#like they make u FORGET there is a gap like if I've never heard of sf9 & saw them perform I wouldn't think they were incomplete at all

[seokwoosmole]

Pro tip for any fantasy still recovering from the reality of this whole sf8 situation: what you DONT want to do is turn on YouTube at 4am and watch their entire Kpop Nation Warsaw performance, followed up by the music show performances of the songs they sang, and finish up by watching the video where they get their first win.

Consequence: Bawling your eyes out over a bowl of Count Chocula

No, I don't speak from experience. Absolutely not...Just giving sound advice.

[simpliao]

i know u wrote ‘let you break my heart again’ quite a while ago but it would b so cool if u wrote a part two where schlatt wonders why y/n had stopped attempting to hang out with him and ect and it ends in fluff maybe?

good person at heart ; (irl) schlatt x reader

summary : we do bad things even if at heart we're good people.

info : angst hehe, (kinda) cheating, semi-fluff (not really), smoking, disordered eating, hospital, depressive inner monologue,

a/n : I don't know if I'm gonna post after this but I hope this feeds you guys for the next handful of months ! I know the request was for it to be more fluffy... and sweet. but because of what this is based off of I couldn't do that. Thank you so much for 200+ followers even if I literally have not posted since last year. I love you guys, pro-tip, never fall in love.

"So, next week same time?"

"Yeah, sure. See you then."

Routine, as it's become. Another woman to pass through his life, momentarily fulfil selfish desires, to have nameless faces leave to come again like clockwork. Distantly he could make out her footsteps, and the almost silent opening and shutting of his front door. Letting eyelids fall and leaning back to rest against the bed frame, a heavy sigh left his lips. When did it get this bad? When was the last time he'd felt... Whole.

Since Y/n, likely. Taking in another inhale of heavy smoke, lips clenched between the cigarette twitched at the thought of her. So... Damn sweet. Thinking about her, knowing how she'd react to seeing him like this, a mess, had him practically spit out the smoke. Putting it out carelessly at the ashtray that sat by his side.

So real. Unbelievable how real she felt, unlike any of the other women he's kept around him. Kept for a night, if kept is an appropriate word at all. They were blurs that served as gaps in his memory, hours if them amounted to no more than a handful of fuzzy colours and lights. That woman, no, who once was his woman he couldn't for the life of him forget a second in her arms, of her in his life.

So vividly he could make out hazy mornings of watching her chest rise and fall as her relaxed features radiated in the warm luster from early rays. Almost as serene as the specs of dust that wafted the air only visible by yellow dawn. Time with her was so eventful, so easy to find yourself in the present moment and just feel... In love.

But that was the fear wasn't it? Breaking out of thoughts his eyes fell to his illuminated phone, a notification. Curious, it was Ted. He was in town at the moment, but as far as he was concerned he was out with Shae... Shit, had he forgotten more plans today? This wouldn't be the first time.

'Jeremiah Schlatt call me back as soon as possible.'

That, accompanied with an hour's worth of missed calls, had his back straighten and rush of energy flood his body. Wasting no time dealing back, it couldn't have been more than three rings before the phone was picked up.

"Where the hell are you? I've been calling you for an hour– this is..!" His voice gruff and loud enough to resonate in his ears, consequently contributing to the growing of a dull pain within his frontal lobe. "I'm at home, sorry. Did we have plans today?" There was murmuring following his question, two voices discussing in a much softer, uneasy tone from what he could make out.

"Jesus, you sound out of it. Get some sleep I'll call you back tomorrow morning." There was the overly worrisome Ted he was more accustomed to, his voice returning to the phone with a complete one-eighty of tones. It practically sent him into whiplash, a twinge in his gut telling him something wasn't quite right. "Ted, what the fuck is going on? You don't just call people like that, where are you?" Hesitation highlighted the silence, he could practically hear him gulp as a reassuring female voice was at his side.

