#i am a bamboozler stan

[artbysquid]

binged jimmy’s pov of wild life smp and this was all i could think about during session 3

[actualbird]

Saw your post about how you knew Luke was for you from the very beginning. I just had to say, I also really like Luke and knew he was my type from the beginning but when I told my sister, who absolutely wasn't into otome games at all and just listened to me gush about the couple I liked, heard me say, "This guy is my favorite. I don't know why. I just like him. I feel like he'll be my favorite." (Context my main favorite otome at the time was Mr Love: Queen's Choice and my favorite guys were Gavin and Kiro). My sister was like, "Of course you do. That dude looks like if Gavin and Kiro were fused together." And I felt absolutely called out. But, hilariously, my sister actually got super into it and knew Marius would be the guy she would like and so I would send her like images I would find of the game before it ever got the national release. I sent that one promo of like the Train event with Luke and Marius where Luke takes Rosa on like an African safari and for the life of me I can't remember where Marius takes Rosa even though I read the freaking card... Anyway, my sister's response to this was: "Aw... I didn't ship them until this moment." Which came absolutely out of no where because normally it takes her a while to like ship characters and I honestly didn't see it at the time. But then she wrote this cute little romantic story where the images were somehow connected and I slowly fell in love and she made me ship MariLuke. And now it's like one of my favorite ships and I still write stuff for it and my sister and I still write stuff for it. And we started shipping it back June 2021 before we even freaking knew the characters (beyond like bios and minor spoilers) which will never not be funny. Anyway, your posts bring me joy as a fellow Luke, Marius, and MariLuke lover. Thank you so much. <3

oh my gosh what a delightful ask, i love how ur a fellow "Luke Stan From The Beginning Of Time"-er and how ur sister ended up liking marius but most of all i am absolutely bamboozled because

you have me beat

me, broke: loving luke before global release

you, woke: SHIPPING MARILUKE BEFORE GLOBAL RELEASE

i bow down to you. i didnt start shipping mariluke until the Symphony Of The Night event HAHA. i wish you and your sister a happy and prosperous time creating marilukes!! yall have exquisite taste <3

[poohbea]

Oh I’ve def have seen a lot of things about Sylus either having another form or is a wanderer. I honestly haven’t played the game, but I’ve seen clips and game plays of it. It makes wonder if MC was someone really special to him, but they just don’t remember (I’ve seeing the amnesia trope or am I trippin?), but he def mafia coded and I’m here for it. Now I’m curious about your thoughts on Xavier 🤔

Also what are your thoughts of JJK ending soon and BNHA had ended?

Yessss, honestly i get most of my lore of tik tok, im not really that deep into it, but you know… your girl dabbles 😌. but you’re definitely not tripping though love and deep space is big on the amnesia trope and the reincarnation trope (one of my favourite tropes hehehe). i can’t wait for the next big update, i wonder where they’ll take the story, i ALSO wonder who the next love interest is gonna be. maybe it’s gonna finally be caleb hahaha or they might bamboozle us again 🤣.

but okay thoughts for xavier… i’ll be honest i didn’t think i’d like xavier when i first started the game, solely because he wasn’t my type (blonde, cutesy, blue eyes), i like em tall dark and handsome — or like sylus 😭. but the way i got WHIPLASH from xavier?? that boy next door thing came down and i’ll be so real it caught me off guard big time 😂. the duality?!?!? ugh, please give me streeeength. especially with the new card. fuck me, i lose my mind every time i watch it. his hands and the EYES and THE WAY HE’S A MASOCHIST HOLY SHIT. THE SECRET MASOCHIST PART HAD ME IN AN EARLY GRAVE. because WHAT DO YOU MEAN HARDER?!?! i’m so normal about him 🫠 hnnnnnn. he’s also the jealous type and i’m so mad that i missed that card where he’s like “who do you prefer? me? or lumiere?” i hope they do re-runs for them because lawwwwddd.

