❤️ for Winona or 🏡 for Wren (I cannot decide) pleeeeeeaseeee and thank you 🥰

I’m so self indulgent and annoying that I’m doing both at once:

Wren lives in an apartment above the coffee shop he helps his family run, meaning that the place is (more often than not) absolutely reeking of coffee, but there’s the odd twinge of sandalwood and turpentine. There’s plants all over the place and he should really move the ones that drape his bed because he keeps getting hit in the face every morning, but he hasn’t quite got around to it. Most of the time the place is in a state of controlled chaos - It’s cluttered, but he’s familiar with the mess, can navigate his way through it and he knows where everything is. Save for whatever Punk B-side or old 70s film soundtrack is playing, the only thing you can really hear in the flat is Wren humming along to whatever’s playing and the sound of Bubbles trotting through the flat while grumbling. Wren will not shut the fuck up about Criterion Collection films, David Lynch or Suspiria (but will conveniently forget his stint on Degrassi as an extra when he was 13 in which he got ran over by a bus and was permeated through flashbacks for a good five episodes.) His inclinations towards pretentiousness means that there’s shelves lined with all these really brooding and thought provoking films but he’s got a box dedicated for the self indulgent ridiculousness he’s not supposed to like which he will frequently pore through (who doesn’t love Bridget Jones?) Most of the time he’ll either be painting, pawing at his record collection or out for the count on the couch while cuddling up with Bubbles after a shift.

I’d be lying if I said things with Winona and Henrik start relatively easy or in the Villa itself. They instead start all the way in a Caravan Park in North Wales where a four year old Winona lives with her grandparents. By mere coincidence do Henrik’s family go to this park every summer as the cost of renting a caravan for the summer there is dirt cheap. Since she was raised by her Grandparents and wasn’t really around many kids, socialisation and making friends with people her age proved to be a struggle - the reach of her grandparents' influence extended to her not wanting to play games with the other kids in fear that her knees would give out and how she’d horrified Henrik the first time they’d ever met by saying that she’d soon be turning five “if the lord will let me live to see it.” When he asked her how old she was.

Winona was a gifted kid and had a lot of pressure to be this intelligent go-getter, she was expected to seek out independence as quickly as possible and although at first she really liked it and thought it made her more mature there wasn’t much room for her to be a kid and that made the time they’d spend together all the more important. It was the first time in her life she could actually be a kid and have fun and because of how easygoing he is, he draws out a silliness in her and she draws a more serious side out of him. Winona had a habit of abusing the fuck out of her provisional drivers license to drive all the way to the Isle of Wight to visit him and as Henrik would point out, there’s never been a birthday since they’ve met which they haven’t spent together. He’s a stalwart at every Visit to Winona’s family in Greece and if the mere possibility of him not being able to come arises, the absolute kick off from them is ridiculous like you’d honestly think someone died. Same applies for the Bergströms - Henrik’s Nana has been mastering her Princess Cake recipe and Winona will be damned if she isn’t getting a massive slice when she’s there.

The two of them have weathered a lot of stuff over the past few years - serious relationships, break ups, major stressors and career changes, pivotal moments and now they’re at that awkward stage where he’s a Climbing and Wilderness Survival instructor who drinks Seamoss for the flavour and she’s a beleaguered Primary school teacher whose side hustle is a podcast in which she talks about her extensive vibrator collection and how much she’d want to shag a pixie while her roommate looks on in horror. There’s a lot of yearning, pining and crushing which ultimately goes nowhere until Lily signs Winona up for love island and Winona sends Henrik this elaborate five paragraph text before she leaves (which is absolutely memed and copypasta’d post-show) which kicks off the plot of Primary. because now Henrik is wondering what the fuck his best friend is playing at going on something like Love Island when she’s already the countdown champion of 2016, just what he feels for her and how he’s going to tell her all this.

