hiii!! if it's not too much to ask, can i get the twst dormleaders with a crush/s/o with an emotion ahoge?

the ahoge droops down when they're sad, stands straight when they're surprised, forms a heart when they're flustered...etc.

Characters: Housewardens x Gender Neutral Reader

Synopsis: with reader that has a emotion ahoge

Warnings: fluff, spelling mistakes

𝑅𝒾𝒹𝒹𝓁𝑒 𝑅𝑜𝓈𝑒𝒽𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉𝓈

He’s flustered whenever you're flustered: it wouldn’t have been obvious if it weren't for the strand of hair that forms into a heart and you just looking away from him. He’s curious about your hair and it’s moving, reflecting the way your emotions and you look very cute with your moving strand of hair (he wants to send him a photo of your ahoge).

𝐿𝑒𝑜𝓃𝒶 𝒦𝒾𝓃𝑔𝓈𝒸𝒽𝑜𝓁𝒶𝓇

His cute little herbivore has something special about themselves, isn’t that cute? He makes empty threats like “What pretty little piece of hair makes me want to rip from your head” why is he messing with you? Because he feels like it and your pretty eyes widening and ahoge standing up in the air. He’ll keeping saying empty threats just to mess with you

𝒜𝓏𝓊𝓁 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝑒𝓃𝑔𝓇𝑜𝓉𝓉𝑜

It’s when Floyd pulls your ahoge saying it’s his way of playing with you, Azul has to step in since Floyd was having too much “fun” with you instead of working at the lounge. They think that it’s good to understand what someone is thinking just by looking at their face but your obvious, way too obvious one look tells what you're feeling. Now he doesn’t bother guessing if you like since your ahoge shows it all off.

𝒦𝒶𝓁𝒾𝓂 𝒜𝓁-𝒜𝓈𝒾𝓂

WOW! Does it move on its own? It does! SO COOL! Now that just gave him more of a reason to hang out with you than how much he already does— he wants to touch your ahoge whenever you're feeling other emotions a lot if you want him to, if you don’t then it’s fine! 

𝒱𝒾𝓁 𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑒𝓃𝒽𝑒𝒾𝓉

When you first saw Vil the strands of your hair turned into a heart, it always happened even while your together, his ego was getting better with the way he affected you to the point your own hair would jump up for him since he’s that beautiful! (He once tried to clip down your ahoge and the clip went flying across the room.

𝐼𝒹𝒾𝒶 𝒮𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓊𝒹

He wants to grab it, like really wants to grab it, whenever you come to visit, he just stares at it while it moves around in such an animated way, ‘pull it’ is what he’s thinking to himself, well he loses to his thoughts and just randomly grab onto your ahoge and gently tugs it while you whine at his action. So cute, your look so cute looking at him like that, your hand on top of your ahoge to keep from pulling it again. (Ortho lectures him) He's sorry HE REALLY IS but you look so..so cute he couldn’t help it! Forgive him, please!

𝑀𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓈 𝒟𝓇𝒶𝒸𝑜𝓃𝒾𝒶

How cute you were, your ahoge jumping up and down happily while walking over to see him, you really are one of a kind child of man, aren’t you? He tries his best to comfort you when you're feeling bad, grabbing your ahoge that was drooping down and making it stand up since you look better when you're happy.

if you liked this, consider tipping me on ko-fi! it'd mean a lot!

"I'd rather have you than three meals a day.": a thematic analysis

In February of 2024, a comic sprung up created by tumblr user Diesel (username rontra) based off of the Persona series. This comic, known under the title of "I'd rather have you than three meals a day." (which I will refer to as "failteacher yuri" for short), follows the story of two characters from the series: Isako Toriumi from Persona 3 and Sadayo Kawakami from Persona 5. These two characters find themselves entangled in each others' lives by complete happenstance, the comedic framing slowly revealing its fangs of intrigue and drama as more and more of both of their pasts come to light. Today, we will be discussing how the author explores themes of self-acceptance and facing one's past.

A small foreword...

As of the time I'm writing this, there are currently only 19 updates out so far of failteacher yuri, with a 20th on the way. I tried not to rush this analysis, but I also got really excited to write it! And also it's 4am!! So if I missed anything I am so so sorry...!!!

Next, I will be partially referring to characters in accordance with this chart, since this is important to the themes of the self in my opinion. Sometimes I don't specify. Bear with me a little please...

The True Self

There is the obvious point to start with, which is Toriumi accepting the fact that she is a lesbian. This is our beginning conflict in the story—quite literally in the very first page of the series—and it is the spark from which this story begins. As the story progresses, she grows more and more comfortable with her sexuality, trying more and more things with Becky.

The opening to #10 puts it quite well:

Toriumi is simply known by that when at work, a formal and polite guise. With her friends online, she's known under her username Y'ko. When fully alone, she is simply Isako. We meet her in the reverse order of this, knowing her first in a causal setting and graduating into higher grades of formality.

On Kawakami's side of things, we see that the idea of the persona is much more literal in the character of Becky. In a way, we meet her in the opposite way we need Isako, the difference between wearing the mask and having nothing to hide behind.

When she isn't under the guise of Becky and known formally at work as Kawakami, we simply are left with Sadayo. We meet her in this order, knowing her first with the mask on, watching it slowly slip as we begin to know more about her personal life.

These lines are neatly drawn for us and the characters at the start, the divide between these social masks cleanly cut. However, as time goes on and the relationship between the two deepen to new depths, the idea of the mask begins to mix with the true self, most notably in Kawakami's arc. As put nicely in #18...

Comparisons to the Satoshi Kon film Perfect Blue have already been made by others, and even though failteacher yuri is noticeably different from the psychological horror story that the film covers, there are those elements of self-identity and the "real you" that make the comparison extremely interesting.

In the comic, it begins to grow increasingly more unclear for our characters which persona they're exactly speaking to in the moment—which words are intended for which mask, both to leave the lips of and fall upon the ears of. Which "you" is the "real you" if they all begin to feel the same—if the lines begin to blur?

The Burden of our Histories

Kawakami is the clear example of the two to start this section out with. The main thing Kawakami is hiding from Toriumi has to do with why she needs all of the money she scrambles for in the first place, which is revealed to us in #17.

Kawakami has a secret to keep, and it's that she has been sending money to a former student's family, the student's name being Taiki. While in the comic it is unclear what may have happened to him, the usage of the word "forgive" implies that he had died, and that incident is either related to or has been blamed on Kawakami somehow.

The family demands money from her, more than her normal teacher's salary could possibly provide, so she turned to working at Victoria in order to make payments on time. With the tolls going up, though, who knows how long she can keep destroying herself...

