@mcyt-halloween gift exchange for @sand-stinger! Hope you like it :3c

______________________________________________________________

God, was Shelby scared. The sculk was spreading, and it was spreading FAST. It had covered her body, it had taken over her empire, and the ghost of the area was even more mad at her than usual. Yeah. She hated this. And the worst thing of all, she had blown Katherine away so rudely, when all she wanted to do was help! But, she also knew that it wasn’t her that shouted at the princess. Every little while, her memory would start to go fuzzy but remain there, as if she was watching a movie where the main character’s going to make a decision that will make the entire story make a turn for the worse, and there was nothing she could do or have done to stop it. And she wanted to stop it SO BADLY! Yup, you know the feeling. It was making her do so many things that she didn’t want to do, just the other day she blew up a potion that she’d been working on for days! Everything was happening, and all of it was happening to her. Oh yeah, some evil being just shows up and starts living in your body and making you do things you don’t want to do? Not. Cool. It was infuriating! Now Katherine’s been talking so much more to Joey, and that was just one of Shelby’s problems! (No Joel, she doesn’t think about girls all the time. Just, like, 70 percent of the time.) Anyways, many problems. Yeah. Like, she overhears all her citizens talking about her, like she’s changed from the benevolent, clumsy witch they once knew to a slightly more rugged, more violent being. And there was always that voice, that little voice that just showed up in the back of her head, telling her to give in, and keeps repeating that weird mantra ‘spread the souls, spread the sculk’. Oh no, that reminded her of Cub! Poor Cub, that rift thing had unwillingly taken him from his ‘hermitcraft’ or whatever it was called world, and dumped him here, in empires! And then stupid Shelby, with no control of her stupid magic, turned him into a sculk monster! Thankfully, she had somehow managed to cure him before he crossed over to his world again, but that was a SCARE. She can’t let that happen ever again. But it seems, her magic was failing her once again. Every potion, every spell cast, they all did nothing. When she got close to Tortoise, he looks at the sculk and walks a step back. All her magic could do was make it appear like the sculk was gone, even when it wasn’t. She just doesn’t think that she can survive like this. It’s all getting too much. And she hasn’t even started on the fact that she’s a wanted fugitive in the witch world, and got expelled from her academy! All the negative things in her life were consuming her, ripping away the fibres of her skin, making her feel like she wasn’t human. “And,” she chuckled, “I don’t think I am anymore at this point.” Shelby walked out of her hut, and took a step back to look at it. The hut, that she had lovingly made, as soon as she came to empires, trying to make it as cosy and cute as she possibly could, now looked harsh and unwelcoming. The kingdom of Evermoore, which she had built up with nothing but her bare hands and a few spells, now looked dreary and chilling, full of citizens casting worried looks and her and then hurriedly whispering to their friends. The mangrove swamp, which seemed cold at first, but soon became home, now looked just as scary as it did as when Shelby first came there. Of course, not to mention the sculk that had spread everywhere. She suddenly heard whispers, and noises that sounded like howls of dogs.

“You started this…you’re the reason that all of this is happening…pathetic…you couldn’t even do anything in your first life…”

“Huh? What? Who are you? What do you mean by first life? HELLO???”

Just as mysteriously as the voices started, they disappeared. But the voice in her head got stronger. “Spread the souls, spread the sculk. Spread the souls, spread the sculk. Spread the souls, SPREAD THE SCULK!”

And, you know what, maybe it was right. She didn’t have anything left to lose in her life. She’s realised, that she never felt stronger, and more in control of her magic, than now, when the sculk possessed her. She’s realised that she should have had revenge on Joey a long time ago, and maybe on the witches’ academy too, while she’s at it! If that makes her immoral, if that makes her the bad guy, then so be it! She’ll be the bad guy. She’ll redeem herself, no matter what it takes, no matter what anyone says.

She walked into the center of her empire. She saw the place where the sculk had begun spreading. She got down on her knees and gently touched the substance. She felt the power, the anger and the sadness these souls that disintegrated into the sculk felt, and she felt it surge into her body, and provide her with power. She had fully embrace the sculk now, she couldn’t take the things happening to her any longer. She slowly undid the overalls and took of her shirt. Ah, yep. That felt better. She could feel the power flowing through her veins much better now. She slowly got up, and took of her hat and threw it away, watching it fall to the ground. The old Shelby was gone now, and she would never come back. Suddenly, she heard footsteps.

“Hey Shelby, I haven’t seen you in some time and I wanted to check oon yyoouu…Shelby?”

Shelby turned around, a manic grin on her face, sculk all over her body, highlights missing from her eyes and a glint in her eyes that would make anybody sure that she was insane.

“Hello Oli,” she crooned. “You’re just in time to witness the marking of my new change.”

And then she pulled out her scythe and lashed out at him.

*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*-~*

Somewhere, locked deep in her mind, the uncorrupted Shelby shook the bars of her sculk cage, tears streaming down her face, being able to do absolutely nothing as this new version of her killed her friend.

fic rec friday 18

hi!! welcome to fic rec friday. every week, i pick five fics i have bookmarked and rec them with a little review. check them out!

Of Lame Boyfriends and Hypothetical Cats by @nikkira

“We should get a cat.”

sweet and simple and fluffy. and featuring nico di angelo who loves his boyfriend SO BAD. like actually.

2. Idiota by @nikkira

"Chiron is standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed. If you’ve never been stared down angrily by a Centaur while you’re semi-hard, consider yourself lucky. Nico would not recommend it." Will finally figures out what Nico is always mumbling about under his breath in Italian.

this author's chiron has me CACKLING i know he is tired of them 😭😭😭 he never gets a break fr. this whole fic had me giggling but if i was in nico's position i would swan dive into the marianas trench on god.

3. Is There Something On My Face? by @buoyantsaturn

5 times Will has something on his face and 1 time Nico has something on his.

i love college aus. always. and nico is so CHEESY AND IN LOVE and will is so CHARMINGLY EARNEST i am going to COLLAPSE. HONESTLY. cj u KILL ME

4. Still Sane by @buoyantsaturn

“Nico di Angelo.” Will’s hand slipped on the thread between his fingers and he nearly stabbed the needle he held into Sherman’s calf. “I saw him this morning, and he looks so different, but like, in a good way. A really good way. He almost looks like a different person--” EDIT: this fic is based on this headcanon list Part 3 of Prompts

“if my confession wasn’t clear enough i can try again” what a GOOBER 😭😭😭 and i love fics where it is so abundantly clear that will has been burning the torch for nico forever and will continue to do so until he dies. like actualy down bad disgusting for eternity. will has gone down in history as Nico di Angelo's BF and he's cool with that honestly

5. Stupid Business Trips by Unshaded_Streaks_Of_Me

“I really do not need to know about your little bedroom adventures, Rebecca,” Nico groaned, throwing his pen at her, “I’m in goddamn withdrawal.” “You have plenty of time to catch up when Will comes back."

this fic is so dweeby why is nico embarrassing 😭😭 hes fr such a grump w everyone whos not will and i love to see it honestly

thank you for joining me this friday!! happy reading!!

[oh-no-its-bird]

:) hey I just wanna say I really like chasing shadows, the way you write Kakashi deeply shoving down his Father and what he means to Kakashi, blantantly replacing his idol with Tobirama. Was Fugaku Sakumo's student in the fic? :D I hope he stays in the fic throughout.

THANK YOU SO MUCH IM SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT !!!

I have so much fun w Chasing Shadows, and I have so many plans. Sakumo who?? Sorry dad, Kakashi only has room in his heart for one white haired genius to idolize. (For his own mental heath's sake, anyways)

OH THATS ACTUALY SUCH A COOL IDEA THO? I've never heard of the take of Fugaku being Sakumo's student, I am putting that in my back pocket for possible later use in other aus. In Chasing Shadows at least, Sakumo had no students. Fugaku worked w him a couple times just as a jonin

(But also oh my god now Im thinking ab a team Sakumo,,, fuck.)

