: ̗̀➛ NOT THE EXCEPTION . yan! isagi yoichi / gn! reader
you were the fool for thinking that he'd be the only sane one in a team full of batshít crazy athletes. now he has you cornered, and the look in his eyes tells you that you should have never underestimated a wólf in sheép's clothing.
+ happy happy belated birthday to the love of my life bbg (who shan't be named) AND happy new year to everyone!!
( HOW DO I WRITE KISSING SCENES????, forced kíssing, dúbcon, n/sfw mentions, mánipulation, hárem mentions [bc it's not yester without a hárem] )
Tumblr media
You don't know why you thought he was the exception.
Maybe it's because, in a team full of egoists, Isagi seemed to be the only one to treat you like his equal. Shidou drapes himself all over you and leaves you icky with his séxual comments, Rin cooly glares at you and barely acknowledges your existence, you could nearly faint at the mere glare of Kunigami, and Bachira likes to play rough with your body as he clings and begs for your attention.
That's not even the complete cast. Even people like Nagi, Reo, and Chigiri came with their own set of problems. But not Isagi. You had thought it would never be Isagi. Sure, he had a tongue and attitude on the field, parading around his victory with a smug smirk and spitting poíson at opponents and teammates alike. Yet that side of his seemed to completely disappear whenever he stepped out of the field, his prédatory gaze softening into a fond look whenever you bounded up to him to congratulate him on a well-earned victory. He never tried your boundaries or let his touch linger like the others did.
He was a gentleman through and through, and thinking that was your first mistake.
Your second mistake was being alone with him in your living room. He's still wearing that soft expression and kind smile, but his hands are gripping your wrists too tightly.
"[Your Name]." He says your name in a hushed whisper, bringing up your trembling wrist to his lips so he can press a kiss on a new bruíse. You watch with wide eyes as those plush lips touch your skin and permeate an icy feeling of doom through the veins. His gaze meets yours.
"Don't you think I did well today?"
Though your gut is telling you that something isn't right, you're still a fool smitten with the gentle image Isagi had portrayed himself to be. You find yourself slowly nodding, entranced by those blue eyes that never look away from you.
"Why do you think so?" He presses another kiss on your wrist, before loosening the bruising grip so he can trail kisses up your arm.
"... Your metavision is still as keen as ever," you whispered. The television screen is reflected in his eyes, news of Japan's newest victory flashing on the screen. You can't look away. "You expertly led the others to victory; you instigated all the right chemical reactions for the perfect shot." You lick your dry lips. "... You were amazing."
He huffs a laugh into your shoulder, massaging your bruised wrist like he wasn't the one who left that mark. "You're not echoing Ego's words, are you? I want to hear your own thoughts, not that slimy bastard's."
"M... Maybe," you admit, tense with his grip on your shoulder tightening. "I don't know much about soccer, but I meant every word. You were amazing, Isagi, you really were."
His grip softens, you're still tense, and he hums contentedly. "Right. I was amazing. I devoured every single bastard on that field and left them gasping." Your hair tickles your ear as he pushes them back. "So, don't you think it's a bit unfair?"
"... What is?"
"That I have to share my trophy with the others." His hand feels cold on your neck. "Can't I have one thing to myself? [Your Name], look at me."
You follow. He smiles that gentle smile again. He thumbs your lower lip like a lover.
"Kiss me."
You read romances all the time. They had always described it as hot, passionate, fiery. But maybe you took fiction too seriously. Real life is always different, and the ice in your veins is proof of that.
You draw closer, breath hitched, and mustering all the courage and swallowing down the unease in your heart, you press your lips on his.
There is no fire like the ones described in the books. There is a heavy pit in your stomach. Is this what they call butterflies? You tremble under the scrutinizing gaze of Isagi, eyes still open even with your lips on his. Soon, he closes his eyes too and you feel his lips smirk against yours.
Returning the kiss, he pulls you in closer and takes your everything in deeply. You can't pull away, you don't pull away. In this very moment, he's devouring everything you can offer— for now, physically; soon, mind and spirit. You wince when he bites down on your lip, not even trying to be gentle about it. You flinch backward from the pain, but his hand on the small of your back allows you no escape.
"Kiss me back, baby," he whispers between kisses. "You're my trophy for the night."
You kiss with less passion than him, too nervous about making him happy. You match the softness of his lips with yours, lapping at his tongue like how he does. He laughs when he pulls away, finding amusement in the blushy and nervous look on you.
"Gosh, you're so cute," he sighs, grinning at you. It's no longer friendly, those lips. A bit swollen from your kitten bites, the way he's smirking at you feels too... smug. "Too cute. Those bastards won't have any chance now that I've devoured you."
You gasp when his hand tightens on your hip, and you shoot him a nervous look. "I– Isagi, what are you...?"
"C'mon, [Your Name], how could you possibly not have seen it?" He chuckles. "Bargin' into the locker room every time we're half naked, in those cute shorts, and you think that not one man in that room would think about taking you on the fuckin' bench? Think, cutie. But you've always been wary of them, good thing. They think they can devour you by intimidating and belittling you? Those fuckers don't know shit."
He catches your bottom lip between his teeth and laughs at their stupidity, vibrations buzzing your lip. "First, you gotta sweeten the trap with honey, you know?"
You are reflected in those captivating blue eyes, fluorescent lights illuminating your paling features. Taking you in again, he devours your lips once again, caring only for the taste of victory on his lips and your sweet sounds on his tongue.
Another victory snatched.

pairing. jude bellingham x vs!reader genre. fluff warnings. none request. victoriasecretmodel! reader and jude soing a couples interview and jude keep on flirting with her author‘s note. uhmm so i kinda fell asleep while doing this so this is uploaded a bit late!
Tumblr media
the camera slowly focused on you and jude sitting on a sofa, tangled in each other’s arms. your head was resting on jude‘s chest, feeling his chest steadily rise up and down.
the director gave you a thumbs up to signal that you could start speaking.
“hello i’m y/n” you introduced yourself. “and i’m jude” jude continued.
“and today were going to be doing a couples interview” you said while clapping your hands together and sitting up. jude’s hand made it’s way to your thigh, squeezing it a bit.
“where did you guys meet?” one of the staff members asked curiously.
“funnily enough we actually met through instagram, i mean i didn’t know who jude was so he was the first one that messaged me and asked for my number” you explained while sensing that you had just lowered jude’s ego.
“you didn’t know me?” he gasped while dramatically putting his hand on his chest while his mouth was wide open. you giggled at the sight. you loved this dramatic and “quirky” side of jude.
“where was your first date” another staff member challenged.
“of course inside. we had a nice little cozy movie date whilst eating cake and popcorn. we couldn’t go out, obviously” jude explained while rolling his eyes.
“i still remember when you burned the popcorn” you laughed at the memory.
“i didn’t burn it it just toasted i don’t know what happens, how could you even burn popcorn in the microwave” he complained.
