#like yes sure fine this is a valid complaint

[evil-mcytblrconfessions]

it kind of pisses me off when confession blogs add their thoughts in the tags of posts that really don't need it. like this isn't mcyt specific but like. i noticed it a lot here

find a different blog to read then. i just like yapping. if you dont want potential commentary commentary then a) dont submit confessions here, b) dont read the tags! idc

I'm so tired of people telling those of us who are upset about the LA atla remake that we are "being too dramatic" or are just "finding things to be upset about". We are allowed to be upset that something that we love so dearly has been butchered, AGAIN. If you liked it, then that's your personal opinion, but don't sit here and tell those of us who didn't that we're the problem.

I personally think the CGI, costumes, and sets all look terrible. None of it is immersive. Sure, it LOOKS like atla, but it doesn't FEEL like atla. The heart of the og is gone, and people are allowed to be upset about this. They've altered characters to the point that they aren't the character anymore (looking at you Aang and Katara), which is a huge upset for me personally because Katara is one of my favorite characters ever. So watching her be turned into someone meek and docile is more than a slap to the face. Not to mention them removing her as the narrator as if Bryke themselves didn't state that Katara is the person the story is being told through. And before you start telling me that Aang is the same. No, he isn't. Major parts of his development through season 1 (him coming to terms with the fact that he's the avatar and embracing that role, and him also accepting the fact that he RAN AWAY and how he is never going to do that again, which is also pivotal to his character later on) are completely removed. And don't even get me started on what they did to Kataang. Regardless of whether you ship them or not, those 2 are deeply connected to one another from the start, and their relationship is a big part of the show, so to see that butchered is heartbreaking for me.

This isn't just about them "making some changes" or it not being a 1:1 adaptation. I'm fine with adaptations that aren't 1:1. What I'm upset about is that the changes they are making are VITAL changes to characters and dynamics between characters. They're rushing through the plot and condensing the story (and I will scream if I hear one more person say that it's because they couldn't fit it all in with their runtime. The runtime is an HOUR LONGER than the og, so yes, they did have the time). The changes they are making make it evident that they do not understand the og show, and if you don't feel like that, fine, once again, that's YOUR opinion, just as this is MY opinion. So stop telling us we have no right to be upset and that we just want to hate everything. That's not true. What is true is that we are expressing valid complaints about another bad adaptation of something dear to us.

Edit: If you also come at people who are upset bc they were expecting a faithful adaptation and didn't get it bc "its not supposed to be the cartoon," you're missing the whole point. An adaptation is ADAPTING SOMETHING from one medium to the other, not rewriting it. "Yall expected it to be just like the cartoon." No, I expected a FAITHFUL ADAPTATION and was met with poorly written fanfiction.

thoughts on peggy carter

i think my biggest issue with peggy carter is marvel is trying to push agendas and pander to audiences as a cop out for formulating a dynamic character. it's obvious she's supposed to be a feminist icon. that's totally cool. i appreciated that as a kid, since i was sick of women being portrayed as weak. the way i see it, peggy suffers from weak portrayal, not portrayal that she's weak.

--

before the peggy fans comment/reblog, "omg not another stucky blog posting peggy hate. leave her alone!!" i don't hate peggy, I just want a clearer picture of who she is. i enjoyed her in the mcu but i wish marvel would've given her justice within the writing. this isn't hate for hayley atwell either. she did really good in her acting, enough so i watched more movies with her in it intentionally.

--

peggy always read to me as a half-developed side character -- no matter if she's the main character. my one of my biggest complaints is that she seems to have little to no motive. motive is what drives people and your main character having consistently unclear motives is sloppy writing.

helping steve? sure, she's his commanding officer and she seemed to like him.

"win the war"? well sure, that was a lot of other people's motives in ww2. why did she even join the war anyways? what convinced her to sign up? she didn't have to, she could've done other work. what was so compelling about the war to her?

for the what if episode: why'd she choose to take the super serum?

my point here is: there are too many points where one questions why she did ___ that could have been better defined (esp in the what if series).

--

marvel can make her much more interesting (and to me appealing) character by not putting her in comparison to steve. they would be forced to solidify her character instead of wimping out and saying "well she's the love interest." I'm not saying that she can't have both a relationship and be a strong woman - many women have/are both. however, when your entire personality depends on your relationship to one person, it's not very healthy or wise.

the concept of marvel pushing for steve and peggy's relationship is fine, that's how romance novels are made. but the lax follow-through on character development removes my interest for the ship. how good romance novels bring interest to each character is by establishing them. they also used peggy as way to pander for chris evans himself - she was an easy way to get steve rogers out of upcoming plot lines. (side note: chris evans is totally justified in not wanting to work for marvel anymore, they just should've handled his character's ending less sloppily)

as for the ship - i would see more value in the steve x peggy ship if i could tell what type of person peggy is. especially when you take away steve. i see value and interest in steve and bucky because, even though bucky was made as a sidekick to steve, he has a strong character. would i want to see him even more fleshed out? yeah, ofc. would i say he's more fleshed out than peggy? yes, because in one movie you can tell who bucky is and why he's doing things. i see why people ship steve and peggy, and I see why people ship steve and bucky. both stances are valid.

i haven't seen it yet nor i do know if i will watch it due to personal time and budget constraints, but i hope that the agent carter series strengthens her character.

ultimately, peggy is the victim of poor and sexist writing.

(note:: this is my personal opinion & analysis, based on the first two cap movies and the what if series. im not speaking for anyone but myself. if you feel like her character is rich enough and you're satisfied by her portrayals, that's great, I just wanted to share my stance. again, i don't hate peggy, I just want a clearer picture of who she is and why she does what she does)

[meatriarch]

yknow im probably going to sound a bit overdramatic for a moment with this sorry but,

ive said like two lore streams ago or w/e that im not going to let myself get as heated as i did at the start with how gun's been handling ( read : forgetting she exists ) maria all this time bc at this point i consider my portrayal of her an oc, as i essentially feel across the board with my other texas muses frankly but like.

i do think, while i was obviously thrilled to no end that they announced maria & she was playable etc, i do think the execution of her in-game really sincerely disappointed and pissed me off so badly. like yes end of the day shes a bunch of pixels etc etc whatever sure but its like. genuine frustration at how absolutely sidelined she has been since day one. and i know theres plenty of valid arguments for other characters receiving similar treatment ( ie. sonny ) in a variety of ways, and i do get the angle of maria initially serving as a haunting of the narrative, haunting her friends and sister and being more of that sort of invisible presence rather than physically there in the moment like they all are - but its severely disappointing to see just how little they give a shit about her, both in lore & in gameplay etc.

model-wise? shes completely fine i adore how she looks and everything shes beautiful shes adorable shes exactly as babygirl as i hoped and imagined her to be & look. but shes otherwise both so underwhelming and so borderline useless ( being generous ) and her ability is just the most uncreative pointless thing i feel they could have thought to give her. like. theres so many pieces i can rip apart for just that alone but i dont wanna yap for an eternity lmao

i just wish they gave an ounce of a shit about her. and like sure yes they could easily alter things or add on things on for her in the future etc. sure, yeah, fine and all but its just... i dont think im going to forget how sloppily put together they made her. or how they've consistently forgotten & disrespected her all these months. and with them branching away from her & the friendgroups' story into other victims' as time passes, their already sheer-ass attention spans are only going to grow thinner across the rosters and i guess in my eyes theyre just never going to make up for any of how they treated her character. and like yes thats fine bc i & others will do her infinitely better justice than they ever will but its still just like... its still disappointing.

like so much went wrong with that release day that i think i was just trying to cling onto the excitement of her just being playable but everything else, certain other complaints etc i wont get into, made me think that disappointment in how she was executed was an exaggeration on my part bc im too attached to her lmao and so i kinda just internalized the disappointment i think but it really is just like man. i feel like ive lowkey been in mourning of her since she was released. no faith at all that they are ever going to give her an ounce of dignity outside of how her model looks.

and again. i know i and the fandom do her infinitely more justice than they ever will at this point and that fact alone does make up for this all, i just wish she was remotely fun to play as and didnt feel like such a slapped together, zero-thought, near copy-paste non-asset in-game. i play her bc i love her but she also just makes me fucking sad LMAO

[sapphic-aroace]

I recently realized that I may be an oriented aroace(pan oriented aroace).

