Plesse tell me about queerness in the get down!!
okay okay queerness in the get down let's fuckn goooo
disclaimer: I havent watched this show in full for like 5 months at least, probably gonna get something wrong and/or forget some more important bits. also this wasnt proof read I just word vomited
tws: period typical homophobia, abuse mention, f slur use, bury your gays trope, overdose mention, mention of a creepy possible age gap (the age gap hasnt been confirmed so that's why its possible), cops
going from least to most prominent queer characters, let's start with mylene cruz!
so, from the beginning of this show she has an established romantic relationship with ezekiel (although the status of their actual relationship changes frequently throughout the show) and though this was a relationship she was hesitant to pursue, it is clear that she does have romantic feelings for him and if not for them both having growing careers in very different music genres (zeke specifically working in a genre that she repeatedly labels as bad because she thinks they're ruining records + that it isnt real music because they're using someone elses piece and rapping over it, that's not really important here tho lol) they probably wouldve had a much healthier, smooth sailing romance. that being said theres a few things that happen in the show that, while not explicitly clear, or even really good coding at thatā€”to the point where you wont catch if you really arent looking for it (and trust me, I always look for coding, hers was just so little that it flew over my head until I saw someone else mention it)ā€”are still cool to think about!
so, for starters, I wanna mention the toy box performance, which was performed by mylene and regina, who are best friends. that's all cool and shit, and you dont really think much about it...until you hear about the fact that the show runners purposely colored a lot of the scenes in that performance with the bi colors. like. the writers after the show ended basically said "oh yeah there was plans to make her coding more explicit, but our shit got cancelled soooo" and then dropped the fact that she was gonna be bi (or at least implies bi) in the series, which puts a new twist on a few things.
now, besides the bi coloring in the background of the toy box performance (which was mostly on scenes with her and regina, which involved a lot of uh,, lowkey lewd dancing. with each other. in very revealing outfits. wooooo), there's her music! I dont tend to read too much into this one bc, like I said before, her coding is fucking light and the writers themselves said they didnt really get to do much with it, but I think some stuff with her music is interesting. specifically how her, yolanda and regina's song set me free blew up because dizzee, resident (lowkey enby coded) bicon, got their song played in a queer club. also that the song was majorly important to dizzee and started playing literally right as he kissed a boy for the first time and realized "oh shit I like boys that's bonkers". also that the song can be taken in a gay way since literally the entire thing is about becoming your true self, fully and unapologetically, which is what both dizzee and mylene's entire character arcs are about. dizzee (and a lot of other queer people, apparently), heard this song about being set free and it resonated with them so much that they got that shit most of its popularity.
speaking of dizzee and mylene, they parallel each other a lot in the way that their arcs are about them realizing who they are, coming into themselves and no longer just letting people treat them like shit in a sense (dizzee starting to tell people essentially that they can call him weird all they want, they can make fun of how he acts, what he likes, how he dresses, etc. but he likes how he is and quite literally saying "it's okay to be an alien" as he has consistently compared himself to one throughout the show vs mylene learning that if she wants to be a disco singer she needs to put her foot down, not let anyone, not even the love of her life, not even her abusive father, stop her from achieving her dreams, etc. and continuing to pursue her career with or without their support). one more little parallel that I think is interesting is during I think s2 towards the end of the show is when dizzee and thor are shown together having fun with each other, painting all over the building and each other and are basically just being happy and in love together and then they have these clips of them being interspersed with clips of mylene at a party where she is starting to realize that if she wants to get anywhere she needs to be her own main priority and that she needs to put her career and her dream, which is what makes her the happiest, above all else if she wants to succeed. idk I just think how the show made these two into a weird parallel, accidental or not, is neat. maybe not an explicitly queer parallel, but I think at least how her music and whatnot helped dizzee, the main queer character in this show, blossom, is important.
moving on we got shaolin fantastic also known as "oh no your internalized homophobia is showing-"
so, heres a quick list of...interesting shao facts:
Consistently referred to as fag/faggot (shaolin fanfaggot is my personal favorite); he gets really defensive about this despite nobody actually thinking he's queer, it's just people being assholes to be assholes, and he is the only character consistently referred to using a slur, especially a homophobic one, especially for a "straight" character. dizzee, a canonically queer character, is called a fag less than shaolin is even though dizzee actively goes to gay clubs, has a not so secret dude he "hangs out with" and wont let anyone properly meet, paints his nails, wears less than straight clothes even by the 70s standards and is just all around the definition of fucking queer (and I mean like in the weird way, not the gay way). in fact theres only like once I can remember him being called a fag and it had nothing to do with him actually being gay it was literally just like thrown out there the same way you would call someone a bitch.
Has only shown sexual interest in women, yet refuses to have deeper relationships with women in general (possibly because of trauma but who knows) but takes his relationships with his "brothers", specifically zeke, very seriously
Tells zeke and zeke ONLY his real name when zeke was planning to stop being his friend bc shao more or less got boo boo, a like 14 year old black kid, arrested for selling hard drugs; he was clearly scared and trying to do anything to keep zeke around, literally chasing him down the street and hounding him until he got zeke to stop and argue with him
Kept threatening to beat up zeke in the end but couldn't actually bring himself to do so, instead saying that zeke is "fucking lucky" before walking away
Let's zeke get away with things that nobody else can, in general just has a weird soft spot for ezekiel that he shows with nobody else
when shao found dizzee with thor in a vaguely compromising situation (like they were just shirtless covered in paint sleeping next to each other but shao had also seen everything they painted on the walls ((which some of it was sus)), it was clear they had painted on each others bodies and dizzee had been routinely disappearing with this guy for weeks now yet not producing nearly as much art, at least, as far as we audience members know) he didnt judge him but instead, waited for him to get cleaned up and then told him something along the lines of "theres a reason why im so secretive blah blah blah [not everyone needs to know everything about me]", which, in context, kinda implies that he might be a lil. a lil homiesexual. jus a lil.
whenever even the possibility of zeke leaving him comes up he absolutely loses it. he has literally cost ezekiel life changing opportunities because he thought zeke would just up and leave him for them. this could be abandonment issues bc he's a severely traumatized character, and that probably does contribute to it, but it also is just not a reaction he has to any of their other friends just randomly dipping in and out of his life soooooo
generally speaking, this mfer has got either bisexual with a big hard on for zeke coding or homosexual with terrible internalized homophobia and still a hard on for zeke coding. either fucking way, that nigga gay. he gay as hell. gay as fuck man. there wasn't really much to analyze here tbh bc the coding is just so fucking obvious if you look for it or you are/have been a gay person who's dealt with at least a little bit of internalized homophobia.
also, just a sidenote, idk how fucking old shao, but I'm praying hes like at max 19 bc I'm pretty sure zeke is a minor in this show and shao definetly is not so the whole him being heavily implied to have a crush on ezekiel thing is kinda. oof. not oof if zeke is like 17 but any younger than that? OOF.
edit: apparently the characters are only supposed to be a year apart in age but i had no clue about that before writing this post and since shaos age was never actually stated in the show i naturally assumed he was an adult since his actor Looks Like An Adult. this is definetly on me to a certain extent, but i also never saw anything about this when trying to find our their ages so šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø maybe i just didnt look deep enough, sorry!
now moving on to the main event...marcus dizzee kipling :]
so, first things first, let's talk enby coding bc him being bisexual was already confirmed!
um, to start off, I just wanna say I dont think this enby coding was intentional or even really coding, it's just moreso me being a dizzee kin on main and knowing as a transmasc enby he has very transmasc enby vibes. for example:
cool, gender neutral nickname that everyone calls him
paints nails various different colors
the whole wardrobe is just a transmasc enby heaven...fishnet shirts, jean overalls, jackets and cuffed pants galore, the big colorful pins, etc
gender neutral hairstyle (when I had my fro it was very sexy and made it easy to transition between hyper masc and vaguely fem, which is pog)
comparing himself to/representing himself consistently with an alien character (though this is meant to represent his sexuality, it could also double as a gender thing too, not neccesarily bc of the whole nonbinary alien trope but bc an enby who likes aliens might heavily identify or compare themselves to whatever their idea of an alien is, whether that just be a genderless entity or a motherfucker with fly style and no need to be perceived as anything other Wacky As Hell)
moving on from there, let's talk about how his queerness is presented to us and how, while it may be a really good piece of representation, especially coming from netflix, it still lacks in A Lot of places.
so, let's start with good things!
i personally really like the get down's queer rep with dizzee bc it's (for the most part) nonsexualized and very very soft, about dizzee figuring himself out and realizing there is a place where he fits in, and about two teenagers in the 70s falling in love over their shared passion for street art. it also features an interracial couple where both boys challenge stereotypes both about queer men and men of color, which is epic poggers and very sexy. this piece of rep specifically is very important to me bc I am a queer black person and even tho interracial relationships are mostly normalized now, I've still had people give me shit for primarily dating white people in a town that is...primarily white lol
mm anyways, I can also appreciate how in the get down, dizzee being represented by rumi the alien is not a thing specifically related to gender (as it often is) and instead is about his sexuality and just in general weirdness and how it has led to him being alienated amongst his peers, poc or otherwise. him seeing himself as an alien is not about just his queerness, which is important, it is about him being a queer black man who talks different, acts different, dresses different and is "soft"ā€”he isnt a walking black male stereotype and he wouldnt have been seen as masculine back in the 70s by any stretch of the imagination. this can be relatable to a wide spectrum of queer poc, from queer black men currently who still have to deal with this shit or to people like myself who are afab neurodivergent mixed race enbies that have always been signaled out as weird and alienated for it. dizzee is god rep bc while he has a small part in this show, his parts are very impactful, hard hitting and show queer poc of all ages that they arent alone and that it's okay to "weird", you just need to embrace it because somebody will love you for you, as thor did for dizzee.
that being said theres um. some minor problemas here,,,
namely:
dizzee and thors first kiss
the lack of development this pairing got
the way dizzee was confirmed bisexual off screen, he never said the words himself, just showed interest in both genders
the way dizzee and thor were never even confirmed boyfriends or just fwb so most of the fandom just calls them boyfriends bc Why Not
dizzee was implied fucking DEAD??? AT THE END OF THE SERIES?????? AND THOR WAS IMPLIED ARRESTED?????????????
now, these might have been things that wouldve been fine had the show been given it's full run but it wasnt which is why we are now left with probelms.
so, from the top, let's go over these: dizzee and thor's first (and only "on screen") kiss was one that was shown in a montage of other queer people making over and doing other vaguely romantic/sexual things, one of those things being a whole ass naked titty being mouthed at, but the actual kiss...was just not shown? like they really did just say "yes they kissed <3 you know this from the context clues of it being in a montage with kissing, hickey giving and titty sucking <3 but no we will not show it <3" LIKE HELLO? I SAW A NAKED BOOBIE BUT NOT TWO MEN KISS??? HUH????????
also, dizzee and thor were both fucking high as hell during this bit like this isnt a terrible thing but it's also like sometimes you do shit when you're high that you wouldnt do sober and they just never kissed again on screen so like?? like idk that's not that bad but it does kinda irk me since they deadass got no other on screen intimacy after that unless you including painting on eacher other or sleeping next to each other on a shitty mattress but not touching at all during it bc they were both at opposite ends of the mattress like half way off it
so yeah, that was trash. then we got lack of development, which kinda goes with the "dizzee being a bisexual but he never says it in canon" thing cause like...okay dizzee was already sort of a side character from the get go like he wasnt the mc by any means, but he became way more of a background character as things continued until we basically only saw him for performances or when he was with thor, yet they got no fucking development as a pairing other than "dizzee realize he gay, he like thor, he and thor spend time together and ig probably do some gay stuff but we dont really know bc we only ever see them do graffiti together now" like?? tf am I supposed to do with that shit. answer. quickly. and then theres dizzee not being confirmed bisexual, which is just a running problem with shows literally doing everything to say a character is bi except for having the character just...say they're bi? which would be so easy? like a good way dizzee and thor couldve had some development is by thor teaching dizzee things about the queer community that he didnt even know existed, thor couldve helped him understand what being bi meant and helped him label himself and whatnot but instead we got an off screen confirmation that the writers had bisexual in mind when writing him. which is garbagƩ.
the whole thor and dizzee never having a confirmed relationship status is also a development problem cause like literally nobody knows if they were just friends who made out, maybe fucked, who knows, or if they were dating bc dizzee does give a love confession but a love confession doesn't mean there is a relationship, especially since thor didn't say he was in love either (as far as I remember, I could be wrong, plus whether or not that really happened or was apart of dizzee literally overdosing during a performance is unclear so šŸ¤Ŗ)
and now for the biggest issue...bury your gays trope.
during the season 2 finale, dizzee and thor are chased by cops after they are found doing graffiti, one of the cops is able to catch thor while the other chases dizzee into a train tunnel and there is a train seen headed straight for him before the show cuts to black on a train horn. the show writers claim that if they had gotten another season, dizzee wouldve been alive but since they didnt and since that's essentially super fan trivia knowledge, most people dont fucking know that and instead had to watch a black queer teenager chose death over being fucking arrested by a white cop. on top of that, thor didnt see any of that shit because he was caught and the cop started hauling him off while dizzee was still being chased so thor literally has no clue where his friend/possible boyfriend fucking is or that he's likely dead in a goddamn tunnel all alone, unless you count the fucking pig that chased him in there who wouldve died too. this shows rep was so fucking good as far as most shows go on not having major fucking problems, on not being toxic and over sexualized, etc, etc. and then they just. killed a black queer teenager for no fucking reason. like it was literally the last episode ever, it would add nothing to the plot, it would just devastate fans and devastate it fucking did. I dont cry easy but seeing a character I identified with, who I had hyperfixated on, die because he'd rather that than be arrested is terrible. it fucking sucked.
so yeah. that's my all too extensive thoughts/analysis on the get down's queerness. theres definitely stuff I missed, or misinterpreted, or looked too much into, etc, etc., but this was a fun thing to spend time writing sooo yeah!! thanks for the ask anon, sorry this was just a big rambley info dump, but hopefully you get some enjoyment out of it since it took like 3 hours at least šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ feel free to ask clarifying questions lol

