let’s talk racial micro aggressions, because i’ve been seeing a lot of them being used online toward people speaking out about racism and even in fandoms unfortunately, so i think it’s time we have a talk. this is gonna be a semi long one, so buckle up.
just for reference, im asian american. because of that i’ve gone my entire life experiencing racism and discrimination simple because im not white. of course, i have definitely had it better than a lot of people, but that doesn’t take away from my experiences at all. i grew up hating the way i looked, trying to fix myself because i genuinely thought something was wrong with me. this led to years and years of insecurity and self hatred. something i had to go through alone, because my family was white and i was too afraid to tell them how i felt. i was afraid they wouldn’t understand. it’s still something i struggle with, though it’s gotten better.
growing up, as stated before, i was around white people. growing up in a very white town, i unfortunately wasn’t formally educated on racism or what micro aggressions were, i just knew that certain comments made me uneasy and uncomfortable, and hurt my feelings. it wasn’t until i was older, when i started using social media that i really came to understand what all of this was. 
a lot of you who have white privilege are using it to uplift bipoc voices, and i think that’s great. however it’s also important to acknowledge that many people who are actively anti racist still have implicit biases, which can lead to microaggressions.
first of all, what are microaggressions? you may or may not be familiar with the term. if you’re not, that’s okay! you can use this post to educate yourself and make sure you don’t make these mistakes in the future. microaggressions are defined as brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioural, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any group, particularly culturally marginalized groups.
basically, intentional or unintentional derogatory and prejudice behaviors directed towards marginalized groups.
these are very harmful to marginalized groups, mostly because they’re not as blatant as outright racism, misogyny, homophobia, etc. this makes it often hard to detect, and you may have found yourself using micro aggressions at some point in your life. that’s not important though, what’s important is that, if you have used them in the past, you understand what you said or did was wrong, and that you learn from it.
now, what are specific racial micro aggressions? i’ve compiled a list of them under the cut, and explained why these are insulting and harmful to poc.
“where are you really from” – this insinuates that we will always be seen as foreigners, and not citizens to our own country. it brings on a feeling of not being good enough and that we will not be accepted. 
“not everything’s about race” – if you’re white stop telling bipoc how to feel about race. we are tired of it. please don’t speak over us when we are expressing our discomfort. if poc people are telling you something is racist, it’s racist. stop trying to argue with us, as you are not the ones being affected by it. 
“your food is so weird” – it’s only weird to you because it hasn’t been westernized or americanized. insisting that foreign foods are weird or gross because you aren’t used to it, is hurtful. it’s insulting. 
“all asians look the same” – by saying this, you’re taking away our individuality. asia is a huge continent, not all of us follow the same traditions and not all of us look the same. it’s not a funny joke, and it never has been. 
“you’re pretty for a *insert any race here*” – this is just such a backhanded compliment. it implies that we are not typically or conventionally pretty. it has the same negative connotations as saying “you’re really good...for a girl”. that’s misogynistic for the same reasons saying this is racist. 
“i don’t see color” – again, you’re basically erasing our individuality and culture and telling us we shouldn’t embrace it. many pocs even completely distance themselves from their cultures to seek white validation, which is in every sense of the word, upsetting. people want to fit in so bad that they’re willing to leave behind their entire culture. something that sucks about being adopted at such a young age from a white family, is that i have never had a connection with my culture. i know nothing about it, and that hurts. i rationalized in my head that the reason i didn’t learn about it sooner was because i was happy, but that was a lie i told myself for years. the sad thing is, is that because i wasn’t connected to my culture at all, i fit in better and had an easier time making friends then other pocs in my school. 
assuming all asian people are smart or good at math – stop. it’s not funny. never has been. the stereotype that all asians are smart is not a compliment, and puts a lot of pressure on us as individuals. it objectifies us, assuming we are more like machines and not actual people. long story short, it’s dehumanizing. 
“im not/cant be racist i have black friends” – contrary to popular belief, yes you can be. you can still have a racial bias while being friends with bipoc people. being associated with poc people doesn’t suddenly mean you’re not racist. you may even make racist jokes and think it’s okay because they don’t tell you to stop. just because they are seemingly unbothered does not mean it’s not still racist. a lot of times we are uncomfortable in situations like that, but are too afraid to speak up in fear of our feelings being invalidated or being told to lighten up because it’s just a joke. saying we’re too sensitive when it comes to making mockeries of our races and cultures, is also a micro aggression. 
saying “you people” or “y’all” when talking, usually negatively, about a person of a specific race – you’re generalizing an entire group because of one bad experience which is just contributing to the stereotypes and racism we face daily. one or a few bad interactions with a person of a different race does not speak for an entire population.
clutching your bag tight when a poc person, usually black or latinx, stands next to you or following them in the store – the way i still have to explain this one in 2020. they are not criminals, but by doing this, you’re contributing to the stereotype that they are all criminals and thugs, which simply isn’t true. this stereotype is very damaging and harmful, as it also contributes to the systematic oppression of those people. 
assuming someone only got a certain job or position because they’re bipoc – this insinuates that we did not work hard to get where we are, and that we did not deserve what we got. we simply got it because we aren’t white. affirmative action comes up a lot in this conversation. all affirmative action does is help decide between equally qualified people by favoring the ones who suffer from discrimination in society, but it does not reserve spots for them.
assuming someone knows how to speak mandarin because they’re asian – asia is a large continent with A LOT of languages and cultures. not everyone is chinese. not everyone speaks the same language. it’s insulting and adds to the already hurtful stereotype that all asians look the same.
“you speak english really well” or “how did you learn to speak english so well” – it’s called practicing because people have been making fun of those with accents for years, simply because they are not used to it. being surprised when a poc speaks english well implies that you may think because they’re not white, they are less educated. we’ve simply assimilated because our cultures are constantly rejected and mocked by white people and even other pocs. this also contributes to the notion that westerners are more “civilized” or that they are better, because they(generally speaking this obviously doesn’t apply to everyone)make no effort to learn our cultures, but we have to learn theirs in order to be seen as “acceptable”.
“but *insert race* are racist too” or pointing out immoral things other countries do when people of that race speak up about racism - you’re redirecting the conversation to avoid responsibility. you don’t actually care about those issues, you just want to invalidate our struggles by pointing out that a place many of us have not been to in a long time, or ever, is very flawed. we have no say in what that government chooses to do. not all places are a democracy, and many democracies around the world are flawed.
something important to remember is that anyone can be guilty of implicit bias and micro aggressions. this is not selective to one race. 
if you have anymore of these, please feel free to add on. also, if you’re a poc and something i wrote made you uncomfortable, please tell me. i want to make sure im being truthful with what i said. i did do research for some of these, and some were based on personal experiences, but if you want to add to something or you want me to change or delete something do not hesitate to call me out. 
unfortunately they and other racial stereotypes are very prevalent in american media, which has normalized it in our society. this post is solely meant to educate if you weren’t previously aware of the dangers micro aggressions have on minorities. i started the list because i was tired of seeing so much normalized racism online, but i hope you learned something useful with this. if you stuck around this long, thank you for listening. i appreciate it a lot. 
as for my zutara fans, i apologize for making so many rant posts rather than posting incorrect quotes. i just feel like im able to reach a larger audience with the platform i have on this account than any other one. 
anyway, that’s all. thank you again for listening :)

About the Jace hate, I do get your point and it’s valid, Jace is an ass and arrogant and Clary makes some really stupid decisions.
In the first books they were pretty stupid but I do feel there’s quite a lot of character development for the both of them. I’m talking about The Dark Artifices series and not The Mortal Instruments of course. They grow up and they become adults with an institute to run so they have a responsibility now.
Jace is less arrogant and he kinda settles down with Clary because to him there’s nobody else anymore besides Clary.
The Alec hate I do not get at all. I mean, I know he gets the stereotypical jealous part but again, in the later books he’s just a badass. The whole red scrolls of magic and lost book of the white is just Malec being BAMFS. And Alec becomes Consul which makes him so powerful and he uses the title to change the Clave for the Downworld and for all the Shadowhunters like him.
