#how to do tiktok jump transition

Hamzah the fantastic yapping about his girlfriend: compilation

Not a lot of people know about Hamzah’s relationship, but once he has a chance to talk about you, he will not shy away from talking about you. Fans could not help but make videos of them as tiktok clips or compilation videos on youtube.

There is no denying that he is head over heels for you, but some moments top others. The most popular one was a YouTube compilation named “Hamzah Being in Love: compilation”

The first clip was in an OOC podcast, where they talk about the most efficient thing: buying food outside or cooking food at home.

“No, 'cause my girlfriend always cooks food for us,” Hamzah says, as he's holding his mic, and Martin nods “I guess cooking food is good.”

“Of course, when you have a great cook at home.”

Martin smiles as he can see Hamzah being passionate about this topic, “I’ll give you and Mandy some of Y/n amazing cooking. If there's any left, though.”

“Cause sometimes I just finish them all,” he replied, “One of the best foods I've eaten was made by Y/n, God, now I'm missing her cooking.”

“I miss you, babe,” he said, looking at the camera as Martin laughed, folding like a plastic chair. Hamzah smiling.

The second clip was of Fortnite gameplay in the slushy noobz youtube channel. They were playing the game, and when Hamzah could hear the door slowly swing open, his gaze was on the door. He sees his girlfriend slowly trying to find something.

He could hear Martin trying to get a backup while he gets tag teamed, “Hi, what are you trying to find?” Hamzah said, as his Fortnite character was on all fours, leaving Martin defending himself

“Dude?!”

“I got it.” Your voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough to pick up from the mic, “Okay, I love you,” Hamzah said, Martin clutched the three v one fight, and he sighed loudly, snapping Hamzah out of his long stare

“Dude, what happened?” he said. Martin's face turned sour as he scratched his head, indicating he was irritated. “You are what happened.”

The next one was one of Hamzah’s old livestreams, where he was just talking to his chat, trying to pass the time. He got a donation asking what he would do this weekend

“Ahh, well, I'm gonna hang out with my girlfriend since she will be coming back to her hometown. Might as well show her around until she has to leave.” people are curious, asking if they can see her.

He wasn't hesitant and called you on the phone, “baby, people want to see you; can you come here?” and without a minute, you can see his girlfriend popping, waving to chat as a greeting

You can see the messages scrolling quickly as they compliment you. You smiled, “There she is, my beautiful other half.”

The next clip shown was Martin and Hamzah playing FNAF, It was getting dark, and they didn't know how many hours they wasted while they played the game.

Hamzah showed his phone to show what time it was, and his wallpaper was you standing up, flash on while you were holding his hand, “It’s 9:45, I'm getting sick of this game”

Martin nodded but continued to control and run. “If they keep doing this to us, then… developers. Get ready for my fist.”

He sighed as he shifted in his seat to get comfortable. He kissed his phone screen as Martin looked at his antics and asked, “What was that?”

“Missing her right now-” and suddenly got jump scared by Monty; they jumped out of their seats. They nervously laugh.

The video transitioned to another OOC podcast clip, but instead of just Martin and Hamzah, you and Mandy were in it. You were sitting next to Hamzah, and Mandy was sitting next to Martin, so they were still in the frame. Since they didn't expect you to join them, you shared the microphone with Hamzah.

The four were talking about who always wakes up early in the morning and how late one wakes up. “Sometimes I wake her up since she works at dentistry so she gotta be extra early, and I cook her food because she always says she doesn't like the food near their clinic.”

He handed the microphone to you and said, “Yeah, 'cause the food there just doesn't hit right like you're cooking.”

“You like my cooking?” he curiously said, as you nodded and got the microphone, “Of course, I especially like the notes you put on my lunchbox. Always a cliché quote like ‘love you to the moon and back’ or ‘I think you're tooth cute’ and it's so cute.”

He grinned and looked at you. “Glad you like them.”

“Isn't it funny how both of our girlfriends are health professionals, while we are… just influencers?” Martin said as he was racking his brain up.

The last clip was another bake-off, and you finally cave into their pleas to be there, and for the first time, the place they use is in Hamzah's kitchen.

The measuring cup and ingredients were on the island table, big bowls were laid as they were mixing their batter, and you pre-heated the oven.

“You don't have to over-mix it, Martin. Now you won't have stiff peaks!” you said as you looked at Martin’s bowl. He was making meringue for his spin-off lemon meringue pie but instead of lemon, it was a simple blueberry pie with meringue.

“I’m sorry! I did not know!” He said as he raised both his hands like he was at gunpoint. Hamzah noticed your face was sweating, and your hair was sticking to it. He grabbed a piece of tissue paper and wiped your face while you were talking to Martin.

“Yeah, I need that cinnamon.” You knead your dough for the cinnamon rolls you were going to make. Hamzah decided to pull you away from the table so that he could tie your hair.

“Hold still,” you said, lowering a bit so he could tie your hair properly. “Thank you, babe”

You kissed his cheek, leaving your preferred glossy lip tint print on his face. He smiled like he had won the lottery. “You're welcome!”

“Now I feel like I'm the third wheel right now, jeez,” Martin pipped, as you smiled and continued to knead the dough. “You do this all the time, Hamzah?”

“Yeah, when we do it in the back-” the clip cut off, and they continued to do what they were doing. Let's just say that Hamzah did not wipe his face for the entire video.

(I'M BACK! I love Hamzah sm, and I'd totally do a part two of this if ya'll guys want!!)

When your child comes out to him

————

COD Men Headcanons

König

Your daughter was nervous, scared even

She spent too much time of TikTok and watched how coming out videos turned for the worse

She just didn’t want that to happen

Her mom already knew, she figured it out but her father König, clueless he didn’t know

“Heidi, your father is home!” Y/n calls from the bottom of the stairs

It was a plan to do it when he gets home and today was that time

Heidi comes downstairs and sees him hugging her mom and kissing her temple, she plays with her fingers to she was acknowledged by him

“Hey, Heidi, how was school?”

“Good….dad?”

“Yes?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Okay, what is it?” She looks at her mom and she nods to her daughter to give her and her husband some time together

“Umm~ I…I…” she didn’t know how to start this. “Dad I like someone.”

“Oh really? Is he nice?”

He?

“No dad umm~ I…I like a girl…her name is Stella…dad, I’m….I’m a lesbian…I like girls dad.”

König was a little shocked by what his daughter said but the shock wore off and it turned into happy tears

“DAD?!” She yells

“I’m so happy,” he says, walking to his daughter and holding her in an embrace

Y/n comes around the corner and saw her husband holding her daughter in a warm hug

“Did you know?” He asked Y/n

“I did…she was just nervous to tell you.”

“Heidi you are my daughter, my blood, you can love who you want to love, that is your decision.”

❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

Ghost



Oh come on, he knew

He figured it out

He pays great attention to minor details

He figured it out when he saw his son look at his best friend

And Ghost put the pieces together

His son Silas was nervous to tell his father not knowing he already knew

“Dad.”

“Yeah?” He says.

“I want to tell you something.”

“I already know, bud.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I know…you’re gay…”

“H-How did you?”

“When we went on that family holiday to the beach and you took your friend Mark with you…I saw how you two acted…I know bud and it’s okay…”

“Dad-“

“It’s okay bud. You are allowed to love who you wanna love. I’m not allowed to judge, it’s all about you, bud.”

“So you’re not…”

“What disappointed? Fuck no bud. Thats ridiculous to get upset about.”

“Thanks dad.”

“Of course bud.”

❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

Price

Like König he was clueless, his wife knew but he didn’t

Your son Beau was bisexual but was too afraid to say anything to Price

He was scared if his dad will accept him or not

Price came home from the gym, setting his bag on the ground and saw a little note by his wife letting him know she was at the store

Beau was sitting on the couch with his best friend Emmett

They didn’t know Price was home they looked at each other and without thinking they kissed

Which of course caught Price off guard

“Beau?” He says, both boys pulled away from each other jumping from the couch. Beau was stunned along with his best friend

“Dad, it’s not what it looks like.”