“i don’t know, maybe ask yourself” you joked, receiving a small slap to your waist from jude.
“did your modeling career affect your relationship at all?” someone questioned.
“i mean yeah, we couldn’t really eat everything on our dates, or i atleast couldn’t cause i was on a diet” you frowned. “also we couldn’t spend a lot of time together as i had to travel for shows and jude had to travel for international competitions so our relationship was just facetime at one point” you continued, explaining the down sides of your relationship.
“what is one thing you guys will always have different opinions about?”
“baked beans” you revealed.
“what are you on about they are divine” jude said defensively, as baked beans where his favourite food.
“i just cannot eat them without throwing up, like the texture is just so icky and they don’t taste like anything ew” you said, making a gag sound.
jude rolled his eyes at your dramatic behaviour.
“well, that’s it for today time to wrap it up” the director said making you feel relieved.
“hope you guys learnt something new from this video, goodbye” jude waved.
you both got up from the sofa and made your way to the parking lot where your car was.
“can you get a driving’s license already i don’t want to drive”
“shut up you little rat” he spat back, making you laugh. you pressed a kiss to his temple and started driving home.

you talked about bartender!sirius in a previous post and omg i can't stop thinking about it!!! could you do a fic with costumer!reader and him being all flirty and stuff (maybe even angst where reader is really drunk or has come to drink all her problems away or someone icky is hitting on her or smth?? idk i trust your judgement<3)
litterly giggling and kicking my feet just thinking about it😭🤭
Thanks for requesting gorgeous <3
cw: alcohol
bartender!Sirius x fem!reader ♡ 1.4k words
There are three people working the bar, and you have basically no hope of ever capturing one’s attention. You’re not as assertive as the other patrons vying to get their orders taken, not willing to lean across the bar or shout like they are and perfectly willing to let yourself be pushed out of the way when one of them decides their cause is more prevalent than yours. It probably is. This pub is noisier and more rowdy than you’re accustomed to, and you’re not much of a drinker to begin with, only trying to pay your tax to sit with the friend that invited you here. You’re considering abandoning the endeavor entirely when the next man shouldering you out of the way gets waved off by the bartender nearest. 
“Oi, she was here first.” 
The bartender’s gaze fixes pointedly on you, which is kind of a lot. He has sharp gray eyes paired with superblack hair—like, the kind of black no light can penetrate—and a crooked smile, a handsome and somewhat menacing combination. He leans across the bar, lowering his voice as if he can tell that’s what you’d prefer. 
“What can I get you, doll?” 
You fumble for your tongue. “Um, can I have a citrus spritz, please?” 
He grimaces. “Wish you could,” he says, “but we just ran out of that gin. Got a second choice?” 
“Oh, uh...” You’d only found your first choice after perusing their menu and asking your friend what each thing was, so no, you do not. You take a step back from the bar, yielding your time. “Sorry, I’ll have to—” 
“No, come on, it’s alright.” The bartender doesn’t move, but his voice is loud enough that it reaches you, gets you to turn around. He’s on you with that smile again, one hand beckoning you towards him. “We’ll figure something out for you, sweetheart. Come back here.” 
You step up to the bar stiffly, more than aware of the irritated looks being shot your way by other patrons. 
“What do you like?” he asks you. 
You feel your eyebrows pinch, shaking your head helplessly. Your face feels like it could heat a small home. “I don’t—I’m not sure, sorry.” 
“You’re alright,” he promises, grin vanishing for a moment as he cuts a glare towards a man trying to talk over you. It’s back before you can miss it. “A sweet kinda drink, yeah? Fruity? D’you want something else with citrus?” 
“That sounds good,” you manage.
He winks and pushes off the bar. “Stay put, babe, I’ve gotcha.” 
You do your best, keeping your front pressed to the bar even as everyone else moves around and into you. You feel like a rock in a stream. With no one else to talk to, you watch him work behind the bar. He grabs a bunch of bottles at once, pouring without measuring or counting or hardly even looking, and when he starts shaking it all in a metal cylinder you have to look away from how his tattooed biceps bulge from the short sleeves of his shirt. You’re scanning the rows of liquor behind the bar when he gets back, trying to will the warmth away from your face. 
“Give this a try.” He sets the drink down in front of you. You notice it’s got a bit of dried fruit on top, and then he sets a small shot glass of something bubbly and transparent down next to it—you wince. A garnish and a side; probably not as cheap as you were hoping for. “If you don’t like it,” he says, glancing between you and the drink expectantly, “don’t tell me. Just bring it to the bathroom and flush it. My ego can’t take the rejection.” 
You press your lips together into something you hope approximates a smile and take a careful sip. It is sweet. You can barely taste the alcohol. You rub your lips together as you set it down, hoping you haven’t gotten foam on your mouth. 
“It’s really good,” you tell him honestly, and he grins in response. You raise it to your lips for more. “What is it?” 
“A pornstar martini.” 
You nearly spit foam right at him, somehow reversing at the last moment so you take in a hearty sip instead. His grin widens, showing canines, like he knew the effect the name would have on you. It should make you feel childish, but he doesn’t seem like he’s laughing at you so much as with you. 
“It’s good,” you say again, taking out your card. “Thank you.” 
He holds up his hands, stepping away from your credit card like it’s a weapon. “Put that thing away,” he says. “You’re insulting me, dollface.” 
You let your card hover in the air between you, unsure. “I can’t let you—”
“Sure you can. You have to,” he insists, setting both hands on the bar and leveling you with a significant look. You can’t look back for more than a second before your gaze flees downward. “If I can’t comp a pretty girl’s drink, what am I doing here?” He lowers his voice, leaning across the bar so his face is just a few inches from yours. “And if I can’t add a pretty girl’s drink to a tosser’s tab—” he flicks his gaze over to the man who’s been especially persistent in trying to get his order in over yours since you’ve come up “—then I may as well quit.”
You press your lips together, trying desperately to keep from looking as flattered and flustered as you feel. 
“You don’t want to leave me without purpose, do you?” 
“No.” You smile down at the bar, privately rolling your eyes. When you glance back up, there’s a waggishness in his eyes that suggests he saw. “Thanks.” 
“Thank you. Have a good night.” 
“You too.” 
You turn, starting back for your table, but stall a couple of steps in. Your seat’s been taken by a man around your age, all smiley and nodding as your friend talks. They’ve both got their elbows leaned on the table, eyes locked like they’re in some sort of competition. And you may not spend a lot of time in pubs, but you know enough to stay away when two people are looking at each other like that. 
You stand awkwardly on the fringes of the bar crowd, looking around for another empty table, but it’s too crowded tonight; there are none. You consider dropping by to tell your friend you’re leaving, but now you’ve got this full drink in your hand. Maybe if you finish it quickly…
“Hey!” You pivot, and the same bartender is looking at you again, craning his neck to see you over the crowd. “Hey,” he all but shouts to be heard, “come here.” 
