Dreams Coming True
Fandom: The Last Five Years, Newsies Ship: Jamie Wellerstein x Katherine Pulitzer AN:  This idea came from my music going from the Newsies cast album to The Last Five Years soundtrack. I love the chemistry that Kara and Jeremy have and well this one shot was born. I hope you enjoy it and I'd love to know what you think!
Tumblr media
As soon as the divorce was final, it was like the appeal he had to women vanished. The thing he had going with Elise didn’t work out. It had truly just been a fling, unlike what he had thought before going to Ohio one last time. He threw himself into writing his next book then. He wasn’t going to just be someone who wrote one good book and then never be heard from again.
The parties started up again when it was time to release the latest book. Random House had really out done themselves this time. He knew more people this go around. Mingled with those he hadn’t seen in some time and spoke with the ones that had become his friends while answering questions from the press.
“Pen and paper, huh? Isn’t that a little old school?” Jamie asked as he approached the bar. He had been watching her for most of the evening. The lanyard around her neck informed him that she was with the press but those he had spoken to had a tape recorder or just their phones. Not to mention, she was gorgeous. She had a polite smile that just teased at the real thing. He was sure it could light up just about anything if it was unleashed.
“Maybe but it gets the job done and I don’t have to worry about batteries dying or trying to make out what the person said through the background chatter.” She shrugged, looking towards him, that polite smile making its appearance as she held out her hand. “Katherine Pulitzer, The New York Times.”
He took her hand, giving it a shake before letting go. “Jamie Wellerstein, author.” He smirked a bit before ordering another drink. “Any relation to the designer?” There were times Cathy would always come back. He remembered his ex-wife always complaining about it.
Katherine looked at the author with wide eyes. No one ever linked her to her cousin first. It was always her father since she too was a journalist. “Actually, yes. She’s my cousin.” She smiled fondly, smoothing out any wrinkles in her dress, which happened to be the original dress in the design that was named after her. “I’m surprised you didn’t ask about my father first.”
Jamie’s eyebrows furrowed. He really only knew about her cousin because of Cathy. Should he know who her father is? “I’m sorry but maybe I could get a refresher?”
She then laughed and he smiled, knowing that he had been right. Her entire face lit up. “Oh my god, you don’t know. I think you might just be my new favorite person.” She said in between her laughter. “Joseph Pulitzer, owned The World before selling it and going into semi-retirement to terrorize the grad students at Columbia University?”
He shook his head, still not knowing who this man was, which seemed to be just fine by Katherine. “That’s it. You are my new favorite person. Mind if I ask you a few questions?”
He smiled, motioning to her lanyard. “By all means. That’s what you’re here for after all.”
She finished off her drink and picked up her pen. “So how -”
“You’re not going to ask about my ex-wife, are you?” He interrupted her. Too many others had asked that tonight, starting off the same exact way and he just couldn’t any more.
She looked to him, brows furrowed. “No. Have people actually asked you that?”
He nodded his head, waiting for her to finish her original question.
“While I’m glad people have thought of men to ask that question to, it’s still just as tasteless if you had been a woman. I’m sorry my colleagues don’t have any class. I was going to ask how you found your inspiration for this book? It’s much different from your first, yet it still has the same heart that draws your reader in.” She looked to him expectantly.
He smiled fondly, explaining how he wanted a different kind of coming of age story. One where the main character stayed true to themselves and still completed their goals without changing their appearance or who they were. He called it a finding of purpose story.
Katherine smiled and it wasn’t the polite one he had been seeing her show everyone else once she got what she needed. “Great quote, thanks. Enjoy the rest of the evening.” She pushed away from the bar closing her notepad.
“You’re not staying around for the rest of it?” He asked, not wanting her to go just yet.
She shook her head. “No, I’ve got a deadline I need to make. It was great meeting you, Jamie.” She started making her way towards the door before turning back around to face him. “Off the record, I hope you find your own brigade.”
Jamie stared after her. How did this woman know? There was no way she could somehow guess that this story had spurred from all of his frustrations from these past few years.
                                                          ~~~
It had been months since they had last seen each other. He had printed out her review, a mix of wit, honest opinion, and persuasion to go get his book. It may not have had to do anything with the spike in book sales but he was definitely giving her that grateful credit. There was also the twitter conversations. It remained strictly about books but they had begun an exchange of recommendations for each other. Books turned into movies which turned into what to binge watch on Netflix.
Of course the others in their world began to gossip and Katherine had nipped it before it could grow into a large enough rumor for TMZ to cover. “If you do not wind up befriending the creators you write about, you’re doing your job wrong or are in the wrong business.” She had started a whole other controversy with that tweet that their small conversations went right back under the radar.
Random House had orchestrated another party. A different book launch for a different author and because he too was under the publishing house, he had been invited. He briefly wondered if she would be here. He hadn’t really noticed her before the first time they had met. Then again, he had been caught up in Cathy in the beginning.
At this point these parties had become a bit of a routine. Mingle here, grab a drink there, graze whatever food was laid out and then back to mingling. “Did you finish season one yet?” Her voice cut through the background noise as he was waiting for his drink.
“I’ve got like two more episodes. I still can’t believe how good it actually is.” He turned to face her, signaling for the bartender to come back over.
Tumblr media
Katherine placed her order and smiled up at him. He shouldn’t feel special that he got a genuine smile from her but it sure did make his heart flutter. “I told you, you would.”
“Yeah, yeah.” He waved her off with a laugh. “What’d ya think about this one?” He motioned to the party to signal he meant the book they were supposed to be celebrating tonight.
She shook her head. “Not his best work but not his worse either. He hit the sophomore slump bad so anything is better than his second book.”
He choked on his drink, not quite expecting that reply. “Yeah, this one was a little dry.”
“Can I quote you on that?”
“Keep me anonymous. We’re under the same publishing house after all. Don’t want to stir anything up.” He nodded.
“Thanks.” She scribbled down the quote and finished her drink. “Guess I’ll see you around then. Tell me what you think once you finish season one.”
“Wait, you’re leaving already?”
She gave him this look that said you should know by now. “I’m Cinderella at these things, remember. Midnight and I turn into a write up for not making deadline.”
“At least give me your number. It’ll make things so much easier.”
“Twitter’s not that hard to navigate. I should be at the top of your dms anyway. I’ve stayed too late already. I gotta go.” She waved and hurried off.
He let out a sigh as he watched her maneuver through the crowd. He brought his glass up to finish off his drink when he realized what she had said. ‘I’ve stayed too late already.’ Had she been waiting for him?
                                                         ~~~
The next party, she slipped a piece of paper into his pocket. He didn’t even realize it until he got home. He unfolded the torn piece of notebook paper and gasped. Pulling out his phone, he immediately tested the number.
If this is really Katherine. Tell me something that only she would say.
The fact that you don’t believe that I would give you my number is a little disheartening, Jamie.
The Writer: You did just slip it into my pocket without me realizing it.
The Critic: I was trying to keep Twittergate from happening again.
The Writer: The fact that you want to keep this friendship a secret is a little disheartening, Kath.
The Critic: Oh you’re hilarious. Ha. Ha.
The Writer: Did you make your deadline?
The Critic: I did. Thank you. Good night, Jamie.
The Writer: You don’t want to watch Casablanca with me?
The Critic: Can I get raincheck on that?
The Writer: How about tomorrow?
The Critic: Tomorrow works.
                                                         ~~~
They started out with weekly movie nights, switching off who chose the movie each week. Those movie nights then turned into sleep overs and those sleep overs turned into spending the weekend together. There were comments, glances, and touches that suggested she wanted more but he never pushed his luck. If someone like Katherine wanted to be in his life then he was going to do his very best to keep her around. The last time he rushed into something it didn’t end well.
She was so full of life and ambition. She wasn’t where she wanted to be but she had dreams of getting there. She worked so hard to be the best that she could be and he finally realized why people wanted to know her opinion. People listened, made decisions off of what she wrote and she wanted to use that influence somewhere other than the entertainment section. She could do it too, he knew she could. He just was nervous that all of this was going to wind up like the last time and he wasn’t sure if he could survive another five years of that misery.
He had decided to surprise her. He finished the meeting early and it was movie night. He knocked on her door before letting himself in. After a night where she lost complete track of time, she told him where she kept a spare key. Despite the tv set up for the movie she planned to watch tonight, Katherine was nowhere to be found.
Then he heard the crash and the shout.
Jamie walked down the hall to her in home office, knocking on the doorframe. “Is there a reason it looks like a storm blew through here?” Writing utensils were scattered along the floor. Notebooks and books mixed with them. Pages ripped to shreds and Katherine standing in the middle of the chaos.
“I tried to pitch another story again. Guess who was told to stick to reading books?” Frustration laced her voice as she stood in the midst of the mess she created. Her hands were on her hips as she was trying to catch her breath.
He didn’t even get a chance to respond before she launched into her rant. “I was because that’s all I am to them. Their favored book critic. No one cares that I’ve been at this since I finished my education, hell, even before that. No one cares that my stories are given to other writers who couldn’t get the people to care even if there were tear stains on the printed version. No one cares that the glass ceiling is actually just different floors to a fucking high rise building. No one cares that each time I rear back to punch my way through they tie my arm back to make sure I don’t.”
“Maybe -” She cut him off again.
“Don’t. I don’t need any advice. I’ve been fighting this bullshit for too long and I’ve tried everything. I even wrote my own fucking story and they rewrote everything and published it under someone else’s byline.”
“Then what do you want from me, Cathy?” He shouted, not being able to take this anymore. It was too similar, being cut off when all he was trying to do was help. He hadn’t even truly registered the words Katherine had said. They weren’t filled with pity, they were filled with anger and determination.
She pointed to the front door. Her poster had gone rigid from hearing the name of his ex-wife. She knew enough from the stories reported on the two and connected some dots from what little Jamie had told her. There was a new kind of anger behind her eyes. “For you to go.”
“What?” Things finally began to dawn on him. Oh, he truly messed up.
“Go and don’t you ever call me Cathy again. I am not her. This is just one more set back, one more rope for me to cut through. They’ll eventually run out and you’ll see my byline on the front page. I know you had an important meeting today and if you being here earlier than what we had decided on indicates anything, then I can’t be happier for you because you deserve everything you ever dreamed of. I just will not stand to be compared to your ex-wife when I have even the most minor of setbacks because I come out of it fighting even harder. So right now, you need to leave.”
Jamie looked at her in shock before he gathered himself and did as she asked. He had a lot of rethinking to do. Sure both women had ambition but unlike Cathy, Katherine knew her worth and she was going to prove it to everyone. Katherine wasn’t about to let anyone stand in her way.
                                                            ~~~
The Idiot: I’m sorry for calling you Cathy. You are a million miles away from her. I just wanted to say that and that whatever you do, you’ll always have me in your corner.
Katherine looked over at her phone, spoon sticking out of her mouth as the planned movie of the evening played. She read it over and sighed. His text was not helping her with her guilt for feeling like she overreacted. She was throwing a temper tantrum even if she thought she rightfully deserved it. It also reminded her that she lied a bit when she had told him, she had tried everything.
There was one solution she hadn’t tried yet. This one scared her to no end because it meant that she could potentially lose her job. Then again. She jumped up from the couch and hurried back into her office. She wasn’t going to get anywhere she wanted if she wasn’t willing to take some risks.
She set up a youtube channel, a blog, and changed her bio on twitter and instagram. Not just the book girl.
Her first blog and video went into detail about what she was doing, what she would be covering, and hoped that people would follow her. She drafted everything up, linked all of her profiles together, and then stared at her computer screen. This was it. Now or never. She was making a change for her future. She took a deep breath and hit publish. She tweeted a link to her blog post. She posted the thumbnail on her instagram with linking her new blog in her bio. She even went to her stories and linked it there with the swipe up option.
The One: Check out the link I just posted on twitter.
Katherine stared at her phone as she waited. The five minutes that passed felt like life times but when her phone dinged with his response, she felt like she could cry.
The Idiot: I’m so proud of you.
                                                           ~~~
People ate Katherine’s blog up. They loved it. She updated every Tuesday and Thursday with doing various small videos on instagram and twitter about certain stories. Companies began to ask to be sponsors and the day she had been waiting for finally came. The New York Times let her go. She was upset of course but as Jamie had reminded her, it allowed her to spend more time doing something she wanted to do. Luckily the sponsor money helped and she was able to tap into her trust fund if she needed.
Jamie had gotten a movie deal for his latest book. A party had been organized by not just Random House but by the production company as well. With Katherine no longer a part of the media list, he had to figure out how to ask her to join him. She had easily become his favorite part about these things.
“Hey Katherine?” Jamie looked up from his dessert.
“Hmm?” She hummed around her latest bite of pie.
“Would you want to be my plus one to this event tonight? And then well for every event after that?” His voice grew quieter and more rushed at his second question.
“Are you asking me on a proper date?” She leaned a little forward, eyebrow raised.
“If I am?”
“Then I’d say yes.” She whispered, smiling at him before leaning back and taking another bite of her dessert.
He grinned, going to take another bite of his as well when a question came to mind. “Wait, what do you mean by proper?”
“I haven’t been seeing anyone since our movie weekends started, have you?”
“No.” He shook his head. If he was honest ever since he met her, he had stopped looking at other women.
“Then this will be our first proper outing as a couple then, wouldn’t it?” She quirked her eyebrow up once again.
“So you’re saying you want to be my girlfriend?” He really couldn’t believe it. Then again she had always been the one to set the pace in their relationship.
“Yes.” She smiled and he was reminded of how he wondered what a genuine smile from her would look like. He was reminded that he now got them all the time.
“Then I guess we’re officially dating.” He matched her grin with one of his own. He didn’t think he’d been this happy in a long time.
“Picking me up at seven, then?” She asked, after finishing off her dessert.
“I’ll be there.” He promised.
                                                        ~~~
They still kept movie nights but the sleep overs definitely strayed away from sleeping in different areas and moved towards sleeping together. The night he found out that her father was Jewish but the only thing she practiced was Hannukah due to her Episcopalian mother was a night they missed the movie completely. They appeared at every outing together. She stayed by his side and never hid by the bar, steaming with jealousy. Despite working her ass off to make her blog the most successful it could be, she stayed on top of every party that he had to attend. She knew the book, researched the author, and wound up mingling like the best of them. Everytime he would compliment her, she would just brush it off and credit her mother for her behavior.
She had moved to covering the news during the week. On the weekends however, she would give a review of the newest book, tv show, theatre production, or movie she had seen that week. With the first one she did, she stated how it was important to remain in touch with her roots while bringing the hard hitting stuff throughout the week.
A few months into their new relationship, Katherine ran through the halls of Jamie’s apartment building. She knocked on his door, more like banged, until he opened it. His eyes were frantic until he realized the crazed person on the other side of the door was Katherine.
She squealed when he opened the door, raising her arms in the air in a victory celebration while bouncing on the balls of her feet. “I’m gonna be on the Today Show!”
“Oh my god!” He wrapped her in his embrace before picking her up and twirling her around a bit. “Congratulations! I knew you could do it.” He set her back down and ushered her inside. “Tell me everything.”
She launched into how she was getting a segment right before Kathy Lee and Hoda did theirs. It was going to be called Watch What Happens with Katherine Pulitzer. It would cover all the news stories she thought people needed to keep an eye on. She would then end it with a review of some sort or even an interview. They were going to allow her to keep the blog and actually encouraged her to keep it running. The only thing they were going to change was her youtube channel, making it more on brand and instead of uploading her own home made videos, they would upload video clips from her segments.
Jamie just grinned as he listened to Katherine tell him everything. She couldn’t even sit still, she was so excited. Once she was done, he pulled her in for a long, deep kiss. “I’m so proud of you.” He whispered after they separated.
Katherine grinned before pulling him down to her for another series of kisses. Needless to say, Jamie was late for his morning meeting that day.
                                                       ~~~
Katherine’s segment was going well. The rankings were beyond what NBC had predicted. The movie based off of Jamie’s second book was dubbed most anticipated and he was already working on a third book. Life was finally going the way that each of them had dreamed about. They had their dream careers. They had their dream relationship. They even had their dream living arrangement after they moved in together after the first year of them getting together. Jamie didn’t feel like things were moving too fast and Katherine finally felt seen and heard. Most importantly they had each other and the support from the other was something they never thought possible. All of their dreams really did finally come true.

