#incident three: i have not really decided (they're engaged)

[meadowziplines]

Damsel in distress/ self rescuing princess ?caught my eyes👀

dream in a human au but still defining himself by stories and story tropes! it's basically a dreamling fic 4+1 of 4 times Hob rescued him (ranging from not too serious and/or amusing, to actual serious rescue/serious injury, and then one time he became a self-rescuing princess and saved himself)

snip:

(Dream … likes fairytales. The gilded kind, because the true stories are ugly and dark and bitter, and he is afraid of them; afraid of being nightmarish and cruel and unworthy of saving. It is not something he admits to many people, how desperately he wants someone to sweep him off his feet, carry him from the tower, save him from the dragon.)

(ONE)

"I'm fine," Dream starts to say automatically, and then sees his hand, bleeding profusely. The air shimmers. He clutches at his hand. Blood oozes around his other fingers, and nausea spools in his gut as his surroundings start spinning. His ears ring a little, spots floating in his vision.  He hears Desire say, "Dream?" in a tone that might indicate concern, and then everything goes dark.  He blinks, vision swimming back, to see a holy vision sinking to his knees above him. Well. The field medic isn't Jesus, but Dream does have a massive crush on him. Desire has teased him all afternoon, for they know what Dream looks like when he has a crush. "Hello," says the holy wonder, smiling. Dream simply stares, lost in his brown eyes, and then smiles like an idiot.   "Oh, you're kidding," Desire says, somewhere to his left. "Dream, really, this guy?"  Dream blinks. "Hello," he finally answers. A sharp pain in his hand caused him to wince, and he looks at it, at the blood, and winces. His vision blurs again.

Okay, for months I have had so many fic ideas revolving around the first three holders, I've decided to put them all down here for the Three Weeks of Trioholders Event hosted by @aimportantdragoncollector, to help inspire others. Feel free to use these for the event or any future fics (or drawings), since I don't think I'll have time to write them (and I didn't want to overwhelm the ask game lol).

Cheerleader bet: The first 3 holders make a bet; losers have to wear a female cheerleader outfit. I like the idea of Yoichi winning, so he gets to see Second and Third in cheer skirts waving pompoms, but this is your fic (or art)

An AU where Yoichi works as a nurse and Second lands himself in the hospital with a gunshot wound

The 2nd and 3rd are scientific rivals forced to work together by the government to oversee the creation of an important new technology

Ichinii kindergarten AU: Second and Third love pretending to be knights and rescuing people, but Second hates having to rescue princesses because "She's not pretty enough to be a princess" until one day, Yoichi Shigaraki transfers to their school and volunteers to let them rescue him, but wants to pretend to be a princess, much to the amusement of the other boys. Oddly enough, Second has no complaints about this princess.

Deku and Bakugou's uncles both come on the same day to pick them up from preschool, bump into each other, and would you look at that Second, love at first sight is real after all. Meanwhile, Yoichi just thinks of him as a friend at first.

Deku and Todoroki are studying together, when his Uncle Yoichi walks in, with his two best friends, Second and Third, along with his cousin Hikage. Naturally, Todoroki sees the green eyes and pale hair, and immediately thinks that Hikage is Yoichi's secret lovechild. All that's left to do is figure out who's the father, Second or Third? Meanwhile, AFO catches wind that Yoichi has a secret lovechild, and assumes that the father must be All Might. (I left a lot of details out, but it's fun to see what people fill in. I submitted this as an ask, but I was super tired, so it ended up being barebones and I hated it, so I'm rewriting it here)

A modern AU where AFO has been secretly scaring off all of Yoichi's boyfriends. It's actually pretty easy as even without his quirk, he's still terrifying. Then one day, Yoichi brings a certain spiky-haired man home, and not only does he look like the rebel bad boy from every father's nightmare (very different from the previous nerdy cowards Yoichi's dated before), but none of his previous tricks can drive him off.

Genderbend! I guess this is more geared for art, but hey, who's to say our first three holders aren't unlucky enough to be hit with a genderbend quirk while out on patrol

Angel and Devil! Yoichi is an angel, the brother of the Big Guy himself (Yep, AFO gets to be God). Tired of the rules of heaven, he sneaks into hell, where he meets a pair of very interesting (read: hot) demons.

OR REVERSE: Angels, Second and Third are tired of following the overly strict rules of heaven and sneak into hell, which is ruled by Demon King All For One. There, they meet a rather attractive white-haired demon...

After a terrible incident with some hair dye, and a friend who is now on very thin ice, Second's pink hair has now been turned into a really ugly shade of orange, and he has a date in less than 48 hours (I refuse to get over his hair color)

College AU: Second and Third have been friends since they were in diapers, and are now getting physics degrees. One day, Third decides to introduce his childhood best friend to the new friend he made in art club, Yoichi Shigaraki. Then ends up having to Third-wheel as they spend the whole-time flirting

Romeo & Juliet AU. This time, it's Second & Yoichi. I mean, they're both star-crossed lovers doomed by the narrative to die, so why not?

Victorian Era! Yoichi is secretly in love with his servant(s), but is engaged to marry someone else

Second is a horror writer with writer's block. When his apartment lease is up, he decides to finally buy a house out in the countryside, thinking the nearby spooky woods will inspire him. The house tends to inspire him more, what with the random oozing, slow opening of doors, and breezes that sound like whispers. It's almost as if he's really haunted...

Yoichi is in college now and away from his strict brother. He decides to go with his roommate to a party, but his sheltered upbringing has left him woefully underprepared for the wildness of a college party and... Has he been drugged? Don't worry Yoichi, your heroes have come to save you!

Baby Izuku Midoriya is babysat by his uncles! So, while they do all sorts of fun baby things that somehow turn out to be extremely dangerous, Hisashi has a nice dinner with Inko.

Done! I hope I've managed to inspire someone.

[wishing-stones]

Nightmare mentions he was keeping an eye on Baggs with the idea of eventually recruiting him. If we weren't there how would that have gone?

Oh, if there were no human? Yeah, sure.

Nightmare would have kept his distance for a while, watching from the shadows until he figured out exactly what it is that Baggs is up to and what he's the most cagey about. He'd have prepped some immediate resources for Baggs if the lure of "I can knock you out, no, really" wasn't bright enough. He'd have treated it less as an "I need your services right away, no you don't really have a say in it but I can sweeten the pot" and more as an "I know what you're up to, I can provide you with resources you really don't have access to and sleep."

