#i'm being accused of trying to steal people's money? that's when you KNOW it's time to go touch some grass

me looking at my own blog: god i wish this bitch would stfu

[imnotlostimlooking]

I hate the Eddie story line that's happening. Like I hate that they are putting him through all this bullshit over a mistake that he made because of years of trauma. And i hate reading stories where people make it out like he was cheating on Marisol. Maybe he wasn't great for sneaking around with another woman but if you really look at it? Nothing remotely romantic or sexual was going on. Eddie saw this woman who was a clone of his dead wife and latched onto her because of this, as if she could somehow solve all the answers he'd never gotten even tho he logically knew she couldn't. They spent a lot of time together and maybe some of the things they did seemed romantic but he was always detached with her.

Its never said in the show but this man was raised (using the term loosely) by a Mexican father in an extremely catholic household and so I'm betting all my money on the fact that when his girlfriend got pregnant at 19 it wasn't HIS choice to get married. Even if he was the one to suggest it, it would have been because it was 'the right thing to do'. He was a baby. Having a baby.

He joined the army and came back with ptsd up the whazoo to parents who were raising his child like he was their own, giving him the love they'd never given Eddie, and a wife who resented him. His wife left him with a child he didn't know how to care for and parents who wanted to take Christopher away from him because he worked 3 jobs to get on his feet.

This man moved to LA and yeah he found the 118 and a family but his life revolved around work and Christopher and 'finding him a mother' which he canonically said. It never even seemed as though he wanted to be dating when he was with those women, more perfunctory than anything, even tho he didn't realize it.

And then he meets this woman who looks just like his dead wife who left him and came back and divorced him and died and she storms his fucking castle in cosplay and forces him to open up when he's clearly uncomfortable with it and his child walks in.

And yeah, it's fucking terrible. Like the worst. Oh my god poor Christopher seeing that. Poor Marisol thinking he's been cheating on her this whole time. But also. Poor fucking Eddie. Poor fucking Eddie because he didn't ask that fucking woman to show up at his goddamn house. He didn't ask her to dress like his dead fuxking wife and try and fix all his trauma. Yeah what he did wasn't right, but he cut shit off and that should have been that. He didn't ask to be fixed and he certainly didn't ask for whatever the hell rhat was.

And then his child calls his grandparents to come get him which is fair cause he's a child right? Kids do things like that. But they come and take him without even a call to Eddie. Their son. Who they are supposed to love and cherish. They don't ask what happened. They don't ask if he's okay. They just place blame and steal his child and Eddie let's them because Eddie has trauma and he 'knows' he's never been good enough for his kid and this is just the nail in the coffin so he should let him go right? And they fuxking take him.

But now? Like moving to Texas? Go get your fucking child and bring him home. He's a child. He does not make the fucking decisions. It should not even have lasted that long that he was in el Paso in the first place. Why is no one telling him that he's the fucking parent in this situation. Why is no one telling him rhat he's good enough. That he's an amazing father. That his parents are manipulating his trauma. That yeah maybe he fucked up but he didn't do anything actually WRONG.

And im reading all this fics where he is groveling and saying or being accused of cheating and im like wtf. Disgusting. I hate it. Let him be fucking A+ parent dad Eddie again cause I'm tired of this shit. Go to his parents house. Tell them to fuxk all the way off. Tell your kid to pack his shit he can be mad in LA in therapy.

EDIT: This post was made about the first wave of basic barebone copy-and-paste scams.

I’m disabling reblogs because this information is now outdated when it comes to identifying vetted fundraisers, and I don’t want to scare people into not supporting real campaigns

If someone sends you an ask asking for help in Gaza, look for vetting done by a real person (do NOT trust ones that simply claim they are vetted if you don’t SEE the vetting), and check that their gofundme address isn’t clearly publicly listed in some other place. Then reblog their post. And block writing-prompt-s or anyone else that runs actual genocide survivors off the platform with poorly researched scam accusations

original post:

so apparently the tumblr donation scam farms are moving in on Palestine; this includes both slapping basic phrases like "Free Palestine" into their blog headers, but also some of them go so far as to claim they are Palestinian refugees who need donations.

Here is your routine reminder that whenever you receive an ask in your inbox requesting donations, check their ass. 19 times out of 20 it'll be a brand new blog who reblogged a few posts to seem older than they are, is sending out spam asks to random blogs, and will be deleted in a few days once they've already scammed people.

Check their blog's age by trying to scroll to the bottom and checking the post timestamps. Turn on post timestamps by going to Settings > General Settings > Dashboard Preferences. On any device, you can also see when a post was made by clicking on the 3 dots at the top right of it. Scam blogs reblog an amount of posts to try to seem like they aren't brand new and pretend to have older accounts, and it’s very successful against people who don’t scroll down enough.

Check the location and area code of a PayPal link where/if it says something like country.x=xx. The xx will be a country code. Most tumblr donation scams are for some reason in the Philippines and will have the code PH. No I am not saying to distrust anyone in the Philippines who needs donations, but if a brand new blog is claiming to be a refugee in the Middle East but their PayPal link is from halfway across the world, then well...

Reverse-image search any of the images they use and find if it was stolen somewhere. Remember that these images are often edited to prevent people from easily doing this, and this is not reliable but can be an easy sign if successful

Be careful with blogs that request people send donations through "Friends and Family" on PayPal because you cannot refund money sent in this manner. This isn’t a dealbreaker as many regular users also request this to avoid fines, but is an addendum to scam blogs when enough other red flags are raised. It isn’t unusual for them to insist on receiving money through FaF to the point that some will refund money not sent through that manner to prevent accountability

Follow scam busting blogs like Kyra45 that might pull up evidence you otherwise would not have access to. I guess I'm going to start bringing back my habit of recording the exact paypal addresses that scam blogs use which has sometimes been the only evidence of a new donation blog being a scam, and no one would know this if I hadn't been tracking them

It is disgusting that people would take advantage of an ongoing genocide for their own gain. Please remember to keep an eye out for yourself and the people you follow reblogging suspicious donation posts trying to steal aid from people undergoing a tragedy

Mike Tree's Adventures in Nutopia #3: John Lennon Aspiring Boy Bestie Syndrome

The final part in the Mike Tree interview write-up! This final bit is about his relationship with the man, the myth, the face that launched a thousand one-sided best friendships: John Ono-Lennon. His relationship with John is very typical of John as in people adore/worship him but he can be an utter terror.