Fugaku is totally gonna stick around in the fic tho !! Him and Hikaku both have a pretty important role to play in Kakashi's eventual road to trying to become Hatake clan head, and both in similar but distinctly different ways. I don't wanna spoil too much, but Fugaku is definitely gonna get a kick out of not being the youngest clan heir made head at the clan council w mr actual 6 year old technical clan head Kakashi over there

But yeah !!! Thank you so much for your ask, it makes me so happy to know that you like my fic enough to actually hit my inbox w something about it skjsdfksdfj

[bluntforcespatter]

yeeeah i get that a bit more than i'd like to lol. 'm sorry it's like that for you tho /gen n yeah. it's def easier to just be some little electronic beastie than imagine myself to be properly tangible for anyone. i'm real like a digital pet or smthn, ig is my personal like...thoughts on it. ppl like those cuz they're cute, so they like me because i'm just a lil critter ywy. but if i'm more real and like....more than just words then like it becomes "what if i'm [neg thing here]" like i said, ik all of that's not entirely true, just kinda a ramble of like. getting it in my own ways lol, even if it might not be the most sensical way of putting it edtfbh n i get what you mean! i've watched/played/read stuff like that before. it's a weird sorta cathartic pain, so it's nice in a way. it sounds really good :3 thank you ywy hopefully yours does too. no problem o7 i get it n i'm glad it helps a bit for me to ramble n stuff ywy i always worry it's a bit much or annoying or w/e, so it's nice to hear [read?] that it's actualy helpful gtrfh - 📺

ah, thank you (ᵕ—ᴗ—) all we can do is our best, though, so... i am trying? ¯\_(ᵕ—ᴗ—)_/¯

and SO TRUE !! i spent my childhood online. like i was on forums and shit when i was 6 ( ꩜ ᯅ ꩜;) i was in a very very bad situation and escaping onto the internet made me feel better. i could pretend not to be from my home there. but so many years spent on the internet without anything in real life that was good really made me worse in a lot of ways - like ... the internet was the only place people ever listened to me, let alone interacting with me out of choice. in my home, i wasn't treated as a person. my parents didn't even really use my name, the name they gave me, until i was older. but online people would say "hi ghost! how was your day?" and it made me feel real. but now i feel more real online than offline... and if i am real IRL, then that means all the bad stuff that happened to me IRL did happen. so i just sort of mentally shut it all down and i wish i wasn't this way but my brain is protecting itself or something. that's what i'm told anyways.

i miss quotev i practically lived there. most of my system THRIVED there, with the RP groups we could pretend to be in character and then just be ourselves, people would address us as ourselves and it was so affirming and it felt amazing to finally exist and matter to someone. we have an alter who is basically all digital, so we often see ourselves like a little sprite traveling through 0s and 1s and pixels out into the wide web !! it's fun but sometimes very lonely.

so i totally get what you're saying. if you were a tamagotchi i would put you on a keychain and take you out and about !! digital friends ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

cathartic pain !! yes !!! it's nice to remind yourself that it hurts - remind yourself you're still here, you still are feeling and alive, you did experience things that you carry around with you... i am very dissociative unfortunately so i relish anything that makes me feel again. most of the time i feel like a fuzzy static CRT TV...

and thank you (o^▽^o) im going to try to have a good evening. i think i can do it. im going home today (was at my roommates mum's to visit, she gets lonely) and im excited to go home and relax !! you're certainly not being too much or annoying. i only get annoyed by actually irritating things. like frustration at ignorance or injustice... i am always yelling on my blog that anyone can come yap anytime about anything because i like to listen. a pain shared is half a burden, a happiness shared is twice the joy !! (* ^ ω ^) hopefully you make time today to do something self indulgent . it's important to take time to do stuff that feeds your soul . or whatever that sounds cheesy but i hope you know what i mean !!!

[bluem00n007]

Hello!! First off, I'm really sorry for not responding back to you earlier from my last ask. I got really busy with irl stuff that I didn't get the time to reply. But if I can still send in my answer, you don't need to apologize about the leash thing with sirius!! I should have realized that sooner lmao, but thanks for clarifying. Also, you definitely have a point that arcturus has so much potential to be a good, bad, or grey character. Besides his constellation, there's also his special magic, how he takes such a long time to get back to mc when he excuses himself from them, and the Shepard thing. These could be building up to something big later on in the story, and I'm equally terrified and excited. Side note though, I saw your comic about vega and vanessa and it was so good!! The layout felt so clean, not to mention the way you drew out their emotions was a critical hit to my heart!!

Also also, if you don't mind me asking on your opinion on this, what do you think are the effects of mc being imprinted with the sorcerers? Besides the boost in power ofc.

Apologies for the long text, hopefully I didn't bother you with this. Take care!!

OMG HEY ANNON!!! It's so good to see you again!!! ^w^)/ And please, don't apologise for not replying before, real life takes priority and I hope you are doing well

The Sirius thing was such an innocent mistake and well, it is a saying that not a lot of people are familiar with and use, so I really get what caused the confusion, Arcky, I think if he does indeed turn out to be a villain, would he be with the void on purpose or was manipulated, hm another Tumblr user, who's user I am forgetting at the moment, but all credits to them for this pointer, basically what they said was Arcturus is the protector of the bear, Summoner is represented with the bear constellation, so I think the void did wipe his memories and are now using him as a way to get closer to summoner, I mean so far everyone lives the way their constellations do

Also thank you so much!!!! I was really hoping you would see that comic TvT and I feel really happy that it was impactful, I don't know how to actually put this in words, sorry of if I can't say it properly, but yeah, I am really happy!

Now I think the best way to explain an imprint is that it's a very magical form of "red strings of fate", more so a promise to protect the parties imprinting and a way to ensure it than anything else, like the pact in obey me, it's a power scaler(?) Like you make pacts and if you learn how to use them, you can draw power from demons and make them do what you command, that's not what I think an imprint is, like Spica said, it's an oath to protect

For the imprints, so far we know bits and pieces for what makes them special, firstly they allow partners to feel each other's feelings, you have any idea how hard it would be to hide crushes? Jokes aside that means that there must be a while lot of trust between people before they imprint, Spica did a gigachad move, respect, because he just let us imprint with him without knowing us much

If we take Alpheratz's words at face value, multiple imprints are not possible, or at the very least not common, he looks so surprised that our heart was entwined with others, that or he was just surprised at how many imprints we had even before a week at Contell, this could be explained by the time loop theory, which if you didn't know about, is that Sirius is a time loop character, goes back in time, which creates a different timeline, the good stuff, that explains why summoner has so many pacts already, if the bonds carried over everytime, but honestly speaking, that actualy leaves more unanswered questions, why was Sirius surprised he got summoned? Why did us coming to Bound arlyn ruin his plans? So I am a little skeptical of this theory

I think that is what makes summoner a summoner, plus the entire potential of being able to summon stuff that are not under the same relam as constellations, hence so special, but then why these 6 specific guys? Which is why it's not a 100% disagree on taht, just skeptical

Third and personally my favourite, angst warning and it is a little morbid, so don't read this if you are uncomfortable:

3

2

1

you can't harm an imprinted partner or you get harmed yourself, it has so much angst potential (I love angst actualy) out of everyone, Sirius has the heighest potential, imo, to use this if he ever finds himself in a clutch, not because it's an easy way out for him, mind you, but most likely because it's the best way out for summoner in case the void catches them in a clutch (yes I do live for angst) plus if the time loop theory is correct it's not much of a risk either, plus storytaco has a reputation of having a high chance to kill any character, even MC has no plot armour

Sorry for the long reply, I kinda get in the whole flow TvT

[wuffgang-ameowdeus-moozart]

I saw the impersonate you invitation and I'm not very good at impersonations, but I will tell you what I think you are like based on your blog!

First of all you love Lucy from Fairytale, and have a lot of fun playfully obsessing over her.

I say playful, because you have a suprisingly nuanced understanding of the characters that you like. You dont just take the text (or whatever medium you are engaging with) at face value, you think through what is happening and what it means. You have excelent literary analysis skills.

I think you are probably pretty blunt and opinionated, but you are not mean or unkind. You care deeply for the people around you and put a lot of effort into understanding them.

You may lean towards pessimism sometimes, but you have a sarcastic sense of humor which can make it seem like you are more pessimistic than you really are.

You are very enthusiastic about the beautiful parts of the world, and delight in happy suprises.

I have no idea why, but you feel like somebody who thinks marine biology is cool af.

How did I do? Did I get anything right?

oh my god I love this alskfjsjf

first of all: sorry this took me a hot second to answer 😅

second: hey how does it feel to cut out a piece of my soul only to serve it to me on a silver platter?

gonna go more in depth with each one under the cut (bc I love talking about myself lol) but if you don't have the nerves for that ATM let it be known that you've got me clocked my guy. if I have to describe myself in a job interview I'm gonna ring up beloved tumblr anon to do it for me 🫡 💕

most inaccurate is probably that I'm actually not sure whether I'd call myself an optimist or pessimist (though I do know that I make an effort to be outwardly more optimistic than I actually feel) and while I do absolutely adore the ocean I'm not sure I'd say that I'm particularly interested in marine biology specifically. it's one of those things I keep telling myself I want to do more research on but I never actually do it, so like, theoretically yes but not in practice? does this make sense?

