i am jealous with marin garrix . Thats it .Now i am 200%sure that i don't like anyother ship except carlando . I used to like martin alot but not anymore . Am i mental😭😭??

Hey, I'm going to lump the additional ask below into this post because I think you also sent it, though apologies if not.

Regarding the first ask, I think you're totally entitled and allowed to purely not vibe with people. You don't have to find a reason not to like someone. Lord knows there are plenty of people I just am "meh" about without being able to give you a concrete answer as to why (Also, I think trying to find a reason can lead to people creating false facts in order to justify their dislike, which leads nowhere good). This seems like a case of just not vibing with someone to me because as far as I'm aware, nothing "problematic" has occurred, especially in regards to Lando. It's clear they really care about each other and trust one another with their circles of friends, so make of that what you will in terms of judging character. What I would recommend if you haven't done so, is to simply filter Martin's name and his and Lando's shipname to save yourself the negative feelings (I promise it really helps).

Regarding the second ask, I just don't really agree, sorry. Lando's a self-sufficient adult, and I don't personally think he relies on any one person for attention. In the last few years, it has been very rare for Carlos or Lando to post about being with one another even when they are together. A lot of the content we get of the two of them comes from fans rather than themselves. Sometimes we hear it from them that they've hung out as well after the fact (e.g., sunset golfing in Austin last year and breakfast in Australia this year (before we got the lando.mov post) to name a couple). Just because they don't post it on social media, doesn't mean they aren't talking or hanging out. I know you presumably don't vibe with Martin, but hell, Lando rarely posts about him either anymore, and they are together a decent amount for how busy they both are.

So no, I don't think you're mental as the first ask puts it, but I think it's important to take a step back sometimes and remember not everything we see on social media (including fan-to-fan interactions like here on tumblr) is the end-all-be-all. I don't think anything has monumentally shifted in Carlos and Lando's relationship (take everything that happened and was said in Australia as a recent example), and I don't think Martin or Rebecca is the root cause of anything.

ACTIVE WIP: Princess Imperial

Now, here's the fun thing about Princess Imperial... I don't have any post drafts in progress right now. But I do have 160,500 scrapped words. So let's mix up the game a little! If you send me an ask with any of the following prompts, I will post the entire corresponding deleted scene:

Evie and Julien as grad school classmates (1,500 words)

Evie in the archives (3,250 words)

Garden proposal (4,250 words) (shared! also has 10k words of follow-up: part one, part two, part three, and part four)

Banquet and a ball (5,750 words) (shared!)

Gallery opening (1,500 words)

Evie is invited to Compiègne (1,750 words)

Evie at Compiègne (1,250 words)

Cent-Garde, Élysée Palace Division (2,500 words) (shared!)

for bonus fun I can make a poll about which scrapped element should be added back into the story... but the only poll options are from deleted scenes I share here, meaning you only get the full voting experience if I get asked for all eight scenes

@oceanlaceagate

Well ok you asked for explaining so I'm so sorry about the rant that's bound to happen I have beef with this woman like many many MANY homeschool co-op mothers I would like to meet her IN THE PIT

uh I guess trigger warning possibly would be like food diets and possibly eating disorders I'm not sure but I would rather be safe then accidentally harm you friend?

my mother was a crunchy homeschool nutter and her entire social group was crazy homeschool mom cultists.They were all obsessed with clean godly eating and losing weight they constantly kept repeating that they needed to treat their bodies like temples and it really wasn't healthy or good for so many reasons.

well one of the women in that group for as long as i can remember (I've know this lady since I was a lil kid) she believes it's impossible for European women to get fat because of *spins the wheel*

She just has some fucked up made up facts about Europe in general like WARNING SHE'S ACTUALLY ON PURPOSE STUPID

like she has for as long as I can remember believed with E V E R Y FIBER in her body (i have argued so much with her she will not budge in her world this is fact) no one once they hit preteens in france eats bread.

France home of the croissant, baguette and many other carbs bready bakery wonders...

Yeah no one there eats bread that is why French women are so thin and healthy they don't eat bread or any kind of sweets! (She and my mom then tried to make me do that for a bit they were always "suggesting" diets on me it sucked in expecting the thm diet and the melted butter+coffee+ apple cider vinegar diet to have fucked up my body somehow)

Apartly in her world no one in Ireland uses any kind of fat when I asked her to explain wtf that meant she said no one in Ireland uses oil or butter which like..