When the two of them actually get together it’s mostly awkward (the five paragraphs is a lot to take in - Did she really have to throw in a Gemma Collins quote?) and now they’re running around like headless chickens all “what the fuck do we do now? How the hell do we go from friendship to being romantic like obviously we want it but holy shit how do we go about it?” And they’re just panicking completely struggling to kiss and act romantic like normal people meanwhile everyone else is like “dear fucking god the intensity, the passion, the deep love they have for each other 😔🤚.” But because they’re so well acquainted with each other and their best (and worst) habits, the dynamic between them romantically is usually silly and they can poke fun at each other while knowing each other's boundaries and never going out of their way to push them. The love and care they have is immense and it’s especially so when they get together romantically - there was always signs of it when they were friends as the hugs would always linger and they’d get all smiley, but now they’re very affectionate and more often than not Henrik will drop off Winona’s lunch for her and they’ll always gush about each other to anyone who’ll listen. They’re very supportive of whatever they pursue and there’s no pressure to be anything or fulfill an idea of what they’re meant to be, it’s easygoing and there’s a familiarity to it that makes it so much easier and more intrinsic to them.

If that doesn’t seal it, the fact that Henrik is the only person in the world allowed to touch the Countdown teapot on the mantle probably does.

mun ask meme ! 1, 6, 14, 17, 18, 26, 28, 29.

1. How long have you been RPing? I’ve blocked out so much of my roleplay career. But I know it was middle school. High School Musical was all the rage. I had several doors locking me in the proverbial closet. Stealin’ the wireless internet from the school down the street. Just a kid with a laptop and no parental controls. Had a crush on Zac Efron so I was scrolling through Tom’s MySpace when I came across the man himself. One thing led to another and, before I knew it, I was one-lining a Troy Bolton rip off. :/ I played on the celebrity block for a minute until I found the One Tree Hill (and Degrassi and so on) side of MySpace RP. And… well.. about a decade of trauma later, I’m still here!

6. What’s your favorite genre of RP? I like to think I don’t stay limited to a specific genre, but I can pinpoint a subgenre that I particularly always find my way back to—southern/small town. I just love it. There’s just so much inspiration. I live next to these people. Know them. Heck, I am them. I do love to lean into the stereotypes. But I can flip ‘em on their heads too. Don’t think I’ll ever get bored with it.

14. Do you like to find personality types for each character you play? (Hogwarts house, MBTI, moral alignment, etc.) Honestly, creating with you opened my eyes to just how fun this part is. I love exploring a character’s deepest layers. We’ve discussed this at length. Such development just makes ‘em and my connection to ‘em so much more real.

17. Name an FC you wish people used more Honestly. I’d just like to see more quote, unquote older faces? Moms, dads, grandparents. Mentors, neighbors, that old man at the gym who is ripped. And I don’t mean just 35+ (lol). Give me that gray hair. Give me ‘em wrinkles! Throw out ‘em backs. But since you asked for a name : REGINA KING.

18. Name an overused FC that you still love to see Chris Evans? I think he’s pretty versatile. But I don’t think people play into that enough, yanno? At least from what I’ve experienced.

26. What’s the latest at night you can recall staying up til due to RPing? I mean… I pull all-nighters regularly. Not always with rp solely to blame, but I guess it is rare that I’m not doing something rp related.

28. Have you ever RP’d AT school/work? I’m constantly musing. Gotta lot of loooong afternoons, lmfao. I used to actually pencil replies in school. Those were dark times.

29. What’s your favorite part about RPing? Worldbuilding. I love connecting characters, whether it’s through relationships or developing the setting, and creating these universes to let them play. Just letting ‘em run wild and seeing what happens. At some point, with the right collaboration, these places become characters themselves, you know? I love how layered they could be. I’m always digging up something new.

