i am once again disappointed but not surprised at the COD fandom only caring about “sensitivity” when it’s convenient for them
#telling people it’s morally wrong to simp for makarov#whilst simping for graves or valeria#or ANY character in this damn series#just shows that you only give a shit about ‘sensitivity’ when it doesn’t inconvenience you#‘but he’s bad :(’ my brother in christ. let’s talk about western militaries#price nikolai and gaz literally kidnapped and tortured an innocent woman and child#the UK and US militaries have DEVASTATED vulnerable countries#y’all wanna talk about sensitivity?? then acknowledge how even the ‘good’ characters like the 141 are shitty!#none of these characters are good people!#i cannot stress this enough. eliminating characters because they’re ‘problematic’ eliminates the entire cast. every single one of them.#MAYBE farah would be safe?? i’m not knowledgeable enough to say for certain. but everyone else— 141. los vaqueros. laswell. alex. nikolai. +#valeria. graves. every last warzone operator. EVERY single character is ‘off-limits’ with that logic.#COD fandom is also horribly racist despite pretending it’s not. notice how people only talk about this when it’s white folks being impacted#no one gave a shit when a middle eastern woman and child were kidnapped and tortured. or when fans were romanticizing cartel violence.#or how the SAS CIA and Delta Force have histories of terrorizing vulnerable people; especially in the middle east and asia#i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again before anyone accuses me of smth false:#sensitivity is important. it can co-exist with letting people enjoy problematic things. the source itself is problematic —#ergo. everything that comes from it (even the ‘good’ things) is as well.#you can’t cherry pick which characters people are allowed to be critical of. you can have your faves and have the ones you dislike#but don’t act like you’re doing something noble when your sensitivity is biased.#sylph.talks

You Know I’m a Minor Chapter 10
SERIES FINALE
ch01- ch02 - ch03- ch04- ch05- ch06- ch07 - ch08 - ch09 -ch10
Your attempts to get away from JJ were unsuccessful when your foot made an unbalanced step at the edge of the doc and you stumbled off the edge.
“Y/n!” JJ shouted. You felt his hands grip your waist in an attempt to pull you back, but your center of gravity was too far gone, and instead the both of you splashed into the water.
You gasped for air and JJ immediately sprung up beside you.
At first he wanted to laugh, but he didn’t.
You were snapped back to reality, and you saw JJ. His wet hair was almost in his eyes, but he just looked concerned.
You frowned and watched him as he swam to the latter and climbed out of the water.
You followed him and accepted his hand to help you up.
“You know I’m JJ now, right?” JJ asked.
In times of trauma, your mind could play tricks on you. You truly had seen Rafe. You felt him touching you in places you didn’t want him to.
“I..um..fuck,” you muttered, “I just saw...when you were...” you struggled to form an explanation, would JJ hate you now.
“What happened at midsummers? Becuase I know you were alone with Rafe, and now I know..that he did something,” JJ said. He didn’t want to admit it, but the thought of any guy messing with you, especially Rafe Cameron, made his blood boil.
“We weren’t alone,” you correct.
JJ furrows his eyebrows.
“His boys. They just watched,” you admitted, forcing yourself not to shiver in disgust.
“He fucking hit you? That mother fucker,” JJ assumed angerly. He started walking away, and you assumed it was to come at Rafe with revenge.
“No,” you said meekly, he was walking away, but he heard it.
“He didn’t hit me. He..uh..” your voice was shaking you knew once JJ knew he would never look at you the same.
“What, Y/n,” JJ demanded.
JJ read your expression, you were afraid, and that’s when JJ knew. Rafe plaid dirty. Rafe knew the best way to get at his girl was by taking her first.
“Y/n, did he,” he paused, “did he touch you? Like for sex-“
JJ stopped taking when you wrapped your shaking arms around his torso. His hands lay at your waist.
“I just- I keep reliving it. I’ve been through worse...like with my dad, but this? If my dad hadn’t come-“
“You don’t have to explain, Y/n. I’ll only kill Rafe if you want me to,”
—
You wanted to let go. Let go of everything. So when JJ pitched his idea, it was music to your ears.
“We should just dip, I mean really. Like Yucatán,” JJ suggested.
“Are you kidding?” John B asked.
“Nah man, I gotta get out of this place,” JJ said. You looked up at him from leaning on his shoulder. You were sitting with him against a tree, you could feel the soft fabric of his worn shirt on your cheek.