You’re nothing if not obedient, working your way through the crowd with murmured apologies and your eyes on the ground to ensure you don’t step on anyone’s toes. When you get up to the bar, he’s waiting for you, holding up a hand to pause the man—the tosser, he’d dubbed him—trying to talk to him. You wonder if he’d halted his order halfway through. 
“What’s going on?” he asks, eyebrows twitching together. “You looked lost over there, babe.”
“Sorry,” you say, though you’re not sure what for. “I just—my seat was taken, so I was just trying to figure out—”
“You can sit here.” 
You blink, and he motions to the stools tucked under the bar in front of you, the ones nobody’s using. “I mean, you don’t have to,” he says, the closest thing to hesitant you’ve seen from him yet, “but you’re welcome to. I could use some good-looking company. We’re severely lacking over here.” 
“Fuck off,” says another bartender, skimming behind him to grab a bottle off a shelf. 
“Not counting you, Marls.” He shoots a sharp-edged grin towards the blond woman before fixing it back on you. His eyebrow twitches slightly in question. 
“Okay.” You pull a seat out. “Okay, thanks.” 
“Don’t thank me, doll, you’re doing me a favor.” He sets his forearms on the bar, leaning towards you like you’re having a far more private conversation. “I’m Sirius.” Something about him softens when you tell him your name in response, and you get the sense he’s been waiting for it. He repeats it back to you like it’s something special. “Alright, y/n, enjoy your drink, and I’ll try to be as decent company as I can while dealing with these pricks.” He makes no effort to keep the man beside you from hearing, then turns to him with an extremely false-looking smile. “Hi, what can I get you?” 
Even as the man starts giving his order, Sirius’ eyes flicker your way to see if he made you smile. He did.

✦ PAC : ONCE UPON A FAIRYTALE
which romance trope do you and your fs belong to?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
like & rb if resonates i'm a beginner in tarot so please take everything with a grain of salt it is a general reading so only take what resonates
WARNING: a bit of nsfw in pile 1, nothing too explicit
Tumblr media
🔥 | pile one!
THE TROPE : ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS / RIVALS
if you got this pile, goddamn, i shall say the sexual tension is high af. this trope isn't necessarily how you'll feel about your fs but it is for the small percentage of people out there. as for the others, it is merely small rivalry, not anything major. or maybe you both meet through or during some kind of competition. even a school test, yes.
you both are so bound by your duties/work and have a want to do the best. this is exactly the trait that will bring you both together. there will be ups and downs due to either/both of you being stubborn and sticking to your own plans. communication is definitely necessary and so is understanding. high possibility that you two might also break up because of this huge ego problem that either of you might have in order to rekindle.
as for the bond between you two, let's just say you both are willing to devour each other. i'm not kidding. interpreting the shufflemancy messages really said "i want you, but i can't admit that because i have a huge ego." like they want you so bad, it's not funny (and so do you). even during the small squabbles lies this high need of just riling each other to see if you both end on the bed or not-
SONGS CHANNELLED FOR THE TROPE:
Tumblr media
🌟 | pile two!
THE TROPE : SOULMATES
whole. some. that's it. this is something the majority of this pile would be with their fs. for some of you, twin flames too. but this pile is beautiful because you would feel that your fs/ you is/are a shooting star, fulfilling the wish to be loved, genuinely.
it feels like everything was planned from the start and you both wouldn't regret it. either of you might have been going through a whole ass storm in life before an umbrella magically appears. this storm is meant to be a trial to build a strong foundation together in order to face it head on.
as for the bond, it's really sweet and warm. it's like those indie romance movies where just a glance between the leads would send a warm tingle in your body. you both are so supportive of each other and make sure to take care of each other. it feels like spending time near the fire on a cold evening. my favourite pile <333
SONGS CHANNELED FOR THE TROPE :
Tumblr media
💓 | pile three!
THE TROPE : BLIND DATE / LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
a new beginning, and a perfect one at that hmm? that's the perfect trope for you and fs, pile 3. getting over an ex probably seems a major theme here, or just getting over something and starting something new and exciting. it screams "right person at the right moment"
the best part is right off the bat, sparks fly high and it feels more than a crush even if you've known the person for a single day/date. not to mention, the majority of your fs's are charming, their personality makes you dive down a deep hole, damn. but being rational is necessary and taking everything slow seems to be the best option, otherwise the hole might suck either of you to darkness.
as for the bond, you both might be a bit secretive but it's honestly better this way. you both are willing to listen to each other's opinion and make sure to encourage each other. can't really pick much up since both of you like to keep your private life a secret. but nonetheless, you both are adorable <3

Hi how do I dismiss the 3d when it is literally showing the opposite of what I want? For an example, I want good grades but the 3d is showing that I have bad grades. So what should I do?
Hi! I'm on break but I'll answer this for you because I was going through the same problem which is dealing with the 3d.
Haha, how do we start telling you what I freaking went through today about this exact topic of dismissing the 3d...
This week, I wasn't feeling well and I was crying almost all day today because something was bothering me in the 3d. Wanna guess what it is? Yeah, it's showing the opposite today and your girl decided to focus on that. I kept forcing myself to affirm and pretend to be happy when I was not. I was trying to do it with feelings and manifesting with the feeling of lack. With doubts and negative thoughts affecting me during the day.
All I did was stop forcing myself to do sh*t and treating it like a job when it is not. I thought, "Everyone always says that you already have it now. Why do I need to do this when I can just calm down and just know and accept that I have this thing? If I just know that I have it and it's done then there is literally nothing to worry about?"
Instead of forcing myself to do stuff to manifest to get and fighting the resistance and the doubts, what I did was just calm myself down, fully accept and silently know that I have it and told myself that there's nothing to worry about. I have it anyway. I'm a powerful manifestor. Me having doubts doesn't mean that I don't have it. Instead of fighting the doubts and resistance, I decided to let all my feelings out, let the resistance and doubts pass by and just think that anything that says otherwise is a hater.
Hater (aka ego): You don't have it!
Me: Why so jealous? You're just a jealous hater because I have it and you don't.
Hater: You don't have your desires blablabla!
Me: You can say whatever you want but I still have it anyway
This is not me fighting my doubts or negative thoughts. I don't consider what the ego says as my thoughts. I just calmly laugh at it and tell it that I don't care and it's just jealous. Just let them pass by and it's gonna be fine. That's all you need to do or whatever feels good to you.
I was focusing on the 3d myself but I just learned that I don't need to fight it. I'm calm and just doing what makes me happy because I know in my heart that my desires are meant for me and I already have them. I don't need to do sh*t to get them because duh! I already have them.