bitches make one post about suna in the smoke grays and suddenly it turns into a full round of headcanons...
content warning. drug use (vaping)

If You Tap Now To Watch A Short Video, Youā€™ll Receive Thirty Minutes Of Ad Free Music type beat... its not even worth it at this point šŸ¤®šŸ¤®šŸ¤® his pre-work fits always go hard. shops exclusively on stockx and buys apparel from the store if he fucks w it (and when it goes on sale ... original retail price kinda expensive tho). surprisingly good w the elderly? no one expects it from him but he ALWAYS gets compliments from them and no one else ever wants to deal w the crabby old people so they send him in for a quick and easy sale šŸ¤šŸ»
SUNA: ALWAYS vaping in the back. if youre near him in the stockroom hell blow the smoke in your face. punch him. do it. this is the aisle where there are no cameras. BIG sneakerhead but doesnt like to answer questions nskdfsd you could b asking him if a shoe is good for running nd he hits you w thatĀ ā€œidk i just work hereā€ and WALKS AWAY. like i KNOW you work here bitch thats the fucking point!!!! his shoe game is always on point so he always gets questions since people think he knows what hes talking abt (he does,, But šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜)
SHIRABU: at the register. designated cashier, only here because tuition does NOT pay itself... air max supremacist; owns three pairs of air max 270s in the most BASIC colorways šŸ˜ judges customers when they walk in. if he sees someone trying to fake flex he WILL gag. once saw a man and his son with the toyota logo hanging from their matching gold chains and hasnt recovered since.
KOGANEGAWA: gets LOST in the stockroom and is always šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø when he does. compliments the scent of whatever flavor puff bar suna blows into his face. isnt in the work gc when he first gets hired bc he has an android NJKSDSA but eventually upgrades and is welcomed in (but overuses animojis unironically.....baby please youre embarrassing us). absolute king. one of the best sellers on the floor during back to school season; the mans a high-five machine!! the kids love him. (as they should!)
ATSUMU: gets confused for yuuji from behind a LOT and bitch if this doesnt PISS HIM OFF!!!!!!! youd rlly think that having another person out there w the same exact face as you would train you to handle this shit better but guess not bc tsumu gets SO mad he stomps off to the back and has to šŸ§ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ§ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø for a bit..... osamu works at the food place two doors down and tells all the cashiers to make him pay full price, fuck a mall discount SDJAKDA there are too many pictures on his ig story of him and suna (reluctantly taken by aran) holding shoes to their ears like theyre the latest iphone. someone stop them before i reach thru the screen and shit in their shoes.
KINDAICHI: originally started working just to make money and knew NOTHING about shoes but bitch did he get INTO IT!!!! yeezy or bust, baby!!!!!! his go to work shoes are theĀ tail lights but he also owns theĀ desert sages (among others). his bank acc is NOT HAPPY,,, homie spends more money than he makes at his shitty minimum wage job šŸ˜­ once he learned the Shoe Lore he rlly came into his own as a solid seller but i would not be lying if i said before then he was on stock duty ....
ARAN: mvp of the store!!! gets along w the kids, gets along w the older folks, can hold a conversation w the sneakerheads, you name it hes got it !!!!!! on track to become an assistant manager if he so chooses -- the manager is alr begging him to come on full time but he doesnt wanna tie himself down to a life of selling shoes, yk? has people coming to the store just to see HIM like its a fucking host club. admittedly not as into shoes as someone like suna or tanaka,, definitely knows how to appreciate a Good Shoe but is halfway between a casual and a Full Sneakerhead tbh...
TANAKA: you wouldnt believe it but he is the KING of shoecare, both in usage and in sales! doesnt care as much when it comes to his regular old volleyball asics but when hes at work or out on the town? the flex is honestly UNREAL...catch him slacking, i dare you. shits on anyone who buys a team jordan like ,,, ok gatekeeper! his collection of retro jordans reaches almost concerning levels and refuses to sell any of them. he hasnt worn a good third of them, either (hes waiting for That Moment, whatever the fuck THAT means). only slightly above terushima when it comes to aux privileges. (theres also a video of him in the stockroom wearing nothing but booty shorts at the top of a ladder lipsyncing the lyrics to chandelier by sia. dont ask.)
BOKUTO: THE customer service guy. he spends small amounts of money like nobodys business but is lowkey scared of big purchases... drops $15 for food eight times a week like its nothing but wont buy a pair of $180 shoes... ok. as a result his collection is nowhere near as big as some of the other guys but he treasures them all and takes very good care of them!!! knows JUST what to say to warm any kind of customer up to him (gets hit on a lot, much to the dismay of tanaka nd yuuji)... also has a lot of former customers recognize him (its the hair) and he just has to go šŸ˜ƒ haha hey! every time.
NISHINOYA: whenever he cant reach smth and needs to be out on the floor asap he can and WILL climb up the shelves of the stockroom like a fucking MONKEY NKSFSN šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ the authority when it comes to shoes for running, hiking, the gym, etc. if its outdoors leave it to him! had a pair of 270s but the bubble POPPED the one time he used the ladders as he came down..........hes literally traumatized and ALWAYS brings it up whenever he shares a shift w shirabu (who has since asked to not be scheduled w noya due to aĀ ā€œdifference in beliefsā€ MSFSDS)
FUTAKUCHI: ive said it before but hes one of Those People thats worked half the stores in the damn mall so he was hired as a cashier during the holiday szn and left the company a few months later. youd think hed get along w fellow cashier shirabu but šŸ˜ƒ the manager avoids scheduling them together unless the stores gonna be busy bc one of them is gonna wanna useĀ ā€œthe better registerā€ and get mad when the other claims it first .... like theyre both FUNCTIONAL arent they??? šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ does NOT give a shit abt shoes!!! never even learned the stockroom, just kinda figured it out as he went along...whenever someone asks him for their size in a shoe he hands it off to someone on the floor unless he cant avoid it (but believe it or not he will always give that person the sale...unless its suna bc he knows suna doesnt give a fuck)
@wackatoshiā€‹ jic you dont see it when it drops šŸ˜ššŸ˜š

