#it's like they're threatened by him 🙃

[undead-knick-knack]

As a Laudmoore shipper, I was wondering if you noticed the fandoms weird deflection of Ashton's behaviors at the end of the fight against the frog-dragon? I don't know, but I've seen some people commenting on how sweet it was that Imogen used telekinesis to pull Laudna along and Ashton using his rage to pull Fearne along. It kinda neatly separate's the four of them into the two most comfortable ships for people (Imodna and Callowmoore) but it does nothing to address the fact that Ashton was also pulling Laudna along too.

It feels weirdly simplistic? Like, because Imogen has feelings for Laudna, Imogen saved her. But because Fearne and Ashton steal from each other, Ashton saved Fearne, but not also Laudna

I'm not sure, what are your thoughts?

Oh yeah I've definitely noticed people ignoring that Imogen using telekinetic shove directly pushed Laudna into Ashton's Gravity Well which is what ultimately got her out of harm's way. Like objectively that is what happened and it's weird that people feel the need to separate these 2things and only focus on Ashton helping Fearne, and Imogen helping Laudna Ashton even doing that really isn't surprising since this is what he's been doing since getting Laudna back, looking out for her; and as the party's Tank, it's basically they're fucking job to try to keep the Glass Canon from getting pummeled. Like I have no doubt in my mind that if the scenario would have been different, Ashton would've pulled Imogen along too with no hesitation. Personally, as a Laudmoore and Callowmoore shipper I view the whole thing as "Ashton is being a good protector of 2women they care about :)," and am thankful everyone came out ok Side note tho, as a joke, when I watched the episode with my friend I made this meme with no intention of posting it, but I'm feeling silly tonight so I'll post it here :3

PLEASE NOTE, this meme is in fact a joke I made taking the piss out of people who view literally everything thru a shipping and romantic context, and is not really how I view the whole situation

i think it fucks immensely that bk moon went out of his way to 1) establish rakiel wished to live a long life and eventually pass away of old age, 2) have him very briefly envy an immortal being only to be told very clearly to be careful what he wishes for by that very same person because living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be, 3) make the main antagonist be another immortal being who is so desperate to die he's willing to destroy the universe just to finally rest and 4) have said antagonist psychologically torture rakiel with the threat of making him live for a thousand years as everyone he loves and knows eventually grows old and dies and becomes nothing but forgotten memories.

only to then end the novel by making rakiel also immortal

like. god. it's so fucking good i love it. i'm not being sarcastic i genuinely think it fucks and it's one of the best ways bk moon could've wrapped up the plot.

it's a happy ending by all means but it has consequences and through the entire novel we've been shown and told over and over again just how heavy the consequences are and/or will be on rakiel.

he got his happy ending but it was at a price and by the last time we see him he's only just starting to pay for it.

it's great i love it

Heyyy! Can you do a reader comforting the hazbin hotel men after a nightmare? Thank you! 🙃

Come here, let me hold you

Hazbin Hotel men (Alastor, Angel Dust, Adam, Lucifer)

Warning: established relationships (idk if that's a warning lol)

i'm gonna do Husk and Vox on a different post. i couldn't think at the moment, but they're on the way i promise!!!

Alastor never usually slept; only on rare occasions. but when you insisted on him laying next to you, how could he resist? he would normally read while you slept if he didn't have the intentions of hitting the hay. but tonight was one of the few nights that he slept. definitely one that you'll replay in the back of your mind for the rest of your afterlife.

you woke in the middle of the night, feeling an eerie presence behind you. when you turned and sat up, you were met with a truly horrifying sight.

Alastor was in his full demonic form, lanky limbs stretched out on the mattress and demonic symbols floating around him. his body twitched and his antlers grew in size as you watched, horror etched onto your features. tears pooled at your waterline as you watched, afraid to even move.

timidly, you stuck out a hand and gently touched Alastor's arm.

big mistake.

his eyes shot open and he looked at you with a glare so menacing you thought you were about to double die. he roughly grabbed your wrist, his claws digging slightly, making blood seep out. you look at your wrist, a shriek slipped past your lips without you realizing as you looked back at Alastor with fear in your eyes.

he must have known that you were scared because his grin faltered slightly.

"Al," you whisper, "i didn't mean...you were having a nightmare. i didn't know what to do."

Alastor's eyes softened and his antlers shrunk slightly, along with his limbs. the symbols disappeared and he slowly sat up, still maintaining eye contact with you. he slowly released your wrist and looked down at it.

"my dear..." Alastor said softly, no static filtering his voice. "i am...terribly sorry. i understand your true intentions, and i send my gratitude, but it's best to let me go through what i'm going through if you'd like to keep your life."

it wasn't intended to be threatening, you knew that. but you felt scared. scared that he might hurt you.

"i'm sorry...i just wanted to make sure you were okay"

he nods, his usual smile falling to a grin as he leans in and kisses your lips. "i truly apologize for making you fearful, dearest. let us rest."

he guided you to lay back down onto the soft mattress dressed in red satin sheets, his arm wrapping around you and holding you close.

"i love you, dearest"

Angel liked to sleep. a lot. he and Fat Nuggets would lay in bed all day. and it was even better if you were there, too.

you were currently laying next to Angel, fast asleep. you were a light sleeper, even Fat Nuggets shifting woke you up. you felt shifting beside you and stirred awake, sitting up and rubbing your eyes. you look around the dark room, letting your eyes adjust to the darkness, then look over at Angel. he was sweating, and his eyebrows were arched in fear. you leaned over, elbow digging into the pillow beside Angel’s head as you placed your hands on his cheeks, gently stroking them with your thumbs.

“Angel, baby. come on, wake up.” you say softly. Angel starts to stir slightly and opens his eyes. they widen slightly when they land on you.

“oh my god, are you okay?!” Angel says, swiftly pulling you into a tight hug. he starts to cry softly into your shoulder, and all you can do is hold him.

“Angel, what happened?” you ask him. he pulls you closer, his body racking with sobs. you run your fingers through his hair and kiss his temple, your other hand rubbing his back.

“you died, baby. you died and i couldn’t do nothin’. i was so scared.” Angel said into your shoulder. you hold him tighter, worry etched onto your features.

“baby, i’m not going no where. i promise.” you say into his hair and kiss all over his face. “i love you too much to leave you, darling.”

Angel looked up at you and wiped his eyes with his upper set of arms, his bottom set hugging your waist. he smiles softly.

“promise, toots?”

“i promise, baby”

you lean down and kiss him softly. he smiles into the kiss and holds your face, but the kiss was short lived due to a needy pig squeezing himself between you two. you and Angel both laugh softly and snuggle Fat Nuggets. as you drift off, the last thing you hear is Angel’s soft voice.

