#fuck being politically correct i want what these bitches have

[nolonger-ams]

Listen I do understand that while political systems are flawed they are often working better than they used to, and I understand it takes a while for change to occur and for change to occur there needs to be a better system to replace it with.

I understand that balance is needed and the government is mostly doing quite well.

That being said, I hate it.

So I'm an anarchist because it is simply a more fun aesthetic, and because I'm a teenager and I'm allowed to be angry at the world, and I'm allowed to protest and be radical and campaign for better rights for the people who need it, and I will.

[newwavesylviaplath]

there's this one specific take i have on feminism that borders on straight up man hating territory and ive never voiced it cuz i was afraid i was gonna be called a crazy bitch who took things too seriously but i just saw someone bring it up on instagram so fuck it.

!!warning angry woman with beliefs that aren't the most politically correct!!

i fucking hate how much we've romanticized and idealized 'dad bods' not that having a 'dad bod' is a bad thing; i'm all for the body positivity movement, i don't think anyone should be ostracized for their weight AND i have no problem with people whose preference actually is 'dad bods' HOWEVER i hate that it's become almost a trend because it's straight up the perfect example of a double standard. you don't see anyone talking about how 'mom bods' are in and even if u do i guarantee it's not in the mainstream. i'm not saying men being chubby is bad in any way but what i am saying is that we cut men so much slack when it comes to physical appearance and they do not reciprocate whatsoever. same thing with like 'hot rodent boyfriends' or men with big noses- all of these things are fine within themselves and should not be vilified as for the most part we cannot do anything to change our appearance but i hate that the media has been constantly pushing the same ideals on womens looks since the literal fifties when men don't even have to dress nicely or GOD FORBID try and take care of themselves and they'll STILL be able to do whatever the hell they want.

i'm not saying all men have to be jacked. i'm not saying being fat is bad. i'm saying that we never let this shit slide with women so it's fucked that we do with men.

hii!! could u please do headcannons for katsuki in a relationship with a trans man reader?? Tysm!!

Of course lovely! And thank you so much for sending in a request! Please feel free to correct any mistakes that I make, but I'll try my best! I wasn't exactly sure how to make the hc's specifically relationship orientated, so it's sort of a thin line sorry! c/w; afab, lgbtqia+, course language, menstruation, no quirks mentioned

He honestly had no clue you were trans when the two of you met for the first time. He had no reason to. And tbh, he didn't give a fuck when you told him. He sort of just.. shrugged and moved on? Nothing more, nothing less. But if you weren't already out when you met him and you realised how you truly felt a bit into the friendship.. he still didn't give a fuck! He accepted you, obviously, and he 'encouraged' you, in his own way, to test things out.

"Okay? Fuck does that have to do with me?"

He especially liked helping you pick out clothes. When asked to go with you to go clothes shopping, he would complain and tell you to get someone else to go with you.. but he would still grab his keys and rush you out the door (: (That's why your style is majorly inspired by his.)

When you told him what your new name was, he immediately said that it was better than your other "shitty ass" name. He also changed your contact name as soon as he could.

When you got your first masc hair cut you didn't tell him beforehand, so when you bumped into him and surprised him with it he stared at it for a good minute with a frown before saying that it looked better than the "rats nest" you had before. Bonus points if you did any form of bleaching and/or dyeing it, he says it makes you look less boring.

"At least now you look like you actually have a personality."

If he catches someone calling/referring to you by your deadname, whether it was intentional or not, he's onto their ass IMMEDIATLEY and he is NOT polite about it. He will sass them tf up.

"Who's that? Oh, you mean ****, right?" "Come again?" / "Excuse you?" / "Pardon?"

Kinda had no idea what binders were before you told him what they were used for. Insisted you got ones with cool designs and called you boring for getting solid colour ones only.

Genuinely became so much more involved with the LGBTQIA+ community because of you. His first Mardi Gras was a night he will literally never forget, for both good and bad reasons. If you dare MENTION a feather boa, he'll start having flashbacks.

He doesn't put that much thought into his sexuality. He's just the type of person to not gaf, yk? Call him what you want, he wasn't gonna sit there and confirm or deny. He just knew that he had been attracted to girls and guys his whole life, regardless of the extra stuff.

When you got your period for the first time around him he was pretty neutral about it. When you mentioned the dysphoria it gave you he did try his best to console you, but it just ended up making you laugh. He really did try to keep you distracted, even if he struggled exponentially. He let you use his Netflix to watch a movie/TV show while you hung out. ACTUALLY understood that cramps hurt like a bitch and gave you pain relief and snacks.

"Jeans cannot be comfortable for you right now, ya masochist."

Went with you to every T-shot appointment. He wasn't obvious about it but he always made sure that his hand was there for you to hold if you got paranoid about the needle hurting. Noticed the effects quicker than everyone else and claimed that he "won" at being the most supportive.

"You guys suck at this."

He helped you save up for top & bottom surgery and surprised you with the rest of the money you needed on a random Tuesday night. He'd never admit it but he "almost" teared up at the sight of how happy you were that night. And you'll pretend like you never saw the tear roll down his cheek.

OMG the scene where Charlie baby talked to Baxter irked me SO bad! Like what are you doing?!? Youre a grown ass adult talking to another grown ass adult, you dont talk to people you just met like that EVER!

Like what was the point of the scene?? To be funny? Cause it isnt, there is no joke, punchline, nothing, its just Charlie being rude to a random stranger that she just met.

Was it to make Charlie look like an "adorkable kawaii potato that LOVES cute little things :3"? Then someone tell Vivziepop that it isnt 2014 anymore and nobody likes these characters, epecially when theyre ADULTS, theyre just really fucking annoying.

This is why i hate the Show's Charlie, they try to sell her as if she is oh-so-nice and the most kind person in the world that CARES about others issue's when she is actually a priviliged bitch that thinks she has the solution to every problem in the world when she doesnt understand shit about other's people's situation nor cares enough to listen to them.

She reminds me to these internet e-celebrities that build their whole image on being wholesome and sweet but then when theyre asked to talk about some societal problem they decilne because "sowy i dont want to bring politics to my channel :3 xoxo".

It would have been interesting if she was written this way on PURPORSE. Like at first her being a naive, rich, priviliged princess that never faced any real problems and thats why she is sure that she can easily solve other's problems by doing what she says, and as the show progresses she starts learning to LISTEN to other's explaining their situation and why the solutions arent as simple as what she was made to belive growing up privileged.

But since Vivziepop lacks any self awareness the show tries to convice us that her ways are the correct ones, and that everyone should do as she says in order to fix everything and that her acting like an ignorant asshole to thers its ok because its "cute :3".

Maybe im just exagerating because im a short person with a baby face who got treated a similar way Charlie talked to Baxter by other adults, and i dont think i need to clarify you should definetely NOT do that to other people like that, like how do people not realize its rude as shit.

Its embarassing how upset i got at this, i hope this show gets cancelled as soon as posible.

Yeah, that was pretty vile. It was that unbearable scene where she forced them to play rhyme-and-clap games all over again, and that other unbearable scene where her idea of redeeming them was putting them in stupid outfits and having them read from scripts.

I hate series Charlie so much.

Acotar Rant Time

Tonight I'm feeling the audacity, so I'm just gonna say it.