I know it's not nice to see the opposite. Trust me, I know how you feel. Just have this confident idgaf baddie energy about it. It's not the end all be all. Just remember this. Feel your feelings, that's important. Rant if you want to but just know that all you need to do is to know that you have the best grades. Accept and internalize that you have the highest grades. Remember that the 3d is a mirror that reflects your 4d which is imagination, what's in your mind and your thoughts. I felt like having to prove myself to the 3d that I have it but why do we do that? It's just gonna reflect what you thought. Don't manifest to change the 3d, just focus on knowing you have the best grades no matter what you see. Again, you don't have to fight and force yourself to believe that you have it. Don't do that, it's icky and doesn't feel good to force yourself. Just think about this one thing. I just need to accept my desires. Everyone says you just have to know you have it. If you have it now, how would you feel? I don't want you to manifest to get, you'll get it anyway but doing that will just stress you out.
We are told to just know we already have it so what do we lose by doing that? Nothing. Just breathe deeply and you don't need to fake sh*t. Just relax and accept that you have the grades you want. Keep telling yourself that you're a powerful manifestor. What I found that works for me is tell myself or remind myself in the most gentle way that I am a powerful manifestor. I also just have that silent boss baddie energy without forcing it to be like that. Just that gentle reminder that you are a powerful manifestor and it's done.
I am a powerful manifestor. Anything that says otherwise is just jealous and is a hater. Yap all you want but at the end of the day, I will have the last laugh because I have it anyway. I'm accepting that I have my desires, I don't need to do anything to get it. Just naturally be the person who has it. You can think that you're a main character in a show and any doubts or negative thoughts are just the villain who always try to bring you down but they just can't do that no matter what they do and they're just pathetic haters. Have that boss/baddie/badass/confident main character energy! Be that! You don't have to act or force anything. You are that anyway. You don't need to prove to the 3d or anyone that you have it. Just have that silent confidence and assurance that you have it no matter what you see in the 3d.
Please don't be afraid to keep asking! I went through a rough patch in manifesting this week but I'm still here with a newfound confidence and wisdom.
My number one tip is to not make manifesting a process. As you wanted it, you have it. Your desires are meant for you. Also please do take care of your mental health! It's important. The basics of manifesting is to know you have it. There's nothing to lose if we try just accepting it's done right? If you have those high grades, how would you feel? Distract yourself from the 3d if you can and make sure to do what makes you happy! It takes all and any resistance away.

Super fun idea (imo) - soft play! 🎠🪁Could you do MK1 Johnny Cage with a baby regressor (and toddler if that's fine) at one? Ty!
Hi!! Yes, I'm so sorry for how late this is!!! :(
This is a Johnny Cage w/ Babyspace Regressor pt 2, but the first for Toddlerspace Regressor!!
Tumblr media
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
CG Johnny Cage MK1 w/ Baby(pt 2)-Toddlerspace Regressor Hcs
⭐ He loves any and all regressors, but toddlers are his best fit!!! He’s really good with baby regressors too!!
⭐ We’ll focus on toddler regressor for a second:
⭐ Energetic toddlers that like to run around his house? My, my your energetic!! Thank goodness your Dada can keep up because he’s just that awesome! 😎
⭐ A crafty toddler? Amazing!! He loves crafty regressors, toddler or baby!!
⭐ Your making a mac and cheese picture? Wait a minute, is that his mac and cheese? Did you ask to use that? . . . Maybe he can let it go this one, his baby’s work looks so gorgeous!!
⭐ A sneaky toddler or baby? Now, now Mister/Missy, just don’t do anything too bad now!!
⭐ He finds it really funny when you try to sneakily grab an extra piece of candy, but your giggling a bit too loudly and he can obviously tell what your doing . . . But he won’t stop you . . Atleast this time
⭐ He’ll let you wear his sunglasses!! You can look just as awesome as your Dada!! 💪
⭐ Karaoke? Or regressors that like singing? Disney song night!!! He’ll even help you with the big kid words!
⭐ Now, some baby regressor focus!!
⭐ For crafty littler regressors, he’ll help guide your hand, or will happily accept a pretty scribbled picture!! He’ll even frame it after it’s happy time on the fridge!! :D
⭐ He’ll get you separate sunglasses, but the exact same as his
⭐ Not that he doesn’t trust you!! . . . But some babies chew . . And he likes his sunglasses, darling
⭐ Any kind of padding you need, he will never, ever, be mean to you about!!
⭐ In fact, I once said in my CG Johnny Cage w/ Padding Regressor Hcs that if you ever felt embarrassed about padding, he’d wear one with you just to show you that they’re not bad
⭐ ^ I stand by this Hc, he’s got the (loving) ego for it
⭐ Plus he’s your Dada!! He can’t have his baby feeling icky or embarrassed about something they shouldn’t be!! And he’ll do whatever he can to make sure your okay!!
⭐ Ugh, bottle-feeding 🥺
⭐ He loves bottle-feeding you, you on his lap, or your head on his lap, near naptime or just while watching a movie, his baby in his arms <3
⭐ Some general Baby/Toddler Hcs now:
⭐ He finds it really funny if you try to copy him
⭐ You flex in the mirror after he flexes? Now you two are giggling and flexing your muscles!! 💪
⭐ The only thing he doesn’t like is his own potty mouth, it’s not a bad habit, but sometimes some no-no words slip . . . Let’s not repeat Dada’s big kid no-no words, alright, Sweetheart?
⭐ He’ll buy you custom items!!
⭐ A plushie from a show you really like? He can get one exactly like it, he likes seeing you happy!
⭐ Custom-designed pacis or sippies/bottles too!! Whatever design or aesthetic - Whatever you want really! How can he say no to his baby’s happiness? He has the money 🥺
⭐ One of you two’s a cuddle bug, and it’s not always you
⭐ Johnny’s a MASSIVE cuddlebug, especially when you're small!! (although all the time really)
⭐ Sometimes Johnny fears that the Pappirazzi will find out about your regression, and he’s already made an entire plan in his head (especially one where they look bad)
⭐ ^ It would never come to this, he makes sure of it
⭐ Which is why he’ll take you out sometimes when your small!! Maybe a bit more for older kiddos or age dreamers, but a trip to McDonalds won’t hurt anyone
⭐ Restablishing, but his favorite activity with all regressors is
⭐ Have you seen his wardrobe? He’s got fashion (and costumes!!)
⭐ With baby regressors he’ll get soft onesies, or character onesies, and help you have a fashion show by carrying you on your make shift run way
⭐ Toddler regressors he’ll get some cute outfits, or costumes like his Indiana Jones one, and cheer as you put on a show for him and his stuffies (they all loved your rpeformance by the way!!)
⭐ Baby or toddler, he’ll try to always carry
⭐ Your his baby, he’s Johnny Cage, why would you need to walk or crawl when your Dada’s a big, strong, action movie star? 🥺
⭐ One of his little nicknames for you would be Superstar!! <3

Sorry for the long no posting guys, I had a hard time writing for some reason these past few days. But don't worry!! I'll post more soon!! Finals schedule is coming up so I should be able to write some things during that time, hopefully. <3

Fuck, I'm not traumatized enough for this
Means-testing is a quintessentially liberal idea. Instead of presenting a program or benefit (eg: student debt relief) as a human right available to everyone, liberal politicians often make sure it’s means-tested, restricting the benefit to only those who fit certain criteria. These criteria are usually numerical, reflecting the neoliberal obsession with quantification and collection of data. This doesn’t help people who fluctuate above and below the threshold, and it hurts people who do qualify when they aren’t able to get through the bureaucracy in order to claim their benefit.