My life has been very messy, as I was not well educated about sexuality and gender, and I had unexplainable feelings for many people.

me in the past when I might have felt an aesthetic attraction: from "What the-" to "I see, this must be a crush!" to.

Past me, who may have felt alterous attraction: "is this a - true - crush? Wait, then what was that?"

Past me who may have experienced squish: "This is crush!? Again!? No, no, this is really a mistake. Because we're just friends..."

(Yes, I internalized fucking heteronormativity and fucking amatonormativity🤢)

I learned superficially about aroace: "What were those things? I sometimes wonder, and sometimes I can relate to the experiences of aroaces, but if I called myself an aroace, I would definitely get complaints from all kinds of people"

Me, who finally began to recognize the diversity of aroaces and learned about tertiary attractions: "Oh, so attractions don't have to be only romantic or sexual attractions?! I don't think that those things in my past fall into those two categories! Then maybe I can recognize that I am an aroace! tertiary attraction finally gave me a name for what I was feeling🥲︎"

Me on another day: "there is no way I can call myself an aroace. Because in the past I was... That behavior...were full of alloalloeness..."

(But when I found the label for oriented aroace and the description of the tertiary attractions, all I know for sure is that I felt at peace. I wanted to exclaim, "I finally found this place!"... is all I can say now)

...Even now, I often wonder if I am crazy, or if my existence is disloyal to the LGBTQ+ community and other aspec people.

Do you ever feel that way? When you do, how do you get out of it?

I apologize for the length of the sentence, and I am not very good at English, so I apologize if my writing is not correct🙏

hello!

don't you worry about your English, I understood every word! and English is not my first language either, you're fine 😉

I'd like to start with saying your experiences are entirely valid and that many LGBTQ+ people have been where you are or are still at the same point.

Of course, there are LGBTQ+ people who knew really early that they were not cishet, but many others doubted/are doubting that they were/are really trans, gay, lesbian or bi; aspec as well. feeling like they're mistaken. or can't admit to themselves they're not cishet. you're far from the only one and I can assure you that your experiences are in no way disloyal to any members of the LGBTQ+ community.

As for my own experiences, I can tell you I have dealt with some of what you're feeling.

I am not confused anymore about my attraction, but I have been for the longest time.

it took me many years after I learned about asexuality to admit I was indeed ace and not a late bloomer. while I knew, as soon as I discovered the label, that I was in fact ace, I refused to admit I wasn't "normal". I wanted to be like everyone else.

I still read a lot about acespec people talking about their experiences even though I was in denial, because, deep down I knew I was ace as I said.

I didn't learn about aromanticism at the same time, I discovered it existed many months later, at least.

and I didn't believe that was me. even if I had yet to experience romantic attraction, I wanted to have a girlfriend, so that couldn't be me.

like you, I've dealt with internalized aphobia. I still struggle with it sometimes, but less and less so as time passes and I accept myself more and more.

and like you, I finally started to accept my aromanticism when I learned about oriented aroace and tertiary attraction.

I understood I could still find women attractive in different ways. my feelings were making sense. and others related. it was a relief.

I would also add that even if you believe your past behavior was alloromantic and/or allosexual, it doesn't mean you are not aroace. your struggles with internalized aphobia may have been the reason for this perception, or maybe you've just grown and changed, it can happen.

Finally, I would advise reading about other aroace experiences, especially oriented aroace ones, since it's the label that feels right to you. I think it can definitely help you realize that many people have indeed been or are still questioning and doubting, that you're not alone and that you're feelings are valid. it has helped me a lot.

I would also like to thank you for sharing your experiences, I think it will definitely help others that are looking to understand themselves and have similar feelings to yours.

EarthSpark Season 2 Part 1 Episode 9, 10 and 11 reactions!

O SHIT NIGHTSHADE

aaaand they're fine

I love these kids man

not sure which direction this episode is going

this is good use of levels I've noticed the animators struggling to get everyone in the same shot when they're such different heights sometimes

I always appreciate it when girls are allowed to be as dumb and chaotic as boys lol

"You're braver than Thrash" Mo everyone's braver than Thrash

UH OH

I like the cuts between Alex's and Dot's dancing to Mo and Hashtag's life or death struggle, something something cinematic parallels

oooooh we're finally gonna answer some questions huh

here comes trouble 👀

TITAN

I definitely prefer her design to Quintus Prime's. petition to give more robots wrinkles

she just straight up ignored Mo's question lmao

ohoho I thought this might happen, the finale being a parallel to episode 1 i mean

Shockwave and Starscream both have a point tbf

YES THE GANG'S ALL HERE

ugh again I just don't think we got enough time with Spitfire, or the time could've been used better at least

o? Shockwave? what are u doing my guy

STARSCREAM YOU LITTLE BITCH (affectionate)

I can't believe the Terrans are fucking dead (they're not lmao)

omg hi Fluffy Ears

Mo still doing her homework lol

ohhh this is where the child killer allegations are from i see. can't say i didn't see this coming tbh. anyway I'm sure they're fine (<- lying)

murder aside this rocks actually

I just. I understand all the complaints about Starscream's characterisation but he just feels so much more natural as a villain I'm sorry!

god i love titans

11th hour superpowers let's go!

rip emberstone

so that's it... for now! I kept forgetting this is the mid season finale lol

I'll write a separate post with my final thoughts but over all I had a good time! I think a lot of the criticisms are very valid but it also wasn't nearly as bad as some people are saying. Just not as good as season 1

[kosegruppaa]

*head in hands* may I hear your hot takes about GO and Neil G.? I'm very curious!!

hehe, not sure how hot they truly are? i don't think neil gaiman is a raging homophobe or anytihing. and i like a lot of his writing. i love aziracrow, especially show!aziracrow and i like the show itself well enough too

BUT

i just find it annoying how he was like 'you're interpretation is your interpretation :) but you are making stuff up' for a very long time about them, and then when the show came out he would say things like 'it's a love story, yes' but get pedantic about calling it gay because they are angels and sexless beings (never mind that the entire show is based on them loving earth and humanity - which they have done through more or less living as human men specifically, for 6000 years).

