Main Masterlist ⭐️

»»»»»»»❀«««««««

The carnival was packed at night filled with families, young couples, groups of friends at every direction all out enjoying the rides and food. It was the beginning of summer, so everyone that was everyone was here. You’d preferred to be out at night since it was much more breezy and dazzling, the sky had a beautiful contrast to the sparking carnival lights.

Walking past the twinkling lights you can’t help but look up at the sky past everyone’s piercing stares and murmured whispers. They didn't even bother to be discreet at this point.

Your family had just moved into town in time for your new semester in college. News traveled fast in this small part of Kentucky, you found that out rather quickly.

No matter the curious stares, random welcomes, and the occasional side eyes from some people it didn't bother you too much. It’s normal to be curious about new people disrupting this well formed bubble of a community. Given everyone here knows one another. It's not something you’re use to and probably not your most favorite thing ever, but it's your reality now.

You were the talk for the better part of the early summer.

Everyone knew your name, major, and where you came from by the end of the week. They might as well of have known what allergies you had. However no one really bothered to actually speak to you and get to know you that was until you went to orientation.

Enrolling into your new classes had felt isolating to say the least. You didn’t know anyone, you did try to have small conversations with people around you which was cut short. But you didn’t dwell on it, you’re here for a degree and then you’d probably leave right after graduation. Lucky enough your care free attitude caught the attention of one person, Charlie, who loved to gossip. Keeping you in the loop of who’s who, where to go for a quick bite, and even introduced you to her own group of friends. They were all like Charlie in the sense that they related to similar interests, mannerisms yet each one was so different and kind hearted. All four of them complimented one another nicely.

She wasn’t those stuck up people that made you feel bad or judged you for liking a particular thing, in fact she welcomed it. If it made you happy and did no harm so be it, she’d say.

After meeting her and everyone else it didn’t feel so lonely anymore. The whispers became one less thing to worry about. Eventually they became background noise, that was when you're with them.

Alone it becomes the one thing you can't ignore.

You came to the carnival by yourself.

Originally you hadn’t planned to go out tonight, but being stuck at home with your parent’s nagging concerns about choosing the “perfect” career was the last thing you needed.

They always made it a priority to be invested in your education, especially starting college.

You were grateful to that care, it’s not something you’d ever take for granted. Always bringing in decent grades, you wanted to make them happy and did as you were told. Yet, you’re not sure how far you’ll be stretched before you'd snap. You needed to escape the endless demands of which clubs you should join to get recognition or which professors to aid, on and on. It was becoming dreadful.

You know it comes from a place of love, wanting you to be secure and stable. Yet it was unbearably tiring.

So a night out was much needed.

You were swerving quickly past people under the twinkling yellow lights at each stand, the smell in the air was mouthwatering, you didn’t know your legs were pulling you towards it until the smell overpowered your senses. It tasted sweet like apples and baked brown sugar, and then blueberries with peaches right after. Searching to see where it wafted from, you decide right in that moment, before heading to your friends waiting for you at the Bull Riding bar, to head towards the spot luring you.

Mr.Daniel's food stand that had baked pastries was intoxicating the air.

Since you moved in Charle did give you the inside scoop on everyone, that included who Mr.Daniels exactly was. You came to learn that he was a respected kind man that helped everyone as much as possible in town, supposedly. Although you never really met the man, however you knew of his son. Jack Daniels.

Charlie showed you a picture of him, she called him the rebel without a cause. It made you laugh knowing that was the title of a James Dean movie, possibly even fitting for him. He even showed up late to orientation making a quiet entrance not to disturb the speaker. He was attractive with his black leather jacket that was slightly too big on him but it worked. What caught your eyes was the innocent look in his eyes, they were gentle.

Charlie had whispered to you, “All the girls want him, but he just messes with them. So be careful not to fall for his tricks.”

You didn’t quite believe her, judging by the picture and watching him sit near his friends he seemed like a good guy, soft dark brown eyes with short sort of combed over hair, as if he did it in a hurry and said fuck it. But then again looks can be deceiving, so you had your guard up regardless. Better to be safe than sorry.

Heading down the path, you looked to the side to take in how far it stretched. And oh boy did it stretch, it went past 3 food trucks behind you. You’re almost passing by the group of people at the front, sneakily you look at the pies between the space of each person in line. Each pie was perfectly golden brown around the crust and shiny in the center along with a toothpick that displayed which flavor it was.

The closer you got to the front the stronger the smell out of the kitchen truck became immediately signaling your stomach to growl. You really wish you ate before leaving.

As your passing by each person craning your neck with your lip caught between your teeth, a tall dark haired man steps out of the truck’s kitchen. You can’t see his face only his forehead and hair. People are moving back and forth speaking to one another, through the movement you see him place down freshly baked pies with his hands covered in mittens. That’s when you realize it’s him, Jack.

He shoots his eyes up at the people admiring and praising the perfect way the pie's crust are perfectly holden. Adjusting the display he quickly does a double take past the people in line to lock eyes with you.

Jack slowly analyses your face, maybe he remembered you from orientation, but you doubt it until he smiles at you as if he's known you all his life. It was that same easy going smile from the picture that barely wrinkled the sides of his eyes. You returned the smile committing it to memory, but that was it. You turned to keep walking reminding yourself about what Charlie had said, stay clear of him.

Last thing you needed was your parents on your ass going on about how guys are a distraction, you heard it once and that was enough.

You fidget with your sweater’s sleeve walking slowly though, he did seem polite. Is he really that bad as Charlie says?

Taking the risk you look back one more time for the fun of it, but Jack was no longer there. Instead your eyes are met with the delicious pies making your way past Mr.Daniels, who’s speaking making another happy costumer laugh.

“Hold on there Miss! You just moved in correct?”

You stop dead in you tracks, Jack’s father called for you. His dad? Why on earth...

Suddenly the people first in line were eyeing you down waiting for your response.

You press your lips together forcing a shy smile, “Uh Hello! Yes, yes I did.”

“Welcome! I’m Mr.Daniels, my son…” he looks to his right wondering where he ran off to. “Was just here I could’ve sworn he just spo-. Well anyways.”

He cleans his hands bidding farewell to who he was talking to and shakes your hand.

“Which pie would you like? I heard you might have a sweet tooth.”

Might? Understatement. You do. But from who? None of your friends are in line or around you for him to possibly know that. Word does travel fast here…

You step closer eyeing the pies shaking your head, “I’d love that. But I couldn’t possibly skip everyone…”

You’d feel like a bitch, everyone got here in time to make the line. It wouldn’t be fair. You just moved here, the last thing you want is to be the center of a pie scandal.

Mr.Daniels raises his brows, a spitting image of Jack. It warms your heart instantly.

He reaches for the pie cutter, “Nonsense. You’re new here! This is our treat.” He points to, luckily your favorite flavor of pie, cocking his head for your acknowledgement. Watching him slice into the pie you wonder who who exactly told him.

You thank him for his kindness and welcoming you into town as return heading to your friends eating the pie happily along the way.

Whoever it was, thank god for them.

In a few minutes you reached the Bull Riding Bar however, you didn’t want to enter right away. Everyone was rushing to get inside spilling liquor on the ground bumping into one another, it was where everyone in college went to have a great time. A lot of the people entering were students you’ve seen at orientation, enjoying their summer before classes started.

There was a group of people to your right heading to the bar that caught your attention with their roaring laughs and shrieks from girls trying to escape their partner’s kisses. That’s when you saw him again, Jack was walking slowly behind the group talking to a pretty red head. He was making her laugh not once looking at her flirtations, but with his hands in his jacket.

You had to stop yourself from staring at him, you detoured walking in front of the group trying to avoid them from noticing and bumping into you to throw away the plate and to take a spot on the fence.

It was breezy outside leaning on the fence you placed a leg on the wooden panel admiring the kids that were playing with the ponies, their parents were taking pictures of them. Each one watching them carefully pet the horse's beautiful mane.

You’d kill to be able to learn how to ride a horse you think to yourself crossing your arms on the fence to rest your head. You had just moved from the city so there wasn’t any time to learn, let alone an opportunity.

Often at times you feel at a disadvantage. A slight disadvantage. Only because everyone sounded so well trained, skilled with horse back riding meanwhile you barely even touched one for more than a few seconds. It was hard to bond with anyone. You vowed you'd learn one day. You have to, they’re beautiful animals. You feel like you could have a kinship with them, ridiculous as it is, horses somehow feel relatable. With their carefree personalities and free of any responsibilities.

You're not sure if it was the draft or something else raising the hairs on the back of your neck suddenly.

Lifting your head you get a feeling someone watching you watch the horses, but no one is around you. Just an empty fence with the trash can as your companion. It didn't feel threatening, but you take it as your cue to fix your outfit and start heading inside.

The bar was another place that was overly crowded. And not in the best way. You called Charlie to ask her where she was, when she responded she stood on the railing near the bull riding ring raising her arm almost falling over making you laugh.

They’re definitely drinking.

They were all next to each other side by side, leaning on the railing yelling to the rooftops for the person on the mechanical bull not to fall off and to keep holding on. You greet each of the girls who brought their partners, Charlie offers you a closed beer to drink.

Looking over Charlie’s shoulder at the bull rider, you find yourself cheering on for the person to keep holding. They had 5 seconds left to finish when the mechanical bull went into full gears throttling the guy off. He hit the mat so hard laughing, you figure it could be fun to try. Some people to your far right were even placing bets on those who stayed on the longest.

If you do fall at least you’ll get a laugh at it and get to say you did it. That is because, you’ve never done it before.

You poke Charlie and Oliver on their sides resting your chin on their shoulders between them, “Should I do it?”

You bite your lip anxiously, as they look at up each other before bursting laughing. Oliver wraps an arm around you, “That’s not your style, you’ll fall on your ass as soon as you step on the mat!"

You playfully hit his stomach, “Thanks for the vote of confidence jerk!”

Charlie laughs with along, “I’ll buy you beer if you can last 10 seconds on it.”

You raise your brows shooting a glare up at Oliver, “Oh well someone, at least someone believes in me.”

“I bet she could last more than 15 seconds. I can guarantee that.”

Oliver and Charlie dart their eyes past behind you raising their brows, Oliver slowly takes off his arm that was wrapped around your shoulders. You find yourself frozen at the sound of his deep southern drawl that came behind you. You hate to admit it, but you were excited to see.

You turn around feeling time stop just for you to see Jack Daniels, standing tall tilting his head to the side with his eyes glued on you, more specifically your body. In fact, he’s making it painfully obvious that he’s checking you out, only solidifying his "claim" when he shoots Oliver a glare.

You try to swallow absolutely nothing, cursing yourself for drinking beer.

“I’ve never done it before, so I wouldn’t bet on me if I were you.”

His eyes are drawn back to you at the sound of your voice, never once letting go of your gaze.

He furrows his brows together making a disbelieving face, “I’d bet on you gorgeous.”

Your heart thumps against your chest, you smirk at the nickname he gave you.

“Right..It’d be your loss.”

“Do it with me then,” Jack steps forward. “We can win it together.”

Charlie’s words were long forgotten at that moment, you wanted to give him a chance. Why not? If he’s game to teach you how to bull ride, what’s the harm? You finish your beer eyeing him just like he did to you. You’re going to need some liquid courage for what you’re about to do

Boldly you turn around to the front of the fence stepping on the railing leaning slightly forward on purpose to whistle sharply to the handler, “We’re next!”

Hopping off you catch Jack looking at you a little lower than he should be, but you don’t mind it. You softly tip his chin up loving the feel of his warm skin on your finger tips.

“Are you ready?”

“Only if you are darlin'.”

Standing behind the handler your nerves settle nicely stubbornly in as you’re listening to the ticker on the wall counting the seconds, before the girl falls off the mechanical bull. She's loosely hanging onto the horn of the saddle by sheer will. Everyone is yelling to keep holding on as they count down from 10, only to fall in 5 seconds.

Your next with Jack.

You feel excited going with him, but you don’t want to fall on your ass in front of everyone.

Jack notices your leg bouncing along with your hands tapping on the sides of your thighs, are you nervous? It doesn’t cross his mind at all that you’d be nervous, you had this confidence about you. When he spotted you through the truck's window walking by, you were ignoring every single glare focusing on the pies.

Instinctively Jack reaches down to intertwined his fingers with yours to be met with the same gesture giving him the go ahead to squeeze your hand.

“I’ve got you gorgeous. I’m not letting you go, I promise.”

You puff out air nodding up at him, the handler speaks pulling you both from your conversation.

“You kids ready?”

“We’re ready,” You nod stepping onto the mat still holding Jack’s hand.

You quickly search for your friends for some encouragement only to find them with their jaws dropped staring at you. Your eyes follow their direction down at your hand that’s still holding Jack’s.

Hastily releasing his hand, Jack clears his throat and raises his hand to pat your lower back getting your attention as he hops on first. Holding his hand out he guides you how to mount lifting you up and holding your waist firmly in place.

You hear whistles from people around gossiping at how close you both are, even your friends are in disbelief that you’re practically sitting on Jack. A well known player around town, you’d be lying if said you didn’t feel a little confident along side him.

Briefly eyeing the crowd you see the red head Jack was speaking to earlier roll her eyes whispering to her friend.

Automatically feeling bad thinking that you might've stolen her date or that he would’ve abandoned her.

Jack pulls you further back into him, “Listen gorgeous you’re going to have to get closer or we’re both falling off.”

Obeying his advice, you push your ass further pressing into his crotch turning back to him, “Your date seems mad.”

He looks down to you seeming genuinely confused, “What date?”

You scoff shaking your head, “The red head.”

“She’s not my date,” his voice darkens looking down at you, it sends a thrill down your spine. So he's not seeing anyone...

Jack reaches to hold one side of the reins while instructing you to hold the other side opposite of where his hand hard. You caress the leather strap in your hand warming it up in your palm to match his grip. You look down to your side to see his lower legs overlapping yours locking you into place, essentially stretching your legs a bit wider making you push further back into him.

He clears his throat loudly placing his hand on the curve of your thigh, “You’ve got this darlin’. Don’t worry it’ll be fun.”

Surprisingly you trust him, the way his thighs feel behind you, strong and secure. Looking down to his hand tightly holding the reins giving you the impression he’s done this before.

You chuckle, “This is ridiculous! But thank you for doing this with me.”

You would’ve never guessed you’d be here months ago. Pressed up against a handsome southern guy right before starting college. To hell with what your parents thought. Maybe you can enjoy dating and having fun, you might as well.