What does this have to do with trauma?
The means-testing of trauma and oppression is sometimes seen as a useful method of determining someone’s moral superiority in leftist spaces which, I think, are corroded by neoliberal brainrot. The thing being gatekept can vary widely; it might be a community of some kind or something more specific like a publishing opportunity. The basic idea is that you must be this oppressed to enter. Someone’s perceived identity is used as a way of determining how much trauma they have purely from demographic information, remarkably similarly to real means-tested programs, and has nothing to do with the person’s actual life experience.
Because means-testing implies a kind of quantification, if only between more or less, a hierarchy of suffering can be constructed and further used as an indicator of moral purity. The most oppressed person in a group might be seen as morally correct more often, as if there is a neat spectrum of moral correctness. In addition, this person, despite being considered morally correct, might not actually benefit from this perception if they are marginalized and face marginalization from the same people putting them on a pedestal.
This is similar to the phenomenon colloquially called the Oppression Olympics, a competition to see who is more oppressed. The pejorative name is used by those who think it is a pointless exercise that detracts from making meaningful change. In the vast majority of cases, it is, and the discussion only serves to boost the ego of the winner of the competition and cement their status within the community.
Sometimes there is even a chasm between the material status of the person who “won” the Oppression Olympics and the person who is, when measured through more objective metrics, actually the most oppressed. This is a potential avenue for elite capture; someone who is able to communicate their experience using the potent buzzwords of the scene or who otherwise has more social capital may be able to capture the clout that comes with being recognized as the most oppressed.
The competitive nature of this exercise plays into neoliberal subjectivity, with its focus on being the best, or in this case, the most oppressed. Oppression is a competition—like the Olympics. This implies there’s something to be gained. And if there’s something to be gained, is there also an incentive to lean into any experiences of oppression you can claim? I’ve observed this behavior in people, but calling them out on it is an extremely risky and usually futile proposition.
There is actually no need to determine who is the most oppressed in the vast majority of situations, so engaging in this debate takes valuable time away from doing literally anything else. It also strongly implies that vulnerability is mandatory, that you must share your experiences of marginalization in order to be seen as moral enough for the cause. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had icky feelings when presented with an obligation to list off all the identities I can claim, as if they’re synonymous with the problems in my life.
Of course, there are many situations where it is appropriate to means-test access to a resource; for example, if there is a limited about of funding to distribute to people with the greatest need. In writing this post, I’m mainly thinking of social dynamics in activist groups and even in social groups that just happen to be left-leaning. This is trend among modern leftist “culture,” if culture can be defined as behavioral and belief patterns in a group of people.
Whatever the case, I still think it’s important to examine the idea that means-testing and hierarchies of oppression emerge as viable concepts only because neoliberal ideology is the water many Americans swim in. It might just seem natural to place a more oppressed person (whatever this actually means) higher in the hierarchy, but why? Whether or not it’s the right thing to do, why does it seem natural? Is the hierarchy important to understanding the situation, or is it being emphasized because someone stands to gain something from its enforcement? Is it being built only because the people involved are used to thinking that way? Does it create problems where there weren’t any before?
PS: if you find my writing interesting or educational, please reblog! like artists, writers depend on reblogs to make sure new audiences see their work. thanks for reading!

I hope I'm not overeaching or anything, but did Chris Hemsworth had a hand in ruining Loki? Lately, he 'admitted' in going overboard with the comedy in thor 4 and he let Taika take the heat since people are only bashing him. But rumour has it that it was his idea in bringing the comedy, so Tom wouldn't steal the spotlight for thor 3. If its true, it's one of the most unprofessional and horrible things an actor could do. That's why we never see those two together. Plus pay attention to Tom's body language in interviews for thor ragnorak and his succeeding movie, early man. There's a stark difference.
Recently, for the furiosa movie, his co-star Anya Taylor Joy mentioned about a horrible experience. When she was enquired more on it, she said she will only speak about it twenty years later. Also, notice how chris hemsworth is always there with anya in almost every interview. I meant individual interviews are pretty less. Apparently he recieved a lot of good reviews for his performance. He seems not to have an issue stealing her spotlight though.
Also, has anyone tried spilling tea about Chris to gossip channels. Apparently, when you go down the rabbit hole of fauxmoi subreddit, you'll find out this man is very protected and has done a lot of shady stuff. Anyone trying to spill it, is often ignored. Nobody could send any tea about him to deuxmoi(the most famous tea channel).
I know i'm overeaching, but his fake personality has been really icky, and they way people have no issue is bothering me a lot. I know you are not the person to talk to about this ,please prove me wrong though.
I think even I have brought up how there seemed to be some ego behind Ragnarok with Hemsworth, but for the most point I avoid talking about what I think people are like as people. I will dunk on writers' writing if I think it bad, and if I think any creator is bad at their job of creating a story I'll say it, but I try to avoid making it about them as people because you don't know people you don't know.
Anyone public figure is putting on a face when they in front camera. It's anyone guess what they're really like. Sometime people do truly seem like they are perfectly nice people, sometimes they turn out to be awful. You don't know people you don't know.
I'm not someone who follows celebrities or gossip, someone has to say or do something pretty openly before it catches my notice. I haven't look much at all in Hemsworth or what people he's worked with have to say about him. I'm not the person to ask, I don't know the tea.

I'm asking you this only because you've expressed having dealt with this kind of issue as well before, but do you have any tips for coping with lack of reactions or responses to your work? I struggle a lot with this, and because of it, I hate telling anyone how long I've been drawing and writing for. It's embarrassingly long in comparison to how little people react to my work. I feel both insecure and like I have a bloated ego at once; 'Don't they see what I see in my work? Am I seeing wrong? What should I do?' Sorry,, I know this is kinda a loaded question
I'm not sure I've ever related so hard to anything in my life, anon. Experiencing this is the main reason I've taken a huge step back from the blog in general. The way I've been coping while I've been posting shorts fics recently is to just post the stories and avoiding checking the notes. I don't even reblog anymore because for me, reblogging just piles up all the icky feelings and negative self talk. I guess I'm just trying hard to convince myself that I don't care about the engagement.
People have been letting me know that my posts aren't showing up on their dashboards, which means my blog might be blocked from appearing for some users. On the one hand, okay, cool, maybe my fics aren't just being ignored. But it also doesn't really help, because I don't know for sure that this ban actually exists. My brain is always going to lean towards everything being my fault and my writing being deeply unlikeable.
Sorry that I can't offer anything more positive, but I haven't found a great way of coping with it to be honest. It's fine to say, "Just write for yourself", but while this sometimes works as motivation, it doesn't get rid of the sting when something doesn't do well.

