Oh, lawd! i have to post everything again! Send me all your energy. If you wanna be tagged, just inform me!

Also, I’ll be changing the story by a little, (or by a lot, idk) from my previous version.

You were feeling like John Travolta from the music video of Stayin’ Alive. Vibing to your own rhythm, living your own freedom. Attending college miles away from your hometown, you were the captain of your ship. Though you loved your parents more than anything, you were glad for the freedom granted upon you.

Your Freshmen year had just begun and you had already made a few friends. But what you didn’t want to accept just yet was your crush on one of them, Bucky. With his steely blue eyes and boyish charm, even a goddess might fall for him, and you were just a mortal. You were simply happy with being friends as you believed he would never like you and well, a little crush never hurt nobody.  

Completing your shift in a local bookstore, just outside the campus, you were walking back, lost in your own thoughts. What caught your attention was a group of howling high schoolers; from the look of it, they were barely a year to two younger than you. A group of tall and popular kids were bullying a skinny, helpless dude; ufff the usual cliché you thought to yourself. What you failed to notice though was his bleeding nose.  

You were a kind soul, always helping others, but you were no fool. All alone in an unknown town, you weren't going to confront the burly teens who were twice your own size. After giggling and cracking some stupid jokes on the poor dude trying to impress a girl, they left him and that’s when you noticed all the blood. You quickly crossed the road and walked towards him. He seemed smaller than he was as he was crouching down and trying to rub all the blood.

“Hey! Pinch your nose, don’t disturb it by rubbing.” you said while bending down. “Uhh, okay... thanks!” he looked at you with big doe eyes and you were utterly mesmerized by the blue oceans he had for his eyes. “Do you.. Do you need something else kid? Where do you live?” you asked giving him a candy and your water bottle. “I’m no kid!” he exclaimed and you flinched.  

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you. You are helping me and here I am shouting at you.” You could clearly see remorse in his eyes and you wondered why would someone hurt him? “yeah, yeah.. It's Okay... now have this candy, the sugar will help you feel better.” you said with a soft smile. “thank you so much... and by the way I live two streets across. I mean I can go by myself, I'm a grown-up.. But...” he trailed off and you helped him get up.

“I’m Steve” he tried his best to smile and you followed by sharing your own name. And with that his chatter train began, he explained that he was just trying to help another girl getting bullied, when the bullies decided to change their target and chase Steve instead.

“you should wear your own mask first and then help others wear theirs.” you quipped and instantly bit your tongue. “Hmm, what?” he asked genuinely curious. “what I meant is that you did what is correct and very brave, but sometimes you gotta think for yourself too. But these are just my thoughts.” you shrugged. “I’ll remember that.” he said with a genuine expression. And after a million thank yous he finally went in his house. By the size of his house, he seemed rich and you wondered maybe this wasn't that cliché.  

���︎︎☮︎︎☮︎︎☮︎︎☮︎︎

The next day, you were walking back the same road, when you thought of Steve. He really was a kind and sweet person. This world needed more of people like him. And just then you saw him smiling brightly and waving at you, his nose bandaged. He had a huge box in his hand.

“Heyyyyy! Thank you for helping me yesterday. So I just... kinda got this as a ... a token of appreciation. I considered you might like donuts, so I got you this.” He said rubbing his nape. His cheeks had become so red he looked like a ripe tomato. “well, if you haven’t already given me diabetes by saying so many thank yous, after eating sooo many donuts I’ll surely get it.” At that you both chuckled and the atmosphere became lighter. As you picked a donut, he looked at you with such admiration you thought you would melt then and there.

Suddenly with a stern expression you asked “what if it’s drugged?” His eyes widened and he stuttered, “I... I would never do that ...” he looked down and you thought he might cry. “hey waittt.. don’t get so sad.. I’m sorry, I’m so so sorry. I was just joking. I have this really bad habit of saying things when I shouldn’t. God I just ruined everything.” You just made a mental note not to joke around him, he seemed to be quite emotional. Though it was going to be difficult to tame your tongue. “don’t be. I just take things too literally.... anyway let’s have some donuts what say?” He said with such shine in his eyes you wondered whether he was sad just a moment before.

You both walked up to your university campus, munching on donuts. You both shared things about yourselves. You told him how you were passionate in becoming a doctor. He on the other hand talked about his struggles in studying. “will you help me? You are so smart and bright, will you help me study if I have a doubt or something?” he asked giving his big doe eyes.

You weren’t going to agree at first, you had just met him a day ago. But after looking in those calm blue pools of his eyes you agreed. Seeing the joy on his face, you wondered whether he just won an Oscar.

What you didn’t know was that Steve had already fallen in love with you, yes love, he was convinced that you were the one for him, his one true love. Not a moment had he been able to think of anything but you since he had met you. You were everything he needed and wanted and much more. He was simply desperate to spend more time with you.

