#sorry for insulting them it's hard not to

i havent actually tried writing anything for this yet, i dont normally write characters younger than how old they are in canon but i can give it a shot
"My father said we shouldn't do this anymore," says Felix, holding the door open with a foot. "Maybe some other time?"
"You're just scared," Chloe tells him, pushing him in.
"My aunt doesn't like it either," he tries. "I don't want to insult her by lying to her again."
He hopes that one works, that he hasn't misjudged the relationship between Emilie and Chloe. Chloe's hard to talk to, bossy and burning behind the eyes, but his father wants them to get along, so he can't snap, can't refuse without an excuse, can't just walk away.
Still, he can't tell her that he's not scared. That he's stuck.
"You're lying," she says. "She told me it was funny. Besides, she can always tell you and Adrikins apart."
"I can't do this. I'm sorry, Chloe."
"But you always swap! You said you would!"
Adrien takes the door from him and locks it. He grips the handle against the banging on the other side.
"I hope she's not too disappointed."
"She'll be alright," says Felix, sitting on the bed. "What about you?"
"I get it. I can't disobey my father either."
"But you lost your chance to escape the city! You could have gotten away from your work for a bit. Maybe we could have pulled it off for good this time-- you could have run away once you got to London, and gone to school. You could have been a normal kid."
Adrien kicks his clothes across the floor. "Thanks."
"You shouldn't do that," he blurts. "You'll get them dirty."
Knock some sense into your cousin, won't you? Gabriel doesn't keep a tight enough leash on him.
Adrien glares at him. Felix tries to apologise, but his mouth won't open. He chokes on the word invisibly.
"Why didn't you visit last year?" asks Adrien.
"Father said we couldn't. I wanted to come."
"I hate him."
"Don't say that." Felix's fingers twitch. "He's your uncle."
Adrien groans, and flops down beside him.
"Chloe says you're worse than me about rules."
"Our parents just have a lot of expectations," says Felix. "She has too much freedom."
"She's our friend."
"She's your friend."
"But she's right. I love my father and my mum, but I wish they let me do things."
Knock some sense into your cousin.
Felix sees blood on his hands and flinches from it.
"Please don't say that."
"You know what I mean. You wanted to help me, you said you wanted to help me."
"I have to go."
Knock some sense.
"Felix, wait, you just got here--"
He unlocks the door.
"I don't want to wait another year to see you," Adrien tells him. "I'm sorry, I-"
He pushes past Chloe, who yells at him faster than he can catch. The corridors blur as he walks. He strides out the front door and is caught by a heavy hand on his shoulder.
He stops.
"It's time to go."
He exhales. There are twenty-one windows on Chloe's hotel that he can see from here. Nobody looks through them.
"Yes, Father."
"Did you enjoy seeing your cousin?"
"Yes, Father."
He sits in the car and stares forward, hands in his lap. He doesn't blink.
i think everyone saying 'felix hasnt been himself since his father died' when we first meet him is devastating
'hasnt been himself' he finally is himself, is his own. he isnt recognisable as the felix you knew, the felix his father could control?
how many orders had he given him?

Can i request a fred weasley with maybe a reader from black family that doesn’t really like christmas? thank u so much!! (they’re not relatives and kinda in a relationship)
Weasley Warmth Delivery
a.n! thanks for requesting and sorry if this took me this long, but to be honest i still feel into christmas mood. i tried this new ‘format’ of exchanging letters! mention of my previous work
Dear y/n,
Well, look at that—a letter from Black. To what do I owe this honor? Boredom finally driving you mad in that haunted house of yours? Don’t worry, love, I’ve been expecting it.
Grimmauld Place isn’t exactly the Ministry of Fun, is it? And without me around to liven up the place, well, I’m amazed you lasted this long before reaching out.
First, let me set the scene for you here at the Burrow: total chaos, as usual. Mum’s been running around like a bludger on a sugar high, barking orders about decorating and cleaning things that were perfectly fine before she started. Ginny keeps nicking the fairy lights off the tree to “improve” her room (I think she’s trying to charm them to spell out something rude for Ron), and Percy’s been giving us all his patented look of disapproval. Honestly, I think he was born with that expression.
