How are you all doing so far and how do you feel about spring time?

Also, I might end up sounding alot like Charile and Emily when I say this, but um.. to everyone on here from Hell that's a sinner, and a Overlord on this blog, I want to try and give you some hopefully helpful and kindhearted advice if you don't mind?

I do think you might have the chance to change, at least deep down inside, if that makes any sense to any of you, to like you know, be a better person so you can get to heaven like what Charile is trying to do, maybe if you ever think about it sometimes?

I know Angeldust is doing his best, hell even Husk, at least to me seems like he's trying to even if he doesn't care nor want to try but, I know he still cares about Angel and all his friends at the Hotel, ya know?

I hope that makes sense.. I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense or if some of you don't like it or want it, I get it. I know it might sound stupid or a lost cause to some of you. It honestly up to you all that Charlie wants to see reedeemed and get into heaven.

Btw, sorry if I say sorry alot, I'm not great with this sorta thing lol.

So you can just ignore me if you want to, if you think that anything I have to say is stupid at all or just nonsense to you, that's fine, ignore me all you want, after all I can't force you to do anything.

Either way, for anyone that wants to listen, please hear me out, I still hope that this, deep down, hopefully helps any of you, only if you ever want to truely be a better person some day, if you want to and are ready too that is.

Lol again, I can't force you to jack shit.

Look, I'm just hopeing for the best and that you all can go to heaven so you can rest in peace and get to do things that you mind not be able to do in Hell, I don't know the rules lmao

Like I said, only if you want to be able to go o heaven, like if you want to be reunited with anyone you love and miss alot. Only if it want to and if it actually means something to you, sorry if it doesn't.

Like I said, sorry if that sounds stupid or just silly to anyone of you all. I honestly don't know how any of you guys feel about this at all. No offense

I just wanted to make you all hopefully smile and feel better deep down, incase you're sad, upset, frustrated and if you are having a bad day in general and to make you think about it incase you never really thought about it before. Alright?

ps If any of you wants to choose to not coment or bother to answer me, that's ok too, I won't make you, since some of you might not like and or give a damn about what I have to say to try and help make your day better, at least just a little bit and feel hopeful, at all. I feel like Charlie, Vaggie and Charlie's dad, who I shall call Ducky or Just Luci as a nickname if he's ok with it, might be better and more qualfied for this kind of talk and advice in general, since I know they're all so just really careing and want the best for those they love and consider family as well as wanting to try and make hell a better place dispite it being hell.

Take care always. ✨️🙏😇 (I hope people don't come harassing me on my blog for trying to be nice for a rp ask blog thingy.. I just wanted to be nice and make people smile, plz dont hate me, I'm not trying to upset or offend anyone plz, I'm just a lil guy, if someone doesnt like what I said as a disabled person, then I wont be saying stuff like this no more, ill just keep it to myself & lurk instead, since that's the safer option for me :'3 )

"We're all doing pretty good here, thanks for asking! Spring is the one with flowers, right? I always really liked the idea of it, but we don't really have seasons in Hell, unfortunately. And your advice is really good! If any Sinners want to chime in..."

"Yeah, thanks, I 'preciate it. An' if people wanna harass you, they can take it up with my tommy gun."

"Well, I still don't know if Heaven is in the cards for me. There is such thing as too far gone. But thanks for the kind words."

"Husker is quite right. The vast majority of us are right where we belong. But if some demons want to strive for something better, I am happy to watch them fail! As for me, I'm quite happy where I am, and any change on my part is certainly not necessary."

"Yeah, I can't imagine anything better than what I've got right now, and I'm sure as hell not changing shit. And only I get to call Lucifer cute nicknames, so don't go getting too familiar."

#people had better not harass you #if they do let me know and i'll block them here too #haunted plush bunny #LV #charlie #ask charlie #angel #ask angel dust #husk #ask husk #alastor #ask alastor #vox #ask vox #hazbin hotel ask blog #ask blog #hazbin queued

At no time of the year do I feel more homicidal than on the days around New Year's Eve. I hope that anyone who sets off fireworks at any time other than midnight on New Year's Eve manages to blow their own head off with them. And then people say shit like "I'm not going to let a few cowardly animals and jumpy people spoil my fun”. If it was just midnight on New Year's Eve, hmmm, uhh, I'd still think it's a fucking primitive and stupid tradition to put pyrotechnics in the hands of drunk amateurs (a few die every year and dozens of apartments and houses burn down oh well), BUT I probably wouldn't be quite so fucking angry, ok. BUT IT'S NOT JUST MIDNIGHT, IT'S THE WHOLE FUCKING WEEK AROUND NEW YEAR'S EVE. On the day itself it's easily seven hours in which not 3 minutes go by without an explosion AND I LIVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE. When we lived in the city it was a fucking war zone.

For years we've been spending New Year's Eve stuck in the most soundproofed room in the house (in the city apartment it was the mini bathroom where we squeezed in front of the running washing machine with the dog - for hours), listening to incredibly annoying loud music to somehow drown out the fucking explosions outside and calming panicked dogs. This year my mom finally got a proper tranquilizer for her dog who has even peed in the apartment in the past bc of his extreme panic (which he would never do otherwise) so hopefully he will be more calm this time. My dog was completely bulletproof until last year and had no problem with fireworks, then last New Year's Eve a fucking neighbor boy set off a firecracker just as we were coming around the corner (at 6pm!!! which was the latest we dared to go out) and unfortunately she has been extremely scared ever since. For the last two weeks I've been carrying pieces of carrot everywhere (she loves them) so that I can throw one down her throat every time there's a bang, but unfortunately that only helps to a limited extent. We also play the sound of fireworks through speakers to desensitize them, but the dogs can tell that it's not the real thing.

“Blabla go somewhere else then for the night”. 1. as I said, it's not just one night. 2. you can't escape that shit. There is NO place in this fucking country where you are guaranteed to escape the fireworks. Ohh yes it's forbidden in old town centers - Ok, but nobody actually sticks to it. Ohh look on the islands here it's restricted - Yes, but nobody cares. The police doesnt even do shit to offenders. The damn national park where rare animal species live, which is a nature reserve, etc. ASKS its visitors not to use fireworks - ASKS!!!! WHAT????? I hate this fucking holiday so much.

#i literally heard firework go off right now omg i'm going insane #if i kill someone some day it's gonna be on new years eve #the most dangerous cruel pathetic egotistical tradition ever #everyone who has to have his hand or arms amputated bc he himself burnt off fireworks deserves it idc #fuck around and find out #i just feel bad for the innocent ppl who also get hurt/killed each year like run over by drunk drivers or having rockets thrown at them #and the poor animals #i am so angry i fucking hate humans #personal #wish me luck that ill be able to sleep tonight #last night there was firework shortly after midnight and then i spent an hour petting my scared dog #she fell back asleep faster than me though in the end lol

Say hello to Kingdom of the Local Anthill!

Say hello as well to my first micronation oc post, hopefully of many hehe

Also if youre here from the poland tag, this is a polish micronation, so, feliks child feliks child

Sadly, i was only able to find information on this micronation through the microwiki page, since i couldnt find any other pages for it. Any help on finding out more would be very much appriciated!

So! About Pietr! Immediately i will say, i chose the name purely because it sounded nice, any input on better names would also very much be appriciated! But for this post, i'll be sticking with Pietr

Once again, since there isnt that much info i could find on the micronation, for his personality i kind of hima'd it (aka, just bullshitted it)

He's cheery, literally a one year old, as the micronation announced its independance only a little over a year ago, but he tries his hardest to seem older, and cant say his age without adding that technically the anthill has existed since the 1950s, so he'd be the oldest in the group (and then gets glared at by seborga)

He tries to be very formal in his way of speaking, but struggles a bit with that, as he tries to copy what the macronations around him say, and the main one is Feliks, so he's mistakingly integrated a lot of slang into his hyper-formal way of speaking. (Hutt River and Molossia help him with that)

He takes his role as a personification very seriously, so seriously that he often will point out if something around his house could hurt or bother the ants! He has made feliks "throw out" anything that has a scent that ants dont like (he still has everything, just doesnt use it in front of pietr) and acts offended and as if he dislikes the scent as well (he actually enjoys lots of the scents, but thinks he'd be bad at his job if he admitted it)

Of course, he will start telling ant facts to anyone that he sees, and talks a lot about them with the micronation group

In his little backpack (made by eduard, nobody can tell otherwise) he carries everything that his overly worried family makes him bring around: bandaids, disinfectant, a snack just in case, and of course, his Carpenter Ant Plushie(TM)

Onto how everyone around feels about him, his family loves him, he's the little baby, and they all try their best of raising him.