☮︎︎☮︎︎☮︎︎☮︎︎☮︎︎

It had been around six months since you met Steve. Over the time you two had turned out to be best friends. While Steve had fallen even more in love with you, you had fallen hopelessly in love with bucky. While you always told bucky about Steve and vice versa, you never confessed to Steve about your love for Bucky, thus furthermore increasing his hopes. You desperately wished to make Steve and Bucky meet. They were two important people in your life and you more than anything wished that they got together well.  

Today was the day when you decided to arrange a small meet and greet at the park where you and Steve met every day. You and Bucky walked together towards the tree where you usually sat with Steve waiting there for you. You knew both would like each other, but somewhere deep within your gut you were getting a not-so good feeling about this.  

Steve’s eyes lit up seeing you but as they turned to Bucky, it felt as if all the energy had been sucked out of him. You didn’t like that one bit. “Bucky!?” Steve exclaimed in half disappointment and half fear. “You both... you both know each other?” you ask bewildered. You tried chuckling to lighten the mood but by the looks of it they were sworn enemies, but you prayed that you were wrong. “yeah, we know each other a little too well... Uh... We were good friends once.” Steve quietly admitted.

All this time Bucky had his jaw clenched, dragging in a deep breath he began. “I knew it! I knew it would be you, you little fucker! You want to have everything don’t you? Goddammit! I had this feeling it was you but I thought it was too much of a coincidence, but no. fate had to be so cruel.” you were shocked to see Bucky's sudden outburst. You wondered what conspired between the two, as either hadn’t ever mentioned the other.  

You were snapped out of your thoughts with Bucky calling your name. “let’s go. I don’t want to see him even for a minute more and neither do you.” Bucky started pulling your hand but you stopped him “Bucky no. I guess you have some misunderstanding; Steve is a good person. And you don’t get to tell me who to talk to and who to not.”

Suddenly Bucky turned back to Steve, anger written all over his face. “You didn’t tell her, huh, did you? Don’t worry I'll tell her. Steve is the son of Joseph Rogers and he is the freaking Don Corleone of this area. Do you know how my father died? Steve’s father had him killed just because unknowingly he provided shelter to his father’s fugitive. Steve just pretends to be a caring, emotional person but he is a snake behind that mask, so is everyone in his family.” towards the end Bucky was in tears and you were in utter shock. Now that you tried to remember, Steve never really did tell you much about his family. And the fact that Steve wasn’t denying any single allegation made you want to puke your guts out.

“You have taken too much from me. But not this. Not her. Not the woman I love more than anything.” Bucky said it out loud in the heat of the moment. You were too dumbstruck to even blink. Did Bucky just confess that he loved you?  

Bucky turned to you and held your arm with such softness you wondered if he was just now screaming his lungs out at Steve. “I know I can't tell you who to be with, and I promise I never will in the future, but trust me you want to be caught up with him or his family. And still, if you choose him, well then, I can’t be with you.”

You knew you had to make a choice then and there, there was no going back, and you chose Bucky.

The End of the Year Tag

Rules: Find your fav  pics  of your story, your cc, or your blog in general and post in a collage!  It can be 1 picture or 100– whatever you want! Just reflect on your fav  moments on your blog. It can be cute moments, milestones, edits, or cc  you’re just really proud of. I was tagged by wonderful @obscurus-noctem, thank you so much Personal blabbering: Lawd knows I always have too many words, or too many pics, so this time, I settled on one. This year has been difficult for most of us, for me, personally, beside the madness of the world, it has also been a struggle with internal madness. 2019 was a roller coaster to say the least, I lost my soulmate, and went through thousand thorn bushes, just to get kicked in the crotch every time I made it out of one. I barely got to land in 2020, then the train wreck hit. To say I have been numb most of the year, would be an understatement. But I did find some moments of something else, in between all the fear and hopelessness of the world. I started writing again, not only my story, but also a notebook, full of scribbles about... well... life... It’s been... a decade perhaps more, since I last walked down that path. And so the more rust I scribbled off my pens, the more it started to melt into my “virtual” world as well. Melting into Sims... Malou and Dalton became a sort of way to channel some of my writings, and things I found inspiration in, so I picked one of my favorite pics of them. I could pick a thousand more, better, but this one is very personal to me, like most of the pics I do of them. You see, I’m very much in between paths at the moment. In between light and darkness. It’s been the most lonely year of my life, and I have had to learn, in the end, I’m all I got, no one is coming to hold my hand through it all, I gotta hold my own. So I’ve been working a lot on myself, my writing, finding new ways to channel all the emotions no one else listens to. I’ve found ways to channel my ever growing loneliness, and some of it ends up on pictures, of Dalton and Malou, a way to find a little comfort, and speak words through pictures when I run empty for ways to put them together, in a way that would make sense to other than myself. Yah, I’m doing it again, blabbering. For now, this is the most, and only comfort I have. So I choose, one pic. Truth is, this year, I think most of us are grasping for straws to hold onto. This is mine. Please don’t break it. You never know how far down people has fallen, and what could be their last safety net. Whether you disagree or not, be kind, and as long as no one is directly harming someone, maybe once in a while turn your back on things you disagree with, and ask if it’s really that important to always fight and spread negativity? What are you really winning from it? Are you really winning if you end up being the last push towards someone standing at the edge of a cliff? You can hate on people’s way of coping all you want. But if you want to be allowed to cope in your own way, don’t shit on mine. Let it be.

