Persephone… secret home o' Sinclair Solutions. I bet against Andy Ryan's vision o' harmony in Rapture -- offered him a quiet place to send anybody who wasn't workin' out. And now I'm sittin' on my own private think tank. Technically, Utopia shouldn't have much use for a detention facility… but if you do business as long as I have… well, you learn to pick a brand name from the writin' on the wall.

ryan you simply must tell the people about jean bean jane

The people yearn for Jean Bean Jane so I simply must give them what they want.

(awesome art by siderealkid on Twitter)

So Jean Bean Jane is a character I made a few years ago. She was originally made for a Danganronpa RP, although her gimmick applies really well with any world where people have their own special abilities (stuff like My Hero Academia works really great for this, however I'll be introducing her the way that I introduced her in the Danganronpa story)

So in the DR story, she calls herself the Ultimate Merchant. She's the middle child in a somewhat prestigious family. Born Jean Ieyasu, she's the middle child with an older brother named Honda, a prestigious inventor, and a younger sister named Doohickey, an equally prestigious mechanic (anyone who was around for my old game planning streams may remember her). She was always different from her siblings, favoring the more flamboyant and dramatic flairs, usually helping to sell their inventions with her eye-catching (and frankly dogshit) fashion sense and her choice of speaking. She talks like a carnival barker, speaking loudly and quickly and taking advantage of the inevitable confusion, usually trying to sucker someone into literally buying her magic beans. She also doesn't mind being a bit of a scam artist at times.

Oh yeah, the beans. The twist behind her character is that she tries to pretend that she has some sort of special ability (an Ultimate Talent in DR, a quirk in MHA, etc), but she does not. She was not born with one. However, her siblings made a super cool machine for her to use. What this machine does is that it takes the DNA of someone who has a superpower/talent/ability and it turns it into jellybeans. If she eats someone's jellybean, she gets that person's ability for five minutes (and if she eats too many in a short time period she gets sick, so she can only use this sparingly). She uses her general charisma to get DNA from unsuspecting people (i.e. "Bet you can't spit in this cup from five feet away")

Anyway, that's the lowdown of her character. The most important elements of her is that A) She doesn't have powers and uses the jellybeans to steal others' powers B) She's a bit of a bastard C) Her fashion sense is awful.

Von Kaiser 🇩🇪🔩

- So intertwined with them, Spruce is dead ahh the mascot of the brand now.

- Puts a secret environmental message into each ad he does

Great Tiger 🇮🇳🐅

- Not really a partnership, but he used to collab with multiple rap artists

- Nowadays he'll just do a random gig if he needs extra cash

Don Flamenco 🇪🇸 🥀

So if you are not team green from the books why are you now?

Well If i get the meaning your question anon, a short answer for your that would be:

Long answer would be:

Well, first, I am Team Green, doesn't mean I hate every character on TB. I do like Daemon as character, sure I don't think he is internet boyfriend. But I do think he is a very compelling character. And besides Aegon, he is the second character with most potential for development. Especially when Nettles come to picture. If the Ryan has balls enough, she could much be the Brienne of Daemon.

Even Rhaenyra, in the sense of her own tragic narrative. Like, ok Ryan is not inventing the wheel with her character, literature is full of kings that are legitimate heirs to the throne that end up loosing power and going crazy over their own self destructive behavior.

And look I even admit would be so much easier to be TB, like even before I watched the show, all my friends are TB, and I knew how TG ends. But when I started watching it, I star to love Team Green. They are just better writing characters, and their dinamics are more nuanced and compelling .

I really found fascinating how Otto actually care about the kingdom, but at the same time has ambitions and uses this to justify in his head selling his own daughter to king, like he loves her but as well, is interesting how he justify his behavior on his own head.

Meanwhile Alicent is such cunning and compelling character, to me she maybe the most complex character of the show. She has so much nuance, I could write forever about her character. The way she connects the best part of herself with her mother, meanwhile also she does become more and more alike to her father creating identity crisis. And that is just touching the surface with her.

And then part 2 dropped and consolidated that for me. Rhaenyra, which was some out compelling, becomes inconsistent with the original characterization and is very much a reactive protagonist, only being held together by Emma brilliant acting.

Part 2 where the kids are introduced, the show actually land very well into establish team green kids much better, with nuances and potential. Aegon, a hedonist who drowns himself in drink to avoid responsibility and lack of affection, with the potential to become a reverse Robert. Aemond is a fine warrior who hides his feelings behind his facade and blindfold. Heleana being the misunderstood pure and innocent child.

The kids on TB barely have characterization, Baela and Rhaena in the books are supposed to be similar configurations to Arya and Sansa, but the show doesn't even establish that well, they don't even have internal rationalization.