Feliks and Tolys are trying to parent, and doing fine somehow? They bring him everywhere, and listen to him ramble about ants for hours (Tolys asks enough questions to keep him going on and on)

Eduard is the cool older brother, he brings him places when tolys and feliks are busy, and makes him stuffed animals and wooden toys (i have a stupid little headcanon that eduard really likes sewing and just making stuff in general)

Raivis is,,,,trying? He's already friends with most of the micronations, so he often accompanies him to the meetings, but he doesnt really know how to act around him, so whenever they talk he doesnt really say much, and mostly listens. (Once again, i have a headcanon that raivis is trying to figure out how the aging process works, so he's probably waiting to see how quickly he ages and also praying that he doesnt become older than him one day)

His closest friends in the micronation group are probably Hutt River, as he looks to him for advice on how to be a proper prince, he would ask Seborga but my personal version of him is not the friendliest*, Republic of Toku, and Rose Island (other micronation ocs i might maybe talk about in the future, for now just know that one is a space nerd, and the other is a fish nerd)

*I have completely different characters for seborga and molossia, and might change hutt river a bit as well, i will make sure to share them in the future!

Outside of his family and the micronation group, he doesnt really know many other people, since he's just a toddler

Well, well, well, guess who actually reached the end! I dont have anything more to say currently! If i find more i will add!

For reaching the end of this stupid little ramble, have Pietr in timeout

Also, here's the link to the microwiki page if you'd like to learn more!

#oop #just realized the theres a dot in the reference sheet #oh well #im not fixing it #OMG AND IN THE WRITING????#why do i suck at this ;-;#well #youre keeping this #hetalia #hetalia oc #aph poland #?#ehh #its for the feliks enjoyers #aph micronations #hws micronations

isn't it generally frowned upon within the tarot community to be reading people's energies without their consent ? /gen

Idk if thats a genuine question or if your intentions just to caluminate🙄 i really don't get people that don't like something and instead of just minding their own damn business decide to go out of their way and try to make others miserble🤡

Anyways, for the possibility that the question is actually just of pure curiosity I'll answer it, might also help others who are wondering.

So, i believe anyone can read based on their own morals and comfort level - if the intentions of the reader are pure there isn't any harm being done. This means for example if a certain reader reads not because they are just curious but because they are madly in love (obsessed) with a certain idol and genuinely want to invade their privacy with their nasty energy to know if they're dating or not. And then interpret it in a twisted way cuz of their obsessiveness.

Another point being, when you read at home about your siblings, or a friend, or how ur crush feels about you etc - aren't you reading on someone without their "consent"? I doubt you go around to people asking them if you can read tarot about them and if you do sry but ur weird - this would cause them more discomfort if you just done ur reading in peace. And why is that?

Because energy is SMART!!!!!! Ive said it before and Ill say it again - YOU CANT ACCESS ENERGY THE OWNER DOESNT WANT YOU TO ACCESS!!!!!!!!!

Or maybe you could try, cuz you don't know any boundaries - that would be harassment of the individual then, yeah. But just tapping into energy thats already there is not any different than seeing. Like you deciding to put glasses on to read better or whatever. Feeling energy is an innate gift we all have and im doing nothing different than that, the tarot is just to help me focus on certain aspects as to not get overwhelmed. Its not some sort of witchcraft or something i have to force or go out of my way to do! Because it comes naturally, not only to me but to every person on earth. Its just in your hands how much u want to develop that sense.

And as for the idols, I've also said that before, but ill say it again if i must - I've noticed their energy being much much eager to talk than mundane people in my life. Why - i assume because they habe so little freedom and opportunity to actually express themselves and be true to themselves. Every individual craves to be authentic - and I've come to believe readings might even be in a way therapeutic for certain idols' energy (not the idol itself!!!! Their energy!) and at the end of the day they are public figures - they are bound to be in peoples thoughts, mouths and to incite curiosity and...other stuff. They are public! And they know what they chose. There's boundaries of course don't get me wrong - stuff like stalking, useless hate etc is just not ok for ANYONE!!! But some gossip, some readings, some thirsting etc - those are harmless and don't impact the idol in any way CUZ THEY DONT KNOW US!!! Not to mention i believe readings like that actually can really help with an idols image/treatment since those just humanize them and take people out of their delulu bubbles (hopefully) which makes for a much humaner treatment in my opinion.

So yeah i talked a lot about many different topics and to finish off and to answer the actual question - im not chronically online and i don't blindly follow what people yap about on the bandwagon. Im also really not into the whole "don't offend me cuz im a snowflake and will break down at the smallest inconvenience". So I'd tell you that i don't really know. I learned tarot long time ago, i still follow some quality people i resonate with and most importantly i follow my own heart and my own logic and my own morals. And what this or that community thinks isn't really my problem because i have a head on my shoulders and can decide for themselves. And if it actually was so frowned upon, then maybe there wouldn't have been so many tarot reader blogs and channels🤡

Thanks for the tag, Master Grace! (just for that lovely tidbit, i think i'll watch the D&D movie today...)

name: Ro, Rone, or Lexi, since that's what my bestie calls me. None of them are actually my name but 🤷🏻‍♀️ that's what you're getting lol

pronouns: Is it bad that i have zero preference but not as an identity-thing? I just...genuinely don't mind she/he/they/bish/etc. I call everyone gurl, dude, and dearie with zero context, so hopefully that's never offended anyone...

where do you call home?: Eh...the Midwest. That's as specific as I feel comfortable with.

favorite animal: WOLVES!!!! (And I guess i love my little buttmunch kittays too...😉)

cereal of choice: Anything that doesn't get soggy in five seconds and isn't cinnamon-heavy, so...granola?

visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner: Visual, 100%, and yet I'm still an extremely slow reader, which is annoying.

first pet: my beloved Sparky (cat, as an adult living alone, R.I.P.) or bebe Rascal (gerbil, as a kiddo, very, very long time R.I.P.)

favorite scent: Allergies have destroyed my sense of smell over the decades, but ground coffee never fails to please 😍

do you believe in astrology: Nope, and yet somehow I am the most Gemini of Geminis. These things are not correlated lol. Sometimes I like to read horoscopes and make up crazy, outlandish 'meanings' behind those vague predictions, but that's the writer's mind in me...

how many playlists do you have on your music service of choice: A LOT. I am methodical though, so most are named by the month or season and year I made them. There are some story playlists as well, but not for every one.

sharpies or highlighters: Highlighters. I love pens, but ink bleeding drives me bonkers. Seldom use Sharpies except for labeling which of course I have a machine for now anyway.

song that makes you cry: Recently? 'Carry You' by Ruelle, 'What Was I Made For?' by Billie Eilish, and 'Evermore' by Dan Stevens (from Beauty and the Beast)

song that makes you happy: Probably anything by AJR or Imagine Dragons... IDK, most music makes me feel a whole lot of things all at once.

and finally, do you write/draw/create: I write. I have since I was 12. Like everybody, I get stuck or have periods where I step away all together, but I always come back. I'm always creating stories, scenarios, and characters to help put my feelings and what I've learned/experienced into a narrative someone else (and me) can understand. It's likely my true purpose in life, but it ain't gonna pay the bills, ya know? I love art of all kinds but writing is the only one I'm good at.

No pressure taggies (and sorry if you've already done this one)! @darsynia @peyton--warren @sarahdonald87 @brandycranby @levans44 @sweater-daddiesdumbdork @drabblewithfrannybarnes @geralts-yenn @nana1000night @jamneuromain @whiskeytangofoxtrot555 @sconnie-doesnt-know @anika-ann

Tagged by @thebreakfastgenie 🥰💚❤️

name: Grace. This is my first new url in over a decade so I don’t have a cute nickname.

pronouns: she/her

where do you call home?: Boston, Massachusetts. The site of the skyline makes me feel more at ease.

favorite animal: my cat Francesca.

cereal of choice: I would say Honeycomb Cereal but I think it contains gelatin and since I’m Muslim I can’t eat it anymore 😭. So- honestly corn flakes. I am easy to please with carbs.

visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner: I’m literally just going to steal Genie’s answer because yeah. I would say I learn by doing. My mom says I’m a visual learner, but really it’s just that I need instructions written down because my working memory is pretty poor. My auditory memory is excellent, I think because I have perfect pitch, so I use that for memorization a lot.

first pet: A pet that was just mine and not a family pet? A beautiful red beta fish named Mitchell. He lived for 5 years after I got him.

favorite scent: the smell of hot concrete after it rains.

do you believe in astrology: nope and I have become a total grouch about it. I really do kind of hate it now. I’m sorry but I’m just so tired 😭

how many playlists do you have on your music service of choice: I mostly only use my own personal iTunes account though I have a few Spotify playlists…my own personal iTunes I have 6 apparently- but I only use 3.

sharpies or highlighters: in the end, probably highlighters for overall utility, but sharpies are so pretty!!!!

song that makes you cry: 18-Wheeler by Alabama and All I Ask by Adele.

song that makes you happy: there are too many to choose from! The first one I thought of was Christie Lee by Billy Joel.

and finally, do you write/draw/create: I write a bit sometimes. I DM a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. I sing. I make TikToks because I can sing and act but I can’t draw. I knit.

