#please dont apologise for the essay i love to read it

[cowes]

Ok, finally home from hell (8 and 1/2 hour shift no breaks) let's get back to it, love your thoughts, love the graphic!

Oh holy shit Kirsten as the first adopted child, you're so smart for that. I do agree on oldest, most traditional - strict I would maybe argue falls on Mary - when they're all running through the woods playing, Mary is the one with the sour face the one not participating. Like I think Kirsten is someone who has to bottle so much up and I think it's so interesting that she has them run freely and scream at the top of their lungs because she probably feels like doing that 90% of the time.

Very true Mickey and Tina's arrival is so hilarious it caught me off guard. Just "hi hello here are two new children have fun?" And his sort of like "I guess?!". When I watched it I most certainly thought the first three were biological kids and then Mickey and Tina were the only adopted ones. And yeah it's difficult to explain how she uses the children in relation to Leo. Like after what happened with Kirsten, I would think that's the last straw. He assaults a 15 year old, my instinct would be to leave, definitely not bring more children around. Like why was Gwenda the last straw for her you know? How much did he cheat and why would more children be her revenge move? I need to rewatch many more times to put stuff together now retroactively with all the pieces but, who knows.

Very true she does love her children very much, but unfortunately I think her love (and to an extent all love, let's be honest) comes from fear - fear of her image, fear of them leaving her - and a lot of her love then expresses itself as possession and control, which is...not great - the panic attack in the bunker exactly. And her having that built is the ultimate expression of that fear/possession/control/love cycle. If the whole world burns down, you will survive here with me whether you like it or not.

And yes, yes ah Hester. Need to study that girl under a microscope. I think honestly it might be like denial? Or like hopefulness to the point of denial? If I ignore this thing it isn't real. If no one knows about my drinking or if I treat it with nonchalance then it's not real and I'm fine, everything's fine. I don't know. I've only seen it once, and like any time I watch something and am compelled by the acting choices I'll rewind it a couple times to watch it again, but I need a couple full rewatches to really put everything together in context with the whole show.

Thank you! that's a very high compliment, that one was an original, probably definitely inspired by something somewhere, but I loved the graphic you made of it, That's so flattering! And also that scene! How casually cruel Rachel is and how Hester leaves nearly immediately after! Ahhhhh!

Yeah exactly these are my guys, sorry to you Agatha fans, I simply do not care about all that in this instance. (And sorry for this damn essay geez)

i hope u can rest well after that shift 😟 no breaks??

yeah dunno why i said strict then. my bad. i think i was thinking 'parental' - because she's not quite a sibling with the others, there is a motherly aspect. yes, she has really kept so much repressed over the years. the scene in the kitchen with her and jack is just heartbreaking. its actually painful to think about, the way he just comes to talk to her and gets slightly rejected (not really!!! not really jack !! don't leave, she just got nervous!)

And her having [the bunker] built is the ultimate expression of that fear/possession/control/love cycle. If the whole world burns down, you will survive here with me whether you like it or not.

another banger observation.

i always understood the bunker as her way of staying in control, but i never really extended that to her kids. its probably why she took tina wanting to leave home so hard, losing that love/control over them.

hmmm. i never really understood if leo cheating was a regular thing or if it was only with kirsten and that was what rachel meant that gwenda was not the first staff member. it's probably meant to be vague. perhaps the gwenda thing was the last straw because everything else was falling apart with her kids, so she decided fuck it. she was seriously busy that night, wrecking her relationships with everrrryone.

ella said in this interview: "she has the family persona where she plays the princess and she has her real character, which is how she behaves with her siblings where she acts much older."

very sweet idea that how she acts with her siblings is the real her, but i often feel that she also hides parts of herself from them too (though that's not a 'persona' - just keeping secrets), probably for the reasons u mentioned.

actually that whole interview is very good. some of her thoughts on hester and rachel's relationship: "a lot of their relationship is based on what Hester looks like and Rachel is always selecting her clothes and making sure Hester always looks perfect which is why Hester develops an obsession with her appearance, maintaining this expectation even after Rachel is murdered [...] I do however think she loves her mother, they all do in some way, but it’s a weird kind of love when you love someone who doesn’t give you anything back."

we should invite ella to chat with us, i think she's on the same page.

im glad u liked the graphic 😅 i still have the urge to delete it. but tumblr is anonymous so i guess i cant be too embarrassed.

HIII, its me again 👋 (the one with the angsty prompt) waaaaah thank you SOO much for considering my prompt! 🥹 You write soo well, so it makes me so happy that you like the idea for a story! And its great that you also touched on the topic of maggots already! I feel like the fear/dislike of maggots is a good concept to explore Mui's trauma. No pressure, pls take as long as you want and if i get any more ideas I'll definitely pop by again ~ trust that they will be ✨️ A N G S T Y ✨️ but also fluffy :3

ALSO, MAY I PLS ADD - to expand on the idea of Muichiro not liking Tanjiro seeing him so vulnerable, i think he'd hate the fact that he looks so "weak" because he's supposed to be stronger than Tanjiro. he's been dealing with his problems alone for so long so he's not used to sharing them with others, and i feel like thats what Tetsuido meant when he used to worry about Muichiro because he never allowed others to help him with his problems (except Shinobu but yeah that was just medical help me thinks) ... so thats kinda why he was so misunderstood. But sunshine boy is there to let him know that its okay to have moments of emotional weakness and that he doesnt have to face his problems alone 🫂

Thank you for wanting to mention me! 🥹 I am anon yes but you could call me the maggot-angst anon (JOKES LOL pls dont call me that I really dont like them nasty things 🥲)

Thank you again for liking the prompt 💖 I look forward to reading the last chapters of Bonfire, or Marigolds and your other stories!!

HELLO!!!

AWWW TY! I sometimes feel like I look up like a deer in headlights at potential angst material, so thank you so much for your ask😭

(side note- if my words don't make any sense it's because it's quite late for me rn I am running on about 6 hours of sleep and everything is blurry plus I just watched a 2 hour video essay on a film I haven't seen in over 5 years. So. I apologise.)

BUT OMG THE MAGGOTS IS SUCH A AUKFIYDADIYIYDA IDEA LIKE THERES SO MUCH ANGST YOU COULD SAP FROM IT LIKE THE DISGUSTING PARASITE IT IS EXCEPT WE ARE THE PARASITE NOW. AAAD6OAKYF

oh yes yes please even if I don't write them just imagining it makes me explode on the inside from happiness

I AM A SLUT FOR HURT/COMFORT AND PROUD OF IT. please send me requests ehee

I am going to say now though I will be taking a break from posting for quite a while since I need to take care of mental health (you know, that thing that lives in the corner of my brain that I occasionally poke with a stick or something) especially after my school decided to take a turbo shit on my free time. AHAHA I LOVE WORK.

but hopefully I'll be back as soon as possible BECAUSE I NEED MUITAN CRUMBS I CRAVE SUSTENANCE.

God I love fics where characters get vulnerable with each other and they find comfort in each other's company and form a silent and mutual understanding that the other is a safe place to return to oh my god it breaks my heart AHLCAFYKADIT-

but yeah! thank you so much for your prompts and I will hopefully get onto them once I FINALLY FINISH CHAPTER 27. OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DIFFICULT ITS BEEN TO WRITE THAT STUPID CHAPTER I ACTUALLY CANT. I CANNOT. I AM TRAPPED IN MY OWN WEB OF CONFUSION.

but thank you so much! I really hope you send me more prompts in the future! ee

me: im so done w him, hes been so selfish and doesnt listen to me. i dont care tbat hes ignored me for a couple of days now. ugh.

i was upset w this guy and ignored him for three days (he didnt say anything new during that time either) but i apologised once i came down from an episode and then he was like "yeah i get it ive done that before" which feels so- like dismissing and self centred- like immediately made it abt him instead of even giving it a few beats. i never ignore ppl personally so when i do it i feel so bad- and i ignored him cuz i have this fear ppl wont text me if i dont text them so he just proved me right anyways!!!! im so tired of it!!!! need to start dating women and trans guys instead of these bi/pan cis boys. they dont get me. the girlies and the trannies get me. i love my girls and trannies

authors note: IM BACK with another. the comments and the feedback for lemon tree was shocking. thank u everyone for reading it!! i wasn’t expecting that reaction. anyways, enjoy this :) feedback is appreciated

You never considered yourself lucky, especially in a new town that looked beautiful when the sunset toned the streets. You were a broke college student, desperately trying to make ends meet with groceries, bills and books. It was stressful to find some work in a town full of people who minded their business, except a family of four.

You hardly saw them until Wanda came knocking on your door, offering you meals that she made for her family. Wanda knew from the many nights she saw you from your window that you never ate a full course meal.

Her flower wasn’t nurturing the right way, and she hated it. Wanda didn’t like seeing her flower work too hard. But she did love the choice of outfits you wore.

An oversized shirt that always curves over your bum, giving Wanda a perfect view of your laced panties. She loved watching you, admiring you from afar. You were oblivious to her gestures, just like she wanted you to be.

When she saw you one night taking small bites of her lasagna, she swore that she heard a moan escape from your lips. It captivated her to continue to bring you food so she can listen to those pretty little moans of yours.