Mike doesen't try and pry John with questions, which makes John curious and so starts talking to Mike and developing a friendship. Yoko wants Mike to not talk to John as much as it's 'bothering' John but Mike scoffs at that as John was focused on him not vice-versa. I respect Mike as he doesen't pretend to have magic memory about those convos and freely admits he can't remember much of the discussion save a rare instance of John talking about Uncle George. Whether it was bothering John, with the later stuff in mind I don't think he was but I can understand why Yoko was concerned about that.

John has a little device thing to keep time that he called his Ringo robot <3

John gets so excited about the idea of his fig tree producing figs it's so cute.

John believes that Mike was destined to be a musical genius due to some astrological stuff and gives him his banjo. Years after his death Mike tries to sell it to Yoko who accuses him of stealing it in the first place. Classic.

A buddhist monk points out to him years later that John probably wanted him to play the Banjo with him :((( That's so sad if he's right.

Mike was tasked by Yoko with bringing drugs and money to John in Bermuda. He refused to do this. I wonder what drugs these were as Mike states he only smelled weed but this incident and the wasted recording suggests more than that. I've talked about the money thing elsewhere.

As with any friendship with John it wasn't smooth sailing. Whilst in Bermuda they really get into it once John has something to drink and John attacks him by bringing up his vulnerabilities and then recommends primal therapy?? W H A T.

Mike tries primal therapy but finds it too intense, ngl it sounds weird af so good on Mike. Apparently it does improve his posture though.

He was with John when John found the sign saying 'Double Fantasy'. Mike believes the name has a connotation for a sexual fantasy for John. Whether that's accurate or not it suggests that Mike did know or suspect things about John's sexual proclivities. What fantasy it would be referring to is anyone's guess.

John's really excited about the album in Bermuda and Mike talks about a moment where John is playing, Sean is dancing and his nanny Helen is beaming. It's a beautiful moment.

He had a strange feeling the day John died. John comes to him with a new haircut saying something along the lines of his new haircut being a throwback to his old one and how hes 'right back to where he started'. Mike thinks that this is John's awareness of his own upcoming death, it more reads to me of John's seeming 'embrace of the past and desire to reclaim it' thing going on in 80. It was a look to the future, not to the end :(.

When John dies Mike has to sort through John's bloodied clothes in a bag to get the glasses for the exhibition. Instead of horrifying he finds it cathartic. I'm pleased he found peace in that moment but god I think I would have been sick.

I think that pretty much covers everything? I will be posting additional quotes from the interview. I hope one day that Jawbone press will stop holding the book to ransom as the passage he read out was evocative and his perspective at least attempts to be measured and fair. You certainly have one willing customer Mike!

Do you feel the author will make Sakura's past the last storyline before the ending?

Oooh, hmm! You know, I never considered thinking of it as potentially like. The last reveal of the story. I do think it is really cool that Nii Satoru moves the story along without giving us too much information about the main character's background/family prior to coming to Makochi. I think if we do get the majority of Sakura's backstory all in one go at some point, if would be him opening up to his classmates and telling him about himself and his life before joining Furin. That said, I don't really think I see that as the point the story would leave off on. I think it's more likely the story would leave off on a chapter where Sakura is close to growing into his potential- being a good leader for Furin, having the confidence in himself, and he himself feeling good about looking towards the future and being someone who will protect Makochi. Where we just wrapped up the Noroshi War Arc somewhat recently in the manga, Sakura still genuinely considered offering himself up and leaving Furin if that meant protecting everyone else. The others too saw this part of him and voiced concerns about Sakura now being too self-sacrificing in order to protect the rest of them. He is still struggling with that 'This is exactly where I belong and deserve to be' self-worth bit on top of doing whatever he can to protect as many people in Makochi/Furin as possible.

What I do think may be a big possibility of how we will get Sakura's backstory is actually exactly how we have been getting it in the story so far! I think it may be presented to us not as a group of chapters like the other side characters, but through small panels here and there that give us a little more information about Sakura as the story progresses. We get a little bit about him not liking sunglasses and hats because he's always had to cover up things about himself before, he's had people accuse him of acts he never did (like stealing from a wallet he was trying to return), how he just has to accept that 'life is hard'. In the recent chapters with Kiryuu's backstory we get that the family members or foster family he was living with made him live in a shed behind the house. I think it's very likely that we might see this pattern continue- learning about Sakura's backstory little by little as he gets to know the things his classmates have had to go through and relating to some small part of them as well.

If we do get a Sakura backstory related arc/chapters, I really like the idea of it being a part of his backstory coming up to affect current events. Like I've seen someone mention (I looked for the post just now, I'm so mad I suddenly can't find it to link it here) but that it may be the case that he's getting money from some sort of child services organization but that only goes until the end of march when they are 15, so that might end up becoming relevant to the story? Right before Sakura's birthday, him suddenly finding himself unable to continue paying for that run down apartment he's living at all alone. The conflict needing to be resolved being deeply connected to his life before Makoshi but still primarily taking place in the present time.

However, I think that's more of a personal hope, but I have no idea if it has a chance of being touched upon in the story itself. What I do think has a higher chance of being the case is us continuing to get a little bit of his backstory at a time as it relates to what Sakura learns about of his other classmates' situations and in turn them learning more about him little by little. Another person hope of mine is we might get a little more from Sakura about his past directly said if he thinks it will help Suo open up about his past. I see Sakura as someone who is able to recognize you need to walk the walk if you're going to tell someone to let others in more. Where Suo is just as happy to say "You should take it one small step at a time and gradually let others in" While then not saying a single personal thing about himself, I think Sakura is likely to actually take that step himself, especially if he thinks doing so will help Suo in some way.

