#its hating on 2.0 hours here

[bensonnstabler]

can we talk about how homophobic it was to have david haden literally say "I'm not going anywhere, okay"? as the hook line and sinker to get benson into bed. like the audacity and eagerness of early 2.0 to paint elliot as merely a bad ex-boyfriend sends me. and also whilst i'm here fuck WL for being hell bent on putting his main female character through literal psychosexual hell just to pervert and promote the idea that she doesn't need elliot a man

[mazzystar24]

I totally get I just finished my exam week (I had to do a math test at 8am Sat😭). Wish you luck tho!

Also do you have any good buddies fics? Destiel too?

Math test at 8am is BRUTAL

Thank you I will definitely need it😭😭

Unfortunately I only have buddie fics to offer😔:

(Warning I do like a fair amount of angst)

Right where you left me - by hyacinthusbloom ( @thebloomingheather on here) - when I say I might be as big a fan of this fic as I am of the show I MEAN IT, you do not even understand how much I love this fic or how obsessed I am with it, I have reread it so many times despite it still being in progress that I think I may genuinely qualify it as addictive, me and @estheticpotaeto legit wait for updates like a dog at the author’s door istg, like everything about this fic is flawless and written with so much love and emotion and the way the writer captures the effects of trauma is just amazing because it’s so rare to find this level of diving into ptsd and the more uncomfortable aspects of it that are more taboo or less understandable to people, like I can yap for an hour about this fic but I’ll just say READ IT

Any fic by daisies_and_briars ( @cal-daisies-and-briars on here) but one of my favourites of his is Both blade and branch and muscle memory and four can keep a secret and appetency and the two she’s writing right now (change the prophecy and steal my sunshine) -wow at that point I should’ve left it as any fic because that’s a lot of favourites😭😭

Any fic by @loserdiaz plus with them you get enough lighthearted fics to even out the angst

Ooo I’m not sure what their username on here is but lizzybizzyzz is also another writer who I just love their fics

Fractals by hobbitprincess - one of those fics that make you squeak at how much love these fictional characters have for each other

Beneath my mother tongue by archerincombat - the angst the writing the way they hit every single emotional beat? Amazing

Anything by this_is_moony_lovegood

Leave the light on (I’ll be coming home) by HMSLusitania - the presumed dead Eddie fic of your dreams, a constant reread for me it’s just 👌

Anchored by adorkable_buddie - sorry Chris you gotta be injured sometimes just for us to get our buddie dreams hope you understand and we appreciate your sacrifice 😔🫶

empty, broken, lonely, hoping by daniweb - when I tell you I love the presumed dead trope you best believe I’m telling the truth because the ANGST?? Yes please, LISTEN it’s the closest you can get to the emotional beats of killing off a character without ever killing them off because you love them and happy endings too much so TIM MINEAR TAKE NOTES I KNOW YOU SAID YOU LOVE THEM TOO MUCH TO KILL THEM, anyways back to to the point this fic again is just flawless execution by the writer like absolutely love it

every time we stop talking (the universe starts screaming) by withmeornotatall - emotional destruction and I absolutely love it, divorce era 2.0 and it HITS

Home is where it hurts- by rileyblue2001 - can you tell I hate the Buckley parents because I HATE the Buckley parents

The one with the return of the sex addiction by buddiefication (pumpkincreamcoldbrew) - I’ve reccomended so much angst so have a funny little light hearted buddie fic with the father bobby vibes we all love❤️❤️

Okay back to the angst tho 😭😭- out of ashes by Ashavahishta - AHHHHHHH THIS FIC JUST AHHHHH STOP THE WAY I WOULD DIE FOR A FOLLOW UP FIC TO THIS AHHHH I LOVE IT SM AND ITS LEGIT A ONE SHOT I CRIED SO HARD

Falling Slowly; Sing Your Melody (I’ll Sing It Loud) by Princessfbi ( @princessfbi on here who I also love sm of their fics so highly suggest just going on their page and looking through all the fics) - absolutely love it, legit gave me brain rot and got me obsessed for a GOOD while

I'm comin' back, don't let me go by wikiangela ( @wikiangela on here also love love their fics again so check them out but this one is probably my favourite of theirs)

Okay this is looking more and more like a uni reading list so I’m gonna shut up now but I hope you enjoy these fics and that a few of them emotionally damage you like they did me because I love to spread the joy (see: pain and suffering) 🫶🫶

[polyamorouspunk]

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Was out with mountain boy last night and 1. I learned how to say ‘i love you’ in latin (te amo) and 2. Very much questioning the whole arospec thing because of this boy. Cause for the first time in my *life* the feelings have lasted more than 2 weeks. Its been 2 months. HOLY SHIT IVE BEEN DATING MOUNTAIN BOY FOR 2 MONTHS

But yeah. And also like. As of last night its like *new feeling unlocked* like I’ve had butterflies but I’ve never had butterflies to the degree that Im *still* having butterflies over something 24 HOURS later. And like. That could also just be from being in the middle of a flare that my emotions just are not regulating correctly but like. I feel like I just unlocked emotions 2.0. So maybe I am the actual rare case of ‘you just haven’t been with the right guy yet’ which is infuriating but also I *like* these feelings