Over time, her motherly instincts switch on. She monitored your eating pattern, especially when you were in the middle of your finals. She watched you take scoops of cookie dough ice cream into your mouth and chugging energy drinks into your system.

You were hurting her flower, and she didn’t like it one bit. Wanda then decided she would take matters into her hand. When Wanda asked you out of the blue to come over to fix her printer, a ready-made meal was waiting for you.

It was a small fish dish with tons of vegetables. You weren't a fan of vegetables; half of them weren't your favourite either. You tried to pass the offer but, Wanda was very persuaded. She insisted you stay and eat with her, as a token of thanks for fixing her printer.

You didn’t want to be rude so, you sat with her, watching her cut up her potion. Wanda noticed that you hardly touched your greens, which made her angry. She didn’t show it, as she didn’t want to scare off her flower.

Wanda simply got up from her seat and accidentally brushed your shoulder, apologising straight after. She bent her body towards you, allowing you full access to her chest. You gulped in pleasure at how beautifully shaped her tits were.

“If you eat your greens, you can touch,” Wanda whispered, biting your earlobe. She watched as you gripped your thigh, smirking at how easy it was to persuade you to do something.

You sat there and, Wanda made sure you ate every vegetable on your plate. Each time you ate a vegetable, she kissed your neck, praising you for obeying.

“You can do it. We don’t want to see what happens when you don’t listen, sweetheart.” She mumbled against your skin, making you squirm in your seat.

Wanda slowly started to suck on your neck, feeding into you like you were her dinner. She heard a little whimper come from your lips and licked the mark she created.

“One more, sweetheart.” She praised, brushing her thumb against your cheek. She tangled her hands through your hair, pulling it slightly as she saw you fiddle with the last vegetable.

You quickly ate the last vegetable, looking up at Wanda for praise. She sent a sweet kiss to your lips, humming words that made you feel warm inside.

You instantly felt your body respond to her touches. She was seated next to you, and you felt lost. You didn’t know what came over yourself when Wanda pulled you onto her lap. You instantly snuggled into her, letting your face buried between her chest, as she brushed her fingers up and down your back.

You lightly kissed her breasts, smiling at how big and comfy they were. Wanda smirked and bounced them up, causing you to moan.

“Since you ate all your greens and study real hard today, you get to have some dessert. How does that sound?” Wanda whispered into your ear, seeing you nod almost immediately.

“You are so responsive to my orders, aren’t you?”

You nodded, feeling a blush appear.

“Such a good little flower.” She cooed, pulling you off her and pushing you down onto the floor. She opened her legs and watched your eyes widen at her movement. You saw that she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.

“Be a good little girl and take your dessert. I’m going to make sure you taste every last drop, understood?”

“Yes, Wanda..”

Wanda tutted, “Mommy. You call me Mommy.”

“Yes, Mommy.” You whispered and slowly brought your face to her entrance. You placed your hands around her thigh, and in a straight line, you licked her core. Wanda had no time for you to tease her. She was horny enough from just seeing you obey her. She grabbed a handful of hair and forced your mouth to suck on her cunt. You moaned at the force, trying to suck on every inch of her folds.

Wanda knew you were new to this, as your technique were wonky. She arched her hips towards you, thrusting her cunt into your face making you have no access to breathe. You allowed your tongue to explore her, trying to graze every spot to please her.

Wanda moans found your ears and, you moaned against her core, sucking on it harshly like it was the last edible thing on earth. Again Wanda thrust into you, making you accidentally bite her core. Wanda moaned louder, and you continued to latch onto her bud. You knew she was getting close as her folds clenched around your tongue. She managed to pull on your hair once more and gave you no warning that she was close to an orgasm.

Wanda, in no time, thrust once more before flooding your mouth with her cum. You tried your hardest to suck on every sweetness she gave you. Your lips were attached to her core for a little longer before she moved you away, brushing her finger against your swollen lip.

“You gorgeous thing. Those plumped lips are so useful to me. You were so good, sweetheart. You made Mommy feel so good.” She whispered, pulling you up by your shirt.

“You did so well, darling.” She hummed, allowing you to rest your head in her chest. Wanda watched as you gave her light kisses to her chest, grinning at how easily it was for you to be a submissive.

Wanda slowly moved your face away for her, causing a little whimper to escape your lips. Wanda only grinned at her flower, loving how needy you were for her.

“Go get some rest, darling. Those essays won’t write themselves.”

You nodded and slowly got off her lap, “Yes, Mommy.”

Wanda bit her lip at your tone and watched you stumble your way out of her home. She took the glass of water from the table, taking small sips as she amusingly watched you tumble and walk into things.

“Goodbye, little one.”

—

That night you were sorely in the zone to complete one of your essays. A temptation inside you sprung to light after you left Wanda’s that afternoon. You could still taste her in your mouth, and you craved more.

You felt lost without her near. You never depend on someone like you did with Wanda. She was turning you into something that you read in novels, and you liked it.

A little too much.

It was quarter to midnight and, you just finished a second essay. You were tired from studying and decided to take a little nap before returning to your books. However, that nap didn't exactly happen when you found yourself cradled against Wanda's chest.

You awoke and found your face buried deep in Wanda’s boobs. Unaware of how that happened, Wanda pushed your face back into her chest. She knew that you needed her touch, and just like the submissive you were, you took full advantage of it.

“You overworked yourself, sweetheart.”

You hummed, looking straight up at her. You eagerly tried to kiss her lips but, Wanda pulled back and smacked your thigh. You jumped in confusion, putting your head down as you didn’t like it when Wanda was mean.

"You naughty girl. Are you that desperate for Mommy’s lips? You want Mommy to taste whatever you are feeling in your panties.”

You let out a loud moan as Wanda harshly pressed her finger against your soaking core.

“My sweetheart. You are soaking. Did Mommy make you wet, darling?”

You sheepishly nodded and tugged on her bra as Wanda slapped your throbbing core.

“M-Mommy,” You moaned against her breasts, finding a way for you to tug on her nipple. Wanda hummed and saw how close you were getting to her nipple and slapped your core again, but with more force.

“Not yet. You must let Mommy taste you first. Is that what you want?”

You nodded quickly.

“Desperate little thing. You are such a slut, darling. Look at you, trying to hump Mommy’s fingers. How badly do you want Mommy’s fingers?”

“So badly. Please. Please.” The sounds of your begging made Wanda pinch your core. You let out a moan and squirm at the pain.

Wanda slowly pulled your panties down, watching some of your juice trails down your thigh. Wanda’s fingers managed to clean the excess. Without any warning, she stuffed her fingers straight into your mouth.

“Suck.” She demanded and, you obeyed, moaning at the taste of your sweetness.

“You ready for Mommy’s fingers? How many does my flower get?”

“As much as Mommy likes.” You moaned, and Wanda let out a chuckle at how much of a good submissive you were.

Wanda took one last look at you before taking her fingers out of your mouth and slammed them straight into your hole, hearing you cry in pain.

“Taking them so well, darling. Do you know how many fingers are inside you?” Wanda asked, her eyes darken.

You shook your head, pleading with her to go faster.

“Let’s count, Sweetheart.” Wanda whispered, and used one finger to hit one of your spots.

“How many was that, gorgeous?”

“O-One..”

Wanda grinned and did the same again but with three fingers this time causing you to moan louder.

“F-Four?” You manage to say and Wanda shook her head.

“Would you like Four fingers inside you?” Wanda whispered into your ear, fucking your core hard.

You barely gave her a response. Wanda took that as a yes and added another finger inside you. You felt your hole stretch like never before as Wanda slammed her fingers inside you. The tears spilling in your eyes made you grip Wanda's hand.

Wanda smirked and removed your hand from hers. She laughed as she gripped your jaw, so she could see you fall apart.

"My sweet angel. You look so beautiful." Wanda whispered and gripped your jaw harder. You let your tears fall from your cheek as she thrust her fingers in and out of you. You felt your orgasm near as your folds tugged on her fingers.

Your eyes began to see stars as Wanda used some of her magic to add more harsh momentum. You had no idea of Wanda's being a witch and, Wanda loved your obliviousness.

You started to ride her fingers, feeling your high coming through. Wanda kissed your tears away, planting a small kiss on your nose before slapping your thigh to indicate that you could cum.

"Go on, darling."

You cried out in pleasure as you let yourself loose on her fingers, sobbing as Wanda helped you ride your high. Your walls still clenched around her fingers, as you didn't want her to pull out.

Wanda smirked, loving how you took her so well.

“You are so well behaved, Sweetheart... taking my four fingers very well. You are a good little slut, aren't you? So glad I found you."

You opened your mouth, and Wanda laughed at your loss for words.

"How about we run you a bath? Does my little flower need a bath?”

You nodded and hissed at the pain as Wanda took her fingers out of you. She kissed your lips and then your neck, praising you whilst she gently made her way down to your swollen core. She gently kissed your swollen bud and gave you a sweet lick before picking you up.

Out of embarrassment of crying, you buried your face in her neck and watched her carry you towards the bathroom. You still let some tears fall as you felt the pain. She gently placed you on the counter, brushing your hair out of your face as she pinches your thigh teasingly.

