#idk what I'm doing anymore and I'm trying to make these better quality sorry

[bambi-kinos]

Why do you think Paul keeps saying to this day that John was really sweet. He really wasn't. He treated everyone like shit including Paul. Because he feel he has to? Because he was killed and people made him into something he wasn't? I don't blame John for this ). Or but because he was in love with him and that's what he remembers. John doesn"t deserve it. He's even overrated. Both P and G was/is better. I just don't get how someone like Paul who's a better man, artist and person keeps giving J so much credit. I'm not a new fan of the Beatles or Paul. I really can only see it that he was in love with him.

What else is Paul supposed to do?

Idk man I think Paul is just doing his best with what he has. He's never going to get closure on their relationship. He's never going to get an explanation that satisfies him. So he has to work with what he's got.

You have the wrong end of the stick on this, Paul isn't trying to give John credit that he hasn't earned. Paul is trying to move on from what John did to him by focusing on the good moments and remembering who John was before he was brain damaged by heroin and LSD. If your boyfriend has a TBI that changes his entire personality, is that really your boyfriend anymore? Is he really still himself? These are the questions Paul has wrestled with and it looks like he's realized he's never going to get an answer.

So he's focusing on what he does know which is that the John he knew and fell in love with was a sweet kid who sometimes let his insecurities rule him. But he was still a loving person who cared about Paul and was his closest friend for years.

Furthermore: if John was actually the raging dickhead that the internet thinks he is then he would not have had any friends to begin with. People with truly no redeeming characteristics who are assholes all the time don't get friends who defend them even after they die. The truth is that John was not actually a prick all of the time. Otherwise no one could have stood being around him. Paul calls John sweet because he knew the John that was a sweet guy, the guy that Paul loved.

You're also falling for John's own propaganda a bit. John never stopped projecting the image of being a cynical hard bitten street tough that intimidated everyone into submission with his temper. John occasionally admitted that all of this was an act (see his comments at playacting the Teddy Boy image while not actually being a gang member and why he felt he had to do it.)

But the truth is he never stopped projecting the "I'm an asshole you better not fuck with me" thing. All of this "I'm an irredeemable asshole I hate George and Paul!!!" is pure fakery. The very qualities you don't like were fabricated in large part by Yoko as part of a propaganda campaign, and from what I've read in the Dakota Years memoirs, this propaganda was out of John's control from the moment he started the Lennon Remembers interviews. John is just as much a victim of information warfare as Paul is, he just reacted to it differently and used it to barricade himself away from Paul.

That doesn't mean you have to like John or feel sorry for him or agree with Paul's decisions to try and leave the damage behind. You are reacting to the fact that Paul is visibly in pain when he talks about this stuff. He's bleeding in public and there's nothing no one can do to help him. The wounds are permanent. It is, in fact, rage inducing. John isn't here to speak for himself and try to explain. What else can we do as observers except be angry.

But Paul McCartney is 82 years old.

He's close to the end.

He doesn't want to do that, doesn't have time for it, doesn't want to spend his last years rehashing this shit.

Is there an alternative for him? All he can do now is try to make peace with it while he's alive and then he can finally get closure with John when he moves on to the next stop.

Paul doesn't call John 'sweet' for the sake of John's image. He does it to remind himself of the boy he fell in love with in 1957. Because he doesn't have a lot of time left and he wants to spend it being in love with John, not being angry at him. Paul is doing this for Paul. Simple as.

The Unspoken Words

Lewis Hamilton X Reader

Genre: idk man

Warnings: suggestive(?), angst(?)

Word Count: 1.4K+

Author's Note: idk what to think of this. I think the idea in my head was better than the actual product. honestly I'm just gonna put this up for now, but if it doesn't get like 200 notes in the next three days, then imma delete it.

update; it got 200+ notes in three days, so I guess it's staying up

-----------------------------

The unspoken words of an almost relationship; 

“Just to be clear, we’re…” 

“Friends,” you said calmly, with an all too knowing smile.  

Lewis smirked at you.  “Hmm, you weren’t saying that last night,” he says before walking away.  Lewis was many things, but above all he knew how to be discrete.  A quality that you were ever so grateful for.  

-

“Just stay for the night,” 

“Just stay with me for a little longer tonight.”  Lewis clings tightly to you, even if it’s only for a moment longer.  One day, you won’t try to leave in the middle of the night, and Lewis hopes that day comes soon. 

“We both know I shouldn’t do that.” 

“No one will know,” Lewis says, as he pulls you closely to him in the bed.  You can’t help but allow your eyes to close.  Just for one more night, you’ll stay. 

“No one has to know that you like being with me, I won’t tell anyone if that means you stay longer,” Lewis wants to say.  He knows he’s getting attached; too attached. 

-

“Congratulations on the podium,” you say, as you and him walk side by side towards the hotel elevators. 

Lewis smirked, “Do you want to help me celebrate tonight?” 

“I thought you’d never ask,” you say as you begin to unbutton the blouse you were wearing. 

-

“Lewis look at this,” you say, shoving your phone in his direction.  At the worst timing ever you get a text notification from your partner back home. 

“y/n,” Lewis says with a tone you can’t place. 

“I’m sorry.” 

You’re trying to say, “I’m sorry, that I fell in love with you when I’m already in a relationship with someone else.  I’m sorry that I’m willing to hurt you to protect them.” 

-

“I told you before, this is not something serious Lewis.” 

“If I had met you first, If I had known you first, If you were here first, this wouldn’t be happening right now.  I wish I waited for you, but now is too late,” you heart tries to free itself from your mind, but you refuse to allow it.  Your mind keeps your heart locked away, to protect it from itself. 

“Why can’t we change it to be serious?” 

“Why can’t you let me love you?  Let me love you out loud.  Let me show you what it means to love and be loved.  Let me be in love with you.  Please.”  Lewis wants nothing more than to love you, how you deserve to be loved.  He would give anything in this moment to love you.  

-

“I don’t want to fight anymore,” Lewis said, a few days after the initial fight. 

“I will stop asking for more, If I can love you for a second more.”  Lewis gives up on the possibility of something real.  He gives up on loving you out loud.   He lets go of something serious, if that means you will be with him for another second. 

“It wasn’t a fight,” you offer him a smile, “it was a heated conversation” 

“Thank you for not making me choose.”  

“If that’s what you want to call it,” he says with a smile as well. 

“It is what I want to call it.”  It’s time to let him go, but you’re not ready. 

“Let me pretend for a little longer, that this isn’t becoming serious.” 

-

“Oh just like that,” you can’t help but moan out.  You can hear Lewis scoff at you. 

-

“I have to go,” you say to Lewis as he watches you pack your things.  “Toto is sending me back to the factory.” 

“For how long?” 

“Just a couple weeks,” you smirk at Lewis, “I’ll be back.” 

“I’m going to come back to you, because I’m not ready to let you go.  I know it’s selfish for me to expect you to wait around for me.  But that's what I want you to do.  I want you to wait for me just a little longer.  Wait for me just for a moment more.  And then I’ll let you go.”  It's about time you let Lewis go, you force him to stop loving you, but not right now.  Not this exact moment.  You want him to be yours for just one more second. 

“Good.” 

-

“I’m gonna extend my time at the factory,” you speak into the phone to Lewis. 

“You said you were going to come back,” 

“You told me you were going to be back, and I waited for you.  I will wait for you; so long as you tell me you’re coming back.  I will continue to wait for you, just tell you’re going to come back.  That you’re going to come back to me.  You tell me that, and I will wait.  I will wait as long as it takes.”  Lewis wants to wait, he wants to wait for you to come back to him.  

“I am going to come back, just not as soon as I thought.” 

“Wait for me, for a little longer.  Please.” 

-

“God, I missed you,” Lewis says, as he sees you waiting outside his hotel room. “When did you get here?” 

“A few hours ago,” you say, revealing the luggage behind you. 

“Let’s get inside,” Lewis opens the hotel room door for you. 

-

“Oh this is perfect,” you praise. 

“Just for you.” 

“Everything I do is for you.  I wait, I long, I live, I breathe for you.  All I have done and will do, are for you.  Because I love you.  Because I am in love with you.”  Lewis hopes that in another life he will get to say all the unspoken words of this moment to you.  

-

“y/n, you’re getting a call,” Lewis calls to you, while you’re in the shower.  

“Who is it?” 

“It’s them.” He says it with the same tone that you can’t place. 

“Why?  Why do I do this to myself?  Why do I continue to love you, when you don’t mind hurting me to protect them?  How can you hurt me like this, again?  How can you do this to me?  Why do I let you do this to me?”  Lewis knows that you aren’t willing to hurt them.  He doesn’t understand why you continue to protect them.  Maybe in another lifetime, you can hurt them to be with him.  

“Oh,” you stop for a second, “just leave it. I’ll take care of it.” 

“I’m sorry.” 

-

“I don’t want to do this anymore,” Lewis says, as the two of you sit across from each other in the hotel room, half-dressed. 

“I love you, but I don’t love this.  I don’t love the secrets.  I don’t love the pain.  I don’t love how you’re not mine.  I don’t love that you can hurt me easily.  I don’t love that you met me second.  I don’t love this.  I love you.”  Lewis thinks that in another lifetime, he won’t have to say all the unspoken words to you.  He wants some unspoken words to remain unspoken. 

“I know,” you say truthfully, “you want something serious.” 

“You deserve something serious, and I wish I could do that for you, but I can’t.” 

“And you’re trying to get away from something serious.” 

“You told me.  You told me you didn’t want this to be serious.  I knew what I was getting myself into.” 

“It was fun though.” 