“i love you, baby”

Adam is a pretty heavy sleeper. he sleeps through anything, especially when he's having a nightmare.

it was roughly 1am, and you were still up. you were tossing and turning, still unable to fall asleep. your head snapped to Adam when you heard a small whimper. his face was contorted in fear and his limbs were stretched around his side of the bed.

"Adam, honey. wake up" you whisper, leaning over to him.

no luck, obviously. he could sleep through a hurricaine.

"Adam, come on. wake up" you shake his shoulder, and his eyes snap open. his body shoots up as he gasps, his face buried in his hands.

"Adam...what's going on? you've been having nightmares all week, baby."

Adam looks at you with eyes that tug at your heart. pupils large and tears threatening to spill out of his beautiful golden eyes.

"oh, baby." You guide him to lay back down and cuddle into his side, your arm subconsciously stretching over his stomach, the part of his body that he's most insecure of, and caress his wing.

"i'm not leaving you, Adam. i promise" you say, leaning up and kissing his chin. "i love you too much to leave you"

Adam looked down at you, his eyes glossed with tears as he looks at you with pure love.

"you mean more to me than Eve and Lillith combined. i'd die if i didn't have you" Adam whispered, making your heart flutter.

"i love you, Adam. now sleep. i'll be here when you wake up"

Adam shifted onto his side so he faced you, tucking a piece of hair behind your ear, a dopey smile tugging at his lips.

"i love you, babe"

"go to sleep, dick master"

"FUCK YEAH! someone understands my role here! fucking finally!"

"shut up and sleep, Adam*

Lucifer liked to wrap his wings around you while you slept, mainly because it made you feel safe, but also because he wanted to assure himself you wouldn't leave like Lillith.

your eyes flutter open as you feel Lucifer's wings twitching against you. you peer up and see Lucifer crying in his sleep, a distressed look on his face. you quickly sit up and bring him close to you, holding him.

"hey, hey, it's okay, Luci. i need you to wake up, my love" you coo softly, looking down at his face.

his eyes open swiftly and his wings open to their full size, knocking the nearby painting off the wall.

"hey, you're okay. it's okay" you say to him, your heart breaking as he looks up at you with fear in his glossed-over eyes.

"you...you're still here? you didn't leave?" Lucifer says softly, his hand reaching up to touch your face. your heart aches even more as he says this.

"no baby, i didn't leave. i'll never leave. i promise" you say, running your fingers through his hair.

his large red irises bore into you lovingly as a tear falls from his eye.

"you...you won't?" Lucifer questions, and you shake your head.

"never ever. i'll stay here as long as you'll let me" you say, leaning down to peck his lips.

he looks up at you with a small smile. his eyes say everything his mouth can't right now.

"come on, Luci. let's go back to bed." you say, guiding him to lay back down. once you're comfortably situated, he buries his face in your chest and falls asleep rather quickly.

you giggle softly, "good night Lucifer. i love you"

An Undiluted Desire

I saw that a beacon has been lit for someone to discuss Sauron's sultry expression and line delivery about touching the darkness. Now, it may not be as spicy as some others might put it, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

Let's get into it!

(gif courtesy of @letthefairyinyoufly)

I honestly can't believe I didn't include this in my meta, especially after watching the clip earlier. This might be blasphemy, but it might be better than the "Not all of it". 🙃🫠 anyway...

So, what I want to focus on first is his expression. He's staring her down, right? Like, it's crazy sharp. How about the rest of his features? Look at his mouth. It's quivering, as if he's feverish. I mean, if we're being honest, he probably is just by being next to her, sharing her space, and sparring with her like he has probably wanted to do since Numenor (okay, I feel like I'm repeating myself here from earlier posts, but whatever, lol). You could probably make the argument that he's staving her off, or trying to hold her down so he can talk to her. However, this is Sauron we're talking about here. Just going by his mouth and his little chin-lift, the guy was just teaming to be physically close to her, which is more obvious when he leans into her after pushing her into the boulder.

Another piece of evidence towards his unrelenting desire is the timbre of his voice. There are little changes in pitch here and there, including slightly high ones, such as when he says "'we". Sauron is also incredibly breathless as he speaks. One such instance is "surely you". He sounds ragged. But it's his tone throughout the whole line that gets me. It's so quiet and intimate. Again, though he's using a lot of energy, there's no reason to be that softspoken. He could use a regular 'inside voice' (forgive my preschool para-ness). Instead, it's this passionate voice that would work for a love confession that isn't made during a life-threatening situation.

So, the conclusion is that I believe Sauron is fighting not just physically, but internally as well. The dude is clearly a goner in his feelings for her. However, he has too much respect for her to express too much tangible affection. Thus locking swords is the way to go. But it's clear he's having a very difficult time holding all that in, because it's very apparent the want is eating at him.

As @rey-jake-therapist has said, it would be cruel if they never let Sauron and Gal kiss once. Heck, even him touching her again, like during the mind palace raft scene. It could be plausible during a s3 mind palace scene, considering we all believe they're more connected now, and he might try to push that new darkness out.

[zoe-oneesama]

On a serious note, why do you not like Derision? I mean, I can guess why, but I’m genuinely curious to hear your thoughts (if you want to).

What have they done to my boy?!

I guess we'll start with the whole "trauma" thing since that's how the episode starts - with Marinette going on a date with Adrien at the pool but constantly getting heart palpitations at the very idea of it. And not good lovey-dovey crush ones like Sabine thinks. The Actual Panic Attack kind.

This just feels unnecessary AND too late. Unnecessary because there are plenty of pre-established reasons why Marinette could be hesitant to go all in with Adrien (Being Ladybug, the 354th other times going for Adrien has failed or left her humiliated, Being Ladybug). So I don't know why they invented a trauma for her in the final hour and didn't think it was worth talking about before now?

They really came up with this whole scheme to explain why Marinette does Marinette things, like learning Adrien's schedule, planning out everything before she tries to make a move, needing to know everything about him, as if the show hasn't been mocking her for these exact traits and allowing them to blow up in her face over and over again. But NOW it's due to her TRAUMA. So...retroactively when her friends laughed at her or slapped their foreheads in frustration or the show framed her failures as a joke...we know it's actually from a tragic place and can't laugh anymore.

I mean, I was never laughing, but you get what I mean. They framed it like it was part of the comedy and now they're pulling the rug out from under themselves. How are you supposed to laugh when Adrien brings Marinette constipation medicine, or when her pictures of him are blasted all over Paris Television, or the *ugh* Statue Scene plays out and now you know that this is just adding to her pre-existing trauma? They have shot the show's rewatch value.

