#ofc it couldnt happen all at once and it would have to be like

what i dont understand is, why isnt building housing out of homeless encampments, using the existing infrastructure as bones, to create real shelters with utilities, while directly improving both the city and the unhoused people who are staying there, and keeping the community formed there in tact?

Close to my grandma's age when she had my dad literally wtf

hi hi hi hi i saw this post and i wanna see your take on it (with peter ofc like hurt/comfort) (https://www.tumblr.com/moonstruckme/730170525023862784/okay-hey-me-again-was-hoping-to-send-a-request?source=share) something similar happened to me a couple of weeks ago too.

So a couple of weeks ago i was planning like this whole big get together and was texting everyone and planning food, decorations and everything and the day of most people either canceled or just literally didnt show up and i didnt even get a text or anything, and i literally spent hours planning, like i went to TJMaxx, Marshalls and stuff like that to find cute decorations and everything, like i spent all of my own money on this. Since no one came i literally sat in my house all dolled up eating everything and watch tv cuz i was upset. THEN around like 11 at night i was on instagram (and im guessing one of them forgot to take me off their close friends) and i saw a story of basically everyone i invited to my party go to another persons party or something i wasnt invited to ig and none of them told me. Like if im being honest, if they couldnt come cuz of some other event i would have moved the date even tho i picked it first. but like, its so shitty cuz they are like my main friend group and its hard for me to mingle with people in general. I have been texting like dry responses and the group chat has been empty since and i have no idea what to do. - 🎀

The TV in front of you flickered from frame to frame, each pixel reflecting a bright and blinding light into your dark living room. It’s late as you sit alone on the couch, eating the food you prepared for your friends going to waste due to your overplanning. Or maybe because they didn’t bother to show up. 

As you mindlessly shovel food into your mouth, you think back on your trips to pick out decorations for this night. You went with Peter, and you spent too much, but you didn’t care. You wanted your friends to gawk at the effort you put in, you just wanted them to care. 

When you were picking out an outfit for tonight, you tried on each variation, but to no avail, you weren’t satisfied. The bedroom looked like a warzone. Shirts and pants scattered along the floor, leaving little to no walking room. You couldn’t help but look forward to seeing everyone, the thought making you anxious for everyone to arrive. 

Peter was out for the night doing his nightly activities, when the clock struck eight, signaling that your friends should be here at any moment. You were still perfecting some of the drinks when you checked the clock again, eight forty-five. Your eyes furrowed in confusion as you walked over to your phone to double-check the time and also look for any ‘running late, sorry’ messages. And to your surprise, the time was correct, and no one had texted you. 

Taking a seat on the couch, you looked for the digital invite you’d sent everyone to double-check check you got the date right. Maybe I’m the wrong one? Once you found it, you took a deep breath. The date is right. 

You tried to find answers as you scrolled through social media. One of the people invited to your party posted a video of themselves dancing in a dimly lit club, the camera panned over to the rest of the group. You can feel your heart sink into your stomach as you realize that everyone you’ve invited was in that video posted five minutes ago. 

Now it’s almost midnight, and you haven’t moved besides turning on the TV and reaching for the snacks on your coffee table. Thick tears roll down your face, taking your makeup with you. You texted one of them a few hours ago, simply asking when they would arrive at your place. And of course, you didn’t receive a response. 

Too in your mind, you don’t even hear the front door open, revealing Peter quickly shoving his suit in his backpack. He was assuming that there would be other people filling in his apartment, causing him to change in the alley and rush up to meet you. A smile is on his face until he’s met with the sound of silence along with the muffled noise from whatever you are watching. 

Then his eyes land on you. Walking over he can’t see your tear-stained cheeks yet as he asks, “Where is everyone, bug?” You sniffle, before turning your head to look at him, instantly breaking down in tears. “Woah,” he instantly sits next to you on the couch, pulling you in for a hug, “tell me what happened.” His tone suddenly turns stern, as he worries.

You look up at him, your skin smudged with a thick smear of black from the mascara you delicately applied just hours before. “Th–They…never showed up,” you take a shaky breath, “everyone ditched me for something else, Pete. And n–no one told me.” 

Peter’s worry turned into anger. He was there for you through all of the planning, all of the grocery trips, and all of the outfit changes, and none of them cared to show. He knew that you needed him in this moment. You needed a warm embrace to pour your heart out. And that you did.

You sat and cried with Peter until you fell asleep, exhaustion taking over your body. When Peter felt your breathing even out beside him, he turned off the TV and carried you to your shared bedroom. Placing you down on the mattress, he walked back into the kitchen, quietly packing everything up, and cleaning the space. The last thing you needed to see tomorrow morning was the events of tonight. 

You didn’t stir until you felt a cold cloth on your face, softly wiping at your skin. “Hey, it’s okay. I’m just taking your makeup off,” he hushes, placing a delicate kiss on your forehead. You relax under him. The feeling of someone looking after you makes you melt further into the mattress. 

With Peter everything was alright, and you knew that he would be right at your side through all of it. That includes texting your friends a lengthy paragraph about the value of friendship. 

✮ author's note: oh 🎀 anon, im so sorry you had to deal with this. i've been through something like this a few years back, and it is such a shitty feeling. you don't deserve friends that will push you aside for something they think is better. friendships do not work like that. they should have communicated with you about not making it, but the fact that they just ghosted you completely and tried to cover it up??? shady as hell. i'm always here to listen!!

don't forget to like, comment, and reblog to support this if you liked it!! my asks/inbox is open, so send in requests if you'd like. ok, ily bye<333

there were other ways calypso and leo’s relationship couldve been written, in this essay i will

this isnt a hot take at all but caleo just has. so many problems. im not gonna list em but anyone who’s read hoo and toa knows

so how could it have been written better? here are my (a non writer who has shit articulation) opinions, please be nice

1. They date, then break up

this feels like a likely thing to happen bcs as we know, leo is notoriously flirty and seeking relationships and calypso falls in love REAL easily. so ofc, being stuck on an island together with no other company for like weeks on end would lead to a relationship of some kind. though i think that relationship would most likely be. unhealthy.

so yeah, theyd get together, but itd probably start showing problems very quickly as we see in TOA. but from there, i think they shouldve broken up. maybe it could be caused by an outside intervention from someone who. maybe has better experience with healthy relationships. jiper being an example, since they broke up after piper realized their relationship was basically started with lies.

once they broke up, leo could learn that romance isnt a cure all (cough rick cough) and that he doesnt need a partner to ‘fit in’. the whole seventh wheel thing was a big part of his characterization so i think unlearning that whole mess would be a good thing for him, esp since TOA had a lot of ‘growing and developing and changing’ as a theme. he could learn to define and support himself outside of his relationship with women (mommy issuesss)

calypso could also learn to support herself and have relationships with people that arent unrequited crushes, what with how her only human interaction was with random men who couldnt stay.

