#i do love this show its a blast but like why start things you dont finish every finale was like a cliffhanger and then the next season woul

[nandor-the-relentless-apologist]

also i do think my opinions of this finale are coloured by seeing this as a weaker season overall with a unsteady/unclear throughline that consistently had me feeling like "so...where are we going with this?"

+ this shows inability to complete a story arc, like its a fucking hilarious show the comedy writing is 💯 BUT they could never figure out how seriosuly they wanted to take storylines/character arcs as a sitcom so that i think left me and others a little unfillfiled and disjointed in the end cause the answer was "these are static characters. except when they are not and it fits the bit."

Theres a lot of boyfriends out there, which one are they ?

Multi Chara, Haikyuu, Fluff

Best Ever !! Honestly, your friends are tired of hearing about how great he is. When you asked for his phone password out of curiosity, he just have you a strange look. "I dont have a password ?" Every time you split a snack, you got the larger piece. While walking down the streets, hed interlock your fingers and make sure you weren't close to the road. He'd always place his hand over the edges of counters to block your head from hitting it, and he always saved hot water for you.

You met his family early on, and they adore you ! Hes open and accepting about whatever family situation you have, and is comfortable waiting or being unable to meet your family. Your safety and happiness are his top priority when hes with you, and hed do anything to make you feel better.

- Sugawara, Ukai, Ennoshita, Akaashi, Kita, Sachiro, Aran, Yasufumi, Daichi, Iwaizumi, Osamu

Cuteeee !! Hes great, just a little shy and sometimes awkward. Hes on the path to become the best boyfriend, hes just new to all of this. His hands get sweaty easily while holding hands, but he never wants to let go. Under thick blankets during winter, or with a blasting AC in summers wrathful heat, he finds solitude in clinging to you.

Small gifts and pressed flowers, homemade snacks that started out tragic and slowly got more edible. Winking at you during volleyball, "This is for you !" right before his failed serve hit the net. Looks at you like a lost puppy, always following you around.

- Hinata, Inuoka, Takeda, Atsumu, Komori, Bokuto, Lev Haiba, Tadashi, Goshiki, Asahi, Hisashi, Kuroo, Hanamaki, Kindaichi, Konoha

Quite, for sure.. It can be a bit hard to communicate with him, its just too hard to tell what hes thinking ! Unless you directly ask, he'll bottle everything up. Hes not terrible, of course ! You know hes not the type to date someone he doesn't like, he just has trouble showing it. But in his small ways, he does.

Sticky note doodles and letters, getting embarrassed after accidentally ranting about volleyball or any other interest, giving you the first and last bite of everything, driving you or walking with you everywhere. If youve been dating for a while, he often prefers to show his affection through soft, quiet, touches. Petting your hair, tracing your hips, scratching your back, he needs his hands on you.

- Kenma, Kageyama, Ushijima, Sakusa, Suna, Nobuyuki, Aone

Kinda meaaaaan ! Like.. yea.. you guessss you love him (jkkk!!?), so why does he need to tease you so much ! If you're shorter, hes always using you as an armrest or bumping into you on purpose because he 'couldnt see you.' You make one mistake, and suddenly you're a "dumbass" or a "silly idiot." Rarely does he ever actually insult you, but its been an ongoing mission of yours to get his hardass to be a little romantic for once.

And of course, he has his sweet moments, but come the next day. "You look like shit." Whether you bicker back, turning it into a play fight, him never letting you win, enjoying the way he had you pinned down. Or, you could smile at him, you had his shirt on and his favorite pair of shorts, hair freshly conditioned and makeup still light and unsmeared. You knew, as much as he loved to be a bully, all it took was a soft smile for him to melt.

- Tsukishima, Yaku, Mad Dog, Kunimi, Hoshiumi

Um.. hes a little weird !! It probably took a minute for you to introduce him to your friends and family. You never knew what he was about to do or say, he always did something different or odd. Whether it be borderline scary or straight up stupid, it was one of the things you loved about him. All things considered, he was absolutely hilarious.

He eventually became like a son and friend to those close to you. Not a lot of people understood him, and as unserious as he is, he genuinely is thankful you not only stayed with him, but gave him friends and family too.

- Shohei, Tendou, Nishinoya, Tanaka, Oikawa

You dont love me anymore

Oswald Cobb x Black!reader

Y/n thinks Oswald is cheating on her.

You and Oz had been married for about a year at this point everything was good. Then when Vic came everything was better that is until Sofia came back. Sofia was gorgeous you couldn't deny that. Way prettier than yourself you believed. And when you say how close Oz and Sofia had gotten it made you sick to your stomach. He would never talk about business when he was home it was a rule you created. You didn't want to know how many people he had killed you never liked knowing those things. But that same rule had you hurt in the long run. You wanted to know what they were doing and any time you’d ask about Sofia hed say “there aint nobody else in the world I want but you” or “your all I need baby you know that” or even “its just business” but something was off. 

You had waited for Oz to come home and it was around 12 when you decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes go by of just laying there and you were so close to sleep but you heard the door open and soon after felt the bed dip. You took in his smell It wasnt any perfume you owned or any he owned. It killed you. 

The next moring you saw oz getting ready and wanted to do something nice so if he was cheating youd hope hed fell bad and this would pull him back to earth a bit, so you made him breakfast.

“I made you breakfast ozzie” I say with a smile he walked into the kitchen and kissed me then just held me for a moment.

“Thank you sweetheart” he said and took a piece of bacon popping it into his mouth.

“Hm this is good baby”

“You think so?” I said with a smile

“I know so” He said grabbing my hips

“Whats the plan today huh?” I ask

“Im going with Sofia-” I and with that name my face fell and I bit my lip. All noise was drowned out. Thank god he was behind me. 

“Hey sweetheart you good?” he asked I shook my head, yes bitting my lip. I didn't want to come off as the jealous wife so I just stayed silent as he continued with what he was gonna do today. Then he looked at his watch and said

“Oh, shit I've gotta go baby. I love you”

“Ok have fun. I love you too” I said as we kissed and I watched as he walked out the door.

I walked to the living room and went to the record player. All these albums that Oz had brought for me all cuz I said I like this song or this album. I pulled out beyonces lemadae album and started to blast it full volume.

And keep your money, I got my own

Keep a bigger smile on my face being alone

Bad motherfucker, God complex

Motivate your ass, call me Malcolm X

You operator, or innovator

Fuck you, hater, you can't recreate her, no, no

You'll never recreate her, no (hell no)

I started to sing. After my “concert” I went to get a bottle of wine. Withing 30 minuted a full bottle was gone and I got another. The pain of Oz wanting another women was to much for me. So instead I drowned my feelings. Almost as if it was a movie we find love starts playing and Oz walks though the door.

“You dont love me anymore

Lets see how you like this song”

“Baby?” Oz questioned and I stayed silent tears threatening to fall. 

“What the hell?” he asked

“What are you doing?” and I just looked at his through my tears and sang with the song

“You don't love me anymore” And stood up and walked to him. Pushed him back and sang

“Let's see how you like this song” cocking his head to the side

“What?” he asked

“You” I emphasise by pointing at him

“Don't love me” I say pointing at myself then laughing to keep myself from crying.

“Sweetheart, what the hell are you talking about?”

