#ohh they're gonna be tragic

[heymeowmao]

The Journey of Chong Zi (重紫) E5 ° Your life belongs to me.

[perotovar]

hey sweeties!! kel and i put a list together of all the submissions we got for our event and split them into two masterlists of fics for you all to read and enjoy! this is my part of the list, so if you don't see yours give @beskarandblasters 's list >here< a look and see if that's where your fic/submission ended up!

we can't thank you enough for submitting and helping us give a voice to the smaller writers of the fandom ♥ oh, and for any multi chapter fics/series, we only read the first chapters to make it fair!

please make sure to read each fic's warnings carefully and happy reading! ♥

@iamskyereads - Compulsion (Ezra x ofc!Beatrice)

i can't even begin to describe how much i love this fic already. it's so smart and the worldbuilding?? incredible!! it feels like a sequel to the film, or like it could easily take place in the same universe. just brilliant. and ezra's voice is so clear here, i could hear him saying every word. and the oc, beatrice, is fascinating already, i can't wait to see where it goes!

@all-the-way-down-here - This Is Why We Fight (Dieter x nb!oc!Bell)

i love the start of this. both dieter and bell have excellent characterization and the conversations being had by every character feel so real and are so important. bell's group of friends all sound like friends i would have, and i would love to hang out with them. i love the direction this is going!

@linzels-blog - Delta Palms Tropical Resort (Frankie x f!reader)

ahh what a delightful little fic! it feels very much like an early 2000s rom com and i mean that in the best way! very cute and i love the vibes. everyone's characterization is great and i can't wait to sink my teeth into the rest of it!

@elvenmother - Context and Perspective (Marcus M x f!reader)

completely obsessed with this concept. i love a good enemies to lovers and this is such an awesome way to do it! i always see marcus m fics featuring someone without superpowers, but to have a character that's just as powerful as him? sign me up!

@kedsandtubesocks - In the Dead of the Night (Din x f!reader)

one of my absolute favorite din fics. the worldbuilding and din's creature form is incredible. i love a horror au that's flipped on its head. i also love the "creature is also the hunter" trope and this does that incredibly well. the atmosphere is off the charts.

@ghostofaboy - Rock Bottom (Frankie x original male characters)

god, i don't even know where to begin with this story. it's so raw and visceral and i can't say enough how much i enjoy it. i love reading something new and especially if it's coming from a male perspective. this is, unfortunately, something i could see frankie getting up to. frankie is such a deeply tragic character and this fic does that justice in a dark, but really intriguing way.

@ishabull - The Way We Were Drawn (Marcus P x f!reader)

ohh this is such a sweet fic. i love the imagery painted and the dynamic between marcus and reader is so sweet!

@secretelephanttattoo - Headshots (Marcus P x f!reader)

this fic is beyond sweet and so dreamy. the ideal scenario for anyone, in my humble opinion. who wouldn't want to take pictures of handsome fbi agents and then fall in love with said agent?

@lesbianhotch - you walk by and i fall to pieces (Frankie x f!reader)

THIS WAS THE CUTEST DAMN THING. i love me a nervous frankie (hello, have you read my fic lmao) and this was by far one of the cutest. i'm obsessed with reader's confidence and i just know those two are gonna be menaces once they're together. throw in some patsy cline and i am a goner. this is going on the reread list for sure.

@insomniamamma - Remain Nameless (Ezra & Cee w/ gn!reader)

ok, this one actually made me cry. i'm not sure if it's my own sleep-deprived ass that caused it but this is probably one of the most beautiful but sad fics i've read in a long time. i mean all of this in the best way because i don't normally get emotional from fics. prospect as a movie makes me emotional, though, so it doesn't surprise me that this did as well. it's such an incredible missing scene that i can, unfortunately, see absolutely happening. have some tissues nearby.

@sweetercalypso - Unlikely Friends (Joel x gn!reader)

this fic is one of my absolute favorite fics for joel. a big reason for that is i have a cat named tilly. and imagining joel reluctantly and grumpily cuddling with my tilly makes me emotional, ok??

@softstarlite - The Casualty of Love (Javi P x f!reader)

very cute! i love the awkward tension around not seeing someone for so long and there being a huge glow up maturity-wise from one of them! seeing someone in a new light is always a strange thing and i love the start to these two and their journey!

@julesonrecord - Shots (Jack x f!reader/oc)

probably one of the best post-movie fics i've ever read for jack. the way jack's trauma and therapy is handled is so fucking brilliant and tonic is one of the best fucking characters, god. eva is written so well and i just. i can't recommend this fic enough. if you like jack, hell even if you don't, give this fic a shot. i promise you'll come out of it liking it.

@coulsons-fullmetal-cellist - The Audition (Dieter x f!reader)

goddd this was so cute! dieter's insecurities don't come up very often and i absolutely love what a match he and reader make. she's so sweet with him and takes such good care of him. and he loves her so much and i love them ok

@max--phillips - A Little Lipstick Never Hurts (Max P x f!reader)

this is one of the best explorations into kink that i've ever read. it's so respectful and hot as fuck. completely obsessed with this take on max as a character and i can't get enough of the dynamic between him, reader, (and eventually dieter). it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but i highly encourage you to give it a try. max gets some well deserved lessons taught, and who doesn't love that?