It's fun to think about though!

It was evening at the studio and Angel was finally getting ready to leave. It took him a while to get changed, because today was... rough. He flinched in pain a bit as he walked.

At one of the tables, there was a phone. He walked up to it and looked at the Voxtech logo at the back of it. The employees were usually careful with their stuff, so it had to be someone else's. It didn't have a red case like Valentino's, so it was... Vox.

The spider let out a sigh as he looked at the phone and turned it around in his hands. On one hand, he would get some sick satisfaction knowing that Vox had lost his phone, but on the other hand, some poor employee would probably get accused of stealing it.

He really didn't want to do what he was about to do, but he should just get through it. Vox isn't that bad. All that was left was to hope that Valentino wouldn't be there with him.

He quietly made his way towards the TV demon's office. It was pretty late, but the Vees usually were here even at this time.

Angel took a deep breath and raised his hand, but suddenly there was... yelling at the other side of the door. It was definitely Valentino's voice. Angel flinched and stepped back.

This was not a good idea. The sound of glass breaking could be heard and that's what finally made Angel turn around.

No. He's not doing this. He'll sell the phone and get some cash, Vox has enough money to get a new one.

He was just about to take a step, when the door burst open and Valentino made his way out. Angel froze, but the moth was too enraged with whatever happened inside to notice him and just angrily stomped away, leaving a cloud of pink smoke behind him.

There was a pained groan heard from the inside.

"Damn it..." he heard Vox's voice from the inside as he was clearly in pain.

Angel cautiously took a step inside, walking through the bridge. The monitors were showing different parts of Pentagram city, but... the one TV monitor who was usually watching all of them was missing.

Vox was sitting on the ground, holding his screen, while small pieces of glass were scattered in front of him.

"Vox? I... uh... I brought your phone. You... left it at the studio." Angel tried to sound nonchalant, as if he didn't even notice that the powerful figure was sitting in front of him with a broken screen.

"Just put it somewhere." Vox's voice was a mixture of irritation and pain as he attempted to stand up, using only one hand, while the other one was holding his screen.

Angel put the phone on the desk behind Vox, being careful not to step on the pieces of glass. They were... parts of his body. It was weird and kind of scary.

"Is there... anything I can do to help?"

Vox let out a scoff and gestured under the desk where a bandage was layed.

Angel understood and grabbed the bandage, kneeling down in front of him. He carefully started to wrap the bandage around his TV shaped head. Vox ended up hissing in pain and Angel quickly spoke "Sorry, sorry. I'm trying to be careful."

He got gentler in wrapping him up, almost feeling... bad. He had no idea that Valentino hurt him too. And it truly sucked. He knew better than anyone.

"Does this... happen often?" He asked carefully, not really wanting to pry, but he was curious.

"Just shut up and do what I told you." Vox said, his voice full of irritation.

Angel got quiet as he kept bandaging him up. It was weird seeing Vox of all people like this. So damn broken. Literally.

He finished the bandaging and stood up, looking at him. The cracks on his screen started to slowly fuse together as he started to regenerate. It was a good sign, but Vox was still obviously in pain.

"So... uh... how do you feel? Does the bandage make it better?"

Vox nodded "Thank you."

"No need. It's not like I had a choice in the matter." Angel attempted a... pretty dark joke, but it got only an eye roll out of Vox.

"No one forced you to come here and ask if I needed help."

Angel stayed silent as he stood up, still observing him. He crossed both pairs of his arms "You know... I always thought the screen was like your hat or something. I didn't realize it was... a part of your body that you actually felt." He attempted another joke.

"I'm not in the mood for your bullshit, Angel." Vox snapped back and Angel let out a sigh.

"Fine then. I should... uh... can I go now?" he knew it was weird to ask Vox for permission, but he was still Valentino's best friend. Or possibly even boyfriend. He had to have some respect for him.

"Go to your room and go to sleep, Angel. I see how damn tired you are."

Angel was taken aback, not only by his words, but also the tone of his voice. Sure, he sounded irritated, but there was a hint of caring in his voice. The spider ended up stunned and all he could manage was a nod as he left.

Some moments replayed in his head. How Vox would flinch every time Valentino touched him. He shrugged it off as him being surprised, but now he knew. And it was a painful thought...

[atthebell]

i think the weirdest thing to me about all the mr beast stuff is i thought everyone was aware that he's a scammer and probably treats people in his videos very poorly? like i know that he donates a lot of money to some charities (which, first of all, is a tax write-off for him and also several of these charities are also owned and run by him-- not trying to accuse him of stealing charity money, just pointing out that it just makes him look better) but that does not equal good person or even net neutral. bill gates donates millions of dollars a year to charity, that doesn't make him a "good" rich person and that doesn't mean philanthropy magically makes up for making millions or, in the case of gates, billions of dollars off the backs of other people's labor.

but aside from the philanthropy angle being a stupid way to think about morals, it just seems weird to me that any of this is surprising to people. mr beast has spent years making clickbaity over the top flashy content for the sake of making money and gaining followers. he runs big grand competitions that often involve people humiliating themselves or spending a great deal of time doing ridiculous stunts for youtube's amusement for the chance to win some money (or get some clout). this whole deal has seemed scummy to me since i learned about it in like 2021. he's always pretty obviously been a kind of scummy content creator, regardless of how nice he seems or how cool his employees are (which, i find most of them boring anyway, but that's neither here nor there).

i'm also genuinely never surprised when it turns out some giant over the top piece of media, particularly some kind of reality content, involved a ton of exploitation and mistreatment. people not receiving medical care or food and water or adequate housing during shoots does not seem the least bit surprising to me, both because mr beast is not actually a professional in the entertainment industry (or at least doesn't have the infrastructure of one, as is the case for many youtubers/internet celebs who make it big) and because it's reality content. even professional reality television involves a huge amount of mistreatment and exploitation-- see criticisms of love island, ayto, survivor, any number of other reality tv shows.

i think i'm just baffled as to how this is shocking to anyone, and why people seemed convinced that mr beast the guy was a good person even if his content was lame/for shock and awe. like why did you think that??? do we have deeply different understandings of what it takes to make content like this???? i'm just confused

It's really crazy how much TG lives in their own fanfiction.

