hi! ok I just wanted to ask someone who knows how tumblr works haha

so I found someone who writes amazing content so I decided to follow them. I binged lots of their fics earlier today and when I checked their profile again later, their profile doesn’t show. It seems they might have blocked me and I don’t know why :( I commented that I loved their fics and the comments are removed. my profile has my age and I am decently active on reposting & commenting on fics. This happened to me one other time too so I just am confused I guess :( I tried to message them but it said it wouldn’t go through so that makes me think I’m blocked? I guess I don’t know why a couple people blocked me? Just kinda made me sad bc I really enjoy their work but now I won’t be able to see anymore ☹️😢

happy to!! 💛

first thing you gotta remember that in all likelihood, your getting blocked is nothing personal. reasons for blocking someone on tumblr include but aren't limited to:

you don't have your age (range) listed in your bio/clearly visible on your blog

the age you have listed doesn't adhere to boundaries a blog has set (f.e. you're a minor, or it only says "18+" which i know many writers don't accept)

your blog is completely empty i.e. you don't post/reblog stuff

you don't reblog other people's writing

you spam like posts

you've never changed the default icon/header to something else

people don't vibe with the things you reblog

your theme is a colour they don't like

a lot of the time, it comes down to everyone's preferences. god knows i've been blocked by people and didn't understand why, but frankly it's none of my business. most likely, you won't ever find out, either. everyone is creating their own online space, and sometimes that means having a quick blocking finger. i'm sorry that you won't be able to read those stories anymore but you have to accept creators' boundaries.

however, there are some things you can do and try to prevent getting blocked in the future. these are only a couple of suggestions around tumblr etiquette i've picked up on over the years; if anyone else wants to chip in here, please do!!

1. make sure your blog is, by all appearances, that of a human being

this might sound stupid because of course, you are a human, but with the recent bot wars it's all the more important to double check for red flags.

check your url. does it include a random string of numbers, lots of dashes, just a name and an adjective? all of these have been indicative of porn bots and people might block you on sight.

change your icon and your header. yes, both of them. there are lots of creators on here who make wonderful fandom related headers and icons, or you can create your own with canva. just be sure to follow creators' rules and preferably reblog their creation

change your blog title. if your account is new, it will just say "untitled", which is another indication you might not be a human. use quotes, song lyrics, anything you enjoy

add a bio. this is where you put your name or nickname (you can make one up) age, age range, links to second blogs (if applicable), more quotes, whatever. i prefer my bio short and to the point, but that doesn't have to be you.

important: do this for all blogs and side blogs you use regularly. if you have a second blog for reblogging fics, you need to put up your age there as well, or at least visibly link to your main blog so creators can see you're not a minor. the harder it is to verify that you're an adult, the more likely it is that you will get blocked

2. know the different kinds of interactions on tumblr and navigate them well

there's a difference between liking, commenting, reblogging, and reposting, and it's important. lots of people use reblogging and reposting interchangeably, but that's actually incorrect and can lead to serious mishaps. let's dissect them one by one.

liking.

you're familiar with the like from other social media platforms. you tap a post twice or hit the little heart at the bottom of the post and it's added to your likes. wonderful, right? well. tumblr is a little different.

tumblr doesn't have an algorithm. let me say that again. there is no algorithm on tumblr. i guess there is, on the for you page, but that doesn't count because it's really shit. the only important thing on tumblr is your dashboard, and your dashboard only shows original posts and the reblogs of those posts from people you follow.

no one cares about your likes. your likes don't do shit. that's why creatives on here keep talking about reblogs. you need to reblog things on tumblr in order for them to get seen. it's a snowballing effect. likes are nice and all, but they're private. they're not contributing to a story or an artwork being seen by more people. they're essentially empty interaction. what's more, should a post get deleted for whatever reason, that post is gone for you forever.

i know some people use their likes as bookmarks for things they want to look at later, but i would strongly urge you not to do that. people block serial likers, because most of the time it is, sadly, very unlikely that they will come back and actually interact with the post again. that's just the way it is. we can thank tiktok and instagram for that. again, tumblr doesn't have an algorithm. if you want to genuinely support and encourage people on here, you need to do more than liking.

commenting.

this is a step up from liking, because you're actually interacting now. a comment will show up in the activity of the person whose post you left it on and of the original poster (op)—more on that distinction in a minute. comments are encouraged especially on ask/answer type posts, or as a reply to an earlier reblog.

when it comes to fanfic, there are, again, pros and cons. you can only leave a comment from your main blog, which means that even if you have a second account where you reblog fics, there's not necessarily a link between the two. this can lead to your getting blocked if you've never reblogged a fic to your main blog. on the other hand, if people comment on your fic without reblogging it, but they do reblog other people's fics, that can also rub creators the wrong way because it creates a strange sort of hierarchy: why those fics? why not mine?

important thing to note: i am not saying that to make anyone feel bad about "just" commenting, i just want you to be aware that this might go on in a creator's head. it has in mine. i'm very aware that this is a me problem, but it's also a reason why people might get blocked out of the blue, which is why i wanted to bring it up.

reblogging.

ah yes, reblogging. reblogging is the thing that makes tumblr tumblr, and it's so easy to do. you just hit the little 🔁 symbol at the bottom of the post, and boom, it's reblogged to your own blog. everyone who follows you can now see it on their dashboard, and if they reblog it, their followers can see it, and so on and so forth. every time someone reblogs a post from you, you will get a notification in your activity, and so will the op.

reblogs are the heart and soul of tumblr. yes, original posts are (usually) individual creations, but the community aspect of this site is born through the reblog. there are different variations on how to reblog. all are valid, because all help spreading posts around.

the empty reblog is the quickest option. there's literally a quick reblog option on mobile: if you hold your finger on the reblog button for a second or so, you will see your icon appear. if you swipe in that direction, the post gets immediately reblogged to your blog. something similar can be done on desktop with the xkit browser extension. it's fast, it's easy, it gets the job done. it's perfect for when you like a post but don't have anything specific to say/reply.

the reblog with tags is the second fastest option. tags, on tumblr, are sort of the sotto voce version of comments. yes, you can use tagging to organise your blog and make your posts easily findable (is that a word?) but the real fun begins when little asides are added. you can keysmash in the tags. you can put your thoughts in the tags. you can go full caps without it looking overwhelming in the actual post. if you're just starting to comment on things, the tags are a great place to start, because the actual post will keep looking the same; the tags are just a little additional bonus for both you and the creator. this is what you would use for the majority of posts that aren't works of art in any way, too, like text posts you want to find again, polls, photographs etc.