“I think it’s exactly what it looks like, and bud…it’s okay, but what about Charlotte?”

“We broke up.”

“Oh…I see, well, have fun, I’ll be in my office, tell if you need anything.”

“Is he okay?” Emmett asked.

“I think he’s just in shock,” Beau says.

And he was, but he was proud of his son

❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

Soap

Soap’s daughter was transitioning

He was changing his look, how he spoke and Soap didn’t notice his daughter changing before his eyes

He didn’t go by Kiara anymore but Kyle

Kyle was so scared to talk about him transitioning to his father and how Soap may not understand, Kyle broke when Soap kept calling him Kiara and using she and her

“Kiara, can you come unload the dishwasher please?” Soap calls.

Kyle was doing homework and needed to get it done, so he accidentally snapped at Soap.

“Not now I have schoolwork to do, I won’t have time and it’s Kyle!” He rolls his eyes at Soap.

“Kyle? Who the hell is Kyle?” He asked, Kyle paused and realized what he just did

“Shit,” he mumbles under his breath

“Kiara?”

“Dad,” before he snapped again, he took a deep breath and tried to compose himself. “Dad…I’m transgender…I’m not Kiara anymore, I’m Kyle…I’m not a girl anymore, I’m a boy.”

“Does your mother know?”

“Yes…I was just scared to tell you.”

“Oh, baby, it’s okay…I’m sorry I’ve been calling you the wrong name. You are my child…I understand, I have a few co-worker who are trans. I will try my hardest to call you by the right name and right pronouns. I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay dad,” Kyle smiles at him.

“So, can you unload now?”

“Yeah, I guess so.”

❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

Alejandro

You daughter wasn’t too nervous

Like König’s daughter she saw videos gone wrong but knowing her father, he will be just fine with it

Maria gets the strength and goes downstairs to where Alejandro sits on the couch

Maria was coming out as aromatic something that was light and something Alejandro may not understand that much

“Papa.”

“Yeah?”

“I have something to tell you.”

“Okay? What is it-wait is it something bad?”

“I don’t think so?”

“You don’t think so?”

“Papa!”

“Okay, okay, go on.”

“You know how I talked about not possibly being attracted to some people?”

“Yeah?”

“And you know how I said, that some people could also not feel love towards others?”

“Yes? Maria where’s this going?”

“Papa! I’m aromatic, I don’t have romantic feelings towards anyone, I don’t love anyone, I don’t know if could love anyone. I thought maybe something was wrong with me because I see how you and mami are and I don’t feel that way with anyone.”

Maria was talking fast, Alejandro could barely keep up with her words

“Amor, please, I think I understand.”

“Really?”

“Poco (little).”

❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥

Gaz

Your son Kai was changing his look

Kai was becoming non-binary

Using They Them pronouns

Their mother accepts them

But what about their dad?

They were always worried about their dad. Their dad was a Sergeant and was nervous

Gaz has been picking up on his son’s appearance and how sometimes his wife will use they them pronouns when talking about his son

It does catch him off guard a bit and wants to know what’s going on

“Hey K, could I come in?”

“Yeah dad.”

“What’s going on?”

“What do you mean?” Kai asked a bit concerned

“Your mom…she keeps saying they a lot when she is talking about you…is everything okay?”

Your son swallowed a lump in his throat

Gaz looks around the bedroom seeing how it changed from the last time he’s seen. Sure they live in the same house together but he never came into Kai’s room because he never needed anything from Kai

“What’s that?” Gaz notices a flag on his son’s wall

Kai turns seeing he was asking about the non-binary flag.

“Dad…I’m non-binary.”

“What does that mean?”

“I use they, them pronouns, I haven’t changed that much, I’m still Kai. I just don’t believe I have a certain gender.”

“But you’re a-“

“A boy? Sometimes I don’t feel like one and I don’t feel feminine either…so I don’t identify with anything or anyone. So I don’t have a gender. I know it may be a bit confusing.”

“No, I think I get it. You just don’t identify as a boy or girl. You use they them pronouns. I get it, I’ll try my best to respect everything.”

“Thanks dad.”

Can we see another prank was where the reader does the towel prank on gavi

Surprise!

Let's bring back those prank wars ;))

You came out of the bathroom with the towel around your body (and a swimsuit underneath which Pablo didn't know) walking past him on the bed and towards the closet to pull out some clothes.

"It's gonna be hot today, amor. We could go to the beach if you'd like??" Pablo said while scrolling on tiktok (that being his favorite thing to do whenever he was bored at home lol).

You smirked fixing the towel so that he can't see the swimsuit before getting out of the closet and placing your clothes on the chair before setting up your phone on the makeup vanity.

"Yeah, we could do that and have some of the chocolate ice cream from the freezer??" you said really craving it and he chuckled nodding his head.

When he saw that you were putting your phone and turning on the camera, he turned off his tiktok and looked at you with furrowed eyebrows.

"Amor, what are you doing?" he said cocking his head to the side trying to understand what the hell you were trying to do pose with a towel in front of the phone screen.

"I wanna film that get ready with me where you drop the towel and then transition to your outfit" you said smartly earning a chuckle form him.

"Your not filming that!" he said jumping to his feet and snaking his arms protectively around your waist from the back pulling you further into him while kissing your shoulder.

"Why?? It's such a cool video Pablo!" you whine and he shakes his head disapprovingly still.

"Because! What if camera catches you naked!? I should be the only one to see you like that! Not half the planet!" he snarled and you rolled your eyes saying you will get the timing right.

"Amor, absolutamente no! Tu estas mía!" he said trying to take your phone but you grabbed it first pecking his lips and telling him to wait on the bed while you film this and then you can go get that ice cream.

"Pero.." but you shut him with a kiss and he rolls his eyes moving to the side but still close enough while watching you set the timer and get ready to film the video.

"3..2..1.." but just as you were about to let go of the towel, Pablo rushed in front of you to cover you up as you bursted out in laugher like a maniac.

"Estas loca!? You can't film yourself naked and post for the whole world cuando tienes novio! That would be the same as me whipping out Pablo Jr in the middle of the game!" he was talking while staring at the screen hoping it didn't catch anything not even looking to see why you were laughing. It was cute how whenever he gets frustrated he starts mixing his languages. And really Pablo Jr!?? Hahaha!

"Amor..." you said hoping he would realize that you weren't really naked but he kept his head turned.

"Don't amor me princesa..I don't want to hear it!" he said finally turning around only to shut up immediately when he saw you standing there in your black bikini with crossed arms.

"You..you are not naked??" he said and you laughed shaking your head while his hands rested on your hips as he pulled you into a kiss.

"Of course I'm not tonto! This is only for your eyes cariño..you've been pranked!" you whisper into his ear while snaking your arms around his shoulders and he smirked nodding his head proudly.

"Nena buena..maybe you could drop that bikini for me then huh?" he smirked and you laughed as he carried and tossed you onto the bed hovering above you playfully.

"Did you really have to bring Pablo Jr into this amor??" you smirked feeling him through his shorts and he groaned nodding his head while starting to kiss down your neck...;))

Short but sweet! Hope you liked! I'm happy you guys like the prank wars cause they are super fun to write :)

TWST characters as different people i've seen at school

yes most of this is slander

Riddle: The kid who treated being line leader as though he had just been elected President of the United States of America

Ace: Would stand up in class and shout "FOR KOBE" and throw a piece of paper at the trash bin. Would completely miss.

