#not to say you shouldnt post anything until you get better. more of like a reassurance that youll naturally improve as you write

[clownery-and-fuckery]

The fact that Harry is canonically FEARED by people in Jamrock really surprises me. Like, I know he's the "human can-opener" and that has boosted his reputation and name among the people, but learning what he was like pre-amnesia is a whirlwind of an experience. Why don't more people talk about it?

This is coming from the wiki page so some things might be a lil inaccurate (I honestly don't know how well I can trust that source just yet) but it says he was on drugs/drunk for the majority of his service (even pre Dora), I imagine this got worse especially during those six years after Dora left him. By that time, he had already partnered with Jean, and had probably rejected his promotion number one.

After Dora left, the substance abuse got worse, but his work got better. It was hard to discourage their best detective, I guess. Even though he was actively funding the thing he was trying to shut down. It's a conflict of interest, he shouldnt have kept his job.

Also, during "THE UNSOLVABLE CASE" its said he left a man unable to walk, held a woman hostage, and shot wildly at a man.

That's just one case. You don't get a reputation like Harry's from one case. You don't make someone run at the mention of your name in the area. Ruby didn't run because of that one case.

Harry was a scary man. An ex gym teacher, off his rocker on an amount of drugs he couldn't count on two hands. He was talking to the tie before he lost his memory. The skills probably weren't a new thing. I like Harry, too, but his routinely "the women are the bourgeoisie" bit isn't just a post-amnesia thing, that's a cemented belief that's hung around his head long enough to become a foundation of every belief, even if you're an ultra-liberal. I don't think he was that popular with anyone he met.

The public were honestly right to be afraid of him.

But the RCM promoted him again. Or they tried. Because, what, Jean somehow managed to cover up everything Harry had done? What else has he done? How bad did things get, if beating a man with a ledger isn't anything more than a footnote in a case file?

Speaking of Jean, he confuses me a little. I mean, he respects Harry enough to cover up everything he did/does, but when it comes to talking about/to him, he puts him down, chews him out, makes it sound like he thinks Harry's actions are unacceptable (which I'm inclined to agree, at least pre-amnesia) but he also actively tries to make this narrative of Harry being crazy and wild and dangerous a thing, to everyone. Even Kim. Especially Kim, at the end. Look at this dialogue:

Those are the words of someone hurt over and over, watching a cycle repeat in another. But Jean still, when he doesn't really need to, decides to cover up Harry's missing gun and badge, and hears him and Kim out at the end of the game. He tears Harry down out of habit, but he also helps him out of that same habit.

He uses the word bewitched. That interested me, because it's infinitely more affectionate than manipulated, or tricked or just lied to. Jean uses it in a sympathetic manner, because he, like the RCM, like Dora, had been drawn in by Harry, and forced to stay until they left, like Dora, or became too bitter to go, like Jean.

It set up an interesting narrative for an aftermath. Would Kim, too, be driven away? Or would he get so sucked into the endless torment of being Harry's favourite, that like Jean, even if he wanted to, Kim wouldn't know anything else? Or had Harry actually changed? Does he get better, or does he get worse?

I would love to see more exploration on Harry after the events of Disco Elysium. I want to know how his reputation shapes how he acts after, I want to know how people interact with him. Its so interesting to me. It's all a bit of a jumbled ramble but yeah!!! :D

hi! im a sss, but i think other sss can learn a thing or two.

first of all, dont fucking send death threats or wishes of death, sss. its fucking weird??? second, dont be such a stuck up bitch if people support wilbur. there has literally been no proof yet (im supporting shelby because i go by support victims until proven wrong, but you guys do you!:3) third, dont post nsfw of TEEN WILBUR or wilbur at all?? thats fucking gross. dehumanizing a man for alleged abuse is gross and makes you just as bad if hes guilty. fourth, sending hate and rape threats is also gross. what the fuck?? so apparently its okay if you do it but not when wss do it back? hows that make any sense. fifth, and i know this one is hard to understand guys, BUT PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN DECISIONS. crazee ik. sixth, if you are mad about someone listening to lovejoy and saying "their music sucks" save it. because didnt you like it not even a year ago? are you admitting you were a fake ass fan? like, im a shelby supporter but even i still listen to lovejoy because their music is good. just because i dont particularly like the guy who is the lead singer for his actions, A; theyre in the past and hes getting therapy. B; i still like the music. and C; as much as i dont like to admit it, their music and his streams saved my fucking life. so quit being stuck up assholes about this. the sss is honestly looking worse than wss because of how blatantly toxic it is here. if you have even the slightest doubt for even one fragment of shelbys story youre told you are a fake supporter and told to kys. if you believe it all, youre told you are so easily gaslighted and told that you shouldnt trust everything on the internet. if you dont believe any of her story, youre told to kys, support victims, and that they wish you were raped.

SHELBY SUPPORT SQUAD, YOU GUYS ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. YOU ARE NOT HELPING, YOU ARE CAUSING MORE UNNESSASARY HARM. DO BETTER. SHELBY WOULDNT WANT THIS.

anyways, i hope you guys (wss) have long and happy lives even if i dont agree with supporting him:) btw can i be 🍊🦢 anon?:3

-🍊🦢

THANK YOU OH MY GOD

They need to be sat down and told this in loop so they understand this shit. Most wss I've seen also used to support shebly or be sss until they were given reason to turn to wss (which is our case) I wish they'd realize as a fandom they represent shebly and her as a CC and that their actions can have effects on shebly. From how people view her to how in some places its by law, ccs gave to take responsibility for their fans' behavior if it gets out of hand and they haven't done anything to try and stop it. I barely see any sss actually supporting her. Barely any veiws, no happy birthday wishes no nothing. They just either made caput edits then tell tell wss to kys

It's always nice to have nice sss come on every now and then feels refreshing^^

Ideas for a scenario where the Reader meets the Creepypastas? Perhaps Laughing Jack, Slenderman, and Ben Drowned if that's okay with You?

Meeting Laughing Jack, Slenderman, and Ben! (platonic)

or as i like to say; reader being the main character and being spared by the silly monsters!! very heavy on the hcs in bens segment with the "hes stuck in electronic devices" thing i got going on with him eheheh platonic for the simple fact that this is a meeting post!