Book and show Malec are just * chefs kiss *
i mean, look, ur entitled to ur opinion and all, but i rlly dont think this is something ur gonna change my mind on, so id rather not get into that discussion tbh 🤷 like u wont change my mind (and thats fine, like ive said before, my opinion doesnt actually matter unless u choose to care about it and that's why i throw it around) and i probably wont change urs, so
with that being said im gonna reply to ur points anyway because i cant fucking help myself and well, it is my blog after all. i tried to not be aggressive but i do have pretty strong opinions on this topic so there's that
u dont have to read it cuz like i said i dont think we'll change each other's minds and i think we're just gonna end up upsetting each other tbh, so im putting it under the cut
idk about becoming less arrogant but to me what drives me crazy about both jace and clary is that they are selfish and self centered and i just cant stand that. and the fact that there's no one else for him but clary is pretty much an extension of that. to me their relationship is just them joining forces to become an unit and be self centered together lmao
and the fact that they're running an institute doesn't inherently change that at all. tbh even if it did, giving them an institute to run when they are only learning to be responsible for other ppl is exactly the kind of shit i hate and can't stand about the both of them and cc's writing. if they aren't responsible enough, they should never have gotten it, and the fact that they did and accepted is just more proof that they only care about themselves and are entitled and have everything handed to them on a silver platter
as for alec, he became consul because jace nominated him, so i dont see that as a point in his favor. and even in the later books he is constantly incompetent at basic things and that is used as the butt of a joke, like him being literally unable to speak in other languages because he gets too nervous and doesn't know which language is which or that whole bullshit "hero of the war coming through!" "oh it's not jace herondale, it's just some guy" or alec's own kid liking jace more than alec himself lmao. and there's more i don't remember but like... i dont think book!alec is a badass in any way shape or form, he is incompetent and keeps being carried on everyone else's shoulders and also has positions i dont think he deserves or ever did
also him using his position to help downworlders and everyone loving him for it is a white savior narrative so it's gross for entirely different reasons, and the fact that that's pretty much all he has going for him is proof that cc can only make a gay character relevant if its a result of his whiteness (or in that case shadowhunterness which is really just magical whiteness), which circles back to other anon's point about her rep being terrible
most importantly tho, even if book!alec were a badass i still would never like him or book!malec solely because of the way he treats magnus
im not even just talking about the whole "trying to take magnus' immortality away" bullshit (which in and of itself is a complete dealbreaker for book!malec for me. they could have the best relationship in the world other than that and i still would never ever ever be able to ship a couple in which one of the parts is so openly selfish and disregards the other part's consent and literal LIFE like this. idc how young alec was, he was old enough to know exactly what he was doing, and if he's too immature to respect his partner he shouldn't be in a relationship, full stop) but also... everything else. if i wanted to see a white gay man being biphobic and racist to his brown bi partner i would simply go check out the closest abusive relationship in my area. the constant jealousy slutshaming and overall immaturity is just gross and annoying and the fact that magnus puts up with that shit at all makes me sad for him, even if he's also a creep so i don't really care about him either
and like this is not a book vs show thing, it's not a competition and in most fandoms of adapted works ppl like both and merge both together. i would be perfectly capable of liking both, and tbh the only reason i even tried picking up the books at all was because i liked the show and wanted more content. i don't hate the books because i like the show, i hate the books because.... of the books igrsssfhh

BSD Chapter 82
Chapter’s name: The Strongest Ally.
The story continues with Fukuchi Ouchi this time, after he was invited to lead a new army in the previous chapter. We get to see more interesting sides of him and Ranpo. Also, Atsushi would make a perfect subordinate assistant to Ranpo lol.
Tumblr media
Neither English nor Japanese is my native language so I do make mistakes here and there. If you happen to find any mistakes, please let me know. I would really appreciate it. It’s always painfully embarrassing to find one lol, but I will try my best to learn from it and improve my translation 😊
SPOILERS AHEAD and it’s LONG!
- In a moving man-made island called Standard Island (yes it is the island in 55 Minutes), the members of the United Nations Security Council are having a meeting about the “Supranational Armed Security Forces” (mentioned in the previous chapter). They are going to vote on if the forces should be formed or not, but the majority of them doubt the feasibility of this option. Many of them think it is impossible, some are scheming to use it as an excuse to crush or steal other countries’ resources. The chair of the meeting then invites Fukuchi Ouchi, the commander of the new force to come into the meeting room to have a few words.
- Upon him entering the room, it turns out he is super famous and is known as the legendary hero. He and his team have fought the werewolves in Kenya, stopped the refugees slaughter in Africa, defeated the semi-immortal skill user called WASP after a 50-hour-straight battle, and prevented the vampires infection incident in Southern Europe. His story has been adapted into movies 3 times and such (even though he said that they dramatized it quite a lot) and everyone in the meeting room wants to have his autograph.
- Fukuchi explains why he declined the offer to join as the commander at first. It is because: he is so hung-over the words cant get to his head at all. He then states two reasons he changed his mind. First one is the medicine he received was so effective that he felt super good and decided to buy a whole shelf of it for future use. The second reason is, if things keep going like this, the world will be destroyed.
- Fukuchi gets serious and starts talking about how naïve the members are, for not knowing that the danger is coming so close. At the beginning of the meeting, the chair stated that the war has already started, but Fukuchi believes they are already losing. For example, the building they are in might have been set with so many explosions enough to blow them all up. The world has changed and Fukuchi mentions that the current method cannot protect it anymore. He says that The Decay of Angels is the enemy that they have never fought before and they are planning to destroy the world by a method that they might not even imagine. And that everyone needs not to sit there and wait to die, but to fight. So what they need is a new type of army that will have the rights to control all the other existing forces in the world, and has the authority to enter and investigate in even independent territories like the Sky Casino. Fukuchi ends his talk by saying that the name “Supranational Armed Security Forces” is very tacky and suggests changing it into “Human Force” – the spear that pierce through all kind of evils in this world.
- Fukuchi comes back to his office and finds Ranpo already waiting for him there. He gives Ranpo 5 minutes to speak and they start greeting each other. Ranpo mentions that the first time they meet was at the celebration party of the ADA. And that was a horrible day because Fukuchi got drunk and made a mess of the party. He even broke all the signboards that were set up that day. Ranpo says he himself only gets really irritated like once in 10 years, but that day was exactly the day he felt like that. Fukuchi becomes so embarrassed he gave Ranpo 2 extra minutes. But Ranpo says that he already forgave Fukuchi because right after the party, Fukuzawa told him about how reliable Fukuchi, his childhood friend, is, and that Fukuchi might have been upset because Fukuzawa found his life’s path before him. And the reason Ranpo came here, is also because Fukuzawa has ordered him to come meet, and team up with Fukuchi.
- Ranpo explains that The Decay of Angels are planning to destroy the world 6 days later so before that they have to find Kamui and steal the page from him. Fukuchi immediately realizes that Ranpo has been waiting until he made his previous speech to appear (he refers to Ranpo as “Fukuzawa’s beloved child” here :3). Fukuchi says that its boring because he expected Ranpo to come to him with a super negotiation technique that can shake his reasonings. But in fact Ranpo comes with no proofs, no materials, nothing. He then wonders why Ranpo can stupidly think that he won’t kill him right there. To which, Ranpo replies that he doesn’t know at all. Even though he can deduce Fukuchi’s reactions, or try to persuade him with his psychological technique, he chooses not to do so. He simply believes in Fukuchi because Fukuzawa believes Fukuchi too. Fukuchi’s standard might be justice, but Ranpo’s standard is to always look at the same direction as Fukuzawa. With that, Fukuchi is persuaded and decided to go with Ranpo.
