1. what is/are your goal/s appearance-wise? i mean getting a tattoo, a piercing, dyeing your hair, etc.

2. who is your favourite poet/author?
Fave author is def Patrick Sénécal (he’s from Quebec so legit none of y’all know who it is). He’s like a Quebecer Stephen King but...he’s better ngl lmao sorry stephen 🤷🏻‍♀️ the shit he writes is so damn fucked up but sooo well-written and interesting plus it’s happening in places I know well, with names or words or stuff that I culturally relate to so it’s amazing seriously I wish his work was translated in english so you could read his books. 
3. what is your comfort show/film?
bitch i literally love u so much u rly ask the best questions like damn. anywho. my comfort film is Harry Potter and the half-blood prince and it’s been that way ever since I saw it (that was almost 10 years ago wtf is the notion of time). 
4. what is your first memory?
My first memory is either my mom over my cradle or my mom standing besides the fridge as I’m holding a toy and looking at her. 
5. what smell do you hate the most in the world?
Sweat. Idk who in the “Universe” project team thought making sweat smell bad was a good fucking idea but they were stupid and didn’t deserve to be put on the Human creation section tbh, Them and the dumb bitch who created periods can both choke. 
6. what is your go-to outfit when you want to look really cute for the day, but don’t have the time/energy to pick?
It’s a pair of mom jeans and a black turtleneck every damn time I’m too lazy to wear anything better :’) 
7. you know these “types of girls” posts on tumblr (if you don’t, there are plenty of them on my blog under just this tag, “types of girls”)? make a “type” for yourself, using up to six things!
Antigone* : Hella loyal, independence ftw, brave and sassy when needs to be, loves black, doesn’t give a shit, !!!STUBBORN BITCH!!!, lives for her principles and won’t ever back down. 
*Like the mythology character 
9. do you reread books you’ve liked?
I literally have no time to read with college :/ but if I did have the time the HP saga would be the top 1 thing I’d reread !!
10. do you like your bedroom? what would you change in it?
I really like my bedroom ! I think it could be prettier (but that’s just cause I’m a perfectionist who’s literally never satisfied) but tbhh i really put time and effort into making it enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing and I think I did great ☺️
11. what is your dream view out of the window of your room?
It would be 100% be the Fleuve Saint-Laurent like closer than I already am to it so I could see it permanently oh my godd. 
(You forgot to put a number 8 btw boo!)
Sooo now my questions are : 
1. Which fictional character do you relate to the most and why ? 
2. What’s your biggest pet peeve ? 
3. Forget about the salary and all the stuff for one second, if you could have any job which one would you choose ? 
4. What’s that accessory/piece of clothing that you put the most effort in or that you accord the most attention to ? 
5. You gotta choose one song as your all-time favorite. Which one is it ? 
6. What’s your happiest memory ? 
7. What are your phobias ? 
8. What,s your favorite quote if you have any ? 
9. You have a free trip around the world but you’ll never meet your “soulmate” (or anyway that person who’s supposed to make you rly rly happy ok would it be romantically or not) do you accept that deal ?  
10. What kinda teenager were you ? Or if you’re a teenager now, what kind of kid were you ?
11. Your idol ?

My Reaction to “Gotham” S1E20
Oh yeah, when I first recorded my reactions to the Ogre arc in this show, it was super late at night and it was on my birthday a few weeks ago. 
Not a good plan.
AN:  I managed to record my reactions to this episode and hopefully I can transcribe what I said into this post.
“He [Reggie] fell out of a window.  He’s dead.”  Yeah, you [Selina] pushed him out!
“And what happened tonight, you [Bruce] tell no one.  Not your buddy Detective Gordon, not your butler.  No one.“  *rage sniff*
Freaking... Selina!
*Ed beats the snot out of a couple watermelons*  Havin’ fun there?
Shiiit, he’s [the Ogre] after Gordon!
*Lee finds out that a cat broke into her apartment*  Keep the cat!  KEEP THE CAT!