I never thought Marinette needed a "reason" act the way she was because those were always just kinda The Things Teenage Girls Do when they have a crush. I've admitted in the past to learning my crush's class schedule just to orchestrate running into each other in the hallways more often, and if their crush had public interviews and magazine pictures, I'm pretty sure most kids would also cut out their pictures to keep and would read and remember the interviews. I never really saw her behavior as that weird for a girl her age with a crush and recognize some cartoon exaggeration.

...Stealing his phone was a little weird, though, I'll give them that though Alya is the one who suggested it first...

SO, we enter a long flashback to One Year Ago (with Marinette now on her third Almost-Akumatization, good lord) and learn what life was like for Marinette pre-Origins, and oh boy. It's hell. She's making up illnesses to avoid school, avoiding all contact with anyone in the courtyard, having cockroaches put in her locker, having the Principal catch her "late" for class (after she had to clean herself up from a water prank), gets yelled at by the teacher for being late, sits in paint, mocked in class and then yelled at again by the teacher for pointing out the person mocking her probably planted it, and gets Saturday detention. All in one day. And when anyone tries to talk to her or even glares at the person responsible, they get threatened too.

The main reason this is hell is because Marinette is being let down by every single adult in her life. Sabine just laughs and tells Marinette that she only has a few weeks left with Chloe and it's not like she'll be in the same class as her next year.🙃 Well, why don't you make SURE she doesn't?! Maybe this is just an American vs French school thing, but where I come from, it's totally within your rights to request that your child not be put in the same class as someone else, they could at least put in a throw away line about her parents TRYING to move her, but Chloe's not allowing it JUST to keep Marinette close to her. And maybe take this a little more seriously, Sabine- your daughter is faking illness to avoid One. Girl. That should be concerning, not "lol my daughter is so silly for trying to get out of class."

Damocles finds Marinette and yells at her for being "constantly late" and praising the "anonymous notes" (signed by Chloe -_-) for always alerting him when she's behind, and then later gives her Saturday detention for...someone clearly planting paint on her desk chair? He sees a victim of bullying and punishes her for it. At the end of the episode he even suspends Socqueline for something that happened outside of school, yet in "Jubilation" she's pumping him up as The Best Principal?! Does this show thinks we're stupid or something?!

Mendeleiev also yells at Marinette for being late. She allows Chloe to make fun of Marinette for looking depressed when she comes in and allows Chloe to mock Marinette for sitting in paint, but when Marinette doesn't even stand up for herself but just accuses Chloe of putting the paint there, THEN Mendeleiev has something to say, and it's to Marinette? For "groundlessly" accusing the only person in the room laughing at Marinette, the one who was just making fun of her, the one who kept her eyes on Marinette so she could watch her sit in the paint?

Marinette tells Socqueline that all the adults are scared of Chloe, but that's not what I saw. Sure, at the end of the episode Damocles is afraid when Chloe pulls a "Lady Wifi" to force him to punish Socqueline for smashing Sabrina's phone, but the sequence of events played out more like the adults participating in the bullying. It wasn't like Damocles was sympathetic to Marinette and then Chloe cleared her throat, so he straightened up nervously and started berating Marinette. It wasn't like Marinette accused Chloe and then Chloe glared at Mendeleiev, forcing her to finally intervene. All the adults see what's going on and are either completely oblivious or don't care.

Also, Chloe totally unprompted says this:

GET A LIFE, what is your PROBLEM?! Like, why have a flashback episode and not have it explain what Chloe's fixation on Marinette even is?! It doesn't have to be big or anything! Like, have Marinette trip and spill something on Chloe in art class! Just do something!

And like, I totally get that irl bullies just choose their targets for no real reason and this is just another example of that, but to this level?! Just...get a hobby!

And then there's the big thing they did in this stupid episode. The unforgivable. The reprehensible.

This fucking guy.

It's been so long since we've seen Bully Kim that I was pretty sure he was left behind entirely on the draft floor. Sure, Kim is still capable of being insensitive or not thinking long-term, but he was a good kid. He roots for his friends and wants everyone to have a good time.

Hell, I could even buy that Kim was dumb enough to believe Chloe when she claims what he did was a funny practical joke that they'd all laugh about later...until Socqueline came up and yelled at him that he should be ashamed of himself.

And Ondine yelled at him in the present that he should be ashamed of himself.

And it's a year later and he should have realized by now that he should be ashamed of himself.

Kim is dumb, that's just a fact, but the way he doubles down and is so sure of himself that NO it's everyone ELSE who has a problem because they can't take a JOKE? Like...why?! Why did they co-sign on this character assassination?!

Just make him become akumatized because he's A S H A M E D of what he did now that he's finally sitting down and thinking about it a year later! He can keep the same look and motif, just have Monarch stroke the part of him that doesn't want him to be the jerk, the old Kim! It's totally normal, especially for a kid, to want to believe that they're not the bad guy even with all the evidence pointing to it, so I could even see the akuma being exactly the same.

But naur, it's KIM who talks like a right-wing podcast douche bag, complaining that you can't just speak your mind these days and everyone needs to get a sense of humor, they just don't GET it man, this is just how he IS brah, take it or leave it! His akuma's even named "Dark Humor", like edgy losers on reddit who make racist/sexist jokes and then get mad when he's downvoted and boo'd out of a forum. God, we just CAN'T TAKE A JOKE I guess.

I'm glad this is resolved by Ladybug gluing a toilet to his head.

I just...I feel like this could've worked in Season 1, or Season 2. Like...put it before Dark Cupid or before Syren or something. That way, Kim being a total douche is the starting point of his character arc, not the Season 5 Post-Hero Run point, ugh.

It'd also make this stupid line make more sense:

I'm sorry, the girl who got you akumatized after she humiliated you in nearly the same way you humiliated Marinette? I guess that was "just a prank bro" too, right?

Establish Marinette's problems with romance early, so she can overcome them or at least give them the proper context. It'd at least make the show look better if they hadn't made fun of her for 4 Seasons only to drop this bombshell on us at the end. You know...the thing that they just did.

This episode just isn't fun. I hated "Illusion" because all you get to see is the bad guys winning and outsmarting the heroes, but "Derision" is a marathon of seeing the absolute misery Marinette was put through, just to jump forward to the present to destroy a character that I really liked.

Would a kid even like this episode?

saw you mention panic disorder sirius 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ tell me everything please

Hello again!

I think I only reblogged a post by @plecotusauritus but of course I will yap, because the Bat is very correct!!

Sooooo! I think the origin of aforementioned panic disorder is undebateable. A little bit of parenting by the noble and most ancient house of Black will do that to you 🙃

He would, however, for the longest time not know he has one. He would be absolutely convinced that this is just how it is for everyone! Everyone has nightmares on the regular from which the wake up crying and sweating! Everyone dissociates and shuts down when they go through something uncomfortable! Everyone occasionally feels like their chest is constricted by an unwavering force and yet threatening to burst from the pressure on the inside! Like, that's so normal! Nothing to worry about at all. He is FINE, okay?!