allow me to rant about the only thing that has been in my brain for the past two months and that is doll customizing babeyyyyy
i know thereā€™s a 90% chance that you wont give a Shit about any of this but here we go anyways
SO first you gotta choose a doll. preferably one with a high range of motion to avoid creating new joints or having annoying limitations like not having elbow joints for some fucking reason. what the fuck mattel. give monster high dolls back their ball jointed shoulders and elbow joints. smh
the most common dolls ive seen used as bases are monster high and ever after high. most customs ive seen are highly stylized so the stylized face molds work well for those types of dolls but dolls like barbies are good for when you want a more realistic face-ups.
once youā€™ve got your base picked out you gotta wipe that bitchā€™s face off with like. acetone or nail polish remover or something strong like that. you can also use acetone to shrink doll heads which is cool as hell imo. n e way once the face is wiped you gotta chop off the hair and remove the hair plugs from the inside. ive seen this done several ways but the easiest and most common way ive seen is to dunk the head into boiling water for ~30 seconds until it gets squishy and malleable. once youā€™ve got the head back, you can use pliers (i think tweezers would work in a pinch) to pull out the hair plugs which are kinda icky because theyre covered in glue and other gross shit. ew
now you must decapitate the doll. dunk em back in the boiling water to soften them back up then just tug the head off. the neck pegs look funky and are usually a different color than the body so thats cool ig
once the headā€™s off, you can start the face-up which is basically just giving the doll a new face using stuff like watercolor pencils, acrylic paint, gouache, and a whole lot of other stuff. hell ive seen people use person makeup on these dolls.
next,,,,, hair. thereā€™s about twenty million ways to do hair from gluing yarn wefts to sewing to rerooting with purchased nylon doll hair or yarn wefts but iā€™m gonna talk about the most common one ive seen which is rerooting and gluing.
before you can reroot, you need doll hair. which, as i mentioned, can be bought at stores like the doll planet or made at home with yarn in literally any color. have fun with it! make rainbow hair or something idk
to make homemade wefts, you take some acrylic yarn, cut it twice as long as you want the hair to be (keep in mind you can cut and style the hair once itā€™s been rerooted), fold them in half, and tie it to something sturdy like a wire coat hanger for the next step.
once youā€™ve got your yarn tied to your hanger, use a pet brush and brush the yarn until itā€™s wispy and looks like hair. then take a straightening iron and iron the weft flat. then remove from the hanger and boom. hair wefts. ta-da
to reroot the wefts onto the head, use a rerooting tool (which can be as simple as a needle with the eye cut at angle) (just google it please iā€™m shit at descriptions)) to poke small sections of the hair into the head. you can use the pre-existing rooting holes for your own reroot as theyā€™re usually pretty reliable. to reroot, take a small length of you doll hair (about 10-15 strands), loop it in half, and put the middle of the loop into the reroot tool. poke the end of the tool with the hair on it into the pre-existing hole and remove the tool. the hair *should* stay in and fill up that plug!! also remember to plug thickly at the hairline and part of the hair where it's most noticeable. it doesnt matter as much in the center of the head as thatā€™s not usually visible on the doll. once youā€™ve rerooted, squeeze in strong glue through the neck hole and squish around the head to make sure it covers all the plugs and secures them in place. then pour hot water onto the head to make the hair lay flat for styling later.
also, you can reroot yarn directly into the head to make thicker, more textured hairstyles. and since the yarn is thicker, you dont need to glue the inside of the head for the hair to stay in place!!
if youre not doing body modifications (which are also cool as hell) then itā€™s time for clothes but clothes are boring and i like body mods more so iā€™m gonna rant about them instead
the material ive seen most doll artists use is apoxie sculpt, which is like play doh on steroids. it comes in two parts which you gotta mix together for some reason. why dont they sell it pre-mixed. what was the reason. also once itā€™s dry itā€™s super super strong and you can sand it, drill into it, paint it, and all kinds of stuff. very nice and i want some for myself.
you can use hand saws and drills and shit to whack off doll limbs to make stuff like digitigrade legs or new joints. also dont be afraid to use other mismatching doll parts when customizing like heads and bodies and forearms and hands and shit. it literally does not matter if youre gonna recolor the doll anyways so have fun with it. make frankensteinā€™s doll if youre feeling spicy
accessories my beloved. stuff like tiny beads and clay baubles and shit will literally transform the entire doll plus theyā€™re adorable and multi-purpose
i suppose i must talk about clothes now. ah well. you can find great clothing patterns if youre new to customizing on other customizerā€™s etsy shops and probably google although those will probably be lower quality than paid pattern pieces. and keep in mind that if it exists as clothing irl, you can likely make it doll-sized. there are literally no limits to your clothing options as long as you can execute your idea.
the once all your components have been made, you can assemble the doll again!! and finally see what all the parts look like together!! very cool 10/10 stars.
ight that wraps up my doll rant. i could really go into more detail on certain parts but thats a whole other rant for a whole other day smh. sorry for fucking flooding your inbox ender ahahaā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦. you asked for this
little did you know that dolls have been one of my favorite things since like ever. if i can read a 25 chapter long fanfic i can read this B)
mattel definitely fucked up by completely ruining MH doll designs and just stopping EAH, alot of their profits most likely came from people who collect and customize dolls and by changing MH doll designs/Stopping EAH dolls they 1. most likely lost a small (or big if we're not jus talking people who customize dolls) part of their profit and 2. made it harder for doll customizers to make dolls/get commissions out rather quickly because they probably have to waste more time making joints or learning how to make joints.
EAH/MH dolls (specifically MH dolls) had AMAZING MODELS because there was so much variety with height, face shapes, etc (my favorite molds had to be the short/tall dolls and the cat molds because of the tails) and doll customizers really went all out with enhancing a molds unique features. The only "downside" abt MH dolls is that they (or atleast most)(from what i remember)) had slimmer faces but wider eyes while EAH dolls have wider faces with slimmer smaller which left a canvas for the face and not the eyes (and vice versa for MH dolls)
I've never seen any videos where a barbie is customized (maybe because i absolutely despised barbies at the time) so I'll definitely have to check those out but they seem to be good for realistic makeovers. I've seen like like semi realistic makeovers for EAH/MH dolls that were pretty good too tho (pretty sure mostly EAH dolls since yk MH dolls were used for creature makeovers while most EAH dolls weren't)
yeah i was always amazed by the head shrinking with acetone. honestly i still am?? idunno i have no idea how that chemical bullshit works. Ive seen a few of uh makeovers that just pain over the face (in multiple layers ofcourse) but that's usually when they're painting the entire body a different colour (again usually when they're turning a doll into a funky little baby man). I've also seen a few that just chop the hair off and take out the hair plugs yk without uuh like softening the head or just go straight for the hair plugs after taking off the head (i used to do that it was funny to me??). i always really liked when they used watercolour pencils or just colour pencils in general to draw/sketch on the face cause like wow ur drawing on ur doll without ruining it?? kinda epic maybe even poggers and pogchamp?? oh god my brain is failing wjshsmsj.
Watching them putting the hair back on the doll was, other than the face stuff, was the BEST part for me. Favorite type of hair was iuuuuuh was either thick yarn or brushed out yarn. Literally worship the people that would reroot the hair, theyre the most patience people on this earth!! it's literally insane but i guess that's what happens when you've been doing that for years? you guess kinda get used to it. when they put glue into the head does it just become stiff?? like it's just a clump of dried glue or does it like..hollow out again??
dude you literally cannot convince me most of the supplies used for doll makeovers. APOXIE CLAY LOOKS SO FECKING GOOD. its edible and i will die on that hill. The body mods are literally so amazing!!!!! it's so impressive how theyre able to imagine certain features THEN LIKE ACTUALLY MAKE IT LOOK ACCURATE TO WHAT THEY WANTED TO LOOK LIKE AFTER LIKE ON TRY (or many yk trial and error is very necessary for..everything). Absolutely loved when doll customizers would saw off a dolls legs and use different ones or just completely get rid of the torso to use a different one. it's like uuh that one big guy that's mismatched and sewn together. very cool. The accessories are so fun!! just small little details you seen really need but can add because it's your feckin doll!! I used to be absolutely obsessed over the doll clothes i would find on etsy, so much so that i started sewing shitty shirts and dresses for my uh "customized" dolls (they were absolute HORRORS idk WHY my mom let me feck up my dolls like that).
Thank you for this!! i haven't been able to talk about any of my interests for a while and this just really made me happy!!
Question fer u my fellow MH/EAH enthusiast: what was your favorite MH/EAH movie/episode and doll series. Mine was The fusion dolls (MH obvi) and that MH movie "Haunted" cause we got to know more about Spectra :D

Episode Three
First of all...what the fuck was that challenge. And what the fuck was the logic to judging it?! I spent so much of this episode just being confused. I think it would have been so much better if they were allowed to come up with their own ideas and characters, instead of having this really narrow space to work in; that was bizarre to me. Like Just Jan could have done a really delusional, high energy character who was the worst singer in the world; that would have been funny! Instead they stuck them with these bizarre storylines that made no sense, and had very little humour in them. Idk whose choice that was but it was a choice. Anyway, let's get into the rundown!
1. Aiden Zhane
I am not living for Aiden at all. Her attitude in both episodes has let a lot to be desired for me. And also, that runway? What was that? I could buy that dress on Asos, glue some bows to it and have that look. The concept was cool, the bows falling on her? Cool idea. But if you're going to do that then you need to Do It, yknow? Like it would have been cool if she'd had a huge wig completely made of bows. Or if she'd had an umbrella and made it look like it was raining bows, or something, that could have been really cool! It could have been amazing and she took a really easy way out. Disappointing. And her performance was dull. She deserved to be in the bottom more than Nicky Doll.
The only thing I will say for Aiden in this episode is the way Brita and Redacted behaved towards her was really uncool. They did that whole "you didnt lead us at all", and then told her that they carried her? You know that if she had led them they would have totally thrown her under the bus and said "well we do this professionally and we wanted to do this, but she was the leader and she made us do that". It was totally a damned if you, damned if you don't; and that was really unfair.
2. Brita
Guys, I am Bored of Brita. I am over it, and I am underwhelmed. I haven't seen anything from her that I've enjoyed! Her looks have been dull, she's not that funny, and I dont like the way she behaves (like I said with Aiden). She wont be next to go home, but hopefully she wont be long.
3. Crystal Methyd
STOP TRYING TO CHANGE CRYSTAL METHYD! I'm so sick of them going "oh her makeup is always the same", when it has been different each time!! She has a style and a brand, but it's not the same face!! Aiden Zhane does the same fucking face, none of them have picked that out! Loads of queens come in and they only have one face! Not mentioning any names Silky Nutmeg Ganache and Roxxxy Andrews. They got away with it because they were beauty mugs and that's the type of drag this show is biased towards. Crystal Methyd is an artist, let her do herself! That runway look was ugly though. Having said all that. Her face was gorgeous, I loved her makeup, I just thought that look wasnt very her! It didn't suit her somehow, it wasn't right. But she tried really hard during the improv, and I think she did a passable job! She honestly should have been safe, fight me. I just really hope she doesn't change herself to please the judges bc she has such a great vision and point of view, and I don't want her to lose sight of how great she is.
4. Dahlia Sin
Dahlia, Dahlia, Dahlia. Speaking of being underwhelmed, am I right? I had such high hopes for Dahlia, but this week she just didn't pull anything out. I personally think the fruit sketch was really funny, but it would have been exactly the same if Dahlia hadn't been in the group. She was so focused on being ~sexy~ (which is tough in a broccoli costume), that she forgot about everything else. Plus her bows and buttons look was just...odd. from the neck up it had this very avant garde, couture feel, but the outfit itself just looked unfinished. And then to have this weird arse peekaboo thing? Really weird choice. She deserved to be in the bottom and, after that lip sync, she deserved to go home.
I have seen a lot of posts about Dahlia "storming out", and I genuinely don't understand what they're talking about? Like, okay, she didn't say anything before she walked off, does that really constitute storming off? If she'd walked off while Ru was still talking, or if she'd yelled/screamed/sworn, then sure, maybe - but from what I saw she was just upset and wanted to leave as fast as possible. Idk, also they haven't released Untucked on the UK Netflix, so maybe there was more I didnt see.
5. Gigi Goode
I live for Gigi so much. I mean come on! Her character in the improv was passed out half the time and still had presence! She's so funny, and she's not afraid to let loose and get ugly. I think she did a good job in the improv, especially for someone without all that much experience, and her look on the runway was incredible. Solid 8/10 for Gigi this week.
6. Heidi N Closet
Heidi was robbed. I bought everything Heidi was selling this week. I bought it, I didn't stream it, I didn't rent it from the Netflix, I bought it. She was so funny during the challenge; the flipper? She spat out? Iconic. She had me dying the whole time, her, Jackie Cox and Gigi Goode should have their own series, I'd watch the hell out of it. Then she came bouncing down the runway as glitter Pinnochio, and she told that story about when she was at school and I loved every second! Shes so charming, and loveable, and relatable, and Jaida Essence Hall must have been gagged when she was top 2. She was robbed, she should have won, and she should keep her name! That whole thing with "the mouth has to change shape and it's not satisfying to say"? Bullshit, utter bullshit bitch. Heidi N Closet 4lyf.
7. Jackie Cox
Jackie made me so happy this week! Their whole group was hilarious, but Jackie doing the bad ventriloquist act just sent me, I loved it. And she just seems like the sweetest person as well! Her runway look was gorgeous, I loved the reference, her makeup was absolutely stunning, Jackie Cox is seriously the whole package. Her and Heidi should have been top 2 together.
8. Jaida Essence Hall
Jaida came in looking like a pageant queen, but she seriously flexed her comedy muscles this week! Her "bad apple" was hilarious, and she really committed to it! She was a firm leader in the group, but she was a good team player in the scene, she let everyone else have their moment too, and it was a good performance! I was a little bit disappointed that her runway look was very very similar to her spring mini challenge look from last week, but it was still a good look, and honestly I probably wouldnt have noticed if it hadn't been one episode after the other. She has shown a lot of diversity already, I think she just set the bar so high last week that I was really expecting something incredible, and I got something that was "just" good instead. She's still one to beat at the moment!
9. Jan
Jan made me so proud this week!! She was really funny in the skit, she had so much energy and enthusiasm, I loved it! Her jokes were funny, she picked a solid character and played it well, and can we talk about the runway though??? I really expected her to come out in something cute, because her personality is so bubbly and instead she gave me horror high fashion, monster couture and she Sold. Every. Second. It was a total transformation from the challenge to the runway and that, at the heart of it, is what I love about drag; that transformation aspect is just art to me. For me, Jan has it all. She definitely should have been top 3 this week. I think she's served the best runways so far, and I cannot wait to see what she does next week.
10. Nicky Doll
Okay, you guys know I love Nicky Doll. This week was not a good week for her. I appreciate that improv must be so hard in your second language, but I think she suffered a little bit from Dahlia Syndrome: she was so focused on staying pretty that she didn't really deliver anything. I kind of wish her character had literally just been French and spoke no English - part of the joke could have been that language barrier and Crystal/Window not understanding a word she said and her getting more and more frustrated about it. That could have been really funny. Also, her runway look...I know where she was going with it, it was a cool concept, and it was executed okay, there was just something missing, you know? It felt a little bit rushed, and again there was this real focus on being ~pretty~. Maybe if she'd looked a little more Cinderella ish, like her makeup wasn't perfect, and her hair was tied up like she was actually sewing, it would have sold me a little more character. I'm not sure, everything was just a little off for me this week, but I still think she's fierce af, and we all stumble sometimes. I'm looking forward to seeing her get back on her feet next week!
11. Rock M Sakura
Rock M was picked last for the challenge, I could not believe it. She deserved better than that, I was shook. She definitely picked the right group though, she was really funny as the Orange! She looked like she was having fun, and that's what I love about Rock M, is that I have fun watching her have fun. Her jokes were great, she matched Jan's energy, and I think she did a good job. I loved her runway look as well, the Alice in Wonderland concept was great, and I love that she kept the dress pretty simple so that the focus was on her hair and makeup! Her makeup was gorgeous, and the detail of the buttons on her face was stunning! It was a great concept, well executed, this week was a great week for Rock M, and I'm going to be furious if she gets picked last again.
12. Widow Von Du
Widow is getting The Edit. The edit that queens of colour who are talented get, where they paint them as bitchy, or loud, or as stepping on the other girls' toes; so that the audience isn't too pussed off when they get eliminated. Widow is exceedingly talented, and funny, and filled with personality. She also serves looks and delivers incredible performances. I will not let this edit take that away from her. She did great this week. She delivered everything I ordered in the challenge and more, she completely transformed for the runway, and she sold me a great presentation. Widow is definitely one to beat.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.
fill out & repost ā™„ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OCā€™s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lilā€™ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm. image:
Tumblr media
My muse is: Ā  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /
Is your character popular in the fandom? Ā YES / NO. Is your character considered hotā„¢ in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / IDK. Is your character considered strong in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / IDK. Are they underrated? Ā YES / NO. (he is overrated as all hell, fuck this dude... but i love him so...) Were they relevant for the main story? Ā YES / NO. (In the grand scheme of it all? Heā€™s really irrelevant. But Iā€™m glad Kubo didnā€™t kill him off like was originally planned). Were they relevant for the main character? Ā YES / NO / THEYā€™RE THE PROTAG. Are they widely known in their world? Ā YES / NO. Howā€™s their reputation? Ā GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. (I think its pretty neutral post canon?) How strictly do you follow canon? Ā ā€” I prefer not to RP canon events. There are a few exceptions though. though i will write a lot of post canon (which I have free reign to do considering Kubo never even let us know if he survived Askin!) Iā€™m very headcanon based and I try to fit as many of my headcanons into my writing as possible. That being said, I do use canon to support my hcā€™s.
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. Ā ā€” Grimmjow comes from a life of continuous unrelenting trauma and horror. Heā€™s a survivor and will never feel ashamed of the things he needed to do to ensure he stayed alive. The most important thing about my Grimmjow is that he is not a good person, but he wants to be. Becoming an Arrancar gave him a lot of agency that previously eluded him and heā€™s trying to use it to carve a place for himself in this world. Heā€™s aggressive, rude, and downright mean sometimes, but heā€™s also curious, and willing to make a connection with other people if they give him a chance.
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?). Ā ā€” They guy is an asshole. Heā€™s hostile. Stabs as a warning. And once his trust is broken its nearlly impossible to build back up. Heā€™s naturally suspicious and it can make it very difficult to get past his mask of contempt. Furthermore, he canonically not a very involved character. Heā€™s had very few interaction with others. Heā€™s NOT a romantic and shipping with him is incredibly difficult and I keep my foot down about it.
What inspired you to rp your muse? Ā ā€”Ā  Heā€™s the only bleach character I really relate to. I started making a whole bunch of hcā€™s when I started writing fanfiction and decided to use them in rp (after I struggles to get an OC onto the scene. Grimmjow is much easier to work with.)
What keeps your inspiration going? Ā ā€” Ā  Iā€™ve been in the fandom for over a decade. Iā€™m not leaving now. All of the wonderful people I write with keep me motivated!
Some more personal questions for the mun.
Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
Do you think you give your character justice? Ā YES / NO. (My version of him, yes. Canon? Meh, not so much) Do you frequently write headcanons? Ā YES / NO. Do you sometimes write drabbles? Ā YES / NO. (I have many fics - find me on ao3 lmaooooooo) Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? Ā YES / NO. (im im in the zone and not doing other shit) Are you confident in your portrayal? Ā  YES / NO. Are you confident in your writing? Ā YES / NO.Ā  Are you a sensitive person? Ā YES / NO. Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal? Ā ā€” No. My characterization is personal to me and I very explicitly stated that I don't write Canon Grimmjow. If I did I would happily take feedback, but because eat this point hes very much my character I donā€™t appreciate criticism. Yā€™all are welcome to criticize my writing though! I love that and it helps me grow : )
Do you like questions, which help you explore your character? Ā ā€” YES YES YES! I absolutely love head canons and questions that make me think about what my character would do or think. I welcome them all the time and I donā€™t care how silly or obscure they may sound so send them my way!
If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why? Ā ā€” Hmmmmm, yes! Iā€™d say so. Everyone has different hcā€™s and I love hearing other peoples thoughts, and often Iā€™d liek to be able to incorporate some of them. That being said, some of my i will not change under any circumstance, so as long as you are happy to compromise Iā€™m happy!
If its a hc on your character though, that's all you! Iā€™ll never pressure you to use a hc that isnā€™t your own for your portrayal.
If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it? Ā ā€” I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinion and I certainly donā€™t believe everyone has to like my way of writing Rukia. If they donā€™t like it, I would probably just say they can ignore it or unfollow (because why would you follow me if you donā€™t like what I write? I mean, come on.)
If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? Ā ā€” Just... don't follow me? If you make your dislike really know Iā€™ll probably block you. RP is fun for me so I donā€™t want people putting me and my muse down.
Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors? Ā ā€”Ā  Go for it I guess? If its an error I make consistently It would be nice to know that Iā€™m doing that wrong. If its a one of thing and your confused about what I meant also go for it! If its like... a typo? I probs wont change it lmao.
Do you think you are easy going as a mun? Ā  ā€”Ā  Yeah! But I can be a bit shy on tumblr and I really only use my Grimm for ooc friends of mine, so It can take a while to get to know me via tumblr. Ask for my discord tho and Ill chat your ear off!
Thatā€™s about it, congrats for filling out! tagged by @rukia-kuchiki-divided Tagging: @ivory-insanityā€‹ @heavenxpiercingā€‹, @shambledsurgeonā€‹ @its-captain-hitsugayaā€‹