But also on the whole chronic illness front - WE FUCKING HATE IT HERE and Im downing ibuprofen like its candy (that is a joke for those that need told). So if my brain could just stop having the 404 error causing both thinking and motor skill problems atm that would be great

Uuhhhhh OH! And therapy is now once a month instead of every other week so I guess thats a plus

Those are my life updates bro how are you?? I miss chatting with you I feel like I never have time to be on here anymore

*answers like a week later* whaaaat I always have time to chat haha 😅😅

Well I’m glad you feel that way! I know personally I can only feel that way with people I’ve met irl even if it’s just meeting them once. I love that feeling though, I’m always chasing that high.

It’s been two months 😭 where has the time gone

I love my best friend to pieces but hanging out with her and her husband was soooo. For someone who’s “autistic and touch-adverse” homegirl SURE did a 180 on that. Third wheel for a week straight 😐 I support her not conforming to social norms even when it’s embarrassed me in the past but like. Boundaries. When you are with someone else. I always made sure that I was never super PDA or hung up on my ex when we were dating because I never wanted to make someone feel like a third wheel and uh. Yeah that’s why.

I just started my meds back up, I’m back on Prozac after my hiatus from taking meds. It reached the point where I’m like “okay yeah maybe my meds were doing SOMETHING even if they weren’t WORKING exactly so MAYBE I should go back on them and be a LITTLE less crazy”. I intend on starting therapy back up. I have free therapy through work, probably Better Help, but it’s probably better than nothing. I already know my data’s on the dark web from all the times my bank account has been hacked so I don’t need to worry about them selling my personal info 😅

I was planning on graduating this semester but that’s not happening :) so next semester it is.

My mom wants to come back up next summer and my best friend and I have been trying to plan matching tattoos and we talked about getting them up there where I got them last time so maybe I’ll see you then! Sick New World already sold out so I guess that plan is a bust 😅

For the fic writing ask game! 13, 22, 38, 53, 66, 75!

Hello Soph <3<3 thank you sm !!

13- Do you listen to music while you write? If yes, what have you been listening to recently?

Nope, too distracting truly 🥲 no matter if it has words or not -- by brain stalls and I just end up either staring at the wall or singing :")

22- Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process?  How do you come up with titles?

Sometimes i do it before the story itself even exists (like ilyet and arranged heartbreak or the wips listed in my masterlist), sometimes in the middle (an epiphany moment in which my brain goes YOU KNOW WHAT---?).

Titles are usually based on the core of the story if the fic is rather long:

I love you in every timeline: inspired by DSMOM originally -- it's actually a wordplay on the entire story : it holds its essence entirely, playing on the identity of the two girls, the contrast of Sebastian's emotions and the way time affects the whole ordeal (how he himself has as well, directly on indirectly, affected both past, present and future). I have a very late scene written out already which explains pretty much everything, but I can't spoil it and I feel like a quivering leaf when i think about it (brain write faster pls i want to reach it soon --- but not so soon bc it's literally towards the end)

Arranged Heartbreak : pretty self-explanatory (i had thought the title to be lame at first and then I just... didn't care)

As for the other short fics, they're pretty simple titles tbh --- except for the list in my masterlist: I went all out and those don't even exist yet

38- What is your most self-indulgent posted story?

ILYET itself 🥲

She's my precious, my baby, my dearest love --- also, MC 2.0 herself is based on my OC (Lys Lovelace my dear) since I haven't written anything about her (appearance and stuff is still ambiguous as a true x reader story)

53- What is the most-used tag on your ao3?

I expected it to be something angsty : it's actually "fluff" :||

Just fluff

I'm a sappy idiot fr

66- What’s a fun fact about ILYET?

Edit: one fun fact no one probably knows about is that the whole fanfiction was actually born from a teen wolf edit that ended on my tiktok fyp... yeahhh... and it's a stydia scene, when Lydia walks up to the group asking "where have you guys been?" and Stiles turns around, completely struck. And then idk why my brain just decided to take that scene and just... make the whole thing up into what it is now...

75- Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn’t expect?

Pretty much all of them -- I've never really had any online presence before tumblr so I wasn't really expecting anything when I first started writing, really :"")

I remember when i posted the prologue of ilyet: it was late at night, (friday night, about 11:45 pm -- i remember it like it was yesterday) so I just posted it, went to sleep and expected nothing in return -- then I woke up to like 300 notes in barely a few hours and I literally jumped out of my skin🥲🥲 those were the good times

But fr -- I expected Loved like to flop bc I literally word vomited it at 4 am, posted it without even rereading it, and then woke up to ppl liking it fr (I still hate it, don't doubt, but still...)

Aaaand... yeah.

Ask game here <3

The Elephant in the Room

There is no way to sugarcoat this, because a lot of people have a visceral reaction to it: I'm working on a mixed-media project, and it is going to involve AI.