2. They stay as friends

Basically same character benefits as the last one, just different methods.

Leo realizes he doesnt like calypso in that way on the island during that time itself, maybe due to self reflection or something. maybe they have an intervention/impromptu therapy session or something and figure themselves out. not like they have much else to do on the island

this way, we get to see him figure out (is that the right word?) that being friends w/ women isnt automatically a gateway to romance. that its not so simple. that he can have close friends without having to date anyone (+ possible aro rep here but thats just me projecting) then from there, he can develop this further and come to terms that he doesnt need a romantic relationship to be loved etc etc

3. They stay together, but it’s established as. not good

now for this one i think its less likely since this entire thing is still sorta a kids book series and authors dont usually include these types of topics without it being resolved, but it is something to think about

caleo’s relationship in TOA felt pretty icky at least to me, so i imagine it isnt setting the best example for kids if its portrayed as normal/a good thing

in this method, their relationship could stay but just be more established as not normal and unhealthy bcs. it kinda is

anyways thats my ted talk. please dont kill me im bad at articulating

[simping4-2manyppl]

can you do like y/n's in a band (preferably like the style of TV girl but it doesn't really matter) and her band goes on tour with tokio hotel (Tom x y/n)

Tom Kaulitz 🎸

On tour ⭐️

AHH TYSMM ill def try to do my best on this and i LOVE tv girl so ofc! Enjoyyy 🤭🫶🏼

“Everyone please welcome Y/B/N to the stage!” you heard bill say, screams drowning out his voice.

You walked out with a huge smile on your face, the screams only getting louder as you stood right next to bill.

It has now been the 3rd performance that you would be doing ever since your manager told you that your band would be going on tour with one of the most popular pop rock (ik they have multiple genres but i had to pick one 😭) band groups of the year.

Although your bands style was more of an indie pop, you were still excited to say the least. You did some research on the band members before going in tour just to know how they are, and from what you saw they looked like awesome people, and you couldnt wait to go on tour with them.

While researching you did develop a small tiny crush on the bands guitarist seeing how good he was at playing, and also incredibly hot. But you did keep that to yourself, not wanting any awkwardness to happen between you two.

When you first met them you instantly became friends with all of them, although your friendship with tom was a bit flirty you didnt mind, you actually enjoyed every second of it.

“Hello everyone!” You said, smiling. “My band, Y/B/N and Tokio hotel have made a song for you guys, so here it is!” you said, gripping onto your mic a little tighter, as you got more nervous.

You backed up a bit as bill started to sing, Although you have already performed two times you still got a bit nervous as you’ve never had a big crowd like this one.

Sure you had lots of fans but combined with Tokio Hotels fans was crazy, but you just looked at tom, as he gave you a smile making you feel a bit less nervous.

Your turn was starting to come up so you walked up a bit closer to bill, starting to sing along with him.

You both smiled while singing, facing away from bill leaning on him as he leaned on you.

The nerves you felt were long gone by now as you were having fun, every little chance that you got, you looked at tom, even giving him a small wink.

You continued to sing until you and bill let out a scream, ending the song. (Ig think abt how schrei kinds ends, omg i love bills voice in that AHH)

There was screaming as you looked at your band members giggling and giving everyone a hug, once you reached tom he took you in with a smirk on his face, giving you a small peck on your cheek.

Once you got off of the stage you were blushing non stop, your band members even teasing you, calling you a tomato.

Once you were back in your own personal space, wiping off your makeup, you heard a small knock on the door.

“Come in!” You said, continuing to wipe your makeup off, then setting it down, turning to look at who was there.

“Oh! Tom.. hey!” You said, blushing. He noticed you were and walked over to you, putting his arms around your waist.

“You did amazing out there.” He said, placing a small kiss on your neck.

You laughed nervously, and whispered a small thank you.

You felt him smirk against your skin, causing you to bite your lip. You grabbed his chin, lifting it up to face you as you attached your lips onto his quickly without even thinking about it.

He moved his hands further down your waist, moving them closer to your lower back. The kids getting deeper and deeper until you were interrupted by a loud knock on the door.

“Alright you two, lets hurry up in there so we can all get dinner!” You heard from behind the door.

You blushed and placed your hands on toms shoulders, “maybe we should continue this later..” you said, letting out a small giggle.

He chuckled and nodded, removing his arms from your waist, “ill see you in a bit.” He said, winking at you and walking out.

You giggled and let out a deep sigh once the door closed, you sat down and started blushing like crazy thinking about the kiss.

Sure you have only known tom for about more than two months but you were falling for him, and the kiss was only making it worse..

HII I KNOW THIS WAS KINDA SHORT BUT I MIGHT MAKE A PART TWOOOO 🤭😏 LMK IF I SHOULDD BUT ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THISSS ILY ALL 🫶🏼

[plinthpilled]

Do you think you could write something with like an angsty/angry love confession (Sej being the one confessing) pls ? <3

yes ofc!! here you go <3

Dr Gaul had just told you and Coriolanus to get sejanus out of the arena as soon as humanly possible. she told you the cameras were cut for a brief amount of time so the two of you needed to be fast. you had been so worried about him after he stormed out of the room after seeing Marcus in such a position. neither of you hesitated and immediately went to retrieve him.

coryo alongside yourself arrived at the arena. the peacekeepers opened the gates for you and told you to be quick, which you weren't going to disobey.

the both of you could see sejanus kneeling by Marcus's corpse, surrounding him with food. you ran up to him as fast as you could without making noise. you grabbed his shoulder and saw the panic spread across his face. "oh.. it's just you. what are you guys doing here." sejanus asked. "to stop you from ending up dead." Coriolanus said bluntly. the dark haired boy sighed. "I needed to do this coryo. it's a tradition back in 2 to give the dead food to make sure they won't be hungry in the afterlife." he said, his voice slightly cracking, an indication he had been crying. "I know you just want to help, sej, but we seriously need to leave. like right now before all of us end up dead." you whisper, seeming to be the only one that cares to not wake up the tributes. "I'm just doing what coryo told me to do. go where they can see me so I can make a difference." you glare at the blonde. "sejanus, Dr Gaul cut the cameras. no one knows you're here. if you end up dead, she's just going to blame it on the flu." he says in a rush. sej sighs once again and nods. "'kay. let's get out of here." he stands up but ends up moving rubble with his feet making a loud bang. almost instantly, tributes start walking towards the three of you. "run." you whisper. they listen and start booking it. unfortunately, so do the group of kids with an insatiable bloodlust.