which is all fine and dandy, a story can have queer coding and sub-text without being queerbait. but then you cannot also be hailed as writing the best queer rep of our time. this is mostly a complaint against fans, like if people were in any way discussing it, you could get accused of being ace-phobic or not believing in non-binary people or whatever (and those are also valid readings of the show for sure - but certainly not very established in text. neil gaiman's socials supports some of these readings. but honestly, i don't care about at that much, like i thought we agreed that that type of word of god rep was bs when jkr was doing it?)

he's basically historically been somewhat 'no homo' about it all, but in the most annoying way possible. all the while people jump on people's throats if they don't act like it is canon confirmed queer (like e.g. ofmd) (all this is pre-s2, obviously)

and the newest stuff is this:

which is so silly to me. "the homophobia is perhaps something you brought to the scene yourself"??? why would you discourage readings that are deeper than surface level? how can you write someone saying to a male presenting angel "your boyfriend in the dark glasses" in that way and not realise it will come accross as having a homophobic undertone? are you so separated from the reality of homophobia??? also you are now writing a CANON queer relationship (no matter if we read them as men or non-binary or completely removed from any kind of human concept of gender - the fact that they mostly present and are acted by men is significant imo though) and insist that reading deeper into queerness and its links with heaven & hell & religion etc. i just don't get it. even if you aren't going to delve into it on the show... this respons is so dumb to me. like is he scared of having homophobia in his show??? i do not get it!!!

BUT i adore aziracrow as a ship and i think michael sheen and david tennant do a stellar job in it! and i do enjoy a lot of the writing as well, of course. i like a lot of the stuff he does both on this show and otherwise. but i will never kiss his ass like some people do on here, and i will make fun of him for all the loser takes he has on his own show.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💥💥💥💥💥💥

VIOLENCE GALORE!!!!!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

i put it under a keep reading because it got a little long *COUGH* i may have. opinions about things. whoopsie doodles <3

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

firstly, silver being a soft uwu baby. he isn't, end of discussion. idk WHY everybody is so fucking keen on infantilizing him and turning him into this idiot that can't tell left from right but it's just---UGH. stop having the most milk-white baby-ass surface-level takes, maybe? yes, he can be innocent and unknowledgeable in certain ways, but there is a difference between having a curiosity for the world because of all of the new experiences it holds and acting like a fucking infant. he doesn't understand social cues and norms and laws and shit because he was brought up in an apocalyptic hellscape! this doesn't instantly turn him into a toddler---in fact, it leans in the opposite direction! he acts too old for his age, he's grown up too fast, and he's probably got a martyr complex, people! seriously, out of everyone, you're going to infantilize the guy that was 100% willing and down to kill a guy he didn't know anything about if it meant saving the future? really?

secondly, shadow and sonic somehow turning into soft widdle sensual boys when paired up romantically with ANYBODY. i'm not even going to get into how shadow and sonic have such deep aro/ace-spec coding (along with every other sonic character), but the long and short of it is this: these two, no matter what they go through, will never turn into cuddly little babies in a romantic relationship. sorry babes, but its just the truth, plain and simple, and its been proven again and again. honestly, more people need to learn that in any relationship, physical contact is not a requirement or a need to keep that relationship healthy and long-lasting. (also not going to get into allonormativity and amatonormativity bcuz that would be wayyy to long of a discussion LMAO but. just understand that it is so very there with most/all of you)

24. topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

i'm. actually not too sure lmao. either anything involving shipping or the archie-or-idw bs.

probably the archie-or-idw bs.

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

saying it again because this gave me more room to actually discuss it

"archie is better than idw because BLAH BLAH BLAH---" "idw is better than archie because BLAH BLAH BLAH---"

i am SICK OF EVERYONE'S SHIT regarding this because the two are so deeply different and incomparable on so many levels it's like--- what the fuck are even trying to accomplish? looking like a little whiny bitch? and it's never even like. valid arguments 90% of the time. its just "ohhh but archie doesnt have THIS" "ohhh but idw doesnt have THIS"

just SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. creator almighty, do not waste yourself in my presence because i do not give a single shit my chum. <3

(if you have actual valid arguments then that's fine but like. if you're just spewing shit out of your ass then fuck you. which a majority of you are)

[lestcat-de-lioncourt]

So many people complain about having to bother grinding to play Genshin, a game you can literally play entirely for free if you want to where other games similar would charge a fortune to even own. What, do you hate bothering to grind COD, Skyrim, League (ok sure I mean the online public play area is people screaming at each other and crying), Mario, Animal Crossing, the list goes on. Why are you playing it if it’s tedious?

I get not having time to grind all the time for some people etc. but this is the same with any game you can’t be as fast to complete as someone who can game 24/7, but seeing not many complaints about this.

People only complaining about “having to sadly grind” at a game they allegedly should be enjoying playing like why are you playing if you don’t like it so bad you don’t wanna play it much? I LOVE grinding because I adore the game. It is fun. And I don’t compare my level of talent with maxing out every character with money and then being bored.

The people paying are paying to cheat the game faster, paying to not have to play properly, to not have to hone skills and work for it in game spending wages instead, and jumping gaining skill instead replacing it with money, and like every other single game that doesn’t charge, you have to grind and work for it if you wanna play it squarely as a game or use cheat codes to hack it.

It’s literally free otherwise? Can’t say that about most games especially ones that offer the same caliber of gameplay as Genshin does that aren’t at least £30 to £50, then another £1000 for expansion packs like the iconic Sims for example, or buying that first disk upon release for soooo much money, every new Switch game, every new PlayStation game, Xbox, PC, every time they upgrade, losing access to those games you’ve paid a fortune for because they’re out of date faster and faster with every electronic upgrade.

People are too competitive to have to “achieve everything first” or “game hatred”. It’s a gatcha game, yes. But I’ve spent barely anything on it and I’m doing alright, I’m not maxed out but why should I need to be? What? To brag? To pretend I worked hard in game for it when I didn’t? Na. Grinding a game and building it on your own merit is just fine, and something to be very proud of. Like with any new toy or merch piece being promo-ed suddenly for a new game, new characters are being dropped, its still a business and they still deserve to be paid to keep going and bringing you product and entertainment, it’s all just the same.

It’ll always be there (or certainly long enough to get to the quests), the relevant quests. God forbid grinding to earn game rewards like any other game ever.

Is not being good at it skilled off of your own bare back and playing a game you love, doing something you love for hours because you enjoy it, not a good enough reward anymore? I have won 37 characters and not paid for any of them, all got freely from a game which you can choose to pay for. That’s pretty damn reasonable. I have bought ONE skin in that time. I’ve won 2 (there’s barely any skins available). They actually give a hell of a lot, playing it totally for free on their servers. But people are still complaining?! People play for what 5 years, 10 years, to exceed at gaming, games, and be able to participate in competitions like E Sports, or gaming championships.

Imagine suggesting it’s disgustingly unfair and closing that’s valid rather than just wishful, than you can’t pay to just have all the skills of chess in one day or something. You’d sound spoilt, you’d sound rude and you’d sound unfair to all those who have worked hard and put the time in to learn.

The games only been out 2 years! It’s literally not even realistic for 1000s of people to angrily expect to be served the best on a platter. You have to grind and practice to be good at most skills. Sorry but that’s just it. Stop comparing yourselves to Whales (somebody who spends a lot of money on a game) who can drop £10000s.

Please. Enjoy the game, and happy travelling.