Adam is an actual good character to like, enjoy and even kin with reasonable arguments. Like on the surface? Yeah, he's the biggest bitch in all of hell. But if ya look closely he has his moments in which his insecurities show, in which he does not seem all that confident and full of himself.
It's an act - he's all fake it til ya make it. This bitch is so insecure, the only way for him to deal with that is to play down others. He feels like he's the worst so he acts like he's the best.
He's also probably super traumatized because the women God had created for him and only him turned against him and both slept with Lucifer - Lucifer whom he had probably called his best and first friend during Eden, Lucifer whom he had thought he could trust. It was is position to keep Lilith in place, yet she described him as "controlling and demanding" (I'd like to clarify: the story Charlie tells us in the beginning of Hazbin is a story Lilith has told her thousands of times as a toddler, it's a subjective story. She framed Adam as controlling, that does not mean he was all that controlling.)
Also can we talk about that from Adam's view, the exterminations are valid? Adam wants to protect heaven like he used to protect Eden, it's not only in his blood and what he had been created for, it's also his home. Adam is trying to keep his home safe from sinners, to low-key protect "his people". Because what if a sinner only pretends that they got better and then fuck up heaven? The only safe space Adam has these days?
And people calling Adam a misogynist are totally missing so fucking many points. Yes, he calls women bitches, but knowing Adam he'd call everyone a bitch. He calls all the sinners cunts in "Hell is Forever", it's just the way he speaks, he's not actually insulting them (I feel him on that bc I call my friends bitches & hoes too). He named Vaggie after "the best thing ever" not because she was the weakest and she sees pussy as something weak but because she was the strongest, the baddest bitch in the entire army. Also his army: a women only thing. Why? Because Adam knows that women are fucking badass, that they can fuck shit up. Yes, he's probably trying to deal with the trauma of the first two women leaving him, but so what? We all have our issues and we all have our ways to deal with it.
On the surface Adam was an asshole, yes. But all in all his character goes so much deeper and that's why I love him so much. If ya don't look closely he's just a rock but if ya crack that rock open and look closely he's a gemstone - and one of the prettiest I've ever seen too.
mkay so i'm gonna do a mini blurb about adam's character and his 'EGO’.
Most people will look at him and say, "Oh his ego is so high, he's up his own ass, he doesn't care about anyone-"
No.
He cares so much.
So much about the way people perceive him.
He's the type of person to apologise when you bump into him. It's a force of habit for him. He apologises for everything he does, it doesn't matter if he's right or wrong, because in his eyes, all he does is wrong. He isn't capable of doing anything right.
That's how he sees himself.
Two brides, both made for him, and yet he couldn't keep either of them at his side. He most defiantly blames himself for it. Even though the fandom is just going to ignore the fact that Lucifer in Eden is a manipulating grooming asshole who acted on his selfish desires and ruined any semblance of a 'normal' relationship Adam could've had with either woman. Obviously, he didn't intend to hurt him, but manipulating "adults" who have the mind of children because they don’t know anything? Kinda icky.
Back to Adam. Ask anyone with a large ego. I for one, have a 'huge' ego. But I really don't. It's a mechanism people use to avoid letting other's in. Adam loved Lilith. Maybe not as a wife or in a romantic aspect, (though I fully believe that he adored her) and he most defiantly adored Eve. Both of those women were ripped from him. Why would he let another person get close only to have them pull away from him. And Adam would cling. He would beg, and cry. Don't leave him. You can't. Not again. Like wet wool to a thorny branch. And it would hurt. Being alone again hurt. Adam could love again, but the feeling of love, in contrast to everything that might go wrong. It isn't worth the risk. So, Adam will close himself off; act like dick to avoid people coming to close. Push others away. He ends up alone sure, but that's his fault. It's ok then. If it's his fault. That's the reason for his 'ego'. Ask anyone with attachment issues. The feeling that's worse than them leaving, is feeling like you're a burden. Too clingy. So, they push, and pull. They want attention, and affection, but then they feel bad for asking so much and pull away.
How do people cope?
Cut themselves off.
Build a shield.
Don't let anyone in.
You'll get hurt again.
Adam uses his 'ego' as a way to avoid being hurt again.
He most defiantly has a large house, that he never lives in. He sleeps there sure. But it's not home. Covered in dust. It hasn't been loved. Plain. Unfurnished. He probably has a beautiful garden. And its full of animals. I believe, when things get too much, he'll strip and set foot into 'Eden' once more. But this isn't like his old Eden. He can't be hurt here. He's vulnerable. In a sense it's his form of age regression.
I got carried away whoopsies.
Yesssss <3 <3
on most points except the Lucifer thing but agree to disagree

Some SGE prequel emotional posting
So I get that people are like "Rafal this and Rafal that" and even sometimes with Rhian, but here are two characters I just want to discuss:
Rufius. I know he's unimportant mostly to the plot, but he is for those people who really try to find friends but every time they get an opportunity it all goes to rot. They get ditched for the next best thing. Rufius helped Aladdin with Hephaestus and I'm sure Aladdin didn't care much. Rufius was an ego boost for Rafal, most likely, to feel good and saintly more than he really was. Midas obviously left him for some guy who wasn't even a true friend. (Though admittedly, Midas ditched Rafal and regretted the way he treated friends.) And I guess I can relate to tending to be in a group with beautiful, talented, etc people-- just anyone that one can perceive as superior to them. I'm sure Rufius has potential to do many great things but he has low self esteem and he cares too much for worthless fake ass friends.
Midas. He admittedly was not on his best behavior for many parts of the book, but the guilt he feels and the fact he thinks he deserves punishment really hurts. Basically, he didn't deserve to get killed, just something proportionate to his childish dishonesty and selfishness. Maybe Rufius and others confronting him about it? Bad marks? Anything but death and the horrible way Rafal treated him. Midas even tried to save Rafal and go back to him even though he knew what he did. So he tried to change his attitude there. Plus, he was taken from his home to a strange new place with people he didn't like, one clingy dude, one creepy school master, and one other one he admired. He was treated like a toy and a pet by all three contenders. And what Rafal did to Midas made me feel so sick because he was supposed to be "good" here shortly afterwards. Tf? With the others, he didn't really pretend to be greater than he was, but this is just plain density or arrogance on his part. How the hell can you be pure good after doing... that? And one part I do NOT defend Rhian is crushing on his own student and trying to make him teacher's pet. That's just icky even if both of you are physically the same age. Ahem, power imbalance? Lack of professional behavior? Again, Midas isn't even a native of the Woods! I relate to him mostly in having a hard time connecting with new people, making friends and valuing them without automatically becoming annoyed every time they try to get close to me, and admiring people who are probably not worth it or who will be cold to me in the end. Midas may be the type to be aloof to warm people and those who seek him but so open hearted to the cold, distant people. (Which I can relate.) The way he spoke about Rafal even when he died was so painful to read and I think I cried because Midas deserved better than that. To admire and look up to someone who really cared for him and his safety.