i’m not a BNHA stan buuut the fact that jjk is ending in 5 chaps is craaazy, i need to see the new leak cause i know nobara has miraculously returned after we all thought we was gone to meet God. i hope gege ends it off well, please for the love of all things good i hope he ends it good. me and a work colleague were theorising how it would go and mannn… i really wanna get more insight of sukuna’s life, will we get it in five chaps? i highly doubt it but we can dream 😭

[satangcrush]

HIII HYO SO I WOKE UP TO YOUR TAGS AND THEY ARE AJBAHAKSNAGAIAB

Here are my scrambled thoughts:

Absolutely!! Luke is loved in every universe <3

Even in a fic about Solomon, the Barbatos simp he took over the first part so I just had to include some extra barb content mwehehehee

I would like to address the difficulty of turning lyrics into dialogue while not altering them too much! like smh when I write it I have to concentrate on NOT reading it in a singing manner

And yes, Reader absolutely jumping on Solomon as soon as he's awake mhm

For a moment I was worried that the angst scene seems so abrupt since the first act is just a bit light-hearted minus the introduction. Which is why I added a (very small) breaker scene with Barbatos- to hopefully give reader a pause for what's about to happen next-

And yes. Purgatory hall. Did you know it was a last minute decision? Because I was gonna be using the names of the actual myth characters (not revealing who yet until someone guesses them) but my coffee-filled brain was like "hey what if I use Simeon and Raphael for extra angst points lol?"

I ended up bawling my eyes out at the first draft so I had to edit it. But it was night when I edited it and I don't really catch any grammar mistakes well at night 😭😭😭

So now when rewriting it, it was still hurting the heart yes, but not as... yeah. [A part of it was also a LOT more recalling of events from the Musical/the odyssey- but, I didn't want to overcomplicate the plot so bye bye]

And yes. Solomon is getting the major angst treatment hehe. So far I think he got the most creative of my prompts yet? Hmm.. we'll just see what comes next ;))

Thank god the next story is Mammon fluff.

And that's all for now!! And javskanahkana THANK YOU FOR SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! I have a lot more to stay but I am still in the early morning mode™ so well-

We'll just see later~

MORNING EDEN!!!! I am very cold this morning 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🫵

alsoooo!!!!! i went in completely blind for this read and got absolutely bamboozled by the fic 😰 (in a very good way) and seriously i re-read the introduction parts like 3 times because ure so unbelievably good at setting the scene 🫡 (also hope u liked the barb fic, ure my token barb stan)

but all in all, the story was really fun to read though i do wish i knew more of greek mythology or the musical since it would have provided for a better experience reading the fic for the first time 🙂‍↕️

also I can’t wait for the next story to be out again!! love u eden 🤗 and I hope u have a nice sunday lol

(me reading the last part of ur fic)

[tumblingxelian]

I am legit bamboozled by what this FRWBY stan was even implying, like it took me a legitimately long while to even feel I could make a confident guess-timation! If I had to make a deduction, I assume they are trying to say:

"If Yang starts weak and becomes strong it makes her more like a traditional Shounen protag who usually suck at the start but grow stronger. This is good because girls apparently aren't allowed to start shows weak and are always "Girl bosses" and over powered in media... I guess?!?!?!"

Where are the OP girl boss shows this guy is watching, I wanna watch them, I could use more for my tragically small collection!

Anyway this basically seems to be a mass of logical fallacies where in they ignore Jaune's nominal arc. Nominal cos his thing is un-learning that "I gotta be the best" bullshit. Along with some kinda incoherent idea that Yang had no arc even though she's been having ongoing development across the entire series.

Compounding the stupidity is what you already covered OP, that Beacon is a university and anyone getting in there is not just starting out and it'd make zero sense not only for Yang to be bad in general but be in complete opposition to her canon character given she is literally the only normal one there!

Ruby got pushed ahead, Weiss had her super elite sister train her & is rich, Blake was a terrorist who got in on scholarship. Of her team only Yang studied and trained to graduate the normal way. She's grounded in the shows own world and setting and her given background!

I wish these people would just admit they don't want RWBY, they don't want the characters, they don't want the story, they don't want the concept, on even their more base levels. Because when presenting what they think is "better" its always some bloody inversion and perversion of every character, theme and story beat.

