10 Anti LO Asks

(Note: All of these asks are before episode 206 (Season 2 finale) so some may be dated.) 1. I can't even trustt this "cute" moment between zeus and artemis bc rachel is just way too anti zeus and too big of a fan of "twist" villains that I just have the feeling she's going to use this as a stepping stone to set up artemis the next villain because idk she doesnt like hades still and be like oh what BETRAYAL of persephone! now both of the twins should be punished now! or w/e.

2. It's not just that a time skip is lazy and out of place, if you're just going to flashback to explain what happened anyway, then don't do a time skip? Just show the progression as you already have done? Why skip ahead only to jump back? She's basically trying to do too many things at once and none of it is done well.

3. the wild part to me is has rachel ACTUALLY read the old texts? because they're way more progressive than her work. demeter's hymn praised her and persephone while calling out the abuse of men, women like aphrodite (who has a ton of sex with many partners) or artemis who didnt have sex were all held to high respect and never shamed for their choices, and stories like the odyssey/Iliad explicitly called out slavery, yet rachel is here in 2022 being ore conservative than men from 800 BC. like???

4. A time skip in LO isn’t a bad idea in and of itself. We’ve been complaining about RS’s slow pacing for years and she’s finally taking a different approach, which is good! The only problem is that her execution of the time skip ends up leaving out integral and interesting details about how the characters’ relationships with each other have changed in the decade since we’ve seen them. I was looking forwards to Minthe and Perse reconciliation arc but we don’t even know how they grew to that point

5. I love the her current look is a "turn off" line tho bc it's both persephone being aware hades is a gross old man who only dates under 25 years olds but doesnt seem to linger on this realization (P is legit so stupid) but also that rachel has zero self awareness that shes not a very good artist bc persephone still looks exactly the same despite being ten years older. like rachel will just say whatever lie she thinks up despite direct contradiction in comic and be like wow im such a good writer

6. Out of all things wrong with LO, I don't think I mind the switch from serious to silly in the mid-season premiere chapter? The part where Zeus gets threatened with ConSEqueNCEs for punishing Persephone is dumb as hell, but the transition to her speaking to the screen like she's talking to the audience before revealing something ridiculous is a tried and tested way of moving to a new scene, so I kinda like it. It's marred by her talk of pierced ears and green hands, but it's not bad.

7. How did you get into  Lore Olympus  in  the first place?

From OP: I found LO after seeing a lot of ads for it. I already knew of its existence but decided to try it because why not (I think I got into it around episode 70ish). I was obsessed with it, not solely because of the romance but because of the art. However, I started to question a lot of the stuff in the story and looked through youtube and tumblr to see if I was the only one feeling this way. Surprise surprise, I wasn’t and now I’m here lol.

8. I'm confused with the whole Artemis being called protector of women. You'd think she would do something to earn that title, but all she did was ask to be with Persephone in the mortal realm? It makes zero sense.

9. I know changing your physical appearance is sometimes an external sign that a change is going on internally but... did RS really have Persephone pierce her ears as the ONLY sign of her taking her life into her hands? I don't mind it as a heavy-handed metaphor but girl has done the bare minimum in ten years (a punishment she was happy with until they actually sentenced her with it) and you're telling me it's #girlboss because she pierced her ears???

10. What's so annoying about the timeskip too is it's not just lazy, it makes the last FOUR YEARS be for nothing. HxP relationship is exactly the same and their characterization is stagnant, big deals like Leto and Kronos are just swept to the side, Eros and Psyche was dropped I guess? Minthe and Daphne is resolved off scrteen, and the now the actual myth is supposed to start after FOUR YEARS of nothing happening? It's just a waste of everyone's time, but Rachel gets rich off of it at least 🤨

ok here are my bird movie thoughts spoilers under cut

-you already have seen me say this but: my biggest criticism is that the casting department should have cast native actors as Theo and Audrey.

also Audrey’s role being so reduced was. not good.

-I really liked the portrayal of Hobie and Pippa they really stood out. But there should have been more of them not just by themselves but together!! (if there had just been a miniseries ...) I think it was kind of an interesting choice that Hobie knows about the painting earlier but I didnt quite mind that? And Im glad that the movie..did not try and show her aunts decision in a good light

-Its lol that critics complained about Theo not having chemistry with Pippa when that ....lol...... AND the scenes we do have with Pippa are really effective looks at HER as a person in her own right even if we could have had more. one of the complaints I’ve seen about the book is that people feel she’s a non character but I don’t think so and I think the film medium having her acted out by a person was helpful to understanding

-I really liked Kitsey, she was very nuanced and interesting. and the same actress will be the coach in Dare Me....A Portfolio.

-I enjoyed it. but I will say the editing kind of...?? and if I didn’t read the book I would have been confused. I think non linear storytelling is fine and so is not laying everything out and revealing things gradually is too. but this story would  have worked better with a miniseries. a lot just felt for the film purpose underdeveloped and rushed and either left things out or almost understated them? I get that film is a different adaption but ... for example Theo’s addiction struggles definitely didnt have the same focus in the movie.

-Hobies earring, Xandra’s jacket, the kids’ shared cat shirt, thank you wardrobe department 

-Hobie telling little Theo that he and Popchyk can stay and then Popchyk sleeping on Theo...Cinema

-what got the big laugh in the theater was when Chance just straight up asked tiny Theo if he wants a drink

-XANDRA....I thought there would be more of her( and more stuff in Vegas)? but her laugh/crying when she tells Theo he’s just like Larry (which I think having that face-to-face instead of the phone worked well) was so much and I think she was effective in the scenes she was in

-when baby Theo was being interrogated and was like ITS A REMBRANDT. kdjhfbhdg. the actor was really adorable and good 

-the kids were good (BETTE...lol) and could maybe have been utilized more. I liked the scene that was like “when does it hit” and IMMEDIATELY cut to them lying down high out of their minds. and somehow them doing the kids-at-a-sleepover seriously telling secrets thing about their traumas right after that worked. it was mood whiplash but that fits with how it should be ig.

- “I’m not his ward” “whatever you are to him” I WAS LIKE OH NO HE FUCKING DIDNT......!!! HE FUCKING DIDNT !!!!!!

John Crowley: Theo isnt gay but I’m going to emphasize this textually explicitly gay man who threatens him about knowing his secrets, saying “ I KNOW WHO YOU ARE” like 3 times in a row. also Boris is straight but he can’t have a girlfriend or talk about spposedly having a wife or even work with a business associate who is a woman (Myriam being cut?? let her talk..) and he stares longingly at Theo and is cinematically positioned opposite Kitsey at the party like a homewrecker in an old movie

(I genuinely love the movie Brooklyn, but Crowley...??? )

-Boris Good

-adult Theo and his endless Cersei expressions/mannerisms legit was so fucking funny. EXPRESSIONS EXACTLY LIKE HER....”I socialize with people I despise” I know he and his mommy issues stan her! something that would happen in the book. he looked like he was gonna tell Everett “by the way there’s a 30 percent off sale on lawn furniture at Sears today.” which is maybe kind of different from book Theo who is ... not outwardly like that as much

-did you see how they made Nicole look like Laura Bush lol. not a criticism just saying. but she was really good in the movie and I liked the portrayal of Mrs B and I liked how the Barbour family was done. Andy was funny and enjoyable

-I liked the cinematography detail of Theo going back to his home and seeing front and center Audrey’s mug still with her lipstick mark on it, and then seeing her red sweater laid out (which looks like Boris’ sweater)

-another detail I thought was cool was kid Pippa’s ipod being an old model to show how it was in the 2000s

-little Boris had....the exact same mannerisms and clothing style as me when I was 15 but like as a boy hsbdfdsgh

-”Katy from civics....her mother’s bf” KOTKU??? IS THAT YOU??? IS THE BOYFRIEND THE HORRIBLE ABUSIVE ONE SHE RAN AWAY FROM OR IS THIS HOPEFULLY  A NICE NEW ONE? in seriousness I think having Kotku in the medium of the film  acted out by a person and not just filtered through Theos biased pov (she said she saw him as a little brother...) would have been cool

-I know this probably isnt what happened but I will Meme:  Crowley took one look at the “Popchyk is a gay dog” line and said we HAVE to cut half that dogs scenes

[me-uglypretty]

NONONONO THANK YOU but also like how dare you cause i haven’t been able to watch anymore until now and it’s all i’ve legit been able to think about

but yeah no the suspense is for real and i totally get what you’re saying! there’s definitely not been a superhero based type of show (that comes to my mind atm) with this type of suspense! it’s always about the suspense of if the hero will make it or who finds out about the hero type of vibe, but the suspense of this show is more thriller like vibes for sure. the quality of the show is so good too! i’m very confused as to why this show didn’t have more hype when it aired!?!?

(omg wait major throwback- but runaways is giving me the same vibes as a nickelodeon show called house of anubis! it was a small silly little show that barely anyone knew of but i ate that shit up and the suspense vibes from that kids show was insanely good)

ANYWAYS, yes! molly needs to be protected at all costs!! if anyone messes with her they’ll have to go through me first! ! ! !

((is it ever truly a friends to lovers arc if there isn’t anything problematic happening though? especially if it’s happening in the marvel universe ? ex: fitzsimmons from agents of shield))

(((OMG I WILL GLADLY GIVE ALL THE INPUTS IM SO FREAKING EXCITED NOW AND THAT’D BE COOL IF YOU REWATCHED IT TOO BUT YOU ALSO DON’T HAVE TOO IF YOU DONT WANT TO, NO PRESSURE ik rewatching shows takes up a lot of time cause i tend to do that)))

((((lol thanks! nicknames are a forte of mine if i do say so myself, if you don’t believe me just ask my pets and their million names))))

(((((wow, sorry that was very long)))))

((((((also be prepared for more in of the put from yours truly))))))

(((((((okay one last thing i promise, how are we feeling about the parentheses? is it annoying? should i do bullet points instead?)))))))

~ input runaway anon

THE SHOW WAS SLEPT ON! IT DIDN’T GET ENOUGH PROMO OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT EVEN WHEN THE LEAD IS LITERALLY A GLOWING LESBIAN??? All my fav show ends up being underrated or cancelled. Am I cursed with loving shows like that or characters who ends up d wording??? Maybe.