Why don't Jace or Luke have resentment towards Rhaenyra because of the status of bastards one bit? Fuck even Jon from the show has more nuanced feelings about this subject than they.

Why doesn't Baela feel a little bitter toward a bastard taking a place she is actually more worthy to have in Driftmark? It can't just be because they grew up together, Aemond grew up with Aegon, and still feels more entitled to the throne than Aegon.

Why are Rhaena or Baela so loyal to Rhaenyra and not feel the slightest bit of resentment towards their father for marrying her so quickly after their mother died after years of lack of affection from Daemon?

For me, I can't take the answer into consideration "they love each other and are a loving family" without the writers making me believe that these characters only have two dimensions.

I think that in this sense, Ryan fell into the same mistake as D&D, in an attempt to make these characters more heroic, he took away everything that could make them interesting. And I'm unlikely to like something that reminds me of GOT's bad writing, or bad writing in general.

Anyway, I hope I have answered you anon. And sorry for the ted talk.

Pegging headcanons w/ Shenhe, Ningguang & Keqing!

CW: Sub!Male!Reader, masochism/sadism (Sadist!Keqing)

Under the cut.

(Image by ツ︎ryan !)

Shenhe

She is going to be the one to suggest it, that’s for sure.

In preparation for entering the inevitable intimacy of your relationship, Shenhe did the only thing she could think of - she hit the books. She didn’t learn much, obviously. But she did learn what the prostate is.

She kept that in mind, even asking you about it at some point. 

After you agreed to let her explore your body, Shenhe grabbed a bottle of lube and a rubber glove, and went to work. 

The disciple found your body to be responding very well. She didn’t expect you to be this loud, actually… So she did what she found to always bring more pleasure - increase the speed and intensity.

So her collection of dildos was put to use soon. Her selection of straps is quite vanilla - just normal shaped toys, all rubber and varying in size. 

Seriously, this girl… she made measurements to have even the littlest of straps in her collection rub against your prostate mercilessly. 

Likes to train you. At first, it was very hard to cum without direct stimulation to your dick, but over time - and of course lots and lots of fucking - you could do it in barely a minute if she picked the pace and angle right.

Shenhe likes to add a fleshlight to keep you fully stimulated. 

Cumming with her strap inside, her hand around a cock sleeve on your shaft, and her other strong hand gripping your inner thigh is heaven, and you can’t convince me otherwise.

“Hmm… Your body seems to be responding to the six inch well… How about we jump to the eight inch now? Huh? Too big? Oh, my love, don’t sell yourself short - I know you can take it.”

Ningguang 

The fact that Ningguang likes her man masculine and strong doesn't mean she isn't into pegging. 

In fact, she loves it to death. The prospect of fucking a strong man in his cute butt gets her really excited. And Ningguang is one of the girls that, when they want something, they will get it. 

So spread or bend over for Ningguang, because she's in the mood to turn the tables. 

It's always a whole ordeal with her. She loves to invite you to a luxurious dinner or watch a movie, only to then pull out the strap and peg you. She loves to wear high heels, thigh-highs, long sleeve gloves and black lingerie for the occasion. 

Gently, but decisively - that's the way she pegs you. It's all about technique, not speed for her. Intense fucking is great, sure, but it's her way of hitting you little pleasure button that gets you leaking precum like a broken faucet. 

Your hands? Tied behind your back, always. She can't have you touching yourself, now can she? Your cock throbs and cries precum so beautifully every time she hits your p-spot, so why would she end the show? 

The only way you are going to cum is from pure pegging when she does it. Don't worry, though - her precise technique will leave you spurting really soon. 

You are usually quite silent during sex, as most men are. She thinks pegging is a great opportunity to make you moan and whine, and she's so into that. 

"Yeah…just like that, baby. Be loud for me. Fufu, look at it throb… fucking your butt sure gets you hard and desperate, doesn't it?" 

Keqing

Men are so annoying, Keqing thinks. Lady Ningguang is right to keep them at a distance. They are loud, overwhelming and obnoxious, and they smell bad. Sometimes all she wants is to put them in their place… Good that she has you on hand, willing to submit to her.

She has nothing against men and you in reality. She just likes to indulge her sadistic dominant side from time to time. All she does is preceded with a proper discussion about boundaries. 

As a dom, her duty is to respect your hard boundaries and explore your soft limits. That's what she believes, and she can prove it any time. 

Though Keqing prefers receiving pain, she can just as well cause it. 

Pegging for her is a way to kill two birds with one stone - it's immasculating, and it's a bit painful, but still pleasurable enough to have you begging to be fucked by her. Or maybe you're just a stupid masochist, huh? 

Her collection of straps is a scary sight to behold for any sub, that's for sure. Most of them are big, studded or spiked in some way. They are both to be used on her and on you, if you misbehave. 