Jess/Leto + helping each other out

Modern AU (equivalent to late-era), PG-ish, also on ao3.

Usually, tax season is one of Jessica’s favorite times of year.

Weird, she knows, but it’s one of the few moments she gets where her tendencies towards hyper-organization and getting obsessive about details pay off and-

As much as she’s tried to switch most of the relevant documentation to digital statements, there’s still a sizeable plastic bin of a paper trail that is not quite as well in order as she would like because she isn’t the only person who put things into it. Dammit.

She tries so hard not to be a demanding wife – tries to minimize every complaint she’s ever had no matter how valid – and this is petty even by her standards. All she’d ever asked, when it became apparent that she had both more interest in wrangling the financial side of their domesticity and a much deeper fear of getting audited, was for her husband to put anything relevant in the bin. Not sorted in any way, just findable when needed. And his tendencies do line up with her compulsions for the most part, and-

“Do you want to come over here and help me? Please?”

He makes what she assumes is a slightly worried noise and clears the distance and she really does hate open-plan living spaces and-

“Remind me, does unusual politeness mean everything is fine or that you’re one minor inconvenience from completely losing it?”

Nearly twenty years together, Jessica thinks as she looks away because she’s not completely sure what her face is doing in response to this, and that level of completely innocent obliviousness is still…

“Doesn’t matter. Sort by category, right now it’s by month and-”

“Absolutely does matter, you’re not-“

If they’re going to spar, she thinks, they might as well be doing something constructive at the same time. Sorting paperwork is one of those near-mindless yearly tasks where she needs some kind of distraction anyways, and-

“I’m fine,” she says like she knows damn well he’ll at least see through this one.

“Fine,” he repeats, unimpressed. “You really are going for the nonexistent midpoints today.”

“As long as I’m functioning-“

“You worry me. Have I said that yet today?”

More often than he says he loves her, Jessica can’t help but think, but… the two emotions are one and the same for both of them, and-

“Love you too,” she murmurs, trying to be less hostile, trying-

“Is this personal, or…”

She clears the distance between them and takes a heartbeat of a kiss. “I’d say if it was. You know that.”

“You do have your passive aggressive moments…”

“Not… not now. Promise.”

He seems to take the hint, quiet just long enough that she falls for it, quiet enough to grab a handful of envelopes and arrange them into the system she’s set up all over the floor and-

“So, one minor inconvenience from losing it.”

“And trying to make sure that doesn’t happen. My phone is off, wrapped up in a shirt, and under our bed… you should probably-“

“Not happening.”

“If I hear one unnecessary noise-“

“You’re not going to hear vibrating in a jacket pocket all the way over there.”

She’s hypersensory enough that she just might, but that’s one of those things she just doesn’t mention anymore because it means more worry and more questions and more things that should’ve been resolved around the point she decided what she wanted most in the world was to legally tether herself to someone she’d known for two months and to her great surprise that person was willing to go with it and all these years later here they are and-

“Fine.”

“So, not fine.”

“Can you stop talking for multiple minutes in a row? I can’t…”

Somehow, this works. It usually doesn’t, this mismatch in their personalities, but sometimes-

Sometimes, she thinks, she’s reminded why all of this was a good idea and all the bad moments are worth it.

“There,” he says a while later, after the longest she’s ever heard him go without talking while awake and not otherwise heavily distracted. “Organized enough?”

“Yes. Thank you. Now I’ll just-“

“No. Next step can happen tomorrow. You do anything else now, you get weird and-“

Jessica rolls her eyes. “You think you can stop me?”

“I like sleeping next to you. Which is a little challenging if you come to bed manic at three in the morning. That enough to stop you?”

It is. Damn him. Nobody else could ever get there.

“Fine.”

[literatureismyentirepersonality]

Although I understand why people get upset about this and I'm sure it does happen where people misdiagnose on very slim grounds, I'd like to point out that we don't know the full story about anyone.

I'm self-diagnosed and pursuing a proper diagnosis, but it will years just to get an appointment. I did lots of research, often on medical websites but yes, also on Youtube and tumblr and all the social media sites where autistic people are openly discussing symptoms and coping mechanisms. I thought I was crazy for even suspecting it... until I discovered that my parents had suspected for years and purposely avoided diagnosis.

I'm pretty okay socially (I don't enjoy it, but I blend in servicably and I've learnt a lot of the social rules) I don't seem 'obviously autistic'. If I ask for sarcasm clarification/admit to feeling on edge due to noise and lights etc., people make the assumption that I'm talking out of my arse because they haven't seen me meltdown or because my stims aren't super obvious and can be passed off as anxiety.

Maybe some people will read this and think 'bog off, you fake', and that's fine I guess but this kind of thing definitely doesn't help the imposter syndrome and feeling like a crazy person. These complaints are valid, and some of the reblogs are talking about the 'everyone's a little xyz' stuff which I don't like either, but a little compassion goes a long way I guess?

autism is not just social anxiety and being awkward and having an interest

ADHD is not just being fidgety or loud

some of you need to do some serious research on these conditions before claiming that you have them, because it’s getting exhausting correcting people’s misinformation

[hopelessrromantix]

How would Atsushi, Dazai, Akutagawa, and Chuuya react to their female s/o being loud during sex?

valid question... can yall tell i love dazai yet??

𝓐𝓽𝓼𝓾𝓼𝓱𝓲

loves it but will have a tough time admitting it

i mean, he makes it pretty obvious with how much he blushes, but still

isn't the type to do stuff in public, so you don't have to worry about that

he is the type to be very worried about neighbors or receiving noise complaints though

expect this man to nervously suggest a gag

he will second guess himself the whole time though so try not to make fun of him

he does however like knowing that you feel as good as he does

he takes it like a measurement of how good he's doing and if he's honest, he'll try to see how loud you can get

will absolutely deny doing this

all in all, you’ve gotten him to cum more than once from him listening to how loud you get

𝓓𝓪𝔃𝓪𝓲

this man

he takes that shit as a challenge

will absolutely try and see how loud you can get

expect some heavy overstimulation cause he wants to see how far he can go

if you’re in public, he’ll make you try to stay quiet

if you get caught you’ll probably end up with some sort of punishment, so try to avoid it

usually that punishment is edging until you’re begging him

will regularly tease you about how loud you get

he’ll whisper it in the middle of work and see how fast he can fluster you

“i think everyone from here to Tokyo knows about last night”

“OSAMU”

𝓐𝓴𝓾𝓽𝓪𝓰𝓪𝔀𝓪

this man has no relationship experience

he probably thought he was hurting you at first

absolutely panicked and you had to explain that it was in fact a good thing

is still nervous but it's fine

once he gets used to it he really likes it

probably a kink for him im ngl

has probably gotten 'caught', but people were too scared to say shit

he's not super into to public stuff so not much to worry about there

will see how loud he can get you to go though

has tried a gag with you once but he didnt like it

basically he thinks it's the hottest thing he's ever heard

𝓒𝓱𝓾𝓾𝔂𝓪

smug as hell

he wears that shit like a badge of honor

was like .2 seconds away from bragging before he realized he probably shouldn't talk about his sex life with the mafia

like Atsushi, he uses it as a gauge of how he's doing

more than once has gotten too wrapped up in it and ended up over stimming you

i mean... can you really complain though?

tries to tease you in public, he doesn't care about getting caught

the only person who could scare him is Mori (or Dazai but he won't admit that)

will he ask to record you? yes.

he needs content for when you aren't there, it's not his fault

make sure you give him some praise, he'll eat that up

Sexually Frustrated

L Lawliet x Reader

Summary: It had been nearly three months since you and L even kissed for longer than three seconds and it was driving you up a wall. You understood he had a job to do but whenever you tried to do anything romantic with him, he'd blow you off.

