#he's so weird and funky and he just like me fr

[nu-metal-confessions]

JD is so important to me when it comes to self acceptance in a way. He gives of mayor autism vibes which kinda comforts me to be okay with my weird little behaviors. He isnt afraid to talk about trauma, but he also doesnt play it down. He really is my comfort celeb, and I couldnt be happier about his influence in my life.

[frango-maconheiro]

wow, wow, interaction.

also, there's a stupid meaningless ramble i made out of this incredible petpeeve of mine with EW x reader stuff and it's just down the cut sggkjdfjkk (it's fr just me being extremely salty)

Anyway, hello!

Haha, my curious and lonely ass really thought it was a clever idea to read 'eddsworld x reader' content because it spawned in my timeline.... thinking that maaaybe they actually got good at it and made not too ooc stuff (this is heeeeaavily on matt content)

Now, i am profoundly remorseful of that choice because when i wrote this hours ago woth no wifi, i was arguing with the air.

Like, i won't lie on this. EW x reader.. They have evolved, a loooot since those 2017 fanfics (why were the x yn fics from eddsworld all copy-paste back then???) actually, it really surprised me because i definitely don't have the most cool memories of such fanfics,, Buuuuut, they still have that STUPID FAVORITISM. IT'S SO DAMN APPARENT. YOU THINK WE CAN'T SEE IT???

i get madder from down this line, especially since i was veery hungry when writing this. That's why you should always stay fed, keeps you slightly happier.

nhamnhamnhamm, writes aaall cool stuff for edd, tom 'n tord... maybe with an ooc here and there, but enough to ignore,, but matt? Matt gets so ooc, he can be mistaken for an oc if no name is given.

like,,, did.. did we watch the same dude on screen? i know he was pretty neglected in content, but cmon, what is that?? He's practically a romance repellent with his stupidity (said affectionately)

it's the same 'pipipipopopo just a sweet mama's boy' and 'ooo, he's sooo romantic, look at how much of gentleman he is compared to otheeeers' and 'whaao he so silly ::3 *treats him as if he weren't an adult character' and so much more, all in this weird stereotype

I guess i'm just disappointed,,, all because he just, idk, still feels downright boring compared to how the other 3 are written in these kind of fanfics even thought it's 2024 already and not still 2017-2020 (don't even get me started on the weird fixation on making yn extremely specific which fr also makes me crawl away like a wet cat from EW reader interactive content, they don't even put tags of the gender, aaaaaargh).

y'all definitely have more content of him to write than just the saturation of him painting your nails, or going shopping, or acting like he's the center of the world 24/7, or making him the pure lil' angel, or having his memory issues being downplayed as him acting 'so silly lil' silly', i assure you.

When i tell you i got so invested in this useless anger i mean that i got compelled into writing down a bunch of matt x reader to try and give that man a cooler image,,, and i don't even see him that way (nor any of the characters.) , but GOD ARGHHHV I NEED JUSTICE FOR HIM.

i might be just a lil' hot headed while writing this whole stuff, but this bro got stripped out of BOTH his classic and his modern funky personality in 99% of these fanfics and nobody bats an eye, like, ever, unless they're another fan of the character. Free my ginger rat, pleeeeaaaaseee.

I need any weirdo, edgy, funky, unusual, vampire, zombie(heavily on you zombie matt my beloved), slasher, funny, whack matt written content that is not only interactive BUT friendly to all readers...

i don't even care what Matt is written, modern, or classic. Both types have their own weirdo charm, and i am willing to analyze them for a nice oneshot or spitball post.... where you don't get to a restaurant/picnic and receives flowers and it ends like that, without any more depth of such cute cliche fluff it is, and leaving you like you just licked off the scraps of a dessert from a plate given to you, so damn hungry 'n wishing you had eaten an actual dessert instead of whatever that was.

[dootznbootz]

Howdy, I saw there was some Paris analysis and discussion and wanted to throw my two cents into the ring! (I love this kind of character analysis,,,, it’s my bread and butter fr)

So Paris, where we start off with him typically is him being chosen to judge the contest between Aphrodite, Hera, and Athena over who is the fairest, right? The reason Zeus picked Paris is because he is renowned as a fair judge of contest, he is fair, and he is reasonable in his judgement, so when he says that all the goddesses are equal, the goddesses have to resort to bribery. Aphrodite offers the hand of the most beautiful woman in the world, and Paris is at the end of the day still human and lets his desire for the most beautiful wife in the world win. Helen is his reward for being a fair judge.

This is why I don’t typically enjoy the star crossed lovers interpretation between Helen and Paris, because Helen was a *reward* to Paris for being a “fair judge” in the contest. I think this interpretation is why I view the scene where Paris doesn’t comfort Helen when she cries the way that I do, it’s because he doesn’t *care* about Helen as a person, she is his prize, it doesn’t matter whether or not she loves him, or if she was married, or even who she is as a person, the only thing that matters to Paris is that she’s the most beautiful woman in the world, and she’s *his*. In a way, one could view it as PARIS seeing it as “well it’s only FAIR that I get what I was promised. To hell with your feelings about me stealing a married woman.”

BUT what puts Paris ahead of the average whiny brat, is at the end of the day, Paris is still a fair judge. He KNOWS his shortcomings because he has judged himself. This is why when Hector admonishes him for bitching out of a fight, Paris agrees. He is a fair judge, and Helen is his rightful reward for being that.

ooh that's a neat way to think about it! :D like he sees things from a very "logical" standpoint but then is also very selfish and emotional based too.

It's still somewhat wild though that from this "judge interpretation", that means that he somewhat sees Troy fighting and constantly losing people as like, "consequence".

"Helen is my prize and therefore all of Troy will defend that prize, even if it means that countless people are lost."

Which yeah, many love stories are kind of like that? the whole "I'll destroy anyone and everyone in order to protect who I 'love'" but like...What he's doing isn't "love". As love is when you take their happiness and joys into consideration. He's not doing that.

And it means he knows that he's hated and that people will die for him and that's literally

Lil Lord Farquad. But he sees that as rightful and fair in a way.

like with Helen it's already messed up. But in some way, that's just making one life Miserable. (Menelaus' and Hermione's as well but you know) BUT since of course with the Oath and Menelaus wanting his wife back, it's making MANY people miserable.