If the Shoe Fits (Seth Rollins x Reader)
For @feathers-and-flesh-and-wrestling
It was a Friday night and I was at a bar seeing some local metal bands play. We were three bands in, and I needed a breather. I walked outside and sat on the curb. A few minutes later, the door opens. The music gets louder and falls softer as the door closes. 
“You need a jacket?” A low voice asked from behind me. I shook my head.
“No, thanks. I’m actually pretty sweaty and gross right now.” Both of us laughed softly.
“Yeah, you were moshing pretty hard in there.” The man stepped closer and sat beside me as I nodded. I went to answer but froze when I saw his face. Was that who I thought it was? No, it couldn’t be.
Then I saw his Black and Brave shirt and I knew. Seth Rollins was sitting next to me. I felt my cheeks flush and my heart start gaining momentum, but I couldn’t let him see me flustered. Not when I was sweaty with my hair sticking to my face.
His voice brought me out of my thoughts. “You know any of these bands?”
“I’ve gotten to know some of them but I don’t know them well. It’s just a nice cheap show.” He nodded in agreement. 
“You ever think about joining a band?” He quizzed. I raised my eyebrow.
“No way. I am so bad with music, and I don’t do spotlights. I just listen”
He leaned forward to rest his elbows on his knees. “Me too. Music isn’t my talent either. I wrestle.”
I turned toward him. “You wrestle?” I asked and he nodded, “Isn’t wrestling, like, super fake?”
Seth rolled his eyes at me. “Now you’re just trying to get me mad.” I smirked and shrugged. We sat talking for a long time. Music, animals, family, friends, almost anything under the sun. Before I knew it, all the bands were loading their equipment into their vans. Seth and I didn’t move. We sat there talking until they had all left.
Once everyone cleared out, I started shivering. I was so sweaty earlier, the cold air was refreshing. Now it’s just borderline painful.
“Ready for that jacket?” He asked, handing me an extra sweatshirt. I took it and put it on, letting the warmth swallow me whole. I was swimming in his clothes, but it just made me more comfortable. More time passed and I noticed myself slowly moving closer to him. He was warm. And smelled good.
Just then my phone vibrated. I looked at the text from my friend when I noticed the time- 3 in the morning. 
“Shit. I have to go.” I jumped up, shoving my phone into my pocket and grabbing my keys. I started walking away when he asked me why. I was only a few steps from my car when I replied, “I have work at 6!”
----
The next morning my alarm went off at 5:30. I groaned. Usually I was good about being home early enough when I had to work. I stretched and got up to get ready. I got to my bathroom and saw it in the mirror; I’m still wearing his sweatshirt. At first I felt bad about not giving it back, or even offering it back, but it was Seth Rollins. He could buy a thousand more of these things.
I struggled my way through work. Finally the clock hit noon and I was out of the parking lot by 12:02. When I got home I immediately jumped back in bed.
I checked my phone to find a million missed texts from my friend. 
You were at Bungalow’s last night right?
Hello?
(Y/N)?
Dude, did you see Seth Rollins there?? 
He’s been tweeting all morning about a girl he met there last night. Did you see him with anyone??
Dude!! You could be a superhero to Seth Rollins right now if you could tell him who this girl was!! You could be FAMOUS
I shot upright in bed and immediately opened twitter. I saw it. My timeline covered in retweets from people I know going crazy because Seth is asking about a girl from our town. I went to the original tweet.
To the girl last night at Bungalow’s, message me ASAP.
My heart was racing. My heart was telling me to message him, but my head said no. No, he won’t believe it’s you. No, he won’t want to talk when he sees you now. It was dark and he was drinking last night. No. And my head won.
I shut off my phone and turned over to sleep, but couldn't.
A few days go by and my friend comes violently knocking on my door. 
“Let’s go,” she demanded when I finally opened it.
“What? Go where?”
“Monday Night Raw, you idiot! You didn’t even tell me he was talking about YOU! I had to find out from descriptions and your lack of interest in finding out who it was! He wants to see you. So let’s GO!” 
At that point I knew I didn’t have a choice as she was dragging me to her car. 
“Okay, so we go to Raw. So what? We can’t just walk into his dressing room!” I reminded her.
“Oh honey, no dressing room needed. I know people. We’re going front row.”
I rolled my eyes but suddenly began to panic. What if he recognizes me? What if he doesn’t? Which one will be worse? I spent the whole show hiding my face and keeping my head down. Everything was okay until that music hit. His music. I sunk deeper into my seat as everyone around me stood up to scream Burn It Down with his song. I watched him hop into the ring and immediately go for the microphone.
“Boston always knows how to party, baby!” The crowd went wild. For a second I thought he had forgotten, and everything could go back to the way the were. I was wrong. So wrong.
“But I don’t think I’m really in a partying mood right now, guys.” He continued and the crowd booed. “If any of you follow me on twitter you know that I lost something a few days ago, and I haven’t been able to find it. I figured theres no one better to ask for help than the WWE Universe on national television.” The crowd cheered again. I pulled my hair over my face.
“If you are, or if you know the girl who I was with on Friday night, please stand up right now.” Half the girls in the arena stood up. I knew none of them, besides my friend. I tugged on her sleeve. “Sit the hell down right now.”
Seth was scanning the sea of people. So many girls claiming they were the one he was looking for. He just kept shaking his head. He scanned over me a few times, my heart beating faster each time he did. Finally, he gave up.
“If anyone knows who she is or how to contact her, please let me know.” He said, defeated, as he jumped out of the ring. Right as I thought I was out of the woods, he went around everyone for high fives and pictures. It wasn’t even possible for me to drop lower in my seat. I pulled my hair over my face again as he got closer. My friend had agreed not to scream my name on live television and was standing up for a high five. Suddenly he was standing right in front of me, and he stopped. He looked at me for a moment, almost moved on, and decided to stay.
He tapped my shoulder. “You okay?” He asked, referring to the fact I was basically hiding in a crowd instead of begging him for a picture. I nodded, but made the mistake of looking at him. As soon as I saw his eyes I knew. I knew that he knew. Before I knew it, I was in the biggest hug I’d ever received, but it was over faster than it began. Drew McIntyre had come and speared him out of nowhere. The bell rang and an impromptu match started.
After fifteen minutes of torture, waiting for what comes next, Seth had the whole crowd screaming Burn It Down. One curb stomp later and it was over. The bell rang again and he was announced the winner. He slid right under the bottom rope, lifted me over the barricade and helped me into the ring. 
My heart stopped beating. I was here with Seth Rollins in front of thousands of people. On national television. I was horrified. He took my hand and I calmed down a little bit. He lifted my arm as if I were the one who had won that match. He was handed a microphone, wrapped his hand around my waist and closed out the show with one line.
“I found my Cinderella.”