“My sweet darling. Look at you. You were so good with Mommy today. You are the most gorgeous thing when you are crying. Those little sobs were for me, and Mommy loved watching you fall apart.”

You felt your cheeks burn with shame as Wanda degraded you. You wiped your tears on your jumper as you heard the tap run. Wanda cooed you, peppering your face with kisses.

“Let’s get you cleaned up.” She chuckled and helped you into the tub. You hissed at the pain when the warm water hit your core. Wanda slowly pushed you down, leaning over to wash you.

“No more crying, sweetheart,” Wanda whispered and gently began to bath you. You nodded and stayed put and allowed Wanda to care for you.

“Thanks, Mommy.”

Wanda smiled and placed a small kiss to your cheek. “Anytime, darling.”

OBLIVIATE | D.M.  ABANDONED FIC OUTLINE

Hello~

I’ve had this fic for @fuckingdraco ‘s writing challenge outlined for almost a year now. Half of it is a skeleton; i have some scenes which are fully written out and others which are just first drafts and idea dumps. this is quite literally copied and pasted so good luck if you read it.

I never had the heart to completely delete it but never liked it enough to write it; so here is my 2.2k draft fo what would’ve been a series. 

If anyone decides to read it, be warned, it’s a mess. i just didnt want it to die in my notes so it’s having a life here, in my new section of my masterlist ‘fics that never saw the light of day’.

warnings: memory loss, fight scenes, gore, fighting

//

Being in a secret relationships had its ups and downs

You had to sneak around

But that just made the moments you were together so much more meaningful

You couldn’t brag about him to your friends

But the both of you were quite private people anyways, explaining your absences as studying in odd places

No one ever found out

It was just you and draco

The summer of 5th year was hard as he spent all of it in the south of France with his family

But it made coming back in 6th year so much more exciting

your fingers ached to touch him as you walked past his carriage

It was moments like this that you wish you could openly love him

But when your friends started gossiping about how Harry Potter thought he’d become a death eater, you were suddenly glad you weren’t linked to him publicly

That thought itself set a heavy weight of guilt on you

He came back in 6th year and he had changed

His kisses lost their spark

His eyes lost their light

He’d fuck you rough and hard, almost as if forgetting himself. Before making it up to you in the next instance

Slow love making that made you feel like you had just slept with an entirely different person

You followed him

You supposed you shouldn’t have

But he was skipping meals and you couldn’t exactly talk to his friends when they didn’t know you

You couldn’t confide in your friends as they wouldn’t understand

So you had no other choice

You followed him throughout the nights, and every time you would find him slipping into the room of requirement when he should’ve been slipping into bed with you

Once you had gauged what time he usually went and on what days you yourself went, 10 minutes before he was due

You watch as he fiddles around some ancient looking cupboard and you wonder why you’re jealous of a dead tree taking up dracos time

You watch as he sends things through, until finally it works for him

But its not happiness on his face nor relief

It looks like dread

He doesn’t look like he’s accomplished something, no there was no way

You watch as he takes off his tie, throwing it in the pile of robes and jumper

You watch as he rolled up the sleeves to his arms, the arms that had held you up more times than you could count

And you watch as the dark snaking lines of the dark mark are exposed on your lovers skin

His eyes whip round to see yours, instantly widening in fear

It isn’t until you try to walk towards him and he throws his hands up to stop you do you realise the shattered glass littered around you

He flicks his wand and you walk over, standing in front of him trying to figure out why

“How did you hide it from me for so long.”

“Simple charms, I was hoping you wouldn’t have to find out.”

More dialogue where he explains

“I don’t have a choice.”

“You always have a choice.”

Draco please

“I can’t, I had to take this on my skin because my father fucked up”

“If I, if I stop now, I cant save my mother”

“Draco please, we can find a way around this”

You kiss him

And it feels like you’ve both gone back to before 6th year

When times were simpler

When he loved you and you loved him and that was it

No other interruptions

“Oblivate”

PART 1

“Y/n?”

“I’m sorry, do I know you?”

“Draco Malfoy, we share some classes but we haven’t spoken before.”

“Oh, im sorry, of course. I’m really tired I dont usually forget peoples names I swear. I must’ve been so tired I wandered in, I apologise.”

“It’s okay, the doors over there.” You take that as his polite cue of asking you to leave

He offers a tight smile, one you remember from first year, one you remember seeing across the hall as he’s shut down by Harry Potter

Poor guy must be going through something

“Y/n”

you turn, you dont even hesitate. You dont know what it is but you feel as if you’ve known him all your life

You change and you see a gold ring dangling from a dainty gold chain. You ask your friends if they’ve seen it before

im forgetting so much these days

But you keep it on, it brings you an odd sense of comfort

You keep it tucked beneath your blouse, bringing it to you lips on occasion when youre anxious.

//

He had forgotten about his ring, the very ring you had clasped between your thumb and finger as you worked on your essay. How was he possibly supposed to get it from you

he’s well aware he’s staring but his mind is whirling

He needs that ring

“Draco, isn’t that your ring?”

He should’ve obligated himself, that might’ve been easier

“I’m sure it just looks similar.”

“Draco, we both know that’s the Malfoy famlily crest, I wondered why you stopped wearing it.”

“Wait did she steal it?”

misplaced it

She picked it up

He had to awkwardly walk over to pick it up

“That’s my ring.” You had told him all about how your friends hated him and how you had feigned indifference the entire time

He had to act the part

Youre flustered, eyes flicking between the ring and him, fingers clasping it tighter as if not wanting to let it go

He notices and his heart clenches at the sight

Remembering the night he gave it to you

*flash back*

“I’m so sorry, I must’ve picked it up by accident here.”

“Wait, how do you even know it’s his, prove it Malfoy.”

“My vaults could buy Hogwarts, why would I be stealing gold from a nobody?”

Your cheeks flare up and your friends glare at him but see his side

You struggle to unclasp it, and of course you fucking do because his stupid fucking ass charmed it so only he could take it off

he watches as you struggle with it, turning to a friend to help before you have 6 girls pulling at the very expensive chain on your neck

“For fucks sake youre going to damage it, let me.”

Your breath hitches as his surprisingly warm fingers brush your hair out of the way, fingers working quick to unclasp the necklace, the weight of it leaving your neck and you feel surprisingly empty

“Thank you.”

You watch as he goes, your fingers scratching over your neck, feeling something bubble in your throat

This was pathetic, you were so sad over something that was never yours in the first place

You spend the remainder of the time trying to figure out how you cam to be in possession of it in the first place

//

your name is written in beautiful cursive on a letter that you cannot help but love

You turn it over to see a beautiful wax seal on it, fingers trembling as you break it

The chain is yours.

d.m.

You tilt the envelope over into your hand to feel the familiar weight of the chain in your hand, clasping it around you neck in an instant

You look in the mirror but you dont recognise yourself

Your friends are surprised when you study with them

When you go back to your dorm room at a reasonable time

And you dont have a clue where it is they think you go

But how could you possibly explain to someone what you font remember

The chain is too light around you neck, its just not the same, it feels as if it’s chocking you rather than bringing you comfort

You start digging through your trunk and draws, looking for something to act as a pendant before you finally do.

Hidden at the back of one of your draws you find a little velvet box you dont remember stashing away. But then again, you dont seem to be remembering much these days.

Its a tiny little constellation of stars, charmed to sparkle and you heart wonders why you had never worn it before. It was a simple little charm but once hooked onto the necklace, you look at yourself in the mirror and finally feel as though a little part of you has returned.

PART 2 THE CONSTELLATION IS DRACO

6th and 7th years are a blur

A blur of horror

You dont really understand how life had changed so abruptly

You dont know how you end up fighting in a war at the age of just 18 but here you are

Draco stands with Hogwarts

And then his mother calls

You’ve seen him

Of course you have

You know what he is, know what his parents are

But you also know what he has done to make Hogwarts more bearable for you under the Carrows watch

The small things, diverging attention away from you and your friends

He wasn’t evil and some part of you knew that

You watch as he takes a shuddering breath and starts to walk

You watch as no one stops him

You watch as he loses more of his soul with each step towards mr no-nose

You dont know why you do it

You run

Your friends call your names, teachers joining in

They think youre joining the other side, they think youre fucked in the head, as they had since that incident in 6th year

But no, you were just missing something

you catch up to him pretty quickly, pulling him to a stop

“Ah, another to join my cause. Welcome young lady.”

���You know me. Im missing something but whenever I’m with you, whenever im holding this stupid constellation close to my heart, I feel at ease. Why”

he stares at you incredulously, and why wouldn’t he. Youre in the middle of a battlefield, Harry Potter has just been declared dead and Voldemort is less than a meter away

But you dont feel scared

And you feel stupid for not feeling scared

“It has felt like I dont even know who I am for the past 2 years, what did you do to me?”

You know everyones watching, you can hear the gasps on both sides as they think the worst of him

“I did what was necessary.” That was the first time he had spoken more than 2 words to you since he had gotten his necklace back that day in the library

“Draco, this is no time to be flirting. Come join me, bring her with you if you want.”

He tenses as voldy rests a boney hand on his shoulder, pulling him towards the other side, away from you

“If you won’t be joining us, we will use you an example of what will happen if you dont join us.”