k-armys are spreading a tweet namjoon made in 2013 about korean independence where he says 'There is no future for people who have forgotten history' which shows he probably won't agree with working with a japanese imperialist, hopefully he still has this attitude in 2018 twitter(.)com/BTS_twt/status/367906282012831744
yeah i have seen them doing that ;; and fancafe and all the official tweets since then have been flooded with people talking about these things too, but bighit is playing dead fish so far :(
microwavehater said:Am i the only one who never believed that bts has ~creative freedom~ (anymore) ? If they (still) had, theyā€™d use their influence to spread msgs like baepsae, not just love urself uwu (considering yoongi made political pre-debut releases &interview stuff) Also, their newer releases (LY her onwards) are v much lacking in the hiphop department which (i assume) was a marketing choice. Hiphop just doesnā€™t sell as well to a female audience (along w the fact that vocalists are the face of BTS).
i think they still have creative input but creative freedom definitely not, but itā€™s debatable if they ever had it anyway? idk.. and them moving on from hip-hop was definitely both trying to change things up as well as appeal to a broader audience, love yourself era overall was an attempt to basically touch as many people as possible, i donā€™t mind them changing their musical direction but what has bothered me was the loss of their involvement (because it is less)
Anonymous said:I totally agree with you about BTS losing their originality. Iā€™m almost starting to get annoyed of them. Now bc they know people love their music for its topics such as mental health, etc I almost feel like theyā€™re thinking that theyā€™re obliged to constantly write music that only has a ā€œsocialā€ message. I did not like Idol at all. It was pretty tacky and the idea of loving yourself seemed so forced in the lyrics. I want them to make songs about whatever they want at that moment. (1/?)
Anonymous said:Also every fan keeps saying the same thing about them being unfiltered when actually theyā€™ve become SO filtered now. Theyā€™ve almost created this illusion of being super open with us when actually we barely know anything about them. I donā€™t mind that but I hate how theyā€™re touting that as something that applies to them. Honestly most fans now are the bandwagon type and the fandom is starting to feel more like a cult versus a community like it used to. (2/2)
i donā€™t know if i ever talked about them losing their originality? because originality is debatable in this case too, if you mean their original intention then yes i agree with that, and i agree they definitely created the illusion, once i got out of the bts bubble a bit and also thought back to the old days, i realized how closed off and filtered everything is comparison to the past and even to other kpop groups nowadays that are way more direct, i feel like even exo is more outspoken these days and direct with their fans which i thought could never happen??? i used to stan them and it was hell hah.. and these days.. wowza..
Anonymous said:Fuck yesss we need new yoongi mixtape and i agree abt what you said i wish bts could read that and be like okay guys i think they are right we have done some questionable things and shit has to be addressed whether we like it or not and just fucking do so. Some fans will drop but some would drop anyway bc it is getting out of hand i would never want to call bts problematic bc shit i cannot imagine that being true but them supporting problematic people is kind of making them ones
i just feel like nothing will change because bang pd is too greedy.. he really is eyeing like building a global empire with all the business deals he has been making.. also bts have done plentyĀ ā€œproblematicā€ things themselves, though not to that extent, but some of their actions have hurt a lot of people too, but it depends on what bothers you, i find colorism and things like that a problem, but ofc definitely different thing than pedophilia and such, i just meant to say that nobody is perfect
Anonymous said:Do you ever just wanna randomly bump into bts and be like ā€œhey lets talk!ā€ And then tell them about all these issues and fandom drama and just tell them to wake the hell up? Cos I do haha
well even if we bumped into them, most of them wouldnā€™t talk to you so dkajsdka
Anonymous said:i agree with everything you have said but what bothers me is he is a co produce of produce 48 and nobody really complained about it even though he is know for sexualizing minors... or did i miss something?? also i feel sorry for you getting hate you were just saying your opinion and people should start to accept some facts! it's not the first time bighit did something questionable ://
oh but actually when that was announced there was backlash? i remember seeing complaints about the producer as well as some of the trainees due to their supposed right wing associations, there were also complaints about womenā€™s rights cause of the oversexualization of some of the girls back in japan and the producerā€™s lyrics, i think this backlash seems bigger or more visible to you because itā€™s happening in your fandom ;; that season of produce even ended up having the lowest rankings and voting participation so :/
Anonymous said:I have three words to describe the part of the fandom that blindly accepts all the things, even the problematic ones, BTS do. 'Situationally woke cult'.
that fits perfectly
Anonymous said:i rly appreciate sou voicing your thoughts even if they r not in essay form or refined for days. I agree with you on many things but at the same time it's not as disappointing to me bc I guess I never held them to high standards. like in the beginning I could kinda imagine that they were somewhat sincere (but still remained sceptical) but the more they got famous the more I accepted that that sincerity and authenticity would stop bc that's just the kind of business that kpop is... (ā™¤)
Anonymous said:like it's an inherently dishonest industry. they sell an image just like everyone else, and at best(!!) they were as real as possible with us in the beginning. no doubt they wanted to be different from everyone else and it was easier as long as not that many people gave a fuck about them. but as soon as they started to this chance was over. so i guess what I'm saying is that my view didn't change and I'm not surprised, because I never really bought what they were trying to sell...(ā™¤)
Anonymous said:I still love them, theyre likeable & adorable boys. but theyre not changing the world. they're not in the right kind of industry for that. they love their luxury expensive stuff & the glamour of it all & that's okay. I just take every concept the whip out w/ a grain of salt & a knowing smile & enjoy the entertainment. that's just my own two cents that nobody in the fandom wants to hear so I'm bothering u. & its not an analysis or anything just what is on top of my mind while watching TV lol (ā™¤)
Anonymous said:(ā™¤) oh ps. except for that whole controversial stuff with that misogynist jpn songwriter and supreme boy and what not. I take that seriously , I wont act as if that's just a cute quirk. but they're men so I didn't expect much lmaoo. I knew that those kind of disappointments are just part of the deal ever since I learned that jimin (a whole cutie pie and my ultimate bias) stans chris brown. definitely would kick jm in the shin for that if I ever got to meet him. at least keep it to yourself lol.
haha i wish you didnā€™t start this with a backhanded compliment but dkajsd yeah overall i see your point and agree... i understand like if you didnā€™t buy into that whole spiel, then of course you can just keep on going and stanning them as idols and all that comes with that, but many people and me included sincerely thought that they were different, i have stopped stanning kpop groups for a while and got drawn back in with bts because i felt they were so fresh and unique, genuine and open with fans in comparison to other groups i have stanned.. but ofc that image crumbled as time went on.. things have changed as well... and i agree, itā€™s fine to enjoy it for just the entertainment and like the boys as people, accepting they are just as any other idol.. and maybe i will continue with that perspective myself!! but i honestly find it difficult having believed in it and also bighit continually selling this image to their fans despite evidence of the contrary, i can deal with idol business but like continually being blatantly lied to and then being in a fandom where most of the rhetoric is build around blindly believing it and eating anything the boys and bighit sells? itā€™s honestly emotionally exhausting sometimes.. but yeah.. youā€™re honestly right.. even with the last point lol... they are men, and korean men at that sigh.. thatā€™s why iā€™m burying myself in girl groups nowadays adkjsd to heal my soul
Anonymous said:Hope you have a wonderful day filled with only good things ā¤ - the cutest person in the world
thank you so so so so much! you have a wonderful day too ā™„ cutie
Anonymous said:simple question, not loaded at all, no wrong answer, the honest answer is the right answer- yaddah yaddah you get it -what do you think bangtan is lying about and what exactly are you saying overall? i just need the language simplified for my 3 braincells :) if i do get what you're saying - whether the actual members of bts are real or not, their message is. "dont let anyone tell you what to do" "live your own life and not a borrowed dream" "life is a marathon, not a race - go your own pace"etc
you can read this post as well as the tags to it to see some of the examples, i mean i have been saying lots of things so i donā€™t know what exactly you want me to clarify? i think their message is compromised when their actions contradict it, whether itā€™s their actions or bighitā€™s is up to debate, like i was talking about in the post though, you canā€™t have things both ways, canā€™t hail the boys as woke independent kings while propagating the idea that they are just the companyā€™s pawns at the same time, if you accept their authenticity isnā€™t there then ofc itā€™s a different argument, and the things you have listed there may be true, but isnā€™t is soured knowing they are just things that are said in order to sell bangtan as a product to you? to me they are
Anonymous said:I'm not gonna disagree but I like to see all the sides of a story. Bang pd is their boss, bts made a contract with him, he will ALWAYS have the last word on, well, everything they put out. We like to think that bc bts has creative freedom they can do whatever they want, well obviously they can't. Even if bts wanted to talk more about issues and not work w bad ppl, bang pd wants them to succeed, he wants to make money bc it's his business and bts is the only thing bringing money to it.
i get this argument a lot and to that i will answer again this and this, i donā€™t understand what your point is exactly though, so you are saying bts are pawns that have to do as they ceo says, yes and? i am criticizing the decision he has made? iā€™m criticizing that what he cares about the most is money? that he will stop at nothing to widen his wealth and influence? i will not support bts cooperating with vile people just because it wasnā€™t -completely their decision-, iā€™m sorry iā€™m really struggling to see what your point is about the other side of the story, itā€™s a shitty situation and if they all go through with it, it be greatly disappointing

