Hi! I love your work so much!
I was hoping the reader could be a Curtis sister and she's dating Johnny and she like tells Pony (but they've been dating for months) and Pony hasn't talked to her for DAYS, like reader and Pony like were the sibling best friends but he'll talk to anyone rather than her and she tries to talk to him at dinner but he yells at her and she like just lets it go and stops trying to talk to him during dinner but Darry like yells at them both (mainly reader cuz he just wants her to leave Pony alone) so she finally leaves him alone for like 4 days and Johnny is kinda sad because Pony is really dry with him and so Johnny breaks up with her because he misses his best friend and Johnny like tells Pony they broke up and Pony is just OVERWHELMED with guilt because they broke up with each other because of him and like he knew the reader would be sad bc she has liked Johnny for a while and like she just is being really quiet, and like during one of their movie nights of just the 4 Curtis (Darry, Soda, Pony, and reader), reader is like wearing her hoodie and she's quietly playing with her rubber band and Pony looks at her and just feels so bad but he doesn't say anything cause she's like minding her business and like he side-hugs her and she instantly leans on Pony's shoulder? Sorry if it's so long!
About the movie, if possible, please! :)
Choices:
Authors Note: OMG THIS IS AN AMAZING ASK!! I hope I did it justice! I hope itâs to your liking! I tried my best with this one!! Please Enjoy and keep sending asks!
(Johnny Cade x Reader)

You and Johnny hadnât meant to hide it. You wanted to tell everyone, you really did. But there was never a good time. Between Dallyâs constant getting arrested, Darryâs constant working habits and Ponyâs constant complaining, there just wasnât anytime for you to tell everyone. And when you told Pony, you hadnât expected him to react like this. You told him one day, late at night. It just came out of nowhere. You hadnât really meant to tell him but you thought he deserved to know. With being Johnnyâs best friend and all. But thatâs exactly why he hadnât talked to you in days. Every single time you try to talk to you he ignores you or brushes you off. Soda and Darry hadnât seemed to notice. They didnât think anything of it. But you knew.
Tonight at dinner, you were tired of the silent treatment. All you wanted was to be able to talk to your little brother again. Darrel had made dinner tonight and thankfully kept Sodapop from putting any food coloring into the food. Sodapop was busy telling Darry all about the car he had to fix with Steve today so you took this as your opportunity to talk to Pony.
âHey, pone.â You said softly at first. He didnât even look up, he just continued to play with his food. âPony? Talk to me, please?â
âI donât wanna talk to you.â Was the first words heâd said to you in a long time.
âPony, you canât ignore me forever.â You tried once again.
He slammed his hands on the table as he stood up. âStop! Just stop it! I donât wanna talk to you! Canât you tell! Go talk to Johnny! Iâm sure heâd love to hear everything you have to say! He barely even hangs out with me anymore! Probably cause heâs busy hanging around with you!â
Soda and Darry sat speechless for a second as they listened to everything Pony said. Finally catching on to the fact that you and Johnny were dating. But Darry just couldnât sit around and let whatever was happening between you two continue to happen.
âPony, sit down. Now whatever is going on between you two, you need to figure it out. Pony, you need to be nice to your sister but Y/N if Pony says leave him alone then thatâs what you do. We all respect your words so respect Ponyâs too.â You and Pony sat wide eyed staring at Darry. You nodded at the right times and were silent during others. Dinner went by painfully slow as Soda was the only one trying to fill the silence.
You listened to Darry, you left Pony alone for a few days. He obviously didnât want anything to do with you so you didnât want anything to do with him. You were hanging out in the lot with Johnny.
âI donât know, Y/N. Pony barely even talks to me anymore. I try my best to make him happy but I donât think anything is working. I tried to take him to see the Paul Newman movie but he refused to go.â Johnny spoke softly as he fiddled with the grass.
âPony wonât talk to me either, Johnny.â You watched as he fiddled with the ground.
âY/N. Ya know I care for you a lot, right? And that Iâll always be here for you.â You looked at you with his puppy dog eyes.
ââCourse I do, Johnny. Whatâs this about? Where did this come from?â You asked, worried at where this was going.
âI think we should break up. I care for you so much. But, I miss my best friend. I donât want Pony to ignore us our whole lives.â He said, watching your face intently.
âJohnny-â you tried but he cut you off.
âI think itâs for the best.â He said as both of your guysâ eyes started to fill with tears. You guys had pining for each other for years and you finally were dating but now. Now it was over. Gone before you even had a chance to appreciate it.
You nodded. He was probably right. It was for the best. You didnât want your brother to ignore you for your whole life. You wiped your eyes so the tears couldnât fall. He stood up and reached his hand out and helped you up. When you both stood up he wrapped his arms around you in an embrace that was familiar to you. When you pulled away you both gazed at each other for a moment before going your separate ways. When you walked through the door of your home with tears now falling freely from your eyes, Pony somehow knew what happened. You walked straight to your room and shut the door. Pony quickly got up and walked out the door to find Johnny. He found him walking alone down the streets of Tulsa.
âJohnny?â Pony jogged up to him and took pace right next to him.
âOh, hey Pone.â He was acting like nothing was wrong. Well trying to at least. But Pony knew different.
âWhat happened between you and Y/N?â Pony was always a straight to the point guy.
âWe broke up. We didnât want you to ignore us our whole lives.â He said shyly as he looked down at his feet while he walked. That was all Pony needed to hear. His suspicions were right. It was his fault. He was the reason the two of you broke up.
Now that Pony had ignored you for so long, you were ignoring him. While you, Soda, Pony and Darry were gathered around the living room, watching a random movie on the TV, you were sitting, buried in an oversized hoodie, playing with a rubber band. It was a nervous habit of yours. Pony looked over at you and saw you playing with the rubber band. While he knew words wouldnât do much for him, he knew actions would. He scooted over on the couch and wrapped his arm around you and pulled you into his side. Your wall broke, you leaned into him and laid your head on his shoulder as silent tears rolled down your face. None of your brothers said anything. But you knew they all cared for you like nothing else.

Because it's been a while since any of these have been around
APPRECIATION POST
@loosesodamarble - You are one of my fandom wives, and I couldn't be happier about it. I love your OCs who are complex and deep, and they explore very humane emotions and wishes (such as locking emotions away after a loss), and combine into a world that both fits so well into existing canon, and expands on it in a very natural manner. On top of that, we get scrumptious pieces of meta and japanese language tidbits, for which I am ever so grateful. I'm overjoyed to be able to call you as not only a mutual, but as a friend
@lyranova - You are also one of my fandom wives and oldest friends here. You have written, what I dare say, is one of The most popular fics in the fandom, but you also have wonderful OCs, with which I love playing during out metaphorical 2D doll play-sessions. I know that over the years there have been a lot of emotions, both for good and bad, but I think that is just how life works. And I am beyond grateful that we've stayed friends throughout all the storms in our lives, and continue to be friends in the future. I am also very proud to call you not only a mutual, but a friend too
@koneko-pi - Third fandom wife! I know we haven't been in contact for as long, which is... over a year still at this point XD And dare I say I was surprised to get a DM on IG from you because I admired your art a lot, so... what can I say? I was just perplexed to see you in my DMs. And it was more than apparent that you are an absolute sweetheart, and I cherish your presence in my life. Even if such things as work dare interfere in having fun times. Also the memory of you saying "I am the floridan man" is inscribed into my brain (affectionate). You are a fey creature to me, and I wouldn't have it any other way. You are an equally valued friend
@wildflowerwoodsworld - I hope that I've at least implied by now that you are a force of nature, and very brave. I feel like I can be honest with my opinions with you, and I value someone with strong opinions in my life. Like, even if we wouldn't agree on something, we can still manoeuvre around the discussion. Your input into the fandom is also notable, in the form of fanfic, theories, and rants; but also, I adore Lia. She is a rascal, and that is what makes her so great. (And I still find myself giggling over a lot of the stuff that has happened in our dnd campaign, for which the credit should be divided equally among all the players, but you are a vital part of that group). Also, I find your characterizations to be peak
@acacia-may - I know that due to irl, you haven't been around much, but I wanted to take this opportunity to send out my gratitude for you; someone who takes so much time in exploring the platonic relationships of BC, which is an important component of BC at large. And you are an absolute sweetheart as well
@kalolasfantasyworld - My 4th fandom wife in the making? (*holds out a ringbox*) I'm still surprised about being the first to talk to you, because like... I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first to see or rb your art? I feel like the pieces had circulated a bit before that at least? But still, I am so happy to have you in my life. I'm not sure how exactly to put it into words, but I feel like we understand each other. And being able to complain over school (and speak latin to you :P ) is just an added bonus. I am really happy to have you as a friend. Simple as that. I value your presence in my life so much
@faewraithsworld - I love Acy! That probably shouldn't be my first thought, but that's the thing that got us connected. So, perhaps appreciating the OC that connected us is alright XD You also are just an absolute doll, and I love having you in my life. Even if life keeps both of us busy too, and the interactions are scarce
@t-f-t - Can I just say that I love the fandom discussions with you? Like they tickle my brain in a nice way? Again, while we might not agree, we get a good discussion out of it, and to me that's much more valuable than agreeing (especially on the spot), because it's a way of widening one's view to things. Also, holy damn your backbone, because of things, and the BCM project T-T
@funky-sea-cryptid - You are adorable, and I feel you to be a little bit of a silly gremlin (affectionate). And I love the fics and the art and the generally just good vibes you bring into this corner of the fandom. If I had to write your blog slogan in 6 words, it'd be "write fic, do art, love WIFE" <3
@purpled-royalty - I am incredibly happy to have you around in my circles. And even though we've only recently started talking, I feel like I can be genuine with you, and that we both are on the same wavelength regarding time and effort. Like, even when we go back and forth about our OCs' stories and characterizations, I don't feel pressure to reply instantly, y'know? You just have this way of feeling... Idk if "soothing" is the right word here, but something along the lines ^^' I value your presence ~
@the-black-bulls - You are one of the fandom olds, and I appreciate immensely that you've stuck around throughout all these years Cy. And that you keep your blog alive even due to irl. I wish only good things to you, and clear skies in the future
@yellowgreendinno - I love your energy Ginny! You keep things light, and bring just a dash of bright yellow into this corner of Tumblr~
@yukiblob - Your art is so tasty! They really are paintings, and I think your style is very unique~
@valtoswife - A lot of great art has crossed my dash because of you, and I am so happy that it has. So, I appreciate your presence here as well~
@cringeyvanillamilk - I know you're not around as much anymore as you used to either, but over the years you've contributed to the fandom so much, and the Fuegoleon plushy comic is still one of my favourites. So, I wanted to take this time to express my gratitude
@crazycookiemaniac - You are an absolute sweetheart, and you've also contributed to the fandom so much over the years. And you've made one of the best known art pieces, or so I think, which would be the Magna comic where he's giving a supportive message. So, thank you for being here~
@artificialpillow - I know we haven't yet interacted much, on Tumblr at least, but you're adorable, and I'm happy to have you join in on the fun <3 Also Eloise is so cute~
@f-oighear - I wish I had your organization skills and ability to write such good commentary. Like I feel that your fics are always outlines, they come timely, and you are also very structured in your feedback. And you've given the fandom The Nozessa fic, so that definitely is a feat as well ^^
#positivity post#appreciation post#I feel like I'm forgetting a lot of people#but rn my brain can't think of who#sp pt 2 maybe later?