@leia-connor-vas-serenity

3. 4. 17. and 20 for the ask game c:

Hi Helli!

Oops somehow I talked my religious trauma my bad! XD

3. A specific color that gives you the icky?

Besides like booger green, cause who likes that color XD

I dont really like red. Like I don't hate it, but on its own, I don't like it. Because while my mom was going crazy and creating her own religion she had this thing with colors, eventually she went through the whole rainbow, but it started off with green being evil (my fav color). She actually wanted to burn my green bedding haha. So green was evil and red was the pure godly color. Everything had to be red. It drove me nuts when I visited.

Red as apart of something? Good lovely ❤️

Red on its own? Not so good. (I'm so sorry Raph, I still love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️)

4. Mythical creature you think/believe is real?

Ooh this is hard, because I don't really believe in the mythical! (In order to get some peace of mind when I left the church I made myself believe demons were not real).

But at 6th grade camp the counselor liked to scare everyone every year by telling us the story of goatman. And I certainly got freaked out. He said that goatman hated the song Mary had a little lamb. So then all of us were analyzing whether singing the song would keep him away or make him mad to come after us. I was going to sleep on the top bunk but another girl convinced me it would be easier to escape goatman from the bottom bunk XD

So, at one point, I did believe in goatman XD

Though if it were what do I want to be real? Pegasus <3

17. An anxious compulsion you do everyday?

A big issue for me is anxiety over the end times and dying. Gee, I wonder where that came from? XD

For years after I left I would read a chapter of the Bible every night and say a prayer as a form of protection. (Definitely did not like what i was reading, there are some messed up stories oof). If I forgot I made sure to read it in the car before I left. Car accidents are a big anxiety for me.

I've actually been not doing this as much anymore. Too much time on tumblr too eepy haha. It's been good for me. And so far I've been fine!

20. Favorite Disney princess movie

The Princess and the Frog! I love Tiana so much. She is the best girl. And the songs are wonderful. Somehow I like Naveen better as a frog lol. My mom almost made us get rid of it though because they solve the bad voodoo problems with good voodoo. Honestly don't know how she let me keep the dvd!

Thank you for the questions!

#ask game #long post #wren askbox #sorry to trauma dump on main lol #it does make me feel better talking about it though #so hopefully this doesnt offend anyone #tw religion #i guess?

Hello, can i get a match up if its not too much trouble :>

Fandom: Kengan Ashura

Name: Klara

MBIT: INTP

Zodiac sign: Leo

Looks:

-gray/green eyes +glasses

-166cm/90kg

-tattoos and losts of bracles and rings

-blue hair

Hobbies:

i mostly draw

Like:

Drawing, cats, cooking, play fighting/annoying my friends lol

Dislikes:

social events/most people tbh and bugs

Personality:

Id say im quite creative, have a bit of anger issues and a bit of a bully but in a teasing way(if that makes sence), comfrontatinal but mostly chill.

I have a habit of hating being touched unless its someone i see as a close friend/family.

Sexuality:bi

Preferene in partners:

Someone who doesnt get offended easily or stuck up

I hope i got everything (sorry for any type-os)and Thank you!!!

i match you w adam dudley !! okay, okay, hear me out. adam is v harsh + an asshole at face value, but once you get to know him, he’s an absolute sweetie pie. he’s protective, he’s caring, still not super kind, but he shows it in his own ways. his potty mouth + closed mindedness only comes w his age of immaturity, but i can see him becoming way more intelligent + respectful as he ages. like fine wine, baby.

he’s not really one to get easily offended since he has a bit of a god complex so anyone’s insults will just kinda slide right off of him. he also really loves to tease + bully so he knows that if he dishes it, he’s gotta be able to take it, as well. you could probably make little quips at each other for an entire day without either of you actually hurting feelings + you’d just have a great time.

he is very touchy, though, and wouldn’t necessarily care if you hate being touched. if y’all are dating, hopefully you don’t mind it + actually crave it, but if he knows it’s something you hate, he’ll only do it to annoy you. he shows his affection by being annoying so take this a compliment 🙂

(i couldn't find any gifs of him 😔)

Kitsune reader in the form of a fox sunbathing, to the surprise of zero people is equal to Mouche but even smaller

Childe:are you dwarf foxes or something?

Scaramouche:No, we just had the misfortune of pulling our mother's little height

Kitsune reader turns on its back and chest and fluffy and irresistible bellies

Omg I love this idea so muchhhhh- and the fact that Childe wouldnt let it go when seeing how small they were. I feel like Kitsune reader would kinda step up for Scaramouche and them if they started pressing on size.

"Yeah, we were unlucky with our height," was your only reply along with Scaramouche. The two of you lay on a spare towel, well cared for fur shining in the sun. You would've been happy to enjoy the moment with your brother and his little... friends. But you could see the tension on Scaramouche's face, even as a kitsune. As the older sibling, you also had the responsibility to beat the shit out of anyone who hurt him. But Childe was strong, and you instead had to settle with being a sassy bitch instead. "Where did your luck run out? Mother or father...? Of maybe neither, sometimes the unlucky ones just grow a bit too tall on there own."

Confusion tainted the boys face as he opened his mouth to respond. Scaramouche on the other hand seemed to lighten up a little bit, just a little bit. Signora looked slightly offended.

But you didnt stop there.

"Some people look good tall," you replied to Childe's asking stare. "But you have a baby face, doesnt help that you're named after a literal 'kid.' Seems like the gods might've spilled a bit too much height when creating you. And when I say a little, I mean a lot." You angled your head to look at Signora, "You on the other hand have the perfect form and face for it." There was annoyance on Childe's face when you turned back to him. "I guess not everyone can be lucky."

Scaramouche rolled on his side, burying his head in the towel to snicker in the odd way that foxes did it. As the older sibling, you'd done your job. Hopefully Childe didnt grab you both by the tail now.

#genshin impact #kitsune reader #childe would be so offended too lmao #i swear i dont mean it tho he looks good as a tall mf

Okay but I have this thing in my head, sort of a personal headcanon, that Will and Hotch are close. Not like brothers but also much closer then the show ever says. It’s Hotch and Will setting up play dates for the boys, doing soccer days together and when the team go on a night out and Will comes, they have no issue sitting together for ages and chatting about shit, from work, to the boys.

I do think Hotch sat Will down when he moved to DC to kinda do a “talk” with him. Like, hey both your hours are gonna be shit and you’re both gonna be tired and frustrated some days and that’s okay. But Henry comes first above EVERYTHING.

In fact, Hotch is secretly against JJ becoming a profiler, knowing how much doing that specific job will change her and her relationships to others, and he remembers her years ago saying she could never be a profiler. And it’s like, watching his little sister change into someone he can’t really recognise anymore. Over time she’s become so judgemental and such a good liar and keeps so much shit from the team that he’s not surprised when Will calls him asking about JJ because she won’t be honest with her own husband.

And Hotch will be honest to him, saying that shit has been going on but he doesn’t know what’s going on with JJ specifically, and he always offers to talk to JJ and order her to take time off.

Will knows Hotch loves JJ and Henry like a brother and uncle, and he’s always in his corner when he realises JJ isn’t all that she seems.

(Yes could I write a whole essay about JJ and my issues with her? Yes.)