Do not reblog this! It’s personal shit! You don’t want that on your blog anyway!

Rae Watches Wandavision

1x05 On A Very Special Episode...

If you’d like to be tagged in future posts just let me know

We wait two days for spoilers to kill us

Disney+ wouldn’t let me watch a chunk of last episode, it just kept skipping over it, so apologies if I’m confused about something that was covered last episode

Something I forgot to add last episode, that censoring of the show? Wanda’s not doing that, right? She can’t know somebody’s watching her reality, right?

I do really love how instead of making new characters, they’re bringing in old characters we know, it knits the whole universe together a lot better

I still can’t believe the Previously On and Marvel logo are 2 minutes long and the credits are at least 7, these are really just 20 minute episodes

80s babyy!!

Oh I love Wanda’s hair

....even more horny Vision

Ohh, Wanda, no, no, honey. Don’t do that. Don’t try to control your babbies like you’re controlling everything else

Accurate babying

“What are we doing wrong” Wanda. Babies cry. That is their primary function, it is their only way to vocally communicate

AGNESS, who I don’t really trust anymore

“When was the last time you washed your hands?” Vision you just stuck their binkies in your ears

“Should we just take it from the top?” oh AGNESS

AGNES WHAT???

oh FUCK

FUCKING WHIPLASH

oh sudden baby vision wtf

Kid Vis reminds me of Kid Grinch

Oh yeah, I don’t know any of the sitcoms they’ve been recreating btw. Probably should have said that earlier

MONICA BABY

Wanda’s making her little villagers experience her grief? So she doesn’t have to deal with it? Or is that not on purpose?

“It’s an oversimplification of events, but yes.”

Aw, we stan Jimmy Woo trying to defend Wanda

WANDA HONEY NO

Oh Wanda’s whole outfit and hair? Love it

PUPPY

Nose scrunch

VISION USING HIS BRAIN YEEEAAA VIS

Cue the insta-age

WHIPPERSNAPPERS VISION SAID WHIPPERSNAPPERS

Geraldine was figuring things out and waking up but Wanda’s fine with magic in front of Agnes?

JIMMY WOO, CINNAMON ROLL OF THE YEAR

You know an aerospace engineer, do you, Monica? Do we know them?

“She could’ve taken out Thanos on her own if he hadn’t initiated a blitz.”

Oh-kay, so Monica holds some kinda grudge againt Carol, some resentment there for leaving? for not coming back when she blipped and helping her mum?

MONICA’S GETTING IT, YOU GO MONICA

The Hex

Monicaaahhh

I like what you’ve done with your hair, Norm!

ohhhhh nooooooooo

ohhhhhhhh NOOOOOOOOOOO

oh SHIT

oh no NORM

“It’s Saturday” “No it’s not, it’s Monday” “This morning was Saturday...”

Okay so these twins are totally getting ripped apart from each other at some point and that is going to be wanda’s tipping point

Okay. Second episode mentioning Pietro

So they reckon Wanda is censoring the show.....but why would she let the drone stay?

Uh oh glowy red eyes, she is not letting the drone stay

SWORD IS TRYING TO KILL HER??

Oh lawd she comin’

In FULL modern day costume too!!

Sokovia accent? Is that you?

Oooh she possessing folks

Oh wow

Oh the adverts are back!

“Lagos. For when you make a mess you didn’t mean to!” oH MY GOD

They’re all becoming aware, Wandaaaa

“Some things are forever.” Like death, Wanda, huh? Really?

They had their dog for one whole day

Why...why would Wanda bring a dog into the world for her kids only to kill it?

Vision did you just use dish washing liquid to wash your hands

VISION IS ALSO BECOMING AWARE, VISION GETS IT

“You can’t control me the way you do them” [I Want To Break Free by Queen starts playing in the background]

“Can’t I?” WANDA NO

they’re both so pretty this episode look at them just real quick before they start fighting they’re so pretty

NORM HAS A FAMILY, WANDA

And bam, Vision is broken

“You’ve never talked to me like this before,” you’ve never done anything like this before, Wanda, you’ve never gone this far, you’ve been controlling him since he DIED

“Wanda, why are there no other children in Westview,” YES, VIS, FINALLY

Vision and Jimmy Woo really get me, y’know?