"I'm with Shae and..." His voice caught up in his chest, his girlfriend's murmurings being heard from the other end of the line even if unintelligible. "...We're at the hospital on 51st Street." I could feel my heart sink in my chest, "I'm on my way."

"Wait, wait, wait..!" He cleared his throat and halted in his steps, half naked and feeling the chill of the room after throwing himself out of bed. "...neither me or Shae are sick. I, I figured you had the right to know what's going on, but it's a delicate situation. I don't think it's smart for you to just show up out of the blue–" "Ted, what the fuck is going on?"

A breath was drawn, and the following words made it seem like his whole world had fallen apart. "It's Y/n. She just... Collapsed. She hasn't been eating I just... I didn't know who to call she's still stubborn but I don't think–" "I'm on my way." Before any protests could have been made the phone was hung up and the previously languid Schlatt was dashing round the place for his misplaced articles of clothing and his car keys.

The rest was a blur, with a conscious heavy with worry and thoughts centred around only her there were only flashes of memory of driving to the previously mentioned hospital (how he remembered he didn't know in that state); his brain was on autopilot.

And yet someway, somehow, he blinked and before him was the woman he once (and likely still) adored. Her skin paler than her usual tone, sunken and sullen. Her head tilted to the side, gaze pivoted towards the window. Her monotonous heart rate was barely audible, it was like he was underwater. Throat dry, neither said a word, his palms sweaty and pulse feeling as if it could burst his veins open.

"Y/n..." His voice low, knowing he had no place here, not after everything. He stood closer to the door than her, she seemed tense with him being there and he wasn't exactly relaxed either. Just as he spoke those words, he could visibly see her grip at her arms slightly tighter, her body at a slight tremble he recognized she would do before she cried. He hesitated to say anything else if his voice alone had already done so much.

"..what are you doing here..?" Her head slowly spun towards him, fully in view he could see just how worn down and tired she appeared. She was frail, eyes once filled with so much life now dreary with eyelids relaxed and harsh shadows under them; tears brimming and threatening to fall. Chapped lips with every lethargic movement seemed as if they were so heavy, as if she struggled to even open them. "...I heard. You..." Schlatt hesitated on his words, a little lost to find them.

"Save it." Whatever force she had left she used it to spit out those words, "I'm alright..." "Obviously not." He let out softly, carefully making his way over to sit at the chair by the foot of the hospital bed. "I just..." "Why did you come here?" Her voice strained asked with such desperation, confusion evident with tears ever present. He took a breath, "I came because I still care." And that was what it took to cause the surface tension to break and tears fully roll down her cheeks, unable to even manage reaching to wipe them away. "You came to lie to me." She choked out between broken sobs, he held such a gentle, caring look while she fought to not completely break down into ugly crying.

"No, no I didn't–" "cause if you cared I wouldn't be feeling this way." Her words spoke such conviction, eyes once saddened had an edge of power. The wrath and justified venom dripping from her words was enough to have the air catch in Schlatt's chest.

"You're right." He wouldn't deny it, everything that's happened up till now was a result of his own selfishness, never having the slightest thought about her. "I'm not here to make things right between us."

"...then..?"

"Y/n, I'm sorry." His head quickly dipped downwards, a prolonged pause was taken before a sharp inhale could be heard. "I'm not worth destroying yourself over." He didn't dare raise his gaze, knowing he'd be heartbroken at the sight that would lay before him.

"...why wasn't I enough for you..?" Hiccups between cries tearing at his heart, he clenched his teeth and shut his eyes tight. "You were more than I could have ever imagined." "I'm not... I couldn't be... I've seen the women you're around now..."

"And yet you're more beautiful then all of them." "...then why have you been so... cold?"

Cold, and cold was what he meant to be; pushing her away to save himself. Yes, she was too real; just like every other person he kept too close. One by one, they all did what he did to her: disappear.