Will!

i love this akjsdhglaj i love the idea of hotch sitting will down for a talk and wills a little freaked out thinking it’s gonna be the “don’t hurt her or i’ll teach you what hurt is�� talk but its the fucking opposite: he talks ab how their job sucks ass and to prepare for disappointments. thats so funny akjsdhlgfakj i especially love will being the one to really take initiative to connect with hotch and arrange kid stuff for henry and jack.

but honestly i think it would be kinda fun if hotch kept his distance from will at first. he’s still so hurt by jj keeping all this from him that he’s scared to do anything that’ll only add to her discomfort. he doesnt want her to think she cant trust him with info ab her personal life, so he tries hard not to cross any boundaries that she could perceive in a negative light. so he stays away from will.

will meanwhile hasn’t interacted with hotch to understand why he’s so standoffish, so he’s worried that maybe he did something to offend him or that hotch doesn’t approve of their relationship or smth… espec when jj tells him how she cant get time off, and whatever else she blames on hotch so she doesnt have to be honest with him.. it just doesn’t seem like either of them are off to a particularly good start

so it’s like a slowburn thing ajslhdgg like the more they interact the more will realizes that hotch is actually a sweet guy.. especially when will sees the way hotch interacts w jack and henry. will puts more effort into getting to know him and hopefully get him past whatever’s holding him back. hotch does eventually begin lowering his defenses—will’s disarming that way—and they form a friendship that isn’t reliant on their mutual connection with jj.

either way i love this concept.. i get the not-quite-brothers thing, but its not like hotch has the closest relationship with his actual brother anyway, so i imagine will just happening to fill a certain void in hotch’s life.. giving will advice on what to expect from a baby, will calling hotch to come help when neither of them can get henry settled, just checking in on each other in general and seeing how jj’s doing… casual things that aren’t the most intimate or anything, but neither of them really have anyone to have this kind of chill but supportive relationship with

#will!!#idk its the little things that all add up yk?#hotch being the designated driver on the teams night out and dropping jj off at home #spending some time chatting w will maybe drinking a cup of coffee or smth while they catch up #and like.. the whole relationship between jack and henry is just so precious #like henry's a couple years younger but jack doesnt look down on him or anything..#he engages w his interests and shows him cool stuff.. idk just.. Older Brother Jack #asks

An Essay On Alloaro's

Before I begin this stupidly long post, I want to add a disclaimer. This post is going to talk specifically about alloaro issues in the community, and only those issues. Everyone one in the aspec community faces issues that deserve to be talked about. That being said, there is a trend in the community to focus on issues skewing more towards asexuals and aroaces. So this post is for those who are rarely talked about. Alloaro's.

With that out of the way, lets begin. The aspec community encompasses two seperate communities of identity. The Acespec Community, asexuals and their spectrum. The Arospec Community, aromantics and their spectrum. However their is this common practice of using aspec in reference to only the Acespec community which is problematic in a few ways. This discourse has been coming up again recently with people claiming that aromantics are included under asexual using aspec to refer to asexuals. This is aromantic erasure, but it also has a heavy impact on a smaller community within the Arospec Community. One thats often forgotten about and the topic of this post.

The discourse around aromantics being under the asexual identity is extremely alloarophobic. It erases us as an identity as it implies that to be aromantic you have to be asexual or be irreversibly linked to asexuality. Its gotten to the point where "Not all aro's are ace" isn't enough to drown out the arguments, which in all honesty it never was enough. Discourse has turned into antagonism against a small community that barely ever gets its voice heard.

If you've made it this far, wonderful. Now, I'm going to break down issues we face inside and outside the aspec community and hopefully how to fix them.

Lack Of Informative Alloaro Centered Content

Its seen all the time. Aspec and LGBT positivity and informational posts simply forgetting the existence of aromantic identities or even worse, when alloaro representation ends at "Not all aro's are ace". To be clear, we have terminology that can be used beyond a single sentence of representation. Terminology that can helo those who may be questioning their orientation and are unable to even find posts about being allosexual and aromantic. How can we fix this? Simple. Acknowledge our terminology. Instead of saying a single line about us, mention us as who we are. Allosexual Aromantics.

Our Representation Being Flooded Over

I want you to imagine for a second you are in the shoes of a questioning alloaro. You've struggled with your aromanticism and don't know if thats even who are, or if you're just a "late bloomer". So, you turn to the aromantic community to try and learn about others experiences. Thats when a knot forms in your throat. As far as you can tell, almost all of the most shared, acknowledged, and featured content around the community is either blatantly asexual or aroace. You know for a fact you aren't asexual, and now you've found yourself reinforcing the idea that you can't be aromantic because of that. Just imagine that for a second. This is something tons of alloaro's have gone through before discovering that such a line of thinking is false.

How many times have you seen posts talking about how the aromantic tags get flooded with purely asexual content? Or that other aromantic identities are forgotten over the vast majority of the community favoring aroaces? This is a massive issue, and it just reinforces the idea that aromanticism and asexuality are connected or are requirements for eachother. Alloaro content and posts get burried under a slew of aroace and asexual content. Content that sometimes doesn't even get tagged as aroace, but just aromantic, making it nearly impossible to filter out for alloaros who want the allosexual part of their identity acknowledged. A passage from @aroworlds "Allosexual Aromantic Erasure: A Guide" says it best.

"Aro-aces deserve the right to see aro-ace content in aromantic spaces, but we need to address this imbalance in terms of what content dominates and how it impacts allo-aro participation in our shared community. Only then can we renegotiate a relationship that doesn’t tend to allo-aro erasure."

How can we fix it? Simple.

If your content doesnt substantially mention aromantics (more then just a sentence tacked on at the end), do not tag it aromantic. And for gods sake, NEVER tag purely asexual content as alloaro.

If your content is aroace, tag it aroace or include asexual in your tags. This allows alloaro's who want to see more representation of their allosexual identity to blacklist the term asexual in their feed. It also helps differentiate the content from being seen as aromantic and nothing else.

A Refusal To Acknowledge Or Talk About Alloaro Experiences

I've said it before and I will say it again. The alloaro experience is fundamentally different then that of aroaces, asexuals, and other identities in the Aspec community. ALL EXPERIENCES IN THE ASPEC COMMUNITY are different and simply assuming that since you've mentioned aroaces or aromantics means that you covered everything is erasure. The way we experience our aromanticism is changed due to our allosexual identities. In the aspec community, it's almost more accepted to be aroace then it is to be alloaro. In spaces for aspec discussion alloaro's often have to filter out their allosexual experiences in fear of offending or making someone who isn't allosexual uncomfortable. Rarely do you ever see a space for alloaro discussion and as a result our struggles often go unheard or even ignored by the community.

Lets take a moment to mention what we face, so that we can at least get the acknowledgement we deserve.

The coding of sexual attraction and sexual acts being inherently romantic

The vilification of sexual acts without reciprocal romantic attraction

The assumption that FWB is societal representation of alloaro's

The unspoken community caution around talking about sexual attraction or sexual experiences in the aspec community, even when tagged as aromantic or given proper warning to asexual members

Being labeled as predatory by society and even within LGBT spaces and communities

A lack of even the slightest education on how to go about sexual encounters without romantic intent in a healthy manner

The flooding of sex negative content in the aromantic tag (along with simply asexual content as a whole)

And much more I could mention but the list would drag on forever. How can we fix this? Simple.

Create more spaces for alloaro discussions and boost content that shares our struggles. Never assume you've covered our experiences because you've mentioned aroaces. Never assume you've covered our experiences because you've mentioned aromantics without specifically talking about alloaro's. Help change the atmosphere of the aspec community to make it more acceptable to talk about sexual experiences in aromantic spaces because they are not the same as asexual spaces.

Closing Statement

There is alot more I could talk about in this essay but its gotten to a length in which I doubt anyone would actually read further so I'm going to wrap things up. All aspec issues and experiences deserve to be discussed, bo matter what identity it centers around. However, that means they deserve to be discussed equally. Whether intentioned or not, refusing to acknowledge the differences in alloaro experiences is erasure, and it harms us as community. We need to elevate the voices of those who go talked over or unheard in our community. We need to stop the harmful ideas that come about when a community for all aspec identities is dominated by the views, opinions, and experiences of one side. The Aspec community is for Asexuals and Aromantics. Two separate identities with their own struggles, experiences, needs, and lives. If we can acknowledge that, and stop lumping ourselves together as if the other side doesn't exist, we can come together as a community.

Everyone deserves a voice, so lets give them one. One we're willing to hear out.

my neighborhood (peter parker x vigilante!reader) [1]

request: @annamckayla : HELLO! Omg i love ur writing so much ahhhh! I was hoping I could request for a peter x reader, where they are both heroes (or reader is bad idm up to you) and they are fighting ppl / each other but they are super flirty! AHH OK ILY BYEEE ;)))))))))

warnings: sarcasm, insulting, flirting, fighting. reader is a vigilante, goes to midtown high and is semi close friends with peter. kinda like a hate love relationship. alsooo reader’s powers is speed and eletricity so basically the flash idkdkdk sorry

edited: i’m working on a new series based off of this request! masterlist for it is here

a/n: my first request! so happy hehe ilyt!! also im so sorry if this doesnt make sense, im not great with super powers lol

pov: first, y/n

masterlist

I have to admit. He’s cute, but he’s so irritating. Is it the fact that he’s so undeniably cute? Yes. No, yes but Peter is such a know it all, or at least I think so.