George and I, naturally, have been hard at work testing a few of our newest products. Let’s just say the garden gnomes had a very eventful morning and leave it at that.
But, enough about the Burrow, it’s too normal compared to what I’m imagining for you. I bet Grimmauld Place is a real barrel of laughs this time of year. Bet you’ve got Kreacher croaking out festive insults like, “Filthy blood traitor scum don’t deserve gingerbread.” Or maybe you’ve charmed those gloomy curtains shut tight so you don’t have to look at your delightful family tree. Is my name still scorched off that thing, by the way? If not, I’ll send George over to fix that. It’s our legacy, after all.
I wish I could say I don’t worry about you being there all by yourself, but you know me—I don’t do lying very well. (Or at all, according to mum. But then again, she doesn’t always appreciate my particular brand of honesty.) You’ve got that whole independent, “I don’t need anyone’s help” thing going on, and I get it. I do. But I can’t help wishing you’d pop over to the Burrow for Christmas. Mum would adore you, I promise. Well, she’d probably scold you for being “too thin” first, but that’s just part of the package deal. Once she’s fed you a month’s worth of food in two days, she’ll be absolutely besotted.
And before you go claiming I’m trying to recruit you to our family, let me clarify: yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing. Because family doesn’t have to be the lot you were born with.
You’ve got us now, whether you like it or not.
Now, enough of this sappy nonsense. You’ll start thinking I’m losing my edge. Let’s talk about important things—like me. Did I mention George and I managed to sneak a prototype of our newest invention past Mum? It’s called the “Crackling Cauldron Cake,” and it’s exactly as dangerous as it sounds. You bite into it, and it pops like a small Firework Charm in your mouth. George claims it’s “too risky for mass production,” but I say he’s lost his Gryffindor nerve. (He was almost a Hufflepuff, you know. Don’t tell him I told you that.)
Oh, and speaking of risky ventures—have you heard from the “adorable” bunch at Hogwarts? Lee says everyone’s still whispering about us switching ties that morning. Apparently, there’s now a theory that we were secretly meeting in the Forbidden Forest for mysterious reasons. Honestly, they’re creative. I’ll give them that. Maybe we should encourage the rumors. Keep them on their toes, you know?
Alright, I should wrap this up before the owl starts biting me again. (Did you train this thing to attack, or is that just a natural Black family trait?) But seriously, don’t be a stranger. Owl me again, even if it’s just to complain about how miserable it is without me around. I’ll write back—promise. And if you’re feeling really brave, you’re always welcome here. I’ll even let you beat me at Wizard’s Chess again, just to keep things festive.
Take care of yourself, alright? And if Grimmauld Place starts feeling too cold, just think of this letter as a little Weasley warmth delivered right to your doorstep.
Yours (because I’ve decided you’re mine to pester now),
Fred
P.S. If you don’t write back soon, I’m sending George over to prank your front door. You’ve been warned ;)

«Heart On The Window» Cho Hyun-ju x Male!Reader Part 2?
Cho Hyun-ju x Male reader!
Summary: Y/N has always had a crush on her neighbor across the street, Hyun-ju. He has never had the courage to speak a word to her. Until one day they meet again in the most unexpected place.
*Warnings: mentions blood, insults, blows, self-disdain, etc.*
«English is not my first language and I'm sorry if I get some words wrong» 😔🤍
Y/n was at home when she suddenly heard a loud knock on the door.
Curious, him went to open it and found herself face to face with three burly, intimidating-looking men.
Before he could react, they entered her house with large steps and one of them grabbed her arm tightly.
"Hey!" he said surprised and didn't know what was happening at that moment.Only that he received a strong blow to the stomach and fell to the ground hard.
The men came even closer to him and began to intimidate him with harsh words."Where is that bastard Kim? He must pay that rat's debt..."
The one who seemed to be the leader of the group came even closer and kicked the side of his face.
And at that moment Y/N felt her face burn with pain.
Y/N let out a moan of pain and business. "N-no..I don't know where he is. He left here a long time ago, I don't know where he is.."
Exclaimed in pain as he tried to compose himself.
The men sneered as they watched him.