Feyre was far more respected and far more highly regarded in the Spring Court than she ever has been in the Night Court.

In the Spring Court, she was brought in as their last hope. The savior, the High lord's salvation. And she fulfilled that, she became their salvation, their warrior, the Spring Court's champion of sorts. She was the Cursebreaker. She may not have been High lady, but to be honest. She had the same responsibilities and expectations. She was second only to the High lord, and for a 19-year-old with no experience in politics, nor any knowledge of how the Court's function, those are some pretty damn high expectations. Everyone respected and adored her. They didn't want her to help with rebuilding because they respected her as a leader and wanted her to rest. If Tamlin became incapacitated for some reason or another, she would be the one to step up into his position. That was simply another responsibility and expectation she had, and the Spring Court didn't ever dare say she wouldn't be capable for the role because they trusted her to fulfill that to the best of her ability. They loved her!

Now consider the Night Court. The Night Court was the most closed off from Under the Mountain. Velaris never having even being affected by Amarantha, so they would've had no clue of what went on. Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I do not believe the Hewn City was really touched, and Illyria had some join Amarantha to follow their High lord, but I believe they were fairly well off compared to other Courts.

So, no one really has any idea who the fuck Feyre is, she to them is just some 20-year-old High Fae girl who showed up one day. To the Hewn City she was brought in as a slut Rhysand liked to fuck. Are they supposed to respect her for that? She was dressed in rags in the same manner she was UtM, she was put on display as a pretty doll. Everyone hated her from the get-go and had no respect for her, because she was also condoning Rhysand's abuse to them. Making them bow to her and overall being a bitch to a whole city of people. The next time they see her she is suddenly High lady. Was that supposed to make them respect her? Of course, it wouldn't have! She joined in on abusing them, acting like a horrific person, and demanding they bow to her even though she had done nothing to deserve it. They only do what she asks because they have been taught to be terrified of Rhysand.

The Hewn City has no reason to think of her as their ruler. Feyre has proven time and time again she does not respect them, so why should they respect her? Most of Illyria most likely does not even know she exists considering how widespread it is. Not to mention Feyre also does nothing to help the woman abused there, so again, why should they respect her? Because self-fucking-righteous Rhysand says so?

And Velaris. Again, most of them probably don't even know she exists. And they also have no reason to think of her as their ruler, considering she has done nothing for them, and they would have never known how she broke the curse. To them, she's just another woman going about her day, no one special. No one they care about or answer to.

This post is not to say Feyre shouldn't have left the Spring Court. This is to say Tamlin is not sexist in any way. When he said High ladies did not exist that was simply a statement of fact and reassurance they would not call her as such as Feyre at the time did not want to be High lady. He put her in a high position of power and exalted her name. She was loved and respected by all, and there was no fear-mongering necessary to get her that respect, she earned it and Tamlin upheld it. Rhysand however, dragged Feyre's name through the mud and she let him.

I fully believe Feyre had every right to leave Tamlin. However, her reputation was ruined permanently by going to the Night Court.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Why Stolas likes Blitzø

(Continuation of this post. Tldr ar the end bcuz this is long.)

Yes, Ik how they first saw each other after 25 years. Yes, ik it could have started as lust that turned into love. Yes, it's an escape from his shitty marriage. Yes, it's probably Stolas loving sterotypical romance tropes. BUT, I think that there's more than meets the eye.

(Also, when I talk about Stolas meeting Blitzø, assume it's after the 25 years unless I specify it's when they were kids)

I think Stolas likes Blitzø for how different he is than what he's seen in his life. Blitzø is loud, outgoing, confident, and just an overall gremlin. He also doesn't hide his negative traits. He's rude and literally just screams about how much he dislikes something. He's not afraid to tell people to shut it when he's sick of them. Compare that to Stolas's life, where he just learns to internalize shit and accept life as it is while following all these weird-ass royalty standards.

And listen. In my "Why Blitzø Likes Stolas" post, I said that a major reason that Blitzø likes him is because he's dramatic and wears his heart on his sleeve. But that's Stolas when he's with the people he cares about, like Blitzø and Octavia. In his regular life, Stolas is a reserved, quiet introvert who's used to other Goetia's shitting on him all the time. Before he met Blitzø, he just took people's shit and was awkward when it came to voicing what he wanted (he literally stuttered 😭). And then, he met Blitzø, who was loud and confident and came across as not caring what people thought (we know he cares a bit bcuz he looked self conscious when in the room with other Goetia's, but Stolas didn't know that). And he was really forward with what he wanted as well, which Stolas never even considered that he was allowed to do. Going back to when he was a child (bcuz this shit always starts when your young and stupid), Stolas literally cried when he realized he was going to marry Stella, and instead of Paimon listening to him to see why, he just distracted him by taking him to The Circus. Distracting your saddness and anger with other things, amiright? This is how alcohol addictions start, gang). This just shows how Blitzø being really confident and forward was just- not something Stolas was used to in his life!

Stolas probably likes how rude Blitzø is as well, if that makes sense. Like I said, Stolas grew up in royalty, and being polite is a huge thing, but being polite can just turn into being a doormat. And, I'm sure all Blitzø lovers noticed this, but he's litterally so rude. Like, he's a secret softy, but he's rude. He screams at Moxxie whenever he gets. He plays loud music and badly sings along with his employees in the car. Stolas litterally heard Blitzø insult Moxxie just because he could (S2 Episode 2, Seeing Stars). And yes, this is a negative trait, but I still think Stolas likes it a bit bcuz, let's be real here, he was a fucking doormat, and he admires Blitzø for just openly being rude.

Edit: One person pointed out that the reason Stolas responds positively to Blitzø's rudeness and insults but negatively to Stella's is because Stella means to be awful while Blitzø insults him out of love (Truth Seekers as evidence)

They also both have a weird fucked up sense of humor. Stolas is the only one to laugh at Blitzø's joke at the Circus when talking about the "gross worm horse," because it was scientifically correct (I love this guy), and he's the only one to laugh at his jokes in Seeing Stars, despite them being incredibly violent ("And then that BITCH *something something, I don't remeber the exact quote and i dont feel like checking* SHATTERED HER SKULL! There was Blood everywhere!"), and Stolas is laughing like it's the funniest thing he's heard because there probably WAS blood everywhere! And let's be real here, laughing at his jokes is a BIG sign that someone likes someone in media.

Okay, imma bring this up. Yes, Stolas had a crush on Blitzø when they were kids. Yes it was cute. Yes, his blushing was adorable. BUT, kids have crushes differently than teenagers and adults. In elementary school, a girl I knew had a crush on a boy because he had a cool shirt. Stolas probably started having a crush on Blitzø because his doll was an imp, and Stolas was mostly raised by the imp butler, so he found comfort in imps. I wouldn't call that fetishization just yet, bcuz he was just a kid, but I just want to point it out. And while I do think this, I think he also started liking Blitzø as a kid because he thought he was funny and fun to hang out with.