SLENDERMAN:

would it really be a meeting with slenderman if i didnt bring up his pages? i think i made a joke post somewhere where your vibe alone intrigued the entity enough not to krill you on the spot... and given how i sometimes write slenderman to be a curious creature, i think it would be fitting that we revisit that idea! though, i dont think you would properly meet on your first encounter; no i dont think you guys formally introduce yourselves to one another until a few days/weeks after the event, when you notice that hes taken to following you around and sticking to the side.. honestly in a weird way its endearing, youve gotten the attention of this old forest monster... creepy but cute! like a stray puppy but if the puppy was like ten feet tall and faceless! thanks to you looking into him on the trusty internet you already know who he is; but you decide to go talk to him anyways. probably go into his woods again after he initially lets you escape... kind of slowly cocks his head to the side when looking down at you and listening to you tell him your name... you kind of jump when you hear /his/ voice in your head telling you that he already knows your name.. friendship.. if you can even call it that, starts off as just him observing you and learning your routine for the first few weeks... youre going to have to make the first big moves in order to get that man to do more than watch

LAUGHING JACK:

whenever i think of scenarios for the reader meeting jack, it always circles back to one main idea. i personally think that jack is in some way tied to his box. you know, the box to his jack. that box.. i think its like a cursed object, like you get it and jack is going to start messing with you not long after. usually i imagine the reader purchasing him at a garage sale, and then the antics ensue... imagine waking up one night and seeing this giant clown leaning down to your face, his cone nose lightly poking the tip of your own nose... you shouldnt be blamed for being even just a little spooked! and.. well next thing you know you have this clown roommate. i think not freaking out is key in making sure you dont die? i mean lj thinks krilling is mostly a game thanks to isaac and usually the victim is well... scared, naturally.. perhaps being outwardly calm dismisses any idea that theres a game going on. shrugs, thats the only decent idea i have... now go domesticate that clown! make him your best friend! or your malewife if thats what you want! just know hes going to be attached to you by the hip; a friend who wont leave him! how fun!

BEN DROWNED:

sure i could say that you go to a garage sale and buy the DS ben is on but thats boring and jack already has the garage sale idea... so im going to be a little different here. i have a headcannon that about 80% of the time ben is tied to a device, but he does have the ability to hop around if theyre linked up in some way... i think a hard drive could work, how he got into one we dont know... but lets say you find a random one, and against your better judgement you decide to plug it into your computer... and oop...! you have a virus.. but no matter how hard you try to look for it you cant find anything... no one can find anything, but your computer is acting so.. weird... its not until it starts leaving notes that you think that someone is doing something... you think its some dark web stuff going on.. what could they want? you guys talk back and forth. at first its just you trying to figure out what the person wants, but over time it turns into just simple chatter... though theres still a tenseness. youre still convinced its someone remotely messing with your computer until that 20% of the time where ben isnt confined happens... needless to say youre absolutely shocked to find a random teenager in your room at your computer, getting water absolutely everywhere mind you! definitely going to need a minute to process whats going on; but honestly i think ben is less of a kriller and more of a troller, at least in my mind... does lead to you trying to find out what happened to him, and perhaps try to find a way for his soul to move on.. funky sibling dynamic, i think

Spencer Reid x she/her reader

Reid x Youtuber/Streamer Girlfriend

- Spencer Reid has a somewhat boomer knowledge of social media platforms, he doesnt really understand them, but he knows from his job that they cause a lot of problems, so generally he steered clear of them in his personal life

- that was, until he met you

- the two of you very quickly became good friends soon after you joined the team, and it wasnt long before you both realised that the connection you had was not one between friends

- you went on a date, and things have only gone up from there

- during a conversation Spencer remembers very well, you casually mentioned your side-job as a youtuber and twitch streamer

- Spencer didnt even know what twitch was, and assumed you meant you live streamed yourself twitching and got paid for it

- you slowly introduced him to the world of youtube and livestreaming, and he was fascinated

- at first, he would sit out of frame while you streamed, just listening to you commentate over various video games you played and observing the way you communicated with the people in the stream chat as if they were your friends

- by no means did you earn a lot through this hobby, but it was something you enjoyed, and Spencer would support any harmless hobby that brought you so much joy

- but then he discovered it wasnt harmless

- you had been very fortunate to have Spencer sit in on streams in which you received very little abuse in chat, and because he wasnt reading the chat you could simply ignore any hateful messages there and he would be none the wiser

- however, on the first stream that he decided to join, things were a little different

- Spencer was sitting beside you, the two of you playing a multiplayer video game, both of you visible to the thousands of people watching

- and he, being the genius capable of doing a million things at once, was able to glance into the chat and read what people were saying as he played, curious to any tips or tricks they may lend him to help him be a better player in the game

- what he saw was anything but helpful

“jesus christ, how the fuck did she manage to trick him to date her”

“this guy makes her look even worse than she already does”

“he could do SO much better”

“I’d rather kill myself than be seen anywhere with her”

“maybe (Y/N) should be the one killing herself since she clearly doesnt deserve him”

“yeah haha u right u right”

- those messages were among more pleasant ones, but Spencer couldnt see those

- in fact, he couldnt even see the game anymore because he was staring at the chat log, and as a result his character died

“Spence? Everything alright?”

“How often do you see messages like that directed at you?”

- you knew what he was referring to without having to look in chat, you had really hoped you could hide the negative side of streaming for just a little longer

“Trust me, it’s alright. People behind a screen think they can be assholes without any comeuppance, and most of the time they’re right. Repercussions for them are minimal. Im lucky to get very few negative messages on my streams, Im used to that and I can cope.”

- Spencer shook his head, he was not happy with this

“You shouldnt have to get used to something like this.”

- with that, he stood up and grabbed his phone, the fans in your stream confused as to what was going on

- “Spencer, what are you-“

“Hey, Garcia, can you do me a favour? The scum of the internet are in (Y/N)’s stream chat, could you- oh, you already see them? Great. Yeah, I know, they’re disgusting.”

he walked back over to you and leaned over to look at your computer, scrolling back through chat to find the usernames.

“Scroll back to where user jnjmemes sent a crying laughing emoticon, you see the string of messages after that? Could you send every single one of those users a nasty virus? Thanks Garcia!”

- your jaw was hanging open, you stared at Spencer with wide eyes, completely lost for words while your fans in the chat were screaming over Spencer’s protectiveness of you

“Oh, one last thing Garcia, is it possible to set up a programme that automatically sends a virus to anyone who leaves a message of a similar nature? Of course you can do that, I should’ve known, thanks again!”

- he hung up and sat back down beside you

“There’s a lesson for all of you in this: dont say hurtful things to people online. But there’s a lesson even more important than that, which I hope you’ve all paid attention to.”