Your fingers danced along his wrist as you contemplated this idea, then you placed your hand in his and held his hand.
“I’m in,” you responded.
John B scoffed, “great guys. With what money?”
“We could surf all day, and live off of lobsters we catch with our bare hands,” JJ responded.
You felt a drop of rain, land on your leg. Another followed shortly after. JJ smudged it off your cheek and you smiled softly.
“I have to cover the Pogue,” John B says, heading to the boat and adding a cover so the rain doesn’t damage it.
JJ helped you up and you stood closer than expected.
“I should go home now,” you say.
Before you could turn around, JJ’s hand carressed your face and he leaned in. You could feel his breath fanning over your face.
It all happened so fast.
You wrapped your arms around JJ’s neck and your lips pressed together. Your eyes were closed and you missed looking into his ocean eyes. Your lips moved in just the right way. His soft and gentle kiss causing your blush to deepen.
When you pulled away, he smirked, “Just how you imagined it?”
You scoffed and laughed quietly, “not even close,” you replied, and then moved towards him for another kiss.
Moments later, John B announced that he was heading off to pick up some supplies for the boat.
You and JJ shared a look at the news and laughed as he lead you inside.
You both headed into a bedroom and jumped on the bed.
You and JJ continued to kiss. He pulled away to remove his shirt.
Then, the fact hit you, like a ton of bricks.
You looked down at the floor. Was he..? No. You can’t do this. JJ has slept with so many tourons and lost contact quickly after. You couldn’t loose him. You couldn’t let your father be right.
“Hey, what’s-what’s wrong?” JJ asks.
“Um..I just don’t know if...if I want to do this,” you admit.
“Y/n, if this is about-“ JJ began, he lifted up the hem of your shirt and saw the bruises again. They were healing, but still there.
“No, it’s just..my dad said that all you wanted was sex. And-“
JJ reacted quickly, “whoa. Hold up. That is not fucking true. And the fact that you believe that y/n?” JJ sounded offended.
Your heart rate picks up, “you-you hook up with girls, and then...” you couldn’t bring yourself to finish that sentence. Your throat was dry and you were struggling to breath.
“Y/n, you are definitely not just a hook up to me,” JJ paused and took a few deep breaths. You could tell his mind was struggling, “I...I love you,”
Your eyebrows furrowed, that wasn’t a phrase you’ve been called in a long time.
“When’s the last time you said that?” You said softly, a smile forming on your face.
“A long time,” he chuckled.
You got up and straddled him and he laid back. You leaned down so your head was on his chest.
You just stayed there for a moment, your ears hearing every beat of his heart.
“I love you too, JJ,”
—
“It’s too hot,” you groaned, flipping your leg out from under the covers.
“It’s not that bad,” JJ replied, wiping his forehead.
You studied him. And then, reluctantly, turned the other way and pulled off your shirt.
You weren’t wearing a bra, to JJ’s surprise. So he was blessed with the view, of your bare back.
You shuffled over and turned onto your stomach. Then looked up at JJ.
He smirks, “you’re gorgeous,” he smiled.
You smiled, and shushed him. Finally, sleep took over.
-
It was finally morning. JJ was a light sleeper, so the rooster woke him up around 6:00am.
His arm was draped across your stomach as he spooned your.
The thin sheet covered your bare chest. JJ felt comfortable against your bare skin. It was a level of intimacy he had been craving.
Suddenly, you stirred beside him. When you felt his hand on your bare skin, you panicked and jumped up.
You strapped your forearm across your chest to cover your boobs.
“Good morning,” JJ said.
“Oh, JJ. I’m not used to waking up with people. You scared me,”
“Sorry bub. What do you want to do today? I think we should take the pogue out alone. I want to show you this spot in the marsh. I think you’ll love it,”
You smiled, looking around for your shirt, “actually, JJ, I have to get some stuff done at home. But we should hang out Wednesday?”
“I can’t wait two days to see you! What’s so important at home?” JJ groaned.
“Just..certain errands. I’m sorry JJ. I promise to hang later?” You offered.
“You’re staying here for breakfast though,” JJ added.
He found your shirt and he helped you pull it over your head, still keeping your chest covered.
You noticed his hair was a complete mess, his blonde strands pointing in all different directions.
“Bed head,” you smirked as you shuffled his hair around.