“Do I need to repeat?” I said in a conceding tone

“y/n” 

“Dont even start that “there's no other women for me” shit I fucking know what the fuck you do”

I say as he stares in shock

“Baby”

“Don't baby me why don't you baby that bitch your with instead of your fucking wife!” I yelled showing my ring

“y/n” He said loud enough so he wasn't yelling at me but I stopped talking

“y/n, baby, you talking bout Sofia?” he asked eyebrows raised

“...yes” I said quietly 

“Baby I'm doing this for us. I wasn't gonna tell you this but I killed Alberto Falcone. I'm hanging around Sofia to get in her good graces or whatever so she doesn't think it was me and more importantly she stays away from you.” It was silent for a moment then I asked

“Why did you kill him?” 

“...He laughed at me baby”

“Aw baby” I said and I reached for his face with my right hand

“Im sorry” I said with a sympathetic smile

“But you know I can take care of myself… right?”

“I know but I like to take care of ya doll. Its my job I gotta look out for you.” he said pushing your braids out of your face and giving you a kiss.

hey. thoughts on lovelace

Im relistening to the podcast and i cannot overstate how much i love seeing how fucking mean Lovelace is when she first shows up, how she doubles down on that when Eiffel gets blasted into space because of her bomb in her ship rigged up to her heartbeat. It makes me insane. The version of herself she becomes because she wants to be the one to make it out, but she doesn’t want to care about these people and risk having people it would hurt to lose again.

She’s the reason Eiffel got shot into space, at least she thinks so, and she wants the others to think so as well. And i cant imagine the mortifying feeling of ‘its happened again,’ that came with losing Eiffel. She has built up so much of herself to try and survive and make it through with everyone she can and she still loses a crew member.

Shes just. Dude she woke up from cryosleep and was back on that fucking ship. You know. She was gone for two years but i cant imagine it felt like more than sleeping and waking up and being right back where she started after already being on that ship for years. Yeaaarrrs man and she lost everything and shes back and she can never go back.

i think minkowski finally taking back her role as commander is important not just because Minkowski deserves to have confidence in her authority and trust herself but also because it takes that title away from Lovelace. Lovelace is a captain through and through during the whole season but its out of necessity and for survival and she deserves to take a step back, to put that trust in authority in someone else.

its just. It’s all about her being a big girl when she shouldn’t have to. She should be allowed to cry and scream and shout and hit things and freak out but she cant. The bomb set-off hooked up to her own heartbeat is such a blunt metaphor for that and i think it’s great how glaringly obvious it is because it makes me feel miserable. Because the one time she cant even help but let her guard down because she’s fucking DYING she loses someone again and yeah like that wouldnt make her double down.

shes. She has the capacity to be such a pleasant person. Someone fun to be around. The bit where she first shows up and Eiffel and her are laughing with each other makes me want to cry and scream and throw things. She’s a person with light in her eyes and a sense of humor but it’s been shaved down to biting sarcasm because she’s just not happy. Why would she be.

She makes me feel a lot of things. She’s tired and tormented and i dont even think the podcast gives her the right amount of emotional resolution. At least not as much as id like to see. I want her feeling how much shes been carrying and not being able to do so anymore. I want someone to give her a fucking hug man. I dont know.

[notjennyfromtheblocked]

Im deliberately sending this off anon so you can see that you arent being 'attacked' by 'Anne', and the fact youre even discussing it that way is ableist as fuck. Im going to start this by making it clear, I have BPD, Im also trans and you will not be knowing my AGAB. You are the asshole in this situation.

We're going to start off simple, you are not an expert on BPD, google and tiktok is full of misinformation and harmful stereotypes about Borderline pplo. BPD is not an 'abusive person' disorder, there is no such thing as a condition that makes you an abusive person. BPD does cause intense, deep emotions that can shift quickly and be hard to control; often this includes having intense feelings for people around them and being scared of losing them/them not being who you thought they were. Because this condition comes from trauma (usually from family/relationships) there are often amplified feelings around abanonment and betrayals of trust especially from ppl you thought were your friends. It is in fact common for some of our nost intense lifelong interests start bc of stupid reasons, but starting bc of a stupid reason doesnt mean the interest isn't genuine. Have you never done something bc your friend wanted you too and you ended it up loving it? Why is it any different bc it was a crush not a friend? BPD doesnt make you a manipulative person, nor does it make you gaslight ppl and seeing as 'anne' has a psychiatric degree Im sure he understands his condition better than you do.

Secondly, 'Anne' is allowed to be trans in whatever way he wants too, she doesnt have to bind, or pack, or change his appearance for anyone. I have a beard, long hair, wear any kind of clothes I want, have tits, have bulge, am hairy and wear a full face of makeup. Some of those things are part of my agab, some of them a part of my transition. And its not a single iota of your goddamn business whether youre friends or not. Gender is a performance and you get to choose the outfit and 'Anne' is deciding what she want his to look like.

Thirdly, you do not seem to understand that part of the reason you very clearly show yourself to be the asshole is the way you speak about others. Describing being an introvert as being more sophisticated or above extroverts is just ridiculous, you are not superior bc you dont go out to parties. I don't either, I find them uncomfortable and loud, but that doesnt make me sophisticated. You talk about 'Mike' as if he cannot be the arbiter of his own interests or relationship, that hes just stupid and couldnt piece it together if 'Anne' was 'faking'. You talk about 'Anne' like she's some master manipulator but you did everything that happened to yourself, you went to the GC and convinced them that something was wrong, you took a group of ppl who didnt know 'Mike' to 'Anne's' house to confront him, you made a callout post about 'Anne' on facebook, you tried to immediately go running to 'Mike' for damage control when your 'intervention' didnt work and you are the person that blasted it all over facebook and now tumblr. And now you are the one losing friends and family, and you deserve it, because the ppl you convinced to attack 'Anne' realised wtf they'd just done and how fucking horrendous that is. You have no evidence of any manipulation, or that 'Anne' is faking, or that 'Mike' isnt happy, you just presented your prejudice. 'Mike' and 'Anne' realise what youve done and they have enough proof to convince a judge or they wouldnt have gotten that restraining order. You are the person behaving manipulative here and everyone can see it except you.

I've tried writing a response to this so many times but I end up deleting it because when I try to explain myself it just sounds like I'm going in circles. There are tons of other asks I've tried answering and rewritten like seven times each before giving up. I've been writing over and over trying to explain like how while yeah technically Mike never told me word for word that he was T4T, when he told me I wasn't his type and then like two days later came out as trans it felt very, very much like he was coming out specifically to let me know that's why I wasn't his type. Or how I was trying to explain how look I know it might be controversial but the constant "main character syndrome" of extroverts just gets on my nerves and is supremely selfish in general and also the truth is you're just GOING to be more intellectual if you spend your free time actually expanding your mind instead of smoking pot and grinding against strangers and how someone like Mike who prefers the same free time activities as I do is just not going to work with someone who would rather party and get wasted than pick up a book, or how Anne is pretending to be trans and I know this because she isn't changing ANYTHING, and I was going to explain that the group chat was full of people she didn't know because it initially was a fandom ship discord from a show she doesn't watch but eventually when I started getting concerned yes it kinda became my "complain about Anne" vent place because nobody there really knew her well enough to go tell her what I was saying and it was a safe place for me to vent and explain why I thought she was abusive and cheating and they would actually listen instead of tell me to knock it off like others, and obviously OBVIOUSLY I thought her and I were close enough as friends she wouldn't mind me using her spare key which she kept under the doormat so it's not like I searched hard. I've written all of that so many times to so many different asks I can't even count and then i just end up deleting it because it feels pointless to even try because I know people will just keep sending asks so why bother so I never wrote it til just now unless I deleted it.