The handler announces he’s going to start the countdown.

“Don’t thank me yet sweets.”

Did he just call you sweets?

Before you could inquire on the nickname, your both jolted immediately forward and back feeling your ass rub against him. Secretly you liked it, wanting to do it more. You heard him yell for you to raise your arm up and to have fun bringing you out of your thoughts. Without processing you did as he said and focusing on the way you both moved together in a fluid motion. With 15 seconds left to hold on and moving together you start laughing hearing Jack curse every time you went back cause of gravity. His laugh started to come out at every sorry you bellowed when you hit his chest with a sold thump and your hair whipped him in the face.

At 10 seconds, Jack squeezed his legs pinning yours down to the side of the mechanical bull. You had to shift a little to accommodate which at this point along with the back and forth jolts that kept speeding up you were basically sitting on Jack’s crotch. He didn’t seem to mind it since you couldn’t get a hold strong enough not to slip off and take him down with you. You really didn’t want to let him down, so you squeezed your thighs tightly holding the reins for dear life. Those last five seconds went by so incredibly slow trying to maneuver the bull’s frantic turns from the side to side.

If you did happen to fall you didn’t care one bit, this was the most fun you’ve had since you moved. In a matter of seconds Jack made you feel welcomed and happy. He kept laughing long with you at every abrupt turn the machine made, at one point the turn was so fast both your hands touched that made his heart jump.

Everyone started to count down those last five seconds cheering.

Jack held onto you just like how he promised till you both succeeded, you slouched back on his chest resting your cramped hand on his muscular thighs feeling his arms wrap around your waist laughing. He rested his forehead on your shoulder somehow you knew he was smiling incredibly hard.

Exhausted he manages to speak, “I knew we could do it in 15 seconds, maybe next time it'll be longer”

Your cheeks burn squeezing his thigh, “Well aren’t you cocky? So sure there'll be a next time.”

He chuckles patting the sides of your ass which you take as your cue to hop off. Swinging your leg over is absolute pain, you feel the strain of each muscle and weakness trying hard not to wobble waiting for him to dismount.

Jack reaches for your hand providing stability, “Listen sweets, I’m not the one that was sitting on my crotch pressing down.”

You bit your lip laughing up at him, he loved seeing that shine in your eyes.

Exiting the bull riding ring, Jack leads you both to the bar area to get celebratory drinks together. He lets you sit on the one stool available, most likely noticing how tired your legs were from holding on. He stands behind you with one hand resting on the bar table while the other signals for two beers. You find yourself loving being pressed to his chest, like he's shielding you from everything bad in the world even the constant whispers.

You turn your body slowly to look up at him from under your lashes slowly opening your legs for him to fit closer between. Jack steps forward titling his head down a little using his arms on the table to balance himself. He finds himself a bit shaky in the knees watching you look up at him with those eyes, the same eyes that looked at him earlier with such joy. He needed to get to know you.

He leans forward barely touching your forehead testing the waters with you and what you'd allow from him. The bartender already placed the beers behind your back, but they were completely ignored.

“You called me sweets earlier, why?”

There was no possible way he wasn’t the one that told his dad to give you that pie. The gesture itself made you ignore everything Charlie ever said about him, he could’ve just stayed with the red head if he really wanted to get laid or flat out ignore you. You just wanted to hear him say he thought of you in his own way.

His eyes darken staring down at your lips, he shrugs “I had a feeling you might have a liking for sweet things, I noticed you eyeing it, and you looked like a sweetheart..”

He looks down at your body biting his lower lip smirking, “But something tells me you're not just a sweetheart...”

You grin raising your hands that were resting on your thighs up to the line of his jeans hooking a finger in the center teasingly side to side, eventually bringing him in closer slowly, “That was a good guess. I do like all kinds of sweet things. Sweet candy, pastries, even sweet guys that help you learn how to ride a fake bull.”

Jack holds back a deep groan from hearing you say that about him. Everyone in this town thinks he’s no good which isn’t true he’s not a kid anymore, but people here don’t forget. They’re always waiting for him to mess up, but with you it’s not like that. He wants to know more about you, but right now all he cares about is what you taste like. He's desperate to kiss your lips, feel how soft they are.

Watching him lean closer you lick your lips in anticipation taking in his cologne that further draws you to his lips.

With all the noise around you both vanishing, all you cared about was Jack.

You reach up to feel his plump lips meet yours, kissing him you feel him moan savoring your taste. Jack loves the way you still have the lingering taste of the pie you chose and the beer. It's as if the combination was made for specially for him with your lips in mind. He roughly growls wrapping his arms around your waist at the feel of your hands grip his hair.

Parting slowly away you both come back to the reality of where you are. You chuckle wiping off your kiss from his lips with your hand that he catches bringing it up to his lips, kissing your knuckles noting the strong grip you have.

Jack reaches for the beers opening each cap handing yours smiling as you both take a sip.

“So you told your dad about me huh?" You asked playfully raising your brows.

He rolls his eyes grinning so hard that the corner of his eyes form small creases.

Without hesitation he asks if you’d like to meet him to which you happily jumped off the stool agreeing to the idea. You tell your friends you’ll be leaving for the night letting them know you’re okay and will talk to them tomorrow. Heading back to Jack’s dad you both walk silently together with his arm lazily wrapped around your shoulders dangling and yours holding on to his waist.

This time you both pay no mind to the whispers and glares of people walking by at the carnival.

Only having eyes for each other.

thoughts on marelliana?

- pyro

(im writing rn for the marelliana ship week so theyre stuck in my head ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡)

an excellent ship, pyro! also good luck with your writing! i've briefly seen a few mentions of the ship week, but I don't really know what's going on with it so i hope everyone involved enjoys it.

they both have very strong personalities, so I could see them getting along loud, if that makes sense. like there's just so much going on between them like electricity. they each stand apart from society in one way or another (biana and her scars/status as a younger sibling, marella as a pyrokinetic), and they're both used to being talked about

they could bond over their pasts and being the center of attention and drama when they didn't want to be (note: marella's status as the girl with all the gossip who knows everything anyone's talking about may be related to all the talk about her mother and family life and a need to monitor and know what's going on, but that's unimportant rn).

I do note that Biana specifically tried to get invovled with Black Swan stuff and Sophie's secrets, asking her to trust her with whatever she was doing in regards to Sophie. Biana made the active choice to fight when she could've ignored all that and retained all the benefits elven society bestowed upon her as a precious Vacker. Marella, however, was more forced into it. She was thrust into this battle because it directly affects her and her ability to life a safe life. Her ability is forbidden. It's either accept all these rules and limitations against something she can't control (another note, I think it would be interesting to see Marella use everblaze and be like...the first person to properly control it, if that makes sense. I remember Fintan describing it as wild and chaotic, difficult for even him to control (at least when he first used it), but for Marella to have a more mutual relationship with it like Tam does with shadowflux would be interesting).

More about their relationship tho:

Marella feels like an observant person, sitting back and watching things happen, always aware of everything in the room. She'd notice everything about Biana, from the color she lined her waterline to the threaded details of her tunic. There is nothing about Biana Vacker that escapes her notice, yet there is always something more to be discovered.

Biana is a confident person, able to take strides and make moves where others would falter. While Marella is sitting on the sidelines, waiting impatiently, Biana is pressing forward and making the opportunity for herself.

I would be curious to see how Marella's past of being "not like other girls" (with a pointed look at Biana) and only hanging out with guys would translate into their relationship too. Any lingering resentment over Biana being handed everything on a silver platter (as if they aren't all filthy rich) while all the drama about her family was so negative.

i'm getting distracted but overall: i love them, your honor

#i can hear someone scrubbing the shower through my walls rn #why they being so aggressive #calm down #anyways #i think there's a lot of potential in their dynamic #neither of them feels gentle #not like a lot of the other ships #which makes them stand out #they aren't rough #just not quiet #kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc ships #marelliana #marella redek #biana vacker #quil's queries #nonsie #pyrokinetic-loser

hello enderwalk arg people

so i saw a cool thread from @/ranbeans on twitter and it inspired me. so naturally i spent five hours straight analyzing ranboo’s lore playlist

basically i think it’s a timeline of c!ranboo’s life, and it fits kind of eerily

everything’s below the cut (and it’s a lot) :]

prologue from starkid

- more clock references. it’s literally just an instrumental of a clock ticking

- instantly you think of the ender text in that pic he tweeted. like that, this could relate to dream’s clock, or foolish’s clock (reading 10:33 always iirc)

- note that butler in tales from the smp: masquerade kept staring at a clock

- it could also mean a theme of running out of time, or fighting with time

- in the thread i linked, the person also points out that there are 23 clock ticks in prologue, and angel number 23 means that you are meant to be a servant

- this would be his beginning

introduction to the snow by miracle musical

- the first of many songs from the hawaii: part ii album on this playlist

- i’ve seen that album described as an arg and i find it funny if ranboo just went no. my arg now

- introduction to the snow only has one verse, and the rest is instrumental

- the whole hawaii album has themes of loneliness and death, especially loneliness for this song

- it talks about feeling isolated, which gives hints about his childhood maybe?

- the “you’ll live forever tonight” lyric also gives off a hopeful vibe, like that of a child

dream sweet in sea major by miracle musical

- starts with a changed reprise of introduction to the snow

- "Rather than trying to “live forever”, it seems that the time has come for something else" from the analysis of the first part in genius

- odd because this song is meant as a finale to the album, but it's towards the beginning of the playlist (could mean that there was almost an ending of sorts early on for c!ranboo, like a near death experience?)

turn the lights off by tally hall

- okay this one confused me when i was first going through, but when the timeline started coming together it made more sense

- about adolescence, and being uncomfortable with growing up, so it fits with the timeline playlist theory

- also about phobias and stuff like that in a way?? hm

the mind electric by miracle musical

- the song starts out in reverse, then plays the stuff from the beginning normally

- feels like a rls honestly i wish he could use this song

- it's about someone put in an infirmary and condemned to electroshock therapy because they're insane. fun

- this is where the timeline started to come together in a way. as soon as i saw the mood get darker i remembered ranboo’s line from the festival i think? “don’t let it happen again” or something like that

- because of this, if the timeline theory is true, at some point before he joined the dream smp he did something which caused him to be condemned

- also this

- the mind electric isn’t the only song where the narrator glorifies themself in a way, we’ll get into this later

- also the rejecting fanatical views,, i am thinking about that theory that endermen are servants to the ender dragon. if c!ranboo rejected that, the consequences could have been awful

live and let die by paul mccartney

- if i wasn’t sold on the timeline theory before, i am now. after the mind electric, the mood changes drastically in terms of ideology and theme

- this specifically made me say “holy shit” because like. that verse means that when you’re young, you’re open minded and say “live and let live” which resembles the optimistic but lonely attitude of the beginning of the playlist

- but then when the world fucks you over, you begin to say “live and let die.”

- “live and let die” i take to mean as him no longer caring about the people around him. how before, he wanted to help others, but then the mind electric happened, and he just. stopped caring

- fun right!! /s

ruler of everything by tally hall

- there are so many clock and time references in this. we get it

- "mechanical hands" when it says “mechanical hands are the ruler of everything” refer to hands on a clock, saying how time rules over everything

- the narrator is talking back and forth with time itself in this, which is interesting because i believe he joins the dream smp in the next song

- the narrator appears very insecure and looking for a quick way to appeal to everyone (like how c!ranboo at the beginning was trying to be everyone's friend)

- this is the second song with the narrator glorifying themself out of insecurity. what are you trying to tell us about your character buddy

- also we can’t ignore this shit

- i don’t need to explain why this scared me right. right

merry go round of life from howl’s moving castle

- this is a change huh

- god i haven’t seen this movie in years, but i saw looking it up that it plays at the beginning introducing the main character, sophie

- this is before everything changed for her

- maybe this is when he joins dream smp? and ruler of everything is him talking to dream prior?

- or maybe im reaching who the fuck knows

- but him joining dream smp to this song would make sense. it feels like a clean slate and starting over, which would match with how he doesn’t. y’know. remember things

- which begs the question: if ranboo forgot everything from before this song in the timeline, and after that i’m assuming his memory issues started,, what happened to cause this?

- i’d say the mind electric could have caused this, but it was awhile back in the playlist. so whoever he’s talking to in ruler of everything, which could very well be dream, i believe messed with his memory somehow.

killer queen by queen

- c!ranboo girlboss arc canon??

- i got lost here ngl. it has a very specific vibe that doesn’t match well with what i know of c!ranboo im sorry

- but two songs later, i get a hint kind of which makes me believe this could be him burning george’s house with tommy

- also this song is a banger and i’m pretty sure he put it on there to scare the crown arg people because of the “baroness” line /j

mr. bad guy by freddie mercury

- literally just more funky villain vibes. i love this

- no more angst only girlboss

- since cc!ranboo has said he doesn't want to do a villain arc, i take this to maybe be how he sees himself?? credit to the crown arg discord for that idea they’re smart and cool

- if that is true, i’d say this would be another song for the “glorifying oneself out of insecurity” list because the narrator is like. seeing himself as cool and The Bad Guy, even if he might not be

- possibly the butcher army if the next song is what i think it is

ain’t no rest for the wicked by cage the elephant

- i have been informed someone saw ranboo listening to and grabbing songs for this off of a playlist called "my villain arc" king i hate you /lh

- in seriousness: the song is about how the world forces people into wicked roles for money. i am getting live and let die vibes, like how both blame the world for making them not care/do bad things

- c!ranboo take responsibility for your actions challenge /j

- this definitely reminds me of how when he gave techno his armor, he blamed it on peer pressure. if this aligns with that event, the last two would be burning george’s house and butcher army i think

i can’t decide by the scissor sisters

- this is probably about enderwalk

- i really hope it's about enderwalk

- did mr ranboo commit murder?? manslaughter?? sir

- i really feel like this is enderwalk or ive forgotten something

stardust crusaders from jjba

- thank god for jjba fans, i know nothing about this

- apparently this is the main theme for jotaro, who's power i think?? is like moving faster than time

- and his main villain thing is dio, who's power is stopping the flow of time

- and we're back with the fuckin time references

- this is pure speculation at this point, but maybe it’s like. him fighting against time in a way, which would draw back to ruler of everything

a mask of my own face by lemon demon

- the song is about not wanting to take responsibility for their actions again

- c!ranboo i am begging

- specifically this lyric

- also this lyric draws back to the bidding, in which the singer wanted to be enough for someone and showed almost narcissism as a sort of "mask"

- also just. mask can be correlated with dream or the masquerade, where the butler stared at the clocks

stranded lullaby by miracle musical

- been awhile since we had a hawaii album song huh

- and,, a memory reference.