With Keqing, pegging is a punishment. Because how can you possibly enjoy it? A girl is roughly stretching your tight ass with a plastic cock, and you are enjoying it, moaning and whimpering like there's no tomorrow… She loves to tease, or even mock you about it during the act. 

Don't even think about her touching your cock. Stroking it to completion yourself makes you even more laughable in her eyes. Oh, and if you cum before she is satisfied, don't expect her to stop. 

Her style is fast and rough. Taking your ass doggy style is her favorite, as it allows her to go really aggressive, as well as slap your ass and pull on the leash she attached to your collar. The moans and pleading for more make you look like a bitch. Her bitch. 

Just like Ningguang, Keqing likes to dress up for you. While she wears luxurious and complex lingerie, you'll be completely nude. It really amplifies the dynamic, she thinks. 

She might be mean during the act, but she is everything but in the aftercare. It's all just make believe, she will remind you of that. She'll tell you you're handsome, smart and beautiful, just so you don't forget. 

She knows how much you love this, so she has some normal sized and textured dicks for softer sessions. During them, expect nothing but praise from her. 

Still, Keqing loves some hardcore pegging from time to time. 

"Ugh, why are you whining so much? I'm only fucking your ass, absolutely destroying your tight little ring and assaulting you prostate… Heh, maybe you do have a reason. So tell me  how good this rubber cock makes you feel, boy. "

Thanks for reading!

A Golden Rebirth part 2

Ryan guided two tours that day, but his mind was somewhere else.

Tired, he turned on the telly and typed a number randomly. The channel was blank so he tried another. Same blank, dark screen. He tried a third time. Finally the screen showed some sports.

He was not really a sport fan, owning a single kit he was wearing when the local town was playing to try to blend in with the crowd.

Ryan got up and went to the fridge.

"Damn, I wish I had some beers".

Ryan went back to his couch, sat and grabbed his phone. Force of habit.

He opened Tumblr and scrolled until he had found what he was looking for: a story posted by a brother of the Golden Army.

Before he knew it, he had thrown his clothes to the floor and had put on his cum encrusted hurling shorts and jersey.

He read a story, a second, a third.

Exhausted, he realised that it was dawn. The entire night had been focused solely on wanking while reading stories written by the bros of the Golden Army.

Starving, he picked up his keys and left his apartment without even getting changed.

He walked the short distance to the local market to buy some fresh fruits. That's when his eyes caught the shinning reflection of a golden jersey in the rising sun.

He made his way to the small stall where 2 stunning jocks were selling their homemade production of beer.

The conversation flowed easily. Maybe it was just a random decision. Maybe it was triggered by them noticing the dry cum on Ryan's jersey but they offered him a taste of their brew.

Ryan gladly accepted and finding the beer really pleasant, he bought 2 packs of 6 cans.

He had only been talking to them for a few minutes but he found it hard to leave.

They exchanged details and Ryan walked back home, looking back a few times until the gold had vanished.

For now.

Ready to serve, to become part of something greater? Join the Golden Army. Whether you take the path of a player bro or embrace the hive as a drone, there's a place for you here. Reach out to @polo-drone-009, @brodygold or @hades-golden19 to start your transformation. Find your purpose, commit to the gold, and let the team shape you. 💛

[ewanmitchellcrumbs]

"Sadly, Ewan's bits are in short supply compared to other cast members."

Why is it always like this? I just don't understand it. Ewan is an actor on the rise, everyone was talking about him after s1, Aemond is a popular character who was praised for great character design (that they don't like showing for some reason). I thought they would actually give him more attention not only during the promo (where it looked like Ewan was one of the main stars of the show) but also in the series and the behind the scene footage. But they pretty much excluded him from the book and he barely has bts. Don't they want fans to actually buy what they're selling? Why treat Aemond and Ewan fans like that? I'm so confused by hbo tactics.

I don’t think they made a conscious decision to exclude him from any of the BTS stuff, that is likely more Ewan’s doing as he’s elusive and an introvert (most people take introvert to mean not a fan of people, but it has more to do with how you recharge your batteries - extroverts find restoration in company, introverts recover by taking alone time)

Ryan said that during season one, cast members would muck around between takes. Ewan would take himself off on his own and practice with his sword, or run lines. This was likely the case for season two, which is why the only footage we have of him is on the buck and in the make up chair. If he’s not working, then his free time is his own - this is carried over from TLK too, as Mark and Arnas have previously said that when the cameras weren’t rolling, Ewan was impossible to find.

I knew it was coming.

It had been years since I saw their content, but I thought about them from time to time. I hoped they’d be able to stick around longer, but all things considered, it's remarkable they managed to last as long as they did.