the reblog with additions though? oh boy. that's the real stuff. imagine it as clipping on your thoughts to the post, right there for everyone to see. you can add gifs, and memes, and change the font, and change the colour, and scream, and keysmash, and ramble without limitations. it's like catnip for the op. if you reblog a fic, a moodboard, a piece of art, a gifset, whatever it is, and you put your thoughts underneath? man, it's amazing.

side note: if you're new to commenting on people's fics and you don't know what to say, i highly recommend referring to this post. (btw i linked my reblog so it can act as an example of the different forms of adding to a post: there were other reblogs before mine, and i've added tags. useful in its content and as an example!!)

reposting.

this is where we need to be careful. reblogs are great. reposts are theft. where's the difference? reposting refers to you copying another creator's work, whatever it may be, and creating a new post without any indication to the original person's efforts. even if you do include their url, you will most likely get reported and blocked. because now, you've become the op of this copied post, and the actual creator will get absolutely nothing.

you will most likely have seen banners in fic communities that state something along the lines of "don't copy or translate any of my work to this or any other site". that's what this refers to. this would also include the following:

posting another writer's story to ao3/wattpad/another fic site of your choice without their permission. you can absolutely never do this. "but what if"—NO. never. fullstop.

some creators allow translations of their work, but you can only ever share those with their explicit permission and proper credit.

saving a gif to use without linking back to the artist. this is maybe my biggest gripe. yes, i know this site sucks at making gifs searchable, but still, you can't do this. and no, "credit goes to the original artist" doesn't count, where did that bullshit even come from? it makes me so mad. that's not giving credit, that's being lazy.

3. be nice, and have fun

this is fandom, and it's supposed to be a hobby. this is supposed to be a good time. none of us are getting paid for any of this. yes, we're all passionate about what we do, whether we're looking at other people's creations or we make them ourselves. we're fans of that common thing, and isn't that great?

just a little more internet etiquette that's not really tumblr specific but could be a good reminder for everyone:

not everything is for you, and that's okay

if something's not for you, scroll away

if you don't like what someone is posting, ignore them. mute them. block them.

do not ever, and i mean ever, send anyone hate. you don't know who's on the other side of the screen. block them and move on. life's too fucking short.

don't correct people's grammar/spelling. only assholes do that. if you can't help yourself and they're a person you've interacted with before, shoot them a private message and be nice about it.

don't offer unsolicited advice. i don't care if you want to give constructive criticism to help the other person. unless they've explicitly asked you to do that, don't. you'll get blocked so quick, and you'll ruin someone's day.

if you're reading a fic that's not finished yet, don't ask for an update. yes, you're excited for the story to continue. but "part 2", "when's the next chapter out", "more please" and so on are all things that put pressure on creators whether that's your intention or not. it gives us the impression that what we've already put out is never enough. and that sucks. by all means, be excited about what comes next, but not like this.

read!! old!! fics!!!! the beauty of tumblr being the way it is is that there's zero shame in interacting with older posts. it's not like you're liking a seven year old post on instagram. in fact, if you're commenting on a seven year old fic/gifset/moodboard/artwork on tumblr, i can guarantee you're gonna make that creator's day.

i'm absolutely positive that i've forgotten something in this post even though it's longer than several of my wips, so if any of my moots want to add something that'd be great!! in fact i'm gonna tag some of you because you know what? if you've read all of this you deserve a kiss. have a wonderful day 💛

[2singedthoughts]

the gods cry because they cannot strike me down / and the rain washes away / ashes of the ghost of me

Hello hello and Welcome to my page!

I've been lingering on tumblr for a while and just never got around to really posting or reblogging anything, as most of the time I'm alright to just lurk and enjoy things quietly.

That said, I've been getting more into posting fanart and whatnot recently, so I thought I'd make a blog! Not just to post art but to yap about my favorite fandoms and find people with similar interests, too. I'll hunt down that content - and if there is none, I'll make it myself!

Feel free to leave asks or anything, and enjoy your stay here. <3

Get To Know Me!

An individual of many nicknames! My name is Phoenix, aka SingedHazards. Phoenix, Singed, Hazard, or any variation of the sorts is fine by me!

I am 18! My birthday is May 4th. :<) (Despite the birthday, I am actually not a star wars fan.)

My favorite number is 2! hence the user. 2singedthoughts.

I don't care much about pronouns either way, but I prefer it/its or they/them.

I am LGBTQ+! Polyam and Ace <3

I like talking about my interests, and hearing about others'! My favorite color is brown. I'm an animal lover and an artist. You can probably tell from the whole aesthetic so far that I like fire. I like space, too, and storms, and flowers and birds and nature. I enjoy seeing the magic in things.

I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time! There's nothing I particularly dislike, other than math. I never have any idea what I'm doing when it comes to math.

Where to find me?

You can shoot me a message if you're interested in talking on discord! It's really the only social media I'm super active on.

Other than that I have a Twitter where sometimes, once in a blue moon, I post some art. https://x.com/2DesignHazards

Fandoms?

Yessir, I have my share of those! I'll try to keep the list small lmfao.

-Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss

-MCRP or other such Minecraft content. (FavreMySabre is my most notable fixation; TSSO, TSS, SL, RQ, TR and AR) (Calvin's From The Fog S1 and S2) (I do enjoy some good MC Horror. I've been into the ARGs lately.) (UHC Generations!) (HermitCraft! Grian and Mumbo on HC mostly, but I've been following Gem, Scar, Doc and Tango as well.) (I watch Hardcore YTers every now and again, whatever video happens to catch my attention on the recommended page)

-Dead By Daylight, Phasmo, Project Zomboid and Lethal Company are some of my more commonly played games. (I don't have specific content creators for these, if I watch anything I just click on whatever looks the most entertaining.)

-Roblox player! Flee The Facility, Abyss World and Spray Paint are my go-tos. (I don't watch Roblox content a lot, but when I do it's usually Flamingo or Remainings. Sometimes Rogurt and ratskewer)

-Some miscellaneous creators I enjoy as well; IGP, Insym, Matt Rose, AstralSpiff, LetsGameItOut, ManlyBadassHero and Fooster!

You may notice I'm a horror enjoyer lmaoo. Anything with some good chaos in it will immediately pique my interest. There's more than that too, so really just hit me up. If I don't know the creator or game, I love discovering new things anyway! :<)

Miscellaneous Information

I'm not like, a professional at making intro pages or anything so for now this is all I have to say. I'll probably come back and edit and add more or remove some stuff later as I see fit, but this is a good start!