- They came to a ship that is waiting at the dock, where Atsushi is waiting for them. They get on board and Fukuchi tells them to watch their step so that they won’t be found out by the guards. Atsushi is pretty nervous to see Fukuchi because he is the leader of the Hunting Dogs and is the one who decides the fate of ADA now. But Ranpo is super casual around and even mocks him as an “uncool middle-aged uncle” for having to worry about the guards even though he is called a hero.  Atsushi freaks out and tells Ranpo to watch his words but Fukuchi laughs and says he doesn’t mind, because he knows Ranpo is just jealous with him. The truth is Ranpo has been with Fukuzawa 13 years, but that does not even measure to half of the time Fukuchi spent with Fukuzawa, so Ranpo will hardly ever catchs up with him. Fukuchi keeps calling Ranpo a brat, which he doesn’t like at all. Atsushi thinks to himself that this is the first time he saw Ranpo like this.
- While they are walking inside the ship, Atsushi asks Ranpo who is Kamui. Ranpo tells him not to rush, because Fukuzawa’s order says: Join force with the Hound Dogs, and after that use the military’s secret files to find out who Kamui is.  (And Ranpo plans to perfectly follow that order lol). Atsushi reminds Ranpo that, even without the secret files, Ranpo can still find out who Kamui is because he has “that”. Ranpo takes out his glasses but then says that it’s impossible because he cannot mess up the priority of his work, but also hints that there is still a way to make him change his mind. Atsushi immediately takes out a bottle of ramune (he always carry one with him whenever he works with Ranpo just in case), and that is enough to buy Ranpo (lol). He puts on his glasses saying it’s pretty boring to be looked down by an old uncle and tells Atsushi to keep it a secret from Fukuzawa.
 And… that’s it. Translating this chapter makes my head hurt lol. But it’s pretty interesting to see the relationship between Ranpo and Fukuchi. I wonder if Ranpo will be able to tell who Kamui in the next chapter. Anyway, thank you for reading till the end :3

Loving Din X - Thunder Only Happens When It’s Raining
Pairing: Mandalorian/Din Djarin x Reader
Summary: Finally reunited with your love Din and your sweet green bean Baby, life on the island isn’t what you were expecting.
*Whilemina & Stark are your parents
Warnings: ANGST, lengthy depictions of depression/hopelessness
“Listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost”
The wind tries to push the door open with more force than you expected and you catch it before it slams into the wall, heart racing as the sound would have probably made you fall a part. You pull the door closed behind you and press your back against it. The wind whipping your hair behind you as tears fill your closed eyes and your mind tries to drown in the sound of the crashing waves, the whirling wind. Anything. You want to drown in anything.
The wind is warm and it hugs you in your loneliness and you wish you could make yourself move. To run as far away as your feet will take you. Until they are raw and red with blood, and you’ve forgotten your name. But you’re gripping the door to the bungalow as if it is the only thing keeping you from falling off the edge of the universe.
You were once overjoyed with the thought of being reunited with Din & Baby. To live together again, in the warmth and sunshine. You wanted to revel in the fact the Din’s hair has gone curly from the humidity. That Baby has to be fashioned tiny shorts to keep up with the heat. You wanted to stare longingly from the beach as Din rushes to the shore after Baby, scooping him up before his tiny toes touch the water, and hearing Din pant, “How do you get down here so fast? Where do you think you’re going to swim to?”
Instead you are plagued with insomnia. Laying silently next to Din as the weight of the room suffocates you every night. The sound of waves crashing, that you thought to be so soothing, sounds like an airspeeder crash that you cant stop from happening over and over again. The sound of Din’s breathing, that once kept you grounded does nothing to help your panic. Not even Baby’s soft snoring keeps you in your body, as Baby can no longer fall asleep alone in his own bedroom. Everything has changed. Din can’t leave for his new job teaching sign language in town without you being up before him to look into his eyes. Not in a loving way, but in a way to memorize how the irises meet the pupils, the lines in the skin around them, and the eyebrows above when you were previously satisfied with just a kiss on the head with no disturbance to your slumber. You can’t explain the reasons, but you feel if you don’t memorize one part of his face every day before he leaves, you’ll lose it forever. It’s all you can focus on, the possibility of forgetting. The possibility of losing. You feel isolated in your focus, channeling all the terror, the rage, the exhaustion into feeling absolutely nothing at all. You often wonder if you’re some knd of masochist for it depresses you immensely, yet there is a great deal of comfort in the emptiness. It’s safe in the emptiness. In the emptiness you don’t have to tell Din you can’t sleep because the thought of waking up and he’s gone again is enough to kill you from the inside, out. In the emptiness you don’t have to think about how devistating it is you can’t even take a bath anymore without Baby thinking he has to live without you again. It was sweet at first - the first night you were reunited, Baby whined until you let him sleep with you and Din. You loved it, together again with your sweet boys. But it didn’t stop there, Baby shrieked in tones you had never heard before every time Din walked away from you as he held him. Climbing up over his shoulder, arms reaching out for you, the look of fear in his eyes, for even mundane things like walking out to the beach before you as you made lunch. Baby didn’t trust Din anymore and it was evident almost instantly. Only weeks into being back together you had your green bean up on the counter, watching you attempt to get your bearings back within your art. Which really meant standing in front of the canvas all day as you had a one sided conversation with your boy. The back doors were open, for the breeze throughout the the morning and when Din came home in the afternoon the front door swung open with such force, it hit the wall. This was the first time this happened, and it was all you needed to shift into a state of feral protection. Heart racing, you scooped Baby up and in a moment of uncertainty, turned your back to the door, shaking with ragged breath, you crouch to the ground.
“My moon...” Din says softly.
You inhale sharply and turn to put Baby back on the counter. Your eyes are wide and you don’t know what you’re feeling. It’s like when you were a child and every emotion would happen at once, you’re older now but you still choose rage over them all. It’s the easiest.
“What the fuck Din? Would you watch the goddamn door, Jesus Christ!” You bark at him but you don’t stop. You rip into about how inconsiderate it is to let the doors slam, reminding him you have a child and if he wants another he’ll have to learn how to be more respectful with the noise. You don’t know who’s speaking for you, it just keeps spilling from your mouth with the intention to hurt. Speaking loudly as to not hear the terror and confusion rattling around in your mind or your heart that’s still racing through your chest. The rage within fires on as Din does nothing to stop you. He stands there, lips pursed and eyes hollow, just taking it. Your words that have absolutely no justification because you wont tell him what’s going on inside, but he knows you. He knows you’re floating between planets in this moment and you don’t trust your own emotions. He’s seen it before, and you need to make a conscious effort to come back down.
“Hey!“ Din yells, yanking your wrists up and pressing your hands to his chest. “It’s me. It’s Din. Come back down to the planet, I’m here. Tell me what is wrong, what can I do?”
You dig your fingers nails into the flesh through his shirt and he tightens his grip around your wrists.
“Everything hurts-“ you whisper but are cut off by what you can only assume was Baby believing that Din was hurting you and acting to protect you.
Din is pulled away from your embrace, slipping through his hands as he grunts in confusion. And with a force much greater than you could ever push him, he slams into a door frame on the opposite wall, falling to the ground.
Both your hands clasp over your mouth with a gasp as the panic sets in all over again. Pushing through it, you rush to him, scolding your boy as you kneel between Din’s legs. “Baby, no!”
You lift Din’s big beautiful face with your hands, as Baby turns his back to you and sits on the counter, head down. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine,” he says, sitting up.
You push the hair out of his face, then bite your lip and look up to the ceiling. Wondering, how did we get here? As your eyes fill with tears.
Din wraps his arms around you and rests his head on your chest, “I’m sorry... I’m so sorry... I’m sorry...”
Din is always sorry now.
He’s sorry you can’t sleep, he’s sorry your appetite and your inspirations have died, he’s sorry Baby doesn’t stop crying, he’s sorry you curl into a ball every time he tries to arouse you, and he’s sorry he’s the reason for all of it.
Because even though there is comfort in the emptiness, it is still the same place where Din’s finger tips now feel like hot iron. It’s the same place where even if you get a wink of sleep, you have that same dream of Din leaving with Baby in the armour. The emptiness is where you feel yourself slipping into the likes of your father and you watch yourself do nothing about it. Din is always sorry yet he never tries to help you the way Wilhemina did Stark. Are you and Din no better than two people who were never even truly in love?
