BXGs + IQIYI night ( and other fandom issues ) 🍵

11/25 is upon us and i’m personally excited to see WYB at a public event but my expectations are in check. He is obviously there because of his work with Chang Feng Po Lang and he has some obligation to promote it this way. He has no drama that aired with them this year and he has virtually no ties with them like he would Youku or Tencent even if the latter was in the past.

So i’m not expecting him to be fighting it out with other celebrities present for the spotlight. He doesn’t need it, the attention will naturally fall on him anyway. He also doesn’t have to try so hard to be relevant because he is already WYB. As much as I would love for him to perform, I don’t think it’s gonna happen but I hope i’m wrong.

Anyway, since the event will have lots of celebrities, the fandom activities are on. As expected. Online, it will be making sure your bias will be on top comments about IQIYI night related posts. Or when the individual photos come out, most likely 11/24, WYB should have the highest likes or shares.

Sohu’s weibo account shared what offline activities fandoms are doing and the first one is WYB. ✌🏼

( caption: Fans of male artists on iQiyi’s Scream Night support offline. There are large-screen displays on various transportation and landmark buildings in Macau, exclusive customized banners, etc. the fans are so attentive. )

What I love about the post is the project they shared there is by BXGs. ☕️

It’s a ad screen to be played in two ports close to Macau. IQIYI night is gonna take place on the same venue where YH concert took place this year. So that’s a memorable place for BXGs too. This is not something new. If you’ve been into fandoms like this before, then it makes sense. It’s actually standard and pretty simple, nothing extravagant. There are even companies that will do voting polls and the winning fandom will have their faves on LED Ads.

Video below is how it actually looks like in Gong Bei port. So many foot traffic omg!!!! They even used an edit by Stardustkii who is everyone’s fave. && The video is focused on his Movie Era 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you look at the main post of Sohu, all the top comments are BXGS. Passion Fruit supports WYB! 💪🏼

The drama ( sort of ) comes from one of the “fanclubs” of WYB sharing and commenting on that Sohu post.

Wang Yibo Cool Leopard Club and all fans responded to the Cyberspace Administration of China's "Qinglang" series of special action calls to guide the positive development of the fandom and have always put an end to any irrational support behavior.

Reject any consumption and gathering behaviors in the name of artists; reject any irrational support and other illegal fandom behaviors; put an end to any extravagant and wasteful support habits!

Let’s all work together to do more things that are of positive significance to society and jointly maintain a harmonious online environment.

My first reaction to this, aside from heavy eye rolling for sure 🙄🙄🙄, is utter confusion. This is because as soon as WYB was announced, even before that, another WYB fan group was telling fans what time WYB will be announced so everyone comment. They were also doing test posts and preparation to make sure WYB has good KPI numbers online and offline for the event. Even WYB’s FC Guangdong Group was calling on people to meet in Macau.

So everyone was like ?????

and how some so/os were supporting that repost. I mean come on. this has nothing to do with qinglang. they are rejecting that post cause it’s a BXG project and once again, it’s a shame for so/os. it’s giving them flashbacks to what happened in YH concert in Macau where they utterly failed to show up for WYB. Tho I have to give it to them, pulling Qinglang and acting all high and mighty compared to other fandoms is an infuriatingly genius route to go. I’m in a different fandom, I don’t know what happens in the inner circle of WYB’s so/o fandom in CHN but this incident gives me the clue that they are once again uncoordinated. He has a couple of “fan clubs” and groups per city and that has always been the reason for lack of unity. I mean, hate the 🍤🍤🍤 all you want, but those bitches are coordinated as fuck. They listen to one account only. There are no scattered fan clubs. It is cult-ish in some ways but it works when it comes to making sure everyone is doing the same thing and working on the same goal.

WYB so/o fans in CHN should get their act together. I know they work so hard ( that green banner for GRA was so sweet ) and I see it, but the lack of planning and coordination in times like this is hard to watch.

Now I don’t know what SOHU’s motive is only that they wanted to cover fandom projects for IQIYI Scream night. Maybe whoever it is just saw Yibo and Green and thought that’s it? They didn’t know BJYXSZD? Who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m seeing BXGs who are going to Macau and are organizing together. I would think it’s harder to get tickets for this cause you are competing with other fandoms too. I just hope they have fun! I’m so excited for fansite photos too!

I was actually not supposed to share this cause it contains fandom “issue” which is sensitive. but the purpose of my tumblr have always been to write my thoughts… As much as cpfs are supposed to hate so/os and vice versa, I have never wished or hoped for their respective so/o fandoms to fail and be humiliated. Because they represent the boys and we support the same person.

Let’s just see what happens on 11/25 ✌🏼

#yizhan #fandom thoughts #bxgs are really something else

Blue’s Contrary Young Royals Opinions Poll (make your own if you want to!)

Just for funsies, I created a poll about my Contrary Young Royals Opinions. I’m calling them Contrary rather than Unpopular because different things are popular in different parts of fandom, and things cycle in and out of popularity, so who knows what’s popular even? Rather, these are just things that I am stubborn and ornery about. Some of them might be mainstream opinions, but I am stubborn and ornery about them all the same.

You all know that I am an August Enjoyer who obstinately ships sargust, so I did not put that on the poll. I also feel that my sargust shipping and August enjoying sometimes obscures my other contrary opinions because it’s like, my signature trait. So this is a chance to talk about other things!

Please vote and reblog for the sake of fun and interesting data. Add commentary in the tags if you feel like it. Also feel free to create your own Contrary Opinion poll, because I wanna see what other people’s contrary opinions are.

Explanations below the cut. Click if you want to know more about what each poll button means to me in more depth.

Wille is demi and bi and should explore his gender more post-canon. Now, in canon, Wille is unlabeled, and I wanna respect that. So this is more headcanon than anything else. I know some folks read Wille as exclusively same-sex attracted. I do not (although I support people doing such) but I also read him as much more on the demisexual and/or demiromantic end of the spectrum than anything else. Of course I am aspec, so I’m seeing it through this lens. On the gender side of things, well, I just think it would be neat? Wille trying on nail polish and then furiously scrubbing it off breaks my heart. It feels like the royal fam has controlled Wille’s gender expression most of his life and made him present in this more conservative masculine way, and he hasn’t had many options. I also do think Wille’s explosive anger is something he’ll have to grapple with in the future, and I see his anger as tied to a lot of the masculine socializing he was raised in. So having outlets for his feelings that are a little less conventionally masculine could be good. Let Wille wear nail polish. Let him wear skirts. Let him experiment with his hair! I’m of the opinion that even cis people should explore their gender, so even if he played with his gender expression for six months and then decided he’d continue to present conventionally masculine again, that would be good for him. (But in my heart I’m a bit of a he/they Wille truther, not gonna lie.)

Simon does some things wrong and that’s wonderful actually. Let me explain what I mean by this. There is a popular view of Simon where he’s very selfless and makes sacrifices for his loved ones and stands up for what he believes in, while also having to suffer and do a lot of things out of desperation. This is true. There is also a co-existing side of Simon that’s a little less selfless, a little more ambitious, and a little bit more likely to make assumptions about what other people want or need without consulting them. There’s the Simon who feels he has to protect Sara when she clearly doesn’t want him to, and the Simon who hides things from Linda when he shouldn’t. There’s the Simon who calls Bjärstad shitty in a way that upsets Rosh and Ayub at the beginning of season 1, who enlists Rosh and Ayub to help intimidate August in 1.3 without fully thinking about how they might feel about it. Yes, Simon does a lot of things out of selfless care for others and out of desperation, but to assume he only ever does things for selfless, desperate reasons without any selfish impulses or ambition mixed in is… well, it misses some of the most fascinating contradictions in his character. Let Simon be a selfish teenager sometimes! It’s developmentally appropriate and it might one day save his life.

Dirtbag Erik > Perfect Brother Erik. I never really gravitated toward the perfectly supportive headcanon for Erik that was popular in some corners of fandom. I know this is not a radical thing to claim after season 3 and a lot of people are coming out of the woodwork and saying it. I think the point I want to make here is less that Ambiguously A Dirtbag Erik is canon and more that he’s inherently more interesting to me to read about than Saint Erik, Patron of Lost Little Brothers. I’m sort of fascinated by the way that interactions with family members always have layers, and that you look back on past events and uncover more of the layers as you grow up. That’s the shit I live for in fiction. I also don’t love discussions about “what would Erik do if he were alive” because I enjoy sitting in the horrific tension of characters not knowing but having to build a better world in his absence.

August/Nils should have a lot more fics on AO3 than it does. As far as I can tell it has one. One! I ship August with Sara first and foremost but August and Nils have some unexpectedly tender moments in season 3 that made me go “wait, that’s interesting…” about their relationship. Yes, August keeps calling Nils nouveau riche. Yes, Nils finds August’s perfectionism annoying. These are all just tensions to play on to make the eventual bittersweet, conflicted makeout scene more bittersweet and conflicted and hot. If August/Vincent can suddenly gain more fics post season 3, it surprises me that August/Nils hasn’t surpassed them.

Linda deserves to have a life and hobbies beyond her kids, and especially beyond being perfect for her kids. Don’t get me wrong, she does care about Simon and Sara a lot and does what she can for them. And because we’re watching a show centered around teenage characters, we’re mostly gonna imagine her in her capacity as a mom. But I also love seeing the moments in canon where Linda is less than perfect—when she embarrasses her kids, or when she comes down hard on them in ways that are less than helpful—because that shows the human vulnerabilities beneath. That she’s trying to figure things out in the moment, and she isn’t always right. That makes me love her more. And I’d desperately love to see Linda have a hobby like, I dunno, writing a crime novel every NaNoWriMo or something. (I have put this into a fanfic, actually.)

Frida and Malte and Nikita are the hottest of the Main Five actors. I get the appeal of Omar in abstract way, but he looks exactly like the crush of one of my chief OCs in a YA novel I was writing, so I think of him as OC Rose’s crush and feel no draw to him myself. Edvin is a great actor but does nothing for me aesthetically. Oh, aesthetic attraction. So individualized to all of us!

Salice is more meaningful to me as a platonic ship than a romantic one. I am so glad they bring people joy as a romantic ship, and I’m happy to gift the fic ideas I do get for them to the people who love them, but for me they matter more as best friends. When I write them, I draw on real platonic friendships I have had in my real life, ones that matter a lot. Sara breaking up with August to prioritize friendship feels more radical to me. Also sometimes I think I’m a Bad Sapphic for having these thoughts about Salice, but then I remember that Heart and Homeland has so much sapphic content involving Felice and other women, as well as just sapphic content beyond that, and I sleep easier.

Rosh should be shipped with all the other girls, and frequently and creatively. Yes, Madirosh is an overnight fanon sensation we should celebrate that. Yes, Stella/Rosh took us by surprise and by storm for a hot minute, and we should do more of it. But have we considered… Fredrika trying to angrily and messily seduce Rosh because Stella seemed to be crushing on her? How about Rosh and Felice as a glorious butch/femme power couple? How about if Sara is gonna date a tall athletic brunette she dates one who plays a real sport (football) and not a fake sport (rowing)? I hope we all see the vision.