You stare at him unfazed, fear was something you had gotten used to

Your fingers grip your wand in hand, running through all the spell harry had taught you in the da but its not enough

You are no match for voldy as he throws an unforgivable at you

You hear screams around you but all you hear is silence, as if the world had finally gone silent

//

Draco watched as the spell hit you directly in the chest. He had spent 2 years living with his actions all for it to have gone to naught in a single second

He watched as the light from his wand hits you

Before rebounding off you as if it hit a shield

There’s a flash of black and his mother is infront of him, wand out from deflecting the spell from bouncing back and hitting him

“Mother?”

“She’s important to you?”

“She gave him one of the fucking family heirlooms, either she’s important to him or he’s an idiot”

His parents were… bickering in the middle of a battle

voldy recollects himself but before he can talk neville speaks up “I have no idea what’s going on but-”

Draco drowns out the noise as he stares at you on the floor, youre covered in dust and in blood but youre alive

He hears screams as harry rolls from hatreds arms, he hears the cries from death eaters but all can see is you

“We’re switching sides now?”

“I mean he’s fairly distracted, he won’t have time to hunt us down, we owe it to our son.”

Fight scene

You remember everything

Fred Weasley teases the both of you, “we have a war to win, you can fuck later.”

He copy his lazy grin, a grin that lights you up, a grin that reminds you what’s left to fight for

You see the spell before he does

Youre in an arms reach of him but Draco cant reach you in time

You push Fred to the floor, putting yourself in the line of fire by default and draco has to watch you get hit all over again

“We need to talk about what exactly it is ive been wearing around my neck this entire time.”

“I think only my mother can answer that.”

1/? Masterlist

-“… And remember! The deadline for the essay is in three weeks.”- You hear your History teacher’s voice but no one listens to him. The bell just ringed and that meant freedom.

-“ It’s Friday!!! Let’s do something fun.” You hear Kevin’s voice next to you. You thank the heavens and stars to have him in your life, you don’t know what you would have done without him all this time.

-“ What are you thinking?”

-“ Well… You know, everyone’s been on the edge these past months with the exams and all. So Juyeon thought I’d be fun to do a small gathering, only close friends.” He says with the smallest voice and you feel all your body tense up. If you knew one thing is that you couldn’t go to parties, not yet. Not when it’s been so long since you’ve seen him and you’re actually starting to move on. To wake up and not think of him.

-“ It sounds fun! But I think I’m gonna pass this time, I better start working on this assignment.”

-“ Cmon (Y/N), it’s been a month. You gotta go to your old self, I miss you. I miss us having fun.” It pains your heart to hear Kevin, you’d love to have the balls to go to their dorms and be yourself, to dance again till you can’t stand up, to laugh freely but you feel that the spark inside of you has died and you’re afraid that if you go, it won’t light up anymore.

-“ I promise you I’ll go back to my old self. You’ll get back your partner in crime, my little moon.” You say hugging him and exiting the class. -“ Just give me a little bit and you’ll get back your star.”

-“ The world better get ready once the moon and star duo comes back.” He says giving you one of his best smiles and you feel a little bit better. You’ve known him for so long and clicked since then. One day you two were in class and someone said you looked like the team rocket from Pokémon, always together being mischievous. And since then you baptized your friendship as the moon and star duo.

As you walk outside you feel his comment nag you in the back of your head. “Why do I have to feel so bad when he’s doing fine? Was everything a lie? Did he truly love me?” These thoughts have been bugging you lately and you’re starting to get annoyed. You thought you were doing fine but sometimes these dark clouds will come and shake you down. And it seems like today was one of these days.

“ So… Juyeon is doing a gathering huh? Do you realize that it means half of the campus is going, right?”

-“ Yeah… We told him only close people and Changmin said that meant around 50 friends.” He says, rolling his eyes. -“ Thank god we have Sangyeon and Jacob to keep him in check or else It’d be a nightmare.” And that makes you laugh because it’s true, you remember one night you were staying the night in their dorms and suddenly Sunwoo and Chanhee started arguing about the smallest thing. Sangyeon only needed to look at them to make them stop. It was so funny, you don’t want to mess with an angry Sangyeon to be honest.

-“ And… Here we go. I knew it.” You hear Kevin’s annoyed voice. -“ They’re asking me to buy drinks, it seems like more people are coming tonight. I have to go now bubs, but we should do something fun this weekend okay? Just the two of us.” He says while hugging you and you nod. Maybe that’s what you need, to start slowly coming out of your cave.

You start making your way to your dorm thinking about the million things you have to get done in these two weeks and you can feel your anxiety already coming. The pressure you’ve been feeling these past few days it’s getting worse everyday. And the worst of it, it’s that you don’t have anyone to talk about it. Unconsciously, you touch your necklace, feeling a little bit better. You look down to the tiny shiny star and remember the night he gave it to you.

-“ I’ll be your star, ready to guide you even in the darkest times, even when there’s no moon shining.” He said softly in your neck. You smiled at him and looked at the charm. It was a little star filled with crystals. Stunning.

-“ When you feel like giving up, remember that I’ll be here with you. Faintly.” Eric said, touching your necklace.

“Where are you now? Where are you now when I need you the most?” You think for yourself, It’s not like you weren’t starting to move on from him, which you are doing. But you were not forgetting him, and you wish you could.

You wish you could erase all these sweet moments, act like nothing happened. Act like him, cold and unbothered. Why did him have to play you? Was everything a lie? Everything he said, was just a trap to only have fun with you? You couldn’t trust your memories, it seems like you only could remember the good ones.

But what about that night you two had a fight on a party because he was with this girl, laughing and talking the whole night while you were alone? You still remember his words: “ Stop being a pain in the ass, if I wanted to hook up with her dont you think I would have already done it?”. And you being a silly naive girl in love, acted like it didn’t hurt you. Like he didnt had the power to destroy you in matter of seconds if he wanted.

And that was the reason you broke up with him.

Everyone knew you were his girl and god forbid anyone who dared to touch you. But that’s it, you were only that, his girl. He didn’t bother to put a label, you were there for him and that was enough.

-“ Eric what are we doing?”- You asked him the night you two broke up.

-“ What do you mean?”-

-“ What are we doing together? What is this? Are we exclusive? Are we truly in a relationship?”- You asked trembling, you weren’t ready to hear his answer.

-“ Not this again (Y/N). I told you I don’t want to talk about it and you keep bringing this up. I said you are my girl and that should be enough.”-

-“ But it isn’t. It isn’t when there’s a queue of girls waiting for you to get tired of me and drop me like a toy. And I had enough, I need to know what I am to you.” You said sitting in his bed.

-“ You are making me tired with all these questions. I said drop it, (Y/N). You know how I am and still chose to be here with me.”-

-“ I chose you bc you said that you couldn’t do this without me, Eric! You told me that I was special and-.”

-“ So? That gives you the right to be called my girlfriend?”- And that was the last straw. You couldn’t believe what you were hearing, it’s like someone snapped you back to reality. Like you just woke up from a beautiful dream and got hit with the true world.

He loved you, but not in the right way.

He cared about you, but not enough.

You got dressed and started to pick yoiur things while crying. You needed to get out as soon as possible, even if it was 3 in the morning.

-“Cmon (Y/N) don’t be like this. I got mad and you know I say things I regret later. Please let’s talk in the morning when we are calm, okay? Babe please-“

-“ Don’t touch me, Eric. I’ve had enough. I can’t keep doing this. I can’t keep falling in love with you more and more when we are not in the same page. Not even in the same book.”- You said putting on your sweatshirt, well, his sweatshirt now yours.

-“ Are you serious? Are you going to be like this? After all we’ve been through?”-

-“ Exactly, after all we’ve been through you still think I don’t deserve to be your girlfriend. And let me correct you, you’re the one who doesn’t deserve to be my boyfriend. I’m tired of your shit.”

-“ I know you’re angry (Y/N) but I swear if you leave this room that’s it.”- He said staring at you. You gave him one last smile and closed the door. It was so late at night and you decided to bring this topic up… That was a stupid move of you to be honest, but it needed to be done.

You can feel your vision getting blurry with all the tears falling but you don’t care anymore.

-“ Star? Is everything ok?”- you feel Kevin’s sleepy voice coming from the other side of the hallway and you let out a sob. -“ Hey, Hey. What happened bubs? Why are you crying? Where’s Eric?”-

-“ I… I- I think we just broke up.” You said hugging him and starting to sob even harder.

- “ Oh gosh…” He said quietly while stroking your hair.

And after that everything was a blur, you only remember him and Haknyeon taking you to your dorm and sleeping there. Everyone knew what happened because they heard you two arguing but no one could bring the topic up. It was typical of you two to argue, but in a matter of hours everything was cleared. But this time was different and both of you knew it.

This time the damage was done and there was no going back now.

A/N: So it’s finally here!! The first chapter of this little series. Thanks to all of you for liking so much the AU and for telling me what you preferred to see on this series. It’ll be after the break up, but I thought it’d be nice to have a little context of why did the discussion happen and to see the dynamic of the relationship. Honestly speaking, I love Eric’s fuckboy vibes so much.. But still it pains me to see him acting this way :( I apologise for any typo or mistake! And remember you can ask in the comments or dms to be tagged and that requests are open!!

