#seriously what the FUCK is your problem man

[rcveriees]

episode one ; certified pr nightmare (🏁)

master list ༉‧₊˚. previous ༉‧₊˚. next

the backstage room was dimly lit, hours had passed and the entire event was over. hours of conversation with journalists, sponsors, VIP members, and team members had definitely taken a toll on you. there was the soft lighting and the quiet buzz of equipment being packed away.

you were glad the day was finally over, this event took everything from you not to lose your mind over the tiniest of things.

it’s a miracle you didn’t explode in front of the cameras — hell, in front of anyone for that matter —

the door creaked from behind you and you immediately knew exactly who it was.

“nice show you put out there, teammate.” sukuna drawled on, his voice full of mockery. “didn’t think you’d actually bite.”

you scowled, brows furrowing as you spun to look at him, face to face. “what the fuck is your problem, sukuna? you never grew up, did ya? couldn’t go one fucking interview without being childish, huh?”

sukuna simply shrugged, leaning against the wall as he scrolled through his phone, looking up for a split second before looking back at his phone. “truth woulda’ slipped out anyway. people had to know how ‘fun’ you are to work with.”

“you’re a joke.” you scoffed, stepping closer. “i have been putting up with you and your contestant ego trips for years, sukuna. one little comment won’t fuck with my head like it did years ago.”

he chuckled. chuckled. had the audacity to chuckle. “you’re a fuckin’ control freak, teammate.”

you lost it over that comment, scoffing loudly. “control freak? seriously?” crossing your arms over your chest, you continued. “i care about doing things correctly and not as some hotheaded maniac.”

sukuna straightened his posture, grin faltering ever so slightly. “hot headed? that’s rich coming from someone who threw her stuff all over just because of some comment. you’re the hotheaded childish one. trust me, sweetheart.”

before you could come up with some snarky remark, your team manager walked into your conversation, head shaking. “you two. we need to talk. now.”

sukuna mock pouted, his bottom lip quivering, “aw, boss, what did we do?”

your guys’ principal could’ve turned a man to stone with that glare. “you two are supposed to be teammates, and yet you’re acting like overgrown children. you two need to understand how to work together or else you’ll both find yourself replaced in the span of a millisecond.”

wow, he really took things seriously. how much you were missing suguru and your old team principal.

you nodded slowly, swallowing the lump in your throat. you weren’t going to risk your career to continue playing pretend war with sukuna. no way.

sukuna mock saluted, he was used to the threats he was given by the principal. these threats were all he’s heard after every scandal these past years, and look, he’s still here.

you watched sukuna walk off, that cocky swagger making your blood boil. the season had yet to start, and yet here you were, already counting the days until the season was over.

off the track:

— honeh you got a big storm coming 😂🤷‍♂️

— honestlyyy the amount of rewriting and replanning for this chapter was??? ugh i forgot how much fun it is to make smaus

— lemme know what you wish to see!!!

ive got more to say about force sensitive megumi.........

The Jedi Masters are in fact pissed when Megumi staggers back to the temple with a fresh patch of inky blue bruises blooming across his flesh like burgeoning miniature galaxies. The Masters are so pissed, in fact, that Master Gakuganji even recommends his dismissal from the order. Yuuji tells him not to worry. Apparently the old geezer is always trying to dismiss Younglings and Padawans who struggle with The Code.

Megumi isn’t worried. Not because he’s certain Master Gakugani’s hold over the High Council is as frail as the man’s boney fingers, but because he couldn’t fucking care less if all the Council members agree with the goon and vote to dismiss him. Fighting is his lifeblood. He just fights the Jedi’s battles now instead of his own.

And, anyway, Megumi has other, more important things to worry about. Like the fact that he can’t stop envisioning the scrappy young girl from the ring who beat him so badly he popped a fucking boner.

At night he dreams of her. Of you. Wretched, ugly dreams that tear screams from his throat as he bolts awake. Dreams that leave his sheets soaked in sheens of sour smelling sweat. In his dreams, you are fighting and you are losing. You are losing over and over and over again.

Then the morning comes and bits of yellow sun begin to crawl their way across his bed, banishing the dreams. Or so they should. Thoughts and images of you beaten and bloody plague him during his daily lessons. They eat at him during mealtime. Visions of your body, broken, bleeding consume him while he mediates.

Megumi asks Master Gojo in passing if all Jedi have such violent dreams. Master Gojo laughs it off because Master Gojo laughs everything off. A Jedi as powerful as Master Gojo cannot make themselves any more threatening than they already are. They cannot take anything too seriously or care too much about these things. Master Gojo tells him to focus on his youth. He also tells him to mediate more as if mediation can solve all the fucking problems in all the fucking worlds.

It's Master Shoko who asks about his force dreams. He’s in the infirmary for an unrelated injury he obtained on some bullshit mission, so he doesn’t understand at first what she’s asking. Once he does, his simmering rage flares viciously to life, scorching, scalding, because Master Gojo looked him in the eyes and laughed.