Dear Charlie,
It’s been awhile, right? I’ve decided to write you weekly letters, don’t know exactly why, but I really love your existence and knowing you’re here makes me feel better. I guess that’s why I’ve decide to do that.I don’t recall the last time I wrote you, I guess it was in the beginning of January. So let me apologize in advance for the long ass letter you’re about to get.
Today is Feb 22, the year has barely begun, I know. But Charlie, so many things already happened to me, and the best part of it? I’m actually okay ever since 2019 came around.
I’ve already told you Christmas is always a hard holiday for me, I don’t like it at all. Unfortunately it’s not only Christmas, this bad feeling lasts till february. So as soon as 2019 started, I was already expecting it to suck for the next couple month, but you know what? It didn’t. I hate the best New Year’s eve EVER. Me and my friends (15 of us) traveled to one of our friend’s house for three days and let me tell you, Charlie, ít was amazing, I really did had the time of my life. We got really drunk a few times, played smash, danced in the rain, cooked a lot of weird food and etc. I entered in 2019 on a great mood.
On the first week after New Year S came back to disturb my life. You remember her, right? The girl who broke my heart. She said she loved me very much and was thankful for me, cause I really did a lot for her and helped her through some thought moments of her life which is why she should have treated me better and a bunch of other shit. It made me mad, Charlie. It upset me how she could come back to the same “i’m sorry i love you” when I had said how much it hurt me, so the only thing I said was “pls don’t”. S obviously didn’t understand - like always - and started saying how amazing I was, how beautiful of a person I could be, that I deserved all the love in the world and bla bla bla. Honestly? I don’t believe in one single word that comes out of her mouth. Not after what she did to me, not after playing with my feeling like she did. I don’t know about you, Charlie, but I have a rant acc on twitter just to get things out of my chest and only 7 people know this acc. S was still one of them back in january. After the things she told me I tweeted “i’ve never wished this much to not know how to read like i’m wishing right now”. Oh boy, why did i ever do this. She started subtweeting me like a 12 yo child does, and i absolutely hate people that throw shade instead of talking there problems out, so I did what any decent mature person would do, I told her if she had something to say, she should say it to me, not subtweet me.
Whenever I’m too overwhelmed I can’t help but switch from english to my mother language so i started tweeting in my first language about mYSELF and clearly she had to make it about herself, distort everything - she was stupid enough to use google translate - and make herself the victim like she always does. The thing is, Charlie, that I no longer liked her, I still loved her, don’t get me wrong, but i didn’t liked her anymore. She was bad for me, she was one of the most toxic things in my life AND I KNEW IT, so I didn’t fall for her charms again, I didn’t feel bad for what I said. And you know what? She managed to try to make people believe our friend had turned me against her - she was being a bitch with this friend and even if I never take sides, this time I took our friends because S really did fucked up - and all my posts were about her. Once again the Cinderella complex strikes and she made the whole situation about herself. Well, to finish the telenovela, she blocked me. I don’t know why but the instant right after S blocked me I felt the weight of the whole world get off of my shoulders. I didn’t cry, didn’t feel any kind of sadness. Nothing. Just relief. That’s when I realized I needed to get her out of my life in every single way, so I shut her down, deleted her from every social media, deleted her number and moved on. You can never imagine how happy and relieved I felt, Charlie. I have no idea what’s going on with her life now and I hope I don’t get to cross paths with her ever again. I’m happy without her.
A few weeks after the drama with S, I realized that I was looking forward to celebrate my birthday. Do you understand that, Charlie? The first time I was excited for my birthday ever since my mom passed. I was literally making a countdown for Feb 12. I had hated my birthday for 4 years, Charlie. It was a time of the year where I would shut myself in my room and endlessly cry cause my mom wasn’t there and three days after that day it would be her death anniversary. Yes, my mom passed away three day after my birthday. I spent that birthday cleaning her vomit and helping her taking one of her lasts showers. You can imagine why I hated this date so much. So I also think you can understand a bit why it meant so much to me to finally feel okay to celebrate it. Charlie, my boy, it was the best week of the year. I went out four times with my friends, got a lot of free food and booze, the most horrible cake ever - i loved it tho -, a ridiculous birthday card with a BTS edit (yeah i do like kpop fuck it)  where they were at a birthday party with me and tons of baby alive dolls - it was so fucking creepy but i also love it -, got the news that I was traveling to go to my two favorite bands concert (The Maine and BTS), had my therapist tell me I was looking bright and happy for the first time in years and some other things. My birthday’s week was truly amazing, I didn’t even cry on my mom’s death anniversary, I was happy on that day.
I don’t exactly remember when this happened, but my uncle came out to me. I’ve always knew he was gay because he came out to my mom in 2012 (the only person that knew in our family)  and she told me about it, but I never asked him cause I knew he would do it when he felt comfortable enough. I took the chance and came out to him as well, which was funny since he was zero surprised like every single one of my friends. He also told me he started doing drag!!! I got so excited when he showed me his pictures in drag and boy, listen, my uncle’s drag is fucking gorgeous. I told him about RuPaul’s Drag Race and we spent that day watching it together. We bounded so much more after this day, Charlie. He made sure to let me know I wasn’t alone, I wasn’t supposed to fight through life by myself cause he was there for me and would always be there. I love him for being my only family that makes me feel safe and loved.
Well, Charlie, that was a bit of what happened after my last letter to you. I’m sorry for the giant letter and the typos, but I wanted to let you know that I’m finally okay. Life has been pretty good to me, I’ve been surrounded by people I love and love me back and I think that’s good enough for now. I hope 2019 be good to you just like it’s being to me. I’m extremely grateful for your life, Charlie. Thank you for always listening.
Love Always,
Bia.