Review #438: Parklife, Blur
In some ways this review is going to be like the antithesis to the one I wrote for Pulp’s Different Class. In that, this album features songs that are so important to British culture, and individually to my formative years, that I can’t ever be mad to hear them. However, unlike my ongoing and steadfast admiration for Pulp as a band, I have way more complicated feelings about Blur, and about this album in particular. Okay, so some context and education first. Blur had success in the UK with their debut album, Leisure, but had really dug themselves into a financial hole through poor management. They owed the taxman a lot of money. As such, they were essentially forced to go on a long, arduous tour of the US to promote their successful album. In theory this would be great. But it wasn’t great. They were touring tiny towns and venues that had never heard of them. The grunge scene had just exploded out of the Pacific Northwest and literally nobody Stateside had any fucks to give about Blur, British Music, or what they were doing on this tour. The band themselves have described the space and time immediately preceding the creation of Parklife as pretty bleak. Miserable. Oppressive. They felt backed into a corner, exhausted, downtrodden, underappreciated, and homesick.
Where they sort of lose me on this is where they express feeling as if they were shamed for being British and they were resistant to just create a record that adhered to the current trend of music. They returned to the UK with a concept in mind: a quintessentially British album, about British culture, that makes a statement: British music is a thing of its own, and it’s worth your time. I mean, I don’t disagree with that. I just fail to see how grunge being a popular genre at the time meant that they weren’t able to be proudly British, and proudly produce whatever music suited them. Artists make art for the art, and if someone likes it, that’s great. But they were young men at the time and I imagine egos and the lures of chart success influenced their feelings about it. You don’t get into a tabloid frenzied ongoing rift with the Gallagher brothers because you’re a really chill bunch of guys that only care about the music. There’s an irritating overtone of testosterone and national pride that has an icky vibe to it. It’s too easy for it to be co-opted. And it was! And it still is!
So let me just get the following points off my chest and then I’ll work my way through them:
1. Parklife is and was an important record in British music
2. It’s also not Blur’s strongest album by a BIG margin, but it’s managed to persist as somewhat of a defining album for them. I’m glad they shook it off, and we didn’t just get record after record of Parklife from them. That’s honestly how a lot of people would have done it and I can respect their commitment to art as a band: we’re going to do something different than what you just loved, and if you don’t like it that’s a you problem. People did like it.
3. Parklife also paved the way for an obnoxious marketing/PR ploy from the music industry surrounding British Indie/Rock artists, that created a ridiculous craze and wave that was surfed by bands ranging from incredible and deserving, to absolute dogshit. Ladies and gentleman, I give you: Britpop. If you were there you know what it was like, and you understand all the nuance and resentment surrounding it as a “genre”. We’ll get into this more later. In hindsight it all worked out okay and we live in a world where – at least to my knowledge – you can appreciate and criticize both Oasis and Blur for their talents and their fuck ups without it representing some massive class and cultural divide. This was absolutely not always the case and it was, for some reason, a really big deal, and it mattered to everyone, a lot. Blur or Oasis? I was 7 turning 8 years old at the height of this manufactured-turned-real rivalry, and it genuinely caused me stress. As a child! I loved them both. But I felt forced to choose. I chose Blur. I understand how ridiculous it sounds, but I wish I could go back in time and refuse to choose. It mattered, and it also really didn’t. They don’t sound similar enough to compare or compete? So why did we have to? But WE DID. It was on the news. It was the biggest thing going on at the time. It dominated the papers. Bookies were taking bets on who would be #1 between the two of them. Blur won that battle with Country House. I don’t think anybody won the war. I think everybody got bored, gave up, and went home.
So Blur kicked off Britpop with their return from this grinding US tour and they made a full blown concept album about being British. And it was good. But all of a sudden there was just this… Overwhelming influx of bands who were banking their success solely on this “being British”, thing. It had a look, it had a sound, it had a style, it had a location. The same thing happened with the Indie wave in the early/mid-2000s. It’s so annoying to me though. You end up just having to sift through a whole bunch of fucking garbage to find the stuff that is legit, and would be legit with or without the “scene”. Parklife is legit. It’s just responsible for the aftermath and onslaught of bullshit. Is that their fault? No, but they definitely participated in it all for a bit. There was a lot of great music that technically fell under the Britpop genre, but essentially looking back most of it isn’t Britpop – because that was just made up. It was just good music from various genres, and they all happened to be British artists. That’s not the same thing. It was just a music industry scheme and boy howdy did everyone buy-in.
The song Parklife, is pretty genius, still. Damon Albarn, unable to commit to the concept with a cockney accent, enlisted well-known British actor, Phil Daniels (of Quadrophenia fame) to deliver the lyrics. This was both creative and super novel. People went pretty nuts about it. They still do. It’s got the same pull as Common People. If you want to see an entire nation lose their shit over a song – you might stick on Parklife. It’s just deeply entrenched into the fabric of British culture and it’s as if it was from the moment it was released. It just is. I actually saw Parklife live at Reading Festival when I was 16 or 17, and they brought Phil Daniels out. The most memorable thing about the whole thing, was that Damon Albarn fell off the stage. I guess the most surprising thing about the wider record, is that you expect it to be more of Parklife the song. And it actually isn’t. It’s just a Blur record, and a not bad one at that.
It's just so weird how a regular album took on this entire life of its own, turned into a cultural phenomenon, and produced this era of music that for better or worse is part of history now. Some of the subsequent singles from subsequent albums honestly seem like they were more “Britpop” than a lot of the tracks on Parklife. Maybe they were running with it for sometime to bank on its success, but ultimately they grew tired of it too and changed directions. I’m glad.
I guess the other thing about Blur, is the individuals its made up of. They’ve been indie darlings forever. Graham Coxon was a nerdy little weirdo, he left and came back. I think Britpop almost killed him if I’m being honest. Damon Albarn was a pretty-faced front man and has gone on to produce some absolutely insane albums for other artists and with other bands. He’s got something, that’s for sure, but it’s not always good. Some ego and misogyny always sort of leaks out and it would make my life easier to enjoy his creative output if he just kept his mouth shut. He seems to have a problem playing nice with successful women and insists on tearing them down publicly, only to be forced to admit that he hasn’t actually worked with them, met them, talked to them, or even listened to the music that he is loudly criticizing. That’s fucking annoying, but, is also par for the course regarding male opinions being inexplicably important and accepted even absent of any actual valid perspective or input. Damon, you have a lot of great things to say with your music. That doesn’t mean you have to say something, about everything, all the time.