Like I said in the beginning, feel free to send asks,

and I hope you've enjoyed the stay. :<)

Chapter Six:

Tomorrow is the day you've been looking forward to since the moment you stepped into this new city, the grand opening of your flower shop. First, you needed to find an outfit for the occasion. You've gone through your closet time and time again, but nothing really popped out at you. Thinking back to the outfit Ningguang gifted you, you decided it was time to get some shopping done. It would be good to see her again and maybe you could even plan another night out. Thinking of last night, you blushed remembering your activities. Your entire body was sore but in a pleasant way. 

Throwing on a quick outfit of t-shirt and jeans, you put on your shoes and headed to the Jade Chamber. It wasn't too far of a walk, and you were glad everything was relatively close. The outside of the boutique had bold and beautiful gold lettering. The windows were tall and elegant. Opening the door, you noticed how bright and inviting the layout was. With lofty white walls and spacious displays, it was a gorgeous shop. Upon entering, you were greeted by a woman with purple hair. Her hair almost made it look like she had cat ears and was adorably cute, but in a professional way. 

Looking around at all the displays, you were slightly overwhelmed. You grabbed a few pieces to try on, slightly surprised that they had your sizes in everything. As you were walking to the dressing room, a long red duster caught your eye. You picked it up and added it to your pile. As you were headed to the dressing room, another person entering the store caught your eye. She was shorter than you and had a blue high ponytail. She carried herself with elegance you thought to yourself. 

You were trying on countless outfits and nothing seemed to work just right. Eventually, you made your way through the pile and decided on a black tank top with lace up the middle and black leggings. For shoes, you found a pair of black chunky block heels. You put on the duster and went out to ask for a second opinion. It was a gorgeous piece, deep red chiffon with black lace roses embroidered all over. There was also a black velvet cinch belt that hugged your waist in just the right place. You timidly exited the dressing room looking for the employee for her opinion.

"Wow, that looks amazing on you!" You heard a voice exclaim. You turned around and saw it was the blue-haired girl who entered the shop after you. 

"Thank you so much! I was actually looking for another opinion, but I guess this is the outfit" you said. 

"What's the occasion if I may ask" she inquired. 

"It's for the grand opening of my flower shop tomorrow. I'm nervous but excited. Can't wait for it to take off" you said. 

"Oh, I've heard of a new shop opening recently. Wildflower was it? I was planning to go myself. It's nice to meet you. My name is Ayaka,'' she said. 

"Nice to meet you as well, I'm y/n" you responded.

"Again, you look lovely in that. I look forward to seeing it at the grand opening" she said and then stepped away. It was nice to get a random and unexpected compliment after the almost failed shopping trip. You went back into the dressing room and got the items you were purchasing ready. After you had checked out, you left the store. You had to admit you were a little upset that you didn't see Ninnguang, but you knew you would see her tomorrow. While you walked, you checked your phone for any texts. As you turned the corner, you bumped into someone. Quickly apologizing, you noticed it was the same girl from the Jade Chamber, Ayaka.

"Fancy seeing you here again y/n" she said with a slight chuckle. "Seeing as we met again, would you care to go get some boba with me?"

"Yes, I'd love to! It'll be my treat," you said.

"Oh no need, it's my brother's shop so it'll be on the house."

As you walked, you chatted with Ayaka about how you were liking the city so far and the work you've been doing to the shop. She also talked about how her brother opened the store. You learned her brother's name was Ayato and the other employee was named Thoma. After what seemed like no time at all, you finally arrived at the tea shop. Komore Boba was the name of the cafe. The main walls of the shop were painted white, but the side where the registers were accented with mint green. There was a row of a few glass tables with mint green chairs and lamps that were similar to bubbles. You also noted the bars of baby's breath and other flowers adorning the various shelves. 

"Hey Ayaka, how's it going" asked a blonde man from behind the counter. He had on a black t shirt with black jeans, and an apron around his waist. He was blonde and wore his hair back in a ponytail and a headband. 

“Hello Thoma, I’m doing well. What time are you working today?” she asked. 

“Once Ayato comes in, I’m free to go. Oh, look who it is. We were just talking about you” he said. 

In walked a beautiful man with the same color hair as Ayaka. Shoulder length and perfectly styled. He wore the exact opposite of Thoma, with white jeans and a white shirt. 

“Hello Thoma, Ayaka. What brings you here today? You want the usual?” he said. Then he turned to look at his sister and noticed you. As soon as he laid his eyes on you, a coy smile lit up his face. 

“Oh? And who do we have here?” he asked. 

“This here is y/n. I met her earlier at the Jade Chamber, then ran into her on the street and invited her here. We’ve become fast friends already” she said. Thoma also looked over your way and you could have sworn you saw a faint blush on his face. 

“Welcome to Komore Boba y/n. A friend of Ayaka’s is a friend of mine. My name is Ayato and this here is Thoma” he said.

“Nice to meet you both. You have a lovely shop here. I can’t wait to try a drink” you said happily. 

“First one is on the house. Thoma, take their orders while I go get ready.” 

After talking to Thoma about business related matters, he disappeared into the back room. Thoma took your order and you waited at one of the tables in the shop with Ayaka. You began with some small talk, mostly her asking about your shop opening. Just as you were starting to reply to Ayaka, Thoma came over with your drinks. His energy was contagious and you couldn't help but be in a better mood in his presence. While he was walking away, you noticed Ayaka’s stare lingered a little too long to be deemed friendly. Maybe you should ask about that after he leaves. You knew it would be soon as Ayato came out from the back room and was now behind the counter. What you didnt expect was him to sit at your table with you. 

“So y/n, how are you liking the cafe so far?” he asked. 

“I love it, it’s like a hidden gem here in Liyue. It really reminds me of the shop I used to go to back home in Mondstadt,” you replied. 

“Mondstadt? I’m from there too actually. Are you new to Liyue?” he asked.

“Yes, I’ve only been here a few weeks. I’m just about settled now. My flower shop is having it’s grand opening tomorrow and its really starting to feel like home,” you replied with a smile. Just then, Ayato came over with a slice of cake for everyone at the table. 

“It’s not often that Ayaka brings friends here. Enjoy these.” he said. With his words Ayaka blushed. You felt slightly embarrassed for her, but you understood they were happy for her. 

“Thank you for everything, the drink is delicious by the way. I think I’ll become your newest regular” you said. With that, both of the men smiled at you. You also thought you felt someone staring at you, and turned to look. It was Ayaka and she quickly looked away. If you hadn’t noticed, you might have thought she was upset. 

“So youre having a grand opening tomorrow for your flower shop. We’ll make sure to set some time aside to stop by. All of us,” Ayato stated. 

“Great, I’m looking forward to seeing you all there. I’ve met some amazing people here so far. I’ll make sure to repay your kindness” you said. 