Consider,

Expansion into animation after their success with Monty Oum that was sadly cut short by Monty's passing, letting Gray Haddock slither into the role. Gray pulled a few video game industry hacks and laid off animators after projects instead of giving promotions or raises, leading to him getting fired. The animation department suffered altogether.

People kept leaving. You could count on one hand how many integral guys from the days of RvB season 1 were still around, and that doesn’t count how many people whose faces we knew left. Some were for very good reason, but others just seemed sad.

Scandal after scandal. A lot weren’t that big, but enough destroy your reputation. Ryan Haywood being a predator son of a bitch, the kinda stories Mica Burton and Kdin could tell about how welcoming the workplace was for minorities, and the above mentioned animation scandal.

Warner Bros is going through hell. How much hell? They were looking to go through with a merger with Paramount, but one guess as to why that fell through. Closing Rooster Teeth seems on brand for them now, though selling off the profitable bits seems like too much business sense for even them.

I get no joy from this. No one does. A lot of people's jobs are gone, and it’s gonna be hard to get back on their feet again. Maybe some people are relieved because the sword of Damocles has finally dropped, but you know what happens to Damocles after that?

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART

Jake Peralta X fem!reader

Summary: In which Jake and y/n make a bet on who can arrest the most criminals and y/n has to fulfill the agreement at the end of the shift.

Words: 1.8K+

Warnings: I don't think anything has as much impact as the other, drinks and criminals I think. But not explicit.

Author: First of all, English is not my language, I apologize for any mistakes that may be in the story. And second, I am loving writing for it, and I still have many ideas.

Y/s: Surname

MASTERLIST

Jake and Y/n had been best friends since they were little. They and Gina grew up together in the same neighborhood and practically every weekend they spent at Jake's grandmother's house playing with board games or just listening to Gina talk about how good she would be if she were a Michael Jackson dancer.

Years passed and the three of them worked together at the same police station. Jake and Y/n became more than just friends, they were recently in the phase between hookups and boyfriends. No one knew what they were, but what they had made them both comfortable.

When the year began, Jake and the detective made a bet to see who could arrest the most criminals.

If Y/n won, Jake would have to change desks at the police station—hers was across from Scully's and near the bathroom, definitely terrible—and sell his Mustang.

And if Jake won the bet, Y/n would have to dress up as Bonnie Tyler and perform Total Eclipse of the Heart in the place Jake chose.

In short, neither agreement favored either other, which made them more competitive.

Today, officially after their turn, the bet would end and one of them would have to fulfill the agreement.

"Good morning squad. This morning, I'm going to assign you some work to be done this week. Boyle, you'll be on Mary Lauren's case, the homicide case. Rosa will be on Santiago's case on Jack Rubens."

"That's right, the second one is already off to a good start." Rosa lets out a sideways smile, while she had her feet on the table and Amy was clapping silently.

"Jake and Y/n, you worked together today on the Ryan investigation-" Terry doesn't finish speaking.

"NO!!" Peralta and Y/s scream together, making the squad jump and they look at each other.

"What do you mean, no? You love working together and it always works." The sergeant asks.

"Today their bet ends, about who can arrest the most criminals in a total of 6 months. And they are tied" Charles says and points to the board on the wall and everyone looks.

Detective Y/s: 75

Detective Peralta: 75.5

"Why seventy-five and a half?" Sergeant asks.

"It's just that my last criminal was a dwarf," Jake says smiling and the squad shakes their heads holding back laughter. "High five!!"

An excited Charles does a Hi-five with Peralta.

"This is cheating" y/n questions, sitting next to Rosa.

"You say that because you've never caught a mini man, honey." Jake turns and smiles at the woman.

"Okay, fine. Santiago and Y/s are together on Jack's case and their respective cases. Peralta and Diaz on Diana Fox's case."

"Damn, I wanted Jack's case," Rosa grumbles. "I was rooting for Y/n to lose, but now I want Jake to sell that Mustang, just so I can lose the coolest case in the precinct."

"Hey!!" Y/n shouts indignantly at Diaz.

"That's it for now, dismissed" Sergeant says and the people start to leave the room.

"Ready to lose, my honey?" Jake comes closer to Y/n, making her roll her eyes and smile.

"At first, 'honey candy' sounded strange"

"Yeah, really. I only realized it after it came out of my mouth." Jake grimaces.

"And second, you're the one who's going to sell the Mustang and trade tables with me."

Jake laughs before grabbing his jacket and leaving the police station with Rosa.

"You're the one who thinks, my dear. You're the one who thinks." He smiles crookedly and leaves.

Y/n shakes her head and sits down next to Amy's desk so they can work.

"What's going on between you two? I know you already said you hooked up, but what's up?"

