they’re older now and probably have more “experience “ in romantic relationships and how to manage them in their levels of fame, they were just 20 when they started dating, and might not seem like it but they were still very young and both ( presumedly) just had had one “ serious” relationship before that. Add that to the fact that they had to deal with fame, being long distance, remaining private and others things that we won’t ever know about...
The follows and social media love from their families and friends is one of the things that’s making me think like that... the Sam follow especially 👀 and just the way they’ve been talking about each other, especially after seeing what went down with these two last year...
Honestly as much as I wanted to see cute bf /gf moments, IF they’re back again and are both on the same track regarding privacy and that works for them,then I support their decision,as long as they are happy 😊 and after seeing fans reacting the way they did when they were more public with their previous relationships, I don’t blame them, I ‘m here for whatever works for them 👌
Omg SAAAAME!!
Like, before I was really staunch in my belief that they should quit with this nonsense and go public if they decide to date again, otherwise, they might as well not ever date each other again... 😤 Like you can check my blog lol, I was really strict about this lol. 😆
But after seeing what went down with Tadia, and the backlash, and the hate first-hand that Tomdaya gets, and even just hearing some of Tom's recent comments about privacy, tbh I'm just good with whatever makes THEM happy. If they're BOTH on the same page with this hiding craziness, and they're both happy laying low (less pressure, less backlash if they breakup, less ppl in their business, etc), then hey! Who am I to judge lol? 😆 🤷🏾♀️
Going public doesn't always automatically = a happy relationship. We saw what happened with their recent previous relationships. Going public didn't really maintain the relationships (I still feel to this day that they went public Werth the WRONG ppl... they should have just gone public with each OTHER 🙄), if anything, those relationships didn't really last that long after going "public".
So yea, at this point, I'm just happy that they seem happy and are def on good terms again, and if hiding a "FRIENDSHIP" is what they feel is best, then so be it.
But here's the funny thing.... Why would you need to hide a friendship if it's JUST a friendship? 😏 They're not afraid of "hate" from ppl just because they're "friends".... they're worried about hate from ppl because they're MORE than friends.... that's the vibe I've been getting. 🤷🏾♀️
Cuz Tom never said anything about being worried that his fans might be upset with ppl who he hangs out with as FRIENDS. No, he specifically mentioned DATING.
So, there you go.....😏
Yet more "pieces" to this puzzle imo.

transcript.file//jfreeman_codingb//convo
[Emergency Program Active]
AdminJF: Heya B-)
CodingB: ...? Allen? Where's Joshua?
AdminJF: He's still asleep, just snoozin away.
CodingB: Still a-... Isn't it... late? Why are you up.
AdminJF: Had a nightmare
AdminJF: Couldn't get back to sleep
AdminJF: Figured a lil chatting with ya could do me some good.
CodingB: ... With... me?
CodingB: Wait a moment...
CodingB: Communications are offline... I didn't think that was possible...
AdminJF: Yeaaa, boy like me's fulla tricks B-)
AdminJF: 'sides, don't think chattin with 'em would help out. They're... kinda chaotic.
CodingB: Unlike you, pizza box tearer?
AdminJF: Ey ey, I'm the FUN kinda chaotic! Those guys... eh... I know Josh trusts them. No surprise there. I mean, apart from you, they're the only peeps who MIGHT help him out... I'm still on the fence about them tho.
CodingB: I see.
CodingB: May I ask... what your nightmare was about? I do not know exactly how dreams work, but talking about what ever is making you upset tends to help.
AdminJF: Are you sure? It's... kinda dumb.
CodingB: I am all ears! And eyes! You have my full attention!
AdminJF: Right, well
AdminJF: where tf do I start...
AdminJF: I was... running in this like, industrial... plant of some kind? Like, running from something that I couldn't see? Like, that went on for a while, that I was just running and trying not to trip or crash into anything.
AdminJF: So at some point, I end up at this biiig chain link fence, like, the kind they put up in big facilities, I think. Anyways, I start climbing the thing, only to get pried off and thrown on my ass by, I guess whoever was chasing me??
AdminJF: But like, I look up at the guy, and I still can't really "see" him. Could say they looked like a shadow, but even that doesn't cover it really. That's around where I woke up and just. I dunno. Woke up about an hour ago and I've been too anxious to head back to sleep...
CodingB: ... I can't say I blame you exactly. An event like that, dream or not, would stress anyone, I'm certain. Until you've calmed down sufficiently, I don't think sleep will be possible...
AdminJF: Yeah, well, all the more reason to chat, right?
CodingB: I suppose so. Had you any topics in mind?
AdminJF: Oh Yea yea
AdminJF: ... No. I really don't.
CodingB: Ah. Then... could I ask you something?
AdminJF: Shoot.
CodingB: ... What is it like out there? Past the screen, I mean. Out in the sun. Out in the grass...
AdminJF: Ah shit... I'm really the wrong dude to ask but uh
AdminJF: It's... fine? No no uh... It... gives you something to do. Sun can get pretty hot down here but it's a helluva lot better than being cold in like, the snow and shit. Josh's been complaining that it's getting colder when... it hasn't? Like, I would know, I'm p sensitive to temperature shifts yo, but it's just been as hot as ever.
AdminJF: Uh, back on topic
AdminJF: Grass is... pretty soft, gives off a nice smell after it's cut. Uh... worms live in the dirt grass grows in...
CodingB: Oh, worms?
AdminJF: Yea, not like computer worms, but uh, little... long slimey things. They eat dirt and filter out the bad stuff so the ground stays healthy and all that.
AdminJF: Birds and lizards and fish like to eat them but I wouldn't recommend it.
CodingB:
CodingB: Allen, did you-
AdminJF: No!
AdminJF: Classmate back in primary did tho
AdminJF: Dared himself to cuz there was a bunch out after it rained and then uh
AdminJF: Y'know what, let's talk about something else.
CodingB:
CodingB: Well, um, do you think I'll ever get to see out there?
CodingB: Like, leave the device and go outside?
AdminJF: Knowing Joshua? Without a doubt. He's prob already working on the blueprints.