After Ayato left, you continued your conversation with Ayaka and Thoma. The pair was easy going and you felt like you knew them for years rather than hours. The conversation flowed and there was no awkward pauses. Throughout the talk, you could see that Ayaka was interested in Thoma. She hung on his every word and made physical contact quite often. Despite all this, Thoma was clearly blind to her affection for him. Poor girl, hopefully it worked out for her eventually. You also looked over at Ayato a few times, and each glance he was also looking back at you. You quickly looked away, slightly flushed. He was attractive for sure, and those white jeans hugged his figure in all of the right places. Never in your life had you come across so many attractive men in one city. 

You checked your phone and noticed the time. You had to get home and do some last minute prep for the shop tomorrow. Thoma offered to walk you home, but you declined. Ayake looked slightly shocked at the suggestion, and you didn’t want to upset your new friend. You politely declined his offer. You had then exchanged contact info with Ayaka and offered to make plans in the future. She accepted readily and out the door you went. Walking back home, you thought about the events that transpired. You found a perfect outfit, made a new friend, discovered a hidden gem cafe, and had a good time looking at some very attractive men. 

You arrived back at your apartment, and before going inside, you looked across the street. Kaeya’s shop looked like it was closed. That brief moment of hope of possibly seeing your best friend again fizzled out as quickly as it came on. You sighed and then unlocked your door. Unpacking your bags, you laid out your outfit for the next day. Nervousness was starting to creep in about the big day tomorrow, but you knew you had some many new friends that we’re going to be there for you. There was one person you weren’t sure would be in attendance, so you decided to text him. You pulled up Childe’s name in your contacts and sent him a text. 

Tomorrow is the grand opening of Wildflower. Think you might be there?

You received a reply almost instantly.

Wouldn’t miss it for the world ;) can’t wait to see you

You looked at the reply and then said goodnight, not wanting to say too much. You then chose to take a shower and do some extra skin care. The butterflies were starting to creep back in again. Hopefully you’d be able to get some beauty rest and feel refreshed tomorrow. You laid down and tossed and turned while you were trying to fall asleep. Luckily for you, sleep eventually came and you drifted off. 

When you stirred in your sleep, you opened your eleys slightly. You were not prepared to see a gleaming pair of cerulean eyes staring back at you. For a split second, you could have sworn you saw a chunk of sandy blonde hair in the moonlight coming through your window. 

You jerked awake. You swore you saw eyes staring back at you, but when you turned your bedside lamp on, you were alone in the room. Just a bad dream, you thought. After the attack in the alley you were on high alert, but you were not prepared for this. You had moved on. He could not come back into your life. You sat up and took  a sip of water from your bottle on your bedside table. Feeling spooked, but also tired as hell, you laid back down and went back to sleep. You didn’t have any other dreams that night. 

Alarm going off, you willed yourself awake. Thanks to that dream last night, you didn’t sleep as well as you had wanted. You slowly got out of bed and made your way to the bathroom to do your morning routine. You wanted to check out the shop for any last minute preparations and to make sure everything was picture perfect. Alhaitham and Itto had been a tremendous help in getting this place ready. You made note to treat them to a meal and do something nice for them after all of this. You adjusted a few minor things like flower placements, but everything seemed to be in order. Next item on the list was getting yourself ready. There was only an hour until opening, and you wanted to be one hundred percent ready for anything. 

You were setting up various signs for the grand opening out front when Alhaitham came to the store. You said your good mornings to each other and he went to the back to get ready. It was twenty minutes until opening and you were starting to get nervous again. He must have noticed because he came over and patted your head softly. "It'll be alright, we got this" he said. 

It was time. You had seen a few familiar faces and ones you didn't recognize outside the doors. You unlocked the door and held it open for everyone to come in. "Welcome to Wildflower" you said. Ninnguang and Beidou were next and they both came up and gave you a hug. "Congrats, we're proud of you," Beidou said. 

After everyone came in, you stood near the front. "Thank you everyone for coming today. I hope you enjoy the shop. My name is Y/n and my employee here is Alhaitham. Let us know if you need anything". 

People started shopping around, and the atmosphere was lively. People were coming up to you and asking about different flowers and your opinions on bouquet arrangements and different services you offered. Ninnguang and Beidou had purchased a few pre-made arrangements for her boutique and Itto's gym. As they were leaving you saw a few other familiar faces coming in through the door. Ayato, Thoma, and Ayaka were here. As soon as you made eye contact, Thoma lit up and smiled. Ayato had his usual coy smile in place and Ayaka waved. You walked over to them. 

"Thank you all for coming. It's nice to see you again! It's quite busy so I'll come back in a few minutes to chat" you said. 

"No worries. Take your time y/n. Congratulations on your grand opening" Thoma exclaimed. After you said your thanks again, you walked off to help some other customers. You heard the bell above the door chime again, and you turned to greet the latest customers. What you saw made your heart skip a beat. It was Zhongli and Childe. 

Zhongli gave you a polite smile and Childe winked at you with a goofy grin. You walked over to them. 

"Welcome to Wildflower. I wasn't sure if either of you would be able to make it, but it means a lot" you said. 

"Wouldn't miss it for the world, girlie. Like what you've done with the place. It looks beautiful" Childe said. 

Just as you were about to respond, Alhaitham called for you needing your assistance with a customer. You apologized to the pair saying you would be back in a few minutes. Zhongli nodded and Childe had a sliver of irritation on his face. You went to see what the customers needed, and Alhaitham went to the register to ring out a few people that were ready. It seems like business was starting to slow down somewhat, and you could use the break. It had been a few hours of rushing around non stop. 

After you had addressed the customers that needed help, and the ones ready to pay were out,you sent Alhaitham on a break. Your head was spinning with just how many people had come in today. You took a breath after ringing out the rest of the line, and turned around to file some papers. You heard someone walk up, and turned to talk to the person and saw Ayato. 

"Well I'd call this a successful first day" he said. 

You laughed. "Yes, quite a bit more people than I expected but can't say that's a bad thing. Sorry I didn't manage to get back to you, Thoma, and Ayaka" you said. 

"Nothing to worry about. You can always see them again. I had Thoma leave to open up the boba shop. Ayake went with him. She's quite taken with that boy, however her affections go unnoticed" he said. 

"I seemed to have noticed that as well in the short time we were at the tea shop together. Hopefully I'll have some time to go back and visit you all again" you said. You weren't sure if you should be discussing your new friend's love life with her brother of all people, so you hoped to change the subject. 

"We would be very interested in seeing you again. Thoma and I have taken quite a liking to you" he said while pulling out his wallet. He grabbed a business card and started writing on the back. Once he was finished, he handed it to you. 