Also, Blitzø is just- silly! He likes bad jokes. He sticks his tongue out when he's being a troll. He loves horses and draws them all the time- even drawing Stolas & Via as horses and giving it to Stolas as a gift (I'm not making this up, this was from Blitzø's twitch because he had that)

He makes goofy faces all the time. His eyes dilate when he's happy. He loves games. He follows the "Byeeeeee <3" trend in cartoons. He likes playing with stickers. He likes going to the park and playing with the horse toys 😭

And going back to the "He grew up in royalty thing where he had to fit rigid social standards," thing, all of this would just be cute quirks to Stolas bcuz he's not used to it! He admires Blitzø a lot just because of how much of himself he is!

Blitzø is also really brave (reckless depending on who you ask, but we're on Stolas's perspective here!). Blitzø, the lowest denizen of Hell, scaled the walls of a literal Goetia prince bcuz he wanted to fuck him (again, Stolas's perspective). His business is about going to Earth, something implied to be illlegal if you don't have permission from a higher up, to kill people. He's litterally an assassin and skilled in combat. And, if you haven't figured it out by now, a lot of crushes start by admiring the traits that you don't have (how we all confused gender envy with crushes, lmao). And while I'd argue that Stolas is pretty brave now (going full demon mode on Earth, still standing his ground when Striker was threatening him, "THAT WAS THE SOUND OF A FUCKING DIVORCE!"), he wasn't when he met Blitzø. I already talked about him being a doormat, so I won't talk about it again, but we all know how he was.

And, my favorite thing about romantic ships, ✨️The Connection✨️. Blitzø and Stolas spend a lot of time together on the Full Moon, and sometimes not even all the Full Moon. A basic thing of BDSM etiquette is after care and making sure your partner is okay. And, knowing Stolas's romantic heart, he probably fell harder during the aftercare, where they had to care for each other and talk about stuff. Honestly, I wish they showed the aftercare in the show bcuz I feel like it could add so much more context to their relationship. VIVZIE, PLEASE!

I've been keeping this mostly PG13, but yes, they are very sexually compatible, which Stolas has literally never felt until sleeping with Blitzø.

Blitzø is also just a very loving person. He doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve like Stolas, but when he likes something, he lets everyone know . He loves his daughter and is super affectionate with her. He loves his business and his employees, and he likes getting to know them and doing fun stuff with them (Harvest Moon festival). Like said before, he loves horses and draws them all the time and carries little horse toys with him everywhere. Like, THIS IS HIS FACE WHEN HIM AND STOLAS MADE HORSES OUT OF CANDLE WAX TOGETHER. It's so cute!

Stolas grew up litterally being told, "Excitement is unbecoming of a Goetia" (S2, episode 1, The Circus), and Blitzø is literally excited a bunch of the time. Honestly, I think it's really sweet that they both like each other for the emotion they show.

Oh! This too! Bryce Pinkham said that Blitzø is "someone that Stolas fan truly be himself around."

Stolas doesn't feel like he has to put an act on around Blitzø. Notice how he's a lot more open and theatrical around Blitzø, and he's not afraid to get dressed up (he never got dressed up for the Gortia parties other than his basic outfit, lol). He's goofy and flirty with him and acts really excited and affectionate and smiley and just- overall a lot more comfortable! Compare that to when he's with the other people, where he's more reserved and quiet ang goes along with whatever. Yes, The Goetia party, but that's with people he hated. Compare it to how he was when he was helping Ozzie. Yes, you could argue that he was nervous about the Asmodean crystal and Fizz, but it's still a noticeable change. He's quiet and seems stiffer than when he is with Blitzø.

(The only other person he is open with like he is with Blitzø is Via, and he also loves Via. Honestly, he's just a really outgoing person with the people he loves/feels comfortable around).

Idk what else to say. I've been typing this shot for 2 hours straight. Enjoy my weird Ted talk about a kinky owl demon. If you have anything you'd like to add, please tell me, I'd love to hear it!

Tldr; Stolas likes Blitzø because he's different than what he's used to, he's confident, he's himself, they both have a weird fucked up sense of humor, he's brave, he's silly, they have a connection past sex, they're very sexually compatible, Blitzø is a very loving snd passionate person, and Stolas can be himself around him.

Okay, extremely dumb thing that doesn't matter, but did you know Barn Owls are attracted to Barn Owls with a lot of spots? Please note that Blitzø's scars made him have a lot of spots around his body. This person also went over gay barn Owls courtship and its litterally how Stolas and Blitzø first slept together, I can't stand this show sometimes 😭

Please tell me what the twst fandom labelling Leona- a character who likely has depression- as lazy is if it isn't ableism.

Ableism takes many forms and a common example of ableism is the belief of "You have ono excuse, you're just lazy!' Or "you should just try harder!"

This is often directed at both physical disabilities or mental illnesses, and it it can very much be directed at someone with depression.

Instead of being a little bitch in the comments and telling me "Stop throwing around words you don't understand :3" or "Okay I get it you have a disabled friend, but you can't use that word whenever you want :3" without knowing a fucking thing about me, politely correct me and explain why you disagree.

I have both witnessed and experienced ableism. Ableism is not exclusively directed at people with physical disabilities.

So if the fandom's treatment and opinion of Leona, a character who has a very real and very non glamorised depiction of depression, is not ableism then what is it?

WIBTA for defending my friend from their wife?

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 < to find later

This has been bothering me for months and I need an outside perspective. I’m (24X) in a group of friends that consists of several people including a married couple, Alex and Caitlyn. I have known both of them for the same amount of time, so it’s not as if I feel like Caitlyn is intruding on our friendship or anything. We’re all in our 20s.

We’ve been playing D&D together for over a year and have been friends for longer, and Alex is the Dungeon Master and the rest of us are players. Their wife, Caitlyn, is very aggressive toward Alex when they DM— yelling at them, calling them names like “a fucking bitch,” screaming at them to shut up, and withholding affection when they play NPCs (i.e. the villains) and deal damage against Caitlyn’s character, which they of course are also dealing against the rest of us— there’s no unfair targeting happening. She also refuses to do her own basic math at the table, and gets mad at Alex if they don’t add a single-digit number to her dice rolls for her. Alex never returns this behavior, as far as I can see.

For additional context, Caitlyn holds VERY questionable opinions about race, gender, and sexuality, even though she herself is queer. She misgenders the trans players at the table (correcting herself occasionally) and is a massive Harry Potter fan, even posting things online like “I don’t care, I’m still going to play Hogwarts Legacy.” This is bizarre to me because Alex is one of the kindest, most third-eye-open people I know, esp when it comes to social and political issues.

All of these factors have caused tension at the table, and I’m worried that I’m simply biased against Caitlyn for her questionable views. I don’t know what to do in this situation. I don’t want to insert myself into someone’s marriage, but it’s very upsetting to see my friend being treated like this, and I know I’m not the only person at the table who has noticed it. It feels like verbal abuse.

So WIBTA if I spoke up at the D&D table whenever Caitlyn treats Alex like that (yelling, name-calling, withholding affection, etc.)? Just to say things like “Come on, man” or “Let’s be nice” or “They’re just playing the character”?

stray my stand in thoughts in no particular order (e1-7 spoilers) ~

sorry it's long lmao I have a lot of jumbled thoughts that I need to yell about so this is me screaming into the void

Joe being used as a stand in by ming and tong is very telling

ming honestly doesn't act like a spoiled rich brat. he's occasionally entitled, but he's very polite to staff and he genuinely cares for his sister.

