#if you send a message trying to justify it i'm ignoring you

Art x reader part 2

Note: This hasn't been proof read, so my bad if it's not the greatest I smashed this out in like 4 hours. So not the highest quality chapter. I might fix this up at one point, heavy maybe.

You felt ill after the shift, it could be explained, it absolutely could be, right? Just a coincidence, a man dressing up to be a dick, then point at the plastic ring on your hand because he thought it was amusing, and joked that it was him who gave it. Yeah, just a joke, coincidence. You settled on it being a coincidence. 

As soon as you got home, you took the ring of and but it on your bedside table, you didn't want to wear it, you were meant to Halloween night, but it completely slipped your mind. 

However, that night, you heard on the news he somehow escaped the morgue today, in the morning. The news reporters stated the injuries, and allegedly a few people who work in the medical field said how unlikely it would've been for him to survive. They then stated that the poor mortician was brutally murdered too from him, because of course he had to do it. Does that mean it is possible he came to your work today? If that was him, why? He didn't have any blood, or any visible injuries at least. He moved perfectly fine. 

You shook your head, there was no point in thinking about it. If you saw him again, then it absolutely wasn't a coincidence, as there would be no way to justify it. You then turned the TV off, then went to bed. The thoughts of him stuck in your mind as you laid there, the whole day repeating over in your head. How his attention was stuck on you, why that specific Cafe, and although again, the ring may just be him being a dick and not knowing. It still bothered you, all of that happening within the span of an hour. Eventually you fell asleep, your dreams, of course, had him there too. 

The next morning you awoke in a cold sweat, your heart racing rapidly. Once you glanced around and noticed you were in your room, you felt relief.

Just a dream

Maybe you needed to ignore the news, take a break from social media for a few days or even a week. You had no doubt some people would be talking about stuff, but you just had to hope you wouldn't overhear anything. Maybe it'd be good to take a day off, though you knew your boss would be pissed and so as your co-workers. You've barely taken days off the whole year, maybe 3 at most. 

You decided to send a message to your boss, explaining that you have some family stuff going on, and if you could take the day off tomorrow. 

Hopefully he'd be fine with it.

You started getting ready, after showering

--------

You walked into the door of the Café, the ringing bell irritated your ears. You walked into the back, you had to do a bunch of dishes from last night since one of the other workers had to leave early. Your co-worker spotted then greeted you, "Hey, you look like shit."

You rolled your eyes, "Wow, what a nice way to say good morning Charlie." 

They gave you a cocky smile, "I know I know, I'm wonderful aren't I?"

That damn smile was contagious, "Aww, and I've got you smiling too."

A small chuckle left you, "Yeah yeah, anyway, how longs your shift today? Anyone else in?"

"Uhh, till about 4. I have another job on the side to earn extra. And no, Laurie left about 10 minute ago, she had to leave early as she had an appointment."

"Ew, that's gotta be painful, and god damn it, it would've been nice having a third for today.

"It's painful, but moneys money, world can't go on without it." They sighed, "And I'm trying to save for a new car, the shitbox out there ain't gonna last much longer." They said, taking the eggs out the frypan. "Anyway, can we talk more during our break? Can't have customers complaining."

"Yeah sure, that'd be great actually." They then walked out with the plate of food. 

Your morning was a lot easier to deal with after that interaction, although you hated to admit it, they were annoying at times but you loved them. They were a great friend, and made working a lot easier to tolerate.

You filled the sink and placed the dishes in there, cleaning the least dirty to the most. More and more dishes came, but you tried your best to stay ahead. The dishwasher was going to take forever and only could do a small amount at a time, so this is unfortunately a job that had to be done.

After about an hour, you were close to being finished, and so was the dishwasher. After, you put the dishes away, then went up to your Charlie to check if they needed help with anything.

"To be honest, not really, business is slower than normal, which is a fucking relief." They whispered, so none of the customers could hear. 

"Nice, is Chloe gonna be here soon? It would be nice if she could cover the register, and we can chill in the back."

They shrugged, "Not sure, she's meant to be here at some point today but that's all I know."

You groaned, "Alright, since business is slow should I just sweep and mop now?" 

You heard that cursed bell ring, and you heard a honk. You instantly turned around, wondering what that noise was. 

"What the fuck..." Charlie muttered under their breath.

Your eyes widened, bile rose up in your throat. You stood still for a few moments as you locked eyes with that fucker, then you sprinted towards the staff toilet. You leaned over, the breakfast you ate not longer ago instantly came up. Your throat burned as acid tore at your throat. You clenched the toilet bowl as it kept going. You body shook rapidly from fear and shock.

What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck

Why is he here, it was meant to be a fucking coincidence. Do I have a murderer stalking me?

You weren't sure what to do, but after about a minute you heard your Charlie running over.

"Hey, hey!" They said crouching down, rubbing your back. "What the hell was that? Are you okay?"

You nodded, "Yeah...." You croakily mumbled, your legs wobbling as you slowly stood up.

"Stay there if you need to, I can handle the front for a bit." 

You shook your head, "I'll be fine, it's fine. Just give me a minute and I'll clean up."

"Look Chloe should be here soon, when she gets here I'll explain you were sick so you had to leave. Got it?"

You rolled your eyes, "I'll be okay, I just got nauseous.-"

"No, you're heading home when she gets here."

You wanted to argue, but you knew it was probably a good idea. You didn't want to see... it again. 

"Fine, can I help just till she gets here?"

"Yeah sure, just don't overwork yourself and let me know if you feel ill again."

You nodded, moving towards the sink to splash water on your face. "Alright, I'm gonna head back, don't rush yourself I can handle it." They patted your back again, then walked off.

You looked down at your shirt, and thankfully there was no vomit. So, you went back to helping Charlie. As soon as you were in the doorway you spotted him, sitting down. "Hey, is it okay if you could pass this to the customer in the clown suit real quick? I just need to prepare another order."

You nodded, trying to not show your fear to them. "Yeah, of course!"

While you walked over, you noticed his eyes were on you. You looked at the floor, knowing it was rude but you were so afraid. You put the pancakes down in front of the clown. "Here's your order... sir." You mumbled, giving a forced smile. As you starting walking away, he beeped the horn. 

"Did you need something?" 

He nodded, gesturing you to come closer.

He looked at your hand, a frown forming on his face. But not a second later is was replaced with that eerie smile. He stared at you as he purposely knocked the plate down onto the floor. It shattered onto the ground. He covered his mouth, giving an exaggerated 'Oops' face. A few customers looked over giving a confused and concerned expression.

Your face turned into a thin line, what the fuck "I'm sorry sir, I'll be back." You quickly muttered, walking to Charlie, "Hey, look I can't do this right now, can you please talk to the clown? I'll do whatever you were doing before. I'm just really uncomfortable around him."

They nodded, noticing you were shaken up. "Yeah that's fine, but what's going on? You look horrified, did something happen?"

You shook your head, "It's nothing, just can you help him?"

"Okay, I'll do that now, you just need to make a strawberry milkshake for table 5 while I deal with the clown."