In the emptiness you’re too scared to tell him how it truly feels. That you’re drowning every single day and how you don’t know how you fit into the galaxy anymore. You’re scared to tell him you feel like you did as a child and you don’t know what is looking back at you in the mirror again. It wasn’t supposed to end like this, this wasn’t supposed to be your life and at one time you didn’t know who you’d be if you weren’t Baby’s mom or the love of Din’s life but now you don’t know where you fit with them either.
It is so fucking lonely in the emptiness for every day it feels like you’re screaming out to Din and Baby, but they can’t hear you. That you’re running your finger down the bridge of Din’s nose, or the space between Baby’s eyes, but they don’t feel a thing. That you’re standing in the middle of the room bleeding out the universe in your heart that they’ve lived in for so long, but they don’t even see you.
A bolt of lightening lights up the ocean and it snaps you out of your trance. You wish you could live in the flashing light, and how it turns the water into clear blue crystal before you. Your feet finally move for you as you sink into the cold sand one step at a time, but you don’t know where they’ll take you. You want to become the ocean, the stars, the sand beneath you because they are useful. They are needed, they are beautiful. Maybe you could love Din more completely if you were the ocean he adored swimming in, or care for Baby properly if you were the sand he liked to let fall through his three small fingers. You are nothing to them if you are but your mind and your body operating as two separate entities.
Today you wept in the kitchen sink until your collarbones hurt, because Baby tried to heal you the way he does with cooking burns and small cuts. You didn’t even realize you had crawled up into your mind as you cut fruit for Baby to eat, trying to count every hair on your body that stood up from the breeze through the window. Trying to think if there were more ways you’d be useful as the breeze that flows through the bungalow and rustles the palm trees above than what you were now. Kissing Din would be easier as the breeze, you would be delicate again, like the life you once lived and that is almost enough. It’s not until you feel Baby’s hand on your forearm that you’re brought back into the room. You look down to find him with the look of concentration across his small face and you know what he’s trying to do.
“Oh no, Baby.” You coo, pulling his hand away from you. “You can’t heal this, my love.”
You mean for your words to come out as a joke at your own expense, but you could barely choke through them.
Another bolt of lightening cuts through the sky and it stops you with a gasp. The gravity of your life now weighing on you as you realize you’re ready to become the ocean instead of telling Din you don’t feel like a human being anymore, only because you don’t want him to blame himself. For you understand he did what he had to do, and you’d rather feel like this than live without him and Baby at all, so why is it so fucking hard? You’ve forgiven him, you’ve decided to move on together so why does it feel like you don’t know him at all? You are so full of rage because you know you are holding yourself back and you are so full of rage because you’re just like your goddamn father.
Aren’t you?
“Y/N!” You hear from behind and when you look back, you see Din pulling on a shirt as he steps off the deck and into the sand.
“What are you doing?” He calls again as he gets closer, and you suddenly feel like Baby. Where would you swim to?
You don’t answer, just watching his curly hair flowing back in the wind. All you want is to run your fingers through it, to feel it like you used to. You want everything to feel like it used to, but it’s too much to even look Din in his eyes and you turn out to the water.
He tries to take your hands, but you pull away and he rubs his jaw.
“You gotta let me in.” He sighs.
You look back at him with wide eyes. You’ve had this conversation before. Years ago, when you found Din’s modified blaster, before you knew he was a Mandalorian. That seemed simpler than this but nothing would have changed if Din hadn’t talked to you that night.
“Something is wrong.” You say, pulling your hair behind your ears in a way to tame it in the wind. “Something is wrong with me.”
Din looks up as it starts to rain, but neither of you move.
“I don’t feel the same, Din. Nothing feels the same. I don’t know where I fit anymore.”
“I’m sorry,” he says, stepping toward you as you tense up, crossing your arms.
“I know you’re sorry,” you say through closed eyes and a tense jaw. “But what you’re sorry for doesn’t even matter anymore. Din, something is wrong.”
“Then tell me what it is!”
The words are caught in your chest and it physically pains you. “I want to become the ocean.”
Din looks confused, “What are you talking about?”
“When I was growing up, the only thing that kept me going was the belief that one day I’d be better. But now I’m older and maybe this is just it. Maybe I’ve felt all that there is to feel, and this is it for me.”
“Don’t say that,” Din shakes his head. “I need you.”
“What about what I need?”
“What does that mean?” Din demands, rain dripping down his nose.
“I don’t know!” You cry.
“What do you know?”
“That I love you.” You yell over the rain, “That I love you so much, but my head is too messed up. I’m tired of feeling this and it won’t stop, Din. It won’t stop and I’m so scared.”
Din takes your face in his hands, “Let me help you, my moon. Please.”
As hot tears mix with the cold rain, you bite your lip and shake your head, “What if I’m not enough anymore for you, or Baby?”
“You are all we need. This is just a moment, it will pass. Like your father’s.”
You clutch Din’s wrists, “I thought I was like my father, but I’m worse. He was brave. I am nothing.”
“Don’t say that.” Din exclaims, wiping the tears and rain from your cheeks. “The sun rises and sets for you. You and only you.”
It’s the first time Din has said that to you since before he disappeared and you feel like you’re going to collapse. “I don’t know if I have it in me anymore. I’m not strong like you Din. I want to be strong and beautiful like you, but I don’t know how.”
“You are the strongest, most beautiful person I have ever known. We’re going to get you help my moon, I promise.”
“Why are you like this? I’ve done nothing but hurt you. Pick fights and push you away.”
“I don’t care.” Din shrugs.
“Din, I haven’t touched you in weeks.”
“I don’t care, Y/N. Everything you’ve ever given me has felt like the first time. I waited 35 years for you, I’ll wait 1000 more.”
You search Din’s face trying to find one line, one section of skin, a reflection in his eye that looks familiar but you come up empty.
“Din, what if I never want to touch you again?”

i think it's calmed down a bit? i don't feel like i'm on the verge of death anymore, but it is enjoyable to be dramatic. maybe not when my body feels uncomfortable, though. my room is awfully messy.
plus i have homework that i need to figure a way to do. it's annoying because i'm used to school routine. wake up, get ready, learn. now i'm just.. stuck
i don't think.. my health is in perfect shape. i mean, i'm always almost dehydrated? i have a bottle of water with me right now. i just drank green tea! did make me feel somewhat better. i don't think i'll be able to sleep today. i got 5 hours of sleep last night, which is when it all started. i can't wait for this to disappear
honestly, i think that's why i like him. it's honestly cool. and in the percy jackson series, i like how he was portrayed. and the helmet being included as well? so cool. the underworld in that series was written well, in my opinion
i'm in bed, if thats what you mean. currently watching something to keep me distracted. it's nice. your presence itself makes me feel comforted, so don't worry about it, verity.
i started another book. dunno if i'm gonna finish it, it's like 300 something pages long. the beginning was pretty disturbing, but i think that's why i'm reading it. dark books and writing are interesting
— 🐢 anon
hyperbolic is a way of life. cant deny.
glad you don’t feel on that edge anymore! though… you know, i personally think you can always go up. so, keeping those positive thoughts in mind. when my room is messy, i choose to think of it as an aesthetic and less as an actuality. playing pretend is always fun.
wow. i am not an optimist at all. don’t worry though, i’ve got pet names for days.
you’ll get back to the routine. i know how much i hate it when i get off schedule, but give yourself a moments rest. new schedules, new plans work for me. i don’t know if you’re the same, but there’s always that.
i hope you are able to sleep some tonight, my darling, as that is the best medicine. more water, more tea. honestly, as long as you are not crippling from dehydration like a leaf, then i’d say you’re doing alright.
your opinion, as mostly always, is correct! it is popular for a reason after all. plus, youthful. sometimes you need a break from all the seriousness.
dark books and writing are interesting. poetry comes from pain and so, that’s probably why i like it. and why i write so weird. glad you’ve got something to keep you entertained though! that’s always important.
…i am. well aware this made about 2% sense, but maybe you speak my language. i’m in a mood rollercoaster right now so you’ll have to forgive me.
drink water, laugh at distracting things (just in your head if it’s painful) and… something else good.