Maybe ~ Chapter 1
ā€œSo. What happened to your arm?ā€
Evan turned abruptly at the sound of a second voice in the computer lab. He could feel his hands start to sweat as he lifted his eyes to meet this persons questioning gaze...
Taking in a shaking breath, Evan looked up at the person. His eyes widened at the sight of non other than Zoe Murphy. She was holding a piece of paper in her hand.
Trying out this idea for a new story. This is just the first chapter, though. If you guys like it Iā€™ll continue, but idk. Also, itā€™s one in the morning and I just finished the ending so itā€™s kinda shitty.
WC: 1,947
Warning: Swearing, Shitty writing, Jared Kleinman
[2] [3]
Ao3
Masterlist
Let me know your thoughts! Iā€™d love to know what you think of this!
ā€œDo you ever really crash or even make aā€”ā€œ
ā€œSo. What happened to your arm?ā€
Evan turned abruptly at the sound of a second voice in the computer lab. He could feel his hands start to sweat as he lifted his eyes to meet this persons questioning gaze. Did they hear him mumbling to himself? Did they watch him type his letter? Shit, did they hear his phone call with his mom and now they think that heā€™s a complete loser because he canā€™t even get a ride home with his mom, let alone another kid his age? And now theyā€™re gonna tell everyone that heā€™s a loser and everyone will hate him and now he wont even have a family friend of his own and heā€™s going to die alone because they heard his phone call.
Taking in a shaking breath, Evan looked up at the person. His eyes widened at the sight of non other than Zoe Murphy. She was holding a piece of paper in her hand.
ā€œOh, I um, I fell out of a tree actually,ā€ Evan said, trying his best to control his rapidly increasing heart rate.
Zoeā€™s face softened into one of sympathy. ā€œMy brother pushed you and you fell out of a tree? That sucks. Iā€™m sorry, Evan.ā€
The boy just shrugged. What else was he supposed to do? Shit, was there something else he was supposed to do? Whatā€™s a person supposed to do when someone says something like that? Do you say ā€œthank youā€? Do you nod? How the hell was he supposed to know?
ā€œNo oneā€™s signed your cast yet? Not even Jared?ā€ Zoe questioned.
Evan shook his head, probably more times than necessary. ā€œNo, no not yet.ā€
ā€œCan I sign it?ā€
Evanā€™s heart nearly exploded. Zoe. Zoe Murphy. Zoe jazz band Murphy. Zoe Murphy who Evan has had a crush on since the middle of tenth grade. Zoe asked to sign his cast. Not even realizing he didnā€™t answer her question, Evan pulled the sharpie out of his pocket and held it out to her.
Zoe smiled and grabbed the sharpie from him. She tucked the paper under her arm and uncapped it. Holding onto Evanā€™s arm carefully, Zoe signed her name near the elbow of his cast, putting a dash through the middle of her ā€œZā€ and adding a smiley face next to her name. ā€œThere! Is that okay?ā€
The boy nodded and tucked the sharpie back into his pocket. ā€œYeah, yes. Definitely. I mean, why wouldnā€™t it be? Itā€™s just a stupid name on a stupid cast so I donā€™t see why it wouldnā€™t be okay.ā€ Evanā€™s eyes grew wide as he realized what he had said. ā€œNo! No, I didnā€™t mean your name is stupid! Itā€™s far from stupid, actually. Itā€™s just like names in general, you know? Like, theyā€™re just noises people make to call someones attention. But I, uh, I really didnā€™t mean to call your name stupid. Itā€™s actually really pretty, er, uh, cool. Itā€™s really cool. Thatā€™s really weird, Iā€™m sorry.ā€
Zoe laughed. ā€œI knew what you meant, Evan.ā€ She grabbed the paper from under her arm and held it out to him. ā€œHere. I saw this on the printer when I went to grab some sheet music I printed out.ā€
Evan reached out his arm to grab the paper. ā€œOh, thanks. Thatā€™s just some stupid work for a project,ā€ he explained. Before he could take it, though, Zoe pulled it back towards her. Something had caught her eye.
ā€œā€˜Because thereā€™s Zoe. And all my hope is pinned on Zoe.ā€™ā€ The girl looked up at him, her once happy composure turning into one of slight fear. ā€œThisā€¦this is about me?ā€
ā€œWhat? No! No, I justā€”ā€œ
ā€œAre you like some sort of stalker?ā€
ā€œNo, I swear! Can you justā€”ā€œ
ā€œA pedophile?ā€ Zoeā€™s eyes narrowed as a new thought popped into her mind. ā€œDid Connor put you up to this?ā€
Evan held his breath, unsure of what to say.
ā€œWhen he pushed you, he mustā€™ve told you to do something to get back at me, right?ā€ Zoe curled her fist around the paper, crinkling the edges. ā€œI canā€™t believe I ever thought he wouldnā€™t try me at school,ā€ she mumbled. Zoe bit the inside of her cheek in hopes of controlling the angry tears that were threatening to spill over. ā€œWell, fuck both of you!ā€
And with that, Zoe stomped out of the computer lab, paper still balled up in her fist. Evan felt like his ears were being filled with cotton and weights held down his ankles. What had just happened? Zoe. Zoe Murphy. The girl that Evan was in love with, just left with his letter for Dr. Sherman. Oh no. Zoeā€™s going to tell Connor. And if Zoe tells Connor, Connorā€™s going to get mad. At Evan. Evan didnā€™t know what heā€™d do if Connor got mad at him again. Would he push him again? Would he punch him? Would he break his other arm? Shit. What if Connor breaks his other arm? Then his mom has to pay for him to go to the hospital again. And then sheā€™ll have to pay for the cast again. And then he wouldnā€™t be able to write so heā€™d have to have someone write for him in class. That means he has to talk to someone.
Evan grabbed his backpack and ran out of the lab, into the hallway, and out the front doors of the school as these thoughts clouded his mind. He didnā€™t care that it was a half hour walk home. He just needed to leave. He needed to get away from everything and everyone. He needed to tell someone, though. Evan felt like he would explode if he didnā€™t tell someone. So he called the first person he could think of.
Jared Kleinman.
ā€œHey, Evan. What do you want?ā€ Jared asked when he picked up the phone.
Evan continued to run down the sidewalk, trying his best not to trip so he wouldnā€™t slow down. ā€œSomething bad happened, Jared. Something really, really bad.ā€
ā€œWhat? Did you sell your refills to Connor?ā€
ā€œNo! No, I wouldnā€™t, why would I even? You know what, doesnā€™t matter! You know how I have to write those letters for Dr. Sherman?ā€
ā€œYou mean your sex letters?ā€ Jared laughed.
Evan felt himself relax a bit as he saw his house just down the road. He sprinted to his small, one-story home and, with a shaking hand, pulled his keys out of the front pocket of his backpack. ā€œNo, theyā€™re not sex letters! Theyā€™re letters for my therapist. Iā€™ve explained all of this to you before. Donā€™t you remember?ā€
ā€œEvan, if you donā€™t hurry this up I will hang up on you.ā€
ā€œOh, no please donā€™t.ā€ Evan threw open his front door and tossed his backpack aside. Kicking the door shut, he bolted to his room, closed and locked his bedroom door, and curled up in the corner. ā€œZoe.ā€
ā€œZoe? Yeah, I know youā€™ve got a thing for Zoe,ā€ Jared said with a roll of his eyes.
Evan tucked his knees into his chest and tried his best to steady his breathing. In one, hold two, out three, hold four. Repeat. ā€œZoe saw my letter. She read my letter.ā€
ā€œNot following, man.ā€
ā€œIn the letter! I said ā€˜because thereā€™s Zoe. And all my hope is pinned on Zoe.ā€™ And she thought I pulled a prank on her with Connor and now sheā€™s gonna tell Connor and heā€™s gonna break my other arm!ā€
It was silent for a few moments and Evan thought Jared had actually hung up on him. That was, until he burst out laughing. ā€œHoly shit, Evan! You have both of the Murphy siblings on your bad side? What the fuck were you thinking?ā€
Knock, knock
Evan thought he heard someone knock on the front door, but decided it was just a branch hitting a window. ā€œI didnā€™t do it on purpose! How do I fix this?ā€
Jared calmed down a bit, only letting out soft chuckles. ā€œYou canā€™t fix this, Evan. You just have to let it run its course.ā€
ā€œHey! I know youā€™re here! You left your fucking keys in the door handle out here!ā€
Oh shit. His keys. Evan completely forgot to take his keys out of the door. Was he an idiot or was he an idiot? But that means thereā€™s someone at the door. That means someone at the door wants to talk to him. Someone is at the door yelling at Evan because they want to talk to him.
ā€œNo. Fucking. Way.ā€ Jared burst out laughing. ā€œCorrect me if Iā€™m wrong, and I know Iā€™m not, but I do believe that is the Connor Murphy yelling at you from your front door.ā€
Connor Murphy is at the door yelling at Evan because he wants to talk to him.
ā€œThis oneā€™s all you, bud. Call me if you come out of this alive.ā€
Gripping onto his desk with white knuckles, Evan forced himself off the ground and stuffing his phone into the front pocket of his kakis. He took slow, nervous steps towards the door where Connor Murphy was waiting. Where Connor Murphy was waiting to talk to him. Because he had seen the letter. Oh no. Connor had seen the letter. He had see what Evan wrote about his sister. His sister. Evan was dead.
Evan opened the door, flinching slightly in preparation for Connors attack. Yet, none came. Evan peered up to see Connorā€¦smiling? Could Connor smile? Was that possible? Maybe it wasnā€™t a smile. Maybe it just wasnā€™t an angry face. Maybe any face Connor made that wasnā€™t angry was a smile. Maybe.
ā€œWhy did you write that? About my sister?ā€ Connor asked.
Evan gulped. ā€œIt was just, um, it was for an assignment. For, uh, for a class.ā€
Connor nodded. ā€œRight. Anyways, my mom and dad saw the letter.ā€ Evan swore his heart stopped in that moment. ā€œAnd they thought the same thing Zoe accused me of. That we had plotted together or some shit to get back at her. But my parents aren't that mad, I guess? Theyā€™re actually kinda glad because that means I have a friend?ā€ The boy shook his head. ā€œI know. I get it. Itā€™s some messed up shit. But I need a favor, okay?ā€
Evan couldnā€™t do anything but nod. Why did he nod? Why was he nodding? He couldā€™ve done absolutely anything else but he chose to nod. How messed up was he?
ā€œCan you just, like, pretend to be my friend? For just like two weeks? Then we can pretend we had a fucking fight or whatever. Itā€™s just to get my parents off my back,ā€ Connor explained. He groaned and ran a hand through his hair. ā€œThis is fucking insane. I donā€™t even want to be doing this, but they asked me to invite you over for dinner and I canā€™tā€”ā€œ
ā€œOkay.ā€
Both boys widened their eyes at the soft response.
ā€œAre you fucking serious?ā€
Evan nodded. Why can he only nod?
Connor pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. ā€œCool, I guess. Hereā€™s my address. Weā€™re having dinner in an hour.ā€ With that, Connor walked away from Evanā€™s front door and down the street.
ā€œHoly. Fucking. Shit.ā€
Evan jumped at the sound from his pocket. He pulled his keys out of the door and closed it before taking out his phone. ā€œJared? I thought you hung up?
ā€œAnd miss out on the best conversation Iā€™ve ever heard? Fuck no! So, youā€™re gonna go have dinner with all the Murphyā€™s? You better keep the phone on for me.ā€