But, of course, this isn't her only secret that she's kept. In #11, it's revealed that she took the Kanken at Level 1, the highest possible, and consequently the most difficult of all. At first, it's presented like it's an incredible feat, but this perception is shifted by Kawakami's own, believing it to have been something useless for the direction her life ended up going in.

The narration and informative boxes even begin to bend to the character's thoughts, becoming more and more unclear if the information the black boxes give in this update are objective or subjective, blurring the lines.

As much as Toriumi tries to hype up Kawakami and her accomplishments, the latter will simply never be able to see beyond her own self-perception.

Something that I also want to point out is how failteacher yuri utilizes onomatopoeia, creating a sense of pressure on our characters. It's almost comparable to the manga The Summer Hikaru Died, in which onomatopoeia is used to either create or alleviate tension in a scene, the sounds of the environments becoming almost deafening. The specific update from failteacher yuri I want to point towards is #18, which uses the sound of the rain in the background to create a barrier between Kawakami and Toriumi, with a side-by-side with a more recent update of The Summer Hikaru Died:

Kawakami isn't the only one keeping secrets, though. Toriumi, while much more subtle about it, is keeping a key part of her past hidden up her sleeve, and this has to do with the moon. Blink and you miss it, only overtly pointed out in update #13 and then much more quietly in #19, she continuously shows aversion to the moon, specifically the full one.

It's not like Kawakami hasn't caught on, either! During a small scene with Becky talking towards the audience at the start of #15 (the nefarious Becky is known to break the 4th wall), if you look closely, you can see that one of her notes reads "Scared of moon." I haven't played Persona 3 yet, so I can't give any fun lore insights, but what I do know is that the moon in that game is important and that Toriumi likely witnessed something she shouldn't have.

Additionally, there is also all of the stuff involving "A," which heavily has to do with Toriumi's arc of self-acceptance. Likely, something may have happened to "A" outside of Toriumi's control, and thus giving her a lot of complicated feelings about the subject. I personally don't expect a clear answer for what happened to "A," but it's still important to bring up.

Both parties are taking notice of where the other lets a part of their history slip, but neither have enough on them to be able to bring it up reasonably and not sound like they're taking crazy. Although, an inevitable tipping point is bound to be reached, especially with both of their troubles growing and growing. Something is bound to give.

How it comes together, in simple words...

Both Toriumi and Kawakami are dealing with very similar struggles, but they fight themselves tooth and nail on two different fronts, creating miscommunications and conflict between the two of them (and in some cases, outright lying). They are trying to navigate their increasingly dire presents all while their pasts haunt them, figuring things out and what they truly want from both themselves and each orher. What they want may not exactly be what they need, either, leading to further internal and external conflicts.

#13 succinctly states the ideas presented in the whole story so far, along with an amazing visual to boot:

(I can't fit it here, but I highly encourage checking out the tarot meanings from #13 as well, which are linked at the end up the update, which you can view here.)

To put it simply, to lie to yourself and to others means to sacrifice, from relationships to self-perception. The only way to break free is to let go, to be your true self and to accept and face your past. The only way out is through.

please please PLEASE give us HCs for when Azutara Political Marriage goes from friends to lovers like they finally get over their bullshit and pull themselves together for the betterment of the world as a whole BUT WOOPS their gay!

waa sure thing!

azula is very into calling katara her wife. will say it relentlessly just bc she can. katara's more into soppy petnames and likes to say them when they're in company to fluster azula

katara's crippingly jealous once they get together. she's rather unhappy that she has to share azula with an entire nation and she stubbornly argues with every courtly lord and lady thats even remotely interested in azula. has EXTENSIVE beef with the serving girls that flirt with her wife

if azula doesn't join katara in bed at nights due to work or otherwise, she gets the cold shoulder for the entire day. if katara's particularly annoyed she'll send a note to azula asking after the 'obvious mistress she was occupied with last night'

they take regular rides out to caldera city's bay. sometimes they picnic, and azula eventually comissions a house to be built along the bay-side for katara. azula also has the terrible habit of casually comissioning or buying things for katara whenever she mentions ANYTHING. there's no price that she won't meet. there's no leap she wont take. katara once said she wished there was more places to see koi fish and azula bought out an entire aquarium for her. perks of being a princess with no concept of normal gift giving!

they work together to make zuko's life hell. constantly pulling him into arguments or teaming up with toph to prank him

azula takes a particular possessive pride in dressing katara in the finest silks and latest fashions. she gleefully takes katara out in public just so the noble ladies adopt her wife's fashion. gets utterly obsessed if katara wears her clothes

azula's flirting is TERRIBLE. oddly enough she can flirt frighteningly well if she doesn't care about the person, but if she does? ala, if she tries to flirt with katara? terrible. awful. whoever said she was skilled at wordplay? they should be fired. katara figures that out after a while and promptly thinks its the most endearing thing on the planet. like yes dear, please compare her to a harpoon class AZ50 imperial crusier.

What if with MK1 Medusa Reader Part II

A/N: A continuation of this what if plot I thought of. I was inspired by @professionalranter31 to write this one from the perspective of the Mortal Kombat characters reacting to Medusa!Reader summoning the Kraken.

Credit goes to Giong2296 from Deviant art.

Ashrah, Kung Lao, Raiden, Johnny Cage,and Kenshi.

You are on your hands and knees and the edge of a cliff facing the ocean that just had an armada of ships sailing towards the shore. In an instant, the Dragon King, Onaga, wiped them all from existence with an infernal ball of fire. Leaving nothing behind but smoldering remains and husks. On those ships, was supposed to be Empress Mileena and her Supreme Commander and sister, Kitana, and their father, former Emperor Jerrod. Along with your close friends, Zaterran Emissary, Syzoth, and Tarkatan Colony leader, Baraka. Your dearest loved ones. Gone.

“There’s nothing left to loose.” You whisper as tears start to pour from your face, the scorching sun above soon evaporating them with its heat. Behind you, Ashrah approaches you to place a hand on your shoulder. "Please Y/N, you know that's not true." You shake off Ashrah's hand as you begin to rise on your feet. A dark and determined look sets itself on your features. You then reach into your robe's pocket to pull out some yellowed and weathered composition sheets. "I didn't want it to come down to this. I really didn't, but the choice is now obvious." "What are you-" Ashrah is caught off guard when you threw your head back and belt out the first few notes, but she's able to get enough of a glance at the sheets you held to cause her stomach to drop. The demoness recognizes the writing to belong to some of the darkest magicks. Ashrah glances up at the sky as dark storm clouds begin to brew. "Y/N, STOP!" But you don't heed her warning, instead sending her back a safer distance with the others with a flick of your water magic. You're then surrounded by a torrent of darkness and bioluminescent green before it engulfs you.