“Either I [Jim] give up, like everyone else and live, knowing I let a killer go free or I keep on, and someone I love is killed.“  Barbara!  What about Barbara?
*slaps hands on desk with each word*  Why hasn’t Jim told Lee about Barbara yet?!?  What about Barbara?!?
“But I [Lee] do like that you [Jim] think of me as a loved one.”  “I do. Love you.“  *whimpers*
This is adorable ugghhh!
He’s [the Ogre] gonna go after Barbara!  I hate this!
I hate this!  UUGGGHHHH!!!
YOU [Barbara] TOOK THE OGRE INTO YOUR HOUSE.  I HATE THIS!
Barbara should not be allowed anywhere near clothes with fringes ever again because they look bad on her!
When you have long hair, don’t wear fringes with it!
Where’s Victor [Zsasz] been this whole time?  Shouldn’t he be doing continuous updates on Oswald’s club?
“Mr. Nygma, it [the bruises on Kristen’s arms] is none of your concern.“  He- oh my God- he [Dougherty] is abusing her [Kristen]!
[Ed] Give her your watermelon basket!
I like Bruce’s composition notebook that he carries around.
“I [Bruce] won't be alone. I've invited Selina Kyle.“   Aaaawwww!
“I mean, you know I mean, [Bruce] you're a healthy young lad and she's [Selina]  a very pretty young girl with a penchant of wearing, well, a little too much leather.”  “Alfred, it's not like that.“  Haha!
We’re gonna get another Bruce and Selina dancing scene?  Yay!
There’s nothing ominous about that waiting room [at the plastic surgery center] at all!
"’I specialize in fake boobs, but I got ethics. I need a warrant.’“  Hahaha!
“Detective.  I [the Ogre] didn't get a chance to say hello properly in the alley.“  Shoot.
UuuuuAAAUUUGGHHH!
Lee, blue looks good on you.
*Bruce sends numerous dress bags and shoe boxes for Selina*  Oh my GOOSSHHH!
“Van Groot- that's one of Gotham's oldest families.“  I AM GROOT!
*Maroni invites Oswald to sit and drink with him and Gertrude*  UUUAAAGHHHHH!!!
*repeatedly slaps hands on desk in panic*
“Hello.  Bruce Wayne.”  Aaww.
*Selina comes out in her dress*  Oh it’s pretty!
*absolutely squees when Bruce gets speechless over Selina*
Aah, that was cute!  Aah!
Take a shot every time they say “GCPD!”
Oh my God, they killed the mom [Constance van Groot]!
Noooo!
*Harvey finds her body laying in bed*  She’d been dead for a while!
‘Course there’s a thing [sculpture] made of ice.
Tag yourself, I’m that lady going “Aaaw!” over Bruce and Selina dancing!
“My son- he made one mistake.  One.  Anything else is lies.“  Really?
“I [Selina] guess that's where we're different, then.  'Cause if I had to do it again [kill someone], I would.  And it wouldn't bother me one bit.“  Oh my gooossshhh!
“I [Ed] saw the bruises [on Kristen].”  “And?“  And you’re [Dougherty] an abusive douche!
“I won’t let you hurt her.”  *slaps desk with each word*  ED!  DEFENDING!  KRISTEN’S!  HONOR!
“Later, Riddle Man!”   *sighs*  I know, I’m mad too, Ed.
“She [van Groot] was deranged. Cruel, even.“   Was she blonde [like the Ogre’s victims]?
“My son [the Ogre] is not a bad man.”  ...Are you sure about that?
He [the Ogre] had a facial deformity?  Ooohhhh....
OK yeah, at this point, I can’t stand Oswald’s hair... man...
There were a couple of goth girls at my old high school who had like that same color of hair
*gasps when Maroni threatens Gertrude with a knife*
Yo, nooooo no no no!
Ed, nooo.... that’s the wrong way to do it [look after Kristen]!