"Oh well, but if he's not there someone else will have to foot the bill for him, right guys?." The eldest said with a smirk and the other men laughed with him as they nodded.
Y/N looked at them scared.
"I don't have money to pay that debt..."
He confessed scared but was interrupted by another blow that this time was towards his stomach. He let out a loud moan of pain, while he felt his body burning.
Y/n felt something hot and liquid dripping down her body at that moment.
Him coughed as she spat out some of that famous crimson liquid and tried to get up but received a kick and fell back to the ground.
The leader of the group crouched down in front of him and grabbed by the hair tightly.
"Listen to me carefully...if you don't pay in the agreed time you will suffer severe consequences."
Then, one of his companions kicked him again in the stomach, making him gasp in pain.
The leader let go and stepped back, giving a menacing look. "We don't have time for your excuses..."
Him pointed towards the door.
"You have two months, or we will come for you again, and believe me..."
He looked at the other men and looked cruel.
"Next time, I won't be so nice boy, okay?" The other men laughed cruelly.
The men walked away a few steps, taking a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lighting one."So... understood?" He asked with an air of superiority.
The smoke from the cigarette rose through the air, impregnating the smell of tobacco in the room. He took a card from his jacket to throw it on the floor.
"When you have my money, call this number, so I'll come for it."
The older man determined and gave him one last look.
"And don't even think about escaping like your bastard father did. I'm going to find you if you escape." he exclaimed seriously and pointed at Y/N.
The leader took a long drag on his cigarette and remained silent for a few seconds, his eyes fixed on Y/n.
Then he turned around and headed towards the door with firm steps.
Before leaving, the leader turned his head back and spoke sharply, "Remember the deadline. Don't fail us."
The other men's followed him, slamming the door shut, leaving Y/n on the floor, in pain and trying to recover from the brutal beating he had received.
The silence and the smell of tobacco still filled the room uncomfortably, as he tried to come to terms with what had just happened.
He lay on the ground, the pain still present in his body, his mind filled with questions and worries about how him would face the future.
How was he going to get the money to pay off the debt in such a short time? And what would happen if he couldn't get the money together?.
Stood up and dragged himself into the bathroom. I turned on the faucet, let the water run and he began to wash himself, complaining about the pain in his face, then he raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror looking miserable.
As the cold water ran down his face, Y/n felt overwhelmed by the situation him was in.
The marks on her skin were beginning to take shape and the pain was still present. The reflection in the mirror showed a battered and troubled person...
He stayed silent for a few minutes, trying to recover for the moment and finished cleaning his face. Until the sound of a light knock on his door interrupted his thoughts.
Without further ado, he tried to clean himself as quickly as he could and gathered strength in his body to stay standing.
As he walked towards the door, he stopped for a second, whether it was those men again or someone new who because of his father, would have to pay yet another debt.
Thousands and thousands of thoughts came to his head at that moment.
Him stood still for a few seconds, trying to compose herself and recover from the emotional impact. The sound of the knocks rang out again, making Y/n's heart beat faster.
Y/N reached his trembling hand towards the doorknob and opened the door. His eyes widened in surprise at who it was.
"Hyun-ju?..." He said in a sigh the name of the woman was in love with.
Hyun-ju stood in the doorway, facing Y/n. His eyes widened as he saw the state she was in. His gaze filled with concern and surprise ran over her face, observing the marks of the beating that were still present.
"Y/n, my go... What happened to you?.." She asked tenderly, his voice full of concern.
She noticed the bumps and how his face reflected the pain he was feeling. Her took a step inside the apartment with the intention of approaching him.
"Hyun-ju..." He exclaimed and wanted to cover his face to prevent her from seeing him in that state.
Y/N felt embarrassed that she saw him like that, after all this time trying to get his attention and seeing him in this state made him feel bad.
"Let me see, let me see you." She said in a soft, concerned tone.
She took a few steps closer to him, not taking her eyes off his wounds. She wanted to try to understand how he ended up like this, but she also wanted to check that he was okay.
The concern reflected in her eyes was unmistakable as she tried to get closer to check him out.
When he felt Hyun-ju's hands on his face, he couldn't help but feel the softness of her skin. He felt like he was in a dream and didn't want to wake up.