Im gonna be totally fully honest here I woke up and I saw the 99+ notifications in my inbox and I haven't been able to stop shaking because I'm so fucking angry because nobody is on my side, I literally scrolled hoping to find at least one person who was agreeing with me and nobody was and honestly I was so mad I couldn't even see and then I finally found a couple of nice asks and they were signed and I was so excited someone finally agreed with me and when I checked on their blogs they were all fucking terfs. All of the people who were taking my side were fucking terfs. And like I'll be honest with you I have two very close family members who are trans and honestly they've both blocked me recently and even though I tried to contact them they didn't respond and I seriously hate hate HATE terfs because they've been so cruel to my two family members. And I'm so angry. But then I found your ask and at first I was so angry and I tried to reply but I just deleted it because I was getting angry. But then I found more terfs in my ask and then even more hateful anons from non terfs.

But then I kept thinking about how conservatives will literally LITERALLY have Nazis agreeing with them and dig their hills in and in like wtaf how are you not seeing that NAZIS are agreeing with you? But literally the only people agreeing with me are terfs. And honestly that's the last shit I want, I luterally hate terfs. I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is the nicest ask that WASN'T from a terf so I've just. I dunno. I am freaking out because this did not go the way I planned. I knew some people wouldn't agree with me but I thought it would be more split, like some YTA but mostly JAH and NTA. And then when I saw the poll for a hot minute I thought maybe it might veer ESH but obviously that isn't the case. It's just like have you ever really cares about someone, really really cared about someone, and he says oh please don't hug me and pulls away, and then other people hug him so you think I better tell these other people "don't hug him, he doesn't like hugs" and then he says its fine and then starts hugging other people but not you? And you realize at no point did he ever say he didn't like hugging, he just asked you, specifically you, not to hug him? Well imagine that but with Mike, and he stopped wanting to hang out with me and told me not to touch him but whenever I'd remind Anne not to touch him he'd say it was fine and I guess when he came out as trans it was just easier to believe he didn't date cis people than he didn't want to date me. And there were times I thought man I wish I were a trans person so Mike would notice me, and then it seemed like Anne was doing just that because of COURSE it crossed my mind to pretend just for a little while, because if he just gave me a chance he'd realize that we are compatible. Honestly I'm just freaking out because I made this blog a month ago after sent the ask to the aita blog but then it didn't get answered so I started the blog to get all this off my chest. And bam suddenly I was bombarded a month later and it took me a minute to realize the aita hadn't deleted it. Honestly none of this went according to plan and nobody except people I fucking hate want to hear my side. And I dunno. I just don't know. Bur if the only people agreeing me with me all day are terfs then obviously I need to think things through.

[lenasprouts-words]

olderbrother!skz headcanons pt 2!!

ahh maknae line! hyung line

han

you guys are inseparable

you also get mad at minho for stealing your brother

also han and u are actual soulmates

minho is second (and less cool in ur opinion)

only about one-two years apart

when yall meet he does the ‘where my hug at?’ thing

its either you koala hug him or he does

just like, legs wrapped around waist typa hug

or he’ll bury his face into your armpit

you think it’s disgusting but he argues its comfy 

he sends you all his photos he wants to post

then you choose the ones you like 

he likes anime; you like kdramas

constantly fighting abt which is better

it got so heated once that even felix rose his voice for yall to stfu

its okay tho u made up a day after and went to the park to have a singing contest

you watch silly documentaries together

your chat is filled with stupid jokes and complaints

but he’s the first to know when something is wrong

started dissing this kid who bullied you in fifth grade

he got sent to the office but gave you a hug right before

steals things from photoshoots to give to you

spams you when he’s in the studio

asks you for lyric inspo and uses your terrible love life as inspo

once you showed one of his songs to your partner

’my brother wrote this about my last ex. dont make him do it again, he cried writing it.’

well your partner also cried so

matching stuffed animals <3

asks you to help him learn twice choreo

bc ur a huge once

he also got you a signed album from them

’oh here noonas gave me this idk why tho’

felix

loves you to death.

like fr its scary

youre four-five years younger than him

so you basically have eight older brothers

nicknamed you smiley bc your smile is the cutest thing ever (and it is)

runs to you calling ‘smiley!!!’

and lifts you off the ground when you hug

he hooks his chin around your shoulder and smells you

you think him smelling you is weird but it isnt

bc according to him you smell like ‘vanilla and lavenders and lemon’

it is so very random but you love it anyways

you two balance each other out so well, in a really weird way tho

like he’s hyper and energetic and sweet

while your active and excited and a little bitter

your insults and comebacks make him cry laugh every time

and you do the same with felix

he will NEVER shut up abt you trust

like seungmin once put him on a ban from talking about you

but he just started texting about you so

taught you taekwando

and now you fight hand to hand against changbin (and win most times)

felix doesnt like it tho bc ‘changbinnie'll get hurt and cry!’

both of your puberty hormones went to your voice box

his got deeper and huskier; yours is silkier and in the middle tone range leaning deep

but its like a rich deep ya know?

when he’s sleepy he starts mumbling random sentences and you record them snd send them to you group chat named ‘skz (-1 sunshine +1 smiley)’

if seungmin thought felix was bad at gaming, youre even worse

most of the time you end up dying

its funny because you started gaming before felix did too

you gave each other sweatshirts for white day in korea

and now your roommate hates when you use it because its so worn down and lowk smelly

jeongin has to beg felix to take it off and put it in the wash

dance parties at random times

especially if you or felix are feeling down

the playlist ‘HOE DANCE DOWN!’ is blasting

consisting of twice, charli xcx, dua lipa, and olivia rodrigo

other artists too and some from jyp bc felix loves his jypnation

not jyp tho anytime felix complains abt the ‘stupid motherfucker who wont shut up and has no talent and too much confidence’

complains ESPECIALLY while yall r playing fortnite, on your request

baking is your shared therapy

felix makes brownies, you make cookies

perfect duo in the kitchen

you bake so often that watching you two is like a dance

members will literally watch you bake and you flip them off

‘LIXIE I GOT FLIPPED OFF AGAIN!’

‘JISUNG STOP BEING A CREEP!!’

rock paper scissors is YOUR thing

like felix will just turn to you and stick his fist out

you also win almost every time

seungmin

you literally have twin telepathy

mainly bc your twins but he is also thirty two minutes older

so, day ones

gatekeeps you from his friends but not the group

because somehow they already knew who you were

you introduced yourself to them the day they debuted

only pretends to be sad abt not being a twin in the group

because he already has you and wouldnt change it for anything

the only person he will not hesitate from skinship is you

pats on the head, chin on shoulder, holding hands, occasional squeezing

his hugs are your safe spot

he’d tap you on the shoulder and take your arm

then he starts massaging you after pulling you into the hug

and it feels so good

and he’s surprisingly good at it too

treats you like a baby bc ur the youngest in you family (by a half hour)

once got you a new phone to stop you from complaining

you think its because he loves you but that is denied every time (its true tho, bc who wouldnt love you?)

only person who can calm you down

when you get too mad

he’ll call you or lay next to you

rub your back until you calm down

if youre on call he’ll put on music and start singing random shit

youre the orange kitty to his golden retriever puppy

you literally paw at him until he gives you his attention

he’ll get excited and its the cutest thing you’ve seen

wakes you up by singing the high note in ‘cover me’ in your ear

ever since he’d recorded that he’s been bragging abt it

but you dont mind bc his singing is nice and you know he would feel the same if you bragged about your fashion designs and website

every day you leave him sweet messages (like his older sister!!)