There are many complaints people have about AI, and I'm going to address some of them. If you want to stop reading now, I won't hold it against you, but I'd a) appreciate if you hear me out, and more importantly, b) implore you to give the new stuff a try before deciding it's not for you:

I think complaints about models being trained, without consent, in violation of copyright law, on people's photos, art, and words by for-profit companies are valid. I don't know how much of that, over the course of billions of data points in a training set, means I am "stealing" when I make a photo of a curvy gender-swapped Ronald McDonald. Granted, I'm not a lawyer, but that to me is parody and fair use.

Regarding copyright and whether generative AI is theft, lots of things on the Internet play loose with intellectual property rights. Memes? Reaction GIFs? Fan fiction? Songs in the background of your video? All legal gray areas. (If the rightsholders for Supernatural filed enough DMCA charges, they could take Tumblr down overnight.) My point is not to derisively say you are a hypocrite; I like these things too. It's that I don't see generative AI as being markedly different.

Environmental impact is important to me in real life. There are some alarmist numbers about power consumption and carbon impacts. I read (ok, skimmed) one of the studies and they used an 80 GB VRAM A100 SXM4, which is a 400W card and a tremendous amount of overkill for Stable Diffusion. I can do 4 draft images in about 15 seconds and 1 "finished" image in 30 on an RTX 3060. But I'm also not cranking those out without stoppping like a robot. It's much more reasonable to compare it with other leisure activities like PC gaming (its the same hardware), a PS5, or watching an HDTV. 1000 images (which for me, is A LOT - 3 or 4 hours) might use 0.05 kWh which puts me in line with watching a TV sitcom on my 50" 4k LED TV (which uses 87W in normal conditions).

People are overwhelmed because there is so much AI "art", and a lot of it is shitty. And I get ya. Many people are only using what they know and what they can find, which are online generators, and a lot of them suck. I don't want to sound like an ass, but I did spend a lot of time learning Stable Diffusion prompting and training, so I think my stuff will look better than people expect. (Or at least consistent, which is what I was aiming for.) What I hate though is people who post generated AI images and don't label them. So you get from me a promise to at least try to label all my images in tags, in the description, and in the alt description as AI (soft promise here because ADHD). Then you can block those tags to your hearts content.

I was already thinking about trying to use an AI writing tool, then I saw today that people are losing their shit about NaNoWriMo. So I am putting my thoughts about that in another post.

There you have it. Thanks if you made it this far. The goal here is not to convince you am I not just some AI techbro (I'm not) and that AI is not NFTs 2.0, but to give this project that I have worked (and am working!) so hard on a puncher's chance.

Today's Focus

02.06.24 - I am super pretty in pink today and frankly my morning is going better than a usual Monday 2.0 does so I'm counting my blessings. It's my mother's birthday so I'm going to give her a call when I take lunch today, but it's hit or miss if I'll get her because she's sick now the way I was in the beginning of the year.

Work - I have an efile to take care of, and a new case for JMK to enter into NYM and create a physical file for. Other than that, I know SJC will want me to tackle something related to WvP - a letter to a defendant I think. But it's pretty quiet here overall.

Background Noise - I start today with 119 on the Watch Later, no thanks to my trolling somebody's channel for certain drama updates. Since I'm still working my way through the accumulative five (5) hours of initial Mamamax drama, I'm alternating with a shorter video from the watch later every....15-20 min or so.

See and I only managed to get through like nine (9) videos yesterday so I need to step on the gas here or tomorrow is going to suck ass.

Study - Tuesday is article day and I have a list!

The Murder of Emmett Louis Till: The Spark That Started the Civil Rights Movement

Deep dives: climate policy, police misconduct, & the Horizon IT scandal

The Glass Report

When is a Book Not a Book? Oliver Twist in Context

'Good news' articles

Article on the "Beacon of Hate" - Unusual Clandestine 30m Beacon that broadcasts right-wing conspiracy things.

The Negro Problem

An appendix letter that went with one of my case law decisions

Black Women and the Constitution: Finding Our Place, Asserting Our Rights

I didn't do as much as I wanted case law wise yesterday, But I did manage to read:

Mississippi Madness: The Story of Emmett Till

A couple (2) of NYT articles on the trial of the Emmett Till killers

Eight (8) articles on climate policy

A couple (2) articles on police misconduct

Four (4) articles on the Horizon IT scandal

I started a couple of case law Wikipedia pages but didn't finish them

13 various other articles

Extras - I have no scheduled chores, and I'm back doing the routine proper so while I do have to switch dinner around I don't really have any responsibilities. This is by design - we have D&D again tonight and it starts at like 6p. That means I have to push off the homemade meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and mushroom gravy until like Thurs or Fri when I have more time to make it; in its place I'm moving up the Polish sausage & pierogi because that meal won't take more than an hr to make.