He laughed, “I’m gonna get you back for that,”
“You gonna have to wait until Wednesday. I gotta head home,” you said, kissing him on the cheek, and getting out of bed.
JJ followed you to the door, but before you could open it wide enough to walk through, he slammed it shut.
“Wha-“
“No way in hell,” JJ said.
“Excuse me? We’ve been over this, JJ. They’re is nothing-“
“Your bruises are just starting to heal! I’m not going to let him make more,” JJ explained.
“What happened to ‘you’re not what he did to you’? Was that just bullshit!”
“It’s not about the bruises. It’s about you letting him hurt you,” JJ replies.
“He’s my dad! My fucking dad! The one person that’s suppose to love me no matter what. I know he does. I just make him mad sometimes. I’m gonna be better,”
“ No. No no no. This?” JJ paused and featured towards your injuries, “this is not your fault. You don’t understand, I’m trying to keep you safe,”
You rolled your eyes, but truly, you were fighting back tears, “so you’re saying that my dads just a shitty person? That I don’t deserve it?” your voice cracked.
“Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. I’ve learned that the hard way,”
“But...but he told me all the bad things. He told me I deserved it,”
“What did he say? That you’re a failure, a worthless piece of shit? What have you done with your life but smoke weed and live on the south side?” He was referring to himself, telling you what he’s been through.
“No one will ever love me.” you replied, “he’s the best I got,”
“Can’t you see me Y/n? I’m right here,” JJ answered.
“But it’s temporary! What if you give up?” You whimper.
“I’m not gonna give up on you Y/n. Not ever,” JJ assured.
After a few seconds of silence, you opened the door.
“I have to go home JJ,” you said quietly.
Did what JJ said mean nothing to you? JJ thought.
“I’m not letting you,” he said stubbornly.
“It’s not your choice,”
-
-
-
-intermission babes. go get some water, or a snack or smth 🦋
-
-
“I need you to help me out. And honestly, I don’t know anyone else better,” JJ began.
“I’m listening,”
“So. I know I can’t just throw accusations around like this. But right now. If one of your deputies come with me. I’ll have proof,”
“What exactly is the crime?” Peterkin asks.
“Domestic violence.”
-
JJ, Peterkin, and some random deputy, were at your house. A stakeout, if you will.
No one has said anything, and truly, JJ didn’t know if he could handle seeing you hurt. When he saw your dad choking you at midsummers, he nearly lost it, and earned a black eye from your father.
A few minutes later, you arrived. You had stopped at the Wreak to pick up your paycheck after waking up with JJ.
You entered through the front door, and slammed it a little too hard.
“Look who...decided to show up,” your father slurred, his voice raspy from just waking up.
“Hi dad,” you greeted, there was evident fear in your voice, or at least that’s what JJ heard.
“Why don’t you come over here? I can’t see you,” he asked.
You stepped closer to him, hesitantly.
“Where were you last night?” He asked. Your father was quite controlling, that was the difference between you and JJ.
“Working, again,” you replied, attempting to dodge him.
He laughed satanicaly, “see that’s funny. Because I went to the Wreck, and they said, you don’t work on sundays, ain’t that funny?” he said sarcastically. 
“Well, I-“
“You’re playing hookie. And you know what happeneds to naughty girls,”
“Dad, please,” you tried. But when he backed you against the wall. You flinched as he threw a punch at your ribs.
“Just,” he paused to punch again, “obedience, dear,” he continued to hit you, adding kicks too.
From outside, near the window, JJ and Peterkin had a clear view of everything, JJs eyes darkened in anger.
He couldn’t do anything to help, he stared at Peterkin and the deputy to see if they had a plan.
“Are you gonna do something?” JJ asked angerly.
“Be patient,” The deputy said.
JJ grabbed the deputy by the collar and forced him against the house, “he’s fucking beating her!”
“Stay calm, boy,” Peterkin ordered, “the longer he admits to doing it, or we have proof, the higher the charge,”
JJ put his head in his hands. He couldn’t let you suffer any longer.
So, he lead Peterkin to the front door and the deputy protected the back.
Peterkin told JJ to wait in the SUV so he wouldn’t get the blame, but JJ wanted to be here, helping as much as possible.
Peterkin brought her fist up to nock. She nocked twice and the noise inside haulted.
JJ stepped back when the door swung open.
He felt some fear of his own, but he pushed it down for your sake.
Your father presented a tough exterior, even though he seemed to notice a negative fate when a cop was on the other end of the door.