‘oh seungmo, love your hair today! your smile lit up my room puppy’

in return he sends cute gifs

he also learned french from the i am you tour to swear at you

asks for help in english before events/interviews where english will be used

you were the one who calmed his worries before the paris fashion week

since youre an english and fashion design major he relies on you

he will also never get over the fact that his TWIN is double majoring

your literally jeongin’s favorite tho

bc if seungmin says no you’ll say yes

very very mischevious

if one of you are having a bad day

you’ll just bring the other to a rage room

very effective

jeongin

he’s the maknae of the group and hates getting babied

so he automatically doesn’t baby you

maybe he does a little bit….

but thats because you told him it was okay and you liked it

youre around three years younger than him

so everyone in the group babies you

jeongin is always the first to go and greet you tho

spooks you tho

goes behind your back and yells ‘boo!’ in your ear

he gets punched by you after that

you just tackle him and squeeze him

but he goes ‘oh youve grown so big now!’

he’s also been getting stronger so when he goes into his normal hug where he puts his amrs around and under your armpits, you get squeezed until youre out of breath

on that note

he takes you to the gym bc you’ve been wanting to work out since starting college

he wanted to b your gym buddy (also was scared of u dying bc of asking binnie)

pushes you enough to finish bc he knows ur limits <3

you go to a convinience store after your workouts

both of yall try to pay BUT you make a schedule for who pays

you switch off

innie is extremely proud he made that idea

share a gym playlist

and most of your playlist

bc ur music taste is so similar you end up collabing playlists

you both do daily fit checks

slowly you’ve been able to coax him out of terrible shoe choices

you’ll show him something new and he’ll be like

‘oh is this what all the youngsters are wearing now?’

he busts out these rubber shoes that give you a headache

‘im doing it for stay’ you know stay’s reaction bc u r one

you always show what stays are saying on pinterest and call them simps

but you also cant talk bc, and jeongin quotes this

‘damnn hyunjin looking fine enough to be mine’

but also jeongin constantly uses pick up lines on YOUR friends

if he ever picks you up he’ll turn to someone your hanging out with

‘are you the sun because youre so hot you burn my retinas’

and everyone is just. majorly confused

its his random space obsession showing okay

you went on a planetarium date one time

he talked your ear off and then you bit his ear

retaliation for all the times he’s bit you when he was a wee little one

after that you went shopping

a stay photographed yall starting dating rumors

but its okay bc jeongin addressed it in his lives

telling everyone youre siblings

there is a ten minute video of him cracking up, tears flowing bc of the situation

@chans-muffin i delivered!!!!

Midnight Gaming: 3rd Rock from the Galactic (or how I learned to stop worrying and love group-orientated alcoholism)

So I last night I played Deep Rock Galactic past midnight, looked at socials later and found....

Y'know what, this is kinda topical but the Game Awards is coming up real soon and I've heard some grumblings on some places over it and I gonna say it... do people actually treat the Game Awards with some level of respect and prestige? Because I honestly considered it as nothing more than the game industry's official event fot self-congratulatory arrogance. A masturbatory ceremony where they give out awards to developers and actors and feel good about themselves despite all the mass layoffs, consumer-unfriendly practices and horseshit?

Honestly, the only reason I'm even interested in the game awards is for the game announcements and reveals that show up in the event. If the awards didnt have any of that, if it was played entirely straight like the baftas? I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't even care about the game awards. What is there to get up in arms? That they arent jacking it the same way they used to? That your game didnt win the title of "Game of the Year"? Listen, plenty of games get a bundled version released called a Game of the Year edition regardless of whether they actually won that award. Its the same way that a restaurant says their pizza is the best pizza in the world or a coffee shop claims to have the best cup of coffee. Its just a form of marketing. And thats ultimately in my opinion what the Game Awards is at the end of the day: Marketing.

Of course, having your game shown on an event like that is a good way to get attention onto your project and Geoff knows that too, thats why its so goddamn expensive to have your game shown at all. Its for that reason that some folks have decided to start their own event for folks who dont wanna shell out a fortune just to get some eyeballs on their game.

The Game Awards for Games who can't afford the Game Awards is an event headed up by several people as a parody of the Game Awards but also serving as a means for smaller indie devs to present their games, kinda like steam nextfest or alphabetagamers "games to get excited about" fest. This isnt really a news thing but i'm happy to talk about this if it gets maybe a couple of people to learn about this.

So Deep Rock Galactic is a game I enjoy quite a lot. Its your everyday 4-player coop shooter but taking place in destructible cave enviroments with hordes of bugs to squash. And you play as Dwarves.

DRG's main gameplay loop starts with picking one of several missions that are available in several biomes and dropping down onto Hoxxes. Once there you complete your objectives while collecting any materials and gold you find as well as fighting off the local threats, then call for a ride home and get on before it leaves again.

The classes you play have their strengths and unique gear to bring to the team with the Scout having a grappling hook for traversal and a flare launcher to help light caves up. Engineers have their required-by-law turret item to place in various areas to routinely shoot enemies as well as a platform gun which shoots platforms, naturally. Gunner is your go-to for rapid heavy firepower along with a placeable bubble shield and a zipline launcher. And Driller, my beloved, is the dwarf who treats the earth of hoxxes as his canvas, cutting through the soil with his power drills and blasting chunks with his c4. The four classes play well with their weapons, each having 3 primary and 3 secondaries, being punchy and effective.

DRG works well as an enjoyable coop shooter for a couple of reason, one because of the focus on creating enough of a variety in the gameplay to ensure you dont start to feel bored. Different missions from simple mining jobs, protecting a large drilldozer, scouting out morkite wells and pipes to extract them and hunting giant bugs. These missions also take place across several unique biomes from salt caves, swamp dens, sandy delves, radioactive wastes and arctic caverns to name a few. Procedural generation is used to create every mission area you get dropped into with the enviroments being destructible with either weapon shots, explosions or even using your pickaxe to break the enviroment, giving you and your team an option to do some light terraforming around important areas to better suit your needs.

Now since its a coop game, cooperating with your fellow dwarf coworkers is a necessity to complete your objective and thankfully the game is able to cultivate that naturally with a pointer item to allow for pinging of essential items or priority threats, a single emote that ends up conveying several messages depending on the context such as a welcoming salute, a battlecry or a celebration, as well an overall welcoming vibe in how the dwarfs respond to each other. After most missions, I end up joining my fellow players at the abyss bar, downing several mugs of beer and dancing our hearts out until we collapse, before we all type "gg" and leave the lobby. And if working with others aint your thing (or you dont have an active internet connection) then you can go on missions with a robot helper buddy who you can direct with your pointer to carve out material, fight off enemies and can even revive you a limited number of times.

Ghost Ship Games has done a grand job on their game and have done well by the community, to the point where they are able to publish some indie titles by themselves, helping other devs thanks to how well DRG has done, with it becoming a franchise now with a survivor-like game and a board game along with the upcoming Rogue Core game. If you havent picked it up yet, please do, its a fantastic game with a lot to offer, more than most triple A games do these days.

On that note, what was the last AAA game you payed full price for and not just picked up when it was on sale? The last game I can recall is Cyberpunk 2077 and that was only because I wanted something to test my new computer on.