@coastielaceispunk - The Gift of Lingerie (Max L x f!reader)

god, this was so fucking hot. i'm so here for a mentally healed maxwell in a healthy marriage with a fulfilling sex life lol the little bit of teasing on both their parts was beyond sexy and i loved how equal everything felt. ugh, will be rereading this one for sure.

@lotrefcp - Hidden Away (Javi P x f!reader)

i'm obsessed with a no nonsense reader with just as much attitude/sass as javi does lol i just kept reading going GET HIS ASS. an excellent start to a universe i'm excited to sink my teeth into!

@beefrobeefcal - On the Waterfront (Frankie x f!reader)

oh, this is dark. i love the vibes immediately. i've had a weird fascination with the mafia for most of my life and this has that air about it. a dark, chubby mob boss!frankie is right up my alley for sure. i love that he's still frankie tho. sensible, practical, but with an edge. mind the warnings.

@flightlessangelwings - La Estrella de Mi Vida (Javi G x f!reader)

ahhh so romantic and so tragic!! i swear, it's impossible to make javi unappealing but this fic is just so sweet and manages to make me love him even more (somehow). but i love the added drama and tension from outside forces!! i need to read the rest of it asap!

@littlemisspascal - Rockford & Roan (Tim x f!reader)

my god, i love this?? i'm not usually one for superpowers/soulmate au's but i'm in love with the practicality of this? it feels otherworldly without being too much and it's very grounded. i love the reader and the way tim is written is so believable. i love that we as a fandom have created such a visceral image of this character from only a minute's worth of footage!

@something-tofightfor & @the-blind-assassin-12 - Aphelion (Oberyn x Ellaria & f!reader)

goddd the imagery painted in this one. so heartbreaking. absolutely breathtaking. i'm a slut for vampires and i'm a slut for oberyn/ellaria. this is absolutely something i will be reading the rest of lol

@bluestar22x - The Rockford Files (Tim x f!reader)

ok this is insanely good. one of my favorite books of all time is "red dragon" by thomas harris and i felt like i was reading that again while i read this. the details of the case and the cadence of everything was top notch. obsessed with the psychic element thrown in there and i'm beyond excited to see where tim and psy end up next!

bonus:

@sweetenerobert - Fiction vs Reality (Tommy Miller x m!reader)

ohhhh my god. you give me a bisexual tattoo artist tommy miller with stretched ears and i'm supposed to be normal about it??? UNLIKELY. i am extremely tempted to edit this into reality ngl but my god. this was so fucking hot lmao

[ineed-to-sleep]

hii! so i saw you played touchstarved and i was wondering what you thought of all the people in the demo? thanks!!

Ohh I loved the characters tbh!! I think they all have great potential and I'm really excited to see where their storylines go. Especially Leander, I'm sure that man is secretly a freak kfkdkdkfk he's my second favorite and I really wanna play his route when the game comes out. Mostly out of curiosity though, bc my actual favorite is Kuras <3 I was just full heart eyes for him after the first interactions you have with him in the game and no other character got the same reaction from me djdjkckckf spent the whole rest of the game wondering when he was going to come back 💔 I just think his personality is very charming and the whole "repentant angel" concept has so much potential for angst. I love me a tragic boy 🫠 also the way he smiles............ his cunty little golden tears makeup..... his drip............ he has bewitched me body & soul

I think the one I liked the least was Vere, mostly bc I didn't like how he got all up on my character's personal space right off the bat. I was like wow get this man AWAY from me <3 haha PLEASE. The whole interaction just made me kind of uncomfortable and I get that this is a type of character that's right up some people's alley or plays right into their kinks, but for me personally it was all just a big nope. I disliked Ais a little bit too bc he seemed very arrogant and aloof. Not very mindful not very demure 🤨 he did grow on me a bit after seeing him at the bar + playing through his ending in the demo, but honestly I think he's just not my type jdjfncmcm still super interested in seeing where his story goes tho, and I really like the fact he has a pet souless 🥺 watch me steal princess & run fjjckcmf

I honestly don't have much of an opinion on Mhin. I feel like we spend very little time with them in the demo so there's not much to go on. I don't see a problem with them being cagey and not trusting you right off the bat etc. Like, to each their own yk, it's not like they owe the mc any answers, or even friendship. I feel like I'm gonna like them eventually but just based on the fact my mc is a self insert I might end up barely getting to know them at all jdjfkskkxkf I get the impression you have to be a bit pushy with them to get them to talk and tbh like, I'd say at least 99% of the time, if you tell me to fuck off, I just straight up will. No discussion. Goodbye Mhin!! Have a good life!! See you never 👍🏻👍🏻 njdjfkckf that would NOT work out 🥲 so I think in order to do their romance route I'd probably have to play a different character, but I think I eventually will just bc I do find them interesting. From what I've seen from the devs, they might have a lot in common with the mc in regards to being cursed, so that sounds like it'll make for an interesting route.