- that lyric is talking about forgetting things

- the rest of the song is,, im not saying time traveler ranboo but time traveler ranboo (look at this post about that theory by my friend pspspspsp)

- he's talking to a "you" this whole time, and i have no idea who it is lmao

- there are mentions of dreams and stuff throughout, so i almost want to associate it with the prison visit, but then i think the next song is after the festival so i guess not?

- might also be him losing the memory book

hidden in the sand by tally hall

- this is, lyrics wise, a song about a man whose girlfriend left him for someone else and he's upset

- but if you look at the music video, it shows a cruise ship, on which people are friendly with each other at first, but when it starts to sink, they turn on each other trying to escape

- i am feeling a connection to c!ranboo's views on "choose people not sides" somehow

- i feel like he's called people selfish in lore, but my friends and i are all ranboo kinnies so we cant fuckin remember. if he has, then yeaH this definitely correlates

now i’m here by queen

- there's a very optimistic and nostalgic tone to this

- this one’s barely annotated on genius so i don’t have a lot for it, but i feel like it's after the dream voice disappeared or something? timeline's gettin a little funky

- it could also be right before the festival, as he used optimism as a shield there

& by tally hall

- this. yeah. & deals with opposites, especially good and evil. the singer talks about how everyone sees the world from their own perspective and doesn't look from another

- and that definitely ties back to how ranboo wanted l’manburg people, like tubbo, to see from techno’s perspective

- i feel like this is right after the festival. it resembles a lot of ranboo's speech from then, where he basically told everyone “sides dumb. just vibe”

- and then the outro changes tone, almost like a warning?? which. yeah. a warning to choose people not sides before doomsday, or else they won’t be able to stop l’manburg from being blown up

i’m gonna win by rob cantor

- this song is about someone fighting their inner demons

- sounds familiar!! looks directly at dream voice

- specifically, the singer is optimistic about winning their fight with the inner demons

- it seems kind of chilling to me though, but it's also late at night when i’m doing these notes so it may just be me

- if the timeline theory is true, this is where c!ranboo is mentally atm, which tracks honestly

=), an unplayable track

- ranboo why do you hate us

tl;dr: ranboo’s songs that he would use for lore playlist might very well be a timeline of c!ranboo’s life, from even before dream smp and that’d be super cool

if you read all the way through this just know i would die for you

anyways feel free to drop your interpretations of the songs in the notes :0

#salem.txt #enderwalk arg #ranboo #mcyt #arg #dream smp #holy shit i spent like 5-6 hours on this #also some of this may be reaching because i am sick and also wrote half of this late at night JSKJBSKJS #i really hope i didnt forget anything lmao

𝙨𝙚𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 –– 𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐲 .

every morning evan woke up to a london sky that refused to let the sun in ; summer was drier than spring , but the clouds seemed to linger year round . . . not that she minded . she had , after all , grown up in county dublin , where things were always a bit damp . still , the lack of COLOR could be draining . . . so she searched for it in unexpected places , creating little pockets of color for herself in a rather grayscale world . golden lights strung on her balcony , isla’s bright red hair and matching smile , an array of bright letters boasting NME lining a wall –– covers from past decades , a rainbow rubik’s cube next to her keyboard , two framed photographs perched on her desk . the first seemed like forever ago , a beaming eloise with a twin on either side ; beck on the left , evan on the right , both planting kisses on her cheek one valentine’s day years and years ago . the second was more recent , backstage at a show in galway ; kieran sat in his chair with his fingers intertwined with evan’s as she draped her arms over his shoulders from behind , chin resting on top of his curls and a smile that looked SOFT compared to the goofy one ruairi wore , looming behind her with his chin on her head . she felt warmth every time she looked at them , but there was always a tug in her stomach . . . the undeniable feeling of something missing . she found her little pockets of color , but they still seemed muted without the people she loved –– the PERSON she loved .

their schedules had begun to clash –– and evan hated the way she was beginning to get used to the dull ache of his absence . distance had been a part of their relationship for months , but the time zones were killing her . they couldn’t always make time for hours wasted away on facetime ; she couldn’t always fall asleep to the sound of his voice on the other end of the line . they were both where they were supposed to be , chasing their dreams together , separately . . . but evan was beginning to wonder if the path she was on –– the desk , the deadlines , the distance –– was actually what she WANTED . there was a lack of creative control at nme ; she was a part of a greater whole , confined to a desk when she wasn’t out in the field . she felt restless . . . bored , almost . and with her most recent deadline met and a job of her own –– evan connely , sans nme –– waiting at the end of the week , she was distracted .

“ WHAT are you doing ? ” isla popped up behind her , coming out of nowhere to look over her shoulder .

“ jesus , ” evan startled , nearly dropping the plastic puzzle in her hand , “ where t’e fuck did you come from ? ”

“ charlotte’s office . answer my question . ”

“ playing wit’ a toy , ” she held up the half solved rubik’s cube , then let out an audible sigh as isla looked unimpressed , then jutted her chin towards the computer screen , “ trying to put together a mood board for t’is gig i’ve got wit’ saint valentine on friday . ”

perfectly shaped auburn brows raised , “ we got saint valentine ? ”

“ no , ” evan’s lips lifted into the faintest smirk , “ i got saint valentine . ”

“ you’re bloody joking . shut UP , ” isla gasped , rounding to her side of the table desk , just to roll her chair around , “ and you didn’t fucking tell me ? ”

“ no , because you couldn’t keep a secret if you tried .”

“ well that’s because it shouldn’t be a fucking secret , ev . this is fantastic , ” hazel eyes widened with excitement , “ so you’re shooting them for –– . . . ”

“ t’ey weren’t too explicit about it . i know for certain i’m covering bot’ shows at t’e o2 , documenting t’e whole thing from t’e moment they get there , ” evan huffed a curl away from her face , nodding to the screen , “ and t’en a shoot on site at t’e venue . so i’ve got to work wit’ what i’ve got . i’ve got ONE chance here , and nicky haven scares t’e absolute fuck out’a me , so i can’t blow it . ”

“ nicky haven scares EVERYONE . it’s part of his charm , ” isla leaned in , making herself perfectly comfortable in evan’s space as she took the mouse and began clicking through different ideas opened on photoshop , “ let’s see what you’ve got so far –– . . . ”

“ isla , it’s not a big deal . really i shouldn’t even be working on t’is HERE , right now . it’s not exactly nme related stuff , you kn–– ”

“ i TOLD you she was here today , ” a girl called sophie , who manned nme’s front desk in the mornings , materialized on the other side of evan’s desk . a junior writer , andrew , was hot on her heels .

“ soph , now really probably isn’t the best time and it really isn’t your busi–– ”

“ someone’s got to show her , ” sophie was , admittedly , obnoxious . and coming from EVAN , that was a feat .

“ show WHAT to WHO ? ” isla’s voice changed in tone , taking on a hint of authority as she looked at andrew , “ aren’t you meant to be doing some social media research right now ? ”

“ i WAS , but –– ”

“ but we’ve found something that evan HAS to see , ” sophie . again .

“ we ? ”

“ ME ? ” evan said in tandem with isla , brows lifting as she clicked the final piece into place on the cube . she glanced over at isla and felt a strange twist in her stomach when she saw the redhead had gone rigid .

“ is this about –– ”

“ rebecca stringer , ” andrew nodded solemnly , as though evan was supposed to know who the hell THAT was .

“ better known as BEX , ” sophie added .

it was evan’s turn to go rigid . her back straightened , and it felt like ice had just been shot through her veins . truth be told , she was more worried about conflicting schedules lately . . . not the way bex sing-songed a shortened version of kieran’s name . . . or the way she answered his phone and simply couldn’t remember who evan was . . . or the way she’d made sure evan could hear her promise to personally deliver kieran to his hotel room that first night in los angeles . it wasn’t exactly PLEASANT being reminded of the instinct that she’d shut down , intuition telling her something wasn’t quite right there . her brows pinched together as the rubik’s cube slid from one hand to the other and back . she glanced over at isla with a prompting look .

“ we’re . . . doing a piece about nepotism babies in the industry , and she’s a PERFECT example of one so i was having andrew look into the way she interacts with fans and her socials and what not . she’s one of like TEN people we’re looking into , ” she explained with an apologetic look . it was then that she turned a sharp eye to andrew and sophie , “ don’t know what THAT has to do with evan , though . ”

“ see for yourself . ”

“ SOPHIE . ”

“ what ? it probably isn’t even new information for her , ” she shrugged , reaching over two monitors to hand evan a phone . twitter was opened to a profile with bex’s beaming face in the icon , but the handle wasn’t hers . she gave the pair of them a skeptical look before glancing over at isla who only offered a half - hearted shrug . it didn’t take long to see what , exactly , sophie had been talking about , a slew of tweets and retweets .

bexupdates : bex & kieran pulled up to the venue together . . . and then left at the same time . why are they lowkey so cute annathefound : not bex wearing a baby tee version of the found’s merch . . . stanning her boyfriend just like the rest of us

ruairidailyposts : ok wait are evan & kieran even dating anymore bc i could be down with a bex & kieran moment cheerupbailey : @ruairidailyposts you know two people can have a relationship without posting about it right ??? they’re in separate countries rn lol

babybexxx : i just think that bex & kieran walsh as a power couple .

bxhq : no offense but bex is simply so much better for him than some rando from ireland like what thefoundupdates : @bxhq babes they LITERALLY grew up together ????

totallyconan : be honest do u guys think the reason evan isn’t on tour with them is bc they’re not together anymore like she literally never misses shows

adamfitzupdates : why are y’all so obsessed with a relationship that doesn’t concern you ??? chill bexlevitates : @adamfitzupdates bc it’s weird that evan knew him for so long and only started dating him AFTER the found started to get big like that’s shady

bexupdates : find someone who looks at u the way bex looks at kieran on stage wtf did y’all see that

newruleshq : no waaaay this man has a gf when he and bex look so good next to each other LMAO

thefoundupdates : according to the girl who wrote the article kieran literally WALKED OUT on the interview ??? rockstar behavior but also hope he’s ok

evan could’ve kept scrolling for hours as her heart rate began to rise and rise . the crease between her brows deepened , and she reminded herself of everything she knew to be true . kieran LOVED her . twitter was a BRUTAL place . it was as though the worst parts of her subconscious had come to life in 280 characters or less . her head began to swim as her heart sank into her stomach .

“ what does t’is –– . . . ” her voice cracked , and she cleared her throat , finally looking up from the phone screen , “ why , exactly , are you showing me this ? ”

sophie looked as though she was shocked by evan’s question , “ because i’ve dated musicians . . . and like HALF of those are in bex’s likes . which are public , by the way . just doesn’t seem subtle to me . ”

“ are you trying to insinuate something here , sophie ? ” her tone shifted , irritated as she handed the phone back .

“ like i said , i’ve dated guys in bands , too , and –– ”

“ enough , ” isla snapped , “ you’re sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong . BOTH of you should be off doing your jobs right now , so , run along . ”

both of them scurried off without a word .

evan was still for a moment , but her fingertips were itching for the keyboard . she was no stranger to things like this , unkind words from strangers who didn’t LOVE the idea of her –– despite not knowing her . the good outweighed the bad on the internet , but the voices who didn’t like her were always the loudest . even BEFORE she and kieran had gone public with their relationship . . . even before they were ever in a relationship at all . over time , she’d learned to tune it out and focus on the kindness that flooded her comment sections and mentions . . . but every now and again something slipped through the cracks . . . and when they did , she absorbed them like a blow to the abdomen . they settled into her memory and cemented themselves there , tucked away until they found the perfect moment to make her self conscious . like the fan who had commented on the shape of her body before and after going to uni . . . and another from galway who made it their business to let everyone know she’d slept around while living there . . . and every time someone said she wasn’t good enough for kieran or any of them . that she had bad intentions , leeching onto the boys for fame . that her career was based SOLELY on the four of them .

if she caved and kept scrolling , she’d commit it all to memory . . . everything that made her intuition about bex STRONGER .

instead , she launched forward and snatched the rubik’s cube back up , immediately distorting its perfect faces and mixing it up again . it was good to keep your hands busy , she knew , when your mind began to run away .

the worst of it wasn’t even TRULY comments about their relationship . . . those hurt , but they didn’t sting quite as bad as real - time updates about kieran and bex showing up or leaving venues together . she dulled the pain by reminding herself that THREE other boys were never too far behind . that kieran would never . . . COULD never . . .

but then again , there was the tweet that weighed heaviest in her mind . kieran walked out in the middle of an interview , and he hadn’t told her . something rattled him to the point of his version of an outburst , and he hadn’t told her . that seemed like something he would have told her . . . it seemed important enough , she thought to herself , right ? RIGHT ?

her throat felt tight , and she kept running the tweets she’d read over in her mind . there was a deep furrow in her brow as she looked down at her hands , still vehemently mixing up the toy . something felt off kilter . . . but she couldn’t pin down which hurt more : the slew of tweets from people pretending to know what went on in her relationship . . . or the thought of kieran doing something as rash as storming out of an interview –– and then not telling her .

“ i didn’t know about t’e interview bit , ” she said quietly , eyes still trained on the colorful cube . she was certain her face was the opposite , color drained .

“ evan –– . . . ”

“ it’s fine , ” she said firmly , “ it’s probably not true . just like t’e rest of it isn’t true . ”

her voice sounded distant . . . and she wasn’t sure if she was trying to convince isla or HERSELF . clearing her throat again , she set the toy back down on her desk and scooted towards the computer .

“ i’ve got work to do , ” she said quietly , getting back to the monitor . though all she wanted to do was go home . how many more people thought that she wasn’t GOOD ENOUGH for kieran ? how many people thought someone like bex was a better fit ? how long would it take for the suggestion to become potent enough to make the people who KNEW them question it as well ? and if kieran had walked out of an interview , WHY hadn’t he told her ?

she glanced down at her own phone screen , hoping that maybe she’d missed a text or a call . . . but all she got was nothing . nothing but the words she’d seen written down , now cemented in her mind : bex is simply so much better for him . . . because SHE was there , wrapped up in the same world he was in . she was accessible . immediate . beautiful .

and evan was stuck in london with nothing but time to wonder .