"Easy." You immediately started to work on it, you scooped the ice-cream, poured the milk and strawberry-flavoured syrup and then blended it. You occasionally heard words from your Charlie while they were trying to communicate with the clown. But of course it went nowhere. As you were pouring the milkshake into a plastic cup, they came up to you. "I have no idea what he wants, he's not responding at all to me. I clean up the mess, but I don't know what else to do. Was he at least responding to you?"

"Yeah, I guess, but I really, really don't want to talk to him. He's... scaring me." You glanced at the floor, feeling embarrassed. 

"It's okay, I'll figure something out. Other customers are starting to feel uncomfortable as well. Fuck, Chloe needs to get here soon."

"Yeah, hopefully, should I contact the boss?" 

They nodded, "Can you contact Chloe first? We need her here soon."

"I'll do that now, I'll try and make it quick." You hurried out to the back again, pulling out your phone. You dialled her number, but it immediately when to voice mail. "What the fuck..." You murmured, trying again. And again. You groaned, then decided to send her a quick message.

Y/n: Hey, are you still coming into work today? 

You hoped she'd read it soon, then you dialled your bosses number. Thankfully, you heard her voice on the other end. 

"Hello?"

"Hey, I heard from Charlie that Chloe would be coming in today at some point. What time would she be here? She isn't picking up any of my calls. "

You heard a sigh on the other end, "Give me a moment."

After 15 seconds of rustling sounds, she answered. "Alright, it says she'd be on around 2pm till 8pm. Is she not there?"

"No, she's not. It's 2:30."

You heard another sigh from your boss, "I'll try and contact her, that's all I can do. Is that all you needed?"

"No, I was wondering what to do about a customer. One of them is making me and Charlie uncomfortable. He keeps.... just doing stuff."

"If you want advice I need more details." 

You took a deep breath in, "For one he's in a clown outfit, which in itself isn't bad but it's just how he's acting doing it too. If that makes sense, and he purposely broke one of our plates, and acted like it was all funny. He then wouldn't talk to Charlie, only me. It's just such bizarre behaviour."

"Normally threatening them with the police will cause them to stop, but if he continues call the non-emergency line for the police. That's it."

"Alright, thank you."

"Bye." She said, the line ending.

You walked back to the register to talk to your Charlie. "Chloe was meant to be here at 2. What the fuck do we do? She isn't picking up my calls, she's not answering my messages and the boss just told us to threaten the clown with the police but fuck that I'm not comfortable with it I don't know him and he's scaring-"

"Calm down, you're gonna be okay. This isn't a big deal you'll be fine we can figure this out. I'll talk to him."

You glanced over your shoulder to look at the clown. He was sitting there, his chin resting on his hands, giving you a wink. 

"God fucking damn it." Your muttered under your breath, he waved at you, then gesturing for him to come over again. "He wants me to go over again, what do I do? What the fuck do I do?"

Charlie bit their bottom lip, "I can go over if you like and try again, but I doubt he'll listen."

"Fuck, fine, I'll fucking doing it." You whisper-yelled, immediately going over towards the clown. You noticed most of the customers had left. How had no one called the police yet? Maybe they thought it was someone trying to be funny? 

"Hello sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

The clown told you to stop, raising his pointer-finger. He then went through the garbage bag next to him. You heard the sounds of metal hitting metal, making you feeling almost as sick as before. He pulled out an envelope. You stared at it for a moment, noticing brown splotches over it. It looked like dried blood. You also noticed how there was a bump inside. You were about to place it down, but he gestured for you to open it.

You stared with widened eyes, really not wanting to. "I'm sorry sir... I-"

The clown gestured one more time, a deep frown on his face. You were afraid, so begrudgingly, you open it. And inside was a chunk of blonde hair, with a small amount of dyed-blue strands. You pulled it out and saw a piece of someone's scalp was attached. The blonde hair looked identical to Chloe's. You placed it back down onto the table, stepping back. 

"Why.... what did she do to you?"

You knew what he did. It was obvious. But all you wanted to know is why. Yeah she could be bitchy at times, but she never had bad intentions. Not anything worthy of her fucking dying.

The Clown silently giggled, slapping his knee like it was the funniest joke in the world. He pointed at you, mimicking a horrified look and then continued laughing. 

"Oh fuck this." You muttered, Charlie looked over and saw the terrified look on your face. "Charlie we need to get the fuck out now!" You yelled, grabbing their arm, dragging them into the kitchen. To get out through the front, you would've had to walk past him again, and that was not something that you wanted. 

You shoved them inside and slammed the door shut, locking it. "Grab a knife Charlie." They didn't ask questions, just grabbing it off the bench. The clown was walking over towards the counter, where you'd pass food through to the person at the register. He stood there smiling. 

"Nope, don't look just fucking get out." You urgently said to Charlie, grabbing their arm and leading them to the back door. You unlocked it ran out with them. You rummaged through your pockets and grabbed your keys, your hands shaking as you tried to open the car door. 

"Y/n your tires have been fucking slashed!" 

"Oh for fuck sake!" You yelled, this time they dragged you. You dropped your keys while they pulled you, "My keys!"

"It doesn't matter Y/n! There's a fucking psycho chasing us." 

You followed them, running to the nearest store. You looked behind, noticing the clown was behind, with that fucking garbage bag thrown on it's shoulder. 

As Charlie ran into the store, they yelled to call the police. They didn't care about scaring the workers, they just needed to make sure the both of you were safe. The woman at the register looked confused. They ran into the bathroom, locking the door behind the both of you. They fumbled with their phone, dialling the emergency number. 

"What's your emergency?"

"There's a fucking psycho chasing after us! He's trying to fucking kill us!" They yelled, sounding hysterical. 

"Okay, calm down. Are you safe right now?"

"I think so, we've locked ourselves in a random stores bathroom. We don't know where he is right now."

"Okay, what did he look like?"

"He-he was wearing a black and white clown outfit, like the one from the news!"

"Alright...." The operator said, sounding like they thought it was a prank call, but they still continued.

"What store are you in right now?" 

Charlie turned to you, "Do you know where we ran to?"

You shook your head, "I-I wasn't paying attention, I'm sorry!"

"It's fine." Charlie murmured, "We don't know, but can you guys track the phone?"

The woman sighed, "Yes we can, but if this is a prank call you will be in serious trouble."

"We aren't fucking lying, my fucking car tires were slashed and this fucker gave me an envelope with co-workers scalp in it! Get the damn police here right now or we could get brutally murdered!" You screamed at the operator.

"Please calm down, the police are on their way." The operator said, "Please stay on the line, are you hearing anything outside of the bathroom?"

Charlie spoke up, "No, it's oddly quiet out there, I... I don't know where he is. I don't know if he followed us in or not. We didn't look around."

The only thing you could hear was cars driving by, it was otherwise painfully silent.

"Fuck what happened to Chloe, oh god I hope she's okay. Please Chloe be okay." You whimpered, dropping to the ground. "Fuck I'm sorry Chloe, I'm so sorry." Tears welled up in your eyes, then started streaming down your face.

Charlie knelt down, placing their phone on the tiled floor, "Hey, it's okay, Chloe might still be out there. Probably not in the best condition but still maybe out there." They gently hugged you.