This is all just my personal taste tho bc overall I think they're all interesting in different ways and I'm really curious to see where each of their routes go :]

[erial-c]

my top ten redacted boys (because i am but a bandwagoner of trends)

1. sam - took me a bit to like him ( haven't even finished his playlist yet) but god his character hurts me, he and darlin have gone through so much shit . the video talking about the future with your vampire mate basically sealed the deal on him being my favorite character, and after reading one of the bright eyes series transcripts, it makes me even more interested in his character . (and his southern accent may or may not have awakened something in me)

2. avior - is it obvious i like tragic characters yet . his series is one of the first ones i've listened to fully, and the chokehold that the plot twist had on me was insane . the realization that he had loved starlight so much that he deus ex machina'd them out of the hellscape, and then was silently YEARNING when they were pulled back . i was sobbing you don't understand officer. also love his early sarcastic personality (despite it being a facade) and his constant need to wax poetic, i wish we still saw a little bit of that in his newer audios though

3. guy - ohh the love of my life . the only comfort character ever . babygirl . he does exude millennial cringe sometimes but i can gloss over all that because i love him  🫶🫶🫶 also love his dynamic with honey they r so cute together . his flashback audio is so good AUGGHH the tension . personal favorite audio of him though is his first sick video , because i am THE guy angst enthusiast and it's the closest i'll ever get to it . he is sooo silly idc i always binge his playlist when i can't sleep (ironically i always listen to the one where he attempts to help honey sleep and it works 🫶)

4. lasko - babygirl #2 🤞🤞🤞 love him he is just an overall sweet character . i've also said this before but, him being labelled early on as submissive irked me because i usually found those character tropes annoying and they tended to be infantilized . but the thing is with lasko its not his entire characterization , he's still a very good professor at the academy and ughhhqhh i know how 2explain it i jst love him (also. his slip up in the hot boi summer audio. he is freaky .)

5. geordi - his and cutie's story is so interesting . i love their storyline so much even if it hurts to listen to the audios . they're both flawed characters in a relationship but they're still taking the necessary steps to be better. additionally, while i definitely don't stand for the shit cutie did, i can relate to them in the sense of needing to know what people are thinking to function properly, which is probably another reason why geordi and his storyline hits so close to my heart . (is that corny. maybe)

6. asher - one of the reasons im in the fandom tbh !! he's one of the first characters i got into, specifically his valenweek flashback audio i ate that shit up . . i don't listen to him that much now but still !!! i owe me being here to his character lol

7. hush - creature/babygirl . i was kinda intimidated to listen to his playlist (for god's sake his title is "mysterious stranger") but ohhhh i love him he is so strange. tying doc up in one video and then asking them to hold his hand a few videos later??? love that . him showing up in carpe deus and fucking wrecking vega kinda sealed it for me . love theorizing about him too, if that's not obvious 🫶

8. porter - when i heard the voice that this character had. i can't even explain to you what my reaction was . he's such a fucking diva i love it so much , this guy is like 80% snark, and he just fucks with vincent for no reason .(when he said he was gonna bring treasure to the summit but didn't 😭) he's also so interesting . while ya he was sent to go to the summit and assassinate a clan king (which he succeeded in) he told sweetheart about the bennets discussing their partnership with closeknit so they could get necessary info, he provided an alibi for vincent, he also stopped grilling sam when darlin told him to . (also his 2nd video with treasure . killed me tbh)

9. marcus - not proud to admit that marcus is the first character i came across on erik's channel . marcus is weirdo number 1 (derogatory) and i just find his storyline so interesting. yeah its sad why he did what he did, but overall he knew what he was doing , he fucked everyone else over, and compromised a project, of which the failure could mean life and death, just because he wanted to get freaky with the robot . his obsession and little impulse control being overrun by the asset's obsession with him. GOD . . the satisfaction i felt when he was taken away 🫶

10. caller - weirdo (compliment) . again as a horror enthusiast i love this guy . he's like ghostface but if ghostface could phase through walls/was already in your house (and also weird and obsessive) . his audio made me have the same reaction when watching horror content : "holy shit i love this but also i hate this" 10/10 . he's only last because he has one (1) video . 💔

honorable mention:

gavin - GAVIN LOVE OF MY LIFFEEEE . i really did wanna put him on my list but i haven't listened to the freelancer series properly yet!!!! this is not a matter of him being my least favorite but rather not knowing much about him in depth yet !!!!

[misc-obeyme]

HII you can be friends (or even date) with my mc. hes basically not even canon mc anymore and just an outright a demon <3 avatar of despair after his Tragic Backstory™️ and mostly just trying to be here for a good time not a long time . little bit of a bully but lovingly yknow. also a male failure (in a funny way)

Ohhhh Avatar of Despair??? Well now I wanna know the Tragic Backstory™️!

Done, our MCs are BFFs now! I said so and what I say goes. Well I mean unless they wouldn't get along? But my MC is super friendly and has a tendency to befriend everyone (unless they're Lucifer).

Was your MC once a human that became a demon or has he been a demon all along?

I'm gonna be honest with you, sometimes I wanna date people's MCs more than I wanna date the actual demons in our game lol. I mean, nobody has ever outranked Barbatos I don't think, but generally speaking. Some of y'all come up with the coolest MCs and I'm just like ohh! I love them already!

Anyway, feel free to share more about your MC if you like!