“What’s that?” You asked.

“Dont fuck with a woman in the FBI.”

[ghostsandfools]

this is a vent post, y’all dont gotta respond or anything, im just writing it out here cause i already vented to my partner once today and writing in a diary is too time consuming for me right now

I dont like eating anymore. Things always go the exact same way. I only like a couple of foods, and then we run out of those foods and my parents wont buy me more so i judt dont eat until i get them again, and then when i do get them again i get so scared that someone else will eat them before me, and i end up trying to eat as much as possible. And im kinda tiny, so technically i dont even eat that much but it feels like so much. One meal can take me an hour cause i keep taking breaks. And then after, i feel tired and full and yucky and awful, and i get scared cause i have emetophobia and i keep worrying about getting sick. And i know i shouldnt eat that much but i do anyways. I havent gotten sick from it yet but the thought of it happening makes me wanna cry. I know it’s not healthy, and i hate that i have to struggle with this because i usually know how to deal with this stuff. Life has thrown a lot at me, and ive learned how to manage my mental issues so i dont end up hurting myself. Im usually the one that other people vent to, ive even been helping my partner with their eating issues, so i hate that i cant stop myself from this. I dont like it at all. Im hoping that its gonna go away over time just like everything else has. I used to self harm and i really struggled with that for a while too, but over time and with a little help from a friend i was able to stop that. Maybe this will be the same way… theres not really anything i can do about it. My doctor noticed i was underweight and suggested maybe i should get eating therapy so i can stop being so picky, but that was months ago. I dont know if its gonna happen. And i cant talk to my parents about it cause theyll say some dumb shit about how praying is going to help or how i just need to get better at eating and its not that hard. Cause thats exactly what theyve done every other time. And im stsrting to realize im gonna have to learn how to be there for myself the same way im there for others.

if you did read all this, dont worry bout me. I know that was a pretty depressing little paragraph, but writing it out has made me feel a little better. It’s easy to give people advice, but i have trouble following my own advice sometimes, and thats something im practicing. Im glad that i realize the issue, because at lesst i can work on it. Thats the first step. I think ill be alright.

[deepest-dope]

remember my ex-raider post? no? im referencing it anyway! so anyways heres the new vegas companions ranked for how long admitting to being an ex raider would shut them up, listed longest time to shortest time! you can use it for your own ocs i guess but this is mostly based on my boy cave

boone stopped talking for an entire week after. he'd just barely gotten conversational after 1 month of traveling together towards vegas. he was talking about the ncr too much and too positively. it took 2 more weeks for him to get back to what counts as conversational for boone. hes not really chatty in the first place but his weirdly high trust in the ncr even after what he himself is upset about them putting him through is very grating. cave dropped an additional im a jackal and ex-powder ganger bomb month 3 after craig tried to suggest he enlist after a trip to bitter springs. they never really got to start talking again before boone was killed.

cass went quiet after being told and stayed quiet for 3 entire days. got over it in the end though, but mostly because he's not a raider anymore. nobody tell her its only ex because he literally cannot get back to his old group and he does not trust anyone else enough to run with. probably shouldnt say anything about having considered trying to join the great khans for a while before unfortunate circumstances ended up souring his relationship with most of the great khans he was close to either. this was before she figured out he was an addict which she was honestly way more upset about, she was pestering him to drink with her.

raul took one full day to get over it, actually suspected it for a while beforehand based on cave's vaguely guilty reaction to being told the story of how raul's family died. doesnt really hold it against cave like boone and cass did either. he is the first and for a long time only person to realize cave uses the fact he used to be a raider as an easy single use method to make people shut up and leave him alone for a while. cave used it because he ran out of stuff to keep withdrawal at bay and just needed some quiet time without raul razzing him or kvetching at him. raul is actually semi-prepared to come to cave's defense for when he tells other people that little tidbit about himself if they have a bad reaction to it. not where cave can see him do it though.

arcade took until cave was finished cooking for everyone, so like an hour at most, but wasnt overly hung up on it. cave actually pulled that card out more for arcades benefit then his own because arcade was stumbling over another attempt to cover up his past with the enclave badly. arcade wasnt that torn up over it but could tell cave needed a little time to himself, but not that cave usually uses the ex raider bomb to get time to himself. also semi-prepared to come to caves defense if anyone takes the ex-raider thing badly. it actually helps arcade feel better admitting to being an enclave citizen to cave. they both think their past is much worse then each others.

veronica takes it 2nd best out of everyone at like 30 minutes tops, and thats mostly because she was eating lunch with him. also the only one to really pick up on the fact that he would very much still be a raider if he still had his family and is pretty understanding of this. also fully prepared to play defense with raul and arcade if anyone ever finds out and takes it badly. dude gives her every pristine dress he gets his hands on and has her eternal friendship by now.

grandma lily took zero time to come to terms with it. she was fussing over him for whatever reason and he dropped the ex raider bomb trying to get her off his back for a minute and she said "its okay sweetie, you and your old friends all did what you had to to make it out there in the wasteland. no shame in that at all, grandma still loves you" and ended up making cave cry for the first time in a decade. raul had to take over cooking dinner for the group while he was crying uncontrollably. leader of the jimmy defenders.

[jdopes-recorder]

Ok imagine felix taking you out to an expensive restaurant (crack)

Btw, my first long post of these things so feedback will be appreciated <33

He told you that he was just taking you for some ice cream

You dress up moderately cuz it's just ice cream

Then he drives right past the ice cream shop and you're like "dude wha-??? "

He drives a bit more and stops in front of a fancy smazy restaurant and gets you out of the car

You're all "LIX YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME LOOK AT HOW I'M DRESSED😟"

And he just gives you his blinding heart melting smile, apologizes and tells you that you look absolutely beautiful and stunning in anything

Safe to say you're all 🥺🥺 and blushing but still a little frustrated

Then you get the menus and you see the prices first obviously and-

HOW CAN ONE PLATE OF FRIES BE 200 LIKE DAMN DO THEY SPRINKLE GOLD ON IT?!?

After a bunch of complaining from you, he makes you order whatever you want and says that he wants to do this for you

And you're like "I love you sm boi but seriously wtf"

You get some noodle thing you can't pronounce but sounds fancy cuz you shouldnt really just get a burger in such a place

You get the fries cuz... Fries

Turns out that noodle thing wasn't all that great and was a little spicy but hey, the chicken in it was pretty good and you got a chance to make a bbokari joke that wasn't taken so well oops-

Then you watch (deathstare) him eat his pasta and prawn until he notices and gives you some cuz he's sweet like that

WHY IS HIS FOOD SO MUCH BETTER

His food is now yours.