I got tagged by @lunaticonice to post 10 photos in my camera roll to describe myself. Do you know how hard it was to only pick 10?! Also right off the bat I’m a horrible speller and really bad about not looking at what I’m typing. So I make a lot of mistakes and auto correct is my worst enemy but my best tool in spelling so sorry for the mistakes.

I have a really good green thumb. Most of the succulents you see I’ve grown from leaves. I’m a proud plant mom

I like to diy stuff and refurbish furniture. In this case old palettes that I sanded down repainted and made into my bed. Im really crafty and like to draw and repaint stuff or repurpose things(that includes clothes). The thrift store is my best friend!

I’m um... extremely lucky. That Moped is a prize I won at a manger meeting for my job that I wasn’t even supposed to attend. My manger was out of town so I went in her place and won this thing. And it doesn’t stop there. I’ve been to multiple conventions where I want to meet youtubers or famous people and somehow I do it effortlessly. Like ask my friends I literally said one time, as we were leaving a con, how I was sad I didn’t get to see a youtuber before we left and we turned the corner to go to the parking garage and BOOM! That youtuber was there heading to the convention. Not to mention at my old job at the hotel I meet contless NBA players and singers all the time. Like you wanna meet someone famous hang out with me.

I took a class on Video editing because I wanted to try something new and maybe start a YouTube channel. But now that I took this class I actually want to try and shoot to be a video editor for The Dallas stars. Because I see the intermission videos at the games and think, I can easily do that, why am I not out there doing it. So that’s my goal for 2020. Have enough of a portfolio to try and get that rolling somewhere.

In this picture I was in Pittsburgh for a Stars game go figure and found a out door skating rink around a Christmas tree. I don’t like Christmas that much my family runied it for me but I love winter and all things related to it. And I’ve skating is one of my favorite things to do. And this moment was magical and the best part of the whole entire trip!

This picture is a double whammy because picking just 10 was hard. I’m putting this on here because I’m so proud of how far I’ve come at makeup. Like I’m not beauty guru good but I’m getting there. I love doing my makeup, especially eyeshadow, because it gives me a chance to show the world my artistic skills. And I loved this look especially because I wore it to pride. Because I’m bisexual 🏳️‍🌈

I love to travel! Especially spontaneous trips. When it comes to me and traveling I’m more of a go to the place you wanna go then figure out what you’re doing as you do it kind of person. Like my first major trip to Colorado I drove 9 hrs from Oklahoma to get there had no plans other than I have to be back in a week. In fact I was actually supposed to go to Arizona and Utah for the majority of that trip! I only went to Denver just to see the mountains. But I loved Colorado so much I stayed the whole week. I booked hotels as I went and even slept in my car on the way back. This picture was taken from my last trip to Colorado at the first of November And the only plan I had then was to go see the stars play, then I had five days to do whatever else i wanted.

& 9. I’m a proud mom of 5 beautiful fur babies who couldn’t all be in one picture because the cats hate the dogs! It’s actually a miracle that all three cats where in one photo and that happen today! In order from left to right you have Prowl the cats grey one shoes the oldest (10) and hates the dogs but love the other cats. He runs the show around here and my friends call him Mob boss. Next is Hope the youngest (2) she is also the most destructive cat I have ever had, in more ways than one. She chews on walls, scratches furniture, destroys blinds, she even scratched the cat tree so bad that she tore a hole in one of the posts and made it collapse. She’s also the only animal I’ve had that had to have a major surgery (she got he tail shut in a door and had to have 2” of it cut off). She likes the dogs though. But she also destructs the balance in this house. (We has two cats and two dogs. Two boys two girls, perfect balance before her) Because the cats next to her, Sparkel (5) hates her. They fight constantly so that’s why it’s a miracle they’re laying next to each other. Sparkle also tolerates the dogs from a distance. And now my puppies. The pure breed husky is named Sophie (6) she’s a husky in every way If you have huskies you know. She’s also the mom of the half husky half lab Snoopy (5) the happy accident. Snoopy is special. He’s the only animal I have had since birth and it might sound corny but we share a special bond because of it. He’s a certified service dog and an all around good boy that has the best worst traits of both of his breeds. If I could take him with me everywhere I would. And this section has gotten way to big so moving on to number 10 -

I’m a Stars fan.

And I’m currently mad at them right now so catch me waxing poetry about them on another day.

Yeah so as per usual I ranted long enought about myself.

So yeah, now is the part where I tag other people to do this thing. If you’ve done it before I’m sorry I don’t know who to tag so... @xr-ox @otter-solutions @darthbenn @bisexualtylerseguin @saucerfulofsins @my-adequate-blog @stupidsexyseguin @jakeoettinger @captainpetty @beckygs

#me myselfie and I #long post #personal #bless y’all for tagging me #hockey #sad yeehaw boys #this is my tag for when dallas looses #or #the stars at night are not big and bright

This.....is the 1000th post on this blog, and I definitely waited until that could be true to post it, and that’s honestly? Very fitting. Seriously, you guys are a m a z i n g and I have literally never done a milestone before so I can’t tell you what it’s supposed to look like?? But we’ve somehow Miraculously (tm) managed to reach 100 followers and - anyway, this is going to be me very unprofessionally gushing about everyone because....I love you all and you’re all amazing aaaaaa. I’m??? Literally so blessed to have made friends and write with all of you. Y’all with multiple blogs, I’m only tagging once so I don’t spam your feed ok? And - as usual, this is going to get Long, because everything I do gets Long apparently. I tried to do it chronologically but IDK how well it worked oops.

THE LOVES OF MY LIFE, THE SUN IN MY EYES, MY MOON AND STARS

@ccrrupticn / D!!!! you are?? literally the reason I made this blog?? Without you, this thing would n o t mcfreaking exist omg!! You’re such an amazing writer (seriously, you manage so many muses and you give them all such distinct voices??? witchcraft???) and also so ???ridiculously kind! I love gushing to you about our Kids and you’re honestly A Saint (tm) for dealing with all of my blog construction/life related breakdowns, my crazy crossover headcanons and crashing into your inbox rambling about musicals <3 I miss talking to you so hmu whenever you come back if you want!!

@personnages / Lynna!! You’re like an Actual Angel. I think you were the first person!! who talked to me?? And You were So Nice and Welcoming that you literally soothed half of my fears coming into rpc like immediately?? You basically helped me figure out how diminutives work and you’re responsible for me adding at least 3 of my muses and I cannot tell you how much I love you and every time you pop onto my dash/feed/discord/etc, it just makes me happy inside <3 Definitely 100000% will follow you to every blog (if you’ll have me lmao) regardless of fandom!! i’m super excited about all of our ship/friendship roulettes and you’re just an absolute joy to talk to.

@nikolacvnas / LYDIA goodness you are a W O N D E R. Probably the best? Historically based blog I’ve ever encountered, and definitely one of my favorite parts of the Anastasia rpc!! The care and research and attention to detail that goes into your portrayals are a s t o n i s h i n g? Your Tatya is divine, your Maria is So Lovely and I Cry For Joy that you write Dima honestly. I’d been eyeing your blog for a little bit before I made my own - and I was honestly a little scared of you when we started cause you are a GODDESS and I am a potato, but then we talked??? and you’re hilarious and a ridiculously kind person and I love you? And of course, I love your dog (the cutest in the universe).

@mythostold / LESLIE~ Different blog, same story~ Man, I’ve been following you since maybe day two of this blog being active? No matter which fandom you end up in and which muse you write, you have such!! good!!! takes!!! For one, I love reading your meta posts??? Like you’re just so incredibly passionate about your muses?? And your writing style is so good aaaaaaa it’s so atmospheric. And on top of all of that - you’re??? such a sweet and incredible??? person??? And I love talking to you boo <3

@lifeawoke / NAT BBYSWEET <3 <3 <3 I have told the story of how I did a victory dance when you followed me to d e a t h probably but it’s t r u e your writing is amazing and your blog is amazing and y o u are amazing! You are the Natasha to my Sonya, and literally every time you send me a musing I’m like immediate-goofy-grin-heart-eyes???? It’s honestly a crime we don’t have more threads but like you’re an absolute joy to talk to and meme with and I adore you/your portrayal of beautiful bratty Natasha even if she drives my Sonya up the wall <3 You are Definitely the Funny Mutual lololol I crack up so much talking to you <3

@valianceearned / CARP you’re an amazing person/writer and holy h e c k am I impressed by your OCs!! They’re all so well thought out and developed? Your bios are so detailed and so much love and care is put into all of your characters. And your writing is so Lovely and it’s also very aesthetically lovely like holy heck the amount of work you put into both the content and the formatting? I am agog, I am aghast!!

@gearsandlevers / Callie!!!!! YOU ROUND ALL THE CORNERS I STRAIGHTEN THE CURVES!! love your kids so much. Your Violet is a delightfully clever and likeable kid, your Evan might have literally walked off the stage two seconds ago, and you’ve put so much thought into your cinnabon stoner Henry. Your dialogue is amazing and I love our headcanon sessions lobbing ideas back and forth with you!!

@spareisms / HEY MAGGIE GUESS WHAT YOU’RE WORTH MELTING FOR!! You’re like the sweetest person alive??? How are you an Actual Real Life Disney Princess?? Your Anna is so well characterized and multi layered and I love how she an be so flawed but so brave and just how human she is. I’m very excited for your Anne Shirley too!! You’re a great writer (and a super sweet person aaaa) and I love you!!

@gcneralvaganov / Deanna, I have just one question: How? Have we only known each other for like 2 months???? It feels like my dash would literally be incomplete without you?? You play such deeply complex and incredibly flawed muses with such a great depth of respect and humanity. I love all of our AUs (we.....probably have a dozen by now), our long fix-canon tangents, and....look the inevitable conclusion to this whole thing is that we should....basically just write Anastasia tbh???

JT Anon - Ben & Sophies creepy PR marriage

ah yes of course we get this lovely little story right when Enty says there’s a weird contract between Ben and his totally totally real for love not profit wife. Because love matches have public relations contracts and publicity arrangements in place. oh wait, whats that i hear in the distance? nans drooling as they shout “he is just supporting her any good husband would do that!!11!"

I actually agree w our slobbery pals, it would make perfect sense that a supportive husband would be thrilled to use his resources to help promote his wife a la a family brand! its a little odd considering he has never shown for any of her work. i mean, the guy couldn’t even be bothered to show up for a literal 14min show. doesn’t exactly paint the picture of a man starry eyed for his wifes brilliance

i think people are rightfully disturbed by the way in which this arrangement has ben hammered out. theres a creepy, kinda dark bubbly underneath this, isn’t there?

when we were all laughing that sophie had pals who helped her get attention, that was just kinda sad. this is not sad. this is disturbing.

how incredibly creepy is it that bens pr has been instructed not to simply promote their stars wifes work, but that there is a caveat that this promotion MUST immediately follow any publicity ben gets.

i mean, we didn’t need Enty to tell us this, we’ve seen this pattern so much that its become a running joke. we count down the days to a sophie article after ben gets any shine. it seems now its w/in 24 hours that we get some new tidbit

i say that this is creepy and dark because, think of the type of discussion that had to take place between the two lovebird for an agreement w this specificity to come to fruition.

The reason that i find this whole publicity thing creepy is that…it makes no sense unless Sophie is actually resentful and hateful w regards to bens success.

It makes absolutely zero sense that ben would demand such a convoluted arrangement from his PR w regards to his wifes work. It just makes no sense. Lots of celebrity wives kinda become demi celebs off their spouses. Wives get book deals and fashion lines hosting gigs and modelling jobs all the time (see Leos entire dating history).

its this demand that she get equal amounts of publicity w in a certain time period of Ben getting publicity that has a sinister vibe to it.

the only reason that anyone would want that specific of an arrangement is if they were resentful of the other party getting attention. what other explanation is there for this exact sched.

because sophies calendar is hardly booked in a way that required time sensitive publicity, you know what i mean? for example, its not like she has a play coming out next month, so why exactly did she NEED that interview released IMMEDIATELY after ben did a charity event?

all of the press sophie has got in the past year has absolutely not required that it come on the heels of attention for Ben, so why not wait a week or two?

Only someone who is jealous and resentful of the attention ben gets would have this specific caveat in place. its completely unnecessary. they could easily mention ben in her copy to make sure it gets trending. i mean they went so far as to put "wife of benedict cumberbatch” to get people interested in her, right? add a hashtag, i promise you, all the same people reading about his charity will see her thing also

under what circumstances is this request appropriate

“Thank you honey, I appreciate the support! Just one small thing, I need you to make sure that I get the same amount of media mentions you do, even if I don’t have any active projects, and I must get media attention anytime you do, ok? thanks love!"

I dunno about you all, but thats…creepy. its creepy. it just simmers w jealousy and resentment.

can you imagine being married to someone who resents your success so much that they make demands like this? because why else would she even think to add this in? why would a tit for tat arrangement even cross her mind?

its got to be so unnerving living w someone who is so simmering w jealousy and resentment over your success that they go so far as to, rather than receive bens help w grace and love, make sure there are rules so that ben doesn’t get a single stitch of attention w out her getting some also

im not w other skeptics who diagnose people over the net, but i will say, this is creepy creepy creepy. it really, to me, makes sophie out to be terribly unbalanced imo. only an extremely fragile and jealous person would ask to have it set up like this

poor ben. he has worked so hard to get so far. the wonderful career he seemed to be building is not exactly on fire, and now his team has to extend its resources making sure his wife gets just the exact same amount of publicity he does, and it must be ready to go w/in a few days.

I can’t imagine living w someone so unbalanced and creepy and clawing that they would even think to have this sort of agreement in place

Ill just leave you w this, since my gf reads Annas blog (hey there girlie ;-) . She just got a wicked wicked promotion at work. Not only is it a really big jump, but its history making given who she is. she is telling everyone who will listen (rightfully so) all about it. family, friends, co workers, the deli guy she sees all the time (reasons).

under no circumstances would i tell her that while she is rightfully boasting and enjoying her moment after a lot of hard work, that she had to mention and talk about something im working on.

it would also never, ever cross my mind to quickly follow up her story and joy w my own story just to make sure i was also getting praise and attention

why? because i love my partner, and im proud of her work, and i love it when she gets positive attention. i love it. im not jealous of it, and i don’t have any desire to ride her coat tails and sponge off her.

sophie, on the other hand, cannot seem to stomach ben getting praise or attention. otherwise, why have this sort of arrangement?

J I hope ben mentions this in an interview and desperately tries to make it out like this was his idea T anon

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I have to say I disagree with you JT.