For weeks these force dreams have tormented him. Visions that devour. He is so, so angry, and he is so, so scared. He isn’t sure if his visions are of the past or something yet to come. He doesn’t know if the future is fixed. If you’re already doomed. If there’s anything he can do to save you.

Worst of all, he can’t find you. He searches the pits of Coruscant all night desperately trying to catch a glimpse of you, but you aren’t at any of the popular rings. The underground is so large he could spend weeks scavenging through back alleyways and seedy bars and still have moved no closer to you.

The Jedi Masters refuse to help. Even though the Force clearly wants him to intervene, wants the Jedi, the fucking keepers of the peace to intervene, they refuse to help. They tell him his fixation on his visions is leading him down a dark path. That fear is the antithesis to peace and serenity. That if he chooses to feed this hunger, it will lead him somewhere void of light, somewhere filled with shadow.

It's the Chancelor of all people he finally finds comradery with. It’s the Chancelor who tells him that if he trusts his emotions, trusts his senses, they will lead him where he needs to be, that they will lead him to you.

The Chancelor is not a Jedi; he has no knowledge of the Force. If Megumi wants to graduate from Padawan to Knight, he should listen to his Masters. He should learn to swallow up his anger. He should mediate. He should let go.

Instead, he closes his eyes. He lets his world go dark. He searches for you.

one of the things that fascinate me about thawne: yes, he CAN be normal with kids! surprisingly normal!

((not at all times, though. his mental illness still spills through and as usual he, in trying to manipulate or hurt others, spits out at them the exact stuff that would hurt him (or have in his childhood/barry's rejection interpretation) the most in the first place lmao))

but at the same time. his like second instinct when doing his bullshit is FUCK THEM (as) KIDS

(and, well. whatever this classifies as)

[stevethehairington]

oh boy. okay. we're really gonna do this huh?

first of all, THANK YOU for proving the VERY EXACT point i was making with this post. i did not tag you in this post. i did not mention your url. i did not name ANY names, in fact. on paper this post has NOTHING to do with you directly, and yet here you are. commenting on this post. and with unwanted rebuttals to boot.

the fact that you automatically assume this post was about you so clearly shows that you understand that you're doing EXACTLY what it says. that YOU are the problem here.

second of all, onto your unwanted rebuttals (which, rebuttals to WHAT exactly? i have no fucking clue. because nowhere in my post did i say she isn't a writer? lmfao. in fact, i actually call her the writer several times so like, learn to read?)

to your point that "SHE IS A WRITER". yeah. okay. she's listed under the writing tab on IMBD, but if you actually CLICK on the tab¹ you get this:

in which she is listed as a staff writer.

according to wikipedia², a staff writer is "the probationary, entry-level position in the writers room."

according to yellowbrick³, a staff writer is "an entry-level career in writing rooms."

according to screencraft⁴, a staff writer is there to "develop and break story" and work "under the direction and authority of the above positions." the only positions lower than them on the totem pole are the writers assistants (who literally take notes and do some light proofreading) and the PA's (who work as gofers by answering phones and getting coffee).

according to brian herskowitz's (an actual writer/producer/director in the business) website⁵, the staff writer, again, is the third up from the bottom with six levels of writer above them.

ALL OF THIS TO SAY - she is not some like high level, super important, final-say-having writer. she's in the room, yeah absolutely, and she's contributing, sure! but don't try to make it out like she has this, like, HUGE amount of power and sway. she doesn't. the stuff she did write had to go through like six other levels of people. NOT TO MENTION, every single one of the sites i sourced emphasized that being a staff writer is a COLLABORATIVE effort. as in, she works in a TEAM of staff writers. as in, it does not fall to her shoulders and her shoulders alone. she is NOT out here making ANY decisions by herself.

again, i NEVER said she wasn't a writer for the show, and certainly not in this post??? so i really don't have one single clue why you're coming for me for that???

next, your screenshot of the author's note in the book.... pal. "you all had some hand in eddie's creation, and i count myself lucky to have been there in the room with you" does NOT imply that she had any direct contribution in the creation of eddie. not to mention the phrasing "you all had some hand", again, implies that she is a step removed. YOU had a hand not WE had a hand. plus i'm gonna be reeeeeal honest here, if i was a writer and i had ANY hand in creating the character of eddie munson, the character that has become SO popular and SO beloved, i sure as SHIT would be making it ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY clear as day that i had an active part in it. i wouldn't be using phrases like "letting me be in the room". that does NOT imply any direct control. that implies that she got to be there and witness it. (now i'm not saying she didn't have any direct impact, because WE DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE EXTENT OF WHO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF EDDIE MUNSON. but like. she didn't say that she DID have direct impact, so you can't say THAT with your whole chest either,,, so like. take a step back.)

finally, "so calm down. it's not me the one who is jumping on your throat. you made a mistake. just knowledge it."

i'm not jumping down ANYONE'S throats here. i'm not the one that is going around leaving UNWANTED COMMENTS on people's posts trying to "show them the errors of their ways" and shit. so, in fact, YOU are the one doing the throat jumping here.