Like it's a whole new level of entitlement to have? idk he's a funky dude. Like, it's almost like I don't WANT to believe he's THAT pathetic in a way? As for immortals to do this? yeah...Their "rules" are different. And Paris grew up a shepherd, so maybe all this sudden "I get what I want" got to his head but he doesn't also seem to have a god complex? idk weird lil man

[m1ckeyb3rry]

LMAOO im also chronically online this is a safe space for the chronically online dw (i also respond at chronically online speeds sooo) but FR THE UNHOLY TRINITY LMAOO if we add Raichi it’s the four horsemen of the apocalypse (bro has never played anything other than defense though and we like. NEVER see him touch the ball basically so uh sorry bro no sexy soccer time yet)

Honestly I don’t know why more people can’t just let people exist?? Like fr just leave them alone and live your life why make it so miserable for everyone sheesh…also please those twelve year olds on tiktok can’t even tie their shoe laces nor should they be on tiktok learning “potty mouth phrases” LMAO I think they need a reality check DESPERATELY

Never apologize for writing too much Karasu.

But LMAOO OK IM GLAD HAHA so real for that I can’t do what Reo or Barou do for him like I will not be the Anri to your Ego!!! Please put your socks in the laundry!!!! But this isn’t irl so he’ll still be a squishy bear to me

LMAO REALLL side character supremacy >>> Honestly I didn’t hate the animation either although I did notice some funky scenes it wasn’t nearly as bad as everyone made it seem…I’m glad to hear that they’re putting their eightbitussy into it though

He’s so captain it’s literally insane (quick we gotta talk more about this and manifest Karasu captain for u20 World Cup) Aiku honestly a good option too (I wanna see my man in action though) if it’s Isagi I’ll lowk riot

BESIDES AN EROTIC LEFT LEG GOODBYE that made me snort as I read this

I LOVE READING THE REFERENCES LMAOOO if they fit into the story keep them coming!!! (KARASU DROWNING SHDGSHSH IM NOT READY)

Ok yeah I also kinda ballparked that amount in my mind LMAO I forgot to mention this more in my last response but the ON SALE THING >>>> I laughed it was so goofy too like she caught him red handed THE NEXT DAY like bro those were NOT on sale…$50 for advice boy you’re not slick

Chefs kiss mc written wonderfully WITHOUT the typical overly used cliches as much as I love a stupid mc sometimes it’s quite an overused trope I feel where it’s the teehee dummy reader so again, this was refreshing LOL (I always love how you give your y/ns substance as characters and like humans..?? Like they all feel like actual people and aren’t your just your average w*ttp*d UwU MCs…I mean writers have to start somewhere so maybe I should stop bashing them like this but uh)

Honestly it’s such an interesting language which is why it takes me a bit to translate/transcribe sometimes because I can’t capture the underlying meanings or emotions as well in English LMAOO (the first time I tried was the hiori light novel and finding the correct phrasing was definitely a learning curve LOL) but omg slay you’re outperforming people living in the motherland!! That’s honestly really impressive, do you get to speak it frequently?

Snuffy’s backstory is actually so sad I can’t :(( also the SONG CHOICE??? Bye. But this is why I can’t even say “no one dies in soccer anymore” man

NO FR you know it’s bad when I’m impressed by a healthy family in bllk shdshhs HAHA FAIR TRADE INDEED o7 I have chapter 2 ready it was longer than I expected but I sped up the process using dictation as I read it LMAOAO so again if you catch any typos or weird punctuation lmk LOL (when I tell you I almost died dictating this I LAUGHED and reacted like omfg and it caught me saying that and wrote it down but ANGWAYS I’m not sure anything is beating this chapter) I know I said summary earlier but I don’t think I’m capable of doing that LMAOA so this is basically just the entire chapter I just reformatted it in a kinda summary like format because I don’t wanna keep pausing to type so many quotation marks HAHAHA anyways enjoy! I’ll come back to discuss after you read it so I don’t spoil anything yet hehe

Signing off early so it doesn’t weirdly attach to the end of the LN section LOL

2-Honor Student:

In elementary school, Kenyu was an honor student. Although he was a little cowardly, he was first and foremost, a kind, hard-working kid. he always did his homework and happily greeted everyone. Got along well with his peers and never fought. He was someone that both his classmates and teachers could rely on. When it was time to choose class president, Tomoda nominated him, and everyone joined in agreeing to nominating Kenyu. But after half a year, something shocking had occurred.

Little by little Kenyu had become better friends with his seatmate Tomoda, frequently going to his house after school. Tomoda had a kind sister three years their senior. She would often give them candy and play games with them. One day, Kenyu had gone over to play with Tomoda, to be told by his older sister that he hadn’t gotten home yet and was possibly taking a detour. She told Kenyu to go ahead and wait upstairs for him, but he wondered if maybe he was meeting with other friends in the park. He wondered if he too should go to the park, but it’d be troublesome if he had assumed incorrectly. While he was lost in his thoughts, Tomoda’s sister suddenly came up to him and brushed away his bangs. His hair had always been soft, and his mom had always helped him style it, so the Tomoda’s sister had always complemented him, saying his hair made him look so handsome like a model. It wasn’t unusual for her to touch his hair, but that wasn’t all that happened that day. In addition, she kissed his forehead. His eyes widened as his brain was left short-circuiting. “Huh?”

“My beloved Kenyu, let’s play together” she had said with sparkling eyes. Kenyu could feel his heart racing. “…I’ve gotta go to the park..!” His face turned bright red and he ran out. He didn’t end up, going to the park, but instead of ran back home to his room, waiting for his racing heart to still.

“My beloved Kenyu” He had repeated her words in his mind. he didn’t really understand it all, but he was happy that she said she liked him. He was a bit embarrassed, though that she had kissed him. He thought himself, “I’m never telling anyone about this.”