“Officer. What can I do for you?” He asked.
Peterkin took in a deep breath.
“May I have a look inside sir?” Perkin asked.
Your father nodded, allowing Peterkin to step inside. JJ waited until they were further inside to join.
When they entered, you were nowhere to be found.
There was some blood on the ground, and some broken glass. But no sign of you.
///
“Who are you?” You asked the man in uniform outside your door. You had decided to head out the back.
“I’m deputy Thomas,” he introduced.
“Oh. Well nice to meet you. But I have to get doing,” you muttered before trying to get around him and run in the other direction.
“Actually miss, I can’t let you leave. You are going to have to stay here,”
“Make me,” you stated and attempted to run past him.
It was a good attempt, until he caught your shoulders and grabbed you securely. He pulled you closer to him and hand cuffed your hands together.
“Hey! I didn’t do anything you prick!” You shouted, squirming and struggling against him.
Not gonna lie, it was painful after the shots you had taken.
\\\
JJ stood humbly back, away from the gaze of your father.
“Sorry about..the mess,” your father began, “my daughter and I had a little argument earlier. No harm done, I just don’t believe in her fuckin’ every boy in town. Poor thing has gotten hooked on some bad drugs, I can’t seem to control her. It’s hard to admit, as a father,” Your dad said.
It was a lie. A complete lie.
JJ hoped Peterkin would see that.
“And do you know exactly who is supplying her?” Peterkin asked.
“Some kid livin on the Cut,” your father shrugged.
JJ hated the familiarity of the house, there were beer bottles in every corner, and dishes piled up in the sink.
Suddenly, Peterkin picked up a dispatch on her walkee.
Static, “Peterkin. I’ve got the girl out her. Cuffed her because she’s trying to get away. She’s got major injuries, call it in. Over,” deputy Thomas says.
“Let me go!” You screamed, you scratched against his arms and punched his chest. But he was unfazed.
Peterkin muttered the law and rights as she pronounced your father under arrest. She cuffed him, and lead him to the car. Locking him in.
Then she retreated to the back of the house. They needed you to come into the station, take photos of your injuries, for evidence.
You knew how it would go. And you didn’t want any part of it.
You continued to struggle and squirm, insulting the officer in every which way.
But when Peterkin and JJ turned the corner. He let go, and run ran into JJ’s arms.
“It’s gonna be okay Y/n. I set this up. You’re free now,”
“You idiot! There are legal things I have to do now. I’m going to go into foster care, I have to get stripped naked and photographed for evidence! Do you have any idea what you did JJ?” You cried.
JJ hung his head low, “he can’t hurt you anymore Y/n. It’s okay. Calm down. Just let me hold you,”
“JJ...oh my god. I can’t do this...” your tears streamed onto JJ’s shirt.
“I’ll go easy on ya darling,” Peterkin says, “less questioning, and I’ll deal with your foster care situation. See if I can loop you in with John B,”
“Your boy did the right thing,” she said as she unlocked your hand cuffs.
You stared at JJ, he looked like he was about to cry.
“My boy,” you said softly. He kissed you on the forehead and you hugged him close.
“You can’t just make foster care disappear Cheif. You know she’s a minor, right?” Deputy Thomas asked.
Peterkin just shushed him, and told him to drive your father to the station.
Peterkin was the cheif of Damn police. She’d get them off your back.

Here's a lil input on the discussion about Reki.
I do get what you're saying about "got it" being more of a consideration than a promise(tho i perceived it as more of a promise at first), i don't think that actually matters because the reason behind Reki's behavior isn't Langa breaking his promise(and nor it is him being jealous of Langa's abilities). All of that stems from him losing his sense of self-worth. He was aware of Langa's potential before, and was absolutely ecstatic about it. Also i think he would've been pretty chill if Langa "broke" his promise to him if he wasn't doubting himself so much. Reki making Langa promise him not to skate against Adam is out of pure concern at first. Like, as much as it can be infuriating to the receiving party, if a person thought that doing X would make smb dear to them potentially harm themselves, they sure as hell would do anything to prevent that, even if it's smth that that smb wants. Later tho I believe Reki thought that Langa breaking his promise served as further proof of him not having any worth as a skater, and he's not angry at Langa but rather at himself(him yelling at langa not to apologize to him during their fight) for being so upset with Langa (and at this point wanting him to stick to that promise is sorta Reki's attempt at trying not to get left behind. He thinks that Langa deciding to skate against Adam means that he doesn't need Reki anymore).