"Here's my personal cell number along with Thoma's. Feel free to text anytime you'd like" he said with that same smile he gave you every time you looked at him at the ship the other day. 

You blushed slightly, not knowing his intentions. "Ah, well thank you. I'll be sure to send you both a message once I'm free" you said. You weren't sure if it was just in your head, but you felt a pair of eyes piercing through you. Ayato then purchased a bouquet of various flowers for the vases throughout his shop, and to your surprise, kissed your cheek goodbye. 

"For the one watching your every move" he said with a wink. 

You stood there dumbfounded. Who was watching your every move? There weren't that many people in the shop anymore. The only ones of note were Childe, Zhongli, and a man who had just walked in with a fiery man of red hair. Childe had walked up to you after Ayato left. 

"Well our pretty lady seems to have quite the amount of admirers already. I guess I can't keep you all to myself just yet" he said. Was he jealous? Was he the one Ayato was talking about? The air surrounding him was filled with tension, and his eyes were empty of all emotion. Yes, Ayato was talking about him. You had to admit, you were flattered that he was this jealous over another man flirting with you. 

"Ahh I just met Ayato the other day through his sister. She helped me shop for this outfit and then took me to their boba shop" you said. 

"Guess this means I'll have to spend more time with you" he said. 

"I have no complaints about that" you said softly. You could feel the burn on your cheeks and looked away. He grabbed your chin softly, and turned your face to look at him. 

"Don't look away" he said. He then started to lean in closer, and his lips were almost to yours when you heard someone clear their throat. Alhaitham was the one to interrupt this time. 

"Y/n, a customer is asking about setting up a weekly delivery." You could strangle him right now. However, you completely forgot that you were in the middle of your flower shop. It was scary how easily Childe swept you away. 

"I'll take my leave. Zhongli, grab that bouquet we looked at and leave it in your bar. I'll see you soon Y/n." Zhongli grabbed the biggest bouquet you had set up for display, the glaze lilies. Alhaitham rang them out and they left the shop. 

Meanwhile, you went to attend to the customer about the weekly deliveries. You were somewhat surprised to see it was the man with the high ponytail of fiery red hair. He had on a black leather jacket with gray ripped jeans. On his thigh was harness with an o ring in the center. He was tall and with a lean build. You only wished you could see what was under the jacket. You mentally told yourself to focus as this was a customer. 

"Hello, my name is y/n. Alhaitham told me you were interested in setting up weekly deliveries. What were you interested in?" You asked. 

"Hello there. My name is Diluc. I'm the owner of the tattoo shop just down the street, Angel's Share. I'd like to set up a weekly delivery. Anything really. Whatever the newest flowers you have would be great. I also wanted to introduce myself as a fellow business owner here in Liyue." 

As you chatted, you got to know him a little better. You were pretty sure he didn't really know who you were. You knew he was originally from Mondstadt. You appreciated the talk with Diluc, as you only knew about him through his foster brother Kaeya. He was a little reserved, but you could tell that he was a respectable gentleman and a cunning businessman. You had a feeling he had more than just his tattoo business, but you didn't ask him about it. Through your conversation, you set up a delivery for his shop. The dates and times were set and were going to start next week. You noticed he was the last one in the shop. After he left, there were only a few more minutes until closing. You let Alhaitham go home early and thanked him for his hard work. For the remainder of time, you were set on cleaning and keeping the store in pristine shape. You noted that it was past closing time, and were just about done cleaning. It was then that you heard the door chime, signaling someone entered the shop. 

"Thanks for coming in, but we're actually closed now" you said. You turned to look who was there, and stopped right in your tracks. Standing there in front of you was the familiar blue you've seen countless times before. Kaeya. You weren't really sure what you say as he's given you quite the cold shoulder, so you didn't say anything. Knowing he would have to speak first, he cleared his throat. 

"I see you had quite a busy day. Congrats on the grand opening". He said. Was that really all he had to say after ignoring you all this time? 

"Thank you. Now as I've said, the store is closed" you stated, trying to keep your voice as level as possible. You could feel the hurt and anger creeping up and just wanted him gone. 

"Y/n, come now, that's no way to treat your best-". You cut him off.

"You ghosted me. Don't talk about what best friends should be doing. What do you want?" You were seething at this point. Throughout all your years of knowing Kaeya, he had never given you a reason to question your friendship. 

"What was Diluc doing here?" He asked. Diluc? The other tattoo shop owner? You wondered why he was asking about him. 

"What does he have to do with any of this" you questioned. 

"Is he the new flavor of the week? I noticed your employee is quite the looker too. I wonder-". You cut him off with a slap. He had gone too far this time. 

"Get the fuck out of my shop Kaeya"

"I'm sorry, Y/n. That was uncalled for. I let my anger get the best of me. Please hear me out." You could see the regret on his face, but that didn't help your own emotions. Despite the anger you were feeling, you waited to hear him out. Once he knew you were willing to hear him out, he started talking again. 

"What happened between us, it scared me. I didn't want to treat you like any other hookup. And then Diluc spotted us and I don't know. I cleared up and asked myself what I was doing with you, my best friend" he paused, so you had to ask him. 

"Did what happened between us mean nothing to you" you asked, almost a whisper. 

"Of course not. Listen, I saw Diluc in here and I didn't know if he was giving you any problems because of your connection to me. Can we talk again sometime?" 

You sighed. Today was a long and stressful day. Knowing he didn't think the worst of you, you knew in your heart he was forgiven but his actions were not forgotten. You nodded to his question, willing to patch things up between you two. Of course you've had arguments before, but nothing like this. However, you were sure you both would make it through this. 

"Are you going to keep being a stranger or can I expect to hear from you again?"

"I'll be here everyday if I can help it sweetheart" he said with a genuine smile. You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding, and walked closer to him and embraced him in a hug. He wrapped his arms around you in response. A slight minty scent enveloped you and the touch of his chest comforted you. You felt him pull back slightly. 