Its just so stupid ><

Not to dig this up but a FRWBY stan claims that Yang wasn't "empowering" but that it would be the arc of a girl who goes from zero to hero. That it'd combat the "#girlboss BS" that keeps female characters from starting weak or being strong in other ways.

Their general wording, not mine.

My answer to that is that it's completely stupid.

Everyone who attends Beacon (with the exception of Jaune) has already gone through years of education and training.

Beacon is a UNIVERSITY. You're there because you're honing your abilities. You're already expected to be good at what you do.

The reference to "girl boss" as a negative tells me all I need to know. I'm absolutely certain they wouldn't be saying this about a male character.

[shinydixon]

“you trash talk grace and hellcheers on here. why can't we do it to them too?”

as if you don’t tell everyone to keep it civil regarding the drama that happens and welcome the non shitty hellcheer stans on your blog LMAOOO weird behavior.

I am bamboozled

I peeked into an anti steve group and their most recent argument was that "he exhausted sam during the morning run for his own amusement" and that is so funny to me because there are things about steve that you can genuinely critique but they choose that scene instead??? lmao.

Mabel: But we were performing a ritual to attract customers. And the only way the ritual can work is for us to get hurt. Real bad.

young one | 27

“I think we got one too many plants Joon,” you say, holding one pot in each arm, with a smaller one in between. You and Namjoon had finally went home after your plant date. The two of you standing in front of your front door. “We really just need one for each of us.”

Namjoon, with one extra plant in his hand shakes his head. “You can never have enough honestly. Plus, these are perfect! They’re low maintenance plants.”

“I guess… Well.. Can you open the door for me?” You motioned to your bag for him to get the keys when the doors suddenly shot open. 

“You’re back! Great!” Yuna yells, grabbing the plants from you.

“O-oh, okay..” you say, confused by her sudden motions.

“Byul your boyfriend is here!” Yuna yells behind her. As Byul came running to the door, Yuna handed her the plants. She then suddenly hooks her arms into yours and starts to pull you away from your house.

“Wait-- what? Where are we going?” You ask, stumbling down the hallways of your apartment building. 

“Have you eaten yet? Did Namjoon take you out to eat? You look hungry.” Yuna laughs as she stares at your confused state.

“No.. I have not and he did not and I am,” you answered with a laugh. “I honestly haven’t been gone that long for everyone to suddenly be so different. Like not really different, but just weird..”

“Well it’s a weird day,” she laughs. “Let’s go feed you, we have a long night ahead.”

-

Jungkook’s eyes widen as he sees you and Yuna running to her car. They had just gotten to the parking garage and Jungkook hoped so hard that you won’t recognize his car or your parent’s car. 

Yuna seemed to have noticed and she pulled you to her car faster. Jungkook couldn’t help but laugh at the face you were making.

“Look mom, that’s going to be my wife,” he says, pointing to you from the inside of his car. Admiration written all over his face.

-

“You know, I much rather us order food so we can all eat together at home while we wait for Jungkook,” you say as Yuna drives to who knows where. 

“Yeah, we could, but it could be a while until he gets home,” she says, making excuses. “Besides, I miss hanging with my bestie,” she pouts. 

You smile at her, “Aww you missed me?” She rolls her eyes.

“Duh.”

“Well I missed all of you,” you say. “Some a little more than others..”

“You two really can’t be separated huh?” she says. You quirk an eyebrow up at her.

“Me and Mingyu?” She laughs at your answer.

“I thought you were talking about Jungkook,” she laughs. “Not my son.”

“I’m kidding,” you laugh along with her. “Yeah, I guess we can’t. Well, for me at least. I can’t go long without him. I don’t know if he feels the same.”

“And why would you say that?” Yuna turns to you with a worried look.

“With our time gone, he never showed that he cared I guess? About me at least.. That I know of,” you answer. “Like right now, he knows me and Sian are back home while he’s out with his friends and he didn’t drop them to come to us the second he heard.” You caught Yuna smirk a little.