Cater: Filming a fucking TikTok dance in the middle of the school hallway during class transitions. Fucking MOVE, i got places to be. (I walk directly though their tiktok and ruin it)

Trey: That kid who's birthday you know by heart and eagerly await every year because he brings in the BEST desserts. The good kush.

Deuce: Says the stupidest shit in class unironically. Other guys are confused as to how this makes him more endearing but girls fawn all over him.

Azul: Passes by his crush (Jamil) in the hallway and thinks blud will stop and fall madly in love with him at first sight and will declare his love to Azul and it'll be something straight out of a teen girl movie. It ends up playing out exactly like this video: https://www.tiktok.com/@irljigsaw/video/7232906141385215274?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

Floyd: Kid who only likes Chemistry because he's crazy excited about mixing chemicals and setting things on fire. Anything he makes in a lab he loudly comments on how badly he want's to take a bit fat slurp/bite out of it. (it's me i do this)

Jade: One of the mushroom core girlies. Wears mushroom jewelry, has mushrooms patterns on his clothes, draws them for art class, draws them on his notebooks and binders. It's almost obnoxious but he's forgiven by everyone because he's hot.

Leona: Literally doesn't give a shit about school. Shows up in pajama bottom's and takes the fattest nap right in the middle of Geometry.

Jack: The only nice guy on the football team, girls LUST for him ❤

Ruggie: The only class this kid liked was free and reduced lunch (real)

Kalim: Guy who refuses to eat school food. He's probably got the right idea, that nacho cheese sauce probably causes cancer. Brings the most banger lunches and makes people jealous. (Lunchables, the GOOD fruit gummies, chips, a cookie, and a Caprisun.)

Jamil: In classes where you're not allowed to eat, he's the kid who sits in the back and makes a 9 course Gordan Ramsay approved gourmet meal.

Idia: This was so easy this guy was the anime weebo who wore anime merch every day and sometimes even wore anime wigs to school. He won't admit it but he would Naruto run through the halls in middle school.

Ortho: The cute little innocent babey schnookums who the girls all doted on. Hurt him and you'll get jumped by every girl in the student body. Fuck around and find out type shit.

Vil: Bozo who would literally paint their nails in class and would be doing their eyeliner while the teacher was trying to explain mRNA.

Epel: YEEHAW REDNECK KID. you know who i mean. the one who wears a hat with the American flag on it every day and whenever the teacher tells them to take it off they go on a rant about how unpatriotic the teacher is.

Rook: The only kid who actually liked French class. Tries to rizz people up in the hallway and asks for their Snap but always fails. Maidenless behavior.

Malleus: The tall quiet emo kid who slumps in his chair on his phone, with the bottom resting on his belly. He looks like he's listening to edgy emo music but it's actually tooth rotting cheesy pop music

Lilia: The manic pixie dream girl who will spew the most wise sage advice when asked.

Sebek: Literally one of those girls who's attached to her boyfriend like a parasite. You cannot separate her. Overly loyal and won't stfu. Is like a mix between a golden retriever and a chihuahua.

Silver: I swear on my life he's one of the kids who's been adopted by his entire friendgroup. People love him he's just a likeable person. He makes a new friend and BOOM they've adopted him. You're my son now, boy.

--------

@heartscrypt i thought specifically of you while writing Azuls

anyways all of these are people i've known i've got irl sources for this. no i won't apologize for all the slander because it's funny.

wjats the best way to read your legacy chronologically?

Hellooo ✨ so I know it’s a little all over the place, but bare with me 🙏🏾🥺

My legacy started on tiktok and about 90% of it is there before I transitioned to tumblr. (Wish I stared on tumblr initially but you live and learn )

First, I’d start with this video, it’s the intro to my Briar Legacy and how my founders, Amina and Honey began their family.

After that, I would scroll down my page until you get to this video and just work your way up, as it has all the love and chaos of each Gen up until the birth of my Gen 6 heir, Adie Briar. (Sorry for lack of a playlist, apparently you have to hit a certain number of followers to unlock that feature. Another reason I don’t care for tiktok for storytelling 🥴)

After you’ve caught up to the last video, you can jump right into Missing Moments, which takes place about a year and a half before the beginning of Children of the Forest (which is my fantasy story surrounding my Gen 6 heir, Adie Briar who was born a witch)

Sidebar: my goal is just put all those videos on tumblr and arrange them easier access, just in case something ever happens to TikTok , it’s on my ever growing to-do list 😭😮‍💨

[doyozen]

[2:19 am]

“wanna bake a cake?”

it’s late, you’re tired, but your boyfriend being a nightowl has slowly caused you slip into the habit of staying up late.

you complained that you were tired all the time but couldn't possibly admit that you absolutely loved late nights with haechan.

a confused hum left your mouth as you turned your head from your phone, the quiet sound of whatever tiktok was playing repeated when you awaited for his response.

"i have cake batter in the cabinet," oh he's serious, you thought, "i'm craving cake. you can't say no, or i'll tell everyone you cheated on me."

"oh my go—if you keep telling people that, they're gonna start believing you."

he smirked because he and you both knew damn well neither of you would ever do such a thing, but he found it hilarious walked around yelling "y/n cheated on me!" you didn't find it quite as funny, so you couldn't say no.

the two of you stared at each other for a minute, the look of determination on his face never faltered and you were defeated. "fine."

he threw his arms up in excitement and you had to stop yourself from cooing at him. "cake time!"

he jumped out of bed quickly but you took your sweet time, your bare feet touching the cold floor since you felt you didn't have to be in anything but haechans t-shirt and boxers when you were at his place.

actually, he felt you didn't have to be in anything but his t-shirt and boxers.

he was already pulling the ingredients out when you finally stepped into the kitchen, silently mumbling the instructions to himself.

he huffed, giving up, and handed you the box before moving to the eggs. "here."

"you're not about to make me read these to you," you warned, "we're in this together, bitch."

"last time you baked something, there were eggshells in the shit—"

"sorry, am i not wifey material? i don't cook, or clean, am i not wife—”

"i don't cook, i don't clean," he interrupted, singing, "but let me tell you how i got this ring—”

"you're not cardi b, get going," you shushed.

that was what most of your relationship consisted of, interrupting each other because neither of you could stay focused for longer than a minute. hence why baking a cake was definitely the worst decision ever.

"okay, cutiepie," he agrees, pecking your cheek quickly, "we do need music, though. alexa play michael jackson."

haechans playlist began to shuffle through his favorite michael jackson songs as he poured flour into a bowl and you cracked the eggs, ensuring not to leave shells that time.

the two of you worked together in a rhythm and comfortable silence, just enjoying each others company while doing one of your favorite activities. he held these little moments so close to his heart, and so did you.

your boyfriend took a cake pan from the cabinets as you mixed the ingredients until it was smooth, him purposely bumping into your body with his hip in the process.

the alexa transitions from dirty diana to remember the time, and you instantly break out into a smile while haechan gasps dramatically, stopping what he was doing.

it was definitely your song, as it was the one playing the same night haechan asked you to be his lover.

the boy began to belt the lyrics to you, his voice oddly still beautiful even though he wasn’t necessarily trying to sound good. his eyes squeezed shut and scrunched his voice, his neck showing a vein from how passionately he sang and you couldn’t help the laughter falling from your lips.

his eyes shot open again and he stopped when he realized you weren’t singing. “um, last time i checked this was a duet, don’t disappoint our fans.” he sassed, pointing to the invisible crowd in your kitchen.

and even though you were probably the worst singer anyone would ever hear, you took the wooden spoon from haechans hand to use as a microphone and belted the words out with him.

haechan couldn’t keep his composure and laughed in between notes at your screeched attempt at singing, finding it both adorable and hilarious.

his hands fell into yours and he pulled you into his body, wrapping his own around yours and swayed you back and forth while humming the beat. you went quiet, admiring the atmosphere between the two of you with your favorite song playing and most gorgeous boy you'll ever know in front of you.