You look at the deserts and there's this 70% pure chocolate cake and you decide you'll split that

It looks a lot smaller than expected *cough* that's what she said *cough*

But then you take a bite and it tastes like a cocoa bean took a shit in your mouth, in a good way..... You get it

It's so chocolatey that you feel lowkey sick

You give the rest to him and wonder how he can eat that much of it without feeling sick cuz it's THAT sweet

He takes some photos of you while you die of embarrassment cuz people are looking at you like 🫤

Then you happily take pics if him cuz he's stunning and beautiful and perfect and so freaking adorable you just wanna squish him and stuff him in your pocket like your own personal ray of sunshine and lucky charm

Then you tell him how bloated your tummy is and you don't like it 🙁

And hes all "THAT'S SO ADORABLE AND SQUISHY I LOVE IT STAWPPPP" and will later proceed to take a nap on it like it's his very own pillow

On the way back y'all keep singing(screaming) your fav songs and may have gotten too into it that it almost became a little concert

You finally get to the dorms where you'll be staying the night and you can hear the screaming and chaos from outside

You open the door and see minho chasing hyunjin with tissues in his hand again, chan with his earphones on his laptop (you swear you're gonna steal it someday), han stuffing his face with cheesecake, changbin watching some workout tips videos, seungmin just reading his book and jeongin watching a marvel movie while silently judging them all

The moment he notices you hyunjin runs and shields himself from minho behind you just in time to avoid getting his mouth stuffed

They're all like " HELLO ANYEONGHASEYEOOO" in Jackson style

Then hyunjin is "you guys went and ate at a fancy restaurant without me :((" And starts getting teary and dramatic cuz is he hyunjin if he doesn't?

And lo and behold, from your bag you pull out.....

THE NOODLES YOU DIDN'T LUV AND ABANDONED FOR LIXIE'S FOOD

Cue the praises and crying of joy from hyunnie

They all dig in and kinda like it but they all agree that it was stupidly expensive and you look at Felix like, " SEE BISH I'M RIGHT "

Channie decides to try some and becomes as red as an angry white man in the summer and runs to the kitchen to get milk (that yo daddy never came back with but dw Chris is bringing some for all of y'all)

And then all of you sit down and finish watching that movie with innie and you complete the lines with them cuz you a marvel fan✨

You say goodnight and head to bed (except channie and you are so close to dragging him by the hair and tucking him in bed agressivsely but with lob)

As expected, lixie uses ur tummy as his pillow and is out like a light

You just stare at him like "JLKFHSYFKGHDJH HE'S SO PRETTYYYY" and play with his soft beautiful hair and go to dreamy land

Tagging @sparkystraynger cuz she asked for it and has practically sold her soul by doing so *insert evil laughter*

[pineapplerightsideupcake]

Why are you shocked people care more about what makes their news? You personally don't give a rats ass about violent regimes elsewhere either. Why is your argument well you didn't care before so you shouldnt care now and also you only care because Jews are doing the mass murder now!!! Like... That's crazy It's always bad. War crimes are always bad, but you seem to think they deserve a pass because ???? People didn't care before they started carpet bombing Gaza ??? Do you hear yourself ???

I like that I’ve repeatedly said that I don’t think war crimes deserve a pass but you’re still here insisting that because I think calling for Israel to be dismantled is transparently antisemitic I must love civilian casualties and are thus doing precisely what I just wrote a damn essay on.

Did you read anything I wrote? War IS a crime. There is no pure or ethical war. And no one cared what it looked like until Jews started doing it.

That doesn’t make it okay, but it lays bare the hypocrisy and antisemitism festering in the left.

And to a point you’re right in that I can’t know based only off of what people don’t post on tumblr what they care about but I can tell from their stubborn ignorance and blatant misinformation that they aren’t doing the work.

The type of people cheering for Hamas and Houthi’s in Yemen have demonstrated a catastrophic lack of understanding and empathy. These are people so lazy they can’t be bothered to do simple google searches. People so smug in their righteousness they can’t imagine their ‘good intentions’ might be misguided or weaponized. People so sure they’re more intelligent than conservatives they don’t bother to check if they’re posting propaganda or downright lies.

And because I’ve watched the left do this 100000 times I know you’ll all get bored.

Remember all those migrants in what are basically interment camps at the US border? The ones AOC cried tears in front of? They’re all still there. It was the policy before Trump and after to cage them like animals. Trump just amped it up to 11. I’m the only person I know that still brings that up. Because everyone else stopped caring.

Because they only care about what’s trendy.

And I wouldn’t mind nearly as much if the narrative was “look you can’t care about everything always” because you can’t.

But white leftists only say that after the fervor has died down. They only say it about yesterday’s tragedy. During the fever pitch they demand that you stop everything and weigh in. Even if you don’t know a single fucking thing you’d better repeat the Party Approved lines and hashtags.

I have FAMILY in Israel. Do you really think this is the first time I’m hearing about these things? The first time I cared?

[terraliensvent]

I’m sorry put the op was right about them being human beings with thoughts and feelings. Did it come off to strong? Yes. But the fact you have to put the glaring issue of they can’t take criticism as your stance isn’t even a viable way of proving your point as there have been clear efforts to change things in the community as of recently. Now that Temul is in charge of the group!

Not saying the fair of amount of criticism isn’t justified. In fact there is always room for improvement and it should be heavily encouraged.

But shouldn’t mods be people you trust? Not total strangers? but active community members who become good acquaintances with staff? No seriously. I’ve been spectating the server since July of last year and half of those people didn’t even know each-other til they met on the server. Some of them aren’t even friends til being asked to join. And so what if they’re friends? That means they’re a trustworthy candidate that can be vouched for.

It’s actually insane how people will just assume the worst out of a situation without any definitive answers but purely based on their pre-decided judgement of others. Which is a huge issue right now especially with cancel culture.

I can’t even begin to explain how entitled half the people in closed species communities are because half of the problems stem from the people themselves. Now this is a vent blog and it’s meant for voices to be heard. That much is obvious. All you need to know is change doesn’t happen within a week. It takes months so don’t assume the worst in situations or you’re gonna stay bitter in these communities when you eventually quit.