you get to the turnstiles and jump over them. Coriolanus follows suit. sejanus and his big stature trip and falls hard on one of his knees. he lets out a pained groan, suddenly unaware of his surroundings. fortunately, you were and used your body and a shield against a sword one of the girls had. Coriolanus grabbed sejanus and hoisted him up onto his feet then basically dragged him out of the arena. you were left to fend for yourself against a group of angry tributes with weapons, all while you had a massive gash going from your shoulder to the middle of your back. you grabbed a piece of concrete and threw it at the main girl's leg and sprinted faster than you ever have before, barely making it out before getting hurt or even dying.

from there, everything felt a little bit like a blur. you and sejanus got rushed to the hospital to make sure you were okay while Coriolanus just went home. you couldnt help but be a little bit angry at sej as he had just gotten you into a life threatening situation where the two of you were hurt, more so yourself.

once both of you arrived, you sat in silence, not daring to look at each other. you let the doctors take care of your wound, only giving them the most simple responses. they assessed the cut and decided it would need stitches. they promised to be back soon and left gauze and antibiotics on it while you waited. you had overheard what the doctors told sejanus, that he'd be perfectly fine, that his knees were just badly scraped and bruised. they said it'd be painful to walk for about a week but after that, he should be good as new. this information relieved you to no end, but you kept in inside, still upset with the boy. you felt him staring at you but made no effort to look back until he started speaking.

"hey.. um. I'm so sorry. I never meant for any of this to happen. if I had known it would've gotten more people than myself hurt I never would have went in that arena." he spoke quietly and you could sense that he was being sincere. "well.. it happened anyways." you responded, the words coming off meaner than you had intended judging by the hurt look in his eye. "I know, I'm sorr-" he tried speaking. "no sejanus, you don't understand. all of us could have died there. both of us ended up getting hurt. I know Marcus meant a lot to you but to do something this *stupid* is just unbelievable." you cut him off. you see him tearing up and immediately feel guilty about what you said, knowing you were way too harsh. "you don't understand. you weren't born district. you never had to deal with the bullying. you were born and raised capitol. Marcus was a classmate and a friend to me and to see him strung up, half dead, broke something inside of me." he raised his voice. "sej I didn't mean it like tha-" he cut you off. "but it sounded like it. I'm so serious when I say that I didn't mean to ever get you or coryo in any kind of danger. if someone was going to get hurt or die, I wanted it to be me." he spoke, tears slowly streaming down his face. "sejanus... I know my apology probably means nothing but I really am sorry. also, no one would want you to be dead, okay?" you say. "that's not what other people say. they seem to think everything would be better if I was dead. I'm just a district boy that ruins the prestigious atmosphere of the capitol." the tears get heavier and look to be never ending. it makes your eyes water seeing him like this. "that's not true and you know it! they're all just stuck up assholes who have nothing better to do with their lives than to hate on actually good and kind people." you speak, probably way too loud for this hospital setting. "why do you even care? it's not like you even like me anyways!" you can't help but stare in disbelief. "what are you talking about? you're my best friend!" he scoffs at that. "yeah.. friends." he looks you in the eye, no longer crying. confusion is plastered across your expression. "y/n I have been head over heels in love with you ever since we first met. I have never taken my eyes off of you yet you don't seem to notice, or even care for that matter. I just can't take it anymore. I couldn't let the weight on my chest suffocate me for any longer." he turns away from you.

you are at an utter loss for words. he takes your silence for a no and starts to get up. before he could even stand you grab his arm. he looks at you, clear he doesn't understand why you're doing this. "sejanus plinth, I love you too. I'm sorry if it seems like I don't but I promise you that I do. with everything in my being I adore you. I care about you more than anyone else in the entire world. I'm sorry I got so upset at you today, the fear of something bad happening to you kinda manifested as anger and I'm so fuckin' sorry I took it out on you." you look down at your feet. after a few moments of silence you figured you had said something wrong, but it turns out he was awestruck, just as you had been less than a minute ago. you meet his gaze once again. "can i- can I kiss you?" he asks in a hushed tone, drenched with love and also uncertainty. you smile at him and cup his cheeks with your hands. "I thought you'd never ask." he leans into you, pressing his lips against yours. it was a small kiss but it would be good enough for right now. once you two broke apart, a flush arised on your face. "thank you for saving me. " he said. you grin at him. "I would do it over and over again for you, sejanus."

[conanssummerchild]

the other day i was wondering about how it would go if rick sanchez and abed nadir interacted bcs theyre my fav guys ever but i couldnt actually imagine them ever interacting and then i accidentally came up with a whole fuck ton of headcanons about what would happen if rick started visiting the study group regularly (also featuring morty :3) so i figured i might as well post them idk

(rickortys dni)

idk what rick is doing in the commumity dimension and why btw, he's just there

the hc abt rick and abed having a conversation was just like rick going on and on about some insane adventure he went on and just overall saying wild stuff and abed listening, genuinely interested, but thinking "this guy makes jeff seem well-adjusted"

at first rick always goes alone but he talks about morty all the time and the adventures they go on but he never elaborates about who morty is so everyone just assumes he's a friend of ricks and one day rick finally introduces them to him and its literally a teenage boy and his grandson lol. everyone is confused

shirley probably hates rick sm at first

morty and britta talking abt politics or ethics or smth like that :3

i imagine rick saying the f slur or smth and the family friendly sitcom study group is flabbergasted while morty is sweating bullets apologising for him lol

rick almost immediately asks if troy and abed are fucking

one time chang tried to hug rick (even though they barely knew each other, i just feel like thats something he'd do) and rick's first instinct was to pull a gun out on him and after that chang kept begging him to make him one of those guns too (he didn't)

britta tries to therapise him but eventually rick scares her off by saying something insane or "way out of her league diagnostically" as she said once and she never tries again

rick and jeff having a drink-off (rick wins)

troy alternates between thinking rick is cool and funny and being a little afraid of him

morty and troy get along and morty thinks abed is cool

morty's favourite is anne because he thinks shes so cool and smart and pretty (think like the person you looked up to as a kid, thats how morty thinks of annie) and she lets him act like a kid and doesnt put any unfair insane expectations on him (*cough* rick) because she knows what that feels like

annie dislikes rick but she keeps slipping fliers for AA into his pockets and rick is confused and incredibly annoyed whenever he finds them

rick thinks chang is weird af but finds it funny, especially bcs hes like the main antagonist of the study group and hes just some guy

rick is probably kinda mean to the dean :(

rick saying something in spanish and no one in the ex spanish study group has any idea what hes saying (they did not learn a thing)

rick thinks its kinda cool that jeff faked his degree, but he wont admit it ofc

morty loves apartment 303

annie eventually warms up to rick because he's less grumpy and rude once you get to know him and they become kiiiinda friends (but shes still a little wary of him)