For some reason, it didn’t stop me from hanging out with him and his friends for the past couple of months. After picking up some school lunch, I grab a seat in front of Peter and Ned.

“Hey Y/n,” Ned smiles. “Hi Ned! Hi Peter,” I greet back, looking over at Peter. He didn’t seem to notice, his eyes too focused on Liz.

“Why do you even hang out with them Y/n, they’re losers,” I hear MJ pipe up. Ned, Peter and I all turn our heads to her.

“True-” I stifle a laugh.

“Then why are you sitting here with us?” Peter retorts.

“Because she’s cool, and doesn’t drool over seniors like, someone,” I cough, smirking at him. He rolls his eyes and glares at me.

“She’s not wrong,” Ned murmurs.

“Dude!” Peter huffs, making me giggle. He smiles slightly and slumps on the palm of his hand, looking away.

“Pete, could you come over after school? I need help with chem, and I know you need help with English,” I poke him with a fork causing him to swat me away.

“Yeah whatever, I think that’s just an excuse to get me to come over,” he teases.

“Shut up!” I groan. Ned and MJ share a suspicious glance. “What?” I ask cluelessly.

“Nothing,” they both say quietly.

After a long dreadful day of school, Peter and I met up at the front of the school, by the gates.

“Hey Penis Parker,” I smirk, holding onto my backpack straps.

He lets out a long sigh, “Not you too, Y/n. C’mon,” he huffs.

“I’m just messing with you Pete,” I bump into him, beginning to walk ahead.

He follows, catching up easily, “Right. Anyways, have you heard about the new vigilante in town?”

I tense at the subject, “Uhm yeah, that speedy girl?”

“Yup. What do you think about her?”

“Uh, I don’t know. All I know is that she’s probably better than Spider-Man.”

He looks at me offended, “Who’s to say? Spider-Man is like, super-human, he has a bunch of powers-”

“Don’t get your panties all in a twist, I’m just saying,” I laugh, “Sheesh didn’t think you were such a big fan of Spider-Man.”

“U-uh why wouldn’t I be, he’s s-super cool.” “Said every teenager ever, I like this new girl. She’s kind of refreshing y’know?”

“Meh,” Peter shrugs, and I scoff shoving him aside.

We eventually head to my apartment and study together. I messed around while Peter tried to help me with homework, but he ended up getting distracted anyways.

I let out a long groan, “Shut up! You’ve been talking about chemistry for the past 30 minutes and I didn’t understand one thing that came out of your mouth.”

Peter’s mouth drops. He throws one of my pillows at me, “You asked me to come over!”

“I know, because I’m lonely.”

“Sure.”

“You’re right, I just needed you to do my homework.”

“I hate you.”

“I love you too,” I flash him a cheeky smile, causing him to roll his eyes. I glance over at the clock, “Hey uh, I think you should head out soon. My dad’s coming back from work soon and you know how he is with boys.”

“Yeah yeah, don’t miss me too much,” he gets up, gathering his things.

“Reverse card!” “See you,” he chuckles and walks off.

“Bye Penis Parker!” I yell, making sure he left. As soon as he closed the front door, I rush into my closet to get out my suit.

After putting it on and tidying up room, I head out my window and jump out to the fire escape.

I decide to scan the city, running and jumping from building to building. It seemed quiet so I sat down on the ledge of some random building.

I hear a quiet thud next to me. I glance over at the figure, who I made out to be Spider-Man. “Ah, well if it isn’t the infamous Spider-Man.”

“Thought I’d check out who the new girl in town is,” he chuckles. His voice seemed higher than I expected it to be, it almost sounds familiar. Weird. Could it be? No way, that’s impossible.

“You care about me? I’m touched,” I place a hand on my heart. I hear him stifle a laugh and shake his head.

He went quiet for a second and stood up from his crouching position, “There’s something going on by 5th street in some warehouse,” he says.

“Guess we should head over-”

“We? I don’t know about that new girl, this is my neighborhood,” he jumps off the ledge, swinging from building to building.

The fuck, who does this guy think he is!?

I rush downstairs and speed off to 5th street, managing to get there before he did. “Yes, we,” I cross my arms looking up at Spider-Man who arrived shortly after me.

He scoffs, “So you’re fast. Hopefully you can catch up, sweetheart,” he swings up to the roof of a warehouse.

I quickly follow, managing to find a way inside and on to the rooftop. I run over to where Spider-Man is crouched down behind a large air vent. I poke my head out to see a poor lady tied to a chair, with a bunch of men surronding her.

“Some kind of intense hostage situation,” he whispers.

“You’re an intense hostage situation,” I murmur.

“What? Shut up!” he whispers. “Oh my god, I think that’s the mayor.”

He jumps up from the vent, placing his hands on his hips. “Hey uh, guys I don’t think you should be treating a lady- especially our mayor like that,” he says, changing the pitch of his voice. I scrunch up my nose at his awkwardness.

“What the fuck, who called him-!” I hear a rough voice yell out, followed by a series of gunshots and screaming.

Spider-Man yelps and manages to fling some guns aside, causing two men to gang up on him, “Hey, new girl a little help!” he yells out. There another two men next to the mayor, with large guns in their hands.

“On it!” I call back, rushing over to the two men circling them. “Hi there,” I grin, place my hands on their guns surging a large amount of eletricity to them, knocking them out.

I help the mayor out, making sure she wasn’t injured or anything. “Karen, call the police and give them our location,” I hear Spider-Man mumble quickly, grunting as he knocks out the two men he was dealing with.

The mayor who was still in complete shock began to ramble, “T-thank you Spider-Man. T-thank you?” she looks over at me.

“Uhm, Velocity?” I rub my arm as Spider-Man watches in amusement.

“Thank you both really-” she sniffs. Suddenly, the roof top door slams open and a bunch of big bulky men come out with these weird looking weapons.

“Heads up, Spidey!” I yell, as one of the men shoot their weird looking gun that emitted some type of green energy.

I grab the Mayor and speed down to the front of the building, where a bunch of police cars pulled up.

Shocked from the momentum, she falls to her knees. “I’m so sorry, but I had to get you out of there. Stay safe!” I rush back to the rooftop.

I notice Spider-Man struggling to get this one guy off of him, “Pretty boy, to your right!” I yell. I run over to one of the weapons and toss it to him.

He quickly webs it and slings it against the guy, knocking him out, “Pretty boy?” he scoffs.

“Yeah, that’s what you sound like!” I grunt, punching a guy who was coming to my left with a surge of electricity.

“So you’d be an annoying girl?” he smirks, also fighting off someone who rushed towards him.

“I’d be honored,” I scoff. “Holy shit!” I let out a yelp as I felt myself being lifted in the air by one of the weapons.

I hear a quick thwip and suddenly I was back on my feet, with Spider-Man’s arm around my waist, “My hero-” I gasp dramatically.

“Cute,” he rolls his eyes. He pushes me towards another guy who was trying to get their weird gun to work.

I frown instantly, and circle around him grabbing the gun before he could do anything. I fling it against him, and press my hand harshly on the gun, causing eletricity to rush all over him.

He knocks out, and I turn around, seeing Spider-Man fling against the air vent. I inhale sharply and rush towards the guy, knocking him off his feet causing him to let go of the weapon.

I kick it away, the guy gets back up and attempts to punch at me. I easily dodge his attacks and punch him with eletricity.

“Oh my god, I did it- I mean we did it! We-” I look over at Spidey who was slump on the ground. “Shit,” I speed over to his side, propping his head up onto my lap. “Pretty boy, you still there?”

I notice his mask was slightly cut open, blood seeping out from the side of his head. I knew that he had the mask on for a reason, but he could be dying. It’s not like I would out him to anyone. I understand why he would keep his identity a secret, it’s what I do as well.

I inhale deeply, pulling off his mask. I let out a gasp, “Peter!?”

You Know I’m a Minor Chapter 06

Previous Chapter 05

Beginning Chapter 01

Another week, another party. Well it hasn’t exactly been a week, and also this wasn’t just a party, it was a kegger at the bone yard. Pogue turf.

You haven’t told anyone about your encourter with Ward at the party, and you figured Rafe would keep his mouth shut, in an effort to please his father. There was something that made you uneasy at the thought of Sarah, and John B’s recent behavior was getting you annoyed.