I don’t think it’s jealousy or resentment that drives the re-re-re-re-re-re-introductions of Madame Fetchless within a couple of days of Ben getting press of his own.

I believe it’s nothing more than making sure Weirdo’s pieces in the (progressively growing in obscurity) media outlets will get maximum exposure. If people are interested in a piece of news surrounding Ben, it only makes sense to attach his wife’s re-introductions to that piece of news within a brief timeframe, so that people will be tricked into reading the articles re-introducing her to the world as well.

Anyway, I digress.

CONGRATULATIONS on the big promotion JT’s girlfriend!!!

so, i recently hit 900

i just wanted to make an official thank you to every one who has followed this blog. to anyone who’s ever read my work, to anyone who’s reblogged one of my moodboards or sent in an ask. thank you. this blog would not be as much fun without all of you guys -- i mean it! i’m here talking about three grown men who eat on the internet.

i also wanted to take a moment to give a quick shout out to the friends i’ve made along the way, something that would not be possible without this blog as well. (nor would this blog be possible without steven, andrew or adam -- wow.)

@moonmccoy al

my soul twin! (hey, soul sister, hey that mister mister!) we have so much in common it’s really scary. you are such an artistic person and a blessing to this fandom (and to me!). thank you for listening to me rant about colin firth, james bond or anything, because i tend to rant about a lot of things i like. which, in turn you also like. funny how that works out. can’t wait to one day see a bloody big ship with you!

@sapphicshego tony

my exception to the leo curse! tony you are so fun to talk to -- about psych (lassie, am i right or am i right?), about boys (and i guess for you girls as well! i’m here for all sorts of crush talk), how friends should have ended and basically, anything that pops into our minds! rip #bagelboy chit chat though. i’m glad you’ve kept me around through your blog shift, it means a lot :”)

@bergarass nina

you were one of my first worth it mutals, which i cherish so much! i was new to the fandom and i had like, twelve followers, when you? (it must’ve been you) messaged me. i can always count on you for quality asks, beautiful standrew content and discussions. and hey, we’re not that far away you and i -- that’s promising!

@virgoempathy genie

honestly, who doesn’t fall immediately in love with you? you’re so kind. not only do you probably live a mamma mia esque life but you also make time to entertain me with jake gyllenhaal pictures and answers as to why i’m like This (thank you astro queen!) you’re just so cool, i can’t say that enough.

i also want to give a huge and warm shoutout to the worth it bunch who welcomed me into their lives and have to deal with me telling them about my weird andrew related dreams, promo-ing angsty one shots and just generally disappearing for weeks on end. (sorry if i miss a few newbies in the chat too, i’m gonna shout out the people i’ve talked to since the beginning -- no hard feelings!)

joy @fancybois. keanna @stcndrews / @boys-and-ghouls. lucy @unsolvedbs. pheebs @leiasreys. seb @lavab0y. sophie @buzzfeedworthit. plus sophie and shan (i can’t rmbr your url’s im sorry -- please message me them to add)

and another warm shout out to:

tessa @ilnyckj. @raakxhyr. billy @stanndrew.

i hope i didn’t miss anyone. thank you again for 900.

-jess

am i valid for url meme...

Send Me A URL and I’ll Respond With My Opinions… / accepting

Roleplaying/Writing

My favorite muse(s) of theirs and why: Bamboo Rice will have a special place in my heart because I love big ol’ dorks whO WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE PEOPLE/THINGS THEY LOVE. And Bamboo was really the one I got to know and we were able to somewhat extend conversation about him :’D.

My favorite interaction/thread of theirs: Any time Xander literally opens his mouth and everyone else has to reply like “NO” and he’s like “YES.” I really just love how your general interactions can literally terrorize multiple blogs/fandoms in one successful swoop, no matter which character it is. I only know so few of your characters but I can tell this is something that has happened frequently with the others.My thoughts on their unique characterization/interpretation of their muse(s): what do you mean tsun isn’t Bamboo’s writer? And Boston Lobster’s? And Xander’s? Why am I being fed these lies? However, there was one thing I noticed that I adored and that was the fact you really brought in actual and plausible headcanons that make sense in relation to the character’s upbringing and what they have and may not have experienced. IE: I remember Bamboo being mentioned (by you) to be illiterate due to their surroundings and being deep in the forest. As strange as it sounds, people really don’t go that far down into detail and I appreciate it. My thoughts on their writing style as a whole: You know that meme where Gordon Ramsey says “finally, some good fucking food”? That’s literally me when I see any of Tsun’s posts, IC or OOC. I just like reading their stuff and being intimated by the writing in a way that pushes to me to go back to my more serious writing times. Also don’t get me started on their meme ANSWERS, IM HONESTLY RECOVERING FROM SEVERAL ON XANDER’S BLOGS, DON’T @ ME IT READS LIKE POETRY - Situation(s)/Plot(s) I’d love to see their muse(s) in: HMMM… I would like to see Xander in an AU where he properly is a king of a land, even if it is through questionable means (which may be slightly OOC); I do think your Sengoku M. muses will have a god damn fun time in a deity-based AU. Lmao, and if you have doubles, you can always mimick the Evillous Chronicles series with like twins (Daughter of Evil, Servant of Evil, Regret Message, etc.) because those are fun times :3ccccSomeone else I love seeing them interact with: @box-of-characters and @cirocchio ; no questions about that. No matter which character, it IS THE FUNNIEST THING TO ME. Anything else I want to say about their roleplaying: So how the hell does a gem like you stay hidden for so long? What’s your secret? Why keep hidden?? I’m going to have to hold you high in the air for folks to realize the quality that is you as a writer.

If We Know Eachother

What I Think Are Their Best Qualities: Can deal with my bullshit, has the shitty sense of humor like me, and doesn’t find me annoying. Tsun just really knows how to get the dash working and chat with others, making a whole group experience that doesn’t exclude anyone. Tsun also takes heavy consideration and stuff when writing for characters and trying not to insert his midwestern twang in otherwise very regal mouths. Seriouly, though, I think his best qualities will alwas be the way they’re able to frame their characters’ emotions and always involve movement with them, making a whole scene play out. It isn’t stagnant, it’s always flowing, like a river.What I Think Are Their Strengths: Can laugh and tolerate my horrible fucking puns. It’s just super easy and comfortable to talk to you and get to know you! I say that not only are you an amiable personality, I really do say that at the end of the day, you care for your fellow roleplayers much more than writing partners and more as friends. This is beyond writing that I’ll consistently gush about but, I get that you’re an all around package who brings your A+ game and only deserves the best. A Memorable OOC Interaction Of Ours: How…how do I choose one?? I usually send him very cursed things over Tumblr IMs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=120HFjKPuJ4) and we’ve explored the realm of what strange things seiyuus sing. Every OOC interaction is memorable! Why Others Should RP With Them: It’s really hard nowadays to find roleplayers that really care for their characters but also know when to mess around and not take them as seriously. With the addition in being dedicated to building their characters and open to new and exciting ways to interact, I don’t why why you aren’t following yet. Also, he helps me cope with the stupid and long novella replies with eveN BETTER ONES SO, YOU GOT THAT BONUS. How Others Should Approach Them: Maybe it’s me and I see that it’s really easy to message people like a moron like “he-hewwo??” But, I always say drop into Tsun’s messages and drop a hello! I always say it’s better to drop in to meet the person first rather than their writing. It helps build bonds! Other Roleplayers I’d Recommend To Them: @vacuitas ; I think both of your multimuse blogs will greatly mesh well together and with Kat’s blog backstory and OCs should really be explored and you got some interesting personalities on both of your blogs that can either get along or hate very much! Anything else I want to say about them: how you haven’t gotten tired of me yet and the weird things I’ve sent you is beyond me– But, Tsun, you’re a real sweetheart and know how to bring a smile to my face without realizing it ;v;

If We Have/Plan To Interact

A plot I’d like to write with them: ANYTHING. ANYTHING. just honestly throw me ideas about AUs and I’m like butter, easy to melt and get into things. *steeples hands* If there’s any way I can make a character suffer at the expense of one of mine getting hurt or being mean, lmk :eyes:. Maybe hm… “Asselin you’re not a demon and those horns are totally fake - what the bloody hell. No I’m not going to stop pulling these horns these are NO way real ” AU. A muse I want to introduce to them: Natsume from Enstars. Just trust me, just trust me you will love that little shit and he’ll fit in with your crowd and he curses people like a fucking moron please I LOVE HIM… Since you like characters in trashbags, but I want you to have a variety, I can also bleed in some of my Mogeko charas like Shirogane (a scaredy cat wolf) and Battler Ushiromiya from Umineko (he’s a man who defies meta to solve the murders of his family that fateful October 4th, 1986). Also Phantom from Maplestory, I …love him to bits, he’s amazing. He’s gorgeous, he’s powerful, tends to not take things seriously is a phantom thief but I …oh god I love him so much : ‘ ) A ship/broship I’d like to propose to them: Xander/Sophie’s dynamic is amazing, I love when the bourgeois and the peasants argue. I’m also glad that their relationship can translate on different levels but there’s always that call-back to bickering yet support. If I can propose another, uhh– I really like Bamboo/Spam as a friendship and Boston/Spam as a mix of plato/romo (not too sure but I really liked their differences, i can see it as a “grey” area). UHHHH… Asselin/Sophie looks like it could be a god damn trip :tm: bc a servant of satan of a witch sounds all sorts of chaos :3c. A thread with them I’m excited about: CHISANA THREAD, CHISANA THREAD! GIANT ASS DRAGON INDEBT TO WITCH AND HE REGRETS TURNING HUMAN BUT THEN HE REGRETS TURNING BACK AND … YEAH. Anything else I want to say: God has forsaken you since you’re my friend and I hope you realize the path you’re now down wnjdfksnfdsj/.

ATOTS

That's super fucking romantic? Like tragic but in a nice way. i love that shit. i'm a monogamous slut for romance pghiosuag even tho we have to learn to live alone too but it's just like the NOTION is nice?!??! awwww i told my mom that SOPHIE's gf was like "she died taking a picture of the moon" and how it was like idk. the gf was just processing it and she thought it was romantic and my mom was like "wow.....depressing" bc think she thought it was stupid millenial shit i was like no mother doent u see she died in the BEAUTY LMAO but then i told her jessica walter's husband died the year before and then she died and she was like "aw...kind of romantic" LMAOOOO i guess two people have to die. why did i tell this story? i am so sorry. the show ended today right (ep 10?) i didn't realize it was that short. so i hope it was a happy ending? (tell me) i understand why you love the atmos! it's like, not really been done. there's this BL that i hear isn't too great but it does take place in a rural part of thailand and there's way less budget. a lot of ppl seem to like it. ep 6 LW / LW in gen gotta be honest, rushed through it. i knew spoilers from jump cause BL spoilers are just absolutely nothing and sometimes ur just like i need to know. i do not understand the ~silently lookin 4 u~ trope it always backfires and is also DUMB. so happy about tiffy. a girl who likes girls but ends up with a man bc of mommy and also the man is ok....it's me. she's gorgeous and actually [h*lf] gay so it's great. god ok i feel so old again. lmaooo but i was like obsessed with lady gaga for that reason (dont ask...also how i got kinda popular on tumblr way back in the day) and shes just absolutely fucking beautiful and bad ass. (which kind of doesnt helpcos they r all skinnty but that's FINEEEE) right? i mean like i guess cos we knew abt it? i can see why he was so pissed off, too? i mean i'm so fucking like...sensitive to being told what to do so i was angry for him from jump. i guess i was also looking at it different wholetime cos i knew the spoilers? i'm assuming u did too lmao. so we knew hed be pissed and leave. and frankly that's what sib gets. just for you my friend i will watch it and update. i think MANY times in shows in gen but it is something you notice a lot in BL bc they are just absolute novices most times. in this case, gene's actor mostly well (and i like him as a person just cos he was on that thai 3 girls in a car show and used to date on eof them lmao) can act so i will look over that scene to see how sib's actor plays off him. but the pausing in between sentences or for so long even decent actors or actors doing better. kao is not bad, not great so they will talk slowly because dramatic acting but the problem is most times it's too long. even if the person is an adept actor it won't always work and YES THEN THAT MEANS THE EDITOR COMES IN AND SNIP SNIP SNIP! it's too long. and sometimes it just does not work even if you can act. but it is GLARING when they cant or are average (someoe said this about tharntype and my god lmao tharn..is...so...slow...in...talking...the actor idk his name it's one of em, the other one with the nose (type) is....different not better but he certainly does not talk as slow. they arent bad but they are not good so.) also sometimes they are forgetting their lines. some ppl find this charming. clearly we do not lmao. what is their relation? what is going on there? i don't have a problem with stepbrothers as long as they didn't grow up with that sibling bond. many times blended families really have to watch out for that kind of fraternizing but it's always when theyre older and teenagers bc they didnt grow up w/ each other....i mean they have chemistry so i'm whatever. but. hennYYWAYYYS.actually it's bc im an idiot i didn't read it as Mhok (singular) and aey's father. Yes and his sister who i think i may hate? im like bitch okkkkkk but. his name is lhong. and he is a psycho. i mean so is type. so. oooh it could be that he stole! but also i'm pretty sure cos hes gay lol or did they

not make that explicit? the thing is i had to skip through most of that scene too because the drama was WAY too much for me. too much. lmao. the sister thing i got and it made sense and iliked that. oh yea he is gay and they know. that's a big one.