Stay safe and touch grass 👍

i feel like youre neglecting to acknowledge the full range of points i made in my last response.

yes, theres change happening within the past 2 months, but theres also things to have gripes about. im glad things are seeming to move toward getting better, but at the same time that shouldnt deflect from the fact there are still things to be worked on

i understand theres the big rework happening right now with stuff, but for transparency’s sake im not going to give points for things that arent completed. you can say youre working on things, but until i can physically see them and be able to make a judgement on the effectiveness of implemented changes, im not going to comment on them because i dont want to have to retroactively edit my perspective.

also, “mods are making changes” and “mods cant take criticism” arent mutually exclusive. the changes being made currently are a result of the work getting too hard for them with design approvals because they were SO nitpicky and people actually started to complain on a large scale. but as seen in the suggestion forums, not a lot of suggestions seem to be really introspected on. ive seen so many solid ideas that work for other large species just be totally tossed out because “its too much work for mods” but yet when more mods are hired, they dont seem to be doing really any work.

which brings me to my next point, i said in the last post i would have been more forgiving about all the mods being in the same clique if it werent for the fact that the new mods never seem to be doing anything besides promoting commissions. quality of life improvements are constantly denied because the workload is “just so difficult” but then you never actually see evidence of extra hands being used to make big change. again, if you keep adding people do the mod team it should not be taking weeks to get a MYO design approved.

im gonna barely entertain the last bit of your ask simply because it comes off as intensely patronizing to me. are we really talking about cancel culture when the issue at hand is “terra staff are bad at taking criticism?” it comes off as very much “holier than thou” mentality when you call others entitled for daring to say they dont like the way things are run. change takes months, yeah, but thats when you actually DECIDE to change and not shrug it off because “work hard :(“ dont put yourself on a pedestal just because youre more dismissive of things than others

[arothin]

I'll take you up on that offer of being genuine because I like it when people do the same for me. This first part is all for your first question.

Short answer is that democracy is the worst form of government there is, except for everything else we've tried. Long answer is an essay below the cut.

I want to go through your first question kind of point by point, but first I want to try and imagine a better system of government, and while I disagree with a violent overthrow of the current government (as I do not think it is yet necessary), thats where I'll start for building a better government; a blank slate.

So all the fascists and other parties and ideologies that want power over others are dead and gone, both foreign and domestic, so we don't have to worry about defending against an outside force reverting us back to the current status quo, which happens in so, so many revolutions.

All basic services necessary for life (food, water, electricity, sewage, medicine, education) are readily available. There are still resources to share and standards to set. I'll even propose a moneyless society that works (though I disagree about such feasability or necessity). The greatest resource of all: land. Not just land for farming, but for nature and for living, for industry (electricity and its generators must be produced still, medecine must still be made), etc. How will what goes where and when still needs to be decided. Even if there is a group of experts to decide these things, how do we form agreement on who gets to be in this group of experts? if theres no group of experts, how do we form agreement with eachother? You cant just make more land, you will always need to share and the dutch cant make enough for everyone.

Then there are arbitrary standards, for the longest times these have been weights and measures. competing standards with no oversight leads to bad results:

So how do we get everyone to agree on arbitrary standards that must be followed, but theres no reason for any decision to go any which way? Switching medication amounts from CCs to fl oz will kill people. you say CCs I say fl oz. now what?

Democracy does not stop any of these things from going wrong, and it certainly doesnt automarically provide for everything ive laid out in this hypothetical future, but its also pretty much the only way to get these things right, if thats at all possible. Now this is just an opinion, but I prefer having a system that sometimes gets things right over a system that cant get things right at all, while we try to find a system that can always get things right. its a tough pill to swallow, but we havent found that system yet.

Now answering your first question directly. Right now, whats the appeal of democracy? A fire extinguisher, or at least fire retardent. Anyone who tells you "all you need to do is vote" is indeed trying to pacify you away from direct action. Voting also buys you time for direct action to work. If you reply, I'd like this responded to directly, as I know this is a length post: Is it impossible to vote for a new system that does indeed outlaw fascism? Not that is it impossible for anything else to bring about a better system, but can this? can voting? If it can, shouldnt we have a diversity of tactics, try everything we can do bring about that better system?

Now onto your second question. First, yes I do really, really believe that (not all, but too many, and certainly of those in positions of power) want to do exactly as youve listed. However, political violence is a dam that once burst is not easy to rebuild, and its a river that flows both ways; usually until everyone is drowned. If republicans and fascists already hold systemic power then if history repeats itself, that means they are better positioned to engage in political violence then we are.

Whether we like it or not, there are genuinely neutral people who will only ever care about justifications and what is or is not within the rules, regardless of how moral those rules are, and they will turn against whoever breaks the rules first. I know it doesnt always seem like it because fascists have gotten away with bending the rules and shaping them to benefit themselves for so long (and disavowing their own who outright break them), but its true. Theres a reason abolitionism skyrocketed in the U.S. only after the confederacy broke the rules first.

It is a petty, vindictive, and cruel game fascists are forcing others to play with your lives as the game pieces; but I think all they care about is playing the game, and if we don't play at all, I think theyd prefer to just smash the pieces. When they start smashing pieces (and it is a matter of when, not if) I have no problem with violence then. Until then, they are offering not to smash the pieces yet as long as we keep playing the game at the ballot box. Right now, if we stop playing, that large group of neutral people will stand idly by as the fascists start smashing pieces, and theyll say the rules allow it because the fascists won by still playing. If we play the game long enough to win, the neutral party will side with us when the fascists start smashing pieces, because we played by the rules to win, and losers dont get to smash pieces. If we break the rules by hitting the fascists first, that neutral party will side with them, even if we did the right thing, because we broke the rules first.

I really do have an honest question for libshit voteblues, and it seems like it isn't an honest question because that's what I call them but it's merely an honest descriptor:

Anyway, two questions.

Question the first: If Republicans have managed to game the formal structure of the democratic system so that they threaten to end it each and every election cycle, and the proximate consequence is transition to a fascist dictatorship under God Emperor Trump and his Project 2025, then what the FUCK is the appeal of democracy supposed to be? Why are we supposed to fight to keep this system in place instead of inaugurating some other system that categorically excludes fascists from access to political power?