Soooooo, ICYMI (I’m getting down with the buzz acronyms - go me, huh?!), towards the end of last week, Mark Hamill posted photoshopped pic of himself, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and Billy Dee Williams as their aged characters as seen in the ST.  Personally, I’d say judging from the thread it generated it was accepted and challenged in somewhat equal measure by those who chose to respond it.  I have to admit this and a recent article for The Independent online by journalist Clarisse Loughrey titled “Why There’s Still Hope For The Star Wars Fandom Yet”, made me think again about this labelled “toxic fandom”.
For those of us first fan generation, I personally take great affront at pretty much all of the descriptions thrown at us since December 2015, but I also recognise that due to the open social platforms where this is consistently happening, this has been one of the millions of social generational changes both for good and bad brought about by the invention of the mass internet.  As a lady of somewhat mature years, I personally feel that I don’t have the life hours to waste on social media sites, but yet to be part of the enormous conversation that LFL have kept a monitoring eye on since the first SW chatroom appeared online, one has to, to a degree.
I missed Hamill’s “missed opportunity” tweet and had it bought to my attention by @culturevulture73.  However, for a laugh, I thought I would look at the thread it had clearly generated.  As I said I feel there was an equal measure opinion,  however, looking at the thread, I did wonder if those who disagreed with the post realised that rather than being a sane voice, were actually inciting further toxicity through their need to respond.
There are a few cold, hard facts that those fans who want the fandom focus to be on the here and now simply can’t erase, and the first one is for 22 years the only SW we had were the OT on screen characters joined by the expanded characters from the former EU until 1999.  That’s 22 years for fans to develop a relationship, and that’s important for ongoing business.  The second one is nostalgia.  While LFL was under sole ownership, I think the company was able to navigate it’s diverging timelines and characters well enough.  Not being a massive merchandise collector, I couldn’t even begin to discuss or offer opinion (except in these broadest of strokes) on how focus was from the PT to 2012.  However, once LFL was sold to Disney this was going to change.  As it currently stands, corporate Disney is not about original creativity any more.  It’s acquisitions of Pixar, Marvel LFL and now Fox have proved that.  Why should they develop their own creativity or move once again into different area of film (remember Touchstone?) when they can acquire a company to do it for them.   When you sit and think about it, the only major ongoing cinematic franchise not under the Disney label is James Bond but I’m sure if the current MGM management were able to obtain agreement from EON Productions to asset strip, Iger would be in there like a shot because he is a consummate, and currently very astute, businessman.  Presently it is somewhat clear that Disney (when it comes to their own product) have commenced a carefully crafted race regarding IP copyrighted extension.  Why do you think they are now offering live action (or non-pen and paint animated) versions of some of their successful animated titles?  Of their back catalogue, I don’t think we will get a re-imagined “OLIVER & CO” or “THE BLACK CAULDRON” somehow but who knows?  Again it all started somewhat innocuously with “101 DALMATIONS” with Glenn Close, “MALEFICENT” with Angela Jolie, “CINDERELLA” directed by Kenneth Branagh (sorry, but that is sorta like having David Lean in the director’s chair!), “THE JUNGLE BOOK”, “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST”.  But suddenly it’s all got ratcheted up and audiences have had “MARY POPPINS RETURNS” and “DUMBO” with “THE LION KING”, “ALADDIN”, “MULAN” and “MALEFICENT 2” on their way.  I have no doubt that more are in development.  Disney is all about feeding audience nostalgia and making every character it owns pay their way (seriously, Browncoats - wait this one out, they’ll get to us, but I’m not sure we’ll like it when they do!) because that is how they keep their shareholders happy.  Nostalgia sells because we all look back.  A third one is that simply without us first gen fans who made SW a thing, there would be nothing to rail against.
So where does this social media/journalistic label “toxic fandom” come in this scenario?  Within the context of the Clarisse Loughrey article is definitively with those who have clearly gone down the revoltingly obnoxious racism and sexism paths because they are the easy surface issues to investigate.  On Twitter, the Dataracer account posted the Loughrey article with others to evidence that Disney/LFL have weaponised the social media treatment of both Ridley and Tran.  I am not for one single word here making light of what happened to these 2 women because it remains heinous, obnoxious and must be continually universally be condemned by this fandom, but this twitter post also has a point whether we like it or not.   A corporate entity, and those who comment are using this to bludgeon the very people who make this worthy enough to comment on.  Where some will shout “fake news”, fandom observers scream “toxic”.  This idea of what these 2 words, “toxic” and “fandom” are describing constantly twists by whoever is using them and are being used to describe the personally levelled hate as in the case of Ridley and Tran as cited by journalists to simply not liking the films as often used by Disney/LFL.  That’s a Grand Canyon of distance and also prompts a further thought of when is it OK to dislike?  And what is the actual issue, is it the mere act of offering a different viewpoint to the majority?  Or is it just saying “it sucks!” and not trying to explain why?  Or can it be that we all want to be heard but none of us can listen?  What I’m writing here is all so very simplistic to what is a deep issue for which there will never be a pan-fandom fix.
With the release of TFA, the ST has clearly divided the fandom and we now have many social media platforms upon which to vent our pleasure or displeasure.  Unfortunately, the easiest pushback is to bring up nostalgia and accuse older fans of not wanting to look to the present or the future as happened with Hamill’s tweet.  I can only poorly make an argument of my issues with the ST which lie with the story creatives and developers but I have noticed a rise in voices like mine.  I also believe that when it comes to the OT3, regardless of the agreements that Lucas obtained prior to selling to Disney, there would have been many points on that journey where Ford, Hamill and Fisher could have been told that plans have changed and they were not required.  That is all part of a film’s development and a scenario to be accepted as par for the course.  But someone made the concrete corporate decision to keep them, and not only keep them, but to have them as a focus in each film.  Surely, that decision in itself becomes a corporate fan pander because Disney/LFL needed to ensure complete financial success or what what the point of the venture?
Overnight, Hamill felt the need to clarify his first post which I think is appalling in itself, but that’s me.  As LFL continue to move forward with their SW plans, this is a situation that is never likely to improve and I have no doubt that in 20 years time the fans of SW then will be doing exactly the same to the SW fans of now.

