I just finished The Boyfriend reunion (there are subs on it now!), and I, of course, have feelings about it.
I'm so happy that Taeheon was able to come out successfully to his parents and that he is trying to be more open to dating different types of people after his experiences getting to know the other boyfriend cast members. He's such a lovely man, and I really hope he finds a great partner.
I am now about 95% convinced that Kazuto had a thing for Dai that he never pursued because Dai was so set on Shun from day one. His comment in the episode watch that Netflix put up on YouTube a few days ago where he said he thought Dai liked him definitely makes me think he was thinking about Dai in the early days. Especially when I remembered Kazuto was one of the 3 people who wrote Dai a letter on day 1.
I'm also convinced Dai would have been the Kazuto of the season if he had been open to anyone but Shun. He got a letter from Ginsei, Kazuto, and Ryota on day one. Alan had already hit it 😂. He wooed Shun into falling in love with him, and Ikuo wanted him too. Boy had mad game and only played for Shun 💖.
On the Shun and Dai front, they seem like they are doing great. I've seen some concern over Dai letting Shun do most of the talking about their relationship. I find that so funny because all the complaints during the show were that Shun wasn't expressing how he felt about Dai, and now that he is talking about it, Dai is being stifled! Just say yall don't like them and go. It's fine to just not vibe with a couple's energy. I personally loved seeing Shun be excited to talk about them. He looked very happy.
I've also seen people concern trolling over the "we fight everyday" comment from Dai. I think that was 50% joke, but if yall didn't know Shun and Dai's dramatic asses were going to be the type of couple who ruins a rug over a fight about sashimi idk what to tell you. Some couples like drama. Sometimes fighting is foreplay. Their kinks are okay.
I really love Dai's comment about opening himself up to being hurt by Shun. I don't at all think he was saying Shun has a license to hurt him whenever he wants. I think he was saying he ran scared from love before because he feared being hurt, but meeting Shun made him brave enough to risk being hurt. Like, even if this person does end up hurting me, our love is worth the risk.
I think Shun and Dai actually have a pretty healthy relationship because they communicate well. Neither one of them is scared to say, "I don't like that," and they don't seem like they avoid conflict. Shun being a "princess" is not concerning to me. Sometimes people are divas, and sometimes other people are gagged for divas. MFEO! I also think it took a person like Shun to make Dai want a relationship. He said he was focused on education and career, and to me, that reads as a man who hadn't found anyone interesting enough to move his focus to romance. Shun being beautiful AND challenging was exactly what Dai needed to move his focus.
I'll end by saying that relationships are hard. All relationships, and I hope everyone who watched or watches the show will remember these are real people. They are on social media. They are seeing what you say about them. I hope everyone leads with kindness and treats the cast like they would the people in their actual lives. They made my summer so lovely by letting me into their lives, and I hope they all go on to be incredibly happy.

tbh, i love reading your tags, do you mind a short analysis on "kristoff and hans had their own responses to these issues" [frozen heart]? 🙏 idk, i feel like you'll have smth important to say here, there's not smuch talk about the boys and i'd love to hear your deepened opinions on both of them, especially in F1 (since Hans hasn't really been present in the franchise afterwards)
Hi, Anon ❄ Idk if I have something important to say, but I've always viewed The big frozen four (Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Hans) as a whole "set". They are connected and more similar than it seems.
The op's post was about trauma and fear and the sisters' response to it. Kristoff and Hans were traumatised and isolated too; basically everyone in Frozen had a metaphorical frozen heart but Anna, she's got a real one after so many tries to reach out for the people she loved in vain.
Kristoff was an orphan since birth, if we believe The lost legends: Fixer Upper book. He never knew parental love. The children at the orphanage bullied him, he could not make real friends, plus he was somewhat different from the others (this book strongly hints at Kristoff being autistic) He noticed those people, the ice harvesters, and was very eager to become one of them, to find his own place, but he could not really do it, no one really wanted to adopt him, and the craft was passed on within clans he wasn't a member of. When staying at the orphanage and the school became unbearable, Kristoff gladly allowed himself to be "kidnapped" to the Trolls' valley. He got a lot better there, but still there is a difference between a troll and a human; and the older he got, the more obvious it was. He always knew only offence and cruelty from people, but he could no longer be with trolls like in childhood, so he protected himself with cynicism and aloofness. He didn't believe in anything until he met Anna.
Hans, as Lee said, is the result of growing up without love(as all of them to some extent). Based on the information from the Frozen Heart book and that comic "Leftovers", his childhood was terrible. His brothers ignored and mocked him (someone might say that they felt something cursed in him, but maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy), his father considered him a worthless nobody and did not pay attention. The Isles were terrible and at the same time he was eager to prove himself to them. Power, a chance, a higher calling became both a way out of the cage, and an opportunity to earn the respect and love of his father and brothers. A way to show them that they were wrong, that he meant something. Hans's response to the trauma was coldness and hatred. As none treated him as a person, so he will not consider others.