“I know what it's like to be one person on the inside, and have the world see another.  I lived like that.  And it almost destroyed me.  I can see it destroying you.“  *groans in panic*
*slams hands on desk*  Ho my Godd..... oh God...
AAAAAHHH I AM SO ON EDGE ABOUT THESE LAST FEW EPISODES!
I like this lighting in this scene [where Ed confronts Dougherty]
*gasps when Ed accidentally stabs Dougherty*  OH NO NOOOOOO!
HOOOOOOO MY GODDDD!!
“Oh dear.  Oh dear!”  OH DEAR INDEED!
“Oswald, have you done things you should not?“  Yes!  A lot of them.
Man, the acting in this show is really good despite all these painful hiccups from the writing room
*jaw drops when Oswald kills the delivery man*
Oh my God... AAAHHH!
*Oswald drags the delivery man’s body out*  That’s a lot of blood!
“ [The Ogre] Told me [Jim] not to believe my own press as the rising star of the GCPD.“  Barbara!”
*Jim realizes that the Ogre is after Barbara*  Thank you!
*Selina confirms the sketch to the Ogre*  Shoooooooot!
“Why?  Who is he?”  A serial killer!
Barbara, get rid of the beehive on top of your head.  Right now.
My God, they better not be pulling some “Fifty Shades of Grey” shit on us, I swear to God.
*End title pops up*  AAHHH MY GOD!
Shiiiiiiiiiiittt!

Fanfic MST: Forbiden Fruit: The Tempation of Edward Cullen, a Twilight fanfic
I was talking to an online friend on Twitter not too long ago, and the subject of bad fanfiction came up. My friend had been reading “My Immortal” and losing his shit over it. I asked if he’d read “Forbiden Fruit: The Tempation of Edward Cullen” and it turned out he had not. He’d never even heard of it.
Indeed, while this story is one of the best-known badfics out there, it’s still considerably less popular than “My Immortal” is, and I think that’s a damn shame. This may be my personal favorite work of bad fanfiction; it’s a fantastic example of the “so bad it’s good” genre. Author BeckyMac666 writes like no other English-language writer has ever written, and this is both a good and a bad thing. She’s almost certainly a troll, given the blatant use of established badfic tropes and several parallels with “My Immortal,” but when you’re this good at being terrible it really doesn’t matter how serious you are about it.
For the record, there are folks who believe that this fic and “My Immortal” share an author, due to the aforementioned parallels. I personally don’t think that’s true, since the prose is very different, but if it amuses you to imagine that they’re written by the same person, be my guest.
Like virtually all Twilight badfic, this story is about a mysterious new girl arriving in Forks and shaking up Bella and Edward’s relationship by creating a love triangle. As usual, Bella is made out to be completely awful in the process, Jacob is largely forgotten about, and the protagonist may not be entirely human herself. This is far weirder, and more entertaining, than your average shitty Twilight fanfiction, though. Mark my words.
I first MSTed this fanfiction back on the old WordPress version of this blog, but, as that was a long time ago and I like to think I’m funnier nowadays, I rewrote most of my comments. It’s not wildly different, but hopefully it is an improvement over the old version.
AN hey guys this is the new improved verson of my story, hope its better this time!
I have no idea what the unedited version of this thing looked like, but I honestly can’t imagine it being any more ridiculous than the final story.
btw i am young and have dyslexia i find spellin hard but its meant2 be unformal ok !
Use spellcheck, you fool! Or get a proofreader!
no critisism pls!
Oops.
tis story goes out 2 my bf zac(kisses!) amd my besfreind Tiffi LOVE YA GRRRL!
The Tara parallel here is probably intentional. Zac never gets mentioned again, much like Tara’s boyfriend, but Tiffi isn’t Becky’s beta reader and they don’t have a spat partway through or anything of that sort.
EDWARD IS OUR GODD!(we wanna SEX him gud!)