Oops Vincent is sympathetic sometimes. Look, I am not going to deny that Vincent is a bully who sucks. I also think his first year letter was telling. In the letter, Vincent, at sixteen, has just received his ADHD diagnosis. That’s a long time for a rich white boy to go without getting one! That means he’s probably had sixteen years to struggle to pay attention in class—he’s probably acting out and moving around a lot, and internalizing the idea that he Can’t Do School. His parents probably make some “boys will be boys” excuse at conferences. Then he finally gets the diagnosis and gets put on meds. My sense is that Hillerska only cares that his meds don’t make him disruptive in class. They probably don’t care about teaching him alternative study methods that actually work for him, or creating an environment where he feels empowered to use accommodations. And as folks who are knowledgeable with ADHD know, if you get behind in school like that, it takes more than meds to catch you up and help you feel empowered in class. When we see Vincent after his national exams, he’s drawing dicks in the dirt, because he can only envision himself as the class clown who fails academically. He says the academics don’t matter as a self-soothing technique. He’s become mean—mean in a “funny” way—as a way of feeling like he has a “thing” at school. And yes, Vincent will probably be “fine,” he will remain rich and go big game hunting and marry a trophy wife into adulthood or whatever. Again, he sucks! That does not change the fact that Hillerska failed him and his neurodivergences, and that he could actually have a sense of real efficacy and self-compassion for himself as a disabled person instead of just being “fine.” Daddy I don’t love him. But Daddy I would like him to feel empowered to use his extended time on tests. Daddy I would like someone to teach Vincent the pomodoro method as a study skill.

Secondary characters shouldn’t have to be wilmon shippers to be likable to fandom. It throws me out of a fic or a headcanon when secondary characters only are there to support Wilmon being the cutest soulmates ever. I don’t mean when someone like Felice offers a supportive comment to them as a couple, or occasionally thinks they’ve done something cute. I mean when characters sound exactly like shippers in fandom, with similar talking points, and when we as readers of the fic are supposed to sympathize with them because they sound exactly like us. People… don’t talk about friends and family and classmates the same way they talk about fictional blorbos.

YR does not share a universe with RWRB. This idea was more widespread in the old days of fandom, so this Contrary Opinion feels more vintage. As far as what I do think it could share a universe with, I vote for Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad novels, for the class conflict and the incredibly complex characterization. I would also say Ashley Herring Blake’s Girl Made of Stars has a lot in common with YR in terms of how it approaches trauma and family relationships.

The intimacy scenes in season 3 (especially the big one) made me feel kind of uncomfortable, actually. Something about the changes to directing style and how they were filmed. I don’t really want to explain this one right now but maybe I will someday. So this one is also there for folks who viscerally felt that too.

The lawbin hate...

Just want to share my thoughts on the hate...

First of all, I think posting Lawbin it's just my kind of fun and relax. Especially, you're dealing with your real life in the day, you just want to do something you're interested at night. So I like to write different analysis of Lawbin, even though not a lot of people care, I still want to share what I'm interested and hope more people will find their charms. I do encountered a few people that say something on the qrt when I post about lawbin, and saw a lot of rude comments on the twt tag.

Even until now, I still don't understand the hate...people just keep saying the same thing - "they are boring" "just standing together" "no chemistry" "they barely interact" so?? do you need to hate them just for these reasons?? if you show evidence they interact, they will just say "they just talk..." umm like huh so talking isn't interact? of course it's a subjective opinion. It's ok to share yours too. But I saw one tweet was like "need to abolish all the ships except frobin" like seriously? I never can imagine a one piece fan reading a manga about freedom and still saying "I need to cancel all the opinion that's against mine" did those people really read one piece? and I can say there's quite a lot of people agree with these kind of "celestial dragon" opinion.

As a lawbin shipper, of course seeing these kind of comments will make me upset or some people will even avoid talking lawbin and follow along with the "popular" opinion. Just remember that not all the one piece fans are like that, I can say at least 50% of them are not on twitter lol If I browse around the internet, of course lawbin aren't the most popular but there are quite amount of people support them. They have enough fans in japan to have their princess hug moment in stampede. and lawbin won the polls, I remember twice too!! so ignore the hate! like what you like! you're not alone!! >< And I wouldn't argue with those people, coz what's the point arguing with "celestial dragon".

And I don't hate frobin, I hate people using frobin to bully other ships. It's just that alone made me lost of all interests. And I think some of them use frobin as a shield to distance Robin with Law or vice versa because they ship Law/Robin with others. Childish af. Just my opinion though.

And if they react that aggressively, it means Lawbin is a threat to them. if they really think Lawbin is not possible, they won't even complain at the first place lol To me, all the hate is just a proof that Lawbin is possible ;)

At the end, I really hope people can respect each other opinion and not ruin our fun. Although it's not really gonna happen, try to enjoy and have fun!! I am glad more people posting about lawbin too! >< I wish we could see them interact again soon!!

Candy Coated [Chapter One] Even in Death [Buddha]

A/n: this is the first chapter of the Buddha (ROR) story that I’ve been mentioning for a week or so now. It was inspired by the one-shot that I wrote ‘Lost in Paradise’, and this story basically follows the same idea.

I waited to post this chapter until the poll went down, which asked about the gender or lack of gender of the Mortal Reader. 65% of 52 voters voted for the reader to be a female and 35% voted for the reader to be gender neutral. I have the screenshot in case anyone wants to see it, though to be honest, I did my best not the mention the gender of the reader at all unless I need to. So, with the voting done, the reader will be female. Thank you for the support and for the votes.

There is a tag list below; if you would like to be added to it in order to keep up with the story when I post chapter, please let me know so I can add you. I plan to update this story as often as possible with two other stories I’m working on, so please be patient. Read the warning tags and enjoy.

Words: 2,139

Tag list: @tojibreedingme, @quinloki, @yingxian, @2lottie2

Warning(s): soulmate au, reader insert, mentions of death, female reader.

No Minors Allowed!!

Fear devours you, tightening your muscles in a way that leaves you powerless and frozen.

You honestly don't remember much; the siren woke you, but it was far too late to evacuate. The storm had been far worse than the news had reported; it had become a category 5 before anyone even knew what was happening. You had tried to shelter yourself indoors as the powerful winds rampaged outside, but it wasn’t enough and the walls came tumbling down.

But somehow you had wound up outside, sitting amongst the wreckage.

This can’t be right. It's silent; the entire world around you. It's almost like the noise had been drained. You can’t hear the wind screaming in your ears or the houses as they are torn asunder. In a way, it’s peaceful, but the silence is also frightening. Especially with your body lying meters away from you, caught beneath the rubble of your cheap apartment.

Why are you looking at yourself?

"This is terrible," a sincere voice utters.

You avert your attention in the direction of the noise, drawn like a moth to a flame, and see a teenage girl with short lilac hair standing in the middle of the road; her aqua-green eyes are filled with tears as she stares out at the chaos.

"The Gods have no mercy," she mentions. "There are so many souls here."

What is she talking about? You raise a curious brow, glancing at your body once again. The reality of the situation hits you like a ton of bricks and tears gather in your eyes.

"I'm dead."

The sound of footsteps brings your attention back to the teenage girl to see her approaching you. If you are dead, is she some sort of reaper? You dart to your feet and take a cautious step away from her, but she raises her hands in defense.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. I was sent to help."

"How?" You ask in disbelief, motioning toward your body. "I'm dead. How can you help me?"

She narrows her eyes in sympathy.

"I can take you to the afterlife where you can move on. I'm sorry, but there isn't much else I can do for you."

So, she is a reaper. She doesn't look scary at all, but this doesn't mean that you trust her; a point you emphasize by peddling back as she takes a cautious step forward.

"My name is Göll. I'm a Valkyrie; a demigod. Um... you know, like––"

"I know what a Valkyrie is," you mention. "It's the 21st century."

What you don't understand is what a Valkyrie is doing here. Are they not mere legends? They are specific to Norse mythology, or so you had thought. Realizing that she has been prattling on the entire time about something you haven't been listening to, you raise a hand and stop her.

"So, you came to take me to heaven... or Valhalla–– whatever you want to call it." You ask.

Göll nods.

"Well, not just me. My sisters came here too." She takes a brief look around and frowns. "This was a tragedy. There are more souls here than I can handle on my own."

How many had died? You widen your eyes, a motion that doesn't go unnoticed by Göll.

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to bum you out." Her eyes fill with tears. "I'm terrible at this."

You can't help but snort. She is an animated person. Swallowing the lump in your throat, you glance at your body once again in sadness. Göll is right; it's time to move on. As much as it pains you, it's time to leave your life on Earth. Warm tears gather in your eyes, but you blink them away and saunter toward her. Göll notices and smiles.

"There's no need to worry. I'll guide you."

She offers her hand to you, but once you take it, a strange sensation overcomes you. Something tightens simultaneously around your ankles and before your eyes, a red cord appears, flickering in and out like a light. Göll squeals in alarm.

"W-what is that?" She asks.

"You don't know? I thought you were a Valkyrie."

Leaning down, you snatch fearfully at the cord, seeing that it's transparent. What is this? It almost looks like a red string of fate. But how can this be? It's in the wrong area.

When it doesn't seem to be hurting you, besides giving you a major craving for sweets, you calm down, though your heart is pounding. It's impossible to tell where the cord is leading; it twists and coils through the rubble like a snake, going further than you can see.

"What do I do?" Göll asks out loud.

She taps her green high-top sneaker on the ground and groans.

"I'll have to take you to my oldest sister. She'll know what to do."

Grasping your shoulder, a blinding bright light surrounds you. For a moment, you fear being trapped in the light, but quickly it fades. You drop to your knees and rub at your eyes.

"Warning next time."

Göll apologies.

"I'm sorry. Please wait here, I'll be back."

You hear her sneakers squeak on the floor as she rushes away, leaving you alone. With your eyes clear, you glance around to see that you are in a bare room no bigger than a bedroom; there's honestly nothing in it. Where did the Valkyrie take you?

Standing with a grunt, you saunter toward the door, checking to see whether it will open or not. It isn't locked, so you know that you aren't a prisoner. A long marble corridor stretches out on either side of you, but as far as you can tell there is no one around. You take an uneasy breath, shutting the door. Göll had asked you to remain in the room, so you plan to do just that. You aren't certain, but a part of you wants to believe that she is going to do you no harm; she seems nice enough, and a nervous wreck perhaps.

It was nice of her to try and comfort you. Though you reckon it's her job to show sympathy toward lost souls. You feel no less grateful to her. It had been a shock to see your body lying in the dirt; the lifeless look in your eyes nearly shattered you.

And then there is this.

You lift your right leg and watch the red cord flicker in and out. It's a tether; it can't be anything else. But who is on the other end?

And what does this mean for me?

The door comes open with a sudden low click and in saunters Göll and a beautiful woman wearing an elegant white dress with gold and navy detailing. Her piercing eyes observe you in a way that makes you uneasy like you are on the receiving end of a judgmental interview.

"Lift your leg."

Can she not ask nicely? Her tone is demanding, but you can hear the interest in it. Hesitantly you bend your knee and watch as she leans down to have a look; a section of her midnight blue hair falls over her shoulder as she does.

"What does it mean?" Göll asks.

The older Valkyrie stands and hums.

"I haven't the slightest idea."

"Y-you don't?" Göll questions with a squeak.

A deep sigh comes from her sister as she closes her emerald eyes in thought.

"Calm down. I know that it's a God Tether... But for whatever reason this soul has it I don't know."

"This soul has a name," you mention giving it. "You can talk to me. It's a fate string, isn't it?"

She hums.

"It's known as a God Tether here but means the same I imagine as your interpretation of it."

"But do souls have tethers?" You ask.

The woman shakes her head.

"I've never heard of a soul possessing a tether; it's for the living. Is this the first time you've seen it?"

You're certain this is the first time. You nod.

"Very well," she utters. "This warrants an investigation. Come with me."

Raising a brow in question, you watch her turn and saunter toward the door; the feather train hemmed into the inside of her dress slides across the floor as she walks. You glance at Göll a moment in uncertainty, humming as she nods to assure you that it's fine.

As you step out into the corridor, the smooth-tongued woman turns to you.

"What sort of living arrangement suits you?"

You raise a brow in question, having been put on the spot. Your face heats up in embarrassment.