He wanted so desperately to explain himself. Tell her stories of how other lovers had done a similarly cruel trick, family issues, people that were supposed to be there for him to rely on... But he couldn't. He was as bad as them, he hurt her tooth's extent because he couldn't handle commitment or trust.

She was the victim, no doubt in anyone's mind. Who was he to make this all about himself?

"I'm just not a relationship kind of guy, I... I should of said something, and for that I'm sorry. But please, please don't beat yourself up about this. If what we were is what's causing this."

She deserved to thrive, not to be weighed down by him.

At heart he was a good person, even if his actions didn't show as much. She didn't need to know, and he wasn't ready to get better.

IM BACKKKKKK

Bestie, ateez ain't making it easy for me to live especially seonghwa. 😮‍💨 BCZ THOSE LONG HAIR AND THOSE POOL PICTURES AGHHHHHHHH GOD! Anyways, about my life 😃, so, i am taking like a drop year...i obviously had to as you know my whole situation BUT I'll be doing some certificate courses and you know learning something skill based while i...do a job, yes you heard tht right😞 I GOTTA MAKE SOME MONEYYY and honestly I've cancelled out going abroad for a few years at least, I'll solely would be focusing on living here and...yeah. I'm not completely giving up, but, focusing on some other things. Mhm. The only prblm is tht my mum thinks I'm, wasting a year and considering how much of an overthinker she is, she's worrying about what others would say and Quite honestly I don't give a shit...the universe wanted me to do this...like this is my life and it's going on how it was planned so I don't see why I should be bothered by a few relatives 🙄

And other than that I HV BEEN OBSESSED WITH CHALEYA 😭 like I sing tht song every 3 seconds fr i can't. And I've been getting obsessed with oneus, their new single baila conmigo 😮‍💨 oh my lord. Another controversial thing...i didn't like jungkook's new single 3D ..... like...what was even the point?? Bro- and i hv no idea who jack Harlow is..I've seen people obsessing over him BUT THT RAP 😭 NAUR THT DIDN'T DO IT FOR ME. and honestly, it's so weird how jungkook's basically singing abt doing the deed every damn time, like ok boi I get it, and I liked seven obviously BUT I HOPE HIS ALBUM DOESN'T HV EVERY SONG IN IT LIKE THIS!

Ok what're your opinions about this whole lisa situation tho? Her performance at tht one r-rated dance thingy? Honestly, ok hear me out, idfc what lisa or Jennie anyone does in general, it was her choice she did it...and people keep hating on her bcz tht what people do...what I want to say, is what if it was a bg member...like what if it was jk or taehyung doing something like this? I bet all these girls would go crazy and be obsessed over it or something like, "omg they're breaking the kpop standard" i genuinely despise this double standard thing.

Ok rmr i told you my cousin was getting married HER WEDDING IS SET IN JANUARY 😭 AND I'M THINKING ABT MY DRESSES AND ALL. And I've been a little crazy abt traditional and ethnic clothes rlly, like yesterday me and my mum were acting like besties on a girl's night fr, we took out so many clothes and tried em in, she made me wear a saree 😭 AND IT LOOKED SO GOOD LOKE SAREE TRULY GIVES AN ELEGANT AND RICH LOOK, i felt like those 1920s rich mistresses. I mostly wear Western clothing, like only ever rarely, you'll find me wearing a suit or something similar but as I'm growing up my feminine energy keeps on blossoming so i def wanna wear a suit.

Can you imagine it will be my first ever suit...my younger cousins hv worn those things so many times and I'm making my new one, progress ig.

