I haven’t seen the marvels yet but I wanted to ask you a question. Would you have liked her regardless of her performance? You seem to be the only blog praising her while every review states she was the worst part of the movie. I haven’t seen the movie so I can’t judge but if 99% say she’s bad and only you say she’s good it seems you might not be correct. You just want to support her regardless. I found you and your followers like bullies if people don’t like her. I have only seen the trailers and feel if I watch it and don’t like it you’ll call me a mean name. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but you seem to like her regardless, like you can’t be bias towards her. I’ve never heard of her until this movie so I’m wondering what else you’ve seen her in, maybe she was better in other stuff and superhero genre is just not for her, it’s not for everyone.
I’m so sick and tired of you guys.
Why can’t I be allowed to like Zawe and her work without people interrogating me over it? Do you all harass other blogs like this or just mine? Most people’s criticisms of Dar-Benn have been that she wasn’t well written and not a big enough villain to their satisfaction. In fact, I’ve seen many people on twitter praise Zawe’s performance, while also acknowledging that the character could have been better. So no, it’s not just me that enjoyed her performance. Sorry to burst that bubble for you.
And you’re a damn liar. You’ve never heard of Zawe before The Marvels and just stumbled across my blog, yet somehow know enough about my followers and I to call us bullies? Especially since I haven’t dragged a bitch in ages.
Can you Tom stans just accept reality and admit defeat already? No matter how much you drag Zawe’s career, acting, appearance, etc.. Tom still chose her, he loves her, and had a baby with her. I know it eats y’all up inside, but you need to get a grip. It’s truly embarrassing at this point.

So this question is something I've pondered about for a while. This is not meant to attack any other readers.
I often wonder how much a reader or medium's personal views/bias affect a reading or interpretation. I've been in the fandom for a while and I want to say before at least 2021 there used to few tarot readers, who weren't too invested in Chris himself and would read on him occasionally and some had 50-80% accuracy. Of course free will is at play and things change with time and ones personal decisions. But I often feel that since 2021 there's been this uptick of people too,too,too much damn invested in Chris. This isn't to attack anyone though, hell I know I've been guilty of it as well(though I don't understand tarot card interpretation and my knowledge of astrology is at best rudimentary)
2021 also was when this very bizarre incident occurred over discord, wherein this frankly strange lady opened up a server for tarot readings on him, had some strange etsy reader come on who urged the members of the server to message her with some emojis and she said she will find out if anyone there is his FS, promptly found out the FS who got the moniker catrose because of the emojis said person used. In reality the person who set the server was frankly a weirdo who was from LSA, who was also shunned there for oversharing about her personal life and often times exaggerated her life and experiences. This lead many more bizarre in-fandom incidents(like the secret gf of Summer 2021 and people seeing reflections of a woman on his piano in of those piano videos he posted)
Now the FS argument always makes my head turn, partly because of the obsession with this unknown woman's EVERYTHING. It's funny how she's a different person in everyone's eyes. Different age, appearance, ethnicity and characteristics according to everyone different. I often wonder if personal bias subconsciously leaks into interpretations and visions. Sometimes I almost thinks it is so. Is that a thing that's possible to happen to a reader or medium or psychic? I genuinely have wondered this because as I said, I've been in the fandom for a while and this FS went from a just a nice lady who will be good for him to completely different people(sometimes a boss bitch business woman to some nice quiet lady who works in STEM or is a teacher to a quirky person who's creative like him but in a different field, some see her as this spicy,extroverted queen and some see her as a quiet but eccentric person who will always stay behind the scenes)
Actually it's not just FS but even about Chris himself, it's like he's a different person in different readings. Of course humans are multifaceted beings and we only see one part of him.
I just, I don't know who to really take seriously sometimes😅
Basically I feel like there's lack of unbiased readings like from back in the day. Talkingtarot was on point about the 20s clout chaser which I guess what Alba is. Tarottabloid is someone whose readings feel fairly unbiased. I enjoy your astrological interpretations even when the amount of knowledge is quite intense for a noob like me.
So yeah, sorry for the huge essay. I just needed to voice it out somewhere.
The answer is bias affects readers the same way it affects anyone in anything. Some don’t want to see bad messages, some can’t or won’t interpret extraneous information, some are straight up fake. I posted an entry on how to spot fakes for that reason. It’s the same motivation as these long essays anons or blogs write about their opinions on why they think the complete lack of evidence on something means x, y, or z. Only some think claiming to be a reader will give them more credibility. I agree there is a lot of focus on him right now and that will mean more readers will tap into his energy or try their hand at interpretation.
As far as his fs is concerned, I see no benefit to anyone being allowed to get personal information on her through divination. It does not appear to me to be in any way to her aid to do so and I believe that is why every reader who pops up every few weeks to read on her gets a face full of negative energy. They are sniffing around where they don’t belong.

Ship Bias for Selena and/or Petra!
Tumblr media
INCOMING WALL OF TEXT
Tumblr media
Tbh I’m not sure I have five ships for Selena? I mean I could always list Selena/Summoner as one but that’s the coward’s way out and also a bit too self-indulgent methinks ;D Regardless I do have some feelings™️ regarding her potential ships
- Selena/Glen: Number one forever OTP, and I’m still salty that Valter took away the one person Selena was closest to who nearly talked her out of staying loyal to the man who used to be the love of her life (not that she ever told VIgarde that) because he wasn’t that man anymore, you know, Demon King stuff and whatnot. I love their interactions. limited as they may be (BECAUSE OF FUCKING VALTER GODDAMMIT) and want them to be a thing seriously.
- Selena/Ephraim: A bit of a weird ship but tbh, I can see it. If only Ephraim and Duessel could convince Selena to join their side 😭I feel like they’d have really good chemistry in an alternate universe where that happens, given she would probably need time to grieve Vigarde as a result of that regardless. But I could definitely see it happening of the course of time, though Selena would probably think that Ephraim is in some serious need of more discipline...no that’s not a euphemism though tbh I could see them being a bit kinky but that’s beside the point 
- Selena/Vanessa: Okay I know this seems like a crack ship but hear me out. This is one of those ships that’s mainly the result of a long string of interactions that I had when I was running Selena on her own blog once upon a time that she had with a Vanessa, and that romantic chemistry between them has actually led to fanfics of this ship on AO3 by that same RPer, btw. Anyway, back to my main point, Vanessa being inspired and utterly admiring Selena for how far she’s coming and trying to aspire to similar heights in Frelia’s army and the two bonding and falling hopelessly in love with each other GIVES ME LIFE OKAY? There’s a lot of potential there, I’m just saying.
I can’t really think of any other ones right now? Selena/Eirika is a possibility I’ve considered but I’ve not put enough thought into it yet to really list it here. I’m surprisingly not as much of a ship whore for Selena believe it or not (but if I didn’t feel like it was cheating, I would totally list Selena/M-...I mean Selena/Summoner.) 
Tumblr media
- Petra/Dorothea: ...look, at this point it’s no secret to anyone that I am utter trash for this ship and I need it in my life and I love these two so much and this is my OTP for her mgnghgh. Just the fact that from the start Dorothea is so accepting and encouraging of Petra, not even caring about her being from Brigid and her difficulties with Fodlan’s language, and she doesn’t take too much offense to Petra’s very blunt way of saying things, and the fact that Petra comes to care for Doro so much and wants her to stay in Brigid with her and the idea of Doro becoming a Queen of Brigid with her (and adopting like all the kids in Enbarr who are struggling like she did once upon a time) and just their sheer chemistry...I can never get over these two, okay? I’m filthy trash for this ship and nothing’s really ever gonna change that.
- Petra/Edelgard: Hey, is anyone else extremely upset that these two never got an A-Support which could have been really interesting and compelling and led to a good ship for these two? I know I sure am. I mean god damn, why could they not have had a full support line like they deserved? It consistently makes me upset that Doro is the only Black Eagles girl allowed to flirt with and have ships with every other girl in the Black Eagles (among others) but Petra can’t have a proper support line with Edelgard, and don’t get me started on Bernie either.
- Petra/Claude: ...honestly I’m not sure what to say here other than have you SEEN their supports? No really, have you? I mean, okay, I know I could have said the same thing about Doropetra but I wasn’t able to contain myself but really, if you’ve seen their supports you should just know. Look, I just love how from the start Claude treats Petra like an equal, even though they both notice how neither one is exactly typical for their social status (though Petra is close enough for Brigid, but not really for Fodlan). And to think their wonderful bonding all starts over Claude being unable to climb trees
- Petra/Ashe: Once again, I’m having a hard time discussing this other than just saying look at their supports? I just love the way Ashe helps Petra adapt to commoner life in Fodlan and she feels like she’s becoming a better and more knowledgeable person because of it whereas he’s just doing it because he loves to help people and wants to help Petra feel comfortable and then she just literally helps him realize his dream by the end of it. “You wanna be a knight? I can make an order of Knights of Brigid just for you and you can my guardian knight, I really like that idea, we’re both ambitious and driven and have goals we want to reach, let’s get there together.” It’s just so sweet and wholesome.
- Petra/Bernadetta: ...actually I literally don’t have much to say about this one because it’s pretty much the same thing as Edelgard. So yeah, salty this one couldn’t happen either to be honest, especially because I love the difficulty of overcoming the language barrier early on for them. It could lead to some really sweet and fun things for them I feel like.

I voted "only a little" but should've voted "No" or "my feelings are complex" so I'm writing my opinion anyway. (Pardon my english, it's my 2nd language.)
Partially because, she's my favorite character but like, I like her arc as it is?
This is Homestuck. I could count the characters with a "satisfying arc" on the fingers of one hand. Let alone have most of the fandom agree on that.
Her arc is better and happier than our main character's! not even speaking about Jade. And Putting my personal opinions of "and thats ok because that's not what homestuck is offering us" and "let's stop obsessing over which character "deserved" what from the narrative" aside (since I'm noticing what blog this is)
Again, she's my favorite character, and the thing is. I relate to her a lot. I've related to her since the beginning. With the darkness that draws us in, with the need to be overly smart to the point of being pretentious lest we won't be treated seriously, with the role of alcohol in our family lives full of neglect and loneliness. And may I say. The role of lesbianism in our eventual salvation. I liked the symbolism of her going grimdark, and then being a god of light. As someone recovering from depression and embracing the more obnoxiously positive parts of myself. I like how her problems didn't stop at her literal rebirth, that she was allowed to be messy and try to cope with her past. And DAMN the amount of people I've heard trying to introduce others to homestuck and mentioning her lesbian wedding!! The celebration of that, how important it is to people! For people to talk like this about the "end" of her arc is huge!
