I will be living out my life and suddenly Im like "wow we actually got the trojan/jerejean sequel"

Because for years it was such a crack random thought, a truly hopeless dream because in the main series there were absolutely NO HITS.

It was just a wild manifestation of a bunch of fans that REALLY loved side characters, and I can say it because after reading aftg in 2016 my favorite character was fucking Jeremy, so I know what I'm talking about it okey.

I been in a state of shock since it was announced, and even after I read it, that just now while we wait for the golden raven it just hit me like we actually getting a trojan trilogy A JEREJEAN TRILOGY LIKE????

I remember I found out about jerejean after reading the jean extra content, and thinking that he needed something good in his life and immediately seeing that people ship him with Jeremy, a character who he never interact with in canon but was probably gonna in the future and I was like "that makes so much sense" and this was when there were like barely fics of them

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I cannot believe that saying "the trojan sequel" isn't synonyms of impossible dream anymore

Alright, here is my picture with Craig. First of all I gotta say is I'm so happy he changed into just regular clothes for this it felt more authentic 🤣 maybe it's because it was after the show? I don't know. But very great. When I saw him come out in my head i was like yesss and then he's all hey guys! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Anyway, when it was my turn i literally ran across the stage to him (embarrassing) and then proceeded to bounce about and flail my arms saying ohmygosh I'm so excited to meet you! I for real was fangirling lmao I couldn't contain myself so awkward 🤣 I could tell he wasn't expecting the extreme enthusiasm (though I do have to just say this now: I am a naturally bubbly person lol) and he sort of looked back at me but then he laughed grabbed my hand and said "well I'm very excited to meet YOU!" 🤣 Bless him. Then I told him that this was my 4th time to see him live and he laughed and was like really? And I'm like yes! Then the photographer was like picture time and I was lile oh right and finally let go of his hand...I had been holding onto it the whole time anyway then we both faced the camera and I didn't want to just stand there so I put my hand on his back and he leaned into me like he's doing and when he did that I had no way to control my face. That is my face of pure happiness 🤣 it's horrendous but it's authentic hahahaha also like all the other people got him to do poses but I was too like !!! To even think so both of us are just doing what we naturally wanted to do and the fact he wanted to lean in to me makes me feel so happy!!! Then when it was time for me to go he was like "by the way, I love your sweater!" And I was like THANK YOU!! and he was likeeee "it's festive. Very spooky" and i laughed and thanked him again then I was like thank you for this it was so nice to meet you and he smiled and said you too and then I walked away grabbed my poster and went outttt and that was my experience. Still can't believe it happened. I also really still can't believe he made arthurian jokes lmfao like to hit that level of niche...it was a moment in time. I wish I had said something about it but I was too frantic and my mind was not working properly at all!

They say never meet your heroes well I have met mine and it was FABULOUS!!!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

I couldn't stop thinking about an AU where Daniel resorts to gathering vitae again, this time to 'cure' Hazel, after his Brennenburg adventure💫, thoughts all mainly derived from this loadscreen text that tells us that Hazel is still in hospice care by the time the game's story began.

As much as I love Daniel, I don't think he really learned all that much from his experience even in the most charitable ending towards him in which he saves Agrippa. I can very, VERY easily see him slipping back into old ways if it meant saving Hazel. The most he seems to approach viewing torture as bad is when he realizes he himself no longer counts as an innocent so he can't justify killing others to save himself anymore. But killing no good, horrible, bad people to save HAZEL? Now, we're cooking with gas 😀 💀

For the character ask game: Andrea - 7, 8 & 12. 😊

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I love the amount of sass Andrea has, and how people keep that in their writing. I love how we've collectively decided that Lena and Andrea were a thing back in the day. (Sometimes I forget that they're not canon.) And I love rojarias now 😌

Though in general, I feel like I don't see a lot of her in the fandom, and I'd love to see more 👀 I'm excited to see where @sssammich goes with collateral. There are also a couple of older rojarias fics that I haven't gotten around to reading yet.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

I really don't like when the fandom is hard on her for keeping the medallion 🥺

She has that snobby rich girl thing going on - and if people don't like her, that's fine - but the medallion was a choice between betraying a friend or killing her father (who it is clear she loves very dearly). In her shoes, I'd make the same choice.

I think it's interesting that she and Kara are, in some sense, very similar - they both betrayed Lena for very understandable reasons. But Kara is a marshmallow, and Andrea has kind of a bitchy hard shell, and I think that changes how people look at the betrayals themselves.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I think some of her Mean Girl persona evolved directly because of the stress of the medallion/betrayal, and later the murders she was forced to do with Leviathan. The stress of that would've been incredible, and she would've become meaner and more closed off over time - Obsidian was her only sense of control when she was losing control of her own life.

Which means... with the right person (*cough* Sam *cough*, Nic this is your fault), under the right circumstance, I think she could become soft over time, kind of like we see with Lena in season 6. They're not the same characters - but they grew up in these similarly rich environments and had a lot of life trauma, so they'd unravel in similar ways. (The biggest difference between them is that Andrea is motivated by protecting family, whereas Lena is motivated by trying to undo the harms her family has done.)

But to be clear, I don't think she'd ever get as soft as Lena gets. Not publicly. She has an image she is going to maintain 😌

Speaking of being motivated by family, one thing we didn't see in the show - that I think was really important - was towards the end, where Andrea decides that she can't take the consequences of her father's actions, and realizes that he never loved her. I think that would've been an existential moment for Andrea, to realize it is not her responsibility.

If she defines herself by protecting family (literally gave up her freedom for this), that would've been a big adjustment in her own mind. What becomes important to her after that point? How does she define herself now? I think there's a lot to dig into there.