[strink-family]

what's your favorite song? gonna guess something by idkhow

Ohh that's pretty tough actually. But if I had to pick, I don't think it would be an IDKHOW song, actually.

I've said this before but I don't think a lot of people know because it's gotten pushed down my blog quite a bit (my frequent IDKHOW posting hasn't helped that dghdgjddgksgk), but IDKHOW is actually not my favorite band. They're my second favorite band. My favorite band is Soundgarden. I've just been hyperfixating on IDKHOW lately because I saw them live recently (plus it's easier to talk about and explore stuff for a band that's still active).

Some of my top favorite songs are several songs by Soundgarden, like Limo Wreck, Fell On Black Days, Face Pollution, and Room A Thousand Years Wide. I absolutely adore all of those songs. They're all very different, too. Face Pollution and Room A Thousand Years Wide get under your skin and you really feel them. They're super grungy and hard, and I love it so much. Limo Wreck and Fell On Black Days are thinkers and are more poetic and layered. Still certainly grungy, but you feel them more in your chest rather than in your bones. Fell On Black Days is actually one of the songs I connect with the most among all the songs I've heard in my life. I relate to it very strongly. However, I would not rank any of these songs #1.

My favorite IDKHOW song is definitely Absinthe, and that's definitely one of my favorite songs. It's absolutely amazing. I love the swing rhythm, the background vocals, the lyrics, everything about it. However, it too would not be my all-time favorite.

I think my all-time favorite song would be Like Suicide by Soundgarden. It's one of the most beautiful, tragic, wonderful songs I've ever heard. I listened to it every night on the bus at uni. It's an absolutely amazing song, and the perfect closer to Superunknown. It's absolutely heartbreaking, absolutely beautiful, and I really like that it's quite long. I like long songs. It's one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. One of the greatest songs ever made. Honestly though, Chris Cornell was an absolute genius and made a lot of the greatest songs ever made.

This has gotten longer than I expected it to be so the rest will be under the cut if you wanna learn more about my music taste~

It's hard to pick other top favorite songs, honestly. I know all those Soundgarden songs are up there, and that Absinthe is up there, too. If I had to pick other songs to put up on my all-time favorites list, some might be:

Sea of Sorrow by Alice in Chains

Nutshell by Alice in Chains

Angry Chair by Alice in Chains

Would? by Alice in Chains

No Excuses by Alice in Chains

I Stay Away by Alice in Chains

SPKOTHDVL by IDKHOW

Kiss Goodnight by IDKHOW

Razzmatazz by IDKHOW

FIND ME by IDKHOW (this is another one of those songs that hit me really hard because I really relate to the lyrics)

Suicide Blonde by INXS

Disappear by INXS

New Sensation by INXS

Devil Inside by INXS

Who Pays The Price by INXS

Use Somebody by Kings of Leon

What You Are by Audioslave

Blackbird by Alter Bridge

Fable of the Silent Son by Alter Bridge

Addicted to Pain by Alter Bridge

Slip to the Void by Alter Bridge

Black by Pearl Jam

Alive by Pearl Jam (another one that I have a relation/connection to)

Jeremy by Pearl Jam

I'm gonna stop there, I could go on and on. But this would be making my "favorites" list too long and broad. But I don't think I could pick just one song by any of those bands (minus IDKHOW because I already did). But those are some of my absolute all-time favorite songs, yeah. I like a lot of rock music, but a lot of very different kinds of rock. Grunge, though, is my favorite music genre.

So yeah! While all these other songs are some of my favorites, my all-time favorite song is probably Like Suicide by Soundgarden. And I believe anyone and everyone who might like grunge should listen to that song. And even people who don't particularly like grunge should listen to it because it's absolutely AMAZING. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I don't say that enough. Soundgarden is AMAZING.

I'll include the song here if anyone is curious. Please listen to it if you're even a little intrigued. I love this song so much.

Thank you for asking! I always love talking about music~

[unsleepingtales]

Ok I did not have a chance to watch the ep last night and I’m mildly hungover today but woo! FHJY party time!

"You gotta go right to their house and tell the Applebees house and tell them that their daughter's good"

"He must have repented an-" "Oh nooooo"

THERE'S A FACE BEHIND EVERY PIECE OF STEEL THAT YOU USE IN YOUR DAY TO DAY LIFE.

Kristen I love you to the ends of the earth. But why do you love the steelworkers plant so much.

[mechawolfie]

does no one get tired of making characters that are like, Tragically Mentally Ill. like oh they’re not a bad person but they’re sooo scary because they’re soo Mentally Ill but you feel sooo bad for them bc if only they weren’t so Mentally Ill!!!

[theflyingfeeling]

Uh-uh, what are your ideas on bank heist au (or not bank, but you know, the genre)?

Ohh, great choice 👌 You don't mind if I allow myself to get inspired by Six of Crows, do you? A modern-day adaption, if you will!