i just marathon read the dragon of the yuyan and first: omg so good truly a stunning au i love all the ocs and i cant wait to see what happens second: is zuko mute because of truama or is he choosing not to speak like the rest of the yuyan or is it a bit of both and third: is zuko ever gonna tell the gaang that yuyan sign language is secret and that they can't share it with anyone pls this is stressing me out :p
First: Thank you so much! I honestly never expected it to take off the way it did, and I’m glad everyone’s enjoying it so much!
Second: Honestly, it’s about 95% trauma (the last time he spoke out he was met with MAJORLY EXCESSIVE RESPONSE and then spent six months ALONE with all of his attention focused on basic survival which was a bit more important than working through all that fresh trauma) and about 5% respect for the ways of the Yuyan Archers.
Third: Zuko’s not going to get in trouble for teaching Aang and the others the Yuyan Hand-Language, not to worry! Because the Yuyan Archers are the special ops force for the Fire Nation military, understanding their hand-language can be a security risk, but since they’ve basically all defected, that’s not an issue anymore. It also ties in a bit to their history and culture, and I’ll go into that more when I finally sit down and write that essay on the history of the Yuyan Tribe in the Dragon of the Yuyan ‘verse. Besides, Zuko’s not going to be working through the trauma behind his muteness any time soon, so no one will blame him for needing to be able to communicate.

Cant Compete With Her
Lena Luthor x Reader
Tumblr media
Part 1   Part 2   Part 3   Part 4 
You and Lena had been together for years. Her mom surprisingly liked you because you had what she called "the Luthor smarts". You had been there for her through the whole case with Lex which caused your own family to practically disown you. So, when Lena decided to move to National City you put in a transfer request with your job and ended up following her. Then Supergirl and Kara Danvers came into the picture.
Warnings- Angst sooo much angst, slight mentions of cheating, language, - let me know if I should include any others
(Y/N)- Your Name
You had once thought that you and Lena could make it through anything. I mean you both had made it through you meeting her mom, the media catching wind of your relationship, everything that had happened with Lex, and even your family telling you it was them or Lena. You had moved from the only place you had ever known in order to follow Lena and support her in quest to try to clear the Luthor name and rebrand Lexcorp into LCorp making  in a force for good. You had supported her in everything she did and even understood when she had to reschedule dates because she was just so close to a break through. You never made her feel like she had to choose between you and her work because you knew how important clearing her last name was to her. Then came Kara Danvers and Supergirl. Soon she wasn't only just rescheduling dates but cancelling them all together for Kara. You honestly couldn't remember the last time you had gone out with Lena anymore. You felt you had taken 2nd place in Lenas heart but you dealt with it because you knew how much Lena wanted friends that wouldn't judge her or try to use her. You tried to make the best of it though. You would schedule time with her for you to be able to bring and each lunch with her during the day. You would sit with her and talk but soon she began to cancel those too. You tried not to overthink because you knew, or at least you thought you knew, that Lena wouldn't do that to you. She had just started taking on more projects herself and was even partnering with Supergirl occasionally now. Yet you couldn't help but feel like you were competing against Supergirl and Kara for your fiancées time and affection. You still tried to be the supportive understanding person you had always been for Lena but you were slowly getting to the end of your rope. You had tried talking to Lena about this and how it made you feel, yet every time you tried she just didn't have the time for you. You tried to hold back your tears at all the excuses she had given you every time you tried to talk to her.
"Sorry (Y/N) I really need to focus my attention on Supergirl right now. We are so close to being able to solve this."
"Hey sorry nows not a good time Kara is in my office and she really needs me right now. We will talk later."
"I know I said that we would talk later but Kara invited me out with her sister and her friends. Don't wait up for me. I don't know when I'll be home but we can talk in the morning."
The list went on and on. Today though, you were going to go to Lenas office and demand that you have this long overdue talk. Your patience had run out this morning when you had gotten a text telling you that your lunch with her was cancelled, again, and to not come because she had a shit ton of paper work. You had a feeling though that she was spending time with a certain blonde haired reporter and didn't want you to know. A knot had begun to form in your stomach after that and the sickening feeling you had continued to grow all day. You tried to distract yourself but it just wasn't working so you decided to head over to LCorp early. The drive there gave you some extra time to try and think about how you wanted to approach this. You wanted to have a calm discussion with Lena and talk things out like the adults the both of you were. You had a feeling though if you walked into her office and Kara was there that plan would fly out the window. As you pulled up to LCorp you just knew that your heart was about to be broken. You laid your head on the steering wheel trying to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for what you knew you were going to see. You got out of your car and slowly walked into the building making your way through security. Luckily in the elevator you were by yourself.
"Ok (Y/N) just take a deep breath. Try to keep calm no matter what you see in there." You said giving yourself a mini pep talk before the doors slide open on Lenas floor. Jess looked up at you and smiled as you walked up.
"Hey Jess is Lena in any important meetings or can I just walk in and talk to her?" you asked trying to be polite to her. She didn't do anything to you so no need to be snappy with her.
"She's not busy with any official meetings and even if she was I doubt she would mind you interrupting her." Jess told you with a small chuckle escaping her. Apparently she didn't know about all the cancelled dates and lunch meetings between you and Lena. Yet the way she worded that made the sickening feeling in your stomach grow. She didn't say that Lena wasn't in any meetings, she said she wasn't in any official meetings. If you had any doubt that Kara wasn't in there with your fiancée they were erased now. You pushed open her door and quickly stepped in closing it behind you before facing Lena. You could feel your blood boil at the sight that greeted you because there was Lena and Kara sitting so close to each other their legs were touching eating lunch. Kara looked up at you with a smile that quickly dropped when she saw the murderous look in your eyes directed at Lena. Lena herself had actually managed to look even paler than usual and her eyes widened filling with guilt. Kara quickly looked between the two of you and began to pack up her stuff before leaving as quickly as she could. You waited till the door shut behind her to speak.
"You have got 5 fucking seconds to start talking before I completely lose my shit." You spat at her with venom in your voice.
"It wasn't what it looked like." Lena told you quickly because you are 100% sure that it was exactly what it looked like.
"Really Lena then what the fuck was going on because to me it looked like you cancelled on me, AGAIN, in order to have lunch with Kara." You told her trying to hang onto any semblance of being calm. Lena looked away from you and you scoffed.
"Seriously Lena after everything this is what you do. You could have at least had the decency to tell me you didn't want to be with me anymore. Honestly I cant believe you right now. I DEFENDED YOU! Against my own family. I picked you over them. I stood by your side when everyone told me you were just going to end up like your brother! I LOVED YOU LENA AND HOW DO YOU FUCKING REPAY ME HUH! YOU ABANDON ME AND OUR RELATIONSHIP AND DON'T EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO END THINGS WITH ME!" You had begun speaking slightly below yelling and ended up screaming at Lena. She couldn't even come up with anything to say to you. She just stood there her mouth opening and closing but nothing coming out. Just as you were about to start screaming at her again Supergirl appears on Lenas balcony and walks into her office. You scoff and run you fingers through your hair.
"Is there a problem? I heard yelling and decided to come and make sure that everything was ok." Supergirl said with her arms crossed across he chest. You bite your lip trying to hold back tears because of course Supergirl would come to Lenas rescue. You looked at Lena and looked into her emerald eyes, that you used to get yourself lost in, trying to search for something. You're not even sure of what you were looking for. You glanced away from her and let out a sad chuckle.
"No Supergirl. I think I'm done here. Enjoy your life Lena. Don't worry I'll be out of your penthouse before the night comes." You told her turning and walking towards the door. As you went to open the door the ring on your left hand caught your eye. You slipped it off quickly walking back towards Lenas desk. You slammed the engagement ring down onto her desk before looking up at her watching as the tears fell down her face. She still hadn't managed to say anything though. You shouldn't have expected anything different.
"You can have that back. I don't want it anymore. Give it to Kara since she's obviously the one you want to be with." You told Lena, completely missing the look of shock on Supergirls face, as you turned back around walking out of Lenas office slamming the door behind you. You didn't see Lena walk towards her desk on shaky legs and pick up the ring. You didn't see her collapse as the sobs overwhelmed her body. You didn't see any of that because you were trying to escape LCorp as quickly as possible so no one would notice the tears that streamed down your face as you felt your heart shatter in your chest. You had no idea where you would go or what you would do. The only thing you knew was that you had to get as far away from Lena as you possibly could.