Well, he is fine until one day he isn't. Sometime in his mid to late twenties, he has a panic attack so badly that he can't play it down anymore. He completely shuts down, full on hyperventilating and James thinks he is going to die - and to be honest, Sirius thinks so too! Everything is numb, and that is normal but he feels like he will loose his mind this time for real. And that terrifies him.

James makes him go to an inpatient program - Sirius absolutely does not want to but he also cannot say no when James starts crying because he is so worried about him - and he has to deal with the very annoying questions of a therapist that is determined to uncover all his underlying issues.

Well, they're in for a real challenge 😊😊

(He gets better ❤️)

Thank you for this ask!!💜

Known for being somewhat reckless and a little bit of an adrenaline junkie, Io's flight techniques tend to push the boundaries of recommended protocol. A generation two clone, he acts like an older brother to the younger crew members and isn't afraid to tease them relentlessly, sometimes threatening to input a request for them to be transferred to a different battalion for being annoying.

Despite his more laid-back approach, he still respects authority, particularly his superior Commander Cody.

No. 2: Tabs; He/Him

Considered by many to be an absolute ray of sunshine, Tabs is a medic for the 212th. Despite being one of the younger members of the group, he still demonstrates and incredible level of skill, partially down to his strong sense of protectiveness over his brothers, including his batchmate, Tinker.

He may seem soft and squishy on the outside, but he has an iron will. In stressful situations, Tabs can easily snap into focus mode, taking the lead when necessary and helping others navigate difficult times. He's considered by many to be one of the more well-behaved members of the crew, but he isn't afraid to have a little fun now and again.

(And yes, the hair is bleached).

No. 3: Tinker; They/Them

Tabs' batchmate, and the younger of the two, Tinker is one the 212th's best mechanics. They tend to be a little more reckless than Tabs, but still hold the same strong level of protectiveness over their crew.

Tinker isn't afraid to get their hands dirty and will throw themselves into every situation no matter how messy. They also tend to resort to humour to defuse stressful moments, usually making themselves or their brothers the butt of the jokes. They'd follow their brothers to the ends of the Earth (so long as those ends aren't in the offices of the superiors. At that point, they're on their own).

No. 4: Dixon; He/Him

A little more stoic than some of the other clones, Dixon is more tactical in his approaches, choosing his methods carefully rather than throwing himself straight into the inferno. As an ARC and first generation clone, he acts as an older brother to the others and tries to keep them in line as best as he can (though normally with a bit of humour and leniency).

While he may not be familiar with the younger clones in the 212th, nor most of the Batch, he does know Echo, having been one of the ones to mentor him (and Fives) during ARC training. He commands a great deal of respect but knows that that comes as a response to the respect he shows for others. Dixon may be a skilled close-combat fighter, but it's his strategic skills that make him a man you don't want to mess with.

Links to picrew and other general ramblings below 👇

I had an idea for something the other day and was like "I have to right this down" but it didn't quite go the way that I was expecting. Not that I hate it (though it maybe needs some tweaking), more that the original plan was for it to be one of my usual standalone one-shot things. HOWEVER, the damn thing doesn't actually make sense by itself and is effectively the middle chapter of a fic. 🙃

THE ISSUE WITH THIS IS THAT I DIDN'T PLAN FOR THINGS TO GO EITHER SIDE OF IT!

So now whether or not I ever publish this thing will be entirely down to whether I can actually think of a plot line for the rest of it. I've had a couple of ideas here and there (including these OCs who, funnily enough, don't even get a mention in the thing I wrote lol) but in terms of becoming an actual thing? Who knows? 😀

Anyway, here's the picrew I used :)

Hi! Thou Shalt Not Covet got me craving for more and thinking... what do you think is the difference between Ga On and Yo Han's jealousy? When would they feel most threatened? Also, how far do you think they would go in terms of their possessiveness?

Would love to read more about that 🙃

Hi there 💜

I think the biggest difference is that Ga On's jealousy is more internal while Yo Han's is more external. Like, Ga On becomes introspective, picks everything apart, and overthinks things, trying to figure out why this is happening and, not so surprisingly, what he did wrong to make it happen. Because even if Ga On would be angry and probably pretty vicious, he'd still focus a lot on his own "blame" and start wondering why he's not good enough. All those abandonment issues would kick in and he'd come up with a number of theories and what he thinks are answers — but they're all just speculations.

And, because of that, I don't think Ga On would really lash out against Yo Han and whoever's making him feel jealous. Or, well, with words and such, sure — and clearly mark the boundaries if he and Yo Han are a couple and someone is encroaching on his territory — but not by causing physical harm. Ga On's jealousy is more bark than bite, basically. Because somewhere deep down he'd be convinced he's just not good enough and that's not a reason to hurt someone else over. It's Ga On's own fault for not being lovable enough, right?

So while he'd get snappish and rude, he'd never act on it in a threatening or malicious way.

Yo Han, on the other hand — oh boy.

I did answer an ask about how Yo Han would react if he ever had a reason to suspect that Ga On was cheating on him and all of that still stands. I think Yo Han would focus all his ire outwards, the jealousy becoming a weapon to hurt others rather than himself (as opposed to Ga On who internalises it all and ends up hurting himself rather than others). That's not to say that Yo Han wouldn't have some angsty moments where he bemoans the fact that he's a monster and, clearly, no one can love him, but those aren't his main focus.

His main focus would be making life difficult for Ga On and whoever's making Yo Han jealous. And as for whether or not Yo Han would go far enough to kill? Uh, I mean... that depends on the situation? x'D

Ga On? Never.

(though Yo Han might just lock him away and throw away the key)

The other person? He'd be tempted.

But it would have to be an extreme situation, I think. Because killing someone he perceives as a romantic rival would, in some ways, be an admission of weakness. It would mean that Ga On has an incredible amount of power over Yo Han and I don't think that he'd be willing to admit that Ga On's choices can influence Yo Han's decisions to that degree. Especially if he thinks that Ga On has betrayed him by falling in love with someone else. That would mean that Yo Han has to admit to himself that he's pining after someone who's not his — which would hurt his pride something terrible.

So, in the long run, while Yo Han is certainly capable of murdering someone he considers a romantic rival, I don't think he would. Because it's beneath him. He's not that interested or invested in Ga On.