[potteresque-ire]

hello, ily metas! thank you for taking the time for them. i hope you dont mind an ask with two follow up questions to your metas i'm curious about: 1) has mxtx rly been sentenced? i have seen others also share this news but other fans have quickly dismissed and gotten pissed at these reports for being fake news that are bad for mxtx, and as fearmongering. 2) for those who want to support yizhan but not the ccp, do you have advice how to navigate fan support and interaction with their media?

Hello! I apologise for the late reply!  You’ve brought up some interesting points, so please forgive me for responding with an essay.

First, about MXTX — This is a follow-up to this post.

Unfortunately, this is all we got—all everyone has got about MXTX’s current situation: on 2020/11/10, she was sentenced in Hangzhou Shang Cheng District’s People’s Court (杭州市上城區人民法院). No details were given on her verdict, due to “人民法院認為不宜在互聯網公布的其它情形”  (“The People’s Court decided it inappropriate to announce further details on the internet”). Here’s a link with the screenshot that showed all the information released about the case that day.

There are enough copies of similar screenshots to this one online, with the differences dependent on where the publisher pulled the information from the same website: 中國裁判文書網, an online archive of verdicts run by China Supreme People’s Court. There’re few reasons, therefore, to believe the information on the screenshot was fake. The link I used was Sina’s Financial News, which I believe is trustworthy enough for China’s standard.

It is also important to note, of course, that two scenarios may still render this screenshot irrelevant. 1) The verdict, which was not mentioned in the screenshot, was “not guilty” and 2) the name listed in the case, 袁依楣, was not MXTX at all.

Few have seemed to suspect 2) to be a possibility. Her real name might have been prior knowledge among some fans, or the combination of her surname and city of residence. 1) has been the where the concern / debate is.

I included China’s rate of conviction in the original post for this reason: acquittal is exceedingly rare (<0.1%) for the arrested in China. This short article discussed some reasons.

So, is it possible that MXTX is now a free woman? Yes. Is it likely? Not at all.

Still, since the probability that MXTX is imprisoned isn’t 100%, is spreading this news smearing her name? Fear-mongering?

I can only answer for myself, Anon, but my answer is no for both questions, which is why I’ve felt comfortable posting about her case. MXTX’s alleged “crimes” are things we already knew she did, or common practices among Chinese IP writers. We know she penned MDZS and other BL works; we know MDZS, in particular, has an 18+ element. She was said to have sold merch based on her works, but that wasn’t unusual at all for writers in Jinjiang, where she published her writing. Even those who don’t like her have seemed to agree that it was her writing that got her into trouble, not some other crimes she could’ve committed.

IMO, a guilty verdict doesn’t tell us as much about her as it does about the judicial system, the business practices of her country. It’s worth re-mentioning that media giants such as Tencent are closely tied to the government; Tencent’s WeChat, for example, is part of China’s Great Firewall and is used for surveillance, for censorship and removal of political dissidents. What MXTX’s case hints at is this: the government has (very likely) convicted her, while its close allies are continuing to use her works—works that got her into legal trouble in the first place—to make money. Some fans of MXTX have questioned if the courts have censored the details of the case to save the embarrassment of the rich and powerful, calling what has happened to MXTX 人血饅頭 (“human blood steamed buns”), an idiom used to describe the act of profiting out of someone elses’ life.

As for fear-mongering, here are my thoughts ~ it would’ve been fear-mongering if the public has access to the facts, and not years after they happen. Specifically, it would’ve been fear-mongering to leak the rumours of MXTX’s sentencing, when the judicial system is transparent and the case details will soon be published for all to see. Why? Because “fear” comes from the unknown, and “-monger” is the unnecessary promotion, stirring-up of this fear.

To promote, stir up anything, one needs a reference level. The reference level in this scenario is this: what is the level of fear if the facts about MXTX’s (and other BL writers’) situation are known? Of course, this knowledge doesn’t make MXTX’s experience any easier or more just; it doesn’t cause her less fear. However, she isn’t the target audience of this likely-to-be-true rumour. The target audience is the public and in particular, those who consume and/or generate BL material online.

What is the level of fear among this population if the facts about MXTX’s (and other BL writers’) situation are known? It’s the (relative) comfort in knowing the government’s stance on what they do: how the administration feels about BL, 18+ BL, and their distribution methods. The comfort comes from having the right information to decide how to act accordingly. For example, if I’m a BL writer based in China and I know the court has found MXTX guilty of bypassing publishing houses but not of writing M/M romance, then I’ll know to not produce paper versions of my writing, but I can keep writing.

This reference level of fear is unavailable here, however, since the government has decided to withhold all details about the case. Without this reference level, fear-mongering becomes a ... difficult to define concept.

Are these likely-to-be-true rumours agents of fear, or are they hints on how to survive in a country that lacks transparency?

Continuing with the example of I being a Chinese BL writer, since I cannot expect to hear more facts about MXTX, this rumour is all I’ve got in choosing what to do with my hobby, in deciding whether it is safe to continue. As I’m aware that a rumour isn’t a fact, I first research on the rumour’s likelihood of truth (similar to what I’ve done for MXTX’s case), and cross my fingers that I don’t get it wrong.

By doing so, I’m turning these rumours into my survival guide.

Is it risky? Yes. Is it exhausting? Absolutely. But this is the way of life for people who live under secretive, authoritarian governments—the authoritarian element making it impossible to demand more facts. It may take people outside such regimes some time to get used to—to the lifestyle, and to the idea that, in a place where news is often synonymous with propaganda, rumours are breadcrumbs of truth that should be sieved through with equal care as one would sieve through the news. Heeding, considering the probable truth of what the authority has deemed to be fear-mongering rumours can be a matter of literal life and death. 

Take...COVID. (I apologize for bringing up this unpleasant topic!)

I shall link to an article about the early spread of COVID in Wuhan here and ask: were Dr. Li Wenliang and the seven other doctors fear-mongering? Wuhanese chose to believe in the government, but at what cost to them? What would the world be like today if they took the early COVID rumours as true and masked up like Hong Kongers—Hong Kongers who weren’t any smarter or better, but had simply learned their painful lessons from the 2003 SARS epidemic? 

(Why hadn’t the Wuhanese learned? Because the government has long changed the narrative of SARS, taught their people that the illness originated in Hong Kong.) 

(How can one learn from past mistakes if one pretends those mistakes never existed?)

You must be wondering, Anon, why I’m talking about COVID when your next question is about YiZhan. The death of Dr Li Wenliang on February 7th, 2020, sparked a demand for freedom of speech rarely seen in internet-age China. Its fury, its ferocity forced the government to change its stance on Dr Li, again an unusual move. Since January 2020, Weibo had been censoring COVID news and opinion pieces that shedded a negative light to the central government; after the death of Dr Li, the censorship apparatus stepped up, making way for the propaganda machine to kick in later and change the narrative of the pandemic.

Here are some questions without definite answers, but may be food for thought for YiZhan fans:

1) While the Chinese government’s censorship apparatus (including Weibo) might have silenced the voices of dissent, of mourning on the surface, was it more likely to pacify, or fuel the anger of netizens, many of whom had lost loved ones, many of whom were still under quarantine?

2) Less than three weeks after the death of Dr Li, a group of fans demanded even *more* censorship from the government—the closing of an internet website that had been seen as a relatively free space to express oneself. How would these netizens react, even though they knew little about these fans or their idol?  

(It was, in the context of the massive silencing of COVID discussions in China, that I learned about the ban of AO3. There had been rumours that the government would censor more websites on 2020/03/01. When I read about AO3′s ban on 2/27, my thoughts were 1) Hmm. This came two days early. 2) AO3? Really?)

(I wouldn’t watch The Untamed or know who Gg was until several months later.)

Now, Anon, this is a good time to get to your CCP (Chinese Communist Party) question.

The very short answer is no. There’s no way to support YiZhan without, to a certain level, supporting the CCP. As mentioned above, the media companies are all part of China’s surveillance system. Weibo is where freedom of speech is curbed. Our two boys have been part of the propaganda machine; the BBC article linked above had a tiny picture of Gg on it, as he was a performer in the Hero in Harm’s Way (最美逆行者), a “real-life based” drama on COVID. DD just did a show glorying the Chinese police force (and here’s a video of the same force welding doors to lock in COVID-stricken residents).

Nonetheless, here’s my first advice: please do not beat yourself up for supporting YiZhan!

Gg and Dd are people who live within the system, inside the Great Firewall. They understand the world the way their government has taught them to—not only in school, but also in the news and media. Like most youths in every country, they’re patriotic—and to expect them to be otherwise, especially because of information they don’t have, is both unrealistic and unfair. Even if they do know about certain things impermissible within the Firewall, in China (as in many Communists countries), openly expressing / performing one’s proper political leanings (ie. loyalty towards CCP) is among the most important pre-requisites for any job. This has been especially true for c-ent in recent years .

They, like most of their countrymen, are doing what they have to do.

In this case, it comes to us, our decisions on how to interact with their works. How should we deal with them, their propaganda elements?