The seas began to bubble as if being brought to a broil, as your magic reaches the sky to bring in more storm clouds followed by a torrent of rain falling hard. Shang Tsung stops mid-fight watches with Quan-chi and Rain with surprise written on the latter's face. The former High Mage then snaps out of his stupor to grab Shang Tsung by the front of his tunic.

"What did you do, Sorcerers?" Raine demanded, after all, the island they're on is Shang Tsung's. The latter gives a deep scowl. "I tried to warn her against this, I hoped she would be wise enough to never try to summon it. "And you did not think to inform me about this?" Quan-chi raises a none existent brow as tentacles began to sprout from the sea before wrapping themselves around the Dragon King. Onaga lets out a mighter roar that shakes the ground beneath him.

The forementioned sorcerer glances over at you as you raise yourself even higher on a pillar of sea water, with your magic dancing and twisting around you as if they were made from the element you commanded. You yourself danced with your hands in the air and wings spread out, all while your appearance began to drastically darken to reflect your now tainted soul. If Quan-chi didn't know any better, he would think that you came straight from the Netherealm itself.

Onaga and the Kraken's battle becomes so tumultuous that tsunamis the size of mountains form, and would've engulfed everyone if it weren't for Rain stepping in to literally hold back the tides. Essentially leaving a giant wall of water to tower everyone on the shore. However he couldn't hold back all of it as some waves still managed to slip through his grasp, but less severe to the tsunami in comparison. Rain's entire body strained from the amount of magic he was exerting. The former High Mage pushed back against the waves, wondering if the force and power in these waves were your doing a byproduct of the monster you summoned, or some twisted combination of both.

Shao and Reiko are watching with surprise at the monstrosity you summoned to defeat Onaga. Both the rebel and imperial army stopped in mid-battle at the horrific spectacle, with vultures and sea birds alike circling above them to either flee or pick at the fallen.

"What sorcery is this, General?" Reiko inquires, as he watches the Dragon King he nearly died trying to semi-tame crush whatever is under the waves with his feet, only for more tentacles to arise from the ocean to wrap around Onaga's limb. Both them and the gigantic whirpool threaten to pull in the Dragon King and never let go. General Shao pulls out a telescope from his belt before directing his second in command to look through it. "Who else but that sea witch?" Contrary to Y/N and most misinformed fools `would believe, General Shao did not receive the rank he did by brute strength alone. No, it took a good amount of strategizing and his knack for reading his enemies to rise through the ranks. This is why Shao's blood-red gaze falls on to your distant figure that's faced towards Onaga and the other creature. You make grabbing motions and the beast wraps its tendrils around the Dragon King, you swipe with your arm and so do the tentacles. Onaga retaliates by letting another devastating blast of fire to the clinging tendrils, which causes whatever lurks under the ocean to let out an earth-shattering shriek that could only be rivaled by the late Sindel.

With Shao having figured out that you're the one controlling the Kraken, the former General concludes with Reiko that you had to be taken down. So they send half of their remaining forces to your location, who soon run into trouble as the tentacles from the Kraken breach through the suspended tsunami to crush, smash, and wipe away the approaching rebel army as if they were ants. As if that wasn't bad enough, the fallen including soldiers from the imperial army, are absorbed into these tendrils to disappear under the surface.

This did not deter either General Shao or Reiko as they sprinted through the battlefield, flooded with blood and the torrent sea. They clawed, scrapped, and fought their way through the ocean tainted with blood and cut down any tentacles that dared come near them.

Meanwhile, your group, headed by Ashrah, attempts to get through to you and beg you to stop from finishing the forbidden ritual. Yet, their cries are lost in the howling winds as you raise your darkened arms to the sky and voice loudly. You didn't even spare them a glance when Ashrah and Raiden attempted to fly to your position before you used your magic to create doppelgangers made of water to stop them. You essentially force everyone to fight against their watery reflections that copy them move for move.

Your plan worked as the Kraken, in all its terrible terrible horror, rises from its maelstrom. The entire island seems to tremble from just the Eldritch horror's full awakening.

The Kraken lets out another shriek, as if in victory for being summoned again before it then attempts to tear into Onaga. The Dragon King literally locks horns with the Kraken with smoke bellowing from his mouth, not ready to admit defeat just yet.

On the shores, a good distance from the battle and out of your line of sight, those you thought perished finally make their way to shore. Although, their entrance wasn't quite smooth or easy as they nearly crashed on the jagged rocks lining the shore.

If it weren't for Jerrod's telekinetic ability creating a protective bubble around them, he, his daughters, Tanya, Syzoth, and Baraka would've been claimed by the waves. It's also what saved them all from becoming burnt corpses at the bottom of the ocean from Onaga's fire.

Although this miraculous save may not be so much of a miracle, they watch the catastrophe unfolding before them. Baraka's eyes instinctively scan to find you, almost unable to recognize your warped appearance resembling a creature from the deepest parts of the ocean. You were still dancing and singing, the eye of storm unfolding.

"Y/N, what did you do?"

I have not watched Rise of the Kings because Hulu is in the US{It is new so I couldn't even pirate it}-

but I sure love Stinger, so even with spoilers I was excited- IS THAT A SNAKE IN THE GIF??? I just noticed that

but anyways, for a small fandom 'Edit for a dead fandom' I can make edits, idk how to get the clips.... Right theirs on clips of stinger in one pirated site that has season 2

I accidentally watches epidose one of season 2 back in lockdown before kipo was uploaded... Oooh the memories of rewatching this before I slept.

Im still gonna make shitty drafts and post it on ao3, idk what happened, but ill just give stinger amnesia and meet some half scorpian half snakes Hehe! <3

Also bit of a headcanon that Their a emperor scorpia(They are in West Africa...) Idk, maybe other scorpians would assume, or another animal incorrectly guessing. I couldn't find a scorpian in austrailio I liked. Emperor sounded cool- and no ones arguing with me... Ik its someones pet peeve, but hey from reddit the show sucked, and I might still enjoy watching it. My work is gonna be as bad as the writing, also how friendly empoerer scorpians are HAH XD

... I kinda added that their was a disease that just never gets talked about, and eveyrones just, monotone, tired, depressed, something with slow mating cycles and infertility and miscarriges.......... From what I learned empowers are usually aggressive after giving birth, so maybe that anger is channeled to fighting, belief of a lord that is survival and nature is cruel. or smth dark, and oc in the makaign for that.

maybe another scorpian thats seen stingers dad, try to cheer them up... A neutral perspective on bandits and such <3 such good writings ideas I am rushing, please send me link or an account <3