1. id say lucy heartfilia lives rent-free in my head but it would probably be more accurate to say that I feed her scraps of brain matter and heart tissue and devotion in hopes she deems my soul a worthy resting place (<- look how normal I am about her!)

FT was not only my longest obsession ever to date but also my first after moving countries, so being unwell about Lucy again feels weirdly nostalgic in a way?

2. oh yeah I do adore analysing texts and characters and devices and stuff. which is also why I adore wuthering heights lol (cycles and parallels and tragedies my beloved). I don't really know how to read WITHOUT doing this tbh? like of course there is a difference when I am actively engaging with it but sometimes I'll say something that seems pretty obvious to me and then people will be like "this is a great analysis!" lol

(also not to brag but I've been told more than once that I often approach narratives and symbolism from an angle that others haven't considered before 😏)

I actually started studying literature, but for various reasons (which include not being able to deal with a bunch of people clacking on their laptops at the same time the sound was literally driving me insane does anyone have any tips on how to deal with that) I stopped going after like a month

tho id say my favorite thing to analyze is actualy theater plays? especially because of the added element of speech (it feels unfair to judge an audiobook by this metric since books were primarily written to be read but theater is literally made to be spoken aloud and thus it is the authors duty to also think about the cadences of the words and what the different sounds feel like instead of just focusing on how it looks like on paper imo) and visuals

whenever I go with a friend (I need to go with someone so I can talk about it) I'll first ask them what they thought so I can gather my thoughts and kinda compare and then I won't shut up until we have to go out separate ways lol

3. which is a great way to get into the third point: I do have opinions about everything! (unless I don't have a lot of information on the topic in question). I always keep myself open for counter arguments (my biggest fear is becoming one of those obnoxious stubborn ignorant people who are proud of being stuck in their ways and categorically refuse to even consider other viewpoints and opinions) but unless this is about something factual where you have more experience/facts than me it's actually pretty hard to convince me.

because while I love sharing my opinions to everyone that'll listen, im Not a fan of confrontations? I tire of them pretty quickly so depending on whether you pass my vibe check I will either be honest (hey yo agree to disagree can we change topics) or pretend to agree just so we can move on without anyone getting prissy lmao

4. and yes I do try to always be kind to people! dni if you don't make an effort to wish the bus driver a good day tbh. I have this need to be acknowledged and remembered by strangers and also feel really bad whenever im mean to people so my compromise is to try to always be friendly while wearing bright hair and clothes lol

I think I also have a pretty approachable aura? I'm often asked for directions and stuff (which is always a shame for the people asking because i am lostTM)

5. okay so. this is actually a fun exercise to do. because characters in books need to be fairly simple at their core (so the author can write them consistently) while creating the illusion of being complex and layered - and you can kind of do the same thing to real people!

in my mind that makes me a bad shittalker because I'll be actively doing this while you are trying to tell me about something shitty someone else did to you. I'll try to look at it from various angles (at least within the realm of the possible when going solely by a very biased POV) which often comes across as defending them? but I think this is a rather unpopular opinion since I can't count the times I've heard "I know you don't like to shittalk people, but-" as a conversation starter lol

6. I am! a sarcastic shit! I can clearly tell the difference between my sarcasm and my serious voice, but people say that it sounds the same to them (which just makes it more fun tbh lol) tho I think that's only fair considering I often have a hard time telling when other ppl are being serious vs not

7. idk where I am on the optimism pessimism scale tbh. when I was small I figured out this neat magic trick where if u pretend to have really low expectations things seem even cooler than they actually are. it makes sense (expectations and everyone is master of their own reality and contrast etc etc) but back then I genuinely thought I had unravelled the fabric of the universe lol

so like. I'll always be kinda expecting the worst while at the same time not quite believing it? so I'm not disappointed when the "worst" does indeed happen but am also not actively psyching myself out? idk the only gymnastics I'm good at are the mental ones

long story short anon I hope I don't come off too strong but I think I am in love with you <3

[calamarispiderart]

ough.....kissy......

[genderkoolaid]

I wanna use this post as a case study in gender essentialism and TERF rhetoric in lesbianism. And I am going to be making assumptions about OP's beliefs and feelings based on this post and their tags.

[Screenshot of a tumblr post and it's tags. OP's url is not shown:

"I'm a man who identifies as a lesbian" got it you're a fucking predator goodbye.

#men canNOT be lesbians what's not clicking #and the fact that anyone could identify as such or actively support someone identifying as such is fucking sickening #as if men trying to force themselves on lesbians and people trying to force men into our attraction isn't bad enough #now we have people actualy identifying as such??? you are chronically online mf #and no this post does not apply to he/him genderfluid or transmasc lesbians who do not identify as men #but it you identify as a MAN and yet also identify as a lesbian then literally block me #and it's a punch to the face if i ever encounter one of y'all motherfuckers in real life #stop invading lesbian spaces #lesbophobia #anti-lesboys #anti-male lesbians #this is just like the bi lesbian bull #men are not involved in lesbianism what's not fucking clicking #men dni #non-lesbians dni #terfs dni]

So, the core problem this person has with male lesbians is, it seems, that "male lesbians" are inherently predatory and "male lesbian" means forcing female lesbians to be attracted to men. They seem to equate "male lesbian" with "(cis) heterosexual man trying to assault or "fix" lesbian women."

Now, this is in contrast with the people who actually, in good faith (not as a joke) identify as male lesbians/lesboys. These people are commonly

Trans men who have transitioned but still identify as lesbians and are still active in the lesbian community, which has been a thing for decades- despite OP saying it's "chronically online". I would really love to see the reaction if you, in real life, punched an older lesbian trans man for existing in his community with his lesbian wife. Do you think people would be on your side?

Other trans* people who identify as lesbians while also being male in some way (for example, being multigender). I know the OP tries to carve out space for genderfluid/transmasc lesbians, but they still do so in a way that makes it clear that the only trans* people "allowed" to be lesbians are the ones who never actually identify as MEN. Just as a fun reminder to all us weird transes that we gotta make sure we never find ourselves too close to that line, or else we have to give up the labels we care for because The Cises have made it law.

These kinds of people have been identifying as lesbians for decades. Trans male lesbians have been well-documented. Male lesbians frequently find happy relationships with other lesbians who are aware of their gender identity. When you see someone calling themself a "male lesbian" or "lesboy", as an actual identity, it's much more likely they are a trans* person with a complex identity, and not a cishet guy making a stupid joke.

And yet, the OP of this post conflates male lesbians/lesboys with this idea of predatory straight men invading the community, not just through violence but through lies and deception. Men are "predators" who are "invading lesbian spaces" to "force themselves on lesbians" and "force lesbians to be attracted to men." Where have we heard this before?

If you took this post, and removed the comments on genderfluid and transmasc people, and the "terfs dni" at the very end, this would be EXTREMELY easy to read as a terf complaining about trans women who are lesbians. Obviously this person does not identify as a terf, and on some level cares about making that clear. Yet they have the same line of thinking: men cannot be lesbians, because men being lesbians is inherently harmful in itself. Men being lesbians inherently means men assaulting lesbians, no matter the actual person behind the label. Because OP is not thinking about male lesbians as people who are identifying that way out a genuine feeling of connection with the label and a desire for community... they must be doing it for nefarious reasons, because that's what males do.

And this person could hypothetically be a crypto-TERF, but I really don't think they are. I think this is a person who genuinely does not like TERFs, and wants to support trans women. They don't want to be a harmful person to people that they are supposed to support.

Yet, they are. Being a TERF or hating trans women, in progressive queer spaces, is a social faux pas, but hating men isn't. So for radical feminist ideology to take root, all it has to do is change "men" from "people assigned male at birth" to "anyone who identifies as a man", and then suddenly you have people who "hate TERFs" who agree wholeheartedly with TERF rhetoric. Because while they might be able to recognize that viewing trans women as predators in lesbian spaces is Wrong, they- and we as queer people in general- have not acknowledged as much how hatred of men is a foundational part of TERF transmisogyny.

So people will freely regurgitate TERF beliefs- men are inherently predatory and dangerous, and this is why men can't be lesbians, because allowing men in women's spaces puts them all in danger, so women must isolate themselves from men and any man who tries to enter a woman's space is a predator- but because they insist that they don't mean "trans women" when they say "men", they feel it's completely unrelated to radical feminism.