But yeah and no my mackenyu obsession is not dying down 😃. OH ALSO ITS HOODIE SEASON FINALLY THE ONLY THING I LOKE ABT WINTERS! And forget about the present seonghwa...THE BABY SEONGHWA 😭😭 HES SO CUTE LOOL AT THOSE CHEEKS I WANNA NOM NOM 😭

omg not the what will others say, the brown parents and the “log kya kahenge” will NEVER leave their minds god damnit,,, tell ur mom gap years r a good decision 😭😭😭 !!!!! travel, live a little and idk start a small business or a job! no ur right, if it turned out this way it means it’s meant to be done this way <3 FUCK YOUR RELATIVES RESPECTFULLY i can’t believe it’s still the same mindset in every brown parent’s mind 😭😭

STOPPPP I HWVE BEEN TOO I WAS JUST HUMMING TO IT AND DOING THE DANCE STEP (have not watched jawan yet!) SUCH A CATCHY SONG???? SRK DOING IT AGAIN,,, omg oneus ive not heard abt them in a WHILE

ooooo ive only heard the part that replays on ig = the chorus so in that sense i grew to like it ive been doing the dance to it that “u know how i like it girrrrlll” part kdvwmcjclikc I DIDNT LISTEN TO JACKS PWRT IM AFRAID ITLL RUIN IT FOR ME FBWKDJKW LMFAOOOO honestly i don’t mind,, i do hope his album has lil different genres, pop, dance, r&b, reggaeton etc excited for it actually!!

hmm so i get the whole “ur a kpop idol pls maintain a image” but honestly it’s not that bad??? it’s a creative choice and it’s a form of dance that’s on the more provocative side?? but u know what i do dislike, those toilets they have in the men’s washroom at crazy house that are a WOMENS MOUTH STRUCTURE. if it’s seen as an empowering thing, i completely disagree with it

but again, idk the issue but i also get why knetizens r talking abt it bc asia is quite conservative to these things so they find it weird and all and prefer to keep it under wraps UNLIKE THEIR MEN THAT GO SEE IT SO FJWKDJKW ur right,, if any other man did it (they literally do it w the stage outfits some of them wear) they’d get 100k likes and praises but when it’s blackpink and blackpink esp it’s suddenly a big controversy

[anotherday-anothergay]

How I'm rewiring my brain about this not being the end, a list:

1. "But Jodie looked so sad on the last day and also the interviews"

Okay? They told everyone it's the last ep. so that everyone reacts to it like us, then some time after Pwb (if we so want to mirror the old episodes👀 and end how it started) or some mastermind gets the old crew together, none of these silvias and so on and they shoot it OKAY

(i shouldn't have started with the craziest one BUT stick with me)

2. Even if this didn't happen now they basically have the episode written, they got dragged not just by us but by publications, other writers, Jodie and Sandra are so suspiciously silent about the end of the show that THEY LED AND WON AWARDS OVER, like.. this end benefits no one

3. All the plot holes this season, all the characters archs, like.. what was the point of all that (Kennys death, Konstantins letter, Carolyns point and dare?? Pam?? The Twelve?? (that i keep forgetting to even mention) ?? Villanelle being weaponless and unprotected on the deck?? The gap between s3 and s4??

4. The Carolyn spin-off?? But it's young Carolyn from what I've heard, do they think we're just gonna hate watch it??

5. Alienating their base viewers, how do they think people are gonna re-stream it now? (Homophobia (google it))

6. As people have mentioned, if they've had the kiss episode on Lesbian Visibility Day and the mom episode on Mothers day, a Villajesus return ON FREAKING EASTER - AND - BEING THE 33TH EPISODE since we're so into religion/rebirth/ressurection (RE-DO) this season?? Iconic.

7. Point 6. and Villanelle's arch that she wants to do better, Eve's arch that V is the only one who gets her. Like cmon, L*ura, u gotta be kidding us

8. It's 2022.

9. Even if an episode doesn't happen I'm sure someone's gonna ask Jodie about the ending and she's gonna give a hint of an ambiguous ending (UNLIKE THE WR*TERS)

10. I know some of yall pretend the ep ended on minute 38 which is a good cop out too, not me though, i rewatched that shit many times, forward and backwards, frame by frame, pixel by pixel, to look for signs of vitality so im going the faking-her-death route.