ITS HIM
ITS LA PIETA
but seriously, I feel like this one screenshot encapsulates my... hesitations about season 2. because honestly... it's shaping up to be Mid, and I mean that in the traditional meaning of the word.
1. It's good, nothing to complain
2. No overly glaring problems - story hits all the plotpointa
3. It's not flawless - or the level of quality has not superceded its flaws
And its that third point that kinda really... Hammers it in
*insert picture of Jayce*
Look at the Viktor screenshot - look at the quote
"The reason for our failures in the commune"
WHAT FAILURES?!? WE SAW NO SUCH FAILURES!!!
What are you talking about failures??? Bc from where we stood, your commune is fucking excelling - happy content people everywhere. Its clean. It gets fucking sunlight. Its nice as hell. What FAILURES???
and thats the problem you see - bc Viktor went from reluctant jesus to full on Messiah to apparently The Bad Guy All Along - AND THERES VERY LITTLE CARRY THE CHARACTER FROM ONE PHASE TO THE NEXT
same with cait - oh we see the prison, we see the fictitious arrests, the way enforcers wage war on its own people who BTW still aint independent of piltover, who BTW remain under piltover's rule, who BTW for the most part are innocent people who have done nothing wrong aside from being born in the undercity
the gangs are gone bc they all hate topside - and thats the only thing
BUT HERES THE THING, we dont see Cait doing any of this... its her soldiers, the enforcers, but aside from her magnificent leap to the bottom in s1, shes actually back to the usual cait - when Jinx stopped sexually frustrating her, she regained her moral code
(and we're gonna have to talk about the missed opportunities between ambessa, jinx, and cait. let me tell you. ive been cocked the block)
suddenly s2 act2 cait seems more or less similar to beginning of s2 act1 cait - with her misgivings about martial law. WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO LUXURIATE IN CAIT BEING DRUNK OFF HER TYRANNICAL POWERS!! WHAT WAS THE FUCKING POINT!!!
give me MOTHER goddamn, where the fuck was that??? where is goddamn horny seduction of power? where is ambessa getting pussy enchanted bc cait would tap that at least once and ambessa is trying to be professional and as cait starts pulling away, the lesbian break up would have been AMAZING - caits betrayal bc she went back to Vi?!? hello????? DO YOU NOT SEE HOW FUCKING SIZZLING THIS COULD HAVE BEEN???????
dont fuck the warlord - dont sexualize the warlord - ONLY IF YOU WERE A COWARD
give me the seething, writhing pit of moral ambiguity thats hot as hell
bc otherwise it comes out perfunctory.
LIKE BACK TO VICKY
if vicky was supposed to be the bad guy, his little commune needed to be A LITTLE MORE creepy. SHOW US THE FAILURES. show us how the healing turns people WRONG. What does it mean if vicky gets his hands on you? SHOW US THE HORRIFIED LOVED ONES WHO UPON SURRENDERING THEIR DISABLED BELOVED FIND THEIR BELOVED IRREVOCABLY CHANGED IN A WAY THAT CAN NEVER BEEN UNDONE
SHOW US THE EXISTENTIAL LOVECRAFTIAN HORROR YOU FUCKS!!! This whole commune could have been fifteen hundred percent weirder and uncanny, make us feel like we're in a fishing boat in the middle of the lake and something massive just brushed under our boat. make us feel small and uncomprehending cucks.
I FELT NOTHING!!! I FELT LIKE WE WERE HITTING EACH STORY BEAT FOR THE SAKE OF THE PLOT POINT
it was all perfunctory as fuck. there was no lingering, stewing tension that just gnaws at your bones until you remember with each aching movement. there was NOTHING like that.
i couldnt bliss out on the jayvik messy breakup. i couldnt savor cait having a pussy rebound with a worse partner (we couldve gone from Lestat to Armand levels of bad decisions here)
we get Nothing
So Arcane gets ONE more act 3 to finish this off but honestly... it feels like each act is almost self contained in and of itself. and the buildup of viktor and the arcane feels thin - papery - wishy washy. Im not entirely confident that theyre gonna wrap up everything nicely.
ive already had ONE MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT THIS YEAR, please i cant have another so close to the last (iykyk)