Episode #1:Ā ā€œeveryone knows Iā€™m here for the dramaā„¢ļøā€ ~Robbie
Tumblr media
First impressions these people are basic players who wont have very big personalities, and not willing to put a lot of effort into this game. Hopefully thats not the case and its just late so no one is really wide awake :) Because I came to play and I hope thats what everyone else came here to do as wellĀ 
Okay so my plan basically worked, winning the first reward competition by placing a good score has opened up one of many avenues to come. Ryan, and Zeezo want to work with me (bad choice for them since I will be winning this aka taking them out eventually but oh well)
Tumblr media
Him hitting it off really well with this tribe they are all so friendly and welcoming, Ain is my main homegirl at the moment she is the best and jared is a nice friendly face so it should be interesting to see what the coming days are like.
so not 30 minutes in and meowth comes out with the question "what if someones racist" which to me carried an air of accusation it was public and clearly meant for all to see it just gives me a bit of an icky feeling towards meowth
I'm glad that others are getting higher scores than me because i definitely don't want to be presenting as a threat in challenges particularity not the first day so i just am hoping that ill land middle of the pack challenge wise
so this immunity is fun i love puzzles like these even though they are hard tbh im not completly happy about our chances but i hope we can push through and win or the other tribes internet fucks up, either or really
so right now the vote seems to be between Robbie and Mewoth (Josh) and tbh i dont care which goes because they havent spoken to me but whatever, in any case id rather keep someone who actually contributed to the challenge and if he doesn't step it up then Josh will be gone next
Going into tribal council i am very nervous, you never know where the vote is until the votes are read and if im on the wrong side of the vote i might not be around much longer
Tumblr media
I dont know whats gonna go down here but i hope i do well
reunited with lukas my love
she sells seashells at the seashore
why is the first vote already so confusing and wild.... just decide on a person
Tumblr media
WHATS UPPPP!!! Canā€™t say much because Iā€™m busy but Iā€™m stoked!!! Only two other girls on my team tho :/ but itā€™s ok! I have Stephen who I know but Iā€™ll get into all that later and I have lukas and Sammy on the other tribe who I LOVE TO DEATH but obviously canā€™t tell anyone that. Ain is on the other side who I hate but I just hope she gets voted out and we never have to interact :ā€™)
Tumblr media
Honestly, living my best life and enjoying the brief small talk with my tribe mates. So far getting a good vibe from everyone but lets be real, shit (I can curse right... I lowkey have always wanted to say that) is definitely going to go down as soon as something goes wrong. But like *shrug*.Ā 
OK LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT TIME THAT I DIDNT WANT TO GRAB THE LIGHT AND SHINE IT ON ME AND WE WIN FIRST IMMUNITY AND I GET SENT TO PARADISE ISLAND!!!!!!!!! Yeah, because like, screw the idea of trying to lay a tad low for the first vote. But hey, I guess when you are working with Zeezo and she tells you the immunity boxes must be evens because of the clue she got, and then you get sent to PI, it can't be all that bad. I'm so shook I don't even know if I'm making sentences rn hahaha. I hate saying this, but like I am so happy with where I am rn, but I def know there is so much more work to put in before my tribe ends up going to tribal. AND SPEAKING OF TRIBES, WHET ON EARTH? Two abstains in the reward and then a tie and only two points in the immunity challenge for Yalos? Did they also think they were cast in ANTM because like same. We've all been there, amiright? Can they continue to do this so I can just breeze my way to merge and start playing this game already??? Please and thank you.Ā 
When I wake up and realize I have so much work to do for school but at least I don't have to worry about going to tribal tonight! I aint mad! At least Im not gonna be the Francesca of this season soooooooo.....Ā 
So... ya boy just beat Jared in a word search comp... and beat him... and went to Super Paradise Island... and idk which greek god is on my side, but one them has ya boy's back because he just the sapphire gem... Like no big deal... I didn't expect to be the first voted out and then just somehow came across getting one of the first big advantages of the game... WE ARE ALL FINE GUYS!!!
Tumblr media
I have Oakley, who voted me out on Athena: Himalayas and Olivia, who I voted out on Atomic: Isle of Skye on my tribe. And my immediate thought is I want to work with them. Olivia more than Oakley, I donā€™t have any beef with him from another season but he is sneaky. However my strategy especially at this point in the game is just make lersonal connections and pretend to have the strategic knowledge of a goldfish. Hereā€™s hoping it works.
So far Iā€™ve talked to most people but some are easier to connect to than others, Joanna seems the most distant, she responds but it doesnā€™t feel friendly. But we won, so weā€™re all good this round. I really hope Ain goes home, shes manipulative, vindictive and isnā€™t afraid to use underhanded tactics.
Tumblr media
WOAH! So after being recommended to play by a friend, I found out he ALSO recommended Miles to play, although in the other tribe.. I have someone I know here although I kinda got them eliminated in a Twitter Survivor... Hmmm... So far in Kalafati tribe, Im liking Miles and Joanna, Haven't had much contact with the others but they seem really cool. Im so excited to play, Especially with winning a lucky hidden immunity Idol
Iā€™m still waving the flag
Iā€™m still waving the flag I hate that challenge. I got a respectable score but if i did all that just to have the Yalos player stop after a low score, I'll be sad
Tumblr media
My first impressions of the tribe is pretty positive! No immediate negative figures jump out at me. I'm still testing the waters, trying to figure out if any people are potentials for alliance members. Some people like Olivia, Jacob, Miles, Stephen and Thomas have reached out to me which makes them seem like good potentials for friends. However, I want to see how the reward challenge goes before I can evaluate my teammates further.Ā 
It's amazing that we won the reward challenge and I'm so happy that I performed as well as I did. However, I am worried about the immunity challenge. I'm happy with the flash game, but the controls are really wacky and I already know it will take forever to get used to.
I'm honestly a little worried seeing that I didn't preform very well in the immunity challenge. Thankfully, we still managed to pull off a win and we didn't have to worry about tribal. Speaking of tribal, I don't think there is anyway Robbie is going to stay, seeing that he abstained in the reward and striked in the immunity. Also, I feel like I want to work with Olivia, but Miles also seems like a good person to work with, but I haven't approached either of them yet. Still weighing my options and figuring out the best way to proceed.Ā 
Tumblr media
Honestly it doesnā€™t seem like anyone is playing hard yet which is annoying me. Because I want to play hard, but if no one else is people can get sketched out by highly strategic, social players
Honestly if I finess this vote and stay in the game after forfeiting two comps it will be hilarious. But everyone knows Iā€™m here for the dramaā„¢ļø Hope no one gets blind sided
Tumblr media
So the first night went..... alright. My tribe wasnā€™t as energetic or as talkitive as I had expected. It appears as though I am on a tribe with all gay men, which sounds nice in theory, but Iā€™m bracing for the moment these twinks start wildin. Aside from the gays, I know Ain from a past org and am starting to warm back up to her. We will probs stick together for awhile. As of now, thatā€™s all.Ā 
Robbie, queen of being inactive and making cases to stay last minute, came to me with the idea of booting Meowth instead. I said hell yeah! All for that shit! Not that I donā€™t like Meowth, itā€™s just I would love to do something unexpected for the first tribal. However, Sammy and Michael seem to be so against it for some reason. Lord knows why. Iā€™m going to aim to be in the majority, but I may just cast my vote for Meowth for the hell of it.Ā 
Ok I donā€™t quite remember what my last confessional was but I know for a fact I fucked up the names. Robbie is the one on the line, Sammy is just another gay. I swap their names all of the time.Ā 
Tumblr media
I really like this tribe so far! Everyone seems pretty chill and it's nice to know that at the moment, nobody is really mean-spirited. I know that Jacob has some past with the other Miles, but he's on the other tribe, so there's really no past relationships to deal with either, at least that I know of! I think that by far, I'd probably like to align with Olivia and Joanna for sure, and maybe Stephen, Zeezo, Ā Oakley, and Julian as well? I'd rather not get into scheming this early! I think it'd be much better for my game at the moment not to be the leader or figurehead of a group, but rather an updated member. I guess I'll have to see!
Tumblr media
Alright so... Not a whole lot is going on, it's just the start of the game, we're just doing the first reward challenge. This tribe is just a bit too large for my taste but whatever, I'll manage. Getting to know all these people is interesting, which is funny because the absolute LAST word I would use to describe myself is "interesting"
I'm not entirely sure what use one would have for a fire making kit in an online survivor. Am I meant to set my laptop on fire? ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING????????? lmao...
There's a few people that I'm getting great vibes from. Miles would probably be the biggest one rn. I would love nothing more than to get some sort of alliance going sooner rather than later JUST IN CASE but like I don't want to be the one to actively go out and do it because if someone leaks RIP ME. Idk what I'm doing just yet. We'll figure this out.
We won the first immunity and don't have to vote anyone out, that's awesome. I can't help but feel just a little concerned though, everyone's almost a little TOO peaceful on this tribe. I'm not saying I'd want to LOSE a comp and have to face tribal but the reads I'm getting from everyone is giving me a sense of unease. I do enjoy winning though and wouldn't mind winning out. I'm just saying, I feel very uneasy with the vibes I'm receiving. Good lord I just repeated myself there. Oh well.
Tumblr media