I respect the idea that it takes a long time to learn a language, and I usually refer to the FSI scale as a guide (plus some additional time if you aren’t a very focused studier, and plus some more time obviously if you want to be native like fluent instead of B2ish).
But today I saw so many massive immersion approach/10,000 sentences to fluency method users videos, where they insisted you either massively immerse (like all day every day), or it will take you like 30 years to learn a language. That is... that is a bit of an exaggeration.
There are plenty of people who primarily studied languages only in school, either as a program or for a degree, who learned enough to function in that language. Every foreign college student in America learned English for 20 years or less, and they can study in America and live functionally in English. I imagine a huge portion of them also did NOT study English the whole 20 years... so saying it takes 30 years to learn a language super different than English if you don’t do tons of immersion, for an English speaker feels like... a huge exaggeration.
Just my chinese as an example but. It took me about a year to go from 0 knowledge to HSK 3 knowledge. I imagine if my goal is HSK 6, then as long as I keep studying about the same frequency, even if HSK 4 and 5 and 6 take me much longer to learn, I could certainly get a grasp of those levels by say... 5 years. Probably under 5 years.
I know they’re changing the HSK tests so it may change in the future, but presently HSK 5-6 levels are what chinese jobs and universities tend to expect for non-native to be able to function in the country and study/work. Based on my pace, I would say a person studying in school along with a little in their free time should certainly be able to reach that goal in 4-5 years. Or a person self studying consistently. Yes, they won’t be fluent as a native speaker in that time (unless they’re very skilled). But they’ll be functional in society which is good enough to work, study, communicate and understand the language and learn in that language etc.
A more reasonable video gave an estimate of say 2-6 hours study/immersion a day, for a few years. Some days more, some less. Steve Kaufman who made LingQ suggested such a plan for learning languages, depending on the difficulty of the language and how fast you want to learn it. His suggestion followed FSI recommendations on the time it takes, and certainly implies it will take years to learn a language, but not decades!
And honestly, taking decades to be as knowledgeable as a native speaker is fine. It takes native speakers years to become adults and get to the level in the language where They know advanced specific topics and specialized knowledge too. A 10 year old cant always read a college level book! A 10 year old cant always read an adult novel, or pick up all the nuance and alternate meanings in a text or show or speech! But they’re fluent in their language, and they have the ability to keep learning and get to that point one day. It’s totally reasonable that it should take us, learners of a language, years to learn nuances and increased speciality topics levels too. We might struggle with different areas than a native speaker, but it does make sense we’d take years to improve overall until it’s not noticeable anymore. I think... It’s fine if that process of perfecting our skills takes decades. It makes sense it should be a lifelong experience...
Anyway ugh. I just. I realize those videos are trying to emphasize why their method is done the way it is, and why they choose to do it and think it’s the best method. I just... really think there’s multiple avenues to reach the same destinations. And I’ve met plenty of people who arrived to those destinations somewhat differently. There are a lot of people in my city who speak English as a foreign language, and a lot of them did NOT study English for decades or immerse themselves in English constantly. Did they study for some time in life, yes. Did they consume English content sometimes, yeah eventually (especially once they moved here and are living with it). But most of the people I’ve met didn’t live and breath English all day most days. They had their study time, or interest time that involved English (like shows, games, friends) and then the rest of their life was other things as expected...
I just... that claim that “It will take 30 years at 1 hour of immersion a day to learn a language very different from yours”...
Yeah ok, but most people study some days a few hours, some one hour, and all engaging with a language counts not just the immersion time. And most people’s goals are to be able to do something in a language, which can be accomplished a LITTLE faster then full native-like fluency. And once people get to a certain level of skill they will naturally immerse more cause they’ll find it easier to (watch shows, have conversations, read, etc). Like... okay realistically maybe it will take a slow studier without much spare time... say 10 years to learn Japanese to a level pretty fully functional in a society. But 10 years is fair! It’s a hard language. And most consistent determined studiers with goals will probably reach their goals in 4-8 years depending on their free time/the goal. And some real talented/dedicated people will yeah get it done in under 4 years but... it’s not like that high speed is realistic for most people either.
Aghhhhh the claim of 30 years If a person doesn’t constantly immerse though... wow that irks me...
Anyone who’s LEARNED a language to the fluency you needed for your goals (a job, school taught in that language, using the language for whatever you use it for), how long did it take? How many years did you study? I imagine you’re still studying since most people prefer to keep improving. But how many years until you reached that first solid fluency level goal you had? I’m guessing it wasn’t 30 years...

Tumblr media
new york’s very own madison ‘madi’ ko was spotted on broadway street in chanel sneakers . your resemblance to kim chungha is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty-first birthday bash . while living in nyc , you’ve been labeled as being obsessive , but also ambitious . i guess being a virgo explains that . 3 things that would paint a better picture of you would be glittery eyes, dangling earrings, & chanel draped in pearls.  ( cisfemale & she/her) + ( kale, 20 , she/her , est. )
hi honeybuns !! im back and with child. there is a brief mention of an ed under the cut but i block it off with a tw start & end.    if you’d like to plot pls leave a like and i can dm you or hit you up on discord !! my discord is kale#3079  
BACKSTORY
haneul madison ko was born september 18, 1999 to two immigrant parents from S.K. her birth name is haneul, but she went by the name madison since it was easier to pronounce + madi began to almost detest her culture??
it was just that growing up she would sometimes get bullied for looking different at her school, for the way her packed lunches smelled/looked, the way people would stare if she spoke korean to her parents, how other kids would make fun of her english since she didn’t pick up on vocab/grammar as quickly since she didn’t practice at home with her parents. she just became SO insecure about it that she rejected her culture. she wouldn’t bring her mom’s food to school, if her mom ever forced her to take it she’d throw it away  and choose to starve instead. she wouldn’t speak korean back to her parents in public, barely even in private (which reeaaallly upset her parents). this also REALLY destroyed her korean language skills. she can understand still, but she can barely hold a basic conversation anymore.
as she grew up, and continued this sense of distancing herself from her culture, she ultimately distanced herself from her family. which left her feeling -  - alone often, even though it was all due to her own choices. in this loneliness, she found her escape in music. she would wear headphones constantly through the halls, in car rides, in her room when her parents yelled at her to turn the music down. she just loved music. she saved up the money her parents gave her whenever she worked at the nail salon (her parents owned it!!) to thrift an old keyboard. she became self-taught by trying to copy melodies of songs she’d listen to, thrifting piano lesson books, staying after school with the music teacher learning to play. sometimes she’d even skip lunch to sit in the chorus room with her choir director and play.
it’s not that she had a LACK of friends growing up, maybe just that she lacked a best friend. she had a lot of friends, but no one that she felt so connected to in the way she felt connected to music. perhaps, she was addicted to her loneliness.
she spent a lot of time playing the piano and dabbling in writing music that her grades started to fall (not that she was ever the BEST student) and her parents literally took away her piano. they said it was a waste of time because they wanted her to focus on doing well, so she could get into a good university, and then live a good life. music was just a distraction
but that didnt work
she would sneak out into the city to go to concerts and poetry readings. she’d sneak out and go to indie songwriters scenes while her parents thought she was at the library with one of her school friends
This underground scene had her full heart!! she was surrounded by likeminded people who just lived for music. she was hearing all of these incredible people who were all looking for their start. maybe not looking for anything at than just to sing their songs. tbh i think this was the point she was happiest. she was completely enveloped in music, just for the sake of music. There wasn’t any pressure, just music. Just the songs. she was wide eyed looking at this whole underground scene of artists. So maybe some plots from these underground charas?!
she’d perform some songs at karaoke nights and the indie sessions, and a producer took a keen interest in one of her songs. basically im kind of stealing halsey’s career start, but she posted a song Came in Close on SoundCloud and just blew up overnight. in the morning, she woke up to a record label asking her to fly to LA for a meeting.
and thus, Madison Ko began a career as Madi Ko where she’d release her debut album, Honey, a few months later. (DISCOGRAPHY HERE). her music is very 80s synth inspired!
new album that is most definitely CRJ’S EMOTION is coming soon...