(HOUSE OF ANUBIS??? YOU MEAN *COVERS ONE EYE WITH HAND*??? i used to watch that show every night like I NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS and did that sign like it was normal. I get what you’re saying, but the difference between the two…like I know I would be cracking my head if I ever rewatch house of anubis, and just complain about all the things that didn’t make sense but still eat it up)

((For me, it all started with Jade and Tori from Victorious like they were the founding mothers of the lgbtq+ to me, or just mostly the writers who wrote fan fictions about them. marvel are cowards is all I say to the amount of things they ignore))

(((I’VE JUST STARTED REWATCHING AGENT OF CARTER CAUSE I’M MISSING HER HOURS but I’m gonna go rewatch runaways soon cause I’ve been missing smol Nico and tall glowing Karolina and the best part of the show that I'm not sure you've seen yet??))) 

((((YOUR INPUTS ARE IMPORTANT, INPUT RUNAWAY ANON! And I have lots of nicknames for my pets too. Give all your emotions in any way easy for you!! I’m just here to go cap locks with you and scream about runaways or anything else like why does the good show and character always end))))

Ah yes, rythym hive, the game that makes each update make me legit not feel like playing hdjahsh. I don't blame ya for not being interested, many svt fans that are getting it just for svt have complains about it and they are valid.

I know we shouldn't compare it to the superstar games as dalcom had years of perfecting their games (they aren't perfect at time ether) and bighit bought out this company to make their games who probably don't have much experience making such games yet. I understand that but you can tell how much rythym hive is lacking while having some shining moments but its the cons that put you off, especially with the current state of updates. The fact that your free diamonds have NO purpose, legit no purpose to be used. Now yes, I can get them for say the disc's for playing a song or coins and maybe some of the less cool stickers for the diary but the fact I cannot use them in exchange for paid stuff (that mind you, was something you could do prior) is just a big fish slapping to the face to the players who were there since day one (when apparently it was in alpha state that legit was never stated in the game when downloading?) Sure you can get icons by completing quests but its much time consuming to complete the icons as it is random. That's why I agree, having the options to "make things go faster" by having fans pay extra to get a special theme like those new birthday ones is cool and if fans have saved up enough special currency to buy things, let them. The fact we cannot do that anymore is just a huge question mark to me, its very everything behind a pay wall. I cannot buy tbe themes for anything despite having 7,000 diamonds and I cannot use them.

Ah mix stages were its own completely different section! Those are the games version of daily tasks you would see in superstar. Mix stages are like you know in the chapter stages (they used to be called seasons instead) where some of the tasks is to play 3 songs in one go? Like a mini Playlist of a minute and a half song and then it switched to the next songs? That was mix stages. You could decide what songs to play and add them as the mix Playlist for others to play. Playing other mixes could give you rewards (it was how some people got better cards i believe) so the fact it is gone and I legit cannot find them anymore is so weird..no one can, im guessing its the 4th box that says "coming soon"? So why can't we play it anymore?

The gameplay can be confusing so I understand xD changing to 4x speed is what I prefer because it is similar in speed to the superstar games I think? So I can play it easily! 5x it depends lolol. I do like you can switch the speed, that is a nice touch. Not perfect as the 1x speed is so confusing but helpful indeed. Are the beatmaps easier? In some ways they are i can admit that! Its only when the chapter challenge songs and they have a specific 5x speed challenge or you have to have all notes be marvelous I struggle lol. In general while there are some positives it isn't as fun and engaging to me? Its nice to get good cards like an xr which is their version of an r card but idk...no proper leader board and ranking, the changes to the updates where its no longer free (i get they need to make money but I am confused why go this route?) Maybe they may fix it? Idk but so far, its the closest we will get to having a svt game again which is a shame and I don't like to say it but it is bighit we should side eye, while pledis isn't bought out they still are under what bighit says so they didn't like that a super popular group was under a game that wasn't theirs thus superstar pledis closed which means the one game we could play nuest songs, pristin, etc...is gone. No we won't get them in rhythm hive, it's only for active groups as we can tell (unless bighit surprises me lol) and it feels like a less fun experience it is a bit blah to see that :c idk maybe I am biased with the superstar games so djsjdjs

How are you doing though? How is your wrist? Hopefully better!! Also svt movie?

yeah i have kept in mind that dalcomsoft as a company has more experience with rhythm games, so i feel like in some ways i can't blame the developers of rhythm hive for doing what they can. but tbh either way some of the decisions they made for the game are just stupid & greedy. the best thing to use the free diamonds for is definitely the card packs but i don't think i'll ever be over the whole free vs paid diamonds thing

ooh i gotcha! that is weird that they took away a whole feature of the game away like that... i can only assume they wanted to fix some major bugs or rework how it works before they make it available again. but you'd think they'd announce something like that

the speed thing was so confusing to me at first! since the default is 1x i thought that the actual song would speed up on the other modes and i didn't understand why anyone would want that TT. but i was also super frustrated by how close together the notes were. now i can only really play on 5x speed dkfjhg it's more the speed i'm used to from superstar. i can see how lower speeds would be useful for accessibility reasons though. if your eyes can't track things as fast, then slower speeds would probably make it way easier to actually play. but imo 5x speed should be the default and then u can lower it if needed. or maybe i'm just biased to my own preference dkfjg

i'm sure rhythm hive will continue updating and hopefully they listen to their user base and improve... but yeah im still mad at hybe for forcing ssp to end for their own gain. like yeah that's exactly what i expect a corporation under capitalism to do but that doesn't mean i'm gonna like it lol. and even despite updates there's a very slim chance they're ever gonna add nu'est, as/oc, pristin songs which to me is the biggest loss in all this (fingers corssed they at least add fromis_9 eventually... there needs to be some gg representation on rh)

i know everyone complains about how little pledis cares for its artists, and there is truth is some of the things people say. but like, pledis also clearly has a number of employees that genuinely care about the company's history and their groups, past and present. whereas it's seems pretty clear no one at hybe gives a shit about past pledis groups. and like, i do get it. why would a hybe employee care about a group that disbanded years ago and never had a direct affiliation with their company? but its also just frustrating to see as a fan u know?

but anyway, i'm doing well! i'm waiting to hear back about an internship that might lead to a full time job if i get it so fingers crossed for that TT my wrists were doing a lot better for a while there! but they've been acting up again the last week again... luckily they mostly seem to hurt late at night & early in the morning which like,,, idk what that's about but at least they're not hurting 24/7!

i'm so excited for svt movie!! me and M (@minghaosmilfshirt) are going to see it together, we already got tickets ;-; when it was first announced i was worried it was only on those screenx screens, and the closest one would have been about 5.5 hours away, but fortunately there's a screening about 40 minutes away dfkjg. i'm also wondering if the performances will be ot13 or not... the movie is also supposed to have interviews and such which i'm sure are ot13, since the movie description said as much. but if the performances they mentioned are from POL then obviously they'll only be ot11 :')

[x-exo]

Lolol I had st first thought maybe you were busy so I didn't send right away but then it was getting long with time so I tried once, then twice and another until I gave up thinking either the app doesn't like me or maybe I annoyed you djajdjajdsj BUT you made that post and I gasped. Quickly sent an ask which you got so yay!! *happy dances* i must ask how are you doing!? I hope well, I see you made another sideblog hehe. I support

Now onto our beans!! First monsta x, ahhhh just, perfection. Literally monsta x always delivers with perfect style and music. Legit if you want some mafia themes with some sxhmexy spice then monsta x is for you lol. I'm a bit sad to shownu didn't join the promos *sigh* but i understand! Hyungwon and jooheon did a great job covering his part (which I was surprised to hear their vocals because usually in my experience they would either lip sing to the backing track or leave the spot empty for the missing member so to hear them sing was a surprise!) No wins sadly but its alright, the boys did amazing nonetheless and am proud of them! Fjakdjak me with secrets as well. I'm bopping and am thinking 'wait, why do I understand what they are singing' then I noticed it was in English as well haha. Gambler is on repeat alot I just cannot get enough of it

Now onto exo, the kings. The legends, the boys are back *insert the boys are back from hsm3* this comeback is everything. I legit cannot say anything bad about the title track nor bsides, they are all great and fun to listen to! No skips, the fact they even worked on it to make it like a gift for the fans. I'm going to cry ndkajdja. CAN WE TALK ABOUT LAY VEING FULLY HERE LIKE !?!? HELLO MISTER LAY, WELCOME BACK! I legit thought this would be like tempo but worse because while news was saying a 'full' exo comeback, no news for lay for a while and while I was happy to see his teasers (forever am salty we only have one album of lay at all which is the jewel case version. I understand things might be tricky but still ya know?) I was fishy lol. I had no trust with sm but to our surprise we hear lay more properly. Sure he could have more lines but he isn't pulling an nct winwin so I'm not complaining!! I will take this over tempo lol. Apparently they shot the mv during minseok and his bday so that made me extra soft, exo won over butter so I'm happy dancing. As they should, as they should. Records were broken so all I can say is stan exo for a better life I guess.

Now seventeen!! Its finally comeback time so thoughts on the comeback? Ngl I at first didn't bop to ready to love, I feel bad because always their comebacks were ones I always enjoyed and liked right away but yet, this time around I watched the mv and listened to the song and was sitting there confused like ??? That was all, I felt a bit like there was something missing within the song but I couldn't tell what and it was bugging me for a week njdjajd. However, I had the song on repeat and it grew on me!! Which is very much ok I think, while I did feel bad, im human and we all have different tastes and not everyone will like title tracks! The chorus is super catchy and the guitar? I think it is the guitar lol, that you hear is fantastic. I still think the song is missing something but this might be just me being nit picky. It is a huge summer bop, very much fitting for seventeen.

Ok that is all for me, I shall be going! Let us hope this also sends or else I am fish slapping my phone lol

I did... for pentagon... lord help me 🙌 good thing they're not releasing anything anytime soon so i can focus on my OTHER sideblogs fuihdiufhif

yeahhh it's a pity he couldn't join promotions :(( but anything for his health and wellbeing (but maybe they could have let him do the naiver now lives and fan signs but 🤷🏻‍♀️) it was so cute seeing him go to the concept store thingy and getting his albums and photo cards and visiting his boys during music shows pls he's so endearing i lov him!! I feel bad they couldn't even get one win with gambler bc it's sooooo good omg it's really one of the best title track releases this half year but since music show wins don't care about quality but only quantity...yeah SAD but I it's nice seeing jooheon so happy with his baby song I hope he's super proud of the masterpiece he's made!