“What?” you laugh awkwardly. 

“Hm? I didn’t say anything..” she says, turning away from you.

“You just smirked,” you say, smiling. “I’m trying to pour my heart out here.”

“Well I can assure you that he’s SUPER happy that you’re here. Something probably happened that’s keeping him from coming home right away.”

“Like what?”

“Why don’t you call him Yn? You wanted to talk to him right? Everyone’s back at your house, just for tonight. Let’s spend that time having fun. Get what you have to say to him out now.”

“But I wanted to talk to him face to face..”

“Facetime exists?” 

You purse your lips, pulling out your phone.

Without hesitation, you clicked on Jungkook’s contact name and began calling him.

-

“SHE’S FACETIME CALLING ME,” Jungkook yells in a panic. He was sitting on the couch, with Sian cuddled into his side.

“AnsweR IT??” Taehyung says, looking at him as if he was dumb. Which was ironic, because he was sitting on the floor with all of his nieces putting makeup on him. With the over lined lips and blue eye shadow all over his eyebrows, you can’t say Jungkook’s the dumb looking one. 

“I’M SCARED,” Jungkook says, breathing heavily all of a sudden. 

“It’s just mommy,” Sian says, reaching for the phone.

“Jungkook go change out of your suit first! She’s going to wonder,” Sohyun yells, right when Sian answers the call.

“AH, SIAN!” Jungkook yells. Almost instantly, pushing him off and running to your room.

“Sian?” you say as the call was finally answered. “Is daddy home?”

“Yes! We’re waiting for you and auntie Yuna to come back, daddy came when you two left,” Sian admits. 

“Oh did he?”

“Yes! Mommy please come home!” he excitedly yells, “everyone’s here! Even gra--” Before Sian can finish his sentence and expose the plan, Jungkook takes the phone from him.

“Hey, sorry, was doing something,” he says, taking his phone to your shared room. “What’s up?”

Yuna looks over at your phone and smirks. 

“Nothing, I just wanted to talk to you,” you say. “I.. I missed you.. That’s all. I was hoping to meet you at home when we got back so we can talk, you know, to fix things, but you weren’t there. But somehow everyone was,” you laugh. “I just wanted to say.. That I want us to go back to how we used to be. I’m okay with your friends, maybe I could even join you guys sometimes.. I just don’t want you to forget about us because you’re so caught up with them. I don’t want you to lose them either since they’re good friends of yours and you lost them once--”

“Yn,” Jungkook interrupts. “A lot of things happened while you were away,” he says. You started to worry about what he was about to say next, but you nod for him to continue.

“I won’t be hanging out with the friends that drove you two away. It’s a long story, but my hyungs came when they were over.. And long story short, they thought the best things to ever happen in my life was a mistake and I highly disagree with them on that. They hated you and Sian, and I can’t be friends with people who won’t give you two a chance. So don’t worry, everything will go back to normal.. Somewhat,” he chuckles to himself. “Not really, but yeah.”

Yuna laughs beside you and you turn to her, scrunching your brows. 

“Anyways, a lot of things will change tonight,” he says. “I’m never letting you go again.”

“I love this so much,” Yuna says. You turn to her again.

“Why do I feel like something’s going on that everybody knows about but me?” you say, making the two laugh. “What else happened while I was gone?”

“I’ll tell you more later, just come home,” Jungkook says. “I missed you baby.”

-

*After getting food with Yuna*

“Shoot, I forgot something in the car,” Yuna says, stopping right at your front door. 

“What was it?” You ask, “I can go get it.” Yuna’s face lights up.

“Perfect! Here,” she hands you the keys to her car, “the drink in the cup holder, Jimin’s going to get upset if he thinks I forgot.”

“Okay, I’ll meet you inside. Here’s the keys.”

-

Holding Jimin’s drink in one hand, you reach out to turn the door knob. It was locked. You frown, leaning in to the door. Surprisingly, it was so quiet.

You ring the door bell anyways, waiting for someone to open the door for you. You were excited to reunite with everyone. You were finally complete. Especially your little family.