Concept writing of my oc with a placeholder name Magma- for volcano room

Magma is self-aware and quiet, easily accepting of failures, and accepts that not everyone will be a good person and do what they're fully capable of, but they understand they should still stand up for others. They like to argue when they fully research a specific topic, and will trauma dump at a moment's notice to keep the conversation going, they are extremely sensitive so any jokes at others' expense, just when it's directed at them – they quit side eyes – but with someone else is also in the butt of the joke they'll sting. They tend to hold grudges rather than holding others' hands out of awkwardness, having a hard time asking for help. They can bottle all their emotions up, and that leads to… More panic attacks and stinging a frog{Fear of water from threatening to be drowned from an accidental party bash, and misses the hot springs gifted from Chinese scorpion} they acted on it from stinging a frog helping them get to the other side{inspired by Tumblr short story{Lost it}.. They struggle with misinformation, everyone knowing the obvious royalty or power core, and the struggle of political disinterest and being the eldest to have to take the crown and responsibility. He can be bitter about others being wrong or not that self-aware, always keeping to themselves, but the inevitable panic of intrusive thoughts of accidentally murdering someone. They Value and adore it when people like them and know their bad, or even stay, to be listened to is nice and they can only be so much. They can come across as sweet, sometimes a bit obvious to their surroundings, or forgetful souls, but on other occasions, they can play the oblivious card. While plating obliviousness has its wins when seen as stupid, they tend to be insecure about the existence of their responsibility, but not exactly knowing how to not be the cause of corruption, assassinated siblings, letting things go bad, or secretly being power-hungry. Despite all of this, their family loves the self-isolating ‘Sun’ Daughter, and the people see them as having humility and being well educated but a person(forgetting, being neutral and self-aware of their bias on their interviews in boarding school.). They put others' needs before themselves, the weaker their friends, but an enemy could just die.

[lokisasylum]

I'm sorry but 🐰 is so FAKE!

"My future changed because of it. If I hadn't done this project I would probably still be in bed, eating and watching cartoons"?????

As if he and everyone at Hybe didn't know since months PRIOR how his debut was gonna go down, like that Hybe staff (and Jimin anti) that got caught on DC Gallery talking smack during Jimin's debut about JK's single, because they all knew it had already been BOUGHT thanks to 🛴 & Bongo.

[Reminder that ALL Suchwita episodes are pre-recorded months PRIOR to present events]

Also the way he stated:

"I'm Korean , but I'd like to be the one and only singer who can cross back and forth between k pop and pop songs I'm gonna conquer all genres if I could " "one and only singer"... one and only singer to do WHAT when OTHERS have already done it BEFORE YOU??? (Shinhwa? Ailee??? Hello???) He'll never be the "first and only", "one and only", JUST THE PRIVILEGED ONE.

But you know what really gets on my tits? Its the way he toyed with the fandom's emotions through vlive acting out this story of the mistreated, neglected member that was too scared to ask the company for permission to come on vlive to talk to army, so he asked one of his hyungs to cover for him and "take the blame".

And then continued his little sob-story of "Oh I haven't left my apartment in over 3 weeks. All I do is eat takeout and sleep and play with my dog 🥹 please pity me." Getting so drunk that he passed out like twice (with a whole ass candle still lit) and coincidentally SOMEONE who was already inside the apartment would turn off the live (IF there was a staff with him at all times while recording, why did they let him get so drunk to the point of passing out? )

Then came the rebellious, child tantrums at his own hyungs asking him to take it easy with the drinking live (consequentially bringing hate against said members and his solo stans applauding this behavior as him "standing up for himself & doing what he wants" and how "respect has to be earned").

Then came the sasaeng scare, the "Please don't follow me to the gym where I work out every day, that scares me buuhuu 😭." And again getting drunk "to show how upset he is" by the whole situation, causing more unnecessary concern (a.k.a creating morbid anticipation and more people tuning in to the circus show).

But the live that really took the cake was when he first failed to hide the very obvious vape that was literally on top of the table in a very obvious pink color (like his hoodie) that many quickly identified, then another sob story, then FINALLY came the TEARS, acting like he was about to say goodbye to the fandom for the last time with the perfectly executed: "Please be happy, even if I'm not here." before ending the live and sending the fandom into a frenzy of "omg poor kookie, he's suffering so much" and "omg what if he harms himself???"

Everyone was SHITTING themselves on the TL, expecting the worst to happen.... only for Hybe to share a post from CK with a clip ready to announce that JK had been named Global Bran Ambassador to CK, with this huge promo, a whole ass video, photos, posters, an interview, the whole she-bang.

And suddenly... he was fine? Did another live like NOTHING happened? And the ones that followed??? Suddenly he was this refined model for CK that actually gave a shit about his image? Ya'll cannot convince me that this man was not gaslighting the FUCK outta the fandom through this whole shit-show while 🛴& Bongo finished up securing his achievement$ & po$ition on the chart$ before officially announcing his debut (despite having announced a month prior that another member would debut instead).

Even Jimin called him out on his BS during that live in the car after one of the music shows where outta the blue he interrupted the live saying he was gonna go watch Jimin perform live, as if he didn't know that Jimin's promotions had ended that very day.

Like atp I just feel pity for his stans 'cause they're SO NAIVE that they believe everything he says to the point of creating this false narrative that JK was the one who actually got sabotaged on his debut and received the shortest debut/promo time compared to Jimin. When the cold hard truth is that everything he got was thanks to all the MONEY 🛴 & Hybe invested on him.

[jungkoode]

ok my last one for today bc i feel like this must bother you bc ur so busy but since u updated 25h i HAD to say this.

kiki i am so in love with the way you write! i've said it before but in all seriousness what you do is breathtakingly astounding.

i noticed something, in all of your fics, theres NEVER filler. theres never pointless dialogue made to make the chapter longer for a word count to be met. EVERY. SINGLE. SENTENCE. is beyond relevant. Theres double meanings everywhere waiting to be unfolded. Every sentence can be dissected and analyzed deeper to reveal something that makes the characters more human.

This is what i believe makes your fics SO ADDICTING to the point where i find myself refreshing your page once a day seeing if theres any updates. YOUR CHARACTERS FEEL AUTHENTIC. they're not just shells of people you put two thoughts in and write about. they're people that i can tell you stay up thinking about. they're people that could very well exist in real life and you could 100% have a full on conversation with.

do you know how insane that is? how absolutely fucking impressive? i think you do--you must--because its so in your face how you but all of your blood, sweat, and tears (queue jimin) into every single chapter.

for exampleeeee! 25H10 had barely any interaction between y/n and yoongi. in the last couple chapters, the whole thing has been them together. usually, (if i was reading any other writer) i would probably skip until the characters engage again, because lets face it, were all here for the romance. However, when reading your fics, the thought of skipping even a single line of dialogue was off the table for me. Like you said, the scene with jungkook, tae and yoongi was ANYTHING but filler. so much information came from that interaction alone. The interaction between hoseok, jimin and y/n also proves to be essential, and though yoongi is talked about, we only see dialogue through him in text messages.