Also, notice the hatred to bi lesbians as well! It's almost like radical feminists don't like them very much either, for the same reason (lesbian spaces must be pure!!!!!)

WHY THE END OF GAME OF THRONES IS NOT WORKING FOR ME....

I told in some of my past metas, that I wrote after the show was done, why the ending was so unsatisfying and I am going to try to explain why here in some point. Its not because it was sad and heartbreaking, or some of our theories never really turned out to be true.

I am afraid to say, Its George RRM who is letting me down, not Benioff and Weiss. So lets start with the points that are making my head spin.

BRAN THE BROKEN KING

If accept Bran Stark as the final King of this story, I have to pretend I didnt read the past books A CLASH IF KINGS and a FEAST FOR CROWS, where we had very good contenders fighting for the Throne (Rob Stark, Renly Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Joffrey Baratheon, etc) Yes, some of those men were not so good from a moral point of view, but they brought strength, militar support, militar and political alliances, legitimate claims to the Throne...

I could go on and on and on. There is absolutely no reason for why would Yara Greyjoy would bend the knee to Brandon Stark and accept him as her leader and ruler; or the Prince of Dorne, or the Lords from the Westerlands. This choice is absolutely absurd and if you read the books you would know that picking a boy king, with no claim to the Throne or no powerful armies makes any sense at all. Whe we add the fact Bran had hardly any experience ruling or leading people during the 7 years of this story, this pic gets even more and more bizarre.Not to mention, I really dislike the idea that humans are incapable to control their own emotions, and because of that we must pick a God like creature with no emotions.

 I understand George wanted a surprising ending and he wanted to go against the expectations, but this choice is an utopia. I cant get behind this choice. I am sorry.

TYRION HAND OF THE KING

Again, do I have to pretend I didnt read the books and actually know that being a Kingslayer is a very terrible sin to carry on Westeros??? Tyrion is not a beloved figure in this story, even before he killed his own father, Tywin Lannister.

Tyrion decision to kill his father, not only started the downfall of House Lannister, it also made the entire region of the Westerlands political weaker and more vulnerable to future attacks.He must be a very despised figure in the entire realm. Yet, he will be the second person in charge of Westeros??

At this point I am at loss of words. I have no idea what George is planning with this.

JON KILLING DAENERYS AS A LOVER IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

Awful, terrible, horrible idea. Any way you slice, this was a terrible idea to end such amazing novel. Its corny, outdated and down right dangerous, considering we live in a world where females are at risk of being murdered by their male partners all the time.

This is such underwhelming decision, in a sea of underwhelming decisions that I am starting to think George was simply trying to make us all hate this ending.

We could have the realm raising in Rebelion against the Queen of Ashes; we could have second Dance of Dragons; We could have Arya using her underused superpowers as a Faceless men to kill Daenerys. No, we will have Jon Snow, still making excuses for Daenerys terrible behavior, begging her to start acting better???? telling her she will always be his queen while putting a dagger into her heart!!!

Again, this ending is coming from George himself. I cant really blame the D’s for this mess.

JON SNOW AND DAENERYS TARGARYEN ROMANCE WAS ANOTHER TERRIBLE IDEA.

Awful, terrible, horrible idea. Any way you slice, this was a terrible idea to end such amazing novel. If you dont believe Political Jon theory, then Jon Snow is just a completely fool, who fell in love with a tyrant, closed his eyes to all her terrible behavior and in the end was forced to kill the love of his life to save humanity. He is a idiot. and it breaks my heart that this is how Jon Snow will be remembered by audiences.  Some people keep on telling me. “Oh, by, I dont think this is how George will write him, I think its going to be much better” But I have to say, I dont think it will.

I do believe Jon was playing Dany in the beginning of their romance and was manipulating her in order to use her dragons and armies to save the North, but I also believe that once he finds out she is his family too, he became a little torned between his Targ and Stark family. He is a family man in the end of the day and he must feel some sort of guilty for his actions towards D@ny.

I think that George will keep Political Jon hidden between the lines, just like the show did. He may write much better and be more obvious, but I dont think it will ever be revealed explicit to the audience. And this is what kills his character. If he doesnt reveal to the audience that Jon was playing Daenerys, than it seems Jon Snow never really learned anything from his past 10 years and it sucks!!

No matter how you slice it, if George will keep Jon’s actions hidden and make the audience believe he is madly in love with this entitled monster and will keep on defending her until the very end and this is the character assassination of Jon Snow.

If, he is madly in love with Dany and has to be told several times that he must kill her to save the world from her tyranny, he is an IDIOT who never learned a damn thing in his life. If he DOESNT love Dany, but out of duty still is loyal to her, and has to be told several times to kill her in order to save the world, he is an IDIOT who never fucking learns anything. I dont get what George is doing here. He is destroying the character he spend so much time bulding as a hero, but that's exactly what he wants to do it. Maybe there are NO HEROS. (what a shit message).

I wished Jon and Dany had been just allies and later became enemies. This would be a much better ending for both characters.

CHARACTERS ARCS THAT SEEMS POINTLESS BY THE END OF THE STORY....

Jaime can not put Cersei behind him and comes back to die with her in the end;

Jon Snow can never, ever, ever learn with his mistakes and is still struggling after so much pain and misery in his life, over duty and honour.

Jon Snow years and years learning to be a leader and ruler is absolutely pointless and he is sent back to the Wall, where he started???

Sansa, who dreamed about love and family all 5 novels, ends this story completely alone;

Arya, who desperate wanted to go back home since season 1, leaves once again, this time for good??? leaving her younger brother alone in the South (where Stark men dont do well), her sister alone in Winterfell and Jon all alone at the Wall. WHAT THE FUCK?????

Daenerys can never overcome her family tragedy of Fire and Blood, and becomes the monster her father was;

In fact, it seems that its impossible for humans to evolve and become better people than their parents, a God like creature must rule us all, otherwise we are lost. (I can not repeated enough times, what terrible message this ending is, and its no even true!!!!, we live in a world of no magic, and we were able to produce rules who brought us peace, progress and humanity.)

THE COMPLETE LACK OF JOY, LOVE AND HOPE....

What really got me by surprise in the end, it was how sterile and hopeless this entire story felt. George once said that he writes so much violence, deaths and rapes in his novels because it is part of real medieval life and would be a lie to avoid those themes in his books, but you know whats also real part of medieval life?? Marriages? Marriage alliances, happy normal ones, who produce children, heirs, LIFE, FUTURE!!!

Oh we had weddings on ASOIAF, but most of them ended in slaughter, death, rape, misery. I dont think we had one happy birth inthis entire story? Gilly had a child from her father rapist and Edmure was able to produce a child too, but his bride Roselin was actualy in tears when they had sex (because she was aware of the Red Wedding plans) 

What a miserable tale this was. Our heros never really get to experience real joy. They never get to fullfill their childhood dreams. But they do get to be raped and abused, so, maybe thats ALL IT REALLY happened in the medieal times. Oh wait, its not tue, The War of the Roses ended with the marriage of Henry Tutor and Elizabeth of York. They had a very happy marriage and produced several children. 

In our story, we dont get to have laughter, joy, happiness or hope for a future. We do get several pages of Theon being tortured and dismembered in the books; or Sansa being physically and mentally abused; or Jon being consumed by loneliness and grief. But I guess, thats all it happened in the medieval times, so..........

Funny thing is, you see, before the story started, marriages and children were a common occurence in Westeros. Ned and Cat had several children; Cersei and Robbert had 3; Lysa was able to produce a child too; The Tyrells keep on making babies, even God damn Lyanna Stark, who only spent a few months married to Rheagar, was able to had a child. What miracle, its almost like those events were normal facts in those days.

In our story, no House can produce children, even bastards!!! Jon, Theon and Tyrion had quite lots of sex during this story, yet no children was ever produced. Maybe all men in Westeros became sterile, once ASOIAF started it. 

AS YOU SEE....

By the end of the day, I am disappointed in George, not really the TV show, which is even more sadder. I think he wrote a very beautiful story, but his ending is taking away all my joy for those characters and this novel. I know he wanted avoid the expected and subvert the expectations, but he is shooting his own story in their foot. And its braking my heart.

What terrible way to end such fascinating tale...

“[Bran] will be a good ruler bc he’s inhuman - which is a very depressing message. GoT was always about the struggle between human good & human evil w/in each person. Bran being king suggests that the solution to human evil isn’t human good, it’s being not human.”  