Joel ("Dirtyhands") is the leader of the team (the Underdogs), a gloomy man with a tragic past, driven by the will to avenge the fall of his family's business, caused by a money-greedy entrepreneur who's stealing everyone's customers with his monopoly

Niko is Joel's right hand, the sneaky spy ("the Wraith") who hears and knows everything. He goes undercover to said entrepreneur's closest circle and provides the team with valuable information. Although he sure gets close enough to do some serious damage (by, for example, slipping a little something in the Big Boss' drink), his worldview doesn't allow such immoralities, no matter how much they'd deserve it

Enter Joonas ("the Sharpshooter"). "Immoral" is his second name, and he has no problem ruining the lives of his enemies 💅 A bullet to the toe for blackmailing, nudes leaked, a little homewrecking...you name it (I'll leave it to your imagination to figure out where he got his nickname from)

But while Joonas sticks to more practical methods, Olli ("the Heartrender") is much more subtle with his beguiling. His job is to disctract any security guard or clerk that might be standing in the way of the heist, and not many of them can resist his bedroom eyes

..much to the distress of Tommi ("the Convict"), who knows what the people they're dealing with are capable of. He used to work for the business they're planning the heist against, but was framed for a fraud and put in jail, from where he is rescued by the Underdogs in the beginning of the story. He knows all the flaws in the business's security system and is willing to cooperate, but he can't help but feel like his promised freedom after the heist is over is not one of Joel's priorities. He decides not gonna tell anyone he's planning on asking Olli to come with him once it's all over..

On the night before they start the heist, Joel is idling at the night club he owns when a curious character catches his eye. Looking a little out of place with his blond hair and colourful clothes, he awakens something in Joel and he goes to tell the boy to sod off before he gets himself hurt (he's a softie at heart). However, the boy's actually looking for Joel, and he has an offer Joel finds impossible to turn down. Aleksi ("the Runaway") joins the group and completes their team as the ultimate Trojan horse: the Big Boss's son

The heist is schemed by Joel and put into effect by his team, but not without troubles: Joonas almost blows his and Niko's cover by letting his dick do most of the thinking for him, Tommi's protectiveness is frustrating Olli to no end, and Joel had promised himself he wouldn't let his feelings get in the way of business again. It all escalates when Aleksi is kidnapped, and sacrifices must be made for his rescue..

(Send me a random AU + a fandom (=BC) and I'll reply with a summary of the plot)

[akane171]

Abso-freaking-lutely! They're like real life Dean, Sam and Cas, just dorkier, and more chaotic about saving the World!😍

I'm not sure if they even care whether they did a good job or not... Pretty sure they might just be happy it's finished and they got their money😅 And uhh, good question (which I doubt you'll ever get a real answer to) but knowing the way life tends to be it's probably a mix of all of those factors...🤔

💃🏻 *cheers on your bitterness*

HAHAHA, oh, true😅 Tho I still think that's an insult to Pokemon cause NOTHING could describe or compare to pinky...😫 And ohh, okay🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

Ohh, true, that's the even simpler solution🤣 Fingers crossed then!

But good finished series are so hard to come by...🙈

Well, the story and characters are brilliant and you DID say you have a penchant for tragic characters as well...🤷🏻‍♀️😂 PLUS! The end is kinda not tragic? (Hard to describe it without absolutely spoilering you, tbh😅) It's more like a bittersweet heartbreak that'll leave you smiling  nontheless 🤷🏻‍♀️😊 AND the characters are so freaking relatable and again, no black and white thinking🤷🏻‍♀️ AND THE PLOTTWISTS😍 SO genius!

Haha, yeah, don't, I made the mistake and probably spent half the chapters crying😅🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

What do you mean pull a me?? I literally only have ONE fic that's still waiting on it's next/last chapter and that's only cause life's a pain and bringing warm, fuzzy feelings to the page is a PAIN IN THE ASS😫 It just won't turn out the way I'm imagining it in my head and just URGGHHH😭 (Seriously makes me wanna go back to pain and suffering... Why the hell is angst so much easier to write than fluff?!?!) PLUS, I DID write and upload that One-Shot you emotionally manipulated me into in less than a day, so...I'M INNOCENT!

Yes, OF COURSE it includes PiaD, but LW should sleep more so I'm not gonna start on that cause health's more important🙈😭

XXXX

Amen *angel choir cheering in the background*

Yeah, you are probably right about the mix of many factors. Just i's absolutely sad how some shows can be simply good and everything goes fine there and then we have shit shows, where almost everything sucks. Probably it's producers' fault? they should keep attention and react to pathologies in their own show? On the other hand, what to expect from a gossip girl and a row boy =='

Thanks. I guess =='

Let's just forget she exists.

But at east they are finished. Because why to star a series when you know the possibility of it being axed is super high? The problems of the first world, I guess.

... Tragic characters.... do you really want me to add more salt into my life, you SADIST?!!!!

BUT how many fic ideas DO YOU HAVE, HUH?! Please, answer!

You know... as sad it is, but things rarely comes out how I imagined. They simply... live their own lives? And it's not necessarily bad? If i can give you a piece advice, just write things down, even when you are not happy about it. Leave it for a day or two and then come back and read it again. Maybe you will still not like it and will just delete it, but maybe you will realize it's not that bad and it needs just a few edits.

if you didn't ask for advice, then just ignore xD

I don't know, ask @raisedbyfandomwolves WHY ANGST IS EASIER TO WRITE THAN FLUFF.