If we place the characters on "the frozen heart" scale, Anna would be at the bottom, then Kristoff(Trolls saved him) then Elsa, and Hans at the top. Kristoff and Elsa didn't trust anyone, shutting everyone out. Anna and Hans trusted and desired other people, but in different ways. Anna thought that everyone was good and loving, Hans thought that everyone was either evil or stupid. There's so many parallels and similarities between them all: Kristoff and Hans and their cynicism, Elsa and Hans and "the cage" theme, their relationship with power, Anna and Hans as "the spare", etc, etc.

Okay so Trolls has become my new hyperfixation (mostly the third movie), and I ADORE Poppy and Branch so much 💖 their relationship is so precious to me, they're my comfort ship fr <3 so I hope you enjoy this lil Broppy post where I ramble about some of my favorite scenes. :D Beware though, this will have some spoilers for Trolls Band Together! Don't read if you haven't watched it yet!
Tumblr media
I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE WAY HE'S LOOKING AT HER WHILE SHE'S ALL EXCITED. He's so in love with her I can't 😭
I really adored this little moment. You can really see how much he loves and adores Poppy. But it wasn't just his expression that I loved here, it was also the fact that there is so much love and trust between them that he wasn't upset at her for fangirling over meeting Clay, a former member of her favorite band. I know this is probably silly- why would he be angry at his girlfriend for being excited, right? Unfortunately, I know people who would be pissed at their significant other and accuse them of wanting and/or thirsting for the person they were previously excited to meet, even though it was nothing like that at all, just pure excitement. I've seen many toxic relationships within my family, and seeing these two act like a REAL couple who love and trust one another just makes me melt. Branch obviously feels safe and secure in his relationship with Poppy, and doesn't doubt her feelings for him at all. I wish I had seen healthy relationships like this growing up, I would have a bit more hope if I had. 🥲
ANYWAYS
Tumblr media
LOOK AT THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HEEEERRRRR
I WILL NEVER NOT SCREAM ABOUT THIS.
There isn't a particular reason why I like this scene, I just adore the way he looks at Poppy <3
Tumblr media
I REALLY LOVE THIS SCENE BECAUSE LIKE- I FEEL LIKE THIS MOMENT IS KIND OF IMPORTANT FOR BRANCH.
Like, he hasn't seen any of his brothers in years, and one would assume that he would want this little bonding moment with his brothers. And ofc he does, he still loves his brothers, but he wants to share this special moment with Poppy as well, the most important person in his life. Plus, he knows how much she loves to sing, so I have a feeling he knew just what she was thinking and wanted to dance and sing with his favorite person. <3
I think I'm so attached to these two because they have such a sweet relationship that in my opinion, is realistic and what relationships should be (the love and respect, I mean). I know that movies don't show the real struggles that happen in a relationship, and I know the difference between reality and fiction, but I feel like Trolls did a pretty good job. Relationships should be treated as, well, relationships. Trust is extremely important in a relationship, as well as self love.
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST LOVE EACH OTHER ANYMORE, WHY ARE THEY SO POSSESSIVE?!?! That's a lot of the reason why some relationships just don't work out. That and low self esteem. YOU MUST LOVE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN LOVE SOMEONE ELSE, THIS IS TRUE SHIT PEOPLE.
Sorry, idk how I drifted off of the topic of the ship lmao.
Can you tell that I'm totally normal about these two fictional characters? From a kids movie??

What do you think of MC x Wayne? The devs' most favorable pairing above all the characters, in spite of Stella being the #1 popular Li. Isn't he supposed to be our otp for the main player? I know that you don't seem very fond of Wayne lately because of how he feels and treats your main Li, especially how he is going to feel about that character's unfortunate outcome in one of the bad endings involving a character's death? Also, who will you romance if you are not together with Reese? Oscar or Stella, perhaps?
gotta be honest, this feels like bait.
first off - i’m so confused by a lot of this. i don’t think the devs ever said mc x wayne was their favorite pairing, or that it was supposed to be an otp for the player character??? the way the game works is that there is no “otp” for the player character - you can choose to romance whoever you want, or no one at all; it’s all dependent on your individual playthrough.
second - i don’t really think ive said that the reason i dislike wayne is because of how he treats reese. i mean, that definitely doesn’t help, but my main beef with him is how he treats the MC. he acts like you’re an idiot who can’t make decisions for yourself (but only if you make decisions he doesn’t agree with - very controlling) and denies the MC autonomy by refusing to listen when they tell him to stop doing things, like following them around or threatening to hurt their friends (which, in the case of reese, he actually goes through with). he’s also just an asshole, and i don’t enjoy the way he talks about a lot of people and creatures.