11. Which.. is HOW IT'S IN THE BOOKS. THE 👏 OFFICIAL 👏 BOOKS 👏 THAT THE SHOW WAS BASED ON

12. If they redeem themselves Luke sold some books in the meantime, people stop hating them, everyone wins. If they dont - everyone loses.

13. I can't comprehend how a show this witty and aware is just gonna throw it all away, it doesn't make sense.

14. (personal, with my clown dress on tonight) Im gonna conspire with the universe that it doesn't end like this, I've never cared about a show this much, they're clowning us but im gonna clown them harder, ME AND THIS SHOW ARE ENDING UP ALONE IN A ROOM TOGETHER! (not one with padded walls hopefully😭)

15. (also personal) I'm not really always optimistic but I've settled my mind about this case, I'm not going back to how i felt on sunday and monday. I've seen (good) things happening irl that if you told me about some years ago i would've laughed or sobbed so if it's "just fiction" then it's even easier to fix it. FIX IT!!!

16. THE PHYSICS?? OF THE SHOOTING SCENE?? GAYS DID MATH!

Either way I'm glad about the memes and the theories and the community around it, it made this week easier now after how it started.

I sure will add more to the list if i start having doubts again, EVERYTHING'S FINE

[realtalk-princeton]

I'm in the math sequence for non-majors but I've recently found out that I really really like math. I'm not some Olympiad whiz and that makes me a bit nervous to pursue a math major. Is the major doable if I just put the time in as a mundane college student?

Response from Latios: first: I am so so happy to hear you discovered you love math!!!! math is the best thing in the world <33 second: YES, it is possible to succeed as a math major without having done math contests, summer programs, etc before! I know a couple successful math majors this is true of! However it will not be easy: the math department is really terribly structured (in terms of course progression, getting u ready for jsems/thesis) for majors starting in MAT 1/20X. after doing 201/2, you still might want to take 215/6, and though there are a few 300 classes you could take (combinatorics, graph theory), you probably won't be taking core classes like 345, Stein sequence until soph spring/junior fall and then junior independent work is starting. don't get me wrong, pretty much everyone in the department is really nice, and most people will very happily help u if u have a math question. no one will ever tell you your question was dumb/bad and office hours are generally v good, the profs really do want you to succeed. (edit: upon talking with a math friend, “no one will tell you to your face your q is dumb” is correct, but people might imply/say “that’s trivial” or “just do [x] lol” and that can really suck. there is literally no such thing as a dumb math question, never forget this, but the way some people talk can still make you feel dumb. if you can, you should give zero fucks about such people’s opinion (but this is far easier said than done and is very vague/not good advice). there are absolutely people who will talk about math in a welcoming and comfy way but it might take some time to find them.) but it can feel really intimidating, it might seem everyone else is cleverer or gets things more quickly or has so much more experience than you so it's completely understandable to be nervous about this! know that cleverness/good intuition about math is not an innate trait or a thing where you have it or you don't: the olympiad whizzes' and co head starts right now are *mostly* a product of having the luck and the resources/privilege to have started math early. also, this is the time when their head starts seem most apparent: as you take more math and work at developing intuition and cleverness (and again this comes from study and practice: in math, you see certain patterns/techniques repeatedly until using it becomes intuition/instinct, which seems like cleverness to those who haven't seen it before), you'll find the gap decreases. but if you genuinely love math and are willing to spend work and time on it, there is no reason you can't succeed as a math major if you want to! also, it's totally okay if you decide not to. it is false that if you *really* love math then you'll be a math major, it is hard work in not the most welcoming or chill department. depending on what sort of math most interests you, you can do what you love while majoring in COS (a department that's better at welcoming people who don't have past experience) or even perhaps orfe/physics (don't know/haven't heard anything about orfe/physics dept/their climates and course structure, sorry). but no matter what you decide to major in, please remember to always find joy in math and to do it precisely because you like it and it makes you happy.