I think it'd be much better for my game at the moment not to be the leader or figurehead of a group, but rather an updated member. I guess I'll have to see!
Tumblr media
I think I'm pretty safe after this immunity challenge. I was one of 2 people to win the head to head for my tribe and therefore I have a chance to go to Paradise Island! I'm trying my best NOT to go though because I think that would put a target on my back very early on.
Right now my closest ally is Matt and I feel that we have a strong bond. We're each other's #1's and talking back and forth over who should go tonight. I'm very torn for who I'm voting for at tribal tonight, it's either Meowth (Josh) or Robbie. I've heard that Robbie may have gotten the majority but I don't feel 100% on wanting him still in the game. Yes, Meowth is weak in challenges but he's another easy vote moving forward in the future.
Tumblr media
So, what's been going for me so far? Ā Well, reward challenge I busted my ass and showed what I can do, which was great! Ā WE lost, which sucks, and 2 people didn't submit. Ā Those 2 were Miles and Robbie. Ā This made me upset, mostly because Miles I know from my Minecraft UHC days, so we made an instant alliance from that. Ā Robbie I didn't care about. Ā Then came immunity, where once again, Robbie was unable to compete, and I still stand by that I was robbed in my challenge because of a shit quality image, but this is what I'm used to from online games like this, so I'll move on (eventually). Ā We got rekt in immunity, and the obvious choice was looking like Robbie for not submitting twice. Ā So, being the intelligent player I am, I basically pitched to Robbie that he was going home unless he made a better pitch about someone else. Ā He aimed at Michael, someone who I somewhat wanted to work with at the time (in hind sight, I wouldn't have cared much). Ā I proposed, instead, we vote for meowth (Joshua) because he just rubbed me the wrong way, under-performed, and refused to talk game strategy with me at all. Ā I pulled in Lukas and Jared, as well as had Ain in my pocket, and with the acquiring of Sammy by both me and Robbie, the vote should be set in our favor. Ā I'm still trying to convince Miles to roll with us so he's not on the losing end of the vote, but I think its 50/50 whether he will or won't. Ā Honestly, I feel pretty safe with this vote, being that I was a top performer and have shown how active I strive to be in these games. Ā I'm not super worried about this vote and hope that Robbie sticks around. Ā Hopefully, he becomes a powerful player and a big help in challenges. Ā If he's not, he'll go next for sure. Ā Let's hope I don't live to regret these words!
Tumblr media
I think Iā€™m in a pretty safe spot right now, but we def have people who think they are running the show around here...SIT DOWN or else youā€™ll become a target earlyšŸ˜‰ but I like everyone just donā€™t know who we should keep...someone who hasnā€™t been active or someone who tries but does not communicate. Eh either way Iā€™m not on the chopping block sooooo. Okay wow that sounds rude but um i like everyone:) yikes
Tumblr media
Honestly, this is a fung ame and a fun set of people. Just hope my time here isn't too short.
Tumblr media
So far I feel pretty good about my tribe even though there a couple people I forgot to ever talk to oops. We seem to be good at challenges and get along well. I've connected most with Ryan so far and told him my idol clue to gain his trust. He's told me he trusts me the most out of anyone so that's good. After we talked we decided to pull in a 3rd and settled with Thomas since he got the best score in the reward challenge. After consulting with Ryan I decided to share my clue with Thomas too and the 3 of us officially performed an alliance. I think with this alliance my goal is to think more long term. Thomas is probabaly going to on Tinder performing well at challenges and be a shield for me. He also doesn't seem to talk to a lot of other people. Meanwhile Ryan seems like the type of person who might play too hard so he could be another shield. Plus we get along really well so far so that's good :') We might pull in a 4th for the alliance later since Thomas is kind of inactive and Ryan suggested Stephen so I'm interested to see how that will pan out. In other news Ryan got sent to paradise island and got the sapphire gem thing so that's great :') So if one of us finds the idol we should have great power in the game so I'm looking forward to the rest of the gameĀ 
Tumblr media
Nothing is going really because we have been on a winning streak and have been crushing it. I knew Stephen from a previous game and we agreed to work together. He is not being extremely subtle about it but I think he wants to work with Olivia because he has mentioned her a lot and how he likes her. I don't mind that because I do like her but I am worried about the two of them being closer to each other than to me because I know they know each other. I am really liking Ryan as well and would like to work with him. I am worried I am not being as social as I should be because I do notice that I don't talk to as many people as I would like. Miles I have talked to a bit but haven't built much of a relationship with him and everyone else I have said hi to and talked to a bit but I haven't really built anything or know anything about them. I just hope we can win long enough for me to build those relationships because I am worried that I am one of the two people to lose my round in the immunity challenge.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.
Tumblr media
Fill out & repost! This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OCā€™s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lilā€™ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
My muse is: canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless /
Is your character popular in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / i would say sheā€™s popular in the jpn fandom rather than the eng since i do know people in the western side likes Elise more than her since not everyone isn't a fan of the shy little sister healerā„¢
Is your character considered hotā„¢ in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / IDK. Sheā€™s just cute doesn't make it better from what anons ive been getting making my stomach churnĀ 
Is your character considered strong in the fandom? Ā YES / NO / somewhat between i believe
Are they underrated? Ā YES / NO. / well itā€™s a between tbh
Were they relevant for the main story? Ā YES / NO. / does some parts of the story count?
Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / i mean sheā€™s their sibling so it be strange if she wasnā€™t
Are they widely known in their world? Ā YES / NO. / Maybe if you count her being the princess
Howā€™s their reputation? Ā GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL /Ā 
How strictly do you follow canon? Ā 
I do follow the fates canon as i can but some of their writing i just donā€™t even want to accept that for sakura like how no one once defended Azura during her stay in Hoshido while the siblings just ignore it?Ā  yeah hell no thats the part i wont agree with in canon tbh
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. Ā 
Well sheā€™s kind, wants to get stronger, adorable, donā€™t make her upset (thanks Azama), trying to being nice to those who are rude to her, her archery/healing skills, broken(thanks feh i still donā€™t have halloween sakura STILL), fun to use in fe:w,Ā Ā she even punches Iago to save Azura.Ā 
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?)
This..i dont know i am aware in some popular opinions about her that sheā€™s boring, too shy yeah i can get it but from her back story about the rumored kidnapping i feel like people tend to forget that, hated her voice(btw i like her eng VA but her jpn one..i heard about the infamous incident with her and yikes), dislikes shy little sister healers, sakura idk i know people just prefers Elise than her and yeah
What inspired you to RP your muse? Ā 
I wanted to try rping in the fe rp community my first option was f!Robin who married Stahl or Priam but when Fates was announced i kind of saw Sakura since her design was cute and interesting so i just pick her
What keeps your inspiration going?
Daily stuff, trying to make some new verses for her, japanese events, the things i seen or just whatever comes on my mind fits for her.Ā 
Some more personal questions for the mun.
Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.
Do you think you give your character justice? Ā YES / NO. / I hope so i am even more worried i made her ooc in some rp moments
Do you frequently write headcanons? Ā YES / NO./ I mostly write ship hcs or verse hcs
Do you sometimes write drabbles? Ā YES / NO. / itā€™s mostly private ones i dont post them since i worry it make people sleep lolĀ 
Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? Ā YES / NO.Ā 
Are you confident in your portrayal? Ā  YES / NO.Ā 
Are you confident in your writing? Ā YES / NOĀ 
Are you a sensitive person? Ā YES / NO. / i dont think i can take criticism well to be honest had bad ones before
Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?
I do but i rather have ones that are too mean or too harsh that iā€™m not sure if itā€™s a hate or advices
Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?
Of course!
If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?
Even if they like my hcs or not iā€™m not here to please them i dont want to know why if you dislike it thats you but itā€™s my hc not yours since everyone has different hcs of characters
If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?
Tbh some rpers portrays Sakura differently i did mention if you donā€™t like how i portray my muse then the unfollow button is thereĀ 
If someone really hates your character, how do you take it? Ā 
Okay If itā€™s a muse that hates her (along with her siblings) for reasons in their oc story or a hc then i will let this slide itā€™s their muse not the mun but if you sending hate to my muse just because you hate her itā€™s not coolĀ  :/ i do have some friends/people i know who hates Sakura and honestly i just dont bring it up to them
Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?

i donā€™t really feel like i ask for much. idk maybe iā€™m wrong
most of the things i own are either things ive saved up for and bought myself or second-hand objects from family members. only a few things that i own were actually bought by a parent or sibling.
every year when my birthday comes, i insist that my family donā€™t buy me anything. a simple dinner with family, and just a few small gifts like socks or even chocolates will keep me happy. even my parents have always said that i never ask for anything, and whenever i do, itā€™s very rare.
with my 21st tomorrow, i didnā€™t really want anything for my birthday. but, my parents surprised me with a trip to another country for a few days which is wonderful and something that suits me just right for my 21st. iā€™m not a party person and i donā€™t like to boast often about the things i receive, so iā€™ve just been getting excited quietly.
a few years ago, my sister bought herself a gorgeous opal ring with diamonds on it. i fell in love with the ring and asked my sister if sheā€™d give it to me in the future if she doesnā€™t want it anymore, and she agreed. with my 21st coming up, i was hoping that she would give it to me as she doesnā€™t wear it anymore and her fingers are too big for it.
it was the only thing ive asked for
i was told to pay Ā£600 for it. i am in no place to be spending such money, and I donā€™t even haveĀ that money. i thought that after accepting to be the godmother for her child, and buying her an expensive ring for her birthday that maybe she would give me this ring for at least half of that price
instead, sheā€™s selling it to my mother and instructing her to give it to the baby in question when sheĀ turns 21.
words canā€™t fucking describe how hurt i am over this. whenever i give people things, i never ask for anything in return. hell, when people offer me things, i always say no.Ā because i donā€™t enjoy people gifting me things. i feel bad and guilty for someone spending their hard-earned money on me, because people need money these days.
but the fact that my own family care more about money than family speaks volumes about them.Ā 
i could definitely dig up all the shit my sister did to me when i was growing up that crushed my self-esteem and helped ruin my self-worth. but i wonā€™t fucking do that. i wish i could, but i wont
i just feel like my own flesh and blood donā€™t give a shit about me sometimes. my sister was never a generous person in any respect, but i didnā€™t expect this much greediness.Ā

my thoughts on the bullshit (marvel vs capcom: infinite)
its so fuckin wack. when they announced 2v2 i was hoping it was gonna be like tatsunoko (which is the best vs series imo) and its not Awful but it feels a lot slower and kinda clunkier? idk the parts i did like was that tagging feels more dynamic and i like the idea of the gems being like the grooves in cvs2 but thatā€™s it? im not a fan of the autocombos and the down down motions shouldnā€™t be in a capcom game with all the other quarter circles and charges etc. i definitely do need to spend more time with it and hearing about how creative you can be with the mechanics from the pros that are playing it at e3 is a good sign but idk first impressions from me arenā€™t good.
but ok enough about gameplay i wanna talk about the real shit. that being capcom and disney and the fgc because i think thatā€™s the real reason why this game is gonna be so blah
im a huge marvel head bc it was the first fighting game i really got into once i discovered the fgc (and you know its fun as hell and the first friends i made in college were the kids down the hall i played umvc3 with every weekend). part of the reason why its so fun is because its so God Damn HYPE like look at this shit and tell me you dont get fired up watching this vid and wanna play:
youtube
and this brings me into the main reason why i think this game is gonna be bad and flop again and its marvel and disney. we already know about capcoms money, lack of talent, and planning issues with their fighting game department and mvci is set to repeat all the same mistakes they did with sfv (lacking content, corny ass story mode, small roster, LOTS OF DLC) but thatā€™s just one part of it.
the whole game to me just wreaks of a cash grab from disney/marvel to both 1. get that sweet sweet injustice money 2. sell more mcu stuff to nerds and 3. get more people invested in the fighting game market to benefit capcom. yes i understand games are made to make money. the point iā€™m trying to make here is that this is the result when you get game and media companies who donā€™t understand why fans love something and try to make something as a response to it.
the modern marvel owned by disney and the pieces of media they put out are carefully constructed and sanitized to show you what they want to see, which is what makes them the most money and what gets you looking away from the other studios that control the rest of their characters, notably xmen. i guarantee you someone at disney was shown the above video about mvc hype and was likeĀ ā€œoh we dont want this kind of crowd at our game. this is gonna scare away people.ā€ this coupled with the whole simplification aspect of the game (which iā€™ll get to in a bit) shows that disney doesnā€™t really know how the fgc works or how people get excited about these games which is big moments, nostalgia and generally fun shit! not the cheesy ass story mode theyā€™re making which based on the demo is mcu and capcom characters doing nothing but saying each otherā€™s names and having cheeky banter with the lads then punching some robots. the whole game itself feels very MCU oriented from the looks to the sounds and it makes for one really uncompelling package thatā€™s a lot less hype than previous games in the series.
im all for making fighting games more accessible and helping the scene grow but the simplification of the controls and inputs feels really half baked and it seems like capcom doesnā€™t really know how to draw newbies in. replacing shoryuken inputs but leaving in charges and reverting back to the more complex mvc2 style buttons (lp, lk, hk, hp) as opposed to a friendlier l m h s from mvc3 seems weird and the down down input they added doesnā€™t fit in with the vibe of the other move inputs as well. as injustice has shown us making a Good ass game with a lot of single player content will get people interested in fighting games enough to buy em and some of those new players will eventually learn enough to get good and start competing. for whatever reason capcom cannot learn these lessons and i feel like the choices they made to simplify the game might turn off current players and thus make the game less popular, leading to a loss loss situation between fg pros and newcomers.
idk this is a wicked messy post but marvel is the game that got me really into FGs and iā€™ve made so many friends through it and to see what was my favorite fighting game become the lifeless husk we have now is so depressing but i hope capcom learns something from this (they prob wont). weā€™ll see how it turns out i guess. lmk what you think of all this too