“I loved every minute with you.  I’m sorry for all the pain I caused you, but I would do it all again.  I would put you through all the pain again, just to feel an ounce of your love.  I’m being selfish again, but I love you too.  In another life, find me first.  Find me first, so that I can be with you first, so that this won’t ever happen again.  In another life, let me meet you first.”  In another life you want the unspoken words to remain unspoken, but you want to say all the unspoken feelings of this moment. 

“If you change your mind about something serious, you can call me,” Lewis offers. 

“Tell me to wait for you.  Tell you’re going to come back to me.  Tell me that, and I will wait.  I will always wait for you, just tell me you’re going to come back to me.  Just one more time, tell me you’re coming back and I will wait.”  Lewis asks for you to give him hope.  He wants you to give him hope that things can change.  

“Don’t wait around for me, Lewis.” 

-

“Now we’re just…” Lewis speaks up, when he sees you leaving the hotel.  

“We’re just people that used to know each other,” you say, as the taxi to take you to the airport pulls up.  “Goodbye Lewis.” 

“Goodbye y/n.”

Project "Who are you" has begun.

Everyone say hi to JJ, who jumped on my lap just as I was running out of thread and about to get up for more, so I had to write this post and let her cuddle instead of disturbing her. Thanks JJ

If you're wondering why the stitches on the two cuffs are so different in quality, it's because I thought it would be funny to use my left hand for one and my right hand for the other. Because you don’t get better without trying.

I'm answering the challenge prompt of "tell us something about you" by stealing one of my dad's ratty jean jackets from the scrap heap and added visible mending and patches and making it my own.

Project task list (under cut):

[Summary so you don't have to click read more: brainstorming ideas, turning those ideas into a prioritized to-do list, getting weirdly existential (if that's even the right philosophy) and rambling. Somehow it is now after midnight??? GOODNIGHT]

Put "MAKE BAD ART" big on the back. Optional: "What is bad art? I think that would be art that nobody likes, and I don't think that exists" small around the MAKE BAD ART (and now I'm driving myself crazy bc I could SWEAR that's paraphrasing a quote about "bad music" by Vampire Weekend frontman Ezra Koenig and I can't find evidence of the original???) Optional bc 1. There probably is art that nobody likes. Not even the artist. 2. That's... not how I would define bad art. 3. Kinda undermines the message of MAKE BAD ART ?

DIY folk-punk band patches. I know the bands I want to do, you'll find out if and when I make them. I feel fairly confident that the bands would be cool with me making my own patches, because I'm never going to see these bands in concert because most of them don't even exist anymore! And also DIY is very punk rock. Anyways I know I like their music and their band names, but I want to do some background research before I commit to putting them on the jacket. Just in case they're idk secretly Republicans or something (lmao unlikely)

Lots and lots of structural mending. Pretty much every hem is split at the fold of the fabric. There's holes (some still have the warp threads, and I can use those as a guide for new woven patches right? I guess I'll fuck around and find out)

"What's more punk than the public library" patch

It would be extremely funny to pair my iron on Sagittarius patch with one that says "Myers Briggs types are horoscopes for people who think they're too smart for horoscopes"

I gotta make a "I put the BI in ambiguous" patch. I GOTTA. Less for me than as warning for other people. If you're attracted to me that makes you queer. Sorry.

Crying Club member patch. (Inside joke from art school, also it's cool to express your emotions)

??? More embellishments as I think of them/ find time and space to fit them in. Like flowers n shit. Oh hell yeah pansies!!! Little shisha mirror or just shiny sequins? (Is it cultural appropriation to put shisha mirrors...) A little black cat (Kitty Genovese...) A wolf (Anaïs Mitchell's song Tailor "and no one taught me how to cry who am I how to cry for what I wanted in the night who am I? Who am I) Heart on my sleeve! 4-H motto of learn to do by doing.

Brainstorming ideas: fast. Turning ideas into reality: slow as hell. Brainstorm big dreams and then figure out the easiest way of making them come true. For instance, I already hate how many of my patches are word based (despite how much I love words). Can I convey the same ideas using images? Should I play around with linoblock, will that give a better result than hand embroidering words? Is linoblock any faster than embroidering, if you're only intending on making 1 single print?

Okay prioritizing the to-do list:

The MAKE BAD ART. Probably as a patchwork patch (to pay homage to my mother's quilting) and also so I can unstitch it and move it around later. But it's the central thesis of my answer to the challenge, and since it's about a week until the meeting where we're supposed to show and share I need to get something done. Subtasks: a) measure jacket back b) source fabrics for patch c) draft design on patch backing d) fuck it, machine sew appliqué. I don't have time to hand sew this one. e) handsew the patch onto the jacket though! I don't know where the denim needles for my sewing machine are, and I want these stitches to be easily altered. Also that sexy sexy DIY aesthetic

The structural repairs. This jacket is WORN OUT. No subtasks because if I start cataloging how much work this is going to take I'm gonna cry.

Before making any patch designs, making an overall design plan. Figuring out size and placement, colours and composition. ART. But also not stressing too much about making it perfect because the whole point is MAKE BAD ART! And there's at least two other ragged jean jackets that I could fuck around with, even if this one fits me the best.

Oh god this jacket is going to be a STATEMENT. Several statements that hopefully make a cohesive whole. "What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets". Or maybe a slap dash happy collage of interests and aspirations and jokes. "Full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" hmm okay maybe there is some essential core of humanity and all these frivolous fripperies are vanities of vanities but like. I'm not stripping my soul bare for an art prompt for a group of people I barely know? Maybe answering the question of "who are you" with a smoke and mirrors show of things that I want you to think of me reveals a fundamental insecurity and empty hollowness inside but idk man, the way in which I choose to answer a question is part of the answer?

Wait hang on didn't I learn a theory in a psychology class that identity is formed by relationships. I am who I am in relation to YOU. Is that why I'm struggling with the prompt of "who are you" so much?! "Who are you"- what are you, a cop? Who wants to know. Who are YOU. So yeah, I feel good about answering the question by including bits of where I came from (like literally, my family. My dad's jeans/ genes) and by fostering connections into the future by symbolic things that people can connect to. It's a conversation starter. It's the mortifying ordeal of being known, baby!

[unintentionalseductress]

Hey Ray, how are you? I've read about your flu recently. I'm very sorry and I hope you get better soon. Have a fast recovery, ok?

Regarding confessions, I have nothing much to say. I think other anons already mentioned lots of valid points. Sure- porn fics are obv exaggerated, characters get mischaracterized and ships get pushed down out throats all the time but hey, that's just an average fandom experience, right?

So I'm trying to ignore/filter all the negativity and allow only good, quality content on my dash. Unfortunately, the content is few and not many appreciate writers and artists here on Tumblr. So it's for the best if they'd just change platforms and try their luck somewhere else that offers more positive interaction/involvement. I miss Tumblr reblog culture and nice feedback on dif stories/art. Nothing is the same anymore...

Regarding mischaracterization- it's not a problem to headcanon things, in fact, to each their own. But it's a problem when people openly accept headcanon as canon and unapologetically fight others over inaccurate opinions. It's so beyond me. And the funniest thing- it's mostly minors. Can we get rid of the minors in for-them-inappropriate fandom spaces pls? Tumblr staff where you at?

I noticed that fans of less popular characters are more fun. I'm not that big into Choso you see, but his fans made the whole fandom experience so much more enjoyable. And I don't think that Mahito fans are weird if you compare Toji smut fics (I'm not calling out people but I'm calling out people). Sukuna fans I'm looking at you too...

I'm forever grateful for Nanami, Higuruma, Kusakabe and Shiu quartet. Gege, thank you for feeding us while it lasted. The fics are divine and I understand why Shoko didn't see the appeal in stsg, like girl I get you.

I'll come out and say it- stsg is overrated. And jjk girls deserve more content that isn't ship-oriented.

I think Gege needs to make up his mind because Yuta and Yuji can't exist as two mains at once. Everyone is taking away Yuji's spotlight, but they're dying and dying until nobody's left except Yuji... I don't know how jjk will end.

I miss Yuki and Todo's dynamic and all the funny stuff, I wish jjk was a comedy fr... Gege is writing an idol manga after this one so I can't wait for the things he has in store for us!

Hello! Thank you for your concern about my cold. Honestly, with all of you wishing me to get better, I'm recovering a little faster! 💜💜💜

I agree with mischaracterization, but imo, unless a mangaka explicitly states something, then a fictional character is always subject to having HC's being formed about them depending on the writer. What gets problematic though, is when fans of a writer start looking at those HC's as an actual canon, and now they're picking fights/sending hate to other creators who have different opinions.

Fans of less popular characters tend to be more chill from what I've seen. They just want to talk about their faves and have a good time, and are less bothered with what could be canon or not. They have their HC's and are open to hearing different ones too.

I feel like JJK gave us this genre of 'tired men in suits' which is very appealing, even to us older girlies who are in the same age range as these men.

Stsg being overrated...imo I don't feel that way. I think they had great potential as a couple and I'm filled with sadness at the thought that they didn't catch Suguru's spiral when it happened. I can see them with heterosexual partners too, but I love the concept of Stsg.

The JJK women definitely need content not surrounding ships or smut. Something more action-related or just let her shine in her own right in a fic.

IDK what'll happen going forward...The story is supposed to center on Yuji but it feels like he's constantly being pushed aside. I hope things resolve soon but it looks like Sukuna might win after all this. I'm just sad thinking about it.

I miss the slice of life feel to the story as well but what can ya do...Gege is the mangaka, so he'll do what he wants. But if he brings back Nanami I ain't complaining lol.