The handsome class president and honor student. By the time he became a second year, he had grown taller, adding to his versatility in giving him athletic potential. as he continued growing, he came to be one of the tallest in his grade. He was fast at running, and he was always the last one left in dodgeball. Then, of course, came Sports Day. After comparing all the times in their PE Class, Kenyu’s high ranking had gotten him chosen for the relay race. Everyone was in agreement. He was tall, fast and the perfect fit for the job. He was to be the anchor for the relay race. Was it really all right for him to play such an important role? he felt a bit uneasy, but he would give his best once again for the people relying on him. Until the day of the sports festival, Kenyu would run every day. He’d wake up early to run and practice dashes on the field after school. Every Sunday, he’d have his father time him. Finally, it was time for the class relay. Under the clear sky, the fastest runners would compete while the cheer squads cheered them on. Kenyu’s class, 2-1, however, would compete in vain. After each grouping, members of his team would slip down the ranks. By the time Kenyu got the baton he was in last place. There is a huge gap between him and the top, all the people running in front of him are the fastest in their class after all. But Kenyu had to try his best. Everyone had chosen him as anchor after all. He steadily started accelerating, passing by another player in just a quick moment. With his large physique moving vigorously and his feet firmly stomping against the ground, he gradually closed the gap between the other runners. His classmates all cheered for him, and as they continued supporting him, he continued gaining speed. Even the announcer from the broadcasting club got caught up in the excitement. With the loud cheers under the blue sky, Kenyu passed the final goal, bursting past the four other racers and finishing first. It’s the first time he’d ever run so fiercely. His chest heaved as he caught his breath. Kenyu had finished first for the sixth graders. His classmates had showered him with praise, wearing a big smiles on their faces as they crowded around him. Kenyu thanked them for their support, feeling that their cheers had powered him on. Kenyu was honest and sincere. He didn’t know he could run that fast. It’s because everyone had believed in him that he was able to discover a new part of him. To Kenyu, it was an incredibly joyous moment. A few days after that, when he got home, a shiny soccer ball was waiting for him in the doorway. Kenyu was surprised and had wondered what it was for. His parents had thought it would be good for him to give soccer a try, seeing how he was so fast. It would make him more popular too. After seeing that their child had such amazing speed they suggested that he try out a sport and bought him a soccer ball. Of course his mother also wanted to see him popular. Immediately, Kenyu went outside and tried kicking the ball. As he ran with the ball, he found that he couldn’t stop. He’d kick it forward and chase after it continuing on. “This is fun!”, he thought to himself. In all honesty, being able to dribble without losing speed is a technique that’s difficult for beginners, but Kenyu, blessed with incredible athletic ability, was able to do it from the start. That’s how Kenyu “met” soccer, his parents had blessed him with the opportunity. As if it was fate, Kenyu found himself absorbed in soccer.

i wonder what sexy soccer even is 😭 like what does it entail yk…HAHA chronically only gang rise 🤩 tumblr truly is the site for people of our kind i love it

the craziest to me is when they freak out about non-teenagers watching shows and writing fics meanwhile they are openly thirsting for old ass characters?? why are you at fourteen writing paragraphs abt every position you want to fuck toji and nanami in 😭😭😭 look i’m not going to judge too harshly because wtvr i get it but also like some of them need to realize that those in glass houses should not be throwing stones

the karasu tabito tag is basically mine atp DJSKDK i think every karasu fan has probably seen at LEAST one or two of my posts (whether it’s a fic or just one of my karasu shitposts)

EXACTLYYYY YOU WILL NEVER CATCH ME BEING AN ANRI there’s only room for one high maintenance person per relationship and that role is fulfilled by me 👆🏻 that’s why my other favs are karasu barou and reo…you know those kings are NOT letting their partners suffer 😫 however in fiction nagi is my squishy cuddly fluffy dog bf so he is still number one in my heart 😩

if it’s isagi i’ll be mad because he doesn’t even feel like he has any interest in being captain 😓 i think aiku could work but agreed we def have to see more of him plus i don’t think he’d be made captain as he’s not an og blue locker yk?? OMG but if the trend continues we should be able to manifest karasu as captain…holding a prayer circle now 🕯️🕯️🕯️ (lowkey it would be funny if ego made like kurona or niko captain just because they’re the only ones that aren’t batshit insane and typically keep their speeches and vocab relatively normal 😭)

the way eita didn’t think she’d check if they were actually on sale too is so funny like she’s been dying to go there did you think she wouldn’t go and ask if the sale was still going on?! SO not slick omg i love him though…but $50 FJKSKS idek where he got that type of money from

i do enjoy writing a good old dumb/oblivious reader every now and again but i do think they have to be done right to feel believable!! personally all of my y/ns and mcs are based off of aspects of my own personality — some closer to my actual self than others ofc — which i think makes it easier to flesh them out because it’s just like “okay what would i do in that situation” LMAOO most of my side character ocs are based off of people i know too which again makes it easier to make them feel complex because it’s like “right so how would ___ react to that happening to them”…sometimes they end up not even being that similar (tullia in pomegranate ink is NOTHING like my irl best friend that she’s “based off of”) but just thinking of them as real people helps me treat them as such in the narrative!!

haha yes everyone does start somewhere so i never try to hate to their faces but i think it’s okay to acknowledge a general trend/pattern!! like there’s a difference between saying “your specific fic sucks i hate how you wrote your main character” versus being like “i think a lot of fics in x fandom have this problem with characterization”!! to me it’s not hate because people can decide whether that applies to them or not yk?? and yeah the wattpad uwu mcs are truly smth…or the ones that are meant to be “badass” but are really just loud/rude/make overly sexual jokes and swear a lot 😭 a lot of the times at first it’s easy to make characters as stereotypes/caricatures of themselves or have them composed of cliches but i do think most people grow out of it i quickly!! just a phase we must all go through i suppose…i will be the first to say i was cringe when i started writing that’s why half of my old works are private now 😩

HAHA OUTPERFORMING INDEED it’s so funny whenever i visit india my relatives tell me it looks like my voice is being dubbed over because i speak such good hindi but i’m very pale by indian standards so i look like a foreigner 😭 which omg ik that’s such a stereotypical thing to be saying like “no i don’t look like my race” when you very obviously do but just this last january i visited india for the first time in six years and people IN INDIA (including literally people i’m related to) thought i was either irani, afghani, or from spain 😓 they’d get jumpscared when i’d speak to them in hindi KSDJKSAN their lives would flash before their eyes as they tried to remember if they had talked shit abt me 😩 i speak it a bit at home and with all of my extended family that’s kind of the only language they know so when i call them i speak it!! i also just have a really really good memory (hence the lack of studying) so i don’t forget things which helps me pick up languages rlly quickly

SNUFFY’S BACKSTORY KILLS ME it’s so sad yet also realistic??? like it really feels like smth that could’ve happened irl yk (idk if it’s based off of smth or not) but on the other hand yuki’s is so normal i love it 😍 the fact that he got into soccer in such an average and chill way too LMAOAOAO my unproblematic goat!! although the sister thing is so funny…i’m assuming this is a different friend’s older sister than the one he fell in love with at age 10 because according to egoist bible she was 16 😭 and this girl is only three years older than him so they must be diff?? lowkey crazy as hell omg even in elementary school yuki was pulling 😰 i always interpreted those two facts (his first love was his friend’s 16 year old sister and his first confession was when his friend’s sister kissed him on the forehead) as being abt the same person and it being like the 16 year old sister was just kissing him because he was a cute little kid and he misinterpreted it/got embarrassed because he had a crush on her if that makes sense?? but ig they’re different people entirely!!