Y/n smiles, going through the paperwork.

"I don't know, we're just...going with the flow. We go out, we meet up. But there's nothing officially imposed."

"Did you guys have sex?" Amy whispers to Y/N.

The detective looks up.

"AMY!!"

"Sorry, sorry. My curiosity got the better of me," she smiled, looking at the computer.

They are quiet for a while.

"...yes..." Y/n responds softly before standing up and grabbing more papers about the case.

"OH, I KNEW IT!!" Amy screams and everyone in the station looks at her. "I'm sorry..."

•••••••••••••••

"I had no idea it took the boys two months to locate him and we caught him on the first day of the case. Man, we're awesome" Amy says proudly of them and pats y/n on the shoulder, who smiles.

"Girl power," Y/n says, as they leave the criminal in custody. "Now take a good look, Detective Y/s 76, and Jake Peralta 75."

"75.5" Gina yells from her desk.

"That's it, whatever. But he's still behind" Y/n smiles evilly and focuses on more cases, so she could arrest more criminals in a day than Jake.

It doesn't take long for Jake to enter the enclosure with Diaz. He was smiling too much.

"Detective y/n?!"

She turns around and is shocked.

"I see the board has turned against me. However, Jake here managed to arrest five criminals at once. Who's the stud now?" Jake approaches the board and puts down 80.5.

"You're kidding, right? Rosa!!"

"I have nothing to do with this. What's worse is that the idiot over there managed to arrest those five at once." Diaz points to the criminals who were now being temporarily arrested at the police station.

Y/n makes a face and Jake smiles, walking past her and kissing the woman's cheek.

Hours passed and the end of the shift was coming to an end. The score was 82.5 for Jake and 79 for Y/n.

The woman was on the streets chasing four criminals, who she located along with Amy.

"Fuck...we lost them" Y/n slaps her hand on her thigh and holsters her gun again.

"Hey, it's okay. We can locate them again, they're not that smart at hiding," Amy replies, while looking at Y/n furiously.

"That's not even the worst of it. It's already 7:15 and there are 15 minutes left until our shift ends and I have to spend another few years at the same table next to Scully." Y/n complains, walking to the police car.

"Oh no, really. The bet" Amy remembers and makes a face in Y/n's direction, as she gets into the passenger seat.

"Exactly. I'm sure Jake is already waiting for me at the police station with lots of jokes to play on me."

Amy holds back her laughter and looks forward.

It took about 10 minutes to get to the police station, and there was no way Y/n could turn the score around with 5 minutes left until the end of the shift and win the bet.

"God bless me and let's go" y/n sighs getting out of the car and turning the car key in her fingers.

Amy enters right after her and when they arrive on their floor, Jake had decorated the room with a giant poster that said 'Congratulations Loser' and a large photo of the detective.

Y/n enters the enclosure shaking her head and Jake had a horn in his right hand, confetti paper in the other and everyone in the squad was wearing party hats.

"You guys are kidding me" she looks at everyone.

Her heels clicked as she walked, and the bulletproof vest she wore beneath her badge around her neck made her even more attractive, making Jake hesitate to throw the confetti at her.

"Hey Jake...the confetti" Boyle whispers to his best friend.

"Oh yeah, true. She messed me up a bit" Jake agrees. "Congratulations loser" he yells and throws the confetti on top of y/n. Making her close her eyes and just accept the moment.

Peralta approaches the woman, coming face to face with her.

Y/n smiles sideways as he approaches.

"You really thought you were going to get away with this, didn't you?" Jake said seductively, as he put a party hat on her.

"Yeah," y/n smiles. "I really thought so, you funny guy."

"Do you guys need a room? Can we get out of here?" Diaz asks.

"Keep it to yourself" Jake points at Diaz and she smiles. "Charles!! The costume!"

"Oh no, not Bonnie Tyler."

"Oh yes, Bonnie Tyler yes!!" The squad exclaims happily.

"Amy, even you?" Y/n says indignantly.

"Sorry," she whispers, smiling.

After Y/n changed and became Bonnie, Jake took her to perform at the bar they all frequented and of course the squad went after her, to see Y/n pay off the bet.

"I'm hating this tight outfit," Y/n complains.

"Thank Gina, she lent it to you for your performance" Jake says making everyone except y/n laugh, while holding her hand to go down the stairs and get to the bar.

"Gina, then I hate you"

"Hate nothing, sweetie"

Arriving at the bar, everyone grabs their favorite drinks and sits at the table that was right in the center of the bar.

"If I curl up here, will Jake forget about the bet?"

"I don't think so." Boyle looks at Y/n who was crouched under the table.

"Attention everyone!!!" Jake yells in the center of the bar and everyone looks at him.

