#it could be a green flag

[gildeddlily]

my something flag is that, as a seasoned marauders fan, I've never read All The Young Dudes. I tried to, finished half the thing, then got bored and stopped. just like that. and now I can't stop seeing videos or posts talking ab it while i'm just there being pretty and voluntarily ignorant

Season 5 Spoilers

the opening has that one puzzle that shows what I think looks like a younger seven?

In another shot you can see the cut on his back. Maybe he's in the middle of training ? Fighting something?

And then there's this guy that shows up during episode 1 on the bridge

And my first thought was.. seven's dad....?

Angel and Husk finding comfort in their mutual loser-ness is so much better than that "look at the bright side" BS that people give me when I talk about my trauma

To the person who cheated on this man

I wish nothing but the worst for you.

I could argue that this aroace flag is better at communicating that it is the aroace flag because it has the purple n greens and the "grey scale" that both ace n aro flags have and everyone that can identify those two will understand what this flag means

And is the best combo/mashup aroace flag because it does have design unlike other combined flags

And that I love so much the colors of the aroace sunset flag and I like the idea of using blue for aroace, but it doesn't communicate that well that it's aroace, it doesn't even have the iconic "grey scale"

But I don't have the time to do that, so

Since Izzy is paralleled to Mary in "Uncomfortable in a Married State", he deserves to get his own Doug.

[doomed2repeat]

You ever make yourself sad realizing that every woman who’s ever told Colin she loves him has been exposed to him as a liar?

And that even at his flirtiest, Colin maintains the honesty that Marina recognized him for back in S1 when she said he doesn’t play games, by telling the debutantes up front that he did not come back to London to look for a wife and never dancing with any of them or singling any one girl out from the packs to give his attention to?

Or how about realizing that after believing his best friend abandoned him for no reason other than his own unlikeability he goes to brothels where everything is transactional- he pays a fee (in advance even!) gets attention for however long the encounter lasts, with no promises or lies- and that just makes him feel even more empty that’s not the kind of honest connection he’s craving?

Or that Colin’s own body can’t lie once he knows what that honest connection feels like?

Or that when he realizes the woman he loves most in the world lies and keeps secrets, he’s willing to make himself lie to his family just to be with her and keep her secret safe?

more Soohyun thoughts

the king of entering a scene BY YELLING A LINE and then saying the next sentence in a calmer, yet still threatening tone. Marching into the workplace? YELL at the employee standing there quietly on his phone. Bring his car to a screeching stop at a cross walk to stop that same employee from walking home? Exit the vehicle YELLING and then continue normally (but angry). Same poor guy not wanting to go to lunch with him later? Demand he quit his current role and when he is not happy about that YELL at him. Follow same dude when he flees the vehicle. YELL some more and scratch his face (unintentionally) (but evidence that Soohyun is in fact a wet cat in a human body).

Manhwa Soohyun wasn't much for yelling. He did pull the "lurk outside of Daon's place every single day and make him spend the night with me" card. And he was so committed to getting to Daon once he was back that Jaemin made Daon move to his vacation house to keep him away.

Did anyone else start quietly cheering for Soohyun at the scene where he is sitting at his desk holding the ointment/bandages? Like, yes king, look at you reflecting on the unintended consequences of your actions and experiencing some genuine remorse for the damage you wrought- and oh, never mind, he almost immediately tosses them aside and starts angrily scheming to ruin Daon's work. Way to reflect, look at and acknowledge the responsible option, and deliberately choose not to improve. I couldn't help but laugh.

ALSO! In the scenario where there is no Seonghyun (in the show): Would Soohyun get his way? No Seong to enter the scene doesn't change Soohyun coming back, but without Seong's support Daon is in a significantly -weaker?- position to rebuff Soo's advances. That actually goes for both Soohyun and Jaemin, but in my definitely not biased at all opinion no sir not me, I think Soohyun would pull ahead in the end. He is just more upfront aggressive + has more access through the workplace.