Honestly, I think this is how all fanfiction should open. Just tell me straight-up what character you wanna bang before the story’s even started. Save us all some time.
love &blood becky mac! xxx x x xx
Aww. That’s kinda cute.
UPDATE: I have a proofreader and I have cleaned up the spelling and grammer on this chaptor a hell of a lot as you will see (thank u vickie!)
Yeah, Vickie, thank you. Looks like you’re doing a great job and you’ve got everything under control here.
i will be imrpoving the next chaptors soon.
Since this fic got “abandoned,” subsequent chapters have not actually been improved. Not that one can tell, anyway.
Altantiana
Yes, that is a typo of her OC’s name. Off to a great start.
Hey, my names Atlantiana Rebekah Loren (but everyone calls me Tiana or just plain Tiaa).
Virtually no one calls her Tiana during the course of the story. Just so you know. “Tiaa” isn’t a typo, either, though I have no idea why the author felt the need to add an extra A.
Notice the middle name? Subtle.
I am a 16 year old girl and I live in Forks, Washington!
This actually makes her a year younger than Bella, for the record.
My hair is long and pale like spun gold and skims to my waist like a pale shimmering amber mist.
It’s pale and it’s pale? Also, gold and amber are not the same color.
My eyes are deep forgetminot blue and my delicate fentures are lilly white and pure as the winter snow in moonlight.
I’ve been complimented on my fentures before too, but it’s nothing worth bragging about.
I've been told by loads of sleazy, ugly, HORNY guys that I'm real pretty and look like a model or a bunny girl (some of the guys who like me are really old and try to make opt with me its disgusting and weird!) but basically a lot of the girls I meet tell a different story.
Well, gee, after that modest description of yourself I’m shocked that boys think you’re attractive, Tiaa. You sounded so plain and ordinary.
Am guessing that the girls who don’t tell a different story are gay.
They say I'm too ivory white and ethereal and too skinny and that I look anorexic which i don't care about, but I think its seriously disrespectful to people with REAL eating disorders (btw i'm so totally not anorexic! I eat loads I just never gain weight and I'm not thin enough to be anorexic anyways, I think they were just being BIATCHES especially this one ratty brain called Ellie Mayfair who I hope freaking DIES in PAIN with SHIT ON HER FACE! Sorry, I'm not really such a batch but she is SO horrible if you met her you'd think the same!)
I hate when girls pick on me for being too ethereal.
Even though we’re using the “attractive character looks anorexic but isn’t” trope, and that’s obviously not so great, I guess it’s nice that Tiaa/Becky took the time to point out that the comparison is disrespectful to people who actually have anorexia or another eating disorder.
The bit about Ellie Mayfair is one of the best things I’ve ever read. I hope you guys all understand why I had to run this fic now.
Anyways I am quite tall and slim and but with really big boobs that I used to HATE because they look noticeable on my slender body and draw to much attention but now i like them and don't care who stares at me!
Ah, the “skinny yet improbably busty” body type. Strangely more common in fiction than in real life.
Tiaa totally does care who stares at her, by the way. As we’ll see shortly.
I have a lip ring and recently put black and indigo and magenta streaks in my long pale blond hair. I smell like mint and cinnamon.
I have no idea why we’re supposed to care about any of this, but I’m particularly unclear about why we should care what she smells like.
I wear mostly black and hot pink, deep purple and neon blue and listen to COOL music!
Tiaa’s specific music taste never comes up, to my recollection, but I’m betting My Chemical Romance is involved.
It is my first day at school in forks as I just moved here to live with new foster parents Dave and Marie. They are nice and all very hole some sweet people but it is not like having a real family.
Yeah, Tiaa is adopted. This is sort of plot-important later on, but we never get to learn much about her life prior to Dave and Marie.
I've been hurt to many times to let people close to me and I don't talk to them very much.
I mean… you just moved in with them.
My real mom died when I was born and I never knew my real dad. I sometimes wonder what he is like and if I will ever get to met him.
Foreshadowing!