Warnings: Heavy smut, swearing, angst

Themes/tags: L’s a bit of a dick, Face-riding, Makeup Sex

Word Count: 3.5k

Lucky enough for you, after L had introduced you, the Taskforce accepted you in and loved to have you at social gatherings, making it a prime opportunity for you and Misa to became close friends. You loved hanging out with Misa and having girls-night sleepovers on Fridays like you were kids again. She was really kind to you and understood and validated your feelings of loneliness in a relationship with L being because she was in a quite similar position.

And since L trusted you, you were able to take Misa out of the Taskforce at times and tonight, you two were going to go watch a movie and get some dinner.

Once the movie was finished, you walked to the restaurant joking about the character arks and the cheesy lines.

After ordering, Misa asked you with a flirty grin on her face, "So, Y/n, how's your sex life going with Ryuzaki?"

You nearly spit out your water, choking on it and coughing.

"I-um- oh, well it's not really a big part of our lives." You say, blushing.

"Oh, come on, Y/n. It's not like we're strangers, tell me what it's really like. How's sex with the world's greatest detective?"

"Misa!" You hissed, looking around making sure no one heard, "I-Oh, fine, okay. It's horrible. We haven't even had full sex yet just some handjobs here and there which I don't mind but we haven't even made out in three months. I respect his space and boundaries, of course, and I'll only do what he's comfortable with but wow, we are wasting so much electricity on my vibes when he could just give me five seconds of attention. It doesn't even have to be kinky sex, although I love getting praised, but for gods sakes, I'd sell my soul for a french kiss."

Misa wasn't expecting that. Well, she wasn't really expecting him to be some sex god either, but the fact that he hasn't had sex with a babe like you once, is insane in her opinion. It was obvious that you wanted to talk to someone about it by the way you practically burst out your complaints.

"Geez, Y/n, why do you think he won't?"

You sighed, sipping your water and watching the waiters carry food out.

"I don't know, Mises. I just- maybe I'm not pretty to him, you know? Whenever he gives me the rare compliment, it's always about my kindness and my mental traits. I mean, It's Ryuzaki, so I don't think he'd just be attracted to your outsides but he never makes me feel beautiful. And who would want to have sex with someone they don't think is beautiful?"

Misa's jaw dropped. L may not be the worst boyfriend, that was Light, but he clearly hasn't been paying attention to your insecurities and your happiness. She reached across the table and grabbed your hand, squeezing and giving you a reassuring smile,

"Aw, Y/n, I'm so sorry. You've been with him for what, two years? You deserve to be with someone who makes you feel pretty, and you are pretty, Y/n, Ryuzaki just has a couple screws lose. Hell, even I'd have sex with you just to have sex with somebody, Light and I haven't fucked at all!"

You chuckled and was about to respond when the waiter came back with the food, interrupting the conversation and breaking up your hands.

Once the waiter left and the pair of you were happily munching on your food, you came up with a great idea. Wiping your mouth with your sleeve and ignoring Misa's look of disgust at the stain, you spoke, "What if, when we get back, I try to get Ryuzaki away from Light so that you guys can spend some time together too, and you know, we can both get what we need right now."

Misa gasped and cheered at the statement, "Yes, you're brilliant, Y/n!"

You high-fived over the table and giggled at each other. Misa raised a glass and proudly made a toast, "To being dicked down!"

You laughed and clinked your glasses together, "To being dicked down!"

...

Back at the Taskforce:

"We're back!" Misa's singsong voice echoed through the Taskforce, turning L and Lights heads towards the pair walking in.

Now that Misa pointed out L's neglect of you, it was even more obvious and it stabbed right through your heart when L rolled his eyes at your appearance and went back to work.

You walked up behind him and placed your head on top of his, wrapping your arms loosely around his neck, "Aren't you done with work for the day?"

L sighed, like explaining his day to you was the worst chore he could've been assigned.

"Yes, but I want to finish these documents. Can you please get off me so I can continue."

He said it like a demand or an order but you tried to ignore the pang you felt and leaned down to kiss his cheek. Upon feeling your lips on his cheek he pulled away, making a face of disgust you saw reflect in the laptop screen.

If he couldn't even stand me kissing him, he would never want us to have sex.

Leaning back up, you walked around his chair pretending you hadn't noticed his grimace.

"Can I give you a kiss before I go to bed?"

L left out a huff of breath, as if having to scold a toddler.

"No, Y/n. I don't want affection from you."

Your heart shattered, the words driving a blade between the veins in it. You held in your tears and nodded.

"I understand. Night L, night guys."

Misa watched you with a sad look on her face as you waved and left up the stairs. Now, she was really pissed at L. Getting off Lights lap, she walked over to L fuming. He noticed her out of the corner of his eye and began to speak but was interrupted by her slapping him across the face.

L's mouth gaped and Light was equally as shocked, watching with newfound interest as Misa spoke,

"What the fuck is wrong with you, L? Can't you see you're hurting her? God, I thought you were supposed to be smart. You realize that your girlfriend tells me everything, including the fact that you don't kiss, hug or even smile at her. The fact the she feels ugly around you because you never tell her she's beautiful, because you don't kiss her and because you ignore everything she's done for you. She loves you like the gods can't stop her and you can't even kiss her goodnight, much less call her fucking pretty once in a while?! A woman needs to be praised to feel loved, and you can't even do that? If Light can act like he loves me, why can't you even show your love for her at all?"

L couldn't believe his ears, you felt ugly? But you're the most beautiful woman he'd ever met! And he was just busy, you understood that he didn't have time for silly little kisses, right? But if it was just silly little kisses, why would you be hurt? It was just silly kisses, right?

No, he couldn't even remember the last time he'd said he loved you. He hadn't kissed you in forever unprompted or given you a compliment at all in these past months. Fuck, you thought he hated you. And it seemed that you hated you too. I need to fix this.

He looked at the cameras to see you in your room. You were smearing mascara all over your face with a cloth, your skin red from your incessant rubbing and your eyes bloodshot. There was no water on the cloth yet it was still wet, tears pooling in your eyes as you dropped the cloth and looked in the mirror. You laughed miserably under your breath and began tugging on your cheeks, pulling your eyes down and making faces joylessly. Then you sighed and set your hands down on the counter, looking down at sink and letting your vision blur and spill over.

Drip by drip, your tears went down the drain, and L watched on with keen crushing feeling in his chest. He stood up, removed the handcuff on his arm, chained Light to a desk leg with it and began to make his way to your room ignoring Misa's yelling and Light's protests.

...

He opened your door slightly and walked towards your bathroom seeing you sitting on the floor, head resting against the wall with your eyes closed and chest shuddering in shallow breaths.

"I don't think you're ugly."

You opened your eyes and met his with a sad look of disbelief then closed them again.

"Then why don't you want me anymore?"

"I do want you. I always have." He paused watching your mouth contort into a scoff,

"I didn't intend to hurt you, I suppose I've been quite stupid these past few months."