[coulson-is-an-avenger]

saw your doc on ahab’s wife and… i cannot believe that is an actual book 😭😭 there was also this moby dick inspired book i read by a white woman which made some weird changes from the og as well but it was absolutely NOT that bad 😭😭 it’s called “ahab” by eb dawson and it’s a scifi md au that focuses on ahab and starbuck who are besties, and i checked it out bc wow a book about those two specifically?? but i was NOT expecting some changes until i actually read it, like queequeg was cut COMPLETELY, ishmael character is there but he is NOT like og ish, he’s some old chatty veteran instead of an observant greenhorn and he also is not the sole survivor, the sole survivor is the pip counterpart (who got named david pippin?). mary character was named ellen instead which i didn’t see the point in changing name?? ahab was also aged down immensely lmao (so was starbs but it affects less), he and starbs are only a few years apart?? also ahab lost his leg while saving starbuck, and the whales are like space machines that may or may not be sentient. there’s also a lot of stuff on land (on a planet) and the government and war between humans and the machine whales. ahab’s searching for md was not just revenge for taking his leg but also bc he believed the machines were sentient and were getting ready to go to war with the humans again? also starbuck had daddy issues (his dad is alive here but is a typical authoritarian overbearing rich parent who tries to influence his kid’s career) which killed me bc it was the first time i saw the idea outside of my own head and now it’s Somewhat a Thing?? lmao. honestly Most of it was Okay if you were to take it as its own book and not as an md retelling lol cause that’s when it gets funky but it does still have it’s issues. the ahab and starbuck in the book were so sweet tho like their scenes were so soft, i rly just read it for them (even tho at this point they are Not the ahab/starbs of the og lmao). i also appreciated their ahab, he was def a lot more than just “crazy vengeful captain”, tho very diff motivations from og ahab. there’s probably some other stuff i forgot it’s been a while but yeah. sorry for the unprompted dump but you’re an ahab/starbuck fan so i thought you’d wanna know 😭

GBSHAGSHSHDHS YEAH AHAB'S WIFE IS A SPECIAL KIND OF TRULY INSANE, I have officially begun a video essay script on it because it's just... so much

that being said holy shit my genuine favorite thing now is people unprompted telling me about moby dick adaptations, that's so interesting??? QUEEQUEG CUT COMPLETELY 😭😭😭???? man, that sounds kind of interesting, I'm also right there with you in the starhab court (ahab having lost his leg to save starbuck is 👀) and PIP AS THE SOLE SURVIVOR IS VERY FUN ouughhgh @pocketsizedquasar (still waiting for their acct to come back 😭 but their ao3 is the same) actually has a fic on that premise that Haunts me so im 👁

tldr oooooh that definitely sounds like it has potential and missed opportunities!!!! i may poke around at it and see what's up out of curiosity hehe

also STARBUCK DADDY ISSUES IS SO REAL HELLOO 👁👁 yesyes. put that protestant in Situations. would love to hear more of your thoughts on that headcanon, anon (if you want to share)

but yaya thank you for sharing your adventure!!!! im glad you had a good time with it!!! mechanical whales sounds so fuckin slay fr gndkfnfk

Thoughts on Blades 2?

so sexy of u to ask. i have many thoughts. i think the new lis looks are GOOD you’re all wrong. apart from mal rip to his hair. but imtura looks cute i love her braids. i am however sad that she’s probably going to be the last li we collect again): i love her sm. valax could drain me idc idc let her have the light realm!!!!! let her have it and keep me for her weird science!!!! nia reforming the temple of light is cute and she deserves it. i also hope that being used by the dreadlord will have extended her lifespan so she doesn’t die super quickly via magic that’s my theory. aerin is so funny imagine being in a prison for a year and acting like that. loser (affectionate). tyril’s little corset belt why he dressing like that??? is it for mal to grab ur waist??? whore. all n all, i’m very excited. i have high hopes, i love all the designs they’ve posted so far and i am so hyped for goblins. mc being the specialist little realmwalker is so funny to me. u go funky loser. imagine if the realmwalker magical specialist girlie ever just fucking lived in riverbend and never left. ur the realmwalker, ur so magical and special and mal never showed up in ur town so u just lived and died, nothing else ever happened. also don’t trust the watcher fr

Fanfic Writer Interview

How many works do you have on AO3?

eleven 🥹 four ongoing, six complete, one sort of.... resting (I hesitate to say abandoned lol)

it's a small number but i never thought i'd get to this point so yay!!

Your top 5 stories by kudos/likes:

love in the vein (2,219 words) - M, skk, complete one-shot (albeit part of a larger ongoing universe), 18-year-old prince dazai and his fiancé (trans) chuuya make out in a garden and muse about love and trust 👀written for a valentine's day challenge!

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

yes! very rarely in a timely manner but I do try to. I spend a lot of emotional energy in my fics and I like to have discussions about it when people make comments c:

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

probably we burn our blue love (mentioned above)... I think it's not necessarily angsty due to the events of the fic itself (which is mostly smut tbh) but due to what happens in canon later on and how it's alluded to at the end of the fic... bloohooohoooo i will never NOT be crying over the dark era!!!!

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

apart from the aforementioned angst, all my fics have happy endings!! probably the cutest softest fluffiest is my candy boy, my baby (also mentioned above) just bc it's a valentine's day fic and it's so tooth-rottingly sweet uwu uwu

Do you write crossovers?

never properly written one but I do have a bsd x borderlands AU living in my head. I also have a bsd kpop AU waiting to be written, and that counts as a crossover bc i've written kpop fic before and also I said so

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

no, I keep to myself mostly... I'd like some of my works to get more love but I worry about reaching the wrong audience LOL it's a two edged sword fr

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

yes but it's gotta have angst and/or pining and/or fluff attached to it lmao i am EMOTIONAL ALL THE TIME at my core

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

no~ not that I am aware of

Have you ever had a fic translated?

no

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

not technically but I've been back and forth with @nettlestingsoup and other irl friends on some delightful AU concepts before. should do that more often it's great for the brain

What’s your all-time favorite ship?

all-time gotta be royed. I am never leaving behind my funky little blorbos that got me PROPERLY into online shipping culture in the early 00s. they come back around every few years like a planet with a weird orbit and my singular remaining fma brain cell just buzzes like crazy and then goes dead again.

but rn I'm insane about skk since the last few years and I don't see that changing hehe

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

oh.... my kryptonite question.....