Me? manipulating people? Naaaaaaaaaaah, that's for sure not me. Also, as I said I'm SURE you have more ideas to wrote so all you have to do is just suffering and writing them for my entertaiment. Just saying.

No way! THERE IS ANOTHER BLESSED SOUL THAT THINKS LW SHOULD SLEEP MORE?!!!!! FRIEND, COME TO MY ARMS! LE ME HUG YOU! WE CAN JOIN THE FORCES AND HARASS HER ABOUT HER SLEEPING HABITS TOGETHER! YASSS!!!!

*EVIL LAUGH*

Anyway, I just want to tell you I have finished writting chapter 5th, so see??? how amazing i am?! Now go and write something too!

[no-no-no-ahhhh]

So since Monster High might have a come back, and those uninspired dolls have officially been released...

Sus Rasict things Monster High has done

1. White washed an Egyptian character

Cleo looks so white when she's based off of Egyptian royalty. Yall can't even tell me she's tan or anything like that she looks plain white

If you don't think they whitewashed her you can't deny monster high participated in colorism. Cleo our main boo who the audience is supposed to cheer for is lighter then her sister which we are supposed to hate. Her sister is occasional the antagonist.

2. Over sexualize their black character

Yall can try all you want to tell me otherwise but clawdeen was dressed more scandalous then the rest of the dolls. In the anime version of Monster High clawdeen says something along the lines of "One of the cute things about me is my short revealing skirt."

Mattel let that slide by. Many black characters get over sexualized.

https://www.blackburncenter.org/post/2019/02/20/the-historical-roots-of-the-sexualization-of-black-women-and-girls

Can we just stop sexualizing little poc girls. I remember as a child putting clawdeen skirt on her and trying to pull it down a bit , so it wouldn't show too much. When I tried to pull it down it just went down all her legs.

3. Not good at representing indigenous people skin tone.

In MH they do have indigenous based designs but they don't necessarily reflect the way indigenous people look. A little girl can't pick up the doll and say "hey this doll looks like me" and I think all little girls would like to see them self in things they like. Also a lot of poc end up hating that they aren't lighter. It would be nice if they could see their skin represented in a doll.

Dont tell me that oh it wouldn't work with these monsters because the monster doesn't have skin blah blah blah blah. MH has designed black coded vampires and white coded werewolfs before.

Also I'm so tired of companies having so many white people than sprinkling some black people and calling it a day cause they met the "diversity quota". I'm honestly thinking now that they just put Clawdeen in to say they have a poc doll."Look at how diverse we are." If they really where diverse they would not have white washed a Egyptian character in the first place.

4. They just have whitewashed many more characters

First is Gigi Grant, Middle Eastern people can be light skinned but they're are also "tanned" middle eastern people. MH already got a whole ton of white characters. It would not hurt to just give Gigi some melanin.

Another whitewashed character is Marisol Coxi

Her doll and doll art fur/skin is light pink

But in the webisodes she looks like a black coded character

Idk why they changed the way she looks in one media from the other. Just let us have more poc dolls!

Third is Honey Swamp its possible she is simply a lightskined person which is perfectly fine. But it seems like monster high just likes to deny us melanin enriched dolls.

5. The Tiki

They never had a tiki Monster High character that looked like the rest of the MH dolls. Which would have been nice to see but alas it was stolen from us. The tiki where just a plot device for a MH movie Escape from Skull Shores. They don't ever tease the tiki or anything like that, thank goodness. At the beginning of the movie they just follow these white man's orders , which is very sus.

Another weird thing, is in a different movie Scaris City of Frights Cleo accidently destroys the whole village. Then Skelita (an indigenous based character) tells her to apologize to the tiki but instead Cloe is all like "Hah I dont apologize." then she manipulates the tiki into building a ship for her. That unnecessary scene just leaves a bad taste.

Honestly its sad how the tiki are always being manipulated. I think the media should stop using poc as mere plot devices.

6. Having a white character based off poc aesthetic

Monster high gave Jane Boolittle a jungle aesthetic. They state that she never knew her origins. Honestly I think they are trying to go for a Tarzan type of story. "Oh no us rich white people who decided to explore a jungle and brought our kid with us too..... for some odd reason ..... have had something tragic happen to us. Now our child is alone only to be raised by animals ahhhhwww." Later she gets adopted by another researcher/explorer. MH if you are gonna base a character on the "jungle aesthetic" maybe base it off ohh idk people who actually live in the jungle and not some rando white girl!!

I'm so tired of these stupid colonial based stories first with that werid white con-man in Skull Shores and now these white explorers!! I can't.

(Also Jane being a whole stalker is not cute. Her being a stalker endorses that behavior. A kid might see that and be like "wow she's stalking but that's okay because she's shy uwu. " pls never stalk anyone ever. )

If we ever cancel a Monster High character it should be Jane Boolittle.

7. "Race" jokes

I thought monster high was supposed to be about accepting people but the amount of times a monster from a different race has made a race joke on another monster is not even funny. The discrimination and horrible jokes Ghoulia had to hear right in front of her face is so sad. I think its honestly teaching kids to make/be tolerant with rasict jokes.