You sniffled, "What if that psycho grabbed my keys, I'm not even going to be safe in my own fucking home." You sobbed, "I didn't even do anything to him!" 

"I know, some people are just messed up, but you'll be okay, I'll make sure of it. No ones going to hurt you." 

Eventually, you heard the police sirens and them shouting. After a few moments they knocked on the bathroom door. You immediately unlocked it, running out. "Did you find him?" You asked, your eyes showing the hope in this being simple, like maybe he was waiting outside or something stupid. But of course, reality didn't work that way. 

"The only people we found were the workers here, I'm sorry." One of the officers said, "Do you have any injuries?"

You and Charlie shook your head.

"Alright, we're going to need to take you in for questioning."

PSA Time:

To any people out there who decide to send hate messages to creators and use warped, regurgitated versions of my posts? You are unwelcome in this community.

I do not accept hate and intolerance, I do not accept the idea that my opinions are superior to anyone else's and I will never accept them being used to justify whatever you feel like being upset about.

When you do that, you make it abundantly clear you don't respect other people, and you especially don't respect me. That you don't actually listen to what I say, you want to use my position to try and elevate yourself and pretend your complaints have more weight than they really do.

Hatred, ignorance, and harassment will always be unwelcome here. I've been trying my hardest to build a community based around open communication and discussion of ideas. I don't vaguepost, I make my opinions very clear. And I believe you all can be so much better than this.

But if you actually try and start shit with people in my name, you will not be welcome here and I'll work to repair whatever damage you cause. It's as simple as that.

To Vonbabbitt and everyone else involved in TDP, I'm very sorry someone decided they had any sort of authority to do this. You're doing a great job and I do not and will never tolerate this sort of behavior. Anyone who claims to speak on my behalf and has nothing but hate to share is objectively wrong.

I know u said I don’t have to apologize but I would like to preface this with I’m sorry for upsetting you, I wasn’t trying to say that those with cluster b personalities are more likely to like- Hurt people, just that their “level of evil” is at a point that I can’t imagine someone just… choosing if that makes sense? I wasn’t trying to like make them little sad soft boys just that, based on my own experiences of having a mental illness that does disposition me to do bad stuff, their thought processes seemed similar to mine rather than how I’d imagine a non-mentally ill person’s thought process would work, apologies

I understand that. But I specifically told you not to apologize to me. I know it hurts to get critiques like that, especially in such a public space, but I need you guys as my audience to be brave about that stuff, okay?

It takes a lot out of me to feel like I need to console my audience any time i push back on something they say. It's kind of exhausting to do so much emotional labor.

As well, you're still not understanding my point, or if you are you're ignoring it to justify saying what you said when you really don't have to. Razor and Sardine did "just choose" to do the things they did and they did them for racist, sexist, and egotistical reasons. That's the whole point of their characters. People can choose to be harmful and just because that choice feels justified to them doesn't make it okay and it also doesn't mean that they must have a sympathetic reason for making it or they must be mentally ill.

I'm not trying to say anything about your experience with mental illness. It sucks to have a mental illness that causes you to make poor choices or hurt those around you, I know from experience. But I think you're projecting onto these characters and that was the point of my original response; to say "You are reading my characters extremely incorrectly in a way that is actually very harmful to people who actually have those disorders".

Please stop for a second. Think about what I said and actually work on your beliefs/behavior. Do not return to my inbox to perform contrition.

The behavior itself is the real problem, not whether or not I personally got upset. You don't know me. I'm a stranger on the internet. You shouldn't be trying so hard to make me like you. This goes to all of my followers - you shouldn't be so focused on getting my approval that you ignore the actual message I'm trying to send. I want people to learn and grow, I don't care if they come and apologize for having a bad take.

I am one of the seagulls that recently arrived HELLO 🫡

Im not sure if this is a real request or not (like if u don't wanna elaborate then I'd be okay with u just replying whatever u think about it ;) but if you do then a short fic works too!)

everyone knows that Sasuke is far from being forward about his "romantic nature" so I can totally see him taking advantage of 'pretending to be a couple for XYZ reasons/to hide somewhere' and he'd be pulling excuses just to be close and like "we need to be careful at all times or they'll be suspicious" knowing damn well there's not a SINGLE soul near the CLOSED room him and his "S/O" are staying

Wait, wait, wait - this is actually BRILLIANT!! 😭 Idk if I have enough brain power rn for a fic (and also every time I try to write short fics, they go waayyyy over the word limit lol!) but I'm going to share what came to my mind once I've read your message.

I totally see this as a potential "enemies-to-lovers" story.

As we all know, after the war Sasuke is contanstly travelling, eliminating any outside threats to Konoha. Now, let's imagine a threat is made to Konoha and another village (for the sake of the story, let's say Suna) at the same time. Naruto will surely send Sasuke to deal with it, while Gaara will send a Sand spy to make sure no further complications arise.

Both Sasuke and the Sand ninja are used to work alone and naturally, at first, they won't be very fond of each other. Additionally, given Sasuke's reputation and past, there would be a lot of mistrust and hostile behaviour from both of them, but especially his "s/o".

Personally I find "forced proximity" and "fake couple" to be a little bit hard to write - just because the tropes themselves are hard to be justified realistically for many characters - but in this case I think it may work great. I imagine they would try to go "undercover" investigating or something, so they pretend to be newlywed couple on their honeymoon or on a trip, celebrating their anniversary.

I genuinely believe that despite barely tolerating each other’s presence, from the very beginning Sasuke would be the one who would consider every single move and action they both make. His s/o probably wouldn’t take this whole “fake dating” that seriously, eager to just get the job done and go back home. Sasuke would be the one who would always pull their hand in his in public, hissing in their ear that they need to get their act together, or taking them around town on “dates” so nobody gets suspicious of the real reason for their visit.

It won’t take long for the dynamic to shift and I do think Sasuke would fall first. He would start finding more and more reasons for him and his s/o to have close contact, including holding hands, hugging and a few times even light pecks on the kiss.

I think it would be these little gestures that would make his s/o fall in love and they would definitely fall harder. I imagine they would be kore playful so they would use any opportunity to tease Sasuke while playing ignorant at the same time!

This is actually such a good premise for a fic (7-8 chapters long) I am actually considering creating an AO3 account just so I can write it haha x

[pr0blematic-h0unds]

If desired can ignore previous asks including this one- kinda wish could delete all of these

Again sorry I have looked through the blog a few times and read through the pinned post but forgot to re-read before sending the ask I'm kinda forgetful-

Also its late and was kinda a impulsive decision because I'm trying to interact with more people since kinda a mess- part of why putting the little end note thing as well so that way when I reblog from my side blog know who is sending these (since I don't want really anything posted on my main)

I'm kinda worried about being harassed but want to interact with more people in the pro-ship community

If do wanna respond to these maybe it should be indirectly if don't mind so that only you know who looking out for in terms of reblogs

(Also sorry for switching between referring to as just you/you all ngl typing these out in a panic of embarrassment and I have also forgotten if mentioned a preference)

(This all feels very embarrassing and I probably should not have chosen 3:00 in the morning to decide to shoot a random message impulsively- though how instantly I fucked up IS a little comical at least?)