Kid Gloves is probably dead now. it's just been too many years since its inception and the things that made me want to write it in the first place. plus, I think my writing has improved a lot since then and I sort of cringe looking at it now lol

I have a fuckton of skz WIPs as well but I maintain that one day I *will* finish them ?? (denial) (delusional)

What are your writing strengths?

i like writing fun or snappy dialogue, i think it comes very easily to me (especially with the kind of semi-antagonistic ships that I really enjoy) and I like to show off with lots of in-depth extended metaphors too

What are your writing weaknesses?

movement.... action.... i'm really struggling to make my scenes not static BWUH

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Tmnt 2012 au

So this IS HEAVILY INSPIRED by lfls by @eternalglitch , And this was supposed to be the alternate ending of that once episode, that is clash of the mutanimals. Seeing raph get picked by his controlled friends (Rockwell and Slash) and getting taken by them made me like ooh angst, and the fact they picked raph since he has that fighting spirit, and is a great warrior amongst his brothers (dw the bros' are great warriors as well frfr) , AND THAT ONE SCENE SJDFASF WHERE RAPH WAS STRAPPED ON A TESTING TABLE WITH HIS FRIENDS RIGHT BESIDE HIM JUST STANDING THERE

while he tries to snap his friends out of it he tries to "wriggle" off the tight straps, and they just stood there as if they don't hear his calls (ofc their controlled duhhh)

SLASH JUST FR MADE HIM STOP MOVING

AND THE PLACE WHERE THEY PUT THE BRAINWORM, (He def will be scared of worms after that ig), SO yeah after that happens Tigerclaw tells shredder that they should put a "shock" collar on him if he ever gets out of the control of the brain worm, and so shredder agrees and tells the fly man (I forgot his name..) to create a shock collar, and so he creates it using some kraang tech ( Idk how they got it but they got it lesgo) He created a manual button for the shredder and others in case of emergencies, There are like 4 or 3 modes or levels of the shock (Idk yet I'm thinkin' abt it)

So yeah, raph wakes up in that weird room, (Where they fought that shredder in that ep) And so Shredder tests the brain worms performance ( Yeah I forgot how it goes on the episode so yeah imagine it) And the moment the crew ( Leo, Mikey, Donnie, Leatherhead) Barge in raph was about to end shredder but he stopped when shredder said enough, Leo shouted "Raph do it end this!"

Donnie says "What is he waiting for?!" (I think?) And then yeah SHredder says raphael is mine now to control,

Then leo runs to shredder to slash him but then raph stops him, Leo shouted "Raph snap out of it man, Shredder's the enemy!" Raph counters it and says

"You are the enemy"

And they fight and so on yadayada,

Leo goes like "raph you gotta break Shredder's control, this isn't you! Where's that crazy temper?"

Then rapahel goes "Don't be a fool, theres nothing you could say Leonardo" And they fight yeah again

Leo says "Ah I think I get it, you can't feel emotion because your shredder's puppet" Then he starts to get angry, " As a matter of fact I bet you like doing whatever shredder tells you" Leo added, " You probably love it!" Leo said

Then raph starts to get more and more angry,

(GAHAHAHAH I'M SO GLAD I DID THIS SS) A feeling reached his throat as If he wanted to puke, Then ( aNOTHER FUNKY SCREENSHOT AHAHAHAH)

After that

Raph got out of SHredders control.. But then As he saw that Raphael was no longer responding to his orders Shredder Asked stockman to explain what happened to the worm,

He replied "I dont no Ssszzir.." Then he gave the control for the collar and explained blah blah blah. He pressed the button then the collar started beeping (3 beeps) Then raph pushed leo away because he doesn't know what'll happen, so yeah raph gets shocked, his brothers are just there, eyes wide.

Part 2 of explanation? Mmm maybe

Re-watching and re-evaluating "M:I - Dead Reckoning (Part One)"

A long, long time ago, somewhere in the Internet ether, I had promised to review this movie. well here it is if anyone still cares

Still think the introductory scene in the submarine was a bit long, but it didn't feel as long as it did the first time when I was foaming at the mouth to see Tom and only Tom for the first time in a new movie in the theater

Definitely a lot of exposition in the first Cary Elwes/Kittridge/etc. scene, but the information was necessary for the most part. Just very funky and unnatural how they divided the dialogue amongst everyone and they were finishing each other's sentences, like people Do Not talk like that

Also did anyone else think it was weird how long it was until the intro credits montage too? Idk maybe that's my personal artistic choice talking. Either way it was a super neat montage and I loved it, regardless of when it occurred; I was just afraid the first time I saw it that we weren't going to get one ����👀👀

The whole end-of-days AI thing is definitely way too relevant and 1) stresses me out v badly, but also 2) Tom Cruise gives me hope that maybe we will eventually defeat it, even if it's not by he himself punching it to death 🤞🏻💖

Best comprehensive soundtrack of the franchise; the only one that has actually stuck out in my mind and I can remember at all and has stirred up genuine emotion in me

The Rome car chase safely occupies the spot as the best one I've ever seen, and you can tell the difference with how they used real sets and props vs. just wall-to-wall greenscreen 😖 I also love how the hijinks with like, the handcuffs and the seat-switching feel like smth out of an older spy comedy movie?? Vintage vibes ✨🤌🏻

If Tom Cruise could just casually stand with me protectively like that for a while and shield me from the w o r l d I think it might fix me 🥺🥲

The way Grace drives is a glimpse into what it feels like for me every time I get on the road

I love the yellow Fiat and I want it gimme gimme

Pom Klementieff's character is definitely too over the top for me. absolutely feral. someone tranquilize her pls. give her a nap. but hey, I'm glad she's having fun 🩷

Rebecca Ferguson was so underused and felt weirdly distant and separated even when she was present in this movie- def my biggest disappointment >:(