Alex James, floppy-haired and handsome bassist, for a time was the biggest darling of them all – attracting praise for being so quirky and unique by establishing a cheese farm. Over the years, I have come to suspect he’s really just hidden in plain sight and really what you get with him is a basic man, with basic opinions, who loves some attention. I can’t ever really quite put my finger on it with him but there’s something deeply off putting about his whole persona. I’ll just say it. Whatever image he puts out and however quirky and cool he makes himself out to be: he’s just a fucking Tory, man. With that comes everything else: classism, racism, misogyny and fucking over everyone worse off than you, so long as you get yours. But hey everyone, who cares right? He makes cheese! Isn’t that so weird and kooky? He’s gotta be a cool guy! It was this exact fucking line of thinking that allowed Boris Johnson to take advantage of the comedy panel show circuit for years and years and years, elevating his reputation among liberal young voters. Everyone thought Boris was a funny joke, so let’s vote for him! He goes from MP, to London Mayor, to high-ranking cabinet member, to the fucking PRIME MINISTER. And it wasn’t a funny joke then, was it? So let’s pay attention to the things people actually say and do, and not just the music that they make and the cheese they produce. The other guy in the band, whose name I can literally never remember – Dave Rowntree – he’s just the drummer, who brought nothing to the band visually, and was just sort of along for the ride. Seems like a nice enough guy, it’s just that nobody cares.
If you’re interested in making more sense of this review, I will recommend that you turn your attention to Netflix series This Is Pop which does a pretty decent overall rundown of Blur, Oasis, and the Britpop era. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty good, and I appreciate that it gives a voice to the women in that music scene at the time, who were treated like shit and had to deal with all of the masculine national pride shit that came along with it all. It’s pretty clear from listening to them: Oasis, literally didn’t give a shit – about anything – and that was pretty hilarious. Blur, despite being genuine talent with good music to offer, bought into the hype and acted like a bunch of pricks publicly. They were all pricks, it’s just some of them were more authentically pricks than others. Ha.
I guess all I can say is this: I love Blur, and I hate Blur. I don’t know that I’m inclined to agree with Parklife’s inclusion in the Rolling Stone Top 500, but I can also appreciate that I’m talking from the inside and the majority of listeners didn’t also absorb the cultural moment as it was happening. If you happened to be there, you know it was all kind of nonsense. It’s kind of wild watching documentaries or reading write-ups of a particular time in music that you were actually present for in real-time. Like how I imagine people who were at Woodstock, or when Bob Dylan went electric, or the original British Invasion of America with the Beatles. It was a whole thing, and if you were there, you remember.

'i came back to not bruise his ego' could also so easily be used against the creators who immediately dropped them
Like imagine i went to a sylvee meet&greet and she hugged me BOOM i could easily go on twitter and cry that she hugged me against my will, she didn't ask, assumed i was fine with it ect. Like? Absolutely not, take accountability for your own actions
People always want to be adults when it comes to the fun stuff like spending and earning miney, alcohol and drugs but immediately drop the adult act as soon as it comes teo the not fun stuff like apologizing, taking responsibility and communicating with people you dont like
It baffles me how twitter thinks the world works
i think at the end of the day while 18 year olds are not full grown adults who have all the responsibilities of one they're also not children who are incapable of making their own decisions and are free from any sort of responsibility or accountability or anything else if that makes sense. like yes she was drinking and that impaired her decision making but the decision to drink in the first place was originally her own and that's not something i see a lot of people talking about like there's tons of people treating her like and even calling her a little girl and that is just so . icky . like yuck . but at the same time yes she's young like do u get what i mean it's not the black and white issue that twitter is making it out to be
also "I came back to not bruise his ego" is just so . like she makes it clear that she didn't want to come across as uncomfortable or refuse his advances and to some degree i understand this because there are girls who outright reject a man and then end up dead later on like that is something that happens more frequently than you'd think but in this case like . idk i think on caiti's part there was just a much better way of attempting to resolve things later on like i think she did what she thought was best in the moment (and i can't say that i wouldn't have done the same if i was in that situation or something similar) but she entirely lost the plot when she went live that first time and insinuated that something worse had happened like does this make sense

To whom it may concern,
This pains me...
I know a lot of posts have been floating around the whole "system" of Tumblr.. i.e. the reblogs, likes, shares blah blah numbers. yeah.
And to start this off with, I don't care if you like my posts or reblog them.. this is not about me... I am saying this for the people that put a lot of time and effort into their content.. the people that push through this shit with blood, sweat, and tears... out of excitement to share their vision with people. the ones who are now feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and defeated from the lack of support that is given on this SOCIAL MEDIA platform, the ones who face dms of people attempting to control what they post, and how they post it.
first of all.... who the fuck are you to go into anybody's DMS and think that it's alright for you to BELIEVE you have any power here?
If you don't like something... move. on. Don't follow them. Don't interact with them. that's it!... the audacity, the fucking ego trips some of these people are on, it's unbelievable... get a life, read a book, drink some tea, masturbate... do something other than genuinely making someone feel like shit on a daily bases...
I am not saying you have to be a kiss-ass to everyone... a matter of fact. DO NOT. don't be fake. but if you like something why not tell them? SHARE IT! In this day and age when everyone has so much to say about everything else... you have nothing to say for someone who shares a common interest with you? when did everyone forget to support each other? has the world made you that cold?
I am beginning to see many content creators that I adore so much... drop off all social media (slow down, quiet down.. fade off) platforms due to the lack of support and the hate.... the hate... Stealing from each other, not just content but ideas too... belittling each other, asking people for stuff and not even having the common decency to say thank you or share what you have been gifted by another creator... talking behind each other backs, the envy, the stupid made up rule of "if you like and share one of my posts I'll do the same hehe" *rolling my eyes* This is called a community for a reason... but by the looks of it we are more divided than together... The fact that I read posts of people talking about how "stressed the fuck out" over this they are, or "Am I the problem?" is upsetting...
This is supposed to be fun... and for those of you who say "Well, they are just insecure, don't worry about the numbers, it's about you" go fuck yourself. because you probably get the likes and reblogs, who don't give to their community at all.. just shove that up your ass. respectfully -clears throat- excuse me that was rude... but I meant it. But it's supposed to be fun... there should be no malicious intent here... no undermining, no masterminding the system. what the fuck even? anyway... there should be none of that. Nobody should have to feel like that... ESPACIALLY HERE. did you all forget that we are a bunch of fucking NERDS! cool nerds. But A bunch of fucking nerds playing dress up and storytellers and builders and photographers in a goddamn video game. so what about someone is better than you. and? Did you forget that's how you get better?
[Yeah yeah fight me, bite me, whatever me about the whole nerds shit. It's a compliment in my eyes. I love being a fucking nerd.]
being prideful has its perks but it can also turn ugly real quick if used wrong...
I posted this for a reason so if you have words you want to say to me or just in general by all means.
if you disliked my post and feel icky by me now.. you can unfollow me.. because I will not ever NOT speak my mind, and this generally hurts me... because these people I see fading away... are fucking great people. These genuine people just want to play a game, share the content of that game, and tell you about themselves... Just. like. you.
I just wish people were nicer to each other...
some hippy dippy shit but I am one.
peace and love