This person also refuses and seems to understand that it is misogynistic that Rhaenyra ended up with a nickname equivalent to Maegor simply for arguing about taxes. Something that was advised to her by a man on her council, not even her idea. And what else could she do anyway ? There was no more money because the Greens took everything ! But obviously, it's all Rhaenyra's fault. Also, I find it hard to understand how the TG are good sovereigns when we see how they manage money ?

Also, the simple fact that she doesn't seem to accept and understand that Rhaenyra had more than half the kingdom on her side ? That the Greens weren't tied or had a majority ? She almost acts like everyone obviously wants to support them.

She advocates neutrality while she is openly TG, it annoys me.

Anyway, coming from a person who thinks that I can't read and don't know anything about the GRRM universe simply because I told a simple truth ; namely that women could not become Kingsguard. A truth according to her that is false because since Visenya created the Kingsguard, apparently that means that women can be too ? Sorry, but how can we seriously support such a stupid thing ? It's not because Visenya created the Kingsguard that women can become one! In the era of ASOIAF / GOT a woman can't even be a knight ! So Kingsguard in the time of Rhaenyra ?! Make me laugh !

She's also exactly the kind of person who will try to explain to you that Rhaenyra can't be the legitimate heir because apparently there is no legitimate heir under the pretext that the law is vague. Stupid, the only real law that matters is the word of the king. It kills me that they are trying so hard to deny it ?!

I'm not going to talk about our least favorite troll, so I won't refer to her statement, but rather the general attitude among TGs.

Alicent's mistakes and crimes are explained by the fact that it was not her fault, but the evil men around her who coerced and manipulated her. She is a victim of evil men. Rhaenyra's mistakes and crimes are Rhaenyra's mistakes and crimes. The end.

This is what some people think.

This can be extended further to other TG characters: Did Helaena go crazy and commit suicide after her children died? Poor thing, it was completely explainable, the death of murdered children is a huge tragedy that will devastate everyone! Rhaenyra went crazy and paranoid after the death of her children? This is no explanation! You can't explain this to her, she's a terrible tyrant!

Rhaenyra's reign was not good, but there was much more to it than the fact that Rhaenyra "is evil, spoiled, narcissistic and generally yuck." People accuse her of not being a feminist because she didn't decree that from now on all daughters would inherit on an equal footing with sons… Do any of these people even know how emancipation developed in the real world? It didn't work that way. Rhaenyra was to be the first woman in power. It was the first step, and true emancipation often takes generations. In Poland we had Jadwiga of Anjou and guess what? She took the throne as a king, not a queen, so she could rule, and that didn't miraculously result in women being treated equally to men from then on. Rhaenyra listened to her advisors and therefore did not decree that daughters would inherit before sons or cousins, because she knew she could not make too many changes in one moment. She listened to the advisors, but it was still her fault. It's just as much her fault for stealing the Driftmark from Baela and Rhaena… even if Corlys preferred to legitimize his bastard and make him heir rather than give the inheritance to Laena's daughters! Rhaenyra is fully to blame for the riots and dragon slaying, even if the Shepherd was simply looking for a suitable excuse to overthrow the rich and lords. It wasn't even about Rhaenyra, and if Aegon had been on the throne then, there would have been riots anyway. The Shepherd would simply find another reason! For example, the fact that people were starving and Aegon built golden statues of war criminals…

She realizes that Rhaenyra was not a good queen, but that was due to the situation. War, lack of money, riots incited by the Shepherd, and on top of her own emotional problems that resulted from almost her entire family being killed. If someone doesn't see it, he or she is simply a TG pro, not a "neutral" person who, strangely enough, justifies only one side of the conflict.

PLL 1x13 Review - As Per Anon Request

Saying "Is someone there?" in your own house and not, "Mom? Dad? Spencer?" is weird.

I don't remember when Piper told her piece of shit husband she was seeing other people.

Ali hated old people. Rofl.

Alison lied more than she breathed. And you were in love with her? WHY.

"If lying was a crime, we would ALL be in jail." I mean, for aiding and abetting, so yeah, what you did was a crime, Emily.

How long does this receptionist have Spencer on hold?

"Well if the bank finds out about your unauthorized loan, that's, like, a felony, right?" "It's only a felony if they find out." She just said that. You wanted to emphasize the "if" or you wanted to say "Key word being 'if'." Anyway.

Like Spencer is STILL on hold.

A broken leg takes at least, like, two months to heal, Hannah is already cast-less? She didn't even move to a soft cast??

The timing of this is so bad because FBI Lady effectively has just been standing there watching them on their phone saying nothing just so she could say something when Hanna gets out of the car to join them. They could've had them do small talk in the background.

They think Christmas is A and they just ... don't confront him?

"We go to dinner and a movie just like you guys." Omg, this whole thing is so 2010s.

Christmas isn't the villain. I don't CARE.

"The thing about Aria is ... she's way into older guys." LOL but it should've been "she's into way older guys" to really dig it in.

Also, Ezra should be in prison.

So, a dude who was/is accused of murder comes back to school and it's just "killer" written on the locker and one dude saying "murderer"? It's not parents clamouring about having a murderer in the school with their kids? Parents pulling kids out of school? Protests?

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just feel like if A hits me with a car and then steals my mother's stolen money and then emotionally terrorizes me by making me eat cupcakes with pigs on it IN PUBLIC so I can get the stolen money back, then I'm hunting you down now.

It makes no sense to me that the jocks would make fun of her for eating cupcakes with pigs on it because for all they know, she bought them and ate them thinking they looked cute.