Baggs would have been skeptical at first, but after receiving proof (more of resources, less of sleep-- he's used to not sleeping, and while it's a nice sentiment, it isn't necessary) he'd be down.

Introductions would have largely gone the same-- Dust would have tried him, and Baggs would have firmly established that he's not to be fucked with. He'd have been a lot more standoffish and cold, especially after being unceremoniously attacked, but... Axe would eventually wander down and bully him into eating on a regular schedule, and they'd become friends.

He'd be on the best terms with Nightmare, due to not only the arrangement, but because they're very similar in tastes and intelect. They both like reading, they both people watch, they're both catty, snarky bitches, and they're both a little more high-brow than the rest of the boys.

He'd warm up to them eventually in the order of: Cross, Dust, Killer. Cross doesn't treat him with animosity as much as extreme amounts of caution that it takes Baggs all of five seconds to get to the root of. Dust takes a while to come around, but, like in R&R(A&E, specifically), when Baggs proves himself to be able to handle LV attacks, Dust trusts him a little more. Once everyone else is chill with him, Killer is, too, and he's seamlessly a part of the gang. (Killer plays friendly with him for a while in a disarming and non-threatening manner, but makes it very clear that his position isn't one that's challengable, and Baggs won't like what happens if he tries. He wisely does not. Killer kept him at arm's length until he was sure Baggs wasn't going to be an issue (read: gets along with everyone) and then decided he was okay people.)

There's more than likely an incident similar to what brought him in, although with less vitriol and less life-threatening injuries. He'd also patch the guys up from various missions as well, and gets very good at treating burns from Dream's arrows. Killer and Cross would eventually get their grievances aired because he gets sick of that infighting real fast, and threatens them both to come to his office and talk about it or else. Nightmare backs him up.

He does see action every now and again, but mostly goes along with Killer and Dust on missions geared toward reconnaissance and subterfuge. He gets to encounter the stars a couple of times, gets one-on-one with Dream and rips into him with what all he knows about the twins. Dream is not seen for several months; Ink and Blue show up without him.

Eventually, it leads to Dream and Nightmare talking about stuff because while Nightmare goes in all guns blazing the next time he shows, Dream... doesn't engage. He's sad and doesn't draw his bow... or anything, actually, and even though Nightmare tries three or four times to get him to rise to the bait, nothing works, and the concern eventually wins out over his bitterness. They talk things over in a similar manner (although slightly less emotional from Nightmare, no less sincere) and they come to an understanding. It's still tense because there's no uniting force bringing them together (yet) but they aren't tooth-and-nail fighting anymore.

In things in different universes than R&R, he'll likely still show up with the rest of Nightmare's gang. He just kind of... fits neatly into place there in all of my work with that group so he's kind of there by default when I do non-R&R work with the gang.

lifetimes of scars both visible and not

(au, not canon, this is all related to my unreasonably extensive timeline)

(they're married)

(she/her for flash)

i definitely made some of the text too small 😂 new tablet has given me too much power (pressure sensitivity)

closeups:

crow's feet :3c i wrote "1987 – 2005" but really it's probably more like "1990 – 2005" but birth year was easier than trying to decide exactly what year harrison started to be a piece of shit 🤷and also really his abuse did continue intermittently even after flash moved out in 2005 but not consistently since flash wasn't around him very much after that (but like, there's the incident in 2006... and some later incidents in 2013 ish) — that's what the ptsd is referring to also though by this age i think she's mostly fine... small things can still get to her of course but by 50 she's very well-adjusted and much, much happier than she was 30 years ago.

and of course... recovered/recovering alcoholic... that's kind of a lifelong thing of course

carpal tunnel is just from using a wheelchair for 30+ years

also not a wound or a scar but flash will have been on hrt for like............................ 20 years at age 50??? i think? so... boobies 😂

the three rings on her left ring finger are engagement, wedding band and an anniversary ring peter gets her for their 10th (wedding) anniversary (they'll already have been dating for like 5 years when they get married though) — she's also wearing peter's wedding band on her right ring finger on account of his arthritis causing him problems + often already not wearing it because of spidey, but you can't see her right hand in this pic and i decided not to label it since it's not exactly a scar or lasting injury

peter gets a soul patch in his late 40s because it's a law of the universe that if he's middle aged he needs to have questionable facial hair and i didn't feel like trying to draw the full goatee when i designed their older looks and i still don't (also because he looks too much like dr strange when he has the goatee AND the white streak tbh lmfao)

if peter lived into his 50s you know he'd be going fully silver w/in a couple of years already — the stress 😂 it's making him a silver fox... well. it's given him a skunk stripe at least (cause i always think it's cute when he gets a white streak when middle aged in comics)

he's got that fuzzy neck and fangs too from man-spider (even w/ the missing front teeth XD) (normally he wears partial dentures but i figured he probably doesn't sleep in them) — missing teeth, broken clavicle and one of the times he had his right scapula broken are all from the same incident which happens in 2032 and which i haven't written yet but may or may not involve a Kraven of some kind... (the first time he had the same scapula broken was by the jackal which i ALSO have not written yet... but is 2012)

busted-ass nose from when he fought doc ock around high school graduation and insisted he didn't need it looked at

ptsd is from the jackal as well, as mentioned not written yet.

also peter is 4 months younger than flash, thus 49.9 😂😂😂 it's ALMOST his birthday here okay, he's basically 50,

obviously flash has some of her own scars... maybe not quite as many as peter but losing both your legs probably counts for a few XD

and i decided to draw her a little bit fuzzy cause she's 50 here and she doesn't shave (her body) all the time anymore but... you can barely see it anyway since the hairs are red XD

trying to decide flash's level of muscle as a 50 year old woman is also difficult and i am still not sure how much tummy to give her... i probably could have given her more, though i guess she and peter still have a lot of sex....... either way i know she still has those guns even with carpal tunnel in both wrists lol

similar dilemma with peter but peter has the wrinkle of needing to eat over 5000 calories a day just to not lose weight so i think he's more likely to remain very svelte on top of refusing to like, retire from spider-man... bro take a break you already have arthritis and nerve damage which i forgot to label,

(the nerve damage is from the burn scar though) (it was real bad) (i haven't written that one yet but it's in 2009. nothing complicated, he just runs into a burning building to save people while wearing a polyester costume is all—not Trauma, just Stupidity) (...i mean, medically speaking it's burn trauma, but)

compression glove for aforementioned arthritis. he has arthritis all over, like his shoulders and stuff, but his left wrist is the worst because of when fisk broke it and he set it himself at home so it never totally healed right, but is manageable until he hits his forties and it starts getting arthritic before any of the rest of his joints 🤷 actually iirc it probably starts twinging in his 30s... but by 49 it's his whole arm for sure... plus his right shoulder... probably most of his fingers... left knee not arthritis just the nerve damage... wouldn't be surprised if he gets a sore neck from all that spidey whiplash... probably tennis elbow too lbr... yeah, he really should retire lol

also you can see his weird ribcage divots from when the extra arms in man-spider fell off...