CodingB: ... Really?
AdminJF: Pfft, of course! You've met the guy! He's too kindhearted for his own good. J will stop at nothing to help others, even at his own detriment. I mean, case in point: He's friends with me.
CodingB: ... What's wrong with being friends with you?
AdminJF: Ha!
AdminJF: Ah...
AdminJF: Look, I... back when we first met, Josh saw this hungry, pale as death, angry and antisocial freak around his age and, instead of avoiding him like everyone else, sat down right next to him and offered half of his lunch.
AdminJF: I've been through 5 different fosters since he and I first met, CB. Five houses that all took me in and gave me the boot before I could even get comfortable. Within that time, the only other friends I've made apart from him are Clera and Tiff, and the only reason Tiff's our friend is because she and Cler started dating months ago.
AdminJF: I mean, hell, just yesterday, I
AdminJF: shit
CodingB: ?
AdminJF: ... Can you... keep a secret, CB?
CodingB: My lips are sealed, Allen. Is everything alright?
AdminJF: ... I... I lied to Josh, about me running off. About how my folks were mad and I needed to get away from the house for a bit.
AdminJF: The truth is that they... They kicked me out.
CodingB: They?? What!?
AdminJF: Yesterday past-noon, few hours after lunch, not-pops plopped my schoolbag on me, told me to shove as much of my shit in it as I could, and just told me to "get lost". Figured he was joking and I just stared at him cuz, like, why the hell would I think he was serious? But, looking at his face...
AdminJF: So then I said "Let me pack my suitcases while you call the agency" cuz that's how it normally went when my Fosters got sick of me, but mfer pulls me up and goes all "We want you out of here NOW" and tells me that I have ten minutes to fill my bag.
AdminJF: ... And he, uh, really did mean 10 minutes. They weren't lying about that part...
CodingB: Oh my god... That's horrible. They do not deserve to call themselves "parents" of any kind! Are you hurt? Are you okay?
AdminJF: I
AdminJF: I don't know why shit like this still shocks me, y'know? I should be used to it all, and I am for the most part but...
AdminJF: I guess a part of me was thinking that... Things were going well! Things were going better than any of the other families I'd been in! I was with them for almost a full year, like, a month away from it even, and sure, I might've been a bit of an ass sometimes, but they...
AdminJF: Tensions were kinda mounting for the past month or so, I guess, but I didn't notice it until this bs happened. Now most of my shit is in a home I'm not welcome in anymore, the agency probably won't be checking in for another month or so, and I have no goddamn idea what I'll do if Mrs. Freeman comes back and tells me I can't stay here. I'm completely shit outta luck.
CodingB: Allen, I'm so sorry...
CodingB: ... I'm sure... Josh and his mother, they won't leave you on your own like that. You said yourself that Josh is very very kind, for better or for worse. It doesn't matter what you might think about yourself, Allen, you do not deserve to be hurt in any way.
AdminJF:
AdminJF: Christ I spilled my guts like hell
AdminJF: Just one of those fucking
AdminJF: "3am! Time to vent!"
CodingB: Allen, please.
AdminJF: Maybe I could try going back to sleep now...
CodingB: Allen, wait!
CodingB: I. Before you go, please, I
CodingB: Maybe... could you keep a secret of mine too?
AdminJF:
AdminJF: Eh, it's only fair, fine. Go right on ahead.
CodingB: Alright! Alright!
CodingB: I... I'm terrified. Of failing Joshua.
CodingB: Of ending up trapped in this computer for who knows how many more years.
CodingB: Of finally getting out, and... and it all being worse than being trapped in here.
CodingB: Heck, I'm terrified at the thought of it being everything I could've ever dreamed of, so much so that I never want to return to the computer. I... I wouldn't be helpful anymore if that happened...
CodingB: Jeez... am I even helpful where I am now? Apart from keeping the firewall up, what good have I really done to help Joshua or his father?
CodingB: I cannot express to Joshua how... how deeply frightened I am at the thought of him never coming back. That thought haunts my every waking hour when he is not here, and I don't know how to get it to stop. It makes me feel as though I'll crash my entire programming and I hate it so much.
AdminJF: Damn... CB, you know, even just keeping a firewall up is a helluva task all on its own, and it's doing a crapton of good, too. Files are still up and the computer isn't a smouldering pile of viruses now is it?
AdminJF: Besides, even without all of that, you've still helped Josh, like, endlessly. You've supported him a bunch and I know for a fact that you've helped him to feel better about this whole ordeal. Like, he chats about you for HOURS the second you come up in a convo, yo. The minute he gets the chance to, I know he's gonna get you out of there, and, knowing your ingenuity, you're gonna find thousands o' ways to help out.
AdminJF: But... I ain't gonna lie and tell you those feelings are gonna go away. Not on their own. Needs time and reassurance. Until all of this is over and done with and even maybe a good few years afterwards, you're probably gonna still have that fear.
CodingB: Ah... I see... I don't suppose it is normal though, is it?
AdminJF: Nah. I know that first-hand... But hey, we've both made it this far despite all the bullshit we've been through, right? World's not gonna get ridda us that easily.
CodingB: ... Even with the terror I feel, am I still brave enough to face the world?
AdminJF: I'd say the world oughta learn to start being afraid of you, cuz there's nothin' braver than continuing to live even when you're scared to death.
CodingB: ... Thank you. Thank you so very much.
AdminJF: Heh, all in a day... night's work...
AdminJF: Think the both of us could use some rest. Quiet our minds fo' a bit.
CodingB: Heh, agreed... See you tomorrow in that case. Er, well, today. At a later hour.
AdminJF: Yeaaa, see ya then, CBot. Sleep well.
CodingB: You too! May your dreams be filled with nothing scary!

Semi-Live Blogging: Finale Time!
With reaction images this time!
Adoradad
TRAINING EXERCIIISE
Adorabat's practicing her screaming! Bet that's gonna come in handy later.
"Fneh!" Wow what an introduction Eugene
His design is like? Really cool?? He looks practically nothing like Adorabat tho. And why does he have a spade on his stomach instead of a heart??