Blossom: 10 Storylines That Have Aged Poorly | ScreenRant

When it comes to the era of classic '90s sitcoms, Blossom is often overlooked. People remember it because it marked the start of Big Bang Theory star Mayim Bialik's career as an actress. Blossom aired from 1990 to 1995 on NBC. The series was significantly overshadowed by wildly popular sitcoms that aired around the same time, such as Friends, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saved By The Bell, and Boy Meets World. Blossom did have several unique and defining qualities though, and the show didn't shy away from tackling controversial issues such as eating disorders and addiction.

RELATED: 10 Jokes From Frasier That Have Already Aged Poorly

Blossom's infamous "very special episodes" didn't exactly age well, though - and neither did various aspects of the sitcom. Let's take a look at some of the storylines that just do not hold up today.

10 JOEY'S HOMOPHOBIA

It's pretty much a given that typical '90s sitcoms present rather skewed views on people who are LGBTQ+.

RELATED: 10 Sitcom Funko Pops That Every TV Fan Should Own

What sets Blossom apart from other sitcoms of its era is that in many ways, it's ahead of its time. Blossom is the titular protagonist and is portrayed as being very forward-thinking and progressive. However, that's not true for some other characters. When Joey's friend comes out, Joey is very disrepectful and says it's offended by his friend's "choice."

9 THE MAKE-OUT PARTY

In Blossom's generation, make-out parties were all the rage for rebellious teens looking for ways to anger their overbearing parents. This trend would of course eventually die out, so the early episode of the series that revolves Blossom and Six going to a make-out party has really aged poorly.

RELATED: Early 2000s Sitcoms Which Defined That Era Of TV

The episode itself looks very dated (even more so than most) but one memorable thing about it was the fact that a very young Johnny Galecki guest-starred as Blossom's date.

8 GUN SAFETY

Blossom is fairly infamous for being borderline "preachy" to teens and at times taking on the tone of an after-school special. Degrassi is a good example of a show that managed to get important messages across to the viewers, all the while maintaining storylines, characters, and relationships that felt intriguing.

RELATED: 10 Hilarious Two And A Half Men Memes Only True Fans Understand

Throughout several "very special episodes," Blossom managed to get an important point across, but it almost always fell short in every other department, trading good writing and character development in for the moral at hand. This is exactly the case with the episode "Gun Safety." This is obviously an extremely important and relevant message, but its the series' execution of this that dates it terribly.

7 SHELLY'S COUSIN

In season four, Blossom made the progressive decision to introduce Shelly, a black woman, as Tony's girlfriend. The two would go on to have one of the most significant relationships of the series, a fairly impressive choice for the show.

In the episode "Blue Blossom," Shelly's cousin, Robin, comes to visit and is appalled to discover that Shelly has married a white man. Despite being one of the better "very special episodes," this one still falls short in its execution.

6 BLOSSOM & DRUGS

A season two "very special episode" is all about marijuana. This is a pretty typical storyline for '90s sitcoms, and since the topic wasn't really as controversial or touchy as some of the other issues Blossom tackled, you can probably imagine that "The Joint" was pretty dull.

The storyline is that Blossom and Six want to experiment with marijuana, but Blossom's dad ends up finding a joint and immediately thinks it's Tony's, who was a former drug-addict.

5 BLOSSOM DELIVERS SHELLY'S BABY

The season 5 episode, "Oh Baby!" was probably the craziest episode in Blossom's entirety. It was one of the more rich, exciting storylines, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it aged well. The whole episode revolves around the concept of Blossom delivering Shelly's baby.

RELATED: 10 Jokes From Modern Family That Have Already Aged Poorly

This is at best, a big stretch, and at worse, completely ludicrous. Tony, an EMT, does talk Blossom through the labor (while being held at gunpoint by one of his patients, of course) but "Oh Baby!" was definitely not grounded in reality.

4 SIX'S FAMILY

Blossom may have portrayed the Russo family as being somewhat dysfunctional, with the mom walking out on them and leaving Nick to raise them on his own, but nothing quite compares to Six's family. In the pilot, which is often regarded as being non-canon to the rest of the series, Six actually explains that her peculiar name was given to her because of the number of beers her parents drank before conceiving her.