As to him avoiding Langa at all cost and breaking his own promise to Miya of not disappearing on him, I also think that that kind of behavior is a given considering how he feels about himself. Interacting with a group of people(especially Langa) phenomenally good at what he himself loves so much but can't be as good at is straight up painful, so naturally he'd try to avoid them as much as possible. He does realize it's a shitty thing to do tho, based on how he ponders about what to say to Langa("how i acted so terribly against him") when he goes to meet him. Him not being able to apologize out loud is another thing lol. But i think Langa at that point already had an idea on what was going on with him, so Reki actually hearing all the truths from him that he himself had forgotten was much more important. That being said im actually pretty satisfied with their reunion :D I just really hope Reki apologizes to Miya later.
Anyway i hope this makes sense at least a bit, cuz Reki's character is written so well too imo. Him eventually breaking despite his happy-go-lucky personality and then finding himself again is GOOD stuff lol :D
So... I’m not opposed to justifying Reki being a jerk as long as you’re not opposed to justifying Adam being an asshole. -blink-
I’ve been trying to keep my content in line with the majority fandom (anti-Adam) argument that problematic behavior is problematic behavior regardless of the reason for it since I don’t want to deal with hater drama for my love of Adam, but that means I’ll look at all the characters with the same critical eye, which is why I can’t gloss over how problematic Shadow is either. But I’m not going to be hypocritical and apply one lens to characters I like and a different one to characters I dislike. (Or at least, as much as I can, I try not to, though I obviously have my own preferences and biases.)
So if we’re gonna talk on the premise that people’s backstories/traumas/mental states are valid reasons for the way that they act, then yes, Reki’s actions are understandable (if extremely obnoxious, to me, because again, I don’t generally like child/teen characters).
Reki obviously loves skating, and from the start, he has an inflated sense of ego, such as when he’s bragging to Langa about how he learned how to do an ollie faster than average. So it’s all the more crushing when he sees how fast Langa picks up skateboarding and when he completely loses against Adam, who didn’t even take him seriously. He legitimately thought that he was a “good” skater, but after Adam shows up, in addition to the appearance of Cherry and Joe, as well as a parade of others including Miya, Shadow, etc., his confidence is entirely shattered. Yeah, he’s probably a bit better than the average skater, but he’s clearly not at the level of the top skaters: Adam doesn’t even remember who he is because he’s so unremarkable. xD
And like any angsty teen who can’t deal with the reality that he’s not special, he lashes out at others and blames them for his failings. And that’s why he ends up being such a jerkass towards Langa and Miya. He is entirely selfish, not caring about what Langa wants, just to try to keep up his feeling of self-importance that’s crashing around him. He’s afraid of losing his new friend: not to injury (though that was part of it, when he first tried to persuade Langa not to race against Adam), but to more skilled competitors, and of being left behind, as you said. In school, at least, it doesn’t seem like there’s anyone else who is really interested in skating, so Langa’s the only one he can really talk to, share videos with, etc. But when he feels that Langa is slipping away and striving for a higher level, he gets jealous and tries to issue an ultimatum “me or Adam” and also tries to guilt-trip/gaslight Langa by accusing him of breaking a promise he never made (imo). And that has the exact opposite effect of driving a wedge between them. Again, highly obnoxious and toxic, but understandable.
And no, he’s definitely jealous that Langa and Miya are better than him. The whole reason he has his whole angsty “go hang out with your cooler friends” thing is because he’s not a top skater, even though he wants to be. And he struggles to accept that he’ll never be at that level, especially when he really did think he was special, so instead of confronting the problem, he chose to run away from it, no matter how much it hurt other people. It’s also not an uncommon reaction for people in general, to avoid things that make them uncomfortable.
But even though I understand all of this, I still don’t like him as a character. I don’t hate him as much as I did pre-episode 10, but he’s still not “likeable” to me because the way the situation was resolved was so superficial. I agree that he probably has the second-most characterization/development after Adam, and I am glad that he’s made up with Langa (and will probably make up with Miya), but he’s just such an... ordinary character. A typical, obnoxious teen who needed a smack in the face with reality more than Cherry. xD
Adam is a far more terrible person, yes, but I enjoy him because he’s entirely open about who he is and owns his actions. He doesn’t apologize for the things that he does--in part because he has no moral compass, at least currently--but also because he is absolutely truthful with himself and with others, at least when it comes to skating.