in general, his behavior and personality remind me of creepy asshole guys i’ve had to deal with in my past, and it kind of baffles me when people try and paint him as a good guy. he’s not meant to be a good guy. i think a lot of people know that and that’s why they’re drawn to him (and i get it bc i have plenty of villains i love lol), but I’ve seen just as many people who act like it would be crazy to want to get away from Wayne and the best course of action is to let him have full control and “protect” you all the time. like, if you want that for your playthrough, that’s great, go for it. but i take umbrage with the idea that it’s an objective reality that everyone needs to accept.
now, all this is to say that i do think he’s a well written character. i like him as an antagonist and i think the devs did a great job of creating him in a way that elicits real fear. love him as a character, but despise him when i’m actually experiencing the game as MC, and when people act like I’m committing a crime by disliking him and i need to change my opinion. everyone seems to get it when you say you hate sybil, but if you say you don’t like wayne, people act like you’ve confessed to murder.
moving away from that rant, this message is just baffling in general lmao. quickly addressing most everything else - i’m fine with the concept of mc x wayne, everyone can ship what they want, it’s just not for me, and i dont want to be told that it is the “canon route/best route” and everyone should love it and choose it or whatever. ive never really talked about stella so idk where you got that i would want to romance her??? she’s one of the characters im just not attracted to bc she’s not my type. i will always choose reese in every playthrough bc i feel like im abandoning or betraying him if I don’t, but if I couldn’t choose him, I would choose oscar, followed by kaneeka.
i’m hoping this is enough to end any more questions from you, because if you come back with more bait/troll type messages, I’ll probably just block.

rockstar! eddie x nepobaby reader???? idk probably reader would a daughter of two famous actors or singers and they meet on a carpet, fall in love and started dating in secret and 💞💓💓💖💘⭐️😭💌 sound so perfect probably i would cry
It's taken me so long to write this but I'm actually turning this into a series!!! This seems like a really nice universe to explore, so I'm writing some hcs now of their story and you guys will get the full fics next. I need a name for the series so you are more than welcome to give ideas!!!! That being said as always my content is +18 only and requests are open. Thanks! And thank you for this request, love! 💖💖
Tumblr media
First thing first I can imagine reader being the kid of a famous musician in the rock/metal scene and the mother being an actress. An only child but not too spoiled, I think her parents wouldn't really hand her everything in a silver platter.
However nepotism is nepotism so when she starts to show an interest in acting it's not that hard to get a job, even if she asked to be treated like the others.
Eddie and reader meet at a red carpet for an event involving dad's band.
Both of them are like holy shit how are you even real.
Of course they exchange numbers but for the public eye it ends there. Just two kids being besties.
H O W E V E R
They really click. Text constantly, they send each other silly selfies, they tell all about their days, some text that almost cross the line between friends or more.
So naturally both Gareth and Steve tell him to just ask reader out.
Eddie is like no.
And everyone just ???????????
He is just scared of the outcome but of course readers says yes. Only he forgets to tell the boys so like no one know.
NO ONE.
They are like teenagers, sneaking in and out, booking hotel rooms to have silly little dates under silly little names.
And of course the first person to find out is reader's dad and poor Eddie is scared shitless. But he loves Eddie and agrees to keep it a secret because how could he say to his little kid.
So now they get secret dates and family dinners with r's family and Wayne.
Fast forward to a year later, both happy, the friends know, everyone is cool with keeping it lowkey and then they get papped.
And shit goes down. Like everyone loves the couple but they are both so angry their little bubble of privacy got destroyed.
And the fans!!!! They are so happy but so ready to harass the tabloids to leave them alone.
And suddenly the two are doing red carpets together, looking so in love. And of course they are photographed out and I'd like to think they do like Emma and Andrew or Joe and Sophie just trolling the paps in the best way possible.
All in all it's a very sweet but dramatic relationship.
But he knows they are IT for him so he is willing to absolutely kick anyone's ass for them. And he does.
More coming soon.

OKAY SO HEAR ME OUT
take this with a massive huge grain of salt, this is NOT a theory, or even necessarily a proper prediction, just a possible plotline for cinderella’s castle that my brain cooked up in the shower just now. I don’t expect this to happen, I won’t be upset if it doesn’t, it’s just a thought I had and I wanted to share it.
SO we’re all thinking this might have elements of the movie labyrinth in it right? with the font, costumes, the addition of “trolls”, and the frog and mouse characters being similar in concept to the side character puppets in that movie, I think it’s pretty likely to be a sort of mish-mash of cinderella and labyrinth.
so my idea is this: to begin with, cinderella lives with her nasty troll stepfamily, and she either has a baby sibling like in labyrinth, OR a high and mighty prince boyfriend who only comes to shag her and then treats her like a peasant around other people. either way, she gets mad at that person, wishes they would disappear, and boom kim’s character arrives, and she’s basically the jared of this story. she whisks the baby / prince away to her castle (which may be at the centre of a labyrinth?? idk) and says that if ella doesn’t come for them by the time the clock strikes twelve, they’ll be hers forever.