My point here is that even in scenes where yoongi and y/n dont interact, the fic is entretaining. you find yourself not wanting to skip no matter whats happening, because every word draws you in. there isnt a boring chapter in any of your literary concoctions.

In ASW, we haven't seen many one on one interactions with y/n and tae. in fact, we haven't even had tae talk to her directly yet apart from basic cashier talk (if i'm not mistaken). Most of the fic has been spent establishing the characters and their day to day lives. these parts are usually the most boring for me while reading, but they're not in your fics. every single word still encapsulates you little by little, staying in your mind.

i think this also draws into the realness aspect of your writing. every character has a life. you make a point to show the deep intricacies of your characters, in how they speak, how the carry themselves, what they do, everything has meaning, and the meaning all relates back to a person. a person people are drawn to, feel seen by, connect with. its all very inspiring. anyways.. ill leave you alone now hehehe

is it super obvious youre such a role model for me, writing-wise? hope not 😖

maybe one day when i am half as talented and creative as you, ill make my own fic.

FIRS ROF ALL—NO THIS DOESN’T BOTHER ME AT ALL??? DO YOU KNOWWWWW how thankful we authors are when we get long messages like these and deep dives??? It’s the biggest honor. Please never ever ever feel discouraged from sending these type of messages. It genuinely makes my day! I smiled all the way throughout reading this like a fool with a silly little grin on my face.

I personally get a huge amount of messages, not only on Tumblr, but also Wattpad and AO3 because my genius goblin brain decided one social media wasn’t enough—I had to manage THREE. So as a one-person army handling all of this, it gets very overwhelming to reply to everything, but I promise you I try my hardest. And if I don’t? I promise I always read your messages!!! I’ve been meaning to find some time to sit down and respond to this because I know it took so much effort and you poured your entire heart into it and I didn’t want to half-ass a reply to something so thoughtful—that’s the only reason I haven’t answered earlier!!

Now to the meat of it—OH MY GODDDDD. Mya. MYA. I don’t think you realize how much this means to me because you picked up on one of the things I care about the most in writing—narrative economy. I hate filler. I don’t believe in filler. If a scene exists, it has to do something. Even if it’s quiet. Even if there’s no romance. Even if it’s just someone making toast—what’s the toast telling us about them?? What’s their mood, what’s their coping, what’s their behavioral pattern?? If I include a sentence, it has a reason to be there. And when readers like you notice it?? When you pick up on the double meanings, the narrative layering, the emotional complexity—I CRY. I SOB. I STARE AT THE CEILING AND KICK MY FEET.

And you’re SO right—Chapter 10 of 25H barely has Yoongi-Noma interaction but it’s still heavy as hell because it had to be. That confrontation scene between Jungkook, Taehyung and Yoongi? It had to breathe. I needed the space to show you what it means to have informational disparity inside a resistance group. What it means to be inexperienced. What it means to have a modded brain that literally can’t register danger the way others do. And the Jimin-Hoseok scene? Necessary. We can’t info-dump who they are, because of Noma’s brain situation. So we weave the lore in gently. Organically. Like a real world. It matters to me that these characters feel like people with histories and quirks and trauma patterns and subtextual dynamics you can feel, even if they’re not explicitly stated yet.

The fact that you saw all of that? That you saw what I was trying to do? That you found engagement and addiction even in scenes where your favorite ship wasn’t front and center??? That’s the highest praise. That’s what I want. That’s what I’m always striving for—storytelling that’s rich and dimensional and gripping in every angle. Not just when people are kissing.

And the way you tied that in with ASW too??? That observation about Taehyung not even speaking much to Y/N yet but still having a gravitational pull because of how the atmosphere and psychological tension has been constructed???? DON’T TOUCH ME I’M CRYING.

Also—don’t you dare say “maybe one day.” If you feel this deeply about character, pacing, and narrative meaning, then you already have the foundation. You can make your own fic. And when you do, Kiki Nation will be seated. I believe in you so much, it’s embarrassing.

Thank you. Truly. For this message. For caring. For noticing the details. For being present as a reader. It means the world. 🫂🥹

bpp sorry if this isn't the content you want on your blog after yesterday but is it ok if i ask for clarification on sth? i know youre army you don't like solos but i like reading solos for a wide span of info. i don't like to be in a bubble of echo chambers

i saw a post and i'll send the link right after this ask but the person was criticizing a post you made but it confused me bc what you wrote didnt match what they said. they didn't post your name but i know its you because you always start your answers with 3 dots

***

many armys say they like jimin but they pretend. i don't think youre like that but your answer is confusing so can you clarify? its like you allow jjks to shit on jimin but you drag out pjms only. armys do this over and over. its sad if youre the same bc i like your blog.

***

Please block me.

Actually, you know what? Don't. At least not just yet. Let's do this instead.

I checked the link you sent. I'd received that link a couple other times today accompanied with more hostile language, so I ignored it. But I checked out yours because I wondered what was so serious you couldn't add the link to your main ask, so if you're all in fact the same person sending that link, kudos for getting my attention.

And thank you for sending that to me, because now I'd like to use you and that post to make an example of what I'm talking about when I say solo stans think differently and are just less intelligent. In my opinion.

For other readers, I'm not going to link it directly so as to not draw more attention to them, and since they're stalking my blog to make an example without directly mentioning me or showing my blog name, I think it's only fair I react in kind by also not making a direct mention.

Here’s the post (mine) in question:

*

Here is the akgae's takeaway from the post above (mine):

**

Already, the dissonance between the first and second screenshot should be obvious. I’ll explain in any case just so everyone can follow along.

Shortly after Jimin released Closer Than This, I received an ask from someone who calls themselves a PJM (a Jimin akgae), who said they hate the song and also hate his voice. But that they are his solo stan because he’s “talented and hot”.

I responded that they, the Jimin solo stan who hates his ARMY song and voice, isn’t exactly a rare breed. And that Jimin has ARMY supporting him anyway. This is within the context of me always saying solo stans don’t actually like the person they choose to solo stan (if they did, they wouldn’t be akgaes), and that an akgae’s experience is more about them and their personal insecurities than anything Jimin (or any other BTS member) is actually doing.

Months later (present day), another Jimin solo stan quotes that ask and my response, as proof of me (1) going “sameee you’re so valid”, (2) not correctly identifying that person as someone who actually antis Jimin a.k.a. his akgae, and (3) as proof of me believing “one is more talented and more deserving than the other” re: Jungkook vs Jimin.

…is there even anything more for me to say?

Y'all, I bet you something like 90% of the shit that has solos constantly bouncing off the walls starts from things like this: a complete lack of reading comprehension coupled with gaps in logic and pre-conceived notions/insecurities. If I wanted to be really mean, there's so many places I could take this post right now, but I'll stop here for now.