RELATED: 10 Sitcoms From Before 1970 That Still Hold Up

Throughout the series, Six's family is often portrayed as being ridiculously dysfunctional, and yet it's often swept under the rug. That's why this storyline has not aged well at all. Girl Meets World actually managed to handle a similar topic in a much better way.

3 THE DANCING

It only takes one glimpse of a Blossom intro and theme song to understand why Mayim Bialik recalls the series as being the "biggest embarrassment of her life." That statement may seem harsh, but it does make more sense once you realize just how much the crew had Blossom dance.

RELATED: The Worst Thing Each Main Character From The Office Has Done

The "Blossom Dance" had a more prominent presence in the early seasons, when Blossom and Six would dance spastically in nearly every episode. That's not to say that this spectacularly '90s dance died out in later seasons, though.

2 BLOSSOM & VINNIE

Blossom's relationship with high school bad boy, Vinnie, was meant to be the main romance of the series, but their true dysfunctional, rather questionable nature is hard to ignore. The dynamic between the two characters was tepid at best, and they had nowhere near the chemistry to be the leading couple.

RELATED: Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Jake Peralta's 10 Best Undercover Identities

Audiences were supposed to root for Blossom and Vinnie, but the constant drama, cringe dialogue, and questionable portrayal made that almost impossible.

1 JOEY'S WOMANIZING

It seems to be a trend in sitcoms that Joey is a womanizer. You could apply this statement to so many different sitcoms, and that's pretty ridiculous. Blossom's brother, Joey, had the stereotypical Joey personality and lacked almost any depth.

Blossom's Joey brought the comic relief but was one of the flattest Joeys ever to appear on a series. Not to mention, the womanizing was just plain disrespectful and in bad taste.

The site lingered with Lange for years, long after such deathly visages had become familiar and Lange became an international authority about such things. Lange would always recall that first moment, staring into the hospital room at Nick, as the event that separated his Before and After. Years later, Lange could instantly remember the date, the way he could recall the anniversary of his marriage or his kids’ birthdays.

It was November 1, 1980, the beginning of a month in which single frames of tragedy in this and that corner of the world would begin to flicker fast enough to reveal the movement of something new and horrible rising slowly from the earth’s biological landscape.”

Drake - More Life - REVIEW

Drake More Life

So, you know Drake by now. Champagne Papi, 6 God, the reigning pop rap supreme superstar out of Toronto needs little introduction at this point. Despite being such an easy target with his melodramatic crooning and lyrical themes, being a former Degrassi cast member and universally being portrayed as one of the softest rappers in the genre, something about the dude is just untouchable. His last album easily being his clumsiest, even up to the poorly photoshopped album cover, was one of his most successful and recognized albums in his discography. He came out on top of a very well documented beef with Meek Mill over ghost writing allegations that could have destroyed another rapper’s career, yet the man can still be heard on the radio and found in memes everywhere.

More Life is the 8th project of new material from Mr. Aubrey Graham, but it’s the first playlist he, or any artist that I can recall, has officially put out. Now why is More Life a “playlist”? Well, one could look at as how it’s advertised as “a collection of songs that become the soundtrack to your life”, a direct quote from Champagne Papi himself. However, if you have any capacity to detect bullshit and you’ve actually listened to the, ehm.. playlist, it becomes very apparent this is a cop out for not having any sort of direction or fresh ideas other than pulling every left over out of the fridge, splattering it at the wall in How-to-Basic fashion, and hoping it gets viral. Unfortunately, it probably will, because it always does.