The answer, of course, varies from person to person. Personally, I’ve chosen the approaches of “immunisation” and “restriction”. By “immunisation”, I mean learning about as much historical and sociopolitical facts from non-CCP sponsored sources; this is understandably difficult for someone who doesn’t already have some familiarity with the culture and politics of the region, and/or cannot read the language. 

Restriction means limiting my consumption of media produced by China. I avoid shows (dramas, documentaries, variety etc) featuring topics that are likely to contain heavy propaganda, such as the military, the police, Hong Kong/Macao/Taiwan, and of course, anything pertaining to the CCP, from its rise to its governance of the country.

In general, I’m wary of all information presented about the post-monarchy years (post 1911), even though CCP wouldn’t begin its reign until after WWII (1949). Why so early? 1) Because CCP was formed in 1921 and so its glorification requires a change of narrative since then; 2) because the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang, KMT), which governed China between 1912 and 1949 (the so-called Republican Era 民國), would end up exiling to and setting up a new government in Taiwan.

How much propaganda should one expect in shows depicting the country post-1911? The current TV and webdrama directives (previously discussed in this post) offer some hints. Here are my translations of the relevant items:

D7) Dramas about the Republican era: Glorification of the Republican Era, the Beiyang Government, and Warlord Era requires strict control.

D10) Crime drama: crime drama is the focus of content auditing. The Ministry of Public Security (Pie note: in charge of law enforcement, ie, police) will be involved in the audit. The process of crime solving cannot be exposed; criminal psychology and motivations can however be depicted in detail. Undercover police cannot use drugs or kill, or damage the image of the police force. Criminals must be punished by law.

D12) Dramas featuring realistic topics: realistic topics must adhere to the correct world view, philosophy of life and moral values. They cannot place too strong an emphasis on social conflicts, must showcase the beautiful lives of the commoners. Regular folks should display larger-than-life sentiments and aspirations; they can pursue wealth, but must use proper means to do so; they cannot damage the public image of specific employment types, groups and social organisations. Do not preach negative or decadent world view, philosophy of life and moral values. Do not exaggerate, amplify social issues; do not over showcase, display the darker sides of society; do not preach affluence, avoid things that have no basis in real life.

D16) Dramas featuring the Revolution (Pie note: CCP’s coming to power): 2019 is the publicity period of the 70th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. Although the “Three Importances” (important revolution, important people, important events) are still encouraged, the  National Radio and Television Administration requires all departments, at all levels, to strengthen the control of content and the overall management of the industry, and focus on the auditing of content pertaining to the Sino-Japanese war and espionage dramas.

These directives (as those translated in the other post) are as vague as they are restrictive, and to err on the side of caution, production companies tend to “overachieve” to avoid going against headwinds at the censorship board. This means their products have a tendency to malign the Republican Era (D7). It means they will likely twist history in trying to depict the CCP as faultless heroes (D16). It means they'll probably present a utopian-like society and call it reality-based (D12), a society in which the good guys share the same values as the CCP and always win (D10).

Yes, my “restriction” means I skipped Hero in Harm’s Way. It means I’ve never listened to Gg’s version of 我和我的祖國 despite my absolute adoration of his voice. It means I just missed Dd’s performance in the law enforcement celebration event. It means I don’t plan on watching Being A Hero and Ace Troops.

So here’s where I’ve drawn the line, Anon, but it doesn’t mean that’s what anyone should do. Only you alone can decide where your own comfort zone is. I write these metas in the hopes that it can offer a … gateway for those who’d like to understand, with a more telescopic lens, Gg and Dd’s country—a country that holds a particularly strong hold over its citizens’ fate including, yes, their romantic fate. It’s not my wish to impose my opinions on anyone.

If I have other hopes… It’s this. Please, as long as it’s safe for you to talk, do not self-censor—especially about facts, especially on sites like Tumblr or Twitter that have long been banned by the Chinese government. I don’t mean one should go about and confront those who insist on a different version of reality. To undo opinions rooted in years of education, IMO, the process has to be voluntary, and the information is already at the fingertips of those who’re surfing these sites and wish to learn more. More importantly, open discussions of these topics may be risky for those who still have close ties to China, and keeping them safe should always be the top priority. 

What I mean is simply this ~ please do not feel obliged to agree with every perspective presented in YiZhan’s work just because you support the leads. Please do not feel you must remain silent about the CCP—its good, bad and ugly—just because your favourite stars happen to come from the country it’s ruling. And please remember: “Chinese”, as a term, has always included people who live outside CCP’s control, many of whom still fully embrace the culture, traditions and values of Historical China, a 5000-years long string of dynasties with shifting borders, ethnic makeup and customs. The Untamed is a mainland Chinese production, yes, but its genre, its manner of presenting certain traditions, wouldn’t have been developed, or flourished, without the diaspora. The CCP has only been the ruling party of one country, the People’s Republic of China, for 71 years, and as a party with foreign (soviet) roots and a record of destroying the pillar of the country’s tradition, Confucianism, it doesn’t own a monopolistic say on how every Chinese should think and act—no matter how much it insists it does—or how everyone should think and speak about China and its people.

It isn’t qualified.

loved your analysis on julieta. as a cane user with chronic pain, while i'd love to be able to live pain-free, it's also comforting to know that i wouldn't be completely stripped of it, yk? most able bodied ppl say to me 'i would take your place if i could' and dont seem to understand what it means to Me. meanwhile julieta over here is actually listening to her patients and isn't focused on 'fixing' them so much as she's just. soothing their aches.

i'd also like to add that every scene of julieta healing someone has her Directly feeding the person healed so another restriction on her powers could be that she has to be present, hence the long line. i feel like that just adds to the idea that julieta's food isn't a permanent solution, more focused on relieving pain than true 'healing.' which is honestly a refreshing approach and also adds to her character- how she tries to help Mirabel, but kind words won't heal the cracks.

sorry for the essay i just have a lot of emotions abt a compassionate healer coexisting with disabled people

Thank you so much ^^ And yeah a couple people have pointed that out which makes perfect sense honestly and is also really lovely.

I'm glad you liked my video and please don't apologise I loved reading this.

[memryse]

are you "making your writing sound deeper than it actually is" or are you actually just drawing good conclusions and thinking that because it's coming to you easily that it's not very deep? because idk i don't want this to feel like a brag, but i'm also very good at essay writing and I used to think the same thing about my stuff? i was like oh this isn't that deep idk why everyone likes it, i didn't spend ages analyzing it to come to these conclusions i just wrote it down! But then I realized after talking with other people (like teachers) that i wasn't making my writing sound deeper than it actually was it was just like that to start with. idk if this makes sense at all, i just mean that you shouldn't view your writing as only surface level because you're probably looking a lot deeper than you realize.

not sure if this is relevant to you, but i don't want to see anyone put their writing down! i've read your analyses and they all seem very well thought out and impressive.

also, PLEASE keep writing analyses and dont think people are getting annoyed with them! i swear that at least i won't! i know you have a last life blog but i'm a mod over at dsmpanalysis. we have like 2.8k followers and literally THOUSANDS of essays archived. it's a different fandom, yes, but it's still in mcytblr and i think it shows that there's tons and tons of people who are into the analysis/meta side of things. Many of the people whose essays are archived by us have moved to LLSMP lately too, so you're not alone. I don't think posting essays/analysis/meta is weird at all and it's probably been one of the primary ways i've interacted with members of mcytblr for months. I love love love this side of fandom and i definitely do not consider it any less than fanartists or fanfic writers :D

anyway this got long O.O -quaranmine

you are so lovely 🥺

it's like. i definitely don't think this entire side of fandom is weird or anything, it's why i joined mcytblr really and i absolutely do not want to be dismissive of all the amazing works others put out. i do apologise if it came off that way, i probably shouldn't be allowed to ramble like that at 3am. it's just a personal concern really; i'm not usually one to contribute much of value to any fandom, so now that i actually am doing something that i'm happy with, part of me is like hm is this worth being proud of or are you attaching way too much value to it. it's more of a fear of overvaluing myself than me simply undervaluing myself, i suppose? but i'm certainly not going to stop posting, so it's all fine anyway :D

hey i'm wondering if you'd answer this since you're studying psychology i'd love to know ur pov/thoughts about it cause it was just something i was thinking about recently, you seem really lovely and if you do take the time to read n answer thank you in advance! 

growing up we're sort of expected to mature by 18 or so, right? so how come a portion of adults can behave in certain ways that make them seem so immature, or emotionally immature idk the difference... if adults 30+ were as mature as they say they are why does it seem easy for relationship to break up, or to get a divorce or for their partner to cheat even? 

then there's the odd teenager who often tries to portray a mature adult at a young age, yet they still do things teenagers typically would do like stay out late no tell anyone, is there a reason for some to be like this? it doesnt make sense why act like an adult then?

i'm also then wondering why adults get married at young age, have kids then say they're tired or not bored but fed up of having the responsibility or they kind of complain a little about it then have more kids... it just seems irresponsible of them to have kids

why then when in relationships do adults 30+ seem to kind of give up and just cheat? like thats the laziest way out

i've had classmates who were 20+ act like teens as they should do not all grown up and matured fully bc that takes the fun out of life imo if you take it too seriously. what do you think is classed as being mature these days? cause social media its like all maturity is out the window and folk dont care whats they say to each other , kind of get overly dramatic or easily get into arguments for no real reason  

lets say ppl do cheat on other why do ppl not take responsibility or apologise much cause my aunt was a mess when it happened like the guy already had someone else, then just like moved out like nothing happened

thanks again if you reply! have a lovely day or night <3

Answer :

I find it quite interesting what you are saying and I’ll try to answer your questions without developing too much ( or else I would write a whole essay ahaha)

So in psychology, we tend to say that a “teenager” reaches their maturity both psychologically, physiologically and neurologically by the age of 25/26. But, matury is a social concept that has variations depending on the culture and the social context (also etheny can have influence).