Thank you for your confession!

[1d1195]

Wait omg Love and Dryer sheets came to you in a dream??(idk if you mentioned this before and if you did I’m sorry😭) also the fact you’ve written many by starting in the middle is so crazy but in a good way! I don’t think my own brain could comprehend that but for some reason it makes sense lol love learning about your writing process!!

I do love reading your descriptions! It’s like little commentary and I find it cute! Though I cannot lie if I get too excited I just go straight in even avoiding content warnings lol I have my own qualms about TikTok and the music industry BUT I will say it is a helpful tool for both users and artists due to how it does help with reaching a variety of people! Also tbh idk what young people(I know I’m young but I’m very offline lol) are listening to these days so I can’t imagine the out of pocket recommendations you may have gotten from them😭

You know I would be surprised if you weren’t buried with 1D merch and honestly I love that for you!

Also I can see how the number of posts you make can add a bit of pressure despite you knowing you prefer quality! I do think it’s hard not to compare yourself so it’s not something you can easily switch off. Though I hope remember that you constantly give out so much quality content that it’s okay to not be constantly putting out so much!

I genuinely didn’t remember about the long weekend 😭 but omg I hope the rest of the week wasn’t as messy as Monday! And yeah we are so close but idk girl I’m barley hanging in there😭

It’s truly wild what’s been going on over here but really all we can do it just stay informed and help in any small way we can! I’ve already planned on donating a bunch of clothes so I just gave them to local organizations for LA! But thank you for being so sweet and checking up on me💕

I remember! I think the last I asked it was basically the same color lol but there’s nothing wrong with that! Blue is your fave color(if I’m wrong I’m sorry 😭) so it’s very fitting to get some form of blue on your nails! And honestly your sister is right BUT I saw get them done! It’s always fun to feel pampered!

This week was not smoother but alas it’s over lol shit went down on campus this week and I almost got ran over twice! Crazy but I’m not as fazed anymore lol

Okay bestie I’m gonna try to make this quick(lowkey never happens) but I LOVED THE EXTRAS YOU GAVE THIS WEEK!!! Didn’t expect to get extras for these two stories but it was definitely a nice surprise! For independent it was soooo sweet! I love them and I love how they are just taking their time despite the long wait lol but omg my girl needs better boundaries, I deeply feel for her since I have been in the same situation 😭 anywayssss I’m glad Harry is subtly helping her with that!! He’s so sweet and reassuring and I love that for her!!! And omg two negatives… BESTIE I FEEL SO EDGED AND TEASED😭WDYM YOU ENDED IT THERE?!? lowkey it’s a very “Sam style” ending so idk why I’m surprised lol BUT OF COURSE I STILL LOVE IT! Also omg she said I love you first😭 I love that for them! I expected Harry to say it first but omg I feel like it’s more special for her especially with vulnerability being something that’s a bit hard!! Once again I love them bad!!! Really enjoyed reading them!!

Wishing you to have the best weekend! Hopefully you can get some relaxation in especially after a busy week! Love you lots Sam!!-💜

Love and Dryer Sheets as well as Ding both were from dreams. They were quick and I STRUGGLE to remember my dreams so when I woke up I was CLINGING to the inspo. Starting in the middle is the hardest. I think I struggle with endings (hence why you felt I left it unfinished for Two Negatives this week 🤭) I feel like I spent all this time writing the background and middle pieces I get to the end and I'm like "I don't want this to be done" so I just try to leave it all open (but usually end with an I love you) you know? So I can come back.

Idk what young people are listening to either. I try to get them to tell me ANYTHING about themselves but everything is a secret to them. The recommendations they've given me mostly include people I already know. But my older students have a bit more success than the younger ones. I added Frank Ocean to one of my playlists as well as some songs I heard on TikTok but didn't recognize until they told me about it. I would say the descriptions and commentary are mainly unnecessary most of the time; I of course always want to put content warnings, but everything else is probs just more of my stream of consciousness which is usually not needed lol, I'm glad you like it!

Ma'am you don't even KNOW how much 1D merch I have it's BAD.

I lowkey keep forgetting about the long weekend too. I'm hoping to read a book and clean and that might be all I get done this week. I had a pretty shitty week at school. I don't think it's a secret that teaching is difficult right now and this week seemed to be extra disheartening.

That's so kind you donated clothes. I love that! I seriously can't imagine what people are going through out there. To your point it's winter and it shouldn't be happening right now. It's so scary to think that it's only the beginning of the year :( God it's so horrible. I'm so glad you're okay 💕

Blue is my favorite! I don't remember when I got my nails done before this time but it's been a LONG while. If i had to bet, it was probs like right as school started and I did a royal blue color. I will do my toes sometime soon. I'm pretty basic there too. I'll probs do black with sparkles lol.

RAN OVER TWICE SO CASUAL. I used to hope someone would hit me with their car so I could get a break. I'm sorry to hear this week wasn't smoother. I hope you have Monday off so you can relax a little more!

Poppy and boundaries are nonexistent (she is me). I struggle to say no to people. Even my fave student pointed it out ☠️ like EVERYONE knows. I LOVE this Harry so so much. I think he's so sweet and just so concerned. 🥰 he makes me melt and maybe I'm biased because I wrote him that way but he's dreamy

EDGED AND TEASED 😭 I have part of their first time written already but it's like the middle part and if you see the discussion above it's hard to write like the beginning and end so I really gotta think. This whole extra was just to buy me some time before I write the next extra (a month or two maybe if I'm lucky lol) As much as I love Harry in Independent I think I love her so much in Two Negatives. She's vulnerable in a way that's not always seen and Harry is just so good to her even though he's annoying hehehehe. I'm glad you liked both so much!

Tell me about your week and anything fun you have planned ❤️ hope you're having a good weekend!!!

xoxo

Harry Osborn HCs by me >:]

Keep in mind that this is for TSSM Harry

Love that lil' guy. Also sorry for formatting I'm on my phone and I don't make posts much anyway lmao. ANYWAY.

- he's Trans!!! FTM (He/him) thank you v much and of course Norman got him the best/most expensive surgeries possible because him being an Ally is TSSM Norman's one redeeming quality and it's not even canon.

- after the explosion inside the helicopter at the end if S2, Harry is mostly deaf (mainly on his right side) and has to wear hearing aids to be able to hear anything more than muffled noise (uhh apologies if i got that wrong please correct me I'm trying to do better at just knowing stuff)

-He's gay (closeted), and at the point in S2 probably doesn't understand/realise yet... Everyone just kinda knows (including Gwen), and Flash and his group tease him for it, He's still oblivious though.

- Even though he just uses he/him pronouns he doesn't care what he wears, whether it's a dress or a full suit or anything. Because fuck gender roles. I do what i want.

- all of this is so focused in Gender + sexuality well NOT ANYMORE he loves to cook but cannot bake for shit. He just doesn't get it. His cooking is delicious however.

-He will probably grow his hair out a bit/experiment with it after Norman is gone, it's not unusual to see old pictures of him with long curly hair, shaved, with a fade, undercuts, pattern shaves ect ect ect. They all look really good on him because i said so. He doesn't dye his hair at all.

- let this boy have Therapy. Capital T Therapy. After Norman "dies" he gets counseling to help him with his grief and the councilor is just 'get this poor boy some full time therapy'

-He gets some tutors in and starts to work towards business school- he wants to fix the corruption in Oscorp before anything else. Yes it's not stated there's full corruption but c'mon it was run by Norman Osborn.

- It takes quite a few years, but eventually Oscorp is run by a good board of directors (is that the right thing??? Idk group of people who run the company lol) who report to Harry for executive decisions.

-Part of the proceeds from Oscorp go to many different charities. Kind of getting off topic from Harry here pfft

-After he can do his own thing, he opens up the Café (Coffee bean Café- I'm being serious there's an Harry Osborn who owned a Café in the comics, Raimi and Tasm! fans who don't know™. It's awesome) and uses the apartment above as a safehouse for abuse victims.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk. I got very off topic. Hope yall liked it at least :)

Please let me know if I've written anything wrong/offended someone in someway. I'm just not v smart and I'm always open to critism.

Considering I keep having... issues... with Doogie Kamealoha, I might as well be prepared to make another post about Episode 5

And I really just want to say, before I continue, these are entirely on the creative team. I am fine with the actors. I just... Look, I used to tolerate marginally ok tv in the past. Then I watched ABC's The Rookie. It got off to a pretty good start, better than any freshman show I had seen in a long time. However, the quality tanked at an exponential rate in the second second to the point where I couldn't even watch it anymore. And I think that shift - the good tv to bad tv - really had an impact on me being able to handle middle ground television. Like, for a couple episodes, The Rookie was middle ground, and it's just something about that progression that just broke me. So, I'm sorry my watching of shows is hypercritical. I really think it all started because I noticed all these little details cropping up in The Rookie before it shat on my soul with how bad it got, and now I have this trauma that I take out on other shows and all the little details I know I should ignore, but no long can.

Sorry for that long rant, on to episode five.

HOW DOES SHE NOT KNOW WHAT SHE MAKES?!

I know, I know, plot divide, stupid Disney show, I know.

Oh Randall Park is still on...oh wait, they are pronouncing Choi wrong. That's annoying, especially since Park is Korean. It's not like 'choy,' rhyming with Troy (but with a 'ch' like it chair instead of the Tr), it's more like - from my understanding - chway (the ch like in chair with the word "way" - at least that's as close as I can get it). Yeah. Anywho we shall continue.

God I hate his character. Glad he gets around though. And that he's playing a Korean character, even if the character's name is pronounced wrong.