When I say I absolutely hated the big retcon about how agents are drafted into the IMF like MY PUPPY-DOG EYED NERD BENJI AND ETHAN "LOVES HIS FRIENDS" HUNT WERE NOT CRIMINALS IT DOESN'T MAKE A LICK OF SENSE FOR THEIR CHARACTERS BOY HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND CAUSE I'LL HELP YOU FIND IT 😤😤😤

Didn't think I was going to like Hayley Atwell at all before seeing the movie bc I tend not to like the way female action movie characters are written and I am a simp for Ilsa if you couldn't tell, but I ended up really enjoying her

Gabriel showed a lot of promise as a cool villain in the beginning when he was all mysterious, but ultimately there wasn't anything memorable about him for me. Only one who's earned that reward to date in M:I is Philip Seymour Hoffman, but maybe if/when we learn more about his backstory/motivation; hope is still alive for now

They've got Grace dressed like a fkin pirate there in Venice. And Pom is giving absolute "Black Parade" realness

ILSA MY SWEET LITTLE BABY SHE DIED ALL ALONE AND THEY DON'T EVEN SHOW ANYONE CRYING OVER HER DEATH EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS SUCH A SO-CALLED CLOSE FRIEND AND ALLY AND *DEF MORE* TO ETHAN AND IT'S JUST SO FUCKING WEIRD AND WRONG I ALMOST WISH THEY'D JUST QUIETLY WRITTEN HER OUT AFTER FALLOUT

Like kill her off if Rebecca wants to engage in other projects but give the character a proper send-off if you must. But fr, I agree with everyone's critique that she was such a welcome departure and sign of progress from the completely-interchangeable-female-action-character-who's-only-there-to-provide-new-and-different-eye-candy-every-time, and then right after she's really established and gelled with everyone they kill her off and switch her out in the team with another brunette female IN THE VERY NEXT SCENE BEFORE HER BODY IS EVEN COLD IN THE GRAVE

Yes. I understand that it's an action movie and, within the high-stakes confines of the plot, time for mourning is limited. Yes I understand that the other characters have witnessed many other deaths before. But the fact is that her character was special and different, to the characters and to us, and the filmmakers could have done it better. Ok, main gripe of the movie over 😔

Not sure if it's a plot hole or I just don't understand technology, but couldn't the Entity have messed with the computer in Benji's car when he puts it in self-drive while trying to help Ethan board the train...? 🤨🤨

Yep the Train Scene was just as brilliant and utterly harrowing as I remembered; most stressful viewing experience of me life 🥲😭

And, as much of a stretch as it was, I am a sucker indeed still for the part where Pom saves their lives 🥺 and now I kinda hope she lives and sticks around and has a badass, dare I say heroic moment or two in the future

Overall, despite my number of gripes, it still goes down as my favorite movie in the franchise overall 💖 the perfect proportions of comedy and drama, so many iconic and likable characters, and plenty of the unparalleled action sequences we've come to expect but even better than any we've seen before, and I am chomping at the bit for Part Two to eventually, someday, please please please come out thank you and see you at the movies 👋🏻✨

Attempting to draw all of Makoto’s masks +Mask rating

Normal-10/10. Classic. Great mask. Hated the nostrils at first but I don’t mind them anymore

Open mouth- 9/10. Not too different. Point docked off because I cannot draw him in that sprite without it looking goofy

Devious- 9/10, felt a bit weird about it at first but I love it now

Sad- 10/10, for some reason I just love how it looks. The sad little guy. He looks so pathetic lmao

?-5/10, nothing bad, just kinda mid

Blue-7/10, basically no difference except the colour. Boo. Boring. Still high rating because it’s Makoto’s mask

Yellow-5/10, no strong feelings on this one. It’s kinda funky.

Blushing-6/10, didn’t like it at first, it grew on me tho.

Angry-4/10, it looks kinda weird but it’s pretty funny whenever he has it. Also JUST realized when I was drawing that there’s no tongue. Huh.

Furious-2/10, not gonna lie was dreading drawing it, looks weird Lmao. However I do love how his pupil becomes a diamond, that’s pretty cool.

Purple-9/10, I like it, it looks cool. The amount of circles you have to draw for his eye is unreal tho lmao

Evil I guess?-10/10, I am a sucker for swirly eyes. Also I have an abnormally long tongue irl, so this mask just like me fr fr 😌 /j

[cabatboy]

HELLO THERE •w•!!

INTRO

I am a guy who slowly over the past year or so realised xe is vampirekin,,,,, then a batkin,,,, then oh maybe xe goes by xe and is actually a full therian and gets shifts,,,, oh and nope xe’s also a cat and maybe wants to get into petre

So I’m here now! to look into petre on a blog where my friends and mutuals can’t see me working things out and/or getting into a kinda stigmatised practice, fr happy to be here though dw about it <3

NAME AND THERIOTYPES

Call me Magpie for now, I’m not settled on a ‘pet name’ yet but my cat self seems to respond happily to Magpie, I think it’s due to him being a black and white cat

my kin/theriotypes are vampirekin, bat therian and cat therian! with definitely more of an emphasis on the cat atm but it’s fluid! I am looking into cat regression and bat regression specifically and get phantom limb for basically pretty much every aspect of both animal.

GENDER AND PRONOUNS

I am ‘fully male’ as far as I know and also pansexual greyaroace, but I relish the chance to get funky with it, I’ve been incorporating more bat stuff into my gender recently and I’ve been really enjoying it! just no female terms or ‘uwu soft trans boy’ stuff please, at the end of the day I may be a soft little kitty catboy but I’m still a man.

xe/bat/vamp/meow are currently the preferred pronouns, but he and they work fine as well! it’s just I hear those more in my day to day life so using my ‘weirder’ pronouns is more appreciated <3

FURTHER INFO

I am in the 18-25 age range and do not regress down to any other age! although I’m not against agere I’m more interested in petre. I also swear a lot! If any of this makes you uncomfortable, I understand completely and genuinely no hard feelings! I also have not ‘properly’ regressed into a pet before either but am looking for tips on how to do so!