[dogaseducationblog]

let's get out of here... at least for a while

hi, tumblr's lovely people,

the day has come. the day that I finally leave you...

haha. you're too naive, I've tricked you. I'll be just taking a break because the first term of my second year has finally come to an end but don't worry, your sunshine, your reason to wake up, your source of energy will be here, better than ever, on the next semester. so this might be my final post for a while but it won't take too long.

so, yeah... I'll get emotional. we've been together for almost four months now and even if I had times that I wanted to kill myself just because I didn't want to write a post, this class was -don't tell this to my lecturer, I hate to admit it- kinda enjoyable and interesting. also, I really liked to have a voice to share my experiences and a personal space where only my opinions matter. until this term, I've never had to use technology this much for anything actually so creating all of those things was exciting, new, and in the most positive way, very challenging for me. not just learning about the web 2.0 tools but also creating our own works with those tools was so intriguing and beneficial. we’ve experienced that if you explore your own creativity and push its limits, there are many ways to integrate language learning with technology in a better way.

my favorite task to do among the ones we did was probably creating a podcast just because we had the chance to use the song "kingdom dance" from tangled the animation as our background music which was AWESOME. you already know we're geniuses but THIS. this was beyond genius. using that sound as a part of some of our projects was a dream of mine and Şevval's so it'll stay in my mind as one of the most fulfilling moments of my university life.

the least favorite one though was probably the one we made a padlet chart. there was nothing wrong or hard about that task actually but it was overall boring to do and since the topic of our padlet wall was bullying I was kinda buried in my past traumas. even your sunshine girlie has a depressive side, you know. I'm a Taylor Swift girlie, duh?

this class was very nice if we don't count the times that I wanted to cut my head off because I live in Gebze which means one hour ride to my school. we had a lot of choices in each assignment which was so nice. the freedom to choose what to do and to have interesting options made the lesson so much more interesting. so, it turns out I don't have anything negative to say about this class and it means I have to say goodbye for now. I know you'll miss me.

thank you for reading my confused ideas and being here for me. I'll miss you too.

as Woody the Cowboy said in Toy Story 3... so long, my partner. (you know it's not forever, I'm just making it dramatic)

virtual hugs.

until next time,

with love... and obviously education, Doğa.

[phynali]

when you point out a system error to a colleague (whose in charge of maintaining that system for your department) and they check the wrong place in the system and say "there's no error :)))"

so you send them screenshots and go "okay cool if that is the case, but this how it looks and here's the essential information that's missing and btw this error disadvantages you, system maintainer, quite personally."

and they don't look at your screenshots or engage with any of what you've said and instead just say "no problem glad to help!"

🤦🤦🤦🤦

"TWO thoroughly well-made shows"?.... 🤨 Come on now, Times. I hope this isn't a package deal situation, where if one is bad the other doesn't win, because Mayfair Witches was NOT it, everyone knows this. The acting and especially the writing were SWAMP WATER. Which makes no sense, since the book was ALREADY WRITTEN FOR YOU, Esta! She needs to be replaced or something, because NO. If MW wins something just so IWTV can get its flowers, then fine, but trust that it was under duress.

But Rolin Jones? GOATED. S1 of IWTV is everything Mayfair Witches wishes it could be. Just USE. The effing. SOURCE MATERIAL, Esta! You know why people praise the dialogue in IWTV? Cuz Rolin was literally using whole quotes from THE BOOK. And the actors have the chemistry and the charisma and the range to pull it off! (Half the time I didn't know WHAT Lasher & Rowan were saying.) Know why people praise the changes Rolin made to the characters? Because he ELEVATED both the plot and characters from THE BOOK; not using hamfisted performative wokeness for cheap diversity points, but actually CONTEXTUALIZING how characters of certain backgrounds actually fit into the WORLDBUILDING and narrative framework! Esta, did you even READ The Witching Hour????? (Didn't someone say Alexandra Daddario only watched AR's interviews about the book? 👀🤦 Meanwhile Sam Reid is out here giving doctoral dissertations on everything AR ever wrote, like WTF y'all.) Anne Rice is clearly a much better writer and storyteller than you, Esta, so make life easier for yourself by NOT trying to outdo her!

I'm not even interested in MW getting a second season; they've already screwed everything up by rushing the whole book while giving us NOTHING from it. Where the HELL is Julien Mayfair? Where are the Mayfairs in Haiti? WHO are the 13 Witches, Esta??!? She gave us NOTHING, but some stupid witch hunter sideplot when she hadn't even established WHY Lasher was evil! 🤦 Show, don't tell, Esta!!!!

Sure, Julien's not here, cuz Michael's not here as a "Curry" (this makes me wonder about Merrick Mayfair now too), Julien's victrola's been replaced by the voodoo doll, Mona's not here (so I can assume there's no Morrigan & Ashlar line of Taltos-Mayfairs, which WTF), and Lasher doesn't seem to be a learning ghost that Julien taught at all. But I bet Esta won't even use the Taltos, or the miscarriages and the extra chromosome, or Emaleth. Will we ever get Mona and Quinn, and Morrigan and Ashlar? Unlikely, since Esta wasted our time with Tessa. 🙄 So what is THE POINT then???