Thanks for the ask ❤️

begging on my knees...what kind of dress did Marina make Dan wear...please, in the name of science...

LMAO 🤣🤣🤣 I'm actually surprised that I haven't yapped about this properly yet, I think I did in dms once?

Anyways Dan has strict standards when it comes to a dress because he might not be able to avoid Marina using him as dress up doll (she has too much dirt on him and could make his life very unpleasant if he refuses her too often), he can at least pick a dress that's not horrible to wear for him. Therefore, Dan is choosing his battles and came up with these guide lines for dresses.

Needs to be warm

Needs to be practical

Needs to be easy to move in

Needs to have pockets! (one of the most important criteria)

Should preferably be green but he's willing to negotiate on that one

Come near him with a pair of heels and he will hiss at you like a demonic cat

Follow these rules and you can convince him to wear a dress BUT unless you are Rina, you will need to fucking pay so much money to get him to wear it cause making him dress up ain't cheap. Also, you either deliver him a dress that fits these criteria or you get jackshit because he refuses to go shopping for this.

Now.

As for what dress Marina picked for him, @rahxe-things actually send some in the server (unrelated to this) that i thought were super chiefcore so let me grab an example:

It's something like this, longsleeved and with turtleneck for warmth. I imagine that the material with this is fairly stretchy so it's comfortable. Just imagine the pockets though I doubt this one has them lmaooo. (also it was green because Rina can accomendate for her brother's preferences lol)

Basically think Ada Wong RE4 Remake kinda dress and then you have it🫡

I think it's acutally hilarious that Dan is so picky when it comes to dresses, like he won't care about colour with his normal clothes as long as it's not bright but with dresses he's like: Ummm actually 🤓☝️ I think he just wanted to make Marina's life as difficult as possible (it wasn't difficult for her at all, she had a blast finding one that fit all the criteria).

The thing about Dan and fashion is that he actually knows quite a lot about it, purely due to osmosis from listen to his sister ramble on (and later on from Dave's babbling). So technically, he could dress up in a fancy way, he has the knowledge and the money but he just has no fucks left to give. Which is why when he cleans up (for example if he needs to attend an offical Vongola Family function) he actually looks pretty damn good because in this scenario he's forced to wear something proper and his professionalism doesn't let him halfass it. But he won't do it purely out of his own violition which is why he just sticks to the uniform and the same type of outfits in his free time.

for months i genuinely wholeheartedly could not tell the 911 guys apart and this is so important for me to stress bc throughout my life i have prided myself on being able to tell twins apart really easily and liking being that person to connect faces to other things ive watched or honestly just seen in passing like i could track down a random commercial actress and shit and i mean i suppose part of that is not knowing their characters and they just twin all the time but i apologize still im aware that mans last name is diaz and now i feel like im sitting here laid up @ all the tumblr lesbians like haha damn so thats buck x eddie? that said idk if im like happy i know any of this.

I feel like we dont explore the quiet, comforting aspect of fire enough in characters with fire powers

And i could be totally wrong but like

Take Thoma for example. He’s actually a perfect example of what i mean, he exhudes the same vibes as a warm campfire on a brisk autumn night, or a candle or fireplace fire etc.

Contained, peaceful, almost soft looking, like if you reach out and touch the flames it would feel like the softest blanket

Except it would not feel good actually, and those same flames, if allowed out of control or very angry, are very dangerous.

We’re good at acknowledging the dangerous aspects of fire

Not so much the quiet, warm, comforting ones in my opinion

(And i could be totally wrong. Its 10pm im tired and nostalgic and mildly depressed and watching a candle burn on the first night that truly feels like autumn lol. Im feeling a bit poetic, so sue me haha)

[dracimexidae]

So yeah since Jasmine and Sara are out of the Finals 😢, I'm left with the BJK Cup and then i'm basically on vacation myself from tennis (as for the more engaged and "stressful" part of watching matches😝- honestly it's "exhausting" being a fan a pause is definitely needed phew 😮‍💨🤣)

Ya know. I spent most of my life with horrible painful soul-crushing social anxiety.

And after about 25 years of continuous hard work, suddenly, people started pointing out - to my utter bafflement - that I had, in fact, achieved my lifelong dream of being charismatic. I'm 29 now; I feel comfortable in most social situations, and it is a very rare person whom I cannot make laugh.

I am, undoubtedly, finally, charismatic.

But do you know what I found?

I found that now that I have an understanding of which social rules serve which functions -- Now that I have an understanding of just how much damage my awkwardness was doing to people, well,

I found that, actually, my awkwardness never really hurt anyone at all. People were just judgmental dicks to me about it.

Now that I have the skill-level to (most of the time) creatively vocalize what is in my head as soon as I think it and without fear, I can confirm once and for all what I had always suspected:

I was worth talking to when I was quiet.

I was worth talking to when I was awkward, and when the words in my head took time and patience to hear, and when most of my jokes didn't land. I was worth talking to the whole time.

So I just... I hope that if you've ever wondered whether you are worth communicating with, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes. Each of us has a soul worth sharing - and if you and I were talking, I would happily wait for you to speak (or communicate in other ways) without condescending, and I would never shame you for that harmless awkwardness that so many people feel the need to violently stomp out.

You are worth talking to. You just are. And you deserve people who will speak to you with kindness, with patience, and with the basic immutable respect owed to all people.

(I talk about this with some frequency, both on tumblr and in real life. At some point, maybe I'll gather all my thoughts on the matter into one post. At some point, I wrote about my personal experience trying to build my social skill. But I felt the need to say at least a little bit tonight after seeing this other lovely post, and I'm glad I did. It will happen again.)