(except yes he is — he's just a grumpy old man who refuses to admit it to himself)

As for when they'd feel most threatened, I think it would be before they get together or just shortly after they get together. Once they've been a couple for years and settled down, I don't think jealousy is going to be much of an issue for them. Because they'll both know that there's no way in hell either of them is stupid enough to throw away what they have, given how well-matched they are. They know there's no one else who can give them exactly what they need.

And, like, if they have kids? Fuck no.

Both Ga On and Yo Han would go: "No, he loves the kids and me too much to cheat" and that's that. I mean, sure, there might still be brief moments when they have to get a little possessive when a third party is being too flirty, but neither of them would actually think that the other is going to respond to that flirting and start straying.

(partly because I suspect that they have an unspoken agreement of: "if you do cheat on me I'll take the kids and spend the rest of my days making your life a living hell" but that sounds a lot less romantic)

But at the beginning? Or just after they get together? There would definitely be more to worry about.

And their weak spots are connected to their overall insecurities. So Ga On would be afraid that he's not good enough, not lovable enough, not smart enough, not experienced enough etc. He's not very glamorous or suave and pretty shy and clumsy about sex at first. He'd worry that he can't give Yo Han what he needs and that he'll eventually become a burden or that Yo Han will grow bored of him. He'd feel clingy and desperate and wonder if, just maybe, Yo Han wants someone more like himself — someone calm, rational, and mature. So just the usual abandonment and self-esteem issues cranked up to a toasty fifteen, basically.

Yo Han, meanwhile, would feel threatened at the thought of not being able to give Ga On the life and love he deserves. Yo Han is nothing if not self-aware and he knows that living with him is difficult, so he'd worry that someone might come along and show Ga On that he can find a better, sweeter, and kinder life elsewhere. Yo Han would worry that he's hurting Ga On by holding on to him and that, maybe, Ga On will realise that too someday and choose someone better. Someone who can love him and support him and care for him in a way that Yo Han can't with all his jagged edges. That was probably why he felt so threatened by Soo Hyun — she could give Ga On a life full of love and light and softness, whereas Yo Han can only offer darkness. And Ga On deserves better.

Again, it all depends a bit on the situation, though. Like, different insecurities rise to the forefront depending on where they are in their relationship and what the exact situation is.

But something like that, I guess?

I admit I've debated whether or not to write a fic based on that ask about Yo Han being jealous but goddamn it would hurt so maybe not x'D I don't like hurting myself (or Ga On) like that.

I've also toyed with the idea of writing Yo Han's POV of Thou Shalt Not Covet partly because I think it's hilarious just how confused he was there for a second. But that also means I'd have to write out Yo Han's thoughts and not all of them were pretty or kind. He's not a nice man — even less so when Ga On gives him such a perfect opening for some manipulation that will result in Ga On staying by his side >_>

So we'll see. It's not very high on my list of priorities right now since I have so many other projects I want to focus on.

Thank you so much for the ask! Please take care 💜

(This is a very long post, i hope you find it inspirational as I'm basically pouring my heart out.)

think it's best to try and move on from this, to let the healing process begin. The Deviantart Team seems to have dealt with that stalker, with any luck he won't be back. I can't say that for certain, of course. But we can't just dwell on what the stalker did, either. Yes, what he did was genuinely awful and upsetting, but he's already been dealt with. If he tries any of that crap again, just get Team Deviantart on him again.

I'm not trying to downplay his actions; again, what he did was genuinely awful, but there's no reason to keep dwelling on the stalker now that he's been taken care of. It's not like he's still spamming comments now that they're disabled for the time being, and I haven't seen anything from him on your Deviantart page, thankfully, so Team Deviantart must've given him an IP ban or something.

Now, I could be wrong about this; he could still be out there. But I'm gonna remain optimistic and hopeful, that someday, this stalker will be stopped for good, if he hasn't been already. Because if we keep obsessing and dwelling over this, we're just gonna be miserable all of the time.

For now, the heat's off. But if he returns, just stand your ground. Don't let him know you're frightened, don't let him control you. Just remain calm.

And keep marching on.

-Nick (CheeseyLeaves)

Ha ha thx for the kind words!!! But I wasn't frightened honestly! just annoyed. Like, the stalker's just a pathetic toddler who threw a tantrum because I wouldn't give him attention. LIKE, OFC I'm not going to talk to him or anyone associated with him, he's a creepy weirdo who has threatened me on multiple occasions!

"Boo hoo I miss you and want to play Minecraft with you again, why wont you talk to me, I CHANGED boo hoo"

"Bro you literally groomed me, threatened to have me removed from my college, threatened to drain my bank account, threatened to send elicit materials to my parents house AND MORE, No I'm not going to talk to you lol"

Such a weird, deranged individual. An insecure, pathetic lunatic, even.🙃 Very odd how a grown man pushing 30/in his 30's acts like he's 3 years old. Bro tried to make me upset but all he did was scar a bunch of other people. The only thing I was ever upset about in this situation is that children saw the gore and NSFW he posted. It is over now tho, and no more of that material is on my page except for some spam comments, so I'm fine. Honestly have just been chilling till he comes back again and answering questions people have about the situation here. Because like... obviously people are worried about me ^^;;; Don't worry, I'm ok!!

THANK ALL OF YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THIS SITUATION!!!

Also, as a side note... Yes this stalker is why I hate Flareons.

[hiskillingjar]

YOU’RE PREGNANT!?!??!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!

That sucks donkey dicks but I hope you’re okay!!!!!!!

First time actually sending you anything through asks and I came here with a headcannon about our beloved dilf ren

That man def has bpd

Even when he was a captive, but when he was a captive he didn’t give a shit about it or tried to be better (he still doesn’t) because if I’m honest, is it REALLY possible to get better in that godforsaken house?

No, not really

DUDE I READ YOUR FIC ABOUT HIM AND IT LEFT ME IN SHAMBLES

I legit started SHAKING BECAUSE YOUR WORDING IS SO FUCKING GOOD I FELT LIKE I WAS THERE SIGNING AN ACTUAL CONTRACT DUDE 😭

But another headcannon I have from that is I feel like if MC got the upper hand a bit after staying with him for say a little over three years- maybe a bit of gun threatening right against his temple in order for him to actually listen to what the fuck you’re saying, after you cry your soul out that he didn’t deserve what he went through and you didn’t deserve what YOU went through, your relationship with him would still be unhealthy, but he’d view you as a partner he so craved for ever since he was in his twenties.

Sorry I’m rambling I don’t wanna make this long BUT

I’ve been kinda writing a half assed fic just to warm up and one of my lines was something along the lines of “I don’t blame you for taking me apart, because you were taught to associate pain with love and I don’t blame you, I really don’t. But I was taught to love, so please.”