rick, morty, troy, abed and annie playing minecraft together :3

shirley also eventually warms up to rick and acts like a stern parent (even though rick is almost double her age 💀) and rick pretends to hate it but he doesnt (he didnt get loved enough by his parents as a kid)

rick calls pierce the jerry of the group

abed always listens to rick infodump

abed and rick talking about alternate timelines/dimensions together

one time he fell asleep on the sofa at apartment 303 and while he was asleep annie washed his labcoat bcs its probably grimy af and rick freaked out on her and didn't visit their dimension again for a month

morty loves shirley because shes is always so nice to him and gives him baked goods bcs she thinks hes the sweetest kid ever (he is). he always defends her when rick calls her lame

ok thats it, i usually lowkey hate crossovers but here i am. doing a crossover

also ive always been scared of posting headcannons in case someone is like "FUCK YOU these headcannons are the WORST you have no understanding of these characters you dumb faggot" so erm im scared :3 bye

[youremyheaven]

https://www.tumblr.com/youremyheaven/763022039299866624/im-convinced-that-all-the-girls-dating-rat-looking

I AGREE I AGREE GODDDD I AGREE SO BADLY

nevermind looks— i could personally fall for almost anyone’s looks because imo if i am attracted enough to a person, i in turn find their PHYSICAL self attractive too, even if it isn’t what i would immediately list as an “ideal” type

i hate when people say oh hes so cool, im attracted to him because of his taste in this and that and his cool music taste, film taste, and whatever. and just that. like what about kindness and gentleness and the way they speak to you or address your issues??

like once youre dating i think its okay to say oh i like my partner’s taste in x and y but to say that you’re fully and WHOLLY attracted to someone only because of that is insane to me. for your only measure of attractiveness in a person to be their taste and style is actually crazy.

i might never listen to classical music but i could 100% date someone who only listens to that provided that i like their character and personality and the way they treat me.

ive just been thinking alot recently about what i would actually want in a relationship and this also recently irritated me a little because of something my friend said so 😶😶

okay but also honest question, because i recently discovered this about myself. i realised something that is insanely important to me in a relationship is that my partner trusts me. which ofc sounds basic, but as someone who is psychic and always has premonition dreams/accurate gut feelings/blatant episodes of zoning out and seeing/hearing things that end up to be true, i need someone who won’t instantly dismiss my feelings about things like that. ive had an instance where i cancelled events 10 minutes before only for there to be a news headline a few hours later about a near fatal accident on the road i was about to take, or even just moving away from someone on the bus only to see the news THREE whole years later about the fact that that person was a certified pedo/molestor (this was when i was still underaged and in school)

i think even if my feelings seem wild at times or insane i need someone who would validate it because i would never bring it up unless unbelievably necessary. and even if nothing horrible happens i just need that faith in me yk? i may have an anxiety disorder but despite that, and even if my other person isnt spiritual or whatever i need them to just understand and just not do a certain things if i desperately bring it up

id never abuse that power but yk? i needed to ask if you felt the same way because i have no one else to talk to about this

- mother anon

GIRLLLL

the looks part and the taste part were two separate thoughts but i just felt like posting them together 🤐

i 100% agree that its possible to be attracted to just about anyone regardless of what they look like BUT i hate the current trend of girls obsessing over rat looking men

like ALL of these dudes are shady asf and known for being assholes. so its not like their personality is so exemplary that their looks are justified 💀💀

i genuinely 100% don't believe that relationships work unless both people are physically in the same "range" or one person is like a high average and the other person is absolutely stunning. i know i probably sound superficial asf BUT I PROMISE YALL, issues WILL creep up and eventually being mismatched WILL cause tension. no man will ever date someone beneath them but women always go for nasty rodent looking men bc they think those dudes will make more of an effort or appreciate them more 💀and these dudes are often WAYYY worse than the chad guy

now about style & taste:

i think its very middle school-y to be attracted to someone based on their fav band or sneaker collection or whatever tf ,,like i genuinely couldnt give less of a fck about that shit.

whenever i meet a guy, the FIRST thing i look for is how chivalrous he is.

and the girls who say they dont care about "chivalry" bc their independent girlbosses are missing out bc fun fact if ur man isn't taking care of u or being a gentleman, he DOES NOT GAF ABOUT U. if ur 2 buddies hanging out, he will treat u the way he treats his homies :/ so if u want to be toughened out like a pal, then u go sis

he better be opening every door, holding my bag/offering to, trying to make me feel comfortable in whatever way he can, giving me napkins, passing me things, paying the bill, bringing me flowers, just being very socially conscious (???) of having a woman around. i remember the first night my bf and i were hanging out, we went to get ice cream for me 🥺and it was past 1 am and he asked me if i wanted to stay there and have it or have it in the car

(for context: i live in india and night life is not much a thing here, this ice cream parlour was the only one open in the area and the crowd was entirely male and they were all staring at me)

and i said i'll have it in the car 🥺🥺like ive been on dates with men who dont pay attention to this kinda stuff. i get catcalled and they dont notice. someone gives me nasty looks and they do nothing. what made me like my now bf right away was how protective he was of me and i know that its how he would treat ANY woman in that situation.

i dont really share my spiritual/astro side with many people. most ppl close to me are aware of it to some extent but in different capacities. some ppl think its more of an intellectual interest bc ive studied buddhism, taoism etc practice yoga (practicing yoga is very common in India bc its literally an Indian thing) and ive never really sought acceptance or understanding of this sort from a romantic partner although 2/4 of my bfs have known that i do tarot and astrology etc

my current partner is an agnostic-atheist and he's spooked out by all the "witchiness" but at the same time, he's really excited about it and brags to people that he's dating a "witch" 😭😭😭🤣

i havent had experiences of the kind you're describing in recent memory but if it were to happen id like for my person to believe me and respect it 🥺

i think there is a cultural difference between us regarding this because what you've described as having visions or gut feelings or being intuitive is veryyyy culturally accepted in India and nobody will bat an eye about it. so its not as isolating or confusing as trying to explain to a bunch of westerners that you "have a bad feeling" regarding something.