This isn't an Immortals UNIverse--it's a MULTIverse at best, cuz IWTV & MW certainly don't feel like they're in the same world AT ALL. We NEED to see Merrick Mayfair, but even Rolin said they're "mostly" looking at books 2, 3 and 6??? Which is WORRISOME, since Merrick is THE BEST way to cross the both series. And Blood Canticle is NOT the goal you should be gunning for, Esta, since it was AR's worst writing, too! 🤮 Just cuz you wanna see two pretty people kiss on screen does NOT mean it's worth keeping the bad acting from this dull flat dry twitchy awkward dumb Rowan around long enough to make a further embarrassment of herself--throwing herself at Lestat, when we all know Lestat turns Rowan down, refuses to make her a vampire, tells her to go back to her husband, and goes back to HIS OWN husband, Louis. 😜🤡

Is that why you got rid of Michael and gave us Ciprian, Esta? So you could have an excuse to pair Rowan and Lestat up without BOTH of them being sloppy cheaters? SAVE IT. No one's shipping Lestat with Rowan frikkin Mayfair, get serious. Lestat also said Rowan was needed by the Mayfairs as the designee--is that why Esta's been pushing this awful plot of these OOC Mayfairs now hating Rowan and ostracizing her, and creating the Jojo character who wants to lead them? So it can free up Rowan to run off as a vampire with Lestat--the Jeese Reeves 2.0 from the ridiculous QotD movie? 😨 I see you, Esta--KILL IT WITH FIRE, AMC!

Especially since the only reason Lestat was even involved with the Mayfair plot at all was one sidequest to help QUINN AND MONA find MORRIGAN, so unless AMC's gonna adapt Blackwood Farm next, there's no POINT making anything from Blood Canticle. And AR pretty much retconned everything that happened in Blood Canticle anyway, cuz everyone hated it! What makes YOU think you can do any better, ESTA!?

I love the Immortals Universe as a concept, cuz AR has SO MUCH good material one can use, to really give us the horror and gore and ghastliness of different immortal monsters. But I hate the MW project, cuz Esta isn't even using what she has.

Hopefully AMC finds better writers and adapts the Wolf Gift, and just ends the Mayfair Witches with S2; we don't need anymore of this mess.

the cast and producers of interview with the vampire and mayfair witches will be doing an emmys for your consideration panel on march 15th!

[weekly-lit-vaporeon]

So hey sorry I’ve been kind of lazy. I said I’d have the beach intro post done by yesterday but tbh I started the final school half term that day and I was literally collapsing from exhaustion, not to mention I had to go to my nans to wish her a happy birthday. (Which was nice, it was just I was falling asleep though) Today I had a literature paper and I will rarely get breaks from the onslaught of exams cause I’m a year 11 in the uk school system during May and June.

Exams end soon as in my very last exam is on the Monday morning of the week after that and I’d probably do all the beach posts as sketches, especially during the start to keep my interest since I’ll let you into a little secret... I hate line arting. And my colouring method kind of requires it.

I have a break tomorrow though so I’m going to try to get the starter done in the morning before I hyper fixate on sword and shield in the direct (it’s at 1pm here) and yes. I’m not going to school because I have no exams and I need a break and they have deprived us of all study leave.

=> Tiktoks With You - SKZ

Pairing: skz x gn!reader

Genre: fluff

Summary: headcannons of the skz members and their thoughts on tiktok with y/n!

Warnings: none I think

Masterlist

Chan

Your drafts is full, literally full of dumb videos of Chan. We all know what he's posted on the jyp official page so only you and God know what doesn't end up getting posted. He's not really one for trends so he doesn't like dancing but he's your number one hype man if you film one in front of him. He'll literally go crazy if he even hears 'Maniac' coming from your phone because he knows you'll absolutely eat up the choreo.

Minho

Even though he pretends to hate it he secretly loves when you ask him to do something with you. He'll obviously refuse at first just to watch you beg and whine until he gives in and helps you. He'll still occasionally purposefully ruin a tiktok but just standing still or tickling you to which you obviously have to just pout at until he smiles and continues properly. I think that he just loves to distract you by kissing or hugging you (or smacking your ass) because he just loves to touch you. He also really likes to make little videos of Soonie, Doongie and Dori especially when you play with them because it makes him go all soft. A cutie like he loves it really but you can't know that because he won't let you.

Changbin

Hype man 2.0. On his private account (which literally has one follower, you) he posts little videos of you just going about your day? Like you could be in the kitchen cooking and you'll turn round to see him zooming in on your hands chopping food with a knife? You've asked him so many times why and he'll just shrug because he doesn't actually know why either. He also likes to post gym progress videos just for himself so that he can properly see the difference between what he used to look like because it helps to motivate him and he'll often ask you to film for him.

Hyunjin

At first whenever you would ask him he would complain but recently he's been a little more enthusiastic. He started posting more by himself and while you definitely had a part in it (you totally weren't standing with a gun behind the camera) you feel that it's partially because he's actually getting into it. He likes trying out the filters and often you'll take it in turns to try them out and compare your results. He's really weirdly competitive in them so if he loses his dramatic ass will not talk to you for half an hour until you apologise for beating him.