Y'know Ghost Ship announced recently a selection of real mugs based on the same mugs from the ingame abyss bar. I would love to get those mugs, they look real damn good.

Thats all for tonight. Thank you for reading this post on Midnight Gaming. Feel free to leave feedback and game suggestions. See you all another time. Rock and Stone!

So work was slow enough for the couple of days that i could listen to a few welcome to night vale episodes and damn, like obviously i know i love that podcast. I've done a few relisten/catching up over the years even tho i stopped doing that around 2020 for two main reasons (pandemic and a new job asking more focus of me), so like OF COURSE i had to love it. I also have all the books and caught all the live shows i could when they came to my city (which was very few times unfortunately T^T)

But damn, all this to say, i still love that show. I first started listening to it when i was in my early 20s and like yes in a way, of course that was exactly the kind of media i would have love at that age based on all my previous favourite, but also relistening to it, i'm just 'ah, yes, that's why i am so picky with podcasts' because well, its a fucking great podcast.

Also listening to it i was just 'yes, of course tumblr was all over it at the time'. I think it's a bit of shame it's not all that big now, like usually when i see it, its more like... Nostalgia based then 'oh i am actively listening to it and meta-ing and stuff'

Then again i havent been looking at wtnv specific tags either, so that might also just be why

But yeah, i am having a blast and i am totally gonna do my 'one quote per episode' daily post thing i wanted to do.

If you ain't interested in that, please block my 'elle is liveblogging' tag.

Even if i won't really be liveblogging cuz i'll only do one quote per day and i'm listening to them faster than that, i dont wanna think of a new tag just for that

[skylertheminish]

Hey look more inane writing! Mistakes a plenty due to inexperienced at my end. Finally got something down for Ryder and how he first met Tublades and his brother. Tried a thing to make typing easier and it kinda worked? Idk. Its nearly 3am for me as of posting this lol. I have reused some old art in this thing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lately there have been strange sightings of bubbles made of light manifesting across various locations. Announcing their arrival with a rush of wind and claps of thunder. Engulfing man and monster alike who were unfortunate to be trapped within its walls. Less they be a hunter, it is assumed those trapped inside the bubble of light meet a grim end. Whether it be by monsters equally caught up in the terror, or by something far more terrifying. And as if by magic, these bubbles of light fade away. Leaving no trace of its presence or prey behind.

Until more is known about these bubbles. The hunters guild have made key areas forbidden unless you are of a high enough rank, G rank. AS OF Following suit, many elders of rider villages have done the same. But not even rank is enough to grant permission should a rider ever need to venture to a bubble blited area. A period of uneasy peace has since been the norm. New riders have started training with their new Monsties with me helping them learn how to be a rider.

Although perhaps I'm not the best choice for beginners to go up against in combat.

"How many times do I have to tell you to go easy on them Ryder?" The head master barked. Frustrated with my results.

"I can't help it if Mist is too strong for the students. He's my most gentle monstie"

" I'd hardly call being blasted by a jet stream of water gentle!"

"Better than being torn to shreds by Seregios" I managed to mumble under breath without catching the attention of head master. But truth is Mist, my Mizutsune is my most gentle Monstie!... outside of season anyway.

"Dont you have anything else? Like an aptonoth for the new riders to face against?"

"No sir" I let out a sigh. " I've never had an Aptonoth as a monstie. Just Mist and Seregios"

"Hmmm... just your mother's monsties huh?"

"Aye"

The head master locked his gaze on me briefly before turning away with the intention to think things over. "I'll have to think of something else you can teach the students it seems. You are dismissed Ryder"

"Aye sir, thank you sir" I didn't waste a moment longer to leave the school. My monsties need feeding and I need to restock the pantry. And to do that I need zenni! I made my way to the village quest board. Other riders gathered around there looking for anything to do. With the new restrictions in place boredom was rife. Glancing over what few posted quests there was I overheard gossip about the bubbles. After finding a quest with suitable pay, I called for Mist and set forth to deal with some Velocoprey that had been displaced.

"See anything Mist?" Mist looked back at me and tilted his head. Seemingly confused about my question before looking around. "Thought as much. Welp, lets get moving" climbing the saddle on Mist's back, we moved down the Highlands into the field lands below. Plenty of creatures called these fields home. Aptonoth, large quadropods sporting a head crest, in particular love to graze here. And with plenty of grasses, fruits, berries and nuts around it wasn't hard to see why these herbivorous monsters made themselves home here. As did Velocoprey who love to hunt them.

"There's a herd! Well if all else fails, we can at least get some meat" Mist gave a grunt in response. "And fish. I haven't forgotten. There's river near by so we can head over and get your fish. Maybe then the velocoprey will show up afterwards". We made our way over to the river in question. Its waters clear as glass made spotting ant fish an easy task, being able to fish for them without spooking them wasn't. Not that Mist had any difficulties. Being a Mizutsune he was perfectly equipped for fishing.

As time passed and light faded I came to the conclusion the velocoprey weren't going to show this time. I decided to get ready to head back when the wind started to blow. It had been calm all day. But the winds started to dance and swirl around us. Then a clap of thunder echoed and that's when I realised what was happening.

A bubble of light was forming and we were right in the heart of it!

With gentle winds now angry gales and bolts of lighting. The walls made of light were now established. Unable to escape, myself and Mist took to hiding behind some large rocks. I watched as shapes of creatures alien to this world appeared. Their cries mixed with the sounds of the storm and the panicked Aptonoth. One creature in stood out among all others. A tall monster of sorts sporting a fin much like Zamtrios. This was by far the most aggressive of all. Letting its fury loose on the larger by comparison herbivores. I decided to make some distance between it ourselves. Being careful to make as little noise as possible in this raging dance of wind and thunder. But of I'd be the lucky rider to attract its attention thanks to some loose pebbles. "Shit" I hissed. Catching sight of the shark-like creature searching for whatever made the noise. Its yellow eyes glowing with a fury unknown. Then it saw us and gave a mighty roar.

Mist seeing its call as a challenge responded in kind. I drew my sword and shield and braced myself for a difficult fight. But as if to play a cruel joke, the light bubble began to dissappear. Taking what it summoned with it. Leaving no signs of its presence.

Except for myself and Mist.

"... we survived? We survived! We survived it Mist!" Joy washed over me along with relief. Followed by realisation. I survived the ordeal and now had to tell the elder what I saw. "... I've gotten myself in quite a mess haven't I Mist....Mist? Where ya at Mist?". Calling out for him, I'd find him in some tall grass. Looking at me then to something hidden in the tall grass. "What ya found?"

Eggs.

A pair of strange patterned eggs were found in the tall grass by my Mizutsune. Lifting them up I got an idea of how heavy they were. Calls could be heard occasionally from them "these must have been summoned during the storm...." stareing at the two eggs as if asking for answers to my unspoken questions. I decided to take them home with me, Faced the wrath of some of the village elders, informed the chief of what I saw then made my way to the stables to check on the two strange eggs.

I soon learned the eggs had begun hatching! Hidden under the shell were a pair of firey eyes looking back at me. I Carefully lifted fragments of their shell away from their faces and introduced myself to the newly born monsties.