Wonho - Overwatch
“Guys! GUYS!” Wonho said, running into the living room.
“What?!” Kihyun asked, jumping a little from his spot on the couch.
“The Overwatch tournament is on!” Wonho said, grabbing for the remote.
“Okay, and? You’re the only one here right now that wants to watch it so watch it in your room.” Hyungwon said, not letting go of the remote.
Not wanting to miss anything, Wonho ran to his room and fired up his laptop.
Opening the Twitch website, Wonho smiled at seeing the tournament as the featured stream.
Wonho has liked Overwatched since it’s release last year.  After competitive teams started surfacing, he started watching different ones to find a favorite.
One stuck out to him more than anyone, if for the name only, at first.
“Alright, we’re a few minutes away from starting the best of five finals between fan favorite Lunatic Hai, and underdog Monster eX. MX comes as somewhat of a Cinderella story in this.  Barely beating out every one of their previous competitors to make the playoffs.  Then showed tremendous team work in the playoffs, sweeping their series to make it into the grand finals.  Monster eX also has the only female competitive player from this series so far. Y/N is the team captain, having founded the team only weeks after the release of the game last May.”
As soon as the camera left the announcer, your face popped up.  Your team was on the stage behind all of your designated computers, and the camera man happened to be on you at the moment.  You smiled and gave out a few peace signs before winking cutely to the camera before it panned away.
Wonho felt the fanboy in him rejoice.
He smiled to himself, feeling proud of you, even though he had never met you in person.
Is this what our fans feel for us when they see us? He asked himself.
He grabbed his phone and sent out a tweet from his personal account.
“Currently watching OW tournament. I know who I’m rooting for, how about all of you? MX fighting!”
He set his phone down on the table and turned his full attention back to his computer.
The first two maps were dominated by Lunatic Hai. Wonho had never felt so intensely about a video game, as he did when he was watching you play.
He kept going back to his phone, tweeting out words of encouragement to your team.
Some of the guys came and went as they watched it with him, but Wonho was glued to his computer.
He was getting more and more excited as the time went on.
The third map could have been the last one, but Monster eX came back from behind to win it.
The fourth map was dominated by Monster eX and before Wonho realized it, they were on to the final map that would decide it all.
Wonho had put his laptop on his desk and was pacing around his room, unable to contain all of his emotions.
“You’ve got it bad” Changkyun said, walking into the bedroom.
“What?” Wonho asked, not tearing his eyes from the screen.
“What are the chances that you meet her?” Changkyun asked him, watching him pace.
“This isn’t about y/n.  This is such an intense final,  you have no idea.” Wonho responded.
“Yeah, and why are you watching it at all?”
“Because of yn of course.” Wonho said, before realizing he’d finally admitted it.  He’d never actually said why he started watching Overwatch so much, but they all kind of guessed.
“Whoomp, there it is.” Changkyun said, laughing as he walked back out the door.
Wonho was jumping up and down in his room, excited for grand finals outcome.
“Holy shit! That was so good!” Wonho yelled into his empty room. His attention was drawn back to his computer at the sound of them announcing the trophy ceremony.
“Well, we’re here with MX and Y/n.  How did you guys come back from 0-2 to win the finals?” the announcer asked.
“Great teamwork. It sounds cliche, but without communication, your team isn’t going to accomplish anything.  I prefer to play tank with Winston, but Lunatic Hai is such an amazing team that I knew for the last 3 maps I needed to play support instead, because they’re really dominant and get kills easily. So I switched to Mercy and that was kind of a turning point.” you said, smiling widely at the trophy.
“Coming into this tournament, you guys were pretty much unknown in the competitive world.  You have been playing as a team since launch, but this is your first time doing a tournament, how do you feel about getting that win?”
“It feels great.  We wanted to be solid as a team before entering into tournaments.  We thought, the more experience we had under our belt, the farther we would go.  I think it was the best decision for us a team to wait. I can’t thank the team enough for all the hard work we’ve all put in and how much of my crap they’ve had to deal with.” you said.
“Alright, last question.  Is there any meaning behind the name of your team?”
Wonho’s interest was peaked tenfold.  He knew it was more than likely just a coincidence that your name was Monster eX, but now he really wanted to know.
“Do you want the real story..or the story the guys came up with?” you asked, smirking at the rest of your team.
“Oh, this should be good...what’s the real story?”
“Oh, that’s simple. I’m a huge Monsta X fan.” you said shamelessly.
Wonho’s mind was blank.  There was no way that he had heard correctly.
“You’re talking megastar group Monsta X?” The announcer clarified.
“Absolutely.  When I first got the team together, I already had the name in place.  I thought it was just going to be a fun way to pass time, but then we started gaining popularity on streaming sites and in the game.  By that time, it was too late to change the name.  Sorry guys.” Wonho watched you turn to the rest of the team, giving them a huge smile.
Wonho wasn’t sure what he was feeling.  It was a mix between joy, and for some reason, anxiety.  He had been following your team for a year, and now he knew that you were just as much of a fan of his as he was of you.
“Funny you should say that, we’ve been following twitter feeds on the tournament and Monsta X’s Wonho seems to be a fan of your team.” the announcer said.
“No shit?!” you said, before realizing you’d swore. “Sorry.” you said, not sounding sorry in the slightest.
Wonho laughed lightly to himself as he continued to stare at the computer screen.
“There are multiple tweets from him...such as...MX fighting...You guys got this...and lastly, that’s the best ending to a tournament I’ve ever seen, y/n as Mercy is the way to go!”
“I honestly don’t know what to say to that.  It’s both exciting and slightly embarrassing to know that. Because now he knows I’m a fan of his also. So, um, just gotta say..MX FIGHTING!” you said, pumping your fist in the air.
Wonho watched you on his computer screen in a state of awe.
“Y/n, your fangirl is showing” one of your teammates said.
“I don’t care. This is the best day of my life.”
Mine too Wonho thought to himself.
“We did a little research and found out that Wonho is also a fan of Overwatch.  He’s said in many interviews that he likes playing in his spare time.” the announcer said.
“Yeah, I’d heard that. If you’re watching Wonho, hit me up sometime. I’d love to challenge you to a 1v1 mystery duel!” you said, knowing it was probably a long shot.
“Oh, we have a challenge.  Can’t wait to see if anything comes of this.  Once again, congratulations to Monster eX on their first tournament victory!!”
The stream had cut away from the team and back to the announcers, but Wonho didn’t notice.  He was too busy looking up the contact information for your organization.  He was never one to turn down a challenge.