You know what, Emily's mom said that her being gay disgusts her and Emily brought Maya home to hang out in her room anyway. Kudos. Yes, she thought her mom wouldn't be home, but still though.

Aria and those stupid earrings.

So. Alison: leads Emily on and then makes her feel like a creep when she acts on the purposefully mixed signals. Encourages Hanna to be bulimic. Villainizes Spencer. Effectively ignores Aria. But it's omgggg she gave us friendship bracelets and made us feel SO special. Idk she sounds like satan.

So, none of them are questioning how A can be so elaborate with their psychological torture?

Maya wouldn't immediately notice that she forgot her bag?

Stop trying to make it seem like Ezra has the moral high ground with Christmas. It's NEVER going to happen.

I'm sorry, where are Toby's parents?"

"Are you and [Christmas] like friends now?" Aria to her brother is Elena to Jeremy about Damon is Serena to Eric about Chuck. All the placid, not-main-characters-upstaged-by-other-characters-on-the-show doing minimal effort with their brothers.

Mike. His name is Mike. I wanted to say Jake. There was a k in there.

Ezra started speaking and I looked at my phone.

"I love you" no you don't, Aria, you're just sixteen.

Nuclear. Nuclear. Nevermind.

"I didn't even get to say goodbye." "To who?" Exactly. WHO STARTS A SENTENCE THIS WAY. Because what should've happened for that to make sense is her getting off her phone, crying, hyperventilating and they're like Emily, what's wrong. "I-I didn't even" etc. etc.

Although I am glad they didn't try to do that because Shay can't even pull off speaking.

Nary a tear.

i'M DeVaStaTeD. I'm devastated watching this.

oh my god, who are you, seasons 4-6 Elena?

"Well, A tried to kill me." Seriously. I know Hanna has a magically healed leg, but are you forgetting that you saw your friend get hit by a car? Like she rolled onto the windshield and everything, ma'am.

"Only because she thought you saw her." LOL SO WHAT? That is NOT a response, Spencer.

LMAO Alison's hand dropping to the ground. Omg, this shouldn't be funny.

The endings are so abrupt.

Random thoughts about Sand/Ray (Only Friends ep 1)

Rewatched the first episode of Only Friends and I have a few (many) random thoughts, here are just the ones about Ray and Sand because they deserved a whole post (everyone else is in this other post) :

Ray mentions his dad in the first scene we ever see him in, getting mad at Sand who told him not to be a burden on other people and replying "are you my father ?"... Foreshadowing much ?

The first interaction between Ray and Sand ends with Sand telling Mew to take care of his friend, and you believe that's what Mew is doing but then next party he abandons him

Ray throwing up and his friends immediately letting him go and pushing him away is... funny in the context of the scene but again I think telling us something about how they're all going to treat him

(Sand/First opening and closing the intro is *chef's kiss*, he's not the main character clearly but as an outsider and a "morally straight" guy he's going to be a force to shake things up I'm sure)

Sand and Ray's second interaction immediately revolves around once again Ray being a burden but also Ray's friends not being present enough for him and Sand disapproves of both

Did Ray already drink and drive before this ? Did anyone stop him before?

Ray's throw up sound in this episode are truly awful and make me quite uncomfortable. Good acting though

Him immediately passing out on a random man's shoulder after being taken to this stranger's place does imply a worrying lack of survival instinct. Baby he could steal your livers ! or what's left of it

(The owner of YOLO bar is Yo, as reiterated many times by Ray and Sand, and given how often he's mentioned he must have a role in the story, but he's hasn't shown up yet ?) (Edit : didn't know Yo was played by Jennie so we have actually seen her around, just haven't gotten a proper scene with her, looking forward to really meeting her !)

Ray becoming aggressive and accusing Sand of stealing his stuff only after Sand says he didn't sleep with him and didn't even consider it seems to indicate that Ray truly thinks people can only take an interest in him for sex or for money. Arf this continues to get more sad

The fact that Ray actually checks his pockets when Sand gives him back his clothes is so indicative of what's actually important to him : not his safety or consent but his material possessions and external signs of wealth

Ray complaining to Mew that he got kicked out by Sand for no reasons is so rich, but again I think Ray truly doesn't realise how what he said was offensive because he's so closed in his own bubble

But Mew saying he thought Boston was taking care of Ray when he literally just asked Ray how he got home last night and knew that Boston refused to take care of Ray is so hypocritical ?! And goes to show he wasn't really bothered to make sure Ray had a way to go home safely. He assumed he'd be fine on his own and didn't care that much

Ray sad that his crush is talking to someone else and driving home alone in his fancy car in a tee shirt that says "Poor Boy" is High Comedy

Boston asking Ray why doesn't he just become Mew's boyfriend was such a dick move, but also Ray is so convincing at denying he would be ? Is it because he's so used to lying about this, or because he doesn't think he's worth Mew's affection so he doesn't even dream of being his boyfriend ?

Ray does have a habit of just exiting the situation for something that his friend all excuse as being one of his addictions (drinking, smoking) and they don't even try to stop him

Sand tells Ray he has his lighter because he got him drunk and stole from him with such confidence I don't care that he's joking he could be telling the truth and I'd find it hot

The moment Sand actually gets visibly angry is when Ray tells him that Sand caring is "boyfriend behaviors" and that's telling on how Sand is disgusted with the idea of being his boyfriend but also resents the fact that caring about being respected is something only boyfriends do... when in fact people who are only friends can too ! (see what I did there)

That dialogue between them does illustrate the power of not just saying sorry, but saying thank you. Which is an actual thing I try to apply in my own life so I thank the show for reminding me haha

the softness in the voice of Sand when he then says "obviously" and agrees to give his lighter to Ray made me melt

Ray's eyes during the whole scene are truly so seductive, Khao does know his fuck me eyes very well

There's no conclusion except to say Sand is going to get fucked by Ray in more ways than one and I'm looking forward to it