you literally jumped down my throat on this post. literally right here. on this very post. the post that had ABSOLUTELY NO mention of you specifically. it was a general statement because i've seen this shit from MULTIPLE people over the past couple weeks. but you took it to mean i was speaking about you and you CAME ONTO MY POST to leave an UNWARRANTED COMMENT in which you SHOVED YOUR "FACTS" DOWN MY THROAT.

i made a mistake? pray tell, what fucking mistake did i make? because from your comments here it seems like you think i said the book author was not a writer for stranger things? but actually, i literally never said she wasn't?? and, hell, i didn't actually even MENTION that on this specific post because this specific post was a plea for people who are doing exactly what you just fucking did to stop because it is VERY MUCH unwanted and unappreciated. i will fully take responsibility for any mistakes i make, and i will acknowledge them, but like. there's no fucking mistake here. there is none. i think YOU actually are the one here that needs to acknowledge your mistake - your mistake being that you ONCE AGAIN HAVE INSERTED YOURSELF AND YOUR OPINION ONTO A POST THAT IS LITERALLY NOT ASKING FOR IT AND IN FACT SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR YOU TO KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

in conclusion, your commentary is not wanted here or on any of my other posts, so you can ever so kindly fuck off. 😊

really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.

if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!

but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.

because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.

being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???

also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃

tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

[le--monde--est--stone]

my personal theory is that people who endlessly make fun of yamcha and hate on him never watched the og dragon ball series/read the manga

[tubbytarchia]

Dear anonymous. I talk about characters. I'm not hating on Pearl and I'm very much not hating on Pearl the CC. Her POV literally just hurts me on a deeply emotional level because I'm invested in her character. I thought I made that clear

I simply think that white straight male incels shouldn't be playing genshin/hsr anymore and should just die afterwards

hmmm getting hit by another little "being heartbroken about tp ganondorf" moment :)

[amplexadversary]

Ahh, tv shows where I can't tell apart the male leads, my beloathed.

Seriously either we need to go back to lighting our sets more, or long hair on men needs to come back into vogue, because I can't keep living like this.

I can't keep taking two seconds to try to determine who is who every shot because I miss what's going on in the scene!

Controversial opinion, but you need to follow the silhouette rule in live-action projects too, at least in regard to characters in the same show or movie! If you absolutely *can't* hire actors with different heights, hair, or builds, you need to work something out with the costuming department to get a distinct shape!

Man..

[sapphic-schizo]

god the culling game sucks ass just end this shit already i don't care about randos from 1000 years ago why can't shounen manga ever just focus on the main characters instead of bringing a bunch of new randos into the mix and shoving everyone's favs into the void never to be seen again

[gregmarriage]

whenever i get insecure about my looks etc , i remember that people have been attracted to me in the past and it WASN’T some long winded prank of some kind. also, they didn’t spilt up with me bc of my looks either, it was entirely separate issues they may have had. like, the year i was dating my ex wasn’t a joke in that sense, it was just kinda a waste of time, bc we broke up and it basically turned out they lied to me, and i felt very strung along, but again separate issue. they WERE attracted to me for a while. they asked ME out, the rest is weird, but that part’s true. like, there’s only so much you can fake, if you know what i mean

[timeisacephalopod]

I absolutely hate when people accuse me of like writing myself into story (similar to Mary sue claims) because something I wrote about or a subject or some other aspect I chose is similar to or (according to my accusers) ripped straight from my life. Like the saying is "write what you know" for one, for two a "friend" I had acting like giving a character a job I had was some sort of self insert shit is dumb when every job I've ever had is somewhat unusual and a conversation starter in real life so- shocker- sticking it into a story makes a good story.

Writers having experience with something or a similar life experience to their characters doesn't mean we're writing about ourselves. I had a therapist mistake a robot story about a dad who's kid dies getting turned into a robot despite her father's distinctly anti robot politics as a reverse of my dad dying as a kid. It was actually meant as an exploration of the ownership father's feel over their daughters and the way death makes us insanely selfish to the point of ignoring any and all potential wishes for the person we lost. Bringing people back from the dead for nothing but your own self soothing is selfish and cruel, but no because my dad died as a kid this was a Trauma Reversal of that situation and like no lol. The character may have been similar to my father (who was wildly abusive but extremely charismatic, but those traits describe everyone from sports players to fuckin Ronnie Regan so it's Not That Deep) but that does not mean that is who I was writing about. He was not I was just fuckin writing a story with themes that, frankly, were more reflective of my relationship to feminism than my relationship to my father.

Anyway if you think a writer had ripped their own story off consider: maybe you're the one who is projecting because like even if that was true zero people bag on (white) men who do this, I know this because a teacher I had in film school straight up said that show he wrote about inter office law politics was about his life as a lawyer and immediately I was like "if I ever said that about something I wrote whatever story that was would be mocked to death" and I'm sure I'm not the only one in a minority group that feels that way. I can't even write Super Basic Kinda Connected to my life shit without being accused of writing about myself let alone a full blown show I'm happy to say was Me Inspired.