I don't think that ming wants to hurt his sister. he wants tong to choose him instead of his sister so that he can break her heart instead and then ming isn't to blame

idk if ming was ever trying to be subtle to Joe about what he was to him. he flat out told him he was a stand in (just didn't mention for who)

Joe getting a second chance at a maternity figure only to have her immediately fall into major trouble and then health issues has got to be triggering the fuck out of Joe rn

do we find out where Joe 2.0's spirit is at all? and what happened to OG Joe's body??

jfc poom is so pretty I can't focus

ik sol and ming are more than likely gonna become friends at some point but my messy ass would LOVE to see them be bitter bitches to the end with each other

where did ming get the chain....?

it's making me so fucking sad that Joe is falling back into his previous direct footsteps bc of his situation and its literally all he knows to do. same people, same habits, same mannerisms, same career, everything

he has an opportunity to completely rebrand and live his life without being under ming's thumb but he is consciously choosing to stay around him. why? what is so alluring about the person who used and emotionally cheated on you for who knows how long and then drunkenly called you the target of his actual affections????

Joe is not only too humble. I think he genuinely doesn't think he deserves better. this life is all he's ever known and he's never had the stones to try and improve himself and get his own life

his job is literally to be a nameless, faceless body double who does the work for a person who gets to take all the credit

(not that I'm shit talking real stunt doubles. y'all are the core of my fave action movies and ily)

but it says a lot about Joe's character and how passive he is usually and it's so interesting to me that he's the big risk taker when it comes to his stunts but he's too scared to make a move to improve his life or branch out on his own

those inconsiderate little bitches. you can't just add a character willy nilly to an already finished script. it'll throw off the whole movie and that's way more work for the writers

yo that hesitation at Joe not being able to break those mugs???? I felt it physically that was GOOD FUCKING ACTING

sol has never done anything wrong in his life he could murder someone in front of me in cold blood and I would help him cover it up

I would come out to sol i trust him with my party drink I'll go to war for him

damn bro how the hell did Joe get roped into being a stand in for HIMSELF that's some meta shit right there. like how is this not just self harm bc that's what it seems like to me

tharn? that's a new name. will we meet him?

ming's condo being green and gold like Joe's old house I am chewing on fucking concrete

OH THE MIRROR SWIPE THE HARSH REMINDER THAT HE IS IN ANOTHER BODY AND THAT HE IS USING THAT BODY AS A STAND IN FOR HIMSELF AND THAT HE NOT ONLY SOLD HIMSELF TO MING BUT HE SOLD JOE 2.0'S BODY GOD THAT WAS *chefs kiss*

is the backception here that ming is kissing Joe 2.0's back bc it reminds him of OG Joe or because it reminds him of Joe reminding him of tong hmmmmmmmmm either way: seek help babe you have a problem

the juicy juicy parallel of ming waking up to an empty pillow I'm gulping this shit down like water this is my life blood rn thank you for the delicious meal

i am not immune to the mesh shirt

AHA I THINK I JUST MET THARN

Update: I am correct

JOE'S ACCIDENT WAS A SUICIDE ATTEMPT?!?!?!?!? holy fuck bro

I thought I was going to hate ming a lot more when I started this bc I have a lot of manipulation trauma but I kind of.... get him

how old is tharn supposed to be bc he looks 16 and it's unsettling

I knew we couldn't trust that twink

YAS BABE YOU LOSE YOUR SHIT YOU YELL YOU GET MAD YOU TELL PEOPLE TO FUCK OFF YOU KICK THARN OUT OF YOUR ROOM DESERVE TO UNHINGE YOURSELF A BIT

ming is about to step off the edge I can feel it this man is about to overflow and drown everyone around him in his search for Joe

"tOng PlaYed tHe scENe hImsELF" oh so tong has always been a piece of shit got it

shut the fuck up why am I actually getting emotional over ming realizing that his Joe is the one in front of him and that it's been him all along

but on another note I am going to pound him into the cement for interrupting that shoot I hope the footage wasn't ruined by ming's emo ass

the back hug with the clear JOE though and comparing it to their first meeting?? stupendous no notes

up is going in a bubble I am kissing his forehead he acted the fuck outta that last scene MWAH

Ok Mice!

Jack x Reader go to the ballet for a holiday classic. Jack does his best to appreciate fine art 🩰 🎄🐭

18+ Romance/Humour

“Hun are you ready?” You asked your boyfriend. We’re going to be late!” You were busy putting the finishing touches on your makeup and hair while Jack was walking around looking clueless in his underwear.

“Have you seen my favourite sweater? He asked scratching his head. “Swear I had asked you to put it out for me on the bed.”

“Jackman, it’s right there. You put your pants on it.” You said exasperated you always had to get both of you ready.

“I don’t want to wear these pants. I wanted to wear the other ones.” He said to you which put you over the edge.

“Listen. You are a grown man. Wear. What. You. Want.” You said slowly so he knew you were really pissed.

“Ok you know what I love the pants you put out. I change my mind.” He said with a peck on your forehead and a smile. He could tell he was getting on your nerves but didn’t mean to. He felt helpless around you and had to make so many decisions all the time it was nice to feel cared for. This was fine most of the time as you loved your boyfriend so much, but not when he was making you late!

“You got the tickets in your phone?” He asked you as you both scurried down the long hallway to your box seats.

“Got it!” You said and showed your phone hastily to the ticket taker who swiped the barcode and hurriedly showed you to your seats.

“You look beautiful by the way.” Jack said and kissed your hand that he was holding as the lights in the theatre went down to start the show.

“Thank you baby you look wonderful too.” You complimented him back sincerely. Your good friend was in this holiday season’s rendition of the ballet classic The Nutcracker and Jack and you were honoured guests. Because of you the Jack Harlow foundation had saved the struggling ballet company from collapse.

As they finished the first number Jack was so impressed he stood up and said “Woooo!!” To which you wanted to hide. The entire house looked at him.

“Jack…baby…you don’t do that at the ballet.” You lovingly corrected him in a hushed whisper. “Just a polite clap will do and not too loud either.”

“Oh shit my bad.” Jack said turning red. He had never been to the ballet before and you could see the headlines tomorrow “Rapper Goes to Ballet.”

“Babe” Jack whispered “Where’s your friend? Is he the other dude in the tights and shit?”

You mustered all your patience and explained yes that your friend was the only other guy on stage. Jack felt kind of like a fish out of water. He had been to classy parties before but they were still parties. This was like being in church. He started to squirm and get too hot in his sweater. “I gotta stretch my legs.” He whispered and stood up before you could object. You wished he would have waited until intermission to get up because he drew attention again.

During intermission you found him animatedly chatting with the ticket takers who played basketball at his old high school Atherton.

“Them MFs we played against from Lex got a fucking beating bro. I took the shot from half court and was nothing but net bitch!” Jack was boasting as he acted out his high school glory days shot.

One of the boys tapped him on the shoulder as you were behind him listening to his story with your arms folded. “She behind me ain’t she.” He said as he turned to find you not impressed.

“Hi baby you want a glass of wine before we head back in? I’m so excited for the 2nd half.” Jack said with an exaggerated grin plastered on his face.