“John B, find someone in your own league,” you scolded, you were sitting next to JJ and Kie, as you watched John B staring at Sarah Cameron. She was with her boyfriend Topper, and his frosted tips.

John B stuttered, “I- I don’t know what you are talking about,”

“Oh please John B, you are totally eye fucking her,” JJ adds.

You tense at his bluntness.

“I wouldn’t mess around with her if I were you. She-she’s like a spitting cobra! First she blinds you-”

Pope interrupts,”This is not a good analogy,”

John B mutters something and heads of to help pass out beers at the keg.

“Everything okay Y/n?” Kie asks you, you had zoned out in thought, if John B got close with Sarah she could tell him everything. But really, what did she even know. Just the fact that she could have heard your entire conversation with Ward, the fact that Ward hugged you, and then lied about it? Yeah, not a big deal at all.

“Yeah...um..I just need a beer,” you mumble and then get up to follow John B.

“She totally has a huge crush on John B,” Kie concludes.

JJ practically chokes on his beer, “Huh what?! No way,”

“She got all tense when he was focused on Sarah, and believe me, Y/n doesnt really drink, unless she’s upset or something,”

JJ looked down at his beer, he didn’t know why he cared about what you may or may not feel about his best friend. But his smile sprung back when a cute touron said hi.

The whole night you tried to stop staring at Sarah. She hasn’t even noticed you, but you were sure if she did it would spark a conversation between her and John B.

You wandered alone towards the ocean, not wanting to fall down the rabbit hole of beer and touron hookups.

You sat down on the beach edge, letting the waves creep up but not touch your sandals.

“Hey Y/n, don’t freak out. I just want to talk,” someone says, but it’s muffled to you. So you ignore it.

He taps you on the shoulder, snapping you out of your daze.

“I just want to say I wasn’t cool with what Rafe did,” Topper says, it was almost like an apology. Almost.

You ignore him, pulling your knees into your chest.

“Are you um,” he clears his throat, “are you okay?”

“Fine,” you reply, you weren’t exactly sure what impression Topper was under, but you didn’t feel like talking to him.

“I don’t want to sound like a dick. But, you know, Rafe is my friend, and my girlfriend’s brother...”

He was rambling.

“...and anyway I just want to make sure you won’t say anything,” Topper finishes.

“Excuse me?” you ask, insulted that he thought you were a snitch but also at how petty he was.

“I mean, there are serious charges and we wouldn’t want this to cause a scene,”

“Okay, fuck you, Topper,” you roll your eyes, attempting to leave, until Topper steps infront of you, blocking your way.

“C’mon Y/n, don’t be like this,”

“Topper get out of my way,”

Suddenly he pulls something from his pocket, it looks like an 100 dollar bill, your eyes widen, you’ve only really seen bills as high as $20.

“Wait-“

“Take this,” he offers, holding your hand and placing the money neatly folded inside.

“Topper I don’t want this...”

Topper moves closer and make sure you are sharing full eye contact, he opens his mouth to say something when a winery girl voice interrupts us.

“Topper?” Sarah asks. Your stomach feels like it’s dropping. Instantly, nerves are all you feel.

“Oh hey Sarah,” Topper pauses, gesturing for you to leave, you comply and turn the other way, waking past Sarah, but not making eye contact.

“Why were you talking with her?” You hear Sarah ask. Topper better have a good lie.

“I was asking her what her dirty pogue friends were doing at Rafe’s party last night,” Topper explains.

Sarah doesn’t seem convinced, “are you lying to me?”

“No, no baby. I love you, I wouldn’t lie, especially over a pogue,”

You leave it at that and head to the keg, near there JJ , John B, and Kie are laughing about something, you were glad they didn’t seen you talking to Topper. And that John B had hopefully moved on from Sarah, after all she had a boyfriend.

“Finally my bae is back,” Kie smiles, John B extends a beer cup out to you, to which you reluctantly accept.

“Let’s play a game!”

Kie had asked you truth or dare, you chose truth.

“Do you have a crush on John B?” Kie asked, smirking and acting all giddy.

John B coughed.

“No. No offense John B,” you respond honestly.

“None taken,” he says, “no pogue-on-pogue macking.”

You nod in response, and Kie huffs.

“Pope truth or dare?” You question.

“Truth,” he replies, JJ mutters something like ‘pussy’ under his breath.

“Would you rather take JJ’s gun, or get your scholarship,”

“Scholarship. At this point there’s no stopping him from doing something stupid with that,” Pope replies.

JJ smirks at gives him a high five. Pope slaps him away.

“Okay Y/n, truth or dare!?” John B asked you.

You smirked at him, you had already said truth 2 times and you were feeling buzzed, “Dare.”

John B smiled, “I dare you to switch clothes with JJ,”

You feel like your eyes were going to jump out of their sockets, but you tried to play it cool, sure it was just a fun idea, but your body wasn’t ready to be on display. The paint hadn’t dried. And by that, I mean the bruises hadn’t faded.

“You can pass, but then you’ll have to tell us your deepest darkest secret,”

You could just make something up, but you didn’t want to lie more than you had to.

“Fine,” you shrug, grabbing JJs hand and pulling him past a bush or something.

“Do they mean..like..underwear and shit?” JJ asks, already pulling off his ash blue t-shirt.

“Um I don’t know,” you answer, pulling off your shorts and scolding JJ if he faced you.

He threw you his shorts and you handed him yours.

“I need your shirt,” JJ states.

“Um...But you’ll stretch it out,” you whine, hoping to get him off your track.

“Nuh uh, you got a view of this,” he gestures to himself.

You gulp down.

“I-um okay,” you fumble with the fabric of his shirt. It smelled like him.

You turn so your back is facing him, you faintly remember checking if there were any bruises on your back. You hadn’t been home in a few days and the ones on your back should be faded.

You pull from the bottom, and let the fabric slide up your figure.

You were wearing a string bikini under it. It was tied into a perfect bow.

JJ couldn’t take his eyes off this new view of your silloette he didn’t want to offend you, but his heart was thumping so hard against his chest.

But then, he saw it. Something he never expected to be littered on your perfect body.

But his view was obstructed when you pulled on his shirt. It dropped perfectly. He should have been amused by the dare, but he was just concerned.

You walked passed him with confidence, bumping your shoulder with his.

But he couldn’t comprehend, maybe he was being too worried for nothing.

Before you could leave, JJ grabbed your upper arm.

You regretted it instantly, “ow,” you whimpered.

“Y/n- wait did I hurt you? What’s going on? You have a huge mark on your back...”

“I just...” you sighed deeply, “please don’t tell the others.”

JJ was intrigued but concerned, “someone hurt you?”

“No,” she responded, “Rafe just grabbed my arm really hard, it left a bruise. I’m sorry,”

“Don’t be sorry Y/n,” JJ stated, “what about the one on your back, it looked like it was an old one,”

“Um...” you paused, searching for another lie, “I think it was from surfing,”

JJ nodded, “you know you can talk to me if-“

“If what?” You challenged.

JJ scoffed. You could tell you hit a nerve, he was implying that someone was hurting you. JJ would know all about that, he just confided in you about problems with his dad, and you were acting completely annoying.

JJ left, he turned to go back to the group.

“Shit!” You muttered, running your hands through your hair. You were frustrated. You weren’t used to people caring.

You contemplated just ditching the bone yard, but Jj had your clothes. And that was your favorite long sleeve.

You ran after JJ and joined the others, tension palpable between you and JJ.

You felt completely empty, maybe you deserved it tonight.

When the stars began to appear in the sky, the group gathered and headed into the van.

You sat next to John B in the front seat, flicking JJs silver lighter on and off.

“You spending the night?” John B asks you.

You comtemplated it for a minute, knowing JJ was already suspicious, you told John B to drop you off on your street.

“Bye guys,” you wave and exit his car, Pope hops out of the car and takes your shot gun position.

It was late, around 11:00pm. You tried to be slow when entering the house, but your father was already sitting on the porch. Waiting for you.

When he saw you, you felt your muscles tense. A physical response, or was it emotional, there was no denying the immense fear you felt at the sight of this man. Who was suppose to love you.

“Look who decided to show up. Figured you would come crawling back. You had me worried sick you know that? God damn, how am I suppose to control a daughter like you,”

“I’m sorry,” your mind was racing, “can I...go to bed?” You asked cautiously.

He didn’t look frustrated like he usually would when you asked for something, but when you approached the door, he grabbed both of your shoulders aggressively.

You were good at concealing your pain, “please.”

“What were you doing?” He shakes his head in disappointment.

You don’t answer him, you lip was shaking so you bit it down.