I had already given my opinion about the One Piece Z movie before and made my dissatisfaction clear. But since I've rewatched the movie four more times now (all for a certain character hihihi), I've realized more things about it, and I decided to talk about it in more detail.
Last time I said that the movie is a disaster, but now that I've looked at other past movies, it's not that bad. I just think it could have been much better. And believe it or not, it's the first One Piece movie written by Oda, if I'm not mistaken, so I was expecting something different.
This one is long, so get ready. Maybe I'll be talking about Strong World next.
Starting with the first scene, just like the movie Strong World, the Marines are already unable to deal with the big villain. They appear at least four or five times in this movie and at no point did I think 'oh, here they come' in a good way. It almost seems like they are being thrown into the movie to remind us that they are something important.
Like, there is an entire organization that calls itself the Neo Marines, and the Marines never thought about dealing with it in a more serious way? Did Sengoku see Z hanging out with his gang and think that nothing would happen? Was Akainu unconcerned about Z until now? We don't know..
Kizaru appears almost three times, looking all powerful and not being much help until the last moment. Garp also appears just to give exposition about Z, which could very well have been done through Aokiji.
Speaking of Aokiji, he appears so many times (not that I'm complaining) but it seems like he is a bit lost. If I didn't like him so much, I'd be a little confused and annoyed every time he showed up. He gives some exposition here, some wisdom there, and he's a chill guy hanging around the Straw Hats. Other than that, I think he's a bit loose in the movie.
The first appearance of the Straw Hats is cute, like I said before, I love seeing them having fun and being friends. And again, Nami's first scene already made me feel really embarrassed.
The thing about Usopp and his plants was more of a joke, but I really thought it would be important at the end of the movie. Like, I thought he would use it for something. It could even have been used to fight that Z's apprentice, Binz.
And just so you know, this movie takes place before Punk Hazard, and in the anime there are five episodes in which Ain, the other apprentice, appears several there too, and it serves to kind of introduce Z. It's called Z's Ambition mini arc if you want to watch.
The first time I watched the movie, I didn't care about Z, he seemed like a generic villain. Now I actually like him. The scene where he talks to the Straw Hats is so cool. He's friendly, polite, funny and seemed like a nice guy. Until the moment he finds out they're pirates.
I also like his design more. Yet, there's something about me that doesn't fit. I can't tell what it is.
The fight between the Neo Marines and the Straw Hats is kind of boring to me. Binz is annoying as hell, and I think his power doesn't match his style, and the Straw Hats shouldn't have a problem defeating him. It's not like he's established as a super strong ninja who has unique abilities. He's just another weird guy that serves to make their life more difficult.
I couldn't concentrate on Ain's fight because I kept thinking about how this girl can fight with that bikini and cape. And the thing about four members being de-aged was useless. It didn't add anything to the movie.
However, she's seems to be very strong and skilled. She fought Zoro twice, she used her powers is cool ways and i think her personality could be cool if the movie didn't made her generic girl who is too devoted to male villain.
What pisses me off is that is obivious she couldn't win against Zoro bc he's the cool male swordsman. The movie would never let her have the upper hand against him, so they keep interrupting their fights and letting Ain run away, instead of letting her or Binz win against Zoro and Sanji and make us feel like they're big deal and a real threat to the Straw Hats.
Anyway, I didn't really get her power, it seems to be a differente version of Bonney's DF, but Ain's has a certain limit of how much she can de age someone.
When I saw Nami as a child I thought she would actually go back to her childhood self and that would be a problem for the crew. Like, 'oh Nami and Robin went back in time and don't remember us or trust us, we have to solve this!'.
Nothing. And the way Sanji reacts is shit. He would never EVER say such weird things about Nami. I hate his characterization in this movie with all my heart.
Now that I think about it, the way Luffy just wants to go after Z to get his hat and stuff is very much in character.
Then the marines come, without adding anything relevant to the plot, everything they say is repeated to the protagonists by Aokiji or by Z himself. Hell, sometimes they need to bring upstuff we already know. And Akainu says that they have to stop Z now, and yet they do absolutely nothing throughout the entire movie. Just like always, he's stuck behind his damn desk waiting for people to solve stuff.
At the first island, there's a old man who helps them and gives them equipment later. The clothes Usopp wears in this part of the movie are really ugly, but I think it's good enough so that no one recognizes him. And Chopper's design in this movie (and in the Post-Timeskip in general) is toooooo cute, he doesn't even look like a deer.
The hot springs scene made me kick my feet bc of Aokiji. He shows up, does nothing, threatens to be useful and give information, and then leaves as if he had done a lot. But... like, it's not like he cares, right?
The Monster Trio + Usopp fight Z, Ain and Binz, and just like I said, the movie tries to make us believe those three are big deal by taking Usopp out of the fight and then the Ain and Binz leave easely. I was dissapointed by this fight. I think Luffy losing was rushed too. He gets beaten too quick and then Z blows up the island.
Hihihihihih Aokiji freezing the lava.... And him being nice to the ladies before that... *kicking my feet in the air*
Okay, Luffy gets shot and that doesn't really matter, it's just to make Z come out unharmed and we can continue with the movie.
Then we see Garp telling Koby about Z's past, and Aokiji meets him. This scene gives a little more weight to Z, makes him seem more like a real person than some crazy guy who's gone too far. I even stopped for a moment to sympathize with him.
Aokiji gives an explanation that we had before and Luffy is unshakable, ready to fight. I like his spirit, and how everyone is ready to be on his side. They trust him so much, and he trusts them. I love them :)
That scene of Robin and Kuzan looking at each other in the rain was something. I think it shows both let go of the past to some degree. Robin is not as afraid of Kuzan as she was before. Maybe because he showed he's not going to hand her to the marines, and because she knows she can trust her friends to protect her.
In a way, she's at peace and doesn't fear him like before
(Unfortunately some people use this to ship them. I should remind you that she is 18 years old at the moment)
New equipment! The girls' battle outfits are shit!!! I want to draw different outfits for them now!
The battle begins. The fight here is very well drawn, incredible and this time I found myself in love.
Why does Chopper insist on using his panda form? He has much better ones. The thing about Ain only having to take a hit to make the guys go back to normal doesn't make sense.
Z's final fight against Luffy is interesting. This is where I really liked Z, but I think other people won't be satisfied. But, I think it makes sense. He's old, he's tired, and he realizes that his way won't work.
At least I had a second of Frobin with Franky carrying Robin, and ONLY HER, while the others ran. The way she sits like a queen on his hand is adorable. The close up on her boobs was not necessary...
Kizaru appears, only serving for Z to go there and beat everyone up. I liked this, unfortunately, once again the movie tries to give an air of importance to the relationship between Z and the Marines. Which only worked for me because I started to like the character.
The ending is kind of dark. I liked the way Z died. But... his plan was useless. In the end he got along with Luffy and Aokiji stopped him. So... yeah, its almost like Luffy gave him a talk no jutsu without the talk and made Z change his way and almost become an ally. Everything he did, all the destruction and death is useless
I would like to add real quick that the scene where Sengoku says Z is out of control for killing innocent civilians made me roll my eyes so hard I had a headache. It's not like the marines care about the innocent, old man. Go back to your retirement.
The final scene that shows why he changed Zephyr's name to Z got me, I admit. I thought it was cute. I really believe the little girl in the last scene is his wife that shows in his flashback.
I think the problem with this movie is that it doesn't have good pacing. Some things happen too fast, characters appear just for the sake of appearing, they are useless, they give information that is repeated so many times, and there is this air of emotion about Z as if he were this incredible person. And we don't know him, so it's not like we would care.
If he were connected to one of the characters, like Kuzan for example, since he appears a lot and fits into the story, then maybe I would care more about Z. Then I would feel more sympathy for him. I think the movie tries to make us like him in a forced way.
(I like Z, because I associate him with Kuzan, and because without a real and important story for him, I can kind of fill in the gaps and make him cool in my head)
And not to mention that there is so much unnecessary stuff. The generic Neo Marine's soldiers who die and aren't even important in the end, the Marines being useless, Z's relationship with Binz and Ain (who could have been used to make the three of them more interesting), Ain had potential in my opinion, and Binz could be a better character. Man, as Sanji said at some point, these two are so boring, the way they just cling to Z and stuff.
Even Kuzan being distant and having let go of his old master is more interesting. It makes Z feel more like an old hero that fell to the dark side, like a beloved teacher that is blind in his hatred and need for justice. Z is all of that, but the movie fails in transmitting this emotion about him. They could've done better.
About the animation, the Post-Timeskip art annoys me at times. But there are many other times where it's very beautiful. The animation is great, and there's a perfect balance between 2D and CGI (unlike Stampede). The writing isn't that good, there are moments in the dialogue that are bad, like the first scene with the Straw Hats.
In the end, the movie isn't horrible. It's just the ideas that are all thrown together and make it hard to like it anymore. Dude, the movie was going to be called Dream Smasher, since Z wants to destroy the pirates' dreams, Oda didn't like it so that's how it ended up with this horrible title. Decisions have been made... I don't understand why some fans think this is the best movie ever. We can say it's a 5.5/10.

how did i feel about the way rvb19 treated iys female characters:
dylan: weird???? she felt so mischaracterised. between that and the new voice she fully felt like a new character âčïž it also felt like she was forced in for like no reason. in s15 she seemed to be like a pretty esteemed journalist so idk why she would be stammering on stage in a nearly empty comic con. peculiar and i think they couldâve made the intro so much better if it had been a bit more like s15. dylan having some sort of interview maybe, talking about the disappearance of the rnbs and still getting cut off by the meta but in a way that like actually feels like her ? like she wasnât particularly afraid of spencer porkinsensen (or whatever the fuck he was called)
kai: i was hoping sheâd get a cameo but christ not that short. where in the name of god was my kai + grif interaction. i also think she couldâve killed the meta with sheer cunt force alone, my girl was held back !!!! also so disappointed that she never got to see tex again
sheila: i was not expecting you!!!! but itâs so good to see you again. did they rescue her from charon or something?? honestly quite sweet.
479er: Really wasnât expecting you ! she contributed to the plot really nicely, it didnât feel like she was forced in at all. it wouldâve been nice to see more of her though, i feel like her scenes happened Very quickly. i also wouldâve loved to see her interact with the other freelancers (particularly carolina and tex) but whatever i canât complain too much about her
grey: what did they do to you!!!!!!! who are you!!!!! you are not the emily grey i know and love!! you would have so much more consideration for wash âčïž another case of being mischaracterised so bad that i fully didnât realise it was grey until wash said her name. this might also be because the infinite armour looks absolutely nothing like her but i donât know jack abt infinite so i canât really say anything
tex: I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I CANNOT BELIEVE RT ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGED HER PAST ENDING WAS SO DIRTY. wish she had maybe had a small conversation with the rnbs but honestly her saying âand in their memories i always kicked their assesâ was enough. she knows sheâs the woman ever. i wasnât expecting her to get sucked into the unit though :( like i suppose it makes sense to let her finally rest with whatever iteration of church was created when the ais merged but man i was looking forward to her joining the rnbs again and like idk getting to know her daughter properly this time?? severely missing tex and carolina content
carolina: where did you even come from girl!! where were you before you dropped out of the sky!!!!! i also wish she had spoke to the others & had like an actual scene where she was told sarge was dead bc they had like a weird little friendship going on and heâs just gone !! i feel like she barely did anything. she just dropped into the fight, did fuck all, and then revealed that wash has apparently been hallucinating the dead body of doc. erm
bonus ct + south: ctâs speech was alr i guess it wasnât particularly memorable but it was nice that she was included tbh. though i was surprised south was in the freelancer lineup given she lowk bullied wash idk
in conclusion: my girls deserved better