You heard his body collapse next to yours and sighed, "Yeah, you're pretty stupid."

He waited for you to continue talking but you didn't, simply sitting next to him in silence.

Until he decided to speak up, "I think you're beautiful, Y/n. I think you have the most entrancing eyes. I could spend hours watching you think because you have this look in your eye that's somewhere between fascination and hope and it makes me want to live the rest of my life in your arms. I think you have the perfect sway to your hips when you walk that shows confidence and power. I think that your body is like no other, it draws my attention every time and I could spend all my years tracing your scars and kissing your skin."

You opened your eyes and turned to him watching him speak with a small grin on your face.

"You're gorgeous, Y/n, and I'm sorry it took so long for me to say it. No matter my excuse, I am in the wrong and I'm sorry I hurt you." He finished, meeting your eyes with his and returning the soft smile with tinted cheekbones.

"God, I wish I could stay mad at you." You said before leaning over and pressing your lips to his, feeling him smile into the kiss.

He reached towards the counter and grabbed a wet cloth as you pulled away and began to clean your face of the smeared makeup product.

As he did that, you realized something.

"Misa told you what I felt?"

He nodded and you panicked a little, "Did she say anything about you know, the deed?"

He laughed confused, gently wiping around your eyes with the cloth, "What deed? No, she didn't. What are you on about?"

You sighed relaxed, giggling slightly as you played with the hair on his nape, "Nothing, don't worry about it."

Immediately, L caught on to what you were implying just by the blush on your face and the darkened look in your eye. He watched your face as he spoke, choosing his next words carefully, "There's a room that doesn't have cameras in it and while I may not be as experienced as your previous partners, I want to make you feel good and I entrust you in telling me what you like. This can also be a way I can show my love for you and express how beautiful you are. Want to head there now?"

Your shocked eyes bore into his as you nodded slightly and allowed him to pull you to your feet by your connected hands, him dropping the forgotten cloth.

He led the path down the labyrinth of halls to a bedroom comfortably decorated with earth tones. You looked around the room, hearing the door close and lock behind you, you noticed a closet full of white shirts and baggy jeans and realized this is where L goes to sleep.

Hands wrap themselves around your waist, hot breath blowing into your neck as L speaks, "Can I make you feel good, Y/n?"

You nod and hum feeling one hand travel up and under your shirt whilst the other makes it way under the waistband of your pants. A gentle kiss is on your neck now, L's soft lips searching for your sweet spot. He finds it almost instantaneously, hearing you moan out slightly at the pressure. You feel him smirk into your neck, a bite followed seconds later causing you to gasp and tilt your head away, giving him more access as you press your lower body fully into his.

Your actions are greeted with a groan flowing out of the mouth attached to your neck and the hand under your waistband gripping your hip, grinding your ass into his growing erection.

His tongue smooths over the bite mark in your neck, leaving a throbbing bruise in its wake, distracting you as his hand travels underneath your panties. Gasping and crying out, you arch your back into him as his fingers find your clit and press down.

His mouth travels up to your ear, a ragged breath escaping as he begins to talk, "Right there? You're so wet, princess, and I've barely touched you. You like that? Like it like this too?"

Before you can answer, a finger is pushed inside you as the palm of his hand rubs against your clit. Your head flies back, slamming into the crevice between his head and shoulder, a loud moan leaving your lips.

Panting as he slowly pumps into you, you struggle out a sentence, "Ye- yes, I-oh god! Yes, I like it! Mmmhnn, right th-there! Fuck, don't stop-feels...so good!"

A devious smirk graces his lips as he allows his other hand to continue it's path up your shirt and under your bra. He rolls a nipple between his fingers with one skillful hand as the other inserts another finger, slamming into your G-spot with each forceful thrust. Gasps, cries and half-screams leave your lips as he brings you close to the brink. Seconds away from toppling over and flooding his hand, he pulls out of you, a near-broken sob leaving your throat.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna let you come. But when you do, it's going to be on my tongue."

You hear him pull his soaked fingers out of you and taste each individual one, a pleasured groan leaving him. L remembered Misa's words of advice, that you need to be praised and allowed the words to flow freely,

"You're sweeter than I'd ever imagined, now be a good girl and let me get a better taste."

L's hands pick you up gently, laying you down on the bed as he crawls in between your legs, an indescribable look of lust and admiration on his face. He reaches forward and strips you of your shirt and bra, starring at your breasts lovingly.

"What a pretty girl. Gorgeous and wanting, all for me." Praises spew from his mouth as he begins to pull off your remaining clothing off until you're completely bare. L makes eye contact with you, leaning down to kiss you with a unreadable expression on his face. It's something between indescribable desire  and indescribable joy that he gets to see you like this, all worked up and practically pleading.

"Tell me what you want and it's yours, love."

You lock eyes with him, flushed cheeks exploding red at the remark, "I- I want to...*mumble mumble*..."

"What was that, sweetheart? I couldn't quite hear you."

His unrelenting starring at you continued without cease, you having to turn your head out of shear embarrassment in order to say it.

"I want to ride your face."

A cocky grin spread across L's face as he lowers his body down the path of yours, spreading your legs slowly as he spoke, "Good choice, princess. Ready when you are."

Your hips are lifted off the bed as he moves to the side, allowing you to nearly straddle his neck as he sets you down on top of him. A reassuring yet lustful look is met with your eyes as you look down at him in between your thighs.

You slowly pick your hips up and hold your pussy over his face, contemplating the situation before his tongue is in your folds, licking a slow strip up. You gasp a drop a hand to grab his hair, the other holding yourself up by the bed frame as he rubs his nose against the huddle of nerves, thrusting his tongue inside you and gathering your arousal.

Your knuckles turn white as he begins to eat you out like you're his last meal, tongue bold yet controlled against your sopping core. L grabs your hips and pushing your further into him as you use his mouth to get yourself off. Screams of pleasure echo through the room as you feel yourself getting close again. You grab his hair with both hands, moving your hips like there's no tomorrow and loudly begging him to let you finish.

Hearing your cries of need, he increases his speed and slams his tongue into you, allowing you to ride his nose as he fucks into you.

Gasping and moaning, with one final swipe against your clit, you're squirting against L's mouth, tears of exhaustion and desperation spilling from your eyes. The salty-sweet flavor of your pussy runs down his throat and all over his chin, the taste a memory ingrained in his brain.

Your hands drop to the side of his face, slowly rubbing your dripping cunt on his face. You begin to lift yourself up, interrupted by L pulling you by your hips back into his face and licking you clean. You squeal and pull away, giggling and blushing slightly.

"I'm too sensitive, L.... Fuck, how are you so good at that?" You say as you move to the side lifting your hips off his face.

"When we first got together, I knew you had been with others who had done sexual acts with you so I researched online to find what feels good for you, in case we ever did anything. But you never asked, so I assumed that it didn't bother you and just let it fester in my memory. I'm glad I looked it up though, you make the most wonderful sounds when I touch you right here."

He reaches his hand across your body and rubs your clit with his forefinger, causing you to gasp and snap your thighs together.

He snickered and retracted his hand, allowing himself the pleasure of tasting you on his finger.

"In truth, now that I've had a taste of you, I'd forsake my desserts for your cunt any day."