And closely related question the second: if you really believe, if you really, really believe that the Republicans are getting ready to send my family and me back to the plantations and open up death camps for every central American immigrant and Muslim in the country, then why aren't you moving to make the Republican party fucking illegal? Why aren't you firebombing their offices or assassinating their ideologues? Because that's what people have done in the past in similar situations and your insistence on simply forestaying their sweep into power until 4 years later is not commensurate with the seriousness of the consequences in imminent loss of life that you're claiming to believe is at stake.

i am salty at time

tldr at bottom like im some fucking redditor lmao (the funny is that i am a redditor)

i hate being a young age. i hate being less than 18 (i am 17) and not being able to interact with the fandom of an adult show I shouldn't have even gotten invested in. its nobodys fault i know that these rules exist for a very good goddamn reason im just. salty at time. fuck it thats the title of this post

I didn't exactly decide to get invested in this show (hazbin). I went through a traumatic event at the same time as my undertale friends were posting alastor x reader fics on quotev, and having seen the pilot a while earlier (promising myself i wouldnt get invested until i was older :rolling_eyes:) i clicked on the fics. my enthusiasm with undertale was dying out, the fandom for it on quotev was waning and i was on the hunt for a new coping mechanism to latch myself to so that definitely didn't help. shouldn't have read the fics or even watched the pilot in the first place considering its very clearly an adult show, but what teenager whos been through shit actually listens to those warnings? i know, a lot of excuses, but at least its relatively conseequence-free...? its not like im using a fake id to get alcohol or anything lmao

anyways. there's Emotions in my brain right now. like, man! i was born too late to properly experience some of the best fandom shenanigans! and you can't just tell me that I'll experience those when im older, do you see how fast the internet is changing?? reading posts detailing shenanigans from the harry potter fandom or the minecraft fandom is like,, sure i can look back but. here let me use an example that might make more sense. it's the same feeling as turning on streetpass on my 3DS and knowing that the age of being able to actually pass anyone with a 3DS on the street is gone and over and dead. the dread of that future is the feeling I get when i see these cool fandom things happening in the Adult World (TM) and its like I'm so fuckin close to being the Age. I'm literally 17,, time go slower please. not because i dont want to be the age of 18 yet (i actually want to be 18 sooner for many reasons that are TMI and would require a paragraph of trigger warnings to even start to get into) but i'm more saying that i want *culture* to move slower. Don't leave me before I get the chance to experience you, I say! But it's literally too late for a lot of it, especially with videogames but also with TV shows. the undertale fandom is populated by a good amount of children and i was obviously one of them (still am!) but if i didn't lie about my age i wouldve never had as much fun as i did, even considering the very child-friendly content of the game itself. im never cosplaying as an adult online ever again because 1. too stressful and 2. im almost 18 anyways but I STILL FEEL EMOTIONS about the amount of time that i still have to wait eeeeeeee. zuck better hold his HORSES 4 fucks sake. the internets changing. eee.

TL;DR i shouldnt have gotten invested in hazbin, but i did, and now im remembering all the fandom things with nintendo that i brainlessly watched pass by me and now wish i couldve experienced. Although I'm almost 18, i compare the hazbin stuff to the nintendo stuff and its freaking me out irrationally.

Hi i, writing advice please?

Hello anon :) I'm not sure if I'm the most qualified to give writing advice, but here are some tips I like to employ (under the cut!)

Once again I'm not rlly qualified to give help so u should use this advice in tandem with other advice! I would try out lots of advice from lots of people and the just keep doing what works for you and discard what doesn't :)

One piece of advice that saves my ass is from a Tumblr post, idk where it is but the advice is that if you get stuck in your writing, 90% of the time the issue is approx. ten sentences behind where you are when you get stuck. Literal life-changing advice for me because it's just so true.

Write what you want to write!!! Seriously if you're in a slump/writer's block just write down every cool piece of dialogue or every vague idea for a scene you have. Even if you don't have characters to fit it or it doesn't fit into the plot, just writing out scenes you enjoy can make you motivated to write again + you may be able to incorporate them later

This is more of a personal preference but I really love natural sounding dialogue. Characters trailing off, stuttering/stammering, or using the wrong words for things my beloved! Imo it makes them feel more lifelike to have them not always say things perfectly :)

Pay attention to things you like in other people's writing! Not necessarily specific ideas, but more like styles of writing! If you like a scene that another person wrote, see if you can pinpoint why. Was it their detailed description of the scene, or was it their dialogue?

This is for the Dream SMP specifically, but if you're ever stuck I would rewatch/read the wiki/re-familiarize yourself w the character(s) you're writing for. Even if you think you have a good grasp. Sometimes I'll be rewatching a vod and stumble across a random character detail that gives me a dozen more ideas.

In summary though I would just keep in mind that everyone has strengths/weaknesses! Nobody's writing is perfect, we are all improving as we go along, and fic writing (assuming that is what you're writing) should be fun! As long as your story doesn't break boundaries just try and have fun with it, and try not to be too harsh on yourself :)

i literally love you, thank you so much for tagging me!!!! and might as well answer these while im writing a story (also while balancing a fuck ton of deadlines)

music - honestly, completely random. one day its classical music, another its 80s-00s rock or rnb, another its rap, another its rnb, and on another day its love songs. it just depends the mood, really, but i do find myself listening to 70s-90s music and rnb alot. they just get my spirits up like no other. favs are rini, daniel caesar, gemini, and alan vuong along many others. ofc, i still like taylor swift, sabrina carpenter, olivia rodrigo, but i dont really listen to them at all that much rn (but their songs still goes hard)

life-style - wouldnt say complete shit, but wouldnt say complete happiness either. i cook for myself, work for myself, and live for myself with the addition of my friends and family. my life revolves completely around one routine being school (a fuck ton, even at home), part time, work out, study, and write when i can (which is, rn, literally i have no time for it, sadly). so, for me, its pretty hard to balance all those things together especially when i have other hobbies that i tend to take care of. at weekends, i really try my best to not focus on my academics so ill start writing again, playing guitar, painting, maybe try again at skateboarding (i literally dont know shit about biking, why the fuck am i skateboarding) then just repeat until monday hits. but even so, i wouldn't trade my life to get a slightly better one. im already accustomed to mine, and ill just strive to get a better lifestyle everyday.

writing - tbh i never saw myself actually writing and posting it for hundreds of people to see, it was just a 'fuck it, we ball' situation. my love for books and literally anything thats labeled literature even if its just fanfiction goes beyond limits but i never thought i would be the one thats going to be behind those words. i started writing on wattpad then to ao3 when i realized that i could make writing a hobby even if i suck ass at it, believe it or not, but those were short lived since my motivation eventually dried out. then one day i started going to tumblr more often to read fanfics about j.o and other actors i take interest in and then my fingers suddenly went from scrolling then to actually writing one myself. im not good at writing at all, i try to to be better everyday but i always fall short in my eyes. so imagine my surprise when i posted my first story on here and it got some pretty good feedback that eventually led me to here. i never even thought about people seeing it or even my account growing, so thank you for the people who decided that my stories were worth their mind and, most especially, their time. i write for all of them.