Wanda, honey, please stop lying to him

Oh? OH?

WHAT THE FUCK, NO WAY HAVE YOU RESURRECTED PIETRO TOO

WHAT THE FUUUUUUCKK

THE X-MEN ARE HERE NOW????? WHAT??

IF I COULD MAKE MY WHAT THE FUCKS ANY BIGGER I WOULD

Look at this hipster with his bead necklace and Hawaiin shirt and leather jacket

“She recast Pietro?” with an X-MAN

AN X-MAN FROM THE 80S

WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKK

Okay but...if she really didn’t bring him here...and SWORD didn’t do it...

[sageblogsthings]

okay heres a real one whats your thoughts on philosophy and how people sometimes think it's "pointless" to study

if anyone would prefer to read this as a google doc rather than tumblr text post since this got HELLA long, here is the link!

oh lawd u really just wantin me to go OFF first thing in the morning huh 😂 i think about this a lot though actually so i may or may not have half a response to this just floating around in my brain at any given moment lmaooo 🙈 this is the first time i’ve put it in words tho so pls forgive my mad ranting. y’all lmk in the tags on a scale of -10 to 0 how coherent this was 😂

the first thing i would say to someone who thinks it’s “pointless” to study philosophy *cough cough most of my family cough* is that that in itself is a philosophical claim. the reason that i love philosophy and science, and think that they fundamentally go hand in hand, is that for both you have to have evidence, and clear, methodical logic (my virgo is showing, isn’t it?). you can’t just make a claim that something is useful or useless based on your own personal assessment of it and consider that a valid or sound argument. it’s an opinion, sure, but in every sense of the word that is not an argument.

i think what a lot of people mean when they say that it’s pointless to study philosophy is that it’s pointless to get a degree in philosophy, and i think that’s ultimately just a personal decision but one i don’t inherently disagree with. the whole point of philosophy, imo, is just to broadly analyze the world around you and try to make sense of our place within that world using reason and critical thinking. there is no reason why that should only happen in the context of an academic institution, and i could go on a whole other rant about the uselessness of most academic philosophy and how it actually works against the goals of philosophy as a whole in many cases, but that would be a very very long essay, perhaps another time lol.

now onto the good stuff! i think that a lot of people have this impression of philosophy just being “analyze this text written by this long-dead white dude who didn’t really say anything that profound” *cough cough Kant* and while that is definitely true of a lot of academic philosophy, i think that is very much not the point of philosophy overall. to me, philosophy is largely about asking the questions that characterize human existence: “what is our purpose on earth?” “how do we know which actions are good or bad?” “do moral grey areas exist?” things that are very likely unanswerable at the end of the day but which i think are still important to consider. and this brings me to my very hot take, which i know would annoy a lot of my professors to no end and that brings me great joy: it does not matter if we never answer a single question that philosophy lays before us. the importance of philosophy does not lie in answering the questions, but in asking them. why do i think this? because philosophy does not exist in a vacuum, as much as a lot of philosophers would like to pretend that it does. whatever questions we ask, rational steps we take, analytical tests we perform, we are always taking those actions in the context of our human society. a lot of philosophers like to think that their moral views and practices do not influence their philosophical stances, but they definitely do because they’re human and bias is inescapable. so the reason i say that asking the questions is important, answering them is not so important, is because how we ask and attempt to answer philosophical questions is largely colored by our societal biases whether we want to admit that or not. so, for example, let me trash my favorite worst philosopher (fight me on this), Kant. everyone knows that Kant was sexist and racist, no philosopher worth their salt will argue with you about that. what they will argue with you about is how his prejudices did or did not affect his moral and metaphysical theories. now this might be a “hot take” on my part but the bio major in me is screaming that it is physically fucking impossible for his prejudices to not have influenced his views bc that’s not how brains work. this is why i say that it’s the questioning part of philosophy, not the answering part, that is important. the questioning part is what gets us to look at our biases, recognize and face them head-on, and tackle them in the hopes of reaching an answer. we may never get an answer, but isn’t tackling prejudices like racism, homophobia, sexism, etc more important than being able to answer how ladder schema and limit paradoxes relate to mind-body dualism? (yes, i took an entire fucking course on that, no i would not recommend it lol). if we do come up with philosophical solutions, great! bonus! but i would argue that most of our “moral answers” are actually just sociocultural viewpoints we’ve come to adopt and that philosophy had nothing to do with them, so even when we think we’ve answered philosophical questions we really haven’t. i think a lot of philosophers get hung up on trying to create these impeccable moral systems from the ground up, and imo that’s impossible. what philosophy can do for us though, is give us the tools to question systems already in place, and evaluate our role within those systems so that we can improve them. soooo to summarize, bc this is getting so incredibly long-winded i’m so sorry, is that philosophy may or may not be able to answer any questions ever, but it can help us ask questions and it is in asking these questions, not in answering them, that we can critically analyze our minds and the world around us and recognize what we need to change.

