#i'm just as money hungry as the next hoe

[october-nightt]

spoiled (x black reader)

warnings: cussing, mentions of sex at the end, angst but then fluff, hatin' ass ex.

you and jack have been together for almost 6 months now, but it only took him 6 seconds to realize how high maintenance you were.

you loved designer brands and you always kept you hair and nails done so when it was time for you to walk down the red carpet with jack next to you, he knew you wanted to show off.

he was ready to announce yall's relationship and tonight was the big night.

"jack! I need help with my hair, I don't know what to choose" you whined.

jack leaned over your shoulder to look at the options you selected.

" baby you know I love you with your braids, or shit a 30 inch buss down would look good too" she smiled wide.

you frowned.

"fuck you know 'bout a 30 inch buss down?? that wasn't one of the options."

jack laughed and kissed you on your forehead.

"don't get fucked up jack" you said jokingly before booking an appointment to get the wig installed.

"you know I'm fucking with you baby, but it would look great. even tho yo natural hair is my favorite"

he said as he looked in the full body mirror sitting in the corner of the room you and jack shared.

after booking your appointment you slowly walked over to jack and put on your best begging face.

"you know what would go good with my hair?" you asked

"what?

'a new dress and nails, maybe some jewelry and shoes and new makeup!!"

jack turned to look at you.

" you was gon get that anyways mama" he responded.

you hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek.

"thank you baby"

after that yall finished getting ready in silence.

once you both were ready jack took you shopping. he wasn't worried about the price, he just wanted you to be happy.

but he also secretly wanted everyone to know how fucking fine his girl was.

you starting looking for shoes first, then your dress, and make up, and jewelry.

after shopping it was time for your appointment. jack didn't stay because he had to take care of something but you knew it would take a little while for your hair to get done so you didn't mind.

that was until his ex-girlfriend walked in.

she didn't see you at first but you damn sure seen her.

jack had told you stories about his ex. about how she only cared for herself and money.

you loved nice things but you weren't money hungry.

you decided to mind your business but she finally noticed you and had to start some bs.

" oh my god Y/N. you look beautiful" she leaned in for a hug but you moved away

"aww dont be like that, what? mad because jack was with me last night?"

you didn't believe her, you knew she would lie about anything to start some drama

"bitch please, my man left yo nasty ass long ago" you rolled your eyes.

you didn't have time for this hoe and her bullshit.

but then she pulled out her phone and showed you a picture of jack sitting at her house, and sure enough the time stamp proved it was from yesterday night.

you heart dropped

"just thought you should know" that bitch.. his ex said before walking away.

after your hair was done you immediately called jack

"hey baby, I'm right around the corner ill be there soo-"

"what the fuck were you doing with your ex last night?" you cut him off.

you heard his sigh

"y/n listen I was just over there because she needed me to help move her furniture into her new house"

you let out a spiteful laugh

"oh so when she calls, you go running huh? she's not your girlfriend jackman. I don't give a damn if she needed help she should've called someone else! and the fact that you answered when she calle-..."

you took a deep breath

"I don't wanna talk to you right now, ill find a ride. don't bother picking me up."

and with that you hung up. you felt like jack had you looking dumb. your own boyfriend was with his ex and now she's bragging in your face.

you called your best friend to pick you up and take you back to her house, you didn't wanna see jack.

you get ready at her house. even though you were mad at jack, you refused to let him show up to the red carpet alone.

you took an uber which arrived at the same time as jacks.

"Y/N?" he called out to you.

"can we talk?"

you simply nodded and you both walked somewhere more private.

"look I'm so sorry y/n. you're right, she's not my girlfriend and I shouldn't have picked up her call..shit I should've blocked her the day we got together but baby I cant be without you. she's blocked now and I know that doesn't mean much but I'm begging you to forgive me baby."

you looked up at jack.

"I forgive you jackman."

jack pulled you into a kiss and smiled as his arms wrap tightly around your waist

"now lets go mama, cus you look good as hell and once this is over I'm ripping that expensive ass dress off."

I enjoy using work as a way to escape my left-leaning, anti-fascism, skeptical algorithm bubble. Firstly, I have a large number of coworkers with extremely right-wing opinions; and even though most of them have figured out that I'm better (and/or more stubborn) at arguing politics, religion et al than they are, I can get a couple bites of the more... Passionate ones. Secondly, I get access to a near clean Microsoft Start news page as the default home of the web browsers on all the computers as well as the daytime Network TV playing in the break rooms.