"I've also been wanting to talk to you. This just happened today, and I wish I didn't have to tell you this, but he's back."

rules: answer the soft Q&A’s and tag 5 of your most recent followers and 3 of your biggest fans, fave blog/users. I was tagged by the lovely @witchshour! thank you!!! ♥

what’s the smell of your shampoo?: I rotate my shampoos because I find it helps with the fragility of my hair, so I have a couple of different ones, but they’re vanilla, coconut, and honey respectively!

what’s your aesthetic?: (this tag, even more specifically this post! 💕) dusty pinks, delicate lace, flowing sleeves, fairy lights, wishing wells, masquerade masks, flower crowns, the twinkle of starlight, delicate notes from a piano, the chimes of a music box, anything that glitters or sparkles, painted watercolor florals, art of ladies holding roses, cute seasonal decor, the flutter of wings, hodgepodge collectibles that bring happy memories, soft blankets on a cold day, gentle kindness, sunbeams cutting through cloud-rack, the rustle of autumn leaves, the warm comfort of my dog at my side.

what is your favourite time of the day?: the time just before dawn (morning twilight? the wee small hours of the morning) when it is very still and peaceful, and the stars are still out but the sun is just about to greet them.

what do you like the most about the beach?: I haven’t been to the beach in over 20 years, so I barely remember it, but from afar, of course I have to say the ocean and its waves.

what do you worry about constantly?: Angel’s health, money (the fact that we don’t have any to speak of or enough coming in to keep making ends meet, and the fact that what we do have is rapidly running out), my mom’s health, my health, surviving one week to the next...

what is a song you’ve cried to before?: a shorter question for me would be, “what song haven’t you cried to before?” because crying to music on a regular basis is my most consistent hobby/only talent. (not even always because it makes me sad per se, or brings up tearful emotions, though of course music does do that for me on occasion, but often it happens because I’m so moved by/passionate about music that sometimes it becomes overwhelming and tends to make me spontaneously cry)! nothing on earth speaks to my soul as profoundly or in quite the same way as music does.

what are some relaxing tips for your followers?: stop finding a reason to hate literally every piece of media you watch/read, despite what tumblr says you should do, and just let yourself enjoy something purely and simply <- this is such good and necessary advice that I’m keeping it! remember that you are allowed to love and enjoy things wholeheartedly! also, please take time for yourselves when it’s quiet and you can set everything aside and do something that relaxes you (whatever that may be; listening to soft music, reading, taking a warm bath, communing with nature, anything that eases your body/mind). being gentle towards yourself is as important as being gentle to others, you need those moments of rest and care.

what are some things that make you tear up?: like the question about the songs, again, what doesn’t? stories, music, characters I love, the transcendent power of theatre/fiction/art, precious animals, but also pieces on the news (good and bad ones, and unfortunately a lot of tears have been shed over the latter), thinking about things I’ve lost and desperately long for and that I can never have, yearning in my heart for creative passion, expressions of romance and Romanticism, sweet cards and messages from friends...I’m such a weeper and always have been.

what is your favourite from each of the five senses?: sight: the brightness of a rainbow after a rainstorm, decorative lights twinkling everywhere in December | smell: vanilla, cinnamon, anything warm and good baking | touch: Angel’s oh-so-soft and fluffy coat | taste: sweet-yet-tart cherry, deep dark chocolate, freshly brewed favorite teas | sound: beautiful melodies, the sound of Angel’s paws padding on the tile

what is one alternate reality you’d want to be in?: if we’re talking hazy, half-dreamed realities, then I want to live in the one where I have a pretty, cozy little tea and bookshop (where we also sell baked goods and adorable pet accessories, and people can bring their furbabies in with them), decorated with plush, comfortable chairs and floral lace curtains, with dreamy music playing over the speaker system. alternatively, I used to really want to be an Elf in Rivendell, but now I think I’d probably be more suited to live in a Hobbit Hole in the Shire, which has a similar energy to the aforementioned imaginary shop, really.

what are some troubles you face on a day to day basis?: the unpleasant and difficult realities of my chronic illnesses and chronic pain, which lead to the fact that I can’t do anything on a normal, reliable schedule; exhaustion; anxiety/depression; the constant crush of grief at all that unlived unrealized existence lost to illness mixed with horror at our dwindling finances and how much we’re having to struggle to make it from one month to the next; the ever-present specter of death (I wish this was a darkly humorous hyperbole but it’s...not. it has become a consistent companion in its way. I lean on I imagine death so much it feels more like a memory for a reason). honestly, things are really tough and I try not to bring that on here too much (except for when it’s concerned Angel, especially in the last year), but it weighs so heavily.

what is one scene of a book that’s made you really sad?: this is such an obvious, almost trite, answer but I’ll never be over losing Sirius in OOTP. I’d like to be able to put something erudite and literate and unexpected here, but that was a formative fictional loss.

say something to all your followers: you’re wonderful. thank you for being here with me, I am always grateful for it and sending any love that I can out across the miles to you!

tagging (only if you want to do this, of course!) @songofthesstars, @featheredgrace, @christinedaae, @whereforewoof (I know you tagged me in a q&a meme not too long ago and now I cannot seem to find it, I’m sorry! please consider this one an alternate, okay? <333), @desireearmfeldt, @aelfenpath, @aselkiemaiden, @kidmannicole, @theimpossiblescheme​ 💖✨🌼

...goddess help me...

This fucking episode. *deep breath* This... This episode is where I'm expecting to get some serious hate. Let me just get this out of the way right up front:

I. Hate. Zemo.

I do not find him sympathetic, or funny, or charming. I find him creepy and annoying. I did not like him in CA:CW and I do not like him in TFATWS. If you are pro-Zemo, you are not going to like my version of this show from here on out. Just find something else to read and don't bother me about it. You've got the actual canon, so go enjoy that.

Got it? Good. Now, on to the main event!

Episode 3: The Power Broker

First of all, Sam doesn't let Bucky walk in there alone. No matter Bucky's (flimsy and nonsensical) argument, Sam's like "hell no. I go in with you, or you don't go in." The main reason for this isn't to keep Bucky from breaking Zemo out of prison (with decent writing, he would never do that) - it's so that Sam witnesses Zemo taunting Bucky with/about the trigger words. because Zemo is a piece of shit.

Since he doesn't know the full story, Sam is confused, but he files this interaction away to ask Bucky about later. He's listening to Zemo acknowledging that Bucky was "not conscious for most of [his] imprisonment" (which, yes, clearly refers to the time he spent frozen, but can also mean while he was under their control as TWS/"The Asset" - also, key word: imprisonment) and when he calls Bucky a means to an end, Sam scowls, looking ready to go off on him, but he waits. They've got more important issues.

Neither of them entertains the thought of breaking Zemo out for even a nanosecond. He does that shit himself. And literally the only reason I'm sticking with him getting out at all is because I want to address some truly egregious moments linked directly to him in the show. Zemo makes them think he's setting them on the trail when really he's just sending them to his motor pool. Bucky and Sam are confused until they see Zemo in his stolen guard uniform, then they're both angry and want to ship him right back to prison, but he strikes a deal with them: "My help for my temporary freedom. Creating super soldiers cannot be allowed to continue; let me finish my work, and then do with me as you will." He has no intention of going quietly back to prison, obviously, and they're not stupid enough to believe otherwise, but they believe they can keep him on a short leash, so they agree for now. Anything to bring down the Flag Smashers and whoever created them.