OKAY. MEETING BACHIRAS MOM FOR THE FIRST TIME. đ€đ€đ€
(no pressure if you donât want to do it ofc bbg<3 )
Ofc bb but have patience, Iâm a little bit down cause I didnât like at all my last post so yk đâđœ
Omg Iâm so dumb, I answered it without the fic made HAHAJJAJAJA, when I got it Iâll put it here and Iâll tell ya, k love? Have some paciencia đœđ
Update: k so I already did it so here you go my love, hope you like it <3!
Warnings: fem!reader Words: 656 Disclaimer: English isn't my first language so I apologise for any mistakes or misunderstandings! Taglist: @merlucide
Meeting Bachiras mom for the first time
âËà· To help me with this, I will pretend it is the second part of the Bachira falling in love hcs.
âËà· Indeed, his mom liked you.
âËà· First of all, when Bachira got home and told her mom about you, she was super enthusiastic to meet you!
âËà· After Bachira made a move and you guys become boyfriend and girlfriend, the next step was meeting each others parents, being Bachira the first.
âËà· When the time came, you were extremely nervous, Bachira tried everything to make you feel less nervous but obviously it didn't work.
âËà· You wanted to everything go great. Your friends always says that is like having a second family and that creating a bond with his mom is important bc she's gonna be like a second mom to you.
âËà· You made yourself a list of 5 rules to follow when you meet his mom (which made Bachira laugh at you because- babe, my mom is super chill you don't need to do those things.)
âËà· Rule number 1: Do not show empty handed. It doesn't matter if you give her flowers, some dessert or a gift, Bachiras mom will appreciate it and think that you're a very nice and sweet girl. She's the type of person who appreciates the small things so giving smth to her will be perfect.
âËà· Rule number 2: Dress modestly. Look, Bachiras mom wouldn't care if you go with some jeans and a cute top, in fact, she would compliment you. But if you go dressed like if you're going to some club she would not think bad of you but neither she'll think good of you. I believe that as an artist she's very into the fashion world and if you're meeting her with a cute outfit she'll like you.
âËà· Rule number 3: Don't try to be somebody that you're not. She want to meet the person her son fall in love with, no one else. She'll like you just the way that you are! As an artist, Bachiras mom know about being judge so don't worry about those things.
âËà· Rule number 4: Always offer to clean up. Of course, she wouldn't let you, but it would be nice seeing the effort of your actions that his son never stops talking about.
âËà· Rule number 5: Try having a one on one time with her. Women to women bounds are super special so you have to use the opportunity to grow a very strong relationships. Honestly, she always wanted a daughter so just talked with her about girl things and it would be awesome!
You and Bachiras mom were left alone, she told Bachira to go to the store to buy some dessert (you bought flowers) so now you girls were alone.
"So, how did you knew you wanted to be an artist Mrs.Bachira?" you asked her enthusiastic, the dinner went awesome and you guys were having a great time.
Bachiras mom loved your question, nobody usually ask her about her profession and you were actually interested.
As the night went by, you girls ended up having a girl talk about the latest in fashion, the new tea about celebrities, skincare and make-up.
When Bachira came with the dessert, he was confused. He left you guys silent and when he come back you were sitting next to each other talking passionately about some new viral linase mask that gives a botox effect. Although he wasn't complaining either.
"Word of mouth is that the mask also works to give definition on the curly haired girls." you said showing her the video of a girl trying it.
"Really?" she said leaning to you "Bachiras cousin has curly hair, i'll show it to her."
âËà· She loved you, like she would call you some days to exchange tips and your calls last hours.
âËà· Bachira was more than happy when he find out, It seemed perfect to him that the two women in his life got along so well.
nksdhfsbfv idk what I did.
I feel like It was too short, great rules tho

tell a friend to tell a friend, sheâs bacccck đ€ đ€ đ€
~ đ pick an image đ ~
Todays topic is⊠DRUM ROLL PLZ đŁïž.. đ„ đ„ đ„
Why do ppl hate on u?? đ€
Group 1:

Youâre the type of person that is very thorough and this makes other people compare themselves to you and automatically feel attacked bc itâs so obvious that theyâre only working to achieve the bare minimum. Before meeting you most people did only what was expected of them in school and work until they met you and now they see you as the standard. If you were such a bad person then why would random stranger customers praise you??? give you gifts, buy you snacks, etc if you were such the bad guy like people make you to be.
Youâre the type of person that people may pick on for no reason not bc they see you as weak but bc they WANT you to FEEL left out, these types of people were the ones crying and complaining on social media during quarantine about how lonely they were and sad bc they had to be by themselves and you was just there sipping your tea bc you did your shadow work years ago when everyone else was creating soul ties and being n superficial frenemey relationships . Youâve been ostracized since an early age, but they canât seem to understand why no matter how cliqued up they are and youâre standing alone or with one other person who also stands alone, why you arenât begging to be n the circle or why you arenât trying to prove yourself to others. whole time youâre loved by your family, your community , your siblings and or you have a friend group outside of them that theyâre not aware of. Needless to say, youâre pretty fulfilled in life.
Bc of your high IQ, whether you know or not, you actually are gifted in creativity. For most you prob are supppper stylish youâre Mr or Misses put that shit on .. like FORREAL, and you rarelllllly get compliments or you do but not publicly or people may come days later like I saw that pic you posted and youâre thinking to yourself liiiiike hmm I didnât see you n the likes thooo hater if you seen it why you ainât like it then?? đ people tell on themselves and youâll realize years later that the whole time you were really the IT girl or Him but you make people feel small so theyâd never tell you. Silent stalkers, silent obsessed fans and hidden enemies & prob people who call themselves your besties bc they wanna be accepted by the masses and since your the unconventional baddie (really not unconventional itâs just everyone else is basic and unoriginal / you break the norms and people donât know how to be stylish outside of following trends or recreating what they see on their FYP or timelineâŠ) anyway the way you dress is original and youâre prob good at trend forecasting and when you say stuff people be like âshut upâ cuz youâre always right and people are inept when it comes to being creative or original; at the same time if someone was to try to wear what youâd wear for some reason theyâd look like a fool đ itâs giving thatâs so raven vibes where youâre psychic AND fashionable like how you gonna be the whole package? Meanwhile theyâre getting bashed by their own family members for being dumb as doorknobs lmao
School : youâre the type to actually pay attention and when simple questions are asked you realize how little common sense people have bc theyâll basically repeat what was just said and so many people are used to being pacified and not called out on their BS bc itâs ânot niceâ but youâre like eff that why did you just ask what weâre doing n class when weâve been talking about it for the last 30 min like bffr?? Cuz atp youâre playing in MYYY face for wasting my precious time by having to repeat simple stuff. I see you being the type where youâre tired of the professor asking the class questions and the class just mute sitting there like đ„Žđđ«€đ« đ”âđ«đŽ .. AGAIN WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE FOR WATTT EXACTLY? So you *sigh* (save the day Superman /superwoman) by , once AGAIN, answering.. the.. questions.. you feel a tap on your shoulder.. âhow did you know that??â ARGHHHH you want to scream bc Iâm sorry [TW] everyone at your school is stupid or slow and it be making you feel like you werenât even supposed to be born n this time period bc itâs no way đ youâre the type to get a bad grade n an easy class like gym just bc you didnât try or change out when in reality you donât gaf bc you prob have a high GPA anyways. I see you overall being a nice person (I just seen 3:33) but you have a low tolerance bc you know what you want out of life and everyone is just going thru the motions.
Work: you exemplify great customer service and work ethic and most people may hate on you bc customers prefer your service over others not just bc you look good đ which people also try to say you have pretty privilege and that disgusts them bc you actually do but donât get it twisted bc youâre handsome intelligent and you understand psychology really well which goes hand in hand with sales. Donât let anyone make you feel bad for being friendly or doing your job right. I donât see you being like a stickler rule follower but rather someone who engages with customers to make the day go faster and honestly it builds rapport and makes your reputation even better bc you could be the youngest yet seem the most knowledgeable bc people whoâve worked there longer or have senior experience bc theyâre much older feel like you should just take notes from them even tho thereâs no notes to be taken bc you body the job. In fact you body everything you do like they wouldnât hire you if you werenât qualified. Youâre the type to get the job bc of your experience then when you work your magic now all your coworkers are hating UGH I can relate
Alright group 1 weâve been going in LMBO if you want more actually check the other piles bc this one is getting long , like 2 may resonate assswelllllllđ«¶đœâšđ
Group 2:

Okay girl people hate on you because they assume that because of how you dress you could come from a family that is a little more well off even tho you donât flaunt it , tbh you are a lowkey kind of person and may be a bit timid. I see that you challenge yourself and put yourself out there because youâre a talented individual but your anxiety or shyness may get the best of you. Youâre very intuitive and you can pick up on other peoples emotions you may be claircognizant or clairaudient or like the character in Charlie Bone who could touch objects and be transported back , so you sense things that most people donât notice like subtleties and small changes n the frequencies.
People hate on you for seeing right thru them.. itâs unfair to ppl that try to hide behind a mask or coverup their true intentions or emotions and you may innocently ask someone what happened or whatâs wrong bc something did and they didnât tell anyone. So they immediately project on to you and call you weird or try to embarrass you wen you were trying to put yourself out there by being nice. Sorry I got side tracked but you could also be the type of person that doesnât have alot of money but youâre resourceful and people wonder how you look so stylish when youâre not wearing anything designer. Or if you do wear designer brands itâs not the mainstream designer that people are used to and even up and coming designers that youâre aware of as are most people who are into the fashion world but these people are basic so all they know is Gucci.. youâll have something on and people like it and love it trust me but theyâll try to get you to doubt your choices by making you the joke but honestly if it was so bad then why yâall talking about it sm?? Like whoâs the fan? they are đ€
People hate on you bc youâre chosen and they have pick me energy.. like you have the ability to stay focus and youâre selective with your energy I see you have this one true friend you rely on and everyone canât stand them bc theyâre 10 toes down for you and thereâs prob a lot of daily talk where youâre the topic of conversation and others wish that people talked about them sm like they do you so theyâd feel important but youâve prob stopped someone from telling you what others say about you to you bc it isnât aligned with your higher self or the action of gossip is just low vibrational. youâre like whyâre yâall talking sm about other folks like can yâall step your game up so you can be the topic instead ??? Youâve prob told people you donât care to go to college bc you want to sing , dance, act or do art.. strong fire energy or Aquarius energy. Like youâre just different and in your own lane and if anyone tried to find their way into your lane theyâd automatically get called a copycat.
Youâre the popular loner; you mind your business and stay focused and people hate on you bc youâre not easily distracted, there are no rumors that can go on about you bc youâre authentically you even tho youâre to yourself everyone knows exactly what youâre about and you really donât leave any room for confusion or assumption cuz a âbih knew better than to to let [me]/ you hear itâ .. đ
People hate on your bc they canât try you and honestly youâre probably everyoneâs crush and theyâre all competing for you.. funny thing is people donât converse about how hot you are to each other bc in everyoneâs eyes theyâre trying to get with you or youâre their imaginary gf or bf and they wouldnât admit it bc they donât really wanna know who youâd pickđ BIG delusional energy , you donât have mean girl vibes but you donât play the BS games. You make people feel like they have to step their game up like they may act childish but when you come around everyone straightens up and fights for your attention even if itâs a friend group bc theyâre all secretly in love with you and wonder what type of things youâd like so they can win you over
People hate on you bc of how classy you are it doesnât come off as arrogant, it just gives boujee high standard vibes. you could have a very attractive parent or older sister and peoples older siblings and parents can have crushes on your family and thatâs why people hate bc they ugly đ or if their dad has a crush on your mom itâs like đ it seems like people cannot escape you bc youâre the talk of the town.. people also hate on you because people try to be like you wen they realize their crush likes you bc even if you were to like someone back you donât make it obvious you like to play hard to get or you like to be chased (AS YOU SHOULD ).. you may catch people watching you or eavesdropping or trying to steal glances at your phone or Instagram.. people would love to be your friend to get advice from you but theyâre jealous and jealousy consumes people.. youâre really the nicest person but you couldnât care less who likes you or doesnât cuz at the end of the day you have INFLUENCE. And with great power comes great responsibility.. years later these people may try to friend you on FB or tell you how inspired they were by you or they wish you were friends.. but like they couldnât handle being your friend anyway bc their standards for themselves really arenât that high and it shows đ
Strong Scorpio rising or Scorpio placements but now Scorpio sun
Group 3:
Bet yâall never heard this one đđœđ [explicit lyrics]
Okay last but not least pile 3 you should read pile 2 bc itâll make more sense. you are also extremely talented and for some reason you have this karmic lesson that you have to overcome where everyone tries to put you into a certain box like oh you should just be a nurse o you should do this or be that but they donât have the type of talent you have and with that type of talent that you have will attract a lot of naysayers but if you do music you either have a very angelic voice or your music tone or type is original like Kendrick Lamarâs flow when he first came out or like a mixture of alternative rap.. whatever it is donât be shy try to live out loud. Youâre not the type of artist that shoves your art in peoples faces and if you put your art on a platform like Etsy or SoundCloud I see the more intention you put into it and the more you believe in yourself the more attention you attract from strangers. People hate on you because you stand by your work whether it be tarot, pottery, resin work, herbology, makeup etc and people in your hometown may not support it as much as others do⊠like if you were to have a showcase I see people from other places hoping you announce a date so they can come to your city and support you aww đ„č it MAY take years of hard work BUT thatâs what people want us to think.. the Divine blessed you with a gift that you should love OUT loud.. the more you do the more resistance youâll get from those around you but thatâs bc Saturn, Rahu, Mercury, and Ketu want to challenge how hard youâll work bc not everyone deserves to be famous which is why some famous people or people of notoriety flop or donât last long bc itâs not genuine.. you donât do it for the money you do it out of love..
people hate on you because you EXUDE love.. you ARE LOVE and thereâs nothing bad people can say about you bc you donât harm anyone you give people compliments but I see a lot of people from your family or hometown deal with generational trauma and theyâre not used to Divine energy and true love so you trigger people bc you illuminate their shadows and you make them uncomfortable with how at peace you are with yourself.. you are an influence /influencer (in the making.. on a wide scale donât think that youâre not an influencer just bc youâre it rich or famous or getting a bunch of brand deals baby you better live delusional cuz thatâs how you manifest)
people hate on you bc they may secretly buy your products or listen to your music when theyâre alone and it triggers something n their soul when they hear your voice and words and it may make them cry bc they realize how unhappy with self they are .. people wish they had your confidence to have a passion and a gift and to love it sm that you want to share it with the world they also hate how insecure they are.. they know your songs bar for bar and want to play it n public but feel embarrassed đ
People hate on you because youâre funny and for some reason people wanna hate you sooooo bad for no reason lol whatâs their problem and you make your haters and enemies laugh and they canât help it to the point where they may try to be nice to you and even if they didnât do anything overly mean or bully like to you you look at them like their dumb wen they do bc youâre like ummm didnât you hate me last week ???? And now they have a reason to make you the bad guy (might wanna read group 1)
People hate on you for being the youngest đ they hate on you for dumb things like having small hands or being dainty .. people could hate on your for liking cute stuff (like hello kitty or computer games even if theyâre violent or logical games) like youâre like a cute little angel baby even if youâre a guy and if youâre a guy people hate on you bc youâre sweet and quiet and you laugh to yourself and other guys feel like you should flex your masculinity some people (TW) may try to say youâre gay for liking certain things which you could be and so what if you are gay used to mean happy âșïž but for most of you I see youâre severely homosexual lol and lowkey all the girls have crushes on you but even tho youâre a quiet angel baby you prob got lean muscles and dark hair and you just donât look like the other guys itâs crazy how men deal with beauty standards like women too but even tho most people may not have an outward crush on you, if there was a vote most people surprisingly to you would actually say youâre quite attractive ..
people hate on you bc you wear simple clothes like graphic tees and joggers and you look so hot đ I see you may be kind of a clutz or accidentally wear mix match shoes bc you got dressed n the dark lmao itâs giving strong struggling artist hobo vibes lmao and people hate that about you bc youâre naturally alluring and radiant. You may like anime or like to tell stories, even tho people may try to act like youâre lame if there was a bonfire people would want you there and sometimes people may try to throw parties just to see if youâd show up but you never do bc âšsocial anxietyâš .. strong E girl E boy /goth vibes it reminds me of stefan salvatore from vampire diaries đ€đđ€€đ«.. youâre not actually a guys guy or a girls girl bc you prob have a lot of siblings that are the opposite gender or you and youâre the only one thatâs a girl amongst brothers or vice versa or if youâre the only boy with a bunch of sisters you may have a baby brother thatâs wayyyyy younger than you .. basically you see how people may use manipulative tactics due to gender
I keep seeing backpacks maybe you take transit a lot of you like to walk and you just got your backpack but what you got n there Dora? đ better not be a weapon of mass destruction lolz jk
Strong mutable sign vibes or check your Pisces /12th house and gemini houses or Mercury

isn't it ironic how at the beginning you got some nasty anons on your inbox bc you were shipping and writing for Agathario? now it's them who get ppl mad for shipping wagatha đđ
Hellooooo so sorry Iâve been so inactive but thank you for talking the ghost that is meee
Yes Iâm absolutely dying. I was in the trenches leading the brigade. I wrote for them over half a year before the show even came out and got more-frequent-than-one-would-like death threats over it đ so I am giggling to myself.
And people complain about the fandom but honestly, weâve rooted out a lot of the bad ones I feel. I certainly know a very not nice person who was rude to me last year has kind of been shunned for being not nice and I feel we are all generally very kind and fun now and I love that.
BUT
I do get a chuckle whenever people hate on Wagatha now. Wagatha are my roots and I love them but nothing hits the same as Agatha and Rio for me. And I knew that before we even saw Rio so when I see these arguments I just have to laugh to myself itâs so bloody hilarious (wow that was very English). I got people telling me to off myself because Agatha would never fall in love with anyone but Wanda and now⊠*evil chuckle*
Again, sorry for the inactivity. I honestly didnât know if anyone really remembered me đ
Iâve had a few nasty things happen recently (to do with fandom I was informed a few people I thought were nice were making fun of theories I was making which was noooot fun haha) and general life lol. It doesnât help when your Agatha online friend turns on the show after the finale and you canât really talk about it with anyone in depth anymore because she has such a visceral hate for it and you just want to love it đ
So sorry Iâve turned your very funny and true ask into a whole thing. Thought Iâd do an update at the same time since I am a ghost in the night it seems. Honestly Iâve just become very shy again due to not nice people but I still love writing! And love Agatha and love AgathaRio so any asks I absolutely adore.
But to summarise, the parallel is absolutely delicious for me and I get to reap the rewards of writing them when nothing was around about them hehehe đ«¶đđ
PS also Jac out right confirm Rio is the other mother and the first fic I wrote was over a year ago with exactly that premise and I never stop writing itâŠ. Yeahhhh call me Lilia how I saw the future. Also with half my headcanons have since become fanon true đââïž