And yet Rose says her arc is stupid. Well, first of all I don't agree. I myself adore Jasprose. It's a representation of all the fun, quirky and horny that Rose tries to keep in check at all times gone loose. She's unapologetically herself, a little sapphic cheshire cat. And although that wouldn't work too well in society. She's free from it! Being a sprite is the ultimate freedom! (unless you're merged with someone you don't vibe with) which is ironic for something made to be a guide, but that's what irrelavance in homestuck gives you. There is however a payoff that i'm gonna mention later.
But it's not too late. Retcon happens for once, and the Rose which we've been following (WHICH PEOPLE TEND TO FORGET. JASPROSE IS OUR ROSE) gets to live anyway. And there's something sad about that because she's now "the other rose" (that due to its textuality and fandom bias is much more explored with davesprite, but its not like it's not shown with jasprose) and i think those are emotions that jasprose cannot express. So she does the next best thing. She looks for someone who will fill that hole in her heart. Hmm I dunno. Someone her and especially the cat part of her already had a connection with? Maybe thinking that she could do a do-over? (but thats just speculation on my part)
So, from the beginning:
We had Rose who was very active in the story because she had to, doing badass things, we had Rose rebel against the game, grow to power while under manipulation that she thought she was too smart not to fall for, isolating herself from her friends in the meantime. She had her big going berserker moment. (that ultimately was a bit undercut but that's hs for you) She had a dramatic suicide mission that ultimately helped her grow closer to her estranged brother, leading to a rebirth that flipped her entire aesthetic and our perception of her (which was teased before by her planet and the fact that she liked it) she then actively became a guide to her friends, and pursued the relationship she wanted. Then fumbled with that relationship due to her past crushing down on her, we spend act 6 exploring her relationship with her mother, juxtaposed against her current relationship with kanaya that offered her that which she didn't have before, because let's be clear, drunken affection cannot replace real communication and emotional availability and Rose finds herself mirroring her mother in that regard, probably not knowing how to create and keep intimate and genuine relationships that she's not undercutting with her sarcasm and superiority complex.
Then game over comes and she's the ONLY death that is given time and weight, as Rose regrets not letting kanaya in due to her problems. And now it's too late.
And what happens in the epilogues and hs2 is a completely other can of worms! And that doesn't mean I hate it personally.
Going back to Rose prime, I just like that she was helped by her fellow light player and a bit sad that we couldn't see it happen (but i dunno, i think davekat fans got fucked over even more there)
takes a deep breath
AND IN THE END. Rose gets to "reunite" with her mom, or rather explore their relationship in a more healthy and constructive manner. She gets to have a family, she gets to MARRY KANAYA and be HAPPY.
Concluding this huge thing. I think Rose's character arc was cool actually. We can all be bitter about our favorite characters being side-lined or not treated with the weight and consideration that we give them. But maybe that's the point. For us to give them that??
But anyway I think on the scale of Dave Strider and idk…Nepeta? Feferi? of character arc completness/satisfaction she's much closer to Dave.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Consider not only how she was handled, but how you wish she was handled, and if you think she had any potential that was unused.

couldn’t tag: @chorizoek
You: can I come over? I kind of need u
H/N: you need me huh…you’re lucky I’m home alone
It always starts differently. Some other question, or a subtle message of telling him you’re bored, or a flat-out confession of being horny. The ending is always the same. You, naked in his bed. You just had to get there, and things were easy when you were already on his dorm’s doorstep.
The moment he had opened the door, you had fistfuls of his hair between your fingers and attacked his mouth in a feverish kiss. He made a noise between a laugh and surprise but reacted quickly. His lips parted right away, letting you in, and you tasted mint from the chewing gum he liked so much.
“Let me- at least- close the door,” he mumbled. “Jeez, what’s gotten into you today?”
You stepped aside and mirrored his grin. He was acting surprised, but the way he instantly locked your lips after he had shut the door told you he was enjoying this as much as you were. You ran your hands down his torso and along the side of his thighs. His happy hum only poured oil into the fire, and you saw no reason as to why you should have kept your clothes on any longer. In minutes, in the middle of heated kisses and clumsy chuckles, your clothes were discarded, and you were left in your underwear. You stumbled into his bedroom in a tangle of arms and legs and heads barely pulling apart.
“Will you tell me about the date you had today or are we skipping over that part?” he asked, as he pushed you down by the shoulders onto his bed. You groaned a little, not even knowing where to start.
“Didn’t go well, huh?” he asked. Only a few nights ago you had consoled him after his failed date, now the roles were reversed.
“That’s one way to put it,” you said. He was climbing on top of you now, and the weight of him between your thighs still did the same things to you it had done the first time. There was one of his random playlists playing quietly from the speakers, but you were both too occupied to even consider switching the music off. You weren’t in the mood for a chat, not when he was biting and sucking bruises into your chest, pushing aside your bra just enough. But you knew he wasn’t going to let it go this easily.
“Tell me about it or I won’t take one more piece of clothing off your body,” he threatened. You shot him an are-you-serious-look while he only blinked at you innocently, like he was awaiting your response.
“Fine,” you groaned. “But hurry, now.”
“That’s my girl,” he said, before unclasping your bra and throwing it to the other side of the room. “Go ahead, I expect a story.”
You had rolled your eyes at him, but when he sucked on your nipple all of a sudden, and his tongue flicked over the sensitive bud ever so perfectly, your eyes moved to the back of your head involuntarily. And, before he could complain, you started to retell today’s events.
“Alright. First of all, he acted all gentleman-y. Pulling back my chair at the restaurant, letting me have a look at the menu first, letting me order first, asking me if I was okay with our seats because they were in the sunshine, or whether he should have requested we get a different in the shade table, blah, blah, blah.”
With the lewd noises he was making, kissing your chest and fumbling with your breasts, you almost wondered whether he was paying attention to you at all.
“I’m waiting for the plot twist,” he chuckled. “If he had been this great, you wouldn’t be in my bed right now, would you?” He was now on his way to your lower regions. Your breaths came out shaky when he gripped your hips with familiar fingertips and placed a few kisses there, right above the material of your underwear. Nonetheless, you had to continue your story.
“Oh, it’s coming,” you said. “Because I suspect, the only reason he was acting that way was to compensate. For the fact that he was an hour late.”
He stifled a laugh, and you slapped his head playfully. “It’s not funny! I stood outside that restaurant on a busy street like an idiot for an hour. During exam season!”
“I wonder, if studying is so special to you- ,” he said. He tugged on your underwear, and you barely cared about his words when you were already imagining his mouth on your pussy. “Why aren’t you at home right now, doing just that?”
“Too frustrated,” you groaned, spreading your legs, practically inviting him in. “You don’t get it. That was only the beginning of the date. It gets worse.”
“Oh, damn,” he laughed, and you were going to slap him again. Harder, this time. But his tongue kitten-licked over your clit and you didn’t dare interrupt him further.
“First of all, he turned out to be boring. An economics major. And look, I’m not generalizing, I’ve met some cool economics majors. But when I said I never really understood the whole thing with inflation and deflation, I wasn’t asking for him to explain it to me. I know what it means, I just meant to say money is the root of all evil,” you said, little moans slipping inbetween your sentences. He laughed whilst sipping on your clit. You couldn’t be mad at his laughing anymore. In fact, at the sound of his chuckles, your own lips curled into a smile, too. God, he was so good with his tongue.
“But turns out he loved money. Like it was the sole reason he was doing anything. When he showed me his gold watch I almost yawned,” you continued.
“Dating a rich guy can have its upsides too, though,” he said, but you knew he was joking. He was running the tips of his fingers over your core, and you whimpered at how badly you wanted him to put them inside of you. You loved watching him, loved feeling his hair tickle the side of your thighs and having his free hand laying on top of your hipbone. The familiarity of it all, his little habits, made your heart heavy, so full of emotion, all of a sudden. But you had to snap out of it.
“Not this guy. He kept saying these lowkey sexist things I won’t repeat now. It’ll only make me mad again. He was one of those who thought money would buy him a girlfriend. And I was really trying to see the good in him…only there was none,” you said.
“Alright, I’m starting to understand why you needed some cheering up,” he said. “Good thing you’re at the right place. I know just the thing.”
At this, he slid his digits into you. You hummed and dropped your head into the plush pillow. Slowly, you exhaled, happy you finally got to relax after being so upset. But of course, he had to interrupt. Again.
“Did I say you could stop? Was that the end of the story?” he said. How did he expect you to form a coherent sentence? He fingered you gently, but the slowness of it all only drove you crazier. You felt every tiny sensation, every new bit of you he touched.
“No,” you sulked. “Fuck, it feels so good.”
“Go on, then,” he encouraged you, grinning because he was proud of your reaction he had caused.
“Fuck- okay. He was super shitty to the waiter. I’m talking about criticizing everything. This man had the audacity to complain about the food. I’m not a food critic, but I swear the food was amazing, there was nothing to fault at all,” you said, and then whined when he switched from licking your clit to sucking it between his teeth. You knew he was doing this on purpose. To make speaking harder for you.
“Oh my god, H/N. Wait, let me finish this. Not only was he horrible to the waiter in person, but he also made fun of the waiter’s appearance behind his back. And all along he expected me to find him funny. I used to think he had a sense of humor but not after today. Blech.”
“At least you got a free dinner?” he said, and without awaiting your answer, went back to work. Your head was spinning in pleasure, and you could only laugh sarcastically at his suggestion.
“Yeah. And after that train wreck of a date, he really thought he’d get to stick his tongue down my throat,” you said.
“Did he at least ask permission?” asked the boy between your legs.
“Mhm…but I told him I don’t do that on the first date,” you said. “Safe to say there won’t be another date, though.”