ella sets off on this quest, meets the little puppet characters along the way, whatever. she gets to the castle, and faces off with kim’s character, who reveals that none of this was about the person ella was trying to save, but about ella herself. and she summons her stepmother and stepsisters, and ella fights them, finally taking revenge for her real family and facing up to her fear, as they are the real villains of the piece.
now I want this to be a lesbian show as much as anyone else, and it still could be, but basically my idea is that kim’s character actually isn’t a villain at all, but the fairy godmother, and this whole thing was to equip ella with the skills and life lessons to be able to face her step family. she is either presented as a homoerotic love interest for ella (obviously in that case with a title other than “godmother” lmfao), or she is in fact the ghost of her mother. I reckon if the baby was stolen, she would be ella’s mother, if the boyfriend was stolen, she would be ella’s love interest, make sense? it changes the dynamics a lot I feel.
the book that details the basic story lore in this video says that “the lady ashmore was burned at the stake for the crime of witchcraft”, so this could very well be her! the spirit of a witch returned from the grave to help her daughter get revenge and take her life back.
oh and there would be a ball theme / setting in the castle in the final battle because. well yk :)
but yeah that’s just my deranged idea, probably gonna be a nerdy prudes situation where I come up with a whole ass musical in my head and the real thing is NOTHING like it, but yeah idk I thought this was pretty cool :) lmk what you think in the notes!!
oh and the prince would be played by curt mega btw. he would be annoying asf but very cunty

Personally, I don't think the Princesses would've judged the Princes on their looks. Sure, they thought they were handsome, but none of the girls are vain. Even if the boys were, like, mountain trolls instead, they would've just been excited at the fact that their father would finally be allowing them to talk to boys, and date boys, and eventually marry boys.
I'd have to disagree. Before this, the princesses seemed to be objecting to the idea of arranged marriages.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And even if you don't count this as objection because of the frame after it
Tumblr media
They still only really cared about what the princes looked like. They instantly judged them as hot fairy tale princes based on a portrait. Lorena indirectly said that she didn't care about their personalities because they were hot
Tumblr media
And I'm not necessarily calling them vain here (I'm calling them vain for giving Frederick crap about it lol). I'm just saying that it would be in character for them (or at the VERY LEAST Maria) to accidently say something cruel if they had been disappointed like Frederick had, especially if they had thought the real prince was scary, like Frederick had.
Also, they DID judge the princes on their appearances. They saw a portrait of the princes, and then instantly assumed they'd be idealized princes. Frederick objectified Gwen as some evil witch out to curse him, while the pastel princesses objectified the princes as fairy tale happily ever afters that are going to spoil them for the rest of their lives. Just because the princesses treated them better based on appearances doesn't mean they didn't treat them differently based on appearances. (I would like to say tho, Gwen didn't actually do this. She assumed Frederick was an idealized prince for like 2 seconds until she actually met him and realized otherwise. I'm mostly talking about Maria and Lorena here anyways, but I still want to bring that up)
Idk tho, this is just my interpretation of the character. Feel free to argue with me in the reblogs. More perspectives is never a bad thing ^-^

(Different anon) Hasnt She's done that with all of her friends? Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Ed Sheeran.. She had a whole music video with her "squad" at the time, many of whom she shared a spotlight with and the entire tone of her 1989 era image/promo seemed to be her putting her friends first over the boys she was dating (going off of what she said in the documentary). What sets Karlie apart from all her other longterm famous friends (I know tone can be hard to convey over text so I just want to clarify that I'm not trying to debate you or attack you or anything, I'm just curious about your POV since it's your favorite era and mine too) It's OK if you still ship them I guess, you do you, but I guess I've always seen Taylor as someone who usually has many long-term friends (a lot of them whom she still keeps in touch with even now, years later) and I want to understand if this is a ship thing or there's some other context/interpretation I'm missing
just to clarify, i don't ship any real people of any kind, not for a very very long time at least. not trying to dump on anyone who does, but i just don't roll like that and it's not something i care about. i have a pinned post at the top of my blog that also clarifies i don't care what she's doing with her personal life in private, and that's true about EVERYONE she's ever linked to. i don't like to speculate publicly, unless it's a joke, or engage with people who do. again, not to shit on anyone who does or say i'm like idk better than them or something stupid like that, it's just cuz i can't imagine that i would ever know her enough to say anything ever about her personal life with any shred of confidence. i also don't follow/engage with it cuz it's not something i enjoy or am interested in digging into being a taylor swift fan. it doesn't seem like you want to do that either, but i just want to make that clear that i'm not the blog to go to if you want to speculate in detail about her personal life! you can send me very funny jokes though, those are always welcome.