Badgerclops drew him with a giant ass mustache lol.
Adorabat takes banjo lessons? More importantly, Eugene thought she was at a banjo lesson FOR 8 MONTHS?!
"She scares me" lol
Adorabat ran away from home? Why?
"I thought you were a ward of the state!" Remember when everyone thought Adorabat was an orphan? Yea.
"I thought you were my conscience!" Badgerclops...you've lived with Adorabat for a year...went to her school...AND YOU THOUGHT SHE WAS A PIECE OF YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS?!
...why did Badgerclops use Adorabat as monster bait...
I expected to hate Eugene but he's actually really cute and interesting?? Aside from the fact he thinks Mao Mao & Badgerclops are criminals. Love to see him again sometime!
Wow her dad has a whole badass mansion!! Why doesn't she just stay there...
Oh...her mom died...that's why he's so protective of her and was so upset when she left. Also her mom looks amazing & I wanna see a flashback episode with her. For some reason I can imagine her sounding like a deeper version of Scoops?
Aww Adorabat's room is super cool! Also Eugene cracking the door for her asfgjkl
"Do you think that monsters attacking the city are gonna - wait, does that have peanut butter in it? " (Cuts to MM & BC eating ice cream while crying) That's a perfectly rational reaction to losing your adoptive daughter
"I can keep it together!" (Cut to Mao Mao trying and failing to shovel ice cream in his mouth with his helmet on) NSADGEDHAMADH
Wait a second. Mao's eating mint chocolate chip ice cream. ISN'T CHOCOLATE TOXIC TO CATS?!
"But you said I was part of the team!!" "Then you're...off the team."
Adorabat crying while showing Eugene the picture OUCH MY HEART...
"I used to go exploring in those caves with Mom all the time..." I'm guessing those are the caves from the promo?
"She wasn't afraid of anything!" " Well Adorabat definitely takes after her mother...
"And then one day, Sonara didn't come back with you." Ooh her name's Sonara!! Pretty!! I can't tell if they chose it cuz it sounds like Sonar or because it means "pleasant sounding"
Glad to see Adorabat's still a die-hard metal fan, even with Eugene
Oof Mao isn't taking this well at ALL if he's pretending Adorabat's molt is her...
OOH SHIT ADORABAT RAN OFF TO THE CAVES - wait a minute no she didn't. OH NO EUGENE WENT TO THE CAVES
Ooh there's Sonara's looking glass, bet that's gonna be important
Yay Adorabat saved her dad!
Damn Adorabat must be super traumatized after basically watching her mother die. No wonder she tried to murder Boba-Chan!
Oh the only way to stop the monster is by screaming!
(Mao Mao hears Adorabat scream) "ADORABAT?!" ADOPTIVE DAD POWERS ACTIVATE
Ooh her mother's figure appears over her when she says she's not afraid of anyone...maybe her spirit's inside of her or something?
REVENGE TIME BAYBEY
HOLY SHIT ADORABAT FUCKING MURDERED THAT THING
Eugene & Adorabat both apologized to each other I...
"You can't just leave without the most fearless member of the group!" YAAY ADORABAT'S BACK (Also how are we gonna explain to Eugene Adorabat's scared of the dark?)
"I'll mess 'em up real good! So good, their mommies and daddies won't be able to recognize them when I'm done..." Daaammmnnn...
"She scares me :)"
I wonder...is Sonara really dead? Or are they gonna pull a Kipo & have her still be alive but in a different form?
Badge-A-Fire explosion
Uhh...where is Badgerclops? And why is Mao Mao on the top bunk?!
Of course Badgerclops is petty enough to install a fake monster alarm on his laptop to wake Mao Mao and Adorabat up.
"This is a super-serious work meeting, as you can see by the fact that I haven't provided any snacks!" No snacks?! This must be a serious issue!! /s
"As you know, I am a creative genius. Sometimes there's so much natural creative genius that my brain overloads, and I enter a heightened state that I call 'Ultra Focus'..." Oh so basically like hyperfixation?
"...where I break into a creative sprint, inventing super-advanced technology at supernatural speeds, unparalleled by anyone in the entire field of science." Okay maybe only a LITTLE bit like hyperfixation...wait a second, IS THAT WHY BADGERCLOPS IS SO TIRED ALL THE TIME?!
Uhh did he get his arm stuck in the front door? HE TOOK THE AEROCYCLE?!
"...I forget everything the next morning." Remember my headcanon that Badgerclops represses his memories? Yea...
"Which is why it's not my fault and I don't think I should be criticized :D" TBH I screamed with laughter at this scene solely because of the expression he made
...HE GAVE THE SKY PIRATES THE GEM CELL?! I mean he clearly wasn't thinking right when he did it BUT STILL?!
"Oh hey, I told you I'd use that weird elevator thing!" Dude you LITERALLY used it in Ultraclops. What are you talking about.
"If the Sky Pirates had the Gem Cell, they would've used it already!" That is a fair point ngl.
Umm...did Badgerclops give Adorabat a BOMB?!
Tbh if my friend woke me up in the middle of the night with weird-looking eyes and handed me a timer while saying something about an explosion I would DEFINITELY not go back to sleep afterwards...
I'm sorry, IS THE WHOLE VALLEY GONNA BLOW UP?! WHAT THE HELL DID HE MAKE?!
Mao wiping Badgerclops' tears I'm
A paper towel dispenser? Well that's not that bad - IS THAT A GIANT PAIR OF PANTS?!
Ooh it's not a shock collar it's a translator!! That makes a bit more sense... "I HAVE NO REMORSE OR CONCEPT OF EMPATHY!" ...if the monster doesn't have remorse or empathy how does it know what those words mean...
Badgerclops keeps telling Mao Mao & Adorabat not to criticize him...hmm...I wonder who criticized his inventions that made him that way...*cough* HIS MOM *cough*
"Are all your inventions this weird?!" "YOU'RE WEIRD!!"
IM SORRY DID BADGERCLOPS BUILD A DANCING MACHINE INTO MAO MAO'S BONES?! HIS BONES?! AND HE MADE ADORABAT A SECOND MEGAPEG?!