He looked up now, laughing more than before. You grinned, mainly because the sight of him was so cute. He folded his hands on your belly and put his face down onto your skin to giggle. In no way could you be upset or urge him to keep giving you head. In fact, you had forgotten about all of that for a while, as he seemed to enjoy your misfortune a little too wildly. You should have been hungry, eager to have the half-naked boy inside of you. Yet, you laughed at the way his breaths tickled your stomach and when he finally made eye contact, it was a wholly different sort of hunger which overcame you. Instead of the heat he usually made you feel, it was a comfortable warmth that was in your chest. It reminded you of a bonfire or of drinking your favorite hot drink on a cool autumn day.
“I want to watch you come,” he said, casually. “Were you close?”
You were so lost in his trustworthy, dreamy eyes, you almost forgot to reply. Quickly, you nodded and hummed.
“I would have already come, had you not pestered me to tell you all the details of my date,” you said. The way his cheeks beamed when he smiled made you feel as if your insides were turning into mush.
“I’m sorry. I’m your friend, aren’t I allowed to ask how your day went?” he asked.
“Of course you are,” you said. The word ‘friend’ echoed off every wall in your head until you wished you could have deleted it from the dictionary.
“I’ll make sure it feels extra good now,” he said, kissing your stomach. You shivered as you watched his gentle lips move lower, to your hips and the insides of your thighs. The touch felt like butterfly wings on your skin, and the tardiness of it made you impatient. When his tongue came in contact with your clit again, you sucked in a breath of surprise.
He tried to start slowly, but then you gripped his hair tightly, and carefully pushed him further. It was something you did often, a way to tell him you wanted more without having to use words. After all this time, he understood perfectly. Your clit was between his lips and his tongue flicked over the sensitive bundle of nerves with just the right amount of pleasure. It felt incredible, creating a funny sensation in the pit of your stomach. His fingers grazed over your slit until you were whimpering and shifting your hips, trying to make him hurry.
One of his digits slid into you easily, curling against your sweet spot, and it hit you only now how much you had missed him between your legs since he had stopped a few minutes ago. It made you feel as though you were suddenly overwhelmed with all of him, but you were willing to let the heat crash over you if it meant you could be close to him.
“Am I making it up to you now?” he asked as he pulled away merely for a breath. “I’ll turn your day into a good one after all.”
In a different tone his words would have sounded like the exact thing one would have expected to hear from a fuckboy in the bedroom. He could have boasted and bragged endlessly about how great he was with his tongue and fingers – he would have been right – but he didn’t mean it like that. You could tell from the uprightness and the authenticity in his voice that he really was doing his best because he wanted to make you feel better and turn your day around. Because you were special to him. Or so you desperately hoped.
Your legs wrapped around his shoulders as if you were trapping him between your thighs. But he was right there, and he would gladly stay for so much longer, and to say it puzzled you was an understatement. The boy who belonged to everybody, who was known by all of the campus, was treating you like you were royalty, and not the other way around. You moaned, his name inevitably falling from your lips. He added another finger and the slightest stretch made you lose your mind for a split second.
“That guy could have never made you feel this good, could he?” he suddenly asked. Your initial response was a helpless whine. You had been so close, and his talking had interrupted the otherworldly bliss for a moment.
“No, never,” you then whimpered shortly. ‘No’ was such a tiny word. It could barely encapsule what you truly meant to say. Which was that it would have never even gotten that far. That other guys couldn’t even have you at all. They didn’t get their turn to try and beat him. Not as of lately, at least. That you didn’t so much as dare to think about sleeping with other guys. That even before you had gone on the date, you had known it wouldn’t lead to anything. No guy could let you develop an interest on him in the same way the boy between your legs had done it. No other would be able to kidnap your brain like that. H/N was always there. Even when it was only you and your sex toys, you would automatically pretend it was him getting you off. You were so far gone that it was embarrassing how long it had taken you to admit it to yourself. But it was a colossal thing to confess to him, and you would never do that. Rejection would hurt a billion times more than whatever it was you two had now.
Your heart was racing as you closed your eyes. You had been so lost in thought, it was wondrous you hadn’t fallen yet. But you were right on the edge, making your breaths come out like puffs and a string of moans and swears sound from your lips. He too had stopped talking, concentrating on the task at hand, and judging by the way your back arched he was doing one hell of a good job.
“Oh my god- “ you whimpered. “I’m so close, H/N.”
This time he didn’t reply, which was for the best. Only a few seconds passed until you started to quiver and whine beneath him. You were going to outer space behind your eyelids as your high rushed through you. Your fingers curled and tightened in his locks while your legs clenched around his head. He was quick to pull your thighs apart again, still not being finished. For long seconds you swam in pleasure, with nothing on your mind but bursting stars. He was heaven, knowing precisely how far he could take it until you were too sensitive to take any more.
When you were at that point, he finally pulled away and looked up at your crumpled form. There was a lazy smile playing in the corner of your lips and your vision was hazy after having had your eyes closed for a while. He climbed up your body until his chest was against yours so he could really look at you.
“I get all of this without ever having been on a single date with you? I’m so lucky,” he said. You only smiled at him, at a loss for words. What were you to say? The two of you were clearly past the awkward dating stage already.
“I’m lucky you let me come over all the time,” you said. “I would have expected the campus fuckboy to be busier. To not have an empty spot in his bed every night.”
“Ah, shut up,” he said. “I’d rather have you here than a girl I don’t know at all. Look, I’m really tired so I don’t know how this will go…but can I?” He was on his knees, a tent visible in his boxers. With a questioning look, he was tugging them down his legs now.
“Of course,” you said. As you watched him roll on a condom, your ears perked up. Did that song have to come on shuffle just now? The coziest, most romantic love song you adored so much? You knew if you looked him in the eyes you’d be done for. But there wasn’t anywhere else to look when he settled between your legs and held up his weight with his forearms. His eyes were deep enough for you to get lost within a second. Distracting yourself was impossible. The one last thing you could do was to reach between the two of you and guide his length into you.
The song’s chorus came on, you looked at him once again, and suddenly you were all his. You didn’t need to tell him so. He thrust gently, almost carefully, like he had never done it with you. Your heart hammered against your ribcage so vivaciously, you wondered whether it had turned autonomous and was now trying to jump out of your body, onto his skin and through it, so it could nestle next to his own heart.
Neither of you spoke. Yet, there had never been so much chemistry, such a heavy amount of uncommunicated emotions between the two of you. You were ready to hang on his every word, should he decide to speak up. In your head rampaged a billion sentiments you needed him to know, but there was no option to express them adequately. Perhaps there were simply no words in the English language to declare your feelings for him.
Small whimpers and moans left your lips only for him to hear. Sometimes he moved a little quicker, gifting you with the most perfect sounds he could make. And to know you were the cause for it sent you into overdrive. His mouth was right above yours. If you lifted your head slightly, you could have kissed his sweet, sweet lips. But you were so afraid. What would he think? You had never kissed him during sex. Not softly, like you wanted it so terribly.
Even worse, you craved so much more than that. You wanted to pull him in, envelope his mouth in your own, crawl over the edge of his lips and reside in his chest for safety. Because that’s what he was. Comfort. Reassurance. Home. How foolish you had been, pretending this little fling would lead to nothing more. You really had told yourself this would work. No feelings. Just fun. You couldn’t deny having fun with him. He was the best company you had ever known, and he had become your most precious friend quickly. It was as if you had only been waiting for the silly, flirty boy to sit across from you in the library and make weak advances towards you.
The love song tuned out slowly, replaced by something more sensual and sinful. In accordance with the new background noise, he gripped your hips a little meaner and went faster. You barely noticed how his breathing had sped up as he was getting closer to his orgasm. A trance had overcome you, transfixing you on his godlike features and how much it hurt to know you couldn’t call him yours. In your head you were made for each other. They always said to date your best friend, didn’t they? You could try to turn back time, go back to your first meeting place, at the party. See if things would turn out different. But you knew they wouldn’t. As much as your fear tried to suppress it – you would take the same path again, stumbling head-first into his arms and letting him into your life like a crashing wave of laughter and heart-crushing conversations.
Now you reflected in despair, how he had taken your heart in a storm, without having to try too hard. And worst of all, you were okay with it. Your heart was secure with him, you thought. The feelings yearned to be spoken out loud, but you couldn’t bring yourself to do it.
“You feel so good,” he said. “Always, so fucking good.”
He snapped his hips against yours, burying his cock deep inside of you and all you could muster was a hum of agreement. This is what you got for keeping him at arms-length from the beginning. Wasn’t it you who had challenged him to be friends and only that? Perhaps you would be okay, so long as no one else called him theirs either. You could go on like this, letting him use you for sexual relief and making him laugh when he needed it. Gladly, you would take the pain of not being allowed to love him with your whole being if it meant you could see him whenever you wanted. Exposing those silly emotions would wreck your friendship and you wouldn’t let it happen.
He grunted and only then, when he lowered his head into the crook of your neck and moaned your name, you realized he was reaching his high. Softly, you cradled his head in your hands, as if it was the last time you could hold him like this. When he put his forehead against yours, he had his eyes closed and his chest was moving steadier than before.
“You’re the best,” he whispered. “Stay the night?”
Should you have gone home, and missed him all night? Would you have regretted saying no while you curled up in bed with no Cheshire-cat-grin-boy to hold? Or were you to remain in his bed, and pray you would survive the torture of not speaking your mind? His skin radiated the most wonderful warmth and you wanted to trace his lips with your eyes until you fell asleep. That’s how quickly it was decided.
“Okay,” you answered.

Get off @whysojiminimnida ‘s dick. Seriously. If you’ve been following her blog and have been interacting and having a grand ol’ gay time talking about Jikook and their queer relationship but are now upset that we’re speculating on tm and jm then let me be the first to tell you that you’re a hypocrite. Shocking, yes, I know, how dare I call you out, the audacity I have, the gumption really.