Ma'am, those are not the pants to play basketball in.

It seemed to slam the stock market, and yet is also promoting the stock market? Umm...wtf is this?

Wonder if she really did those push-ups with the kid on her back or not.

Oh no, Doogie, what the fuck are you going to do?

Oh dear. I refuse to believe that she would be this dumb and inconsiderate with that level of intelligence. Like, I don't like this storyline at all. (But I guess they are trying to say trading stocks is bad and addictive?)

UHHH, THE MESSAGING HERE SHOULDN'T JUST BE "Your mom was going to use those shoes," IT SHOULD BE, "YOU SHOULDN'T SELL STUFF THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU!"!!!!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

OH. So...they go riding horses? Geezus this is stupid. Doogie isn't fixing her mistake, she's off riding horses to get the stock shoe trading out of her system while her BROTHERS take their mother to find new shoes she can wear to play basketball with her outgoing boss.

Like I get that the meaning with what she taught her boys this episode fits better to get her to cheer up and all that, but Doogie fucked up royally here and the messaging why (that she sold someone else's property) isn't actually being given and she isn't really facing any repercussions.

Might be the last episode I watch of this show. This is just awful.

Ok, they kind of maybe tried to touch on the selling other people's stuff for literally one sentence. Hard to tell. Still aren't emphasizing what they need to. And these speech by her dad don't seem to fit with stuff here.

Uhhh, what? So, the game was casual, but she got rewarded for being aggressive...I'm confused.

Again, lightly played lesson of "stole someone else's shoes". Ugh.

Concluding Thoughts:

Ugh. I just. I honestly think I haven't given up on this show yet because of the setting. And the hot mom. Like, I think that's all distracting me from certain off-ness going on. Might continue this show, might not. Idk.

They get to spend all of quarantine with their s/o (Monsta X)

Request : Hi!! Could you do an exo and/or Monsta x reaction to getting to spend all of quarantine with you?

Sorry I put in bullet points bc it's felt like it made more sense? Sorry if you didn't like that. I also included what y'all would do. Bc why not¿

Shownu :

Omg this precious little bear was beyond excited to spend quarantine

Like as soon as his manager said plans were cancelled until further notice he ran out of the practice room

"Y/n I'm staying with you during quarantine..."

"Oh. Aight"

Your guy's quarantine consisted of laying in bed from the moment you woke up till 4 pm

As well as making a lot of food

And taking baths bc social distancing who?

Leads to other things 34% if the time, bc why not??

And of course singing together and him teaching you how to dance to all the songs

Cooking with this dude, where do I start

100% chance of making a mess

Would knock over bowls of side dishes while trying to grab a towel to wipe his hands

Just smiled at you when the food is all over the ground

Talking to the other members over the phone during dinner so it was like you guys were all eating together

Taking food to the other members and leaving it on the doorstep

One time they came outside before he was able to run back to the car and he was convinced he was contaminated

"I wish we could stay like this forever, I love you so much y/n"

"I love you too, but can you let me go I have to pee really bad"

Your guy's quarantine would honestly be so fun

Minhyuk :

Would honestly act like he didn't want to spend time with you

"I guess I'm stuck with you"

"We can barely leave our house to get food?!"

"Ok, loser"

Was happy to spend time with you, but he wanted to actually do things with you like go to dinner

He just wanted to spend quality time with you

You guys would just lay in each other's arms everyday watching TV

Blinds closed letting no light in

The members would call you guys because after 3 days of nothing they were worried

"Oh we're fine, we've just been eating, sleeping and watching TV"

You guys would watch watch every variety show they have been on

You guys would try dying your hair by yourselves

"Y/n we need a new couch I just bought one"

\(-_-)/

You guys got erasable markers and literally drew on the wall

But they did not come off...

He would be kind of sad that he couldn't take you anywhere

But being the cutie he is he'd find ways to do cute date ideas at home

Jooheon :

"Guess what I'm coming home for quarantine!!!!"

Literally couldn't wait to hold you in his arms

Would cry when he came home, because he gets to spend time with you for who knows how long

You guys just hold each other and cry

Would follow you everywhere

If you went to get the mail he'd go with, if you needed to run to the store to get food, he's right by you

"Why is the door locked??? Y/n, you alive? Did corona get you???"

"Don't break the door down! I'm taking a bath"

"Ohhh, let me in!"

This little jerk picked the lock

You guys just sat in the tub for like 3 hours talking about what you should do during quarantine

Things you would do together during quarantine include sitting in the tub for 3 hours everyday

Calling his sister every day so he could talk to his cute niece

He would teach you all his rap parts from every song he could

You guys would send the members a goodie package every week with food and toiletries

Because he worried about them

You guys would take online dance class

Because why not???

Tango, Rumba, Foxtrot, Meringue

He would enjoy every minute with you

You're guys little vacation came to a halt when he fractured his fibula after falling down the stairs

He felt bad that you had to take care of him

But he was so grateful to have you by his side to help him

"Y/n you don't have to get up I can go to the kitchen to get a fork"

Could barely get off the couch

"Just please sit hear"

"So like you wanna bang?"

"No, I want you to get better"

After he got injured he just got so sad that he couldn't do anything with you really anymore

"I love you y/n"

"I love you too"

I.M :

He already was used to seeing you basically everyday

The only difference was you guys got to stay home

You guys didn't even have to change your schedule

He was grateful that he was able to wake up to you every morning tho

"Good morning, cutie"

"Why are you so close??"

Would be so nice the entire quarantine

Need him to wash your hair, just yell for him

Need something off the top shelf

He got it covered

There would be days where you guys just laid in bed the whole day though

You had online school throughout this time

"Y/n hang out with me!¡!¡"

"I'm doing homework for my English class"

"But I'm cuter than English class"

*insert pouty face*

Would try to get in your pants every other hour

You'd let him because ofc

"No, not now Changkyunnie..."

"Yes, now... Pleaseeeeee"

All the members would worry about you because you guys were the youngest and they thought you wouldn't take this seriously

Y'all did though, you only left the house for food

"Y/n am I cute?"

"No, now go to sleep"

"But I love you and I miss you"

"I'm right next to you and it's 3 am"

Bro. Idk why but this drained me I'm gonna write the exo one different bc I literally ran out of ideas of what to do doing quarantine.

[iamanartichoke]

Oh man.. I went to see endgame again and I want to like Thor in this movie I really do and am worried I'm a bad person for not but like, the tone feels all over the place with him, like the tragedy undercuts the humour but then the humour disrespects the tragedy. I can't get my head around this creative decision. What do you think?

First of all, you’re not a bad person for not liking Thor in this film. The negative reaction to how Thor is portrayed is pretty widespread, especially on Tumblr, and a lot of people share your opinion that his character was handled poorly. 

I ... *sighs* Here’s the thing. My immediate/general reaction was something like being stunned and second-hand embarrassed for Thor and really upset at the portrayal, because it really, really does feel like the narrative is framing Thor’s very real PTSD as a joke. Playing it up for laughs when there’s nothing funny about that level of loss and grief. 

I felt it was disrespectful, that it undermined not only Thor but those of us who suffer from mental illness and have unhealthy coping mechanisms. I felt like depression was being made fun of, like trauma was being made fun of, like weight gain/generally showing how far a person can sink into depression where they can’t take care of themselves was being made fun of. Furthermore, I have been especially furious that despite his trauma, Thor didn’t mention Loki even once, even when acknowledging literally everything else he’s lost besides Loki (family, Asgard, Jane). 

But. 

Everyone knows, because I have been obsessing about it for days, that I’ve discovered some really, really good during/post-Endgame Thor fic. Fic that manages to strike the balance between what we saw on-screen and what’s going on in Thor’s head. I have found fic that somehow manages to reconcile the two, showing how deep Thor’s trauma runs while still being consistent to what was portrayed on-screen. 

And in finding myself not only empathizing with Fic!Thor, but also feeling very protective of him and generally loving toward him, it also made me admit to myself that, when I watched Endgame, it was like two days before the release and I was watching a really shitty cam rip, where I missed 75% of what was really happening, due to poor sound and visual quality. 

So, tonight, I went back and rewatched it. Not in the theatre but I found a better cam version on Putlocker, with much better sound and video. I tried to be open-minded. And I had no idea how much I missed, when it came to Thor’s microexpressions and mannerisms and even what he was saying half the time. Watching it in better quality along with having the fics in my head has kind of ... brought me to an understanding of it, I think? In a way that I’m no longer furious about it, because I can sort of get behind the creative decision to show Thor just completely deteriorating and becoming something like an entirely different person than what he’s been before. Because mental illness and trauma do do that to a person. And I do think that it was a bold, but not necessarily a wrong, decision to go the opposite way in portraying the illness than what is usually shown in media. Usually, in films and tv, traumatized, depressed people are portrayed as stoic, and usually really thin, and scowly and brooding.

Thor in Endgame as a concept is taking that expectation and subverting it and showing the other end of the spectrum: that sometimes you are smiling and joking even though it’s an act, that you’re laughing on the outside while a weight is pressing down on you on the inside, that drinking to excess can cause weight gain, that eating as a coping mechanism can cause weight gain, that not caring about life can mean not caring about yourself and you don’t necessarily notice that it’s been a week since you washed your hair and two years since you cut it and what does it matter anyway, because you’re not going anywhere or doing anything or trying to impress anybody, you’re just putting one foot in front of the other and trying to make it through day by day until the universe finally decides to take pity on you and you die. 

And I get that, because I’ve been there, because a lot of people have been there, because it’s a very real, uncomfortable, visceral portrayal of someone who has just completely broken down - mentally, physically, emotionally. 