"you're so bad at singing," he says suddenly, earning him a glare, "but i love you."

"you insult me and sweet talk me in the exact same sentence."

"what kind of boyfriend would i be if i didn't?"

"a good one, maybe?" you teased, haechans jaw dropping, giving you a view of his perfect teeth and you laughed at your own response.

"hilarious," he sneered, but secretly very amused by your humor.

you hummed and turned your gaze to the cake batter you'd just mixed, taking the whisk out of it and gathering enough of the batter onto it. "try it."

the other didn't hesitate to poke his tongue out and swipe some of the batter off. "mm, salmonella. it's actually really good, though. i could open a bakery."

"haechan, we made this out of ingredients from a box—”

"but if i told people i made it from scratch... they'd believe me."

you pursed your lips and shook your head, "no they wouldn't."

"marks dumbass would."

you laughed again and a smile fell onto haechans face when he was able to make you laugh before pressing his lips onto yours. the song was far over at that point, the cake long gone from your minds as your eyes fluttered shut and became immersed in each other.

you did end up going back to it later on, haechan joked that no kiss from you would distract him from decorating that cake like his life depended on it, even though you were the on that had to pry yourself from his grip.

the cake ended up being entirely burnt on the bottom but somehow still had unbaked batter in the middle. you expected nothing less but allowed your boyfriend to live out his creative side by decorating it.

the final touches were your initials together, huge and in center of the cake for you to see.

"wow," you gasped, "this looks so professional!"

and then a handful of cake flew into your face. dating lee haechan was the equivalent to raising a 5 year old, but he made you feel so loved that it was truly impossible to complain.

1. Not really....? It's hard to figure out my actual thoughts on it but I guess, Self-inserting for me feels like it's designed for one person in mind (whoever is being inserted) when x reader can be anyone? And from what I've seen, the content is a bit different.

2. Probably? Definitely. But will I be the person criticizing it? No... I'm not really the type to be vocal about my grievances outside of the occasional personal aside. I usually just don't trust what I have to say is constructive. But I do love hearing what other people have to say.

3. Everything

Jkjk, um.... I'd say my motivation and writing style? (That doesn't fall under everything, right?) I just don't write very effectively. Like- I have a story in my head, but actually putting it down in writing, I kinda just wing it? Like write as I go. Which is fun for developing character lore, or short stories. It leads to a lot of stop and go with longer works, and the problem with that is that it looks clunky! If I'm an a completely different state of my mind than I was when I started a piece the words I put down don't really flow well with what came before. So I have to read and reread what's already been written and play mediator by finding a way to transition from one feeling to the next.

I mostly write for friends or for fun, though, so it's forgivable.

the content being different for self-inserting vs x reader is such an important distinction!! like. also in how you engage with it, too? like—i’m always interested in self-shippy stuff from a, best friend at brunch kinda way, you know? like “YESSSS tell me more, omg, you guys are sooo cute together 🥹” whereas if someone is like, bits&pieceing about an idea for a x reader setup, i’m engaging with it as a reader, like, oh, i am interested in whatever this this piece or fic is trying to lure us in with.

i keep running into i guess… fan-only spaces, for varying Big Fics? and they’re always so interesting to scroll through, because it’s just either people gushing about Said Fic, or like, recommending similar ones, OR it’s someone starting a conversation (a tiktok is the example i’m thinking of) being like, “deku wouldn’t wear fishnets” and then like, everyone who’s had similar grievances just like, jumping in LOL. none of it—the universal loving and the dismissal—is like.. in any way truly critical? it’s just people who’ve found each other agreeing over varying things. true constructive criticism (at least in fanfics) is hard… because you do have to seperate yourself from, “is this just not for me” vs. “i see and understand where this story is trying to land, but i don’t think it makes it” and even then you kinda have to… justify it, you know? like, is it not landing because it’s missed the mark, or do you just wish it did something different? and what i like about fanfic is that we (ideally) afford each other the—generosity of forgiving things, LOL. and i guesssss my original question is more… does becoming a mega, fandom-defining fic mean the fic then loses the privilege of that generosity? i think it must create a distance between it and the fandom it’s from, in a way… it sort of takes on the same… almost for-granted quality we might have with a published book? are we removing ourselves from it, by holding it up? HMMM. questions questions ig LOL.

with no. 3—flow is hard!!! 🥺 do you have any like, rituals or anything to get yourself back into the mindset you had, before picking up the piece again? if i leave off in the middle of a scene or whatever that needs to stick to a specific mood i listen to my playlist for the fic, or whatever. 🥹 it kinda helps to limber everything back up again. but—i mean!!! as long as you have fun with it, in the end. 🥺 the process of writing takes up so much time… we need to enjoy it, in some small way. especially if the end result is for friends and fun. 🥹

Whatever the Fuck This Is Podcast 

Season 1 | Episode 2

MIGRANT PARENTS! GREG HEFFLEY'S OLDER BROTHER! AND TWINK VIBES!

"You don't have daddy issues, but you're obsessed with older men. You're sick," Siren doesn't realize that they were now rolling as she was looking at an edit on TikTok of Billie and her exes that transitions to their drunk Las Vegas chapel wedding pictures. 

"You don't have a mom, but you're obsessed with moaning mommy. You're sick," Billie shot back, following the rhyming, not looking up from her phone as she was placing in everyone's Chipotle order she was surprising them with.

"Can you guys go one day without being mean to each other?" Claudia asks from behind the camera since she was appointed cameraman.

"No."

"When are we starting?" Siren finally looks up from her phone to see the red light was on, meaning they had started filming. "You're a bad cameraman," Siren turns to Claudia Sulewski, Finneas, Billie's older brother's girlfriend.

"No, I'm not!" Claudia exclaims. "I literally did the countdown Rodrick does all the time."

"Welcome to another episode of Whatever the Fuck This Is, I'm your host Billie Eilish and this is my co-host...." Billie was met with silence as Siren was looking her up and down weirdly. "What?" She turns her head to her wife.

"Why the fuck are you talking like that?"

"I can never do anything right, can I?"

"I mean you can...but why are you talking like you're hosting some MTV reunion show?"

"You like watching MTV reunion shows."

"Yeah, for the drama, not the host, who doesn't even ask the right type of questions," Siren rolls her eyes. "And it's mydadsapornstar," Siren introduces herself.

"I can't believe you still introduce yourself like that," Billie smiles. "And how come your label let you keep your username and I was forced to change mine?"

"My label is literally sitting right there high out of his mind," Siren points back to Rodrick who was currently sitting to her right, spacing in and out from the edible he stole from Siren when she wasn't looking. "You ate my edible, didn't you?"

"Yup," He gave a goofy smile, nodding his head.

"Good, you don't need an edible," Billie chimes in.

"Bitch, shut the fuck up! You literally come with me to buy my weed pens and edibles all the time, so you can pick which flavor."

"It's fun," she cheekily smiles, shrugging her shoulders then goes on to brush a piece of her hair behind her ear.

"Anyway, this is Rodrick."

"Sup."

"So for some reason, everybody wants to know how we met," Siren looks at the older male in front of her.

"And how you became Siren's best friend," Billie adds.

"He's not my best friend."

"I'm literally your best friend. We do everything together."

"That's just because no one else is dumb enough to do the things I want to do with me."

"It just sounds like I'm bestie material. Just admit it."

"You literally only hang out with Rodrick and your brother," Billie chimes in from her position of sitting to the left of me.

"That doesn't make us best friends," Siren shook her head.

"You're right. We're partners in crime," He pulls the girl who hates being touched into a tight squeeze.

"Get the fuck off me," Personality #2 comes out of the vessel. "Now."

"Personality 2, you know you love this."

"Personality #2 might not show it to her fans, but my fans know that she's a cuddly bear," Billie smirks, joining the hug, as a picture of Personality #2 and Billie cuddling appears.