"Uhhhhhnnnhhhhng I'm a mummie"

For example when Duce made a joke on mummies doing" zombie motions". Like you got the wrong race and a inaccurate stereotype dummy. These writers were stupid. 😑

I dont think we should cancel MH just Jane Boolittle or anything like that. But if monster high comes back and they still haven't addressed/fixed these issues we should definitely fight them.💖

[paper-mirio]

ohh lol bc i play otome games lol n when i was reading pt43 there was mention of "unlicking the tragic backstory" n how they're just gonna experience the happy ending so i got otome vibes but ofc you couldve meant it as figuratively haha -TAanon

Ahhh okay yeah I see how that can be read as an otome joke 😂. I was thinking of those jokes that go “sorry you have to be friendship level 15 to unlock my tragic backstory” when I wrote that line.

[raisedbyfandomwolves]

And ohh, just wait til you get to Liyue (based on China), it's got awesome views from high mountains (I wasted so much time w that😂)and looks sooo cool at night time and even a sad/tragic lovestory backstory(the theme is so Beautiful!😍) (Oh, btw just in case, with this message, there should be 6😳🙈😅) TtQ: Do Eir-ni and Dax-Am meet already knowing who the other is (aka the princess and a Kryptonian) or is their meeting gonna be much more complicated? (Hopefully this isn't too spoilery?😅😅🙈)

This game is starting to sound like some kind of digital tourist destination, lol. But okay, another thing to look forward to. XD

(Yep, got 6 messages this time. I guess you're going to keep count from now on just in case? XD)

Q. Nope, they're strangers when they first met since their situation is not that much different from when explorers of the old days arrived at a new land and met the people already living there; it's impossible for them to know anything about the local culture, not to mention who's who, until they start trying to understand it especially since they don't even speak the same language. Introductions happen not long after they meet though so they don't stay complete strangers for long.

A non-Clark-y Kara would have been so badass 😂 In the comics and e.g. Young Justice she did always come across as the "tougher" of the two...🤔 Ohh, imagine what those Karamel dynamics could have been like🤣🤣 (Tho their idiotic-arguing-puppy-love is just heartwarming 😂) 

Oh, I'm not even gonna argue. I love Kara, but this is one argument on which iI will NEVER even slightly agree with her. I mean, you already pionted out more than enough points for why, but the fact she didn't bother any other alien (e.g. from the alien bar) about how they're selfish for not superheroing or that she didn't consider she herself spent all but what? A year? on earth without superheroing and even Kal/Clark didn't always just makes her whole point pathetic... Same with the Jeremiah situation when once again Mon was made out as wrong and bad for what? Being right? Being cautious? Just no. And nobody ever apologized!!!😑

I don't get what they have against Kara being in therapy anyway, like Young Justice spent a whole episode giving the Heroes therapy sessions to deal with their trauma/traumatic experience...  

Ohhh, but what could warrant her staying forever?🤔

Ohhh 😱😍😭 I'm not sure whether to be happy of having a karamel godkid (you do realize you just sent me into a terrible downward spiral of "What does he look like? What is he like? Is he more like Kara or more like Mon or their perfect like mix? HOW DID HE DIE? I MUST PROTECT LITTLE PRECIOUS KARAMEL CHILD!", right?😅😂 I NEED ANSWERS!!) or to go sit in the corner and bitterly cry over his death...

And no, I definitely DO want to hear about Mon and Lan's deaths and how Maya reacted! I NEED to know 😭😭😭  

NOOO, write theeeeeemmm😭 You can't just drop all this heartbreak and not write and fix it!😭😭 (Just to clear up: I'd never wanna force you into anything at all ofc, so when I say sth like this, I'm just whining, don't feel forced to do anything🙈)

 Haha, nah, it's fine anyway😁 Always good to have a bunch of book recommendations lying around for whenever I finally have time for it again☺ 

I'll give you a million tragic high-fives😂 And Yup, we're pretty much screwed by definition😅 (Tho, to be fair, in "The Mortal Instruments" I got attached to kinda two side characters(one a badass immortal warlock and one a cool shadowhunter) who did end up together, and even have their own spin-off which inlucdes them adopting two Kids! So that was a non-screwed over (homosexual) couple😁💃🏻) 

Ohh, wait, which ones do you mean in Naruto?🤔 

Yeah, esp. the absorption thing was sooooo awesome, poor Lydia finally got a break from announcing death😅 And yes, Parrish was so underrated and underused anyway... It's like they just literally forgot about him and the fact that they know a hellhound...🙈 Would have been awesome to see him save the day instead of Scott winning against everyone and everything cause freaking plotarmor...😩 (It's ridiculous he defeated people like Deucalion or Peter...)