ALT SHIFT X described in great words, how I felt about this ending, and you could sense his disappointment in the final message of this story too. It's was an extremely nihlistic ending. Westeros hasn't changed in facts it's worse politically. 

A SONG OF ICE ANF FIRE VS LORD OF THE RINGS....

Now, lets compare this to LORD OF THE RINGS ending, who also got a bittersweet ending. Remember, George RRM is always comparing those stories and believes he is having a conversation to Tolkien. 

Honest to God, in comparison LOTR looks like a Disney movie. It has a beautiful coronation ceremony, humanity came together to save the world from evil, and THEY TRIUMPHED!!!! There is JOY, LOVE, HOPE. Aragorn is King of the Reunited Kingdom, the people love and admire him (can we say the same about King Bran?) . 

He marries his childhood love, Arwen and produce an heir. This brings hope and a sense of future for the reader. This story is uplifting, its inspiring, its quite frankly, a good story. 

Its impossible not feel good about this story and the ending is one of the reasons this story has touched so many people, from all over the world and has remained a classic. Because, the tale of humanity coming together to defeat the evil is a theme that its always occurring in our life times. This is something that Tolkien experienced personally, having to fight in the WWII.

The nazis were defeated because several countries, put aside their differences and fought for the good of humanity and yes, it is possible. And after WWII we actually managed to achieve a lot of humans rights for several people who were considered less in the early century. 

In GOT there was no joy or celebration, no weddings to form new alliances; to make peace; no births to bring new heirs, to bring a hope for the future. In fact, most wedding in the show were always associated with death and pain. Death and pain, yes, there was a lot of death and pain in ASOAIF. Thats all it has to offer the reader and viewer? Death, pain and misery??

I understand that George wanted to do the different and not give what the reader really wanted. But I have to be honest to you, in my opinion, this was a unfulfilling, uninspiring, unpleasant story. I said a few times, i have no desire to re read those long books. This story brought me no joy. And I understand that, stories are not obliged to bring us joy, but, they are supposed to make sense. And, I just dont think the ending made a lot of sense for those who read the books. Hey, maybe that was our mistake. Hee

What sad story :/

The Adventure Zone Balance Liveblog: Part Two of ????

Episode 56: The Suffering Game-Chapter Six

Griffin: Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention this: the room around you, it kinda… it appears like you’re on the Rockport Limited again. Like, the room around you looks like you’re in a train car battling, and there’s like virtual windows looking out to like the passing countryside, like you’re on a train. Like, the room is recreating the scenes of these classic battles.

Travis: What a nice treat for the audience!

It i s a nice treat, my minds eye is very happy with this stage building (gOd I love Wonderland as a setting. Everything about how it’s set up, the aesthetics, mwah chiefs kiss, thank you for creating the perfect torturous hell Griffin)

-

Justin: Uhh let’s see, I’m going toooOooo… hurt Jenkins! (*Griffin chuckles*) With a magical spell. Of my own choosing~

Justin: Of my ownnnn-

Clint: This would be a spell that is magical?

Justin: Yeah, I’m just gonna do...you know what? I’m not gonna get clever on him.

Justin: I’m just gonna hit him with a...juicy, juicy, “Scorching Ray.”

Griffin: Mmkay!

Justin: I gotta make a ranged spell attack for each ray—

Clint: Are you scorching raayyy~~~

Griffin: Oh, that’s fun, Dad!

Travis: That was a good joke, Daddy!

Clint: I’m just bringing back an old one from the past!

Griffin: Yea, That’s a classic!

Clint: You’re bringing back all the bosses!

Griffin: -That’s a good point, Dad!

Griffin: Let’s do all our old jokes in this one!

Justin: Especially if they are like—

Travis: Yeah, let’s make this, this is like our “trapped in a room” episode, y’know, where we all—

Griffin: Yeah, this is our “bottle” episode.

Justin: Yeah, especially if they’re from other podcasts. That’s ideal.

I love banter (also is Justin okay he sounds either stoned or dead right now)

On another note, do-

Do other families other than the McElroys call their Dad Daddy? I have no idea if it’s a ironic thing or if it’s an actual thing people call their father figures? I'm trying not to base my American family centred knowledge entirely on the McElroys-

-

*Dice Rolling Intensifes*

-

Griffin: Something happens, that hasn’t happened in a w h i l e, and that is-

Travis: We feel something!

Mood

Griffin: He drops his wand, and Taako, your umbrastaff, turns inside out, and sucks that wand in, and devours it

Wait wait wait okay, I’m probably being real fucking dumb here and forgetting shit since it’s been a while since I listened, but weren’t they fighting like, conjurations? Made by all the fog and manikins? There was an actual wand?? Or more specifically, the Jerkins (Damn it-) counted as an actual wizard that was defeated?? I’m sure there was something said that I’ve forgotten like a goof, but whaaat?

-

SHARK TANK HOO HA HA-

-

Clint: All right! Here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to cast Divination.

Griffin: Okay!

Clint: This puts me in touch with a god or god’s servant, so in this case, Pan. I get to ask a single question-

Griffin, sounding way too overjoyed: Ohoo this is perfect, thank you. This is a gift.

If I’ve learnt anything while listening to this masterpiece of a podcast, especially during this arc, it’s that a happy sounding Griffin is never a good thing

-

Clint: I’m of no use as long as my powers aren’t working!

Griffin: Yeep!

Travis, amused: And so to combat that, you use one of your powers!

Griffin: You-you pray-

Clint: Travis, I am- Merle is a deeply spiritual character (*que incredulous Travis laughter*)

Clint: And in times of need, he turns to his God for guidance!

Griffin: Okay. Hit him up-

Travis: Like any good religious person, when he needs something.

Travis isn’t showing any mercy rn and in doing so, he’s fucking murdering me

Also Clint's talking to Pan voice is amazing, but it’s not as amazing as Griffin's “I know something you don’t right now but I'm going to play along with it for now because I'm an agent of chaos ; )” voice

-

Griffin: He’s just not there, he’s not there supporting you with holy power, he’s just-he's just gone

So what he’s out for smoko or something?

Real talk though, wheres Merle's homeboy at? Is this a Wonderland thing where there’s bad connection, or is it something else? Merle's cleric magic has been consistently wonky, but it’s still been working, so Pan couldn’t just be g o n e like Griffin delightedly revealed, other wise Merle probably wouldn’t of been able to cast any of his shit at all right? ((I assume, I confess I’m not exactly the most knowabable about Clerics-)) So this has gotta be a Wonderland thing, right? Unless Pan legit is just, out drinking with the mates, but from memory, didn’t Merle catch him at a bad time before during Crystal Kingdom?

... damn I need to relisten to shit

Wait okay, Griffin just said “less and less well”, so yes, Merle's shit is slowly getting worse n worse. Is it just gonna be McGone like Pan near the end of this? I’m curious to see what that means for Clint and how he'll deal with things if that’s the case

-

Griffin: What the Fuck's Cam gonna cast?

I was about to make a comment about that being a new smash hit graphic novel title, but I’m now too busy laughing at Griffin loosing his dice off the table

Feel ya there bud, feel ya there

-

Griffin: -you see a potted plant appear, and then a guillotine, and then a marble column, and then a coat rack, and then nothing.

Legit, what the fUcK is Mr Red Robe doing over there, and can I be invited because it sounds like they’re having my kind of party right now

-

Travis: Yeah! In fact, I am! Um, like listen, at this point, the magic people seem to have this shit down. All I’m gonna do is, what? Hit a tank with my axe? No no no. I’m gonna do what Magnus does best and go pull the arms off some things.

Actualy Travis, I would very much like to see Magnus hit the tank with his Axe, but I confess that that is not something I want to happen with Magnus's best interests in mind

-

Travis: I'm gonna pull the arms off, maybe throw the bodies at the tank-

That’s absolutely feral, I love it

[nightcorecommentarchives]

NightcoreReality

Nightcore - Wonderland

A: Anyone else feel like making a story based on the picture and song?

B: Now that you mention it.....yeah I do

C: One step ahead of ya bro~ writes fan fiction on wattpad ah aha~

D: Steam-punk alice in wonderland maybe?

A: I was thinking, maybe a futuristic love story where fairy tales are outdated and not even children are fooled by them. But, a girl starts to doubt it when she finds herself in a relationship that seems like a fairy tale. Doesn't have much to do with Alice in Wonderland, but it seems to fit the lyrics to me.

E: @A i would watch it.