That all said - I understand the intention better now than I did before, but I do think that it fell flat. Instead of really delving into these things, the narrative played it like we were supposed to laugh at Thor. Not a single person, except for Bruce, asked Thor if he was okay. No one acknowledged that Thor might not be up for this mission. No one acknowledged that even if the snap was reversed, Thor will still have lost everything and he doesn’t get anything back. 

Thor is very visibly breaking down, and the others just roll with it. Worse, they make fun of him, what with the way they look at him and the way they act toward him and Rhodey’s stupid “cheeze whiz” joke. The narrative supports this view, especially with camera shots that emphasize Thor’s weight and general disheveled appearance. And the version I watched today was still filmed in a theatre, so I was able to hear all the places where the audience just laughed, even when Thor was obviously in pain and obviously needed sympathy rather than mockery. It smacks of fat shaming and general mental health shaming. And that’s not okay. 

I feel ... more generous toward Chris Hemsworth’s performance than I did before. On a second, closer viewing, I do think that his facial expressions and his delivery of his lines did show someone who was in deep pain, especially when it came to Thanos specifically (his change in demeanor when Bruce says his name, the way he begs to wear the gauntlet and “do something right,” the way he approaches Thanos in the final battle, among other moments). 

I also think, though, that Chris may have gotten too into the comedic aspect of it, too, and that probably contributed to Thor in general being played for laughs. Because Chris likes to laugh, and have fun, and screw around, and he’s said so himself. I think if Chris had a better understanding of mental illness than I assume he does, he might have been more willing to delve further into the emotional side and relied less on the comedic side. And if Chris wasn’t so anti-Loki, then I think we would have had a lot more acknowledgement of how much Loki’s death has contributed to Thor’s grief and mental state. 

Idk. It could have been better. The fics are better. But at the same time, I do get it now more than I did before. I’m not really crediting the Russos with that, bc they’re trash, but I do give Chris Hemsworth and his acting more credit than I did. And honestly, I give the fic writers credit bc reading them forced me to consider my point of view and whether or not I was looking at Thor too critically due to my general hatred of everything the Russos touch. 

So, yeah. Overall, it’s ... a complicated thing. I don’t think I’ll ever be okay with it, but I’m not so anti it either, anymore. If that makes sense. 

I didn’t mean to write you a dissertation, Anon, so I’m sorry for the length. This has actually been on my mind for several days, though, so I kind of hopped on this ask and took it as an opportunity to write all of this out. I hope it makes sense. I hope people can understand where I’m coming from. And even if you can’t, please don’t @ me, I’m very tired. 

Anyway. Yeah. So that’s what I think. I hope this somewhat answered the question. XDD

“hey little dude !”

WARNING DRAMA AHEAD

(Which is crazy because I try to actively have a drama free lifestyle)

So, awhile back I wrote about some issues in a friend group containing A & Em. Summary: I chatted with Em about A unintentionally making me feel shitty for FINALLY accepting my limitations & making lifestyle & wardrobe changes to reflect that. Em said she'd talk to A because if I did it, A might feel attacked & get defensive.

Day before yesterday, Em dropped by to hang, help me put together a shoerack, and go to a local costume shop that does rentals and serves all the theater departments & dance companies in a 70 mile radius. This shop is amazing, been around since I was little, almost everything is hand made with amazing care and detail, and the decor in their shop is ever changing, detailed, and super fucking cool. ANYWAY, we got on the subject of A, whom I've only seen once or twice since talking to Em about it & seemed ok both times aside from getting legit pissed that I'm better at macrame plant holders than she is. Apparently A currently thinks I dislike her or like her less or something. So I asked Em if I should gently talk to her about it and see if we can reach an understanding. She said she thought it was a good idea h really, I don't like one of my friends thinking I dislike them. So yesterday I pulled together some courage and messaged her. The following is the conversation that occured:

Me: So, I've heard that you are upset and under the impression that I don't like you anymore or like you less or something. So I'm gonna clear the air, but I'm gonna be blunt and honest with you because I'm not down for lying. K? (And let me go ahead and flat out say, I don't dislike you or like you any less)

A:I've just been feeling some reservations toward me lately. Go ahead I can take blunt.

(Spoiler: she cannot take even sugarcoated gentle level blunt)

ME: So here is the deal. My illness is eternal and is only ever going to get worse. In fact, it is constantly getting worse in small, large, and sometimes interesting & unexpected ways. Sometimes it creeps on slowly, sometimes it hits like an anvil was dropped on me. Therefore I am constantly having to adjust my lifestyle, activities, wardrobe... EVERYTHING. Very recently, I realized that I have spent the last 3 years trying to live my old life and just cope so my quality of life has been SHIT. I've finally truly accepted the shithole that is my health for what it is and have started to truly make real adjustments to my lifestyle, hobbies, wardrobe, ect. Because I will never get better and live in about 400 sq ft (at best) that means when I realize something doesn't fit my abilities or needs anymore, I get rid of it. However, I always offer those things to the kids & my friends first before donating them. But here's the thing, when I offer these things to you, I get a load of questions & comments that end up making me feel like I have failed as a person for realizing what has taken me 3 years to realize. For example: when I told you that Julia's candles were my last batch ever, there were loads of 'have you tried...' and 'I'm sure you can find a way.' I know you mean well, but if I'm giving something up, I've truly tried ever avenue to make it work within my limits and it just doesn't. Even after I quit candles in May, I kept the stuff (which took up massive space) until August because I doubted myself and was reluctant to lose another hobby. But I need to face facts and be realistic. Same with the sweater. I am drastically altering my wardrobe for whatever the upcoming season is to fit the fact that I need my cane at all times now (POCKETS) and the fact that my clothes need to be comfy enough for me to get dressed every day not just days I'm leaving the house. I've lived in PJs for the last year and a half and it's not good for my mental health. So all things that don't fit that criteria or my new altered lifestyle must go. And it's going to be a constant process because I'm constantly getting worse. The jewelry making stuff, I genuinely forgot you wanted it because honestly i don't even remember what happened yesterday, so I'm sorry. (I had jewelry making supplies that I can't use anymore due to -15 hand strength, which I gave to Em.)

A: I'm sorry that I've been putting you down and making you feel shity. That's never been my intention. If I ask a ton of questions it's not because I don't understand the severity and challenges in your daily life. I ask so many questions because I often find unconventional wacky solutions to peoples problems all the time and if I can be in the slightest bit helpful in finding a loophole or a way you might not have seen, I thought that would be better than just saying "I'm so sorry to hear that" I figured you hear that enough but idk how often you hear people actually trying to find a way. Like the sweater example, I would have been happy to take you shopping for a fun print material the made you some pockets. Outside like a cool patchwork with awesome prints, or inside like a bond detective. But you were so quick to snap at me and explain your whole situation like I am not taking you seriously. I ask because I want to hear your needs and maybe just maybe be able to help out. But if all I do is make you feel like your grandma did then I'll do you a favor and stop inviting myself over to make you feel shitty. I'm glad Emma always knows just what to say.

Now at this point, I stopped replying. I was kind of shocked at her response. Like, I expected her to explain her intentions, despite me making it clear I knew her intentions were good, because that's what people do. I expected us to discuss how things should be moving forward so I don't continue to feel like a failure. I considered maybe mentioning somewhere in there that if I want help or advice or solutions, I'll fucking ask. But I did NOT expect those last couple sentences where she basically stomped her feet and said well since this isn't going how I want, I'm not playing with you guys anymore.

After careful thought, writing & editing over a 5 hr period, I sent this (which are screenshots from my notes because typing is rough, I wanted to convey what I wanted just right, and now you have to click on them to see the full thing. I'm sorry I've failed you, the reader of this normal convo turned melodrama, in such a fashion.):

She responded at like 2 am (when I was asleep) so I saw there was a response when I woke up, but given the history of her behavior in situations like this (conveyed via Em, who has known her MUCH longer) I decided not to open it just yet, as I'd like to relax and enjoy my day. This shit stresses me out. I don't do drama and tantrums. I don't tolerate it from my teenage Spawn, much less fucking adults. I get the feeling that the response is going to be just as melodramatic & tantrum filled. If this is how she handles her intentions not aligning with the result of her actions that were driven by said intentions, then she's in for a real shock when she leaves the cuddlebox of college and enters the real world. Your boss isn't going to care about how good your intentions were when you accidentally burned down the kitchen of the bakery you work in. They will just care that you burned down their fucking business.

Welp, may as well rip off the bandaid. For you, my dear reader, to have closure I will read the response. Back in a sec.

OMG IT WAS SO MUCH MORE DRAMATIC THAN I EXPECTED.

A:I understand. And I told you where I stand. I am the type of friend that instinctually tries to help those she cares deeply about. I'm not the friend to just sit and feel bad when there's something I can do. But I have been feeling for a while now unwanted and you have confirmed it by not saying anything then, just talking about it to my former close friend, and then throwing it in my face that you have been holding on to a box cuz of me. And like the adult i am, I don't see why I should change the type of friend I am just because some one is ungrateful for it. I'll go help someone else leave their abusive boyfriend's in the middle of the night. for the people I care about I'd do anything, anything except sit and do nothing while I'm told how much worse I make things when I try and help. I will just take my good intentions elsewhere. I have had the worst year of my life but I don't remember you asking me once anyway. I wish you the best buy obviously your life is better without me and my negativity in it. I truly am sorry I hurt your feelings and I never ever wanted to. I cherished your friendship more than you'll ever know and you can ask anyone. But because I can't see myself sitting by biting my tongue around you and waking on eggshells because I clearly can't see the bounty between helpful conversion and being a cunt. Since I respect you so much I'll go ahead and remove that stupid cunt from your life so you won't be put down again.