I personally think that some adults are stuck on what we call the “a-structure” or “limited state” in psychology, which literally means that the person is stuck on a psychic level. This state makes adults develop pathologies, but they also make them behaving “immaturely”, they do things without consciousness, don’t comprend the consequences of their actions, might have dangerous behaviours, ect. Although it’s a lot more complicated than this, I believe we gain maturity by experience and not with age. I guess the our society today is confused and brainwashed by a lot of stereotypes that easily influence people.

As for cheating, I don’t think it’s a maturity problem (even if in some cases yes, it’s all part of the a-structure, where people cheat on the ones they love just to get reactions out of them), but more of an instinct and impulse. When you cheat it means you aren’t satisfied, there’s needs that aren’t being attended to. There’s something not right on the relationship.

I don’t really know what sort of answer you are expecting or if you want me to develop a certain point, so please don’t hesitate to ask 💕

can I vent n kinda confess here just a good Ramble please okioki sO im 17 (in my penultimate year (year 12 in the good ol UK) of school) and so it all began when this Boy in my form class asked me to thProm and it was so lovely i want to Re Live the moment every day. we were in computing class and we sit next to eachother and he sais "hey are you going to prom" n im like "hm yea even tho idont want to" (bc i hate dresses and fuss and parties) and hes like "its okay rachel you cn go w me" {1/???}

n then my heart did this thing tht only ever happens when he talks to me cs hes so polite and he alwasys says my name like wOw thats so Intimate how could you abd i feel sick but i live it?? andd i PAnicked when he said tht like dhbj so i blurted out “NO” and the. n i kick myself so hard and apologise “bc i already arrange the o go w my friends sorry” and ye i do kinda like this boy i guess bc he likes anime too n he reccommened one piece n kuroshitsuji to me n i enjoy them and {2/??}

i just pretended not to care hahahhah a aha H so then Prom happened, i didnt say Hi to him at th prom bc HA me,,initiating a convo??then pigs can fly! and he looked so handsome when i saw him from afar in th e crowd i hate evrything and so he went to college and i stayed in my school and ive not seen him since bc were not close friends just former form classmates and anime conversationers in the computing class. i couldnt stop thinking abt him and Cue the period of crying and regret and {4/??}

and “what if id sais yes then or then or said hi to him” and i did that toxic thing of making up a fantasy world where i was more friendly to him so tht he would like me and smile to me more i actually drafted in my notes for ages a message to him that id like to send ,,, like"oh howdy long time no see yea im sorry i said no to you when you asked me to prom" trying to hint “hi shall we use Magic to turn the clock backward and go to prom tgether even if jst like fridns like you wanted” and {5?/?}

and we could be closer and shit agh i regret regret regret i actually sent the message to him i think it ws “hi sorry i didnt say hi to you at th prom” about twi months after the prom and as soon as i sent it i had to go to th bathroom because i was so close to being sikc an d my heart was doing a louis hamilton alexander mcqueen weeeeooooo and ge replied “its okay dont worry how are you” and he used th (^.^) emoction how Fkin cute and i was reminded of how polite and friendly he was {6/??}

and friendly i dont know how he does it bc i cant talk to people properly and So Yeah he saaid the words “ive missed people too” meaning,,,, he doesnt miss me and even if he ever did he doesnt now!!! and tahts it thats the end ive never seen him since aNd its been overa year? since thatDay and whenever i see him on my social media i hate everything ad i just i just {8/8} im so s sorry for spamming you like i would nt wanna read an essay on some sappy schoolgirls first crush (fck me i said it)

hi its Sappy Schoolgirl again did i mention me n this boy were also anime friends with this other girl who is now a close friend of mine,, he siad to me once we should all hang out sometime which hasnt happened yet and i wont forget that time in Computing class when we were talking abt Subway and i said id never been (since then ive been twice n thought of him) and hes like “!!no!! youve never been to subway! i will take you! this saturday!!” but that didnt happen yk he was only joking

tumblr ate your third ask but this was such a rollercoaster omg….,,,,not to be sappy but ur love for this boy is so pure u even get excited over his emoji usage omg that is so real n cute wow…..i feel so bad it didnt end the way u wanted to n i feel like maybe meeting up with him once just to hang out n tell him how u feel might be good just to get closure about the whole thing? but that’s just my point of view ofc ! i hope it turns out better for u ah this really was like reading a high school love story that needs 1 more chapter added about the happy ending :(

[footnotestoplato]

yeah, I get you. ok how dare you mention all those philosophies and not elaborating. i mean no pressure but could you please say something more?

ok! sorry. it goes like this (i apologise if i offend some sort of belief you hold. these arent objective criticism, just issues as i see them - if you have some sort of query please message me personally i do not want to start a massive argument where everybody has to see it).

kantian ethics is the epitome of philosophy being divorced from practicality, the rules are stilted, shift dependant on what maxim u put in, and kant ultimately compromised its entire logical basis because he hated gay people. not great.

pomo upsets me because it seem inextricable from a deliberate sort of veiling of knowledge. i believe philosophy should be accessible and pomos movement away from ‘the norm’ brings with it exactly the sort of pretence people hate philosophy for. also i believe in objective truth so. you know. that.

empiricism seems to have gotten too big for its boots lately, and makes all sorts of claims about its own validity and the necessary flaws of rationalism which i currently hold to be unfounded for the most part. i believe in logic and numbers and all that jazz being inherently non physical but very much real. im platonic, its how we do.

utilitarianism is a nice idea but i did once write a whole essay on why i disagree with its most fundamental principle and it was all downhill from there buddy. 

finally dawkins brand atheism as i put it. uh. just bashing people because they believe different things is not ok. his philosophy itself doesnt strike me as particularly inspired from what i’ve read of it and his proofs are like. so-so. i just dont think he goes about it the right way. you know?anyway, thats everything. please dont be mad at me if i disagree with you. its all with love. the ideas are fascinating and valuable in their own right. they just dont sit well with me is all. and thats ok. lots of love, from conor xo

'Its fin whollyy hither. The famed Admissions Hero dissection of the infamous University of simoleons supple custodyt. These strains ar annually nonorious for their nastyy and peculiarity. Our precise stimulate Vinay Bhaskara (U cabbage 17) offers his scoop up advice for tackling these school principals in this all-around(prenominal) post.\n\nQuestion 1:\n\nHow does the University of kale, as you whop it now, satisfy your appetite for a particular proposition kind of encyclopedism, community, and upcoming(a)? Please breed with few extraordinary(predicate)ity your aver wishes and how they relate to UChicago.\n\nThis is, for the astir(predicate) part, a unc come inh blot whitherfore give instruction X look for, and our analysis of it is largely tied to that principle. The Why school beat X demonstrate is what we analogous to name a check-the-box show.

The underlying to this type of turn up is to avoid platitudes, much(prenominal) as the campus is beautiful, or the assimilators soak up a tight buckle community. Whenever possible, you compulsion to reach to factors that argon specialized and unique to the University of Chicago.