I’m replying to everyone who’s sent me a message regarding the being nicer thing from yesterday under the cut because I don’t want to be annoying by publishing so many asks. thank you, all of you ♥
Honestly, I think it’s ridiculous that people are accusing you of sounding mean/rude etc. sometimes I think you’re still too nice to the rude anons and I feel like a lot of this is passive aggressive on their part. They come at you because they think you’re an ‘insider’ fan and they’re jealous, and if you come back defensively, then they accuse you of being rude blah blah blah. If these people are making your experience on tumblr a negative one then just ignore those asks and enjoy yourself bb!
Hmm idk I mean it wouldn’t cross my mind to go after someone because they know some things I don’t? So they probably have a point somewhere in telling me I should be kinder, I know I can be short when I answers asks because I get so many and sometimes the same ones every other day so it gets a bit tiring...
hello! for sounding "nicer" i know when it comes to like texting friends and stuff. i always over use emojis and 'lol' bc i think when you don't it makes people (including myself) read it in a kind of boring/unimpressed tone in my head. LIKE HOW CAPS MAKES ME YELL IN MY HEAD LOL. (disclaimer: i'm a recent follower and find you nothing but nice. and you definitely don't owe any of us to go out of your way to type differently so you come across as 'nicer'. your english is fantastic!)
if I ever use lol then it’s because I find the thing extremely not funny and it’s ironic ahah I try to use emoji but when on my computer I can’t really be bothered... Thank you very much for your message!
I don’t think you’re rude, I think sometimes you get defensive because you’ve been getting the same questions over and over again and you must get tired. And you’ve talked about having insomnia so you must also be physically tired on top of mentally. That’s normal, we’re all humans. Don’t worry about it.
Yeah it’s true, I do get defensive when I’m more tired. Sometimes when I need to vent, I read my inbox outloud to a friend - the asks I don’t publish I mean - and it helps but sometimes I don’t have anyone next to me to do that with so I get cranky when I see people prying into the cast’s lives, asking personal questions, things like that. It’s hard to ignore when you read the same disturbing things every couple of days. Thank you ♥
You're not annoying at all, on the contrary, you're the sweetest! It's just that I think people are frustrated that you know so much without sharing, and maybe also the fact that you continue to think you're a normal fan, even though you're clearly "in". I don't know, I'm trying to understand... I think it might be jealousy as well.
The thing is, I can’t say for now how I’ve come to know some stuff because it would spoil way too much and I don’t know if I’ll even be able to ever. I’m not really “in”, that’s the thing. I am a normal fan, as normal as a fan who’s lucky enough to live in Paris and who could go to a lot of events - and that’s a couple hundreds of us. I don’t know how much the international fandom is aware of that but David and Niels and the cast know hundreds of us by name just because we were lucky enough to meet them several times. I’m not really more “in” than those other people. Some from the cast have not a clue who I am at all and others only know my @ on instagram because I send them the pics. I’m a bit closer to some for reasons I can’t talk about. The team got a lot of complaints about everything always happening in Paris and some fans ending up being more priviledged than others. I’m hoping there will be more events outside of Paris, maybe screenings or something in the future so it doesn’t feel as ~Parisian elite~ as last year.
I think you’ve always been receptive when people came to you with a different opinion and from what I saw, you’re always willing to learn. Some people are just too entitled and come barging in and that’s when you raise you hackles. It’s not really on you, it’s hard to be kind to everyone when people don’t always deserve it.
Hmmm yeah, my friends have told me I have strong opinions and don’t change my mind easily so... idk. I could maybe be more receptive, like you said, at times. I went from getting one ask every six months to dozens a day in a few weeks last year and it still blows my mind. I wasn’t ready for that. There must be people who disagree with me in my followers. Idk. Something I need to think about. Thanks ♥
bonsoir tumblr grandma! 💫 in my humble opinion, you do not come off as rude. I just think sometimes people tend to read what they wanna read and make the worst out of it. Plus, the whole Even season is a really touchy subject because everyone would love one and when such announcements of possibles seasons happen, they can't help but be hopeful. So of course they don't like it when they're told it's not gonna happen. You're not rude, you're just saying things they don't want to hear. 🤷♀️ ily!