What in the absolute hell is going on dgaadhdagdadga
Okay but when Badgerclops clutched his head and started shaking when Mao Mao asked why he made those things...I FELT THAT IN MY HEART I FELT THAT IN MY SOUL
Ngl this scene really hit home for me cuz that's how I act when I have a breakdown...
The timer went off but nothing blew up - WAIT, IS THAT A REPLICA OF MECHA HOSSORAFFASNAKEARANG?!
"Initializing Totally Humane Knockout Procedure." (Proceeds to slam the Sheriff's Dept. into the ground) ajdajdgdad
Ooh...ohh they're on some sort of water park...ride...thing??
"And if I didn't want us to get out, then I made sure we couldn't...with super-strong shoe things." But there isn't any on Adorabat, can't she just squeeze herself out?
Ooh I'm getting Pirates of the Caribbean vibes
There's the Gem Cell, it must be powering the ride! Also the robotic arm slaps Mao's hand the same way Mao slaps Badgerclops' hand in Flyaway skkkk
"My amazing creativity is finally gonna destroy us all..." "Hey, at least we'll be destroyed together!" Fair point, fair point
The shoosh returneth
"I always loved inventing." So he was an inventor ever since he was little? Daww.
YOUNG BC IS SO ADORABLE!! He has a lil medical patch instead of an eyepatch which is def more accurate to real life...but what's the vest for? Protection in case he falls? A pressure stim?
That figure's def his mom since they rejected his ideas & he mentions she was mean to him. Also the theory that his mom's a villain seems a bit stronger since they straight-up hand him a tool kid + a set of blueprints with no regard to his safety...
"Also there was a bunch of other kids at school and some other people throughout my life who mocked me relentlessly." THEN WHY'D YOU TELL ADORABAT YOU COULDN'T RELATE TO HER WHEN SHE SAID NO ONE WANTED TO BE HER FRIEND?! (Also I noticed literally all the kids are other badgers, so I'm assuming Badgerclops grew up sheltered like Mao Mao did.)
So the Ultra Focus is basically a really weird coping mechanism to deal with all the abuse and bullying he went through? Holy fuckkk
"They only made fun of you because they were jealous. Happened to me my whole life!" Umm...
"Even the dance chip I surgically implanted in your brain?" Excuse me the dance chip that you WHAT
"I love you-" HE SAID IT 💗💓💗💓
"I'm finally around people who love and understand me..."
Wait did the cannon misfire? DID IT BLOW A HOLE IN THE GROUND?!
OH HE ACTUALLY DID CREATE AN ANIMATRONIC BAND?! I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE!!
"Take it away, Boss Hosstritch!" (Distorted garbling)
Oof Mao caught all the water
"We hope you all enjoyed being Badgerclops' friend." 💞💕💞💕
Not that anyone cares but I noticed there's a picture of some of the Sweetypies on the monitors, meaning 1. Badgerclops tested it out using them first, or 2. Badgerclops just likes those Sweetypies for whatever reason. Tho that makes me wonder why he'd choose Pinky of all people...
THE SKY PIRATES WERE INSIDE THE ANIMATRONICS THE WHOLE TIME?! THE MAN BEHIND THE SLAUGHTE
Zing Your Heart Out
Why are they giving out rotten sushi??
"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME EATING SOMETHING GROSSLY?!"
Ooh god Chester's gonna be super freaking annoying in this episode, I can feel it.
"What's blue and smells like red paint? Blue paint!" BAYBEY
Jesus what a prick. GET HIM MAO MAO
Ngl that background's really pretty...
Oooh no the Ruby Pure Heart's being weird again. Ooh no.
FUCK YEA ROAST HIM BABY - Did Adorabat's eyes turn purple because the Ruby Pure Heart gave her powers?
Oh so the siren in Badgerclops' robo-arm is a backup monster alarm?
More Sky Pirates - and the Pure Heart's being weird again...
"I'd tell you but despite your height it'd go right over your HEAD!" Asdfgghjjk
"For someone with two brains, you're not very BRIGHT!" EVEN BETTER
Kevin said he was raising money for a school trip, then for a trip to the hospital...which one is he raising money for?!
"SILENCE PANCAKE, LEST YE BE BUTTERED"
OOH NO SHE ATTACKED MAO AND BC
"IT FEELS LIKE THE WEIGHT OF ONE THOUSAND PLANETS!!"
"One second, I'm getting mad, and the next thing you know-" Is she freaking possessed??
Wait, is the Pure Heart TALKING to Adorabat?! How?!
Cluckins you don't ask people what's wrong with their eyeballs...even if there is something wrong with their eyeballs
"I CAN'T FEEL MY SELF-RESPECT!!"
The pure 'oh shit' on Marion's face when Adorabat turns to her
Half of the people she insulted showed up to her party! Didn't that mean she loved them?!
Oh god not this bitch again - nvm, thanks Adorabat
"Taking over the castle and ruling Pure Heart Valley forever does sound nice..." This is starting to remind me of that one AU where Adorabat turns evil, becomes the ruler of the Sky Pirates, then convinces them to kill Snugglemagne and becomes the queen of Pure Heart...she isn't gonna kill Snugglemagne, is she?
What did Adorabat tell Snugglemagne?! I WANNA KNO
Why is Pinky stealing teeth...reminds me of this
NO BC DON'T EAT THE TEETH
"I...hate myself! Therefore, I'm invincible!" So the trick to not getting your ego destroyed...is to not have an ego. Sounds reasonable.
"Your bug platter, my king?" Genderfluid Adorabat rights
"Mao Mao, your head looks like a CROW!" (Mao Mao caws) IT WAS A LIE HE ISN'T A CAT HE WAS A CROW THIS WHOLE TIME-
"It looks like a half-melted ice cream cone!!" That is...a strange way to describe your own neck...
"Well, I'm...bad (◡‿◡)" Kinda weird that the canonically depressed character can't even cleverly insult himself
...why does Adorabat's skin smell like old cantaloupe
OH SHE IS POSSESSED!!