that being said, there's no interpretation happening anywhere on my blog at least. it's just what happened. we all watched it. and i'll add that maybe what you're missing is that she wasn't a long term friend. she met this girl and then attached herself to karlie's hip for 8-12 months, paraded her around exclusively, unlike any new friend she'd ever done before or since, like she was her soul sister best friend most important person in her life. maybe you're trolling me idk, but if you genuinely don't think her friendship with karlie was treated differently, you're just objectively wrong about that. like maybe you're having a mandala effect moment or you were really young or something, but it's why the fandom hates karlie so much. she was clearly meaningful to taylor and a close friend and whatever happened, taylor hates her now so the fans hate her. but you can refresh your memory by googling articles or the scores of content made about them because they were everywhere, constantly shoved in our faces and wouldn't shut up about each other. it's extremely well documented, and remembered, by everyone who was around to watch it unfold. the reaction to karlie showing up at the eras tour wouldn't have been a mass hysteria event if their friendship had been no different from her other friendships, like come on now. whatever they feel about shipping, nobody can deny that her public display of their friendship was unlike anyone she'd befriended before and she hasn't singled out and paraded any single friend around like that, consistently despite having just met her, since. i'm not saying it was or wasn't anything more than that, i'm saying that's just quite literally what happened and then she cut her out of her life entirely. the baseline that a lot of people (not all but a lot!) are responding to is the familiarity of it; the obsessive, intimate (usually female) friendship that can sneak up on you and blow up your whole life temporarily. a particular kind of rapid but intense bond and subsequent unceremonious dissolution that you might not be understanding, and that's fine! but if you don't get it, you just never will until you experience that yourself. it's a common girlhood experience that many people have, and it carries different undertones for different people and i'm not taylor so i can't tell you what those undertones were or weren't for her, but it's incredibly potent just the same and it leaves a hole behind, however small or large, that you will never fill again.

the age old tradition of cassian and jyn not being given the benefit of the doubt and being deeply misunderstood by the majority of fans to the point that idk how they can even say they understood the premise of rogue one is... certainly continuing on in 2022
these are both flawed, complex characters who are deeply human and realistic. they act like people do - they're not always in the right and they fuck up, and they can be mean and spiteful, and also deeply moral and brave, and all of that happens in the film and it's great to see characters being realistic as hell but also annoying as fuck that people don't get it.
I think it's not true to say that jyn gets treated with less empathy by fans than cassian because the entire fandom has basically been saying "why do we need a show about this guy" since andor was announced lol even though it makes total sense to create a show for the most well received disney sw film that actually could work on the number one critique of rogue one (that the character development was weak).
not to mention the amount of weird shit about how cassian is boring and not a good protagonist (eat shit eat dirt die in a fire lol sorry it's sag season cannot help the flames must be toxic) IN HIS OWN SHOW just because he's not showy or like idk lets keep it real because he is played by a Mexican actor.
but if you think there isn't a weird amount of vitriol that goes jyn's direction, idk I mean I've experienced it personally and I know a bunch of ~~~longtime lol rebelcaptain shippers have since andor came out. now idc lol I live for toxic anons and trolls they feed my fire but it has been very upsetting for a number of people to experience this shit. and a lot of it has been targeting queer women and femmes in the fandom soooo yeah forgive me if I'm a bit touchy about the misogynistic part of this fandom lately.
truth is han/leia/luke are the og trio and we all love them although actually luke has ironically gotten the most shit in my twenty years of loving star wars. they get the benefit of the doubt because we grew up with them, and their whiteness definitely helps but lbr I do think nostalgia plays a big role.

i guess i get why other ppl consider fictosexual as a label to be like inherently ace but i really don’t feel that way about it or ID as asexual so i do find it kind of annoying in that respect
i think for some people the argument is like predicated on the idea that being ficto must be totally exclusive in order for the label to even come into play or that like being ficto kind of supersedes any other identity but that’s just like. really not my experience in the slightest
i say this as someone who probably Is “primarily” ficto too, i don’t necessarily have a ton of interest in finding a “real” relationship (mine are already real bc they matter to me and it’s frustrating that i feel ive ceded so much ground on this over the years), but being not interested in it like. idk i also know i’m capable of attraction to other people in real it’s just that i don’t have a huge social drive to begin with let alone a drive for finding romance. and if it weren’t for ptsd i would definitely be open to sex outside of an established relationship. being capable of both types of attraction and treating them as equally serious does kind of put one in a weird position when the ficto label is so associated with like, Being Ace. idk.
and then like honestly it’s twice as complicated in the weird position of having DID and inner relationships and all that. like well my personal experience is now some weird in-between of “this is a fake character” and “this is a person i know in reality and speak to” because well. The symptoms.
i guess like. idk at what point do you cede that even if ficto attraction is by necessity one-sided that doesn’t mean that everyone who feels that attraction is going to view it as like, asexual. or that they’ll necessarily view it as one-sided to begin with or process it as a “safer” attraction or any of the other views that position fictosexuality as like, at a remove. am i making sense. it’s not like some huge social issue of course i just find it kind of irritating bc these communities held and continue to hold importance for me as a Weird Person Hoping To Be Understood and i think pigeonholing your fellow weird people or defining them out of a label they really should be able to use (bc anyone in A Ficto Relationship ought to have the word available to them) just doesn’t do any good.