Everything That Upset the Internet This Week
What is the web-o-sphere angry about this week? From the casting of a black actress as a fictional mermaid to another Taylor Swift feud, here’s everything you need to know:
Disney casts Halle Bailey in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid
THE STORY: Halle Bailey, one half of musical duo Chloe x Halle, was just announced as the new Ariel in Disney’s upcoming live action remake of the popular fairytale and people are upset—because she’s black. Some of them are going as far as “using science” to prove that she couldn’t possibly be black because she lives so far under the ocean that she wouldn’t have enough sun exposure to get darker skin. #NotMyAriel began trending on Twitter, not just because of the racist objections, but because of the many hilarious memes and tweets users fired back in defense of Bailey’s casting.
THE REACTION:
In my opinion, Ariel should look like Merida: White skin and red hair. #NotMyAriel pic.twitter.com/w86xobxMeI
— Kawhi to the Lakers (@Kawhi_to_LA) July 5, 2019
I'm offended by the casting of a woman of colour as Ariel.
They should have used an ACTUAL, real mermaid.
Sick and tired of this human privilege.#NotMyAriel
— ZUBY: (@ZubyMusic) July 5, 2019
#NotMyAriel ??? You remember when they painted Jake Gyllenhaal orange and called him Prince of Persia? Take a seat.
— erfan (@ETGIA) July 4, 2019
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: This marks the first time Disney has cast a woman of colour in the role of a traditionally white princess character for one of its new remakes (the last time was Brandy as Cinderella in 1997), and is a huge win for people who never get to see themselves represented in children’s fairytales, whose characters tend to be overwhelmingly white. The fact that this furor is happening over a character that’s not even human—she’s an entirely fictional mermaid—makes the pushback even more absurd.
Ed Sheeran gets pulled into the Taylor Swift-Scooter Braun Feud
THE STORY: Earlier this week Taylor Swift shared a lengthy and emotional post on Tumblr explaining that the music from her last six albums—from her time at record label Big Machine Records—would now be owned by Scooter Braun, a music industry executive at whose hands she says she suffered “incessant, manipulative bullying.” A whole host of celebs jumped in with their own two cents on the matter, from Justin Bieber to Demi Lovato to Cara Delevingne. But for some reason the person most of the internet got mad at was… Ed Sheeran.
THE REACTION:
Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes were both opening acts for Taylor Swift's tours and it's no doubt that she give them so much support when they were small artists and needed it but yet they both remain silent when she needs their support. Trash.
— emma stands with taylor 🦋 (@shookswiftie) July 1, 2019
It's kind of ironic that @edsheeran wouldn't be where he is if it wasn't for @taylorswift13 and now he's making music with @justinbieber. Reason no. one million why I've never really liked Ed. He's just another male asshole in the music industry. #IStandWithTaylor #Lover pic.twitter.com/4h7U27zusc
— Perfectly Imperfect 🇩🇪#WeStandWithTaylor (@Aquarian_Lady) June 30, 2019
Fuck Ed Sheeran he’s never stood up for Taylor ever. she fucking took him on tour and featured him on her album when he was growing his career. he writes his music just as well, only difference is as a man he got the pretty side of the coin and gets praise from being a writer
— ⋆ taylor swift’s lawyer (@iwishyouwoulds) July 1, 2019
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: Though he has not yet said anything publicly, Sheeran did respond to an Instagram comment on his account, saying “I have been speaking directly to her, like I always do,” which, fine. Instead of pointing fingers at all the secondary characters in this very public feud though, perhaps Swift fans should spend some more time actually looking into the specifics of the whole messy situation and Swift’s role in it as more than just a person wronged. Of course she has every reason to be upset that someone else legally owns the rights to (and will profit off) the music she spent years making but as Vox notes, it’s not uncommon for record companies to own an artist’s master recordings. It’s also hard to ignore the fact that a lot of this feud seems to be fuelled more by, ahem, bad blood than righteous indignation. In a lengthy piece on Complex.com titled “Taylor Swift Has a Long History of Omitting Facts to Fit Her Own Narrative,” the writer expounds on Swift’s tendency to play the victim and twist facts to suit her image. [For those looking to follow every step of this feud, journalist Yashar Ali has a handy thread going on Twitter.]
An animated sex scene in Euphoria
THE STORY: The new HBO show starring Zendaya and Storm Reid has been raising eyebrows since episode 1, when 30 penises were featured in a single scene. The latest to get the internet buzzing is an animated scene featuring the likenesses of Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson of One Direction. A character’s narrative arc on the show involves her penchant for creating One Direction fan fiction, illustrated in the show by a sex scene between Styles and Tomlinson. Fans were peeved, and Tomlinson himself took to Twitter to say: “I can categorically say that I was not contacted nor did I approve it.”
THE REACTION:
I’m? So? Confused? Who allowed Euphoria to use Harry & Louis’ names? Are lou & harry aware that this happened? Like they must be-it’s hbo so they probably had to like have some form of permission from lou & harry’s management or them themselves but why would anyone allow that?
— yaz ◟̽◞̽ (@kindlyloubear) June 30, 2019
@euphoriaHBO bruv you guys are old enough atleast think before you do something, isn’t that what old people tell us think first ? Just be respectful and delete the whole thing. @Harry_Styles @Louis_Tomlinson sorry for all this shit pic.twitter.com/7WCg4o8983
— adiba (@adiba_baba) July 1, 2019
i’ve never watched euphoria and i don’t plan on watching it,, but this shit is so nasty and embarrassing. things like this are the reason why they’re not close anymore. and the fact that they used harry and louis’ real names makes it worse. lawsuit wya ? pic.twitter.com/AWZnciMLfg
— nicole (@wybnicole) July 1, 2019
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE RAGE: Euphoria is a show that’s fully committed to portraying the dark, messy lives of teenagers, and what’s a more realistic reflection of teens’ weird obsessions than their love for explicit, detailed, NSFW fanfic? Throughout their time as bandmates in One Direction, Styles and Tomlinson were often “shipped” together in fanfic about them secretly being in a gay relationship. Larry Stylinson, a portmanteau of their names, became “a widespread conspiracy theory as One Direction grew more popular,” explains Vulture, with fans “overanalyz[ing] every single interaction between the two men.” Apparently it got to the point where Tomlinson said that his relationship with Styles suffered. “It made everything, I think on both fences, a little bit more unapproachable.” So it makes sense that he would be upset to see the fanfic resurrected, but the outrage of the fans themselves is a bit mystifying, considering they’re the ones responsible for hatching the theory in the first place.