HAHAHA, Greenberg calling him Bobby would have been the BEST SCENE EVER!!!😍😂🤣

I already put Lightbringer on the list😂 Ohhh, nice rule, but I doubt I'd manage that without abandoning everything else in life😂 Just reading a little is not possible for me, if I start the book, you can be sure I'll be done with it in 3 days at most😂 (Tho at least I get my Daily dose of fanfics, which does usually derail many of my to-do-plans or sleep schedule too, but hey, "less" than normal bookd🤷🏻‍♀️😅)

Haha, Thanks, not even sure how many exactly I'm still waiting for... There's stuff that hasn't updates since 2013 or so, so... Let's really not talk about this😅😭😂

Yeah, it's probably an unspoken anime fan rule😂 Tho hey, at least you're not my level of stupid about it and try to draw realistic stuff too😅 I'm pretty sure I owe Chris Wood at least 5 apologies for the terrible attempts I made at drawing him😅🙈🙈

HAHAHAHA, yess, that's a good way of going about it😂 Tho, tbh, while I love ranting about articles, they do very much so have their purpose and using the wrong one does indeed make a big difference at times🤔 But they're still terrible😉😂

Ah yes, the good ol' days of RTL2 and Pokito 🤔😍😊 Back when they spent at least 12 hours a day with animes etc😂 And well, I mean, animes do tend to be rather obvious about what's going on even if you don't understand anything🤔 

Yup, side character fics are so freaking hard to get by... Just saaaaaaadddd😭😭😭

Ohhh, sounds like more than just dissapointment😅 I mean, I didn't exactly like the end or the way they made the later half of Naruto either, but what exactly was your major point of dissapointment? (Still my biggest problem was how they just nerved Naruto and Sasuke and the villains to god level and made everyone else pathetic, useless bystanders😅🤷🏻‍♀️🙈)

Haha, yess, weirdos for winners💃🏻

PS: ☺🙈🙈

XXXXXXX

Yeah, maybe we are getting that version in the movie. Still, probably not going to watch.

Hmm, interesting how their interaftions would look like. For sure she would quite quickly threw Lena's ass into the sun and feel zero remorese about it. But with Mon-El? Hmm.

Annoyed but intrigued or interested? Finally someone who remembered her planet and people and I don't think she would have been as butthurt about him being the prince. But... interesting idea for a fic, lol

And you know the BEST thing? She became a superhero when she was liek what, 24? ONLY becasue Alex was in danger. But well, hypocrisy was one of her character flaws.

I think Mon suffered from the "oh, no, Kara can;t apologize or admit she was wrong, especially to him". Anotehr funny thing is that's the SAME thing they had done to Alex and Kara. How many times Kara was right, but Alex screamed and didn't apologize?

Because oh she is oh so strong woman and doesn't need it. What is funny again, because thye have spent wasting time on some super dumb so called important eye-opening stuff and couldn't have spared one ep about mental health. Interesting, right?

That depends on my mood xD Because you know, as much as I like Danvers sisters I see their bond as problematic and it was never really approached. So, for example Kara deciding she needs to stay by Alex's side becasue uwu, life is brutal, she needs to three-wheeling her and her family for entire life and blah blah. What would BE CANON.

No. Becasue in the end I will want to write whole fic, so no ==' As I said, I'm the queen of unwritten angst, not written. But I can assure you, all my ideas are heartbreaking. For example mxy showing her all the scenes from her future life and all what happened, because she can't believe she just left her family etc. MUHAHAHAH

Errrm, is this malec ship? Becasue it sounds like them and I kind of know some of the stuff from Shafowhunters from the gifs on tumblr XD HAPPY FOR YOU!

Naruto, sigh. Funny stroy, in the begining i liked SasuxSaku but with time and how the story unfold, i started hated them. I really liked Sasuke and imo, he should have or died honorable death or stayed asexual and with no fam. Last Uchiha, no more curse and more people hunting for them. End of story. And seriosuly, I hate the "big breasted fangirl gets the dude and becomes the perfect waifu aka wet dream of every dude in Japan" (a big generalization, but you get my point). That's why I hate IchiHime ==' tbh, the same goes for NaruHina, but whatever.

Maybe they will fix things in the movie..... MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I don't mind Scott, maybe he was not my fave character but was not bad... as for a typical teen kinda-superhero.

We would finally see Greenberg! And the conspiracy theory aka Greenberg being Bobby's halluciation or imaginery student would be clear xD

Hey, fics are in a lot of cases better than published books! I wouold ask you to go to sleep at a normal hour, but I do the same shit iwth books so xD

I like to swallow books like that... unless I get to a problematic part and I suspecty next things are going to destroy me xD so then sometimes I leave it for a few days... or months... sometimes years xD

Gurl TT All of my fave Gundam SEED fics are not finished TT ... oh wait, there is one mine that is not finished, oops

It's not stupid, it's how we learn, right? For example I stopped drawning alsmot in 100% but I like coloring books with pencils.

SO GO AND DRAW CHRIS!

Articles (in any language) will never make sense to me, so I bow to the queen *bows*

RTL2 was my wormhole to anime world xD with bad internet connection and almost no anime in Polish tv, it felt like heaven. Still my dad was always pissed off when he caught me watching, but well, typical anime fan's life xD

Sad high five. We are doomed *satres into the void*

You kow, the typical shounen stuff - from zero to god level, saving the world from apocalypsis, power of friendship, sometimes I really want the good guys losing. And well, the ships at the end - geeeeeeeeeez. Minus ShikaTema all were dissapoiting. Or maybe I'm salty after what they have done to Jiraya and Tsunade, who knows. And as I said, everything about Sasuke. Just. No.

YEEEHAAAAAAAAAAW!