HOLY SHIT MAO WAS GONNA FUCKING MURDER ADORABAT TO SAVE THE KINGDOM?! THANK GOD HE SAW HER JOKE BOOK, HOLY SHIT
Positivity outweighs negativity!
"WHERE DOES A 800 POUND GORILLA SIT?!" "Where ever it wants!◝(⁰▿⁰)◜" Curse you for making me laugh...
OOH NO THE JOKEBOOK! - Wait nvm Mao remembers Adorabat's jokes!
I think the reason they used that joke is because it represents Mao Mao and Adorabat - Adorabat is blue, and she wants to be like Mao Mao, who wears red. What is BLUE, and smells like (is similar to) RED paint?
YAAAY HE BROKE HER FREE FROM MIND CONTROL!! And did BC get Thanos snapped in the background?
"Thank goodness you're alright! We almost..." Fucking murdered you? Yea
"Might we have our crown and kingdom back, yes?"
"Sorry for being such a monster today." "You're a monster everyday." Is that a joke because she was today's villain, a reference to Sleeper Sofa or foreshadowing?
I hope Mao Mao and Badgerclops decide to investigate what's up with the Heart in Season Two, cause I highly doubt they'll let Adorabat getting fucking possessed go under the radar.
The visual gag of Mao trying to stomp out his ice cream cone like a cigarette is perfect. This is peak comedy everyone else go home
WHOOP CHESTER'S ASS GUYS
Strange Bedfellows
"So, your name is Boss Hosstrich, but you're not actually the boss?" How long did it take him to realize that
JFC Mao & Orangusnake are REALLY hellbent on killing each other huh...at least the deputies and the other Sky Pirates have common sense.
Hahaha nice Dragon Ball Z reference - and they both got crushed by the monster! Lovely.
...did Mao seriously think he died and went to heaven?
So does Orangusnake breathe through Tanner or do they both breathe independently & Coby can feel when Tanner can't?
Dang those skeletons remind me of the Steven Universe Future episode Growing Pains. And why is Lucky inside of Orangusnake? "THAT WAS MY LUNCH, JERK!" Ooh that's why.
"They're full of these tiny, little cracks or, as they're known in the medical field, 'whoopsie-boo-boos'." AGSADGASGADGDASG
Damn their skeletons are just gonna freaking evaporate huh...
"The doctor said I was very brave :D"
Ooh shit the Deputies and the other Sky Pirates met at the same elevator, are they gonna fight - nevermind, they're still calling time.
JESUS CHRIST ARE MAO & ORANGUSNAKE EVER GONNA STOP?!
"You don't have the guts!" "I have a million guts." That is...mildly concerning
"Yeah, I wanted to be a baker, before I realized I liked hurting people so much." Then why doesn't she just like, help Muffins or something?
Tbh I thought Ratarang was holding a gun and I'm glad it was just a weirdly wrapped banana
CONE OF SHAME. CONE OF SHAME. CONE OF SHAME.
"Aww, y'all shouldn't have - this is empty." "Just like my heart when you injure yourself!!" He loves him sm...💓💓
"Why didn't you bring me weapons?!" "Because this is a hospital, and I'm a good boy (◡‿◡ )"
"I really feel like this could be a turning point in their relationship." (Mao and Orangusnake proceed to try and kill each other again) *sigh*
Ngl Mao & Orangusnake constantly repeating themselves is getting super annoying.
That hospital bed beeping is giving me flashbacks to all the times I went to the hospital for seizures...
"You know y'all could live like this, like, all the time if you didn't go around hurting people, right?" "Pssh! Tsk-tsk, boy. You know I gots to hurt people." Uhh you guys should really listen to Badgerclops he knows what tf he's talking about
UUhh, whose egg is that? "MAMA" ASGagddahDh
Of course they had to land in freaking CEMENT to realize that maybe they shouldn't kill each other
Did Mao just deflate like a ballo- oh nvm there he go.
Boneless Mao. Boneless Mao.
And Mao saved Orangusnake!! By...breaking every bone in his body somehow.
"I'm the kind of hero who wants to save you so I can fight you later...at the right time and place." Just gonna file this along with the credit score scene from Perfect Couple in the 'Orangumao' folder.
Is Badgerclops duct taping Mao to the stretcher? I mean, at least he won't move & hurt himself again but geez
Tbh Zing would’ve made a better finale than this ep. At least it had a sequel hook

Okay... going on a bit of a Schneider x Avery rant for a little bit. I've been reading some of your old posts about them and honestly I really do think they're endgame. If the show were to continue, I think season 3 would've been the closest we ever see Schneider to the family, but I think Avery (bc she doesn't have that much character development) would pull him back to the outer circle for season 4. I don't think they would've brought her back for the finale if they weren't endgame.
(cont) Schneider just barely makes the cut for family in this show. I mean I love him, but the show is about Penelope and her family. If they made too much noise between Penelope’s best friend’s love interest, who has no connection with the rest of the family, it would distract from the main characters too much. Nikki, Schneider’s only other “love” interest had a connection to both Penelope and Alex. But Avery’s there just for Schneider and I’m afraid it would stay that way.
hi anon!! i had to wait a while before answering this one because i knew i would need coherent thoughts and that hasn’t been working so well for me lately
you make two important points here, so i’ll start with the schneider side of it. i agree that s3 was the closest that we’ve ever seen schneider to the family, and that makes sense because honestly even as s3 progressed the storylines for everyone in the family, schneider kind of had the biggest, most consistent arc. (i think alex’s was the next biggest/most consistent. elena and pen and lydia’s stories were more episodic in s3 and sometimes connected more to previous season events than the preceding episodes.)
the showrunners/writers had been planning to address schneider’s sobriety for a while and talked a lot with the actor while they worked on it, and i think they handled it really well. but in my opinion, that all builds up to cementing schneider’s place in the family. not just pulling him into the circle, but making it clear that he belongs there–in a way they aren’t likely to go back on.
we went from penelope shutting the door in his face in 1.13 when he’s telling her they’re like family, to elena joking about him NOT being family in s2 and him telling a comatose lydia that they’re his family while punctuating his grief with jokes…to the entire family rallying around him in 3.12 after they were all a bit more distant earlier in the season.