Hello I would like to ramble about 9 sols⊠Iâve almost finished it and would like to talk about it :D feel free to yap with me in the comments too, none of my friends have played it yet so it would be nice to talk to someone about it hehe (in absolutely no order whatsoever)
âŒïžLOTS OF SPOILERS BEWAREâŒïž
ohhhhhhhh I LOVE THE MUSIC ITS SO GOODâŠ. no1 video game ost enjoyer here and I can say itâs so so good;; so many of the songs made me go :00 ITS SO GOOD
Iâve seen people complain about the dialogue and tbh I donât get the complaints at all;; I LOVE the dialogue and I think it adds a lot and itâs a very good way to tell the story the game is telling and the people who whinge about it are stupid tbh I feel like people often confuse creative decisions they personally donât vibe with with actual flaws which is really annoying like. man
aghhh SO MUCH LORE I love all the lore I want to know moreâŠâŠ oh but man. hearing about all the solarianâs rich history,, and knowing that ultimately they were doomed to extinction by one idiot is;: oh man. It Hurts
OHHHHH HOW I ADORE THE THEME OF HOW RAGING AGAINST THE INEVITABLE WILL ONLY CAUSE HARM⊠literally all the things that went wrong in the story are from people trying to run away from death. but sometimes the only thing left to do, and the right thing to do, is to let go. ohhhhhh indie games about death and letting go how I adore you so
lady ethereal made me so fucking sad like. literally everything she ever did was to try and help her people but it all went so so wrong. the road to hell is paved with good intentions, truly. god her storyline hurts so bad. Im very glad yi could give her closure so she could move on,, also her section was by far my favourite ITS SO GOOD RAHHHHH
THE FENGS MADE ME SO HORRIBLY SAD TOO;; I hated them at first, I literally said âeat the richâ lol but. that was before I saw their final cutscene theyâre so :(((( they didnât deserve this. poor fuwa man im so sad I felt so so bad for her by the end
also their district was. oh my god itâs so eerie it made me so viscerally uncomfortable I was so on edge the entire time I was there⊠goddddd itâs so haunting holy shit the solarians are beyond doomed
I LOVE HOW THE PAVILLON REALLY BECOMES A HOME itâs so fun to see and I really love all the roomies<3 I wanna be friends with kuafu
ohhhhhhh shuanshuan totally reminds yi of heng huhâŠ. ohhhhh thatâs so tragic oh the tragic doomed siblings <//3 IT HURTS SO BAD THE LAST THING HE EVER SAID TO HER WAS SO HORRIBLE AND IYS JUST AUGHHHH,,,, HE NEVER EVEN GOT TO SEE HER AGAIN AFTER THAT,,, sorry im so incoherent I. They just make me so horrifically sad
OH OH this is the first game that made me say âwhat the fuckâ out loud 10/10 lol (it was the guy you behead in the prison) AND SPEAKING OF THE PRISON god I felt so fucking bad for yi that entire section. the way he just falls pathetically if you try to dash oh my godddd :((
why did jiequan act so weirdly flirty towards yi. like huh is there something you wanna tell us dude (also side note: why do people ship them I would appreciate if someone explained bc I donât get it at all HHHRHSHS or maybe itâs just because itâs not the type of ship that appeals to me at all,, hm)
JI IS SO FUCKING COOOOL HES DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVS;; suicidal immortal is such a tragically good character concept that should definitely be done more often I think (in fact, I want to make an oc like that) god I love him heâs so horribly tragic too EVERYONE IS SO TRAGIC and I really like how heâs so friendly towards yi itâs weirdly sweet⊠and his boss theme being named long awaited death AGHHHHâŠâŠ..
his zone makes me want to bash my head in tho. like genuinely I was ready to tear my hair out this game was made for smarter people I fear
oh and how I love yiâs character development so so much.. he went from straight up torturing the first sol he fought to really not wanting to fight them at all. even the fengs who he seemed really annoyed by,, he seemed genuinely sad by fuxiâs condition;; GAHHH morally grey character AND redemption arc this is the best of both worlds, heâs such a fascinating character I love him dearly <3
man I fucking hate eigong. imagine being the dumbass to literally doom your entire race bc you wanted to be immortal like đđ girlâŠâŠ. also I know she gets Worse too so I wanna see whatâs that about
I love yi did I mention I love yi heâs such a great character
ohhhhh that one sequence where you run across the invaded village to save the apemen and the MUSIC;;: one of my favourite sequences in the whole game man it was so goddamn cool
ok im all out of yapping now lol DO TALK TO ME IN THE COMMENTS IF YOUD LIKE ok goodbye đ«¶đ«¶đ«¶

You talk about how the plantars were reduced to comic relief in season 3, and honestly i think thatâs a problem with the show over all. Ever since season 2, as the show started to focus more on the trio and became more serialized, the plantars started to feel less and less relevant. They were relegated to comic relief, because that all the writers could really do with them. Plus, i imagine that executive meddling prevented them from developing as characters.
This is funny to me given how we're always complaining that the trio keeps getting robbed screentime bc of the Plantars-
I personally think the Plantars character arcs only got bad in season 3 along with the many other things, are they just comic relief in the overall show? I might disagree. I find the Plantars nicely established characters that I've felt deeply resonated with in the past, and despite often being the light-hearted aspects, they're still held key aspects in Anne's journey of self discovery, which is why it infuriates me how brutally they were downplayed in season 3.
Season 1 had the Plantars family dynamics help with Anne's growth from toxicity as well as develop their bond to help her learn to stand up for herself and others, follow the right path instead of the easy one unlike she used to. Season 2 followed this pretty well, involved them in plot plenty, the whole thing with HP hiding the box as result of his own trauma that contributed to Anne's trust issues.
It's perfectly fine if you love and feel connected to the girls' dynamics more, I'll admit to myself that I do, but we probably shouldn't simplify it to the Plantars just being irreverent characters bc the fandom ranks them "below" the trio.

To the anon that sent me an ask about asking my thoughts about the tv show, Im so sorry but something happened and I think it got deleted đ But dw I would still answer it here-
So this would be a critism post and I want to make it clear that everyone is free to reblog and comment their thoughts freely, while being kind. Critism is valid and its not rude, but any bad comments or hateful remarks to any actor, especially child actors, would be deleted. I dont like blocking so dont make me please!
Okay to start, I would be so honest and say I did not find the show successful and I did not like it. I would explain all the reasons, but did it make me feel nostalgia a bit? Yes it did. Did it make me cry at the end? Yes :) I would add pros at the end. But first:
Cgi was really bad, I mean that claiming scene would be a laughing stock in a few years. Chimera? Nope- Medusa's hair also looked better in that movie in 2010. Also they avoided showing Grover's legs so much, also didn't even show us riptide's change...They got 15M per episode and if these are the results, then it is a problem. Background of Percy and Ares's fight- so so greenscreen. I wish Disney can take things seriously.
Lighting was so dark, especially for the lighting thief. Which was such a humor filled book and it was way too colorful. Why make it all so dark and lifeless?
Also humor? Way too low for pjo. "But we are not reading Percy's mind!" Yet, there were so many jokes in the books that could have been add, but they didn't. Yes there are some good jokes (pinecone fate) but to the standart, I expected to laugh way more. Its pjo!
Changes? Well to be honest I am a person who keeps book and show separate, I dont think they are the same at all. So I dont complain about the changes at much. But most of the changes were pointless to me and so many things left unsaid. I wish they didn't make Gabe way too soft. Children's show, yes. But then again, what would you do for later seasons if they cant even show Crusty's dead. Sally's real reason to marry Gabe never get explained, why? 4 pearls, why? Missing deadline? Totally pointless. Not mentioning Riptide's name? Chiron might have say it. Love tunnel? Now its a long one. Rick explained they couldn't do spiders and its hilarious, you gotta do sea monsters man- And instead of a chance to see an actual comedy: live on Olympus and Annabeth losing her shit. We get to see such a early scene of Percabeth drama. Why changing one of the funniest scene in the books to drama? You needed more edits for view or smt? Hephaestus falling over to the speech of friendship was nothing but cringe to me. Moving on, Thalia's acting to Annabeth. Why she is not nice to her and Annabeth had to earn her love. The point was Thalia to remember Jason and taking Annabeth under her wings immediatly bcs of it. Medusa's scene- Instead of us laughing to trio's silly behaviours and falling to her trap like little kids would, we get to hear a monster-hero talk. Yay another speech! Ovid's side of the story also bothered me. Greek mythology, why adding Ovid? Just us to sympatize with Medusa. Lotus Casino scene- We could have watch them have fun and going crazy but noo- they had do add more drama with Hermes. Did not see the point of his appearing either. Why is he there? I wanted to see them being children...And wanted to see the magic of the place!
Now if I move to characters, Percy's I know it all side is just annoying and adds no suspense to the viewers. What's the point if he knows everything already? "But his mom taught him!" But guys, remember, the whole point of pjo was: us to learn with Percy! We were learning the Greek myths with Percy, who is new to the world. They go somewhere and Percy immediatly: "You are Crusty, my mom told stories about you!" đ What a relief then! You tell us. Percy's sudden bravery at the end? Dude, he has 5 books for that.
Annabeth turning to a stoic child soldier? Suddenly goody-two shoes? Where are her emotions? Her fears? Her flaws? Her fricking love of architecture? She doesnt need to know everything to be smart girl. She had ADHD, she is 12! Ofc she was supposed to fall in traps. We should have watch her blushing as Luke talks, getting all wet by Percy in the toilet, she was supposed to our little girl. She is not just a badass queen yet, please. Give her personality back. Why she only smiled once at the end of the series? And not having a childhood, not even watched a movie? You guys cant be serious- She grew up in chb! She picked up strawberries, she played games and she watched movies when she was little, remember? She was not in legion... She is one of the most emotional characters, should we remind this to Rick and writers? She cries, she has feeling! Dam she was crying when they left Cerberus! She was a trouble-maker, she stole clothes, remember? Her portrayal was awful...
And about the Gods- Just..."He is trying to make them look awful at the beginning" Then why the hell it was only Athena? Almost turning her to second Zeus- Are you kidding me? You make her suddenly a child killer, when in the books she was nothing like that. Why making her worse, when other gods(Poseidon, Hermes, Hephaestus,Dionysus,Ares,Hades) seem way more human and nicer? You cant tell me he tries to make them worse when they are portrayed like that! No sir- Hephaestus is nice enough to release Percy after a friendship speech. Poseidon is suddenly a perfect dad, he is not sorry that Percy is born. Ares is just a dumb twitter bully, where in the books he was threating them to no end. And fricking Hades?! I am sorry but Hades like that- He should have been scary. But no, he is just a lonely cool guy. I thought he softened after Nico. Cant wait for the development now...
Other than that, one of my most important things: vibe. Sorry...Like I said, it was way too boring for pjo. Even that horrible movies had more vibe! Gimme the vibe!
Pacing? Has a problem and I hope they fix it. Episodes being too short? Also another issue.
Now for the chb, I was hoping to see more activity. Why the camp is not full of noisy kids running around, playing hide and seek like in the books, training wild around the areas, camfire and silly songs? Where are our children screaming and being ADHD demigods? Instead they play chess in the cabin- Please, give more life to chb.
Finally, for the things I liked:
Riptide song!!! That song is my favourite thing in the whole show- Like its soo good.
Seeing Sally's struggle to raise Percy. Also a plus for me. Because I was curious. Also adding Poseidon to the scene was okay. I loved that parts.
Young Percy did awesome and he was such a good actor :)
Percy's dreams were good, I loved seeing them. Congrats! Andd, child accurate cast. It was important. But I wish they hurry so then we wont have it anymore đ
That was it! Like I said, I find it a bad show, as a fan of 12 years. I waited this for so many years. I was dreaming this. But sorry, bad show is a bad show. At least it did give me some nostalgia and it did make me cry at the end :) I hope they improve because it would suck if they get a cancel before season 5. The bad thing is, I feel they knew we pjo fandom wanted a show for years. And they knew we would eat the crumbs. Its just not fair, you know. They would like it anyway, type. They are not taking it as seriously as they should. With that budget, look at other shows with that budget. I know, its still a kids' show. But I dont think its an excuse for them to upset the fans who waited this long...
Thanks for the ask anon! And like I said, feel free to add your thoughts :)