"Um... I guess comfortable and simple, but honestly anything will do."

"Göll, have someone prepare this room," she orders.

Tensing, the expressive teen nods and rushes off leaving you with her. You avert your eyes at her in question.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Brunhilde; the eldest of the Valkyrie sisters," she answers with a grin. "Now come this way."

Following her, you survey the area. There isn't much to look at as far as you can tell. The walls are decorated in elegant gold trim and some of the rooms you pass are locked with electronic keypads which is strange to you, as they appear technological; far too 20th century for a 12th-century Valkyrie to have. Did they advance with the times? Perhaps they've always had this technology and mankind just took its time.

"How many Valkyries are there? I recall reading that the number is uncertain."

Brunhilde peeks over her shoulder at you for a moment, then averts her attention to the path ahead.

"There are 13 of us."

That's a lot less than you had expected. Upon meeting Göll you had known that things were not exactly as the history books had written them to be. The question of how much intrigues you.

"And you guide souls from every corner of the Earth?" You ask.

"The human realm is known as Midgard and the God realm in which you reside is known as Valhalla, or as you know it, Heaven. Gods from every pantheon live here," Brunhilde explains. "But to answer your question, yes, we do."

Interesting. You had always assumed Valkyries only led warriors to Valhalla. This discredits a lot of theories about death in general, like there being reapers.

"Do you know a lot about God Tethers? Or fate strings as you call them," Brunhilde suddenly asks.

Peering behind you for a moment, the cord slides along the floor.

"Only what media and fanfiction taught me about them. They're called the Red String of Fate and it links you to your soulmate. But I’ve always heard that the string is around a person’s pinkie, not their ankles.”

"Then you aren't aware that a God is the one who tethers predestined humans?" Brunhilde questions.

"I wasn't aware... But it makes sense."

You frown in response. Fate is only a concept to some it seems.

Brunhilde laughs uncouthly, a noise that doesn't match her demeanor.

"You seem upset."

"That some God is yanking people around like puppets on a string, yes," you answer honestly. "It doesn't seem fair and now even in death it can't be escaped."

You don't understand it at all.

"But that's not entirely true...is it? I'm a unique case or else you wouldn't be speaking to me."

"I'm merely curious," Brunhilde answers.

She stops at the end of the corridor, behind a railing that overlooks an enormous roofless stadium with thousands of seats. Your eyes widen in amazement.

"What is this place?"

"This is the Valhalla Arena. At the moment it stands as a precaution but that matters not at this time," Brunhilde answers.

You wonder what she means by this, but taking into account her entire answer, you know it isn't your place to ask. Perhaps it is a form of entertainment for the Gods and nothing more.

I doubt it, however.

With an uneasy sigh, you glance at her.

“Somewhere out there is the one I’m bound to.”

“Yes… so until I know who they are, I’d like you to remain here,” Brunhilde concludes.

You hum in understanding. Of course, you are curious, but the unknown unnerves you.

“Who is the God who put the string on me?”

Brunhilde grins.

“His name is Yue-Lao. He is known around China as the God of Love and Marriage. And for some reason, he has taken it upon himself to tether the dead.”

You get the feeling that Brunhilde wants to know why just as much as you do.

“I’ll help in whatever way I can.”

“As one would hope,” Brunhilde states.

You have no idea how long this investigation will last, but you are willing to wait it out for clarity.

Streaming Tomorrow, Friday 1pm PST!

March time! Tax Deadlines are approaching and I really need to hit that taxes section this month. :V (by how much, I still need to find out. Stay tuned to see how much the government is gonna wring me dry✨)

Anyway, I owe two rewards this week! and will be drawing at the earlier time! The polls point to a pretty HEFTY majority (roughly 90% of voters) pointing towards 1pm PST being the favored time, but I'll keep the later 5pm time for now. if viewership drops too hard in the afternoon too often, I'll figure it best to drop that time slot and do 1pm every week!

Also, indecision plagues me, and I am still getting updated commission prices done. Just remember that old prices are still in place until I make the announcement of the new prices!

=====

It will be in my discord server (+18 only!), and the discord invite code is: KUYJwJW

The code is also always in my pinned post alongside my commission info, and you don’t need to be or stay a patron to join!

For More info regarding these goals and my situation, read here!

To help fill stack these offerings:

-Ko-fi -Commission form (Still Open! Feel free to get on the list again even if I haven’t gotten to you) -Patreon -Paypal.me

Only those who support me financially can leave suggestions for the stream drawing! If you want to add a suggestion to the random stream doodle pool, you can leave it in the note on a Ko-fi or Paypal donation, on the final question of the commission form when ordering a commission, or by replying to the monthly stream reward post on patreon after becoming a patron!

Check out this Doc if you want to see what’s in the pool and what has been drawn!

Thanks everyone for your continued support!

THE RED KING from TEAM DOGWARTS and BLUE BATS

HAND OF THE KING from TEAM DOGWARTS

Please stop mentioning the Blue Stalker in our comments. They have caused a lot of distress for the Exterra community, no matter how “sexy” they are or “how many bitches” they get.

Once again, we condone voter fraud, but we draw the line at spamming our polls with links to the enemies to lovers Blue Stalker x Red King fic.

🎇 thestarsweremadeforus Follow

OFHHDFJSJDJS ITS HERE!!! DIVORCE POST!!! HAND VS KING the boyfriends are fighting!!!

Not gonna lie I was so absorbed in the potential hilarity of this matchup that I failed to realise I have to vote for someone now. I’m. Im genuinely torn 😭😭😭

To the #HEARTSWEEP people mourning their loss, why vote for [deadname] when you can vote for his transitioned self, the Hand of the King? Stop being so fixated on [deadname], he’s still RK’s gunner 😭

Btw the ship wars between RK x Hand vs RK x QoH are so stupid like the Hand and QoH are the same people???? Some miraculous laserbug love square type of bullshit? Anyways I support the prince of hearts 🙏

🍬 gunnerwithashotgun Follow

@/princeofhearts ur a freak, stfu!!! queen of hearts and hand of the king are TOTALLY different ppl (they have different bioneos colours) and ur being lumianphobic by thinking theyre the same even tho they're just the same SPECIES (they even have different cultures like the hand keeps on roasting rk for calling tuski "pearl" bc that's the way qoh learned it??)

🪓 handoftheking Follow

I’m adding “not False Symmetry / Queen of Hearts” to my bio. Like, she’s super cool, but I’m unfortunately not her.

🌲 dilfkisser Follow

I hope we get a perfect 50/50 tie. I want homoerotic RK and his homoerotic Hand to both win. I want them to stand on the podium and make out while holding a pride flag while BlueBalls beatboxes in the shadows. I hope we all win. (Except the transgender lumian theory believers, go touch some stardust)

I’m sorry in advance for sending a cursed ask, but this has been rotating in my mind since you made the post but I can’t keep it in anymore.

You know the thing about ass-birth omegas and the terf that showed up?? I have to confess that I am non-binary and I *also* didn’t think of having a womb attached to the intestines. All this time, every time there was only one hole, I thought the logical conclusion would be the baby covered in shit and growing in the intestines. When I thought of ass-birth, I imagined it like if you were just REALLY constipated, and needed to push out a big poop.

I’m having a crisis now. Is the womb theory something everyone just naturally assumed? Did I miss a memo? Is this a thing that everyone else has been aware of all this time, and I just never caught on??? Have *I* been the weirdo all this time?

I’ve been so mean and judgey toward people who didn’t write vaginas in their mpreg, oh god. (Not to their face, but. behind their back.) I’m so sorry. They actually did know what they were writing. There is ACTUAL SCIENCE supporting ass-babies. This has been an earth-shattering revelation.

Thank you for your work on the poll btw. You have brought so much knowledge to me that I wouldn’t have been privy to otherwise. I’m sending this anon partly as a way to get rid of my shame, but also to thank you for altering the course of my life in such a way. It has taught me to never underestimate biology.

Ok so I'm just gonna put all of this under a readmore for obvious reasons

You know what anon I respect you 😭 I guess it's somewhat of a medium thing, I remember reading a fair amount of omegaverse manga that actually had pages at the beginning of the story devoted to explaining the basic anatomy of the dynamics. I can't find any actual scans of those but googling "omegaverse anatomy" gives you diagrams like this (and also like ?? Extremely professional looking diagrams that I kind of wonder if they were drawn by actual medical illustrators??? But I will allow you to find those on your own)

It looks like there's somewhat of a divide between whether or not there's a separate vagina in there connected to the rectum or whether its just a cervix there separating a rectum from the womb but yeah I have to say I think the womb thing is pretty much agreed upon 😭😭 I can only really speak on the breeding side of fic things but the majority I've seen at least do definitely specify the existence of a uterus/cervix (mostly for horny reasons but yk). Very much separate from the intestines though...

Also I have to be the bearer of bad news here I guess for real life anatomy again but apparently giving birth with a vagina is also just like being really constipated. It's actually super common and normal for people to have bowel movements while giving birth (this actually is a big element of the v-birth vs c-section infant microflora development debate). Things are a lot more squished down there than people realize I think, especially when there's a whole baby there too

#baby's probably getting covered in shit either way im sorry to say #this is why eggpreg is superior #tw unsanitary #unsanitary #mpreg #tw mpreg #mpreg poll

Otome anon again ❤️ thanks for the reply! I'm quite happy about it. And yeah I'm a little late to your works bc of school so there's a bunch of works that I need to catch up on 😭 Really hoping we get a small break soon. From the looks of it, your newer works are gonna be WILD 😳 I mostly got introduced to your blog bc of your Alhaitham and Tighnari fics: Vision Qualifications and Creative Differences. I was particularly very interested in how you portrayed Tighnari in CD and adored the way reader being a writer was portrayed.

And yes! It's a game that will be downloadable and I've been learning a bit of renpy to achieve this. It's surprisingly simpler than I imagined. All the tutorials are helpful and the folks in the renpy server are very nice 👌 So far routes aren't 100% finalised but I will say that there ARE secret routes that you can unlock if you choose the right options 🤭

I'm thinking of trying to make a survey to decide some routes but I'm not overly sure what to put on it.

Thanks for all the support!!

"your newer works are gonna be WILD 😳"

??? wdym, after the last 4 fics ive written im being incredibly merciful rn in the secret pen pal event lol.

I mostly got introduced to your blog bc of your Alhaitham and Tighnari fics: Vision Qualifications and Creative Differences. I was particularly very interested in how you portrayed Tighnari in CD and adored the way reader being a writer was portrayed.

you guys are free to hate me for this: but those two fics are my least liked fics i've written hAHAHAHAH. not enough spice for me. not enough violence or dubious "food". i still question why people wanted part 2 on that tighnari fic when for me it was the blandest story i've written i am SORRY it just IS for me ya know what I mean it's just BLAND NO SPICES NO FLAVOR- i wrote about cannibalism, a dragon diety!reader, and a bunch of weird things, my small brain does not calculate why these two has more attention than the ones I actually use my brain for hAHHAHAHAHA- (like seriously, both those fics had little research whatsoever while I'm pulling out sht like Japanese & Filipino mythology, KPop culture, and fricking Abraham Lincoln's biography (no joke.) on other fics hjdasjas)

All the tutorials are helpful

my dumbass who spent hours tryna figure out how to remove the dialogue box for a CG scene: haha yeah g-good for you...

I'm thinking of trying to make a survey to decide some routes but I'm not overly sure what to put on it.

as a dain simp you know who i'd vote for so if you don't want a biased poll don't let me find that survey hAHAHAHAH

considering that you like otome games, I'm recommending this one: "I Got Reincarnated As A Server NPC In An Otome Game But A Capture Target Won’t Leave Me Alone". Don't be discouraged by that title, it's not a comedy LN at all. It contains violence and a mentally deranged cold duke of the south diluc lol. my fave blorbo.