YSJ* answered an ask that was sent to them, which then opened up a discourse for people to share their *OPINION* on the matter from *their view point*, something that surprisingly everyone is entitled to, crazy right?. What you all didn’t like was that some of us aren’t subscribed to the “tm gave him life changing opportunities” narrative, because Jimin got to where he is because he opened those damn doors himself. Do not speak ill of my bias, he’s Korea’s IT BOY for a reason you know, and to assume that his friendship with the squad benefitted him in a way that makes it seem opportunistic and shallow is such a shit narrative to push. Jesus, can’t it be that they are friends who like to hangout and just be normal? Why does it have to take on this ugly view that ONLY jimin has something to gain from, as if he was some charity case, I’ll have you know my bias has a lot to bring to the table as well, or do you selectively ignore the interviews that people from that squad have given, where they talk about things JM has taught them. Do some of you think about the things you say? Have you considered critical thinking? I highly recommend it. You’re on Jimin’s internet, and if you keep spreading misinformation about ✨my beloved✨ then you better be ready for when I hit you with facts. Also don’t tell ppl to “simmer down”, YOU guys are the ones upset by what we said, we aren’t even sizzling, you’ll know when people justifiably simmer.
Tumblr media
As for the queer point. Let’s be honest, twt is a wide platform that is 2nd when it comes to social interaction, where it has been know that artists, their companies, and gov officials check in on the discourse surrounding their fan engagement and the things being said about said artist, and you’re worried about a tumbler blog?. If that’s the hill you wanna fight on, do you I guess, but if you’re going to come out here like the protective queer social warrior you claim to be then you better have proof that you’re showing that energy to ALL of the comments about tm being gay being that have been made even TODAY. Some of you sit there and you call him a queer icon and what he’s done for his community but in the same breath you say “let’s not say he’s gay because he’s in the military”, so what is it? Do we praise him, do we not, do we abide BY YOUR rules, pls make a narrative and stick to it.
NO ONE was talking bad about tm by the way, NO ONE, we were just commenting on the ask that was sent, are we not allowed to do that?!. I 1000% agree with YSJ and what she had to say about hormones, attraction and all that good stuff - I’m literally loosing energy having point out to you guys that some of you are a bunch of hypocrites. Leave my jungkook alone, he is not jeonjealous, he isn’t some dramatic diva, he’s literally just a human with emotions 😭. You don’t deserve my jungkookie.
In conclusion before you even come after YSJ and attacking them because you lack basic common sense then please take a moment, breathe in and out and ask yourself if it’s worth your time, and if it is, you better be ready for people to agree as well as disagree with your point.
YSJ* because YSoJimin, and also YSL is one of jiminies favorite brands and YSJ happens to be one of MY favorite brands.
Tumblr media
Cue the MisterWives playlist because not only am I dating at least five of y’all now (should we talk poly ships or….) I might be engaged to @ozele by next weekend.
youtube
ALSO
I’m kinda over Taemin now.
I’m over him in the same way I sometimes get over Taehyung. I have no shame and I’m honest so sometime I just get kinda like…
Listen, man. I still love you, personally. You’re amazing, I adore you, love your work and everything you stand for BUT
Your solo stans and weirdo shippers just piss me RIGHT THE FUCK OFF so I’m gonna need to love you quietly and in private for a little while.
Tumblr media
Fortunately Taehyung has been very nice about it.
I don’t know because apparently I am way more visible to Taemin personally according to his personal representatives, but I am hopeful that he too will be okay with a little break from my attention.
Tumblr media
Well damn.

for context, someone tried to stir shit asking izzy about you meeting a gentle reader, and he answered with "we don't talk about that thing here" because he hasn't talked about you in months. another anon brought you up again, probably the same one, and izzy once again deflected the ask by talking about his own writing. now that that's failed, they came to your inbox to bait you. izzy never actually called you "that thing" in that way that anon is implying. they just want drama.
Sigh
Listen to me well:
1. I want everyone to absorb this. Hell, read it a couple of times. There may have been a time, I’d trust or open up to people after the experiment. There may have been a time I’d be transparent as much as my contracts allow. There may have been a time I’d have clarified all the things left unclarified, explained intent and methodology, outline the many data sets I gathered and why and how. There may have been a time I said “so you were wrong about all of the following and here is why” or explained why I allowed some rumors and argued others. One thing I want to make very crystal fucking clear right now: I am not stupid. I’m in fact, very intelligent. I’m not bragging, as I know there are many people of incredible intelligence, but where I work very well is in a few areas. It’s the one attribute of mine that I take pride in. Everything I have ever done is highly thought out, planned, weighed and written with great care. I put years and thousands of dollars, and effort into my project. I stayed up nights talking people off ledges, organized events, tried to build a community outside of my experiment, so there may have been a time I could say “no harm no foul. After all, it was an experiment” but that time came and went and the people involved behaved so absolutely atrociously that I will not be doing any of that. Not because of fear. Because of anger. I owe no one a “bygones”.
So I will not be entertaining any explanation of his terrible behavior from a third party. If he has one iota of self-awareness, he will know that an apology from his own mouth for the unfair and incorrect harassment he’s perpetrated for years would be lovely, but I don’t expect it. In polite society, you don’t actually have the right to say the things he’s said about me, any one of which would be grounds for libel in every first world nation, assuming my pen name actually connected to my real name. I’m sorry it seems no one really knows how people ought to behave anymore. He worked somewhat diligently if petulantly to ruin my friendships, destroy my data, vilify me, and mock me. So no…you don’t get to explain his behavior to me. If he wants it explained, he can damn well do it himself.
2. I want you to absorb this too anon, because it’s clear you apparently travel between both blogs, meaning you’re not precisely a friend to me, so please listen carefully. Do not defend people. People who care about you, don’t need your defense and will want to keep you safe from bother. People who care about you don’t want the consequences of their actions to hurt their friends. Unless someone is being actively harmed by an opponent they can’t beat, stay the hell out. Why? Because bias will always lead you astray. You’re trying to justify, rationalize, and explain away what he said; something that was obviously not a good word choice assuming it meant what you say it did. However:
3. There is no explanation for “that thing” in any grammatical framework I know. Then again, I’ve been reading through all Izzy’s helpful grammatical advice, when he tried actually doing critique, so I’m sure he knows better than I. “That thing” is a reply to what, do you think? “We don’t talk about that thing”…what thing? The situation, the person I met, me? The only thing that makes sense is that the object refers to me. If he didn’t want it to read that way, then he should have put a great deal more into how he writes. “That thing” with regard to me, is a fucking disgusting thing to say. He knows it. You know it, or you wouldn’t be trying to defend him while he sits silent and cowardly. So if it didn’t mean me, then maybe he should be the one to specify eh, anon? That’s how decent people behave. If he wasn’t depersonalizing me, then he needs to say that. He needs to be held to the same standard he demanded of me.
4. So he doesn’t talk about me anymore eh? How odd. I’m fairly certain my name is still on his blog. Still. After I repeatedly, since the first encounter, politely asked for it to be removed, as I take it as both a slap in the face and unprofessional. It doesn’t matter if it’s not my real name. It’s my intellectual property by law. Continuing to use it while advertising his own writing is also unprofessional and no publisher would ever allow such a thing. He’s not talking about me anymore, why? It ended the day I made it abundantly clear I absolutely do have what I have and was doing what I was doing. Then of a sudden? They stop. They stopped, not because it was right, but because they looked like the assholes they frankly are. He stopped talking about me, not as an apology, but as a consequence. And what didn’t he do? The one thing I asked him to from the very beginning. So if he really wants to devote his time to other things and stop being a bully, then he needs to do the right thing, and get rid of my name. Not to mention the fact that if he finds me so repugnant, he shouldn’t have put it on in the first place. Not only did he refuse, but he argued for several reasons why he will keep doing it anyway, principally, that I should be flattered. Remember back when I began flirting with him to illustrate that only someone who loves me ought to be spending so much time on me, and he accused me of sexual harassment? Should I say he should be flattered? No. That’s wrong. So what in the name of fucking St Peter gives him license to say such a thing to me? He is a bully and he doesn’t want to stop being one. So now that there are three separate studies of his behavior, suddenly he will stop, but he will keep that one thing he knows upsets me. Like a trophy. So I’m sorry if I am unable to hear any justifications made of his behavior over the din of my disgust.
5. Did you somehow miss the part of my post when I said I do not care, will not care, am apathetic to an explanation, and frankly would prefer to completely forget him altogether, as I shall do before the century is out? I was fairly plain. Do not visit my blog, if you visit his too. I’m finished learning about him. If he wants me to notice him, he can do better than stealing my name and being a shite. He can do the right thing and then impress me with his writing.
So to recap: I’m not talking to one more person about Izzy until he comes to talk this over with me directly, I will accept an apology and for my name to be removed. If that is given, I will cease talking about him, and he can walk away with no damage to his reputation. Those are the options. If he doesn’t like that? That’s what I expected and so be it. We know who he is.
Otherwise I have absolutely nothing left to say about this.

Lmaoooo I think it’s so funny to see the same people who used to cry about ‘facts not feelings’ are the same one’s having whole ass tantrums when they’re proven wrong about antiblack racism, with facts that black people have not only experienced but also went to school to study for, and now all of a sudden these same people are going ‘uwu so I’m not allowed to have x opinion or write about x topic if I don’t have the experience? That’s racist uwu’
Like...weren’t y’all the ones who have constantly pushed the narrative that unless someone has undeniable proof about a specific topic, which is definitely the case now in an era where information is pretty damn accessible on a large scale (even in rural areas like my town), then the fact should overtake any baseless opinions or ‘feelings’ about that topic??
Why are y’all crying racism when black people tell you that something you’ve said or done is explicitly and/or unknowingly racist against them, while providing the historical context and sources of their claim? Isn’t that what y’all wanted?? 😂 Y’all claim that you want ‘proof’ yet when it’s given to y’all, y’all immediately move the goal posts to your own convenience and complain about how ‘that’s not what I meant,’ or, ‘no, that’s not what I was doing and you’re racist for saying that I’m racist uwu’.
Listen, I don’t care what you wanna write about. At the end of the day, no one can stop you from writing, saying, and doing whatever it is you want to do. The problem that continues to come up, time and time again though, is the fact that those of y’all with this mindset are dead set on pretending you have a ‘neutral’ view of the world and only listen to ‘facts’ while completely dismissing any and all information that can (and often does) prove y’all wrong about your implicit biases (which no one is completely free of having and requires years of unlearning the inherent prejudices we are fed from childhood).