"Aww, Siren never gives me a hug, I have to join," Claudia jumps up from her seat and joins the group hug that was starting to make Siren itch out of discomfort. "This feels nice."

"Get the fuck off of me before I kill all of you in your sleep and then trap your spirits in a spirit box and place it next to Annabelle's," A threat flawlessly flew out of the girl's mouth.

"And I'm done," Rodrick was first to break away from the hug, followed by Claudia and then Billie, who snuck in a kiss on the lips.

"Here's how we met," Siren looked back to the camera.

~~~

S I R E N ....

"Alright, grown men I don't know!" I announced, barging into Finneas's room with Travis trailing behind me. "Here's the signed contract." I threw the stack of papers onto Finneas's lap before heading straight to Billie and sitting on her lap.

"One, rude," Finneas said, hitting me on the head with the stack of papers before passing them to a guy I'd never seen before in my life. "Two, this is the owner of ACID Records...the label signing you."

"Where?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Right there." Finneas pointed to the dark-haired boy sitting to his right on the bed. Side note: that's one thing that weirds me out about Finneas. Why are you letting people you don't even know sit on your bed...in outside clothes? For that matter, why are we in your room and not in the living room? Or my house?

"Are they behind the college dropout?" I tilted my head. There was no way this person was the one I signed my soul to. No, I didn't actually sign my soul to the label... just a metaphor.

"I can't be a dropout if I didn't go," the mystery person said. "Plus, if anything, you look like you dropped out of high school."

"What's wrong with dropping out of high school?"

"It's just more socially acceptable to drop out of college than high school."

"Not if you have migrant parents."

"You have migrant parents?"

"No, I was just saying it's not accepted if you have migrant parents."

"Yeah, they're the worst."

"Yeah... totally the worst... besides, you know," I shrugged my shoulders. "Leaving their home country to come to America for a better life, wanting their kids to soak up the opportunities they didn't have."

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

~~~~

“What’s crazy is that you guys still talk like that,” Billie cuts off her wife, who was in the midst of storytelling. “Like every time I listen to you guys have a conversation, I get secondhand awkwardness because dry humor is the foundation of you guys’ friendship.”

“Every time we listen to you and Alex or Zoe’s conversation, we cringe,” Rodrick counters.

“See, I didn’t even say anything this time,” Siren smirks at Billie, who rolls her eyes. “But honestly, Rodrick is my best friend. I’m a person where energy matters, and if ours don’t align, I can’t be around you, or I will literally plan your murder in my head. With Rodrick, his energy was just receptive to mine.”

“Yeah,” Rodrick nods his head in agreement. “I’m literally the boy version of you... you know, besides the whole multiple personality thing.”

“And the gay thing,” Siren adds. “Unless...” She leaves a pause for suggestive thoughts.

“I’m not fucking gay.”

“But like on a scale from one to ten, how fucking gay are you?” Siren looks at her best friend.

“What are we labeling one and ten?”

“One being not gay at all, and ten being I’m ready to die for the dick,” Billie leans in, curious about his answer.

“Maybe like a four... or five,” Rodrick takes a little time to answer, shrugging his shoulders.

“So like you’re curious?” Billie raises an eyebrow.

“More like if I was approached with the opportunity, I would take it.”

“You give off twink vibes,” Siren says randomly, looking her best friend’s appearance up and down.

“Before this gets offensive, Sean Cody twink or Barely Legal twink?” Rodrick asks out of curiosity.

“Definitely Sean Cody,” Siren answers. “But if we are talking Twitter porn, you would be in the emo OnlyFans category as a top fucking a twink.”

“You thought about this before?” Billie questions, noticing how fast the answer came out of her wife’s mouth.

“We talk about Rodrick’s gayness every time we smoke out in the back.”

“It’s just something about getting high outside with a breeze at night, looking at the view, that makes you question everything in your life.”

“To all the therapist out there fuck you, we know it’s unhealthy,” Siren points to the camera. “ But, the only time Rodrick and I ever talk about our feelings is when we’re high.”

“Wait, you don’t willingly talk about your feelings with me, but you will with Rodrick?” Billie gasps in disbelief.

“It’s honestly different, and we will get to it next episode,” Siren waves it off, knowing that this particular discussion needed to be separated from this video because of how Billie might react and because Siren wanted Maggie there as someone who will be able to rehabilitate before, during, and after the conversation. “Let’s get back to the storytime.”

~~~~

S I R E N ....

"So what is ACID Records?" Travis chimed in, rolling his eyes, stopping this awkward monotone conversation from continuing.

"ACID Records is the label that puts out music the audience would want to listen to while on acid," the guy smiled brightly at us.

"The fuck?" Travis and I said in sync. What kind of concept for a label is that? Music people would want to listen to while on acid... wait... I kinda like it.

"Just hear me out," he said, revealing his entire outfit to me. Standing right in front of me was a 6'3" lanky white dude with dark hair, wearing a black unbuttoned blazer over an NWA graphic tee, black and white basketball shorts, blue and black long-patterned socks, and black and white Converse. "Do you remember when Wu-Tang came out?"

"No," we shook our heads.

"We weren't born yet," I informed him.

"Neither was I!" He shook his head with wide eyes. Huh? "But I remember watching an old MTV clip where they bum-rushed the stage and performed. The way the fans reacted was crazy. Or when DMX performed at Woodstock and had a whole field of people singing along."

"Where is this going?" Travis gave him a serious stare. My brother can be nonchalantly intimidating... like, all the time.

"My point is, fans, music listeners, concert, and festival-goers don't do that anymore to that extreme, besides for Travis Scott and Kanye," he half answered before taking a dramatic pause. "...And you. I was at the skatepark on Melrose, and someone played 'Goosebumps,' and it was like... it was like... it was like being on acid and shrooms mixed together. Everyone stopped what they were doing and rushed to the middle of the bowl, shouting the lyrics from the top of their lungs, mosh pits forming, boards breaking." He rambled on some more, but I'm going to stop here to save you from his lunatic-sounding rant.

"So what do you want from Siren?" Travis asked once the lanky boy in front of us stopped and took a breather. He looked from my brother to me and stepped closer, placing his hands on my shoulders. I really hate being touched by people I don't know.

"Siren, I want you to make them feel like they are taking every fucking drug they can get their hands on and leave them fiending for more," he dramatically whispered, heaving in my close proximity.

"Uh... what's your name?" I asked him.

"Rodrick."

"Well, Rodrick... get the fuck off me," I pushed him back with one hand, to which he quickly complied. "What do you think?" I turned to Travis.

"Facciamolo," he said before walking out the door.

"Uh, wha-what does that mean?" Rodrick looked to me for an answer.

"It means," I stood up from Billie's lap and stood in front of the owner of ACID Records, "let's leave them fiending for more."

"Yes!" He began to jump up and down.

"Please stop."

"Right," he coughed, trying to cover up the obvious embarrassment. "When should we start?"

"The album's done," I pointed to Finneas, who held up the hard drive containing the ten songs.

"Well, what is it called?" Rodrick looked strung out in anticipation.

"Purge."

~~~

“And that’s how we met,” Siren concludes her storytime. 

“I don’t say it much, but I’m really glad I met you because if it wasn’t for you, I think I would’ve been severely depressed with an accounting degree doing what my parents wanted me to do and not what younger me wanted to do before my mom died,” Travis, his brain fogged up from the edible, starts to share his deepest feelings towards his best friend. “I get so many questions like why ACID Records doesn’t have other artists besides you, and the answer is real simple. ACID Records was literally not a label; it was in its testing phase. And when I signed you, it became something bigger than what it was actually supposed to be. I don’t sign any other artists because I’ve become real protective over it because ACID Records is OUR thing…”

“Aww,” Billie lets out.