[polyamorouspunk]

hi pp

ive been following your blog for a long time, probably initially from a long time ago where id just follow anyone with polyam in their name

i finally moved in with my partner this year, my most favorite person ever. ive known them since 2017.

i still miss people i missed out on knowing though. we were dating this other person all the way up until we moved in together, because they said they couldnt handle being separate from us when we do and that the relationship wouldnt be healthy for them if they kept dating us. until that moment we were very happy and talked all the time and told eachother almost everything.

we understood ofc. these things happen and sometimes your relationships with people just reach an expiration date.

but about a week after that, they sought out some ex friends who spread rumors about me and my partner. we had told them about these people, the harm they did, how much their words hurt and scared us and made it difficult to interact in online communities.

these people talk about wanting us dead. they spread private information we told them. and it hurt a lot to see someone we trusted so much go and seek them out after they were done with us. it made us have to explain past situations to people so they wouldnt cut us off, like opening old wounds.

those ex friends are also people we were once really close with. the lies they spread and the info they push about us isnt cute or light lies or something we can easily ignore either, its literally stuff about hurting minors and abusing people.

and i miss them so so much. all of these people used to mean so much to me and be such big parts of my life. i used to imagine where we would be as adults, living near eachother or visiting and hanging out. i miss them every time i think about how much they hurt me or when they get brought up randomly.

everything happened with them so fast and so out of nowhere. there wasnt much build up of tension, just a sudden explosion.

i miss them and i really wish i didnt because they hurt me and my partner so badly. their actions make it difficult for me to form new connections with people and i havent had a close friend outside my partner since we moved in because relationships are so terrifying for me now.

its happened again and again and i am sure that im part of the problem. this has been happening forever. do i attract bad people? do i seek out bad people? do i bring out the worst in people? am i a bad person?

i hope this doesnt sound like a ton of whining. me and my partner are very happy together and im very thankful for what we have.

do you have any advice about learning to stop missing and grieving people who hurt you?

There’s a lot to unpack here.

First off I do just want to say I’m sorry. Losing a partner is never easy, even if it’s the best thing for those involved.

And I want to say I’m sorry that you have people actively spreading rumors about you.

Someone I’m friends with recently went through something like this. Someone in the scene argued that what was a consensual act, because my friend encouraged them to drink, basically became coercion and rape. The rumors got so out of hand that they became unreasonable, and quite honestly misdirected a lot of the attention from the original story, taking away a lot of its credibility, which feels unfair to the person who made these claims. She shouldn’t have been overshadowed by people making ridiculous rumors to just pile on to the person she was accusing.

At the end of the day everyone else I’m friends with chose to stand by my friend, so if they are all standing by this person I’m going to also. But it was messy. DMing behind closed doors, he-said-she-said, laughing about the whole thing and making jokes in the group chat… it was a pretty fucked up time, and maybe part of the reason I’m not really looking to go back to all those people as a collective. I think the whole group together can feed off each other’s toxic energy and manifest scenarios that literally cannot be true, even if the individuals themselves are somewhat decent people.

That’s what groups do. They feed off the energy within. So if there’s negative energy in that group where spreading rumors and lies about you and your partner is the norm, that’s going to continue to fester as people feed it.

You can’t just shut your feelings off for someone a good majority of the time. I’ve found that even when I hate someone’s guts, it fades, and in the back of my mind I always have mixed feelings about everything.

It’d be so easy for me to say that I’d tear my bitch of an ex to shreds if I run into her somewhere. But the reality is I would be sad and cordial. Because I’m really not looking to start shit. What’s dead should stay dead.

In fact, I’ve had someone basically call me a psycho and say they never want to see me again outside of our chance runins… and then every time I’ve seen them since put on that same fake facade to the point I’d actually consider us “friends” again… even though I’ve seen the real her. I’ve seen her mask slip and her point to literally just who I am as a person (dark jokes, horror fan, person with BPD) and turn it into “future serial killer creeper girl”. But on the outside she parades herself like the rest of us: passionate about mental health struggles, queer, abuse survivor, etc. And yet, I’m glad that I’m on good terms with her again. Because it’s so much easier in reality to just get along with her than it was to hate her.

You think you wanna hate someone. You think you want them to burn in hell. And you know what? If they’re still ACTIVELY spreading rumors about you, then yeah, you should. But as soon as they stop being such a tangible threat then you let your guard down.

When I was casually seeing the guy I was seeing, it was so up and down, good and bad. When I finally cut him off it felt so good. But then of course I told myself “it wasn’t that bad”. Like I had over exaggerated all the bad stuff. Like I had just made it out to be more than it was. Like maybe I should unblock him and text him some time. See how he is. Why? That’s stupid. I know it is. But that’s the feeling that people get when they go back to toxic partners or previous partners. Diminishing the bad and telling themselves “it wasn’t that bad”. It’s almost addicting.

Recently I’ve been missing my main ex, the one I dated for 6 years, the one who I had been building a life with. More and more I’ve thought about reaching out. Just to be friends.

Here’s the secret to getting over grieving people who have hurt you: you don’t. You go through phases of missing them. You go through phases of hating them. You feel both. You recognize each of them. And you don’t contact them. Not to tell them you hate them. Not to tell them you miss them. The pain never really goes away. And at some point it stops getting smaller and sits at the same size. You’ll miss someone in 5 years just as much as you’ll miss them next year.

It hurts losing your partner like this right now. It hurts having people you used to be close with actively harming you right now. It’s going to hurt a lot more now. And once it stops it will still hurt. But over time it will hurt less and less until it levels out and it becomes a pain that while it comes around every once in a while, it’s small enough to handle, even if it’s not getting smaller and it’s not going away. Idk. Maybe in 10 years it’ll be less painful. But I’m not holding my breath. I’m learning to live with it.

sex work depiction anon here! i have a couple of things to say

1. this was honestly GREAT adivce! especially the part where you highlighted "the people who are forced are sex trafficking victims". you worded my thoughts in a way i couldnt possibly think about myself. my original idea was reader starts doing sex work so she can pay for college and then ends up liking it, but idk, it felt so... shallow??? this is why i think the best way to research for writing is talking and asking people who deal with that reality in a daily basis. anyway...

2. the champagne carpet thing is genius! this is the kind of thing you can only figure out when talking to people, this is why I like to do it so much. you don't find this kind of thing on google!!!

3. i think you are a writing goddess and your offer to beta my work had me MELTING on the chair at my work. i feel SO FUCKING FLATTERED, too bad it is not for mob psycho nor gf. just know you made my day just with this offer

4. i did not intend to write a gravity falls fanfic but DAMN i really wanna stral your idea and write a fic for stan where he tries to trick reader into quitting this job and live with him (but he falls short, ofc) BUT I'M NOT FUNNY ENOUGH. god im not nearly as talented as i need to be to pull this off 😭

thank you so much for your time and for caring so much about my ask. once i develop the plot a bit more i'll definitely come back and ask you a couple more things (if you dont mind, of course). it means the world to me, truly

No problem dude!

I mean, choosing to get into sex work to pay for college and then liking is actually really common! I don't think that's a bad motivation at all. I know lots of people who have done similar, or who have wanted to do further study (Masters, PhD etc) and used sex work to finance that. I think it would be weird if it was like a 'debt sharks are knocking on my door and I have no other choice' kind of thing, because then that leans into more of the 'being forced' vein, if that makes sense?