(If could would have deleted both previous asks but can't so can only over explain myself-)

---silhouette

Hey man its okay I dont mind 😭😭😭

Im not gonna crash out on you, its fine lmao...

We use i/me/us/you/yall type prns/terms interchangeably so were okay with being called anything like that :)

Anyways- the fear of harassment is very understandable, I would be too/i am too so your completely justified for that. I'm happy to interact! I love talking to ppl so please don't be afraid to wanna keep chatting man <3

No like I remember watching Eddie buy that truck before I even touched 911 twitter and I was thinking umm Eddie what are you doing buying a truck that big like did you even think of Chris and how hard it might be for him to in it cause I as an able bodied person have trouble getting into trucks that big same with my shorter friend so imagine how hard it is for Chris and his condition yet Eddieblr /his stans completely ignored this also I hope I didn't offend you by using myself as a comparison

No offense taken. You're talking to a fellow short person so bigger vehicles would be a challenge for me as well regardless 😅 My household is a two vehicle household. One of them is a truck. You know when the truck is used for me? When the other, more accessible option is not available. Which is something we try REALLY hard to avoid because of how much work it is for myself and whoever is driving me to figure out the best way to get in. (And what works one day may not work the next when spasticity is involved.) I follow the story. I get that Eddie was going through his personal shit and used the "crapped out AC" on the old vehicle to excuse his impulse buy. I will even allow for Chris being young and small enough that picking him up wasn't a big thing. Parents of kids with disabilities do it all the time. (I'm an adult and the adults in my family still do it when necessary.) But there's a reason we didn't see Chris getting in and out of that truck anymore as he got older. There's a reason we're seeing Chris get himself in and out of cars that are lower to the ground now. As someone like Chris grows older, the goal SHOULD be to adapt to his needs when the needs are visibly changing. Eddie should have BEEN contemplating trading in the truck already, even if he took time to commit to the decision. These are the kinds of things *I* think about because Tim is telling MY STORY on screen, and the story of people *I* know. (And if I can be REALLY honest here? When I talk about the story being portrayed by ableist actors on top of the ableist writing? Ryan's reaction was exactly what I would expect. Disappointing, but not surprising. Poor Eddie having to give up his prized possession because of a job 🙄 There's obviously no other reason why doing that would have been a smart move 🙄 Very much like when Devin said she felt Shannon's letter for Chris "justified" and "vindicated" Shannon without at LEAST acknowledging the message the show was sending by having her avoid her physically disabled son for two years when phones and emails and letters (!) are acceptable forms of communication.)

I removed my characters and links to my characters on Character AI...

tl:dr - I'm trying to separate myself from AI usage altogether and got rid of my presence on c.ai.

I can still seem to find my characters on there for some reason, but I swear to you that I deleted my account so...I'm not sure what to do there.

In-depth details below the cut...

Yep, I finally did it.

I'm not making this post to earn some applause for doing something I should've done a while ago, rather I'd like to just talk about AI and what I've been feeling about it for some time.

I've been on the fence for a while because in the past Character AI has afforded myself and others a lot of comfort emotionally and mentally. While I don't really use it anymore, I'll admit I've been sort of blind to the impact, both for the environment and ethically, that AI has, even when being used for personal use.

This post here gives a little info in regard to the environmental impact.

I'm not innocent for my personal AI usage. I played the FUCK out of c.ai, I have generated a few images here and there for inspiration in regards to book writing. - SIDE NOTE - I want to make it clear, for those who are fans of my work and both written and artwork, I have never, ever, used AI to generate anything that inspired my artwork or to generate written prompts of any kind. I've never used AI "art" in my works whatsoever.

Essentially, if I needed a quick visual for, let's say a bustling kingdom with white buildings that have gold roofs, I'd generate the image so when I was writing I could gain inspiration from that and visual. I'll be honest, the images weren't good (which was to be expected), and they didn't offer much in the way of inspo so I don't use it anymore.

I always heard people talk about the environmental impact that AI has on the environment, but never really knew what that meant. Could I have looked it up? Yes, but I didn't, whether out of laziness or just not wanting to admit to my own wrongdoings, I don't know, but I didn't. That was undoubtedly ignorant of me. I was able to justify it because (and I think I said nearly exactly this in a post some time ago), "there's no possible way me rp'ing a little is doing nearly that much harm in comparison to the big corporations and their emissions." Which is probably still true...but that doesn't make it right in the slightest, and clearly us using it is making some bigger impact than I think a lot of us realized.

This doesn't even go over the harm to artists. While I could make a defense for personal use of AI and how I don't think it hurts artists inherently to gather some personal inspiration from it, I think by now we all know that generative AI has been trained on art and written works made by real people without their consent. Again, in a personal use setting (where it's literally NOT being shared to the public at all), there's not much harm there, but AI isn't just being used for personal use. People, of course being people, are posting these AI "artworks" on their socials and acting like they made it themselves and profiting, or they're gaining clout, or whatever.

Artists are missing out on real opportunities as more and more people are opting in to using AI instead of hiring them. In that same vein, people are using AI to, for instance, enter art and writing competitions, sometimes even taking one of the limited spaces that should've been given to a real person. Even when we think about personal use, you're, usually, financially supporting a method of generation that actively profits from stolen work. None of it is okay, not at all.

I'm saying all of this today because I still, to this day, get messages from people talking about my bots on c.ai and such. Some of you like to send me screenshots or tell me about some of the funny stories that happened while you rp'ed with those characters. I just felt like I should let you all know from my own mouth why that's gone, and I hope more than anything you'll read this and cease using c.ai yourselves, even if it is helping you mentally.

There are plenty of ways to deal with your problems that don't bring harm to artists and writers.

Some that help me are:

Writing. Literally write out the rps you wish you could do. Let's be real, half the time when I was doing rps with the bots, I cycled through until I could find a reply I liked. - To piggy back off of this, if you want to enhance this experience, just go find a prompt generator (NOT AI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LOL) and use a prompt to launch a story from.

Not good at writing? Practice makes perfect, and there is so much good advice on improving your writing out there. You don't need AI, and you'll NEVER improve that way.

Practicing your own art. The more you practice, the better you'll get. I know AI feels like it's a helpful tool, I get it, I've tried justifying it to myself so many times, but I promise you, it's not. AI makes so many mistakes and it's just crap. There are so many cool people out there making art references whether it's with reference photos, drawings, and how-to tutorials. Stop giving your money to generate shitty AI with bad anatomy, and spend a few extra bucks subbing to a patreon for a reference artist or buy an art book.

Find communities of people who like to RP or make one yourself! SO MANY PEOPLE like to RP. Honestly, part of why I stopped using c.ai so much was because I started RP'ing with real people. It's so much more fun I PROMISE. Social anxiety is real and valid, so I understand why this might not be viable for you, but that's why writing is a perfect option if you can't do RP. It's worth getting into though, trust me.

If anyone else has additional thoughts, I'd love to hear them, but this is my stance on it. We gotta stop using AI, for the sake of real artists, and the sake of the planet.