PERSONALITY
right off the bat, madi is an absolute firecracker!! she’s loud, bursting with personality, has a lack of inhibitions that CHAOTICALLY mixes with her spontaneity
part of this is projecting her insecurities. she felt lonely as a child but doesn’t want to be seen as that to the world. it’s not so much a persona but an exaggeration of who she was. 
she likes to show off her glam bc it, once again, hides her insecurities. 
she just kind of is dramatic anymore
like everything about her
her persona as Madi Ko, upcoming popstar underdog, is like DUNKED in glitter, over the top stages and sets, draped in couture. basically her stages/outfits/dances/mvs are like Chungha’s but with Pale Waves and Carly Rae Jepsen VC. ex: 1, 2, 3, 4
also bc im obsessed with chungha’s famous diamond wink, IT’S GONNA BE MADI’S THING TOO. so basically madi has trended on twt a few times bc of her signature diamond wink bc she effing glues rhinestones and glitter under her eyes for performances !! she said fuck corneas !! ex: 1, 2, 3      ....god chungha is magical
so while madi is like a brand hypebeast n never shuts up, she can also get,,, easily annoyed. and heavily perceives ppl on first impressions despite that being the reason she felt misunderstood a lot growing up. 
definitely argumentative!!! will blow up arguments for no reason n then later questions why she made it such a big deal but cant own up to her mistakes
when she decides she doesnt like you, SHE DOESNT LIKE YOU. it’s done. bridge is burned, she’s not keen on second chances
fame has definitely given her a bit of an ego problem --- she’s a bit more aggressive, self-obsessed while intrinsically insecure, is too busy flaunting her material possessions and trendy life that she can...lose touch of reality. basically most of her high school friends cant stand her. HC that her high school bf broke up with her bc she was no longer was the madison ko he knew!!! so if anyone wants to be that ex lmk !!! she’s written songs about them!!!
definitely the type of girl who is so hype at a party, dancing in fallen confetti, standing on the fireplace mantle, but then midway realizes she’s lonely. sad at a party. 
ED TW STARTS!!!!!
....
she kind of always had body image issues growing up, but it was very off and on, but once she got signed and being by surrounded by cameras became normal she formed a full fledged ED. she’s passed out at concerts a few times bc of her ED, but they always brush it off as “not enough rest” or “she wasnt feeling well that day but pushed to perform anyway as to not disappoint the fans”
so feel free for ur muses to point it out !! she’ll get really defensive like “i eat i just work out a lot” and yeah it’s true she works out a lot but she...doesn’t really eat
it’s also one of the causes of her irritability ...
.....
END ED TW!!!!
idk why this is so long
always up for mischief! 
does love a good prank. asks weird hypotheticals 
is not scared of an ouija board
will get wasted off a few shots and drunk madi is UNSTOPPABLE 
one time drunk madi cried bc her siamese cat (MOCHI !!!) wouldn’t ever get to go to school and would never know chemistry..... the dramatics.....
she is sensitive and despises it. she does everything she can to not come across as sensitive
however, she’s so obsessive. so deep in feeling. when she feels something she FEELS it. when she is mad it boils through her. when she is in love it is all she knows. when she is sad it covers her like sweaters and blankets on rainy days. she doesn’t know how to half-feel. everything she feels stops her in her tracks.
HOWEVER she’s the most obsessive with her own insecurities — so in relationships she’s kind of known for tapping out early. she just gets scared and the fleetingness of her career and that she’s at her very core, lonely and disappointed in herself, makes her want to run away thinking that letting down her walls and being vulnerable could only be disappointing for her SO. so maybe she ghosted ur chara or gave some lame excuse
Kind of obsessed with how she’s perceived
terrified that at any moment her career could be thrown away, her deemed irrelevant, and she goes back to being Madison Ko, daughter of nail techs in Koreatown. and then her parents would have been right all along, music was a waste of time.
she’s just my little fallen angel who flew to the sun (fame) and it constantly eats away at her girlhood, at her heart.
anyways this is all i got rn <3 come love me sorry i kind of didn’t shut up this is long
WANTED CONNECTIONS
an ex from before she was famous who broke up with her because of how she changed!! PLEASE i have ideas for this. plus,,, you get a lot of songs about ur chara!!! could be from high school, maybe someone in the music scene she frequented before she was signed, anything!!
anothr ex/fwb/undefined relationship i’d love is one when she was first famous who just introduced her to everything. something like a whirlwind that was exciting and magical. she’s written songs about this person.
exes in general. 
hookups/fwb
romantic plots. pls i have songs who need meaning. friends to lovers, one sided (either way), slowburn, ANYTHING. love cruel summer plots, anything lover by tswift
PR relationships -- would LOVE one where she falls in love with the other despite how clearly defined they made their relationship
love triangles in general just get me going
best friend!!!! the one’s who know how the other feels just by looking at each other. they have countless sleepovers. tell each other everything. cry together on bathroom floors. pregame together. 
ex friends. for whatever reason -- maybe madi did smth shitty, maybe they did. maybe there was backstabbing, maybe madi sacrificed friendship for a career, maybe she made moves on their romantic partner/interest despite being fully aware. idk. gimme
People she knew from the underground/indie scene before they were famous!! they’d have bonded over their love for music, little indie dreams kind of vibe. just imagine a group of dreamers !! Would love if they made some kind of pact!!!
party friends
collabs !!
pranks. mischief. gimme
enemies. gotta cook up some drama, yknow
GIRL GANG. god i just want this so bad like make a girls dream come true

The Trial of Roman Torchwick and Neopolitan (take three gdonamenenshetebd end me)
Neo and Roman were in a courtroom together, handcuffed and on podiums. One being pink, with Neo on it, and the other being blue with Roman. Roman was on the right side adjacent to the entrance, and Penny was also there to the left side of the entrance. (thanks to tumblr this is the third time I have had to explain this.)
Roman, noticing this arrangement, smirked and said "Looks like me and the gingerbread toaster are going to make an ice cream sandwich~" Which made one of the guards next to him giggle.
The judge slammed his gavel on the wood. "Silence, redheaded scum. It is time to begin your trial."
The judge was on the wall opposite to the entrance, on a huge jet black podium with real jet turbines sticking out the front. They were not functional anymore however.
Roman and Neo were each flanked by two guards, in full tactical armor and tasers. This is due to the fact that they had a history of escaping. Penny was deactivated, chained up in a ball, with her backpack full of swords removed. She was surrounded by a six-pack of guards welding spray cans full of robot deactivation dust. The cans were each labled "Sapper Spray: for naughty machinery!"
"Roman Torchwick, you are charged with Gangster Activity including robbery, snobbery, thieving, canieving, smuggling, juggling (without a license) assault, including using a flashy stun cane weapon on security guards and witnesses. How do you plead?" The judge asked in a stern voice.
Roman knew he was guilty, and he knew that the pair of juries knew he was guilty, and he knew there was no getting out of it. So he decided to mess with the judge. "I plead for you to [redacted] my [extra redacted], your glorious honor!"
This angered the judge. "So, you plead guilty then? Very well. Idiot. Next is you, Neopolitan. Since you are Romans wife, you are thereby charged with the same crimes as he is, as a wife is but an extension of the husband. And-"
"Hey wait! We are not married, do you see a ring on the finger?" Roman turned to the side and showed his middle finger to the judge. Which resulted in more guard giggling. The judge ignored him and continued.
"-since he has pleaded guilty through uncooperation, you are hereby found guilty of all of those as well. Wife, female parter, irrelevant. Same thing different name. In addition, you are charged with the murder of Jacques Schnee. I loved Schnee as a boy, I always looked up to him. And you killed him in cold blood. Why? Didnt you know he is a single father of three? How must his children feel?"