F: @E that... Sounds pretty cool. And your grammar was pretty good, just need to put commas here and there. :)

E: or something like:

a dystopian society where the governement tries to control everyone by creating illusional "fairy tale" character thru media. In this a girl begins to start questioning the way the people are made mediafocussed when she becomes involved in a war between humans and alien, who dress like fairy tale characters. and because of this, it becomes clear that the governement is lead by aliens who make use of humans by pretending they have a good life because of the fairy tale stuff and so on. and then they start to fight. with action. and explosions. and a protagonist who starts as a little weak character who becomes a lead person in the human resistance force. Does this sound good?

And sry if i did big grammar mistakes. It's late as fuck here and it is not my native language. Gomen! ;_;

E: @F tyu :3

A: @F Much better than anything that I could come up with! :)

E: k, i will start writing... x3 <3

G: Am i the only one that thought jadas idea was way more refined? Like guys I dont wanna hate on Mirror but his story idea seems like a generic dystopian. Jadas idea would be great. As the story progresses she could use the past stories to help her get through trials as most fairy tales have some moral to take away from.

H: Anyone here heard of alice is dead? Here's the link to the game: www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/511552

I: @H HOW DO I WIN?! I HAVE NO IDEA

J: my story for this might be a bit too crazy but here is what i am thinking oh and i cant spell well so good luck in reading my idea

The girl is actualy an artuficial intelligence seand through a teleport to see if it works but the teleport malfunctions and instead of sending her to where she was ment to be sends her in a dimension much like ours but in it our fairy tails are real and she also gets free will letting her be more then just a machine.

for now this is what i came up with you tell if its good or not

NCA note: @K’s comment is lost.

A: @K

Wow! This actually was really good! I may just be biased, but I can't really find anything to criticize. The rationality pill was actually a good excuse, considering I couldn't come up with a better one. I actually almost laughed when she asks who Fairy Tales was! Overall, it was very good for a whole short story made from a vague concept! I'd definitely want to read a whole book based on it.

A: I'm so happy this escalated to almost being a real thing! Inspiring whole short stories with only a simple starting concept... this is too much power for one girl.

L: What about chapter storys?

M: @A My idea is this, sorry if it's sucky guys: In a world not so fond of fairytales, metaphors, and things along that line, a girl still enjoys reading all the greek mythology and fictional stories. But this girl suffers a severe disorder that causes her to see things nobody else sees. One late afternoon, cozyied up in her broken down house, something catches her attention. She's not the only one seeing the world differently. Desperate and curios to spread her new finding, she starts a blog on what she's experienced with this... disorder. The government (corperation thing, ect) sees what she's doing. Captured mid afternoon of a humid saterday, The president of the united states is controling the world to make them see it differently, or what we call regualarly. But this different world, this facinating world that this girl sees is the real world. Scared, fearful, and desperate to tell the community, she tries to escape the hellhole of the place. Seeking a way out, she is pulled farther and farther into her disorder, which happened not to be a disorder. The disorder fully kicks in. In a world of upside down houses and a large variety of talking objects, she tries to find her way out of the imagenary world. When a portal is found, she finds the connection of the real world and fake. Being the creative girl she was, she made a device that made her able to switch from the real world and the fake world. Jumping portals with a portal backpack and devieces over her body, she finds love that seems much like the ones out of the book. Trying to convince people they were living in a fake world while wearing something that made her look like a nerd going to comicon, but she finds people who belive her. One of them catches her eye. Her fairytale boy. Her beast. Her prince charming. Her new life of making people belive the truth of the world also brings her closer to her new group of friends, and that one boy (or girl, I don't judge, lol). Her belivers expand and expand. Her fight against the whole united states and the president himself will be hard, but only the greatest heroes can stop this brainwashing crisis all together. An action packed adventure full of magic and action, love and angst, and a thrilling plot that will leave you drooling for more. There we go, my idea

E: @M i fucking love it already. Its like a mix out of Matrix and spirited away. would definitely watch it! <3

M: @E dude, maybe Me, you, and @A should like mix all of are plots together and make this an actual book or movie, I have lots of experience in writing!

E: @M well...i...have none... :-( Thats why this text sounded so nice in my head!

A: I'm okay at writing, I don't claim to be an expert, but I can pump out an improvised 2,000+ chapter of something in a few hours. But, your ideas fantastic, and the most detailed I've seen so far! I really want to be a part of it!

E: @A  Thank you for this compliment man! Maybe i could write too, but my english is way too bad to write something that can create emotions while reading as much as e.g. Dosish's one... Lets just all write in german and its k. x)

A: I'm warning everyone now, my writing(especially when I was younger) tends to be filled with purple prose. It's at it's worst during emotional scenes.

N: @A what do u mean purple prose?

M: @A dude, with all of are skills together, this could really make a good book!

A: @N It's when someone goes overboard on descriptions of something. Using unnecessarily long and fancy words to describe something that should only take one sentence to explain.

For example: It was a dark and stormy night.

Purple Prose version: The moon was nowhere in sight, it's vivid light hidden behind thick, gigantic, charcoal clouds. The stars themselves were invisible, leaving the night sky a particularly dark shade of obsidian. A burst of electricity dashed through the sky, leaving a flash of pure, bright white light in it's wake. Transparent drops of water rained down from the obscuring storm clouds. Falling upon whoever was unfortunate enough to be under it.

(Sorry if I made your brain hurt with that eye sore. XD)

M: @A Oh, and I started a graphic organizer, tell me when you want to see it

A: I’ll love to see it!

N: and the Purple Prose is nice idk why anyone would consider it bad

@A dude I say you 3 write the story, @M does the graphics and ill edit. it could be a summer project lol

A: Quick update on the story: I'm brainstorming about it, and thinking back at  @K's version, I like the idea of her being in a relationship with another girl. Although, the song implies that she's talking to a boy. I don't want to make it a big deal, so there won't be a subplot like, everyone's against their same sex love. It's the future after all. I also might consider the idea of everyone being under "rationality pills" which would explain why fairy tales are now non-sense to them. Any suggestions? I want everyone to get in on this!

A: @N

Late reply, but Purple prose isn't bad in moderation. It just takes too long to get to the point, and new readers won't have the patience to sit through it. But, that's a great idea!

K: The wonderful part of the story is how open the world is, if you want to totally lift the world and themes go nuts. You can even use the chars, though having the Alice I created go through the same thing twice is kinda weird. And no one is "Against " same sex, it just doesn't benefit people since love is non-existent. Therefor Ration blocks feeling like that out.

O: I'd seriously love to read this story when its done

M: Well I mean, I have lots of freetime on my hands, maybe I can write the base or the first chapter and people edit it.

N: @M sounds good, books by many authors are normally good

M: (Link to chapter 1)

Press Rewind

Summary: Spidey pays reader a visit after saving her... Three times.

Warnings: make out session?

Based On: Young and Menace by Fall Out Boy

A/N: FALL OUT BOY RULED THE WORLD WITH THIS SONG I’M JUST AAAAAAAAAAAA

    I was getting ready for bed. An avengers pajama hugging my body and keeping me comfy at the same time. I had just brushed my teeth and was staring at my reflection in the mirror. Remembering everything that happened this last month. I almost died... Three times.

    The first time was stupid. I was on the roof of my building, and while deep in my thoughts, I didn’t realize how close to the edge I’ve gotten until I lost my balance and fell. But before I could proceed what had happened, two strong arms caught me and put me back on my feet. I was so shocked that I couldn’t see who it was. But I did catch a glimpse of a red and blue figure swinging by buildings.

    The second time, my mom had asked me to got to the bank, and obviously in that day a group decided it was a good day for robbery. As I was hidden behind a desk with a kid who had gotten lost from his dad we hear gun shots. The little boy hugged me harder. Then everything went silence.

“It’s okay now, you can go” A voice said and we looked up.

“W-Who are you?” I ask.

“I’m your friendly neighbourhood-”

“Spider man!” The little boy squeals.

“That’s right! High five, kid” They clap hands “Now go, get out of here” The little boy ran to the door. I hesitate.

“W-Wil you be okay?”

“Yeah... Now go!” I start walking to the door “And stay away from roofs!” He shouts and I smile.

    The third time, there was having an attack on the street. I was stuck in a comic store. I saw a car flying through the window. It would hit us, but it never did.

“Hey beautiful”

“S-Spider man?”

“The fight is over, you all can go” He said to the other costumers in the store “I’ll take you home, just to make sure you’re safe” He grabbed my waist and took me back to my house swinging.