No that makes no sense where did she even come up with that?!I

Once I took a picture of like some fancy imported butter from Ireland at the store to show her and she and the other moms all straight up walked away and would not look at it. They would not talk to me kept actually doin the "talk to the hand" thing and covering their ears and telling me I'm wrong and stupid and to shut up they will not look at the evidence.

This woman is in her late forties to early fifties she has convinced half the homeschool mother cult that no one in France eats bread with no evidence other then she said so!!!!!

They honest to God believe it also!!!!

Recently she was trying to tell me that no one in the UK eats chicken that it's "looked down on as a disgusting poor man's food" she just went on n on on this long crazy rant that made no sense at all but she acted like she was very intelligent and cultured for knowing this.

My best friend and wife is from the UK and frankly i quickly asked them and they were able to point out this lady is just batshit insane.

Like my wife mentioned there's Nandos everywhere in the UK and that serves chicken mainly I have no clue where she's getting her info or ideas.

She got super angry amd defensive and has gone off saying she has two sources "two very reliable very real and very British people who totally aren't made up there her real Facebook friends that told her yup no one in the uk eats chicken only the USA makes fried chicken poor England is missing out on chicken because they're a bunch of snobs who think it's poor people food" so that's what she believes despite a lot of common sense and evidence to prove otherwise but "how dare I question an elder?!'

I really can't explain it like there's no logic or facts in it I myself don't understand it? I have gotten into many fights with this women.

So many fight

so so so many fights

Stupid amounts of fights

not just over this but like over everything under the sun I swear this woman is living a different reality then everyone else.

she just makes stuff up on a fly and then somehow convinces herself and like a dozen other women in they're 40s-50s that everyone in Europe is significantly skinner because they just happen to not eat the food that one lady dislikes...

like I can't really explain more then that this woman has no evidence, refuses to listen to evidence and has the firmest faith in stupidity I've ever seen it's truly kinda terrifying i wish i had her self confidence but also just wow....

I don't think that she's normal I think a lot of American children do actually learn about other countries? I learned about other countries when I was really young my mom would focus on one a month and then I'd have to do a lil presentation at the end of the month in front of my grandad and we'd cook a meal with some traditional foods from there if possible I had a lot of fun learning recipes from all over the world and we'd get a monthly cd with music from all over the world it was so cool! one of my favorite games when I was little with my grandad was he'd spin the globe point at random n then i had to say thw county, the capital, a famous food item from there and one history fact is famous person if I knew one and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!

maybe it's a new homeschool thing or a church thing or maybe this lady is just straight up purposely stupid I'm not sure? I have no fuckin clue this woman is insane I avoid her every chance I can.

i know breaks from writing are necessary and i'm getting better at them but every now and then it just washes over me in a wave of 'but you haven't written seriously in days maybe even a week or two--' as if it's something to feel bad about and not just a natural phase of existing as a writer

[allonsybadwolf]

Okay I started Harlan Coben's Shelter and I just watched three teenagers each taken out one air pod and put them in their ears, and literally was watching thinking "oh what is that. Is that gum. Wait is it cigarettes, why are they putting them behind their ears. It doesn't seem in character to write them as smoke- ohhhhhh. It's air pods. I'm just out of touch with the youths."

You answered half of this in tags recently, but what's your own classpect?

I am incredibly serious right now when I beg you all, please, and if you have Twitter or Tiktok or whatever to please spread the word: click on an author's profile on Ao3.

You want to know if an author has written more? Want to know if they're still writing? Want to see more from them? Want to know if they've written a trope or kink or sex scenario you enjoy?

Click on their name. And look at their profile.

I cannot tell you how many times in the last six months someone has read a new or newer fic of mine and said they (a new reader who has read nothing else I've done) "can't wait to see what you do next!" I've written 50+ fics and over a million words already.

"I don't know if you're still writing..." click on my profile. I am. I literally wrote a 128k+ fic for that ship last month.

"Would you ever do X?" "Please do Y!" I already did. Click on my name and look at my works.

Archive of our Own is a library. It's an archive. Not social media. It is your responsibility to fight back against the laziness that corporate algorithms have trained into you.

Click my author name. Just click it. Just click it.

Before you demand more, or ask if a writer will do XYZ, or wonder if the author still writing, or anything - click on their profile. Click on the author's profile.

I'm not trying to be mean or condescending or anything like that. I'm just exhausted. It's disheartening and frustrating to repeat myself ad nauseam, because someone couldn't take thirty seconds to do the tiniest bit of work to see if I've written lately, if I've written more for their ship, or scan my works to see if I've written what they're asking for. Please. Please. I'm begging.

Click the author's name, and explore before you ask.