Yeah the champers carpets were great lol truthfully a real Moment for science. I still don't even know if it really works, but management told me that was the case and they didn't ever smell boozy or anything so who knows.

Ahhhh thank you haha! If you do write the Stan one then please feel free to let me know, I'd love to help! I'm sure you'd do wonders with it! Dialogue is hard to get down sometimes, though, I feel you on that. If you'd like a good movie/series of scenes to get an idea on how a convo like that might take place (or really how any creep/Captain talks to a stripper), check out Closer (2004). It has Natalie Portman in it and she plays a dancer who has lots of interactions in those kinds of themes. It might be of use! I forgot to mention it in the initial ask, sorry lol.

And no problem at all. Thanks for asking it, honestly. I really appreciate you caring enough to want to give good representation. That doesn't happen very often at all so it means a lot! Feel free to hit me up any time :) <3

I hate it when smut isn't tagged or like warned of. Like when people recommend books as if they're cute lil stories about whatever minor detail they like most and don't even mention it (especially with dark romance). And once I was on ao3 and I filtered out all the mature/explicit fics and picked on a random 1 chapter fic that didn't have any vaguely sexual tags and it still had smut in it

And the rlly long example I'm giving that happened like a month ago - My friend's trying to get me to read a book that's written really shittily and she keeps showing me scenes she likes and like I'm totally fine with that but then she went "oh this scene's cute!" And I started reading and suddenly this injured dude gets sucked dry in his shower

And I don't care about reading smut (and I've read so much worse) but I hate it when there's no warning yk.

Like I didn't know the book had smut and I'd never talked about it with her so I was just sat there awkwardly reading through reading the tale of this man getting his tinky winky sucked on while she sat and waited for me to finish and hand the book back

Like she literally said "you can tell they like eachother here" His mouth is full of his rocket launcher ofc they like eachother??

She had shown me so many scenes at this point too, I was expecting it to be one of the pages where they kissed or smth but nope just that guy getting a mouthful of his fucking soggy carrot

A lil drawing to show y'all what I'm talking about, picture 3 lasted a good 5 minutes

I was shook to my core and like I couldnt care less about smut and it wasnt even that graphic but why would you just say "this is cute, they like eachother" ?? Why would you NOT say anything???

In conclusion - pls tell people if they're about to read about someone getting their needle threaded, literally just a "there's a kinda sexual part btw" would be so appreciated

ill elaborate on this over the day i think but im very mixed on what i think about the w.i.t.c.h. reboot but uh. its mostly negative

first off, this is partially coming from a place of im just a fan of the comic and already didnt care for the tv show.

i mean... i liked the show as a kid because it was what got me into the series, but once i picked up the comics i knew it had my heart and it couldnt compare. (its very similar to how i felt about fma03 > going into the manga after)

but anyway, i think the reboot is of all things, just disney being lazy in making new ips of course. if theyre doing a full rework of the plot, characters, and costumes, why not just make a new magical girl comic? oh because of the obvious theyve been testing the popularity of the comic by rereleasing it over the past couple years, and now the ip is recognized enough again that they can use it to their advantage. definitely in the wake of winx getting their reboot (which i also think is unnecessary but i think the circumstances may have been different. which leads me to..)

i worry about what theyre going to do with the story in general. if its anything like the later half of the comic (ie new power onward) iiiiiii dont know if we need that. i personally dont think that was the strongest era of the story. it, unsurprisingly, came off as an attempt to haha... copy the winx by doing power upgrades and becoming even more glittery and pink and what i would call a typical "girls piece of media"

ofc side note nothing bad with that but again leading into another point

heh.. the treatment of the original team. its early and i dont quite remember all of the details but i do know that they were done dirty. I know for sure it involved barbucci and canepa, unsure if gnone was involved as well, but disney took that series from them. as far as i know, that series was their baby and disney plucked it apart into something they never intended it to be. barbucci and canepa haved regularly talked about their dislike of disney and their personal beef with them as a direct result of what happened with w.i.t.c.h.

it was their dark fantasy series that disney wanted to girlie-pop-ify to most likely have it compete with winx directly. completely going against what the team envisioned leading to their ? departure from disney. im personally not quite sure if they quit on their own or if disney fired them to make room for a more cooperative team but Still. the point still stands: disney is shitty in this situation

so just from the inital description and seeing will's transformed resign, it looks like... it will most likely go in the direction of being a direct winx competitor again and will continue to take the story in a completely different direction than it was originally intended to be. some part of me hopes tho that because will looks like an edgy hot topic kid that maaaaaybe theyll have some darker tone to it but uh.... again disneys reputation makes me think that wont happen lmao

if they really cared enough they would literally be like sorry og team, here do what u wanted. because uh. at least barbucci and canepa still regulary post about w.i.t.c.h. and share fanart and stuff so theyre still interested imo (again i havent followed up with gnone over the years but im sure she'd be on board)

i reaaaaally want to know if they even knew their series was gonna be rebooted like this or i guess however it ends up being. god i would do anything to read the nda they signed when splitting with disney.

but eh i also hope its good just for the sake it wooooould be cool to have new w.i.t.c.h. content (again sad its not like a comic accurate tv adaptation or like... the og teams work) buuuuuut this is suuuuch a comfort series to me so i wanna hope for the best

my nostalgia is probably ruining it for me and the fact ill already rant about how i hate the cartoon adaptation now dkdbksbf but eh i wanted to just dump my thoughts before starting my work day

pucci first impressions ofc

MAN. thank you but the beast is unleashed.

First impressions:

wow dios bestie! alot of people whos jojo opinions i respect like him i cant wait to see what kind of a freak he is as a villain LOL

Impression now:

well. what could i even say. at this point.

favourite moment:

i loved him going insane from guilt and grief and devoting his entire life to the pursuit of a world where the kind of trauma and horror he and his loved ones went through can never happen again and in the process of that quest becoming a cruel and horrible person who lives ultimately a miserable and small existance. all because he got groomed by an evil vampire to think that murder was the way to get to heaven actually and so he became deeply entranced by that delusion and the comfort it brought to the point where he couldnt even consider that maybe he was doing something horribly selfish and destructive to himself and others. smileeee. also second favourite moment is ”frogs on my 800 dollar pants?” and third favourite is smiling excitedly as his arm gets torn off and he presumably gets cannibalized by a baby (made me realize that he is actually nuts)

idea for a story:

what did he get up to in between dios death and the start of stocean? like collecting stands and watching over weather while driving himself further and further into darkness. its so sad and fucked up to think about to me. also second story idea would be him and kakyoin meeting as insane evil teens in the vampire mansion and having a weird ”friendship” lol

unpopular opinion:

this isnt unpopular in MY circles. but um. hes the main villain of his part and arguably the most complex villain character in jojo, even if one could argue villains like kira are better executed. so its a bit cringe and annoying to me when people reduce him to just an acessory to dio LOL. like he is his own character and a far more interesting one than dio with motivations and character drives completely separate from him so ummmmmmmm whyyyys that blond thing always there. hm? you have to wonder why and you especially have to ask why do people keep postioning him as dios servant or ”follower” instead of his actual role as a student and friend. hm.