The door suddenly creaks open but you see no one behind it. 

“I got Jimin’s drink,” you called out, pushing the door open. 

“Hi mommy!” Sian yells up at you. Your face lights up at the sight of your baby. He was dressed up, holding a single tiger lily. “For you,” he says, holding up the flower. You reach out to grab it from him.

“Thank you baby, what for?” You ask, before he could answer, Moonji runs up to you and Sian runs off.

“For you auntie,” she says, handing you another tiger lily. You thought nothing much of it except the kids being sweet. Next thing you knew, Hana was running to you, then Huimang, then Youngjae, then Minseok, Soojin, even Haneul and Mingyu! 

“I’ll trade you this for that,” Jimin says, handing you another flower, whilst reaching for his drink. 

“What’s going on?” you ask him.

[iridescentides]

okay. hsmtmts episode 3 thoughts under the cut

YES i always start with gina, and what about it??? i would die for her. anyway im CRYING over how she thought her mom forgot about her like? youve been gone for like 2 months, literally what parent would stop caring that quick? she doesnt think she deserves love like literally most of the time and my heart is ACHING

i came into this episode knowing the chocolates would be a bait and switch bc the preview 100% wanted us to think it was ricky. and yet i still caught myself believing he did it for a second there. i was looking forward to some good rina content this episode and i cant believe i let myself get bamboozled. like the conversation was nice but completely one-sided, and he ignored her to call nini; i get that hes literally in a relationship but im not a huge fan of how he just stopped giving a shit about gina once it wasnt romantic anymore? like,, they couldnt even stay friends?

generally my thing about rina isnt that i think its some big spectacular ship, but moreso that i always go for ships that make my favorite character the happiest. so most of my rina shipping comes from seeing how ricky was the first person that gina was so happy and open with, and how she trusts him even though she trusts literally no one ever and she just self-discloses around him unprompted. the infatuation and crush part on gina’s side is the part i like. but ricky? annoying n flaky as shit

random offshoot but i wouldve loved to see the chocolates come from ej. it wouldnt have made sense just based on the episode we were given, but what if gina and ricky had had that conversation in the hallway and ej overheard them and wanted to do something nice for her since he didnt have a gf to buy stuff for this year? could you IMAGINE? i know im gonna be complaining about how theyre throwing ej away all season but like seriously @ writers we get it youre getting rid of ej in s3. no need to cut him almost completely out of the show in s2. please someone give my man some PLOT im dying

ashlyn telling gina “i wish i could give you a valentine” is simultaneously gay and reeking of straight people nonsense. you can give your friends gifts on valentines day??? i didnt receive a romantic valentines gift until i was 17 years old but i still got stuff from friends every year? umm

speaking of ashlyn i get the track that theyre trying to go on by making it seem groundbreaking that a disney princess role went to someone whos not a size 2 but like. shes still a white woman and im tired. plus theyre dancing around it anyway. if you wanna give her body image issues then just fucking commit. half assing that conversation helps no one.

redlyn was very cute this episode. im still annoyed that theyre getting so much time and focus this season but like. i am a big red stan. the song in the credits was cute too

speaking of, tell me why they literally crammed all the songs at the end of this episode??? i was honestly thinking they wouldnt have any songs this week, thats how long it took

kourtneys beauty and the beast was pretty. also i know theyre gonna make howie her love interest bc clearly if a boy and girl on tv interact for more than 2 seconds it has to turn romantic. im pre-annoyed. 

the ricky/nini plot didnt make a ton of sense bc... why didnt ricky just... hang out with her in the waiting room at the hospital? i am very confused as to why they had to make it so angsty and tropey like. youre literally in the same city and theres an easy solution here

im wondering if theyre gonna try to make miss jenn and mr mazzara a thing? im on the fence about how i feel about that tho. but i am annoyed that they didnt show miss jenns conversation with rickys dad at all

theyre making carlos so annoying this season, like idk whats going on or why they thought they needed to phone it in with his characterization this time around but like. what even was this seblos plot?