After the title, we cut to Raynor on the phone in her office. She's agitated, fiddling with things on her desk. "No, sir," she's practically growling, "it was disrupted. - Walker did! - It's not my fault your new attack dog got off-leash!" She pauses, huffs, and says more calmly, "No. Of course not. I'm sorry. - Well, I don't see how, with the new Cap strutting around barking orders! - What am I supposed to do? Tell Captain America in front of a dozen witnesses that he can't have his predecessor's favorite pet because we're not done reprogramming him? I didn't see that going over too well. I made a call. - No. No, no, no, we can still use him. The work's not finished, but he still trusts me. He'll be back." A pause as she listens. Angry again, she snaps, "What do you want me to do, shove a tracker up his ass? He'll be back, and we'll pick right back up where we left off! - Don't worry, sir, the Asset will be fully compliant and ready to use soon. I'll make sure of it. - Yes, sir. You, too." She hangs up and tosses her phone on the couch, grumbling, "Dick."

Cut back to Sam, Bucky, and Zemo getting going on their trip to Madripoor. On the plane, Sam wants to talk to Bucky about what he's learned so far, but doesn't want to bring it up in front of Zemo... until the notebook incident reminds him that Zemo already knows more about Bucky than he does.

After Zemo's line about the list, Sam angrily corrects him: "You mean people HYDRA used The Winter Soldier to hurt." When Zemo shrugs and his response is basically along the lines of "what's the difference" Sam is like "oh hell no."

"Those words you were reciting at him," he reminds Zemo, "what were they, Russian? They clearly meant something. They were supposed to do something. What are they?" "Sam, let it go," Bucky pleads, unable to look at either of them. "It's nothing." "You wanna drown in your guilt, that's fine," Sam snaps, "but make sure it's for the right reasons." He turns back to Zemo, who's smiling at this exchange because he's a monster and thinks Bucky's suffering is fucking funny. "I asked you a question, Zemo. What did those words do?" "They activate the Winter Soldier programming," Bucky grudgingly admits. He doesn't want to talk about it, but he's sure as hell not going to let Zemo speak for him. "Or, they did, before the Wakandans got all that shit out of my head." "It's a shame," Zemo says with a smirk. "Imagine the possibilities that come with perfect obedience." "I think you mean 'slavery'," Sam growls, "and I think you're in the wrong crowd to be looking so pleased about it. Remember that we can send your ass back to prison any time." "Of course," Zemo agrees, but with an arrogant smile that shows he doesn't believe for a second that these two have any real power over him. Still, he bides his time and sits back quietly, watching Bucky fidget with the notebook. Sam turns back to Bucky, seeing his discomfort; he won't let the topic go, though, not yet. He just softens his tone. "So, they 'activated the Winter Soldier'? What exactly does that mean?" Bucky shrugs, still not looking up. "Pretty much what he said - perfect obedience. What little consciousness they left me between cryo and the chair was squashed down, locked away. And I did whatever I was told, exactly the way they told me to." It finally clicks. He'd had his suspicions before, of course, but now Sam gets it. Visibly horrified, he stares at this quiet, broken man, and finally sees the truth of what he'd been through for 70 years: "They stripped away your autonomy. Shit, Bucky, they didn't even let you be a person. That's..." He swallows, looking like he'll be sick any minute. "That's awful, man. I'm so sorry." When Bucky tries to shrug it off and downplay it again, Sam gets angry. "Look at me!" He waits; it takes a few seconds, but Bucky reluctantly looks up and is surprised to see just how upset Sam is on his behalf. "It wasn't your fault. None of it. When Steve said you didn't have a choice, I had no idea... You really, truly had no choice; not even the ability to choose. That's horrifying." "I doubt it would make much difference to the people he's killed," Zemo points out snidely. "Or their families. Let's ask Tony Stark, shall we?" "You shut the hell up," Sam growls. He watches Bucky flinch and make that face - the face he's starting to really fucking hate - that says he agrees with Zemo. Bucky still can't see things the way Sam does; he still feels the guilt and shame, and even when he himself pointed out his lack of agency under HYDRA, it didn't click for him that Sam is right, not Zemo.

It's too much, too soon. Sam sees that and decides to change the subject, to give Bucky some time to process. He nods at the notebook, and they have their little Marvin Gaye debate, where Sam is over the top about it on purpose, because Bucky needs the distraction.

Of course, Zemo ruins it by opening his big mouth again and reminding Bucky of more trauma: his time fighting in WWII. That's why Sam latches onto the bit about Madripoor; to keep the focus not only on the task at hand, but off of Bucky's past that he clearly still can't cope with.

"James... You will have to become someone you claim is gone." Sam is officially ready to throw Zemo out a window. 😂 The only reason he doesn't jump to Bucky's defense again and basically tell Zemo to fuck himself (in a PG-13 way 🙄) is because Bucky's, as Sam pointed out in ep2, a grown-ass man, and because he's just learned how few decisions this poor man has been able to make in his life. Sam doesn't want to come across as another "handler," deciding everything for him, even if he does think this plan is stupid and needlessly cruel.

At the bar, when asked if he wants "the usual", Sam just casually waves the bartender off like "nah". Zemo already said they had business to attend to, so it's not like anyone would be suspicious that now's probably not a good time to be doing weird shots lol. (wtf even was that? I'm not sure I want to know, but...what part of the snake did he drop into that drink?)

Sam's not an idiot (I'm really so sick of this trend of turning intelligent characters into morons because the writers can't think of any other way to move their plot along) so his cell phone has been off this whole time. No sudden call from Sarah to put them all in danger. There was really no point to that, anyway; Sharon likely would have killed Selby for talking about Nagle with or without the excuse of "saving" Sam and Bucky. I mean, it's not like they know who fired that shot, ever.

"They cleared the Bionic Staring Machine," Sam still jokes, but he follows it with, "and they think he's a mass-murderer." "They think?" Sharon stares at him incredulously. "Didn't he kill pretty much everyone he's ever met?" "Wow." Sam glances back at Bucky. "She really is awful now." To Sharon, he adds, "You met Steve; do you really think he'd have defied 117 countries to protect someone evil?" "He did it for Bucky," she points out. "Let's face it - Bucky could blow up half the planet, and Steve's loyal-to-a-fault ass would still take a bullet for him." "You know I'm sitting right here, right? I can hear you." "Look, I don't think you're evil, Bucky," Sharon assures him. "But I know you killed a lot of people for HYDRA." "I'm not denying it." "He didn't have a choice," Sam snaps, glaring at them both. "But we're not getting into that right now. My point is, the government's afraid of Bucky, and they still pardoned him. All you did was steal something. I'm sure they can be persuaded to see reason." "The day the US government sees reason," Sharon quips, rolling her eyes, "is the day I sprout real wings and fly off into the sunset." "Careful, Icarus," Bucky mocks with a smirk, "the sun and brand new wings don't exactly go together." Then he shrugs and glances at Sam. "But she's not wrong."