whoooweee i feel like i went through a whole zuko-did-one-good-thing-and-ptfo arc over here tryna write this lol but i hope that my overall point was clearish?? maybe?? i lowkey might turn this into an actual paper later bc i am in full on Spicy Philosophy Mode now lol

tldr: philosophy probably doesn’t ever answer anything, but it does ask a lot, and ultimately asking questions about morality, existence, etc are more important than answering them because asking them is what allows us to critically assess established structures and biases.

ask my thoughts on things

if u dare after this lmaooo

[humblydefiant]

10 questions

Sooooo... I was tagged by several wonderful, amazing people on this and I decided to just tackle them all in one big post (but I’ll put it under a cut so I don’t make people’s thumbs bleed). Thank y’all for being patient and for including me (and at least it didn’t take me a month this time!). I know I haven’t been around much lately and it’s driving me nuts cause I miss talking to everyone. :( But, here are the lovely peeps and their questions and then my questions and tags below. Oh, and I’m answering in the order I received these, but you are all my favorite children (don’t tell the others).

My beautiful new friend @sweet-ree asked:

1. What’s your sign? Birthday? I’m a Taurus still (I think - wasn’t there something a while back where they were adding a new sign? Did I dream that - I don’t keep up with the news). My bday is April 26, 19xx.

2. Favorite cocktail? (If you don’t drink, favorite concoction?) I like Jack on the rocks (yes the drink and yes my husband, preferably both). If I’m mixing, then I use Ginger Ale with Canadian whisky. I call it a Canadian Ginger (I dunno if there is a real name for it).

3. Do you have any special/unusual/secret talents? I really want to degrade myself here (I’m really good at that!) but I will refrain. But honestly, I can’t think of a thing. I got nothin.

4. What is a personal accomplishment you are proud of? Did anyone tell you that you couldn’t do it? Breaking away from my parents’ world view. I’m the only one in my family who isn’t wrapped up in religious bull shit (and please understand I’m not dissing religious people in general - just their particular brand of it). Like I still wonder how I did it. Being gay had a lot to do with it I guess.

5. What is your favorite stuffed animal? Current please (and don’t tell me you don’t have any, I’m over 40 and I have lots incl a giant Appa, I wont believe you) LOL  Um... I don’t have any. I swear! Well, that’s not true. I have an old Ty stuffed bear (do you remember those Ty animals that were so big in the late nineties/early 00s?). An old boyfriend gave it to me. I got rid of him but I still have the bear somewhere. So I guess it’s my favorite by default. (I swear sweet-ree... I would totally own up if I had stuffed animals.)

6. Favorite fic writers? Oh lawd. I am surrounded by so many amazing fic writers here on tumblr it puts me to shame. And I don’t have the time I wish I had to read everything. But I’m lucky that pretty much all of them have me as a mutual (and that makes me really happy). And some of my mutuals have done a couple of short fics and I wish they would do more! And I’m stalling cause I’m terrified I will name some and inadvertently leave others out... and I’m sorry if I do... but... @nightmarestudio606 @bagog @bardofheartdive @ellebeedarling @estalfaed @missannaraven are the most prolific ones but there are many others that I love to and oh shit I’m sorry if I can’t list everyone.

7. Phrase from a video game which became like a mantra to you? (one of my favorite questons!) I don’t know about a mantra (maybe an internal one) but Zaeed’s battle cry in ME2 of “Sit down” is great. I was actually thinking of this the other day. I’d really like to say this to a lot of people as I knock them on their ass.

8. Who was your first fictional crush? (another favorite) I think it was Aquaman [don’t judge]. I really couldn’t tell you why. 

9. Any kinks you’d like to share? Oh, gee. Probably what I would think of as a kink others might think of as vanilla. I guess the dirtiest I ever get is water sports (and its not that I’m really into that but I’m not opposed to it either). Plus, I’m better at giving than receiving - if that’s even close to the right terminology cause (as I was told by a urologist once) I could strip the bark off of a tree and I can do it while erect. Hmmmm... I think I might have just identified a new career path... ;)

10. Post a gif/smiley face/pic/emoji of your current mood.

Me reading the answers to the questions of the people who tagged me. :)

The über talented @missannaraven asked:

1. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Dark chocolate. Not too dark. 80% max. But yeah. I love it. And, if it were all I was eating then I wouldn’t live long and I’d want to die happy.