Much love,

Melly

Okay enough time as passed for me to properly think, time to do a long rant about oshi no ko's ending

Like wtf why was this so short?????? There are so many unadressed things left that we're just going to ignore????

Really????

I've said it before and I'll say it again but this story started going downhill the moment aqua revealed himself to be goro to ruby.

Okay so first of all, I actually do not mind that aqua died. I think it's an interesting way to end the story. My complaint comes from the fact that we didn't see the characters grieving properly.

This story did a better job at showing the characters grieving after ai than they did for aqua. What happened to "show, don't tell"?

Just showing like two or three panels of ruby crying isn't going to be enough my guy. Not to mention she literally got no dialogue besides saying bye to the reader. Everyone else besides kana too like how did miyako, mem or taiki grieve? They all just got one panel of them looking like :( and that's it.

Also ruby just becoming like ai is not exactly the best message to send to the readers. The story tries to paint lies as something bad but at the same time acts as if it's something good? Like "it's okay to lie if ruby is the one doing it", that's the message I'm getting from that chapter and the story overall. Not to mention they never bothered giving her an arc of realising that she is her own person and not sarina anymore like they did with aqua.

ruby suffered so much development and she only got worse as a character compared to where she was at the beginning.

Then there's kana. My poor girl got done so dirty by the plot. She was continuously taking L's in the plot and then finally the moment she got a chance to be with aqua and even being encouraged by the plot for a moment, it just got abruptly taken from her. I'd like to say that she got character assassinated because we never properly got the chance to see her blossom besides that stageplay and that was only in relation to her acting, not to her as a person. She's absolutely justified to react like that at aqua's funeral because that guy just took her important screentime moments with him into death. Justice for Kana honestly

Akane's overall plot was also a bit underwhelming like I do not understand what she did in the story besides spelling out clues for the reader. At first she said she'll help aqua kill hikaru, then she went back on it and said she will stop him for his safety and then suddenly at the end, she did literally nothing to stop him despite knowing what his plan was and suddenly complaining that aqua didn't let her help him kill hikaru????? Do you see how confusing that is??? She's like a flag in the wind that continuously changes directions.

Now onto hikaru. You'd think they atleast would try to explain the other culprits that were helping him out besides nino. But no, they just dropped that panel, hinting he had like 3 more helpers who each killed/got killed and just never adress it again? Who are these people??? I want to know who these other victims and helpers are. For example one of the helpers was hinted to be killed by the person they initially wanted to kill and that sounds so interesting but nope, never got adressed. Plus they could have atleast try to make hikaru seem like a good guy after that video tape for a little longer. 2 chapters is way too short.

also who's that girl that replaced kana in b-komachi? I want to know atleast a little about her too. It would have been so much cooler if it's a side character we met before in one of the earlier chapters but we didn't and it's just another one of the like 6 nameless new character that got shown in the last two chapters only to be never adressed again.

and then there's crow girl. I'm honestly very disappointed in her because I thought there was atleast a bigger reason as to why goro and sarina got reincarnated. Like "they lacked a mother figure and were nice to me" isn't a good reason to me. There are plenty of other people that could get reincarnated for that exact reason so why them specifically? I know the story said something like: goro got reincarnated so he could protect sarina, but that doesn't explain why she chose to reincarnate sarina. She wasn't the only sick patient in the hospital afterall. Plus she said so many things like "you're on the wrong path", "she's straying from her purpose" and I still don't understand what that purpose was. Is it ruby becoming ai's clone? Because that's what the story is hinting towards now.

I do not mind bad endings in a story (or rather, let's say unhappy endings) I think they have a charm of their own. But in this case there are so many things that never got adressed or properly developed that make it seem like the story got cut short before the supposed ending.

it reminds me a lot of pretty little liars where a lot of hints and plotpoints were shown by the plot only to be never adressed again. To me it just seems like the author was too focused on taking the reader by surprise just like in pll because there were so many times the story hinted at a specific ending like kana and aqua nearly starting dating and both of them got encouraged by everyone only for the story to take a sharp turn and go for the shock moment instead. It worked with ai's death but the story already went for so many "plot twists" that it started to get repetitive

tldr: to me, the story just got ended too quickly and it's obvious that:

the author got tired of it and just wanted to end it already, seemingly not caring about the message he would send with his ending

he wanted to please mengo who is apparently a fan of tragic endings like these

[old-school-butch]

It's honestly sickening how easily you justify the murder of civilians. The loss of life on 10/7 was a tragedy, but how many more lives have been lost by Israel murdering civilians? What do you stand for? If you can rightfully be enraged by the loss of life on 10/7 and condemn Hamas for it, why can you not condemn Israel for this? What does Israel stand for if they can be outraged by the loss of life of their civilians but see tens of thousands of more deaths as nothing? What do you stand for? Because it's not that the loss of human life is a tragedy if you can condemn Hamas but not Israel. Why are the lives of Palestinians so worthless to you? What do you stand for? If one group kills less than 2,000, and the other kills tens of thousands, what do you stand for?

Peace, in the very TLDR version, I stand for peace. We clearly have different views about how to achieve that, but maybe its good for you to consider that people who disagree with you are as human as you are.

Where do I begin?

As bizarre as it seems, war is a human means of communication. Policy by other means, as the saying goes, where conflicts move from ideas and words to deeds, where emphasis is added with explosions, where commitments are made with life and limb and we argue through this kinetic medium until we reach some compromise, or at least a one-sided silence.

This almost sounds reasonable, until you consider that the ideal outcome of war, from any individual point of view, is to risk as little as possible and force your opponent to sacrifice as much as possible. The inevitable discrepancies in power mean that the poor, the weak, the dependent, ill, elderly, women and children inevitably make up much of those sacrifices. Men, with broad freedoms to loot, rape and kill among 'the enemy', will tell themselves that the ordinary rules of society don't matter here and feed their darkest desires to punctuate their own moments of fear and terror.

So, while I view conflict as inevitable between people and societies, I am opposed to war. I stand for peace. I would like to see peace in the Levant.

I support:

the self-determination of the Palestinian and Israeli peoples.

the recognition and declaration of an independent Palestinian state, or perhaps 2 states since they are not contiguous.

Israel's removal of its settlements from the occupied territories of the West Bank

the end of UNWRA and all claims of 'right of return'

normalization of relations between Gaza, Egypt and Israel and the West Bank and its neighbors.

That's a baseline. In more ideal terms I want to see:

free and fair elections for all people in every nation.

a Human Rights code established in all Levant states

lifting people out of poverty by finally focusing on economic development instead of decades of dependence on foreign aid

puppies and rainbows while I'm at it

Hamas started this particular war on October 7th, their 3rd try since Israel ended their occupation of Gaza in 2005 and Hamas defeated the PLA on its bloody path to power. Hamas' actions were a series of territorial incursions and war crimes targeting civilians and taking hostages. That sent a pointed message to Israel - we will kill your people wherever we find you, we will destroy you and we have no regard for the conventions of war.