flash and peter both got the knuckle scars—peter normally wouldn't but in 2007 he is currently spending a lot of time busting his knuckles open (peter: um some people mangle their hands punching steel and concrete to cope,) so they don't get a chance to heal fully and he ends up with scars from it.

sexual assault survivor referring to both skip in 2000 (which is finally being mentioned more concretely but i have made allusions to before) as well as the jackal in 2012 (which i have not written yet but have a lot of notes for) (well, i have a lot of notes for all of this, really,) - those are also both the major sources of his PTSD, particularly the jackal, though he's got other traumas too like his abandonment issues (parents' death) and his uncle's death... he's just been through a lot in general. unlike flash he isn't like, mostly fine, either, and therapy didn't really work out for him, so he's on... meds lol though idk maybe by 50 he doesn't need them anymore..... when he was in his 20s and 30s for sure though... he is a man prone to flashbacks and nightmares... hyperfixation... and 2012 will be a very traumatic year for him if/when i write that fic...

anyway it's fine, he's fine,

here's a foot for all the foot fetishists out there

no scars there i just really hate drawing bare feet and think it turned out sort of okay

the red things are how they die btw. peter gets taken out by [insert organization here] (i'm still working out the details, idk if natl guard or shield or what... or WHY tbh lmao i just know it happens)

flash i'm actually still not 100% sure i will do though, she might die of a broken heart/lots of stress from the very public death of her husband of 23 years (partner for almost 30)/heart problems from limited mobility (exacerbated by the carpal tunnel) or...... she might live longer, idk yet... idk if i'll even ever write that part... who knows!!!

me like angst😂 it's happy too though!!! i mean sure tragic ending eventually but also they are together for nearly 30 years despite all odds and that's not tragic at all... they love each other... 🥺🥰

they just don't live very long

though for flash 50 feels like a longer time than she'd ever expected, like, this is a woman who never thought she'd even make it to 20, you know???? so 50 is a pretty big deal. regardless of if i have her live longer than peter or not, though, i don't think she's surprised when he dies... like, upset yes, but... there have been so many times she's worried he'd never come home so it's only a shock in that it's emotionally devastating, not surprising at all. a long time coming... RIP

tfw you're outlived by your clone with a compromised lifespan

anyway i got way more rambly than i meant to on this XD

oh update in july lmao: i realized i had forgotten about a scar peter will probably acquire in 2012 in my notes and only found it skimming thru my timeline recently to edit some stuff so i sketched this real quick:

though in my mind this sketch is of peter when he's still in his mid to late 20s... but the handprint is obviously a mark of kaine print (though I think i may have made it too small XD considering peter already has big ol hands and kaine is 4 inches taller than him) think of it as something like a grab while grappling during a fight, like wrestling or whatever—though i'm ngl i'm still working out some details but i think when peter is first kidnapped by warren, he may attack kaine, for reasons having to do with his aunt, though like i said i'm still working out some stuff so there isss a chance i scrap this scar anyway... we'll see if i ever make it that far (current fic is 2007 and this would be 2012 after all but i may end up time skipping at some point like i did with, for example, curse of the man-spider)

drawing peter on a towel was the only way i could think of to get his back bare at this point too. he really buttons up for a while there.

(has a separate post on my blog: https://hoardlikegoldenirises.tumblr.com/post/722440569862881280/a-scar-i-totally-forgot-about-in-my-notes-and-by)

[the-firebird69]

We have a lot of trouble with some of the people here a lot and they're getting worse when the ones we have trouble with is Mac Daddy and he doesn't tell people but he's doing and he's been obscene all night long with us and we have been correcting him a very potent way and he doesn't like it and he won't shut his mouth and I told him to go to hell so many times he won't now he's going there for real and it sort of gets it but not well enough for him to stop doing what he's doing so we told him to stop and he wouldn't. He's been riding around town same stupid s*** about our son. At one point it starts screaming he has a gun and he would not stop he decided to stop and he pointed the finger and said I want that one and he heard you saying to stop bothering me too and the max said we don't follow your orders for a way to shut him down. So you hold them in and they told him to shut down was going to see you and he said no then he said we'll be seeing you later then and he said I can do this and they said we don't want to hear him talking to you and they said it's probably this guy you won't pull out of here. Listen this we're trying to pull them out of here and we can't get him out of there nothing can get him out of there cuz I can't get my people to get them out of here cuz they're trying to and they can't I've never seen anything like this stupid crap so they start to laugh about and they said he's doing that to me too and he meant Trump and he's got to me look on his face instead of I can't stand this anymore we have to get in the hell out of here so they heard of something about why would he be able to do that and they checked it out and bothering him right now with Dan. And it's just about to go to work. So agitated him absent mindedly that guy's doing it on purpose and that one too. Dan and Trump are doing it on purpose and bothering me to bother him now they're getting a picture. And they are attacking them here. The molar suffered some massive losses and the deserts as they tried for the rest of the factories they lost trillions of fighters and a whole bunch of trillions the number is pretty big it was a good chunk of their population and they're sending more. Is a huge night huge day today because of this incident and they're sending in massive armies. The morlok are attacking empire abuses and large numbers. It's a huge battle and the bases are coming down well about three of them are associated damage and a small bases. But that's out of 300 that size and this bases are well defended and they are being attacked however and there are 1,000 bases small of those and those would be exact if 50 are on fire but only 25 or critically damaged I have a thousand but there are more attacking but then there's probably 100 large and 20 MB and the hundred large have 20 that are disabled and on fire and the 20 megabases have 10 it has severe damage ranging from 10 to 30% and that's not bad for warlock they usually can't touch stuff like that. They're trying to attack the shield but can't get to it because of the basis that monitor it it really try to take it over and they get discovered. It's a very big war in other words there's a lot of them going at them. And there are several other things going on people remembering that he is a child and he's stunted and is really really spoiled and it's starting to get it as there's a lot of sale and stuff it doesn't want to say a lot of stuff there's a lot of things going on are you going to tell you what they are and I'm going to get to it

-the war is not going well for Mac he had a serious uptick and a terrorist attacks on his facilities and businesses too and they're trying to extort from him stuff and he lost half of salsa factories and he is also engaging his own warlock in a war and his empire basis and he's not having a good time it is simply not good for him. As you will like to plan to harass our son today and they play to stop them completely I plan to show up and bother they plan to arrest them.