I just went to the kny premiere and this is my OOTD.

Since my hair is partially dyed pink, I went for a Mitsuri inspired look. I braided my hair, wore her shirt (that I got from the swordsmith premiere) and wore all her colors (pink white jacket, green skirt, and flower patterned socks.) Also close up of my pink hair below.

I got this idea when me and my friend were window shopping for clothes. We were talking abt which clothes the kny characters would wear and which ones our oc would wear too, so that's how we thought of doing some casual cosplay during the priemere.


My friend went for a subtle Tengen look, with a simple black outfit, since Tengen doesnt wear a haori. He also wore some jewelry as an homage to Tengens flashiness. He also loves Zenitsu so ofc he wore a Zenitsu bag.
The theater has less people and wasn't as lively as the Swordsmith premiere, probably cuz we went at the wrong time, but hey, more room for us to be unhinged without disrupting anyone tho haha. (I was sad not to see any cosplayers, we intended to bring our cosplayer friend too, but she was busy)


There was a display so we took lots of pictures. We even made sure to stand next to our fictional crushes, me with Giyuu and my friend with Tengen.
Anyways here's what I thought abt the movie so far
-first of all I LOVE IT. I have no idea how much I miss seeing the rest of the characters so much. The Hashira Training arc is an arc that I really adore, bc it's one of the few moments where we get to see the characters slow down a bit. My friend says he finds it to be the most boring arc, but idk, with all the action in KNY I dig for some "boringness" once in awhile. Also we were joking abt how this arc is like the "school festival arc" or "beach episode" of KNY, again, one of the reasons to love this arc.
-I Never thought much about Sanemi and Obanai's dynamic before. I just know they are a besties, but this filler really made me interested in them! Snake breathing and Wind breathing visuals were just sooo cool!!
-Have I mention that I miss the cast so much, but also I find myself foaming at the mouth everytime I see Giyuu đđ€Ł I noticed that there seems to be a sad piano music that's playing when he was trying to leave the meeting (I wonder if that is his ost) meanwhile my friend is foaming at the mouth everytime he sees Tengen.
-I feel bad for anyone in the butterfly estate who had to sleep next to Zenitsu and Inosuke. XD
-Also it's so nice to see some Kanao and Shinobu moment! Shinobu looks extra gorgeous I noticed. They really yassified her this season, and I'm not complaining. Also I like how even after Giyuu left, Shinobu tried her best to include him when they were discussing the pillar training. I wish they didnt cut it short though, I wanna know what they talk about Giyuu behind close doors so bad lol.
-Mitsuri's "Tanjiro speech" was so well executed and adorable, and just when I thought it couldn't get more expressive in the manga, then they even added her ost, and it was just perfect! Kanahana knock it out of the park with this one too! Even if there weren't alot of people watching. I did hear some giggles in this scene (including ourselves)
-Overall, it was a very satisfying watch. I really enjoy this arc for being some of the slower moments before the storm that is the final arc, and I think they managed to nail that! All the little things such as the filler of Tamayo being informed about Shinobu helping her, and some scenes that were rearranged, made the flow of the story go more smoothly.
-Also yes the op really slaps.
Speaking of our cosplayer friend that we mentioned before, after we were done with movie, it's almost as if there was some fate or foreshadowing going on bc we did end up stumbling upon her (though not in cosplay) and we ended up going back to take better pictures with her in it!

star trek update time. last night we did ds9's "image in the sand" and "shadows and symbols." damn. so much has happened
image in the sand:
i did make a joke about this strange lady being sisko's like. mommy. which was correct. and then i also joked about her being possessed by a pah wraith which was half-correct. so, i need to stop making jokes
did NOT predict quark going along on the stovokor mission. i was like damn i wish he was going but i didn't say it bc i didn't want him to look bad. but then he did!!
whatever kira and this romulan commander had going on was gay. i know she was just getting buttered up but it was gay and i enjoyed it
less sure about the new hair. the braids are nice but eeeehh
sisko was so chill about being approached in a dark alley by a total stranger. doubly chill considering this stranger literally did stab him second later
ezri dax jumpscare at the end of this ep. i promised myself i was gonna try really really hard not to hate her just because she isn't jadzia but
shadows and symbols:
here is the thing. i hate her because she's not jadzia
like, they could have made her have no personality at all. like jadzia at first. they could have made her try to BE jadzia and fail. i don't know. all this like. quirky anxiety cutesy chattering stuff. i'm tryin not to be a massive misogynist here but SHE THREW SISKO'S BASEBALL AWAY. WHO DOES THAT
furthermore: SHIP'S COUNSELOR? many times have we spoken about which tng character, other than worf and o'brien, could have been done better justice on ds9. always deanna comes up and then is dismissed because "can you imagine how stupid a therapist would be on ds9?" AND NOW. THEY HAVE A THERAPIST. ON DS9
was this why they had that woman talking up the idea of therapists in sound of her voice...did they already know...this sucks so bad. poor terry farrell.
quark coming along on the jadzia mission was great, but i feel like he doesn't have a right to complain unless he's bringing something of worth. but he's not even serving them drinks??
regardless the rest of that was extremely touching and i'm sure jadzia loves stovokor and she'd probably cry herself silly if she knew her beloved friends did all that for her
surprise return of benny russel?? this was weird and zi'm not sure how i feel about it but it was fun to see damar without makeup
speaking of damar, i've been told he has an arc and i can see the start of it here...i am so optimistic and hopeful
one thing i did love about this episode was the kira/odo and just the kira. she was being super fucking brave and standing her ground so well and then sisko like opens the wormhole and she experiences fucking. religious euphoria. no way was she backing down after that...and it was nice to see starfleet side with her for a change instead of making her life harder
TONIGHT: voy's "night" and ds9's "afterimage."