O Capo! My Capo! can be a pretty grim series considering how I was inspired to write it because of a bad ending in an otome game fandisc. There are major character deaths (and it's 100% the readers' fault when an LI dies because of votes), mentions of drug abuse, etc. But if you like Piofiore perhaps you'd appreciate it too. Capo!reader is basically "what if Lilia had Dante's occupation and Gilbert's charisma-- oh and I guess your Nicola is Alhaitham for some reason" lmao.

ps: i think i saw you posting a question on r/otome_games about how to make the MC's personality. i agree with the majority that, honestly, you should just go wild lmao. make MC have some fighting spirit. the bar is low--

in any case, I wish you luck!!! have fun coding the game <3

#ansy-stalks #ansy's stalking: otome anon <3 #is this opinion controversial lmfao

hi, hope it’s not too much trouble, i just thought it’d be fun if before the bracket actually starts you posted your fav/s submissions for each pairing? so there’s more of a basis for voting for people not in some fandoms. thanks for doing this poll it looks like it’ll be a lot of fun!

ooh i was saving the propaganda for later in the actual polls but here's some for the ones that are losing BADLY (from the screenshots my friend sent me.

Terry/Korvo

Omg where to even begin. SPOILERS for all 4 currently released seasons ahead! So, in season 1 there's like, mostly just hints, right? And sure, there's a certain Tension™ but it's mostly played for laughs. And yes, they hate each other a bit but y'know. Personally I think Terry had feelings for Korvo even before season 1 but you can argue about that. Then, in season 2, they share some genuine feelings, they kiss and Korvo horrifically tortures Terry though time travel. In that order. They're quirky <3 Then in the Christmas special there's more emotions and kissing and also, btw, at some point we got word of god confirmation they *were* in fact in a romantic relationship by the end of season 2. Again, personal opinion, but I'm not sure Korvo was like, thoroughly in love by that point but we're certain he is by now. And then in season 3, more and more genuine emotions are shared and while technically they were posing as married the entire time, we now see Terry call Korvo his husband and mean it (after Korvo got jealous of Terry's "[standing in] line husband") but the real fun begins in season 4! That's when they really start acting like a couple and we get to see that both of them genuinely care for each other and also are attracted to each other. Oh, and they fuck on screen. They're invisible during it but they totally fuck on screen. More jealous Korvo in the finale, too, but unfounded as we learned Terry has stopped hooking up with strangers for Korvo's sake. Also, during this season we see them spooning in their sleep and it's. So gosh darn cute. And like... season 5 is already ordered. We're getting new Tervo content, probably sometime next year. And it's gonna be amazing!!!

Penelope Featherington/Colin Bridgerton:

Penelope has a long-standing crush on Colin, who views her as just-a-friend for a long time. In the show, Colin loudly tells a group of male peers who mock him for “courting her” that he would never court her in their wildest dreams, and Penelope overhears. Heartbroken, she will try to find a different suitor in the next season. But Colin will eventually fall hard for her, finding out her secret ID as Lady Whistledown, trying to protect her despite the fact that she doesn’t need it, and realizing that he has crazy levels of pent-up lust for her. They are a classic fell first/fell harder ship that is absolutely essential representation for fat women like myself. I’m counting down the days to season 3 and Penelope/Colin was the first book I read of the series because I’m so excited!

Kokoro Aichi AKA Heartful Punch/Undine Wells AKA Alchemical Water

So my Girl Kokoro has a lot of pride, she hates being seen as weak bc of her daddy and mommy issues and because of that hates it when people call her by her real name and tends to prefer to just go by HP in honor of her magical girl title, but within like TWO days of knowing Undine and hearing her call her HP she was just like '...you can call me Kokoro' and then Undine does just that all of HP's friends go absolutely bananas quoting it as 'the forbidden name' and then react even more dramatically when Kokoro just sort of rolls with it. Girl's had it bad since this waterbender pretty girl first tidal waved into her life Meanwhile Undine, whom as a magical girl struggles to kill monsters on her own since her powers are more 'support class' as it is, she's not super strong on her own, kills a HUGE monster in basically one shot when Kokoro is threatened to nearly get swallowed by it, turning her water into essentially a jet cutter. she often has dreams about Kokoro, though only realized she had feelings for her during that noted save, she's ALWAYS worried that just by being around her she's putting a target on her back (bc she's the main character so the bad guys are gunning for her) she seems really chill most of the time bc she's just a really reserved girl but like this girl can and will commit murder to keep her pink gf safe and like- they're canonically super gay end of chapter 15 they kiss for the first time it's great

Luke/Zander:

Luke fell first. Zander fell harder. They so cute (AND CANON) uhmmmmmm I can't right now I have to go fast but uh bye (WATCH THE MUSIC FREAKS ITS SO GOOD)

You know what let me take a creak at this.

💖 What is your primary writing goal for this year?

Answer: I hope to start work on an actual original story to publish either that or get more attention on my fanfics.

🛳 Are there any new ships you want to write for? (Platonic, romantic, or anything in between.)

Answer: Yes, I fell down the Island of the Slighter (A Total Drama Island Horror AU) rabbit hole near the end of last year and I officially ship Noco now (Noah and Cody) I 100% plan to write fic's for these two, but I also added my OC Dakota into the mix and now I have a new threesome pairing. I'm calling it Nocota. Also I had a few Gorillaz fic ideas that have Dakota paired up with Noodle and Cyborg Noodle could be added into the mix too so yeah going through my Poly and Pan Eria this year.

🤔 Are there any new characters you want to write about?

Answer: Yes, I already mentioned Noah and Cody so let's switch gears and talk about my other OC's I have a paranormal Investigator au I've been wanting to do for years now staring Emily this recent fic fellows her and certain killer cyborg girl as they solve a secret underground case with a master detective and a death god. :3 I'm having a lot of fun coming up with their dialog.

Does anyone in IRL know you write fanfic or original fiction? If not, do you plan on telling anyone this year?

Answer: Yes, my entire family knows and supports me I've read my work to them quite a few times and really want to read more

🥵 Any plans to write steamy or spicy content this year?

Answer: Absolutely NOT!!! 👎 🤮 I'm sex repulsed asexual I will never touch smut with a 12 FOOT POLL. So yeah, I can handle implied or referenced but not full-on smut never gonna happen.

👻 Is there a new genre you'd like to write?

Answer: Wouldn't mind dabbling, in horror and supernatural aspects some more but other than that I can't think of any genre I want to branch out in.

🦄 Is there a new POV you'd like to try writing?

Answer: Yes, I'm dabbling with multiple narrators for a story that will be posted eventually.

🐌 What is one of your smallest writing goals?

Answer: Getting more reviews on all fic's I love kudo's I really really do but comments make me so happy, and I enjoy getting constructive criticism when it's helpful and can help me improve my work.

🦖 Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you'd like to return to?

Answer: Aside from Kingdom Hearts, My Babysitters a Vampire, and maybe Goriilaz a part of me wouldn't mind returning to Danganronpa and working on the Killing Despair series again Probably won't happen this year.

🍄 Are there any fandoms you've never written for but want to try?

Answer: Total Drama I haven't thought of that series in forever, however I've got some fic ideas. Also, more Gorillaz fic's (I know I've wrote for this fandom, but it was only one fic I have to do more.)

And Paper Mario I have wanted to do a Super Paper Mario retelling for years now.

🌈 What research do you plan on doing for your writing?

Answer: Not sure to be honest maybe self-publishing and ways to monetize original works (Maybe web noveling)

✨What's one area of your writing that you think needs the least amount of improvement?

Answer: In character dialog I've gotten really good at that, these past few years.

🥕 What's one area of your writing that you think needs the most amount of improvement?

Answer: Scenery description and character description plus battle scenes I've never been good at those.

🫘 Spill the beans. What's a new project you're doing this year?

Answer: I'm working on a Master Detective Archives fanfic a Super Paper Mario retelling to celebrate TTYD remake and hope to finally finish my first ever fanfiction my Kingdom Hearts origin story The Adventure of a Lifetime.

🥳 How are you going to celebrate when you achieve one of your writing goals?

Answer: Freak out, thank everyone for getting me this far, and do a happy dance and tell everyone I know.

🎃 Do you plan on writing any seasonal fics?

Answer: Yes, I try to get a Halloween story or fic update out every October and while I don't have plans for Valentines this year maybe I can post a little something to celebrate it

🐾 Do you plan on writing for any fests or competitions?

Answer: No, too much pressure I've done two Tumblr character prompt weeks, and I couldn't finish either of them in time in fact those fic's are still in my WIP I hope to finish them this year.

✍️ Which stat matters most to you (if at all!): subscriptions, kudos/favorites, comments, bookmarks, word count, or hits?

Answer: I try not to focus on stats as I feel a low number will only demotivate me, I don't care if my stories don't get many comments, I reason with myself saying if a fic is too popular, I could get bombarded with comments asking me to update it again. I hate when other people struggle with this, and I know it'll be a bother to me I already feel guilty leaving people hanging when it takes months for me to update a fic I haven't posted in a while.

👾 Do you have any "bad" writing habits you want to break?

Answer: Yes, starting a fic I'm really excited about, working on it for a few days then dropping it only to come back to it months or even a year later. I want to finally finish some fic's that have been rotting in my wip's for ages now.

🤖 Are you looking to change your current writing setup? (Or establish one, if you don't have one?)

Answer: I think my current writing setup is okay I sit at my desk, open my word doc, and start writing.

🦷 Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're dreading to write (but is necessary to your plot)? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

Answer: I can't think of any off the top of my head, aside from fic's that are dead because of my writer's block but I am feeling a little sad about finishing the Adventure of a Lifetime story I've been working on it on and off for the past five years and ending it feels weird, good thing I've got more KH games to write about. I do wonder if I'll cry once the story ends though? Like I did when I finished KH1 for the first time when I was like five.

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

Answer: Yes, the obligatory ship chapter to a new story I'm working on, without spoiling too much main character stumbles upon two boys by the river as she narrowly escapes a supernatural encounter. She sees the two about to have an intimate moment (As in kissing) and tries to quickly leave stepping on a twig and gives away her location as they stare at her in shock now expecting to see a new face.

But that's all your getting from me ;)

🍕Will you be making any changes to your posting schedule (if you have one)? (Or do you want to establish a posting schedule?)

Answer: Already made a post on this but the TLDR is I'm writing a fic for a week and if a chapter get's done it will be posted next month hoping to post every Friday this year.

🛏 Is there a new trope you'd like to write this year?

Answer: Polyamory, (Is that a trope?) A few canon divulgence/fix it fic's I wouldn't mind doing and AU's/retellings ya know the usual

🪩 Do you have any "good" writing habits you want to cultivate?

Answer: Making sure I take breaks every now and then, (As of right now at least) writing isn't my job it's just a hobby so I shouldn't feel stressed out when I don't meet a certain quota it's okay to take a break.

🎉 How are you going to be kind to yourself if you don't meet your goals?

Answer: Simple, I just look at what I did do that year and try to do better next year knowing my goals will be achieved eventually

💌 Are you willing to take requests or prompts for writing?

Answer: No, my golden rule is, if I don't know the fandom, I won't write for it. Plus, my inconsistency for writing I'd just be keeping that person waiting and I really don't want to do that. The last time I said one would only take a few days week at most it took me a month and ended up becoming a two shot. So no, no requests for me but I might do prompt fic's again if I can keep up with them.

Welp that's it and was a lot of fun if anything sounds interesting to you guys keep an eye on my ao3 and fanfiction.net accounts and Tumblr since I'll be posting updates throughout the year.

Get (A Better Management Team) It Sexyy …. Get It Sexyy!!