HOOOLY SHIT. I'm not responding to that giant fucking dramatic pity party. She legit needs to grow the fuck up. Good god.

[threemoonsareshining]

i read through all the 'get to know me uncomfortably well' questions and honestly i couldn't pick because i'd love your answers to any of them so idk just answer the ones you feel like answering? is that allowed in these ask games? idk i'm making it allowed (also have a great day!) xx

Hi!!!!!! Oh my god you’re blessing my night with this message because let’s say... I haven't had the best day today, and I’m sure that’s allowed in these ask things, i mean are there even rules? I do’t know how many i’ll be able to answer but I’m going all in so let’s go

2. How old are you? 19 such an ugly age let me tell you

4. What is your zodiac sign? taurus and i’m not really into astrology and stuff so i don’t know if i can relate to my sign or not

5. What is your favorite color? i really like earthy tones, and i’ve always loved dark colors but i’m trying to broaden my horizons in terms of colors, unsuccessfully this far

6. What's your lucky number? i’m not sure if it brings me luck but i’ve always loved the number 5, maybe bc it’s my birthday, i think it’s really nice overall

7. Do you have any pets? yes!! i have 2 cats, i love them so much even though they’re not the friendliest cats in the world you know. I used to have fish but they kept dying not matter how hard i tried! It makes me a little sad but in the end it was just too much work and if i wasn’t able to take care of them properly i’d rather have no fish honestly

8. Where are you from? i don’t like to say these things but i think it’s pretty obvious if you pay a little attention to what i post every once in a while

9. How tall are you?i’m 1.64 or so, which is like… 5.3-5.4??? I’d like to be a little taller tho

11. How many pairs of shoes do you own? I don’t own many, this year i bought some winter shoes but i just realised all my summer ones are either a little too used or i just don’t like their style anymore so yeah i should do some shopping (if only i had time to do that hah!)

12. What was your last dream about? i don’t remember very well but i think i saw my economics teacher riding a bike with no pants after i’d been fined by the police for having a water balloon war in the middle of the street, I wasn’t happy about that. I’ve had many dreams i was able to remember these last days, but they were more like nightmares i’d say, many of them about being kidnaped, other studies-related (i failed my math test again, i had to retake my college-access test… just terrible), and other were with people i actually know, which wasn’t the best thing ever honestly

15. Favorite song? Plant life by owl city, i’m going to paste the answer i wrote to explain why it’s my favorite (Plant Life by Owl City, that song just describes my soul at a spiritual level, like I could choose 1564 other songs by Owl City that describe me as well but this one is the one that I can relate to when i’m going through the worst times, but also gives me the hope that things will get better idk. And it’s funny because I still loved it before I had the level of English to understand the lyrics, and then I found out what they meant and i was like “woah this actually speaks to me in a way i can’t explain” it was a really weird feeling idk, that song is just me)

16. Favorite movie? billy elliot, actually it’s been a really long time since i last saw it. I remember i watched it like 7 times in a row in one week when i first saw it, i just loved it so much

17. Who would be your ideal partner? Just… someone that i’m 100% comfortable with, which should be a given, but apparently that isn’t that easy to find. Idk i’ve been thinking a lot about this lately basically because some of my coming decisions are going to be based on who i want as a partner, obviously not in a serious-for-life way, but in a way that i deserve right now. I’d like to have someone that doesn’t make me feel inadequate like almost everyone does, that doesn’t make me feel like a temporary asset in their life until they get want they want for me and just don’t care anymore. I don’t know, recent experiences have made me realise I need to figure out what I want and fight for it, not settle for someone just because it’s convenient, or because i don’t want to be alone... because in the end, if someone is making you feel like shit for being who you are and it’s acting like you are not important, even though they’re willing to be with you (even if it’s just for the physical part) that clearly makes you feel even more lonely

18. Do you want children? I’d say my #1 fear in life is getting accidentally pregnant (i know that shouldn’t worry me that much if i use protection and stuff), i meant a good reason i’m so wary of having sex is because i’d go crazy just considering the possibility that the condom failed or something. I think this answers the question, i really don’t want children, idk if i’d be able to take care of a kid, and above all, i don’t want to. Every time i see a kid in the street or in the public transport i pray he/she doesn’t interact with me because i just find it so so so difficult to be nice to them, basically because i don’t know how . Then i also look at their parents, their tired look, and don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they love their kids and all but I don’t think everyone can find happiness in having kids, and I don’t think I’m one of those people that won’t feel complete until they have kids or stuff. Furthermore, I’m not willing to sacrifice my body and to suffer the pain of giving birth, that doesn’t even cross my mind. So if I consider the possibility in the future i think I’d adopt.

20. Are you religious? I already answered this so I’ll just paste it I’m sorry this is so lazy (i was raised catholic and as a child i was really really devote, i truly believed in god. But you know, as years go by, then you find out you don’t agree with a lot of things the Church preaches (being in a catholic school doesn’t help, i will never forget the day i heard a priest telling literal 7-year-old girls that their only duty in life was to have children). My environment was really really conservative and I was lucky to somehow realise how fucking wrong some of the stuff they were teaching us was, sadly, i still see a lot of kids in my school being brainwashed… it’s crazy to see the way some families think. Anyways, that contributed to me getting distanced from everything religious-related. Now i could say i’m somewhere between agnostic and non-practicing. I still pray every once in a while but i’m not sure if i truly believe it or it’s just out of custom, i just feel too hopeless and detached from everything to believe there’s something greater than us… this question is too hard!)

24. Baths or showers? I used to hate taking showers just because I didn’t have the strength to go through all the process of taking a shower but I’ve been trying to fix this mainly because 1) Personal Hygiene and stuff 2) Even though i don’t have the willpower to do it, i always try to think about how nice it feels to be clean after a shower, or how relaxed you are (even if it’s for a short period of time) after taking a bath. So yeah I don’t like either of them but they’re obviously necessary

26. Have you ever been famous? I haven’t been famous but I’ve been mistaken for a famous people more than once. The first time i was very young and a man asked me if i was that girl (idk who) that was on tv and I said no, and the other was more recent, last year, when someone mistook me for a youtuber

28. What type of music do you like? I love instrumental music, specially orchestral but i also adore celtic themes. And i hate to admit it but i love electro pop, the owl city - type, even though many people (aka my dad) may think it’s not the Best Quality, but i mean who cares at least I enjoy it

33. What do you typically have for breakfast? I’m a mess so most of the time I have a coffee so I don’t die of tiredness throughout the day and if i have time i eat some fruit and cookies, not a lot honestly, which isn’t the most healthy thing to do but hey idc

34. Have you ever fired a gun? No. I really, really hate guns.

37. Favorite swear word? I never swear in public, just when I’m alone, I don’t think I can choose any word!

38. What's the longest you've ever gone without sleep? Maybe 24 hours, the thing is that i sleep very, very little, but i always end up sleeping anyway

41. Are you a good liar? Even when I’m actually telling the truth there are people who don’t believe me so yeah hah not really

42. Are you a good judge of character? i’m really good at getting the vibes of people, sometimes i think i’m just overreading everything but a high percentage of the time i end up being right, so yeah not only regarding people but also with other aspects of my life… i like to trust my gut. However, i don’t always say it bc i’m afraid i might be wrong, but when my suspicions are proven, I’m like yeah i was right how weird hahahahhhhhhhhh, i amaze myself in this aspect honestly

46. What is your personality type? i think i’m intj, but i remember retaking the test a few months later and getting another result but yeah i can relate to the architect type, introvert, cautelous, focused on analysing rather than acting blah blah all that stuff (i love this stuff)

49. Are you an innie or an outie? Innie 4 life, because I’ve tried to force myself to be more outie and let me tell you that didn’t go well

50. Left or right handed? left!!!

51. Are you scared of spiders? I’m really scared of them but i also cry every time i kill one bc i feel sorry for her (but it’s either my life or hers i’m sorry) although most of the time when i see i spider i face my fear and i put in in a box or something to release it outside

52. Favorite food? i’d eat ice cream every day of my life for every meal all the time just give me all the ice cream

58. Do you have much of an ego? My ego is so tiny sometimes i forget it exists and let people step on it like it’s nothing

61. Do you sing to yourself? I perform to myself, i love singing alone in my room. I used to care about my neighbour hearing me but you only live once right

62. Are you a good singer? i wouldn't say i’m a bad singer, nor a good one bc the problem is that my voice is not very strong, so it’s very hard to hear me. But yeah, i’ve been complimented for my singing in some occasions, and i really enjoy doing it on my own (i still don’y know how i was able to sing in public the only time i have done it)

63. Biggest Fear? that i’ll keep missing stuff due to my anxiety, oh that and having unwanted kids obviously

64. Are you a gossip? it’s always interesting to hear stuff and be aware of what happens around you but i‘ve always said that things would be better if everyone just… minded their own business a little bit more, you can’t get mad at someone if they don’t want to tell you something, it’s their life and they don’t owe you all the explanations after all

66. Do you like long or short hair? i have really long hair and i’d love it if it wasn’t so so so hard to maintain… i’m pretty tired of it honestly and i know i said i’d be cutting and donating it this year but… it’s such a part of my identity (which is so silly but it’s true, i’m introduced to some people as “the girl with really long hair”) and… i don’t know i think i’ve enough changes this year, so i’ll keep it for a little longer

70. Have you ever been scuba diving? i’m so scared of the sea i think i’d die

71. What makes you nervous? sadly, even the most insignificant stuff makes me nervous, and apparently, ignoring them doesn’t mae them disapear! so yeah i’m basically suffering at all times due to stupid stuff, i’ve just learned to ignore it enough so it doesn’t interfere with the rest of my life (most of the time it works but it’s mentally draining now that i think about it)

77. Have you ever drank underage? I’m one of those people that can say that never drank alcohol until it was legal for me to do it, I didn’t do it even when my mom offered me something at family gatherings… yeah i think that’s the reason i drink so much now

80. How many piercings do you have? I don’t like piercings for myself (i obviously don’t have a problem with other people having them) but i just think it’s an unnecessary way of mutilating yourself (i hate needles)

86. What are you allergic to? Ironically, I’m allergic to cats, even though i have 2. It comes and goes, and it’s not serious, i sneeze a lot, my eyes itch a little sometimes, but i’m willing to pay that price for my cats honestly

87. Do you keep a journal? I do, but it’s been months since i last wrote mainly because i always feel like shit after writing, so now i can’t bring myself to do it, that’s why i post so much about my personal life in here, because i’m not able to journal but i also don’t want to forget about what happens in my life

90. What makes you angry? Anger is a weird concept for me. I get angry very often, but I’m angry in general, not at anyone in particular, I just find myself unable to get mad at someone, the anger instantaneously turns into sadness, so I don’t know what’s worse. If I’m being mean to someone (most of the time my parents are the victims) it’s not because of them, I’m just angry for no reason and I just can’t keep being nice.