-giant streams of idiot I try to get here

-is massive caravans try to head here for the north and east and they're being intercepted early all the time now I tried sending like 10 of them 10 and then not going to back dn.are GOING TO continue wiping them out.

-there's a side of War above each house of each enemy combatant and it's on a machine and it's recorded and who is living there and all over Florida there with these signs on your house half and that's because apartments I'm just tires in the houses people think that they'll be gone shortly and we do too frankly we think they'll be gone within the hour and a lot of them will be 10% from oxygen the rest is going to be dead because they're going to run out from behind and I said it all over Florida except for these two towns they said they're going to run out and bring troops back

-we've had enough is two fags for lifetime and we're going to get rid of them going to hit them they do routine is horrible. We have plow through the globally but yeah the empire is mad and they're going after the suspects who do you hear I supposed to be the rest of them as you say it's going well but they want to feel whatever again and they are macmorlock. There's one too people keep coming out of nowhere.. air groups go after them the morlock we take it seriously from here on in and they appear to be provoked into attack but they were going to attack anyways and the max were prepping I just sitting here taunting our son and they're horrible people and they all do so we're using it, everything quite expertly. Is more happening than this

-there's a giant number of people who saying stupid things trying to get in I also don't get i

-the publishers now

Hello! I’m heading out on vacation and was hoping to get some summer beach reads for my trip! Can you help me out?

I always think of beach reads as being funny and romantic and maybe a little bit of drama but nothing too angsty. Fluff but a little more engaging. Fluff with character development.

🌊Thank you in advance! 🏝

Hello! Your holds have arrived - hopefully in time for your trip! This list is a little later in the day than I usually post because I was actually at the beach myself today! I love a good beach read (to me, the best beach reads are ones you can get lost in and don’t want to put down!) and I’m hoping these hit the spot for you! Don’t forget - lots of sunscreen, lots of water! Be safe and have fun on your trip! ☀️

Beach Reads 🌊

catch a falling star by @flintandfuss (27,747 words, rated E)

A star falls. A hidden evil stirs. And beyond the wards of The Wall, three friends embark on a quest in a twice-magic land. Their mission? Retrieve the fallen star and win a date with the lovely Cho Chang.

But nothing across the Wall is what it seems. And for Harry Potter, finding the star is only the beginning.

Clouds That Veil the Midnight Moon by @drarrytrash (36,377 words, rated E)

According to Harry’s personal narrative regarding the incident, he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy for purely self-destructive reasons, or out of convenience, or by some unlucky accident. Looking at him, sprawled in the moonlight, Harry is devastated to recall that he’d hooked up with Draco Malfoy because he’s hot.

Draco is a secret werewolf and Harry is doing his best and they've got criminals to catch, darn it.

Six and a Half Years by FindMeAfterward (40,029 words, rated E)

Harry owns a restaurant, Draco has a boyfriend with a stupid name, and they're friends now. Or maybe a little more than that.

My Big Fat Weasley Wedding (65,116 words, rated M) by @slyth-princess

A decade after the war, Harry Potter is lost. There was a time when he knew exactly who he was, where he was going, and what he wanted. He is not that man anymore. Until one day he decides he is done. No more wearing clothes that don't fit, stuck in a job that was meant to be temporary, and simply coasting through his life. He has a plan. And, unsurpisingly, every single Weasley and honourary Weasley seems to have an opinion about it. But it's fine. Harry knows he is doing the right thing.

What he didn't plan for, however, was to find love in the most unexpected place. And with the most unexpected person. Still, it's going to be fine. Like he said, he has a plan. Weasley opinions be damned. He's got it all under control. Doesn't he?

Featuring a million Weasleys, a daft labrador, and a whole bunch of people just trying to figure out their lives.

Recipe for Life by @janieohio and @drarrelie (66,243 words, rated E)

Draco has the perfect life. He’s a star chef at one of Manhattan’s most highly acclaimed wizarding restaurants, he has a lovely apartment in Brooklyn facing the park, and in just a few days, his best friend and her daughter are coming up from Virginia for their yearly summer visit. Life couldn’t be better.

True, he would’ve preferred it if his dependable sous chef hadn’t been counting down for her maternity leave. He could have lived without the hassle of finding her replacement.

But life isn’t always made to order.

Pages of You by @wolfpants (102,665 words, rated E)

Summer, 1980. Harry is floating between university and becoming a Real Certified Adult. He's not ready. He really isn't.

In a desperate attempt to have the Best Last Summer ever, he takes a casual job at his godfather's bookshop in London, starts an illicit pen pal affair with a wordy posh boy that he's catching feelings for, all while dealing with the son of Sirius's business rival, one Draco Malfoy, insufferable know-it-all extraordinaire.

The Liar’s Department by @dorthyanndrarry (103,395 words, rated T)

This is a story about Harry meeting up with Draco Malfoy four years after the war. And a story about Harry, well, not hating his job per say, but it's not like he has much to compare it to and it seemed fine. His whole life seemed fine. Then Malfoy came along with and his flashy suits and fast car making everything seem dull in comparison, and Harry... Harry couldn't just leave well enough alone.

❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the author a kudos or a comment! ❤️

Lots of Love and Safe Travels! ✈️

P.S. My current beach read is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, if anyone is curious

[omegalomania]

hello 8 days ago you drew some very cool mania fan art and you said the narrative isn’t relevant but have you considered…..it is relevant to me ? (please share)

dklfldkjflkd ALL RIGHT WELL if you're asking thennnnn

oh my god this got so fucking long. im putting it under a cut because it contains a) a fuckload of text and b) some concept drawings and stuff that i threw in there cause why not.