WBL

haven’t watched color rush! did you like it? i have seen wyel, parts of mr heart, and ofc to my star :)

ohhhhhh ok. i get you. yea he definitely wasn’t being ooc cos i think that....what u said. and also like....ugh i cant even think rn. i like sam lin a lot so i like gao shi de but i gotta say. lmao. hm. first of all. yes it is creepy what he did. it’s fucking weird. and sad that his whole life revolves around him. it’s not as fucking weird as LW but still like when he did the door thing. i was like UMMMMMMMMM cos i really didnt want it to be constructed. and when it was i was like imma suspend my disbelief. but if anyone dared...

and so what he did in s2 i think he just couldnt realize that he was loved back which is why it’s good he WAS ALONE for 5 yrs imo. but he gave shu yi 0 choice and for that i am pretty sure i would be even angrier. i do think though that the father’s role is pretty important but i can see how the show is like....letting that go? bc as fucking weird as GSD is, he was still like...20? i guess and shu yi’s dad is like. crazy? i am also like he really had to fucking start a company to get noticed like are u joking? is it also that easy? and also why? lmao i just. ugh. i think that probs bothered me the most...priorities.

i like the show! well idk if i love it but sure. i think it’s decent lmao. i understand what you’re saying. for here it bothers me less but i certainly don’t think it was OOC. immature and stupid but like...that’s.....what they are. i also don’t have a problm with the timing from a technical point.

however, when i started the show? i had NO clue what concept of time it was. and that was very annoying. tehy redeemed it bc of the comedy aspects (the first time shu yi sees shi de is so fucking good, i really loved the shot and editing; it’s hilarious and silly) and i started to go with the flow of the show through that. but the fucking concept of time in the show in general esp with repetitive outfits (i understand that they are more likely to wear multiple outfits as well, it’s just that you have to split it up or it i sconfusing visually and looks like the same scene twice or just a full day of shooting which it could be but then something should change in the clothes. this is just an ex~~*~*) and partof that is they have this already controlled narrative i guess.

i have to admit as well...i skipped episode 1. and most of 2. i was like i rly dont want to see someone slap a pereson even if they were like. not together. it’s just not cute also not in front of ppl. and then when they were yelling and bla bla i was like listen ladies lets calm down. too much angst in a boring way. what they have now is good. also they should probably like estrange the father but i doubt they will.

i cannot make up my mind totally now bc i see what ur saying i guess i just don’t feel that way as much but i guess i have to think about it more, too. i do think he was contorlling in getting him or like when he didnt want shu yi to find out whwatshisface liked him. i guess for me it would be if he is still that way in the rship. but even tho he’s at fault for what happened, i’m also like but his dad? but also like...did he try? why did he just stop contacting? but then i guess he emailed everyday? DO U C MY QUANDARY.

alsoi have to say i do not care abt their backdoor being opened lmao like wow business? no thanks

LMAO. did they cry a lot in UWMA? i only know the teamwin parts. which one is fluke the really pale one who died? idk what it is about that kid but i just cant watch him. it’s not his fault it’s mine.

DUDE i still dont understand the husband and wife thing and ive looked into it multiple times. ive kinda just classified it as one of those things that make me uncomfortable but arent problematic lol. it you have any insight about it id love to hear it tho !!

it’s stupid. that’s what it is (husband and wife.) it’s just something they say like many gay couples may use pejoratives in conjunction with them, the f word etc. or even imply something about being a top and a bottom. whatever. but these arent gay spaces or gay storylines. sure gay men may direct them but since BL operates and relies on patriarchy without a doubt and also stereotypes poorly kathoeys or won’t cast trans women in anything substantial and use them as jokes (and see this is one of those things where it’s like...ud never see this in the US tho like our concept of third gender or kathoeys but life stillBOOOOO.) so it’s just useless when they put it into the scripts because it’s for people to consume and lots of girls are. obviously. so the idea that if you are being penetrated and u r the wife and this is used like literally anywhere but not from gay or whatever men is gross. are cis women’s vaginas sieves to them? are trans women not women? do we have to categorize people by PHALLIC OBJECTS IN OUR BODIES SPECIFICALLY A WOMAN? it dont make no sense. plus really most ppl just experiment, there’s more ways than one to have sex, we have lives so most times it’s not just full penetration for hours anyway. it’s just so gross. like oh that’s really funny lol ur the wife cos his dick goes in ur butt XD i get it, same. i say “i’m wife’ whenever there’s a penis in me. fucking kill me. it’s not a big deal but it’s just dumb and gross. if they use it they could try and subvert it too like i like how my engineer has a whole absurdly stupid episode about it. but in TT the dad says “if ur the wife i wont accept it” and i was like u know what gals? im good. goodbye.

pgojaihousgajigko THAT’S SOOOOOOO OOWIEOFUGHOIJ WEIRD. FANDOM IS REALLY WEIRD. i have read rpf and written it once upon a time but dont do it anymore uch. i mean it’s weird. no doubt about that. invasive, weird, strange. but very unreal anyway. it is. plus i dont like celebs or fame and think of it as a gross capitalist scheme so i had to stop (also so weird?) but i know very many people like lean in. lean in. LEAN IN. this youtuber i watch did a video on like insanely popular ships (like that 1d one) and their insane fandoms and i just couldnt. it’s so embarrassing? and then they’re so bold????? about it?

yea it would be cool (more queer men or visibly we should say or like out whatever.) but it doesnt necessarily mean that will be good or beneficial i guess? i mean like. i dont know. so much about the genre is about wish fulfilment for young girls. its literally selling some fantasies because the other thing is for BL (i read a paper on this...) esp for girls in more conservative societies they cna maybe replace themselves in the character? but they may not feel a threat as a woman or like their life will fall apart if they engage in sexual things with anyone really. and that’s where i’m like....for a lot of these are they just writing a story and just replacing two men? bc they also seem to think it owrks like that. and in a way that’s what it is bc of the writing and how they use certain terms. you can tell the piece is about pushing a product and less about the real affects of a story. i think ITSAY is a great example of a really intelligent great piece of work that contains multitudes. and the girl was amazing. it just depends on the goal. and for most of the ppl the goal isnt...to do anything. so i dont know. idk how to talk abt representation anymore. it both is and isnt.

i really liked tingting from my engineer a lot (idk if u have seen) she’s so fun and unapologetic. i love how much she drinks and if someone tells her to be ladylike she says no. and i appreciate that in the show when girls were rude to her she said nothing about the girls but said “NO IM NOT LUCKY TO HAVE ALL MALE FRIENDS?” i really want to see her more in the next season. obviously tiffy is goat. super excited to see how their rship develops.

#we best love #lovely writer #we best love fighting mr 2nd

ok i gotta rant

a very very very specific rant

if uckin

the

im writing a paper right/? on some oldass greek texts. the kind where you find em for free online on a PDF no strings attached and you go ‘oh thank god’

so im at end of paper

which is on how its important to have translators that are women in the field of ancient greece and rome bc its 99% white guys and that sucks

i go to easybib my sources

one of em

aeschlyus’ agamemnon

the male translator i found to compare was something something chappell

i’m looking and looking

and looking

and i can’t find this guys credentials he doesnt seem to exist what the hell

this is not good bc i have a whole point about him and archaic language becoming cumbersome and shit

so im on fucking academia.edu

very sketch

and listed on the same PDF as a co-creator

‘Sophie grace’

that’s the username. just ‘Sophie grace’

that’s not good. who the fuck is that.

so i go to her page and it turns out she’s ‘Sophie grace chappell’

im like great! his wife or sister or something, i bet there’s links to his stuff from here that I can use to actually cite this fuckin thing

but there’s not

there’s absolutely no mention of any male relation to Sophie grace

im going all pepe sylvia on this

and then i read part of her description

‘Chappell maybe be the first transgender British person to translate x work’

and i go

oh fuck

I DID NOT IN FACT FIND A MALE TRANSLATOR TO COMPARE IT SEEMS

so fuckin

i cant

i have to delete this whole paragraph bc it’s made completely irrelevant bc its supposed to be comparing a male translator to a female translator but it turns out it is NOT! fuck!

like i go off on chappell’s writing style (which I will still say sucks, no one in their life has ever referred to a guard dog as a “watch-bitch” that’s just not a thing, sophie grace) and say all this shit about the male gaze

and then it turns out that wasnt the male gaze actually it was just mediocre translating

fuck

so now my paper’s shorter

im glad you’re living your truth, Sophie grace chappell

but i really hope your translating skills have improved

tbh im probably gonna look up her later shit just for funsies bc now i want to know the story and more importantly i want to know if she ever revised her agamemnon translation bc i’m probably being unfair

tldr look up your sources for citation before the day your paper is due, bc sometimes sketchy PDFs you got off the internet are very out of date

ok well now i know that im going overboard but redundant. redundant is supposedly the key to all of this, the thing thats out of place, but what does it mean. and its how you used it, too.

does its pairing with 'secrecy' imply the need for no more secrets? if we're going with my previous theory (since thats the only one i have right now) it could mean that bronte and oralie are asking sophie to dig up old secrets and bring them to the light- to not let them be secrets anymore?

but then how does that tie in to the next part of the message? "secrecy and redundancy compose the toolkit of those trying to hide"

AND WAIT HOLD ON- does the word 'compose' have something to do with the 'melody' oralie was talking about? will sophie have to create some kind of melody or key to something?

but back to the previous part, how does it tie in to the next part? is the 'those' in this situation referring to sophie and her friends? or is it something or someone else? is it referring to the neverseen? or maybe even the council or black swan?

and there's something about 'sweet' in oralie's message that's off. something that just...doesn't sit right. and the focus on history...something about sweetness and history....

and the answer to "infectious light" exist in canon but...what is it? i havent done a series reread in a while but i just might if it means i get to figure it out.

then unmapped stars are elementine, marquiseire, phosforien, lucilliant, and candesia- does it have something to do with that? or maybe with some of the publicly known stars? or does it have to do with the three sources? maybe that would be more likely...

but what does it mean. what does it all mean?

- pyro

(i am losing it over your au in the best way possible. this is so good and thank you again for writing the wings au.)

i don't know if redundancy is the key to everything, as each part of the riddle contributes to a different aspect of the answer, but I think the redundancy part stands out a little more than some of the others, perhaps. I will be honest I thought the redundant part was a little more obvious, but I'm pleasantly surprised that it's giving you all so much trouble!! since I know the answer, I kinda lost track of the difficulty of the riddle, so it's really cool to see what you think of it!

and it's right beside "s

ecrecy," so supposedly the two of those go together. secrets and redundancy. redundancy and secrets. perhaps some people use redundant logic to help keep their secrets, avoiding giving anything new away. as councillors, they likely have access to old secrets and hidden things--I mean, that the whole point of the caches, to store secrets--so there's a variety of things they could be trying to clue her in to.

and these things "compose the toolkit of those trying to hide." is it literal? is there an actual toolkit somewhere that she needs to find? is someone literally in hiding? does she need to hide? or is someone hiding from themselves? or is it even a person at all? maybe it's just symbolic of something else that's trying to hide away from the light. maybe the secret is "the darkness in the world." there's so many ways we could take this.

i think that ties in to your queries about "those" and who it refers to. it could be anyone. its a very vague word use, which is undoubtedly going to give sophie some trouble. I will say part of the answer to at least part of who "those" are is within the riddle, if you can put together the clues.

and then jumping quick to the "compose" and "melody." they could be related! they're in the same secret message, and none of it really means what it appears to, so there's so many ways they could be incorporated into each other.

but back to the other words! "infectious light" and "sweet" are two of the words essential to the meaning, but they stand out partially because they just don't sound right in the sentence. but it's the meaning behind each of them that creates the answer, I couldn't have one without the other. it's a combination of Bronte and Oralie's messages that give all the hints. we could also theorize that "history will have something sweet to say about you" could be referring to Bronte as history, and Oralie as sweet--those are the characters types they kind of fit in to.

infectious light, my beloved. I drew this from canon, but there's a lot of glowing things in canon so there's a lot it could be. we do know that each of the unmapped stars has a different use, which Mr. Forkle listed off (and which I added to the wiki a while back so you don't need to reread for that !!). but there is also the three sources, which seem pretty essential to elven society (despite being introduced only eight books in)

*in jack, the pumpkin king, voice* what does it mean, what does it mean!! I hope i've at least given you a little more to think about without giving anything away too much, because all your theories are really interesting!! there's a lot I'm planning to do with these few lines so I'm really excited to get to them in the story

#just have to actually write the story #oh and you're welcome for writing it!#but also thank you for reading it!#it wouldn't have gotten this far without all the support so i'm really glad to see you've still stuck around #the wings au is just so !!#I never expected it to get this much attention #but it's so cool that you like the story as much as I do!#because I want to keep making it better! and more complex! and bring in old characters!!#so many possibilities #kotlc #kotlc wings au #wings au asks #keeper of the lost cities #shattered upside down #quil's queries #pyrokinetic-loser #wings au theories #wings au riddle #long post

Things I love about you:

The way you’re always there for me

How when you find something funny and relatable and your eyes get kinda big and you get this big goofy smile on your face and your voice gets a little deeper and you say “me” let me tell you that makes me so fucking happy

The way you compliment me randomly

The way talking to you makes my whole world brighter

When you tell me you're proud of me

The way you put up with all of my bullshit all of the time

The way you constantly insist I’m not bugging you

Those nights when we stay up talking until two am

When you read and you get really into whats written and you start to rock back and forth like a mental patient

When you sing to me

Those nights we stay up just text and its not about anything in particular but its amazing

That we’ve been friends for the past two and a half years and you’re still able to tolerate me

Your low key racism

When you call me babes or love or anything else

When you call me mom

The way you make me feel so loved

When I get really sad about the future and my life and you’re there to calm me down and talk me through it

The way your head pops up and you start singing when I put on la vie Boheme

When you read to me

When you get super mad when I’m on my phone and you’re trying to show me something

How you’re the best older brother in the world

How hopeful you are (sometimes)

That I can actually be myself around you

How happy you get over the little things

The eyeroll and subsequent hang up when I make a pun

How you actually make me cry so easily because of how much I love you

That you would actually like to plan to meet me despite everything being in the way

When I get a text from you while I’m asleep and I wake up the next morning to see it and you’re the first thing I wake up to

How kind you are

How smart you are

All the times I have almost gone off the deep end that you’ve helped me back from

When I get sad and you’re always the first person I can talk to

how much you love Sophie

When you sing and it gets too high and you just like say “fuck” and stop trying

When you don’t respond for hours because you were with your puppy and she’s the most important person in your life (which is good)

That you call Kyle your best friend

That you tease me

When you move your hair the wrong way and it looks really stupid and you don’t notice because you’re in the wrong tab

That you call people on their bullshit

That you don’t have a lot of friends because I’m so much friend it’d be bad if you were super popular

When you get really passionate about something (which you do every few months its really cute)

That you’re really good at making cards

Your bracelets (especially the one I gave you)

When I genuinely get to make you laugh and you look really happy at least for a second

Your super dramatic reenactment of rent (“what are you staring at?” Are still the favorite words you’ve ever said to me)

Your jokes

When you laugh over really stupid shit and I’m pretty sure you’re actually mental or some shit

Just because

How proud you are of your leg hair

This may be kinda sad but that one night we were face timing and we were talking about ******* and you said that you thought you were in love and in retrospect it was really wrong and sad and shit but in that moment you looked so happy and your voice was faded just like it does and you looked really nice and it was just a really nice moment the way I remember it