EXO. SEXTUPLE MILLION SELLER EXO. They did THAT! without promotions whatsoever and without stepping a foot inside any music shows!! sciuhsdicudfvb legends only 💅🏼 same! i'm glad we could hear yixing in all the songs omg sm could have made it worse so i'll take what i can get and i'll cherish it! and now we've got THE KYUNGSOO making his solo debut!!!! aaahhhhh I can't wait to listen to all his songs omg i bet they're all so nice and good 🤧 also apparently he filmed his mv back in his hometown and with kids and stuff so yeah PREPARE THE PAPER TISSUES!!

ONTO SEVENTEEN NOW.

WELL. I don't really vibe with this comeback tbh idk RTL sounded good in the teasers but then the mv dropped and the album dropped and I- idk i wasn't feeling it (not gonna lie and say i haven't been singing the "runaway" part on repeat in my head FOR DAYS) but idk it doesn't feel like a seventeen song if that makes sense??? as for the rest of the album...I only like Anyone tbh...I feel bad for not vining with the rest but as you said we're human so all we have to do is wait for the next comeback! not gonna talk about the mv bc it was pretty meh for my taste tbh (coming from home; run... now they give me super saturated images, no story and a rain scene that makes it impossible to even see the members...) but yeah also it's so sad all that's happened during this comeback period... first minghao not being able to participate on the choreo, then the covid and quarantine thing not allowing them to step out of their rooms for ten day right after they had their first offline fansign with carats and now coups falling and injuring himself and not being able to end promotions on a high note... this comeback feels kind of cursed :(( but after all they seem happy so that's what really matters! (I'm living for seungkwan's ending fairy moments tbh lmaooo)

That's it for today! sorry for taking so long to answer fiuhfguyfhn i'll be fast next time I promise! I hope you're good! 🥰💕💖

[moriiyun]

(sort of) first listen: day6's the book of us: negentropy - chaos swallowed up in love

i say sort of first listen because i've heard the first 3 songs on this album before, i just haven't heard the rest. and honestly, day6's music is so complex so this reaction definitely does not do it justice, so yea!!

also reminder these are just my opinions and takeaways pls don’t kill me thanks :D

everyday we fight

i heard this before but why am i noticing so many things now???? like the funky synth bit after the first chorus and the way the 2nd chorus transitions into the 1st part of the bridge wha,,,,,, and there are 2 sections of the bridge which are completely different and i was so baffled that i went backwards to hear it again because i couldn't believe it LMAO. only day6 things i guess. also dowoon is really doing the most on the drums because there is a lot of marching band snare stuff going on especially in the pre-chorus. that's interesting tho cos it's like a battle cry, the snare drum. plus at the end of the song there is a 'ding' which is like that sound when you win a boxing match and it's like 'everyday we fight' so day6 really said fight references this is genius i love this i think it's called wordsplaining?? idk

you make me

i've heard this so many times so now whatever is here is just me nitpicking LOL but seriously, there is so much detail in this there is so much to unpack geez. like first off structure wise there are so many music breaks it actually doesn't make sense but it does. idk. also the bridge literally goes straight from the 2nd chorus non stop and then we transition into a final chorus type thing (or is it a 2nd bridge?) and i have no idea what went on there but it is good. and the pre-chorus is like 2 lines long?? strange but it works so oh well who am i to complain. also on the instrumentation,,, there seems to be like 3 layers of drums, 1 is definitely an edm beat cos it's too fast to play so that's a synth thing, 1 is dowoon playing the legit actual drums during the chorus parts but the last one is strange. it's mostly used during the verses and pre-chorus, and in the background during the chorus. it sounds like a drum pad so not the actual drum kit but the black thing that works like a drum when u hit it, but during the chorus how do u play 2 drums??? like nani?? i suspect he plays drum pad during the verses and the chorus is just an edm synth track that they recorded before hand. either that or they used a loop machine thing for the drum pad sound. i really dunno cos there's no live stages so rip. if anyone asks why i pick up drums soundwise first when i learn guitar, i have no idea okay,, i just do lol. also can we give a shoutout for vocals for 5 seconds,, especially wonpil's falsetto-belt-falsetto in the bridge like damn. talent.

healer

okay i've heard this one before too and this song is. interesting. cos it made me realise that this album so far has basically been even of day's sound with fuller instrumentation. it's more synth than piano based and that's not bad, it's just new for day6 imo. this song is mostly interesting structure?? like the synth bit at the intro was funky and the verse dropping down into the pre-chorus before going up into the chorus just works?? idk. also i'm gonna take a moment to talk about the post-chorus because this is one of the most effective post-choruses i know. i'm not the biggest fan of post-chorus stuff cos it's kinda weird sometimes but this works idk. the synth melody that they play during that part is addicting and also for some reason very destabilising? like idk feels like i'm flying in the sky with peter pan or something. it works for me it sounds really nice. also once again the bridge is a strange one because it's basically a whole section of loud crowd-cheering type sounds and then 1 actual proper line and them BOOM chorus again. a bit like the bridge of shoot me except that bridge has 2 sections 1 cheering one actual singing. this doesn't really have that but somehow it works for the song. day6 are magic i don't make the rules. also can you imagine this in concert with an actual crowd T_T

only

what. WHAT. i haven't heard this one before and i kid you not my mouth was open for the whole song in SHOCK. remember when i said so far the album was very even of day style? well the intro of this song said SIKE and now i can't process SHIT. like what even happened???????? it all sounds good tho. this song is really calming and i will probably start registering it when i start listening to it more. but i'm just gonna talk about verse 2 for a second because ???????????????????????? im so shook someone sang in a low timbre and i was like ??? who this ?? and i was like oh maybe it's jae and i couldn't figure it out until the end of the verse TURNS OUT IT'S FREAKING BRIAN/YOUNG K WHAT EVEN THAT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE HIM ????????????? im so confused day6 vocal kings i guess. also the bridge...sungjin just kept climbing up and i was like wait his range isn't gonna make it to the end of the bridge but nO IT TRANSITIONS TO BRIAN SO SMOOTHLY AND ONCE AGAIN I AM BAFFLED HOW DO THEY DO THIS. many questions no answers. also outro bit was really nice and it led into a fadeout that i don't usually like but was expected for this song cos this song definitely needs a fadeout so yknow, it works. anywho good song still very baffled but good song. also last note i forgot about this but they were doing a lot of voice echoing like choir-esque bits and that was super cool.

above the clouds

first things first: the return of shaker, acoustic guitar and piano my beloved <3 like the sounds were so pretty and acoustic in the first verse i knew there was gonna be a drop somewhere but the drop came in a place i didn't expect and in a way i didn't anticipate - turns out it's the one melody i remember from the teasers and now it's gonna be stuck in my head forever because it's that good of a melody. i also didn't expect the drums to go that hard but they did and it works out so yknow what i can't complain. once again day6 are wordsmiths and musical geniuses because they started the song very softly with the sound of wind, as if you're flying in the sky cos 'above the clouds' but not only that they end with a similar windy sound and they also end similar to landed (by even of day) which is so poetic and ironic because landed = on the ground and this song is 'above the clouds' like seriously this is the biggest brain shit ever. the bridge has an ascending bit which is super cliche but idk this is one of those songs where you want them to follow the cliche melody??? idk but it worked for me and this might be one of my faves in the album so far.

one

this song ................... wack. it starts with an almost hip hop beat and i was like ??? but then it slowly layers more vocals and instrumentals and suddenly it sound like well, a day6 song. and i cannot explain how in love i am with the chorus, it feels like the rallying cry of the broken people, and it just reaches you in a very different way from the rest of the song and is completely different. also there is someone singing a lower harmony at certain parts of the verse and it is so LOW and i cannot figure out who sings it but it almost sounds like dowoon so like DOWOON MAYBE VOCALS???? idk but yea it is one interesting harmony because usually day6 layer upwards and not downwards, but this really adds depth, like so much of it and it works for that portion. also the bridge is super cool cos it starts right after the chorus but the drums cut out but then they come back in so you focus on that and then as it's building up it abruptly just stops. and the music cuts out for a good 3 counts and you're so confused and then suddenly mini drum solo !!!!!! and it makes you anticipate and look forward to the chorus that much more because it just stops and you're left wanting so much more, especially because it echoes off at the end and DOESN'T RESOLVE NICELY. it makes you feel like the song isn't done or is too short. overall it's an incredible song and it really is just that good aaaaaa

so let's love

woah. literally this song is so......idk anymore. it starts off super acoustic and just very mellow but it just suddenly cuts to what you think is the chorus but nO it's actually the pre-chorus so it feels like you false started and it's so mind boggling and suddenly instrument breaks everywhere and no proper second verse, we immediately get a pre-chorus and second chorus and then drum and electric guitar break ????? and then bridge which is CRAZY because we go from falsetto airy stuff to BELTING and suddenly it goes quiet and then INTENSIFIES WITH 2 LAYERS OF SINGING before quieting down and ending. and it really is such a fitting ending to the album because it encompasses the absolute chaos because there isn't a regular proper structure and yet it's beautiful and melodic and sings about soft things and it feels like a warm hug. basically 'chaos swallowed up in love' put into music. and it's so fitting and just works because this is just a day6 sound that is so. them. and it's what this album is all about, the strangeness of it all with something familiar, which is probably what makes it such a welcome listen.

edit

figured out why this song hits different: it’s desperate and sad as fk. hits you straight in the feels because it’s as if they’re yearning for something but it’s so out of reach that they just. stop. idk it really is just heart wrenching in every single way. someone compared it to ‘i need somebody’ but idk i feel like it’s same but different.

overall, day6 never disappoints and it's once again an epic album from them. this is my first ot5 comeback as a myday so this album is super special to me and to have such a beautiful tracklist is amazing. it's incredible what day6 do every single time, they are insanely good at what they do and i'm so glad that i have their music.

bro-- long time no chat!!

things have been better good lately between me and the partner. a few weeks ago- well probably more than a month ago now... i read a tweet that hit me about loving someone fully-- i felt like i was holding back because they are moving away, and so i was shutting them off slowly to protect myself instead of loving them fully-- because i had already made the decision that we wont work out when they move, and i realized that isn’t true necessarily. the future is malleable. And plus reading their ish about me sending emails had me stop cuz i was like ah. lol. but idk i have been feeling like im in a new funk lately

I just miss having good sex. I feel very uncomfortable in my body. I’ve gained a decent amount of weight in the last 6 months and I feel significantly less attractive. I feel bad I’m not having good sex and I do not feel confident that I could attract someone and have better sex with where my body is right now. I also feel uncomfortable to be on camera because of my body weight and I am too big for my cute outfits from last year. I also partly feel like I gain more weight when im with someone and when im single i push myself more to be fit to attract people and to feel more confident going on dates. I almost think I need a pause from hanging out with my partner until I have my workout routine down and i’m taking it seriously, because I know going to their house and doing nothing isn’t what I want to be doing anymore. I want to be working out and losing weight. I want to be working on my creative projects. I want to be moving forward. I need to continue creating content. 