I have autism, adhd, bipolar, and anxiety, and am trying to still work out and unpack if I have trauma and what it is. feel free to ask me questions or request me to tag/tonetag anything. Do not worry about me, I like to think I can handle stuff like an adult even if this is my mentally ill kitty space haha so don’t feel scared to bring stuff up with me!

my fave regression stuff are 100% pokemon, adventure time and bluey please talk to me about pokemon, adventure time, or Bluey I LOVE them!! my favourite characters are Chilli and Marceline respectively! and my favourite Pokémon is Lycanroc :3

DNI

This blog is a safe space, and standard DNI’s are in place. I talk enough about politics and life and shit on my main blog, this is just a chill space. No NFSW or Kink blogs please, no discourse or syscourse, all systems are welcome here. no TERFs, Transmeds, anti-xenogender, etc. people, anyone who thinks agere or pet play are inherently sexual, no empty blogs, no proship people, also no hazbin hotel or spongebob or jjba stuff. There’s probably more but like you know standard agere blog DNI stuff, yeah that. just like,,, this is my weird space to be weird and cringe and free and safe; don’t like don’t read if you don’t fuck w/ that.

But yeah if you’re in sfw petre/sfw agere/therian tumblr please give me a follow :D!!!! I’d love to have you :D

[smilesrobotlover]

Have any lore about LBL Four and Time? I love their designs :o

OOOH ok so Four… I have so many thoughts on four

So when Four used the four sword he really couldn’t mentally merge again. There are side effects to magic if you are not built to wield it, which you’ll see with a lot of my links who were touched by magic! It took a bit for him to realize that he was no longer Link, but he was now green, blue, vio, and red in one body. Bascially they’re all vibing in the brain seeing things the person “controlling” Link sees, however they can’t just let someone control. Idk how they switch but they don’t know how either lol. I do want to be clear tho that this is NOT DID. I am not skilled or educated enough to write DID correctly and Four is simply too young to even have fleshed out alters. But yeah that’s his whole thing involving the split. It’s heavily inspired after the manga so the personalities are all the same! I’ve been projecting HEAVILY on Blue, he’s very angry but he’s actually super lonely but he prefers to keep to himself so he blames himself whenever he feels lonely. He’s just like me fr.

I cant say what happened directly after the events of MM but I will say that Termina was not a different kingdom, but it was a parallel universe not touched by Hylia (which is why it’s called Termina and not Hyrule). Idk how he got there but he does weird funky timeline shenanigans while trying to find Navi. It’s why everything is the same as Hyrule but also very different. It’s also why the world was going to completely end because there was no goddess there to stop it. Very weird freaky stuff going on. I have more thoughts on Termina and the happy mask salesman but I don’t want to spoil anything lol. And y’all already know this but when Time was able to return to Hyrule, he figured that since everything is much different and so much time has passed, that he shouldn’t even bother to rekindle the old friendships he had from oot. So he just kinda travelled on his own, but he got terribly sick and Talon found him suffering on the side of the road. He also recognized Epona so he brought them both home so Time could get better. And that’s why Time is at lon lon and why he fell in love with Malon.

[yellowocaballero]

HEY!! Your trigun swap au is so very good!! I've always loved roleswap aus as a concept, and yours is the perfect example of why. it's all about the balancing act of twisting the (swapped) character's background/mentalities for maximum domino effect while not actually *destroying* the character ya know? you still gotta recognize them, it's half of the fun. just some little nudges here... and there... with the delightful result of a changed plot/world that you can discover anew

Also I surprisingly vibe with Dr Knives. a lot. what can I say I guess it's the fucked up superiority-inferiority/guilt complex with a dash of imposter syndrome. also the transgenderism. he's just like me fr fr (minus the speciesism and bloodlust) 1/3

SPEAKING OF! I'm literally a week late for that but chapter 4 may be my favorite so far. it's got it all: Ww's bloodlust coming through and being given a GUN, M&M being #JustNormalGunsmokeKidsThings about it, Knives being incredibly tired and enthusiastically murderous in turns, TRANS PEOPLE!! Funky morally dubious trans men ! Intersex nonbinary Knives (in humans terms) !! small internal rants about ecosystems!

I particularly like that one bc I too found myself twitching whenever I see (in fics or fandom at large) Gunsmoke being shown as a ~hostile, barren~ planet when, like.... *waves agitedly at the Tomases* *waves frantically at the WORMS, in all their INCREDIBLY DIVERSIFIED sizes and shapes* tell me there isn't an entire ecosystem supporting and including these bad boys. And god do I wanna know about it. Terraforming this terraforming that. Enough. I want bio-worldbuilding fics that are just as weird and unhinged as the rest of trigun (2/3)

To go back to Nicholas : I loved his discussion with Knives about fate and predestination and stuff (esp since -I may be reading too much into it, but it’s interesting that Knives says he doesn’t believe in predestination anymore, and just a bit later goes about how his personality is Like That bc he’s Biologically Programmed for it), and his last words in it are especially ominous. WHAT were you gonna say about Vash. How does it concern Nicholas. This is gonna bite them in the ass later isn’t it.

Also ur last asks/answers REALLY doesn’t reassure me about woowoo’s fate. Is he gonna die. Is he gonna end up going thru the same things than his canon counterpart (concentrate of medical-and-general unethicality). Idk what those flags are for but boy They Are There.

Aallll that to say I absolutely love that fic and can't wait to see what you do next with it, thank you so much !! (3/3)

This is so nice thank you so much :D :D :D To comment in order:

Roleswaps are no fun if you can't recognize the character. You're absolutely right - the funnest part is to make the smallest changes possible, and see how they cause the biggest differences. That's true of every AU, honestly - you guys know those 600k shonen manga aus where something major is different but every story beat is identical to canon? Or they're identical to every other au? They're addictive but without substance. Also sounds boring to write.

It's so funny that you (and others) vibe with Dr. Knives! From my end, he has my own very wry deadpan and self-esteem problems. Characters who have both a ridiculously inflated ego for comedy purposes and some real self-esteem problems for drama purposes work great.

I was surprised that so many people enjoyed the trans thing so much! I didn't expect it to make people so happy. Of course it's a nice surprise. I don't remember why I made the BDN decision (funny, probably) or the 'Knives invented gender reassignment surgery' thing (funny definitely), but a very active decision and something that made Knives above every other character fun to write is that he is not a human being and does not think of himself as such. The way his body experiences emotion is different, his body itself is different in a way that probably includes genitalia, and there's no reason for him to experience gender the same way. As I'm about to talk about in the upcoming chapter, he casually refers to himself as a thing and with it/its and it doesn't affect his superiority complex whatsoever.