As I'm sure we can tell throughout all of these posts. I take hating very seriously. Specifically hating what the majority likes.

This time I'm agreeing.

There are about 3 valid reasons to dislike Sexyy Red, but seldom can anyone get to ANY of them without first revealing their internalized racism or misogynoir.

Her effect on how the black community is perceived.

Where Everyone Gets It Wrong:

Sexyy Red is unapologetically ghetto. There's nothing wrong with this. In fact, I think it's a good thing. To celebrate black culture and not recognize its ghetto roots is a blatant case of sanitizing. The oppressors do that enough. There are very many things that happen in the hood that deserve to be critiqued, but that's just a universal part of any culture, and it continues to be an undeniable pillar of hip hop.

You can't chat to me about Sexyy Red's ghettoness when I know for a fact you can go bar for bar with King Von on "Took Her To The O"

My Certified Hater Opinion:

One of the most significant setbacks of any kind of activism, whether it be gender, race, or sexuality based, will always be the prioritization of proximity to whiteness rather than actual equality or equity.

And sure, the acceptance of Black Ghetto Culture for better and for worse means that non-black people will ultimately have to interact with it. I'm not arguing that.

That's a totally different thing than appearing on Twitch streams with notoriously racist people like Adin Ross.

Sexyy Red consciously places herself in spaces where the goal is not to celebrate her, her culture, or her art but to exploit and make fun of her. That's the problem. Not "how she makes black people look." If black people operated based on how white people wanted us to act, we'd still be slaves. Free Yourself. I beg.

And actually since we're on this subject, and the election quite literally did just happen. Yes. Sexyy Red endorsed Trump. Any endorsement of Trump needs to be hated. Lactching onto the picture people made of it to sell "Make America Sexy Again" hats (which makes the aconym MASA... need I say more?)

Her comments about the developing views of Donald Trump were not entirely wrong, and certainly not something unique to black people.

A big factor for many people in this election was, in fact, the economy, which is in the dumps. Stimulus Checks and PPP loans were a reprieve for many low-income homes and an overall net-positive decision from Congress.

The problem was that Donald Trump took credit for the entire thing, just like how he took credit for Obama's tax code in 2016 to run in 2024.

Mix this with the fact the midwestern and southern areas notoriously do not have the best education systems, including St Louis, where Sexyy Red is from, along with education levels bring directly associated with income rates, and that one of the ways capitalism and racism work to keep victims of oppression complacent is through chronic exhaustion ... it means that you're not gonna have people educated enough on the economy past the fact that things are more expensive and they're angrier about it. And when the government leader puts his name on a check that lets you feed your family for a couple weeks, well...

That's how you get the 2024 election result.

But black people's support of Trump was not the deciding factor in his presidency, nowhere near it actually, given what the exit polls are showing but that's an entirely separate conversation about the actual usefulness of Celebrity Endorsements, which is not what we're talking about right now.

Hate Sexyy Red for her endorsement of Trump, and eventually rescind of it in favor or Kamala Harris. Critique her for views on "Stimmys" and the economy. But … you cannot dismiss all of what she said as wrong. It is dangerous to ignore something just because you don’t want to believe it might be true.

2. Sexual behavior

Where Everyone Gets It Wrong:

I am actually not even wasting energy or significant word count on this one. I log onto TikTok every day where lyrics like "we gon fuck her in the back of the bus and fill her nose up fill of that dust" plays in the background of people dancing with the PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR.

But "My Coochie Pink, My Bootyhole Brown" is a danger to black women and girls? Get out of my face bro LMFAOOOOOOOOO.

My Certified Hater Opinion:

For me this one largely comes down to how Sexyy Red markets herself.

It has nothing to do with the way she dresses, or poses for pictures, or her lyrical content, which is largely meant to be funny and playful (although you will never catch me personally singing "I don't fight for my respect, bitch I fight for dick") but y'know, I also have the critical thinking to understand that

1. Feminism does not equal female solidarity

2. Despite the rise of feminism the world is increasingly male centered and If I'm prepared to critique Sexyy Red for her lyrics than I have to be prepared to critique Lana Del Rey's, which carries some of the same themes but encased in flowery metaphors and a misty indie instrumental.

3. In that same song, Glorilla's verse says the exact same thing subtextually, "Sneaky link, she say that's her n- I don't give a fuck/These bitches tryna scrap, but I'm knuckin' if you buckin', ho" but she has significantly more male supporters so y'know .... there's that.

The problem with Sexyy Red is that she is at risk of glorifying harmful sexual behavior, particularly around STIs and BV. We live in a society where self disparaging humor is increasingly common, for better or for worse, and in the certain cultural spaces, laughter as a coping mechanism for oppression is as easy as breathing, and the more normalized something is within your environment, the more likely you are to do it

This is why when launching a Lip Gloss brand, she saw nothing wrong with these names.

Sure, some of them are kinda normal funny gag jokes you'd find in a sex shop, I take issue with Gonorhera and Yellow Discharge in specific. Seuxal health, particularly for women and queer people remains to be an unnecessarily controversial topic, and the longer the negligence of it remains, the more discrimination surrounding them festers, and the slower it takes to actually mitigate these issues.

50 to 80% of the population experiences cold sores or fever blisters. If you told about half of those people that they have herpes, they'd think you gave them a death sentence.

If Sexyy Red, or her team had attached the announcement with a portion of the proceeds going to fund literally any kind of sexual health organization, or even something as simple as attaching a free condom or even a paper with sexual health resources, maybe i'd have a different outlook, because it'd be a case of talking the talk and walking the walk, but nope, it was just capitalistic desires. Sexyy Red cares about profiting off of shock value via parading it as humorous, while doing absolutely nothing to combat the stigma, and that's a problem regardless of identity.

Any person with a vagina can get BV, any person can get gonorrhea, all of them will experience equal stigma upon diagnosis. That’s the problem.

3. She Is A Bad Performer

Where people get it wrong:

They use this reason as a way to reinforce the above. But again, check your hypocrisy. If you're gonna fault her for not doing anything on stage and having absolutely no sense of stage presence or crowd control but get excited over a Future or The Weeknd tour ... why should I take you seriously? If you’re not gonna hate productively just exit the club man like we tryna run a respectable establishment here.

My Certified Hater Opinion:

She just sucks. She does the same thing as her male rapping counterparts and that's why both she and they suck.

Now i'm willing to call myself on bias, and admit that I'm a Beyonce fan so my standards was already high to begin with.

But my standards being high are the same reason I wouldn't buy a ticket to a Future Hendrix tour so ... *shrugs*

The Winner Of The Adorkable Apple Goober King Poll Is…

[Note: If Ya Haven't Watched Cuphead Show, and the Full Season 1 of Hazbin Hotel as well as Steven Universe, watch them first before reading this that also says who won on the poll...cause I will be talking about some stuff that happens in the Cuphead Show and Hazbin Hotel. also will talk a bit about Cain and Abel as well, and Adam & Eve's Bad Parenting....if Other Earth Angels ain't gonna point that out that those two were kind of bad parents, even if they were a bit Gray-Parents....then it might as well be me. also some parts may also talk about some feelings and some emotional stuff, not just about me but also about some of the characters. also reading this post is Optional. but this post will be for Mature Audiences Only. also will have some censored language even if it isn't all that many...but this will still talk about who won in The Adorkable Apple Goober King Poll.]

first I will say how many votes there were, about 34 votes as the final results.

Devil from The Cuphead Show got about 8.8%

Devil from The Cuphead Game got around 5.9%, and while the "9" is

a bit higher he still didn't get as many votes as his show counterpart…so yeah, tough luck there "Grandpa"…maybe next time.

so yeah, The Devil from the Cuphead Show has higher votes than Devil from The Game.

and finally Charlie's Dad Lucifer Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel, got around 85.3% and ya know what that means.

Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel wins The "Which One Is The Number 1 Adorkable Apple Goober King Of Them All…?" poll.

I am surprised by the fact that Lucifer, Charlie's Dad...

got such a higher count of votes, I mean I know that I had talked about if I was able to vote, and well I think I did try to press one of the choices that happen to be Lucifer, but I'm not sure if it works that way, for all I know ya can't vote on your own poll.

but I am surprised that he won, he truly is The Number 1 Adorkable Apple Goober King...

him teasing Adam about how he seem to make Lilith and Eve a bit happier, though him admitting that he had intimate relations with Eve, does not help clear his innocence that has to do with Cain.

I mean still gonna have to Jerry Springer that in our universe.

Lucifer, you clueless adorkable apple goober, you are only giving fans more reason to suspect that you are the Bio-Dad of Cain from your universe.

also I still believe the Cain from our universe, isn't the only one at fault for what happen. because both brothers: Cain & Abel were at fault.

Abel was probably too vainglory to see that Cain was hurting and at any moment, any wrong word or even misinterpreted suggestion would send him over the edge.

Adam and Eve should of done better, if they had stop to think that Cain need some kind of kind words and emotional support, he wouldn't of sank deeper into a very dangerous emotional, spiritual and possibly physiological depression.

plus Cain was NOT the first to take a life, just because a animal that can't speak the same way as humans do can't testify against Abel for what he used them for, doesn't mean they aren't still alive.

yeah animals still play a part of the life cycle, some end up being used as food to feed families and some used for clothes, and some who we form a special emotional bond with that can end up becoming so deep if anything bad were to happen to them...

one could freeze the 5th Heaven and 5th Ring Of Hell if the fluffy-baby was taken away too soon...

which once again, when my second cat was going through a certain situation...I'm glad that I was listen to about having them be taken to the vet right away instead of just waiting, because if I wasn't listen to about the suggestion of taking them to the vet right away, it would probably end up me being a crying mess like I was with my first cat.

I mean when my first cat died, well was slowly dying...

I think I was getting over being sick, from throwing up and stuff....

this was before the whole Covid-19 thing...

I think if I remember right, it might of been around 2018 when my first cat died, but I will have to ask about it.

I know I had two depressions before those events, which thanks to finding some song I wrote that expressed how I felt when that second depression first started, I think it was around 2016.

which is still a bit too close from that first one that happen around 2015 that was caused by some stuff happening at home.

not being able to get proper privacy and personal space, had pretty much sucked...I mean I was trying to work on fan fics and I think some drawings too, but they just kept fragging barging into that room like they owned the place.

and yeah, even when I showed a displeased look on my face, my so called much older cousin has to be a freaking jerk and get on to me for making a certain look, while in that said room that he and others so rudely came in there without my permission and invade my personal space....and after he got on to me for the look I was making, I had to go to the bathroom to cry and let it all out.

I mean seriously, I wanted to be left alone for my personal space so I can work on my fan fics and maybe at times some drawings.

it didn't help that they kept coming in that room all the time, where they could just stay in the living room.

why the frag couldn't just stop doing that, and let me have some personal space, I hated it, I really REALLY hated the fact they couldn't just stop that and let me have that space to be alone when I needed it.

I mean when I feel ready to, I can talk to others and be a bit social.

but what they were doing was disrespectful to my space, and anyone who had their space not respected when they needed it, would probably understand.

and it didn't help some other stuff was going on as well, which ended up having us move to the house we currently live in now.

I lost a lot of weight during that first depression I had during 2015, I wouldn't eat much of anything, and well I think I still tried to do the same stuff I did before, but I still felt not good.

I think I can relate to Charlie's Dad a bit, since he clearly had a depression, and for all we know, he might still feel it sometimes.

like having days when he feels really down...

and I suspect he may have had a second depression as well.

his first depression happening after those in Heaven had banished him to the place that would be known as Hell...

the second depression may have happen when Lilith left him.