“Free Smoke” is the first song here, and it starts off on a really good note. It’s the typical braggadocios, ‘came up from nothing’ Drake that sounds aggressive and confident which was absent from a big portion of Views. However, the problems start popping up really quick immediately at the 3:39 minute mark with the hilarious “No Long Talk”. The most laughable thing about Drake’s recent years have been his incessant need to gentrify other genres, most notably Caribbean dancehall. Now, he’s set his sights on UK grime; the results are possibly more nauseating. I mean the appearances of grime heavyweights, Giggs and Skepta, is fine. They do their thing, it sounds great, but the problem is fucking Drake. Here we have a Canadian rapper spitting bars about “tings” in a fake British accent. Consistently on this ‘playlist,’ as well as on his last album, Drake is playing completely against his strengths, bending his back into ugly contortions to try crossing genres that have a bold, yellow ‘Do Not Cross Police Line’ in front of them.

With that being said, when Drake does play to his strengths like on “Free Smoke,” “Sacrifices” with 2 Chainz and Young Thug, “Do Not Disturb,” and others, he crafts some songs that could have fit nicely on some of his better albums. Still, there’s even something off about these songs, along with “Ice Melts” and “Portland” with Quavo and Travis Scott. A lot of these songs are underwritten and underproduced; they often feel flat, unfinished and ultimately underwhelming. Not offensively so, not like any of the dancehall, R&B or grime tracks that will likely never be my cup of tea (at least not any tea that Drake is serving), but it’s clear that the highlights here are just passable moments as opposed to real, grandiose must-listens.

So, yeah. It’s mediocre. It’s certainly less offensive and obnoxious than Views was, but not any more interesting. More Life could even be a sign of something more grim in the imminent musical future. Like everything, Drake is getting a pass on this. We have an artist blatantly releasing what’s either B-sides, unfinished material or both. Lazily hobbling together a record and calling it a playlist to deflect criticism of how lackluster, unfocused and disengaging it really is. For whatever reason, Drake and his team seem to have their fingers on the pulse of… something. So, like most trends, I would expect this to be copied. Expect more playlists, less mixtapes, less hype singles and possibly, less albums. Perhaps, the title of the best and most focused release from Drake is finally coming full circle. If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.. it’s just too late and you’re not getting anything better from Drake. He’s already at the top and will be standing at the top until he gets thrown off the precipice. After all, he started from the bottom. He doesn’t need to work hard anymore. Though maybe, the artist’s self described “playlist for your life” is secretly something more. As artists get more complacent, perhaps it’s time for listeners to demand more and this is the call to arms. Hopefully whatever this sensational meme-machine brings us next is something more than merely passable and something more than More Life.

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.

Repost, don’t reblog.

– BASICS.

NAME: blythe PRONOUNS:  she/her SEXUALITY: asexual TAKEN OR SINGLE:  single

– THREE FACTS.

ONE: I can quote the entire Back to the Future trilogy start to finish TWO: I’ve been playing the sax for 14 years, basic piano for a year, some guitar/ukulele, and I can play a scale on trombone THREE: I hate pineapple on pizza

– EXPERIENCE.

HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): Like 10 years at this point, possibly more? PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED:  proboards, invisionfree, jcink, tumblr BEST EXPERIENCE: Even with some lows, rping on tumblr has been so nice? Indie rp is hard to do in forums but on tumblr it’s so easy and it’s exactly what I needed because I can rp on my own terms and everything’s honky dory.

– MUSE PREFERENCES.

FEMALE OR MALE: I lean more toward female muses but males do grab my attention every now and again. On my multi I currently only have Colonel Jack O’Neill from Stargate but I plan on adding Craig Manning from Degrassi and Mr. Feeny from Boy Meets World once I get more active over yonder. FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: Angst and fluff. PLOTS OR MEMES:  both honestly? I’m a meme hoe but I love plotting AUs and such, as well. LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: either/or, depends on the thread. I get carried away at times. BEST TIME TO WRITE: morning, usually. it can fluctuate. ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): Usually, when I pick up a muse, it’s because there’s something I can identify with (though that’s not always so). With Sidney, I’ve gone through some stuff (not nearly stuff as horrific) and I’ve gotten through it, and Sidney’s whole arc as a survivor and how she stops letting herself be a victim of all the bad stuff in her life is really inspiring to me.