"You're kidding me" The detective mumbles and the squad looks at her smiling.

"My girlfriend lost a bet today and will have to sing Total Eclipse of the Heart dressed as Bonnie Tyler in front of you" Jake smiles and looks at Y/n, who was now standing smiling cynically.

"Girlfriend?" The squad asks doubtfully.

"Yeah. And before she sings, I wanted to make it official. Honey, come in the middle." Jake holds out his hand to her.

Y/n widens her eyes and smiles, not believing what he was about to propose.

"He's going to ask her out, with her dressed up as Bonnie Tyler?!! She looks just like Peralta" Amy says before taking a sip of her beer.

"He told me earlier. I can't wait for the proposal. I hope she's dressed up in that inflatable dinosaur costume." Diaz smirks and sips his drink too.

"Rosa, poor thing," Amy says, holding back a smile at the thought.

"My dear y/n, my childhood best friend and work partner. I could tell you so much here that you wouldn't have time to sing." He says kneeling down and they laugh, y/n rolls her eyes laughing. "My sweet girl, love of my life. Will you go out with me? Like this, dressed as Bonnie Tyler?"

Y/n laughed.

"I wanted to say no. But I love you too much for that. So yes, I will be your girlfriend dressed as Bonnie Tyler."

The crowd at the bar starts to scream in euphoria and Jake puts the ring on her finger, before pulling the detective into a passionate kiss.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, I've done my job. Let's hear our losing bet do her job. Speak up, my dear," Jake shouts, sitting down in the chair and looking at Y/N.

"First off, I'm telling you Jake will be sleeping on the couch for at least three weeks. And Gina, I hate those overalls."

With that, Y/n complies with what she agreed with Jake.

Author: Guys, I probably (I don't know) wrote Captain Holt's name wrong in the stories 🤣🤣 I ended up putting "Bolt", but I don't remember if I mention him here. If it's in the story, forgive me hahahaha.

[f-e-r-n-i-t-o]

my take on the Mr beast. (a essay) so, to update you all on the mr beast situation. TW: Mentions of CP, cannibalism/vore content, language from me, sexual harassment, fascism and Mr beast being a dick. mr beast (or jimmy, whatever you prefer) was reported to the FBI for what? exchanging content cannibalism/vore to others and CP. he said its been proven wrong, but i barely trust youtubers when they apologize anymore, so i will not be supporting him any further. did i expect better? no, not really, i've always disliked Mr. Beast, as while yes he donates to charities and stuff (which we don't have proof he's done so), he's rather annoying, and clearly at this point is doing it for the subcount. yes, is he a inspiration to young people, yes, and he can be, he started as a teenager and here he is now, but that doesn't change the fact that he's let this stuff go on, as he knew about the Ava kris tyson thing, as it was in a GC he was in, as well as many others. he has changed lives such as ryan trahan, karl, chandler, nolan, and airrack, but just like dream or wilbur soot, that doesn't mean he himself hasn't committed wrongs. selling shitty products like lunchly is also a issue, when its moldy, hard to chew, still prime, and god knows what else, that is not safe for kids to be ingesting, and yes i know that the only product of Jimmy's is the feastables bar, but this man is a millionaire and he can do better.

you also had a while back, he held a illegal lottery, in a shirt signing live stream, (and yes that was accident, but do your research, man) and he also did the video on TRYING TO WIN THE LOTTERY, which most people see Mr beast as a kids yt channel, and kids are very easily influenced, so doing a lottery yt video will guarantee you that some kid is gonna see that, and once they get older, they'll fall into addiction, which i know from experience, addiction to anything is hard to break. also, apparently, he was arrested in 2018 (when he was 19) for 1) WAY over the speed limit (122 MPH in a 70 MPH speed limit), as he was racing 2 other people. and in his squid games rip off (beast games, i dont fucking care enough to say that tho), 5 female anonymous competitors came forth and said they were sexually harassed, there was strict control (manipulation more so.) including taking belongings, withholding food, water, and medical care, to the extent that MULTIPLE were hospitalized for dehydration. This behavior is enough for me to say fuck Mr Beast, as this should only be something that happens in the damn show 'squid games' and even then it is fictitious and thats still to far, as these contestants may only appear in one video and Mr beast clearly doesnt care about them, they are still humans, and require the necessary human needs, which makes me fear what the Youtuber box challenge was like, as that was near same of the rip off. but thats not all that happened in that dumb rip off. it was hostile, having a 'boys will be boys' mentality. which were allowed and even promoted by jimmy (asshole). so, in short; Mr beast is a facist, dehumanizing, dick. as all this behavior is horrible.