"Hi there! I'm Ryder".

notes: Set pre season one 

It had be a long day on the road and i mean a long day it didn't help that he had just  had to drive through heavy rain so sam could go investigate something in some woods in the middle of nowhere off a highway like seriously man come on the whole ride  it sounded like the roof of the car was going to cave in and he didn't want that to happen to his beloved Chevrolet Impala also know as his baby as well as the roads begging to slippery to drive on couldn't have his baby crashing into a tree now he could he. Saying he loved his car was an understatement. Sam was making his way out o the car grabbing his gear and such as Dean was handing him something from the backseat bit before he could take his seat belt off to start getting his things read“I have t do this on my own”... bit fucking emo there sam but okay sam starts getting out of the car and shuts the door and through the open window he starts “just head to the motel…” as much as the two bickered dean did worry for his brother and sam clearly picked up on that and wanted to put his fears to rest “ill be back in the morning it but instead of waiting here can you get us booked into the motel i dont think this will be a one night thing…” sam continued as he almost forgot to tell him where he was going “the motel is on on the other side of town”its of redwood avenue basically the main road there's shops and there around it” sam starts making his way into the woods dean wanted to shout something like be careful because in times like these he really did care for his brother but he isn't open to get emotional that easy so instead he resorted to shouting at him “don't die bitch” dean started driving off one upside of sam begging gone? He could play good music finally as sam was gone as dean speed down the road ignoring the speed limit  and blasting “I'm am the tiger” he slowed down as he stopped into the small town and when i say slowed down i mean he was still going sixty in a school zone he pulled up into the motel and after getting checked into it he started unpacking things leaving bags on sams bed the motel room was not too shabby it had its own little coffee maker and a small fridge with nothing in it and a bathroom that surprisingly didn't look like you would need a tetanus shot after taking a shit so a real upgrade despite all the necessities begging in here and that he was running on two hours of sleep and should get some rest he decided no and to go hit up the local bar dean hopped in the car and started driving blasting “i'm on the highway to hell” and he drove past this coffee shop guaranteed it was very dark and he couldn't see much but from what he could make out the shop and a brick exterior with small wooden tables whith parasols lined up outside and windows decorated in the most beautiful flowers and ivy climbing up the walls and a chalk baord sign sitting out the front with menu items and such and a big sign hanging over the building ut was low visibility but he made an effort to read the sign “Bean There Drank That” he chuckled lightly at that oh god what had his humour came to sam had been warring him down little did he know walst he was taking in every detail of the coffee shop his brain went on auto pilot and he had parked outside the small shop why was he so invetsied in this shop? Well through the light up window he saw this girl standing there cleaning up and he was watching her very closely almost stalker like watching her 

You were packing up the store for the night eager to get home as yet again it was you stuck on shutdown shift yo were a bit of a night owl but still why was it always you you ah had two more people show up after closing time and you begging your humble self decided to let your fellow co-workers  leave early little did you know these customers were ordering a lot like what do they need fourteen cups of hot chocolate for and you swore if you heard that bell ring another time 

You heard the familiar chimes of the bell and as you were about to say you were closed “hey sorry for intruding can i get something to drink i promise it will be a quick order” you looked at the man in front of you and gods would you be a fool to say no to him he was a tall well built man with his hair styled slightly upwards wearing a leather jacket and a blue shirt underneath but on the other hand you really wanted to go home “please” he begged his voice had you melting who dose he think he is having you like this you made your way behind the counter and put on the best customer service voice could “hi what can i get for you today sir” you watched his eyes flick up to the menu god he was handsome but could he cant have you waiting here all night like this “eh ill have a large black coffee whith a double shot of espresso” you can here the smile in his voice hes smiling at you thai whole time you cant help but feel a light blush creep onto your face “emh” you clear your throat “that will be ready in about five minutes sir” you look around to see if you have left any seats out “ill just stand” “whats the name for the order” where you just asking that to find out his name so mabay fi he gave you his full name you could google him later? Mabay 

 he pauses“you do realise nobody else is in here.” wow he found that one funny hes laughing to himself “what if i made it and thought it was for me and drank it all?” wonder if he can handle the heat “you dont look like you could handle even a shot of espresso. That's personal “is that a challenge” dean did look frightened he laughs lightly “you have some fire to you dont you?” he likes this doesn't he  “mhm and whats the name mystery man” “dean”  “and how do you spell that” “do you not no basic spelling” laughing at his own jokes again now is he? “No i would spell it D-U-M-B-A-S-S wonder if you can even spell that” you snap back you really are enjoying this banter “D-E-A-N” “thank you” you said sarcastically you start making his order when he attempts to make some small talk with you 

“When do you usually close up at” 

“Around eight o'clock but since your here eleven”

“How long have you been working here” “A few years now” you laugh lightly “Just using it to pay of college” Then he He starts grilling you with most random questions 

“What's your favourite colour”

“Have you got any pets” 

“Is anyone else here” 

“Are you single”

“Why are you so pretty”

“Tell me why you would look amazing in my back seat” 

Some of those things are not like the others each question he asked you had a quick quip back for you really were not giving in and he was loving this he kept flirting with you since you were making his coffee you had your back to him he was driving you MAD when you finally turned back to face him and handed his coffee “that will be 5.95” he took a sip wlast rummaging around in his pockets for money “That tastes good but you know what will, taste better” you rent spying attention as you are fixing up his receipt  “You” “ that will be 5.95 please” “Ya know me and you could work”

“That will be 5.95” “wait hold on why is it more money then its says on that board” “because your annoying” he gave you a ten dollar bill “fine im letting you keep the change though” you handed him his receipt 

Dean felt a but discouraged he felt like he was getting something it wasn't until he looked down at the receipt 

Large black coffee 2x espresso 3.45 

Annoying fee 2.50

He had to blink a couple of times that was your phone number well mabay he was right 

[planetary]

here i answered some of those bg3 character asks on my own 👍 if any of this is inconsistent with Actual dnd lore sorry i dont know shit. my city now ^_^ IO BLAST 💥

1: Where in the Faerûn is your Tav from?

underdark. scary spidery part of it

2: What is your character's alignment?

chaotic good. mostly.

3: Race and subclass?

seldarine drow, tempest domain cleric of selûne

4: If your Tav was a companion, where would they be found?

probably around that temple ruin you discover withers in at orrr at the goblin camp breaking into the selûnite temple lmao. she’s been there before so she just wants to get to a familiar place to sit while she processes wtf is going on

9: Is your Tav from Baldur's Gate? Why are they travelling there?

i dont think so. she doesn’t really live anywhere she just fucks around. she’s going there bc her companions want to and she doesnt have anything else to do. she left the underdark thru that temple in the game so unless she wandered pretty far, shes from around the act 1 area

10: Are they proficient in playing any instruments?

no and she’s actually hilariously awful at it. when she played the spider lyre the drider that showed up was like good fucking lord knock it off

11: Weapon of choice?

i always draw her with the blood of lathander but i think right now she has a deva mace i got from killing a deva after robbing a shrine and getting cursed. so. maces

13: What are their thoughts on killing? Is it a necessary evil or do they enjoy it?

its not really her first choice but it is her second one. like if just being friendly doesnt work out after 2 minutes shes like well gang i guess we just have to kill these guys.

14: What hobbies does your Tav have?

i think she likes sewing and robbing people and breaking into places and stealing

17: Do they enjoy life as an adventurer?

yeah she loves just fucking off doing whatever

18: What would your Tav be doing if they weren't kidnapped on the Nautiloid?

fucking off doing whatever. worshipping selûne and just being loose in the woods i think. maybe breaking into someone’s basement

19: How do you think they'll meet their end?

either trying to forgive someone who does not want to be forgiven OR that assassin that’s hunting her is going to fucking get her. you know how it is with the assassin

21: What is your Tav's favorite spell?