“Tell me! NOW!” He screamed.

“I was-I w- I was working,” you said. Thinking quickly when you remembered the money Topper gave you. Dad would be so happy.

“What do you have to show for it? Ruined clothes that I fuckin paid for?!” He was drunk, he must not have noticed the fact that this was JJ’s shirt.

“I um I have money. You can have it,” you say, shuffling around in your pockets.

A glint shines in his eyes.

You continue to look, and then it hits you like a ton of bricks, your money was in the pocket of your shorts, the ones JJ was wearing.

—

You snapped awake to pounding on your door. Okay, it wasn’t pounding. It was very gentle. Too gentle.

You forced yourself up from the couch, pushing against it with your arm, not too fast or you would get a head rush and see black in your vision.

You moved towards the direction of the door and opened it messily.

You didn’t show your face, only opened it a crack, you were smarter than that, and besides, your face was bruised.

“Hi...um Miss? I’m just here becuase I heard some noises going on in here last night. It sounded like someone was hurt? Would you like me to call the police-“ the lady was older, but not elderly, she was your neighbor you recognized.

“No! Um don’t worry. My brother and I were just arguing, he was mad I started dating his friend. Crazy right? Anyway I really should get going, I have work today, a new job actually,” you explained, making sure that details add to lies, make them more believable.

“Ohh alrighty then,”

“Thankyou for stopping by,” you reply cheerfully, before nearly collapsing when she left.

Damn that took energy, I need food.

You knew better than to waste time looking through the kitchen, there would be nothing.

So you put on some makeup and rode your bike to the Wreak. Your first day at work.

After you finished, Kie (and her father) rewarded you and the pogues with free food.

JJ locked eyes with you from across the table.

“Y/n, when I was changing out of your clothes yesterday...this fell out,” he pulls your 2 $100 bills from Topper.

You felt nervous, but as always you were ready for a coverup.

“Shitt,”

“Don’t worry Kie, dinners on Y/n,” Pope smiles, Kie slaps him.

“That’s my paycheck, from work, it’s my one week earnings,” you explain.

“Wait really? That’s nothing, if you add it up per hour-“

“No, stop stop, its too early for that,” JJ cuts Pope off, its true, you didn’t want to be exposed by Popes nerd calculations.

“But the country club pays in checks, you get a certificate and everything,” Kie adds.

“Where did you get that money then? Because-“

“Guys! Chill, I would offer it to you to shut you up but I already promised my dad. And besides, it’s not like I did anything bad for the money, just forget about it,” you plead.

They soon drop it.

—

“What the fuck?”

“Are you fucking serious, John B?” Kie agrees.

“Look! I like her, but we’re NOT macking,” John B declares.

“He’s totally macking Sarah Cameron,” JJ mutters to Pope.

“Dude! She’s a kook! What about Pogue life, bro?”

“Yeah plus she’s also a spoiled bitch who can’t be apart of any team, let alone this one,” Kie adds.

“Kie I get why you hate her, but Y/n? I thought you would give her a chance?” John B asks, you gulp down. The Cameron’s always seemed to find a way to make you kneel before them.

“Okay, she’s coming here-“

“Fucking shit,” you mutter.

“-Just to meet you guys! Please give her a chance. She’s not like Topper and-,”

“She’s not like them, she’s dating them,”

“She’s gonna break up with him,”

“Oh wow,”

“Shut up! Just shut up!” John B orders, he hears something rustling in the bushes.

“Hi guys,” Sarah Cameron greets us.

Kie and Sarah get in a fight, I’ve never heard anyone call Kie a ‘shit taking bitch’ before. The boys were all fine with her, but still remained on yours and Kie’s side if you decided to hate her again.

Sarah asked you to talk with her, alone. You wanted to ask JJ to come with, but you didn’t know exactly where you stood.

“So..um...I’m not judging you or anything, but what’s going on with you and my dad? And it could be nothing, but I saw him, he talked to you like you were his daughter,” Sarah begins.

“Sarah, I promise, I was just talking to him. I don’t need any more older men in my life, trust me,”

“But then what about Topper? Why were you guys alone for that time at the beach, and why was he offering you hush money?”

“How did you know it was hush money?” You asked.

“I know my boyfriend,” Sarah says.

“Sarah? Can you please break up with him. I mean you can’t do that to him, and to John B,”

“You’re right,”

it’s the episode 8 review!!! how many episodes is this show supposed to even be?

the stages from the episode feel like such a grab bag.... i still don’t understand why they didn’t put all the skill stages together, and then did the normal two episodes of the third round. i guess it makes sense that they didn’t want to have six stages in one episode and then three in the other two, but eh.

feeling kinda average on these as a whole, there’s a lot of good elements going on here but probably because of my own preferences (i don’t listen to ballads or blackpink) none of them really hit all the buttons. hopefully this will be a shorter review because i'm only going to do a quick rundown of the vocal stages; i dont really have that much to say about them because they are (intentionally) not very stage picture focused. i'll do the normal stage breakdowns for the other two though, even though i won’t rank them because we still need to see the other four!

vocal stages

sf9 + tbz + ikon

not much to say here other than wow, that’s RED. glad to see some more specific use of spotlighting and i always love when they light things on fire. i do wish they had fill lit with a brighter amber so we could actually get a bit more detail on their faces, especially because there’s six of them. i appreciated the simple blocking and only using one of the ‘stages,’ this stage didn’t need to be anything complicated and it wasn’t. i don’t love spinning camera shots because they make me a bit ill, and i'll forgive the constant cutting because it's a vocal stage and there isn’t any other real movement that we should be paying attention to. not my favourite of the two, i found it visually a bit too repetitive and complex at the same time. always love a crushed velvet suit though, so bonus points for that.

atz + skz + btob

i was braced for the worst and i dont know what kind of miracle happened but it was listenable! like i said, not a ballad fan but i could listen to eunkwang all day. i love a good plinth for a ballad stage, they’re one of my favourite devices in kpop design and i especially love it with a good groundlevel fog. glad they kept it black and white for the first half of the stage, it was in line with the blooming flower projections, and it made a very clear colour arc. they kept the visuals clean and simple with very little blocking at all, a very smart choice for this stage. not sure why they decided it would be the chanel time stage, which i disapprove of because i don’t like chanel, but i do love eunkwang’s shirt with the cameo buttons and the massive turnback cuffs, very 17th and also 19th century. i know they never do it because they dont read on stage normally but yes absolutely more thin chain pendant chokers on men, thank you! i also liked that there was emphasis on a more traditional lighting scheme, there weren't any crazy concert effects, just some good directional beam spotlights and the rear stacks in the climax.

third round stages

ikon

costume

the first look for them is definitely my fabourite of theirs so far. there’s enough variation in the jackets that the base layer of tshirt and jeans don’t look too repetitive. and i do love a good statement jacket. my favourite is probably donghyuk’s because i'm a sucker for fringe always.

i don’t like the backup dancers costumes, but given the way i’ve reacted to every other all black outfit for this entire show i don’t think anyone was surprised about that. these ones particularly irk me because they’re very matte; there's pretty much no texture or pattern differentials to define the shape of the limb, which makes them disappear when theyre all grouped together (mostly on the women). i think they probably were intending to make a statement/emphasis on the hands because of the sleeve cutoff point, but there were so many arm movements that were just totally missed because the costumes were just black voids. most egregious parts are here, with the female dancers up center. i can barely tell what the movements are unless i’m paying specific attention to them because there's so many black shapes. maybe it was the point for it to be an indiscernable writhing mass, but it wasn’t my vibe.

don’t love this styling on lisa. i hate peeptoe shoes in general but peeptoe boots are the worst offenders. they make you look like you have duck feet, no matter who you are. especially with a flat cutout like that. a universally unflattering shoe, and i would know, i worked in a shoe store for two years. this whole look is just pg-13 rihanna cfda awards 2014 and really nobody should try to run up against rihanna.

also i have to mention this because it’s actually really bothering me, but lisa’s backup dancers are serving very allgemeine ss looks and i do not like it. generally when we see ‘military’ uniforms in kpop theyre usually modelled off older styles (pre wwii) of western uniforms that usually aren’t in circulation, and they’re usually non-matching and embellished in ways that are deliberately not military. i know logically that it's a budget constraint+they’re backup dancers+current trend thing but the clean lines with only button detailing and the all black and that specific harness shape? it hit my brain the wrong way. i mean, technically those uniforms are designer because hugo boss did them, but the uh..... girlboss move didn’t land for me.

this is my PERSONAL OPINION please for the love of all that is holy do not come yelling at me about this. it’s all under a cut, you chose to read the post.

set

very glad to see some busy kitschy sets! this is a massive build, since there’s essentially three full sets here: the temple, the jungle, and the first tiny room. and all of them are very heavily decorated.

the starting room is just five walls on casters (wheels), that have been set into place with the cameraman and ikon inside at the start, and then once they exit the walls can be easily struck and rolled off set. simple, smart, and convenient!

i missed it the first couple times around but glitching out the projections in the temple for a split second was a neat little trick.

the silver and polygonal nature of the tiger/panther/cat(?) head is a bit disconnected from the gold and the aesthetic of the rest of the stage for me. the difference between the original room set and the jungle tracks, but the cat head isnt able to make the same leap for me. i'm also not a fan of mixing metals so maybe that’s why.

the tiger/panther/cat(?) head is a fun physical transitional device; i'm a big fan of tunnels and small transitory spaces like that and if they’re well dressed like this one they do so much for establishing place and mood.

i'm very sure i’ve seen this style of polygonal animal head with laser eyes before....i cannot for the life of me remember where or for what. i know wang yibo did a panther stage for sdc3 that had a human formation panther with green laser eyes, i wonder if i'm just crossing wires.