(for anyone unaware, the ask is referring to this art i posted without much context a little while ago, though it also relates to this one.)

so basically back when mania was like, the new hotness, there was only one big like popular bandom au based around it and frankly i fucking hated it. i dont want to get too mean but i really did think it kind of sucked and it felt like a bunch of missed opportunities and it fizzled out cause the creators sucked anyway but even on a conceptual level i was just so over it. so a couple weeks ago i get heated about this in the groupchat and go "what if i just invented a different mania au, but better." and no one told me to do it but i just went for it anyway because this is what happens when you leave me alone in a room i just start Making Shit

so behold, an au that caters to no one except me, birthed from spite. literally all the file names for these are labeled "mania spite au" and so on. this came from a desire to meld themes from the album into a semi-cohesive narrative

so whats the narrative? GLAD YOU ASKED

for the central "antagonist" i decided to use the mania entertainment group concept, which is something fob toyed with in marketing the album but never really did anything with. so, fine. here's this massive entertainment-based company and they're fucking huge. they're fucking massive. think disney, basically.

employees at this fuckoff massive company include 3 ordinary dudes: patrick, a sound engineer; joe, an electrical engineer; and pete, a dude with a position in admin.

for various reasons all three of them are just kind of drifting in this state of not really wanting to be there but not having a lot of choice. patrick is neutral about the work he does but isn't really in love with it, mostly just keeps his head down and minds his own. joe hates the work, hates the ethos, hates the ideology of the company works for, but seeing as MEG is so big there's basically no alternatives so he has to grit his teeth and do it. pete basically inherited this big shot position in administration but feels fundamentally directionless and didn't actually engage in the work out of a genuine passion for it buuuut it's not like he can just walk away from a really good position especially without a fallback plan.

that's the backdrop. inciting incident?

an interdimensional demigod gets stuck in MEG's basement.

kinda anyway.

theres a rupture in the fabric of spacetime. and out spills this guy, the demigod of instability. since he's, you know, fundamentally unstable, he basically broke into this reality by mistake and gets himself stuck. and because MEG is a big shitty company and their only morality is profit incentive they look at this dude and go "hey, free power source” because hes yknow, an interdimensional minor deity so he’s kind of got a lot of power at his disposal at baseline.

so yes theres our setup. three guys working at this shit company, and one glitched up demigod who's stuck being exploited directly by said company. and he doesnt get a name right away i guess cause hes a freakin god Why Would He but yeah that guys andy.

also fun fact those glowy glyphs hes got instead of tattoos are the same fictional language we see the little girl in the young and menace video speaking.

SO anyway andy is stuck in the basement of a fuckoff massive company having his power leached/exploited and he's desperate to escape. so one night he takes advantage of the fact that hes literally the avatar for the very concept of instability and blows the building power, in the process zapping the three dudes closest to his physical location. like so.

dudes all black out, pass out, and when they wake up they're subtly different though they don't know it yet. joe, patrick, and pete have all become god-infected and since andy is a deity of instability, they’ve all been infected with subsets of that power. each of these powers relate to their mentalities at the point of infection as well as certain lines and themes that exist on the album.

joe is infected with temporal instability. glitching forward and backward in time, temporal looping, shit like that. this is mostly restricted to his own personal timeline; he can affect his own future, not anyone else’s, cause he isnt exactly a god here just a god-infected mortal.

patrick is infected with kinetic instability. basically this means he gets control over the way things move; speeding or slowing momentum, switching directions ,etc.

pete is infected with material instability. essentially, he can alter and phase states of matter. he can’t fundamentally alter the molecules in an object, but he can alter the way those molecules are arranged.

side effects of god infection include but are not limited to: hearing the voices of other god-infectees in your brain! hearing that god try to communicate with you in Your God Damn Dreams! accumulating more and more otherworldly traits the more you use your weird new god infection powers! and MORE

the long and short of it is that andy uses this newly established mental link to say “im stuck in your shitty company’s basement please help” and eventually they do that. they break this guy out and in the process end up on the wrong side of the mania entertainment group, the law, the entire city, the world...basically they’re fucked and literally all they have is each other.

i also wanted to draw predominantly from the album themes, at least as i interpreted them. i figure it’d be pretty tasteless to do a straight up narrative About a mental breakdown. instead i look at the elements present in the album as stuff that can be paralleled in a narrative. no, the album does not deal literally with being some kind of extradimensional entity, but it does deal with the idea of feeling heavily isolated, misunderstood, and like you have no friends. the album does not deal with going on the run from a super-powerful corporate conglomerate that wants you and your friends in their custody, but it does deal with the idea that society expects you to adhere to certain strictures, and deviation from those will be punished. mania as an album discusses what it is to feel dissonant compared to those around you - how you can feel innately monstrous, or incorrect, or like your flaws make you fundamentally impossible to love. that’s part of the reason i like the idea of physical transformation being displayed on each of the guys as they use their otherworldly god infection powers more and more; as they become a little more decoupled from how reality expects them to be, they start to look less “perfect” in the eyes of how the world expects them to behave. but it’s those flaws that give them strength, bind them together, and allow them to relate to one another. not fitting in, which makes them so miserable at first, becomes crucial to how they eventually become drawn to one another.

if this whole thing sounds like an excuse for a cosmic found family trope youre right thats what this is because who the fuck do you think youre talking to.

in order to make that big long illustration i posted earlier, i basically drew a bunch of busts as concepting, got carried away, and then cropped them down. here are the full images if anyone is curious.

interdimensional demigod of instability andy. the glowing sigils all over him shift and swirl and never really sit in one place which means i don’t have to worry about consistency when i draw them ho ho

joe gets this inky pinky distortion/corruption deal the more he uses his temporal instability powers. it never consumes him completely and it doesn’t hurt or affect how he moves around but it can look pretty alarming, especially when wee little bits start flaking off him.

patrick’s design is perhaps obviously based on those llama things that fob got sued over lol cause a) i think patrick getting horns is great and b) again i wanted to draw from the album’s marketing. using his kinetic instability powers starts with sprouting horns and then comes the teeth, the fur, etc. idk how far i want this kind of corruption to go but it could be gnarly if he becomes a big furry werebeast at some point like that’d be fun.

pete’s design doesn’t go as hard as i originally wanted it to but i liked how it turned out too much to alter it. he gets four stubby little horns and volcanic veins like lightning bolts jagging up all over his skin. the veins are the giveaway that he’s using his material instability powers, but the more he uses them he eventually gets himself some horns too.

all four of the guys get rad glowing eyes cause im a sucker for that shit

ALL RIGHT I THINK THATS IT. again i literally just invented this thing during my lunch hour at work out of spite and its just something i think is fun to dick around with. i dont have any serious thoughts about it or whatever but im flattered literally anyone is curious about it so THANK YOU FOR ASKING

[heizuha-queen]

Hi! I'm so happy you liked the idol Kazuha & detective Heiji headcannons. The moment you posted it on your blog, new inspiration hit me without mercy again.

I hope you don't mind me sharing this way too quickly.