I am missing having good sex again. which is a feeling that seems to swing like a pendulum. it comes and goes every month or 2. The past few times has been me wanting to top and touch my partner and they were like okay i’m cool with that now. and even before that it was about them touching me and why wont the go down on me and then after i complained they just did it, even though before they said they were too nervous. And it is amazing to think of, in the past,, idk 6 months how far they’ve come. They literally didn’t even want to be naked around me, didn’t want me to touch them at all-- and for the first time recently they are asking me to touch them now... but it still doesn’t hit right.... like when i have sex with them the orgasms are soooo small... i cum harder when im alone. which is the sad truth. 

This has all made me better realize how sex is something very important to me in a relationship. I feel like at first I was hesitant to say something like that because I’ve had people in the past act as if all I care about is sex and i’m a fuck boy... which, sex isn’t the only thing I care about but it is something I do care about and matters to me when it comes to dating and there isn’t any thing wrong with that. It took me years to except my sexuality and I learned there is no reason to hide my sexual wants and desires and I feel like people have acted like im some super horny sex freak when I just learned not to be ashamed of my sexual desires, literally like how must white str8 men are, but because im perceived as a black woman, i’m the one who is being deviant.

It took me a long time to accept my sexuality, and then it took me even longer to accept my sexually kinky bdsm desires. It took me so long to learn that there isn’t any reason to be ashamed of wanting to be dominated. I’m allowed to be more masc presenting and be a bottom. Like i really was so embarrassed about that for so long-- probably because I hung out with only str8 white cis men who would find it embarrassing if they wanted to be dominated, because they can only be dominate in bed otherwise other people might judge them... anyways im so glad i do not hang with any str8 cis white boys anymore, they really had a bad influence on me when it came to my views on dating, sex, and women. they all talk about it like women are real people and i also was guilty of that. i’ve grown a lot since being in college. It was when i was half way through college i started accepting the fact that i like the idea of being sexually dominated. i like tall women. i love muscular women. i love people who are tops, dominate, who want to be called daddy. I love all that shit. and when i would mention it to my white str8 cis dude friends they would react in disgust. and honestly it taught me if ppl react that way to my sexual desires that have taken me so long to accept, then they have no space in my friend circles. im basically done being friends with str8 white cis people. they are exhausting to be friends with. 

but anyways, last year,,, ehhh it always feels like it was last year but i guess it was two years ago,, well partly last year.. idk ... anyways when i met o**** That relationship was the first time I was open with someone I was having sex with about being trans and my dysphoria and they honestly responded so well and fucked me in very affirming ways and it made me cry because i had never felt such joy before when having sex and feeling gender euphoria. 

I always thought that I didn’t want to be in a relationship that was like butch/femme when i was a baby dyke. I used to not want a  relationship that even resembled heterosexuality in anyway. but when i was with o**** i felt we had that dynamic of butch/femme. like when we went out it was clear who the “guy” in the relationship was and it was me. it was clear I was filling that role and they filled the other role and to my surprise i loved it. I loved having that dynamic. I loved going to the sex shop with them and the worker helping me get a masc harness and then assuming they want a femme one. I loved knowing that out in public people see me as the guy in the relationship-- because I want to be seen as a guy in general. Being with them opened up this whole side of gender euphoria I had never felt before. That relationship helped me better understand what I want and am looking for. Not to mention the sex was amazing, the best i’ve ever had. 

When we first started dating I would top them and it felt great and amazing. Then when I opened up and said I like to be dominated too, they just slide right into that roll with little to no hesitation. And then they started dominating and topping me and found that they really like it. It was the hottest sex I’ve ever had. I’ve always wanted to be dominated and having a dominate femme is so hot. My sexual dreams were finally coming true. And because things were so easy for us sexually I think I just assumed it would always be that way. 

Its unfortunate that o**** is such a manipulative person otherwise I’d still be talking to them/fucking them. I still think about approaching them with the idea of just having a sexual relationship and not romantic and see if they are interested. but now isn’t a good time with rona. but anyways, Things working out with us so well sexually I assumed that would just be how it is if I open up and share my wants and desires. I didn’t want to be dating o*** I just wanted to be dominated again and I had gotten it out of my system and they confessed that they still see me as the love of their life, which is the opposite of how I felt so it felt like things should end here. But lets be real, I str8 up dropped them, ghosted them, because I no longer needed their fuck because I had found someone new k****. As soon as k**** said they thought I was cute back I was like BINGO and I legit just dropped o****. I felt like a beast. I felt like a boss ass bitch. Like damn, I have never gotten back with someone to have a good time to just drop them once I found someone new that maybe has potential. 

But me feeling like a boss ass bitch came to a halt when like a day later or something k**** was like im really busy with pride and then im leaving for the summer. I was like wow great. I really didn’t want to take this L so I went out of my way to hit on them constantly at cpride as much as I could. Then I finally got them to agree to see be before they leave. it went well. then over the summer I was soooo anxious about every email. I just didn’t want them to lost interest in me and also it was hard to respond to their emails because they were boring lmao. I also was stressed because there was like zero flirting going on and every time i’d try to move the conversation there they would take two steps back. This made me even more insecure and not sure if they even liked me. And I made the stupid move of not trying to hit on anyone else out of fear of them coming back and me having to pick one or explain and shit. meanwhile they were dating other people. its so annoying. its so annoying that im the one not satisfied and they got to date and be with other people... but i guess thats just cuz no one else wanted to be with me......I was literally only okay with it cuz i thought s***** liked me and they didn’t... they lowkey played me... but also i should’ve taken the mixed signals as a no, but i wanted to believe it so bad, and it was confusing when they said they want to make out with me more. i thought i was in... oh well... it happens... it just sucks to be rejected. i always feel like the people i want the most never want me, or like the hottest people, cuz i didn’t really like them deeply just mostly sexually. it just sucked because they were giving me every thing k**** wasn’t. being lovey and affectionate towards me.... and we never fucked but they were very open about being a top and wanting to dom and so i was like *tongue out emoji* 

bleh... i just have been missing being dominated lately... i mean i fuckin had a dream about s***** topping me... askvask it was good in the dream....but there is something depressing about k***** having like zero daddy energy. like i really didn’t realize this was gonna happen... like i was str8 up gooped when they casually texted me saying they don’t fuck... i was like wait what?? i felt played that they waited months of us talking and emailing to say that. And I stuck by them cuz I had already formed an emotional bond-- but i’m realizing the tricky part about this is that like having to wait to have sex with someone,, like I never knew if we would be a sexual match and honestly neither did they but it wasn’t a deal breaker for them.. i just feel bad to like help them come out of their shell and feel autonomy with having sex for the first time and shit and for me to be like well you aren’t my type sexually. but it is the truth. they aren’t my type sexually. like the other day i mentioned wanting to be dommed and they were like i dont do that... and i was like ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... i need to be more upfront and say im looking for a top/dom/daddy, or someone who switches and is down to play that way some of the time. cuz this none of the time shit stank. 

I mean, they look hot, don’t get me wrong. they look so good in their little body suits and they really make me wanna top them, but its like they have no confidence in being a bottom too. I feel like that’s why this shit really stank. at first they was like yeah i’ll touch you but dont touch me. But also I am not into being a top/dom. but also you can’t touch me so this is all you can get. Me, unenthusiastically rubbing you off. but now that they do let me touch them, it’s like i want the whole bottom experience. like shake ur tiny ass for me baby. run ur hands up and down ur bottom. show me how far you can stretch ur leg. I want a sloppy slutty bottom. I want them to shake their ass on my d and bend over for me. Tell me how good it feels. I want our sex to be so hot we can’t keep our hands off each other. We have phone sex and send voice memos because we just need to hear each other cum. I want them to want to ride my d. 