    It was stupid to daydream about a superhero who I didn’t even know who really was? Maybe. But, hey, I couldn’t help it. I am eighteen, it was normal to fall in love with unreachable guys, right?

    As I walk toward my bed I hear a soft ‘tud’ from outside my window in the porch. I put on a robe and go to check what it was.

“H-Hey!” He stutters.

“H-Hey, spidey, what’s up? I promise I’ve been a good girl and didn’t get myself in danger this week” He chuckles.

“I know that, just came to see if you were okay”

“Oh... Y-Yeah I’m- I’m good!”

“Great! I-I better get goin-” He turns around.

“Wait!” He freezes “You already saved me three times and I never got the chance to properly thank you”

“O-Oh!... Okay”

“Why don’t you come inside? It’s cold out there”

    I take a step back and he does come inside. I wasn’t expecting that. A part of me was screaming of happiness and the other was frozen in nervouness.

“Uhmm... I don’t even know where to start!” I chuckle “I can’t even believe that you’re actualy in my room, is this another dream?”

“Have you had dreams about me?”

“W-Well... Yeah, you saved me three times... You’re my knight in shining armour”

“It’s a privilege, my lady” I giggle as he bows down.

“You’re awesome...” I say after giggling. It came out as a loud thought.

“And you’re beautiful...” He replies as quietly as I said.

    I bite my lips and lower my head down as to hide my blush. Did I hear well? My favorite superhero just called me beautiful?

“Can I- Can I kiss you?” He asks just above a whisper in a stuttering mess.

“Y-Yeah! Of course” I answer nervously.

    His hand reach for his scalp. He pulls up the mask so just his lips are exposed, and oh God, what beautiful lips he had. I smile a bit before leaning in slowly, he seems just as nervous as I am, I feel his itchy breath against my skin. When our lips touched it was a pure bliss. His plumps lips were soft and tasted like peppermint and strawberry mixed. Our lips moved along against each other in a slow pace, as we both wanted to savour all of this moment.

    We pulled apart slowly too. I smile and bite my lower lip as if to let myself know that what just happened was real. He kept frozen still but after a while he breaks into a smile too.

“That was...” He starts.

“The best kiss I’ve ever had” I giggle after speaking.

“Does that mean that... If I wanted to kiss you again...”

“I wouldn’t complain about it” I whisper and he smiles again.

    We both lean in to connect our lips together once more. This time, it was a little bit more heated as we kissed with a certain urgency. My hands found their way to his jaw, and when I did that he gripped my waist and lies me down on the mattress. Things were happening too fast? Hell yeah! But I didn’t mind, I was making out with my favorite hero! When would I have this chance again? Maybe never, so I was trying to enjoy my best from this.

    At some point, as my hands are messing with some of his hair that came out of the mask, he undo the belt of my robe and take it off.

“Avengers pajama?” He chuckles after seeing what I’m wearing “God, you’re too precious, you might be my soulmate if that thing exists”

    Before I could reply he’s crashing his lips against mine, making me smile into the kiss. We kept making out in a steady pace, from time to time getting heated but soon enough coming back to the gentle and tender kisses. We spend almost a whole half an hour just kissing each other and enjoying the feeling of our bodies fitting one another.

“You have school tomorrow, Y/N, we should stop” He says pulling apart and resting our foreheads together. I frown, I’ve never told him my name. If Spiderman knows who I am, might I know who he is?

“S-Sorry... I got a little carried away by the moment” I stutter and he smiles.

    I gently trace my fingertips on his - now red and swollen - lips. Mine should be just the same. I was trying to memorize the shape of his lips and the little frackles he have here and there. He take my wrists on his hands, planting a small kiss on the top of each of my fingertips. I giggle lightly, adoring how lovingly he was treating me and wishing he wouldn’t go.

“Good night, bug” I smile at the sudden nickname.

    He jumps off of me and goes to the window. I follow behind. Before he flies off, he stays hanging upside down and steals me another kiss.

“Will I see you again?” I ask lowly and a bit embarassed.

“If you wish so” He answers charmly, making me smile, before pulling his mask on and swinging off with his webs around the city. I couldn’t wait to tell my friends tomorrow about what just happened.

“Ned! Ned!” I shouted through the halls for my best guys friend. He was talking with Peter Parker, who ran off when he saw me.

“Hey, Y/N!” He greets me when I stop in front of him.

“Did I interupt something?” I motion my head to where Peter ran.

“Oh! No! He’s just weird like that!” I bite my lips nodding, brushing off thoughts of Peter and trying to remember last nights events so I could tell him.

“You’re not gonna believe what happened last night” I say excited like a little girl.

“What?”

“Spiderman paid me a visit!”

“What?!”

“And that’s just not it! H-He said that... He said that he thought I was beautiful and precious? A-And... I don’t know” I scoffed nervously and smiling like a doof “We kissed, and it was amazing! And...”

“Wait! What?!?”

STORY TIME BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO START THE STROY

there are like many ways to start this story, MANY OPTIONS of how I can possibly go about prolonging this. I suppose in that Youtube-r trend where they clickbait the CRAP and have a vague title that encompasses like, none of the actual story, I’ll do that

Except my end to the story is better than how I start, bUT BASICALLY

I CRIED IN THE NIKE OUTLET ON FRIDAY

let me set the stage for you all:

So on Friday I went to lunch with some of my friends at this cheap af japanese resturant that one of our church families own and it’s dope. it’s so good. they give us free gyoza all the time, I can get a plate of like sushi variation that super filling for 10 bucks, it’s a great time, i love it but that’s not even relevant to the rest of the story, i just want to point out how great it is

AFTERWARDS, we decide to go to the outlets, because they’re like, into shoes, and wanted to go to the outlets and get cheap(er) Nikes, and it took like 20 minutes to get there because my friend missed a turn and what should have been a seven minute drive, turned into +11 more minutes, but WE MADE IT. THE SUN WAS SHINING IN THE CAR AND IT WAS THE PERFECT WEATHER FOR NAPPING, but I didn’t nap. Because we had a mission: Go to the Nike Outlets (well, they did, i was just there because i had nothing ebtter to do in the afternoon and i was bored)

We arrive into the outlets, and I was reminded why I shop at Ross and discount stores beCAUSE BOI I SAW A PAIR OF RUNNING PANTS FOR 149$ AND WHY DO THYE NEED TO CHRAGE THAT MUCH. NIKE HAS A CHEAP LABOR PROCESS, THEY EXPLOIT FACTORIES IN THIRD-WORLD COUNTIRES, WHY ARE YOUR RUNNING LEGGINGS SO EXPENSIVE

So I was like ‘screw this’ and went to go bother my friends. one of them was trying on Nikes that our Resident Shoe Expert picked out, “FOR FUNSIES” and one ended up looking super dope on her and she went through the Buyer  Decision Process of if she should get them and it turned into “TREAT YOSELF IT’S FRIDAY” and equal parts “THEY’RE MARKED DOWN NEARLY HALF THEIR PRICE, BE A GOOD CHINESE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS DEAL” and the decision was made: she would BUY THEM

so our other two friends went off to look at the racks a little more and be couple-ly (they’re a couple) so I accompanied my friend in line for her purchase because looking at the racks reminds me of The Money I Don’t Have

We’re in line and a couple of us needed to be at my church by 4, and it was 3:57. I just needed to pick stuff up, I needed to ofically be there later, but I didn’t want to mess-up the time (I also needed to meet with a friend who needed a dog-walker, at it was at 6, so I wanted to make sure none of my engagements overlapped)

So I whipped out my phone, double checked my email of what time I needed to be places, and all was well. And I was like “Oh woops, I haven’t checked my email in like, a little over a day I should probably check”

By this time my friend and I are like only 4-5 people away from being called to the register (THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE IN THE OUTLET RIGHT NOW) and there’s like 5 registers, so we were bound to be called ASAP

I’m looking, and sorting through my junk mail amongst things I actualy need to read, and then I see

(but in mobile, I’m to lazy to actually do that)

AND I FREEZE.