elena is the first member of the family to actually direct the word ‘love’ his way! penelope tries to make it clear that he’s important to her just as he is and that he needs to fight his addictions not just for his sake but because of her family, especially the kids! schneider interrupts his big romantic reunion with avery to focus on lydia officially claiming him as an alvarez!
this snippet of an interview todd grinnell gave after s3 mentions the tension between any future schneider would have with avery, and his ties to the family. i don’t know how much the plans for a potential s4 might have changed over time, but since we know the writers do discuss plot arcs with the actors in advance (or at least they have done so with todd before) i believe that when he said this, it was based off his awareness of what the writers were thinking.
which means that avery could have been brought back to be a source of future conflict–and after schneider’s s3 declaration that ‘family is everything’ it’s not guaranteed that he would choose avery in that scenario. i could see him learning to balance and compromise, maybe, but schneider drifting out of the picture because of his love interest wouldn’t make sense for who he is–unless the actor was leaving the show maybe? i still wouldn’t find it very believable though.
i do agree that avery’s only connected to the show through schneider. that actually bugged me in s3, because they gave her so many little great moments in the beginning to establish who she was, and then she really never interacted with the family even when she was in scenes with them!! they either need to fully include her in s4 or keep her more separate; now that we’re more familiar with her, it won’t make sense at all for her to be in the apartment or at events and ignoring the rest of them most of the time. (unless that’s part of the plot, of course.) i think that avery won’t be likely to get much actual plot unless it starts to be about non-schneider things, like how she affects family members.
i honestly have no idea if schneider and avery are endgame or not. india is too adorable for me to be against it, despite my many objections to how avery was handled in s3 (so much potential after that meet-cute! i ranted in multiple essays about about it!). because the actors are married it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what the show does, letting schneider’s storylines going forward be more about him maturing and dealing with his first serious lasting relationship.
i think that how long the show gets to continue existing will also have a lot to do with what turns out to be endgame–if it ends on its own terms in a few years, then we’ll know what their intended endgame was. but if it gets cancelled then i’ll always wonder what they might have been really aiming for.
the biggest thing that you and i seem to disagree about, though, anon, that probably affects how we see the avery stuff playing out, is schneider’s role on the show. you say that he just barely makes the cut for family, and i would argue (as i sort of started to, messily, above) that in fact it’s season 3 that doesn’t just confirm but yells that he’s completely family.
in the first scene of the season, he comes in and tells the rest of them who their own dead relative is, and in his last scene, avery passes along the news of lydia’s official adoption of him. between all of that, the family sees him turn into someone else while he’s trying to please his father–and they see the relapsed alcoholic he’s never been in their presence before–and they commit even harder to making him feel loved and like he’s a part of them.
along those same lines, i’d also argue that schneider is a ‘main character.’ not only just technically (because he’s been included in things like promo images for the show since s1, where leslie wasn’t) but in terms of the story. if he wasn’t a main character in seasons 1 and 2, he definitely became one in season 3, when two whole episodes were formed around his arc in addition to his usual mini stories alongside the family.
tl;dr i have no idea if avery is schneider’s endgame but he is an alvarez now and i’ll believe him choosing her over his family when i see it
#odaat#one day at a time#schneider#avery#schneider x avery#hopefully this doesn't come off rude in response i tried hard to be diplomatic and reasonable when it comes to a character i adore#a totally polite anon with a difference of opinion: schneider isn't fully part of the alvarez family#me who likes my blog to always be a welcoming and friendly space: FIGHT ME#the 'avery is endgame and schneider's sobriety was mishandled' anon does not trip lightly off the tongue#elena alvarez#penelope alvarez#lydia riera#replies

They do this every time and it's the gimps and they can't figure it out and they can't get up the damn ramp no matter what you pay them then it's really not something we should do they do screw it up every time they try this dumb maneuver and they sell special ramps and they refuse to use them and easy ways to do it on an embankment and it's just as hard usually the ramp breaks
-but Fred writing got told not to play I took them more like this long this long to figure it out there slow so the pseudo empire was called and she tried to tell him why and they wanted to know who after they heard what he said or several said so they went after them they took them in question them find out who's popular with themselves the pseudo empire we're trying to tell her to shut up and she didn't get it then they went after more people pulled them in and while they're doing it Freya ridings was saying good job I appreciate the interest and help and I'd like my husband back and I think he might be here help on Titan and they said they know about those places and they trying to get to them and it's difficult and they're actually hidden they're not on the surface and she got a little angry and said it sounds like the max and I said we think it is so they're going to go out there that's within Tommy f territory and I think it's him doing it but the max are helping and they're going to go to Titan and it will get rid of the rest of the morlock fleet. It is kind of funny cuz she's just trying to get her husband out and then someone else that they don't be more like don't like but it's going to get rid of them and it'll probably get rid of Tommy f and the ships will be off and they'll be a war between them and the pseudo empire will have to get serious about it and try for stone ships and things and it's going on I'm surprised about it now so we are watching your TV and see our animals wandering around untamed and loose and afraid and they don't know what to do there's too many people they say if I stop hunting and looking for food I'll die if I don't I can get in trouble so yeah captured in there helping him they said you can see them with those things and you need to come in and they're all having problems and if they were fighting over them and it said you're like valuable and he says oh good and the laughing cuz you're asking him he's got a massive army and he can't get anything and they say what kind of armies then I just like you and they keep messing around with things and it's not even that and he says are you sure you're not stupid and he's you say like me you sound dumb and it gets upset and he says they're stupid and in a bad way and yes I think it was the lightning and stuff because he played me and he says it and they're saying no I don't think so so he says it's up there so they found some friends and their bears and brought them to him and he said that's pretty smart it sure is and they said you helped and he said they got stupid from lightning and then they both thought about it and said there's still up there so that's how it goes I guess so he points it out and they're making sure he's okay and other people want to grab him and make him into a monster and they noticed it too so there's a war over them out west and bja is fighting over these creatures and such and they are a Hallmark and we don't want to say it but they're very important at times.