Blushing, you turned to face him with a barely mustered up confidence and said, "You know, I don't have a gag reflex. Maybe some time, you'll let me taste you too."

L pulled you closer by your hips, a surprised squeak leaving your mouth as you come face to face with his cocky expression. He rubs slow, soft circles into your hips as he speaks, comforting your worn-out body, "I'm sure I'd love that. But for now, I'm fine with just holding you. I've been neglecting you for months and I have a lot of loving to make up on. Besides, I'd rather spend the rest of my days in between your thighs than ever eat a slice of cake again, I'm sure that says something about me but I'm not sure what."

Humming with content, you leaned in and kissed him lazily, "I do love getting pampered. You give the best massages."

He smiled back, caressing you gently and recapturing your lips in between words, "Sleep well, my love. I'll see you in the morning."

You drift asleep in his arms, soundlessly dreaming of the love you'd been waiting for as he holds you. Eventually, he stood up and made his way towards the main room, where Light and Misa were waiting for him.

"Did the worlds greatest detective just lose his virginity?"

L chuckled at Lights statement, rolling his eyes, "Not yet, but I did discover that there is something sweeter than cake and that is Y/n. You'll be happy to know that Y/n's frustrations have been taken care of, Misa."

Misa laughed, "I knew that the moment you took her from that room, she'd be satisfied simply because of your tongue abilities. You're acting like she hasn't fawned over you tying cherry stems in your mouth and licking sugar cubes."

L debauchedly grinned, "She certainly tastes better than both."

[not-me-simping-for-blasty]

some thoughts on what living with bakugou would be like:

-he’s weirdly organized. like he remembers where he put everything every time so if ur ever looking for something, most times he’ll just find it for u and it takes like .2 seconds

-will cook meals a large majority of the time, but if u bake sweets he’s an absolue sucker for them.

-if you’re like reALLY allergic to a certain type of bug or plant,, man’s got his eyes pEELED whenever y’all go somewhere together. like lets say, for example, ur allergic to bees. bakugou is blowing bees up left and right and u look at him and ur “no!! stop!!! bees are endangered!!” ,, he looks u dead in the face, like ur stupid or something and says “yeah. because of me. i’m gonna kill all of them.”

- if u have to get in an argument with somebody over the phone, he wants to hear it. like he’ll ask u to put the phone on speaker and he’ll just make mocking, bitchy faces while the other person is speaking. like,, he lets u fight ur own battles, but he wants to be there bullying the other person mercilessly in the background.

-if he doesnt like a song ur playing, he’ll just skip it. won’t ask, wont look at u, he’ll just skip it. borderline dick move tbh

-gets grumpy if u don’t follow his nightly routine on time, but also wont go to sleep without u. like he’ll just stay up and crab at u until u go to bed with him

-likes when u brush his hair for him. like u’ll be brushing yours, totally by urself fine, and he’ll just look at u and clear his throat until u roll ur eyes and beckon him over

-if u get like a bag of junk food or something,, do nOt leave that shit out, bakugou will finish it 10/10 times. he’ll finish it but then look at u and “why the fuck would u even bring that shit in here, huh? u tryin’ to get me out of shape or somethin?” ,, and u look at him like “idk man maybe just dont eat it then.” ,,, the glARE he gives u in response is muRDEROUS //pls this is quite literally the only area he lacks self control dont remind him\\

-has absolutely no regard for neighbors. he yells a lot and if y’all get noise complaints he just glares and 😡💥at the neighbor until they get scared and leave

-he thinks it’s funny to just subtly move things from time to time. like, for example, lets say plates. ,,, so like, u always keep plates on the left side of a certain cabinet, right?? but if he’s putting dishes away and feeling particularly petulant that day, he’ll just put away the plates on the right side instead. man’s then proceeds to smirk and laugh at u every time u open the wrong side of the cabinent from then on with a “jeez, u rlly are a moron, huh? they’re on the right side, remember?” god he’s annoying

-genuinely enjoys going grocery shopping by himself. like idk he just thinks it’s his quiet, personal time, u kno?? and he enjoys doing super-intense meal prep for the week anyways so he’s gotta make sure he gets the right ingredients

-u just hear muffled screaming from time to time. like u’ll be in the kitchen eating breakfast totally calm, and he’s making the bed and all the sudden just a “jesus fucking christ, swear to fuck im gonna blow up this stupid fuckin’ fitted sheet!” (which honestly??? valid. fuck fitted sheets.)

-if he doesn’t want to hang out with the bakusquad but they’re forcing him he’ll text u something like “I love you.” and then ofc ur like “i love u too. but also, u never just say that to me normally?? is something wrong?” and then total radio silence from him for like 20 mins and u get super worried,, and then he just sends u a video of mina or denki being loud with a “Can you get sick or something? I want to come home.” ,, i- 🧍

- isnt going to want a pet,, but if u have, like, a dog already when u move in with him, then it’s going to become bakugou’s dog. if he’s going to have to have a dog than he’s gonna make sure it likes him more than u

-hates doing laundry. will volunteer to do dishes instead 11/10 times

-he doesn’t sing in the shower but 100% plays the drums on the walls or his own stomach fight me on this

-he hates the smell of nail polish/nail polish remover. so if ur painting ur nails he’ll just walk in the room and walk directly out,, quickest way to get alone time

-speaking of alone time- say bye. u’ll get none of it,,, it’s not that he’s constantly on top of u or like talking to u, he just always sorta ends up in whatever room u are. like a cat, pretty much. like he won’t say anything, but if u get up to do something, he gets up and chooses to move his lounging to somewhere nearby

-he likes to scare the shit out of u. just like, rlly juvenile stuff like hiding around corners just to jump out at u. will just stand there and laugh when u scream, and will never, never apologize

-he gets weirdly worked up about hair?? just hates it, thinks it’s disgusting if he sees a stray hair anywhere. even if its his own. like yes it’s gross ig, but he gets so 🤮 about it

-he does house chores unecessarily loudly. like, u watch him and it seems like he’s doing everything totally normally,, but jesus christ why is it so loud

-gets bitchy around christmas if u decorate without him. he will complain the eNTIRE time if he does have to decorate, but will throw an even bigger fit if u dare to do it without him

-he gets mad if people drive too fast in ur neighborhood/ past ur apartment complex. like, y’all have 0 (zero!) kids, but he’s still up at the window like “Slow the fuck down, asshole! Why the hell doesn’t anyone have any common fuckin’ sense around here? That’s dangerous, you piece of shit!”

-if u sing around the house a lot, it’s the only habit of urs he’ll have absolutely nothing to say about. like it doesn’t even matter if ur a good singer or not, he just likes when he can hear u in the house even if ur not in the same room. he finds it comforting

-bakugou hates having people over to ur place. he thinks of it like his calm-space/safe-haven and it rlly pisses him off when people are there

-on the rare days he doesn’t have to work at all and stays home, mans is a total baby. he just refuses to get up for anything other than bathroom or meals and even then goes straight back to bed. he takes basically a 24 hr nap and expects u to do the same with him he’s so dramatic pls

-will make snarky comments about reality tv shows with u. just the bitchiest shit possible bc he enjoys trash talking as an art form, and absolutely does not care who it’s about

-likes to watch u do skincare stuff. he won’t ask questions and will be borderline offended if u offer some to him, but he just likes to watch u do it. man’s thinks of it as like his personal asmr

-hates online shopping. (pls i have absolutely no explanation for this one i just know its true)

-he has a lot of pride in his house so it’s actually rlly well decorated. like, he would never consent to living somewhere busted, lmaooo, so if u dont kno how to decorate he’ll figure it out for the both of u

-u can always tell if he’s falling asleep bc he constantly does that weird full-body jerk. like the one where it feels like ur falling

[myjunkisyuzuruhanyu]

Just a little complaint about "rescoring" and "rejudging"

Feel free to disagree...