Somebody's gotta tell Shane Madej that science isn't just establishing what is known. Yeah obviously the pseudoscience of guesswork when it comes to ghosts gets ridiculous and borderline kooky at times but a good skeptic doesn't argue in suppositions that if something has not been seen, means it doesn't exist. In that case, the entire trajectory of biological exploration would be a useless field.

I have argued in the past that their* perspectives on ghosts or spirits is too steeped in the foundation of Biblical myth so we often hit a stopgap when it comes to what we're perceiving as the supernatural and what could eventually be studied within the school of quantum consciousness wherein our lifespans and memories of others could exist beyond matter which we have the capability to perceive with the eyes we evolved with.

I just think that Shane shouldn't sell science so short. And Ryan, well, sometimes it also wouldn't hurt to explore the idea that the lore we "know" about ghosts cannot fully be interacted with if we're assuming that a whole history of conmen and charlatans are the experts. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to start fresh and speculate on just what a ghost is supposed to be if we don't imagine the tenets of Christianity are, well, fact.

[horizon-verizon]

those twt and tiktok fans used the the book description when it's convenient, bc it is said that rhaenyra was quick to anger, so are we going to say that she abused her children?? they are such short-sighed people. the maesters hated daemon targaryen, it was said by then that he fucked maidens, that he fucked nettles, they would have loved to paint D as an abuser to his family if existed a minimal sign of that. and this is why i'm so dissapointed in jj (i thought she was a book purist)

Anon refers to these tweets and retweets ladydragonjj made on the day the Daemon-Abuser-for-3-Seconds clip was made known on Twitter:

There are also people going after Jacaerys, saying that it makes "sense" for him to turn out "abusive" as well towards women because he lives in a sexist world where noblewomen are breeders and "F&B is unreliable anyway":

When before, it was just team-greens.

People--those who prefer PoV chapters just in most fiction esp after havign read the main series, misunderstood the point of having sources other than the MCs tell the MC's story(ies) OR those who never read the book--

Ozymalek, who I depicted answering JJ above first, had this to say in a tumblr post before they left tumblr (it's my reblog):

Excerpt:

The Dance era in "Fire and Blood" is something that will fundamentally cause the feelings of cognitive dissonance. I think this is why people initially disliked this book when it first came out. It did not provide easy answers, it was written as a historical account, the in-universe historians were clearly biased. People, however, had trouble realizing who the historians are biased for and against. Team Green would have you think that "F&B" is biased against the Greens, because their allegiance as maesters clearly being to Hightowers notwithstanding, they could not evade simple historical facts: that most of the kingdom supported Rhaenyra, that Greens were horrendously misogynistic and that her usurpation was clearly wrong. That's why, approaching it from the "choose your favorite war criminal" point of view, it was difficult for Greens to accept that their preferred side is so cartoonishly evil - obviously bias must have been involved, even though the only pro-Black narrator of F&B is Mushroom, the rest are Greens. The maester's anti-Targaryen bias, however, manages to sneak in and mess with the reader's balance, causing said cognitive dissonance. It's hard to deal with it as a reader, let alone as a showrunner who's trying to adapt a story in which not everything is set in stone. They incorrectly assumed that, because they are constantly forced to question what is happening in the story, the bias is with the underlying idea that there was a correct side. As such, they assumed that all the inconsistencies result from maesters not choosing to view it that way. Ryan Condal repeatedly stated that he does not want watchers to pick sides, while George RR Martin embraces it and even encourages it (and I think that he himself has picked the Blacks). Such is our nature as human beings. So they decided that they have to balance the scales. Because Greens are poorly developed, they added more characterization for them that contradicts their book personas (abused child bride meow meow Alicent who is clueless about the plans that in the books she herself set in motion, for example) while simultaneously taking the characterization AWAY from team Black members.

I never saw JJ really sell or convey that she herself as a book purist. She just loves the books like many popular creators AND she likes the show even with some critiques here and there. Like a lot of popular creators. She and HallowedHarpy--very good explainers of canon, btw,, the latter esp for Dany's arc and being to Azor Ahai--are those who like HotD for what it is and continue to express reasons why fans should take chill pills for stuff released from the show or do not think of some things as "changes" bc of how the book is written as a historical propaganda tool. Or like some changes that they know are changes, like Rhaenyra's initial anti-warness or her fighting, which they both make a few persuasive points or I know where they are coming from to think so (like GRRM has made Rhaenyra too separate from battle by using the miscarriage thing [there were 3-9 months that Rhaenyra MIGHT have used to properly/fully recover from the stillbirth for her to be absent from Rook's Rest if we ignore the argument of how rulers were not always fighting bc it put them in danger...as what happened to Rhaenys & Aegon at Rook's Rest AND how Criston clearly planned that ambush, likely for her so I can't hate Rhaenrya for not being there but I dislike GRRM for writing that way]...but in the show idk/we don't know how long show!Rhaenyra will take to recover from her miscarriage/Visenya stillbirth either, since in the book, it's said that Rook's Rest happened not that long after the first black council...but time also works funky in the book, so 🤷🏼‍♂️).