I feel this way every 2 months or so... idk what to do about it. I don’t want to break up with them and be alone. I do want to be having sex with someone else... I just dont have any prospects. 

lets hypothetically think about the idea of bringing up to them that I want to fuck other people. lets say we have that talk and they are okay with it. My worry is if i meet someone nice who fucks me good i will just leave k****. 

i just miss being topped and I dont think I will ever be sexually satisfied in the relationship I’m in and it’s just unfortunate because I was very patient with them and waiting like 8 months before I could even touch them and they seemed comfortable having sex with me and it’s like, waiting that long i was never sure if we were sexually compatible and we just aren’t. And i understand they mostly have been with asexual people and it hasn’t been an issue but i think this wouldn’t have happened if in the beginning we had a conversation about sex to see if we are sexually compatible.

some speculation

check under on why this is like this and we’re left here with this mess

ok so when my friend and i first learned of the ridiculous 1 translation per 4000 years thing, i asked the east asian studies professor at my college. she’s uhhh. iffy. maybe ill make some post complaining about some of her problematic behavior on my main or side or something, but that’s all im putting about her here. she’s just...iffy. i dont normally interact with her for reasons.

so anyways i asked her what the heck is up with this confusing shit show that is academia. and she said that while some chinese classics like journey to the west get “rewritten”/”reworded” to be more “exciting” and interesting to the general public, fsyy did not get this treatment. since ive actually read the english version, ill say it’s very dry. the plot is really action filled and fun, yes, but the wording and narration of it is rather. plain. straight forward. a bit boring tbh lol. i had wondered if that was just the translation/localization’s fault, but no. it sounds like even the original chinese wording is kinda dry to native speakers lol. this lack of interest/demand has resulted in the 4000 year old classic book having only 1 complete english translation.

and as a result of generally being dry, many chinese people might not have even read this book lol. 

that doesnt stop the cool characters like nezha, jiang ziya, or daji from becoming stock characters in fantasy/xianxia movies, books, tv shows, etc. i legit saw a freaking romance donghua webcomic of the undying love of daji and king zhou and their reincarnation or something and i thought it was absolutely hilarious considering how they are in the source material lmao.

this book is pretty culturally influential and reading it might help you understand that new chinese movie/drama/whatever that you want to get into better. however, you probably shouldn’t assume that every chinese person you meet has read it and/or knows everything about it lol. i personally just treat it the same as english classic since the general opinions on classic literature of either “we only read this because we had to in school” (general public/non-bookworms) or “yeah so im a big book/history nerd and read this for fun” (me lol) seems to be universal lol. sadly tho this also led to the whole “1-translation-per-4000-years” problem due to low public demand/awareness of general existance for it in countries other than china.

sorry if that seems to be common sense but i figured that id just say it in case someone cough my professor cough needs to hear it bc of flashbacks of my professor’s iffy attitude regarding related things so yeah.

TL;DR as influential as this book is, its writing is really honestly dry and has caused low demand for translations = 1 translation + ridiculous paywall of academia bc this classic is such a classic that only nerds and students and collectors in english language countries must want it, so of course we, the greedy capitalist publishing/distribution company, must squeeze them dry of all their money!

again, a disclaimer that this post/explaination of why the book is like this is speculation between me, my friend, and our college professor. 

but seriously the basics of economics are supply and demand, and when demand is low to non-existent, the supply will be the same. it sounds pretty simple and plausible to me, but seriously if anyone finds the real reason why the heck the price tag on these things is like this, please tell me.please. im begging you to help me make sense of this. im just. so confused. my brain is absolutely boggled. can you imagine trying to buy a copy of some super common classic like the lord of the rings and then getting told that each volume in the series typically costs $120? each volume better be some first edition, signed by the author himself or something to justify that shit. ok, so maybe the price of books that need to be translated are a bit higher to compensate the translator/import company, but even classics of non-english language origin like the three musketeers, tale of genji, the illiad, anna karenina, etc., dont cost this much. there has to been a reason this one classic book is getting the same overpriced academic treatment that college textbooks get.

sorry im just still super salty abt this. and im normally a p chill person, but this academic/elitist culture and the resulting price tag have made me super super angry in ways ive never been before lol.

Lance’s vlog was good??

So Lance’s paladin vlog was FINALLY released (you can watch it here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6D8P2E5-lk)

And as usual, the fandom was being unappreciative and just rude in general to Dreamworks about the vlog. TBH the Voltron fandom has become such a mess as the series has progressed due to some immature fans practically bullying Dreamworks to put out what they want, not what was planned. And (especially on twitter omg) ive been seeing “fans” complaining about how Lance’s vlog sucked and how dreamworks can keep it or whatever. Having just watched it myself, I actually thought it wasn’t that bad?? If anything, i think it was adorable and fit Lance perfectly?? and heres my sort of reasoning behind that

Lance’s crush on Allura is legit the most canon thing in the entire show. And its amazing how much its grown from just a simple crush to full out admiring and respecting her as a strong powerful woman. But i think what some people aren’t realizing is that this admiration IS what makes up so much of Lance’s character. He’s striving to improve himself and become stronger to be viewed as an equal and as a strong team player in Allura’s eyes, not anyone elses. Going back to season 3, where Blue pushed away Lance and he wasn’t sure what to do next, it was Allura who reassured him that the team can’t do without him, and he is able to fly Red. And of course, he was! And S4 really went more into their relationship, not as romantic partners, but just as friends who respect and help support eachother. Personally, Lance’s biggest character development was in s4, with the “heart of voltron” speech to Allura. That speech showed how mature he is and how far his belief carried Allura, for her to be able to perform skills she never imagined. So of course he’d be gushing about Allura in his vlog (heck who wouldnt!!) because she is the epitome of the strong individual he wants to be. Allura is Lance’s goal, not to date, but to become; a strong leader who’s respected by everyone.

I think also everyone’s expectations were raised too high after Keith’s vlog, since his was the ONLY vlog to really divulge into a more personal side. Coran and Allura’s vlogs didn’t talk about their personal feelings either, just the team and how things had been changing. But, looking at their characters, this makes sense. Keith is someone who holds alot of emotional baggage and insecurities, and he’s not good with emotion. He doesn't know how to hold back and where to stop, so it makes sense how he went off on a tangent near the end of his vlog, then imminently ended it. Allura on the other hand is extremely poised and knows how to keep up a strong front, no matter how fake, in order to keep her team up and motivated. So of course she wouldn’t break down. Even with the revelation of her whole planet dying, and having to literally “kill” her own father, she never showed any weakness to the other team mates, even though they’ve all become extremely close, so of course she wouldn’t share personal things in this vlog. Coran as well, no matter how goofy he’s portrayed, had to leave behind everything he’d ever known (how he woke up in the cryopod with his eyes OPEN omg) for the tiny chance that Allura’s future wouldn’t be jeopardized, so he wouldn’t divulge either.

that brings us to Lance. People need to stop getting fanon Lance and Canon Lance confused, because i think thats where alot of the trouble stems from. Lance in VLD is a fun, happy go lucky character. He’s the “mood maker” of the team. now im not doubting that he def has his insecurities and worries, especially with “shiro’s” return and the lion switch, but he RARELY voices it. he only shared that thought once with Keith, and let it go afterwords. sure he misses his family, but seeing how he’s grown throughout the show, im sure he knows that the fate of the universe is a much bigger concern and his loyalty lies with voltron now. and the title “loverboy lance” isnt a bad thing either? is him appreciating strong powerful women wherever he goes, regardless of how they look, a bad thing?? (the answer is no.) and back to what i was writing earlier, Allura is this constant strong woman in his life. he’s seen her be strong in times of trouble and maintain diplomacy during the toughest of times as she carries the burden of the entire universe on her shoulders. idk about you guys but if i had someone like that in my life, i’d strive to be just like them, just as Lance is doing.

and (contrary to popular belief lol) their interactions are not entirely one sided! remember, Lance was the VERY FIRST person Allura saw after waking up from her cryopod. and just seeing the team in general, i think we can see that Allura and Lance’s team dynamic is one of the strongest out of everyone. Allura is learning to voice her fears and lean on her team for support, and Lance is always there to give her that shoulder to lean on. she obviously knows about his crush, but still holds him in high view. in her vlog, she explained how she doubted that these paladins would be able to even compare to the original paladins. but now that fear has subsided. its safe to say that Lance is the glue which holds team voltron together. and im sure without Lance, Voltron would be much to serious of a show, and would truly be unbearable. remember, the paladins (except shiro but counting keith bc hes close enough) are still kids!! they’re young teens who are still growing up and learning about life! let them be young and have fun without turning every little thing into an angsty mess. lets just appreciate things for what they are!

shipping aside, i feel that Lance and Allura’s character arcs are undoubtedly woven together, and we’re going to be seeing more of them working together and growing into strong adults together. And Lance’s vlog was just a lighthearted look into the good times he’s spent with Allura!

lastly, as a message to everyone in the fandom, just because your ships aren’t having moments or your characters aren’t changing the way you want them to doesn’t mean you can insult the creators. its their show, not yours. if you want to see characters in a different way, read fanfics! they’re amazing ways of imagining characters completely differently. and please don’t confused canon with fanon! :) lets improve the reputation of the Voltron fandom and appreciate every character whatever they give us!

((can we just all love lance and let him appreciate his space queen bye))