Anyways, all that preamble is tell a very specific story. While on break, not 30 minutes ago, there was some crap TV about Alaskan "homesteaders". Holy forking shirt balls y'all... The absolute gall of self-indulgent, libertarian, myth-making crap. The "Men-folk" coming on camera to jerk themselves about how their all just "living off the land" and "Struggling to build a simple chicken coop with the subpar lumber on their land"... the very next shot is a Hitachi track hoe lifting a log into a modern sawmill being powered with a Honda generator. With the "homesteader's" brand new Polaris ATV parked in the background.

Where'd you get the money for all that? Where's that replacement belt for your sawmill going to come from? Where do you get the gas to run the generator? Or to run the atv? Where do you buy new chains for that chainsaw you used to cut down that log? You got a Metallurgy degree and a forge in that backyard too?

The best part was the blatant misogyny. Guy talking about how he's being so brave and taking this big risk going bear hunting "just to put some meat in the freezer". I mean the bears are dangerous because they're fresh out of hibernation and thus very hungry. Then you've got six miles kayaking across a freezing cold Alaskan Lake... Then he picks up his dad in a $120,000 pickup truck; at least $5,000 worth of firearms, two satellite phones, 2 military grade GPS devices, and a brand new, two-person kayak. Then we cut to the guy's wife out on on the water and a dingy little fishing boat with an outbound motor that looks like lost to fight with a rust monster. The she goes "Yeah, if Frank and Dale don't bag a black bear, I'm the backup plan. I can usually catch enough fish to last us through the year in two or three solid weeks of work out here on the lake."

Now listen, I'm not saying she didn't have really nice fishing gear or a good GPS and/or satellite phone. But like. Seems like it'd be better to just go out and do the fishing, or hop in your brand new truck and drive the 300 miles to the nearest town and pick up 100 lb of beef and 50 lb of pork you clearly got money to buy some meat. But then you wouldn't be "manly" enough because you didn't go out there and fight a black bear with naught but a pocket knife or whatever.

That's the thing with libertarian thinking. It's all about not relying on "The Grid" until it's useful or even just convenient. Mine and everyone else's tax dollars paid for the roads the employees at the ammo factory took to work. All so you could jerk off about killing a groggy, starving black bear.

hey lovely!! i just stumbled across your underused gifs and i'm in love tbh? thanks for putting me onto so many underused fcs! if you ever have the time/interest, could you please consider updating your alice pagani gif icons? she's so underused yours is the only gif icon hunt of hers i could find in the tags! and if you accept ko-fi/patreon/etc. ofc i'd be willing to send something your way for your time and effort!

Hey bubz! Sorry for the late response!! It makes me so happy to read that you love my underused fcs, my main motivation to post them is so I see them getting a little love and maybe a little bit more of visibility (and seeing a few different faces on the rps in general). Also, yes!!! I’ll start updating them as soon as I can which means probably later this week but like probably. And, I do appreciate the sentiment but don’t worry about the money thing!!!!

quick update: there are now around 700 gifs and I may do a few more for the movies she was in if I manage to find them in a quality that’s not garbage.

I'll just quickly drop my theory about all of this "world tour" bs. So we all know that TS is a money hungry hoe. And after/with Noir BAP as a group have been/are gaining popularity again so it's more lucrative to stay on the group wave (aka world tour) than to try and establish them as individual artists, which would be more work and less immediate success. Also just yesterday they said it wasn't clear if Yongguk is already healthy enough again and today it's confirmed I'm smelling bullshit.

Hey, thanks for your input, I agree with all of the above. Now that you mention it, I wonder about the solo endeavors. Did B.A.P mean they were going to promote as solo artists, the way Hyosung and Jieun from Secret have, or did they mean more along the lines of that they’ll be attending variety shows and things as individuals rather than a group? If it’s the former, my next question is: did TS change their minds about giving B.A.P actual promoted solos because they realized that it’s not as successful based on the success of Secret’s solos?? (Don’t get me wrong, I love all of Hyosung/Jieun’s solos but they didn’t win any awards or make a big impact like they should have - all of their songs are bops). As always, TS does The Most to make us irritated and to keep us out of the loop because they don’t like being told what to do by fans. We don’t call them TShit for nothing.

I think you’re dead on with this part:

“BAP as a group have been/are gaining popularity again so it’s more lucrative to stay on the group wave than to try and establish them as individual artists, which would be more work and less immediate success”