I was friends with Laura for about 6 months in 2021 after seeing the original post where she was living in a dilapidated shack with her young son. I'm Filipino too and have a lot of family who grew up poor, so I donated and reached out with support. We would talk pretty much every day via Facebook and Tumblr, and I thought we were genuinely getting to be quite good friends. I sent money and helped her move to a safer place to live (the apartment with blue walls you see in her videos now). I sent her care packages. I stood up for her and made/shared donation posts for her. She would occasionally send me photos of life in Davao City - initially just photos of the shop she was trying to set up, or photos of her with her family. We would talk about our lives and it was pretty innocuous to start with but over time, she would mention how hard life was in every conversation and how they needed money to 'fix the house'. I would send her money when I could, and order groceries to try and help out, but started to realise that she would deliberately send me photos of her son to guilt me when trying to get me to help financially. I realised the depth of her manipulation when she sent me a photo of her son in what was clearly the old shack they used to live in, pretending that they were no longer living in their current apartment. I know this, because I had the original photo of her son and was able to compare them. She went as far as to try and edit it to hide the fact that they were the same image. I confronted her and stopped being friends with her. I shared my experiences of her with another person on Tumblr who was similarly being manipulated. She BLEW UP and started harassing me and that other Tumblr user. She literally pulled the same thing she's doing now - yelling at me for talking about my experiences and accusing me of 'putting her in danger', all the while insisting that she just made 'one mistake' and had 'ONLY hurt me, nobody else'. It's been two years of this. She's continued to create fake accounts to scam donations out of people, she's continued to harass users who seek to warn others about her behaviour, she deliberately steals resources and attention from people who need help. She refuses to take responsibility for any of this. She hasn't changed, and I doubt she ever will.

Hi anon! Sorry it took a while to answer I’ve been at work and just now had some time to check my inbox.

I’m sorry she took advantage of your friendship like this and is still doing the same thing she did back then. This is a great addition to the growing amount of information I’ve got of people’s encounters/experiences with her.

GOBSHITE'S ADVENTURES - PART 3

(PART 1 & PART 2)

Sit down, your favorite story about dumb chump is about to continue.

8) La discussion civilisée se poursuit

After the long, tiring, useless and hollow debate from the 2 earlier parts, the same old claptrap wheels continued to grind by new response from chucklefuckle:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

✉️ CHUCKLEFUCK: I have yet to hear a Reason behind the decline, so far (REALLY?), all I hear is Excuses, and entertainment can go both ways, but to be fair, it’s probably in the Genes by now and I don’t mean Mine, so I highly suggest you take these conversations seriously instead of being either selfish, lazy or/and greedy. Why do you claim my project is free then when it is in fact a Collaboration? Again, the only type of persons who would say such a thing before even hearing my offer out are those who are selfish, lazy or/and greedy, TBH, I really wish you aren't one of them, the MLP Fandom is infested with too much already and so far, 1 in 200 or 300 are even close of being worthy of the title Brony, believe me when I said so, I've tried. Don’t think you’re the only one I confronted about this, and admittedly, most of the people in Fandom really are Criminals, they just follow the thought/trends of “Since there’s many people are doing it so it must be Legal” when it’s not, however, I do not believe that ALL the Fans of the franchise are bad people, Mostly Yes but not All, lastly, if the OC’s truly are Original, as in NOT “Inspired” by other Copyrighted Franchise then that’s okay, in terms of Laws and Legalization that is, now the only questions is the Intentions behind them.

Confirming you’re indeed not from the UK so that the Laws about Copyrights wouldn’t affect you aren’t Justified Reason enough? Don’t lump me in like the rest of them Fake Artist Wannabe, unlike them, I have been a good Law Abiding Citizen, if you want to draw then draw, I’m not stopping you from doing what you want but I don’t see how and/or why that should be posted if you’re just doing it to show off if it’s related to an Existing Franchise. You called it Harassing, I called it Asking, if you want to play it that way then go Rob a Bank then if you’re fine gaining money Illegally, you Thief (lmao), if you want to call what I'm doing as Harassing, then I can call what you're doing as either Stealing or Extortions. Says the one who’s using MLP for nothing more than Profits, you’d know a lot about Manipulating Techniques now wouldn’t you? I’ve told you, I’m no stranger to Hate’s and Accusations. I’ll accept that as a Compliment then, knowing I do struck a nerve of how true it is that you’re indeed only making MLP Arts for profits, you’re welcome to Prove me wrong BTW, if you can that is. The same Cartoon where you’re or the rest of those Fake Artists trying to take advantage of by using their name 's and Popularity to gaining Profits Illegally? I’d say that’s a very popular Cartoon and Characters, are you in Grade School BTW? Because then these arguments would make so much sense, and I don’t mean me included since I am already old enough to have a Job. Just being clear, there are people that think I like to delay replying just because I can, but I’m not that low nor Free of time. I didn’t, like I said, you’re the one who’s being Dramatic and making things Personal, all I ever wanted from anyone is their help to make this project of mine a reality, I didn’t say you aren’t a “Great Character” but you aren’t Proving to be one either based on all of your declination of my offer/project, BTW, I’m from Malaysia so English isn’t my first Language. If that were true, you wouldn't be posting those MLP Pics online and demanding Moneys for them now would you? Or is there another reason behind the Posting and Profiting of MLP Franchise? I've told you, we still have a VERY LONG conversation ahead of us.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Sure thing.

These chats were good entertainment, but god honestly, one can take only so much stupid for one week. I swear, the arguments between me and my 2 year old niece about drawing to the wallpapers or throwing diapers out the window have had more fuel in them than this irrational circlejerking shit.

Indeed, my lack of fuel was present on the following response:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

✉️ SOAP: Aren’t gonna even argue about this shit since nothing seems to go trough your skull. This shit is getting slowly just tiring and annoying. I did you a favor and removed all of my art from my account so you can sleep your night with dry sheets without need to worry about me gaining a half penny by posting them on public or cartoon ponies being misused. Horay!