We would caution readers that in that location be fix more(prenominal) factors than ar presented on this carg mavinn, and that research (at least an time of day or so) would do hygienic towards conclusion the specifics most sufficient for each appliers profile. We would likewise warn readers that unless they excogitation on mete r reading through cardinal old age worth of Scav lists, name-dropping Scav exit likely wound you.\n\nThe University of Chicago is a bastion of deliver market economical science (at least coitus to peer institutions) and is notable diachronicly for ho employment Milton Friedman and Gary Becker, amongst other laureates of the Chicago School of economic science\nThe University of Chicago has a thriving governmental activism scene, that governmental debate at the university is unusually knock off around the convey of Politics, headed by indemnity-making savant David Axelrod\nThe W present period of trifle Goes to Die dictum has more or less verity to it, simply it real should be translated as If you enjoy accomplishment and/or running(a) hard, U Chicago is the place for you. If you burn set around looseness with schoolmanians, UChicago is an above intermediate place\nThe learning community at UChicago has an unusual trance with Durkheim\nTheoretica l noesis is prized over practical knowledge, though as with all generalizations ab stunned UChicago, this effect has dull somewhat in recent categorys\nIf you like to / atomic number 18 good at writing, the Core entrust be a happy / no-hit place for you.\n scotch deflation is fierce, but the ethos of actually earning an A or B is recognize if you wad pop off the tenor and wad with occasional to a fault-ran\nThese are average a snippet, and surrounded by the internet, conversations with actual UChicago students, and fifty-fifty published materials, you apprise learn furthest more.\n\nQuestion 2 (Optional):\n\nShare with us a few of your best- whapd books, poems, authors, burgeon forths, plays, pieces of euphony, histrions, performers, paintings, creative persons, blogs, magazines, or newspapers. Feel superfluous to touch on single, some, or all of the categories listed, or attention deficit dis collection a category of your witness.\n\nanother(prenominal) figure the box examination, but here the delineate is to avoid plentiful the admissions counselors what they want to see. acquire some scene of your personality, or the organizing al-Qaida of your activity, and generate lists of items in those spheres.\n\nFor example, I chose to list out my favourite(a) airlines, airports, aircraft, aircraft programs, and other aviation-related items (see my narration if its ill-defined why).\n\nAnd dont be terror-s frauden to share some silly (non-academic or non-erudite) items, especially if they tramp be juxtaposed against a consequence tooth root to stand by balance out your personality. For example, I could prevail opted to list my favorite romantic comedies as a dilettante of such films (Number 1 is It Could Happen to You for those kindle in rom-coms). fag outt faint-hearted a agency from some amour like that.\n\nEXTENDED wadvas (REQUIRED; CHOOSE ONE)\n\n1) Whats so amvictimization near remarkable numbers?\n\n-Insp ired by Mario Rosasco, fork of 2009\n\nThis displace offers a immobile platform for controverting challenges in terms of ostracization or exclusion from monastic order or until now school. Topics such as bullying, struggles with sexual orientation, or racial indistinguishability could all be contractd by using the word unmated as a basis to research them, though choosing a light affair (such as the time you couldnt go on a field of honor slip up because of a depressed leg unless written in a clearly sarcastic manner) would likely not be as impactful.\n\nAnother natural selection is to use this set off as a base to research a cult for data analysis, math, numbers, or thus far patterns. For example, a particularly arouse approach to this endeavor could be to muse on your love for math in carve ups with the prison term lengths of the Fibonacci sequence. Basically, you would hold open carve ups in the quest manner, each talk ofing a portion of why you love math, describing your experiences with math, or exploring how math guides your future plans. The first paragraph would be a blank seat (0), two peerless metre paragraphs (1,1), unrivaled two sentence paragraph (2), a 3 sentence paragraph (3), a five sentence paragraph (5), an octad sentence paragraph (8), and so forth. The text edition would just be presented as if it were normal, but at the finale you could point out the pattern as well. Regardless of how you do it, use this establish as an extract to explore a genuine low density in whatever pattern or odd thing you choose.\n\n2) In French, thither is no departure between sense of right and wrong and consciousness. In Japanese, there is a word that specifically refers to the splittable wooden chopsticks you tick at restaurants. The German word fremdschämen encapsulates the feeling you get when youre embarrassed on behalf of individual else. All of these require explanation in order to in good order communicate t heir marrow, and are, to alter degrees, untranslatable. Choose a word, tell us what it means, and accordingly apologise why it cannot (or should not) be translated from its original language. \n\n-Inspired by Emily Driscoll, an entranceway student in the Class of 2018\n\nThis command act offers a strong fortune to explore a deep touch or fervent hobby, and in trustworthy cases, stock-still lends itself to a bit of an academic and reflective t star. The constitute is to pull out a word, phrase, or even earpiece that is unique to that field and use it as a illustration for your smell, or to embodiment a meshing of analogies to your life.\n\nFor example, a unstainedly trained Indian singer energy pretend the traditional Carnatic notes of Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa- might plead against translation into the bar western unisonal theater notes A, B, C, D, E, F, G (these are not the repoint comparison s I am aware, but I am not a musician by training) because the Carnatic ones necessitate the weight of Indias hi tommyrot of exertion and a true deliverdom from Western control. This lends itself to rich and knock-down(a) academic writing, but the real trick will be to tie the prove back to yourself, by chance by discussing how Carnatic music get outs your Indian root to resonate in a way that playing a song with Indian influences on the genus Viola simply would not. You could besides argue the conference and claim that intermingle Western and Carnatic music (by giving more Westerners the ability to play Carnatic music) would help in the process of pagan assimilation, and on a personal level, allow you to convey the meaning that your Indian heritage holds. Likely, you have your own interesting pagan idiosyncrasy; this is the establish to explore it.\n\n3) flyspeck pigs, french hens, a family of bears. Blind mice, musketeers, the Fates. drift of an atom, laws of me ntation, a signpost for composition. Omne trium perfectum? Create your own group of 3s, and take in why and how they hit together.\n\n-Inspired by Zilin Cui, an incoming student in the Class of 2018\n\n sequence it may be tempting to choose something with the preface Three, as hinted at in the prompt, a more palatable survival might be to separate your personality/life into tierce distinct parts. each part would demonstrate a incompatible facet of you, and tie them together would allow you to create a distinctive, yet sympathetic personality. While the trio items can be unique, one or several paragraphs should be devoted to explaining and exploring the interconnectivity. If your lotion has a common theme, hooking three items within that theme would add to the transition of the judge.\n\nFor example, my group of three would be Boeing house in Seattle, capital of the United Kingdom city Airport, and Hyderabad Airport. Boeing survey in Seattle (obviously) would agree aviation. capital of the United Kingdom City Airport is the closest airport to gym shoe Wharf and the London School of political economy and thus would toy my academic interest, temporary hookup Hyderabad Airport (Hyderabad is crustal plate to the Telugu movie industry) would salute my love for Indian films. The broader synthesis is that I was perfervid near aviation, which took up the sight of my time. In the akin manner that coronation bankers operate, I am rigorous and data-driven and play to gain economic principles to make day-after-day decisions. And when I limber up (whether through film or sport), I head in the complete icy direction towards as bitty mentation as possible, which is back up by the pleasant-tasting inanity of Telugu film. Constructing an stress around these parameters would be the goal.\n\n4) Were pH an nerve of personality, what would be your pH and why? (Feel free to respond acidly! Do not be neutral, for that is base!)\n\n-Inspired by Joshua Harris, Class of 2016\n\n formerly again this demonstrate offers an hazard to explore ones personality, and a pompous approach would place psyche who is mellow strung and working well with stress (such as yours truly) at the top of the list with a juicy pH of 1 or 2 (remember that pH is an backward scale), while placing someone unflappable at a pH of 12 or 13. This is certainly an plectrum that you could pursue, and obviously this prompt has strong prayer to those who are passionate about science. For you guys, utilizing the chemical science pinpoint of pH, possibly to issue a series of acid-base reactions that represent your personality (each one covering a facet), might be a recyclable strategy.\n\nHowever, the secret prospect here is for those who are passionate about art. Most paints (save water garbles) have a specific pH value. hoof your favorite annotate of paint, try to grow out its pH value (and you can use the internet), and use that as the peg f or your set about. Your favorite color is frequently a reflection of some facet of your personality, and considering that could let you with an interesting opportunity.\n\n5) A neon evocation by the artist Jeppe Hein in UChicagos Charles M. Harper tenderness asks this fountainhead for us: Why are you here and not somewhere else? (There are many potential difference values of here, but we already know youre here to apply to the University of Chicago; pick any here besides that one).\n\n-Inspired by Erin Hart, Class of 2016\n\nThis question seems rather make upential, and that is a potential opportunity for those who enjoy philosophic discussions. In particular, this shew lends itself extremely well to various academic treatments. Those who are scientifically oriented could discuss the nature of return (and the unresolved question of dark matter) or the physics of intercourse (speech which enables human party to be here), while affable sciences-oriented students could r eference classical thinkers to build a case to function the questions. While unremarkably focusing whole on academic, or even prohibitionist content is a significant danger, the University of Chicago has a goodish respect for theoretic learning. And for students passionate about learning, or even research, this is conveying an prerequisite part of personality.\n\nAnother direction for this essay is to explore a significant life event that has brought you to where you are. Examples hold moving to contrastive locations, changing familial state of affairss that have cut off your life, or even natural catastrophes you have faced. Whatever you choose, you can use this essay to tie in your life story provided it is significantly unique or interesting. For example, a Chinese American who is not the oldest blood relative in the family could write about how chinas One-Child form _or_ system of government prompted his or her parents to move to the United States, take about a slew of assorted opportunities. The writer could thusly take this essay into a more or less academic direction, discussing chinawares policy and its socioeconomic effects. Alternatively, one could take this essay into a pagan direction and discuss the cultural differences that exist between mainland China and the US. Of course, this is just one example; its up to you to get hold a situation that conveys your story best.\n\n6) In the spirit of adventurous inquiry, pose a question of your own. If your prompt is original and thoughtful, then you should have petty trouble writing a bully essay. Draw on your best qualities as a writer, thinker, visionary, genial critic, sage, citizen of the world, or future citizen of the University of Chicago; take a little risk, and have fun. \n\nhither we will recite our advice from shoemakers last divisions like prompt, because it still holds true. This essay really poses the highest risk but also the highest potential reward. pa ternity your own question allows you to write an advanced essay that each tackles a difficult or moot topic (for example, my essay from last year tackled why mainstream Hollywood films are more valuable than patently more clever independent films), or presents the in formation with a unique format (such as a conversation with a dead historical figure).\n\n\n\nFor more ideas in the train of thought needed to tackle these UChicago essays, check out Vinays dissection of last years supplement.