“Let me love you.”

haha thank you, im okay, just super sick and really tired all the time 🙃 be really nice to any pregnant person you know, okay, they're goin thru it

and thank you for enjoying my fic! i totally agree with the ren having bpd headcanon too, his instant hyperfixations and then light-switch splits on MC are proof enough that there's something there. maybe i'll try to explore it in the future when im not feeling so awfulllll lol

[harukamitsuki]

(This is a stupid idea, but please bare with me 🙏) How do you think it would've effected the plot if Izuku Midoriya had been born with a combination of a Healing and Shield Generation Quirk? You think Katsuki Bakugo would've felt threatened by him and his treatment would be more worse (unless others stepped in to help him realize his behavior is not healthy at all)? Let's say in this scenario, Inko Midoriya has a healing Quirk (I can imagine her being a doctor in turn as a result) whilst his father has a Shield Generation (akin to force fields) like Quirk instead of their canonical Quirks. I know this is already changing a lot of things, but their Quirks are rather lackluster in the canon series. One major issue is that of Dr. Tsubasa (i.e., Kyudai Garaki) would realistically have stolen his and his parents' Quirks, but let's just say that that the Midoriya family instead of living in Japan, lived in the USA and thereby were away from him, OFA or their associates (unless we're counting OFA also having associates in the USA 🙃) As a result, Izuku would as a result, probably not be childhood friends with Katsuki as a result (but perhaps he has heard of him through his mother being friends with Mitsuki). So Katsuki would probably be a bit worse (in the beginning at least?), unless a different Quirkless individual took Izuku's place??? (I know at that point, they're just becoming OCS and really OOC compared to their canonical counterparts, but these ideas are just for fun and for a fanfiction rewrite, it won't affect the main series at all) (Also tempted to change Hisashi Midoriya's name in my BNHA rewrite since I get confused a lot between his name and Hizashi Yamada/Present Mic, ngl) Sorry for this long rambling and if the ideas sound stupid, lol.

It would change the plot a lot.

Izuku having a quirk as powerful as that would probably mean All Might wouldn't offer him OfA. And, yes, that quirk is powerful, and I've already started analysing it and how it could coexist despite being wildly differing.

Instead of Izuku focusing on strength and combat, I would imagine him to focus on protecting and healing people, maybe even becoming a support hero rather than an action one.

Also, it's heavily implied that the reason Izuku started analysing quirks in canon was because he himself didn't have one. He was quirkless, so thinking about the quirks he could have had was inevitable. By being born with a quirk, unless he has a reason to, he wouldn't really analyse quirks as he does in canon.

Changing Inko and Hisashi's quirks is fine, as they don't impact canon anyway. Inko could have had the fire breathing quirk, and nothing would change - so it's perfectly fine to change it. Hell, in my rewrite, I'm changing quirks too, with the analysis stuff.

With Izuku in the US, I honestly believe Bakugou would somehow be tamer. Without Izuku, someone he percieved as the weakest of the lot, reaching out to help him, he wouldn't feel incredibly challenged in his ego. He would still be a bully, but I doubt he'd go after someone as intensely as he did to Izuku.

(He'd still be a bully because he was shown to bully others.)

I doubt Izuku would have heard about Bakugou, however. Mitsuki and Inko being close friends is fanon - they barely if ever interact in canon, the fandom decided they were close because Izuku and Bakugou used to be friends when they were four.

Finally, let me just shed some light:

All fanfiction is OOC. Because you are not the author. You are putting these characters in non-canon scenarios, and those reactions will never be confirmed as canon, (unless the author makes the exact same story arc and it's basically a copy).

Plus, characters are the way they are due to their backstories. If you change their backstories, of course they're going to be different. Some of my favourite fics, and really popular fics, change the characters' personality.

For example, in 'Why Are We Here Again?' everyone is OOC, because their backstories are different. But nobody complains about it, because it's still a good story with strong messages, themes, and writing.

I hate complaints about characters being OOC, because authors aren't trying to be canon compliant 90% of the time.

You're fine. Don't worry about being OOC, because it's always going to be OOC, even if you can picture those canon character doing it exactly. Because it's not canon.

Anyway, this sounds genuinely interesting - keep at it!

☆ . . . MAKNAE LiNE!

 ❛ KIM SUNOO ❜  ꜝꜞ

CONTACT NAME. sunny ☀️  ( his : moonie 🌙 )

SHIP NAME. sunoo + sage = sun-sage / sa-noo

RELATIONSHIP. these two are best friends to the very end. their energies matched on i-land and they've been close since then. sunoo's bright personality and sassy demeanor brought sage in and she's been stuck since. sunoo also looks up to teagan in a way that makes him aspire to be better and train harder. these two love to relax and know when to have fun & when to work.

there are so many compilations on youtube that enlights have made of sunoo and sage being the sassy duo they are

Sage and Sunoo were the duo on i-land that constantly side-eyed everything. they were the two that were talking shit funnily enough.

when someone messes up a song vocally? they both looked around the room to see if anyone else noticed, and they ended up locking eyes.  

 these two are also the two who are known for their skinship. they can be seen laying next to each other on the couch and or with sage draped over sunoo's legs or something

sunoo is like sage's best friend and closest confidant

also! because of this only calls sage noona in front of others, because otherwise sage prefers that he doesn't. she just feel like they're close enough to drop the niceties.

sunoo is like sage's younger brother and it's very clear

sage loves to tease him about being a student council member when he was younger, joking that he used to be an “unpaid snitch”.

sunoo is sage's social media manager following her & the group’s public instagram release

he's often seen taking pics of her in bts footage

sunsage aegyo bombs will destroy your heart-

they're so cute together like pls

sunoo can also be seen in sage's vlogs when she's writing music and he'll be on the piano playing the music while she hashes out the lyrics

there was a moment where sage's mom called during a live and sage had stepped out to go the bathroom and sunoo answered the phone and had a whole 20-30 minute convo with her mom until she came back

sage gave sunoo the english names sam/samuel and spencer. it's not his official one, but the members use it affectionately in jokes.

these two are the ones to go to if you have a day off. like fans might see them out in the city visiting popular restaurants and going to spas and posting lots of photos of their adventures together.

sunoo's first thought when sage entered i-land was that she had a strong presence

sage though sunoo looked adorable, and when he did his performance she recognized his talent and potential for growth as an artist.