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

I kind of lost my interest on inkbunny at this point (partly thanks to chucklefuck and partly because that site really wasn't my thing), so I decided to remove the pictures, wipe off the profile page and other content (to kind of kindly hint potential followers etc abt my plans to fuck off) and planned to remove the whole ass account at some point. Obviously, If I had been smart I could have done it right away right there, but god damn, the little pissant in my rump wanted to see what the fuck chucklefuck will answer to the auf Wiedersehen.

9) final chapter where little red riding hood goes home and 3 little pigs are turned into ribs

Indeed, I received one more response before I kind of gave up the hopeless ass debate:

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

✉️ CHUCKLEFUCK: There's something wrong with Everyone, you and me are No Exception, I don’t believe in something called “Perfection”, anyway, you’re the one who claims my messages are “Entertaining”, not my fault you decided to push someone’s who simply won’t give up without a Good Reason first AND that are Very Passionate in MLP and Arts their buttons. You do actually, you posted those Pics to gain attention, now you have Mine, and I don’t let someone who uses MLP for their own Benefits off very Easily. In short, I’ll treat you the same way you have/will treat me. you posted those MLP pics without thinking of the consequences, and you want to talk about dangerous now?

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

I have heard of the serious ass consequences about uploading pictures of Donald Duck bonking Scrooge to the duckrump, but never abt the severe consequences of uploading/crafting pony arts.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

✉️ CHUCKLEFUCK: Seeing them in person makes a lot of difference than arguing with them online, by the sounds of it, maybe you should take a walk in the Real World instead. You did YOURSELF a favor, we both know you’re not doing this to save anyone but yourself, if you are then prove it, you really think deleting those MLP Pics mean they won’t exist anymore? If so then you’re even more Naive than I am.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Gobshite apparently decided that I removed my art because I wanted to hide my cartoon pony shaped war crimes against humanity and jumped into some wild ass conclusion about my for sure malign and criminal motives and how I can't hide from the chucklefuck and shit.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

I know you exist BECAUSE of those pics, I know you can do MLP because of those Pics you posted, if not then you won’t even hear from me in the first place but now you do, and how’s that “Half Penny” working out for you? Also, This is the Internet, just because you delete them in Inkbunny doesn’t mean they’re not available elsewhere, like for example:- https:// twitter.com/ saippuaku It's typically a weakness that all of those who enjoys attentions which normally have Over-Inflated Ego would have. You can also delete them there if you wanted to, just know I have Full Screenshot of that entire Page, don't believe me? here's the proof - https://mega.nz/folder/UOxAwbQA#P5-bk3tLXO5kKPtLdPN8lw For what it's worth, I really hope you're not one of "Those" type of People.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

Sure thing.

Right now the link goes to empty folder but at time it included screenshots of my social media accounts full of my ponycrimes (art).

At this point shit turned kind of creepy. Arguing like fucking idiot is one thing, but archiving my shit as proof of something (ponycrimes) was something else.

Friend, who I updated about the clodpole's replies, was starting to get actually lil concerned about chuchklefuck (again turbo secret name):

Being lil tired of this shit as well, I decided to follow friend's advice with lazy route and banned chucklefuck's account. Honestly, I wouldn't have minded to leave fuckface to argue there alone since I had no plans to stay on the site, but this felt like the grown ass big boi option at the time.

Of course blocking fucklecucker's account didn't stop the piss parade. Chucklefuck had to return once more to share his last brilliant take:

Sure thing. Hope you felt like you achieved something in your life by saving a few cartoon animals.

Out of my morbid curiosity and because im lil asshole, I wanted to test something. I made new account with some smooth kawaii name and told friend to draw me some notorious mlp pony that I posted to my new turbo secret account.

For fucking no one's surprise, this account soon got lil too familiar message from our old friend, chucklefuck (account doesn't exist anymore so i arent gonna censor shit):

Replying to this shit could have brought up another brilliant 6 page long debate but we have got enough of that shit so no thanks.

For no one's surprise, chucklefuck's accounts were soon banned from inkbunny. I was little surprised no one had kicked the moron out of the site earlier if the level of the debate was as shit as it was with me. Dude literally had account on art site only to garble and harass people drawing mlp art.

TL;DR: In the end, I haven't seen chucklefuck since the banhammer did its job and good so. Lets never meet again, schlong. Also fuck u.

The lesson in this mess of a story is A) If someone grinds your gears or rustles your jimmies, don't be scared to block the asshole B) you don't owe people shit C) draw ur own ass content instead of weaseling that task for some strangers by calling the imho questionable division of work "collaboration".

A THOUGHT ABOUT MARIA'S BODY ON THE UPCOMING TCM GAME NEW MAP

So as some people would know , probably on the new map where in Nancy's house , apparently in Johnny's room , you might encounter Maria Flores's ( Anna's older sister and protagonist of the petals short playthrough ) body there . Here's a HC or a theory about this .

The sawyers do not grieve like the majority of people do , they keep the bodies of those close ones with them and act like they're still conscious or somehow alive . Examples of this :

Their grandmother on the first and second movie makes apparition but as a dead corpse , we can see her on her wheel chair and wearing her clothes close to her who we assume , her husband . On the second is more clearly this appreciation towards her on the end of it , where Chop Top ( Robert Sawyer ) seems to be worried about the safety of his grandma and accusing Vanita of killing her ( this was obviously a dark joke because she was dead a long time ago )

On the second movie, we can see that the sawyers kept some of the victims bodies / skeleton's as decoration , except for Franklin and Nubbins . Nubbins is the twin brother of Chop Top and known as the hitchhiker on the first movie but we only got to see one of them . He got inside the van and had a conversation with Franklin , who seemed to be the only one interested on the things that he was talking about , but after Pam sush them down and they deny him money for the picture , he leaves the van after cutting himself and Franklin's arm with his knife . Franklin dies after searching on his own with a flashlight the other ones by Bubba , and Nubbins hit by a truck while chasing Sally , his sister . Maybe this HC hasn't sense because they both die on the same day / night , but there's a possibility that Nubbins kept Franklin's body for seeing him as a " friend " before getting inside the house ( this would make the other members know to not mess with the body ) . Nubbins's corpse is used on the movie as a morbid puppet that they drag around ( specially his twin ) that they still talk to , feed and dress him up as if he was alive .