it’s also like, it’d be great if these communities got bigger, but in almost every case of Srs Bsns Ficto Community ive seen (including like, w*ifuists and the like), i feel like there’s this fixation on proving one’s sincerity and worthiness and investment in the relationship or lifestyle or whatever that kind of bars a lot of people who are also serious but have their own personal ideas of how to live their relationships. bc they’re afraid of casuals or trolls i guess. honestly it’s very stupid and frustrating

i’m gonna be real i never understood you all with the whole john green thing. you don’t care and that’s fine. but for the sake of saying my piece, back then and now all i think when i look at the details is “...what.”
what do you mean he should’ve joined in with the cock monologue joke. that’s a terrible fucking idea. you all were accusing him of being a pedophile.
and while we’re on the subject, what do you mean he’s a pedophile for writing books with older teenagers where they’re implied to have sex and teaching a course on sex ed. that’s not a real person opinion that’s like a twitter ya opinion or a troll bot take. that opinion deserves one response and that response is “...anyways,” it’s literally not even worth talking about.
what do you mean the harassment campaign was okay because he’s a (these days) fairly rich author. what the hell do you mean. how am i goiung to click on a blog and see a posts like “fuck how you treated amber herd, we’re a cooperative species, you deserve forgiveness, it’s never okay to unhuman a person” followed by an obscure john green hate post you awkwardly reblogged years after he was harassed into deactivating.
i’m sorry but it creeps me out that a lot of you recognize how fucked up this was and just like step back into it whenever it comes up without actually addressing what caused you to get caught up in the first place. we all fuck up but the refusal to acknowledge when you’ve done wrong and accept the responsibility to improve is what separates the children from the adults especially when it pertains to something so vicious and drawn out.
idk what to tell you but this shouldn’t have happened in the first place and you should ask yourself why you contributed and try to grow from that.

You deserve so much better, and I'm sorry people have treated you this way for any reason. It's especially ridiculous in the context of "differing opinions about the quality of a show/season finale/creative choices," but you absolutely should not have gotten any of these comments for any reason. I love reading your work and your thoughts, but I fully understand if you don't want to share any of that again. There are things I have never posted and likely never will, entire creations that I'm never going to share, due to this exact phenomenon. Online creations, from meta to fic to everything else, are a delight and a privilege, not a given that anyone's entitled to.
You deserve better, and you have the right to share as much or little as you want. Please do what's best for you.
Thank you. This is really kind, and I appreciate it.
Honestly... like, I keep trying to not make a big deal out of this, but it feels so shitty. I know that right now I'm flaring and that makes everything seem worse than it is, but I can't tell you how demoralizing it felt to be unable to eat anything for like 24 hours, then actively pushing my dislocated fingers back into joint and looking on my phone and seeing a paragraph about what a fucking idiot I am. I just wanted to straight-up cry. This is the first time I've ever turned off anon asks, and I've gotten some real doozies over the years.
At first I felt better when I realized it was fewer people than I thought who were angry with me, but I think it's finally sinking in that there were people who hated me so much that they sent me messages for months. I don't get it! Like... I don't think I'm a particularly awful person. Not perfect, to be sure, but I try to be as nice and patient as I can be online. What the heck is so bad about me that I inspire people to follow me around for months?
It feels bad, okay! I'll admit it, it feels bad. I know we're supposed to act like we're above getting our feelings hurt by trolls online, but all this feels weird and bad. I don't like it.
I know that I'm going to keep posting my thoughts again eventually; I think I'm probably physically incapable of shutting up. My thoughts just bounce around in there driving me nuts if I don't get them out. I keep telling myself that there's a significant amount of people who do like me and do like my work and don't feel the need to send me mean comments, I reiterate, for fucking months. Sometimes that does make me feel better, and so did this ask.
idk. I'm just feeling very tired rn. Sorry to be so whiny but I'm just. Really tired. I don't know. I wish I could keep food down. I'm sure that would help my mood. But there's a lot of things I wish, I guess, and all I can really do is curl up with this heating pad and watch people build houses or something.