me - actually, i dont know. took the 16personalities quiz and it says that im an infp. im a people pleaser by heart and a idgaf person by mind (i listen to my heart more, if you couldnt tell) im a hopeless romantic with a penchant of falling inlove as if i could get someone to like me back, cries alot at the smallest things especially when someone im near with is crying, reaching for my career even if it means i would have to go through dantes inferno to even get the slightest bit of a perfect score. my family describes me as someone who they shouldnt talk in the early asscrack in the morning and whenever its a stressful week. it just equals to receiving the nastiest silent treatment. people tell me i look like jenna ortega and ariana greenblatt or that they remind me of billie eillish and finn wolfhard. its a weird mix up between the four of them. theres alot going on with me, but im a cat lover!! thats literally it.

thank you sm for tagging me bae, love ya!!

+ i dont really have any friends on tumblr ��� ill just leave it up to the rest

get to know you? music, lifestyle, writing, etc. just stuff that makes you, you

and maybe tag some people to start a chain? totally optional!

:D sure! thank you for the ask 🫶🏻

music: I love synths like a heathen… I write, primarily, so the lyrics matter a lot to me, but I used to play a couple instruments so I love listening to all parts of a song. hyper pop, pop rock, indie pop, indie rock? I think those are the genre names. my top songs rn are sweet dreams by eurythmics, the other side of paradise by glass animals, and sober by big bang

lifestyle: cathemeral omnivore…? my life currently revolves around school, my job, and other career responsibilities ^^

writing: sporadic (as you can tell rip), I edit in my head and as I write, I’ve always loved analyzing text and really enjoy it!

me: umm I’m having a cold brew with silk oat milk and vanilla torani rn, I have a cat I love her, I get easily overstimulated when it comes to stuff touching me but I’ll watch two youtube videos at the same time, I love food I live to eat, I love the nyt connections

Hey Marinette and Adrien salter here. feel free to ignore if you dont wanna read negative stuff >,<

Until now I thought both are equally bad characters bc they dont seem to care for each other but reading your posts I changed my mind on Marinette a bit.

They are a team so I always expected them both to be kind to each other but Marinette is sometimes very harsh to him. Since Cat Noir is also Adrien I saw her as superficial like how can you love and dislike the same person at the same time??? Dont get me wrong tho, I never liked how Cat Noir pursued Ladybug. I just thought "well Adrien is Cat Noir and if Marinette ACTUALLY knew his real self she would not like him. She only likes the character traits that she can see, she doesn't dig deeper.

Reading some of your posts i thought a little about their realtionship and I feel like Adrien shouldnt have a miraculous. I didnt watch SE 4 but when he put that ring down in kuroneko...dude...is a potential relationship with ladybug really the only reason you were a superhero? You cant just enjoy the time you spend together and be happy with that? What a slap in the face.

Marinette deserves a better partner. I hope she will eventually realize what kind of guy Adrien is...

sorry if this is an unwarranted rant >.< Have a nice day!

Thank you for sending an ask and sharing your view on things. I used to be a LS shipper and then Season 2 & 3 hit and I realized that something wasn’t right. I realized just how targeted Marinette was by the writing and it upset me greatly. She apologizes more than anyone else in the show.

(If you go to miraculous content’s blog they have gone through the entire show and made a chart to show the ratio of how many times Marinette apologizes compared to the other characters and it’s HUGE)

To be fair though, I started having inklings in Season 1 as well. The writing is so targeted towards Marinette that most people fall for the writing and began hating her. It’s designed to make her look bad and make things her fault even if it doesn’t make sense.

Like Gamer in Season 1. It’s framed to make her look bad for taking Max’s spot but the thing is, it was never his spot. It was a competition and he was still competing. Marinette may have entered to play with Adrien but that’s not bad. She barely ever got to spend time with him because of his schedule but because it was for Adrien she was found to be wrong.

How? She entered fairly, played fairly, and won fairly. Even Max said so, even though he was bitter and a sore loser about it. And what about the people who lost the competition before Marinette entered, none of them got akumatized. And what if Max beat any friends of his who were also in the competition? You don’t see anyone get bitter, just him.

Thomas has already admitted that Marinette has to learn a lesson ever episode, so he’s basically saying that Marinette is wrong every episode. But the thing is, she isn’t. If this was a show for small children I’d say ok. But it’s not and Thomas knows it’s not. The show depicts Marinette trying her hardest trying to change herself but either she’s not believed or she’s dismissed and forced into interacting with Adrien.

And yet Thomas says Adrien is perfect and he knows that’s not true either but the writing tries and fails to show Adrien as morally right. Adrien’s social understanding is low, how can he be morally right in situations he’s never experienced.

It’s a double standard that’s designed to make Marinette look like the bad guy even though she didn’t do anything wrong. I implore you to rewatch the episodes, or read other people’s analysis for Marinette’s side of things to get a better perspective of things.

[AN: Hello my love. Thank you for participating in this event, I really appreciate it <3 Hope it came out like you imagined it. Enjoy and take care :)]

Ugly. Fat. Disgusting.

Those were just a few of the horrible thoughts that ran through your head as you looked into the mirror each day. Some days you felt like you had to avoid a mirror completely, too disgusted with yourself to even look at your reflection.

It was already dinner time as Kuroo browsed the refrigerator for something to cook while you sat at the counter, scrolling aimlessly through your phone, trying to distract your mind from the negative thoughts that had been plaguing you for a few days now.

“Mmm, have you eaten yet?” Kuroo asks you mindlessly, still looking through the fridge, as if a meal would magically appear the longer he looked.

Your heart drops to your stomach as your eyes shoot to him.

“Yes! Of course I ate already!” you say a little too quickly.

“Really? What did you eat? There was nothing in the refrigerator earlier when I checked and I don’t recall seeing you eat anything today,” he says, his attention now on you.

You fidget anxiously in your seat, “Uhh, just a snack?”

It came out as more of a question, which only confirmed his thoughts. You had in fact not eaten yet.

“I’m gonna order something. What do you want?” He finally closes the refrigerator and grabs his phone from his pocket, scrolling through the variety of restaurants nearby.

“Nothing. I don’t really feel hungry.”

He stops scrolling to look up at you, his eyes squinting slightly as he eyes you down. He lies his phone down on the counter and walks around so he’s now in front of you.