I know how much people must be upset to see their hopes crushed, I was disappointed too back when I first heard about it, and my hopes were not that high to begin with since David had said before Eliott wasn’t considered as main. I get asks every week about Eliott being main, almost every gifset I make will have a tag about how whatever is clearly a reference to Eliott being main and I’m just like... let it go. Or talk about it on your own posts. I’m sad it’s not happening. Don’t rub it in my face, you know? I didn’t say anything for months and accepted it was the way it would be so I couldn’t complain but then Henrik mentioned it to someone at HOS2 and I thought that finally those asks and comments would stop but they don’t and it’s very tiring. Anyway, thank you as always!
I don't think you're rude and i don't know you irl it's just that some of your anons are creepy and acted so demanding like you owe us something and it pissed me off actually. Like those anon who asked something like you know this right? How you know abt this? Why you know the cast? It sounds so suspicious that you know them etc. these anons are so nosy like why so negative. Istg i thought they would interrogate you yesterday after you mentioned abt working with assa before skamfr.
I’m gonna say something I haven’t really shared in details before but it’s weighting on me. Some anons are really creepy, so I don’t publish them. For exemple, somebody found my spotify recently and through it found my old Facebook. My friends have sent me screenshots of people following them on their instagram after being tagged in my stories and they are always Skam stans, even when my friends have never posted about anything Skam related. Someone once went digging into my personal life so far that they could have ruined the theme of season 5 in september if they had decided to make what they had found public instead of sending me an ask about it. That shit is not okay. I blew up about this once last year and somebody told me “why do you make it sounds like we’re creepy fans of yours” and well, because some stuff IS creepy. I understand being curious but I will never share anything about the personal lives of the cast or anything that could spoil the seasons so I’d just like it if people stopped asking, you know? Thank you for reaching out ♥
gaëlle you never even once came off as rude (i started following you in february-march when s3 was airing). you're always helpful and patient. it's obvious when ppl go to cons/projos/meet the cast they might unintentionally find out smth that's not public knowledge. and it's a good thing actually that you don't immediately run here to share bc maybe a cast member didn't mean to reveal smth etc. in any case you don't owe us any information and those who demand answers are the rude ones
Thank you, love. yeah I’ve lost counts of how many times they’ve accidentally spoiled something at cons or screenings or in the background of ig stories, especially in the beginning. They are more careful now and some even let slip fake spoilers to see if it will spread (and by some I mean Axel after his play when he stays to talk to fans lmao). The fans who’ve learned stuff that way are usually super protective of the show though so nothing really spreads and that’s really nice to see - sorry Axel, joke’s on you ahah
Hi Gaëlle! Just want to say that I followed you because you always sound soooo sweet and sincere when answering asks. Never thought you're rude, even sometimes I thought you could be ruder because the ask was rude😂 Anyway, just thought let you know my opinion on the last ask, have a good day!🥰
Thank you darling. I’m sure I must have been rude at some point, I don’t think the anon from yesterday would have said that out of the blue, and I’m very sorry that I don’t realize it. Unless when people are REALLY rude then I allow myself to tell them to fuck off dfghjk
You don’t know me but I saw you a lot at HOS2, I recognized you from your instagram. Every time I saw you, you were cuddling people, laughing, singing - I heard you sing with your friends and Maxence joining in, it was adorable! The cheers the cast let out when they saw you come up for the group pictures weren’t fake. You have an aura around you that brightens the room. I really hope this isn’t too weird of me to say. I don’t think you could ever be unkind. You wouldn’t have so many friends otherwise - I mean, it looked like you do - and the cast wouldn’t have reacted like that upon seeing you. That alone convinced me you were a good person.
Oh my god I don’t know what to say. This is very unexpected, why didn’t you come say hi if you knew who I was? I wouldn’t have minded at all! Thank you, I don’t know what to say, really this is so kind. Have a lovely day. Thank you. thank you.
You're one of the nicest people I know, you're a literal bundle of love and sunshine (I'm not even kidding, really). And you're always so considerate about everybody when you're responding to asks that are asked NICELY... so really I don't know how you can come across as rude. And you deserve all the love 💕
Merci @littlhedgehog love you so so much and I’m so happy Skam brought us together. It’s been way too long since I gave you a hug ♥♥♥
and at 3 parts anon with advice who told me not to publish, thank you too, I’ll remember everything you said ♥
#gaelle parle#im so damn overwhelmed by all this#every time i want to quit you're there being so kind and i don't know what to do with myself#nice people tag