That's not a one-time communique though. Hostages are still being held and Hamas' cruelty and indifference to life has turned to its own people - there are no air raid sirens, no shelters, no civilian-only zones where Hamas fighters separate themselves from civilians, Hamas fighters wear no uniforms to identify who's a combatant so civilians are safer. Multiple countries are sending humanitarian aid and Hamas not only fails to distribute it but instead captures it and sells it to fund their war, so the poorest and most vulnerable people are left to starve. That also sends a message I think too many in the West ignore - Palestinian life has no value to Hamas.

A nationalist Arab movement emerged in the Palestine region in the 1920s, just as Zionism swelled among Jews in the same era. It was the end of the 500 year old Ottoman empire and as it collapsed, new opportunities emerged. However, older ideas also surged including the desire to rebuild the Caliphate.

This was the vast settler-colonial Empire built from the start of Islam, under the prophet/warrior king Muhammad, until it peaked here. The caliphs is like a king, the Supreme court and the Pope all rolled into one - his right to rule came directly from Allah and his Prophet, and was head of both state and church where regional or secular laws were abolished and obedience to Allah, Muhammad as his prophet, and the Caliph as his heir was absolute. Differing claims about legitimacy led to splintering into multiple factions, which were then vulnerable to the Mongol, Byzantine and eventually the Ottoman Empires that would itself claim the title of caliph to shore up its own legitimacy.

Islamists are radical Muslims who have fundamentally colonial aspirations, first in this region and ultimately across the globe. Most of the conflict in the MENA area result from factions within this broader movement - Shia versus Sunni, Persian versus Arab, the Kurds Khorason and Wahhabists are all competing dynasties and sects who vie for control.

To Islamists who are inspired by this history and wants to recreate its colonial glory before moving on to conquer the world, it's clear that you can't have a Jewish state right smack in the middle of your beautiful Empire. They are super pissed that European colonial powers ruined their own Arabian colonial plans, so they've adapted their arguments. Those forces have found it convenient to continue the 'Palestinian cause' as a stepping stone to wiping out Israel and establishing an Islamic state by framing it as a struggle of national self-determination. Thus, it can appeal to the West and the U.N. as a nationalist struggle while continuing to pursue imperialist goals. The PLO was violent and somewhat deluded, but I at least believed that Arafat actually thought he would lead an actual Palestinian state and I supported their goal to remove Israel from the occupied territories.

Hamas' goals in the conflict are shared with all Islamist factions. Yes, even when Islamists are fighting each other, they are still all trying to establish the caliphate, they only disagree on who should be in charge of it. This ideology is already at war with the West but the West is blissfully ignorant of this colonizing and intensely violent movement, because Islamist energies are currently consumed with attacking each other, competing for followers, and punishing Muslim populations who are insufficiently enthusiastic about their rise to power.

Currently, radical Islamist regimes have already seized power in enough of the middle east that conflict is limited to proxy wars and destroying Israel (unless you're in Syria where 5 different proxies are in a multi-sided conflict) and the most intense insurgent fighting is now happening across Africa in a dozen different countries.

Strangely, the West barely acknowledges, much less compiles, this new threat of Empire. This wikipedia entry looks long, but it's only documenting the wars of the IS. That's just one group. Overall, Islamists are involved in the overwhelming majority of current conflicts, coups and insurgencies, and the West - with its ideals on nationalism, religious freedom, democracy and its own more material interests, doesn't have a good handle on what to do. I don't want to see a return to Cold War approach where the U.S. would back any dictator who said he hated communists. And, since there are internal struggles, we're already backing Islamists like the Saudis even though they supported Al Quaeda, ISIS etc. (who now think the Saudis are apostates who are too friendly with the West) or the Syrian dictator. These extremist, woman-hating, slave-fueled regimes are horrifying, and the less we have to do with them, the better.

I think we have to hold to our ideals but also accept that you can't bring peace to people who don't want it, and sometimes there is no 'good guy' to back in a fight, just less worse actions that both sides can be encouraged to take.

So these are the things I read and care about, and then I read your opinions about Gaza. So many deaths, you say, while Arab Islamists kill 300,000 Africans in the Sudan without a peep of concern from you, and you ask me what do I stand for? The Muslim Rohingya in northern Myanmar tried and failed to create a separatist Islamic state, and are now being expelled en masse - their population of 1.2 million destroyed as 900,000 fled (mostly to neighboring Bangladesh) and most of those who remain are confined to refugee camps. But I'm a terrible person who supports genocide, and you're a good person who cares about genocide... but only when white people involved in some way? Islamists have perfectly targeted white guilt and ignorance to gain your inaction in global conflicts and shift it to Gaza.

Personally, I find religious zealots hazardous to my health and, philosophically, I do believe in the ideals of liberal democracy and would like them to continue. I also believe that, under the rhetoric and extremism, many people living in the Levant area also want to be free from these regimes. I believe there are Palestinians who would like self-government and, like many violent regimes, Hamas is a parasite on the people.

Anyway, I don't blame Israel for this war because what alternative does it have? Allow its people to be raided, raped, murdered and kidnapped? Even if it somehow ignored October 7th - and the families of hostages are making it difficult enough as things stand now - Israel has no incentive to return to another ceasefire situation where they wait for the next raid.

I have many, many critiques of Israel and actions I would like it to undertake, and I think undertaking this entire campaign has been a mistake, but they have a goal to remove Hamas and I think that's a good goal. I also think Israel will fail in that goal to remove Hamas from power, just as Hamas has failed to destroy Israel.

I don't think a ceasefire will help Palestinians, whether it comes sooner or later, they're in for more of the same as long as Hamas remains. But the over-arching conflict of Islamism and its goals won't change in Gaza unless the bigger picture changes.

So I'll ask you the same question - what do you stand for? Isn't this war just one step of a bold, revolutionary vision to overthrow Israel, drive out the Jews and link up with the glories of the new Caliphate? Aren't these deaths worthwhile to support that vision? There was a ceasefire in place before October 7th, what was so wrong with that situation that this war was needed? A ceasefire now would hardly return Palestinians to better conditions, so the next war will be just as justifiable as the last one. That's what Hamas stands for, what about you?

Mommy..are you ignoring me? :(

I've never received a response to any of my messages, Mommy.. I know you have plenty of other bunnies begging for you're attention but- it feels like everyone is getting a peice of it except for me. I hate to be selfish Mommy,but I just can't find it fair! At first I thought my messages were too long, but then I saw you respond to a long message written by one of my fellow bunnies. Then, I thought that maybe I had sent to many to quick, so I waited..but I'm getting tired of waiting Mommy. I know that it probably makes me a bad bunny for not being able to wait for Mommy's attention but it's just not fair! Everyone is getting attention except for me. I've done everything I could to seem important.. I've complimented you, I've asked all the questions I wanted too, I tell you about myself, i've complimented some of the other bunnies, I've even asked for a special name so that when you'd respond you'd remember me! But you never did, Mommy :( I hate to be picky or demand things from you, Mommy but I just feel so..discarded. I feel like you don't want me..

Baby, Bunny, first of all, if you wanted attention so badly, you could have written to me in DM, and secondly, most of the questions I receive are anonymous, so I can't always tell which of my bunnies is sending me messages, so don't get upset.

I get about 15-40 messages a day, so I can't answer them all, as I have my own personal life in addition to the blog.