Everytime I stumble upon new "rescoring" or new "analysis" from a certain department of fans of the Beijing scores...I am at a loss...because I think rescoring or analysis barring any major bias is impossible at this stage. The competitions happened - months ago even - the circumstances of the judging (namely a program just happens before your eyes, you saw everyone not only the couple chosen ones to rescore and not knowing what placement would happen is simply never to be undone) and there are always multiple judges on each panel, so one person doing a rescore is just making no sense as not one person only decides the places in the end. Also at this point there have been so many different opinions and rescores of the matter that you cannot be not influenced by it at all depending on whose fan analysis or rescores you read.

All those "results" that appear just now are just from fans and even if you are a trained judge the things listed above still play a part.

This is not to say that looking at the scoring and possible changes in placements makes no sense or shouldn't be done, because sure it should be done because you can learn and reevaluate the things that happened (btw I am the first to say scores should be open to be revalued at the competition directly (like in artistic/rhythmic gymnastics where inquiries can be done about scores)), but my feeling is that "rescoring" is only then at play when ppl assume the "wrong" skater gets the medals. It's not free of bias, it's not free of favoritism and in the end it doesn't change anything at all.

I am not saying at all judges are always right - there happen lot of questionable things - BUT in the end the situation of the competition cannot be returned. And thus I think analyzing is fine if it's done for the WHOLE competition, but rescoring is so dependent on personal bias of the person "rescoring ", it just cannot be seen as "proof" for different results. So pls take any "rescoring" you see with a big chunk of salt (remember this supposedly certified ISU judge on Twt which tweet got a lot of attention? It turned out to be just a big Yuzu fan account known for hating on other skaters who lied about being a judge)

And lastly everyone is free to be displeased at results or see things differently, we can always discuss about it, but don't disrespect the skaters who earned the medals, because your opinion isn't the only valid one and in skating I have yet to see a day where everyone judges and all viewers, fans etc. have the exact same result for any competition. I also share my opinion on scoring but I don't think that my opinion is of more value than those of others.

....

Why am I writing this? Well...after months and months after Beijing I am tired of the ppl nullifying the results as some unfair scandal as like in 2002 Salt Lake City, because it's not scandalous. Are there different opinions on the results, yes totally, but a big fat scandal? No.

Look I love Yuzu with all my heart, but even as his fan you have to admit that Nathan had the better competition and fairly won the Gold.

Btw same goes for the stupid discussion that somehow started about Sochi 2014 and Yuzu's Gold medal. Same goes there. Devaluing Yuzu's Gold medal in Sochi is the same bs as devaluing Nathan's in Beijing.

___

Btw I am not in for restarting a discussion about it here on Tumblr I just needed my thoughts to be shared somewhere

And I have already posted a lengthy analysis myself about the men competition at Beijing 2022 BUT without rescoring.

This was in my drafts for a while but well I just post it now...don't expect me to answer any questions about it I am seldomly checking my blog atm

Oof. Okay. I understand where you are coming from, but I am really uncomfortable with this take. Because I genuinely do not understand what Netflix Nordic are supposed to have done wrong here.

Teenagers have parasocial relationships and a lot of emotions about them, absolutely. It's why the Beatles were told to hide their wives back in the 60s, it's why every boyband member throughout the decades has been told to be vague about their relationships/sexuality so as not to spoil their fans' fantasies.

But this isn't a boyband situation where the PR team are trying to get a generation of teens invested in a brand so that they'll buy albums and concert tickets and merch (and then keep on buying them). For NN, YR is simply one of their shows - yes, their biggest and most popular show, but one that's soon coming to an end and therefore is soon going to cease to be of benefit to them except as possibly a springboard to other content. ('You liked that? Watch this!') Right or wrong, that's Netflix's business model - a constant stream of new content to keep hold of subscribers.

Ultimately, the diehard fans screaming and crying on twitter and insta do not actually matter to NN. Because they're the ones who are going to watch (and rewatch) the show anyway. The people NN need to worry about are the people scrolling idly past who go 'oh, there's a new series of that queer Swedish prince show, I enjoyed that - and ooh, looks like the lead is in another movie, I might watch that'. That's what's going to get the numbers that will please Netflix HQ in California.

Frankly, in those circumstances, I think we're lucky to be getting the content we are. A whole behind the scenes documentary? That's huge! Hardly any shows get that! A fan event with the cast? That's awesome! We've had trailers and sneak peeks and pics, and I'm sure there's plenty of cast promo to come as they've clearly filmed it.

I really don't understand what NN are supposed to have done differently. Not support their other new shows because it might upset some people on twitter? Make their lead actors pretend that they COULD be in a relationship with each other (nudge nudge, wink wink) when they're absolutely not? I know many a publicity tour for a Hollywood film has done exactly that, but that doesn't make it right.

They could perhaps have released content earlier or in a different order but do we really think that would have stopped the complaints? NN will have a finite budget to release a finite amount of content, and if they had released say a cast interview weeks early, then it would probably mean a gap somewhere else in the schedule and then the fans would STILL be complaining because there's not new content every day.

Teenagers' feelings and emotions are absolutely valid - but that doesn't mean their behaviour is always valid too. Part of being a teenager is learning from the behaviour of the adults around you what behaviours are okay, in fandom as well as in real life. If we, as adults, turn around to teenagers and say actually all that whining and entitled complaining you're doing is fine actually, keep doing more of it and we'll give you everything you want, then we're not helping them.

I'm just a bit uncomfortable with the idea of infantalising teenagers like that; the idea that because they have big emotions, we should condone or even encourage their behaviour.

I live in a country where you are legally an adult at 16. (It's complicated because of the complex relationship between Scottish and English law over the centuries, but for the most part yeah, you're considered an adult at 16 under Scots law while it's 18 in England.) And for me, if someone's old enough to have a job, to pay taxes, to vote, to get married etc, then they're old enough to understand basic concepts like actors and characters are different people.

E posted about APOY first, and F didn’t even post about YR. They really moved on.

I have a counter question: why does it matter even IF it is true? Does it actually affect the show and its quality in any way? Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams famously couldn’t stand each other as they were filming The Notebook, and yet the film was a huge success, and their performances were praised greatly; their feud didn’t affect the actual film. And this is not even that, it’s just actors doing their job and promoting their other project 😅 They have a life after YR, shocking I know. They’re allowed to “move on” as long as they fulfil their contractual obligations and do their actual job (which they do).

The whole insta stories thing is frankly quite ridiculous, because Edvin simply reposted the slides in… the order they were in. The NN post had APOY first. That’s it 😭 As for Felicia, of course she’s more excited about the film she’s the lead in than the show she’s got a tiny role in (also, we don’t even know if she’s gonna be involved in the YR panel/screening event; maybe it’s just the main five). This is all a bit silly, I’m sorry 😅