CHAIN LIGHTNING!!!!!!

22: What languages is your character fluent in?

um. common. drow…? is that a thing. she’s learning the githyanki language also. and apparently she knows infernal

24: Does your character believe in the afterlife?

yepyep since im pretty sure thats a selûne thing right

25: What arcana major best represents your Tav?

ah man i have to think of all of them. major arcana… fuckkk. ill get back to u. whatever the future tense of the tower is. she already burnt everything down and rebuilt from the ashes. her character development at this point is learning not to lace her corset so tight and being really proud if her friends

26: What animal best represents your Tav?

maybe a birdie. cute little bird. or a snake. not a hostile snake though just one of the ones that hangs out and chills

27: What was their life like before the events of BG3?

she was born into house helvindar in the underdark and was raised as a war cleric of lolth (EVIL SPIDER GODDESS!). was a really good one. made a lot of sacrifices and had a looot of potential. people knew of her and were sometimes even impressed by her ruthlessness and devotion. but she started realizing that lolth didnt really have a goal, she just wanted to create chaos. they weren’t working towards anything. there was no purpose for any of this. and as she started doubting her faith she started developing empathy and got resentful of all the things she’d done just for ultimately nothing, not even her goddess’s favor. eventually she discovered that abandoned selûnite temple down there and made up her mind that she was going to flee the underdark. her elder sister found out and followed her there, they fought, but ultimately io escaped into the surface temple and stumbled outside all bloody and disoriented. she saw the moon for the first time and since it was an old selûnite temple that’d granted her escape she sought out others and eventually became a cleric of selûne. her eye was damaged in the fight with her sister, and has been replaced with a moonstone as a gift of recognition from selûne. she’s very devoted but due to her beginnings as a lolth worshipper she doesnt take any issue with whoever serving shitty or people. she’s like well shit happens. I’d like if you stopped torturing people but i believe in freedom and choices so no pressure

28: Is your character the de facto leader of the party? Or do they consider someone else to be the leader?

yeah she is but she does kind of consider lae’zel to be running this shit sometimes since she knows the most about mindflayers and all that. she just happens to be a good influence on everyone by accident by being so chill and accepting of everything

30: What's your favorite thing about your Tav?

i like her kind of like. internal conflict sort of? like she’s very sympathetic and open to forgiving/helping people who are fucked up bc she used to be fucked up like she was ritual sacrificing kids which apparently drow do, crazy shit!!! but she struggles with knowing like, how far to go. she knows not everyone can be helped/saved and she’s ultimately fine with killing them if she’s gotta. but she wonders sometimes if she gave up too early or if she gave the other person too much leeway. like… at what point is it not worth trying to help someone anymore. she also worries that her nonchalance and acceptance of “evil” people is going to put her friends in danger cuz she likes to trust people. she forgets people can and will lie. every betrayal is a surprise for her bc she wants to believe everyone is as upfront and open and honest as she is and then shes like FUCK. which is fun :)

and finally here is the desc for tempest cleric that i love so much for her;

Your faith has made you the very thunder that quakes the black firmament, the lightning coursing through the veins of a terrible storm.

[ankhisms]

alright final thoughts:

im very bad at ranking what my top 5 or top 10 kamen rider/toku in general shows are because almost all the shows ive seen have things i think are good and fun and i love them and enjoy them in different ways yknow! i dont think kabuto would be in my top 5 if i ever made a list, but i did really honestly enjoy kabuto. it took me a long time to watch it i think i mightve started watching it in 2021? maybe towards the end of the year im not sure but i know its been one ive been watching for a long time and i am very fond of the characters and i know ill continue to be fond of them in the future for sure, i had a fun time watching the show and seeing what bizarre nonsense happened to the cast

im not about to act like i understood kabuto overall and i know thats a common thing to say about the show which makes sense after watching it like lmao yeah i see why people might not like this or say it makes no sense because a lot of it didnt make sense to me either but the thing is throughout the show and especially towards the end i could like see the outline and vague shape of themes but i felt muddled in being able to fully understand those themes and feel like i didnt really in the end 100% get what those themes might have been trying to say beyond messages about humanity having the capacity for good and changing for the better and of course messages about family and love with tendou being so devoted to both kagami and his sisters. there for sure is a part of the show near the end where it feels like everything just kind of goes off the rails and things are just happening rather than any semblance of plot, but i did like the last episodes and the last battle was especially good, the one year later ending was a little confusing but overall i felt like the ending fit the show well enough. kamen rider kabuto is a show that i have watched and tendou is unkillable and although he is insufferable i do love him

buffy for the tv asks !

favorite character: buffy summers without a doubt in my mind :] shes the best girl in the world to me as everybody probably already knows... & that will never change!! do not even care that she is the main character and of course nearly everyone loves her i love her in a more intimate and profound way /lh shes my forever :)

funniest character: OO TOUGH theres sooo many funny little guys.. but i will say spike. or anya <3 she just gets me (her autistic weird girl swag which gets played for laughs often but i usually laugh With her and when shes being sillay and cute).. spike is just like. he definitely gets the most laughs out of me hes so sillay and pathetic and funny. im always either laughing at him or with him

best-looking character: every woman. no but like actually.... buffy but also drusilla and darla and anya and faith and willow and tara and glory and cordelia and kendra and jenny and harmony and- hfkshfj you get it.. The most wife ever to me though is buffy. or drusilla. OH GOD... both of them

3 favorite ships: umm.... gets nervous.. buffy + faith, willow + tara, spike + buffy. It physically pained me leaving out spike + drusilla, angel + darla And spike + angel... like ultimately spike & drusilla are THE ultimate duo ever in the buffyverse In my opinion but not necessarily top 3 ship... im sorry for my spuffy crimes. im so sorry for this. But also i dont take ships as seriously as everyone else like do not start legitimate ship wars on this post i prommy i dont care

least favorite character: warren. i dont think i even need to say anything else

least favorite ship: probably buffy and riley like there is Absolutely worse and theres like non-canon ships people have that are so yuck but in terms of like ships i actually had to endure... them.. i actually dont mind riley himself i just dont like buffy and riley together they had potential but ultimately... their storyline just went somewhere and they lost me. riley lost me but i find things to appreciate about him And his relationship with buffy especially as i analyze him/his purpose and listen to others analyze him more but when it comes to buffy/riley.. not a fan!

reason why i watch it: uhhh.. well its good :) i could write a whole essay but my brain is not working enough right now for that hopefully thats okay. i will say its just peak television in my opinion like yeah theres bad writing like any other show but thats my beloved babygirl show... she does me wrong sometimes but i love her forever.. Also the characters and themes just enrapture me and the show brings me endless entertainment and insanity and i can analyze and nitpick and obsess over so much. so much happening in that show always!!!! and its very fun and sillay :) Also. theres buffy <3 the MOST character OF ALL TIME the best girl EVER put on any television screen... like genuinely she means soooo so much to me augh.. so does the show... i just love the show very much!

why i started watching it: wellll i heard a lot about it from many many people including my mom and was like i really need to watch this... i tried to one time and got through half of the first episode and was like hmmm.. but then kept seeing it everywhere and what really got me to try again was actually tumblr user william dogmotif and i blasted through the entire show in um 1 month + a few days !! so... yeah!! needless to say it quickly became a hyperfixation and has stuck with me since Woo!