Here are some thoughts I've taken down abt HH's convictions (italics are direct quotes and words used in video):

It's from a tiktok called "Feminism: F&B Rhaenyra vs HotD Rhaenyra." I agree and disagree with some points (bc HERE, HERE, (authorial intent, how this is still a fiction piece), HERE, HERE, how we know abt Daemon v Aemond's fight despite no one being up there with them, how we know abt Aegon's 12 yr old "paramour" thru the green-sympathizer Septon Eustace, and just abt every post of mine with the tag "Rhaenyra's characterization" [in particular those where I defend *some* of her decisions]).

Nonetheless, I also don't think it's productive to go shame people for their thoughts...unless they are just (-ist). Even then, the energy.

[puppet-purgatory]

thank you for being the most sane person in all this. the random vitriolic hatred for watcher makes me uncomfortable with the community. calling a company ‘greedy’ is insane. we live in capitalism. we need money for things. and i don’t think they were selling ads very well. they’re trying to be dropout and time will tell if it works (i think in a year people will either have forgotten or be enjoying YouTube shorts they post like dropout). thank you for keeping up the puppet content too. ❤️

yeah this is a move that's going to hurt them on a couple fronts, even if they walk a lot of it back, but like... some of the shit i've seen being said like "go back to your basement" and "we only ever wanted GHOST FILES!!! nobody wants the food/travel/gaming" is not only fucking Rude but it's straight up just............ A Lie. and That's what upsets me.

Whether the fandom is all teenagers or not, they're definitely acting like it. it seems like nobody Actually wanted them to do what they were passionate about in the first place. Suddenly food/travel videos are "wasteful" and "unnecessary"; well, if you've been paying attention, Steven Lim has been studying/practicing the culinary arts for years. that's what he's passionate about. it's what he wants to make and share with us. the fact people are So Ready to write off 1/3rd of the founding members' content is very telling.

ive never been super into shane and ryan Themselves, but they've been doing what they love and sharing it with all of us for Free up until now. I respect them as creators. I can afford to pay them a few dollars a month, so I will. I've already told friends I'm willing to share my acct with them, because they also understand it's hard to be any kind of creator in this climate, especially one that doesn't make the stuff the Algorithm is programmed to prioritize.

In a year, I hope youtube shorts is Gone, actually- that's how much i hate the shortform content mill. thanks for the nice message. i have a couple professor wips i should probably work smore on

Meet The Main Characters:

Ren Takayama - A half-blood from New Jersey, with a passion for music, and all things weird and nerdy. He's the son of a theater actress, Estelle Takayama, and the god Apollo. Some of his favorite things include learning new things about the world around him, traveling, sitting outside on a warm day, and people watching. He's a bit of an optimist, only ever thinking on the bright side of things first.

Sephora Chambers - A mortal girl that was taken under Hera's wing. She acts almost like a temple keeper, living in the old supply closet of Cabin Two. She is exceptional with making friends, and she's often seen as the counselor for camp. One day, she wants to write a best-selling novel, to entertain kids all over the world with fantastical, lesson-filled stories. Some say she's handy with a sword, but no one has seen her fight before.

Jasper Graves - The half-blood son of Hades, who is often seen wandering camp at night. Rumor has it he has a fascination with Tartarus, and has willingly traveled there once. Most campers avoid him, since his aura of death radiates rather strongly. Underneath his more than unwelcoming exterior, he's a caring person, with a deep understanding for the way things are.

Layla Anda - The daughter of Hermes, gifted with the ability to teleport short distances. She is seen as the best merchant in camp, and runs the camp store, selling not only camp merchandise, but also things from all around the world to campers. She's seen as a portal to the 'normal' mortal world, outside. She's a positive force, and is often the backbone of Hermes' cabin victories. She has no intention of becoming the cabin counselor.

Esme Agbayani - As the head counselor for the Hebe cabin, Esme leads her half-siblings with grace and trust. She's close with the medics of the Apollo cabin, often helping with the healing process. She's seen as a peacemaker in camp, and is usually on the sidelines during camp activities, cheering on the other campers, ready to aid those in need. She does, however, not take disrespect lightly, and is known to put aging spells on those that disrespect her or her family.

Ryan Song - The head counselor of the Iris cabin, and the go-to guy when people need to communicate to people outside of camp. He's a bit of a recluse, but he's skilled with various weapons, such as swords and spears. He's close with all of his cabin mates, and is seen as a friendly person who isn't able to hold grudges.