Hey congratualtions if you made it till the end, i was really bored so i answered a lot. Thanks for the message again 🐱🐱🐱🌳🌳🌳

[aquarianlights]

Hey friend! I hope your cat ends up being okay. I can't offer much, but like I just want to say you and your kitty are in my thoughts and prayers, and that you're a wonderful person. Things will be okay, I'm sure of it.

Read this the night it happened and I cannot thank you enough for the well wishes. Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve friends like you who offer constant support when I need it. You and everyone else who messaged me privately or commented on any of my posts.

I really appreciate this so much. So far, he’s okay. The drain came out yesterday and they took his bandages off. I have had to detach myself from the situation because my parents are not caring for him correctly and he is not my cat and I am not going to be here for his full recovery, so they either need to learn to take care of him or. . .Whatever happens, happens. I did everything I could. I taught them all the right things to do to have him heal correctly, I wrote down all the instructions and medication times, I got him a 14-day antibiotic shot so that my parents didn’t have to worry about the pills (a. my dad won’t give them to him and b. he’s a hard cat to give pills to so my parents end up wasting a lot of pills coz he bites and they don’t want to get bit so I’m the only one who can get them far enough back towards his throat to close his jaw gently and rub his throat until he swallows), and I’ve cleaned the drain site every time I go up to check on him and I am the one applying the antibiotic ointment to the drain site. But. . .I had to detach myself and stop doing that coz I’m leaving with Echo and all my stuff very, very soon and. . .I’m not gonna be here for his 1-month-ish (give or take) healing process where he’s gonna need to get his stitches out and be given medication and having the drain site kept clean and a thin layer of antibiotic ointment over it and all that. I’m not gonna be here to do all of that anymore. . .so I just had to. . .stop. And either let them learn or. . . Well. . . He’s a 15 year old cat. He’s had a good, long life. I found him on the streets outside my old neighbourhood when I was little and brought him inside and cared for him secretly and eventually my parents found out and we decided to adopt him coz we took him to the vet and got his chip read and the people who (very obviously) owned him (and also very obviously dumped him on the street) said “Well, we don’t know about any cat.” So. . .we adopted him. And he’s had 15 years with us. . .and he was full grown when I found him. . .so who knows how old he actually is. He’s had a life full of attention and treats and grooming and loving. . . If my parents are going to neglect him by not properly caring for him, then maybe it’s better if he stops suffering. I’m not trying to be cruel. . .and a year ago, I would have beaten myself to a pulp for thinking like this. But after being in vet med school and going through some tech school and volunteering at shelters and interning with a vet, like. . . My views have changed a lot. A whole lot.

I have realized my views as an animal rights activist are not even close to, like. . .animal “rights”. They’re just. . .anthropomorphizing animals. That’s what I was taught growing up. And that’s not right. Sometimes, pain is necessary to help an animal. Just as it is with humans. It just sucks that you can’t tell a dog you’re restraining him to help him. And sometimes, the suffering and pain is too much and there are times when it is necessary and probably the better option to put the animal down. I feel that should be a thing with humans, too, but the assisted suicide laws are so goddamn strict and they’re not with animals and that’s just wrong. BUT. . .I don’t think our Siamese should be put down. I think he should be properly taken care of and set to heal. If I had the finances to take him in and nurse him back to health myself, I would. But I do not. I cannot provide the quality of care that he needs to get better. . .so I cannot and should not. He would die with my financial situation. I would have no way to get the stitches removed in about 10-14 days. I would have no money for any medication or special care he needs. And what little I do have. . .I need to allot to Echo. He is my son and my responsibility. If I took in all the feral/hurt/old animals I could. . .I’d have nothing left for Echo and myself. I wouldn’t be able to care for them. . .

It hurts like hell, but I have had to compartmentalize and detach myself from the whole situation. And after seeing how they are trying to take care of him and failing, sometimes on purpose, I’m done. I’m just. . .so done.

He’s definitely not out of the woods yet. I don’t know if he will make it. . .but, if properly taken care of, he should recover just fine. Whether that is going to happen or not. . .Idk.

I hope to god he makes it and everything is okay. . .But, if that doesn’t happen, then. . . Idk. I’ll hurt. But I’ve dealt with a lot of animal death in my life and I need to learn to detach myself from death anyways. . .going into the medical field. . .So I need to put that into practice in every form possible, in my personal and professional life. It’s just better that way, I feel. . . Idk if I’m right. I could be totally wrong, but. . . it /feels/ right. Y’know?

Idk. I’m rambling. Sorry. I haven’t really had a chance to update anyone on the situation so I’m doing it now.

Thank you so much for the well wishes. And I appreciate this so much. Your support means so much to me, fren. I wish I could jump across the screen and hug you. <3

Title: Subjective Luck

Author: @certifiedboyf (irlhinatakun)

For: @imakeideasnotart

Rating/Warnings: T, warning for brief Suicide Ideation from Komaeda

Prompt: Anything funny with a serious undertone. Nagito’s luck and self hate, idk go nuts / fluffy hurt and comfort. Nagito’s arm, Hinata’s eye, kissing- the works

Author’s notes: It isn’t as fluffy as I meant it to be….. Like I went in for prompt 1 but for whatever reason I ended up frankenstiening these together into serious stuff and hurt comfort. Then saw what I did and was like OOPS. I hope you like it regardless! I do like how it turned out~

If Komaeda had to make a list of things he hated, like a top ten, his personal qualities would probably make up all ten of them. He hated his temperament, his personality, he hated his eyes, his voice, his hair, his face, his body, his cancer, his lack of tact,and most of all, above everything else (while all in a non-specific order) was his luck. His stupid, extreme-to-the-point-of-absurdity luck. His luck had kept him from getting what he really wanted from himself.

Would saying death here sound too cliché?

He had been set, for a very long time, on the idea that dying would be the best case scenario. He’d tried, before and after being diagnosed, to do it. To kill himself. But while the want was there, his luck (which to him felt like some kind of separate entity from himself, that had its own agenda) decided that it wasn’t going to allow it. Was it good luck or bad luck that he kept failing at dying, at getting what he wanted? Komaeda would say yes, but…

Things had been better, lately. A lot better. So much better that Komaeda was waiting for the bad luck to hit. It had to eventually. He didn’t deserve what he’d gotten. Hajime Hinata.

Hinata asking him out had to be the best bit of luck he’d had in his life. He still dealt with his self deprecation and suicide ideation: Dating someone can’t suddenly cure something like that. But Hinata seemed to get it. He was careful around Komaeda, and caring and supportive and Komaeda was absolutely terrified for him. Things like this didn’t last for Nagito Komaeda. Good things in his life always ended up gone or some matter of destroyed. His dog, his parents, they were all ripped away from him. If something like that happened to Hinata….

He was torn, between riding out his good luck with Hinata (which would be extremely selfish on his part, he thought) and leaving Hinata to save him from it. If Hinata died or got hurt because of him, he’d never forgive himself. Never.

So he made his choice, resolved his tear between the two options. He didn’t want to think about the opportunity costs of the whole situation, just rip it off quick like a band-aid.

It had started with a “Hinata, we need to talk”, to which Hinata had responded with a dubious “Okay?” and a concerned look. They’d sat down, and Komaeda told him that it “wasn’t working out” (a lie) and that he “didn’t want to go out anymore” (a bigger lie). Hinata had stared at him, eyes wide, and said nothing. When Komaeda had finished talking, and he looked at Hinata, he regretted his choice.

Hinata hadn’t been crying or anything like that. If he had been, Komaeda would have been surprised. Hinata cried at movies, but tended to be more serious when it came to real life events. He was just staring at Komaeda, looking almost blankly at him. He shook his head with disbelief.

“Y-you don’t mean that, do you?” The way Hinata’s voice caught on the words had punched Komaeda in the gut. He was so shit at people, why was he like this? “Never mind, you wouldn’t have said anything if you weren’t serious. I'm… I’m glad you told me. It’s okay. I wouldn’t want you to silently suffer through it. I know you would, you don’t like upsetting people like that.”

Why was Hinata so…. So good to him? Even when he out of nowhere broke up with him, Hinata still was supportive. Even when he was obviously upset and hurt, he chose to be kind.