The five time Heizuha trolls Dispatch:

1. The first time Dispatch decides to stalk on these two, is when rumours of Heizuha starts to circulate online. Hence, as the good reporter they were, two of them booked a flight to Osaka, tracked down their address and started 'reporting'. It was fruitful, since they managed to take photographs of Heiji and Kazuha going on a date to an okonomiyaki restaurant (in true Heiji Kazuha fashion). However, things immediately went south when the two reporters ended up being witnesses to a murder case Heizuha got into when they were on a date. They got into trouble since they had to come clean and give their statements as witnesses to the police, and the only person who could translate for them on the spot was Kazuha. (You bet Heiji screamed his head off at those two reporters once he knew). Not only that, the pictures they took ended up being crucial evidence for the case. Hence, all that hard work was taken away by the police for report and investigation purposes. Since the case report procedure took a while to be completed, by the time the police could return those pictures, the two reporters have already returned to Korea with nothing more than trauma over seeing a dead body and resigning from Dispatch. After this, Heiji may or may not used his connections with the police to get rid of those photos. But hey! On the bright side, those photos were the reason why Heiji was able to crack that case under 10 minutes.

2. The second time Dispatch flew to Osaka, their jobs were definitely challenging since Heiji and Kazuha were more cautious about going out together. Heck, even throughout the whole three days trip, they didn't see Heiji and Kazuha together at all. Kazuha never came out of her house and Heiji never came to hers. Hence, in utter disappointment, they left Osaka empty-headed. Although, in reality, Kazuha really went all out and camped at the Hattori residence during those 3 days, in a separate room, of course. (Heizo didn't want to get killed). Although you can bet Shizuka was very aware of how often Kazuha would sneak into Heiji's room and vice versa when they thought no one's looking.

3. The third time, a new pair of reporters did manage to stalk Heiji and Kazuha on another date. They decided to start sending someone who was fluent in Japanese to ensure things went smoothly (in case the first incident repeated lol). However, the two reporters were utterly speechless. All they managed to get were videos of Heiji and Kazuha yelling at each other and calling one another AHOU. They argued all day. And it wasn't pretty. There was nothing romantic captured on camera at all. Despite following them for two days straight, all they got were videos of them throwing insults at each other. Something that definitely couldn't prove that they're dating. Although, in all actuality, Heiji and Kazuha simply fell back to their argue-like-a-married-couple habit and decided to keep it up to troll those Dispatch reporters.

4. To be honest, Heiji and Kazuha did nothing. It was their parents. One day, when reporter A was about to follow Heiji as he went out of his house, Shizuka politely stopped them and invited them inside for tea. Inside, as Shizuka was serving tea, Heizo joined the table with only just a glance at the reporter. It technically went down like this;

"You are a very hardworking reporter"

"Thank you, sir"

"You do realise that stalking is a criminal offense and the only reason I haven't arrested you is because it takes too much paperwork to handle foreign criminals"

At that moment, no matter how delicious Shizuka's tea and desserts were, reporter A wanted nothing more that to run away from their seat and never return.

On another hand, reporter B followed as Kazuha went out shopping with her father. When Kazuha went to the toilet for a while, reporter B was scared to death when Touyama turned around towards them with his stern and scary face. He simply took out his police badge as said; " You have five minutes to leave"

Indeed. Leave, reporter B did. Ever since then, Dispatch reporters refused to stalk Heizuha no matter what as reporter A and reporter B made sure EVERYONE knew Heizuha parents' message for them.

5. This time, Dispatch was just dumbfounded. After all those years, all the money, all the hardships, they couldn't prove that Heizuha was real at all.

Yet, Heizuha just had to place the cherry on top by announcing their engagement on social media themselves.

Then, people online considered it victory for Heizuha for never getting exposed by any news site. Specifically, Dispatch.

Dispatch just gave up on them..

Have you ever considered writing a fanfiction? BECAUSE YOUR IDEAS ARE AMAZING! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!

It’s well thought out and really funny! I love this so much and honestly you should write maybe a small fic or something if that sort because you don’t want that talent to go away.

Further Insight on Briar's Recent Discourse & Prim's Apparent Grooming of Younger, Newer Witches

It was suggested to me that instead of making one long post (which I was genuinely sorry for creating in the moment as well), that I should offer the second half in a separate one so that it is easier to share and harder to simply ignore as a wall of text.

Here is the link to the first half of the current JBird and Briar discourse floating around. I highly encourage everyone involved in the Witchblr community to review both posts and not just this final addition. 

Regarding Prim stirring the pot, I actually do have proof of that on my page somewhere if you wouldn't mind my sending it to you? The person I reblogged it from, Mahi, also received death threats from Prim when they were only 16 and Prim was 20 (I can't ask him to share that though because Prim has since used her following to drive him off of Tumblr and he's still fairly [and justifiably] sensitive about it.)

Regarding Briar's statements more specifically though, I can see where the confusion is coming from. After the "in France" part, she's just defining a relevant term (hence the use of "irrelevant details) and then giving an explanation of how she came to be so knowledgeable about that term/concept. I wouldn't say she's calling Prim's activism an "irrelevant detail," but pointing out how Prim uses it as a shield against backlash whenever another blog (not just tradcrafters) calls out her platform. I don't expect you to fully understand or see what I mean when I say that, of course. Because you are still new, and these are habits I've observed of hers from nearly a year of following their interactions. I would, however, like to point out that Briar doesn't say anything racist about Prim and does not once bring up her race. In fact, I think if you read her entire post and not just point 3 as Prim has it cropped out in all of her mentions of it, you would see more fully the depth and amount of frustration Briar is trying to express. Similarly, Briar never threatened to dox Prim. She has, in fact, repeatedly tried to point out that Prim should be protecting her online information and be more aware of how to stop others from finding out about her private life/situation. These statements, however, have since been warped by Prim and her followers to come off as a threat on her life. Briar's statements above aren't a threat of doxxing. She's never once posted Prim's personal information or told others to find it or use it in any way. She has, however, searched for Taglocks on Prim, something witches especially are known to look for. In that search she found more than she was even looking for, despite trying to tell Prim repeatedly to stop being so open online with the information she posts about herself. Doxxing though is not racist. It is something used by them, sure, but it is not inherently racist.