I think Charlie may have misinterpret her Dad, and Lilith may have lied to her as well....at least our Lilith has a excuse as to why she became the way she is....because of Adam and Three Angels who were so Toxic-Masculine and insensitive, they couldn't give her some freaking space to heal both emotionally and spiritually.

but what do you except from a bunch of Toxic-Masculine, Insensitive Angel-Boy Jerks....and even if one of them turned out to be a Girl, she would still be full of Toxic-Masculine as well and would still be a insensitive jerk.

we should still be lucky the Toxic-Feminine isn't as high as it's Masculine Counterpart....but it doesn't mean that both are still a problem, it's just the Toxic-Masculine one is a higher problem because without the proper fixing of it, it had become dangerous.

and yeah, I guess I may have a beef with those Three Angels who were so grossly insensitive and couldn't get it through their Toxic-Masculine selves, that trying to threaten Lilith like that, was only going to cause more damage and harm more than good.

I can't be the only one who has realized this, I mean I know I'm a Defective Earth Angel, well "Defective Earth Angel Princess" but there has to be Other Earth Angels, some who might be guys and not just gals....who have open their eyes to the truth about how messed up that is.

but those who haven't viewed messed up that is, and might still think that Adam and those Three Angels were doing a "good thing" by hurting Lilith pass a breaking point.

I can't really force them to change their minds, they will need to see the truth of their own accord.

and yeah, besides King David being a terrible Dad to Tamar, even if it does turn out he had his moments when he was a good parent.

which him being both a bad and good parent, would put him in the Gray-Parenting, and there can be different levels of it...

but he isn't the only one who ended up making poor choices.

Noah did as well, who basically scapegoated his own Grandson for something his own son did.

I get some might not fully understand how mess up that is, and yeah I get that both Noah and King David are my and some others own Ancestor-Grandpa...

but it doesn't mean they are fully perfect, and even if some parents and grandparents who aren't perfect but it's okay if they aren't...

but there can be a line that can be crossed, and Grandpa Noah and Grandpa King David have crossed those lines.

placing a curse on your own grandson, which takes the blame that the son who is the father of the grandson, and placing it fully on the grandson.

or the fact that just because ya have a favorite son, and you don't want to punish him....don't mean you just leave it alone.

I mean seriously, at least Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel ended up going to where the fight was happening at the hotel and saved his daughter.

even if the situations are different, plus if Lucifer did turn out to be Cain from that universe's own Bio-Dad.

the whole Lucifer Vs Adam would kind of be like a Peepaw Fight.

if some who are also a descendant of Cain as well, you would get the humor in that, as well as the whole whoever is Cain's Bio-Dad is....

we would still have to Jerry Springer that whole Who Cain's Bio-Father Is.

anyway, I think Charlie may misunderstanding her Dad, about how he only calls when he wants her do something and the whole not really wanting to be a part of her life very much.

I mean it's good that their bond had got better and Charlie was able to learn a bit more from her Dad during that song they sang together.

but Charlie would have to learn, that when ya been hurt, like badly emotionally hurt. sometimes you need to be alone, even if you end up doing stuff that you enjoy that still brings you a bit of happiness.

it doesn't mean the hurt isn't still there.

and if my theory is right, that Lucifer did end up having a second depression that may have to do with his divorce with Lilith.

would possibly end up hurting way more than what Sera and the Other Angels did to him.

plus ya can't expect those who have been hurt to just pick themself up right away or be as happy as they once were.

even if they can try to act that way to hide the bad feelings, that may turn up every once in a while.

I'm pretty sure I'm a type of Introvert, there could be different forms of being a Introvert. like how your okay with going outside and having fun at times but at some point, some stuff causes you not want to go out very much...maybe some would understand that.

plus those who are not introverts can't just make a introvert go out against their will, even if it is to a party, if someone who introvert wants to do it, it should be their choice, and not because someone either it be a friend or family or for some a co-worker made them.

and I think it could be possible maybe, Charlie's Dad is a bit of a Introvert, but I'm not 100% sure.

if he is, he likely became that way over time...

even those who weren't introverts before, may become that way at some point for different reasons I think.

we wont know how badly Lucifer ended up hurting because of what Sera and the Others in Heaven in the Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss Universe did to him, as well as Lilith did as well.

Lilith from Hazbin Hotel, likely sees herself better than any man, but that could be true in some cases when ya can be better than some toxic-man and toxic-woman.

but Lilith from that universe, could be a two-faced b*tch.

the book that Charlie reads in Episode 1, may have half-truths and half-lies in it.

the parts with Lucifer, her Dad. is one of the truths.

I think it could be possible that both Lilith and Eve are my Ancestresses, and for all we know there is more to the story that happen during those times.

and I'm still going to view that the reason why Peepaw Adam from our Universe was so full of himself, and being partly the caused of Lilith from our Universe not being able to heal properly and not getting the space she needed.

may have to do with the annunaki gene.

it is possible there was a True First Adam and Eve, it just wasn't the ones we thought.

the True Adam & Eve, could be known as The True Patriarch and Matriarch of Humanity.

which would mean they would be The Ancestors of Adam, Lilith and Eve.

The Homo-Erectus came BEFORE Homo-Sapiens, so Adam, Lilith and Eve were Homo-Sapiens that would be possibly the first of the generations of the hybrids that had to do with The Annunaki & Homo-Erectus Genes being mixed together.

I can still believe Heavenly Father/God and Earthly Mother/Goddess had played a part in us being here, it is just I also believe that it could be possible that there were other humans besides Adam, Eve and Lilith.

and as weird as it might be, I believe the books that is like "Stones Of The Goddess: Crystals for the Divine Feminine" by Nicholas Pearson.

and the books by Timothy Wyllie and one of the books is called "Confessions Of A Rebel Angel: The Wisdom Of The Watchers And The Destiny Of Planet Earth" may play a part of a very big puzzle.

that it could be possible that those books by Nicholas Pearson and Timothy Wyllie hold truth in them and play a part to a even larger puzzle.

but it is a puzzle that not everyone will willing accept, and even if they did end up willing to believe and accept it, they will have to do so by their choice and free will.

(if ya want to skips some of these parts, keep a eye out for the bold words...ya know just in case some might want to skip some...)

and yeah it can suck when some Toxic-Religious people cross a line with their whole self-righteous bull slag.

even though I did get better from that whole incident that happen before with that Toxic-Religious jerk, who not only had a problem with me believing in a Goddess now, but may have also had a problem with me being Nonbinary, which once again during my still figuring out about it, I thought I was Gyno-Agender.

but I think I was still figuring it out and it could be possibly my going through a type of Chrysalis stage plays a part of that discovery.

so I'm a Earth Angel Princess who is a Nonbinary-Gal who's pronouns are She/Her & They/Them, or in other words She/They.

but anyway, even if I did get better from what Toxic-Religious Jerk did, when they couldn't stop throwing those misused words at me, thinking they were "saving me", what they did was not okay and caused some form of Toxic-Religious Trauma.

and I know I wont ever truly be fully okay with what happen.

and no matter how much I cried and showed signs I was really upset with them crossing a line like that, I think that no matter what I said or tried to get them to listen, they would still misuse the whole "may the lord have mercy on you." or "may god have mercy on you."

I know it was one of the two, I just can't fully remember which.

it wasn't okay for them to do that, and even if I am bringing up the words they were saying, I'm trying to do so to point out them repeating it in such a way just because I believe in The Earthly Mother now, and my Nonbinary....

doesn't give that person the right to misused those words and make me or others feel really bad to the point of crying and feeling really terrible.

and if some think "oh, it is making you feel terrible because ya know it's working and they were helping." that if full of bull slag.

I'm sorry, but it's the truth. it is NOT okay for anyone to do that.

I can only hope that I don't run into that Toxic-Religious Jerk again.

because no matter if some people are Religious or Not, at least some of them would never cross that line like that person did.

and even if ya might get better in time after that kind of incident, it doesn't mean the scars aren't still there and can open up at times.

sure it might not make you cry like it did before, and you might not cry at all when thinking about it. but it doesn't mean your still not okay with what happen and you might feel bitter about how it went.

it was that incident, might be a reason why I am even more not a big fan of Toxic-Religious people when they cross a line.

plus I can still believe that there can still be good Religious people, and even good people who aren't religious at all.

plus how a person is good or bad, well bad in a very super bad way...

at times how they are will have nothing to do with them being religious, plus just because some are Toxic-Religious doesn't mean the Religion itself will be at fault, but it is possible who runs different sectors of it from different branches could bring shame by corrupting one of the branches.

like if a church was run by someone who was corrupted, and brainwashed people who go to it.

plus with how some Toxic-Satanist are, they probably think no one who ends up being reborn at some point, will have a major beef with them. but they would be so wrong, cause there will be beef and bitter resentment to them when memories even if it's just bits and pieces end up being recalled by the ones they have done harm upon.

I want to try to believe that not all Satanist would cross a line, and would never taint the soul of a innocent like what those Toxic-Cultist did to Alessa from The First Silent Hill Movie that is based off of The Silent Hill Video Game Series.

and it could be rare for Toxic-Satanist to do harm on those they don't know is a Earth Angel....and for all we know, Alessa was a type of Earth Angel, though the Toxic-Cult that hurt her weren't Toxic-Satanists.

Toxic-Satanists are but just one of those who are part of The Toxic-Religious people who cross lines they shouldn't and end up causing trauma.

and yeah, it wouldn't just be Toxic-Satanist that would taint the soul of a innocent....other people who are Toxic-Religious will end up doing that too, and they would do harm to the one they had caused damage to, and I guess how bad it is, it could very well carry on to the hurt soul's next life.

there can be different levels of it, that aren't as bad or not as dangerous as the higher levels of Toxic-Religious.

but it doesn't mean the less hazard types, aren't still hurtful and bad.

and both the Toxic-Masculine and Toxic-Feminine can make some do bad choices, like how in some point in that Moxie Movie the girl who was fighting for girls, ended up falling into the Toxic-Feminine ways.

but she only was brought out of it, thanks to a girl who really needed her help and she was able to be brought back to the good side of the Feminine energy.

even if some Feminist don't get it, I don't think I can make them understand or listen to reason.

for all we know, Lilith who is Charlie's Mom from Hazbin Hotel...

could represent The Toxic-Feminine side, while Adam from the same show, represents The Toxic-Masculine side.

as weird as it might be, I think if Adam did come back as a Sinner and wasn't just gone, I can't help but think he might end up becoming a little redeemed, like he could be full of himself and think he is The Gift to Womankind.

but it could be possible in that mix, his heart could change a bit.

he will still be a insensitive full of himself jerk, but at the same time maybe one with a heart this time.

I mean fan theories are only at rare times right, and boy do some fans end up getting really REALLY happy when their fan theories end up being canon.

Deltarune Chapter 2's future events were technically predicted by accident by fans.

one of them being about Kris eating the whole pie, like using the knife they took out in Chapter 1 and when Chapter 2 fully came out, it turned out they used it for the pie.

but I still think they may have sneaked out first, went to the library, broke into the computer room in the said library and open a Dark Fountain first, before they went home and ate all the pie.

the other fan predication that were possibly by accident, but was used in a Deltarune AU Comic.

would also have to do with the Darkners becoming Items when they enter The Light World, that turns out to be canon.

if you read "Paper Trail" by LynxGriffin.

anyway, it could be possible that the Ralsei we see in Chapter 2, isn't the same one that Kris and Susie befriends in Chapter 1.

for one thing, the Ralsei in Chapter 1 is a bit shorter and has smaller feet.

and for all we know, when Susie and Kris were busy dealing with Lancer's Dad, the Other-Ralsei switched places with The True-Ralsei.

and once Kris and Susie were back home, The Other-Ralsei had locked the door that leads to the Other Dark World that is Lancer's Home.