Y’all don’t know how to take criticism about your views, which y’all choose to share on a public blogging platform, nor can y’all take any amount of accountability for being wrong and spreading misinformation that directly supports your biases.
I’m just saying...I just find is funny /s that y’all were so set on ‘owning the sjws’ for years while using such a vague phrase like ‘facts over feelings’ yet the moment the facts, studies, books, reports, pictures, and other sources prove y’all wrong and come from the very people y’all already have an implicit bias against (yes, even if you have black friends or partners), y’all end up folding like a damn omelette 😂
(Yes, y’all can reblog this but if you clown on this post, I’m blocking you.)

The ASoIaF fandom can be so frustrating sometimes.
It’s okay to admit that one doesn’t like this or that character. There’s nothing wrong in disliking a character.
I am pretty open on my blog about my indifference towards or dislike for Sansa because of her stans. I don’t make disclaimers about how much I love the character before proceeding to criticize Sansa. I am not a Sansa stan and that’s okay. My blog is a place for me to jot down my thoughts and celebrate characters, books and shows I do like. If you love Sansa as a character, block me, don’t follow me etc.
What’s obnoxiously annoying are the folks who claim to love all the characters the same and then give their ‘unbiased’ opinions which are held up as canon facts because they came from neutral book reader experts. To hell with that nonsense.
These posts reek of hypocrisy and double standards. It often tears down some characters while subtly propping up others - and it’s gobbled up by the wider fandom as unbiased interpretation of the text.
One example is pushing forth the notion that calling Arya pretty (Something that both her father and brother tell her she is in the books) is wrong, it’s sexualizing her, it’s okay for Arya to be ugly, she’s canonically not pretty because Cat/Sansa said so and no other interpretation is allowed etc. And then the same person who says all this celebrates Sansa’s beauty and ships her with a 27 year old man who falls in lust with Sansa.
Or when they say that the Arya-Lyanna (and Sansa/Lyanna parallels, because it’s always important to mention Sansa with respect to Lyanna even if said person claims to not care about Lyanna as a character) parallels are overrated and not important and they don’t care about Robert’s Rebellion characters but on their blogs there’s all these posts, fanarts and meta about Elia Martell - a Robert’s Rebellion character.
A so called book expert would note that GRRM has several characters outright compare Arya to Lyanna or mistake Lyanna for Arya in the books while Sansa has no such comparison. But no, the unbiased book expert thinks that the Arya-Lyanna and Sansa-Lyanna parallels are equivalent and are both overrated.That post just annoyed me excessively into writing this long ass rant post.
Why are these neutral, unbiased folks so interested in stripping away from Arya’s story?
In the books Jeyne Poole is masquerading as Arya Stark - but that story is only Jeyne’s, has nothing to do with Arya or Arya’s importance to the North. 
Arya is a strong warg, Nymeria and her wolf pack are a ‘Chekov’s wolf pack’ that GRRM has hung on the wall  -  Our expert opinion is that Direwolves are not all that important in the grand scheme of things.
Arya is pretty - why needlessly call Arya pretty, it adds nothing to Arya’s story and is all about sexualizing a child.
Arya-Lyanna parallels - why do we need these parallels, Arya is distinct and interesting without them.
These aspects are all important parts of the character’s story. There are so many very well written essays exploring these concepts with respect to Arya’s journey of self discovery in the books, the narrative significance of her parallels to Lyanna, her bond with Nymeria and her warging talents. For those who are interested, here are two bloggers who actually like Arya and have written about her character and character arc.
https://donewithwoodenteeth.tumblr.com/meta-masterlist
https://ashotofjac.tumblr.com/tagged/arya-stark
Some of these same people will rush to condemn any reading of the books that does not have Sansa wielding power at the end as being ‘Sansa hate’. But they will have no issues to undermine and devalue Arya’s actual book story, the relationships she has, the parallels she has, the skillsets she has, her appearance, her importance to the current story happening in the North.
There is a whole ass plot currently in the books of Northerners rallying for Arya Stark and preparing for battle against the Boltons for Arya Stark. But that’s not important because it’s actually Jeyne Poole and Arya’s story is about sailing off west of westeros.  But hey, Sansa will definitely go North and hold power and that’s like 100% happening because we are the unbiased book experts and we say it is so.
Or when all else fails - Arya is a Mary Sue, she’s a fantasy character, she’s a ‘strong female character’ because she fights with a sword, people like her because she’s a tomboy who fights. Sansa is realistic, Sansa is complex - but here are all the essays that basically transfer Arya’s complexity and story to Sansa - because it fits more with their fave, because these aspects would fit better with the traditionally feminine character even though they never tire of talking about how GRRM is deconstructing tropes. Because the trope deconstruction is only applied to Arya, Jon and Dany. Never Sansa.
And honestly, why are these people reading a high fantasy series if they hate fantasy and fantasy characters so much? We love Sansa because she’s so non-magical! Then go read non-fiction books. They also twist Jon, Arya and Dany into ‘fantasy’ characters - despite these characters going through some very real and human experiences. What’s fantasy about Arya’s experiences in war torn Westeros, Jon dealing with bigotry at the wall, Dany trying to rebuild Meereen, while dealing with famine, disease and insurgency?
Or how Jon and Dany getting any kind of happy ending or becoming rulers would be so boring, sweet, predictable, conforming to tropes, a happy ending etc. But Sansa getting love, romance, going home, becoming the Stark in Winterfell, getting her fairy tale ending - that’s totally what GRRM is going to do! No trope deconstruction there!  In may ways, Benioff and Weiss’ ending is not all that surprising -  Mad Queen Dany, Jon remaining a bastard with the freefolk, Sansa having power as a leader - are all popular theories among bnfs in the fandom. D&D wanting to wind up the show quickly with easily found fan theories is not that much of a stretch.
ASoIaF reddit is equally frustrating. Instead of Sansa stan bnfs on tumblr who pretend to like Arya and Dany while subtly undermining their story and importance, on Asoiaf reddit it’s Stannis stans who dislike Jon and Dany because these characters present a challenge to Stannis. The mere suggestion that Jon may play a role in the battle against Ramsay sends them into frothing at the mouth rage. They hate Jon, Jon is a Gary Sue because he dared advice Stannis - the greatest general ever - on Northern military strategy. Never mind that Jon grew up in the North and learned from Ned, how dare Jon Snow know more than Stannis! Unacceptable!
And I love Stannis Baratheon. I want Stannis to crush and defeat the Boltons. But unlike reddit dudebros, I can see that he is a secondary character, a tragic character who is most probably going to perish and Jon takes over because Jon Snow is a central protagonist in the story.
I feel it’s the same with Sansa. IMO, GRRM clearly doesn’t see Sansa in the same way as he does Arya, Jon, Dany, Tyrion and Bran. Whenever he is asked questions about the books, book plots, long term arcs, endings, age gaps etc it’s these characters he often brings up and references. It’s these characters who are important to him.
And that’s why there’s a lot of undermining and undervaluing of these character’s and their stories, them being described as fantasy characters, tropes, Mary Sues and Gary Sues, ableist rhetoric about Tyrion and Bran to undermine them.
I am damned certain that if it was Sansa who had all the parallels to Lyanna, or if she was the warg, or Jeyne Poole was impersonating her, this would all be ‘VERY IMPORTANT’ and on all the gifsets and essays. But she isn’t. So fandom bnfs are reduced to talking about how these aspects are not all that important anyway.
It’s like how this quote - ‘You may be as different as the sun and the moon, but the same blood flows through both your hearts’ turns up on gifsets every other day on the Arya tag but this quote - ‘Sansa could never understand how two sisters, born only two years apart, could be so different. It would have been easier of Arya had been a bastard, like her half brother Jon. And Jon’s mother had been common, or so people whispered’ very rarely does and will not get reblogged when it does.
Or when Sansa sees Joffrey trying to kill Arya and sides with Joffrey or when Sansa throws Arya under the bus and tells the Lannisters that it’s Arya who is the traitor - just sisters being sisters y’all!
It’s all about maintaining a certain narrative about Sansa - and when others point out her actual relationship with Arya in the books, we are accused of hating and wanting Sansa dead and how we should be criticizing Tywin and the Mountain instead. This is nonsensical whataboutism and ignores that people talk about  these aspects of the books because sometimes bullying, getting mocked for one’s appearance, abuse and neglect from parental figures etc. can resonate with certain readers unlike getting one’s head smashed in by Frankenstein.
At the end of the day, I wish these people would be honest about the characters they like and relate to. We are all biased. That’s why our opinions and interpretations are subjective. There’s nothing wrong in saying, hey, I like Sansa more than Arya or Dany, I relate to her character more.
I relate to Jon Snow a lot, I see things from his POV, I would disagree with the characters who disagree with Jon,  I enjoy his story at the Wall and the North. My interpretations of the text are therefore colored by my bias towards Jon. 
For others, it’s Dany or Sansa or Arya or Tyrion or Jaime. And that’s okay because these are fictional characters and liking one more than the other is not going to earn anyone woke points and lead to women’s rights.
And finally, there’s nothing edgy or cool about disparaging the central protagonists of a high fantasy series as being fantasy characters - go read other books if one is not into fantasy.

I know my blog is basically dead, but I need to process my feelings about this situation with Lucas. 
Unfortunately, I think there is at least some truth to the allegations that have been made against him. The fact that SM cancelled ‘Jalapeno’ and all other associated activities is pretty damning to me. A lot of folks are quick to say SM is horrible and overreacting and making Lucas apologize for something he didn’t do. But I really don’t think so, looking back at how they’ve handled the ‘scandals’ that have come up while I’ve been following Kpop. For example, Chanyeol, who had similar allegations made against him - SM didn’t apologize, just kept quiet while they investigated further, and have now pressed charges. In his own apology, Chanyeol never says he did anything wrong, and instead told us we were never wrong to believe in him. This is VASTLY different to how SM has approached this situation with Lucas. Both the company and Lucas have basically admitted there was wrongdoing in their statements. 
Another reason I think the allegations are probably true is the sheer amount of detail in the second and third woman’s accounts of their relationships with Lucas. It’s not a bullshit story paired with some poorly edited photos. These women have receipts. They have dates and times. If they are both lying, it’s pretty elaborate (not to say certain crazies wouldn’t go this far, it just seems less likely). 