Cost of Cancelling multiple 6-month car insurance policies in US?
I am 18 years old, male, clean driving record, good student, going to college. I will only be going home for occasional weekends, and vacations, and I would like to be insured so I can drive my car (saturn 2000 sl) around. I don't want to pay for the high cost of permanent car insurance, but want to be insured when I need it. I looked up ways to get temporary (short term) car insurance and I basically found that if you are under 21, you cannot pay daily or weekly. I also found that US insurance companies generally offer policies that are at least 6 months. Since I want tthen you can only get 6month or 1 year policies. They suggest getting the 6 month policy and paying monthly, and then simply canceling the policy once I am done with it. Therefore if I did this, I would be buying and canceling many policies every year. I would maybe do this a few weekends every semester and also winter, spring, and summer break. So basically I want to save money by foregoing yearly car insurance, but instead would like to do what I stated above. The big question is: IS IT WORTH IT? Ordering, and then cancelling up to six to eight 6-month policies, each paying for the first monthly payment. Note: I currently have MetLife. Thanks!!""
What happens when a car insurance company commits fraud? Please help!!?
I was told by my car insurance that my car was totaled, and would only be good for parts. It was in a MINOR flood, and I called to have it evaluated. They said water was in the motor, fuse boxes, everything was ruined supposedly. I knew they were lying, because I had my fiance check it all out, and there wasn't a drop in it except for the carpeting. I told them so, and said I wanted the car back to fix it myself, but the adjustor said they already paid my bank for the damage (not even the full amount, they came up with about 45% of the payoff amount, but it was worth what I owed on it). They said if I wanted it back, I would have to give them $2,700 for the car. I said to hell with it, and had to come up with 2,600 to pay off the remaining part of the loan, and then go buy another car. Last year, I seen my car in the next town over. Same vin number, same paint chipped bumper, same fist mark behind the passenger door. I was mad, but blew it off. Then, I seen it on a buy sell trade site and decided to inquire about the details. The guy bought it for $800 and didn't have to fix anything on it except for what I needed to fix before the flood (window regulator, wheel baring, and new tires). He told me he thought I had committed insurance fraud to get a pay out from them. So, I called my old insurance company, and the lady took all my information down and gave me the adjustor's number, the adjustor's supervisor's number, and the fraud department's number. I called the adjustor, left a message, and then filed a claim with the fraud department. They said to expect a call from them next week. What exactly happens in a case like this?? I don't expect a hefty payout or anything, but still, I've never known anyone who had this happen to them, but I do know people who committed insurance fraud. They get into huge trouble and pay out fines, but what if its the INSURANCE that commits fraud? Thanks!!""

What do you know about car insurance / car-totaled?
What is the law? You have a car; it is rated @ $3,800.00 book value. Another driver hits you in the rear at a Pa. borough crosswalk as you are traveling through and have stopped for a person crossing the street. You are nearly pushed into the pedestrian, but thankfully you were able to stop your car in time. The other driver is in the wrong of course; but how much does the offending driver's insurance company need to pay to fix your car? I'm having a problem - my estimate is $3,277.00. I am told to look for the car to be totaled and 80% of the book value is what the insurance company is required to pay. Does anyone know is this is true? This car is a 1999 but only has 58,000 miles on it and is in mint condition. I have owned it for 4 years and during that time have not put a penny in it for parts & repairs. To get another, I would take a great chance on getting one which is not nearly such good quality. I'm wondering if the insurance company has a maximum that they will pay for repairing - if so maybe I could add a little to it so I can keep this car? Didn't appreciate it so much until after the accident!!!!""

How does car insurance work in Illinois?
This is something I have been confused about for the longest time. Instead of referencing me to a site, please explain it in your own words. Is it the same as in other states, and does it differ by company? In North Dakota, as long as the car is insured, virtually anybody can drive it. There is no such thing as individual insurance per family member or crap like that. I live in Chicago, and my family has Geico. My parents said they won't let me drive the cars because I need my own insurance card, which would cost $130/month, which we can't afford. I've had my license for almost 4 years now. Recently I have noticed a lot of my friends driving, who said they drive under their parents insurance. One friend has Safeway and says she has always driven under her dad's insurance, and when she gets pulled over the cops say nothing against it. Another friend has Allstate and says she has her own insurance, but on an older car, so when she drives her parent's cars, she carries her dad's insurance. And that that's perfectly fine and legal. So I am completely lost. Does it differ by company? I thought policies were state-wide. Is what they're doing actually illegal? Do I need my own insurance card? How does this work?! I need to drive!""

Should I take the defensive driving course? What else? I've tried to shop around but GEICO gives me the best deal at $4000. Some other companies would not insure me at all. Others wanted thousands more. What should I do? I really like the convenience of having a car and I would probably cry if I had to sell it. I've had a car since I was 19 and I'm 26 now.""

Life insurance?
Is life insurance mainly to help other people like your wife and kids if you lose your job? My mom started life insurance with us when we were kids and still pays for it. I am 39 and may never get married. Should my mom continue to pay on this policy? I am not real sure what life insurance is for but I don't feel she should continue paying it for me. Please advise me on this.

How is my motorcycle insurance so CHEAP?
Okay so im looking into buying a motorcycle this summer. Ill be turning 18, and have always wanted a bike. So i was looking at how much insurance would cost me for it because i hear that its expensive and im a full time student and work minimum wage job, so its not like i have money just to shoot out my *** for fun. I was looking at progressive, because they show instant online quotes so i dont have to actually call in and give my real name and social security # and stuff like that. So i go onto progressive's, and enter all my real info like age and stuff(but lie about my actual address and name and email cause i dont want constant ads and spam). And i got cheaper than expected quotes.....So i put in, 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250r. Male. Turning 18 in july. Put in that i have motorcycle endorsement and taken safety course(i havent yet, but i will by the time i actually own a bike and have to buy insurance for real). No accidents or tickets. 0 years riding experience(although i ran multiple quotes and noticed price drops by $29 for a 12month policy if youve had even 1 year of riding experience, which is nice). And i got a quote for $285 12month policy. For Bodily Injury & Property Damage 50/100/25. Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury 25/50. $100 deductible on comprehensive for bike(again i ran multiple quotes, and changing the deductible amount on comprehensive only saves a few bucks). $500 deductible for collision(this deductible amount changes your rate incredibly). No other coverage. Got quoted $285...seems kinda cheap to me considering im so young? Not complaining that i save money....just wondering if this sounds normal? Random insurance question, lets say im riding my bike and going at a good speed, say 45+mph. Then fall and completely eat ****. I injure and damage only myself and my bike. Lets say my bike needs some repairs or maybe even replacing, and my leg is broken or something like that. Will any insurance cover any costs since it was my fault to my own personal injury? Is this when health insurance kicks in for medical bills? And would motorcycle insurance pay for any of this? If so, which kind? Like comprehensive, collision, liability, under-insured motorist? Because i have no idea. This next part might be a little hard to understand, so ill try my best. But i ran multiple quotes and changed the age i said i was, for instance, i put in my real birthday on one July 1996, than i put July 1995 on another just to see how much the rate goes for a 18yr old, because once i actually get the bike i will be 18. The quote where i put my real birthday and said i was 17, got quoted $285, the quote where i said i was already 18, got quoted $319.....how is that possible that i get a $34 cheaper quote for being younger??? I feel like someone at progressive online site is trolling me and getting my hopes up now, just to see me go ape **** when i actually go get a real quote. Thanks!""

""With the new Health care law, we will all have to get health insurance, but what do they consider affordable?""
I have seen some health care plans for $100 a month and up, but I can't afford that. The other plans I have seen for $50 a month, will not pay much of your bill and they all have a $2,500 deductible or much higher and a huge co-pay amount. I need something much cheaper than that, which will cover a lot more of the bill. There is no way I can pay a $2,500 deductible! I also can not afford to pay $100/ month for coverage! What does the Fed government consider cheep and affordable? Where can I get a GOOD health plan that will pay most of my bill and not have to pay an arm and a leg each month? What will the govt. do for people like me who just plain can not pay that much money for health care? When will that new law make the prices go down significantly? How can I get medicare?""

How do I cancel Primerica life insurance policy?
I was briefly a Primerica rep about 2 years ago. While I was a rep, I purchased a Primerica Life Insurance policy at their suggestion. About 6 months later I quit. I still have the policy. Now it seems like a complete waste of money. It is $37 per month, and I really have no need for life insurance. I am a bachelor, and nobody depends on my income. I called the Primerica number, and the recording said to cancel a policy, send them a letter in the mail requesting cancellation with the policy number. That seems awfully vague. Is there anything else I need to put on the letter? Do I need to send the letter certified mail so they can't say, We never received it, and keep charging me every month? Dumb questions. Sorry.""

""Was in a fender bender, not my fault but I have no auto insurance...advice?""
I live in LA, California. I was hit at a gas station -- a car backed into my front left door... My car was the only one with noticeable damage. However, I have no auto insurance. I also don't have a lot of money to get either cars fixed. I don't really care to get my car fixed since it's a 92 nissan stanza about to die out on me. I just don't want to get in trouble for not having insurance...Their auto insurance has already called and sent a letter to have my insurance rep contact them to work out a deal to fix my car. They are already claiming it to be their fault.... Should I call their insurance rep and let them know that I do not want to put down a claim? Or call the guy who hit me personally and let him know I don't want to put down a claim? Could they find out that I have no insurance and figure out a way to get me in trouble? I only gave them my name, address, phone number and driver's licence number. Side note: The car is registered under my sister. Her registration and license have been suspended due to a DUI. Will they find out about this and find a way to get me/us in trouble?""

Anyone who has state farm car insurance?
i'm going to be 17 soon and i'm planning on getting my permit. i live with my aunt so if i get my license i would most likely be under her name for insurance. the problem is that shes worried that if i do get into a huge car accident, then theres a chance that we would lose our house. but i really need to drive because i need to work and my aunt is working too so it would be hard for her to drive me to work. she also said that car insurance for teens is really expensive and i know that that's true. what should i do? by the way she has state farm insurance and i would need to get a car to drive if i get my license because my aunt only has one car right now. but im definitely not going to get a new car, probably a used compact car like honda, mitsubishi, or hyundai because i know that the age of your car and the type of car you drive effects how much your insurance will cost. any advice on what i should do?""

I was told by a friend of mine who is an insurance agent that ANY insurance company in CA has to cover her if she has a valid license and does NOT live in the same household as the policyholder (coverage would be extended to her also as long as I verify she was authorized to drive the car).