“Why?” he asks, trying to get you to look him in the eye, “Why are you doing this to yourself?”

“Doing what?” you say, still looking anywhere but at him.

“You know what Y/N. I’ve been keeping an eye on you for a few days now. I didn’t want to say anything until I was sure though, so tell me why you’ve been skipping meals. What’s going on, baby?” He reaches over and gently grabs your hand in his, leaving a gentle kiss to the top of it. “I’m right here. All you have to do is confide in me. I won’t think any differently of you or yell at you. I just want to help if I can.”

Having him treat you so softly made your heart clench as unwanted tears finally bubbled up to the surface of your eyes, betraying the neutral face you were trying to keep up. You crumbled in his touch as he noticed your tears and brought you into his arms, placing kisses onto the crown of your head.

“It’s all right. I’m here and I love you.”

You continue to cry, more so from frustration at yourself that you were putting Kuroo through this. You felt like he deserved someone better than you, so you let it all out; every last dark thought about yourself.

“How can you honestly look at me each day and feel happy to be with someone like me? Seriously Kuroo, look at me,” you say as you pull away from his arms, gesturing for him to take a good look at you, “I’m disgusting. I’m ugly. I’m fat. I’m repulsive. I hate myself.”

After every word, his face falls further and further, his heart breaking at hearing you speak about yourself so negatively. He stops you from saying anything else, by bringing you into his arms again, ignoring your protests.

��Please don’t ever say that again,” he whispers into your hair, which makes you freeze in his arms; not used to the vulnerability in his tone, “I see you every day and not a day goes by where I’m not overcome by happiness and love from being with you. You can’t see it yet, but you’re beyond perfect in my eyes. There’s no one I’d rather spend my life with than you, Y/N. I mean that. Seriously.”

You grasp onto his shirt tightly, as you once again fall apart in his arms. Feeling unworthy of having a man like Kuroo beside you to love you, but grateful for him regardless.

“So, don’t ever change a single thing about yourself,” he speaks again, leaning away to caress your face as his eyes pool with tears of his own, “Not one inch of your perfect body, face, skin, personality–don’t change a single thing about yourself. I don’t want to witness you starving yourself to rid yourself of imperfections that aren’t there. I know it’s what you see, but all you’re doing is bringing harm to your body. To yourself.”

“And to you,” you add, reaching up to wipe away his own tears that had fallen, “I’m sorry.”

He smiles softly, looking into your eyes, “You don’t need to apologize. It’s time to think of yourself. Take care of you and I’ll help along the way too if you need it. Please tell me you’ll try at least.”

“I will. I promise,” you say, hating that you brought pain to the man you love.

That was all he needed to hear before he brought you back into his arms as he tried to convince you to eat something light at least. It would be a long road ahead of learning to accept who you are and how you look, but with Kuroo loving you and encouraging you everyday, you would get through it little by little, taking each day at a time together.

ML What if

(What if Marinette didnt try to expose Lila in Chameleon?)

inspired by @ilikekidsshows posts about this episode (which were quite eye opening)

-Marinette was not happy with the seat changes. And part of her wanted to call out Lila about her lies after asking about her tinnitus. But she realized something. Calling Lila out right now would only make her look bad. She would need to think this through. Being impulsive is what caused Lila's akumatization last time. So she doesnt push the issue or complain about the seat change no matter how dumb the lie seemed to her.

-So Marinette decided to sit in the back, albeit a bit sad over the loss of her seat. But she accepts the new seating arrangements, saying only that she wishes she had a bit of a say in how the seats were arranged.

-Now seeing how gloomy she is (and being one of the few that knows Lila. Adrien asks if he could sit with Marinette. Much to Lila's chagrin.

-Lila reminds adrien that he was going to help her by explaining things, but Adrien assures her that he would be happy to help her after class when he can. And because the class is so caring, they would each volunteer to help Lila out too. Which made Lila force a smile and accept sitting in the front by herself.

-Marinette now sitting next to Adrien actually found very little to be angry about as she now had to try her best to focus while sitting next to Adrien.

-Adrien thanks Marinette for being cool with the seat switch. He wasnt crazy about sitting next to Lila.

-Marinette of course is fine with it.

-Marinette still is skeptical of Lila, but she doesnt have a reason to really try and expose her. Lila on the other hand is kind of annoyed. But Hawkmoth doesnt sense anything.

-Of course Marinette does get annoyed that Lila made ANOTHER excuse (the sprained wrist). And she talks to Alya about it, saying she is 'Suspicious' of Lila. 'Seems she kind of has a lot of convenient ailments'

-Alya (seeing as the situation with Adrien ended up BETTER for Marinette) actually thinks Marinette has a bit of a point. But she also points out that they also have nothing proving she is lying and in these types of situations one would need proof. But Alya does say that she will keep an eye on her as she trusts her friend's judgement. Which is enough to satisfy Marinette so she wont do anything like throw something at Lila.

-So Lila has no reason to be worried about Marinette, and there is no confrontation in the bathroom. So the akuma doesnt show up in pursuit of Marinette.

-Adrien's part however still happens. He knows Lila is Lying and politely suggests she stop, just like in canon. This is enough for Hawkmoth to send his akuma out. As Lila REALLY did not like being told off by Adrien.

-Chameleon happens and just like in canon, Adrien gets framed.

-The fight is pretty much identical. And Ladybug offers the truce just like in canon which Lila fake accepts.

-Lila still goes on lying and explaining her story of how Ladybug saved her on the Eiffel tower. Marinette looked ready to go, but noticed something catch her ear. Max questioned her.

-"I thought you said you had tinnitus in your left ear. Why would she give you an ear plug in your right ear?"

-And Marinette watched as Lila fumbled to correct herself. She barely saved it. But Marinette could tell, there were a few that were skeptical. Max and Rose especially.

-Adrien changes up his words. Saying that he can tell she is feeling the same as he is. Wanting to call her out, but that they shouldnt worry. "We know the truth, and the truth has a way of getting through eventually. So it really doesnt matter."

-Marinette nodded, Adrien was right, confronting Lila would only inflate tension, and she could see that people were starting to get a better idea of who Lila is. It was her call.

-So Marinette is content and her being in the back with Adrien was pretty great, until she got distracted and was asked to move down.

-Lila pulls the move in which she says her tinnitus cleared up and asks to move in the back. (creating more skeptics) but the moving chair shenanigans resulted in Marinette and everyone back to their original seats.

-The class is slowly becoming more suspicious of Lila. But for now, her lies are safe.