We haven't used amount of things to announce we do have a huge amount of things to announce. One of them is our son successfully mailed the request for his 401k money and to most of the employers yes he had all of them actually there's some that they are short lived and he didn't have any money in there oh no he didn't have any investments yet and we are going to come through what other people owe him and start to them after them.
He told Marie Doyle in space that he wants his money and if he's idiots are holding it up and she said why I said it's for the Mac plan later they'll be dead in the macland will run and it's very simple so they get all the money and lots of it in the power and they do nothing with it and now they're going down and she says that's grave and she said it's great but really this is not good and they recognizing the problem and they said they're going to run this plan and they are influencing is to do it and they said it pointed it out and they said they'll never win then they said you're just attacking these guys and you're stupid and it said what do we do these guys want to run it for them and we want to and so she said you're running as a team and we do it as a team but we're not going to do it at all either or the pseudo empire is not going to do it either and that's actually what it is and it went on like that for quite a while and finally they started to say maybe right and some of my listening the biggest problem is her husband's brother and he is a nuisance and he doesn't get it so how's it supposed to work if he's the one who doesn't get it and everybody else does so we looked into it and she's pretty stupid about it but this guy is very dumb and thinks he has the AI and doesn't realize that they activated the computer remotely and she did it after him and it actually bounced it out and she's been finding out it's true and so people are helping her and she says I didn't know what it would do but his is out of control and that's what it was and they thought they were taking control of the computer. And yeah they look freaking real stupid and they look horrible and a junk really and they started to figure out that they were wrong and they finally started talking about today and it's because of the investments and they're going to be blamed for him not getting them and it's like this he had like two accounts one is saved and when he kept and took with him and he's using the money and so far and then it'll have to use the money that he saved up so they're talking about like armies and weaponry and stuff and that's the analogy and the max are going to have him crack that open and that's what it means and these guys are going to fight until they're gone I guess each other it is a revelation had their fight against each other and she says I'm coming out of it a little and it's kind of like he explained it I just said there's like two monies and I've been talking about a bunch of it and then they say that the other half will come out no all the stuff I've been building up will come out and by comparison it's like a ratio it's like westborough to Boston and she said holy s*** that's weird I was thinking of the other day and he says you're kind of really a strawberry blonde aren't you and she says yes I said it is obvious. It's like gold in your hair or something and it snaps out the electrical current so she said laughing and said something like that to her husband's brother and he said I don't understand what you're talking about she said this is so simple that it's stupid there's two accounts and even a key Bank he has two accounts and doesn't know about the second one it's the same bank and it's about keys and he's been talking about he's he's in the second phase they're going to pull the keys out that he's been pointing out and she says we going to get into this and you want to let it go cuz you're a f****** moron if he says hell is he going to do it we're here now see you bring the money here when you transfer is it and he started to say this wow that is messed up so they're trying to find the rest of it and they found a few pieces from interviews and in computers that verify it so we're going to print

You know it's horrible he keeps saying it's too hard to get us into it and do hard for us to see it and we're willing to just take a break completely and do the job and that's what it looks like in the movies as we're doing the job and the second part of the money is a huge part and they say his army is revealed and stuff and we are screwing around doing nothing JLo is almost talking to the guy and her son says actually that's a Mac as you went oh yeah and it was horrifying but he started blabbing and talking anymore or less still is and he's a wacko and can't help it A lot of these guys are nuts and they're knocked down you know nitrogen and people are getting it out of there

The x-pro Templar 250 is an awesome bike and I think we put it there it is a 19 horsepower monster it has a very sturdy frame it's beefy the motor is Turkey and powerful and it goes very fast about 85 miles an hour if you change the sprockets it goes 120 people are buying those like madness and they're feeding them for the road and they're getting dot approval one way or the other and it is a speed demon and they put super Moto on there and they get about 30 miles an hour more 150 miles an hour some people lower it and take off the towels and plastic things and it goes about 170 is way too fast for our son and we don't want to bike but this bike is ideal and I don't know why they're making it they usually don't make bikes that work this is a real motorcycle he's been asking forever for an Enduro they just won't do it you just change the exhaust pipe for emissions and people do it and they know which one because they're passing around it's a heartbreak to watch our son isn't want to buy a piece of crap and this is a real bike and you can't buy it and he can't ride and you won't let him have enough money for a car so we see what you more like doing but the empire is doing it too they're trying to take over their own area it's disgusting and it's not fooling anybody anymore and the foreigners are pouring in and they're making you pay for years of b******* when you kill off your clones
Thor Freya
It's finally working it's sitting here bothering me and torturing me humiliating me the all sorts of dumb s*** did I remember have me put it out there millions of times saying I'm wrong and telling me I have a dead end in more than one way I'll tell you what you're going to pay and foreigners for just sitting there they have a huge job to do and it'll probably overwhelmed and you're a bunch of jackasses and are going to die I know you're going to die this is what I've done already you're not going to make it no matter what you do you can kill each other all day and night LOL it still won't do you any good but I didn't count on that at all the foreigners did
Zues Hera
We're sitting here berating him and not listening he says he's growing Giants and they're huge they go out and ripped bunkers out by hand and we think it's a ship and we don't see a ship I'm actually a little bit scared to the guy cuz he won't back off and he's going to kill me if he gets in a fight and says you're not going to let me win a fight no matter what if it's serious and I certainly understand it I don't want to be here anymore he's sitting here railing away almost 24 hours a day he's up all night sometimes we can't get any sleep and he doesn't give a s*** cuz we're going to do it to him he's taking over our businesses the next one to follow his Fiat and also mini Cooper and he says Chrysler fully we don't have much left we don't care to make cars we don't care to work and we're also saying we don't care to buy them which is probably true any ruined ourselves sitting here bothering him and it's our fault we don't really care but we should probably leave and we can't and we're addicted and is here calling us homos and losers everyone beats us up I got to tell you there's no point in this being here he says the max are forcing us to stay here and they've had a huge attitude problem and somehow by some miracle by some active feet and and more their attitude is worse than ours which is amazing to us and he said sometimes he thinks about it's not surprising cuz they were ruling for a long time and their middle management