Han

Confused™. Doesn't know why or how he got here but he's happy. He likes to feel included so when you ask him to help you pull a prank on his bandmates he's more than happy to oblige. Doesn't worry about it too much and just wants to have a good time with you. You'll often go up to him during the day and just show him a tiktok you saw which you found funny so you can laugh at it together. He's starting tagging you in tiktoks that remind him of you and its possibly the cutest but weirdest thing ever because it can range from a cute video of an animal you like to a roblox storytime about furries which is so bizarre it has to be satire. In general, however he's a ten out of ten tiktok boyfriend.

Felix

99% of the time it's actually his idea to make tiktoks together. He has at least 10 drafts of the two of you doing that tiktok of his that went viral. You're definitely the secret to his success because where would he be if he didn't have you screaming for 'more ass' each time he did a take? Even if you don't post them you just love filming them and messing around together because he's just as obsessed as you are. Does loads of cute couple tiktoks with you on his friends only account and literally everyone hates him for it because why are the two of you so cute? Who gave you the right. We love our sunshine.

Seungmin

He wants absolutely nothing to do with tiktok. Unless... You have to really put on the full theatrics to get him to do one with you. But then he loves it. But you can't find out that he loves it. So he's all 'I guess we could film a tiktok *sigh*' and 'what do you wanna do' to which you reply that you don't know and he goes 'we could film a tiktok if you really want to I suppose'. You can see right through him because he's not as slick as he thinks he is.

Jeongin

Idiot. Cute idiot. I think that he prefers watching tiktoks with you to actually making them because it's an excuse to cuddle with you in bed for hours but he doesn't mind filming either. For some reason he finds the choreography difficult despite the fact that that literally does much harder dances every day? It took him a week to learn how to do the woah and it took both you and Felix showing him over and over until he finally got it. He uses it as an excuse to spend more time with you because he loves being in your presence.

Ok I've played fo4 for a few hours. And I'm not really hooked. Idk why :(

Here's my initial thoughts about it: (readmore bc long. Also if you hate seeing me livepost about fo4 you can block "#pia plays fo4")

This might make me sound really stupid but its been pretty confusing so far? I feel like I don't understand what a lot of the mechanics mean- like all the symbols in dialogue, I didn't know I was doing a persuasion check until it told me "persuasion attempt failed" and the guy I was talking to started attacking me LOL. The interfaces are all really hard to look at too it's hurting my eyes 😵‍💫

And I feel like I picked up a lot of weapons from enemies and it's hard to tell what to use, all the names are so similar and I don't really know what any of them mean, it's very overwhelming. I'm also having a hard time telling if weapons and armor break and how to repair them?

Also do all shops buy and sell stuff at like a 90% markup?? Why does Trudy want to buy my gun for 16 caps but sell me the same gun for 150 caps? That's mean, I killed a drug dealer for her why is she trying to scam me now?

Also the fact that I immediately got power armor and a minigun and killed a deathclaw was really startling like I feel like I missed something.... I'm surprised that happened at the beginning. I guess it's to show how eventually you'll be really strong once you have more batteries for your power armor? Also I spent like 30 minutes wandering around trying to find the power armor in the first quest. That's just because I'm stupid but im mentioning it anyway. I also had to look up how to get out of the power armor because I pressed every button on my keyboard and checked the controls tab and still couldn't figure it out. I swear I was less stupid when I played new Vegas the first time.

I also might need to try playing a different kind of character, because I was going for a kind of loner, out for themselves type of character but that's a little harder for me because I naturally just want everyone to hold hands and skip in a circle together.

I also feel like I don't really have anything to do yet besides help Preston and I'm not sure that would be the first thing my character wants to do, so maybe I should make the kind of character who wants to help Preston and it'll be easier. (I'm afraid I'll end up making Delilah 2.0 if I do that though)

LAST THING I DIDN'T KNOW CODSWORTH WAS SUCH A CATTY BITCH, CAN HE STOP BEING SO JUDGEMENTAL??

[verus-veritas]

Legacy

Revenge, Technology, Mind Transference, with a dash of unrequited love. What’s not to love? /Verus

"Dude! P-please! I'm sorry! Whatever you think I've done, it must all be a mistake!" Andew yelled, thrashing against his confinements and eyeing the only point of exit in the room. His firm muscles were wet and taut against his clothes, and his handsome face flush red with terror and worry.

"Are you really sorry though? It didn't seem like it from the way you acted during Gavin's funeral. The sneers and laughter you made as his parents said their final words to him..." I said, hiding in the shadows. Only my feet and the contours of my body was visible for him to see.

"N-no offense. I just found it funny when the parents said they wish he'd atleast gotten a girlfriend before he passed away-" The same devious sneer returned on his perfectly handsome face, as he most likely remembered the scene in his head.

"Of course you found it funny. Because you knew he was completely gay. Gay, and had a massive crush on you for ages. He literally worshipped the ground you walked on, and spent most of his waking hours wishing he could be with you." I explained, slowly walking around him as I pulled out a flimsy latex cap with electronical nodes attached to it.