CONGRATULATIONS?? I was like (in my mind)

WAIT DID I WIN SOMETHING

I’ve been getting annual pass holder emails (oh btw i got an AP because i make Smart Financial Decisions) about assorted things maybe i won something

bUT IT SAYS COLLEGE PROGRAM

I DIDN’T GET IN

DID I

NO, THIS ISN’T REAL

BUT IT’S FROM THE DCP RECRUTING EMAIL AND IT SAYS DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM AND CONGRATULATIONS

IT-... IT CAN’T BE

and this is all taking place in my mind in the course of 5 seconds, and I am starting to shake

WE ARE 3 PEOPLE AWAY FROM BEING CALLED TO PURCHASE

I CLICK ON THE EMAIL AND I’M GREETED WITH THIS (in mobile form)

I had to read these three subs at least 3 titmes to realize that it was real

my hand like, flew to my mouth to keep from reverting from 21 to 12, and my eyes scan it over and over

“oh my gosh, oh mY GOHS

OH MY GOSH”

And my friend turns to me and shes like 

“kim what are you doing”

and i look at her, and I look back at my phone (to make sure it still wawsn’t a lie)

and i’m like “

i got in”

and she was like, “you got in...? you got in.. OH YM GOD YOU GOT INTO DISNEY OH MY GOD CONGRATS”

AND IW AS LIKE I GOT IN

AND WE PROCEEDED TO EXCLAIM THAT LIKE 10 MORE TIMES

and I’m just like, not processing it, “oh my goodnes, OH YM GOODNESS, GOD OPENED A DOOR, I’M GOING TO BE WORKING AT DISNEYLAND, I GOT ACCEPTED I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF” AND SHE HUGGED ME

There were TEARS IN MY EYES, GUYS

PEOPLE WERE STARING, I’M SURE (i’m positive) AND WE WERE DEFINITELY MAKING A SCENE BUT W/E

I WAS SHAKING. i was still holding my phone, my hand not still, and I’m still like reading it, and my hand still over my mouth in disbelief

and thenw e get called but I Can’t Deal so I walked past the line to buy and was like, trying to process it

and the our other two friends look over and they see me and they’re like “what’s wrong?”

and we go through the same process and I’M EMOTIONAL AND SHOOK

And then our friend who bought her shoes comes back and she’s like

“kIM, when I got to the cashier was was like

‘so... did you friend win the lottery...? or something??’”

And she told him “aha! something like that”/

SO TLDR, I’M GONNA WORK FOR DISNEY GUYS AND ONE OF MY DREAMS HAS ACTUALLY COME TRUE I’M NOT EVEN KIDDING 

AND I’VE GOTTEN EMOTIONAL AOBUT IT LIKE, MULTIPLE TIMES (almost every time i’ve told people important to me, which has just been 3 times and the majority of my social circles still don’t know so this next week will be fun)

storytime over but i just need to blog and process how much this means to me

ANOTHER STORY, KINDA

I actually applied for the program 3 years ago exactly, in my second semester of college. In fact, if anyone following my blgo from back then remmebers, I blogged about it a bit, but not in depth.

it wasn’t so much i wanted to do it, but i wanted to see the process (and if i gotten accepted, i would sort that out later)

I WAS SO NERVOUS back then. but my interview went relatively well, except for one dumb question along the lines of “what if i was accepted and had to deny the position?”

LOOK I WAS 18 AND DUMB

and i’m convinvced that question killed my interview and chance to go, and I was actually a little bummed.

But there have been times in these past 3 years where I just was not satisfied with life and wa like “i coud have been at disney making magic for others now”

Looking back on it now, I’m so glad I never did.

The experiences I’ve been blessed with these past three years have honestly been some of the best of my life, and I enjoy who I am as a person much, MUCH more than who I used to be. And not even like, work experiences.

But leading my college fellowship, growing stronger in my faith, the friends i’ve madde, the memories i’ve made with them

It’s nothing short of grace and blessings.

Nearing graduation these passt few months E V E R Y O NE and their mom asks you “So what are your plans for after graduation?”

And as a Christian, I always think “God will provide” but it’s not something I actively think or pray about. I just assume without doing anything on my part, essentially taking advantage of that grace and assusmption.

So I soul-searched and was like “I need to get on my butt”

And the next day my pastor hooked me up with an interview with a reputable tech company that was looking for a recent marketing grad (I won’t say the company for sake of privacy and such and just in case, but it’s a popular micro sd card company in silicon valley, and i’ll leave it at that)

And I went through their interview process, and went to their campus and was interviewed by members of their marketing team, which I even blogged about once because I’m Really Qualified For Social Media Marketing But It’s All About The Gays

But something I didn’t mention was that I was just so.... unimpressed... with how unprofessional their process was.

My recruiter in their company had to reschedule me like, 3 different times, after I explicitly told him my available days. and would cancel on me the day before, and it took a full month to actually get me a date to come down to the campus

When I got there, my first interviewer out of 5 had called in sick, so he gave me a tour around the campus instead (it was super dope, and he was chill, i would like, grab a beer with him or something)

So the firwst guy that came in to talk to me was confused. He thought I was interviwing for a different position than what he was told.

And that was a common theme between the next two.

So long story short, my recruiter gave them the wrong job description for he position and they didn’t even realize they were looking to hire another marketer, so they were just trying to figure out where my abilities would fit into their team. Good conversations, and I got free fancy lunch, but it was just a mess (on their part)

and then my last guy was apparently on ANOTHER CAMPUS AT THE TIME so my recruiter said ‘yeah, you can go home early i’ll just reschedule”

(he never rescheduled. I even sent follow-up emails because I’m a Good Candidate)

Basically I said to people I would be 110% okay with not getting this position based on how they conducted this process.

And literalyl just thinking about it, if I did get in, I get a feeling of just... not sadness, but I jsut know I wouldn’t be happy there

It’s taken me like, 3 months of lying to myself until this past tuesday-thursday to be real with what I really want after graduation

But I realized I just... don’t want to work in that kind of enviornment. at least, not yet. I would have been in a cubicle (granted, i would be running around all day) but I honestly don’t think I would be happy having that kind of a job at this point in my life. It makes me feel too... constrained?

I realized that I was just automatically looking for this kind of job because like, well, I need a job, and I was like “I’LL TAKE ANYTHING” and partly because that’s just a stupid social construct that as a business major, working a job like this after graduation is kinda expected

So this apst week I was real to myself and was like 

“I don’t want that, but I don’t know what else to do and that scares me”

THE OTHER JOB I applied for at the same time as the other job was for the Disney College Program

And I’m a realist: I HONESTLY DID NOT THINK I WOULD GET IN.

I Thought I rambled too much in my interview (which, I’m sure you guys could easily imagine, because “Rambling Justification” and this entire blog is just me rambling, essentially), and this is a SUPER competitive process.

I applied for both Disneyland and DisneyWorld, ebcause BITHC I JUST WANTED TO BE IN DISNEY I WAS LIKE ‘I DON’T CARE WHERE JUST TAKE ME”

but realisitcally, if I has gotten accepted, I was 200% convinced I would get into DisneyWorld.

So research I’ve pulled online through the years

WDW acceptes around 7,000 to 12,000 applicants (out of like, probably 50,00+ total) and Disneyland accepts even less (because our park is much smaller)

apparently Disnelyand accepts around 300. Out of 50,00+

REALISITICALLY, I knew my chances for Disneyland were small. I was fully prepared If I got accpted to move across the country to florida.

And look, Florida had a higher rate, but BITHC DISNEYLAND IS MY HOME. iT’S WALT’S PARK IT’S WHERE I GREW UP AND WHEN I WALK INTO THE PARK NOW I FEEL AT HOME. 

But the chances were just so, SO small

And somehow, by grace, upon grace, upon grace, I’m going to be moving to Disneyland.

I can literalyl feel tears prickling the back of my eyes as I type this I crap you not

And just, being real to myself with what I want, praying about that, being real with God, He opened this door for me

The timing is just... so uncanny like, the day after I seriously talk and pray with God about this and am like “yo God i’m scared shitless I don’t know what you have planned I ahve no idea what i’m down”

and 20 hours later I’m crying in the Nike Outlet in disbelief

I just.... I Can’t, guys

I’m honestly getting emotional about it and it’s just...

I still have not fully processed or beleive it and I can’t be more grateful.

This opportunity means so much to me. For the sake of Disney, because I now have an chance to MAKE MAGIC FOR PEOPLE, because I KNOW in God’s timing this is where I’m supposed to be, because it just has reminded me of my Good God, BECAUSE THIS HAS BEEN MY DREAM. FOR YEARS

And I’m legit crying

I’m not a person who ‘dreams’ or has real ‘goals’ in life

I don’t like setting expectations for things, because I don’t like to be let down. I don’t like to fail.

I suppose this is honestly what it feels like to have your dream come true, and the emotions I am feeling are just... something I’ve never felt?? I never thought I could feel this way

Like, I’m excited, but like, not EXCITED EXCTIED LITTLE KID EXCITED

I’m just... in awe