2. Do you have any nicknames? If not, is there one you’d like to have?

No official ones, no. A lot of my friends call me Ty. A certain circle of friends call me Tysonia (er, you’d just have to know them… they’re special lol). And most of my tumblr friends call me Humbles or some variation thereof, even when they know my real name. It’s funny, when @bardofheartdive came to visit me and she met some of my friends, she referred to me as Humbles and it took my friends a bit of time to realize she was talking about me. haha

3. If you won the lottery tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d buy?

Buy? Hell, I’d put it in the bank. I could just live off the interest. But, I would however pay off my school loan (cause I live in America and it costs a lot of money to obtain useless degrees)

4. Are you a morning person or a night person?

I used to consider myself a night person but I’m old now and suddenly not so much. At 10:30 I’m like, guys I gotta get home my jammies are calling. Well, I don’t wear jammies but it works metaphorically.

5. Do you consider yourself a good cook?

No. I cook. But I don’t consider myself a good cook. I’m not sure if anyone else does either. And I obsessively follow recipes. Like I’ll stand with a cup of sugar in my hand and look at the recipe five times. Is this where I put it in? *that’s what he said* And what the hell does “fold gently mean”? I’m baking a cake not doing laundry.

6. What kinds of things really make you laugh?

Oh, I’m a sucker for sarcasm. But anything can make me laugh really. And I love to laugh.

7. What is your favourite way to spend a day off?

The answer to this is really sad. But playing video games. There are lots of other things I enjoy doing but my favorite thing is just getting lost in a game. Or, if other people are with me, I love playing board/card games to. I just like to have fun.

8. Do you have any pet peeves?

Yes, more than I will admit. I guess the biggest one is arrogance. It drives me freaking nuts. Like you human just like the rest of us. You didn’t put yourself here so get over yourself.

9. Who is your best friend?

Hmmm… this is a really tough question. It’s weird because the person I consider my best friend, I hardly ever see.  But he was there for me when no one else was back in some much darker days and I bonded with him in a way that has never been broken. He says the same but he lives far away and we both suck at actually checking in with each other. But yeah, I still consider him my best friend.

10. What should I know about you that I’d never think to ask?

Hell if I know. I’m not that interesting. I don’t really know what anyone would want to know about me. Hmmmm… let me think. Well, I mentioned school loans earlier. A lot of people don’t know that I have a masters in education though I’ve never been a teacher. I did student teaching and loved/hated it. I had a student find me on facebook and said I was the best teacher she had which made me super proud. I dunno, it’s the first thing that came to mind.

The splendiferous @you-are-a-program (he’s also one-half of Europe’s greatest power couple, just sayin) asked:

1 Favourite Bioware romance?

Anyone want to guess? Anyone? MSHENKO baby. Like, it’s the OTP to end all others.

2 Dragon Age or Mass Effect?

Mass Effect. Though I love Dragon Age (and actually played it first). They are both so good but Mass Effect has mshenko so...

3 Favourite game?

Ok, I’m going to steer myself away from Mass Effect *put it down boy... drop it! good boy* and go with the Uncharted series. I loves me some Nathan Drake. Non-video game-wise, @bardofheartdive introduced me to Pandemic which is a really awesome game.

4 Favourite song (right now)? 

“Can’t Afford It” by Runaground

5 Pizza or pasta? 

*bites nails* Um, pizza? Yeah. That’s my final answer. But barely. I love Italian food!

6 On a scale from ‘throw it into hellfire’ and ‘blessed item’, where do you think pineapple on pizza falls?

I am on the “throw it into hellfire” camp. I hate pineapple period. And I love pizza so it seems to be an unholy combination. BUT I have no problem with people who love it. Just because I don’t like it doesn’t mean others can’t. We can coexist.

7 Favourite 80s song? (come on guys we all have one don’t be shy)

Oh, hell, I ain’t shy. I love 80s music. And my fave song is “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds. (Technically, “With Or Without You” by U2 is my fave but it kinda transcends any time period for me so...)

8 High socks or ankle socks (trying to sort out a fierce debate with the boyfriend tbh cause he’s part of the heathen ankle sock clan)

Gotta go with the BF on this one dude. Sorry. But, then, I am a heathen so - I guess that makes sense.

9 Cats, dogs or foxes?

Cats. Can’t have a cat cause of the hubs but I prefer them. But I love dogs, too. I’m sure I’d love foxes if I knew any.

10 And finally the most important question of all that tests a person’s character: opinions on Boney M’s Rasputin?

*throws down pencil* Welp, I’ve failed. Cause I don’t even know what that is. Does this make me a bad person? Or just an uncultured one?

Finally, the magnificent @shotce asked:

Which (video game) character do you most empathize with and why?

I’m tempted to say Shepard but that would be a lie. Shepard is someone I would love to be but could never. I really connect more with Ryder. They basically are just a regular person who gets thrust into a leadership role they weren’t prepared for and are constantly asking “um, am I doing this right cause I have no idea.” Plus, they have a sarcastic wit. So, yeah, that’s something I can definitely connect with. 

In ME3 did you pick Control, Synthesis or Destroy? Or which one did you favor when playing multiple times? If you didn’t play ME, which type of endings do you usually choose?