I imagine it would get to the work dinner scene where Soohyun finds out Jaemin orchestrated that one guy undressing Daon & taking pics to really light the fuse. That leads to Soo outright telling Daon about Jaemin's machinations, Daon denies, but doubt is already sown through his sister's remarks just like we saw, confrontation with Jaemin - here's where I can't decide if that would go down the same with a Daon who hasn't had a peek at what authentic affection (too early to say love?) looks like thanks to Seong. But let's say Daon stays strong, doesn't stick around Jaemin. Then... yup, Soohyun's there and just keeps at it until Daon cracks.

Wait! The ring confession scene happened before the Jaemin confrontation scene... okay, I stand by the same conclusion - with even more gusto now because it was Seonghyun's words that Daon recalled during Soo asking to start over. Without that, Daon would be 1. already rejected earlier by Jaemin, and 2. Facing his first crush and just given The Ring of Too Big Feelings. I think Daon would crack right there. Nostalgia, or just an exhaustion of having to continuously rebuff this -raging lunatic- who also happens to be his boss's Boss. Who among us would hold out??

Then to hammer in the nail, Soohyun could go on and still reveal what Jaemin did, and then for funsies he goes with Daon to confront Jaemin. Then we could either say:

Let the Poly Flag Fly - something something and then the three of them reignite their toxic throuple-adjacent bubble of their uni days but for real this time. Like an 80% chance Daon ends up atticwife-d. No one goes to therapy.

Catfight: Soohyun physically attacks Jaemin / Jaemin physically attacks Soohyun. Bonus points for this happening if Soo doesn't reveal he is there initially until Jaemin's facade cracks and he tries to move in on Daon. Then Soo charges in. by the laws of drama convenience, no one goes to jail and Soohyun gets what he wants and no one goes to therapy.

Is it exactly a happy ending for Daon - eh, Soohyun's temper is going to be a forever problem stemming from his family issues, so no? Show Soo at least never choked Daon out like in the webcomic so yay for that way to hit the bare minimum babe. Soohyun would probably also still stop the whole going to the overseas branch project because why would he let Daon go away from him. But damn, did the Soohyun x Daon ship of their school days get royally screwed over by Jaemin.

Smarter than me writers could make this work, dang it.

by this i mean the evil polycule

[bl-bracket]

So when a new bracket starts, I always like to go through all the bls I've seen to find characters to submit, especially since I started doing prelims, but this time I was thoroughly stumped trying to think of guys to add that were actually green flags. All of the wells I usually draw from for characters for these were all full of so many red flags. So I was like: well there probably won't be a ton of characters submitted this time which is fine I can always do a 32 bracket.

And then bam! Not even the first day of submissions and there's been a TON of characters submitted! A lot don't have propaganda yet, but still it's like crazy numbers for one day.

So basically the moral of the story is that my experiences and tastes are not universal lol

When your anti-bot algorithms make it impossible to use your website, you're defeating the purpose of having them.

When I first got this today, all I'd done was go to an author's page, find a work I'd finished reading (not on AO3) and bookmark it. Then did a wordcount sort on their works to see if they had any longfics.

None of that is an excessive amount of use, or an unusual way to use AO3 (other than the not reading fics on AO3 part, and I *really* hope that's not the "you're a bot!" trigger because I can't be the only person that reads offline for reasons of disability, preference, poor internet connection, whatever).

"Browse more slowly" what, am I supposed to throttle my internet and LARP as a fanfic reader in 2002? Relive the ole dial-up experience? Count to 10 before every click?

I probably wouldn't have bothered making a griping post for this but a friend mentioned having their Twitter account suspended yesterday because they were falsely detected as being a bot.

And it just makes me wonder--is that how Dead Internet Theory will kill the internet? Not by there being too many bots, but by all the real humans being blocked from using it? It's not hard to program variability into a bot--to make it not post at the same time every day, or to make its clicks randomized so there's not 5 seconds between every one.

It's ironically harder to do that for a human--who browses naturally and can't simply plug an RNG or different timer into their use. Who might post their art every day at 1230PM because that's when their lunch break starts and they're free to upload their morning doodles. Not because they're a bot scheduled to post every day at 1230pm.