I’m not saying there isn’t room for doubt--it would be great if it wasn’t true--but I’m also perplexed by the absolute blind support of Lucas and absolute denial of even the possibility that he did anything wrong. This seems like a really unhealthy way to view these idols. They are human, so they’re bound to make mistakes, and some may actually just be, you know, shitty people. 
And Lucas might be one of those shitty people, which obviously sucks. I don’t know if he should lose his career over what he’s done - this is not Kris or Seungri levels of misconduct - but I think it’s likely SM might let him go, and if all this does turn out to be true, it’s probably the right decision. I have never agreed with how tight a leash entertainment companies keep their idols on, but this does feel different. It’s not like he was just sleeping with a ton of girls. I could care less about that. It’s the manipulation and lying, him taking advantage obvious power imbalance between him and his fans, that makes all this seem particularly bad to me. I would like to think he could be humbled and grow from this experience, but I’m not sure if people like that can. If it is true, I think allowing him to remain an idol would be condoning this behavior, and allowing him the opportunity to continue to try to take advantage of fans. 
Obviously, I don’t think SM should let Lucas go unless these allegations are proven true, but just given how this is being handled, I sort of feel like he’s already admitted to them that it is. 
Anyways, that’s just my take. I’m sorry if this situation has caused any of you stress and pain. It’s really difficult when someone you admire might not be who you thought they were. Lucas isn’t my bias, but I do stan WayV and SuperM, so he is one of my guys, so this is still very disappointing for me.

I SCREECHED WHEN I SAW YOUR REBLOG TAGS - finally somebody who loves Scream Queens. I’m actually on season two, episode two or three !! I cannot stand what Gigi did, but I think Hester was worse. I thought they were hilarious though.
Edit: I'm really sorry I went OFF it's something I'm incapable of not doing when talking about SQS apparently. I'll say again I'm too attached to this show sksksksk
Edit edit: Sorry I didn't know if you'd want me to answer this privately I probably should've answered privately straight away. Typing too fast and have a Newfoundland making my feet numb asjksjk
Edit edit edit: I'm on Chainsaw right now maybe that's why I talked this much but you know what it probably would've happened anyways
SKSKSK I DON'T SHUT UP ABOUT IT AND I'M NOT SORRY.
Seriously this is my SQS folder:
Tumblr media
(Yes BTS things is literally just SQS behind the scenes stuff I've gone through the two blogs I found here that give me more stuff than you can find on goddamn google.)
I LOVE the SQS villains with all my heart they are my poor little meows meows. Every villain in SQS (Yes, even character-butchered *spoiler*) is a sympathetic villain and I love them all so much,,
Gigi's the backbone to the entire present-timeline plot of SQS and all but two villains are traced back to her. Murder mama holds the show on puppet strings.
Hester deserved so much better than the retcon and I could go on about that for hours. She HAS the depth, she's just not allowed to use/show it the way everyone else is, which is so unfair that it makes me mad. The retcon's not canon <3
Boone's conflict with Gigi HURTS Ghost Stories has made me cry. His relationship with Hester hurts just as bad because we KNOW she couldn't bring herself to even try killing himmm
I won't go off too much about these three, I've got a rant with a mutual somewhere from a few weeks ago when I had a go at the damn wiki comments that make me cringe from the inaccuracy.
I could talk about Pete for hours but I won't sksksk. Boone's ex. His view of Grace was unhealthy from the start. My Glass Animals Devil. His death scene is one of the best scenes in the show (even with the inaccuracy of Hester being in his closet, which considering she'd called him over the phone and we know he hadn't left his room after leaving Grace with Wes that last time, she shouldn't have been)
I don't have a specific list of favorite SQS characters sksks I love them all so much. I adore how much depth SQS has it's so good I love it.
oH I feel like any person talking to me about SQS should know this about me:
Tumblr media
THESE IDIOTS SCALPED ME AND RUINED MY LIFE I L O V E MY IDIOTS SO MUCH.
Chanel's extreme bias toward Hester is amazing and Hester letting her go over and over (A really obvious moment of doing so in S2) and seeing her as a replica of Bethany and wanting her to see what she, Gigi, and Boone went through in Palmer rather than have Chanel dead PLEASE my idiots

picture  it ––––––  july  23rd ,  2019.  jackie  torrance  has  just  been  conceptualized.  i  have  no  idea  just  how  impactful  she  will  become.
wooow ,  two  years.  it’s  been  a  ride ,  i’m  not  going  to  lie.  i’ve  had  ups  and  downs ,  friendships  lost  and  friendships  gained.  but  through  it  all ,  i’ve  never  given  up  on  my  brainchild.  she’s  grown  and  evolved  from  a  simple ,   “ what  if  i  made  a  stephen  king  oc? ” ,   to  her  whole  entire  entity  with  a  universe  of  her  own.  it’s  truly  become  the  phrase ,   it’s  x’s  world  and  we’re  all  just  living  in  it.      this  one  thousand  precent  has  become   jackie’s  world.   and  i  am  so  glad  to  be  living  in  it.  jackie  has  become  such  a  huge  fixture  in  my  writing  life  that  after  being  told  time  and  time  again  if  her  story  was  a  book ,  so – and – so  would  read  it ,  i’ve  started  to  conceptualize  an  adaptation  that  can  be   published   one  day  without  being  sued  by  mr.  king.  lmao.
honestly ,  i  would’ve  never  imagined  being   here  with  her  and  having  such  a  positive  feedback  consensus.  so ,  there’s  a  few  people  who  have  been  around  from  the  start  or  has  just  given  so  much  to  myself  and  jackie  that  i  can’t  see  her  being  where  she  is  without  you.  and  i’d  like  to  take  this  moment  to   acknowledge   those  people.
note  :   this  is  going  to  get  long ,  so  i  need  to  put  this  under  the  cut.  i  also  need  to  say  this  isn’t  a  bias  list  or  meant  to  make  anyone  feel  badly.  these  people  have  just  been  absolutely  crucial  to  her  creative  process  and  i  feel  they  deserve  that  acknowledgement  and  thanks.
𝒄𝒂𝒔   ‘ aka ’   @crimefightr  +  @scarfwere      ––––––      before  jackie  was  even  on  a  blog ,  cas  was  here  to  love  her.  we  started  writing  with  her  and  isaac  on  wire  and  telegram.  isaac  was  totally  her  first  ship.  when  i  set  out  to  have  a  female  muse  who   doesn’t   like  any  sort  of  romance  past  sex  that  doesn’t  require  romantic  or  emotional  attachment ,  i  am   so   glad  i  had  you  to  help  me  explore  that  for  her.  you’ve  also  been  just  an  amazing  friend  who  has  been  there  for  me  more  years  than  i  can  recall.  so   thank  you.
𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒖   ‘ aka ’   @einherjcr  +  @rockedspace      ––––––      i  actually   met  you   because  of  jackie.  we  talked  about  this  not  long  ago  and  i  am  so  grateful.  you  improved  my  confidence  in  her  as  a  character ,  her  background  and  lore.  which  means  so  much  to  me  considering  your  own  creative  vision  with  the  kingfisher  lore  and  the  fact  you  have  three ,  now   four   whole  as  characters  stemming  from  one  vision.   so  to  be  complimented  from  you  was  absolutely  everything.  and  now  you’ve  helped  me  develop  an  alternative  timeline  where  she’s  a  single  mom ,  which  realistically  could’ve  happened  but  i   don’t  know   if  i  would’ve  thought  of  it  and  gone  through  with  it  without  your  interest  and  the  concept  of  my  it  verse  with  yourself  and  ash.  as  a  friend  you’ve  been  more  than  i  could  ever  ask  for.  your  selflessness  is  sometimes  a  downfall ,  but  i  try  to  be  there  for  you  although  i   know   i  am  never  there  as  much  as  you  are  for  me.  you  are  so  fucking  generous  and  caring  and  kind.  my  world  would  be   lost   without  you.  so  for  existing  and  allowing  me  to  be  a  part  of  your  life  past  a  fellow  writer?  jesus  fuck ,  just   thank  you.
𝒂𝒔𝒉   ‘ aka ’   @blondemattel  +  @unbelong​      ––––––      so ,  you’ve  become  an  absolute  joy  in  my  life  that  i  never  knew  i  needed.  but  now  that  i’ve  got  you ,  tough  shit  and  good  luck  getting  away.  a   huge  part   of  my  current  and  future  arcs  happened  because  of  you ,  whether  you  think  about  it  and  realize  it  or  not.  when  we  talked  about  andy  and  how  jackie  could  have  an  it  verse ,  she  also  adopted  danny  and  pantu’s  eddie.  which  then  stemmed  the  want  for  a  part  two  section  of  her  life.  she  had  a  child ,  she  wrote  all  these  books ,  she  went  through  hell  losing  danny  and  andy  both.  the  single  mom  then  translated  over  partly  to  her  alternate  timeline.  all  the  books  she  wrote  and  things  she  experienced  +  having  to  eliminate  the  sydney  equation  translated  into  arcs  six ,  seven ,  eight  and  beyond.  i  may  not  have  ever  told  you ,  but  you  have   punched  yourself   permanently  into  who  she  is  and  will  be.  and  that  is   everything   to  me.  just  as  much  as  you’ve  been  integrated  into  jackie’s  lore ,  you’ve  been  fit  into  the  jigsaw  puzzle   ( smirk_emoji  @  the  reference )   of  my  life.  i  adore  you ,  you’re  one  of  my  best  friends.   thank  you   for  always  staying  true  and  staying  you.
lastly ,  someone  more   new   to  jackie’s  story ,  yet   so  fucking  important.
𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒂   ‘ aka ’   @shinedied  +  @arbitaer      ––––––      so ,  this  all  started  from  a  multi  where  jackie  nor  any  sk  muse  existed.  you  let  me  slide  into  your  dms  and  gush  over  our  mutual  love  of  the  torrance  family.  i’ve  always  felt  weird  approaching  torrance  muses  with  jackie  until  i  know  the  mun  because  she   is   such  a  canon  affiliated  muse.  not  everyone  is  comfortable  about  familial  original  characters  to  their  canon  muses.  but  you  gave  me  a  chance ,  you  looked  at  her  blog ,  and  at  a  time  where  i  really  needed  someone ,  you  didn’t  even  know  it  but  your  interest  and  willingness  to  write  with  her   gave  me  hope   that  continuing  with  jackie  after  losing  someone  i  cared  for ,  was  the  right  decision.  you  and  i  don’t  write  ic  nearly  enough ,  but  the  massive  amount  of  talking  ooc  we’ve  done  about  daniel  and  his  cousin  have  warmed  my  heart  so  damn  much.  you’ve  helped  me  develop  her  relationship  with  dan  so  much  more  than  i  originally  had.  fuck ,  you  even  made  me  know  just  how  much  he  has  her  back  by  having  him  want  to  go  to  ‘salem’s  lot  with  her  to  kill  syd.  you’ve  allowed  me  to  just  know  and  explore  the  climax  of  her  story —   finding  her  family ,  getting  sober ,  and  getting  back  to  living.  that’s  just  so  important  to  me.  you  have  no  idea.
but  writing  aside ,  you’ve  been  so  sweet.  you’re  someone  who  i  trust ,  someone  i  know  i  can  confide  in  without  judgement.  we’ve  recently  spoke  about  this  as  well.  but  i  just  think  it’s  just  mind – boggling  how  i’d  never  reached  out  to  you  before  you  followed  that  multi.  because  you’re  such  an  awesome  person.  you  care  so  much  about  the  people  you  let  in ,  you’ve  lifted  me  up  and  supported  me  when  others  didn’t.  you’ve  never  judged  me  for  things  irl  that  people  i  thought  were  ‘ friends ’  were  all  too  eager  to  slam  me  for.  you’ve  just   been  there   for  me  and  that’s  all  i  could  ever  ask  for  in  a  friend.  you   truly   are  the  dan  to  my  jackie.  i  just  hope  we’re  a  little  less  fucked  up  than  them.  ; )

ok. uh first of all the mcyt fandom is very very inherently queer. while not every fan is queer obviously, the tumblr community is built on respect and acceptance. second: you are NOT bi or pan. you are NOT allowed to comment on the validity of either identity. it’s literally not that hard. bi = attraction to more than one gender/two or more genders, pan = attraction regardless of gender. that’s it. now shut up and stop getting involved in discourse that doesn’t concern you at all <3
you realize i am anti-pan strictly because i listen to bi voices and what bi people have said to me in addition to common sense, right? cause social media everywhere seems to have this collective agreement that we need to uplift voices of minorities we are not apart of when they speak about the issues they face, and then when we do y'all get mad cause we're "inserting ourselves where we don't belong" when that's literally a whole different malicious shitty thing to do.
also i've always found the "you can't speak on this at all ever under any circumstance unless it 100% agrees with us because you are not ___" to be completely bullshit (not even to mention the complete bias in that anyways). like yeah i can't speak over you on your issues or on a lot of things really but i can speak with you and i can make comments where it makes sense to.
if a cis person says neopronouns are stupid and harmful then they should be condemned because that's not their say and they don't use them. (if they can list WHY they are harmful then i'm willing to debate and debunk but i'm not gonna take them too seriously.) if a cis person (namely a lesbian but it doesn't really matter) says nonbinary people can be gay or lesbian then their opinion should not be prioritized BUT if their argument makes some fucking sense, and if it's something that we're working hard to get generally accepted by non-lesbians, then why should we condemn it? if a bi sapphic says lesbians can like men then they need to be shut down for their blatant lesbophobia. if a bi person supports the usage of the orange and pink lesbian flag because it's inclusive of many different lesbians But excludes mspec ones, that should be supported. OR, if a bi person does not like the orange and pink flag but has REASONS for it, they can state them and their opinion is valid BUT should not be prioritized and they should not have the final say. that's also something i'd argue with but i'm not gonna just block and dismiss them on the basis of being bi and "wrong", y'know?
so, my point is, i can speak on bi/pan discourse because i have logical reasoning and arguments for it and especially because i speak WITH bi people on this issue, but i understand that i am not on the front lines of the debate or the end-all-be-all. that doesn't mean i should just shut up and never speak up on how pannies affect bi people again, though.
not even to mention, even if you wanna disregard all of that, WE CAN STILL SPEAK ON PANSEXUALITY BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST BIPHOBIC, BUT INVALIDATING OF EVERY OTHER SEXUALITY AS WELL. by implying that you guys are the only ones who can love regardless of gender or parts or biology or whatever, you are ALSO lesbophobic, homophobic, etc. so if you wanna dismiss me speaking up on your little fandom's biphobia then you can't shut me up when i speak on its lesbophobia. argue with that.
anyways going back to your mcyt point idek what to say that which i haven't already said in [this post]. whatever the rest of the fandom is or isn't or does or doesn't do has absolutely no control over what i am or say or do. i'm my own person and i have free will, y'know. same with tumblr as a platform, i'm not violating any of their guidelines, rules, tos, policies, etc. so you can't forcefully change my opinions or get my blog shut down unless i'm actually spewing hatred or maliciously harassing anybody on the basis of anything... which i'm not. so.
like................. damn anon, congrats on proving every goddamn battleaxe bi's point that y'all pannies can't fucking listen or comprehend for shit and after coming across a decent point you just......... say something useless that has already been addressed a thousand fuckin times and then call it a proud gatcha moment. how about YOU shut up ty <3

Mod, who are your top 10 favorite characters and top 10 least favorite?
//I have actually been wanting to discuss something like this, so I’m glad someone brought it up to me.
//I’ll go through with this, but I won’t be discussing my least favorites, since I don’t want to bring any negativity, and to be honest, I enjoy writing pretty much everyone in this blog. I also fear if I share who my least favorites are in the main series, said characters won’t get as many asks, and I don’t want any unfair bias. I can definitely admit to hating Haiji though, because...well...he obviously won't be receiving any questions anymore. Besides, I doubt many people will disagree with me.
Honorable Mentions:
Makoto Naegi
Mahiru Koizumi
Kirumi Tojo
Kaede Akamatsu
Tsumugi Shirogane
Shuichi Saihara
Iroha Nijiue
Mikihiko Koyasunaga
Yoruko Kabuya
Tsurugi Kinjo
Uchui Porosen
Kibin Hatsudoki
//Though to be honest, everyone may as well be an honorable mention because I love writing every single one of these guys. Also, like I just said, don’t let this top 10 affect your asks. I love every character in this blog and I’m happy to make asks for each and every one of them. It was really hard to narrow it down to 10
#10: Tenko Chabashira
This might seem a little surprising, given that Tenko hasn't had a whole lot of screen time and story relevance so far. She's only been prominent in two arcs, Deadly Harmony and Novoselic Revolution, both of which she didn't have as much screen time as most of the other characters. However, not to spoil anything major, I have big plans for her, and what I've pulled out of her so far is something I'm proud of. My main goal is mainly to give her a bit of development, and tone down on the sexism element of her character. Not remove it entirely, mind you, because let's be real, Tenko unfortunately isn't Tenko without it, but basically to not do what the DR dev team did and make it the forefront of her character, while her other exceedingly good traits are just at the back until later on in the story.
#09: Kokichi Ouma
Kokichi is one of, if not, my favorite character in the original DR series. My main goal of him in this series is trying to grapple with his constantly changing attitude, mainly towards the DRV3 cast besides himself. At first he's glad to see them, then he turns spiteful towards Shuichi and Kaede when they try to fight him, then he straight up just abandons them and attempts to cut off contact. As he is right now, he's conflicted about how to feel about everyone. Sure, they all still hate him, but during Cabaret Kyojin's they came to his defense when he most needed it. That whole arc might've seemed pretty pointless and acted as needless filler, but my true intention of it was to flesh out the characters involved, mainly Kokichi and Kuripa. Speaking of which, that's another plot point that I'm looking forward to branching upon: the little companionship those two have going on right now.
#08: Monaca Towa
Monaca is a character I actually tend to struggle with in the grand scheme of things. The reason being that, arguably, she in canon is the second biggest antagonist in the series behind Junko. What I tried to do with Survivor though, is not make her an antagonist, but make her slowly become more and more redeemable, despite her actions. The reason why I went with this approach is mainly due to Monaca's last appearance in the series, where she states to Toko and Komaru that she's kind of just done with everything to do with Junko and Despair. I don't think it would be easy to bring her back as an antagonist because of THAT fiasco, and that is legitimately one of favorite scenes of her...which is funny because it's from DR3 and I kinda hate the anime. Her whole presence in Survivor is based around the idea of trying to seek redemption, but she doesn't outwardly want to admit this, nor does she really think she's worthy or deserving of said redemption. She's an adult now, and she grew a conscience. A guilty one that weighs her down and makes her come back to earth to basically settle things and make peace, and though it's been difficult, I love how she's turned out so far.
#07: Akira Tsuchiya
I understand many have their reservations about Akira after what he did this arc, but he's still legitimately one of my favorite villains in this blog because despite the fact that he's a psychopath who kills and ruins people all just for causing Despair, he's just kinda super relatable. He constantly lives with the attitude of just being done with everyone's shit, and I know a lot of DR fans can relate to that. He's also the kind of guy who marches to the beat of his own drum, which is obviously a very slow beat. He rarely ever does what Tsumugi tells him to do, unless the plan interests him or gives him something to do, and his character in general is based around the idea of "Shut-in NEET who just so happens to have a power complex." Overall, what makes him unique to me is just how normal he is, especially when he's compared to the chaotic sea that is the Danganronpa Villains.
#06: Mikan Tsumiki
Novoselic Revolution had the very important role in the story of mending Mikan. Without her efforts and the sacrifices she made in that arc, there's a high chance that the group would have failed to retake the kingdom from Angie and Mikihiko. It goes without saying that the screentime Mikan got in this arc was some of my absolute favorite moments on this blog from a writers perspective. A lot of people in DR dislike Mikan for her actions and character change in the third case of the second game, which I really don't think is fair. Mikan was just the character chosen to be afflicted with the Despair Disease. Nothing else would have been changed had it been a different character, so her role early on in Survivor is mainly her trying to come to terms with her actions, as well as things like making things right with Hiyoko (and Ibuki by extrension) and reevaluating whether or not she's a good person. Mikan is an emotionally and mentally broken child, and it's my full intent in my writing of her to heal her wounds like she does for so many other people.