That post made me laugh because the entire thing is a comedy of errors. The OP Anon in that akgae's post, is actually talking about another 'blogger' (who I know and generally like but that's besides the point), but the akgae responding to them mistook OP Anon's 'blogger' to be me, and then proceeded to write what's in the second screenshot...

It's just sad.

I've lost count of how many times I've been the subject of callout posts on Tumblr and each time it's been something like this lmaooo. Each time it's been by akgaes (and their exile varieties) and shippers. The last time this happened, I was a taekooker, and now someone has essentially embarrassed themselves with a lamentable lack of reading comprehension to spin a pretty innocuous post into... alladat.

This is how drama is manufactured in fan spaces out of plain stupidity.

*

There are many reasons I don't like akgaes, but one top reason is because they dumb down the quality of conversation in whatever space they're in. It's part of why I have such a disdain for 'discourse' in k-pop spaces in general, because oftentimes, the people most eager to write paragraphs on end while being hateful and/or victimizing, are people who don't know what they're talking about or lack basic skills in reading comprehension, among other things. ARMYs and k-pop stans are guilty of this too, but you're more likely to run into culprits in akgae 'discourse' spaces or adjacent ones.

I've given examples of this many times but here's a couple here, and here.

I'm not even trying to be condescending, I don't actually think I know all there is to know about Jimin, BTS, and k-pop, I just no longer have the patience for people who choose remain in spaces filled with akgaes and who keep bringing their nonsense into my inbox. And what's worse asking me to clarify sentences that a grade 5 student should be able to parse in any language.

Anyway Anon, now, you can block me.

Only Friends

Only Friends - but were they really friends? The show answered itself and contradicted its own title.

What I didn't like about the finale:

idiotic, highly manipulative and very cringe pool scene. I can't imagine being in a relationship with a person like Ray who resorts to such vile tricks just to prove something (that Sand has feelings for his ex). And his constant "either deal with it yourself or I'll do it" treated as romantic behavior. If it was a guy saying something like that to his girlfriend, everyone would be outraged :) Ray could have said "I think you still have feelings for your ex, please sort this out". Instead, he started a threesome, kissed his rival passionately and blamed it all on Sand that it was his problem. He's truly a Mew's fanboy, they're both the same in this regard. Will every problem in their relationship be solved in the same way, by creating theatrical scenarios and proving their superiority and someone else's flaws, as Ray and Mew do, for which no one has ever criticized them?

all problems, traumas, nasty behaviors mysteriously disappeared or were healed, but in some little acts, words you can see that they are simmering under the surface

everything is so perfect, but the appearance of 1 (one) handsome guy disturbs the paradise

Cheum with her constant interference in other people's affairs, forcing and pressuring them, her unwavering belief that she knows best what is best for others

forcing an apology, even when it is obvious that someone does not want it. Also - no apology that should have come from Mew, Cheum, Sand, Ray

everything Mew, Ray and Cheum did to Boston was disproportionately more evil and cruel than what he did. Boston slept with Top before he dated Mew, who then constantly questioned his motivations and kept him at a distance. Boston manipulated Top, but he didn't force him to do anything, and he kept their relationship a secret, he didn't do it to hurt Mew. Mew's revenge crossed all boundaries, including legal ones. And yet it is Boston who is forced to constantly pay for what he and Top did, to apologize constantly, and it is he who is thrown out of the friend's pack and it is he who is blackmailed, slandered and treated like garbage

I absolutely HATE how everyone treats Boston like a leper, how they seem to force themselves to be civilized towards him, how their facial expressions change when he shows up, says something, or is just there. Even when he sends a photo A YEAR LATER, everyone reacts as if he sent them a diaper with poop in it, not a photo of them. I admire Boston, I would never lower myself to spending even a minute in such company. Boston is treated like he did something incredibly wrong, like he killed a little kitten or something

Top apologizing to Sand for "stealing his boyfriend" as if it was a wallet and not a person with free will lmao Is Boeing a person or a thing that can be stolen? The series treats him as a tool though, so theoretically he could be stolen lmao

What I liked:

the iron consistency with which Boston separates his sexual life from his love life. He explains it calmly, without adding any ideology or pseudo-psychological reasons to it. He's honest AS ALWAYS about it. Maybe that's why he wants to stay with his "friends" because in his mind he didn't do anything against them, against Mew, he just wanted to sleep with a hot guy. Which they (especially Mew with his unhealthy relationship with sex) took as a personal attack on themselves

the fact that Nick was hurt by Boston but did not blame him for it, he noticed what no one else sees (does not want to see), that is, that Boston has a completely different relationship with sex and feelings than others, than accepted social norms

I liked that Mew rejected Boston, it felt like one of the few genuine moments of Mew where he is honest. The sad thing is that Cheum, with her actions behind his back, did not give him the opportunity to immediately say "no" to Boston's presence, which would have spared everyone the awkwardness and Boston from hearing those terrible words and the embarrassment of all his "friends".

And what I dislike the most is the change in tone of the show since the last two episodes. And the fact that the creators were probably forced to betray their own project...

my thoughts on the tarot readings about jungkook's future spouse:

i don't think that most tarot readers have read about her correctly and it's obvious in their answers when they answer questions about whether she is a korean or a foreigner, whether she is an idol or non-celebrity, what is her religion, etc. and truthfully, 99.9% of the readings about her have questions falling into the category that i've mentioned. no, a tarot reader can't tell you if she is a vegetarian or not.

the other red flag when it comes to jungkook's future spouse is when tarot readers say that she has or hasn't read a tarot reading about her. this feeds into a lot of delusions of die hard fans.

overall, a lot of tarot readers are overly descriptive and it's something that a lot of fans would be able to relate to, which leads to the belief that they're jungkook's future spouse. some tarot readers even describe themselves.

with that being said, fans should understand that tarot readers aren't reading a future that is set in stone. they're reading energies. energies change on our actions. i can post a reading now and 2 minutes later, the answer will change because the energies has changed.

my beloved girls, please focus on your work and education. don't lose yourself into this concept of jungkook's future spouse.

nobody knows who jungkook's future spouse is. not even jungkook.

i'm sorry that this got super loong, i just felt that this topic needs to be addressed.