OH nevermind it’s because it looks like the witcher medallion. wires were definitely crossed.

lighting

using purple/teal lighting for the jungle was a smart choice because purple is the direct compliment to the gold and also is much more flattering on humans than green. green is one of the colours that humans can see the most variations in, so when something is green when it's not supposed to be (like human skin), we register that very quickly and associate it with unease and sickness. you know how old fluorescent lights have that greenish tinge that kinda makes you feel ill? it's your cone cells and your brain recognizing that you’re looking at things that are not supposed to be green.

very clean colour arc, i love to see it.

sound

it’s.....fine? i don’t listen to blackpink and have no opinions on their music other than it's not my type. i dont really know what the thematic connection to the visuals is, which is not strictly necessary in a lot of cases, but i don’t particularly care for the conflation of ‘savage’ and a (presumably) precolonial religion that’s assembled from stereotypes of real colonized cultures. you can come at me about how ‘it's not that deep’ all you want but i am here specifically doing an in depth analysis, and i gotta point it out. i'm not here to pass judgement on you if you didn’t realize or don’t care or whatever, i'm just saying that it's important to consume content with a critical eye. what you do with that information is your own personal choice, but you should be aware of it at least.

staging

they took a big risk eating popcorn right before singing, and we definitely got some residual mouth noises of them trying to clean out their teeth. eating on stage is difficult in general because you have to make sure it's not going to dry out the performers mouths, because they dont have access to water and it takes WAY longer to chew and swallow something than you would expect. there’s a LOT of testing that goes into making stage food and guaranteed it’s not made out of what it looks like or what its supposed to be; i worked on a production of amadeus were we did literal weeks of testing amalgams of different desserts to make sure that salieri could actually eat the ones onstage without totally drying him out, because fun fact about that show, salieri doesnt leave stage like, at all, so there was no way to get him water. poor bloke.

i thought the blocking of this was really smart. the long take from the ‘normal’ room and transition into the jungle was super slick, even if that weird circle the camera did while pointed up at the ceiling was unnecessary and pointless.

bobby’s ‘acting’ was extremely funny and that’s the only way people are allowed to act surprised now. edvard munsch scream style only.

the pacing is a bit off and this time it wasn’t mnet’s editing that fucked it up. as fun as it is to have a feature, clearly she wasn’t allowed within proximity of the rest of them for covid or other yg related reasons, but it made for some extremely long transitions, especially the one out of her verse. it kills the momentum of the stage in that beat, even though they manage to pick it up after.

this is a very simple little narrative arc that’s easy to follow and doesn’t require any extra explaining. which is exactly the kind of arc that groups should be doing at this stage in the game. this is a good formic step up for ikon!

i thought the turning off of the monitor at the end was fun and a good callback to them watching the videos at the beginning of the stage. a nice clean way to make it circular.

skz

costume

FINALLY something different on the skz boys! these were mostly fun eboy looks for them, and i like it on the basis that it's not the same as the last set of costumes.

bang chan out there with his thigh OUT and a (fake) bridge piercing? LOVE to see it. great work.

(copy-paste every thing i’ve said about backup dancers wearing all black)

the backup dancers that were dressed as bystanders/extras were great! they should have kept that with all of them because it would have given a little more shape to the choreography and establishing what function the backup dancers were supposed to have.

set

that is meant to be a giant rice cooker on stage, right? i think so because it's a god’s menu mashup? if that's not a rice cooker i have NO idea what its supposed to be

there’s only two large setpieces here, which was a smart way to go. i LOVE the subway car doubling as the truck, even if the truck itself makes no narrative sense. what a fun way to double the use of a single big piece. you’ll be able to see the way it moves in the full cam but it splits down the centre and there entrance doors at the back with attached stairs that bang chan and the dancers use to climb up.

lighting

not a whole lot happening here. i like the cool white leds in the subway car and the contrast with the more warm tones of the outside, which is good atmospheric establishment, but i can't discern a visible arc.

not a fan of these projections; they’re in line with what we’ve seen from skz so far, which is: extremely literal. i dont think they’re that distracting, but they’re not to my personal taste. they really should have kept the comic panel theme that they did for changbin’s first verse, because that was inventive and fun to watch! and a great atmospheric indicator! i would love to see a bit more experimental projection use but it's hard when they don’t have a lot of time to build these stages and the lighting team is definitely working remotely.

sound

i love that they made the choice to do some actual talking, it’s a good gimmick and it works for the deadpool/comic book/fourth wall break theme, but australian accents take me the fuck out i am so sorry i cannot listen to either felix or bang chan speak english without laughing uncontrollably.

i don’t like this arrangement but i'm not surprised about that, given my predilections. i'm also tired of skz shouting STRAY KIDS in every performance they do. i know on music shows it's probably more relevant and yea producers tags are a thing but we’ve been watching this show for nearly two months at this point. we know who you are, you can stop yelling. be more creative with it!

staging

my biggest issue with this stage is that it doesn’t have a payoff. there is an arc here: they’re stealing the truck, but why are they stealing the truck? who are they stealing it from? who are they fighting against? it's kind of important in a stage where the theme is stealing and fighting someone that you tell us who that is. in both of ateez’s previous stages were they were both stealing (rhythm ta) and fighting (wonderland), they made sure to show us who the villain was. there needs to be tension for a big blowup climax to actually pay off. whether it be against a a balloon arm kraken or a fascist government. this stage could have reached that next step if they’d just done a little bit more exposition.

there were a lot of fun choreo moments here, and this is probably my favourite choreo of theirs so far. i thought the whole first bit in the subway car was excellent and a very fun play on those viral videos that we used to see roll around every so often of dancers doing routines in subway cars.

did it need the guns? not in the slightest. more on this point later. i could talk more about weapons and weight here, but i’ve done that several times already.

like with the tbz game of thrones stages, theyre relying a little too much on the audience's preconceptions of the source material in order to carry the theme. the guns are there because deadpool likes guns, but they don’t actually use the guns for anything? the most we get of the stealing segment is felix and the safe, which admittedly is a great bit with him leaping over and under the ‘laser’ lines (theyre likely led strips). because comic books are by nature procedural and deeply tied to narrative, it's unsatisfying when there’s no tension and no payoff.

HOW did we manage to get two stages that are blackpink covers with remote/tv static gimmick and durags? i know the slot machine of kpop tropes is not very big but surely the probability of hitting triple sevens on this one was pretty low. i’m pretty meh on both of these stages overall. skz was unsatisfying but i loved the choreo in the subway bit so that bumped it up a little ahead of ikon’s in my personal preferences, but i'm reserving my actual rankings for next week. assuming we get the other four stages next week and they dont do something stupid and only show two. which they very well might. i’ve stopped trying to understand why mnet does things the way that they do.

as always the ask box is open, drop your comments/questions/personal opinions, i love to hear ‘em! but don’t be rude just because some of this is touchier subject material.

#kingdom #ateez #btob #ikon #sf9 #the boyz #stray kids #military uniforms are a weird one and i always find it a bit....(squiggly face emoji) when they get used in kpop stages #everybody is one of the exceptions because its used as a direct critique #but this is a very personal opinion as someone who has done a lot of historical research on military uniforms in particular #so im hyperaware of that kind of thing #be cool about this one people please and thank you!#im so glad this came in under 3k #kingdom review #kpop analysis #text #ive had to write a lot of deeply critical art practice analysis in the last week and i would like to sleep