 ❛ YANG JUNGWON ❜  ꜝꜞ

CONTACT NAME. leader-nim 😔 ( his : problem child #2 🙃 )

SHIP NAME. jungwon + sage = sage-won

RELATIONSHIP. During I-land Sage was very off-putting, at least visually, and a lot of the guys were scared to approach her. But, Jungwon being his bubbly self came up to her and introduced himself and the two slowly got closer. But if you ask sage, after his introduction she was hooked. The definition of the, “If anyone hurts Jungwon, i’ll kill everyone in here and then myself”.

like i said a little in the hyung line post, sage helps jungwon feel like a kid again post debut

because with him being a maknae and the leader he doesn’t get to act like a maknae a lot and he’s usually unnecessarily stressed

so sage likes to take him out a lot and let him buy things he likes at least once every two weeks, she tried once a week but Jungwon threatened to lock himself in the studio if she didn’t stop buying him things T-T

but regardless— sage LOVES this boy so much, omg.

older sister & younger brother type of dynamic as well as a being the two who share a brain cell a majority of the time

even though Sage is older, she does see him as a leader and respects him as one. 

speaking of leader things, Sage helps him with his leadership responsibilities when she sees that he's overwhelmed with them.

you would think she’d be the only member jungwon is not savage with, but being as one would with their siblings. nothing is off limits with them. 

helps him with school as she does with ni-ki. 

she's jungwon's personal therapist && assistant. she is always there when he needs to rant or just wants to speak with someone without being judged. she’s the member most of them go to for advice or guidance.

these two together = a headache for the rest of enhypen.

when they decide to team up and roast the other members ( + pranks ft. Niki && Jake ) the whole dorm suffers for weeks.

their favorite activities to do together are record dance vlogs, jungwon teaching her some taekwondo, her teaching him some ballet moves and such, etc .....

the contact name is pretty self explanatory, but sage really likes to mess with the boy and he's always ready to bully her right back

 ❛ NISHIMURA RIKI ❜  ꜝꜞ

CONTACT NAME. RIKI 🕺( his : TIKI 💥 )

SHIP NAME. sage + niki = sa-ki 

RELATIONSHIP. during i-land, sage was one of the few who could speak japanese so she decided to help him feel more at ease. these two share a love of dance and a desire to live their idol dreams. niki makes sage feel like she’s just back home with a friend, and he grounds her in a way the others can’t.

sage was one of the few who could speak japanese so, with her whole motto of “do no harm, take no shit” and seeing ni-ki’s skill in dancing and general potential she decided to help him out and make him feel more at ease

she was the one who approached him so he was surprised. especially, because at that point she hadn’t been too friendly with anyone yet.

current time—  teagan doesn't baby him, even if she sees him as her little brother.

she knows he just wants to be respected for his skill and prove he deserves to be where he is ( which he has and continues to do, but sometimes he just needs more reassurance ) and sometimes the teasing can make him question

so she’s become very aware of how he reacts and telling when he’s in the mood for jokes or not

sage affectionately called him "tiki taki" and that kinda started the joke/nicknames between them and the meaning behind their contact names

dance vlogs / practice vlogs on sage's account

ni-ki is the only one from the maknae line who gets away with calling sage noona ( w/ the exception of jungwon but he doesn’t really “get away with it” )

the two of them like to watch japanese movies/shows together, practicing together, pranks!!, playing soccer, playing video games, working out together, etc....

though sage is not super big on working out, as much as she used to anyhow, she does like to do some exercise with ni-ki ( + Heesung & Jake ).

sage teaching niki jazz and ballet style dancing.

sage had also forced niki to teach her how to write with her left hand and now she knows how to write with her left hand as well

niki convincing sage to eat sushi for the first time ever

their height difference shift has been insane. on i-land it wasn't too bad, but following their debut it only got worse.

even though the girl now looks up to niki ( literally ) she still doesn't let that intimidate her. many of the boys joke that one day they're gonna see sage kicking niki in the shins just so they'll be eye level.

they like to go to the arcade on free days ( and the rest of the maknae line usually tags along but they usually group off ).

[kenobster]

Okay, so I have watched six out of seven episodes of The Acolyte, and I like it just fine — but that is a story for another day.

However, it is true that I have NOT watched the final episode, which apparently detonated tumblr dot com 🙃 I have seen so many discourse posts, and each is more confusing than the last. I'd like to say I involuntarily read spoilers, but I don't understand enough of wtf is going on to even understand the spoilers I'm reading. I don't know what could possibly have happened within a thirty (30) minute episode to have caused so much chaos. 🥶

Of course, my only option at this point, rather than simply watching it, has been to concoct a prediction of what happens in this episode. After a lot of concentration and thought, here is my current episode summary based on the massive amount of posts I have read on this subject:

It is revealed that, Vernestra, years ago, was secretly engaged in four serious, monogamous relationships at the same time. Her lovers were Sol, Torbin, Indara, and Kelnacca. Qimir, who was Sol's Padawan at the time, knew all about this. As such, he confides the truth in Osha while they're in hyperspace on the way to meet up with Sol. Right as Vernestra finds Sol and accuses him of falling to the dark side, Osha and Qimir show up. Osha accidentally mentions the Four Lovers History™. Sol is furious, and Vernestra tries unsuccessfully to excuse her unfaithful behavior. Unfortunately, during his time as Sol's Padawan, Qimir had also observed countless instances of Sol cheating on Vernestra with Jord. Back then, Qimir had threatened to go to Vernestra with this information, so Sol had stabbed him in the back and thrown him out of the Jedi Order. So, as Qimir listens to Sol and Vernestra's argument, Qimir finds Sol's fury to be totally inappropriate. He decides to "even the playing field" by telling Vernestra about Sol's secret affair. As a result, Vernestra becomes so upset that she murders Sol. Laughing, Qimir says, "Damnnn — you were really repressing a lot there, weren't you?" This absolutely enrages Vernestra, who immediately kills Qimir, too. As he is dying, Qimir looks up at her and says, "Don't worry.... I forgive you.... One of you was bound to snap eventually." Having been denied the satisfaction of her final murder, Vernestra instantly feels the horror of what she has done, and she kills herself. Osha, after witnessing this ordeal, decides that being a Jedi is Not for Her™. She takes Sol's kyber crystal, bleeds it (mostly because red is a badass color), and then goes off to find Mae, who has managed to escape the scathingly ridiculous nonsense of this scene.

No, I do not care about their ages or time or even continuity, but since when has a Disney show ever cared about that? Also, no, I will not be taking questions at this time.