"And I let him. I did no wrong." Andrew talked back. His eyes following my figure until I stood directly behind him.

"No! You lead him on, made him believe you were actually interested in him. And then you destroyed him. You are the reason he ran out of the house crying, and you are the reason he didn't see the truck speeding towards him!" My voice was shaking as I quickly slapped the cap onto his head, accidentally pulling out a few strands of his hair.

"Ouuch! Get this thing off me!" He shook his head and began thrashing about again.

"You know. He really loved you... He said he was going to make you the happiest man on earth. Showering you with gifts and undying love, and be by your side forever and ever. That's why he trusted you so wholeheartedly and let you do whatever you wanted."

"Naive..." He quietly muttered under his breath.

"He was even fine with you staring and drooling over other girls. As long as he could stay by your side."

"What a fag..." I could hear him gritting his teeth.

"But that evening when you invited him over, only to have him find you in the bedroom hooking up with a random girl... that completely ruined him. You shattered his dream, his self-confidence, and his sensitive soul! He didn't know what to do and where to go, which is why he ran straight out into the traffic..." My voice was uncontrollably going up and down now, as I was unable to hide my emotions.

"Dude only had himself to blame. He should've known I only had him around for the free stuff he bought for me." Andrew snickered, as he looked down at the expensive shorts Gavin had bought for him a few weeks prior.

"How dare you!" I tried to punch his shoulder, but knew I was too weak to do any real damage against his hard muscles.

"Y'know... it almost sounds like you had feelings for him- Wait a minute! You're that pastry white kid that always walked around with him aren't you?! Hah! 'Ghost boy' we called you!" The tone in his voice shifted - with more confidence and arrogance. Back to the way he normally talked - a manipulative bastard at heart. "I see. So you best friend Gavin never had feelings for you, and now that he's gone you blame yourself for not having stopped him."

"......" I clenched my hands till my knuckles turned white.

"Hah! Maybe you really were a horrible friend. Have you thought about that you might be the reason he's dead?" He laughed, obviously enjoying the way he was toying with my feelings.

"...you have no idea..." I mumbled, as tears began to flow down my cheeks.

"Maybe you should be the one sitting in this chair - tied up and wearing this stupid cap on your head. Hehe."

I took a deep breath and calmed myself, before walking around him once again and turning so he could see me. See the real me... one last time. "I will. Soon."

"W-what do you mean with that? And why are you also wearing that ridiculous cap?" He asked. His tone in voice once again becoming panicked and anxious.

"You see. The reason why I'm so pale is because I spend so much time at home playing with my inventions and devices. Coding is one of my favorite things to do. And for the last few months I've relentlessly been working on creating this device we're both wearing right now. It was originally only meant to be used on you, recoding the patterns in your brain into loving Gavin as much as he loved you. While also erasing all of your bad traits and turning you into his ideal boyfriend... but there's no reason for that anymore, is there? So, I upgraded it into 2.0, which can now be used with two people."

"P-pff... yeah right... and what does this new version do then?"

"It can transfer the consciousness between two human brains. Even recoding the brain into believing the new consciousness have always been in control of its own body. All the memories, habits, and even muscle memory will be easily accessible to the new permanent owner." I explained, as I began fiddling with a machine by our side. The nodes on our caps lit up.

"Permanent?! Wait a minute. Let's say all of this freaky sci-fi stuff is actually real, what's going to happen to my consciousness?" Andrew asked, as he began to get more anxious by the beeping sound of the nodes on his head.

"All gone. Overwritten by mine. Erased out of existence with no way of restoring it." I answered nonchalantly. Flicking the last switched around, the device was now ready to be activated.

"What the fuck! Then you're basically killing me?! Get me out of here, you sick freak!" He began violently thrashing against the back of the chair, and flung his head around to get the latex cap off... but to no avail.

"Am I really though? Your memories, your body, and your relationships will all still be here, under my complete control. I'm just... discarding a small part of you that's no longer necessary."

"No...no... Help! HELP! SOMEONE!! THIS CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER IS GOING TO KILL ME!" He shouted at the top of his lungs, but the soundproofed walls would do him no good.

I flicked the final switch and walked over to him as the machine began buzzing. Standing in front of him, I suddenly sat down on his lap and grabbed hold of his face. I stared into his fearful yet piercing blue eyes and slid my hands across the cheeks and contours of his face.

"This beautiful face of yours that Gavin loved, I promise I'll take good care of it and cherish it until the day I die. It's the least I can do to honor my friend Gavin." I leaned forward and gently laid a kiss on his sweaty forehead, while holding him in place as he screamed for all he was worth.

"No! Noo! NOoO-Uoogguuughhhh" His scream turned into a gurgle as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. At the same time, my eyes went white and hazy as my pastry body slumped over and fell on the cement floor. Most likely cracked open its head or something from the sound of it.

"NgOOuoouughhgguuuhh!!!" Andrew's head flung back and forth as if to fight whatever was invading his head, but it barely took a minute before the thrashing suddenly stopped and his head slumped down.