(his children felt pretty great actually. Weiss and Whitley were doing the crab rave dance, and even winter had joined in by doing the foxfaunus-trot. All of which to celebrate that their father who had pit them against one another was gone.)
"So how do you plead, Neopolitan?"
Neo mouthed something.
"Speak up."
Neo glared at him.
"She cant talk dumbass. I cant believe how often this is not immediately obvious to people..." Roman grumbled.
The judge pounded his gavel again with a responding boom. "Silence, redhead! No one asked your soulless mouth for an opinion."
"Fact, not opinion." Roman corrected.
The judge could do sign language, but Neo was handcuffed so it didnt matter. "You are also defaulted guilty due to uncooperation." The Judge added. The guards and jury chuckled.
The juries were in two groups. The Hexadon, which were sixteen peers with normal clothes, and the Octocourt, which were eighteen peers wearing purple octopus hats. It was time for each group to decide on a punishment as they had already reached a verdict and had gone through the evidence beforehand. Once both sides had decided on a sentence, the judge would choose between them. If they could not decide, the least popular option would be removed from the equation and the people who wanted it would have to switch to something else. Then that would be repeated until there was only one left. If they had a tie, for example eight in the Hexadon wanted one thing and the other eight wanted something else, the judge could be the tiebreaker.
"Juries of Vale, it is time to process the information available to decide on the sentences of these affirmed guilty criminals. We will take an hour for each group to discuss amoung themselves in private rooms seperately. Look at your cards to see the various options you may vote on. Ranging from five years to the death sentence and in between for these crimes." The Judge said, and pounded his gavel lightly. "Break court."
Normally voting for no punishment at all was also an option, but that was only if the accused pleaded not guilty.
I will of course skip to the results, as otherwise it would be pretty boring.
The Hexadon was highly concerned with lethality, and took respect in the fact that Roman Torchwick did not have any known cases of murder as he used a weapon that stunned and disoriented and weakened its targets rather than simply kill. You would have to shoot someone with aura or armor several times to kill them, and twice to kill a normal person. And Torchwick avoided doing this. So they only voted ten years for him. But they hated Neo for killing Jacques, such an important and "handsome" man, so they wanted a life sentence for her.
The Octocourt on the other hand, hated them both and thought that Roman was just trying to appeal to his fans by not killing people or being incompent and unable to be as lethal as he liked, so they wanted twenty-five years for him and forty for Neo. They thought Neo was essentially as bad as Roman, but more dangerous and letting her out earlier would be too risky. The Judge chose the sentences individually so he selected the ones that were harsher for both of them as he had a personal strong dislike for Roman and Neo. "Torchwick isnt even threatening, he should not have been a criminal in the first place." He was later quoted on.
However after Roman, Neo, and Penny were taken away, General Ironwood came in.
"Honorable Judge, where is Penny Polendina?" He asked, with a stern look at the judge who stared sternly back.
"She went rogue and was an accomplice in the murder of Jacques Schnee. She is to be disassembled post haste for the safety of the people."
Ironwood narrowed his eyes. "Penny did not even know that the killing had taken place. She is innocent. And her apparent workings with the criminals was all due to a plan to arrest them."
The judge pounded his gavel. "It has already been decided, and besides, you only want her free because you have grown attached to that robot."
General Ironwood placed his hand on his gun. "Not just me, but Atlas and the Huntsman and Huntress communities are very fond of Penny Polendina. She is an example of how one can create a powerful protector robot without it being a vicious or mindless killer. If you destroy my robot..."
"What?"
"Atlas will consider it a declaration of war."

The Big Mun Questionnaire Thingamajig— answer these questions then tag 20 blogs you’d like to know better!
Tumblr media

nicknames: none that i know of?
zodiac: libra
height: 5′ 2
time: 9:24 a.m.
favourite band / artist: it’s hard for me to have just One (1) fave but if forced to arbitrarily make a choice i will say currently working fave is a toss up between panic! at the disco and marina & the diamonds, all time fave regardless of the fact that they are not together anymore is triumph, and/or rik emmet as a solo artist after triumph broke up, even though he’s now getting ready to retire
song stuck in my head: literally was humming “fuck up” by shane dawson all last night and this morning. i am currently listening to twtltrtd (its a panic album that has a long ass name dw abt it lol) so technically its not in my head rn but im sure it will be later.
last movie i saw: in my psych class we had to watch that movie with all the emotions in the girl’s head that the “do you ever wonder what is going on inside someone’s head” meme is from what is it called akdhffhg UPDATE: after much meme googling the last movie i saw is called inside out
last thing i googled: literally the entire text of the what is going on inside their head meme to find the name of that movie lol but before that, it was ‘sniper elite 3 siwa oasis’ bc i was looking smth up for my dad who was stuck on a level in a video game lol
other blogs: i no longer have any other rp blogs, just this one!
do i get asks: sometimes i do get memes and sometimes i even get those kindness campaign or similar messages which is hella rad and y’all are a buncha babes ok ily
why did i choose this username: uuuuh so basically i had like, a LOT of single muse blogs and brought them all together to this multi. so the word coalesce was relevant bc to coalesce means “to come together, to form one mass or a whole”. coalescence is like, the verb?? version of that word ??? idk how grammar works but basically thats the other tense of coalesce and it looked pretty so i chose it. then i just added S’s until the url wasn’t taken and here we are lol
following: 709 i need 2 stop
average amount of sleep: like, 5-6????
what i’m wearing: normally i make an effort to display Style and Fashion (tm) but atm i’m in pajamas lol rip i guess
dream job: i rly want to be an entertainer ???? like idk. i wanna have a youtube channel. i wanna get to work on tv somehow, i wanna be on a radio show or podcast, i wanna write a book,  i wanna put out an album and tour on it, i wanna be a model. i wanna build my own career based on doing a lot of different kinds of things that are fun for me to do and even more fun for other people to consume as content/media, but find the common thread in all of those things being my brand??? which sounds literally crazy i know but idk. with the internet doing what the internet has done for everyone i think its more possible now than ever so who knows. but i’m going to school for computer science so idk if that will EVER happen lol
dream trip: i honestly don’t know.... there are places i wanna go, like japan, but idk. i RLY wanna do that thing where you go from one end of the US to the other on the amtrak train with a good friend ??? and just see my own country and stop off in stations in little towns and see what people’s lives there are like ??? i just think that would be really neat. i’d make a video series about it.
favourite food: nearest food. nearest food is favorite food.
play any instruments: kind of sort of guitar/ukulele/piano also does singing count as an instrument? but at the same time god help me i probably sound terrible at all of them in reality so dont bet on it
eye colour: brown
hair colour: just as brown
languages you speak: english, know some very basic basic spanish and i barely know like five words and 2 of the 3 alphabets in japanese (one day when i have time to do things and can spend less time being Stressed & Depressed (tm)  i would like to be halfway fluent in spanish, japanese, korean, and hawaiian. if the resources become available to do so i would love to learn pottawatomie as well, which is the native language of the tribes where i am from, which is a big part of the culture there still (tho there are dwindling native speakers of the language itself and not a lot of resources atm, altho conservation efforts are being made).
most iconic song: im gonna be honest with you, the first thought i had upon reading this was all star, and i cant say im fully committed but im not gonna sit here for twenty minutes analyzing this answer so ????? its all star fight me
random fact: i need to wash my heckin makeup brushes more often bc damn im a Mess
describe yourself as aesthetic things: a pastel pink shirt that reads ‘empty inside’ in fanciful cursive. bright 80s colorblocking covering the void in your soul. white and gold christmas decor that’s still up mid january. a bed that used to be made but was rumpled by sitting on it. getting a hand cramp from taking notes with a glitter gel pen. a collection of handcreams in various airy scents. a heaviness in your bones that you can’t escape from. the fallout from rainbows of makeup smeared onto a desk. paint chipping off where your wrists touch a laptop from overuse. an adorable hair ribbon paired with a leather jacket. the tragedy of emotion. self deprecation that edges into mirth. being self aware of an unhealthy nature. kawaii smeared by the remains of an emo phase that never happened and invaded by the jewel toned velours of modern day culture.