I think Lancer might be a Quadruplet, and the Pictures of Him in his room, that we see at first in the Card Kingdom's Dark World.

is really him and his brothers, and even if Susie hadn't notice, it is possible the Lancers switched with each other when bonding with Susie. and the first Lancer she formed a deep bond with, is possibly still trapped in the Card Kingdom with the Ralsei who still wears his original outfit unlike the one who appears in Chapter 2.

it is possible that even if the Dark Worlds that are closed, are just not open and can't get to anymore, it doesn't mean they aren't still active.

and if Kris wanted to, they could very well open them back up.

but they would have to find the key that unlocks both the dark and light world's doors to the unused classroom, because that door in the unused classroom, was possibly locked by The Other-Ralsei to keep Kris and Susie from finding out that they are not the one they had befriended in Chapter 1.

I could call the Other-Ralsei by "Alisre" half of the name is pronounced like "Alice" and the other half is like "ray" I think.

well the name Alice isn't just a Girls name, plus we could view the name Alisre as being gender neutral/unisex name much like the name Alice.

anyway I wish I had came on sooner to talk about who won on that weird poll I did, but I guess it's okay if I took my time.

I will have to in some point, check my Messages but I just don't feel ready yet but I might do so at some point.

I'm sure there are others who would check some messages when they are ready, even after their internet connection going back to normal after acting up form some days, that may have happen some month or so ago.

I think it happen before February...?

but anyway, I'm still surprised I think by Lucifer becoming The Poll Winner, but also kind of glad as well.

like picture if Devil from one of the Cuphead AUs found out he lost in the poll.

Cuphead and Mugman would be fighting, well arguing about which one of them should tell Devil about it. XD

like picture Casino Cups versions of the brothers hearing about the poll and learning their boss lost, like technically both versions of him.

well I guess it could be seen as The Eveningstar Princess being both Weird with her first poll, but also trolling Cuphead and Mugman's Boss from the different Fanon Timelines of The Cuphead Universe.

I have no regrets making that poll, I'm glad I let my weirdness out when making that. XD

once again my giving myself the whole nickname "Eveningstar Princess" besides being a Earth Angel, who is technically a descendant of some Royals, and besides being a descendant of Seth & Cain...

it mainly has to do the weird stuff that happen when my Mom was going to have me, because of the whole fact she NEVER got Morning Sickness with me, she only got Evening Sickness when she was going to have me.

and that is one of my Weird Earth Angel Eveningstar Princess Origins.

and if it is true that some percent of us do have Nephilim Genetics, it would explain why when I was a newborn, I came out looking as big as 2 week old....yeah I was told that I looked like a 2 week old and I was a pretty big newborn.

plus it is possible that Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, didn't make 100% same mistakes as the one from our universe.

to which the one from our universe, I still want to give the cold hands to face punishment to, for playing a part of the whole balance between The Masculine and Feminine Energies not being fixed properly, and the Toxic-Masculine left unchecked during those times, and yeah Toxic-Feminine is still bad, but it isn't as high or as dangerous as it's Masculine counterpart.

I think that even if I can still believe in Jesus, but if he makes some bad choices in some form of twisted form of justice, then I will not view it as being okay, and it just ends up proving to me it is some humans that make up humanity and some parts of omnimanity, that can do some pretty messed up stuff...

plus if some info is right, and the whole Samael being involved.

if ya puppeteer humans into doing some messed up things, like messing with something that can cause a global pandemic, that is only going to place the humans involved in messing with it so recklessly only half to blame.

and I am NOT putting up with humanity being scapegoat for that.

which as strange as it might be, I had decided to try to pray for Jesus, so whatever dark and toxic-masculine influence that might have him, will be fixed and healed...

I guess some stuff I read before that has to do with some messed up stuff Jesus might do, had made me suspect him, because of too much of a coincidences.

and if I am right, that if he does some choices that does more harm than good, despite still having a good heart, then the reason why he would make those type of harmful choices if he is truly involved.

it might have to do with the Toxic-Masculine energy.

what I can try to do, is try to pray for him, even if some might think it is pointless and super weird, and wonder why I would want to try to pray for him that has to do with that stuff.

but I have my reasons, I mean yeah if he is a descendant of King David as well, even if I'm from the side of King Solomon and not being able to take that throne is a blessing in disguise for me.

but yeah, he would still be family, even if distant, and there is one family I don't much consider family much anymore after they did something really REALLY bad....of course I'm talking about my older cousin who besides hurting my feelings to the point where I had to hide in the bathroom to cry, he has done some stuff that is far worse than that to someone else...

I'm still gonna hope I'm not Jesus's descendant, and we are only distant cousins...but anyway, not everyone has to agree about my feelings about the whole possibility the reason why he could be involved and make some pretty bad choices, could be because he is under the influence of some Toxic-Masculine energy and he needs to be healed from it.

I'm not going to make others believe it, just share my belief and thoughts about it.

anyway if when I'm able to, I could make another poll that involves Adorkable Apple Goober Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel.

and I guess if we think about it, Devil from The Cuphead Show did perhaps get second place. XD

Devil from Cuphead Game, came in last.

and the Winner of the poll who became The Number 1 Adorkable Apple Goober King, is Lucifer aka Princess Charlie's Dad. :)

oh yeah, before I forget...

some of the episodes of Cuphead Show, made me think that the Devil from that universe could of been The Steven who was messing with time travel, while the new timeline version of Steven Quartz Universe would become Sans of Undertale.

Devil from the Cuphead Show, had his items put in bubbles and he ended up fusing with Santa....he be Half-Gem...O_O

I just remembered I wanted to talk about that weird fan headcanon, I mean I had posted this before editing that part in, but the reason why I had to hurry was because of food...which I'm still eating.

Devil from Cuphead Show, can't hide the truth...he is a Steven. XD

get him to sing along with the Cookie Cat song and there might be some proof, if he knows the full song and shows sign of Gem Powers, then he is possibly The Original Timeline Steven.

The Garrison was a different place in daylight, sun glinting off the gilded mirrors and antique light fixtures. John was attempting to keep busy, running through the inventory behind the bar. He tried to focus on the numbers, on how the counting kept his mind in check. A bottle slipped through his fingers and he caught it last minute.

“Fuck.” He muttered, running his hand through his hair, frustrated with himself.

John had been restless for days, his mind wandering and then a memory would appear suddenly. The flash of lights and screaming. The silence as he sat in the hospital in the middle of the night, holding his stillborn son. The look in Martha’s eyes. His heart breaking into a thousand pieces.

He hated the anniversary of the accident. The anxiety in the days before, counting the passing years, it always lurked in the dark. The first few years he’d drink himself into oblivion, but it only dulled the pain. He’d wake up a week later, still hungover, and the pain would be right back where it was.

It’s when he’d started his mantra, to feel the pain and let it wash back out. To process it in the moment, and then let it go. Tommy had his whiskey and work, Arthur would go off the deep end more often than not, Ada held Freddie together. John had a young Finn to look after. It took everything he had to keep the dark wave from taking over, from giving into the desire to drink every bottle of whiskey in The Garrison.

He took a deep breath and regained his focus, finishing up the inventory before going back to his office. No matter that it would be ten years tomorrow, the world still went on, and the business still had to run.

His cell buzzed against the wooden desk and he sighed.

“Hi, Aunt Poll.” John answered, trying to remain upbeat.

“Hi, John. How are you?” Polly responded.

“Oh you know, trying to stay busy and all that.” John replied, knowing exactly why she was calling.

“I know it’s a hard time, darling. Just calling to let you know I’m thinking of you, and if you need me you call me, yes?”

“I will. When do you and Aberama come back? Michael’s wedding is coming up soon now.”

“Couple weeks, we’ll be back for the Eden opening. I’m not sure about this Gina woman, but that’s Michael’s choice. Anna’s raging about it still.”

“Yeah, Anna called me recently to talk about it. Michael’s fully in on Gina, nothing gonna change that until he sees how crazy she is.”

Polly laughed and felt relief when she heard John laugh back.

“Speaking of American girls, heard from Thomas that you’ve been seeing one yourself?”

“Fucking Tommy, he’s more of a gossip than an old granny. Her name is Gemma. And Aunt Poll … it’s the most right anything has ever felt in my life. Maybe even more than Martha. She’s coming down with me for the Eden opening, you’ll get to meet her.”

“I look forward to meeting the girl that’s got my nephew smiling again. I can hear it in your voice.”

John smiled again and listened to Polly tell him about her recent travels, thankful for the distraction from the darkness in his mind.

Gemma smiled at her phone and then got up to throw together an overnight bag. Her and John had already been leaving some basics at each other’s places, which with any other guy would’ve seemed insane. But with John, it was right. And, as he’d pointed out a few nights back, practical. As he told her to leave whatever she wanted over at his house.

There was already a small stack of his clothes on her dresser, and she pulled out a t-shirt, holding it to her face. John’s cologne still lingered on the fabric, and it made her smile. She pulled off her own shirt and put his on, figuring it would brighten his day a bit. He’d been on edge about the anniversary, and she wanted to support him however she could.

John was standing outside her building entrance exactly at 6 pm, and she opened the front door to find him leaning against the brick. He still took her breath away, and honestly she wasn’t sure there would be a time in which he wouldn’t.

“Hi, love.” John said and pulled her into a tight hug.

He dropped his head into her shoulder, and felt some of the anxiety leave as she rubbed the back of his neck. It surprised him daily how open he felt with her, and how she knew what he was feeling without saying anything. It was what he’d needed for the past ten years.

“I got you, J.” Gemma whispered.

John nodded and held onto her for a moment more, before kissing her and taking her bag. They linked hands for the now very familiar walk to the Shelby house, making their way in comfortable silence.

Finn lasted about 5 minutes into dinner before getting grilled good-naturedly about his girl problems.

“So, tell us about this girl you like, Finny.” Gemma said casually, catching Finn off guard.

“You told her already?!” Finn exclaimed, looking at John who laughed.

“You said you wanted Gemma’s help, so I told her, yeah.”

“I’ll need some details, Finn.”

“Her name is Carolyn, we met at after a show a few weeks back. She’s really pretty and nice and works at a bookstore.” Finn said, his face flaming red.

“Have you two been talking at all?” Gemma asked, smiling to herself at how cute Finn looked with his red face.

“I got her number, yeah. She actually, um, texted me a little while ago, asking if I’d want to hang out tonight.”

“And?”

“I haven’t responded back yet, I wasn’t sure, you know, with tomorrow …” Finn trailed off, looking at John.

A heavy silence fell over the room and Gemma looked over at John, taking his hand under the table. He looked up at her, focusing on the look in her eyes, how much she cared about him.

“Live your life, Finn.You like this girl, you should hang out with her. Tomorrow morning, I do need you. Just be home by then.” John finally spoke, squeezing Gemma’s hand back.

Finn smiled and nodded, pulling out his phone to reply to Carolyn’s message. Gemma watched John pick up his fork and close his eyes, breathing slowly. A memory came over him, from years ago, his first date with Martha. How it felt to call her on the phone.

And then the memory of seeing Gemma for the first time in The Garrison, how it felt to kiss her for the first time. The feeling of her hand now on his leg, bringing him back to the present. He opened his eyes to find Gemma watching him, waiting for a beat before returning to her own dinner.

“Now, Finn, I normally give the advice to stay away from musicians, but I guess I have to make an exception for certain Shelby brothers. Just be honest with how you feel, no games. Girls hate games.” Gemma stated as Finn grinned and nodded at her.

John and Gemma cleaned up after dinner so Finn could get ready to go out. It didn’t take long to put all of the dishes and pans into the dishwasher, and John found himself fidgeting with random crumbs on the kitchen island counter. Gemma wiped down the counter, and then boosted herself up, pulling John in front of her. He stood between her legs, her hands on his face.