His eyes were closed, his face flushed red from exertion, and the sweat and drool pooled down onto his expensive shorts. A further five minutes of stillness and blinking nodes passed before any activity was seen.

*Gasp*

I awoke to the cap on my head giving me a quick electric shock. In front of me laid my old withered body, lifeless and without a doubt stone dead. My throat felt dry and tired, and the ties on my arms hurt like hell. In fact, everything felt, looked, and smelt different. The smell oozing from my sweaty clothes that once smelt great now stunk in my nose. I could recall from Andrew's memories that he showered atleast twice a day. I showered atleast twice a day.

After some fiddling with the special knots in my back, I easily slipped the rope off. Massaging the sore parts on my wrist, I soon relished in how big and strong my new hands looked now. Hands who should've been holding Gavin's...

I explored further up till I reached my new bulging biceps. Squeezing them I felt how firm and taut they were. I never in a million years would have managed to get myself this big, but here I was, standing in the body of a perfect specimen. The body of the man who my friend loved, but who didn't truly love him back. If only I could've done this before Gavin died... Would he have loved me instead, or would he have hated me for what I had done? Well, atleast he would've been alive.

My focus went to my Andrew face, as I caressed the blemish-free skin and the small stubble forming on it. The face of the man I had hated for a while, the face of the man whose identity I would have to take over, and the face I would see in the mirror for as long as I breathed. It was one of the most handsome faces I've ever laid my eyes on no doubt, so I'm perfectly fine with that decision.

My hands continued to explore what was now mine; running fingers through my lush but wet hair, following the outline of my cobblestone abs, and shaking my strong and muscular legs awake from sitting too long.

Not long after I finally slipped the drool and sweat-soaked shorts off myself and watched as the tool between my legs arose to its new owner. It might not have been as long as my former one, but the very girth of it made up for it. As I enveloped it between my palms, I realized that no one had ever been as intimate with Andrew's tool as I was now, and no one would ever be. Not even Gavin would if he was somehow resurrected. Only I, Andrew would ever know how this throbbing member would feel in my own hands, the endorphins and pleasure its touch would send throughout my amazing body, and the ultimate earth-shattering orgasms I would experience as I edge myself to climax every day from now on.

The very thought of it immediately brought me to the brink of orgasm, so I quickly spread my legs apart and thrust the member fully through my grasp. It was all that was needed as I suddenly began shaking with pleasure and exploded shot after shot of Andrew seed all over the floor, myself and my former lifeless body."Ugh! Uuuugh! UUUuOOGggHH!!"

“.... Holy shit.....” I moaned, slightly shocked by the unfamiliarity of the new voice coming from my throat.

Reeling from my first ever orgasm in my new body and life, I sat back down on the chair and took a breather. I was sweaty, my crotch sticky, and my armpits stunk. Yet, I know I still looked glorious. How couldn't I? After all, I am Andrew. The man who Gavin loved, and who loved him back just as much, if not even more...

I will dedicate this new life of mine to worship and care for this body just as much as Gavin would have. His legacy, Andrew's body and life, and my consciousness have finally become one... and I promise I will carry them with pride and confidence to the grave... even if it is the only thing I will accomplish in this short insignificant life of mine.

Putin...

WARNING - This is the result of an unprecedented amount of anger. You have been warned.

You fucking cunt. You actually did it. WHAT FOR?!? Your speech just before the invasion and your words give away everything who you and your goddamned cohorts are. I thought we’d finally steer away from the constant warfare and suffering that Europe has embroiled itself with for literally most of its known existence so far. I thought this was the damned 21st century, the century when we’d finally learn from the dark chapter 80 years ago. Instead, the EU and NATO pull a Neville Chamberlain 2.0 out of their arses on the obvious build-up to the invasion that is happening right fucking now, and given the former Entente’s antics that caused this monkey theatre in the Middle East, you’re not even bloody helping yourselves here. Switzerland is also complicit in this mess by refusing to freeze Russian assets. Neutral my arse. Schröder is a disgrace for Germany, and Scholz is a bad joke. Habeck looks like the only one with a functioning brain. Germany is nothing more than a Russian puppet in terms of energy supply, and I fucking hate it. Won’t sanction Putin for committing literal war crimes because of you’re afraid of your fucking pennies? Boo fucking hoo!

Hell, Kiev may even fall in a few hours time while we're just sitting ducks here. Who knows what the hell may happen to Zelenskyi then, who at least has enough of a fucking spine to genuinely stand up for his country and people. Even with donating, I feel utterly powerless and I absolutely hate this. I hate that humans still haven't climbed out of the mould that is solving issues with violence and bloodshed.

I'm just so incredibly, hell, irrationally infuriated at the moment I can barely concentrate on anything else. My thesis and courses can go get fucked this semester. You hear me, TU Munich? YOU HEAR ME??? I don’t fucking care anymore. I'm too tired. I can barely sleep.

This is likely the most anger I've felt in my life thus far. I typically never even get remotely as upset.

I'm bloody exhausted. I’m derailing.