Dave gave me a ride to school and I smiled faintly as he wished me good luck and I got out of the car and went into the school. Loads of people freaking stared at me as I walked down the hall.
Presumably because she’s too ethereal.
I was wearing tight black leather pants with silver chains at the waste and a red fishnet-like top and you could see my black lacy bra through it.
That could have something to do with why they’re staring.
I ignored whispers and the big pink cheerleader imbosils pointing at me. I was used to it and I paid no at-tension to the guys asking desperately for my number(like hell I'd even LOOK at the horny little donkeys!) and told a ditsy blond cheerleader called Jessica to STFU(!) when she called me a freak!
God I love this author’s writing style. Truly, no one has ever written like this, before or since. BeckyMac666 is one of the unsung geniuses of our time.
Next time she tries anything I'll hit her in the eye cause NO ONE messes with me nemore!
Most of the rest of the story is about various people messing with Tiaa. For the record.
My first day I was relay board, I sat gazing out of the window into the gray cloud-embittered sky for most of the morning, My teachers all looked at me disprovable but said nothing cause they probably new I was a foster kid and a Gothic and didn't want to upset me in case I cut them up as they slept,.
I’m a pretty big fan of the phrase “cloud-embittered,” although it is of course completely meaningless.
Hey, uh… why the hell hasn’t she gotten dress coded? I went to a private school and I guess our dress code was a bit stricter than most, but most high schools will get upset at teenage girls for not covering their knees and shoulders, let alone having any undergarments visible. Tiaa’s entire bra is showing through her fishnet top. This is a situation in which I think it’d be reasonable to ask her to change.
My ears are pierced four times, I have a tattoo of a scorpion(like S my birth-sign!) on my ankle and a Gothic cross on my shoulder, and on my hand i have a weird birthmark in the shape of a seven-pointed star that I've had all my life.
I don’t know why we’ve gone right back to (over)describing Tiaa, but I do think I should delete my entire OkCupid bio and replace it with this opening chapter.
Your probably wandering why I'm bothering to tell you this, well I tell you now I am no ordinary sixteen year old girl.
Could’ve fooled me!
I have a secret, a dark and forbidden secret witch I am only just beginning to understand. When I sleep I hear whispers in another language and even though I understand them at the time, when I wake up i can't remember it!
That’s nothing. I had a dream once where I explained the meaning of Nirvana lyrics to somebody (obviously not possible in real life), and I couldn’t remember my explanation when I woke up either.
I also see weird faces in my dreams that fade to nothingness when I open my eyes and I swear out the corner of my eye my birthmark glows shocking bright gold and gets relay hot sometimes but when I look properly it is back to normal boarding scar-color!
I’d like to remind you that this is set in the Twilight universe. It’s already got magical creatures, and there are rules established about their abilities, appearances, and behavior. Tiaa is clearly not quite human, but she doesn’t seem to be a vampire, a half-vampire, or a werewolf. She’s completely unique within her universe, for no defined reason, and the rules governing other nonhumans don’t apply to her.
Like, the physical description and the obvious homage to “My Immortal” already made it clear that this girl is a Mary Sue, but this author clearly gets that Sue status isn’t just about looking unreasonably pretty. It’s about defying the rules of canon. Tiaa’s outstanding at that, as you’ll see later on.
I am really gracefull like the running anti-lopes when I run very fast and am stronger and faster than most people.
God, what a sentence.
I used to just think i was relay athletic but now I'm not so sure, I think there might be something else at work, something so much more mysterious and eeire.
Something like… bad writing?
The truth hovers so softly on the brink of my memory sometimes but if only i could remember the weird things that clung to the edge of my mind as I slept!
There are so many bad fanfics where the prose is bare-bones, with few or no adjectives/adverbs and simple sentence structure. BeckyMac666 tends in the opposite direction, and it’s awesome. Everything is phrased as though it’s super dramatic, nonsense metaphors abound, and our author has clearly never met an adjective she didn’t like. Hey @ aspiring trollfic authors: take note. This is how you write an entertaining badfic.