No needs to feel sorry for sending long ask

I personally think that the way JK FS is someone who tarot readers read alot ,ofcourse answers won't be accurate in every reading and her guides be protecting her well ,and any tarot reader which gives too specific details isnt a good tarot reader ,not only its invasive to answer these type of questions but also difficult to get accuracy and it influences the audience alot as they think that what they are reading is 100 percent true no matter how much tarot readers mention them , and JK fans are also weird in a sense that they just never get tired of asking same questions again and again to every reader,and reading those questions and readings make me question a lot of things ,one is are you really curious about a random celebrity FS so much to ask same like 20 questions to every reader or its a way of confirming they are the one or not ,like if you need suggestions for questions I can give

And yeah , energies keep changing and that's why future really changes,it really depends on JK ,JK FS and their actions ,we all should focus on ourselves and love ourselves,if the whole purpose of your life is to be JK FS and you are continuously looking for answers whether you are the one or not ,is it really right ?,they need to think

@fatexbound said: "What if they kissed?" (Giving you either Akimitsu or YukiChie) Send "What if they kissed" for a hypothetical scenario with no strings attached || Accepting

They shouldn't be doing this.

That's the thought that echoes throughout her mind the more the suggestion seems to sit between the two of them as if it weren't completely obvious by the way they looked at one another. The snow outside is what ushered them inside in the first place and as the chill of the evening settled in the cure hadn't ever looked so obvious before. Whatever feeling she felt now was something that's been dying to claw its way to the surface for so long now it almost felt painful to repress it any longer whenever she looked at her. Best friend started to feel like a lie when the truth felt so much heavier within the confines of her chest. Her name sat so heavenly at the center of it that friend didn't feel like enough.

Yukiko.

What was she thinking? Nothing good, she knows and part of what's kept her from voicing it is what she knows to be a learned reaction. Learned rejection that's a result of Yukiko's own circumstances and Chie was content with keeping quiet about it until the possibility felt … attainable. She's spent so much time at the Inn it's hardly a surprise that she's here for the night again after a nasty storm kept her from making it any further than a few steps outside. Usually not a big deal after a quick phone call to her parents but now it felt like such a gamble when the space between them is so small and Chie's will to resist is growing so thin. Brown eyes fall on Yukiko's lips with a stare that lingers before she corrects it, snapping back to the other girl's eyes in an instant and fumbling to find the words she meant to ask.

"A-Are you still cold?" Chie knows she's the one that felt the effects of the storm the most but her priorities were always Yukiko before herself, a habit. She can't remember what brought her so close to begin with but she doesn't move and under dim lighting she can hardly make out Yukiko's expression but she knows the other isn't stopping her from getting any closer. She should stop, what if someone walks in? It's enough to make Chie glance toward the door but nothing more, pleased with the risk when both time and the weather happened to be on their side. There were still guests downstairs being tended to and on a school night, it was usually safe to assume Yukiko would be left alone after a certain time. There were exceptions, but all Chie could do was hope tonight wasn't one of them.

She shouldn't, but she wants to so badly.

The arms that draw around her shoulders speak for themselves and Chie could feel the heat of her cheeks responding to the action in kind as they draw her in. They're shaking and ordinarily she would have blamed it on the weather but she knows better. She knows Yukiko better than anyone to know they must share the same urgency, the same desire that's left them with the choice to risk it when offered such a fragile sense of privacy and she knew she'd feel stupid for never taking it but worse if their moment led to humiliation from ignorant passersby's. It's a risk they're both willing to take, evidently and with one more shaky breath Chie gives in to take it. The chill of bitter winter melts to the flame Yukiko's lips kindle within her and it burns bright enough to make her whole body tingle with the need to keep her here, keep her close, keep her lips on hers. The moment they meet she feels like they were always meant to be entwined in each other's space like this. They were never meant to be apart, not when they felt so perfectly together.

Her heart's beating so fast she can hardly hear herself think anymore. The world fades to the background when all she craves is a little more of Yukiko, the main motivation for the shaky hands on the other girl's waist gently guiding her closer. This was so nice she could hardly believe she avoided it for so long and Chie felt so elated with the feeling she nearly forgot about the fear that previously bound her.

Footsteps

Eyes snap open when she hears them and in an instant they're apart, the Chariot quickly turning her back to the door when the knock inevitably comes to hide her blushing face that she would have no excuse for. That was close. Too close.

… But she wanted more of it.

[wathanism]

Hi there! Alright please bare with me cause I have to lay some ground work to get to my question.

So in every country right, there's an elite that's separate from the rest and then globally there's an elite (the 1% of the 1%) which I think most people are aware of. Usually in the west & countries that are more homogeneous the elite class tend to be made up of members from the major ethnic group with maybe a few from minority groups. In the Caribbean for example, that's not the case.

Colonisation, slavery & indentured servitude resulted in a mixture of ethnic groups across the islands but people of African descent (black) usually make up the majority for most islands. The elite class however are made up of minority groups and are also a group of families whose last names are so powerful the names practically act like currency. When you hear any one of those last names doors you might not have even known existed suddenly open. Sadly, there's almost a built in response to facilitate whatever it is these people need.

Most islands have their independence and on the face of it we govern ourselves. But these families (they are largely European white, Jewish, some Syrian, Chinese & others) came after independence as foreigners and integrated into the local population, they've become citizens, they send their kids to school here, they speak the mother tongues etc. but have also aligned themselves in such a way that they control the economic and political sphere. They own a lot of the big businesses and land but they don't hurt the local/indigenous population physically either. There's no violence or obvious oppression or ethnic cleansing to call it settler colonialism.

My question is, do you think this is simply elitism or given the colonial history of the region is it more of a blend of elitism and colonialism and maybe other things that deserves its own name?

ooohhh see this is a fun question, bc this is a part of the world i really don't know much of anything about unfortunately. i can't give any definitive answers, but i can like. try to piece together some thoughts based on other things i know and ask some questions that i think are relevant to the topic.

if there's one thing i learned from studying colonialism, it's that sometimes you gotta expand your definition of violence. maybe the locals aren't getting physically beat up or bombed or shot or what have you, but are they being priced out of their homes by gentrification? are they not given equal access to healthcare? are there any laws that unjustly are applied to them while the ruling class gets off without issue? there are countless other examples, but my point is that violence doesn't look one way, and oftentimes the systems of law that are viewed as orderly and "just how things go" are violent at their root.

another relevant question i think is how did these families acquire this much wealth and power? how did they get ownership of that land? is what they're doing on that land damaging the environment? if so, are they bending or changing the laws to keep doing it, and who's being hurt by the environmental damage? what are their labor practices like? are they paying their fair share of taxes? are they collaborating with colonialist mega-corporations like monsanto for example? these are all things that have been weaponized against black and indigenous people, and even if they're not violent in the same way as a bullet to the face, it's still colonial violence.

a lot of these are questions that are veering into the topic of capitalism, but i think capitalism and colonialism are inseparable and you can't meaningfully talk about one without the other. if colonialism is the "what," then capitalism is the "how" and "why."

it's also important to remember that settler colonialism is just one TYPE of colonialism. places like french-occupied syria and british-occupied india were still under colonial rule, but they weren't settler colonies. it's important to look at resource extraction and labor rights. sure, there's big businesses there, but who's actually benefiting from that?

then there's also the matter of neo-colonialism. just because a state is on paper independent, it's pretty often that being under colonial rule weakens the new state so much that they're still forced to rely on their old colonial rulers. because of that they're often unable to fully dismantle systems that were put in place during the colonial period, so the independence, while still a step forward, is not the end-all-be-all of it.

none of that actually answers your question lol, but my point is that this is all stuff i would want to keep in mind while trying to figure out what to make of the situation in the caribbean.