I tend to choose Destroy but not really for the moral reasons that most people do. More of a selfish reason that I can’t stand to see Shep sacrifice themselves and I hold out the hope they survive. However, I understand why Control and Synthesis are choices though. 

What is an otp you don’t post as much about? What about your notp?

Probably my other bioware OTP which is Garrett Hawke and Anders. I post about it some on my pinterest but I don’t love them so much to spend much time about it on here. And there are other ships that are in my head but aren’t true otps. A notp? I have plenty ships that I’m not interested in but I don’t rain on other people’s parades so I just keep those to myself. :)

Would you be interested in a flat Kaidan/mshenko sent out through the community?

Mmmm... I’m not sure what the question is. I’m sorry! If you clarify in the notes I’ll try to update!!! But I’m pretty much in support of Kaidan/mshenko in any form so I have a feeling the answer will be a YAS!

What is your favorite type of xover to read/see? Don’t like xovers? What’s a show/movie/fandom you’re into that’s rarely on your blog?

Oh gosh, I love the idea of crossovers and really any combination. @mshenkowithoutadoubt and @bardofheartdive have both brought up a Sense8/Mass Effect xover that sent my head spinning with possibilities. I’ve seen a lot of ME/Dragon Age crossovers that were really well done. Others that can be mixed/matched with reckless abandon: Fringe and Star Trek are just two of many that come to mind.

What trope is your favorite and which one do you despise?

Shotce, you are really cooking my noodle here. LOL I know what tropes are but don’t really ever think about them. So, I don’t know. haha

Do you have any gaming/writing rituals? (I.e. Cocktails, mood lighting)

For gaming, not really. I tend to get really ultra-sucked in so all other conscious awareness of reality kind of goes out the window. For writing - I can’t say I have a ritual (it would probably help me if I had one). I have a playlist I tend to put on when write. Cocktails help! lol But I rarely take part when I write.

What way do you like to shake off a bad day? Or what motivates you?

Playing video games help. As I said above, I tend to block out the rest of the world when I play. So goodbye bad juju. I also enjoy just browsing tumblr in bed, chatting with friends and soaking up some mshenko feels.

If you joined the Inquistion (or moved into a castle) where would you park your butt? Tavern? Library? The gardens? Stable?

The ramparts. I love the view!!! I’d have to make regular side trips to the library and chat/make out with Dorian. (I’ll just cut through Cullen’s office to ogle him teehee) 

What is your weapon of choice in most video games? Powers/biotics? Shotguns or arrows? Wit or strength?

Oh, I’m a vanguard boy. It’s a parallel for how I live my life. Rush headlong into situations without thinking about it, take stock of the situation, shit myself, then fight out of sheer desperation to get out of there. Conversely, my weapon of choice is a sniper rifle. Weird huh?

Ooookaaayy.  So I know I’m supposed to write my own questions and tag people but it took me so long to do this (not that I’m complaining at all - I normally eat this stuff with a spoon but I’m just pressed for time these days) that I can’t do that part right now. Maybe later and I will reference back to this??? Anyway, thank you for your time and attention. I know this was a lot. And for some reason I’m still babbling so... bye.

[shcpeshiftcr-blog]

- yello, i’m ker and i don’t know how to make an intro post but i’ll sure try !! anyway, this is moonsoo (martin for some people). moonsoo is an enigma, even to myself. they don’t like to talk but they are kind of a decent person so they won’t shut you down harshly. here’s their profile, statistics, muse tag, and a more in-depth look into their peculiarity. im not (and theyre not) looking for any connections in particular, but i would love to plot will ALL OF YOU !! also, here, have some cluttered notes about this messy person:

born in koreatown, la; english is their first language but being from where they were plus having a “no english” rule at home, moonsoo speaks korean pretty well even if they moved to an evidently swankier part of town a few years later; their mood (and life) summed up in a word: aish

was basically a ferris bueller of beverly hills high school and was set to go to usc (probably to major in business); but they were never comfortable with the pronouns they were constantly described as; discovered (and started to use) they/them pronouns during the summer before uni, while traveling all over the fifty states

peculiarity has been evident in little partial bursts that they have been able to deal with throughout their school career; their mother was aware of some instances but turned a blind eye; it only fully manifested while on the road (in texas of all places) and was taken to a local church to be exorcised when an ymbyrne disrupted the peace and took them to their first time loop (if ur curious: 1996) and has been on the run since

went back to see their mother only once - on their twenty first birthday. they met at an in and out (for safety purposes) and didn’t say much. they simply gave her a piece of jewelry to remember them by (it was also the first time they used their peculiarity for personal gain). DO NOT ask them about their father - they’ll be like error 404 not found

now for additional info :

doesn’t mind being called moonsoo or martin - tho since they found out about their peculiarity, they have been preferring the former more since it is what is written in all of their official documents so it feels more authentic to them