“Pirate, don’t ruin the mood,” Rodrick shuts her down.

“Well damn,” she scoffs.

“Anyways, like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted,” he side-eyes Billie. “I don’t want to sign other artists if their vision or aura doesn’t match what we built from scratch.”

“I think that’s why I also stayed strictly with ACID Records,” Siren speaks up after Rodrick finishes. “Many artists are signed to different record labels or they change labels. But I always stuck with ACID Records because it wasn’t a physical place or thing, but more like a bond…and when we actually started to get along, teenage me didn’t feel alone anymore because at that time I literally didn’t have friends. Friendship-wise, all I ever had before you was my brother and Billie. Unlike Billie, I didn’t do other activities to make friends. I would literally walk over  for schooling, and then when it was time for her to go to dance, I would lock myself in my room and just draw anime scenes of this alternative life where I had a friend and we would do these cool things all over the world.  And yesterday, somehow I found them and was just like, 'me and best friend literally did all of this'. So thank you, Rodrick, for being my best friend.”

“Thank you for being my best friend, Siren.”

“That was cute,” Billie smiles before turning to the camera. “Unfortunately, that is it for today’s podcast. Any last words?”

“You guys should do funny recaps,” Claudia speaks up from behind the camera.

“Ooh, we should,” Billie agrees. “You can do them, next episode.”

“Not me becoming a permanent cast member of the podcast,” Claudia geeks out. 

“Yeah, our podcast viewers will see you more than your own YouTube channel viewers,” Siren comments on Claudia’s inconsistency in posting on her YouTube channel when she whines about how she wants to upload more.

“Foul.”

“Anyways, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe,” Billie smiles.

“And we'll see you next week with another ‘Whatever the Fuck This Is Podcast'.”

[ctrl-alt-vibeshift]

i will die for my country twitter

i've traveled through many different social media lands in my time on the internet, and my netizenship has lasted almost as long as my citizenship offline. i got an instagram account behind my parent's back in the early days before it was purchased by facebook, i lived through the rise and fall of vine in middle school, and witnessed tiktok subsume musical.ly in high school. none of these changes in power, re-drawing of borders, annexations, or flag design overhauls have hit me as hard as the recent twitter coup.

as someone who often touts that i was raised on stan twitter, i haven't been dealing with the rebranding of twitter very well. i've been stuck in the first stage of grief (denial) ever since he-who-musk-not-be-named first announced that xtraordinarly terrible new name and logo. twitter was where i found my place online, where i could meet and become online friends with people just as parasocially attached to my latest obsession as i was. i first joined for the norwegian teen drama SKAM, which i actually found out about here on tumblr. once the series wrapped i gradually shifted to devoting my page to troye sivan and connor franta, before a complete descent into the gloriously hellish world of k-pop stan twitter.

regardless of whose face my profile picture was, i always had twitter to turn to when my socializing needs couldn't be met in my little suburban town where i was always one of the few resident stans of [insert past obsession here]. it largely influenced how i interact with people to this day, both on and offline, as well as my sense of humor, my politics, my music taste, my way of speaking, my aesthetic sensibilities, my viewing habits, my identity, etc. while i've informally revoked my stantwittership since late 2020, i still actively use a "personal" account to tweet about whatever i feel like, although i often fall back into reacting to and commenting on the k-pop and other culture happenings i do still keep up with, and if you scroll through my profile quickly my account could be mistaken for a stan one.

twitter is where i've met many oomfs over the years, some I still keep in touch with solely online, others have transitioned into oomirls. it's been somewhat of a home to me, at least to the digital persona that embodied everything i couldn't in my real one. it still had that feeling after that musky fellow initially took over, although some of my more impassioned countrymen immediately cut all ties with the platform, becoming refugees harbored by other social networks and encouraging others to jump ship with them in foreboding final tweets. nevertheless i've persisted, disappointed but not surprised at the monetization of twitter blue and verification checkmarks, unaffected by the changes in moderation and community guidelines. it wasn't until july 2023, when the rebrand was first announced, that my faith in my homeland began to waver.

i've refused to update to that dreary new version of the site, with its grim and cheaply assembled app icon. i will hold onto my little blue bird as long as i can, even if it means being shot out of the sky with it. i've turned off auto updates and have hastily canceled the download on the few occasions where i've accidentally tapped "update" on it while installing others. fortunately, the app still functions for me without issue, although subtle changes have implemented themselves regardless, like my notifications tab now reading "[user] liked your post" instead of "tweet." recently, i've been unable to look at quote tweets on tweets, but can still view individual ones in my feed. i'll continue living like this until the app is rendered functionless without updating, a day i pray never comes.

i wince in pain every time i see "X" written in place of twitter now, although i'm slightly relieved that it is typically followed by "formerly known as twitter" in parentheses. i can't imagine calling stan twitter "stan X," such a moniker sounds like telling someone to literally stan an artist or piece of media called "X," like exclaiming "stan LOONA!!" saying "i'm an X user" or "are you on X?" sounds like banter about the latest designer drug (or perhaps a colloquial shortening of ecstasy?) but let me stop myself before i write another essay solely about the preposterousness of using the 24th letter of the alphabet as your brand name.

i don't know what the future holds for twitter, and with each passing day i hold my breath when i tap my blue app icon with white bird graphic, a quickly disappearing relic of tweets past. i now feel like i'm the member of a stateless nation, joining the likes of the kurds and their longing for a kurdistan. while my flag no longer flies, i remain a reluctant patriot, holding fast on stolen land. you'll have to force me off my lot before i rise for the pledge of xllegiance.

[paperlovesadness]

In regards to Wet Leg, I think the TikTok aspect of it is really kicking. They're ~cool and edgy and sexual and out there and just so fucking *trendy* that it seems almost fake to me. Kinda like Måneskin (who used to be cooler I must admit but now is just another act in the back of the line...)

The very ~edgy cool quotable sexual innuendo easy to memorize~ lyrics do a lot of work too, I think (which, to me, seem so fucking cringe and immature and like, uninspired???)

And the fact that POP-DEITY and all around easy to digest and ~relevant and queer and catering to the right audiences Harry Styles endorsed them so heavily? And the continuous repeated mention of other celebs who love them like Elton John, Dave Grohl and Florence Welch, it's like they're just being pushed super hard in the industry. It seems so rehearsed and put-on. Like a spiel someone has been paid off to say every fucking time.

The Brits themselves must have been eager to have someone young, female and trendy to push forward to stay woke and up to date after the controversy.

Also, the fact that they copied Alex's speech at the Brits, but she hadn't even memorized it? She needed to look at her phone and it seemed so odd? Like why??? And then she stopped? Why begin and not follow through and commit to the bit? Like what was the point? She was trying to say how its amazing to have more women in rock and she chose to quote a speech made by a man dripping with sarcasm who doesn't care about being there?? And then she proclaimed how much it meant to them? Like?? Just, go with either one... She clearly had no fucking clue what he meant with that speech.

Ooh, you've made some really good & interesting points! (Thank you for joining the conversation!)

The more I think about it the more I agree that the 'tiktok potential' aspect may be a huge factor in this.

I saw someone on Twitter use the phrase "fast fashion but in music" - and I think that kind of nails it? There's always been musical trends but now like with everything they're coming and going so much faster than ever before. And with tiktok being able to make a song trend and bring the artist millions of views & streams it's no wonder the industry will gear towards that to get some easy income in. Especially when the songs that do best are literally the most basic easy-to-compose tunes one can think of.

I'm not even very up to date with these things. But I can see some patterns. Like make up a song that's simple, relatable - and like you're saying edgy and (*gasp!*) sexual + very rhythmic (good for edits and jump cuts/transitions) & you've got a potential hit.