“Jackman...” You started to say in his full government which meant nothing good.

“I been having some knee trouble since tour and just wanted to walk it out is all.” He assured you. “Let’s get some refreshments and head back.”

You knew he was full of it but was so adorable you took your glass of wine and kiss from him with a smile. You knew the ballet would be torture for him but appreciated he supported it.

“Ok Jack no getting up and no hooting and hollering.” You precautioned before the second half started.

“I got this. I can do cultured shit. You ain’t gotta lecture me damn.” He said a bit annoyed. The curtain lifted and dancers in mouse costumes crept onto the stage. “Okay mice.” Jack said getting into the story.

You giggled covering your mouth and allowed that one infraction as at least he said it quietly and had stopped fidgeting. Not 15mins later you looked over and he was nodding off. You thought it was suspicious he had been completely still and silent for 15 whole minutes.

You nudged him as the house lights came on. “Babe! Wake up!” You said partly annoyed and partly grateful you got to enjoy the last half without any interruptions from him.

He had DJ’d the night before, had an early workout session, and studio time. You knew he was exhausted. “Let’s go meet the dancers!” You said excitedly

Jack saw how you lit up at the ballet and realized he had to do more things with you that you liked. You loved his friends but more often the both of you needed time like this. “Jack Harlow!! Can you sign my ballet shoes please!!” One of the dancers said jumping up and down.

“Of course!” Jack said and asked for a sharpie marker. He knelt down and signed her satin ballet slippers as she tried to stay calm but the look on her face showed how much she wanted to scream.

“Mr. Harlow, thank you for your generous contribution.” The head of the ballet troupe said shaking his hand.

“Of what you saw.” You ribbed him chuckling

“Thank you it was a beautiful show.” Jack said graciously

“It was dope. I just don’t like having to sit and pay attention so quietly for that long.” Jack said honestly

“Well maybe we need to get you in some tights then!” The troupe leader said a little too enthusiastically.

Jack just laughed in response but said to you as you left the dancers backstage area “I know you’d be so jealous if I put on them tights.”

“Why would I be jealous? I love the ballet.” You said

“Yeah but think how nice my shit would be sittin in them things and then I’m twirling around and lifting girls above my head and seeing all up their tutus. You’d cut a bitch.” He laughed

“Jackman. No offence but me and Neelam need to get you etiquette classes.” You said seriously

“I can be classy babe it just feels weird.” He said “I will never embarrass you like that again I swear.” He apologized

“Damn right you won’t or I’m making a bet you will be in tights if you lose!” You laughed

Okay, episode 3 part 2, mostly as cried about to @hotasfahrenheit while watching, with random additions.

Part 1 here

I am going to perish. Look at these soft, happy boyfriends? (She says as though she is unaware of the looking kidnapping)

Look at Ming being a competent boyfriend!

Help:

I'm gonna cryyyy

Joe, please stop undervaluing yourself

Ming.

He bought you a present.

The correct response is "thank you"

I TAKE IT BACK, YOU DID GOOD BABY

He is so happy about that watch 😭

Oh, ffs

HE SAID NO YOU FUCK

Mia: I lost it but I was just reading a post earlier where someone was basically like "what if part of what's actually happening is Ming actively choosing Joe over Tong just like he loves that watch, because he doesn't have to have the movie star, he can have the normal guy too" and 😭😭😭

Me: NO LISTEN

"I can like something normal"

While looking at Joe -- who constantly devalues himself and accentuates his normal-guy-ness -- with full heart eyes

Ming doesn't want a political marriage and to run the family business!

He wants a little house and a quiet life that he gets to choose

He wants *Joe*, specifically

And this is him telling Joe that! That even if he's not "special" (lies, Joe is incredible) he is still valuable, and loveable, and Ming still values him (in his fucked up little emotionally repressed gremlin way, BUT HE'S WORKING ON IT!). This is Ming looking at Joe and telling him outright "why can't I like you". The way he's looking at that watch? It's the same way he looks at Joe

Ffs I want to throw myself into traffic

May, no.

Let him say no

No one at this table is happy or comfortable

THEY WERE SO HAPPY A MINUTE AGO 😭 MING WAS GOING TO GIVE JOE THE MUGS 😭

Oh, I hate it so much more when it's Ming saying "stand in" than when someone else says it, and that already hurts my feelings so much

"I didn't know you were so close", bitch, you saw them making out in the bathroom, shut the fuck up

SOL TO THE RESCUE AND MING IS SO MAD ABOUT IT

Sol:

Ming, you already have so, so many problems, baby, please stop gulping down that wine

(I mean, I geddit, Tong sucks, but slow down)

May with the sister superpowers

May explicitly telling Ming that he should be with whoever makes him happy, after the shit show where they had to pretend to not be together is so necessary for Ming, but so ouch for me

He's smiling just *thinking* about Joe, help

Tong 100% knows Ming likes him, and asking him to stay to watch him propose to his sister is so unnecessarily cruel

Ming. You know he doesn't do his own stunts, come onnnn

My poor emotionally bereft baby

Baby, that is the back of the man you love-- like for realsies, not for safe emotionally unavailable reasons-- you should recognize him, but also you should not tear it into little pieces

Joe, put him on the floor in a blanket

Joe I'm so serious

It'll be good for him

Fine, fine, Mr Fancy Pants can get the couch

THE MUGS 😭😭😭

Oh no

The Realization

Ouch ouch ouch

No really, put him on the floor. It's better than he deserves right now

I'm losing my mind about this show

I knew it was going to consume my brain

[willalove75]

love your Rebecca welton fics so much😭, is it okay if you can write something angsty (if thats okay with you) i am just obsessed with your writing 🥺🫶🏻

STOPPPP my heart is gonna explode thank you SO MUCH😭🥺

When I tell you I literally didn't think for a second anyone was gonna like/read anything I wrote and every time I get a comment like this I like, want to cry the happiest tears that ever existed😂

But yes absolutely!! Angsty stories are so fun to write!

As you're walking through the halls of AFC Richmond, you have your head down as you jot down notes into your planner from the meeting you just came from. You notice a pair of sleek, black dress shoes stop in front of you. You pause and look up from your planner to see Rupert, Rebecca's ex-husband standing in front of you.

"Well hello there." He says with a smirk.

"Good afternoon Mr. Mannion."

"Someone's a busy bee today." He says glancing down at your book.

You close your planner and look up at him.

"Yes, I just got out a meeting actually." You say as he looks at you. "So, what brings you to Richmond day Mr. Mannion?" You try your hardest to be polite to him, even though it's almost impossible sometimes.

"Please, call me Rupert." He says with a smile. If you didn't know him, you'd think he was Prince Charming. "And I just dropped by to pay my ex-wife a visit."

A worry comes over you, Rupert never comes around for fun. You've become better friends with Rebecca since you started working here and you know his history of being a piece of shit. You look over towards the stairs leading to her office, hoping she's okay.

Rupert senses your concern and a smirk comes across his face. It's beyond aggravating how much joy he gets from hurting her.

"Yes, my dear Rebecca, she broke my heart when she left me."

"I am sure she did." You say, a little irritated.

"And I'm so sorry, but what was your name again?"

"Y/n."