thx for reading this mess! <3

I ALMOST MET HER

I ALMOST MET HER Disclaimer, it's a very long story guys, it contains a lot of emotions, regret, happiness and sadness in just one post. 15th of October, 2017 One of my mutuals on twitter, changed her name to "Taylor Nation" and sent me a confidential DM (msg usually sent by Taylor Nation to all deserving swifties who got luckily invited to Taylor's secret session") I really thought it was frickin real and i even sent her my complete address and legit included "PHILIPPINES" on it. Little did i know, she was just playing around and messing with my feelings (but she is my friend tho, and i cant hate her cause she's one my fave mutuals ever) but damn guys, it really wrecked my whole damn life, i thought Taylor wants to me too 😔 i thought Taylor knows my name and how i look like. And after few hours, i was able to get my composure back and already accepted the fact that I WILL NEVER EVER MEET Taylor Alison Swift. I've been a twitter stan for a very long period of time, and always complain on how Tay put so much attention on tumblr swifties, and never appreciates twitter swifties (sorry) and since using tumblr confuses me a lot, i decided to stay on twitter and use it as my major fangirling tool lol Then lately, Taylor has been joining instagram live of some lucky swifties, so i tried my luck on IG again and made myself look like an idiot by going on IG live just to get Taylor's attention, but after 3 attempts of trying, I gave up. Then last Wednesday, 18th of October, 2017 ONE DIRECT MESSAGE ALMOST CHANGED MY WHOLE LIFE. At around 11:54AM, i got a notification again from Taylor Nation, saying "CONFIDENTIAL MESSAGE" damn babe, it's just so funny how i literally ignored it for a min bc i think someone is trying to make fun of me again, but SHIT JUST GOT REAL!!!!! GUYS!!!! I clicked on the account, and yeah, confirmed! TAYLOR NATION JUST SENT ME A DM!!!! It took a while for me to absorb everything and reply on their dm cause I was literally shaking, crying and screaming the whole frickin time bc it was frickin real and no longer a prank. I even woke all my relatives up and they thought that something bad happened to me lol and yeah it took me 4 frickin mins to send all the personal info that they need from me. And you know the drill guys, cause once Taylor Nation sends that so called "CONFIDENTIAL MESSAGE" you already know what will happen next, *internally screaming* "SECRET SESSION" babyyyyy!!!! And after getting their DM, i was so happy, it felt like I was in cloud 9! Ive never felt that genuine happiness before, added to the fact that i was also completely unstable, i wanna scream and tell the whole wide world that I am so close to meeting Taylor Swift but I cant. So i just spent the whole night and day waiting for their reply and thinking of happy memories that I am soon gonna be making with Taylor. Then Thursday morning, 19th of October 2017. My phone rings, it was a very unfamiliar yet too familiar, international number! My heart beats faster and my voice starts to tremble as I answer and say hello to the happy girl on the other line! "Heyyy Camila, ohmygod, it feels so nice to finally be able talk to you, wow" OHMYFUCKING GOD !!! THE SINCERITY AND HAPPINESS ON HER VOICE WERE SURREAL I AM TALKING TO TAYLOR NATION ON THE THE OTHER LINE She keeps on saying WOW lol so i finally said, "Hi, are you Taylor Nation? And ohhh, I'm not Camila, it's actually Cristina" (LOL GUYS, I'VE BEEN USING CAMILA'S NAME ON TWITTER FOR SO LONG, I THINK THEY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS MY PET NAME OR WHATEVER) so that's how our conversation started, she also introduced herself and i was so stupid for not remembering her name for being too hyped. All i remember was these lines "TAYLOR IS INVITING YOU TO A VERY SPECIAL AND EXCLUSIVE EVENT" "IM TELLING YOU THAT THIS IS A BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO FINALLY MEET HER" FUCK FUCK FUCK TAYLOR WANTS TO MEET ME TAYLOR KNOWS ME TAYLOR IS NOT IGNORING ME AND ALL THIS TIME, TAYLOR HAS BEEN STALKING ME AM I DREAMING? Then, i caught myself off guard when she said "I know it will really take a long journey for you, knowing that you're from the Philippines, but are you willing to take it?" I said YES (cause bitch i love taylor so much and of course ill do anything to meet her) So i asked her, "when and where" And she said "It's actually this coming Sunday in Los Angeles, can you make it?" The happy tone of her voice was still there OKAY, GUYS IM DONE MY LIFE IS RUINED I AM A TOTAL MESS "I DONT HAVE A PASSPORT AND VISA" How can I make it in L.A in three motherfucking days? I AM SO DEVASTATED So thereeeeee, she was explaining a lot of things and the only thing i could recall was "looks like you're not going to make it" and i can hear the sudden regret and sadness in her voice. I AM SO SAD. FROM BEING IN CLOUD 9 TO GODDAMN HELL REAL QUICK But before we end our conversation, i asked her one last question. "HOW DID YOU GUYS FIND ME?" I hear her laugh on the other line before she answers me "We have our own ways, we have our eyes, and we've been monitoring you for a very long time, you're such a great fan, and we love how you show your love ans support on Tay even when she's on break and especially during her TRIAL, and i really love your account" OMG WHAT TRIAL? YOU MEAN HER CASE? SO ARE THEY REALLY STALKING ME IS TAYLOR REALLY STALKING ME DID TAYLOR ALSO HANDPICK ME? THE THOUGHT OF TAYLOR STALKING ME WITHOUT ME KNOWING SOMEHOW CHANGED EVERYTHING. SHE KNOWS MY EXISTENCE. IT MADE ME FEEL BETTER I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND IT HURTS I HATE MYSELF FOR LOSING THE BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY OF MY LIFE I AM FOREVER CARRYING THIS BURDEN Also the pictures, I've been creating in my head, of me happily spending the best time of my life with Taylor in her apartment in LA, with Meredith and Olivia, was G O N E. Like G-O-N-E. GONE in just like that. My world literally crashed after the phone convo that I had with TN, it changed my whole perspective in life and also as a swiftie, i thought that I will never ever get this chance. I even told myself that if Taylor would ever invite me to her Secret Session, i would legit do anything just to be there with her. But what the fuck did just happen? I'm almost there! I've been waiting since forever. It was already Taylor who's inviting me and I just put her down 😔 This is the worst thing that could ever happen to a huge and dedicated swiftie like me. My family and friends used to say that "your time will come" and i guess that's it. That's how it works, that's how I lost the chance. The opportunity was already there, but the timing wasn't right. Ive been keeping this sadness all alone cause i made a promise to Taylor and TN to keep it until the LA Secret Session was over. And yeah, btw to all my fellow swifties who hasn't been noticed by Tay yet, don't lose hope. And also, just a quick reminder to all international Swifties especially Filo swifties, guys don't ever say that she's being unfair for not giving chances to us, i am telling you guys, she's giving equal opportunities to all her swifties and really doing her very best to meet all of us 😊 And if your time hasnt arrived, then it's not your time yet. And to Taylor Swift, i know you can't wait to meet me too and I am sorry I could make it this time but I am never losing hope, you know how much I love you, and if today's not our day then it's not our day yet. See you soonest buddy!!!! I love you with all my heart. I lost the chance to meet her at the Secret Session but at least Taylor Alison Swift knows me and somehow that was everything. Love, Cristy/TaylorUnicorn13 Supposed to be one of the LA Reputation Secret Sessioners @taylorswift

Someone saying Doppo would have ripped em off, very true

Yeah everyone mention young Doppo went for the same move when he fought that guy but he DIDN'T GENTLY HOLD THEM AND COMPLIMENT THEM

"that was nuts!" "That WAS nuts, now it's puree"

Chapter 82

Why does the buried man look like Doyle? <:/

WHAT? WHAT???

Okay cool man i think

PLATINUM RETSU PFFFFTTT

"Baki's goal: defeat his father, Katsumi's goal: lose in every single fight"

Chapter 83

Okay okay alright Baki's next boys!! I'm more excited for Honoo than for Baki tbf

I love how Hana is nearly intact

Oh hey Yuji-chan nearly forgot you existed

"i suppose..."

WRONG! Baki's 3 cm taller 🥰

I had to look up what Dickens was

Manlet on Manlet violence

Chapter 84

We are uncomfortably close to the ending

Didn't notice but my hands are shaking

Shout back to the guy saying "they've come upon their ideal lovers"

Yeah this is kinda romantic /hj

Heyyy he's a smart boy

God i just can't deal with how cute he is ;/

C'MON HONOO I TRUST IN YOU

Oh no he's doing the cockroach dash :/

Chapter 88

Oh hey regular non sexualized Miyamoto Musashi

Honoo is VERY perceptive

Chapter 89

"It's over Komusubi, i have the higher ground"

HONOO SNAPS

Chapter 90

Baki's dead

That's fucking impressive

I mean not surprising with such size

THIS IS SO DUMB I LOVE THEM

Chapter 91

IGDYYEEASSGHA YOOOOO KING SHIT

Chapter 92

My man Honoo fucking died

OH KING 🥺

AAAAUSRDYETWTTWATES 😭💞

GOD THESE MATCHS ARE SO FULL OF LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP

LITTLE SUMO GUY I WANT TO KISS YOU SO FUCKING BAD

Chapter 93

Expressions definitely got worse with time though they are still very good sometimes, like that one guy biting his lips and looking up? Perfect

Yeah this guy is right tbh

Also i fucking love how in every group picture Shibukawa is down there barely visible looking like >B3

Nice boobs

He doesn't even know he can't defeat Sukune 🤣

Baki 🤝 Hana 🤝 Reihou

Okay ngl this is kinda creepy

Chapter 94

I love how this man really was just out there living in a fucking forest alone, YET HE'S BETTER AT FLIRTING THAN ME

Yo Sukune you dropped this 👑

They are establishing dominance

Chapter 95

Oh, "that's nuts", i thought he was asking about HIS nuts

Oh right i forgot Doppo had cut this guy's ear

SHAJSJDTEHE DOPPO LIKE :Y

Okay idk why Sukune is suddenly tanned but i don't mind

"Come at me with all you've got" "I wouldn't give you anything less" DAMNNN

The other guy us taller B/

Lmao shadow sumo-ing...

HOHOHO 👀

Someone else mentioned his sudden tan lol

Chapter 96

T-tf did you expect? They are sumos. They ain't gonna wrestle.

Oh damn that's brutal

AHHHH SUKUNE STOP STOP

Chapter 97

Everyone was just out here having chill fights maybe a little brutal but nothing TOO severe and Sukune just walked in and broke that man's ribcage

STOP DUDE PLS

Chapter 98

Sukune truly didn't need to be this brutal ffs :/

So amazing, nearly a flawless victory

ON GOD <3

OH NO SUKUNE NO

"i want someone to fuck this Sukune guy up!" dude... You don't know what happens in 2 chapters from here but still don't say that...

Chapter 99

I still want to see him fight the orca

I honestly cannot see fighting a tiger as such a big achievement anymore like, Doppo did it. And no offense to him of course but if Doppo could anyone stronger than him being able too feels like ok :/

Lmao yeah can confirm

He doesn't even know 🐍

I love Sukune he's just eye candy

HEHE NICE!

SUKUNE I'M LOVING YOU DON'T DIE PLEASE

Why the fuck did they do tests on the ogre tho? Like, not why but why or how did he agree?

GET OUT OF HEREEEE

"So he doesn't need to say no homo?"

Ogre I'm begging you do not clap the sumo's cheeks

Chapter 100

HHHH Ahhh no one wants to read this chapter

No lie Kureha is so pretty

Ah yes the 4 genders, men women young and old.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKSSSS

URDYRSSYE KUREHA, WHAT?!

Holy fuck i hate this a lot wooo!!! I'm in physical pain right now!!!

Sukune bro...

HEY ASSHOLE!

Don't, don't you dare place a hand on my man Yujiro that's a threat and a plead

I'm manually breathing rn bc I'm feeling lightheaded

"I guess that's one way to get into a midlife crisis"

Problematic bisexual representation.

He grabbed a handful of that tit and even kissed him, god...

Chapter 101

Okay at least he survived in one piece SSJFSSAJFSFAD

I still can't calm down ffs

Mf got muscles in his skull

His fangs ate still cute <3

Why is he so angry out of nowhere? I thought he had solved his anger issues

Chapter 102

Second person to fell sorry for Yuji-chan 😳

TOGUKAWA POG TOKUGAWA POG-

Even Sukune is surprised

Did he use Xiao lee? Wasn't it a technique for women or whatever?