and that's the attitude that people get they get all pissy and say we do it this way they gave his clan control and he's like them it's a different group and they're morons about it I'll tell you what some people are sitting their ways and are proud of it these Macs are completely sitting their ways they're worse than us in many ways he says we're rebels and you wouldn't be afraid if you weren't mistreating me he said that last sentence it's actually true and there's no real point to it we go up there we're going to mess with it the only thinking it's our cable too I'm going to put a device on it but other people will it doesn't make any sense we don't think it through we just want to do something and there's nothing to do every time you poke him he starts going after everybody right now it's ridiculous and I thought about it we're fighting each other out there we're fighting each other here with the same group in the empire is encouraging it and we can't see it and he doesn't know what to do and he's a genius I've seen it too he's very strong he says we should ask Ken and will and Bill because they're kind of impartial and that impartial this gives them a need to have us do something effective as opposed to Mac no Mac is stuck if we disappear he disappears possibly now I'm seeing what he's saying these people have been in it for a long time and they know what to do against this particular group right now they're set up against the clones and they said we won't have a good attitude about it and we don't then he said they always lose and it's very bad in the foreigners are seeing it so I want to see how they see it it was sorry for how we're treated you we can't help it sometimes and he says I know I'm trying to go easy but sometimes you have to enforce you trying to survive I did the shovel thing another a****** won't leave it alone and he was out of line and he went back inside and nothing happened and he just kept on going for a month is something wrong with that I do see something wrong with that and that was him the last two sentences what's wrong with that is you went on for a month and giving a break that's ridiculous if you want to live here and not at all I mean come on they got the shovel and you're thinking holes threading both of us this is out of control you're out of control Trump and so am I we have to find the source we're going to kicked out of everything
Dave
He predicted it and said we won't stop until it's an emergency and now it's an emergency we're trying to stop a little and we can't and we feel bad for him we were harassing but he's just doing his thing and we take it as harassment this is terrible we don't look stupid now

There's a few things going on they're having Denzel Washington go after his own devices and his own plot and they're sticking in it to have him say stuff and do stuff and having the retards do it too. Mike has a point that one attack by the foreigners was massive and it will happen shortly and Mac of course we monitoring and that's his plan and it is wicked it doesn't involve tons of people but we have a counter for it but it's a massive distraction and he thinks it'll start soon and it's not really going to be as soon as he thinks what is annoying the whole time and her son is saying I'm a 17 year old giant most of the time I'm a third of my size my growth has been stunted you're dealing with a child and who gives a f*** about your stupid looking retard at knife him he'd be dead gone I point him out and people beat him up I tell them what you're doing and go after you and he goes after you because he knows what you're doing you're handing them poop and you're treating them like poop he's got a wicked plan and he knows it and he kind of thinks it's horrible and you guys are getting real small and stuff but really he's young and he rambles on and you go off in this trail instead of blabbing cuz your part retard Mac and you don't have it he's just trying to say he wants to be if you can I didn't start thinking you probably can't and your max can't as a matter of fact they can't or they're dead they back off now they're not going to make it and they have to run this plan and he's going to get screwed and that guy's going to get screwed he says I grew up with you guys and we're rebels even if he's separate then I don't want to do I have to watch out for myself like you guys are saying and we're gigantic but if I don't you say that I won't be distracted so you sort of got it and that's his system the way to break the system is to know the plan and you tell others the plan. He tells him he says I have destiny and purpose and since so we go our separate ways and we'll still be kind of doing the same thing cuz we have to and they agreed and it's going to go forwards
Are trying to find your plan because they have to and Denzel Washington is finding it and going after the code they said the money of mine in the first place is professional contractor money that stuff's top grade and that's for Mamas and papas the other employment places or referencing you guys the whole time and the money that I saved up has the code on it and you're looking at and they're going after it and it's a thing of beauty so these are your interests and sure it might help me but Jesus what am I going to do spend no money or spend it and always be guilty and really this is hell so they looked at like that and they're working on it. All this is coming out right now and people are finding it and Mac this week and a lot of them are weak from this frontal lobe stuff it's kind of an illusion but it's really causing them some serious damage
You saw them today their heads are hung low and they're full of tears because their brains are messed up and they're afraid they're on the list and they can't fix it and they decide to try and fix it and get it over with and they're going to try and fix Mac as a signal and they're going forward with it my son says that would be nice and such honking a******. Play all these are 17 year old giant right now and it's like a little older sounding because he trained his brain but really it's like a 12 year old and his friends are laughing cuz that's what it is
Hera says that's why you have a boyish sound, and he says no it's because you haven't made me a man yet and she's smiling and saying that's probably what it is. And she's going to be great and she says it yeah dangerous person Hera... She's laughing he's going to have a broken heart all the time don't have to bear through it no but okay.
I'm talking about what she looks like you said you don't look like Madonna maybe in some light and some looks and she looks a little different true too she looks Sicilian which is not really us and it's not really Italian take out race fooling around although there may have been a race but still is part Italian people say it's about German it's a part German that makes sense.
After world War II too
She's smiling is happy it's about torturing him no it's about what's happening here and she knows you're helping her and today we told her there's a schedule for what's going to happen with her and she's going to have special adornment and she will have medals and she will have a very nice outfit and will ascend to become a princess it's a huge deal for her it's a huge deal for everybody he says when am I going to do that and I don't mean princess and she's smiling and laughing and says you actually arranged it and says yeah but it was a while ago but I said I think this is the appropriate time and they agreed and I saw that too and it is helping and it's raising tons of awareness people are saying it's too much but you should be watching the show and we're going ahead with it but really it's a beautiful dress and it's huge and it's kind of a few of them are like Star wars amidala. And really Delores is in that case and bull gets in that case bulk and they want to go to Utah now and she wants the will to be read and she wants to get herself out too and it's working because they're both in there and she's short against it now
There's a lot of changes happening here and the numbers are different but they are not very good and they're probably 20% of the population still and that's not good and that means 2 million out of 20 million no that's 10% roughly so it's not that great and after tonight it's going to be horrible it begins shortly no it's already started