[summercreolefanfictioner]

Hi! How would shuu and Carla reaction be to noticing their s/o is developing an eating disorder? Feel free to ignore😽

no need for trigger warnings since the title says it all

reacting to an s/o with eating disorder

SHUU

you have what now? 🫤🫤🫤

tbh despite learning latin and all other shenanigans, shuu still have difficulty processing the fact that you have an eating disorder

he is clueless af so he'll do some researching even tho he's not that responsible at all tho

and bcos he can't be bothered to study abt your disorder further, he'll do his own sweet way of recommending activities and stuff like sending you youtube links of licensed dietitians and all that stuff

he might not understand what you're going through but would still tell you to eat bcos your blood won't taste good (plus anemia)

"I can't have my prey dying bcos of an eating disorder"

pls have faith. he's just trying his best 🤷‍♀️

even advised you to stop succumbing to those shtty diet cultures and listen to what your body wants you to do

ah but if everything worsens, looks like he'll just have to swallow his pride and succumb to reiji (the latter throwing shade at him for being such an incompetent man)

CARLA

this old man will always think eating disorder = fever

like srsly he has not been informed abt things like depression, feminism, eating disorders, and other prevalent world issues that he has no idea of what he's dealing

but ofc he is the founder king so he would do anything in his power to ensure you're doing great despite your eternal struggle against eating disorder

like his pride could neveeeeeeeer

so he will always make sure to hire the best dietitians he could find, threatening to murder them if they don't get you back in shape

pls don't kill them they're just doing their job

he is awkward af bcos even tho he's a king, he still thinks he can't mention anything abt diet and your body shape or the taste of your blood so he goes to ask "are you... craving water?"

🙃🙃🙃

he checks on you every now and then even though you're doing okay. sometimes it's sweet but mostly it's annoying

[thefirsthogokage]

Oh fuck. And ONCE YET AGAIN, FUCK RYAN MURPHY

(link to article)

A WGA leadership memo notes the threatened litigation prompted showrunner Warren Leight to step back from captaining duties and also implored members: "Our foe in this fight is not other members, it is the AMPTP. If we turn on each other, the AMPTP wins."

I do remember John Rogers tweet that as a WGA board member, it wouldn't be right to comment on certain things at this time, so he hoped other members would do it. I can't remember the specifics, but I know Google doesn't pick up Twitter anymore, so, 🙃. I should have saved it. But I don't 100% remember the timing of it and it was vague enough it could have applied to a few things.

Anywho, it's perfectly fair - in my opinion - to turn on scabs like Ryan Murphy who feel they're above everything because they know that networks will keep hiring him.

The article has a lot of stuff in it about the lawsuit. But I just want to say, I remember seeing Warren's work on Twitter...

Leight, an outspoken New York-based WGA member, had been dubbed as the East Coast’s “Air Traffic Controller” for his efforts leading the so-called Rapid Response Team that directs striking writers to filming locations. Leight declined to comment for this story.

...he did a HELL of a job. It sucks that this is happening because he's work was definitely needed. Like, I might not like the guy, and he got himself into this position by tweeting what he did even though he was the co-chair of the Strike Rules Compliance Committee, there must have been some rules about this.

So one of the things that pisses me off here is that he should have known better, had to bench himself, and the strike may suffer because he's not doing what he was, and it's on him not keeping his fingers from typing things he knew shouldn't have. Things other people were already saying.

According to the memo, Leight has stepped back from his duties as co-chair of the Strike Rules Compliance Committee and as a captain.

Sources say the WGA’s letter followed a regularly scheduled strategy meeting with WGA East leadership, including Michael Winship, Lisa Takeuchi Cullen and Chris Kyle, and strike captains that turned contentious. “We were talking about themed pickets. Nobody discussed Warren and everyone was like, ‘When is someone going to talk about Ryan Murphy?’” says one East Coast strike captain. “People were pissed. We wanted an explanation and answer about why Warren lost his captain’s hat and what happened. He was our leader.”

🙃🙃🙃 He was doing SUCH AN amazing job. It really, really sucks that he stepped down. And he's partially to blame. I mean, who the fuck would have thought being a guy in his position as a Captain that it would be a good idea to go after giant bastard Ryan Murphy?

Again, this is just frustrating from both angles: Warren Leight pulling a dumb as a Captain, and the loss of Warren Leight as a strike captain.

Multiple sources tell THR that only four scripted TV series remain in production on the East Coast — with three of them produced by Murphy: American Horror Story, American Sports Story and the episodic anthology American Horror Stories (the fourth is Lionsgate/Starz’s Power Book 2: Ghost). In addition to being a member of the WGA West, Murphy is a producer and director and is permitted to continue working provided he is not rendering services performed by writers. Multiple sources say Murphy was spotted twice last week in New York crossing WGA picket lines. Sources close to Murphy say he has not been in New York for the past month.

Those last two statements contradict each other, but I would take anything from Murphy's circle with a huge, huge, grain of salt. Still wish people took pictures. Writers crossing the picket lines need to be named and shamed.

“He is following the letter of the law and going to set as a producer/showrunner/director and says he’s not doing writing — and no guild can convict somebody of conjecture,” says another East Coast captain. “A million of us would love to see it, but there’s no proof that he’s scabbing; he’s doing scripts that were done before strike started.”

Bullshit. No way even "The Great Ryan Murphy" can predict all the problems that would come up beforehand and have everything written out. No fucking way.

The WGA, meanwhile, said in its memo that we will “continue to picket [Murphy’s] shows,” and that the Strike Rules Compliance Committee will investigate all leads concerning potential violations. (If Murphy is found in violation of the strike rules, he can be suspended or expelled from membership, hit with monetary fines or censured. After the 2007-08 writers strike, the WGA brought members alleged to have violated strike rules before a trial committee, as in the case of Jay Leno, who was cleared of wrongdoing).

HE BETTER BE FUCKING EXPELLED!

The internal squabbling comes as news leaked June 20 that Murphy, one of the industry’s most powerful showrunners, has been negotiating with Disney to return to the studio with a rich overall deal after his $300 million Netflix pact expired. In the memo to captains, the WGA officers implored them to stay focused on the fight at hand, noting, “Our foe in this fight is not other members, it is the AMPTP. If we turn on each other, the AMPTP wins.”

How is this not expulsion worthy? HOW?! Your foe is ALSO PEOPLE WILLINGLY PULLING THIS BULLSHIT!

From the letter:

Losing Warren as a strike captain is the last thing any of us wanted, but he understood that his actions on this particular issue exposed the Guild to potential liability, especially as co-chair of the very committee investigating Murphy. His tweet was also in direct contradiction with instructions he had received multiple times from WGAE and WGAW leadership and staff about his use of social media.

LIKE I SAID, WARREN WAS A GODDAMN DUMBASS!

• We will not quit on Ryan Murphy. We continue to picket his shows, and the Strike Rules Compliance Committee continues to investigate all leads. Send. Us. Leads.

This kind of sounds like they're looking for any and all reason to give that son of a bitch Murphy the boot. I hope they find it.

Fuck Ryan Murphy!

No way someone hasn't had to make at least one edit this far into strike with THREE shows in production. No way. Someone has to have proof.

Fuck Ryan Murphy, his ass needs to kicked from the Guild.