At lunch I sat alone in the corner and scanned the cafeteria quietly with my eyes smoldering dark blue beheath my long black lashes and my slim thighs curled under me.
Also a big fan of how Tiaa always talks about herself as though she’s checking herself out.
It was the n I noticed an unbelievably jaw-droopingly hawt HAWT HAAAAAAAAWT dude with tusseted blondey-brown hair, golden yellow eyes like wells of hot caramel and pale sexy features. He was tall and mussel and looked like he was wearing eyeliner and my body got hot and cold all at once as I looked at him.
Kind of like an erection only she’s a girl so she didn’t get one you sicko.
I'd never felt this way about anyone before and I'd totally never felt this weird feeling that I'd met someone before but I had no idea where and i knew it was impassible because I'd freaking remember someone THAT hawt!
Foreshadowing! Again!
A girl sat next to him with long brown hair with her arms dripped over him like a freaking flesh-eating plant so i thought well whatevah, hes taken.
Straight-up one of the greatest similes I’ve ever seen. Like, I study English literature and I don’t think I’ve ever read a metaphor better than that one. I’m not joking, it’s brilliant.
She wasn't nearly as hawt as he was, she wasn't ugly though. I figured I was maybe prettier then her. I never really saw myself as beautiful but i'd guessed from thinks others had said, plus this girl wasn't great looking but anyways I'd never try to pilch with another girls' BF cause thats just low.
The modesty act might be a little more convincing if we hadn’t just read several paragraphs of Tiaa talking about how hot she is.
So I got up to leave the hall thinking I'd go and smoke some bald drugs in the locker room while no one was there.
Hey, what’s a “bald drug”? I go to a liberal arts college and I’ve watched the entirety of Breaking Bad multiple times, so you think I’d have heard of it.
As I waked over to he exit I couldn't help but notice the hawt pale guys musky eyes as they met mine.
Musk is a substance some male animals secrete for scent-marking purposes. The word comes from the Sanskrit for “scrotum.” Thought you all should know.
I locked away hurriedly. I smocked dope in the locker room for a bit then I wondered to my next class.
This bitch just hotboxed a locker room on her first day of school. 
I bumped into someone in the corridor and my bocks fell everywhere! FRICK! FRICK! FRIIIICKK!
Remember that this is the beta-read version of the chapter.
"WTF!" I screamed loudly, "watch where your FREAKING going you asshole!" (i have anger problems)
So you know how self-insert characters, particularly Sues, often have self-proclaimed “anger issues”? I wanna talk about that, actually, because it’s a trope I see not only in fanfiction but in published fiction, and it honestly bugs me.
In real life, anger issues are a totally legitimate character flaw, and one that can have serious negative consequences in-universe. A character with a bad temper may make rash decisions, screw up their relationships with others, have trouble holding down a job, get in trouble with the law, and so on; people who have anger problems are often mentally ill and/or traumatized, too, and the anger may be just the tip of the iceberg. Many morally ambiguous characters, well-written ones, have trouble with anger. There’s nothing wrong with this trope when it’s executed correctly.
In the hands of a less-than-competent writer, however, anger issues are the opposite of a problem, because the character’s show of anger will invariably cause others to back down or apologize and there will be no negative consequences. Writing a character who’s so sweet and charming that they always get their way has exactly the same effect, but as that trope falls out of style “anger issues” has taken its place and the authors who write these characters have no idea that they’re doing the same thing as the trope they thought they were avoiding.
Of course, this is the work of a troll, and the use of this trope is almost certainly intentional, but there are way too many authors who employ it unironically as a way to give a “flaw” to a character that even they realize is bordering on unrealistic.
"I'm so so sorry" he said in a voice like wet heaven "please forgive me my lady”
Author’s so fond of weird phrases that I have no idea whether or not “wet heaven” is intended as innuendo.
It was the hawt pale guy!
Dun dun dunnnn!
Next chapter