Pete Davidson Gets TWO Tattoos Dedicated to Ariana Grande
Pete Davidson Gets TWO Tattoos Dedicated to Ariana Grande
Jeremy Brown - Latest News - My Hollywood News
Pete Davidson Gets TWO Tattoos Dedicated to Ariana Grande, New Hollywood Celebrities 2018.
youtube
Top Rated Celebrities and Most Popular Celebrities, A Wrinkle In Time Latest Story Song, Pete Davidson Gets TWO Tattoos Dedicated to Ariana Grande.
Hollywood Celebrities Latest Story 1964 New Celebrities 2019 & Walt Hollywood Studios Motion Pictures is an American film distributor owned by The Walt Hollywood Company. Established in 1953 as Buena Vista Film Distribution Company, the company handles theatrical distribution, marketing and promotion for films produced and released by the Walt Hollywood Studios, including Walt Hollywood Pictures, Walt Hollywood Animation Studios, Pixar Animation Studios, HollywoodToon Studios, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Hollywoodnature, and Touchstone Pictures. The division took on its current name in late 2007, which before that had been Buena Vista Pictures Distribution since 1987.
Where is Walt Hollywood buried frozen?
On December 15, 1966, animation legend Walt Hollywood died from complications of lung cancer, for which he had undergone surgery just over a month earlier. A private funeral was held the next day, and on December 17, his body was cremated and interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.
How many official Hollywood princesses are there?
As of 2017, the eleven characters considered part of the franchise are Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, and Merida. The franchise has released dolls, sing-along videos, apparel, home decor, toys, and a variety of other products featuring the Hollywood Princesses.
Why was Hollywoodland created?
With limited finances, Walt had to find affordable land. It was also important that his park be located near a major highway. In August of 1953, Hollywood and his partners selected a 160-acre orange grove in Anaheim, California to be the site of Hollywoodland. The construction of Hollywoodland began during the summer of 1954.
More Celebrity News ►►
Just days after Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson allegedly got matching cloud tattoos on their fingers, the Saturday Night Live comedian added some more ink to prove his love for his new girlfriend. Tattoo artist London Reese shared pictures that showed off Pete’s new body art, which was seemingly done in Los Angeles over the weekend.
The first new tattoo the SNL star got is a small black bunny ear mask behind his left ear. It is similar to the one Ariana wore for her Dangerous Woman album cover. The tattoo artist’s caption now reads QUOTE “We had a good night,” but it originally said QUOTE “We had a good night somewhere in the hills of Los Angeles. Pete loves him some Ariana.”
Pete also got Ariana’s initials tattooed on his right thumb. London shared a picture of it on his Instagram story and said QUOTE “PD [loves] AG.”
Ariana and Pete have only been dating for a couple weeks, so you can imagine that fans reacted pretty strongly when they saw the comedian’s new tattoos.
One person tweeted QUOTE “mac never got a tattoo for ari & they were together for 2 years, pete & ari been together for 3 weeks and he already got 2 tattoos. Girl.”
Someone else said QUOTE “Seeing how Pete Davidson got a tattoo for Ariana Grande after they’ve been dating for like no time at all, makes me question what I’m doing. Like my bf should have at least 10 tattoos of me by now”
Another person wrote QUOTE “I like Pete Robinson, but he’s stupid af for getting those tattoos. I give that relationship four months top. Did he even cover his other tattoo of his ex girlfriend?”
But not all reactions were negative. Some people actually support Pete’s decision and think it’s cute.
An Arianator tweeted QUOTE “can y’all not turn pete’s tattoos into a bad thing literally he’s showing his love and support for ariana what’s the harm in that ???”
If there was ever a question about if Pete is really into Ariana or not, it’s pretty dang clear now. What do you think about Pete getting tattoos for the singer? It is sweet, or stupid?

While You Were Offline: Hey YAll, Remember to Set Your Doomsday Clocks Forward
Hey, Starlee Kine. We still miss Mystery Show, but while we mourn its disappearance, why don’t you tell everyone what this past week has felt like?
Jesus you miss one day's worth of news and you're Luke returning home to his aunt and uncle on Tatooine.
— Starlee Kine (@StarleeKine) January 25, 2017
Yep, pretty much sums it up. This has been the week where reality has been rejected by those in charge, and perhaps with good reason, considering how badly reality is working out for… almost everyone? But if you’ve had the good luck to have been busy doing other things for the past seven days, here’s a quick roundup of what you might have missed over the last week of World Wide Web-spinning.
It’s the End of the World as We Know It and This Is Fine
What Happened: So, turns out that the Doomsday Clock was updated this week, for those of us having trouble dealing with the anxiety of the modern world. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: But perhaps all this naysaying and doom-mongering is just paranoia, and things aren’t as bad as they seem. Let us just check in with what the big brains at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientistsyou know, the people behind the Doomsday Clock—are saying to get some perspective.
Doomsday Clock moving from 3 minutes to midnight to 2 and a half minutes to midnight

Well, crap. So, what brought us that little bit closer to apocalypse? According to the official announcement, none other than the new President of the United States. Well, him and a general worldwide push towards nationalism. “Disturbing comments about the use and proliferation of nuclear weapons made by Donald Trump, as well as the expressed disbelief in the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change by both Trump and several of his cabinet appointees, affected the Board’s decision, as did the emergence of strident nationalism worldwide,” the release explains.
The change was, of course, picked up by multiple news outlets as everyone tried to just pretend everything was fine.
Certainly, there were plenty of doubters on Twitter:
Have to say, introducing half-minutes to the Doomsday Clock feels like a cop-out.