favourite relationship:

i do however like dios and puccis fucked up evil bestfriendship because. its fucked up but also funny. HOWEVER. PUCCI SIBLINGS FOREVER. like theres no comparison to whatever him and weather have going on omg. perla also. but like that relationship just perfectly sums up his character doesnt it. like he accidentally causes the destruction of wes’ whole life so he steals his memories to survive and to stop wes from killing everyone and its cruel (even if more understandable bc. traumatized children) and fucked up. but then he keeps wes alive and watches over him for decades and keeps him close and safe because he genuinely does wish that things could be different. he cares. all with out ever considering how cruel even THAT is. but once wes gets his memories back and becomes an unignorable threath he doesnt hesistate to kill him. so so so fucked up what the hell

favourite headcanon:

king of autism swag i believe. hyperfixation on jesus to hyperfixation on murder and lying and manipulating pipeline

Bad boy joshua

You and joshua got partnered by you prof for a project. You definitly are not happy with that cuz he doesnt have a good reputation and you know (you think you do at least) that he will dump all the work to you to go and fuck around with his friends.

You couldnt be more wrong. He didnt believe in love at first sight but things happen when you least expect them to so he just straith up fell in love with you while you were meeting up for your project for the first time.

You were distant at first so he thought he could win you over if he just flirted with you shamelessly but you didnt budge. You refused to humor him by pushing back, instead this got you to distant yourself even more so he decided to try to make you jealous instead. This idea came from jeonghan (one of his bestfriends) and he should have known it wouldnt work but he also didnt have a better idea.

After so many attempts of making you jealous by "accidently" sending you photos of him getting ready to go on a date (that didnt even exist) and saying this was meant for either the boys to ask them about their opinions or his date to let her know that he was ready to go get her

This, obviously, didnt work. Why would you care if the infamous bad boy of the campus sent you some mouthwatering photos of him all dressed up? You couldnt deny that you found him attractive but that was it, you couldnt like him because this would only leave you in a hearth break.

This continuoud until one night he called you. Just from the music that blasted in the background it was clear that he was in a party and when he talked with slurred words you got that he was drunk as fuck

It took you a bit to put a meaning to his words with how sleepy you were and how hard it was to figure out his words but once you got them your eyes grew as big as they could

Did he just confessed to you?

(leaving the rest to you)

you are actually wild for this. bad boy!shua has me in a chokehold omfg.

feel like he’d confess to you and tell you how much he likes you and every single thing he likes about you. strangely his words awaken smth in u despite knowing that they prob don’t really mean anything. still, you can’t stop thinking about it.

shua will be kind of embarrassed abt his drunken ramblings, but he doesn’t take his words back. in fact, he’s more determined than ever to prove to you that his words are sincere. he’ll spend all his free time with you and actually show the real side of him which you admittedly grow vv fond of.

so when he confesses to you again you can’t really deny him, esp with how nervous and flustered he looks.

ofc you two spend the night together w josh just worshipping you the entire time 🫠

[penguin--person]

i want to ask abt milgram but i dont have any knowledge so

what are three to five things youd change abt it if you could

hee thank ou dude!!! love u dude thank you dude

well, first is the obvious !! prisoner number nine, mikoto .. his whole character just. sucks. for reasons that have already been said many times, and i dont think i could bring anything new or meaningful to that table. but. his character is just harmful n sucks !! n, ofc, i dont have did but its clear it sucks . begone, prisoner number nine

other than that,, all the other icky things about it could be like . explained that theyre that way to keep the audience on their toes or something like that. like, they could all be explained with symbolism - like prisoner number two, yuno's murder(s) being abortions. which, theyre heavily considered murders by lots of people, so its like. could just be the. the. man my heads empty rn. but, milgram has a lot of 'your comments affect the characters a lot your words can affect them' stuff, yea? so, it could just be that because its considered murders . like, sure, its a bit icky, but it cn be explained with symbolism. i do think yuno is cool tho i like her:3 has bg vibes sorry to say. and, also, mahiru and kazui consider their 'murders' murders, even tho i'd dare to argue neither of them actually killed anyone. mahiru was in a codependent relationship and just couldnt save her bf. thats nothing to blame her for.

this isnt about milgram itself but id change the fandom to think about what it says sometimes!!! "oh if mahiru was a guy shed be voted guilty" my guy she literally was. thats a pretty significant thing that happened. she got voted guilty. and, no, if she was a guy, people would defend him for being hot and stuff!!! like they do with kazui!!! 'ohh she made her bf end his own life' yea well what did kazui do. mhm? care to tell me what His murder is? huh??? same as mahiru, but he wasnt mentally ill or anything about it, . his murder is pretty vague, but, from what i can tell, he just. i dont know he spent time with other women that werent his wife without actually cheating on her but also wasnt close with his wife at all. i dont know. and im not saying hes a murderer either, theres not enough info for me to even think about that, but luckily once his t2 song comes out it'll clear up some stuff. but, like. man. 'ohh if she was a guy people would be voting her guilty' shut up you know thats not correct. anyway i'd give the fandom the ability to think before they speak. this goes for me too btw i wanna get some better thinking skills

now let me be a hater for a second. i dont like shidou i think they should haev made him weirder!!! the guy harvested organs from many many people while they were still alive and killed so many people!! has the highest killcount out of the whole milgram group i think, or , is in the top 3 at least !! like. .like. hes just like, sad about it, and even then, hes not even THAT sad!!! hes jstli like. its just like. he killed so many people and its just FINE because hes SAD about it??? since when does that .fucking. mahiru is sad about her love dying!!! and she was voted guilty, and she didnt even intend to kill him - shidou knew very well what he was doing and still did it! he knew so well that those people would die, and i think that he even knew that his family wouldn't make it! that they'd still die even if he did it! hes a fucking surgeon for fucks sake, he had to have known, and he STILL did it!!! and hes not even weird about it!!!! hes not even fucking weird about it!!! hes just calm and proper and silent ad fukcigngg i think he should be sobbing wailing and screaming the whole time wailing at es begging so loud for the death penalty that mu and mahiru heard him from their cells!!! he should have been, fucking, weird about it!!!!

i think milgram should get weirder overall, actually. i think the characters should get weirder. like, i think many of them should be inconsolable, at least in the first trial,. i think they should get weirder... or Something... i think es should get weirder, too..