Additionally, Prim has raised money, sure, but I still have not seen any actual receipts as to her *actually* donating it to any public or private organizations. This, for me, is highly suspect. In reality, we still have no idea where that money is. Whereas with Briar, she took no money in for a couple days on her readings and instead merely asked that those requesting a reading first submit proof of donation to an organization linked in the post. She raised substantial money for the BLM movement, but no one seems to want to bring that up in all of their "she's a racist" discourse. Also, the observation that someone is misleading or gaslighting their following is not racist. Just because she said Prim was recently using her BLM reblogs & promotions to do it *this time* still does not make it racist. Questionable wording is just something the reader disagrees with, in my opinion, and should be addressed as such.

I'm not going to lie, I do feel a little frustrated at this point. I was really hoping to come to you and see that you had concrete proof to offer that Briar is a racist. I do understand that you have your own reasons for feeding into the assumptions and twisted outlooks already taken on Briar's words, but I don't have enough energy in me to fully swallow my tongue on this one. I really do hope that you at least consider what I've said here. I'm not sure what I can say at this point because all of the information I've read from you thus far has been purely conjecture or assumptions or just "not feeling right" about the wordings on a single post. A racist, from my perspective, is not something I would ever feel comfortable calling someone off of this lack of evidence.

I understand it is hard to separate preconceived notions from your mind when reading through the words of others, but I really do miss when you were more open to the words of others. If I could ask one thing of you, it'd be to please try to read Briar's post again but from the perspective of seeing it how it was meant to be: a witch who has been on the butt end of Prim's harassment for going on three years now. She is tired of the wild accusations and constantly having to defend herself, and even when she supplied her proof a couple years ago, no one wanted to hear her. She has, largely, given up on being heard, and now screams into what feels like a void when attacked.

Proof of Prim stirring the pot that I offered: An example of Prim actively seeking out the community and trying to stir the pot with an already dealt with situation that had passed over a year ago.

A direct source that I offered as further proof of what has occurred already: This is one from the account mentioned before who was directly involved with the previous discord server where the Trio incident took place a couple years back.

[A Reply.] I think, to be fair, I saw your comments on her previous posts through your main, and with how much aggression you packed into those messages, I don't necessarily blame her for deciding not to engage with your private messages. As I've said, she's very used to people attacking her like that, and in her mind, unfortunately, you've probably been added to the list of aggressive people ready to fling the blame at her rather than look at the situation as a whole. I do apologize for the way her post may have made you feel, but I think it's also important to remember the potentially aggressive things you left on her page (I'm not saying you meant to come off that way, but even I couldn't help but read that way). Also, regarding the ask, it's no small secret that the occultists of the tradcraft group are skilled and well-versed in hexes and curses. When reading her posts about how she may respond to further antagonism on Prim's part, I see a fully realized occultist wielding their most well kept and trained weapon: baneful magic. I'm sure Prim herself also understands that the "threat on her life" she's saying she's so afraid of, isn't a physical threat, but a metaphysical one. She has repeatedly and continually tried to drag these people through the mud, and now that they're refusing to just sit back and be canceled, she's afraid. She knows how strong their magic is, and they aren't shy about it 🤷‍♀️

[A Reply.] No, I completely understand where you're coming from. I, personally, have seen your willingness to talk things through, despite how aggressive you can come off at times in the things you say, so I think that's why I was genuinely so surprised to see your comments on some of her posts. But I do think her response and refusal to further directly engage with you is warranted and her right. Unfortunately, it is hard to tell who is genuinely open to talking and who is just trying to bait and add to the problem. And with how aggressive your comments were, 8 honestly think she most likely was responding from a place of "oh look another young Prim follower here to bait and berate me." I don't think she looks down on you for your age, but her views are likely a reflection of the fact that a lot of 18yos follow Prim and have openly harassed her without even asking for her input on the matter.

At this point, I would like to talk about the second half of the title of this particular post. Grooming. This is a very serious allegation against Prim that I have not spoken on previously because I had no proof that it was happening. With this person's permission, I would like to share how exactly they wound up fighting Prim's battles for her.

I will note: I am highly disgusted by what follows.

[A Reply.] Oh no! You cannot fault yourself for this! Prim is a known manipulator, and the fact that she was able to make you somehow think this is part of your being "gullible and naive" is just testament to the fact that she's gotten wayyy too good at what she does. This is in no way your fault or because of some fault within you. Practiced manipulators are cunning and dangerous even to the best of us. It was unfortunate that she chose you, but her twisting you around is in no way a bad reflection on you as a person!

I've chosen to include my reply to this person rather than our continued discussion because of how personal and involved our conversation turned. I've included it to show, as well, that grooming others to fight your battles is (though this should go without saying) NEVER OKAY. Prim has shown her true colors, in my opinion, and while I tried to give her the benefit of the doubt time and time again, I simply cannot permit myself to ignore the harm and damage she's inflicted on not only the tradcraft community, but also this innocent group of friends. A group who that has hitherto dedicated their time to sussing out predators, terfs, nazis, and racists. A group that should never have had to deal with being gaslit and manipulated by a well-known and respected blogger on this platform.

I cannot reiterate enough how sorry and deeply shocked I am at the information this person has brought to my attention. I am still stunned by Prim's activities and unable to fathom how many other potential individuals are out there being groomed to support and fight for her cause. I am sorry to the Witchblr community as a whole. I feel as if I have sat by and watched as Witchblr has been manipulated and am therefore complacent in the damage and needless hurt that has been allowed to spread throughout our community. I am just so very, very sorry.

I will be taking a couple days off of Tumblr because of this, as I feel as if I need space and time to think, but my inbox is always open and I am always available to speak with others on my return.

Mass Shootings Symptoms In May 2022: Fake Allies (YT Folks), Race Traitors (Raccoons) & White Silence

I simply wanted to make this video short today to serve as a friendly reminder. It won't be difficult at all to get the gist of the three main points of my discussion today. I want to share three red flags: Fake Allies, Race Traitors, and White Silence.

FAKE ALLIES (YT FOLKS) who have false intentions because they are NOT black and don't necessarily associate themselves with the Black Culture or Black Identity. If you wanted to be an anti-racist ally, you MUST actively support the black community or the BIPOC community in public and work with the members of those marginalized groups. Take the example of white people you might know who are active supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement. This appears to be the constructive awareness of the allyship.

We'll move on to the second part of my speaking notes about white people as racists. You're probably already familiar with sadist racism, so I don't need to repeat it.

White silence and race traitors are the third and last numbers, but they're one the essential topics in this vlog. 