"Right, of course. Y/n, such a beautiful name." You see his eyes sparkle, kicking his charm into high gear. He reaches his hand out towards you. "It's so lovely to meet you again, y/n."

You reach out to shake his hand and he gently takes it and kisses the back of your hand.

You awkwardly smile at him and reply. "Yes, it was great seeing you again as well, Mr. Mannion."

"Please," he says, holding his hands over his heart. "Call me Rupert."

"It was great seeing you again Rupert."

His phone begins to ring and he pulls it out of his pocket and chuckles when he reads the caller id.

"I'm so sorry to cut our reunion short but I have to take this. I hope you can forgive me." He says sounding disappointed.

"I'll let it slide this time." You say, still trying really hard not to be a bitch to him.

"Lovely to see you y/n."

"You too Mr.-" You see his eyes darken as you go to say "Mr. Mannion" and you stop yourself. "Rupert." You correct yourself.

His eyes sparkle at you while he answers his phone and gives you a wave. You both begin to walk away and you head towards the stairs to Rebecca's office.

"Ugh, I fucking hate him." You think to yourself as you wipe the back of your hand on your dress.

You climb the stairs and head to Rebecca's office. When you reach the door you notice it's slightly cracked open. You peek in and see Rebecca standing with her back to the door, her one arm crossed over her waist, resting her chin in her other hand, looking out of the window onto the pitch.

You gently knock as you open the door.

"Rebecca?"

She turns her head just enough to see you out of the corner of her eye, keeping her back to the door.

"Oh, y/n," she turns her head back to the window and tries to wipe away tears without you noticing. "How was the meeting?"

"It was fine," you say as you walk in and close the door behind you.

"Is there something you need?" She asks with a shaking voice.

"No, I just wanted to see if you were okay."

She turns her head again to get a glimpse of you.

"I saw Rupert in the hall and he mentioned he stopped by to pay you a visit." You take a few steps towards her.

"Yes, it's always a lovely day when he comes to visit." She says looking back out of the window. You hear her sniffle while she discreetly wipes more tears away.

You walk up next to her and look out the window in silence. You see the team practicing on the pitch below. You hear whistles being blown, the boys yelling and the occasional punt of the football.

"They look good out there." You say, trying to make small talk.

"Yeah," Rebecca says with a sniffle. "Lets hope they look this good at the match this weekend."

You glance over at her and see her tear stained cheeks. She notices you look at her and diverts her eyes away from yours. You look back out the window.

"He's a piece of shit." You say, referring to Rupert.

You see Rebecca shake her head and you turn towards her. You see more tears streaming down her face as she struggles to keep them back. Her glossy eyes filled with heartache and insecurity while she purses her lips to stop them from quivering. You reach your hand out and gently place it on her arm, stroking the sleeve of her blazer with your thumb.

"Hey," you say gently. She shifts her eyes towards you and catches your gaze. "You're okay."

Her face contorts, as though she's struggling not to cry and shakes her head. She covers her face with her hands and gently breaks down. Without a second thought you wrap your arms around her and pull her into you. She leans into your shoulder, her hands still covering her face, and begins to cry more. You place one hand behind her head and gently rub small circles on her back with the other.

"It's okay," you whisper to her. "You're gonna be okay."

You can feel her heartbreak as she cries into you. You've never hated Rupert more in your life than you do in this very moment. You've come to deeply care for Rebecca since you started working at Richmond. She was intimidating at first, but as you got to know her, some of her walls began to fall away. You admired her for her strength, her willingness to always work hard. Her smile always brightening up every room she enters, you loved the way her green eyes sparkled when she talked about her passions or got excited about something. Every time you heard her laugh you couldn't help but be filled with joy, everything about her was beautiful.

She was always the strongest person in the room. One visit from Rupert reduced her down to a puddle and you wanted to kill him for it. Especially because you know how much he genuinely enjoyed doing it to her.

Rebecca lifts her head and steps out of your arms.

"I'm sorry," she says as she wipes her tears away. She seems flustered, maybe even a little embarrassed that you saw her in that state.

"Hey," You take a step towards her and look into her eyes. "It's okay."

"No, you shouldn't have to do this," she goes to turn away and you stop her.

"I'm not doing this because I feel like I have to," you put your hands on her shoulders and look into her eyes. "I'm doing this because I want to. As soon as I saw him in the hallway I wanted to come check on you. Not because you're my boss, or because I feel like I had to. I wanted to make sure you were okay," you pause for a second. "because I care about you."

Rebecca says nothing but continues to look into your eyes. She seems surprised when you tell her you care about her. As if she thought no one in the world did.

She begins to cry a little and you guide her to the couch and sit. You wrap her arms around her and she wraps her arms around you.

"I fucking hate him. I hate that he does this to you on purpose. That he thinks it's so entertaining to do this to you." You tell her. "I hate that he does this to you."

Rebecca pulls away and hangs her head. You hands fall from the back of her shoulders to her leg. She wipes away more tears and you tuck a piece of hair hanging in her face behind her ear. You fingers linger there for an extra second before you pull away.

"He can be so cruel," she says looking down at her hands. "But no matter what he does, I still love him." She slowly looks up at you with total heartbreak in her eyes.

"I know." You say quietly.

"You must think I'm absolutely pathetic." She says as she looks away from you.

You grab her hand and look into her eyes.

"I do not. Never for a second did I think that. You're the strongest, most amazing woman I've ever met." Her eyes widen as she listens to you speak, tears building at her waterlines. "Every person goes through shit, no one is immune to it. It's part of the human experience. But that doesn't mean you're not a fucking incredible woman. Because you are." She looks away and shakes her head in disagreement. You put your finger under her chin and guide her face back to yours and look into her eyes. "Rebecca, you are amazing. In spite of all of this shit, you are amazing."

She shakes her head again as tears fall down her cheeks.

"No I'm not," you go to object but she continues to speak. "I did everything that man told me to do, for years. I stopped talking to my family, I didn't see my best friend or my goddaughter for six years. I thought his cruel comments were just honesty and I thought it was noble, I admired him for it. I never loved anymore more than I loved him. I tried desperately to be the perfect wife for him. And he told me if I ever left, I would be alone. And now I am." She looks down and cries more, you hold her hand to comfort her, she picks her head up as you look at her. "And now he's having another baby, he always said he didn't-" she looks away for a moment and closes her eyes. "I always wanted a family. I loved him so much I was willing to give up everything for him. And now, I'm all alone. Just like he said I would be."

You look at her eyes as she looks away, her spirit completely broken. You pull her into a hug wrapping your arms around her.

"You're not alone." You whisper into her ear as she leans into you. "You have the team, you have everyone here, and you have me." You place your hand on the back of her head and gently hold onto her. "You're not alone Rebecca."

You feel her relax a little in your arms and she holds you tighter. You sit there in each others arms for a minute, hoping she feels the love you're trying to pour into her. She pulls back a little, your faces just a few inches apart, your hand still on the back of her head. She looks into your eyes, the heartbreak you saw in them earlier fading.

"You're not alone." You say, looking into her eyes.