[lunatic-fandom-space]

Im about to watch RWBY Volume 9 because I need some background noise while I translate a german version of Jesus Christ Superstar and then I remembered that I watched that RWBY DC crossover a few days ago as background noise while I made my lyric videos and then I wanted to make a post about my thoughts but then I just. never did. So I might as well do it now

Before that though, I feel the need to explain myself and my lyric-video-translation process. Basically, what I do is I pick my song that Id like to translate from german to english and then I make what is essentially a normal lyric video, which involves a lot of me listening to the song a bunch of times so I can make sure everything is properly synched up, in this particular case I actually had to listen to the entirety of the song in order to make sure it was actually synched because something went horribly wrong with my editing app and I couldnt figure out how to fix it. And then once Im done with my lyric video I can just kinda turn the audio off and add my english translation without worrying about anything because Ive already synched everything up properly. When I do musical soundtracks like this I usually synch up all the lyrics for all the songs first before getting to the actual translation process, which means theres a long period of time where Im just kinda listening to the same part over and over, except worse and it took me even longer this time because again, something went wrong and I had to listen to the songs from the beginning, otherwise it just inexplicably wouldnt synch up, and because I have a low attention span Im usually watching youtube videos or movies Ive already seen at this point

Now, I was still in the lyric video stage when I watched this movie (I was doing Pilate and Christ if youre curious) so picture this: im sitting in front of my computer, I have this RWBY DC crossover open in some piracy site bc I was looking for A Movie and this one came out recently so it was on the front page, I have my tablet with the lyric video Im about to make in front of me, Im wearing headphones, one of them isnt actually on my ear because I need to be able to hear both the song and the movie at the same time, Im playing the song over and over again as I watch the movie, slowly zoning out entirely the further I get into it because thats just kinda what happens when youre forced to listen to the same first two minutes of a song even when you do have some background noise to break up the monotony a little

The reason Im giving you that long winded explanation of the boring shit I do for fun is because I want to stress to you that I was practically physically incapable of properly paying attention to anything. So you would think that I would also be incapable of finding shit to criticize or complain about, after all, I barely managed to watch the movie

And you would be very wrong. Im gonna be honest I just wrote that long intro to whatever this is in like 20 minutes and Ive already run out of steam so please enjoy this bullet point list of mostly shit I didnt like about this crossover, as someone who doesnt know anything about DC and also didnt pay a lot of attention just in general

The Justice Leagues semblances were so bad you can tell they just kinda took their existing superpowers, barely if at all modified them and went "yep, those are semblences alright" and as a result Superman, Wonderwoman and Green Lantern all basically have the same semblance, which inexplicably consists of multiple unrelated abilities and also Vixen's semblance seems pretty similar to theirs as well

The dialogue was so awkward man, I know some stan is gonna try and defend it by being like "well none of these people know each other ofc theyre gonna be awkward" guess what, i dont care if you can like stuff about this show for no reason I can dislike stuff about this show for no reason

That weird love triangle between Nora, Ren and Cyborg was so weird and unnecessary and idk why it was there

'Weird, unecessary and idk why it was there' is honestly a great way to describe this whole movie, I dont get why they did this Isekai thing with the Justice League I feel like this wouldve been better if they were already just characters in RWBY's world but I guess then neither continuity would be able to really consider it canon which would be bad I guess??? Idk i think this crossover thing was a bad idea tbh and they shouldve made it more of a cross-promotional thing where its like "lookat the RWBYfied versions of these DC characters!!" "oooooo look at the DCified versions of these RWBY characters!!" for one movie each if you know what I mean

Speaking of pointless romance, I saw some people say that they didnt like the weird romantic subplot between Bruce and Weiss but honestly, I didnt even see one there they had less romantic sparks flying between them than Bumbleby and thats saying a lot, not that I was paying too much attention

Ive seen some DC fans say that Bruce's thing about him maybe not wanting to leave Remnant because hes got powers there was really out of character and idk anything about that, I just know that that whole thing was pointless and barely set up and didnt mean anything at all for anyone

Ruby's arc about learning to be a better team leader is something that she shouldve had in like volume 4 max this is too late into the show for the Main Character whos been leading A Team since basically day one to learn how to do it, then again its not like shes gotten any meaningful screentime in the past 9 years so maybe that justifies it

Killgore or Killg%re or whatever was just cringe

When Killgore was explaining his plan and how he was working with someone and then it turned out that he was actually trapped in this VR world by that someone, I thought, oh its probably Salem given that shes yknow, the main villain. I mean, it doesnt really make sense why she would do all this shit but its not like her motivations and actions have ever been consistent right. And then he was like "he" and I went, its fucking Ironwood?? Are you joking?? Like, yeah, I'll give them a smidge of credit here, that does make more sense but I hate how these guys' weird desire to demonize Some Guy gets in the way of even attempting to make The Actual Main Villain even remotely threatening. Someone tell MKEK that sidelining a female character in favor of a male character isnt suddenly less sexist because shes Satan Herself but they wanna villanize the "shitty white guy" instead

The action scenes were decent enough, obviously nowhere near the level of Volume 1-3s fightscenes but Ive definitely seen worse from RWBY at this point

I guess the mystery aspect was fine too I was atleast kinda intrigued

And to end this whole thing on a somewhat positive note, heres some stuff I actually kinda liked:

While the isekai thing honestly doesnt seem like a good idea, it was still kinda fun watching people from a setting more similar to our world interact with Remnant and try to blend in even though they had no idea what was going on

I kinda liked Barry, he was pretty fun

I really liked Jessica, her finding that ring and saying that rhyming incantation actually gave me goosebumps, her VA was really good. I just wish she didnt spend all her screentime with Jaune and also I wish Jaune died already

I liked that they were wearing their Beacon Era outfits for most of it so I didnt have to endure their absolutely horrendous Atlas outfits although I am about to watch Volume 9 and they dont get an outfit change from what Ive seen so. You cant run from your problems forever I guess

Thats about it, but to bring this thing full circle Id like to once again elaborate on my lyric video translation stuff. Right now Im fully done with the lyric videos and all I gotta do is add in the english translations which I can do without needing to listen to the music, which means I can actually listen to the dialogue at the very least even if Im not properly looking at the screen. I was originally gonna do the same thing with Volume 9 as the crossover movie which is to say, blast music while watching and fully zoning out half the time but I figured the actual volume deserves a little more respect than that. I mean, thats still not a lot but RT isnt getting any more than this from me