(...I find watching things getting built to be very soothing. lmao)
Anyway, kind of sucks when your comfort show that you usually turn to when you're stressed is one of the sources of your stress! :')

So… I was trying to watch the episodes in order, but I was missing Adrinette too much so I caved. I loved Perfection, but I think Protection has made me feel sad in a way no episode of the show ever had before, because of the senti theory hints. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always been against the senti theory at least for Adrien (not only because it didn’t make sense to me, but also because I think Adrien has plenty of trauma already). The senti theory possibly being canon now, and therefore meaning that Adrien doesn’t have (or rather has never had) free will is too heartbreaking for me and I don’t know how to cope with this. I guess him getting hold of his amok could solve the problem, but knowing people think Emotion confirmed the theory and that I still have to watch that and possibly more episodes of Gabriel controlling him… idk. It’s so disheartening for me and it feels very messed up. It was bad enough when we knew of Gabriel’s abusive ways as a parent without using magic, but Adrien being a senti would add a whole other (really dark) layer to that abuse that, at least at the moment, I don’t know if I could cope with. I also can’t help but feel the writers are either jumping on the bandwagon by confirming the theory, or massively trolling us (since Adrien has disobeyed his dad before). I don’t know. The show has always been a big source of comfort for me, and I think the senti theory being true would change people’s perception of the entire show, even the earlier, more light-hearted seasons. I never thought there would be something in canon that could make me consider leaving, but right now I don’t know if I could ever cope with SentiAdrien being real without always feeling sad when watching the show. I guess I’m just feeling hopeless? Maybe disappointed? I don’t know. Sorry for the rant, I just needed to get this off my chest somewhere. (If you think there’s any hope on any of this, that the writers won’t handle the abuse insensitively or that he actually has free will in a way please let me know lol would def appreciate finding the silver lining in this whole situation)
So, I can offer you my perspective on it and let you decide how you feel.
For me, I was never crazy about the senti theory either just because I'm not convinced the show is set up in a way to do it justice just from the show formula as well as the rating. Child abuse is kind of a big heavy topic with a lot of big implications and impacts. So like that topic alone is already heavy enough without introducing magical slavery into it as well. Plus all of the implications of sentihumans and the way sentimonsters have been treated up until this point in the show. It's like time travel, introducing it just makes things messy. Especially because the creator has said if a senti was created as a human there is no real difference between a senti and a human, so to me it's like what is the point then?
That being said, I went through a stint of being incredibly critical of the writing, and I do still think the writing leaves a lot to be desired at times. But I've more or less just accepted the show for what it is at this point. Call it suspension of disbelief if you want, but I'm just along for the ride at this point. I'm super happy with the Adrinette development this season, even amidst the senti business and creepy eugenics business Gabriel and Tomoe have going on with Adrien and Kagami because I know Marinette and Adrien will end up together in the end, and that's all I want. That's why I'm here, it's what I signed up for.
The way I have found to cope with all of canon's shortcomings or things I'm not fond of is just writing fic. That's what fic is for. And not even from a salty pov, but fic and fandom has always had this ability to say, "okay, but what if this happened instead?" I personally never use the senti theory in my writing and probably never will, even if it's 100% confirmed on screen. And that's my prerogative. I have my own version of the show that I use for my writing purposes, and in my personal version that theory doesn't exist. Canon be damned.
I think my salt stint years ago kind of tired me out, so now I've drastically lowered my expectations for the show, which is just a result of my fandom experiences. For me, so long as the kiddos get to smooch and be together in the end, idc what else happens. But that's my personal approach to the show at this point. The sentitheory originally left a bad taste in my mouth too, but having been in the fandom as long as I have, I've had plenty of time to become...numb to it, I suppose. I know I don't have to include it in my fan works, so that helps. Idk if that's helpful to you at all, but I find that it has helped me.
Overall, I'd say wait and see how it's handled. I always take any spoiler or leak or promo with an air of skepticism because often times those things are intentionally misleading. To me, the sentitheory is only as good as the way it's handled, so my ultimate opinion of it will come if and when they decide to rip the bandaid and confirm it on screen. I know wait and see is painfully annoying advice to receive lol. But just know that it's okay to not like everything the show does. That's a very normal way to consume media. And it sucks when you devote time to a thing and something in it eventually turns you off, but unfortunately that is always a risk with any type of media. It's okay to outgrow things.
If you want to stick with ML, I'd advise you to ask yourself what you want out of the show. For me, I just want the kiddos to be happy and in love, so I'm okay with whatever else so long as that happens. Everyone has things they want out of canon, so you have to figure out where your boundaries are. What do you hope to see? What can you accept if it happens, even if you don't care for it? Where is the line that will make you say okay, no, I'm done here? Explore your options, consider how you would feel if your worst fears were true and sit with that. Process it and come to terms with it. Figure out a way to cope with it. That's the main way I got through it. 🤷‍♀️ The way I cope is through writing, but if that's not your bag maybe it's reading or drawing or coming up with headcanons. Maybe it's hanging with friends and talking about the things you enjoy rather than the things you hate. Find whatever works for you and roll with it.
Dunno if that helps at all. I wish I could tell you it's all gonna be fine, but we just have to wait and see.

WARNING❗️❗️ talks about drugs, abuse, trauma, mental health and drinking❗️❗️❗️❗️
probably unpopular opinion and I do not condone the shit that this person does or the way they act but I dont know why everyone genuinely hates JoJo Siwa, if you couldn't tell from the dance moms reunion she has some repressed trauma that she doesn't want to talk about.
It is really hard to live with any type of trauma but Abby treated that girl like shit and she said it was what made her better.