kourtney and seb conversations are always cute so i loved the piano scene

back to kourtney for a sec: why would big reds parents hire her as manager? why are they picking inexperienced teenagers for leadership roles? if nothing else, if howie has been around forever, why wouldnt they just promote him to manager??? instead of someone who has no idea how their pizza shop works like. i get that theyre trying to #girlboss kourtney this season, but was getting a job not enough growth and independence?

overall my biggest Gripe™ with this episode is that there wasnt enough gina or ej. and i get that its a big cast and not everyone can be the focus every time but literally when did redlyn become such a big priority to the writers? why are they getting so much screentime? i dont hate them or anything but like, i thought the main main characters were supposed to be nini, ricky, gina, and ej. so why is one of them getting like,, two lines per episode? im really out here picking up little ej crumbs like they wasted SO much potential with him as a character

your mistake was expecting this fixation to "die out." the trap with kpop is that theyre Constantly Releasing More Content so you're stuck here till they disband, bro. kpops been my longest lasting hyperfixation and it only dimmed down (not even died out) when i doubled my dosage of antidepressants during a mass pandemic and had to violently project onto visual novels so i could Feel Something. as soon as i weaned myself off my meds the kpop brainrot came back Full Force. its been years. ive fully accepted that im never escaping this hell and so should you -felix bi anon

Look I went into this pandemic telling my bestie on the daily "ma'am I am sorry but I am not watching anime and I am not getting into kpop, anything that is even vaguely reminiscent of shit I wouldve gotten beat up for in high school is very much a firm NO from me, also my two fav artists of all time are Lil Kim and Lana Del Rey, I don't think kpop is gonna be my speed at all, it's just not gonna vibe w me okay. And also my Type™ is very much rock dudes who are skinny and pale like they're dying with hella tattoos and an attitude problem, I'm tryna meet a man at the hardcore show, them kpop boys are not the vibe" (OOP it was the western beauty standard brain rot in FULL force bestie 🙊) so like, the fact that I even started to stan skz was 10000% against my will 😂 the part of me that once wanted to work in marketing is absolutely fascinated by the structure of the kpop industry and how insanely effective it is, but I thought I was ABOVE THAT lmfaooooo and NOW LOOK AT HA. CRYING OVER SOME SHORT ASS LIL AUSSIE BOY SINGIN SONGS WHERE I ONLY KNOW ONE OUT OF EVERY 75 WORDS. I WAS TRICKED, I WAS BAMBOOZLED, I WAS HOODWINKED!!!!!!! Also every fuckin time I see some lil kpop boy struttin around bein hella goals I'm like "lemme check somethin real quick, lemme cover my bases," cause I am NOT tryna get bamboozled into stanning another bunch of FETUSES, LITERAL ZYGOTES, and every damn time Google is like "yeh bestie they're all of 21, you're about to go full cougar mode, pump the breaks, back it up bestie, exit the premesis, back away slowly" and so I do cause like yall I aint even old, I'm only 27, but that is On Deaths Door in internet land and I'm not tryna get cancelled, so I physically cannot allow myself to stan any other group lmfao 😂 I have made my peace with skz sneaking into my fuckin heart but NEVER AGAIN. ACTIVATING AVOIDANT ATTACHMENT STYLE!!!!!!! I have never been cool a single day in my damn life and I do NOT need to add the stigma of someone I work with catching me doing the full Back Door choreo in my car before I clock in 😂 my high school trauma will not allow it 😂 ain't no room for it, I'm baggin' and taggin' any other groups content and yeeting it 100 miles away from me, my ego can't take it, she's fragile, she can't take criticism, lemme go back to flying completely under the radar with my basic ass self, that's all I ask 😂 I don't need to go back to work and have a FULL mental breakdown on the sales floor because Chan posted a selfie, I don't need to have to try to explain to my coworkers that I need ten minutes to chain smoke and cry over some boy reading comments on a live chat 😂 LET ME OUT OF THIS FIXATION, BRAIN, PLEASE, I AM EXPOSING MYSELF AND SNATCHING MY OWN WIG ON THE DAILY 😂😂😂😂😂