Why was Komaeda like this? Why did he have to hurt Hinata? He felt so bad, he didn’t want to do that!

He had grabbed at his hair, trying to backtrack. “N-no, Hinata-kun, I’m sorry, I’m just…”

“Komaeda, you shouldn’t feel like you have to be in a relationship with me-”

“It’s not that, it’s just me being stupid-”

“-You aren’t stupid-”

“- and I really love you Hinata-kun, I just don’t want….. I don’t want you to get hurt because I like you!”

Hinata had frowned. “Why would that happen?”

“The Luck! My luck! It hurts people I care about! And even then, even if I didn’t have my stupid luck, I’m a terrible person, Hinata! I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m a piece of trash!”

Hinata’s frown deepened. “No you aren’t! Having issues and being a bad person aren’t correlated! And as for your luck, I’m not scared of it….”

“I AM!” Komaeda hated that he could be brought to tears by his own mistake, and that he let his luck and his fear control his life so totally, but what else could he do? “You could end up dead, just like everyone else I loved! I’m not allowed kindness, Hajime!”

Hinata had looked terribly put off, which Komaeda later learned was for a mixture of reasons, though the main one was that Komaeda was upset enough to use his first name. That was rare and it had surprised him. “But you deserve it! You deserve kindness. Just about everyone does, and you’re in the top percentage of said people.”

Komaeda had choked out a “no!”, but was cut off by a hug from Hinata. A kiss on the cheek. Soft words of caring and love that Komaeda wanted but didn’t think were owed to him.

“Listen, I don’t care about your luck, but if you’re scared of it, I’ll be more careful. If you have a way to avoid it, I’ll do what you say to. Okay? I love you a lot, Nagito.”

And that was the end of the conversation, because Komaeda didn’t know what to say.

He just cried into Hinata’s arms.

      ***

It was better, afterwards. Komaeda, who thought Hinata couldn’t get any more sweet, noticed that Hinata started giving him random words of encouragement about things Komaeda didn’t like about himself. Snuggling became more common, as did hand holding and dumb little dates. Little actions of comfort. He suspected this began because of his comments during the discussion they had had, but he wasn’t complaining by any means. It was nice, really nice. Spending time with Hinata always brightened his day. Hinata seemed happier, too, and that in turn made Komaeda feel better. Before the discussion, Komaeda tended to try (and often succeeded) to break off that kind of stuff. But he felt more at ease, now.

On top of that, Hinata began to invest himself in the research about Luck done at Hope’s Peak Facilities. When asked, he said he had simply taken an interest in the subject, but Komaeda knew better. He knew that Hinata was doing it to report back to him and try and make him feel better about the whole issue. Komaeda was thankful, but still worried for Hinata. Just because he understood it didn’t mean he was safe from whatever wrathful god decided they really hated or really loved Komaeda. Lady Fortune was fickle, but Komaeda wondered often why she chose a trash bag like him to play with. Hinata would always reprimand him for saying stuff like that, but that didn’t really stop him.

The final remedy that Hinata was trying was doing what he had said he’d do. He listened to Komaeda to avoid possible issues. Some bad stuff happened that barely missed Hinata, but it did miss. Komaeda wasn’t sure if this was a relief or something to worry about more. For now, though, it seemed his luck had hit a spot of calm for the two of them. Equilibrium, almost.

Komaeda put all his faith into hoping that it stayed that way.

Maybe he’d be lucky.

☂ - favorite season?Winter!!  Nice and cool AND you dont have school for two weeks lmao

✐ - fave types of movies?Generally animated; I enjoy animation and movie animation tends to be consistently pretty high-quality (even the fucking emoji movie looks pretty decent) not to mention live action movies always seem to have really bad sound mixing??  Meaning important things you NEED to hear like whispering are too quiet and explosions are too loud even when you dont change the tv volume.  But even then, saying I prefer animated movies isn’t exactly accurate because….I haven’t gone to the theater for a single animated movie this year.  The only ones so far that I would’ve considered were Lego Batman (which I have on dvd now but i havent watched) and Cars 3.  I’m hoping to see Coco in theaters but other than that….i can wait for it on dvd or just not watch it at all because I’d prefer to rewatch a movie I like.

I also dont like calling animated movies a genre, so if we’re going by genre, I’d say fantasy-adventure stories tend to be my favorites, but sci-fi can be fun as well.  I just want a good, heartfelt story that doesn’t take itself so seriously that you can’t have fun but also takes itself seriously enough that you really feel for the characters.

♪ - music you like?GOD I WISH I KNEW??  I’ll literally listen to everything from vocaloid to mainstream pop to techno music to video game OSTs and everything in-between and outside of that.  I’m generally more picky with rap music, techno/electronic music, and just anything that gets screechy or is too intense with its instrumentals, but….I can listen to hard metal music when im trying to fall asleep at night, so i mean.

✌ - favorite bands/ singers?Again, god I wish I knew.  I have a tendency to think “oh, this is alright, I’ll listen to a few of this artist’s songs” and then moving on and never thinking about them again.  One artist that I’ve come back to repeatedly is Sabrina Carpenter though, her music is nice and a few of her songs are some of my all-time faves, its probably not for people who cant stand mainstream pop tho.  Also shout out to Mystery Skulls for officially licensing Mystery Skulls animated instead of taking them down for copyright infringement lmao also their music is some of the techno music that i actually like

♒ - fave animes?I havent watched enough animes aaAAAA but I will always and forever love Digimon.  Like I dont think any anime will surpass the personal attachment I have to the Digimon series.  It’s just so silly and charming and for a long time it was the best thing I had ever seen and it’s honestly still just….really enjoyable.  (Honestly it gives me fossil fighters vibes, I think I like them both for the same reason tbh)  Digimon Adventure is definitely my favorite, Tamers is really good but I actually have a bit of a personal bias against Tamers because it scared me as a kid :’D its still a good season tho and i appreciate it a lot more now that im older.  And FRONTIER IS ACTUALLY GOOD, PEOPLE CAN FIGHT ME it’s got the same vibe as the first four seasons, even if the concept seems vastly different, and is really enjoyable if you arent blinded by your love for the digimon partners in the old series.  After that though its kinda….ehhh.  Data Squad and Fusion didnt have the same feel, although Fusion did it much better, but…its just not the same.  I really dislike Marcus so it makes Data Squad less enjoyable, plus i just…idk, it doesnt seem to have as much life as the first four seasons and is written and animated in a different way to me.  Fusion is kinda interesting in the second arc (ive only seen the first three arcs; the third arc/seventh season [idk which it is] hasnt been dubbed yet so…) but it takes itself too seriously because it removes its primary comic reliefs - and also the best characters - after the end of the first arc.  So we’re left with the Digimon as the only comic reliefs and….ehhh….theyre not as good.  Also I havent seen the Appmon anime and idk how good it is but im still salty that they stole the name of the project that ive had floating around in the back of my head for years so i havent done anything related to Appmon.  AND Digimon Tri is good but i still need to catch up on it ahaha cries (planning to get a trial at crunchyroll to watch the last two parts when the last part comes out)

But enough about Digimon.  Besides Digimon, I really did enjoy Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood; I do have some gripes with the series (namely the earlier episode and how much happens in the earlier episodes vs how much happens in the later episodes, so pacing problems basically) but it’s still really good and I LOVE AL.  There was an anime I watched with my dad several years back called Blue Dragon that I remembered enjoying a lot, but then disowning because it turns out in the original my favorite character was a perfect example of the anime pervert trope.  Dubs are fun lmao.  But I feel like I’d pick up more on the changes they made between the two versions now (the sub version being riddled with swears and innuendos, and the dub version being dubbed for kids) and probably wouldnt enjoy it as much anymore.  I also barely remember shit about it except a plot twist at the end that i spoiled for myself but still had no idea it was coming.  I was like 11 when i watched it, its been a long time.

❦-.fave characters?Well I already mentioned loving Al, but I also love Pidge from VLD, Amanda from Dream Daddy, Baymax and Hiro from BH6, and Napstablook from Undertale.  Also like all of the main characters in Fossil Fighters Champions but shhh.

I really want to add Hunk to this list but honestly as the seasons in VLD go on it becomes more and more apparent to me that he’s just a running fat joke; Lance looks like he could be building up to something, but I haven’t got a clue where Hunk could go besides more of the same.  So :’) my boy deserves better, he can join the group again when Dreamworks gets its shit together.  Sorry Hunk, I still love you and I’d treat you better if you were mine (//looks at my characters all burning in hell and sweats// well maybe not better but…)

ღ - mottos?Uhhh idk?  Does this mean like, mottos I follow, catchphrases I use a lot, or inspirational quotes?  Idk I’ll give all three

I try to live my life by the policy of “do to others as you would have them do to you.”  That’s like my number 1 rule about doing anything.  I dont understand how people can be intentionally dicks to other people or so something that they would hate happening to them; what, dont you realize that other people have the same feelings as you?  I know I’ve hurt other people but still, it’s always been in instances where the pros outweighed the cons if I put themselves in their shoes.

As for catchphrases I use a lot, probably “mood” or “god same” because this site has completely broken my sense of anything

As for inspirational quotes, well here are some copy-pasted directly from my dA page:

“No man deserves to be trapped in jelly.” - Rupert from Fossil Fighters Champions“what motivates Scart? That’s right: the nut” - Tumblr user claratyler“I am slowly going crazy” - Dr. Jean, songwriter of children’s music and my lord and savior“I’m still mad at Seth McFarlane btw but im more concerned with my tree cookies” - me“I was out of the third bean” - Yolei’s mom from Digimon Adventure 02