#05: Narumi Osone
Easily my favorite Zetsubou villain in the blog. During Novoselic Revolution, I really buttered up how much I enjoyed writing Mikihiko, but in reality, I was just waiting for the Rebirth Duo (her and Akira) to burst onto the scene. She didn't make for as great a twist villain in Life and Lies of Akeru Yozora as I would've liked her to be, but even now, I still feel like she left an impact. I mean, she committed quite the number of atrocities. The main reason why I like Narumi though, is how she diverges from the rest of the Zetsubou group. While most of them are doing their evil things for reasons that constitute to causing as much Despair as possible, she does it for almost the complete opposite reason. She absolutely despises Despair, and the only reason she's with Organization Zetsubou, is so that she can patiently await and watch as the Hope that stems from the people fighting back. It's also plays into her ideal. Narumi is so obsessed with Hope that she believes that anyone and everyone who is without hope, and gives into Despair, doesn't deserve to live (and ideal that also allows her to easily hit it off with Nagito). To name the best example: The UUV. Their revenge fantasy is based around the Despair they feel post Ayumu and Marin's deaths, and not around the Hope of their goal of reforming society, even if by force. When Narumi notices this, is angers her so much she murders all of them in cold blood, believing them to be beyond redemption. As a final note, Narumi's violent nature and lust for bloodshed (and lest not forget her weird obsession with Makoto) is also made all the more tragic when you remember she's literally just a 14 year old kid with not a lot of life experience. For someone to be this far gone at such a young age is pretty depressing, but it also provides me with a lot of great writing opportunities, and god damn it she isn't a fun character to write.
#04: Mukuro Ikusaba.
I could pretty much just copy/paste the basic things I said about Monaca's personal conflict for Mukuro, but on a much more extreme level. This is something that I plan on actually branching on later down the line, but Mukuro's backstory and reason why she has a presence here is briefly mentioned by Sayaka in one post. To sum up what she said, when the Foundation were first starting to use the machines to bring back the victims of the first killing game, Makoto was the one who suggested possibly bringing Mukuro back, something that understandably, his classmates initially were against. However, at the time, Kyoko was still new to being the Foundation Chairwoman, and Makoto very much pressed the issue with her. Kyoko eventually agreed to the resurrection, but in exchange, any and all actions committed by the soldier, most notably any treacherous or bad ones, would subsequently be Makoto's responsibility. Of course, as you can imagine, Makoto accepted these terms, and Mukuro was resurrected. For a while afterwards, many were very wary of her presence, and most didn't outright accept her as a member of the Foundation, even when the Remnants of Despair officially signed up. What you have to remember is that Mukuro wasn't really brainwashed into helping Junko, at least not in the same way that the Remnants were. Most of what she did for Junko is what she did willingly, but Makoto felt that in reality, Mukuro was just another one of Junko's victims and she'd never known Hope in her life, which is why she turned out so chaotic, so his whole intention of reviving her was to redeem her honor, of which he was pretty much successful. The main trait of Mukuro's though that I tend to focus on, is arguably her most serious: her PTSD. Of all the characters who could have been hit hard with PTSD, it makes the most sense for it to be a soldier, and since the beginning of her revival, Mukuro has been cursed by the lingering ghost of her dead Despair sister. Junko's presence in her mind less drives Mukuro insane though, and simply makes her doubt herself and her presence, wondering if it was worth being revived, or whether or not she truly deserves to live. But regardless of how she feels, she's duty bound to the end, and still supports everyone unquestionably, especially towards those in her own branch being Makoto, her boss, the man who saved her, and of course her undeniable love interest, and Kuripa to whom she disciplines, but also acts as a mother/big sister figure to.
#03: Hajime Hinata.
It might just be me, but I feel like Hajime in particular is the fan fav in this blog. I feel he's shown up in more posts than any other character, which is fine by me given he's also one of my personal favorite characters, and is probably my favorite protagonist (it really changes depending on my mood, honestly, I think they're all as great as each other). The remnants of Despair's conflict is an obvious one that you commonly see in post-game fics such as this one, and in Survivor, and my personal opinion, Hajime is undoubtedly the one who has it the hardest. However, out of all of the characters in the series who HAVE trauma (and let's be real, that's undoubtedly a LOT of characters in both DR canon, and this blog) he's also undoubtedly the one who handles it the best. However, there is a limit to how much pressure he can take, and that causes him to lash out (like he did with Mahiru during Misfortune's Revenge, which I know we don't like to talk about but its the most notable example). He's been through a whole load of shit and the pressure is constantly crushing him like a gigantic boulder, yet he still forces himself to carry it. Outside of my own writing, Hajime has so many conflicting thoughts and trauma in other fics, and in Survivor, I don't intend to flat out copy them, but I do desire to live up to them. The reason why Hajime has so many burdens placed upon him, and as of Misfortune's Revenge now has double as many, yet is still able to keep going strong, is because he's no longer allowing himself to be weighed down by events that are in the past and out of his control. What makes his ideal unique, is that he has power, almost limitless amounts of it, but instead of focusing on what he can do with it, he's more conflicted and focused on what he CAN'T do, and changing the past is one thing he can't, and as of such doesn't focus on it. He only ever focuses on the present, and the future, and worries about that. And you've got to hand it to the guy, while it's definitely been better, his life is actually super good right now. He has at least 15 really great friends/found family members, a home on an island resort, an AI companion in his phone who will always help him out and support him, a smoking-hot red-haired girlfriend, a pretty good job and a lot more. For him, it's not simply a matter of abiding by the Foundation and fixing the chaos that he indirectly caused. It's also about the fear of losing what he has, and wanting to protect it.
#02: Ayumu Fujimori.
I've said this one or two times before, but I think Ayumu turned out spectacular, and when I eventually had to kill him off, I felt really bad about doing so. The main reason why I removed him, and why I currently don't have any plans to bring him back, is due to my future plans, having him around would make little to no sense. He serves mainly as a catalyst for the new phase of the story, a much darker one, and with his death, we enter that phase. I know many people are worried about it, but it's not just Ayumu's reason for being in the story that makes him great. While it isn't obvious right away, the main character that I was trying to portray with him, is that he's basically the darker side of Hajime. The two of them share very similar traits in character, personality and backstory. Some notable points would be
Both of them are incredibly self-doubtful, and that self-doubt caused them to become Ultimate Hopes.
Both of them once held huge admiration for a powerful group of people. For Hajime it was Hope's Peak and for Ayumu it was the Japanese Government
Said power called them useless, which led to their transformation
Both have pretty sad backstories, which involve two different types of cruel parents and family's.
They both have a best friend who likes to sleep.
Said best friend ended up dying horribly right in front of them, with them both unable to do anything about it, which eventually leads them both to go insane and make some bad decisions.
Though their methods differ, ultimately, they both want the same thing: a brighter future for their friends and the people they love
Ayumu might be a threat, and an antagonist, but he doesn't really count as a "villain" per se. At the core, he's basically just a misguided young man, who the world treated like shit, so he just wants to get back at it. He's also an influential figure, pulling many people into his fight, and gaining many supporters outside of his friends in the UUV. For the short time he was on the blog, he was an absolute BLAST to write, and you can damn sure bet I'm going to miss him.
#01: Kuripa Kurafto.
This is undoubtedly the riskiest part of this list, especially since we're talking about an OC here, but I also think a lot of you guys saw this coming. I can understand why some of you might disagree with me on this placement, but I'll tell you now, if you're unimpressed, trust me, I am barely scratching the surface of Kuripa's character. As of such, I have to go on this based off of what's already known about him. His whole character I feel comes full circle at the end of the Ultra Despair Gang arc, in which the first monumental event in the blog actually happens: him killing Haiji Towa by stabbing him in the gut and sending him falling to his death. This is then followed by a speech to Makoto, Komaru, Toko and Byakuya, which basically lays out the key part of Kuripa's character, being his ideals. Every protagonist in Danganronpa goes by a certain ideal that contrasts that of their enemies. For Makoto, it's Hope, for Hajime, it's Future, and for Shuichi it's truth. Kuripa is the complete reverse, being a protagonist that represents Despair. He's not outright a villain, or even a generally bad guy, but he definitely has some apparent darkness to him, and is also incredibly violent when at the peak of rage. Of course, it all stems from a huge event in his life, the murder of his little sister Kotoko by the hands of Matta Gyalusetsu, which has led to his over-arcing conflict: his desire to find Matta and kill him as revenge. I tend to hate characters in stories who have the "My Sister is Dead" archetype or trope, but the main reason is because most characters who have that JUST have that, and for Kuripa that's something I'm trying to avoid. One of the most important parts of Kuripa's character is the contrast between his dark, almost psychopathic side that believes murder is a suitable way to indefinitely solve a problem, and his regular self, who to put simply, is a complete and total clown. He's like a walking meme, and makes a total fool out of himself, either through just being a mindless tomfool, a playful perv, or a loveable idiotic otaku. Still, his presence is indeed important to everyone around him, especially seen through his interactions with Makoto, Kibin, Mukuro, Uchui, Kokichi, The Kyojin's and the High Roller staff. This is another thing in regards to Kuripa's conflict that is quite saddening to. Similar to Hajime, as things currently stand, Kuripa has an excellent life. He's a successful animator who makes a lot of money from his work, he enjoys his time at the Future Foundation and really looks up to both Makoto and Mukuro who both treat him with a reciprocated amount of respect, he gets to work in tangent with his best friend, he has many pals, some of which are part of an anime club, and on top of it all, he has a cute girlfriend who playfully flirts back and forth with him all the time. He has everything a guy could possibly ever want, but due to his one track mind, he can never be satisfied knowing Kotoko's killer is still out there, and he will do whatever it takes to avenge her...even if he needs to cut a few people down to get it...
//Doing this kind of self-reflective character analysis is pretty refreshing and fun to be honest, although, doing it makes it sound like I have a big head, and am complementary of my own writing where I know many might disagree with my techniques and opinions. You're free to, believe me, but please keep any criticism constructive.