I find it weird how so many in the GG fandom love Nate but hate Chuck. I'm not a fan of either, but I don't find any of the main characters likable enough, though they're entertaining but I don't understand their logic. Nate made numerous comments that were questionable throughout the show and enabled and defended Chuck's mistakes and in season 6 he dates and sleeps with a teen as a grown man with a business. If he looked unattractive I'm sure people would criticize him more for it but he's charming enough for them to hypocritically sweep it under a rug. Nate told the police they couldn't talk to Sage because she's a minor and also complained on a date with her about it being too high school for him. He also made a weird comment trying to convince someone to go to a party because there would be grown women dressed like schoolgirls there among other comments. Chuck isn't better than him and Nate is more likable most of the show, but while Chuck's misdeeds weren't handled realistically enough it was acknowledged to some extent while Nate's was swept under a rug in the show. Nate sleeping with a minor was treated like a rich people thing since when he told his grandpa a grown woman was sleeping with him as a teen his grandpa talked of it as normal while Rufus who wasn't rich had a critical reaction to an adult sleeping with Dan as a teen. Miss Carr wasn't rich enough to walk away without backlash, so fans reinforcing the lack of backlash Nate got in the show and hypocritically being woke in Chuck's case to harass real people over a serious issue for stan wars sickens me. I don't even ship Chair and I find it disturbing and disrespectful to people who deal with shit in real life. It feel like they don't really care about the issue they're preaching about. Also most will go on about Blair being mistreated because of ship wars and stan Blair but will much lesser acknowledge the way she treated victims of abuse and slut shamed women as if they are less important because they aren't favorites. Her publicly outing Dan as Miss Carr's victim for her personal agenda was wrong and her doing things like making Eva out to be a prostitute less worthy of respect was distasteful. People judge others for enjoying Chuck's character and while Blair is more likable she was messed up and not someone most would get along with in real life. While I ship Dair I find it hypocritical how some Dair fans will unprovoked be self righteous about shipping them and say shit like they're less retarded than Chair fans while liking Blair who was messy and would likely not support abuse victims if it got in the way of her personal goals and would actively bully them instead. I confronted someone over this and they got offended over me calling them self righteous even though they were offensive first, accusing me of not really shipping them. I hate how people have to act like their side of the fandom is perfect and judge others for what they like in fiction.
hi!! so truthfully after yesterday I wasn't entirely sure where this ask was going but I think I get ur point. obviously I just wanna reiterate that I'm a chair shipper but I agree that a lot of nate's behaviour is overlooked bc he's attractive. like u said there are extremely vocal chuck haters who love nate as if he hasn't done plenty of problematic things too. I think that to a certain degree some fans have a selective memory and are quick to list bad things 1 character has done but conveniently ignore or excuse another character for worse or equally bad behaviour. ultimately for me gossip girl is a show about "bad" people so the idea that they all have to be made to be likeable goes against their character, none of them are meant to be especially good or nice and there's nothing wrong with that. obviously it really depends on the individual, but I think this idea that dair is morally superior to chair is kinda ridiculous bc at the end of the day it's a 00s teen drama where all the characters are varying levels of "bad" and like u said it's hypocritical too

worst job you've ever had?
i worked at torrid for three months and i wanted to die every day lol
okay, maybe not literally die, but i could feel my soul being sucked out of my body every time i clocked in.
also thank you so much for sending me this ask bc highkey i love complaining about this job i had so... this is gonna be a long one sksks
when i started working in retail, i thought that the customers were gonna be the reason why i hated my job. but they honestly weren't that bad. it was the staff, the managers specifically, that made me lose my fucking mind.
first and foremost, they took money from me. it was small amounts, but they still did it. basically what happened is i didn't realize it at the time, but sometimes i wasn't able to clock in or out. in particular, the first couple weeks i worked there. i just didn't have numbers to do so, so the manager on duty would say when i clocked in and out. and i realized later on, when looking over all of my pay stubs and whatnot, that they would take off some of the time i worked. like there were times i went over four hours (that was how long most of my shifts were since it was part time) but they wouldn't allow that to be the case. they would clock it at four on the dot, or sometimes less.
one time i came in 15 minutes late, bc of snow i think. and the gm was pissed as hell at me. it was weekend, she literally had EVERYONE in (bc she swore we were gonna be packed when really we were packed for about 20 mins of my shift, and then the rest of the time i spent doing almost nothing since no one was there). she also got annoyed at me for not telling her i was gonna be late, but when i told her i couldn't text her bc i was in the car, she just rolled her eyes at me.
anyway, i made sure to stay over my clock out time to make up for the time i was late. and bc when i came in and we were packed, i had to write down my time in and out. she, in the end, removed the extra 15 i stayed.
the first day i ever worked there was inventory (terrible mistake on my part for deciding to say yes lol). at the end they had a whole pile of clothes that were out of season and thus needed to be trashed. but they weren't just gonna trash perfectly fine clothes, they were to destroy them. i'm talking cut up with box cutters and have bleach thrown on them. they literally sneered at the idea of a homeless person going thru the trash and picking out these clothes to wear. one of the managers there was very happy to ruin the clothes, like gleefully so. they asked me if i wanted to help out and i refused.
they wouldn't let me work above four hours, and in pa, that means i wasn't allowed a break. and look, being on your feet for four hours isn't that bad. but they would purposefully make it so i couldn't take a break by making sure my hours were that low.
hilariously tho, the last time i worked, i saw the schedule for the following week. they still had me on it, but the gm was changing it. but i saw what my hours would have been. they were gonna jump my hours. but like... far into the deep end. i'm talking one of the days alone they had me there for TEN HOURS. the juxtaposition would have fucking killed me lol
the general atmosphere working there was... bad. all the managers were 30+, minus one girl who was closer to my age (but she was the one that gleefully wanted to ruin perfectly fine clothes so... i didn't exactly vibe with her). i was 23 at the time. and idk if it was just a company thing or if they all drank koolaid i wasn't allowed to have, but they all acted like they would die for this company. i'm not joking. they were all also very clique-ish with each other. and since i was almost the only other sales associate they had, it always made me feel left out and uncomfortable. bc essentially it was all managers and me.
if you know nothing about torrid, it's a plus size clothing store. every one of us that worked in the store was plus size, which was nice. but i'm telling you, it was weird as fuck when a skinny person would come into our store. every manager would glare at the person until they left. i remember one time a manager of mine bitching about a customer, all bc she was confused by the sizing in our store, and manager basically told her "this store isn't for you" but in a much ruder way.
and look i get it to some extent. skinny ppl can shop at basically any store, let us have ours. but like... damn girl. we're not in hs anymore. chill out. that skinny woman did nothing wrong except be skinny lol
another thing that was odd was when we would have down time, they would let us try on clothes in the store. which hey, that's nice. they wanted us to have a better understanding, in particular, to the jean selection torrid had at the time. there was a variety of types, designs, ect, so they had us go thru each pair and try them on. that way if a customer asked about them, we could explain what we liked, what we think would work best for them, you get the picture. i tried on a pair, they were nice, they ask to see me in them. and immediately the manager on duty was singing my praises. "omg you look so good, you should totally get them. they make you look so great. seriously i've never seen you look better" ect ect. then when i said the price is a bit much (given i was only making, after taxes, a little over $100 every two weeks and these jeans were literally $80), she stopped, laughed, and said "oh i'm sorry. i just get so in the zone to sell these clothes that i end up even doing it on my employees."
this is also the same manager that had a tendency to just randomly bark at times. so i kinda just chalked it up to her being weird lol
for weeks on end, and i'm not joking, all i did during my shifts was steam clothes. and i mean, that for four hours straight, i was shoved into a back corner, given racks and racks of clothes, and was told to steam them so that they could be put out. mind you, some of this shit was just summer backstock or another season of clothes. so they weren't going out bc it was winter. but regardless, for four hours almost four times a week i was forced to stand, sweat my ass off, and steam clothes. if i tried to help out a customer or work at the register, they would literally stop me and tell me to go back and steam clothes. i had literal burns on my hands from how hot the steam was, and still... i was told to do that.
but the thing that ended up making me quit: the gm and i were just two ppl that could not get along. it was obvious that if we knew each other outside of work, we would hate each other. but at work, we tolerated each other at best.
one day, it's me and her. it's a slow morning. she's off doing something, i'm at the register. a guy comes in with a return for his mom. i ask him if he wanted to get something else instead, but he was adamant that his mom just wanted her money back. i forget why this transaction was gonna be complicated, but my manager overheard, came over, and she finished up the transaction. now, when customers would come in, we were supposed to say "hi welcome to torrid." and when they leave say "have a good day." and i had been in this job for three months, so i got that basic mechanic down pretty early on. when the guy came in, i said hi. but since my manager was finishing up the transaction, she ended up saying goodbye to him. i handed him his bag, gave him a smile, and he left.
the millisecond he was gone, she turned to me and said "angelica, you have to say hello and goodbye to the customers. it's our policy to greet them and tell them to have a good day once the transaction is done."
it took literally every. single. nerve. i had in me not to quit on spot. and i truly mean that. bc the way she said it to me, like i was child, was so condescending. not to mention, SHE SAID GOODBYE TO HIM. if i didn't hear her say anything, i would have told him goodbye. but bc she said it to him, and I WAS LITERALLY NEXT TO HER WHEN SHE DID IT, i knew i didn't have to say it since he heard it from HER.
i'm telling you to this day this shit boils my blood lmao
and then this bitch had the audacity either that same day or later that week to ask me how i was feeling about working there and i said "it's fine." and she went "it's fine? you're not enjoying yourself?"
ma'am. it's retail. i'm not paid enough to enjoy myself. and even if i was, you're my boss. so... no. plus you're literally stealing money from me fuck off you bitch sksks
i think a couple days after that happened, i told her i was getting a full time job in philly so i had to leave. i ended up not having a job lined up, didn't get one til almost the end of the year, and i've been working at that place since lol
i also hate the job i currently have, but not as much. it's a lot more tolerable, surprisingly, than torrid ever was.
the only time i ever enjoyed myself at torrid was helping customers out. i remember i helped a girl get a new bra. she was like freshly 18, never had a good one, and was about to go off to college, and wanted to feel good about herself. and she had her mom and grandma there, but i was able to get her a real good one that made her feel great. i remember that situation fondly bc i liked helping ppl feel better about themselves, or their bodies specifically.
and it was nice to relate to someone on body struggles and try to help them like themselves in a way i could never help myself (especially at that time), which is why i wanted to work at torrid in the first place.
but in the end it sucked being there. and also... the clothes are just ugly lol