Im gonna get arguments on this one but how attractive you are

How you always say you’re going on a diet and then. Week later never do

When you let me know when you’ll be busy because you don’t want me to freak out

When you let me buy you things and spoil you because I genuinely do love you and want you to have things and be happy

That despite feeling like this you’re trying to hang on and you’re planning a future and you’re honestly trying as hard as you can

When I try to text ****** again and you get mad at me and tell me how bad she is for me and I know I protest but It makes me know you really want whats best for me

That day you refused to talk to me till I had eaten because you knew I needed to same reason as above

The asian jokes we make about you

I almost forgot how proud of me you are when I do something like when I graduated or when I got accepted and you were so proud

That you’re honest with me about when something is wrong rather than hiding it to spare my feelings

How into video games you are

Your persistence (when you want something to get done, you’ll do it)

The dorky little peace signs you do in selfies

All the confidence you have that I don’t (this is not physical but like online and cussing and shit which I don’t really do)

Every “when we meet” scenario

Your underwear collection

When you say you love me

When we’re talking and you just go silent and I’m like talking and I realize you’re replying to someone and I just trail off and say random things to keep the mood until you pay attention again

; )

That you know me so well to call my grandparents Mahmah and papa

How you get pissed when I tell you I had gluten or some shit

Your love of miranda Cosgrove

That you know more about me than any of my friends/ siblings/parents

That you would be the one person I might ever let touch my phone

Sharing secrets

You always try to HELP me whenever possible. When I failed a test, instead of saying “oh that sucks” you ask what I can do differently next time

Throughout the past 2.5 years you’ve been my strongest advocate

I really see you as the most prominent male figure in my life

Your handwriting is shit but in a cool way

I would pick you over a dog any day

How you’ve influenced my life (in particular my political and social views- definitely for the better)

Having someone to come to about the maddy situation

Being able to say definitively I have a best friend

You make jokes at the most innapropriate times

However many days you have left on earth, knowing you’ll be able to spend them with me is enough

How pretty your eyes are when you get excited about something and they sparkle and scrunch up

How much you love New York and how fondly you speak of it (it really warms my heart)

Being able to cope with my self hatred and my own problems while also managing yours fairly well

Basically stepping in as my dad while also letting me be there for you in a parent way

Dreaming big

when you call me babes or love

Complimenting my art when we both know its shit

When you randomly text me throughout the day which you don’t normally do

Your love of haddock

The spur of the moment facetimes when one of us is feeling sad

You’re the least judgmental person I’ve ever met (of me at least) and one of the kindest

the pictures of us I have on my laptop

You’re one of the most self sacrificing people I’ve ever met

The little things that you remember about me that you bring up that make me realize how much you really listen

How funny you are

When we talk and we go off on those little tangents and start calling each other sweetie and it basically one of those skits

“stoop”

That night I was in the hotel and I snuck out of the room so I could talk to you and boy oh boy was that a nice night bc we planned a trip, talked all night, and even though there were plenty of tears on my end, it's still one of my fondest memories of you

Same night, when the mean receptionist lady yelled at me and you had left and I was panicked crying in the room and upset and you called back and you were just so gentle and caring and talking to you automatically cheers me up

Low-key trying to set our siblings up

When you're singing to me and you literally pause to burp

That one time you joked that we should get married and I said “will you marry me?” and you got super freaked out and were trying to let me down easy that was really funny but also just really a nice moment because you're so sweet

this is some super straight shit and probs no one is gonna read it but bottom line is people see you from a completely different perspective. When you see yourself what you may see is all negative, but someone else sees you in a completely different light. All those weird quirks you don't notice or don't think anything of make someone else’s day brighter. You are all loved by someone.

#love #self love #positivity #love my best friend #friendship #best friend #I should just call this blog the truscum-tranny fanpage #should I do that #im gonna do that

Interviews

WILL F Tell me about yourself?

Having grown up in an ex-pat family, I had the opportunity to live in Asia and Europe. I have always been creative whether its art, music, film or fashion. After failing handsomely at school and barely making it into University I realised education wasn’t for me, after dropping out of University and having the opportunity to work in advertisement and film for some time I decided to co-found a creative agency. Since then I have had the opportunity to work with some the UK’s most influential people and brands, aiming to share my thoughts and knowledge with other millennial and the older demographic.

In your opinion what are the stereotypes of millennials?

I think my understanding of the millennial stereotype is that millennials have created a new culture and behaviour that has not been recognised before. I think we are categorised as a dysfunctional, unmotivated and unwilling generation that is incredibly selfish.

I do believe that is a statement that targets millennials collectively however I feel its only a certain categorisation off that generation who live up to the stereotype. I do feel with the move in the digital world millennial's are creating new and imaginative ways to work, In a lot of peoples eyes I think due to it being unconventional, its seen as wrong.

What does it mean to be a millennial?

I think there are many answers to this question, although “millennial” is a term for the generation born in between the 80’s and early 2000’s. Its seen today as more of a categorisation of the “future”. Being the most connected generation, I feel we are the most progressive out of any other previous generation. Having more opportunities, more freedom and defiantly more of a creative mindset I think that Millennial’s have recently started to disrupt and question convention which in my mind is progress for the future to come. We’ve always been told to be unique however convention tells us not to, I feel we are the first generation that has done exactly that.

What inspires you?

People. A lot of people will generically say art, fashion, music or culture. Which is all great, but I believe that the source of those mediums are the most inspirational subjects. To me a persons story is the most valuable knowledge or inspiration you can obtain, because unless they write a book about their life you will never have the chance again to hear it.

If you could impact something significantly within society what would it be?

I believe the biggest fault in society today is people not listening to one another, especially between young and old generations. I would love to see more members of the younger generation being able to make decisions that can impact our societies.

If you had one piece of advice to give to other millennial what would it be?

A really important word to me is self-awareness, I think so many people lie to themselves about who they are. Until that person understands who they are as a person and acknowledges their identity and values, they won’t be happy with anything they do.

Do you think you fit the stereotype of millennial’s?

Absolutely!

Why?

I believe being unconventional and creative is exactly what it is to be a millennial, I like to think I do exactly that every day. LIZZIE

Give a bit of an intro about yourself (not part of the question but literally talk about anything uni school travelling your freelance illustration)

I’m Lizzie, I’m 23 and I’m currently living and working in Wellington, New Zealand. I had an idyllic upbringing and was always academically bright, but way more interested in art. My family were always super supportive but I felt a lot of pressure growing up to achieve and be perfect. I went to Uni to study graphic design, but got very disillusioned and ended up dropping out in my 3rd year. I moved to New Zealand and converted a van which I travelled and lived in for 6 months, it was pure freedom. I’ve recently got back into illustration and won a poster competition for the street art collective Vivid Wellington, I’ve met a bunch of local artists and it’s been so inspiring. I’ll be moving back to England in July to study as a tattoo apprentice.

What does it mean to you to be a millennial?

I think we’re in this weird transitional generation, we’re the first kids to grow up with technology dominating our lives, we’re at the forefront of unexplored territory and we’re just trying to figure it out. The truth is that the world is entirely run by the post-war generations, they’ve had an incredible impact on the world physically and economically, it was all about this ethic of working hard your whole life, contributing to society, everything has to be bigger, better, newer. As a generation I think we’re questioning this, we’re less motivated by money, more creative and forward thinking, and in a growth driven society this can be easily misinterpreted as being ‘lazy’. I think in general we’re tolerant, emotionally intelligent and amazingly bright. We’re opening up about sexuality, race, gender, mental health…we have all these great ideas we’re just struggling to find a platform for our ideas to be heard.

What inspires you?

Mostly people, I find people fascinating. I try not to rely on inspiration when I’m drawing, you can end up staring at a blank page for a long time if you do. Inspiration comes from practice, trying everything - new ideas come from that. It took me a long time to realise! I’m definitely inspired by self-makers, that DIY aesthetic and attitude. Counter-culture, punk, hip-hop, ravers, street art, drag queens, comics, nature…oh and smut - Lots of smut.

If you could impact something significantly within society what would it be?

That’s a tough one. I’d like to get people to question what’s going on around them, not just accept the way things are. That’s the first step to changing things. We’ve thought the same way for so long, we need a new perspective. I’d love to see women’s ideas come into consideration, I think we could really use a feminine approach.

If you had one piece of advice to give to other millennials what would it be?

Be yourself! It’s cheesy but I think it’s so important to do your own thing when everybody around you is trying to make you into something else. Lead by example. And love yourself, that’s very important.

Do you think you fit the stereotype of millennials and why yes or no

I’m going to be annoying and say yes and no, I’ve definitely been guilty of feeling entitled, I’ve only recently started to understand the value of hard work, and working hard for yourself too. I try and keep away from the trappings of social media…most people I know don’t seem to fit the stereotype. It’s going to be harder for us to coast through life with wages and housing prices being what they are. I could definitely work harder though.

SOPHIE RISCH

Give a bit of an intro about yourself?

My name is Sophie Rischmiller, I am 18 years old. I am a full time student at Bournemouth University, an Affiliate Marketer taking my foundation certificate in marketing at The Chartered Institute of Marketing and the owner of a startup marketing agency called Social Zest.

In your opinion what are the stereotypes of millennials?

Millennials are constantly stereotyped as not really experiencing life because they are always looking at social media or things online. We have been bought up in the digital era so everyone assumes we don’t really know how to communicate, which isn’t the case. Because we spend time online older people thing we are lazy, under motivated and introverted.

What inspires you?

I am inspired by young entreprenuers documenting their life online and giving valuable advice to younger people or people they same age as them - other millennials! They inspire me to be motivated and better myself in everything that I do.

What does it mean to you to be a millennial?

Being a millennial means being at the forefront of the digital era, we have the power to create communities and influence people like never before. If we use the tools we have been given, growing up in a smarter society, I think we can really make a positive difference.

If you could impact something significantly within society what would it be? In other words what is an issue that is close to your heart?

One thing I would choose to impact would be mental health in young people, there are so many amazing charities working hard to correct mistakes that previous generations made - for example making it difficult for people to talk about their sexuality or for men to talk about their feelings openly. I think that this new generation is far more advanced and accepting of everyone so we have the ability to encourage those with mental health issues to feel they have a voice and that they are not alone.

If you had one piece of advice for other millennials what would it be?

My advice for millennials would be to say yes to every opportunity you are given, we have all the resources to succeed given to us by this new digital age so it would be wrong of us not to utilise them.

MARIE

Tell me about yourself?

Okay, so my names Marie, Marie La - Anyane. I’m not French, even though my name sounds French. Im 100% Ghanaian. I am an abstract artist and I run a fashion blog. And thats pretty much it, I just paint during my free time, do some artwork. I edit a lot of photos and I have a little taste for photography. I don't take all of the photos for my blog myself, but I do edit them. I just quit my job of three or four years. Im hoping to get an internship within fashion. I don't want to settle for something which isn't related to what I want for my future which is get a career within the fashion industry. So if its not something thats not dear to my heart I'm not going to settle and just do that to kill time.

What does it mean to you to be a millennial?

I mean we are the generation that made money out of youtube, theres people making thousands on instagram every single day and back in the day our parents probably thought we were crazy for just being on platforms like Facebook. And now people are getting paid just to post a photo and just to advertise. So I mean we should be proud of that, and we are making so many changes in the world. We have had some of the biggest protests and marches in history and thats just us!

What inspires you?

My culture and my play on colours. I think my background inspires me, being Ghanaian using colours in our everyday life and all celebrations use a lot of colour so thats really where I get my inspiration. I have never been able to draw certain things and so because of that I often take an abstract stance, because thats what works for me.

If you could impact something significantly within society what would it be? In other words what is an issue that is close to your heart?

I don’t think I can personally impact society as a whole, but I can work with people to make changes. Going to protests and letting the government hear what we have to say, because I cant do that on my own.

If you had one piece of advice for other millennials what would it be?

I think we shouldn't let the negative comments and negative views by previous generations affect us, because we have achieved a lot, we are going to achieve a lot. I know its the social media age but we have achieved so much just through that. Its crazy you don't even have to go and watch the news anymore you just have to go on twitter! I mean Donald Trump is tweeting and he's probably part of the generation that thinks that we are not doing anything with our lives and all we know is social media. So I think we should just look at it as a positive thing, we have done so much for ourselves and we should be proud!

DANIEL BOOTH

Tell me about yourself?

Okay so my names Daniel Booth, I run MPR Communications which is a PR and social media company. We handle, publicity and brand relations for celebrities, influences, professional athletes, high profile individuals. We also do PR for brands and we do social media for brands as well. I started it four years ago, and yeah its going well. We work with musicians, athletes, models, presenters, footballers, rugby players, golfers. So I have been working in the industry for probably about seven or eight years now. So I started out in fashion PR and beauty, peddling Chanel lipstick, Champneys and stuff like that. And then I did whats called agency hopping, so each six months to a year id move to a different agency, and slowly worked from beauty to fashion. Ive worked numerous London fashion weeks, which is stressful to say the least. And then from there I hopped into entertainment and sports. As I say yeah about four years ago I was made redundant from my last agency. I came into work one morning, by 9:15 I was in the boss’ office and he basically just said sorry we have no money this will be your last day. They couldn't even afford to pay me for the rest of that day. So the second I stepped out of the front door I was wondering round London on my phone sending emails, texts and phone calls to see if anyone had a job for me. And it was happening to everybody, because it was around the time the financial crash hit and businesses sort of panicked. So I moped around for about a week, I was super stressed out because I had never been out of work. I never went to university and I sort of lounged around the house for a week wondering what to do. And my problem was that I wasn't good at anything else, the reason I got into PR was because I'm good with people. I can talk to anybody. So my girlfriend said to me you just need to get up and go back out there, so I did. And for the last sort of two years of my agency career I saw how they didn’t really care about the clients. It was just the case of how much money you pay us defines how much time and attention we will give you. I didn’t like that because I mean we had clients for instance that were paying close to £10,000 per month and then you had a little designer that was absolutely phenomenal but all she could afford was £1,500 per month and she would get nothing. And like that is still money, that that person is paying out of their own pocket but just because its not big enough for the agency, they don't get anything. So I decided to make that my mantra, that we were going to work with everybody and anybody, if they were talented of course. And it didn’t matter what their budget was, we would make it work. So far its going alright.

In your opinion what are the stereotypes of millennials?