She gently bites her bottom lip, pulls her eyebrows together and closes the space between the two of you as her lips meet yours. You welcome her lips onto yours as you pull her in while your heart begins to beat faster with excitement and nervousness. She glides her hand up your neck, resting her thumb on your cheek. Your lips part enough for her tongue to slide between them and caress your tongue. Her bottom lip sitting between yours, you gently suck on it. Your tongues delicately meet once more and your lips part. Rebecca places her thumb on your bottom lip and gently pulls down as you rest your head against hers. You feel her warm breath on your face, her thumb resting on your lip, her soft hair between your fingers, you're afraid to open your eyes, worried as soon as you do you'll wake up from a marvelous dream.

Rebecca pulls away, you gain the courage to open your eyes and see her face in front of yours. Relief washes over you, you see worry in her eyes as they scan your face for your reaction. You smile as you slide your hand from the back of her head to her cheek and caress it with your thumb. The worry from her eyes washes away, and she returns the smile. Your hands drop from each others faces and meet in your lap. Your interlock your fingers with hers and look back up at her.

"I really do care about you." You say with love in your eyes.

"I really care about you too." She says, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear and resting her hand on your cheek.

You lean into her warm hand, close your eyes and inhale. Your eyes meet hers when you open them. You don't think you've ever seen her eyes look so green and filled with love. You look back at her with love in your eyes, both of you smiling, both of your hearts full of love and happiness.

any new Star Wars essays in the making, or are you moving on?

I don't know, honestly.

Part of it is "life gets in the way," I'm working a lot and so whatever time I have left is spent just messing around or meeting with my loved ones.

I've got a bunch of stuff in my drafts. I don't mind sharing it here, most recent to oldest:

Sort of a joke post of me pointing out how stressful being George Lucas' producer must've been, like this guy really DIDN'T WANT to write his fucking scripts, did he? Poor Rick McCallum. Abandoned because who gives a crap.

'Ask' reply on how EU-fueled fandom perception of the Jedi was flipped by the prequels.

'Ask' reply about the themes in Ahsoka and why the show doesn't know what it's about. Problem is, I go about it starting from the basics, so nobody's gonna sit through reading a tematic breakdown of the first Pirates of the Carribean movie, The Batman and the original six Star Wars films before I even get to the show at hand.

"Part II" post about what Ahsoka, Rebels and TCW get right about lightsaber duels, which the Prequels never did.

Quote collection & analysis on just how complex the Prequels were meant to be (in the late 80s, Lucas intimated that the Sequels were the story that was supposed to have gray morality, not the Prequels)

Quote collection on how the themes and principles of Star Wars align with Lucas' own opinions and philosophies.

Quote collection on Lucas defining Anakin's flaws.

Quote collection on Lucas talking about the fact that we need to be more proactive, which aligns with what Lumi points out sometimes about the Jedi: they should've been more politically engaged because we all should be.

Why I approach Lucas as "word of god".

Personal life/joke-y post dating from the time of the WGA strike about how Jack Black's School of Rock lyrics "In his heart he knew, the artist must be true, but the legend of the rent was way past due!" applied to me. Abandoned because I didn't wanna bum everyone out.

Correcting the notion that Dark Times-era Jedi such as Kanan or Ezra or Ahsoka represent what Jedi were supposed to be.

A comprehensive end-all outlook on how Anakin's flaws all tie together. I've written this one twice and I don't know how to differentiate it from my other posts.

A secret "Part 3" to my TLJ Luke post, in which I point out that RJ's being too "indie", while being a strong point for a big chunk of the film, hampers the film's ability to make Luke feel as badass as he does on paper. I want to illustrate a storyboard for this one, but that takes time.

The evolution of Star Wars' approach to transmedia.

Debunking Star Wars myths: a (very) comprehensive outlook on children in the Jedi Order.

Problem is that only like 2/3rds of these are fully-written... and I still need to find the relevant clips, turn them into GIFs, etc etc.

There's many other interesting Asks in my inbox btw. But I'm already behind on all these, so I haven't begun to touch them.

Then there's the drawings.

I wanna draw a comic of the meeting between Yoda and Dooku in Dark Rendezvous. I wanna finish the comic fight between Maul and Ben. I wanna draw Mace, Shaak Ti, I've got a Luminara fan-art that was supposed to be ready for Jedi June 2022 and an Anakin drawing that looks weird. No time, nor am I skilled enough. (Like, I trace, that's what I do, it's not a secret I've said so before... but it takes me a long while to do so. I'm not fast at drawing, let alone coloring.) I could commission some of these, but there are obvious obstacles there.

There's fun tidbits I've discovered here and there but nobody will care about them and I usually try to not drown my blog with bs posts.

Then there's the bigger problem.

All the things I've listed above? I'm not 100% motivated to finish. But a lot of the new stuff I wanna write about is hella negative.

I had a lot of stuff I wanted to say about Ahsoka. But it wasn't all good. It was mostly me bitching, be it about the show or the fandom's reactions to it.

I've also got more stuff to say about Filoni's take on Star Wars, but I've talked about why it's inaccurate like 8 times already, and I don't actually dislike the guy, like there's plenty of things he knows and does that I think are awesome but also people won't stop putting him and his takes on a pedestal and--

oh shit, there's Acolyte too, I forgot about that, gray morality galore, here we come. But here too, like... I've talked a couple of times about why this entire gray morality thing is actually just the gen X-ers trying to make the prequels "cool" and "complex". but I've never explored properly, with quotes and research and shit. but i've talked about it so many times that at this point it'd end up like the Filoni rants, redundant. "we get it already." as if this show didn't have haters lined round the block for absolutely sexist reasons.

Don't get me started on the mountain of lies and/or idiocy that is the YouTuber Star Wars Theory.

And yet he said one thing a few months ago which struck a chord within me and it's the fact that Andor is awesome, excels on all levels because it's treated seriously, like a proper show, not a Disney Plus one... why wasn't Obi-Wan Kenobi? Why wasn't Book of Boba Fett? And I've already established multiple times that I enjoyed Kenobi (yes, including the Reva parts) and I've established that I know what they were going for in Fett and I've established that this is mainly a "Disney Plus didn't know how to structure a fucking show pre-WGA strike" issue more than anything else... but when I think about how these could've been treated instead? When I look at the characterizations and emotional stakes of like Fargo Season 5? It's infuriating. Because it's not bad (talking about Kenobi, BOBF is awful)... but it could've been EXCELLENT and instead it was just "okay" to "good".

I just miss live action lightsaber duels, man. Like, good ones.

and i dunno. maybe I should just let it rip on all this. "go off, king!"

but I think there's so much negativity re: Star Wars that adding my thoughts on these subjects, no matter how structured and reason, will just blend into a wave of needless, un-constructive hate.

maybe I should finish the writings in the drafts and just post them with no gifs, maybe just still images?

but doing any of that feels like a step back.

So that's where I'm at right now.

Son of Bitch!

Tragically, one of my jobs in the pharmacy is answering the phone.

Today I pick up and am greeted with "Listen you son of bitch" and knew I was about to make a new best friend.

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me son of bitch. I want -" and then I hung up because abuse is not part of my job requirements.

He calls back. Caller ID tells me it's somebody who has been banned from the store because he's constantly abusive to staff. At this point he has to send his son in for his prescriptions because he's been trespassed. It will be enforced. I'm not sure what godforsaken hellhole he moved here from, but apparently you can be rude as shit there. He has yet to get the memo that doesn't fly here. Or maybe he's just dealt with retail long enough to know managers don't typically do shit.