Chapter 103

DON'T BRING HIM HERE IM GONNA BREAK DOWN IN TEARS, HE DESERVED TO BECOME A MAIN RECURRING CHARACTER 😭

FFS YUJIRO FFS 😭😭😭

TOKUGAWA ARE. ARE YOU BLUSHING? ARE YOU FUCKING BLUSHING MITSUNARI? I'M. GOD. I KNOW I CALLED YOU GAY AND YOU WERE DEFINITELY FUCKING THAT OTHER GUY BUT DONT YOU DARE GET TURNED ON BY THAT FFS- 😭😭😭😭😭

I- i can't. I can't.

I calmed down i can keep going

Chapter 104

Baki estamos en un momento muy sensible por favor vestite

Ysfysyes ahhh he's right... <3

Oh hey Yokozuna guy

You, king, bro, man.

Sukune your cute ass face is the only thing keeping me sane from this hell called Yujiro came back

Hohooo a roll!

Ouch.

UgduhDsgat YOU RLLY R KING ://

"Hanma Barbera"

Chapter 105

Ah good ol chapter 105...

HHH RIP..

Heigidhth belly,,,

Tokugawa bro there. There was no need letting Baki know this

I need y'all to know this became an inside joke between me and my boyfriend, to say "as a manner of speech, right? <:]"

I cannot blame Baki for this reaction honestly 😭

You could just ask him /j

YEAH FFS ITS... KIND OF AN ODD THING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT

As a figure of speech, right?

Jack, welcome. Weird time to return, but you can make this better for all of us I'm sure.

People are saying Yujiro doesn't see the strongest around as women but like, who ARE the strongest around? He's Yujiro, anyone but him and his son are weak to him, with the exception or Musashi and maybe Pickle. His idea of male is super fucked up

Someone called Jack a "kinda weird dude" which is fuckin funny to me

This chapter was a funny fuck you to the guys that thought Yujiro didn't mean it literally too

Chapter 106

God Jack never felt so happy to see you just existing

YOOOO THAT'S SO COOL

WAIT DID HE STRETCH HIS BONES AGAIN OR DID TOKUGAWA JUST FORGET?

Ay Jack como te amo

Idk he looks kind of the same to me 🤔

ASURSYETESEYA ahh motobe <3

Don't kinkshame Tokugawa /j

That's neat!! He stopped biting as much in the past

King.

Chapter 107

Aw he's such a nice guy 🥺

He's such a king making an art for everyone to use equally

Beautiful

YOOO that mf looks like the dog Hana dealt with

Well turns out i just ran out of space lmao, a whole post for a single chapter? Guess i can do that...

Fifth book! Sumo Saga! Who wants to see me be as gay as i can be? I know close to nothing about this saga (aside from... Yujiro.) so this will be a fun journey!

Chapter 1

...🥴

Damn! Impressive shit, love animal abuse

This Izumo guy kinda cute

I'm thriving so far no lie

Chapter 2

I'M SORRY IT'S OK TO WHAT? 😳

Mmm patas

OH NOOO

Chapter 3

Lmao king

OH C'MON BAKI WHY?

Okay good motive lmao

I love Tokugawa's face lmao

HELLO SIR

"Sikorsky would fucking destroy this"

Love how straight these people's priorities are 😌

Chapter 4

"fairly heavy" NO SHIT KING AKSGSSJSGSHJS

OH MY GOD THAT WASN'T INTENTIONAL OWBFGAJS 😭

Oh NVM it was i thought he was knocked out cold

Chapter 5

This guy is so kind bro

SHADOW SUMO

My god this sumo just turned the crowd gay by doing shadow sumo

Chapter 6

HEHEHE MY MANNN

NOT ONLY MY MAN (who btw looks a lot like he used to, bit of a thicker jaw but that's ok) BUT ALSO OUR BOY KATOU

BRUTAL

OH DAMN THOUGHT HE HAD REALLY STEPPED ON HIM FOR A SEC,,,

I swear to god his tits get fatter every time he shows up, i would pay to hold those jugs

I love Katou yes but where's my fav manco?

ITDYEATAWTWAYRWETS HE'S RIGHT OMFG 😭😭😭

"I'm a sicko too" KWFSKAFAKFWJSGSHSHKSV 💀

God i love this man so much

Chapter 7

This artstyle makes Katou look so damn cute

Okay he has a really good point

Yes Katou sumo strong even i know that

Sir i almost choke on my drink 😳

LOOK AT KATOU'S LITTLE BASTARD FACE, LOOKING LIKE HIS OG SELF AGAIN JHSHSHWY

LMAO HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW DOPPO HAS NO PHYSICAL BALLS WHEN FIGHTING 🤣

HE'S FUCKING DEAD

Chapter 8

URSYEATEASYE HE'S JUST OUT

Baki just pulls any excuse he can't to avoid fighting the old man, like, fair but :/

Katou: "what did you hit me with?" Doppo: 🤗

Those chonky legs are gonna make me act uppp

That's super interesting, I'm enjoying this saga for the knowledge I'm getting alone

Please don't kill him Baki

Doppo please-

HOHO HE GOT HIM YOOO

I like how he was like "yeah tried to ignore that world :/" but then knows everything about it like okay Doppo KTSHEAEJAF

Oh yeah, Baki's dead

There's an actual sumo fan in the comments and i respect him sm

You know, the only Hanma Doppo hasn't hit yet (out of the 4 we know) is Jack, which like it's fair but it's funny (i say hit and not fight bc he only properly fought Yuji-chan)

Chapter 9

Yujiro is at it again i guess :/

Oh no for once it wasn't Yuji's fault!

Boy i don't think your ankle can do that <:/

I love this random bodyguard

Look at his kind face, i like this guy

Awww <:3c

Can't wait for him to fight Yujiro 😍

I SHOULD BE SAYING MY MY MR UNCHAINED LOOK AT THOSE GLASSES 😳

"So Mr Unchained will be sacrificed to hype the sumo" i love the use of the word sacrifice in this context

Chapter 10

LMAO YESSS I LOVE THE BUTTON EYE GUY

The little <3

GIRL NOW IM HUNGRY

I really can't complain about those glasses he looks hella fine

BIG BOOBA

I like how he doesn't hold his hip but his leg, power move from Itagaki

He doesn't even know how this manga works 🐍

Chapter 11

That's fucking epic

Girl i can barely stay standing on both legs imagine THAT

Lol isn't it 500 nowdays?

Well of course he used a pinky! I remember the explanation :)

Lasha couldn't stand this so apparently his new record is 484

Chapter 12

Hehe Hana, come here boy we gotta see Sukune try something out

"Fairly normal uses"

This body guard looks a little too much like Katou for my liking

King shit

HEHE HI OLIVA!!!!!

Chapter 13

He doesn't even know Oliva 😹

Boob

Fuck i forgot Sukune was up to 2 m tall damn 😳

"irredeemable slim" obsessed

Plop

Girl this sumo is awakening something in me fuck

Chapter 14

YEAH TRUE I FELT IT TOO

I'm living babey

Has Oliva ever pulled out an aura like that? 😳

YRATESTERYSA ASSHOLE

I love Josh Miller so much

Chapter 15

Kinky af Sukune ngl

HE'S JUST THAT GOOD OLIVA

Hell that's pretty cool

HOIIGFUYSYESYESYESAHHH

Chapter 15.5

I wanted to see Oliva but that's okay Gaia i have time for you too

HOHO COLOR!

Oh shit a normal anime woman

Girl.

GAIA I'M LITERALLY AS SHORT AS YOU AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE

"When a crewmate is standing on top of the vent"

STOP BLAMING MOTOBE FOR THIS IRSURAUAYRSE

Chapter 16

GOD OUCH OUCH

AAAAHHH THAT MUST HURT SM

ASJHHHHH NOOOOOOOO

HE'S FUCKING DEAD

I pity you Oliva sm

Chapter 18

He mad cute don't @ me

I'm, sorry is this...

Okay yeah he IS the fella from the maximum tournament wow 😳

Chapter 19

Fellas like 👁️👁️

I love Sukune and his calm face a lot

Cops are here already lmao

Chapter 20

Cops in this franchise have the worst job ever

YEAH FR LMAO

Mmm patas peludas

UFSYESEYTWA YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW BRO 👁️👁️

Chapter 21

Y'know Sukune is cute and all but i think he's a bit too brutal for my liking

Okay nvm that was good of him

Those kois eat more than me

Y'all have NO IDEA how bad i want to be picked up by Sukune

He's such a boyboss

HOHOHO KING 👀

Don't worry i would peg him (KAHWKSGSKSSH SORRYYYY)

Chapter 22

Actually feel bad for the guy

Everything this old man does is smoke and feed his koi fish and honestly, respect

I would just faint bro

Chapter 23

Mf is insanely op for doing that

King

Chapter 24

Anatomy is so fucked in this book but idc round

Retsu spent a long ass time training doing literally the same idk what you are so surprised about goroukou

I have no idea what he's saying but that's sick

He's just doing what Baki bro

Chapter 25

Tokugawa i don't think a man who healed from a lung cancer just a year ago should do this

Amazing

They should make Musashi fight him (/j Musashi would most likely die bc he would curious over how strong Sukune is, but by then it would be kinda late-)

Was this guy always this way?

Chapter 26

IGARIIII I MISS YOUUU, even if you ended this sumo's whole career

Also must say Igari looks kinda odd this artstyle, big eyes take the focus away from his canoe shaped face that- *gets shot*

I like how thin his ankles are, especially compared to the wrists

Look how calm and confident he is lmao

HEEELLO BABY!

Bitches in the comments acting like they don't know Baki, the assholes lmao

Chapter 27

HE SO TINY

I have no idea what lending chest means that's why I'm so quiet

Is that allowed?

Chapter 28

ITSYEAEAFSTRWYDF LEAVE MY ANDROGYNOUS BOY ALONE

"with no place for fantasy" bro this is Baki did you read the sign before coming in?

Sukune like 😦

Tokugawa doing the DreamWorks face i see

Chapter 29

Hehe smart man

Must hurt horrors to be standing on that sand no lie

I have no clue what Baki did

Chapter 30

Haha fool doesn't even know he can fix him brain by hitting it very hard! ...i miss you Retsu 🥺

I love how confused he is

I mean i guess that's true yeah

Mf loves that trick doesn't he?