Well ever since you reached out to me I've had all these articles, about millennials and to be honest its all the same. They are self entitled, they don't want to work, they are narcissistic,all they care about is what their instagram looks like and all that sort of thing. But to a certain extent theres a minority that are exactly like that. But i think for the grand scale of millennials, its completely wrong. I mean I meet people everyday who are your age, my age and they are driven people. I mean the thing is millennials face so many issues that no other generation has had to face, I mean today you can at 21 years old you can be a millionaire. You can create an app and it can get picked up overnight and all of sudden your a millionaire and theres so many different opportunities and avenues that people can go down and its confusing for a lot of people. I mean my younger brother is 21 and he's in uni studying fine art and if you ask him what he wants to do he has got no idea. He just wants to do something in art because thats what he likes, and its not because he's lazy, its not because he cant be bothered, its because there are so many options and its one of those things i mean when i was at school like forever ago now, when it came to career day they said be electricians, be plumbers, be carpenters, be a fireman, a police officer because all those are in need at the minute. And the thing is, everybody went after those jobs and now they are over planned. Millennials have come to a realisation that you know what you don't have to break your back to earn a decent living. I mean me, if you ask any of my family what I do, they have no idea, they literally don't have a clue. Millennials i think are misunderstood massively, they get the raw end of the deal i think. I mean theres a lot of stuff they have to put up with and get through, I mean most people wont ever own their own house and all that sort of thing. I read an interesting article the other day where the title was the 20k somethings and it basically said that millennials are the generation that are happy to earn 25 - 27k for the rest of their life as long as they have experiences. So they get to go travelling, they get to swim with dolphins they get to go look for humpback whales and all that sort of thing. They would rather have these big experiences in life than have massive amounts of money. Now my question is why is that such a bad thing? Theres people that get by on less than 25 grand a year, i mean a lot of them do struggle but you can make it work! I mean I know somebody, who him and his other half, between them earn 45,000 a year, they are happy. They’ve got a house, they have a car, they go on eight holidays a year but the thing is they both work remotely and they both work remotely so they can have that life because they are able to do that. I don't see what the big deal is. I mean my mum when I was younger she was like don't get tied down too young, go travelling, go see the world. I mean my mum had me when she was 22 years old, she was married when she was like 21 so her whole thing for me and my brother and my sister was go see the world don't get stuck into your career or anything. I mean I slightly ignored her. Its the way it is.

What inspires you?

Potentially failing, I don't like to loose, ever. I am one of the most competitive people ever. I don't let it show too often but if i loose inside me its like argh, i hate it. So yeah I think failing, theres a constant drive there to prove that you can do it.

If you could impact something significantly within society what would it be? In other words what is an issue that is close to your heart?

For me, i mean I started working with women football players when i first started working for myself. Because it was an up and coming game. And I was lucky enough to get one client at chelsea football club and the ladies train at the same place as the mens football team and on my second visit, when I went down to the training ground. but i think one thing I'm passionate about is helping women sport. The thing is in all sports the women train as hard if not harder than the men because they have to. They are constantly fighting against society saying. Footballs a mans game, women shouldn't be playing rugby, women that play sports look like lesbians, i mean what does a lesbian look like? So I think it would definitely be womens sport, I think there needs to be more understanding about it, there needs to be more promotion for it. There needs to be more commercial drive behind it. I mean the thing is a bit of insight the top top england womens football players in salary a year, not a week, a year get paid £30,000 per year. Now I've got players that i work with that are 17 years old that get that a week, so i mean now its becoming that they can earn more from commercial deals and that sort of thing but even then, brands aren't willing to pay that kind of money. One of the girls I work with was on the same campaign as joe hart the goalkeeper, she got paid i think it was like 6% of what he got paid, it was minuscule. And it needs to be a lot fairer, it needs to be on the same level for men and women. Women sport is massive and its growing every year. I mean i like to think that I'm helping but I'm still not having the impact that i want to have, thats definitely where I would go.

If you had one piece of advice for other millennials what would it be?

Do the grunt work. The thing is, this is no joke, i get about 30 emails a day requesting jobs, internships from people my age and younger. And occasionally when I'm feeling generous, ill go and meet them see what they are about, see how they fit. I mean I've only ever met one person who has been happy to do the back breaking work, to go grab coffee and this sort of thing. And unfortunately she's moved back to the states and she worked with me for 6 months. She was studying law and came over here as part of her degree and she just wanted an insight into the sports world, she's passionate about sport she loves football. So i met with her and straight away you could tell, you know what this girl has got something special about her, she is willing to go the extra mile and honest to god when she left it felt like I had lost my left arm because she was there and she preempted anything that I ever could have needed. Im still in contact with her now, I consider her a friend. But I meet people every day that literally just want to walk into a job, they have come straight out of uni and they have gone right okay I want 30,000 a year I want my own office and I want 5 projects a year to work on.Its like, the world doesn't work like that, and this is where i feel millennials as a whole get a bad name because of some of the people that are like that. I mean for me I interned in fashion and beauty PR for almost a year. I wasn't paid, I was working 16 hour days, I was working for fashion week, when id finished work I was asking if I could go to the events with the PR managers and they would party till like 3 - 4 o clock in the morning. And id stay out with them, id meet people. But as i say as up till now after 4 years I've only ever met one person that was willing to do that. I mean one kid i actually met he came to me and was like, I want 45,000 a year, and i want to work from anywhere in the world. And I just looked at him and was like mate, really? Like thats the first thing your gonna say to me? And he was from a very privalliged background and he had it installed in him that that is the way it is. You walk in and demand what you want and somebody will give it to you. And its like i said to him, you have no position you've just come straight out of uni. I think he had studied something like talent management. Some obscure degree that in the grand scheme of things doesn't mean a lot. And I said to him right, name me five people right now that you could call and you could get one of my clients into this event, that event or on that tv show. And he said well I don't have any. So I said well then come back to me when you do. Because thats what it is in my job and in a lot of jobs its about the connections that you have with people. The relationships that you have. Its being able to call on those people at a moments notice you know you can pick up that phone and say I need help and them say okay what can i do. And thats what its about and you get that from doing the interning, the working for free, the making coffee and all that sort of thing. It sounds degrading, but you learn a lot from it. Its the one time in your life when you can actually just sit there and soak up everything. I learnt more in my first two weeks interning, than I did in my entire school life. The thing is I wasn't academic, i never have been, i didnt like the thought of having to study. Now I read more books than i ever did when i was in school. Im always reading I'm always learning I'm always trying to better my knowledge of PR, social media, the digital landscape, marketing, everything. But its because I'm studying something i love and its completely different. When you start reaserching things about something you really love it becomes addictive. If you work in something like design, or digital or something like that because it grows so rapidly that you cant keep up. I think thats the advice that i would give to anybody. Just do that work, be a sponge. If you can get 5 minutes with i don't know if you wanted to be a football agent for instance, if you can get even five minutes with a professional football agent that has been in the industry. Just sit and listen to them for five minutes. Just ask them one question and then just sit and listen because you will learn so so much. So that a the advice.

Do you think you fit the stereotype of a millennial?

Well my jacket and hightop converse would say yes. I would probably say yeah. I mean if you had said to me when i was 15/16 years old, you will be working for yourself, you'll be working with the England rugby team all these cool people. I mean i would have laughed in your face. You say am I a millennial stereotype i mean yeah because in the grand scheme of things millennials have this mind set that they can do absolutely anything and yeah thats me.

GENEVIEVE SWEENY

Tell me about yourself?

I have been knitting since i was 5 and I used to live in Europe with my parents, I sort of followed them around with work so I used to sit in the back of the car knitting all the time because my nan taught me to hand knit. So i did that, I hand knitted all the time sort of secretly for like 11 years, until i met a girl at Nottingham trent who was doing a degree in knitwear and i was like omg this is amazing. So that then kind of really started my path. Because I was doing this thing that i loved doing but i didn’t really know how to apply it. Then I did a four year degree at Nottingham trent which was amazing we learnt about the machinery and actually how to make something which was really cool. And i did a year in industry in my third year, so i went to work with a really creative consultancy that did kind of swatches, which back then in the 90’s were really big. So companies like m&s would buy like 20 of them and it would cost like £600 for a swatch which was like crazy money. Then after the recession hit that kind of industry died a bit. So yeah I worked for them which was amazing like really creative and explorative and we did loads of exhibitions like in Shang Hai and florence and things which was amazing. And they also gave me sponsorship for my final collection, so i had like cashmere to knit with for my final collection, which was crazy! and i didnt even think about it too much then i was just like yeah ill have all the colours, now I'm like wow that was like the most luxurious collection in the world. After that I went to work for m&s and new look which was like just three months in each but it was amazing to see a real high street but fashion thats run from figures. To me being at uni and being in this creative world i was like what the hell, it was a real eye opener but a kind of good understanding of the connectivity. So yeah finished my degree, got a first which was cool. I specialised in menswear, so then i was selected to go to a trade show in Shang Hai to show my collection and also to do some work for wgsn to do some swatches and things. And there i met kind of randomly all the people id end up working for in the future which was really weird. I met a gentlemen who was an agent for rag and bone and he said they were looking for a menswear designer, so literally as soon as i got back i called them up and was like do you fancy interviewing me. Then a month later I was on a flight. So the march after graduating i went out and was the menswear assistant. The role kind of ended up changing and i was doing menswear and womenswear but it was amazing working for a really creative, contemporary brand. And it was before they had this recent investment, so there was kind of no budget, an endless amount of money and no restrictions. So yeah it was crazy you could find like three hundred pieces for spring, just for knitwear and I think only like eight went on the catwalk so it was a crazy amount of work. And then i got head hunted by Hugo Boss and i was offered a job in switzerland which was a lot more technical, kind of more the development, production side. But i always wanted to do my own thing, but i kind of never really, knew what wholesale price was, how would i actually manufacture something and do kind of quality control. So I took the job because i felt it was the next step to me building up my knowledge and working on something that i didnt really know anything about. So I lived in Italy and commuted to switzerland every day, and it was just an incredible job, I literally did everything from sketch to production. So I would work with a freelance designer who was based in london and she would give me all her concepts and i would go and work in this like knit lab, where they had all this machinery that they taught me to programme. So id kind of come up with ideas for her and then i would look after the product all the way through photo sampling production. I spent a lot of time in Turkey, in factories testing out lots on things. So i did a lot of travelling it was amazing, it was such a broad view of the industry. Since then different roles I've had are very split you would have like 8 people doing that one job. So that was the kind of main thing. But i looked after the Boss green, which was sports knitwear, so it was quite small only about 40 pieces per collection. So for my second job it was quite manageable. Then i got engaged and felt like I had to move back to England so i did a quick stint at burberry kids wear. That was mainly computer work so i didn’t really last long there. And then I went to Lyle and Scott to work on there scottish programme they wanted to bring the knitwear back to scotland, my role was to look after the knitwear team and build back the relationship with scotland. So as i moved back to England I decided i wanted to get my studio back and kind of wherever i went I had like a car full of yarn and i wanted the big machines. So i went on eBay and bought these really old machines that were up in scotland and drove up there and met this amazing old man who was in his 80s. I got chatting to him and found out that his nephew was a hand tartan knitter but lost his job in the 80s and actually all his family members used to work in the mills. So we went to th pub and i met a few other people and i met some people with more machines. That sort of really started the beginning of my brand, I just felt so awful that there were all these amazingly skilled people that were now like bus drivers. They were cutting lengths of this imported woollen fabric and then calling it scottish fabric. It just felt really awful. So i decided to do a couple of projects with them because there style was like really 80s so I said if you want to work with new brands you need a bit of an update. So yeah we were working on a design and we ended up having like 5 pieces by the end of it and i was like gosh this is the start of my collection, but that was all happening whilst i was working for lyle and scott which ended up using no scottish knitwear because they couldn't afford it and ended up doing a lot more stuff in Italy. And then Ian got made redundant and I got really jealous so i quit my job as well and took the plunge. So it kind of felt like everything had come into piece but it did take about 18 months to find the right supplier and just get an understanding of where i wanted my work to be in the market and if there was a market for it. But actually a lot of the manufacturers in the midlands wouldn't work with me because they wanted like 400 pieces. But like even at lyle and scott we wouldn't order 400 pieces for some like fashion pieces. So even in scotland I could find people to knit it but not to put it together. So i had to go through this like interview process with one of the manufacturers but i think he had been so screwed over by young designers in the past that he was just like over cautious. So i literally drove up there and met him and he was like okay we can work together and then i drove back again. Yeah so it took a while but it kind of worked out. So i launched in september 2015 and worked with a really amazing range of manufacturers, so id design everything here in house and then often hire a machine to test out ideas for patterns and things and then gove the production to them. They are such an amazing manufacturer they are all kind of like family run. I feel like they are more invested in what your doing and kind of look after you more, where as the factories and especially when i worked in factories abroad its just all about numbers and margins and your killing yourself over 10p. Where as I've got more of an understanding of how much they do and how much stuff costs so I'm quite like, I see the value in what they do and vice versa.

In your opinion what are the stereotypes of millennials?

I feel like it changes every five or ten years. Like a lot of the younger millennials don't drive at the moment which i find crazy. But i don't know if its because now things are a lot more accessible, like when i was 17 i learnt to drive because it was the only way i would be able to get out and do something. So i don't know maybe with the internet changing its more accessible now.

What inspires you?

Inspiration comes a lot from archetecture, so could be the structure or patterns in plaster. It seems to be a lot from archetecture or sometimes ariel views or kind of natural patterns. Its definitely always something that breaks and repeats, thats sort of always the theme.

If you could impact something significantly within society what would it be? In other words what is an issue that is close to your heart?

For me its the whole made in britian, sustainability and slow fashion. So i support made in Britain because it brings jobs to the area. We have got this amazing skill set thats really dying out. So the hand knitter i work with he's the youngest that we both know and he's 52 years old. So for me its really important to keep these skills going. And theres a lot of factories that have started employing people from China and stuff which is fine but also their way of linking and construction is different to the scottish way. So slight things, and like how you wash a jumper. Its really done by learning and its not just a program you put in its kind of like a sixth sense so those parts of the made in britain i really want to keep going and support. And then also on the other side the slow fashion is a really important issue. So not having fast fashion like in the last couple of months but having something that will last 10-15 years and will reduce the environmental impacts.

If you had one piece of advice for other millennials what would it be?

I think networking is really important, reaching out to other people weather its more mentors and people that you aspire to. Or even just like peers, people in the same situation or going through the same things, i find it so helpful to talk to other designers.

What does it mean to you to be a millennial?

I guess the opportunity that you've got from technology, I feel very lucky to have that. To be able to have a business that reaches america and hong kong, thats amazing. I cant imagine how i would really be able to do something without it just being local.