"ABCDE-FU" type of shit. Or yeah- some of the new Måneskin songs too. Like BLA BLA BLA and Kool Kids (which were the only two actually unbearable songs on the album to me - but then in shock I found out that they're up in the top of their young fans' favorites)

(I do also agree - I was very much a fan of Måneskin and their previous two albums. They kind of lost that originality though with most ot the tracks on this one. Very much going the fast-fashion-music direction unfortunately)

Harry Styles' support being a big reason also just came to me yesterday as an idea - glad to see someone also thinks this could be a factor. His music isn't my thing - but I can respect it and even say some of the songs I have heard are good. But he's got a crazily dedicated fan base to the point that I believe they'd love and support anything he ever said he liked.

It's exactly the fact that next to them suddenly getting all these awards they've also been getting so much acknowledgement from fellow musicians who make completely different music that made me want to understand. I just feel like I'm missing something here!

Because I can understand getting the little songs stuck in your head or enjoying bopping around to them. But how does that type of song get you "best new discovery" awards & recognition from people like Elton/Dave/Florence???

The point you made about Brits possibly clinging to them as their hip-trendy and female representation is am interesting one too! Quite possible with the scandal they had.

And yeah... That speech... honestly didn't know what to think about it at first. Except how it was almost physically painful watching the awkwardness. It could've been a good idea to do if it had literally and thought and aim behind it. Like is they felt the same way about award shows and the way the industry works as Alex/AM does. They obviously don't though.

If it was meant to be a cheeky little joke-reference then it should've just been that first line (I'd appreciate it that way!). When she continued with it I stopped in my tracks and thought she'll do the full thing as maybe some deeper commentary/statement. But then she cut it off randomly... Strange.

And you're right it did also actually kind of contradict some of the things they added later?

Overall - I've got some ideas but still don't feel much closer to solving this mystery.

But very grateful for what you added! I think we've got a similar view on these things.

Have a great day anon! 🤍

like letting what kind of things slide ? /gen

Honestly I may have jumped the gun a little without fleshing out the thought, cause it is mostly all on social media I dont even use :/ I only use tumblr and what I see on tiktok twitter etc is on other people's phones with like, algorithms that I dont even understand. On them I've seen a lot of butch/femme crap that like... truthfully just mirrors bad cishet bullcrap (that people either roll their eyes at or write essays about how awful it is) and also thoughtless sex essentialist language related to sex and their femmes and I'm like. Man if a trans guy was talking about sex with a girl like that, he would be guilty of the male gaze and being a bit of an a-hole pervert and crap. (Which is a trans experience of being both over and de sexualized coming into it but aside from that) But butches do it and its received as cute in a kind of like 'queering the rigid gender roles of our grandparents time' fashion that definitely does not extend to a lot of bisexual m/f or to trans guys that arent the submissive breedable catboy with a shag haircut wojak meme. Trans people who are hetero are usually ignored and if not its it's always twisted, like trans guys are a hetero punching bag type like bi people are when ur comes to 'the manipulative men' of the queer community. Trans women too, especially if they are early in transition.

So one example I keep thinking of like over and over is a video I saw on a friends feed (?) A few weeks ago of an attractive butch saying with a smile that she doesnt feel like she has to 'give' shiy in her sexual relationship unless her femme does what boils to essentially 50s housewife crap all day. If a trans guy said he only wants to eat out his gf after she gets the makeup and heels on and does the house crap with a chuckle at the end I close my eyes and just see that he'd be called a manipulative abuser toxic masculinity obsessed loser... or I guess today he'd be diagnosed as a narcissist first. but for some reason it's like butch lesbians saying some off stuff like that it's viewed in such an infantile patronizing way even when it does start to feel genuinely not respectful to the femme or gf. Like regardless I dont care if that's what a couple does, but the response difference is hard for me to ignore.

But I also feel like I'm making shit up because of my past, given I lived with so much of the scum of the lesbian community. Like it's not their fault my grandma and her friends are lesbian separatists who told me about how many trans people and bihets and drug addicts they refused help to during the aids crisis lol.. so I'm trying not to let that be my hammer cause I'm smart enough to know usually when shit's not a nail

wechat’s fake tiktok function is the most mystical magical thing ever. i will recap my mystical magical experience.

someone took a whole video of that recent bsd exhibit when you weren’t supposed to…. it looked cool tho tbh so….

i saw an edit with Naomi, Yosano, and Kyouka, and figured, “yeah, okay, the bsd girls” then BOOM 15 Chuuya jump scare.

Akutagawa has 158 videos with his name tagged in them.. Dazai has 1.6k.

Atsushi is added into a compilation of white-haired dilfs. i’m sorry, Atsushi. you just aged a few years.

a magician uses a deck of cards to do a cool magic trick except all of the cards have Atsushi’s face on it and it’s just different Atsushi official art.

a video of someone throwing a chewed up sandal at their dog playfully when it transitions to a picture Kyouka cosplayer posing cutely.

a soukoku edit except then suddenly the rabbit and fox appear from zootopia and it turns into an edit of them instead.

a compilation of Dazai smirking. it’s nothing special, it was just quite attractive.

someone whose edit watermark is “that not everyone’s gonna be able to see that. don’t let me worry about it all the time.”

a girl that was 15 tops putting her voice over the, “so, watashi wa anata to shinjuu suru tame ni kyou made ikite kitto sou desu.” “Dazai.” “ahh~” audio

an edit of every single manga panel where a character has been “killed.” there are 17 comments and all of them are letting some form of distress be known and then spamming the wechat specific cry emoji.

a video mock tutorial titled, “how to beat Dazai.” first answer was “become Fyodor dostoyevsky and shoot him.” second answer, “don’t get anywhere near him in a black overcoat.” third, “have Chuuya or Kunikida beat him senseless.” fourth, “find rashoumon and have her chop off his head.” fifth, “turn him into chazuke and have Atsushi eat him.”

compilation of quotes that allegedly made the OP cry. i’ll put a few here

〝人活着是为了能为百己，得到救姨”

“人的强大，是为了同在悲惨深渊痛苦挣扎之人佛出援手而存在的！”

“每个人都在为了知晓正确的生存方式，而不停战斗。”

“为可而战？要如何活下去？没有人会告诉你答案。我们能有的只是迷茫。同着水沟的深处,漫石目的地奔走。就像满身泥泞的野犬一样.”

“清爽明朗且充满朝气地自条”

“不想失去的东西，总有一天还是会离你而去。人们湯求的一切存在价值的东西，从得到它的那一刻超就泣定有共去的一天，不惜延长痛苦人生也要去遥求的东西，一个都不存在”

now you know some infamous bsd quotes in chinese~~

i’ll leave it here, as there are way too many funny things to go over. just reading this post is certainly less attractive than watching the aforementioned videos yourself, but… there’s no sharing function for outside the app in wechat. lol.

Do you have an issue with detransitioned women or is it just the opposite-sex attracted ones who used to identify as "gay men"?

Lesbian detransitioners (and bisexual female detransitioners) I have less of an issue with because they seem to have a lot more self-awareness and the ability to acknowledge some of the shitty things they did in what once were LGB spaces. They are also more likely to acknowledge that women in their lives, in particular their mothers, alienated them from womanhood growing up.

With heterosexual female detransitioners, almost all of them play themselves up to be this absolute victim and that they just passively went through spaces (such as LGBT youth groups) just enduring "grooming." They don't acknowledge that it was other hetero girls validating their transitions, the role they played in alienating LGB youth from their own spaces, or having said or did anything that may have remotely indicated that the people around them were afraid not to give in. In the case of SaltyAlty, it's her inability to acknowledge how fucked up her mother is and how she puts all of the blame on the "LGBT".

sidenote: I also recently watched a couple TikTok's from a girl who's TiF cousin jumped in front of a train. Long story short, one of the fucked up things the TiF's mother did was strip her naked and start beating her in front of a mirror. Your child identifying as transgender isn't an excuse to sexually abuse her.