[pankesitopank]

not a req just a vent. skz actually used to be my ult back when i first got into kpop and then early this year i tried to befriend this girl who ults skz and long story short her personality just so ick that i can’t listen or read anything skz anymore. its literally tainted and i feel sick everytime i have the same bias or smth because she was just so gross. im so sad because i had great memories of skz and now they just feel ruined??? idk

Oh my god, that's horrible... I'm really sorry that happened to you. Stray Kids is such a beautiful group! They're really one of the few groups I see and say, "Wow, they really do seem genuine, real" you know? I feel like they transmit something so beautiful, and for some idiot to ruin it for you like that must have been horrible, honestly.

stay with me girl, boy, they them, diva...

The truth is that there are always hard stans in all fandoms and normally they are divided into normal or gross hard stans (like, it's pretty obvious lol, but I am one, just like I'm a soft stan too, but I'm not crazy or gross, I know limits... sort of... nah just kidding i swear im normal), and it seems that your friend (who I really hope is no longer someone in your life) was a gross hard stan :/

Do you really think there's nothing you can do about it to get you back into them? I don't think I can help a lot, but you could start by listening to the songs that bring back the best memories!!! maybe the most innocent or fun ones (I'm thinking in awkward silence hehe), maybe also little by little watch their videos, like the behind-the-scenes videos of the recordings for the songs, which are always nice videos to watch, i love them. Or maybe some of their interviews for... I don't know, Teen Vogue, I think they had one, or the behind-the-scenes footage of their MVs.

And as for reading, if you like being on Tumblr, it's a little more complicated because there are a lot of hard stans here... or at least that's what it says on my fyp..., but you could read the content with the #crack, which is the one with humor and is always super cute and comfortable to read!!! Or directly fluff or reactions with those themes too, the domestic ones are always super cutes too! like, luckily, there's a lot of soft, comfortable reading.

I'm literally thinking of it like when your stomach hurts or you're sick, and when you recover, you start drinking soup or eat light things that don't hurt your stomach jajsjajadj

I truly hope that some of this helps you and that you can return to Stray Kids because seriously for me they are one of the most beautiful groups not only in terms of music but also in the vibes they give off, how they present themselves, how they show their relationship with each other and blah blah blah, it's a shame that because of a gross stan you are missing out on such a beautiful group.

And also, you need to start getting tough if you're not a fan of hard stans because they're everywhere... in fact... one of them is writing this answer to you... (but, let me clarify again, I'm not gross!!!!)

a lil edit: It caught my attention that you wrote this to me knowing the type of content I upload hehe, thanks for doing it tho!! I think it's really, really nice (and I like to know about people's lives...) you know what love? For you I will start thinking about more fluff content

...maybe a bad timing because I'm finishing a stray kids smut... don't read it please

BUT after that I have an Ateez fluff and if you want you can send me ideas too!!! If you feel like it, it can be from stray kids or other groups (male or female) or just something you would like to see!!!! If you like (in case you send another message) you can clarify that it was you who wrote me this message and you can leave me an emoji so I can identify you!!! (I love the idea of emojis for the anons!!!!)

AND he Does too#at the same time. it's shown kinda well in tends bar i think. he misunderstands dennis the entire episode but in the end he Gets it right#thats kinda what they have going on. dennis is always waiting for the moment mac Gets it but. well it almost never comes#they both know parts of the other but not the full picture. never that. and i think it's also because of the mask#neither of them particularly likes themselves. they are content playing a part of someone else... sort of.#theyre also opposites in that. mac wants to 'define his true self' at all costs. Dennis runs from it. but uh... uhm.

I don't think we talk enough about what Mac falling for Johnny means in terms of his perception of love and his relationship to Dennis. I mean, we talk a lot about Dennis catfishing and e-dating him and the sexual component of it —which gives us plenty to unpack about Dennis' psyche, so it's understandable— but my favorite aspect to dissect is Mac's willingness to "fall in love" with a ghost.

In the episode, Dennis mentions there being texts between them so we know Mac wasn't just talking to a wall the whole time, but he's been stood up by Johnny so many times.. yet he keeps at it, keeps going on errands and to motels just in case Johnny decides to actually meet him this time. He's constantly waiting for someone who never shows up for him, and that's reflective of Mac's entire character. He keeps searching for love and validation from his mom, his dad, Dennis.. and when he doesn't get it, he just keeps on pushing, putting in more effort because maybe this time it will be enough. He holds so tightly onto his faith in god, a being he can't even see or hear, but that represents a hope for eternal love if you do everything right and conform nicely to its supposed expectations.

Mac isn't a stranger to loving distant beings, so of course he fell in love with Johnny. He's so desperate for someone to love him back but the only form of "love" he recognizes is a distant kind. That's why he can't give his date from the episode a chance, and why he doesn't want anything to do with uncle Donald. Easy and earnest love isn't something Mac knows. Hell, it isn't even worth it. Love, in his experience, requires work and sacrifice, otherwise what's the point?

This also plays a lot into his dynamic with Dennis, and why Mac will never let go of it. Sure, we saw him kind of trying to move on in 'The Gang Gets Romantic' by fabricating a love story for himself with Greg, and a more genuine attempt in 'Frank vs. Russia' by dating Johnny, but all roads eventually lead back to Dennis. A part of it can be attributed to Dennis not letting him move on —keeping Mac at arm's length while giving him just enough to keep him hooked— but that's not all. At this point I don't think there's anything Dennis could do or not do to put a definitive end to Mac's obsession with him, because he's exactly the type of person Mac craves in his life. As mentioned before, Dennis is someone that makes him earn his love and respect, and Mac can't find that in other potential romantic partners. He already tried looking for it online, where you can meet all kinds of people from all kinds of places, and who did he find? Dennis.

Obviously, the Johnny thing being orchestrated by Dennis means that Mac "found him" on purpose, but the point here is that Mac didn't know that. From his perspective, it was a fresh start with someone completely new, a guy that met his subconscious requirements. It just so happens that his requirements are Dennis. Because as mushy and gooey as it sounds, at the end of the day Mac is irreversably in love with him. He loves Dennis so intrinsically that he falls for him a second time, without even being aware of it. And I suspect he always will, no matter how many times he tries to move on.