Now , the story of the game happens before this event , the first victim ( well , not first but you get it ) is Maria Flores , a college student that her car broke down and started to take pictures around from the nature and animals . Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that she saw Jhonny on a bar and found him attractive but nothing else , but it wasn't the same for him . He stalked her from afar or without being seen by her . @lelandswife wrote a HC about Jhonny killing in order to receive some kind of affection from his family but specially his mother , so when he found attractive Maria ( or whatever thing he had for this poor girl ) and saw her adoration towards the bunny she was trying to take a picture of , he killed it in a morbid show of affection . María looses track of time and gets more and more deep inside the Sawyers property even if it was already dark , taking one last picture of another bunny before getting jump scared by Jhonny that steals her camera . I don't remember who exactly wrote the HC , but there's one going around that he might not wanted her to be a victim more and was only playing around with her , scaring her away with the hope she gets out of their property . María runs but on the opposite direction of him towards the Sawyers house , Sissy opening the door from her pleading screams for help , only to encounter Bubba , running again , but this time , Jhonny ( I presume he didn't care at this point if she would get alive or not ) hurts her , drags her inside the house with Sissy and gets killed by Bubba with his chainsaw . So , I think that if we are able to see Maria's body is because Jhonny WANTED to keep it , and if for what it looks like for her missing clothes ( This might can change on the future , but the model of her body only has a ripped shirt and panties ) , he not only kept it intact , but more probably than not abuse her already dead body and treat her corpse like a morbid sex doll ( Who knows , maybe he does that with girls that he likes until their corpses are way too far rotten to be treated such way ) since the possibility of him treating her nicely genuinely out of love is almost impossible due his personality .

30 Day Fictionkind Challenge Day 24

Q: What's the worst anti-fictkin take you've ever seen?

A: There are so many, but it has to be a hard tie between things I've literally heard transphobes say verbatim, and art theft accusations.

"I'm not going to feed into their delusions by playing along and pretending they are who they say they are."

^ Literally shit I see every time I go on anti-kin blocking sprees. How they say this with zero self-awareness, I have no idea. Especially in cases where it comes from otherwise "progressive" folk. When overall intolerant people say this, it's like, yeah man I expected you to say as much, you know? Don't get me wrong, it's still shitty no matter who it comes from, but I'm particularly unimpressed when it comes from non-kin who otherwise consider themselves "accepting". I'm sure they've had these same kinds of slop arguments thrown at them and their communities from bad actors before, so why they're turning around and throwing the same at us is lost on me. It's probably just concern trolling.

I've talked about it in previous posts, but it's so incredibly disrespectful to armchair diagnose people or try and be some kind of backseat psychologist for them. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, fictionkinity isn't inherently a delusion or any other kind of symptom, and to assume it is is beyond counterproductive.

On top of that, fictionkind who do consider their identities to be influenced by or borne from delusions or mental illness deserve the same respect, dignity, and agency everyone else does. I don't understand what makes this fact so hard to accept in some circles. Let fictionkind (and all fictionfolk in general) determine for themselves who or what they are, how they want to be referred to, and what their boundaries are. You (general you) don't have any authority over others' identity, nor are you entitled to their personal information, especially not medical information.

—

"Fictionkin are stealing intellectual property/copyrighted material and claiming it as their own."

^ Another argument I see more often than I'd like to. On the bright side, it's way too absurd to really bother me all that much, it's just so egregiously incorrect it almost loops back around to being funny.

I don't even know what the logic behind that is. You couldn't pay me any amount of money to take credit for my source LMFAO. Keep it, I don't want it, I didn't make it, and every day I sleep soundly knowing I didn't.

If I had to come up with a possible thought process behind this argument, maybe it's just an uncharitable interpretation of how we go about our identities. People understand that one's own identity is uniquely theirs, but when it comes to fictionkin, that understanding may expand into "...so they must also consider the source material to be theirs/under their jurisdiction".

If we're fictionkind of media we didn't create ourselves, what do we gain from claiming we made it or that it's under our control? Usually nothing or worse. It's pointless to do that. We're just existing. Not to mention, many of us are canon-divergent.

That's about all I have to say. In general, I find that anti-fictkin arguments assume an element of arrogance and presumptuousness to being fictionkind that just isn't there.

Learning you have autism as an adult is already confusing and hard enough without people being dicks about it. Its so annoying that they keep mentioning your autism every time these anons try to talk shit to you. I'm so sorry for that. I'm on the spectrum myself and I, too have had ignorant fucks accuse me of trying to play innocent just for simply being autistic. Like bro we aren't trying to be innocent. I've never once heard an autistic person claim their autism makes them innocent🙃

thank you for this🖤

& yes it is super annoying. i've never ever tried to use it as an excuse or said i was innocent of anything. being autistic doesn't make you an angel who can do no wrong lol i've definitely mentioned the fact that i do certain things because i'm autistic, like i may freak out about overstimulation or its hard for me to tell when im being manipulated or its hard for me to interact with others. but its never ever been an excuse for anything. i've done some terrible things in my life. like stealing money to buy drugs when i was addicted. or lying to ppl i cared about. and me being autistic has nothing to do with any of that. i've never in my life ever tried to use it as an excuse and i don't know why this person keeps trying to say i do. its really frustrating. its frustrating for ppl who don't know me to talk about me being on the spectrum at all. i'm still learning about myself and how it affects me. and its something that isn't anyone else's business. i shared about it when i first got diagnosed and i'll mention it when talking about my experiences sometimes, and ever since then i've had ppl bring it up every time they attack me. or try to diagnose me with stuff that i don't even have😭

if ur not my doctor then don't talk about my brain okay thanks✨🥰