It has me riled up because I think one of the reasons why so many of these girls are transitioning, but which isn't socially appropriate for them to acknowledge, is that they don't want to be associated with their mothers. Biologically, their bodies are going to likely develop to look just like hers. They are facing a lifetime of staring in a mirror and seeing a woman they don't respect, who has done horrible shit to them but will never apologize, and who hasn't accomplished shit stare back at them.

Think Herzberg's Two-Factor theory with them. They aren't just motivated to go to X (the fetish of gay men) because then they would just be like every other fujoshi that doesn't transition; they are also motivated to go from Y (the fear of being their mother).

~~

Also, if you want an example of a gay male detransitioner I can't fucking stand, think that one "ex-trans, ex-gay" guy now living in Texas. Motherfucker would act foolish bringing Johns to the club, doing copious amounts of drugs, and causing havoc but wants to put all of that on gay men as a whole rather than look himself in the mirror and say "I did that." These types, and I've had one in my personal life before, never acknowledge the sheer number of gay men that refuse to return to the bars they frequent because of their behaviour.

So all in all, it's mostly that I have an issue with people who refuse to acknowledge their own behaviour or even the whole picture.

I had a dream where I drove a Land Rover and it had a little metal shelf in the back that had a door with a window on it and I could put my plants in there.

That dream transitioned into what I can only describe as a cross between Dune, the Fifth Element, and Silkie from the original Teen Titans and it was also a movie.

The cast was Emma, Olivia, and Harry from HotD. Anyway, in this place Olivia's character was blue and Emma and Harry's character were human and they didn't have enough money to understand certain things. But there was still dragons??? And anyway, this is where Silkie comes in. There are secretly huge ass Silkies that eat dragons and that's how the dragons went extinct. Silkie in this story is fucking huge, like Dune worm sized.

Eventually we jump to a cab where unfortunately Leonardo DiCaprio is in, I know it was my dream but I had no say in this casting and his Taxi driver was Malcolm Barrett from Preacher and the dude is just trying to mind his business, make his money, and not do anything illegal. But Leo's character is like "nah man, listen, you gotta listen to my story, just between us and I'll pay you to listen." So Malcolm listens but he thinks Leo is on some crazy spice.

Eventually Leo stfu because he's messing with this radio gadget and he hears bits of convo with Olivia and then switches and he hears the stuff he was saying and Malcolm is silent cause he's like "shit the government was listening. Shit."

Then we cut to a BtS with the cast and it's this random ass very well choreographed TikTok dance that Olivia and Harry know and it was actually pretty impressive.

Scene Queen - Hot Singles In Your Area

Contrary to what a lot of metal fans might tell you, the genre is still very much sexist and misogynistic, as well as very predatory and manipulative. There are loads of bands whose members have been outed as predators, abusers, and just all around gross dudes that shouldn’t have a platform (some of them still do). These guys really hate women, even if they don’t seem like it, but they also hate women that play metal. Well, not exactly, they don’t outright hate women that are in metal bands, but you’ll find a lot of metal fans, some women included, that won’t listen to bands with female members, or they’re somehow lesser than. People love certain bands, but a lot of newer ones are thrown to the wayside. Hell, even the powerhouse band Spiritbox has gotten a lot of flack in recent years, some of which being due to their sound having a more accessible sound, but their vocalist being a woman is part of it. What do metalheads hate even more than women in metal? They hate women in metal that call out the misogyny within the scene, let alone do it while making metalcore mixed with hyperpop and hip-hop (because metalheads typically hate popular music of any kind).

That’s where Scene Queen comes into play, especially with her debut album, Hot Singles In Your Area. Real name Hannah Collins, Scene Queen has gotten a lot of traction over the last few years, especially on TikTok, for her genre mash-ups that take metalcore with pop, electronic, and hip-hop, and her lyrics that range from hyper-sexual to being about the various ways men in the scene mistreat women. I can’t say I’ve ever listened to any of her music properly, or even looked forward to this record, but I thought I’d check it out for curiosity’s sake. Who knows, this thing could be really cool, and a lot of elitist metalheads are sure to be whining about it all weekend, because they can’t stop focusing on things they hate. I’ve given this album a few listens, and for this album being my proper introduction to Scene Queen’s music, I was both pleasantly surprised and kind of underwhelmed.

Scene Queen is, above anything else, ambitious, and that ambition is respectable, even if that means her ambition is at the expense of, well, good songwriting. Yeah, this album is pretty interesting, and for every really cool moment it has, there are some that are either really obnoxious or misguided. I’d say this album is good overall, but it’s got some stuff that’s either mediocre or pretty bad. For clarification, though, its lyrics and messages aren’t what I find bad. A lot of what Scene Queen has to say, whether it’s about misogyny in the alternative scene, or liberating and expressing herself sexually, but it’s the execution of the ambitious ideas she has. Her sound ranges from late 00s crabcore / metalcore to hyper-pop, hip-hop, pop, and crunkcore. It feels like a lot of Y2K styles thrown into a blender, which makes sense, because her aesthetic is rooted in that era.

Because of her music being influenced by that whole time, the most obnoxious and annoying qualities of music from that era rears its head. Do you miss Blood On The Dance Floor, Breathe Carolina, and The Medic Droid? Then you’ll love songs like “Stuck,” or “POV,” the latter of which featuring The Ready Set, for some reason. Those songs are incredibly obnoxious, but at least they stick to a genre the whole way through. Other songs only partially work, like the title track that’s both a generic 00s pop song and metalcore banger. The heavier stuff works quite well, but the transitions are so jarring. It’s even worse on “MILF,” which is a country-metal song that randomly jumps into breakdowns, but it doesn’t feel earned. A few tracks work relatively well, and they don’t feel as jarring, but this album has way too many ideas for its short runtime.

No matter how bad it gets, it’s not worst of the year bad, because there are some genuinely cool moments, and it’s also a memorable experience. There are some solid breakdowns and some enjoyable lyrics on the album, but it feels like Scene Queen had way too many ideas when working on this. It just sounds over ambitious, and despite being 36 minutes, it feels way too long sometimes. It’s an overstuffed album, for better or worse, but it’s worth hearing at least once. There are some genuine points she makes on the album, and there are a few catchy tunes, so hopefully this album serves as a stepping stone to something more cohesive and better. In terms of a debut, it’s fine, but it has some major issues that prevent me from really enjoying it.

Key Takeaways  "No, it's employees are not cheap. They're free. If you if you understand, please, they're free. But at the same time, it is a commitment. And I take it pretty serious when I hire somebody out because I don't want them to mess with their livelihood. They're planning meals and rents in daycare based on what I'm paying them. So I treat it with a lot of seriousness like I hate letting people go We really try not to do that. But you got to just jump in with your with your big toe, or your first person. They may or may not work out. Give yourself some grace. No enemies right to say hey, man, I suck at this. I'm sorry. I gotta let you go." - Brian

  "Because if you're driving 20 or 30 minutes to customers lawn for 40 bucks, you're gonna you're not making any money. If you're driving 20 3040 minutes to do somebody's five or $10,000 and landscaping job it's worth it you're making money. There's people literally go and do $50,000 jobs and they'll sleep in a hotel room to go finish that job before they come back. I mean, there's people that do million dollar jobs. So you have to find out the law of diminishing returns on a gradient and where does the scale tip so it's the most healthy and profitable for your business. Now sometimes you're going to do inconvenient things when you're getting a business off the ground. Like I said, throwing the mud at the wall to see what sticks. You're going to do a lot of inconvenient shit and drive all over the place and say yes to everything to generate as much activity in the business as possible. But then once you once you really get going then you can kind of cut the fat and narrow back down and be more choosy. You got to get in where you fit in is my favorite thing getting where you fit in." - Keith