Im an asshat someone shoot me

ive decided fuck what others might have to say i want to love her in public. Ever since our friends party at the end of october shes been the only one i want to spend my time with. she is my person.

okay lets start from the beginning of everything. The first time anything clicked for me that i might have feelings for her was our friends sweet 16. love was in the air after the group of us tried to plot and try to make her first kiss happen with her gf of over a year, mission accomplished. after a couple of hours being overwhelmed at the party since i dont do well in the loud a small group of us walked to the gas station for redbulls. That walk there was supposed to be just us but i didnt mind the fact that others came as long as i got to spend some time with her. she looked stunning in her dress and i was too shy to tell her such. that night ended with me with a red face wearing a trench coat next to a place called snl tax.

before and after that day we had multiple projects for drama club that we worked on together but little did i know this show ive worked to get to my whole high school career, that i almost quit because the job i worked so hard for was ripped from me, this show would change my life. i only stayed working on this project for her. the week of our two competitions for this show was very stressful but we got each other through it, from crash outs to nice moments every moment i wanted to spend with her even if she was tweaking out holding a container of publix cookies. the night of the local competition we swept the board, awards in every category, but my performance in my job left me feeling like i couldve done more. i was so upset with everything i spent the whole night sobbing, she was nothing but kind to me that whole time. i felt like a dick, all of her hard work with the chorus earned them an award and i was tweaking cause i didnt get one and i felt like i was making it hard to enjoy her very much earned award. i was acting like a dick because i was upset and that wasnt fair to her.

the next day we leave for an overnight competition, we sat together on the train having a blast. she didnt feel good for most of the ride so i entertained myself while checking on her every 10-30 minutes to make sure she was comfortable. We made it to our destination of the middle of nowhere safe and sound. we were apart of the last group to go to the hotel so we just wandered around and took pictures, that was probably one of my favorite moments of the trip, i will cherish those pictures. night one of this trip the 4 of us sharing a room decide to get a little silly and invite others back in past midnight and we did, she and i shared the couch while we all watched our movie. my arm around her, we were right next to each other, faces inches apart, but i cant shes my friend, shes 15. fuck. after a while we all go to bed, my head on her shoulder and my arm around her. it was the only way i wanted to be and surprisingly she let me. shes not one for physical touch so my running bit for the trip was being over dramatic "is this okay? because if it isnt ill go _____" and then some absurd thing, getting more dramatic each time. i wanted her to know i wouldnt do anything without asking and ill stop if she wanted me to, i also just wanted to get a smile out of her. i adore her smile. the next two days had their ups and downs, she was sick, people sucked, bad news, but it wasnt as bad cause we were together until night 3.

"hey so you and her?" i freaked the fuck out, definitely more that i shouldve but what could i do? she was my friend, she was a lesbian, she had just gotten out of a relationship, shes 15. fuck. i just denied, denied, denied. its all i really could do even tho it hurt to say it was only platonic i wanted it to be more but how. i dont know. after i told her what happened and got more information her kind words are why i didnt feel worse. i never wanted to make her uncomfortable because im older than her, im her friend, im 17. shit. i felt so guilty that was the first night we spent apart. i didnt know what else to do. after that night our relationship was different, but it grew stronger, the rest of the trip we were still inseparable but all i could think about is what they all had to say, what she had to say. fucking hypocrite. luckily that asshole over shadowed the drama.

every since that trip we were attached at the hip, my love had grown for her every day i talked to her, we called, texted, talked every two seconds, wed hold hands, be arm in arm, some form of contact always. she was in my piece i had with our friend group and it gave me an official excuse to text her but i never needed one she was always happy to talk to me. the more i got to know her the more i loved her. then 3 days before another competition, i find out the work weve put in so far would get us in trouble, we had 3 days to redo our whole piece or we had to drop. wonderful. the 3 of them were amazing through out the whole process i couldnt have asked for anyone else to be a part of this. friday before the comp, one of her closest friends is at rehearsal hanging out, im super silly and cant shut up, when its just us i say outloud "two years doesnt seem to bad" fuck my secret is out. but i dont get judgement instead they teehee with me about her, how pretty she is, the moments weve had together, her perfume, god i love that perfume. she was on my side for the couple hours i kept freaking out. then its saturday, competition time. we have our piece first thing, it goes well, i have hope. but i have to finish my other piece, we were free for like 2 hours and she sat with me while i worked hard on it hearing everything i had to say, when she wasnt looking id stare at her. at this point i wouldnt have cared if she caught me she was so pretty i wanted her to know, i wouldve said it to her face if i wasnt freaking out over my piece i had to present in a couple hours. she was there with me as long as she could hearing me freak out and i just love her so much im grateful she was there.

the end of the day, scores time, i got 2 excellents, she got a superior and 2 excellents. but our piece got DQed, shit, all the work we put in felt like a waste i felt like an asshole but she was there for me regardless, i love her so much. i wanted to tell her so badly but how. after that i said fuck it lets get silly, we went to a more remote part with a friend and i made an inside joke from my teehee with her friend the day before. she heard me and wanted to know. after a bit of pestering i got the balls to tell her. "two years two months' repeated over and over till i freaked out and sat down, she passed me her phone. it was a note, "i like you but i couldnt tell you i didnt want to make you uncomfortable or ruin our friendship" i felt the exact same way. the relief on both of our faces spoke so much more than words ever could, but what now? we spent the whole showcase together talking, then back to the spot and all i could think about the whole time was the age gap and how others would react, the names id get called, what if it affected her. i didnt wanna put her in a hard spot i was so scattered but looking into her eyes calmed all of my thoughts. after the showcase we sat and talked, id just yap and shed stare at me with love in her eyes, i was so happy but i was also freaking out, "what if i just dragged her into something i have no control in possibly being able to fix" but how pretty she looked made it all go away yet again. in the middle of the field i was in awe of her beauty, i wanted to kiss her, i asked, i did. it was the happiest ive been in a long time.

days of exchanging teehees and compliments was so amazing. but still the thought lingered "after all of my denial am i an asshole for being upset with her for asking me about it or was it just the way she asked?" "do i want these people to know?" "do i let anyone know?" i ended up telling people i trust and the shock was low key funny but i felt like a dick for saying to not say anything. just because i felt scared she also had to hide it? thats not fair to anyone especially her. i didnt want people to know but i want to love her in public like how i wasnt. i want to learn from my past mistakes and from how others treated me to be a better me. then i invited her over, we spent the whole afternoon together, we went out to the bridge. I told her i think im in love and i want to be official, the sigh of relief on her face when i said those words is a look ill never forget. she loves me too and she said yes!! 12-13-24 is a day that will go down in my history books.

ive been in the best mental state ive been in since i was 11, im being treated with kindness and love. im ALLOWED to FEEL. i love her so much i feel like words cant describe it enough and trying to keep it secretive from certain people wasnt right of me to do. she deserves to be loved in public, loved out loud not only in private and i was convinced i was making her feel like she was only loved in secret which i promise was not the case. id talk to everyone i could about her im having a wonderful time with her and i wouldnt have it any other way. I hope the new year treats us well and she feels loved, i want her to know so that when she thinks of me she feels loved! i want nothing but the best for her and ill do what i can to make sure that happens

basically my intention of writing this was so she knew my inner thoughts during everything, even tho she was there. i love her and i want to love her out loud, from today moving forward i dont care who knows i just want to be happy with you without feeling like i have to hide anything. i know its gonna be a bit hard but we can get through it together.

I love you to the moon and back <3