IGDYAETAWTAWD TOKUGAWA'S REACTION 😭

Chapter 31

GIRL I DON'T THINK THEY WERE AWARE OF THEIR EXISTENCE BACK THEN

SGAFSHSGDFA This entire match is Sukune being like 😦

Hey look at the fellas! I like how they give introductions to em as if we hadn't been seeing these guys since book 1

Chapter 32

Would say that's a Pog but not quite

THERE! GLAD THEY MENTIONED IT!

Hana's now blind eye looks cool ngl

Mohfyestwatws "he's thicc 🥵"

HOOO NICE FLIP!!!

There's something funny about those 4 just hanging out up there without Sukune knowing

"He's like a kid in a candy shop"

Chapter 33

Idk why that made me laugh

I have seen this panel before, i still think it's pretty cute 👉👈

"in vogue" he's so pretentious 🙄/hj

DOPPO YOU WERE THERE YOU SAY THAT FUCKING SUMO, YOU ARE A SMART GUY C'MON!

Oh okay seeing he's talking with Hana i can imagine this is previous to what we just saw

URATEATESEGSA i love grandpa

Tokugawa like 😨

Dirty move old man ngl

The little <3 obsessed

Chapter 34

I don't think Hana is that light bro

Hehe last time all the mains were at the arena it was when the prisoners..... Nice to see it's a better context now <3 (INSIDE the arena i mean btw)

Why do they sit so close to that table?

Smoke is so cool in this manga

Shit this is cool to know, usually maps in my country look the same but the other way around, both Americas on the left

Kinda sad how Oliva didn't get to use his headbutt

He doesn't even know 🐍

Chapter 35

Lol today i re-read done bits of the maximum tournament and yeah this guy looks the same <3

I'm.... Gonna shit my pants are we having another tournament after so long?!

I love how even Sukune is surprised

HEY LET GRANDPA GO

I love how he could have grabbed him from the shoulder but no the neck of the clothes like dude(?

HOHOHO NICE

H- he's nakey. Give him back his clothes please.

UFSYETAWTAWES FR DUDE 😳 PLSSS OYFISRURSEYAYESEYA

I'M BLUSHING HE'S NAKEYYY

Chapter 36

I... The direction where this is going is rather SUS

AN ARM? A SINGLE FUCKING ARM?!

IT ISN'T?

KATSUMI NGL THAT'S KINDA WEIRD OF YOU

THESE MEN ARE FUCKING INSANE BRO OMFG 😭

Oh is this formerr sumo fighting too? Lil cringe, full offense

I won't remember any of them :)

Chapter 37

Oh my god that guy is so tiny what

They all seem pretty nice ngl <:3c

He's kinda cute

Those are some tight shorts

Chapter 38

He's dead

Balls status: bad

Hhhh with all the nails and shit, big f <:/

IGXJREZYEYZ BROOO THAT'S LESS THAN BAKI OMG 🥺

Chapter 39

FUCK LOOK AT THAT SUNDAE IM SO HUNGRY NOW

This guy hasn't seen Doppo fight and it shows

"the size of a girl" bro. Bro there are shorter ppl around. 165 is tall for a girl too. Tokugawa you yourself are shorter than that. What the hell.

97 KG?!

[chroniclesofamiddlechild]

THE FLIGHT FROM HELL

This blog post is to communicate my current travel status to NYC! Woo first of all, I was sooo PUMPED to go to NYC. Because ya know NYC IS SICK! And who doesn’t like New York?? Pls advise.

Anyways so I got to the airport early to see if I could hop on an earlier flight. (No dice). There were HOARDS of people EVERYWHERE. lining up just to check in took a good chunk of time. But bless up to the guy that checked me in. DID NOT QUESTION MY LAST NAME! Okay next thing was customs. Where I had to take of my shoes, empty my electronics, put my liquids in a separate bag… etc. one of my bins didn’t make it through AND THEN I HAD TO WAIT FOR THEM TO GO THROUGH IT. WELP!!! But once I got to the bin and then the guard noticed that her scanner wasn’t working. -.- -.- -.- so I had to wait for another guard to go through my bin of stuff. They were just really confused by my liquids. I would too… the stuff on the labels isn’t even on English… so WHATEVER I’ll let that pass. The next stop was CUSTOMS. so I went to the machine and tried to go through automatically. BUT… knowing MY LUCK I GOT STOPPED. GOT REJECTED. lol. The print out on my customs report was CROSSED OUT and then I asked the lady IS THIS NORMAL?!! AND SHES ALL LIKE “ya you just gotta talk to the customs officer”. Like da fuq… okey then… so I wait and wait. Wait and wait in line to talk to the customs officer. Wait and wait… and THEEEENNN finally I got to the customs officer and he’s like “U is your last name?” And I’m all like “Yeah”. And he’s all like “that’s weird”. WHAAATT??? Is my last name REALLY WEIRD?? PLZZZZZ it’s 2017. People have WEIRD NAMES LIKE APPLE AND U IS NOT SOCIALLY ACCEPTABLE????!?!?! But then whatever. He then disclosed that the reason I didn’t get through was because of my last name. And then it got cleared AND FINALLY I MADE IT. BY THEN IT WAS 1:15. So I wasn’t able to get on an earlier flight which is fine COS THEN I CAN JUST WATCH NETFLIX. woo woo!!! So I just did that. And then I went to take a piss and then I come back sit down and THEN AT 3 my flight got cancelled. My flight for 3:45 was cancelled. LEGIT WELP!?! my first time that my flight got cancelled. So I listened very CAREFULLY and I listened to them and they said if you didn’t check in any bags YOU CAN TRY TO GET STAND BY!! AKA ME!! So I went to line up. About 15 people were in front of me fighting to get a stand by ticket. -.- so in my head I’m like DAMMIT THESE PPL AHEAD OF ME ARE PROBS GONNA GET MY SPOT!!! NOooOOoO I cannot let this to happen!! So I checked my email and I got an email from AIR CANADA saying that my flight got REBOOKED but I can try and change it. So I WAS TRYING TO CHANGE IT FRANTICALLY!!! I was trying to get on a 5:15 to LGA and I got to that page BUT ONCE I PRESSED CONFIRM, I KEPT ON GETTING KICKED OUT. WELP?? So then I realized that I could change the AIRPORT and I’m like WOO I CAN FLY TO NEWARK OR JFK? AND THERE WAS ANOTHER OPTION HPN??? So I tried to book a flight to Newark/ JFK. THE ONLY FLIGHTS AVAILABLE WERE CONNECTING ONES TO YOL/YUL? Looks like Yukon but it’s actually Montreal LOL. But WHY WOULD I TAKE A CONNECTING FLIGHT AND HAVE THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING STRANDED IN A FOREIGN CITY???? I love NYC but I don’t love NYC that much. Anyways I FINALLY CHECKED AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO REBOOK MYSELF ON A FLIGHT TO NEWARK!! WOO WOO so after I got the email confirmation I WAS LIKE SCREW THIS LINE!!!

Lemme describe the people in the line. Like WE WERE ALL IN THE SAME SITUATION, but these YT middle aged women JUST WERE COMPLAINING AND LOOKING AROUND. LIKE WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME SITUATION. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. WE ALL WANNA GO TO NEW YORK WE ALL GOT PLANS??!?? Like standing here complaining WILL NOT CHANGE THE CIRCUMSTANCES. but thank god they were complaining and not rebooking themselves on OTHER FLIGHTS cos they would potentially take my spot. So thank you YT women for just standing and complaining. Thank you!!

So back to the story. After I got my email confirmation I TOTALLY DIPPED THE LINE AND WENT TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. customer service line was LONG AF too. LOL but after 15 mins of waiting, they said that I could move to another part cos I wasn’t on a flight to Boston. There was something wrong with the tickets to Boston so everyone was waiting for their reprinted tickets for that flight. SO 2 seconds after moving to the other line, I got to the customer service rep. And I explained to her my SITCH and she was like “oh you booked yourself on this flight? The flight is overbooked but you booked yourself. You’ll be on standby. Even though its overbooked in economy I can see that business class is empty. You may get bumped up to business class.” At this point I WAS SO HAPPEH!!! And then she proceeded to PRINT MY TICKET AND THEN TOLD ME TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE AND TO STAND BY THE BLUE MACHINE BECAUSE SOMEONE FROM SECURITY WILL COME AND SEARCH YOU AND THEN PUT RED STICKERS ALL OVER YOUR NEW TICKET. AND IM ALL LIKE WOO OKAY SICK.

So I waited by the blue machine for 8 mins and then this cool looking security woman came by. Her eye makeup looked really icy and cool. So RESPECT TO THAT!! so she’s like can you put your luggage here and your packpack here so I can search you. And take off your coat so I can do a pat down. And I’m like SURE SURE. In my head I’m just like ANYTHING TO GET ME ON BUSINESS TO NYC!!! So I take off my coat and she pats me down… LOL… I don’t like human contact but I have NO CHOICE. So embarrassing tho because I was literally getting a pat down IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IN THE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE. which was A SHIT TON OF PEOPLE. WELP!!! Oh well AND THEN She went through my luggage. WHICH IS FINE but yeah… IN FRONT OF EVERYONE in the line so now they know the CONTENTS of my luggage :(. Oh well. After I passed that test, SHE WAS LIKE HAVE A GOOD TRIP. and I thanked her. She handed me my ticket and passport and I TOTALLY RECEIVED IT WITH 2 hands… LIKE A COURTEOUS ASIAN!! and then I took a piss and walked to my new gate. I am currently waiting for the flight and HOPEFULLY I CAN MAKE IT. HOPEFULLY!!! will update once I can!

EVERYONE PRAY FOR ME!

**update** I MADE IT ON THE PLANE. BUT NOT BUSINESS CLASS. BUT IT DIDNT EVEN MATTER COS IT WAS SUCH A SMALL PLANE. i sat beside some guy that was GULFING DOWN WAHLBURGERS so it stank for a bit. i DIDN’T SLEEP THE RIDE cos i WAS JUST TOO PUMPED!!! TOO PUMPED!!! to go the city~ but YAH! THAT IS ALL!