To be honest, I don't really like the "you're not paying attention to me" drama, and it would have been better if you'd written to me personally, and I don't really want to justify myself for something I'm generally not guilty of, but your message left an unpleasant aftertaste because for some reason it makes me feel guilty.

And I want to say that it's not a question of you complimenting me or praising me endlessly, I'm not trying to be someone I'm not, I've never forced you to praise me and so on, it's your own choice.

[tonycries]

HI DADDY TONYY I GOT SOME TEA FOR YEW WIT SPECIFIC DATES TOO 👅👅

so I've been friends with this guy for about 5ish 6ish years now and we basically talked on and off. I remember at one point in January of this year (this all happened this year), we started talking, and then I confessed to him in February that I was developing feelings for him. THIS MF ISTG DIDN'T EVEN SAY SHIT. He didn't validate my feelings or turn me down. All he told me was "I'm proud of you for admitting this to me."

And me, of course, I'm not taking a silent response for an answer, so I kept asking him for an answer, and he told me "I kind of have feelings for you too." KEYWORD KIND OF!! One thing I might add, we live in the same state, but different cities not too far apart.

And from there on, we would flirt and stuff but there wasn't an actual label between us so idek what we were. Well, he started talking to me less, stopped responding quick, and at one point, he left me on delivered for a WHOLE WEEK. I even remember wanting to meet up in person with him, and I told him. He said he'll ask his grandma, and he never did. I did some digging that day, and apparently he was HAVING SHOTS ON TOP OF A ROOF WITH HIS FRIENDS.

I really don't know how I gave this bitch multiple chances, but I did 😞. But it was my turn to step it up. I started leaving him on seen, becoming dry, and responding late. And I even argued with him about 3 times after this happened about separate occasions. Then FINALLY, I ended things with him in May. I still kept him in my DMs, just in case he wanted to apologize or something.

And then my dumbass did something I will always regret. I reconnected with him. (pls don't throw tomatoes ☹️) I decided to push this all aside and reconnect with him again. But this time, I wasn't all happy and silly, I was more of a dry responder, setting boundaries. Then, he started doing the same thing to me again. Leaving me on delivered, and becoming dry. And at that point, I gave up. I literally just stopped texting and kept him in my DMs. I basically never blocked him and documented every happy moment in my life just to piss him off because he sometimes would try to talk to me. Like one time, he asked me if I was AWAKE AT 12AM ON A SCHOOL DAY and I said no at 9AM LOL.

THEN (it's almost over I'm so sorry) LAST MONTH (September) he messaged me, in a way, kind of apologizing, but also not really and more like justifying his actions, saying "his mental health was bad and that no one basically cares about him and that HE STILL LOVES ME." (LMAO "STILL LOVES ME" PLEASE) Omfg I literally recall offering him help and he DECLINED. But anyways, I just basically told him that the damage was done and after that he left me on seen. Kinda giving, "Heh.. THIS will teach her!" But yea.

Haven't blocked him only for my follower count as well as to get a good laugh in for when I'm down. (IM SO SORRY IF THIS WAS SUPER LONG I JS WANTED TO GET THIS OFF MY CHEST. LOVE YOU ALPHA DADDY TONY!! ❤️ HAVE A GOOD DAY/AFTERNOON/NIGHT <3)

- 🔮

OMG NAWRRRR 🔮 NONNIE YOU DESERVE SM BETTER 😭😭 The audacity of some men, I will never get over.

And I really do feel for his mental health struggles - I really do - but mental health struggles don't make him ignore you to have a bro's night while pretending he's at his grandma's 💀 that's diabolical.

SMH situationships are the messiest nonnie I'm sending you all the love and manifesting whatever alpha daddy Wattpad love interest (/hj) you want comes your want <33 And that this time they treat you like the queen you are mhm 😋

[solardragun]

i know i am not seeing arguments that ozma and salem should fall in love again in order for salem to be stopped / saved.

i'm sorry but no?? what kind of twisted mentality do you have where an abuse victim should forgive and love their abuser in order to make them stop harassing them? tell me you don't actually care about abuse victims without telling me.

no because he literally was trying his best to ignore her and coexist with his hosts but all she kept doing was going after him, so he finally had enough and started fighting back. y'know, the same way blake was justified to fight adam for stalking and harassing her and trying to kill her.

the FACT that blake and ozma are so similar and yet all y'all are doing is just sending this message of "noooo ozma should love salem again, it's all she wants 🥺" ok?? adam wanted "love" too?? so should that mean blake needed to love him again??? no, right? because you shouldn't have to force yourself to stay with your abuser so they leave you alone? so why is it different for ozma?

[davekat-sucks]

hi, only asking you this question because white-wiinged-dove doesn't have an option for anons to send messages. I wanted to expand on this statement here about how Hussie doesn't care about John being trans. "He's shown with his actions that he doesn't care about your stupid headcanon (nor do the rest of us), the team he passed homestuck onto doesn't care, anyone who actually read the comic instead of skipping to act 4 doesn't care. because it's stupid and your headcanon is offensive and also retarded." I agree that John being June is offensive for a number of different reasons. The reason white winnged dove gave was that a boy finding "lesbians" attractive doesn't make a him trans. It doesn't make him a lesbian. (((And to add to that, if vriska was a lesbian than Tavros would be a "trans woman" too. But actual lesbians are not attracted to male bodies and I'm tired of people pushing that on us.))) I find it offensive because John reads a sucicidally depressed which is a stupid thing to represent trans people with. It also seems to be a trend with people that if a boy, real or fictional, shows feminine traits at all he has to be a girl. A while ago I saw people justify that john is trans because he wanted to try on his nanna's skirt. I thought people were trying to de-gender clothing like dresses and skirts. Nothing is consistent with these people's logic. Everything is conflicting and comes off as sexist. To me, this all comes off as extremely homophobic. I hesitate to call it "retarded," it's either misguided or manipulative. No matter what, it's childish and abusive. In my eyes this just seems like people on social media who are trying to control the way we speak and the fanart we draw because they want to have power over us and talk down to us about how we are "bigoted" when honestly, they are the ones making things harder on lesbians and on trans people. They keep rewritting words and what they mean in order to win some imaginary game while ignoring the damage they are doing. Straight people were actually accepting gay people and now we're going right back to being seen as freaks. We all know that lesbians are women with the bodies of women who like other women exclusively. Trans women are another category, that's why we call them trans women. And frankly, it's creepy to keep pushing male bodies onto women who don't want to engage with that sort of thing.

People say they want to break out stereotypes, while also making headcanons based on said stereotypes. It's hypocritical of the fanbase when this happens. And that's what is happening for June Egbert.

[renthony]

I just wanted to say I really appreciate your posts about masking even though that probably wasn't the point/they're vent posts. And I'm sorry for the shitty people in your inbox. Fuck that. Idk why they'd think it's okay to try and justify eugenics.

I'm in the same boat and it's really fucking lonely and I'm so tired of talking to people about it and trying to justify why they should care about anyone but their own convenience. I don't care. I don't want to be told I'm privileged for being disabled and not wanting to die. I get feeling betrayed by friends who posted stuff about it or said they wouldn't unmask and then did and either didn't explain or keep trying to justify it. It's extremely isolating and I have no good advice.