mx “hope for the best prepare for the worst” - for real; likes to see the best in people and situations while calculating a plan b with a smile on their face; trust them to have your back - but only if they’re a hundred percent sure you have theirs; once they are that certain, expect all the trust in the world (it will take a while tho)

has never been in an actual serious relationship but not for the reasons you may think; they were simply too focused on their schooling and thought that they’d have more time when they were older and and then bam they’re in their twenties and even if there were some “things” here and there they just realized that they never really felt “something” before

they may be an idiot but they’re my idiot

shapeshifts MAINLY for their own goals - doesn’t like taking requests or orders from anyone that’s not an ymbyrne for they don’t want their peculiarity being used as a party trick or amusement; they have very good control of their abilities but the occasional outburst can trigger unpredictable forms

doesn’t have a particular ~look~ for they will literally wear anything and pull it off; LOVES SALES (and thrift stores); likes to look at designer stuff too; top five favorite items of clothing: snapbacks, crop tops, plaid skirts, footwear (lawd they cannot choose), and anything denim. accessories are another story.

likes to make lists

has the weirdest taste in everything (to be revealed)

[whumpgalore]

thank you so much for the tag, @thatsgonnaleaveamark!! <3 this looks like fun xD

1. why did you choose your url?

I made this blog the same night I finally discovered the term "whump", and it was literally the first thing that came to mind. Whump, and lots of it. Thus, WhumpGalore. Lol. Very original, I know.

2. any side-blogs? if you have them, name them and why you have them.

This is a side-blog! More than once, I've wished it was my primary blog, but, ah, well. You've probably seen my main blog following/liking posts around the whumpiverse as @mikailahautumn. haha. (Pls don't stalk me. ;)) That was my first tumblr blog, created for the sole purpose of reblogging/posting pretty photos & words. I also have a "fandom" side blog where I obsess over non-whump-related things. @cryingoverastory

3. how long have you been on tumblr?

I honestly have no idea. (And I'm too lazy to find out. Lol.) I started this blog on February 18th, 2014, however. Still can't believe I was 17 when all this happened. haha.

4. do you have a queue tag?

No... I rarely queue posts. And when I do, I don't tag them. haha.

5. why did you start your blog in the first place?

@fyeahvulnerablemen and @whumpersunited were the first whump blogs I ever discovered, and once I made the connection between the terms whump and hurt/comfort, I just had to make my own blog to save/document my favorite whump scenes. ;) I like things organized, so I decided to tag everything by episode and injury type for easy access. And the rest was history!

6. why did you choose your icon/pfp?

Because Steve McGarrett in H50 2x10 was the first thing I watched after discovering the term "whump", and he remains one of my favorite whumpees. It was the first icon I chose when I made this blog, and I just never changed it. xD

7. why did you choose your header?

Uhh... *double checks header* I don't actually have one right now. Lol. Going for the minimalist look at the moment. But, before that, pretty sure it was also Steve McGarrett. And the reason? See my response to the previous question. ;)

8. what’s your post with the most notes?

I think it's THIS one... followed by THIS one. Probably.

9. how many mutuals do you have?

I have no idea??? Not even sure how you check that -- especially on a side-blog. :/

10. how many followers do you have?

3275 (Still blows my mind, you guys.)

11. how many people do you follow?

1079

12. have you ever made a shitpost?

To be quite honest, I had to google the definition of "shitpost"... lmao. I really don't think I have... maybe once or twice? Idk, man. It's not usually my style. Haha.

13. how often do you use tumblr each day?

I rarely check it every day, tbh... more like a few times a week. I'm too busy right now to devote as much time to this blog as I'd like to, so hopefully I can get back to that in the future. ;)

14. did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?

Noooope. I did have a minor misunderstanding with an anon at one time, but we talked it out and the original person actually came back and apologized. :') That was the first time I really saw the incredible foundation the whump community is built on -- the quality and the genuine kindness of the people in it. Still one of our proudest moments, in my opinion.

15. how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?

I'm a rebel. Sooo, if somebody tells me I "have" to do something, that's a guaranteed way to make sure I don't do it. Lmao. That being said, if it's something that genuinely interests me, I'll reblog it like I would anything else. [shrugs] Pretty simple. ;)

16. do you like tag games?

Yessss! I love them! I'm actually the worst at participating in them, but I do love to when I get a chance.

17. do you like ask games?

Again, I'm the worst at participating and following through, but I do enjoy them when I have time to join in.

18. which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?

Oh, lawd. I don't know. I'm sure there are more than I could count in the whump community, tbh. xD

19. do you have a crush on a mutual?

Nooope. Don't know anyone well enough to have an actual crush, but there are definitely many I greatly admire and look up to! :)

20. tags?

Anyone who wants to do it!! ;) Seriously. You see this and feel like participating? BOOM. You're tagged. And feel free to tag me if you decide to play! I'd love to see the answers. :) xx