At the party that night, it takes a few minutes (grumpy old man Bucky's not sure how to feel about the music lol) but a peek of pre-war Bucky comes out to play: they were told to "blend in", so he dances. At first he's just bobbing around alone looking stoic and out of place, but soon he's smiling and dancing between two attractive people - one male, one female. Sam is surprised, but before he can tease him for it, Sharon comes to get them all. Even she's a little "wait what?" at Bucky having a little fun lol. (recovery is not linear, guys. trauma doesn't mean "perpetually miserable, no fun, doesn't even know how to smile." in my TFATWS, Bucky gets his lighter moments; real ones, not humor at his expense)

When they find Nagle, Bucky's the one who notices and opens the secret door, while Sam keeps an eye on Zemo. Bucky catches Zemo trying to grab that gun; closes the drawer on his hand before opening it and taking the gun away. "Nice try." Nagle tries to get away while there's only one person watching him, but Sam catches him and forces him back into his seat. With a bruising grip on the back of Zemo's neck, Bucky drags him back over to where he and Sam can both keep an eye on him. Nagle is killed in the shootout as they're trying to escape; Zemo still runs off, blows shit up, and comes back with the stolen car so he's not totally useless.

I had no problem with Zemo being the one to kill Nagle; Nagle was the worst and def had to die, and Zemo has never had an issue killing anyone. Where I took issue with this scene was Bucky and Sam being dumb enough to let Zemo wander and get his hands on a gun. Nope. Not happening.

Anyway, shootout! Explosions! Funny banter! The seat thing, which is my favorite nod to CW ever lol... And then the conversation on the plane...

"You okay?" "Yeah." Sam sighs. "Just thinking." "About how to get Sharon that pardon you dangled in front of her?" He shakes his head. "About how Nagle referred to 'The Winter Soldier Program" like it was some kind of after school club; like you weren't standing right there. And 'the American test subject' like... Like Isaiah wasn't even a real person." He turns to face Bucky, looking angry and weary. "Makes me wonder how many times... How many times are we gonna run around in the same circles before people learn? And how many people need to get crushed underfoot in the meantime?" "Did you really just equate me with Isaiah?" Bucky frowns, not sure how to react to that. "That man is a hero." Sam opens his mouth to say something, but his phone goes off and Zemo approaches at the same time, effectively cutting off their conversation.

When they get to Riga and Zemo tries to guilt trip them over Sokovia, Bucky deadpan reminds him, "Neither of us were involved in that fight." "I doubt you'd have been much help if you were." He shrugs. "Probably not. But I like to save my guilt for events I was actually present for. It's a thing." Zemo laughs. "Fair enough."

Bucky goes on his walk, and meets up with Ayo.

I also love how we are the cruel people who need to put down others when you have tags on your posts literally calling us dumb and saying we aren't smart. Haven't you noticed that basically none of the asks you've gotten have insulted you? We disagree with you but we aren't tagging posts about you as "they're dumb." BSG has been active for years now and you have maybe I don't know, 50 actually valid screenshots. Saying that we like atla but wish that it had more poc helping making it doesn't

‘ make us bad people. We never posted a list of who ships incest outside of the discord, because we know that isn't fair to others. Incest is triggering to some of us, so it's a warning put in a private server that isn't attacking anybody. You said that we send anon hate when you have literally three screenshots of somebody saying they were gonna ask a question on a different account. You say we hate lesbians 4 sokka, but the screenshot literally shows the person saying that they love them but ‘

Fucking liar, you literally all got together to shit on a zucest post super recently, you are bad people and there is no escaping that.

It isn’t fair to people but harassing them, ganging up on their shipping post and pressure new members of the fandom is totaly fair, Oh and treating friends of people who dare to ship something you don’t like, like shit is totaly fair, like how you fucks treated space-sword.

And sending hate anon is perfectly fair too, unless you’re the one receiving them apparently (if you even got any since none of you fucks had the guts to respond to said supposed anons so you probably just made shit up)

No, it’s not a warning, you had a whole ass list of triggers but none of them said stuff like ‘if you’re a friend of someone affiliated with *insert ridiculous list* then you’re banned’ and you could still mention all of them, you just needed to spoiler it, stop fucking lying, you can’t fool me, I caught you fucks in the act.

Another lie, If incest was triggering for you dumbasses, you’d block the tag and ignore it, people who have triggers don’t fucking expose themself to their triggers 24/7 and don’t organise fucking raid rebloging a post with their trigger on it. You also wouldn’t have Elsanna shippers if that was true.

I had multiple asks insulting me, I have no idea what kind of drugs you are on and bouhou, the serial harassers and fandom bullies don’t like being called dumb, too bad, you ARE dumb, that’s just a fact.

Also you idiots called me a pedophile, how can you have the guts to complain about me saying you are dumb after you called me a pedophile ? Are you serious ?

No, I have 143 valid screenshot, and that’s AFTER you went on a purge, now you can go back to the corner and cry.

You didn’t say ‘we love ATLA but wanted more POC’, you said ‘I can’t enjoy ATLA and it’s racist as fuck’, that’s what you said, so no, you don’t like ATLA, you are bad people and you’re only in the fandom to form the mean girl clique you were too weak and dumb to form IRL.

Yes, Harassing people, sharing private DMs with people with no reason except ‘they ship the wrong thing’, calling someone a fake bi for being friends with someone you don’t approve of (get over yourself, that’s pathetic) and pressuring and isolating new members to get them into your cult shit (without forgetting how you cut them off the moments stuff goes bad), which is especialy bad because I saw you fucks target 15 years old for that shit. All of that make you bad people, that’s undeniable.

I have screenshots, yes, making my claim right and now I have hundreds of answered ask proving my point even further, your ‘b-b-b-b-but it’s not enough !!!’ isn’t a good defense.

‘We know we said and did horrible stuff related to that person but we said we loved them (while adding a ‘but’ followed by a long disclaimer that there were the scum of the earth) so it’s okay !’ that’s your argument there, do I even need to explain why it’s shit ?

Thanks for adding ‘can’t stop lying to my face’ to the list of ‘why Ba Sing Gay suck’

Thanks for the ask ^^