Just. You're not alone. Im sending internet hugs. Even though that doesn't help. Everything sucks and I'm sorry. I know we're mutuals but don't really talk but if you ever want to yell about stuff feel free. I hope this isn't weird and feel free to ignore it if it is obviously.

Honestly, the kind words really, really do help. The worst days are the ones where I feel like it's just my family against the whole damn world.

For all that I'm irritated at people today, there are plenty more messages of solidarity that have genuinely helped take the edge off the rage. So thank you, to you and to everyone else who has been kind. <3

And like, I recognize that I'm generally in a rancid mood today, so I have less patience than usual, but hoo boy if I haven't been steaming about this stuff for. Uh. Literal years now, I guess. Hrggggh.

[yuyuonabeat]

now you are doing the "girl boss" please that's hilarious 😂

"If you need to talk about YOUR insecurities and YOUR shit (which I really don’t give a fuck about) you can always talk to me. I’ll listen to you since it’s clear no one ever does. "

Let's analyze what you said:

"If you need to talk about YOUR insecurities and YOUR shit (which I really don’t give a fuck about)"

It's a little inconsistent don't you think baby? first you tell me to talk about my insecurities (which I don't go around telling people to justify myself) then you say you don't care? mh, choose though, you can't say one thing then go back on your own.

let's move on tho

" you can always talk to me. I’ll listen to you since it’s clear no one ever does. "

weren't you the one who's depressed? you want to unlive them self? o that was an another personality, cuz it's clear that you have more than one, sometimes you're like "I'm so sensitive about criticisms 😔🥺" then now I'm making you squirt? please get help cuz you're not ok

then, I'm so fucking proud that I'm not the only one sending you these messages.

we really should talk more privately, it would be so so so soooo funny to literally destroy you with my word.

-your fave hater

Babe it’s clear you can’t just scroll and ignore.

Baby the grammar sucks ass ngl.

Also copying and pasting my words?!? Damm I love the effort.

And another thing is. Did you not get that it’s fucking satire. It’s sarcastic love. Learn to analyze and then criticize. Haha try again. You’re still not quite there yet.

And yeah you’re absolutely right I’ll give you that.

I do have different moods. I was feeling depressed yesterday and today I woke up feeling great.

Can I not be human? Pretty sure humans get mood swings.

Also learn to use pronouns right cuz “girl boss” babe I’m not even a girl. Again A for effort.

“Destroy you with my word” you mean “destroy you with my words/wording” it’s plural babes. Again learn how to properly write and then you can come and hate on me.

By the way, destroy what? Only thing you’re achieving here is making a fool of yourself by making me laugh.

Your hate (I’m not taking seriously) it’s just funny.

Guess what babe? You’re not bringing me down. And no I’m not acting tough. You’re just very hilarious.

Thanks for the show.

And yeah maybe you should talk to me privately. Text me the things you’re not willing to send cause you’re scared people will judge you.

I could care less. Only reason I keep on replying to you, well cuz it’s fun.

Maybe just move on and go hate on someone else.

Cuz you ain’t hurting no one here. The people that read my blog are also loving the spectacle you’re bringing us.

[winslete]

*Hours later*

Leopold: "Alice." *Every muscle in his body tenses* "Thanks for coming." Alice: "I was intrigued. Hell hasn't frozen over, and yet you wanted to talk."

Leopold: "You told me a lot about myself when we broke up, and I let my feelings block the message." Alice: "I know. It's nice that you took this time apart to learn how to be a functioning member of society. Good job. Leopold: *annoyed* "Do you have to do that?" Alice: "Do what, Leopold?" Leopold: "Can you let me finish my thought before you start taking the cheap digs at me?" Alice: "I gave you a compliment. I'm a huge advocate for personal growth." Leopold: "This was a mistake. Forget it." Alice: "Are you sure? The situation you're in must be dire if you're calling me for help." Leopold: *groans* "It is... you're the only person I know who can give an unbiased opinion on me as a partner." Alice: "This is about a girl? I'm a lawyer, not a miracle worker." Leopold: *swallows his pride* "Can... you... tell me... why you feel that way? Was I that bad?" Alice: "I'm not doing this in 0° weather."

*30 minutes later* Leopold: *finishes telling Alice everything* "Now, I'm trying to figure out my role in this. Chy wouldn’t have cheated without a reason.” Alice: "It's simple. You chose women who are out of your league. " Leopold: *he fights to keep his tone even* "If that was the case, then why did you choose to be in a relationship with me?" Alice: "Sex, Leopold. You were a handsome young man who took directions well. Once the fun wore off, I realized that you had no ambition. No aspirations. When you purchased that abandoned shack, I realized you were content working for your parents and staying in Briarwood for the foreseeable future. Leopold: *confused* "Wanting to settle down made you cheat?" Alice: "Absolutely! You use pity as a weapon, and instead of picking some local girl who shares the same sentiments, you go after bright, worldly women. Women, who in five years will be making six figures while you glue together Legos in your parent's car shop.

Leopold: *irritated* "You're such a liar. I never guilted you to stay with me. Hell, I would've respected you more if you broke up with me instead of having him show up at my job." Alice: "I'll admit, James was a little impulsive." Leopold: *resists the urge to yell* "I'm starting to think I give you way too much credit. Alice: "If we can go back to the matter at hand, the common denominator is you. I haven't met your new girl, but it pleases me to know that she's choosing her future over you. Outside of your looks, you have nothing to offer the modern woman.

Alice: "Next time, date a scientist. She can send you back fifty years where the world would be more to your liking." Leopold: "Where is this- Do you feel any remorse for what you did?" Alice: "Why would I? I did what was best for me." Leopold: "So, why are you painting me as the bad guy? Does it make you feel better?"

Alice: *She rolls her eyes* "Get over yourself."

Leopold: " You said you stayed for sex, but I think you cared. I think you feel guilty and are trying to justify your actions. Even going as far as to label me as something I'm not. " Alice: "You're assuming a lot." Leopold: "You're here. You could've ignored me." Alice: *she glances away* "I was in the area for work. This was convenience, nothing more." Leopold: "If you told me you wanted to leave Briarwood, I would've sold the house and had the truck packed. I was always your biggest supporter. I wanted to see you succeed." Alice: *she lets out a dry chuckle* "That's not true. You wanted to change me. Having me live here and spend all that time with your mother. You were planting the seeds, and I wasn't about to let you win that." Leopold: *he faintly smiles* "Cheyenne loves our family dinners. We were supposed to spend Winterfest with them, chopping down trees and watching sappy holiday films." *looks down* "She's nothing like you. I shouldn't have treated her like she was." Alice: "I bet you're happy about that." *sips her drink* " Found a girl with no standards." Leopold: "I've got to go." *leaves money on the table* "Thank you." Alice: "For?" Leopold: "Giving me clarity... I won't contact you again."

Alice: *smirks* "We'll see if Hell freezes over."

*Leo races outside and dials Cheyenne's number*

Leopold: "Hey. Can I see you tonight?"

((After talking to Alice, he finally rolled the want to get engaged to Cheyenne!))