“Just breathe, John.” Gemma whispered.

John took several slow breaths, focusing on Gemma in front of him. She held his gaze, and he found himself calming down, pulling from the strength he saw in her eyes. The way her thumb gently ran over his cheekbone. How warm her skin felt beneath her jeans, his hands on her thighs.

“I know we talked about tomorrow, and what it means. Whatever you need from me, whether that’s to give you space, or go with you, you decide in the morning. I’m here, and I’m not going anywhere. You are with me and I am with you.” Gemma said.

John nodded and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in as close as possible. He needed to feel her breath on his neck, her solid presence in his arms, smell her perfume. Gemma kissed his cheek and held his head against her.

************************************************************************

Early the next morning, Gemma lay in bed and felt John shift behind her. He tightened his arm around her side and she could feel the anxiety coming off of him in waves. She felt him pull back and sit up on the side of the bed.

She waited a moment and then turned over, to find John sitting with his back to her, head in his hands. He’d barely slept, and like every year, he was up at dawn on this terrible day. Ready for the day to end but unable to sleep through it, there were things he needed to do.

Gemma wrapped her arms around him, her bare skin against his back as he reached up and took her hand.

“Can’t sleep?” She whispered, resting her face against his shoulder.

John shook his head, tears threatening to spill over. Gemma held him tighter.

“Do you want me to go with you today?” She whispered again.

John nodded and his head fell back down, letting the tears run down his face. Gemma’s heart broke for him, the amount of pain he’d always carry was not something anyone could take away. He would just live with it, forever, and find a way to go on.

“I’ve got you, baby. I’m here.” Gemma whispered a third time.

John’s shoulders shook as he turned around and let Gemma pull him into her, laying back against his pillow.

A few hours later, John, Finn, and Gemma walked slowly through Small Heath, John holding Gemma’s hand firmly. Besides the grief this day always brought him, he also had a heightened fear that something would happen again to someone he cared about. Gemma understood without a word, and let John lead her through the streets, Finn close to her on the other side.

They stopped at Averill’s Flower Shop, where John always bought flowers, several times a year, for his graveyard visits. Mary Averill had been an old friend of the late Margaret Shelby.

John wandered the store aimlessly, unsure of what to buy. The flowers had been taken care of at the funerals, and one of the arrangements had a card from this shop, offering assistance whenever he needed it. And Lord, did he need assistance. What did one buy for their child’s due date anniversary?

“John Shelby, is that you?”

John looked up to find a woman standing in front of him, her face vaguely familiar.

“Yes. Sorry, I don’t know your name, but you look familiar to me?”

“Mary Averill. I was a friend of your mum’s from school, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.”

“Oh right, the card you left. Thank you. I need some help.”

Mary gently guided John through his choices, acknowledging his loss sincerely, but not lingering on it. She knew how heavy this particular loss was, and she was tactful in these type of transactions. It was what John needed, someone to guide him, to make his choices easier.

“Good to see you, John.” Mary greeted John as he entered the shop, Finn and Gemma lingering outside.

“You, too, Mary.” John replied.

Mary went around the counter and pulled out his usual order. Three graves to visit, three arrangements.

“10 years it’s been already.” Mary commented softly as she gave John his change.

“Hard to believe. I’ll see you soon, Mary. Thank you.” John said, with sincere gratitude.

Mary smiled and watched as he walked out to his brother and the girl with them. The girl reached for one of the flower arrangements and John took her other hand, leaning into her instinctually. The youngest Shelby brother took another arrangement, and the three of them continued down the road.

In the now ten years that John had been a customer, Mary had never seen him with a woman besides his sister and his aunt. His grief had been overwhelming the first several years, often accompanied by a heavy smell of cigar smoke and whiskey, and slowly over time just the heavy cloak that every parent of a lost child wore.

Margaret, your boy is in love again, finally.

John’s routine was always the same, visiting Greta’s grave first. Gemma handed over the flower arrangement she was carrying and John gently placed it among the others in front of her grave.

“We’re always thinking of you, Greta. I know Tommy is, too. We all miss you.” John said quietly.

The trio lowered their heads in a moment of silence and then moved on to the Shelby family plot. John tightened his grip on Gemma’s hand as the gravestones came into sight. She squeezed back and leaned against him.

Finn placed the arrangement he had in front of Margaret Shelby’s grave. He visited often, sometimes with John, but also on his own.

“Hi, mum. John’s here, too.” Finn spoke aloud, stepping back in line with John.

Finn and Gemma stood back as John turned to the gravestone next to Margaret’s, placing a hand on the white stone. He looked down and his eyes watered, as he spun the signet ring on his finger, trying to keep his breath steady.

“Hey, mate. It’s your Dad. I love you. I’m sorry I couldn’t have done more for you.” John said, his voice shaking, as he dropped down to one knee.

Gemma had already been crying behind him, and she stepped forward to put a hand on his right shoulder. Finn did the same, putting his hand on John’s left shoulder, and they stood there as John sobbed in front of Will Shelby’s grave.

In the distance, Arthur stood leaning against a large tree, drinking from a half empty bottle. He watched his brother break down, and the survivor’s guilt that was always under the surface was fully bubbling up, a dangerous black hole.

“I’m sorry, John boy.” Arthur spoke aloud.

He would’ve given anything to change the circumstances. His own life for his brother’s son.

************************************************************************

It took nearly an hour for Gemma and Finn to walk John home, he leaned against both of them heavily, the exhaustion taking over. They got him to the couch and Gemma went to get a washcloth to wipe his tear stained face.

John watched her with bloodshot eyes as she ran the cool cloth over his skin, and it was so gentle that if he’d been able to cry anymore, he would’ve. She sat down next to him and pulled his head into her lap. Running her hands through his hair, she leaned her head back, fighting back her own urge to cry. The entire morning had been the most heartbreaking thing she’d ever seen.

John closed his eyes, focusing on Gemma’s fingers running against his scalp, her legs beneath his head. He reached up and took one of her hands in his, holding it tightly against his face as he finally slipped into a deep sleep.

Gemma and John woke a few hours later to Finn talking quietly on the phone and pacing in the hallway.

“Yeah, Tommy, I’ll deal with it … I’ll tell him. Call you later.”

“Finn? What’s going on?” John mumbled.

“Shit sorry, was trying to not wake you up. That was Tommy. He, ah, he said he’s thinking of you, and …”

“And what?” John sat up, hearing the veiled worry in Finn’s voice.

“He got a call. Arthur’s at World’s End. Pissed out of his head.” Finn replied quietly.

“Fuck.” John groaned and rubbed his face.

“Arthur, he’s had some drinking problems, especially the past 5 years or so. Today … the guilt he feels, usually kicks it off.” John explained to Gemma.

She nodded and John stood up, checking the time on his phone. It was barely 2 pm, which meant Arthur had started drinking long before the sun was up.

“Well, at least we know where he is this time. Finn, give me 5? We’ll go get him.” John stated.

“I’m coming with you.” Gemma said, standing.

************************************************************************

“Gem, this place is rough. You stay right next to me, yeah? Finn, you stay behind her.” John said sternly as they walked up to the rundown brick building.

Gemma and Finn nodded, both looking up at the ancient sign above the door. “The World’s End. Enter At Your Own Risk.” They looked at each other in concern.

John waited a beat and then opened the door confidently, Gemma’s hand tightly in his, Finn brining up the rear. The sun seemed not reach the inside of The World’s End, it was only dimly lit by a few overhead fixtures. Heads turned in their direction, leering eyes looking at the first girl to enter the place in probably years. Gemma shivered and stuck close to John as he walked past the bar, towards the back.

John breathed a sigh of relief as he caught sight of Arthur slumped in a back booth, empty glasses and coins in front of him on the table. Finn picked up the coins and John shook Arthur until his eyes opened.

“John boy, what’re you doing here?” Arthur slurred, as John pulled him up into a sitting position.

“Here to get you, brother. Come on, this place is one step away from the entrance to hell, what’re you even doing here?” John muttered.

“Drink away, today. Can’t stand this day.” Arthur responded back, barely coherent.

John managed to get his arms underneath Arthur’s and heaved him up onto his feet. Finn turned around, waiting for a terrifying drunk old geezer to pop out any second. John slung Arthur’s arm around his shoulder and then slowly started to make his way to the front, practically dragging Arthur along. Gemma stood between them and Finn, fighting the urge to run.

“Thanks for all the help, you fuckers.” John yelled as they entered back into the sunlit alley.

Finn ran to open the car door for Gemma, making sure she was in before opening the back door. Between him and John, they pushed and pulled Arthur into the backseat, propped up against Finn. John got back in the driver’s seat and looked at Gemma. She started laughing, which made him laugh, then Finn, and Arthur looking at all of them like they were crazy.

“ ‘Thanks for all the help, you fuckers’ oh my God, John, that place was like hell on Earth, and you’re throwing sarcasm back.” Gemma managed to say before laughing again.

Arthur had passed out by the time they got back to the Shelby house, and once out of the car, John hoisted Arthur over his shoulder. They settled Arthur into the sunroom, slouched over in a chair, snoring.

John sat in front of him, feeling immense sadness for his brother. The accident had been just that. A freak accident, in which Arthur had been in no way responsible. But John knew the survivor’s guilt ate away at Arthur. Unable to do anything about Greta dying and Tommy’s grief. About Will dying and how a part of John died with him. About Martha and John never marrying. About the Peaky Blinders never playing a single note together again.

Finn and Gemma stood in the hallway, watching the two brothers across from each other, each in their own misery.

“You hungry?” Gemma asked Finn, who nodded.

“Let’s go pick up some food. John hasn’t eaten anything since last night and I’m hungry, too.”

Gemma stepped into the sunroom and whispered to John that they were going out. He nodded and kissed her cheek, before leaning back in the chair, closing his eyes.

Finn and Gemma walked to the closest takeaway shop available, a pizza place, and both took in the silence with relief. As they waited for the order, Gemma remembered their conversation the night before.

“You haven’t said, how did it go with Carolyn?”

“It went really well.” Finn grinned and Gemma playfully smacked him.

“Details, little Shelby. But not too many, don’t make me ill.”

“We hung out in a park near her house for awhile, and we just talked about music, and books, and what we want to do in the future. She let me walk her home, and we ended up sitting in her back yard for hours. She may have kissed me before I left.”

“See! It worked out for you, that’s great. Just go with the flow, see what happens, you know?”

Finn nodded and contemplated his next words before speaking them.

“You and John, it’s serious, isn’t it?” Finn finally said, so quietly Gemma almost didn’t hear him.

“Honestly? Most serious I’ve ever been about a guy. When it’s right, you just know.” Gemma replied.

“He loves you, I can tell.”

Gemma grinned at Finn, just as their order number was called.

Later that night, John lay on his bed, waiting for Gemma to get out of the shower. Finn had insisted on sitting up with Arthur, and after Gemma forced him to eat a few slices of pizza, John had nearly crawled up to his room, he was so tired.

He closed his eyes, and was almost asleep when he felt the bed dip next to him. He looked up to find Gemma pulling the towel out from under him and pulling the blankets up over him. She hadn’t noticed yet that he was awake, and he took the opportunity to watch as she sat on the corner of the bed, toweling off her hair, her bare back tempting John. If he hadn’t felt like he’d been through battle, he would’ve reached out to her.

Gemma shut off the lamp and crawled into bed, throwing her arm and leg over John, wanting to be as close as possible. The day had been exhausting for her as well. She’d cried quietly in the shower, the sight of John breaking down in front of Will’s grave would never leave her.

John wrapped his arm around Gemma silently acknowledging how grateful he was that she was there. As he felt her slip into sleep, her head on his chest, one word flashed in his mind before he fell asleep as well.

Love.