DEAF BLACK PEOPLE (COONS)

"Race Traitor" is one of the toughest definitions I visualized in American Sign Language. How do you pronounce this in ASL? Am I supposed to finger-spell "race traitor" every time? YET, MY POINT IS THAT IT HAS TWO WORDS TOGETHER: RACE TRAITOR (COONS). I want to say this to the black deaf community, including all the non-disabled black people, regardless of their skin tone. I'm NOT worried about naming names right now. I don't care how they appear on the outside: darker or lighter. Look, my point is that it might be anybody identifying as "black" while being a traitor to their own brethren (siblings) or non-binary folks, but it doesn't matter who they are. For example, they have chosen to ignore the reality that someone they know has died of a racist attack or an act of black-on-black violence. Unfortunately, some black people are like that and randomly say, "It's not my fault they got themselves killed!" "They probably deserved it." "I don't give a f**k."

THEY DON'T CARE WHETHER THEY'RE FRIENDS WITH THE VICTIMS OR NOT IN REAL LIFE. THEY JUST DON'T CARE.

So you decided to stop caring about my well-being after the mass shooting incident in Buffalo, New York. Then you're automatically considered a "race traitor" in my eyes.

Three Red Flags being considered that you might be curious why I brought this up or made the biggest fuss out of mass shooting symptoms. Remember the previous video I made? Click the link now!

You saw that video. Right? Right now, that's where I live. I shared the 22-minute video with people I know on social media sites, but then I noticed a problem and found out too late that some don't talk to me often, don't respond, or ignore me for a long time.

WHY WHITE SILENCE IS VIOLENT

Whenever I tried to communicate online with my "white friends," they got strangely silent around me. This is called "white silence" because it indicates that the YT FOLKS don't care about black individuals killed due to a violent act. They're simply unaffected by the disturbing incident. They just decided NOT to talk about the victims, which created a worrisome silence. They won't engage you in a conversation because they don't care and won't change their minds. After observing my "white friends," I realized my instinct tells me they are either well-hidden racists or fraudulent allies of anti-racist activist groups, even though they claim to support them. Although we were "chat buddies" on the internet, we NEVER really talked for a while. It seemed ironic that they were supposed to be my support system, but they AVOIDED talking to me for a long time.

IT'S BEEN AN INCREDIBLY BIZARRE EXPERIENCE BEING FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE WHO HASN'T BLOCKED ME ONLINE.

On May 14, a shooting happened in a grocery store in my residential location of Buffalo, New York. I told my "white friends" on the internet about what happened, and they NEVER responded! Only a few of them do, but I began to be suspicious of them because of that.

HIDDEN RACISM?

Is it possible that my "white friends" have racist feelings against me, specifically by targeting me, but NOT to the others who have the same skin as me?

THEY'RE NOT ALLIES, ARE THEY?

My angry thoughts started rambling all over the place, which led me to believe that there was something strange about the way my fake friends being morbidly silent. I asked them online, asking, "Why do you keep ignoring me?"

Okay, fine! I guess that's what this is all about. I made a rash decision to block, unsubscribe, and unfriend them on multiple social media platforms. That is precisely what I have done in May 2022!

MY REMINDER TO Y'ALL

I just wanted to politely remind everyone that identifying names is NOT my main concern at this time because I don't care who they are or what their race is; it's just me reminding you. But if the people who call themselves "my friends" failed to care about my mental health, started alienating me, or took advantage of my emotional fragility without my prior knowledge.

OKAY, I GUESS WE'RE BETTER OFF NOT BEING FRIENDS. WHATEVER!

THOSE WHO WISH ME DEAD

I just mentioned my neighborhood food market exactly two days ago on YouTube. I often wondered if my enemies secretly reacted in anger that I didn't get bloodied or scratched or worse. They probably wished I was the eleventh victim in my zip code store.

"YOU SHOULD BE DEAD IN THAT STORE!" "I WANTED IT TO BE YOU, BUT YOU'RE AT HOME!" "WHY ARE YOU STILL BREATHING?"

I DON'T NEED TO EXPOSE THE NAMES OF PEOPLE (WHOEVER) SECRETLY WISHED ME DEAD.

I'm NOT surprised if they said that behind my back in a sneaky way that I didn't know about. I suppose I was tryin' to say that I'll use the phrase "secretly wishing." Some fake friends don't necessarily share their personal thoughts just because they have a right to their own privacy without making it public. 

FAKE ALLIES

It's probably because you don't have a clue what they're really thinking, in their own heads, you know? See what I'm trying to say? I'm pretty sure my so-called "friends" have already wished I wasn't alive in that store.

I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS IF I GO TO THAT STORE? WHAT WILL BECOME OF YOU? WHAT'S NEXT?

If you did, you're NOT my most trusted ally, and you absolutely have a ZERO right to call yourself a "friend" to be happy that I died. You can't be one of our anti-racist allies who is honest and loyal to the BIPOC community.

YOU. JUST. CAN'T. BE. ALLY. PERIOD.

RACE TRAITORS (Raccoons or Coons)

I'm fully aware that I have adversaries in the black community, with or without disabilities. But I know NOT everyone in the same community universally hates me, and that's okay. I'm saying that whoever it was, they didn't like me for anything more than the fact that we're both black! I had many black people in my life who hated me to the core for various reasons. The only worry I had was that they would whisper to someone they confide in, "I really wish Payton Gendron had killed you-know-who in that store." Of course, then, I'll refer to these ones in my community as "race traitors." They don't care that our skin is the same color and have decided to be happy that I'm dead.

THE RECAP

Three Red Flags: Fake Allies, Race Traitors, And White Silence

You've already learned THREE RED FLAGS on the internet: fake allies (racist white people), traitorous black people, and white silence that amplifies the violence. 

You just have to keep them in mind daily.

Whoever you refer to or use the specific term "should," you become responsible for developing your forbidden desires of someone you despise. If you had a solid aversion to someone or weren't even friends with a specific person because you say "should" or "wish" to let adversaries know that they are better off being dead.

I WILL NOT ACCEPT OR AGREE TO "WISHFUL THINKING." THIS IS NOT OKAY.

Actually, that's what's happening to me in May 2022. Some of my so-called friends have already shown me their true colors. Now I have a better insight into their true personalities of being phony friends.  

IN CONCLUSION

I'll NEVER forget those who mistreated me badly from this moment forward. Still, the facts reminded me that I couldn't do anything to change the situation between them and me.

I'M IN CHARGE OF MAINTAINING MY ENERGY LEVEL AND MENTAL HEALTH, AND I MUST PROTECT MYSELF AT ALL COSTS.

I can't afford to be in the company of "fake allies" or "traitorous coons” while suffering in white silence! I just can't do that right now. I can't. That's why I'm ending my friendship with 'em now.