"Motherfucker did you hang up on me?"

"Yes, and I will hang up every time until you learn to be polite. Goodbye." And then I hung up again.

Now he calls back.

"Get your manager motherfucker! Now!"

"No. Try again." And then I hung up again. I'm more than happy to spend my entire shift doing nothing but this. I can outlast him if nothing else.

The pharmacy manager, who listens to what's going on around him like it's his job or something, asks me what's up. I tell him who I'm talking to and what's happening. He offers to take the call.

No. This one is mine. I'll gleefully eat any punishment the job throws at me...but this is a battle I want to fight.

He calls a few more times, calls me motherfucker and son of bitch, and each time I just hung up on him. Mostly because fuck that guy in particular.

He calls back again and asks "Does anybody work there but you?"

"They sure do! But I've made sure I'm the one to take your calls. How can I help you?"

Finally, he requests his med refills without any further bullshit. I let him know when the meds will be ready, and he says "bitch" and hangs up.

I could be the bigger person. I could just fill what he needs. Or I could be the same dickhead I always am.

I cancelled all the refills and called him back.

"What?"

"Just wanted to let you know I cancelled those refills. You will get nothing until you can resist being abusive. Have a nice day."

Then, because I'm nothing if not consistent, I hang up.

This man called back, sounding positively exhausted but still angry.

He orders his meds again, I made him go through all of them again partially to ensure that I got them correct and partially to ensure that his suffering was maximized.

Finally he just hangs up. I'm 100% fine with that.

I've been thinking more and more about retiring and being done with people as a whole. -J

[mrchiipchrome]

I hate people who say ‘swearing doesn’t make you cooler it just makes you sound immature’ like bitch I don’t do it for you or to sound cool I do it bc I need to express myself in the way I fucking feel like. Do you expect me to say ‘holy moly I had a really bad lesson’???

Like we’re not even friends so how can you fucking dare try to tell me what to do, unprovoked and unprompted, I don’t tell you to stop being so fucking stupid and yet you are, fucking no ass, no friends, no nothing ass person trying to make me be like her loser ass self like shut the fuck up and disappear not like you’d be missed by anyone you fucking worthless piece of human garbage. Instead of trying to tell me to check my language, try checking the door before you walk in the room you Oompa Loompa, 10000 kg, no sense of style, looking like you got dressed in the dark, paler than a fucking vampire, failure, no one likes you, no bitches, no future ass bitch. She honestly needs to check her superiority complex because she’s truly more pathetic than me trying to find a gf, I swear even if she was the last woman in the world not a single person would hit, looking like an iguana mixed with a trash can and lighter fluid, she looks like the melted version of wheelchair Barbie only if wheelchair Barbie was plus size Barbie, no eyebrows ass bitch, no eyelashes ass bitch, caca eyes ass bitch, shit stained face ass bitch, skid mark ass bitch, looking like her name is skidmore muncy, cankles having ass bitch.

I swear I couldn’t be paid to be that annoying ass bitches friend, it would make me even more suicidal than just hearing her from afar would. And she pretends that she’s so good just because she listens to girl in red like fucking congratulations you’re like 90 fucking percent of lesbians, no one cares about your fucking ass music taste because you’re not important, the world doesn’t stop spinning just because you’re listening to some stereotypical artist. I swear she’s like the hitler of the school, you always have to be so fucking politically correct when you’re even near her bc otherwise she’ll start her fucking crying again like shut the fuck up and get a personality. Literally the plain boiled chicken breast of the school, she doesn’t even realize that no one likes her, and that people are only remotely nice to her because they feel bad that she has the personality of a piece of coal, she’s more boring than the word boring. She’s a pimple on the day you take the school pictures, she’s an air bubble in your veins, she’s that fucking annoying ass hoe you never want to see but always do, she’s the paper McDonald’s toys, she’s a hole in the bottom of your shoe on a rainy day, she’s the ball that hits you in the face in PE, she’s everything i strive not to be both looks wise and personality wise because if I end up like her I would legit kill myself.

I know the polls may mean nothing but they make me nervous. If Trump wins, we're all going to die. Only one good thing about Trump being president again is he can't run again after this election. But I'd rather survive, thank you very much! But I'm telling you, if you vote for Trump, you're going to kill us and yourself! I still can't believe people want Trump back after everything that happened during his presidency and his crimes and threats. People who still want him as president after everything are fucking crazy! People are fucking nuts out of their brains if they think it was all politics when Trump was found guilty and the government were trying to go after him and Trump was out of his fucking mind saying that January 6th was peaceful. Did anyone not see what was happening on January 6th? A girl got KILLED and a huge crowd rammed right into the building, starting fires.... HOW THE FUCK IS THAT PEACEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it loyalty? Fuck loyalty! Do what's best for your country, not who you're loyal to or who has the best hair, best dressed or whatever, this is not a fucking high school popularity contest for "Best Looking" or "Most Likely to Succeed"! YOUR VOTES MATTER AND YOUR VOTES WILL AFFECT OUR COUNTRY!!! If you vote for Kamala Haris, there is hope for this country. If you vote for Donald Trump, we're going to die in hell! If you really care about this country, each other and ourselves, vote for Kamala Harris! If Donald Trump wins, you don't care. You're voting for Trump because you want to prove you're loyal to him. And it's because you only care about the economy and nothing else. True, the economy is important but is that the only thing you care about? What about healthcare? Education? Abortion rights? Civil issues? Housing? Maybe we should start voting for like 10 presidents: president to take care of the economy, another president to take care of the healthcare system, another president to take care of immigration etc...(admit it, if you're so worried about immigrants than anything else, you're racist)! How about voting for a LEADER? Did Trump get us out of a COVID pandemic? NO! Did he set examples and refrain from threats and bullying? NO! Did he do everything he can to avoid January 6th or try to stop it? NO! Does he make public remarks and make sure he was consistent or correct in his facts? NO! Does he even believe in the US Constitution (bitching about how he was found guilty, demanding that the Constitution be banned, trying to change the Constitution so he can run for a third term)? NO! Does Trump ever take responsibility whenever he made a mistake? NO! Did he always address the press without belittling them or walking out on them? NO! Ok, Trump did better with the economy (well, for the rich, anyway. He prefers tax cuts for the rich and for anyone lower than them to burn in hell) and immigration and invasion between countries but how do you know how Harris will handle all those? She's not even president yet and MAGA already decided she's going to do a terrible job and we already know how Trump was in general as president and you wanna fucking vote for him??!!! People think he's a better choice just because he put up a fist when he was nearly assassinated? REALLY????!!!! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS??? YOU DETERMINE THE BEST PRESIDENT BASED ON SURVIVING AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION????!!!!! That only proves how fucking crazy people are! MAGA fans don't want a democracy (otherwise, they wouldn't have supported his insane accusations that the election was stolen), they don't want peace (otherwise, there wouldn't have been an attack on January 6th. A reported asked one of the rioters what he was going to do and he said, "we'll do what we have to! (even if it meant murdering people. Yeah, real peaceful, dude)).

VOTE KAMALA HARRIS (AND VOTE EARLY)

VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!