All of this crazy, annoying shit is a cry for help. In my opinion (which can be totally wrong i just need to rant after see the jojo c*ke thing)
She's trying so hard to be something she's not and she's drinking, being implusive, doesn't really care but then gets mad when people boo her, plus the new drug thing popping up
I know people in my life with repressed trauma and I know it is incredibly difficult for alot of people with trauma to be oh i do have that, the way i treated was bad, usually because the abuser gives them something or even scares them into the victim wanting to protect the abuser. But this isnt something they do consciously because they dont want to get better but usually because they feel like they have nothing to complain about because someone else has had it 'worse', when trauma and mental health should never ever be I am worse off than you, its hard for everyone who deals with it whether its a little bit anxiety and depression or borderline and ocd
which is usually unhealthly numbed by alcohol or drugs
And to anyone who says Abby Lee Miller didn't abuse those kids has not watched dance moms.
Just stop feeding in to it, stop being a bully so many people have bullied her over the years and you really think that doesn't fuck up someone psyche?
She was a CHILD when she the most successful and if you havent seen the repercussions of child actors or stars then do your research and become more informed before writing something awful about someone.
AGAIN I am not saying the public drinking, the cringey music, etc is okay, because its not. But she is damaging herself so much more than she is harming anyone else (from what i am aware of) But to be aware of all the those children who did look up to her and the damage this might cause BUT it still isnt completely on Jojo bc parents should be aware and proceed with caution. Like i said ik someone with repressed trauma and I am constantly hurt by this person so i created distance and healthy boundaries.
And to the people who are just trolling her to troll her literally fuck off and get a life.
WHAT IS THE POINT IN MAKING SOMEONES LIVE MISERABLE OR TREATING SOMEONE LIKE SHIT?!
But I am also autistic so I really do not understand the social construct of why people actively bully or harrass someone bc unless I am out of control I would never want to hurt someone else bc Ik what it feels like to be treated like shit and no one else should feel that no matter who they are
Can we just hope she gets better? Can we stop thinking ALL of this is for media attention, (Ik alot of it is) or so we take her more seriously but the latter isnt happening but society needs to stop feeding into toxic behavior especially with someone who was a role model for so many young girls
What I am trying to say is I am aware of the factors but at this point its not funny anymore, a rumor going around that you are doing c*o*ine isnt funny or a joke. I know we can't control her or make her do anything but if you dont give something attention most of the time it goes away or the person does something else to get attention (which hopefully will be tad bit healthier) or she might keep popping up like a cockroach- Idk if this is real or not but even if it is all for attention the way she is getting it is concerning and shouldnt be a joke or something you want to know more about.
But I do know that the media is hungry to watch young women fail because it has literally always been that way but why are women that are aware that something is wrong, okay with this?
Ignore this if it's completely wrong again i needed to rant bc i felt bad when i saw a post about the c*ke
Omg i think i had a few mood swings there

Idk it seems ciscentered, trans excluding to treat “male mice” like a coherent thing — rather than some construct we assign to them like how we assign it with amab people — and then further to conflate 2 male mice together as being yaoi and gay… it reinforces being “male” (amab) as a biological thing not something to do with gender and identity.
I don't know if you are a mutual or follower who has just never seen the post before or I'm just a person out of 31.1k reblogs that post had that you are sending this message to over and over. But I would truly love to know exactly how you wanted a news article that is trying to have the catchiest headline phrase this in a way that was more trans-inclusive for the mice. Sure the language isn't the best, but it gets the point across in the shortest amount of words knowing that not a lot of people will actually read or click for the whole thing.
However thanks for this message cause I went back and did actually find the article to fully read it. And yeah it is thinking of cis couples with no chromosomal issues or abnormalities. On good news for you most likely this won't be available for humans until minimum of ten years so you have ten years to figure out the best language for scientists to use to address same sex couples that both carry XY chromosomes and want to have a child that is both of theirs genetically. Especially in advertising. I believe in you!!
That being said yeah a lot of biological science isn't very trans-inclusive in their terminology mainly because its a shorthand to get a concept out to the populous that they will understand.
Honestly makes me think of the first time I was buying adapters for my computer and accidentally didn't realize what female and male parts for adapters were cause didn't even think about how some people would need to connect two different male-ending cables together and ended up with a cord that had a female (place to plug in) c place and HDMI place. Not helpful. And the female/male thing confused me for a little bit before I realized it was literally a reference off of sex.
Now I think of that Anti-gay poster from Australia with the seatbelts. Would it be great if cables had a different term? Yeah but I can't think of one right now.
-But I digress just brain is making silly connections.
Though I do want to point out that the link you sent isn't even the post I reblogged. Cause I specifically reblogged one that had the wonderful addition: "Mpreg (Mouse Pregnancy)" which in my mind is the most important part of that post.
It made me laugh so I reblogged.
Will be honest should I have responded to your message? No probably not, most likely you are a troll or someone that I really don't want to get into an internet debate with. But even more I love responding to people in general. I am a person who will pick up spam calls. I sincerely hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for helping me procrastinate my writing!
Next time maybe talk to me off anon so we can keep going?