I...would not have said that this is trans by myself, if that makes sense, because I wouldn't have wanted to say "in order to really hammer in how this character is INHUMAN then I'm gonna make him not male or female and prefer neopronouns!". It's just the shape of the character, to me. BUT LIKE IF Y'ALL LIKE IT! NO PROBLEM! I was just worried I might be saying the wrong thing, so I didn't want to say it, if that makes sense. Y'all can say it though.

Trigun worldbuilding is nonsensical and hideously vague and as a writer if you stop and think too hard about silly questions like "where does the wood come from" or "why is Vash eating salmon sandwiches" then you go insane. But...yeah, Gunsmoke's like any other ecosystem, and its worms and thomases seem to be doing great! It's not Gunsmoke's fault it is almost completely uninhabitable to humans. It sucks for us, but...does Knives care about that??? Lmfao???

There is a shitton to say about Knives' relationship with predestination and inevitability, because it's why he made the worst decision of his life. I think of it as...reasonable, in a lot of ways. If all you knew about humanity was what you read in history textbooks, and human history ended with the destruction of Earth and themselves, how would you feel? Everything humans have done, they do again. And if they dissected your sister, in an act of cruelty that they had done to even themselves...of course you'd worry. Of course. If you're young and scared and you can hear the screams of the dead in your ears, of course you feel like it's going to be you or them. And if you're.........Millions Knives.......and reverse!Vash.....then eliminating the threat is just good business sense.

And you aren't reading too much into it - Trigun in so many ways is about choices, and the impact of your choices. Your decisions are you own, and you must take responsibility for them. Decisions have weight in Trigun. I think what ppl miss sometimes about Vash is that he also wants to fuckin' murder people sometimes. He wants to be violent, he wants to hurt. He just chooses not to. Sometimes choosing pacifism is a hard fucking choice, and I think wiping that away does a disservice to the character. So if Knives would say, "Well, it's just who I am, I had no choice, I had no control, I just go nuts and murder it's not on me..." - what does that mean, in Trigun? It's??? Like??? A pussy thing to say???

But, the way I thought about it - what Knives is fighting is his internal sense that he is predestined for cruelty. He knows "who he really is" and any attempt at goodness is futile, because he's secretly bad and will always be bad. And he fucks up sometimes and starts exploding worms. But Knives chooses goodness, and I don't think he's really cottoned on that his choice to do good is more important than his internal desires to do bad and his history of badness. Because he hates himself.

I think what Knives knows now as an adult is that our lives have paved a path for us to tread. Sometimes that path is innocent, and sometimes your life paves a very nasty path. But it's our choice if we walk it or not. Knives knows what his path is, and it gives him extreme shame - but he chose which one he walked, and that's what I judge him on. Still funny how much he loves murder though.

So Sweden has a winner!

It was the most predictable winner. And it makes me a bit bummed.

I do like Loreen a lot! In fact, I am very happy we for the second year in a row send a girl to esc instead of a generic boy that we sent for like 7 years in a row. Also, she has a bit of a ”weird girl” vibe, which I appreciate. Though, Cornelia last year was more in my taste. Also Loreen’s song, I am sorry, was not as good as Euphoria.

But what makes me bummed is that she’s already won before. She has already gotten her glory. So for her to win again now is like. Hm, I want the others to have a chance.

But you know, this is not the first or last person who has won mello more than once. I mean, Carola won the whole esc in 1991 and then won mello again 2006. Not to mention a lot of other countries also have done ”previous representants returning”. It’s nothing new in esc and tbh it happens with one country or another every year.

I just wish that we dared to send a little more funky, corny, not so serious song. I thought last year we started to break out of our shells with Cornelia. But we always seem to go with the ”safe choice”. We haven’t always done that though, it really started like… after 2015 really, I think. In 2007, we had this, which was like. Mm ❤️ Why are we so boring now? Not to mention in the 80s, when we had a song that had a bald man without a shirt doing an electric guitar solo, and also won the entire esc with a song about GOLDEN SHOES

And in Mello, we HAVE some corny, funny, ”just here to have fun” songs. But they get no points?? Neither from us Swedes ourselves, and if they do, then the international jury in the finale (aka our mortal enemy) will NOT give them points.

I gotta say, Sverige, du gamla du fria du smällfeta ko, VARFÖR HAR NI SÅ DÅLIG MUSIKSMAK??!! I’m not talking about Loreen, but like, the other good songs in the finale? WHY DID NORDMAN GET SUCH FEW VOTES? I understand the jury didn’t give them much because the jury has the most basic of music taste, but swedes?? THAT SONG IS THE ONE I HAVE BEEN BLASTING THE MOST?? And John Henrik Fjällgren?? ESC WOULD HAVE LOVED JOIK. THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED BALD MEN PLAYING A KEYHARP WITH 3D CROWS. THEY WOULD HAVE LOVED THE HARD ROCK BAND SMASH INTO PIECES.

AND ALL THE SONGS THAT DIDN’T GET TO THE FINALE. EDELWEISS?? SOBER?? HECK I KNOW UJE HAD A SOAR THROAT BUT HAVING GRYTAN IN THE FINALE WOULD HAVE SPICED IT UP SO MUCH - HONESTLY THESE THREE SONGS SPECIFICALLY, IF THEY WERE IN THE FINALE THERE WOULD BE SUCH A CONTRAST. SURE MAYBE THEY WOULDN’T WIN BUT THERE WOULD BE SUCH A VARIETY.

How tf did Marcus and Martinus place so high? Imagine if they would have won. Imagine. The norwegians would be so pissed. The irony.

Also how did Tone get 5 points? What is going on?

But there were highlights of this night

I really loved the hosts this year. Their dynamic ❤️

The fact that Paul Rey got loved by the jury and then got ONE point from the swedish people. I don’t understand how he even got to the finale. Did he rig the show??

The way Farah is ready to kiss any woman she speaks to in green room like fr 🫶 #giveFarahamellogf2023 /j

When Jesper interviewed random people on the street and one person walked away and said ”kiss in the butt” and I LOST IT. WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN-

Friends (the group) performing in Friends Arena

DANNY SAUCEDO (in the most ???? outfit like sweetie didn’t you do a whole middle act about your clothing style in 2013)

Either way. Wish we could have gotten some less predictable winner, cause it wasn’t much excitement I felt. I don’t hate the song tho and Loreen is a very good performer.

It was very fun to liveblog with my fellow swedes tho. I guess mello isn’t about the winner, it’s about the fun we had on the way.

See y’all in May.