Real talk: The Doomsday Clock is stupid.

At least some people had a certain type of gallows humor
Can't wait to hear Donald Trump's response to the #doomsdayclock moving 2.5 mins to midnight. Probably has a clock that is bigger & better

The #DoomsdayClock has moved closer to Midnight. It's just like Cinderella. Except when the clock strikes 12 she turns into a mushroom.
— TwistedDoodles (@twisteddoodles) January 26, 2017
TBH, I'm surprised the Doomsday Clock isn't CLOSER to midnight…
— Hope Larson (@hopelarson) January 27, 2017
So, what's everyone doing for their last 2 min 30 sec on earth? #doomsdayclock
— Ezra Harper (@EmDrive16) January 27, 2017
That’s the spirit! Chins up, everyone The Takeaway: Well, this feels appropriate:
It's not at all concerning when #DOOMSDAYCLOCK is trending. Not at all. Everything is fine. http://pic.twitter.com/F0SzyH47TB

#SpicerFacts
What Happened: How do you know you’ve made it as White House Press Secretary? When your very first press appearance in the role turns you into an Internet meme. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: New White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer had a rough start to his new job last weekend, when his first appearance at the podium proved to be an argumentative one, as he basically said many wrong things about the size of the crowds for President Trump’s inauguration and everyone called him on it. The resultant online kerfuffle immediately became a meme as #SpicerFacts started trending and everyone offered up their own versions of reality:
President Trump finished the NY Times mini-crossword puzzle each day in roughly 15 seconds. #SpicerFacts

Unsurprisingly, the media couldn’t resist reporting on this meme, especially considering Spicer’s ire was directed towards the media. Soon, the very idea of #SpicerFacts had gained enough currency that it got a Twitter account of its very own, the surest sign that something had gone mainstream. Well, one of the signs, at least.
Announcers at an NBA game were making #SpicerFacts jokes this weekend. This moment broke through huge. And can't be put back in bottle.

So how could the White House fight back against this widespread acceptance of the idea that its Press Secretary had, in his very first official appearance, revealed himself to be unfamiliar with the truth? KellyAnne Conway had an idea: double down.

— Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) January 22, 2017
Yes, that’s actually a government official arguing that Spicer wasn’t actually being untruthful, he was just delivering “alternative facts.” Anyone want to make a guess at what became the next hashtag to trend on Twitter?

As sales of George Orwell’s 1984 spiked almost 10,000 percent (it is, after all, a book filled with alternative facts, or as it’s called in the book, doublespeak), the war on truth continued with Sean Spicer’s second press conference, in which he told reporters, “I think sometimes we can disagree with the facts.” If he seemed unclear about what words mean, thankfully the dictionary was there to throw some shade in his direction:
*whispers into the void* In contemporary use, fact is understood to refer to something with actual existence. https://t.co/gCKRZZm23c
— Merriam-Webster (@MerriamWebster) January 24, 2017
The Takeaway: Sometimes, the truth is out there all along, just mixed up somewhat.
Best. Anagram. Ever.

Did You Mean…?
What Happened: Sometimes, search functions give you what you need, if not necessarily what you wanted. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: Call it the surprise search gift of the week.
It's crazy who pops up when you search the word 'asshole.' on Twitter.
— BEEZ (@bugattibeez) January 26, 2017
Note: This isn’t still the case, so don’t go rushing to Twitter to try it for yourself right now. But, up until Wednesday evening, this was entirely true:
Search "asshole." Search "fascist." Search "racist." Search "worst."
What do you get? http://pic.twitter.com/v0rfqKCiHB
— Alex Goldschmidt (@alexandergold) January 26, 2017
The @realDonaldTrump account would also come up as a suggestion if you searched for “tiny hands,” although that was discovered after the fact. Twitter, meanwhile, was rather excited about this new discovery.
If you type "asshole" into the Twitter search bar Donald Trump's profile comes up lmfao who did this?
— Anthony (@OMGItsBirdman) January 23, 2017
y'all type "asshole" into the search bar and donald trump comes up sjjakhsjsha
— diego (@shadesof666) January 26, 2017
So anyway I typed "asshole" in the search bar and Donald Trump shows up
— Tay (@CakeFaceTay_) January 26, 2017
WHEN YOU SEARCH "asshole" it shows Trump http://pic.twitter.com/jnSJdejpe4
— Dank Memes (@DankMemes) January 26, 2017
Turns out, Twitter wasn’t the only place people got excited about this search suggestion; unsurprisingly, it got a lot of traction in the media. And why not? If Twitter was trolling Trump it would have seemed an awful lot like making a dig at the guy who has made the service very newsworthy in recent months.
But what if it wasn’t trolling?
Not a troll. Algorithm to find relevant accounts based on the "discussions" they are part of, i.e. lots of tweets to Trump using "asshole". https://t.co/0wlUntdKeV
— Izzy Galvez (@iglvzx) January 26, 2017
The Takeaway: Whether it was a legitimate algorithm or strange glitch, Trump was removed from those results pretty quickly after it became public. It was over almost as soon as it began, but let this serve as a lesson to randomly search for things on Twitter and see what comes up. (That is the lesson here, right?)
There Is a Tweet Tied to an Argument For Torture, What Do You Do?
What Happened: Turns out, Twitter is not so impressed with your ridiculous hypothetical moral dilemmas. Where It Blew Up: Twitter, media reports What Really Happened: Funny story: our new ppresident believes torture “absolutely works.” As people try to come to terms with what that actually means (FWIW, new Defense Secretary James Mattis disagrees), British comedian Lee Hurst took to Twitter with what we can only assume he thought was a compelling thought experiment.
Your baby is tied to a timebomb. You have the terrorist. He tells you you have 1 hour. Do you #torture him to find your baby or let it die?
— Lee Hurst (@2010LeeHurst) January 26, 2017
Let’s just say that Twitter, en masse, didn’t agree.
Simple. First you row the baby across the river. Then row back and get the time bomb and the goose, leaving the terrorist with the beans.
— Davey Jones (@DHBJones) January 26, 2017
Were you attached to a time bomb when you were a baby? I'd like to talk to you for a thing – DMs are open #journorequest
— josh pappenheim (@papsby) January 26, 2017
Good luck tying my baby to a time bomb. It takes me half an hour just to put a vest on him.
— Ben Davis (@bendavis_86) January 26, 2017
Okay, okay, but what if it were baby Hitler tied to a bomb you sent back in time?
— Kip Manley (@kiplet) January 26, 2017
For sale. Baby timebomb. Never used.
— Kieran Shiach (@KingImpulse) January 26, 2017
The Takeaway: There’s no way to avoid it: this pun just might have made the whole thing worthwhile:
"Lieutenant, they've strapped your baby to a bomb!"
"Don't worry. That won't…"
(puts on sunglasses)
"…RATTLE her."
YEAAAAHHHHHHH