Maybe the beating made him faint and he was having this nice dream.
But he held back and snapped out of his trance.
"This? It's nothing, I just fell while I was working." Y/N quickly apologized.
She knew it was a silly excuse but couldn't think of anything else to say. Hyun-ju faked a giggle but her body hurt but if she was in front of Hyun-ju, the pain didn't matter.
"We have to clean this up or it's going to get infected" she exclaimed worriedly. Without stopping to check on me, she pulled Y/N's hand to enter her apartment.
"Where's the first aid kit?."
"Hey Hyun-ju, I'm fine, you don't have to..." wanted to tell him.
"No, you have to, these bumps don't seem like a big deal at first but if you don't treat them well they get worse."
Hyun-ju cut her words off and Y/N fell silent.
"I have it in my bathroom, I'll go get it " he said but she refused and offered to go get it.
Y/N accepted and then Hyun-ju came back with a small box of first aid supplies. She forced him to sit down and began to treat his wounds carefully.
Y/N couldn't help but look at her, every action and how her hands moved carefully cleaning every wound. Just feeling her close to him and admiring her beautiful face was a great gift for he.
“You’re doing great. I appreciate it, Hyun-ju…” Y/N thanked him with a sweet smile.
Hyun-ju, hearing that, looked at him and couldn’t help but smile the same way. Y/N’s smile was contagious.
“You’re welcome, Y/N. As neighbors we help each other, right?” She repeated Y/N’s phrase with amusement. Him couldn’t help but let out a small giggle as he nodded.
“You’re right.”
The two stayed in a comfortable silence as Hyun-ju finished healing the wounds and Y/N looked at her again.
"Do you want to stay for dinner?." He asked out of nowhere.
Him didn't know how or where that courage had come from but he said it, at least it was a start to getting to know the beautiful Cho Hyun-ju.
Who had captivated his attention that day he moved into the building.
Hyun-ju stopped paying attention to the wounds just as Y/n asked that question, her gaze fixed on him. A small blush covered her cheeks at that unexpected invitation.
Her heart was beating strongly in her chest at the moment he asked her the question, a small feeling of nerves forming in her stomach as she listened to him.
She hesitated for a moment.
Stay for dinner? Was it just kindness or something more? She stayed silent for a few seconds, her gaze full of questions but finally she answered:
"I would love to." She said with a soft shyness as her eyes flashed, smiling slightly and lowering her gaze.
Hearing that, Y/N couldn't help but smile big and internally began to celebrate that she had accepted.
"Great, would you like to eat something specific? I don't mean to brag, but I'm a good cook." He joked and the shyness was fading away at that moment.
Hyun-ju laughed softly at his joke and felt a little more comfortable at that moment.
The tension seemed to dissipate with every word and gesture.
His eyes sparkled as he joked around with a proud smile. “I guess I’ll have to try it out to see if you’re as good as you say you are.”
She said with a playful tone, a slight mischief in his gaze as he responded with a smile. Hyun-ju was really intrigued to see how he would cook.
“Oh, believe me, you’ll love it,” he replied kindly as he laughed and couldn’t help but admire Hyun-ju.
His eyes sparkled brightly when he saw her again.
The tension in the air completely dissipated, replaced by a clear connection between them as they chatted and joked.
Hyun-ju's gaze remained fixed on Y/n, unable to help but admire her presence and gestures.
The moment was comfortable and the atmosphere felt electric, but the excitement of the encounter gave them an addictive feeling.
Hyun-ju couldn't help but look at Y/N and know that he was a good man. Although his insecurities were in his head.
She tried to ignore it. Because seeing Y/N treat her so gently made his heart skip. It felt unreal to see someone treat her the way Y/N did from the first moment, accepting her for who she really was.
Little by little he was getting into her skin without realizing it...
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Y/N opened her eyes in surprise when she saw someone familiar in that place.
She couldn't believe it.
“Hyun-ju?...” he said her name.She looked at him the same way.
They both couldn't believe they were in the same place.
“Y/N… what are you doing here?”.
She exclaimed worried and surprised to find him there.
They were going to have a long conversation.

opened tiktok (mistake number one, i know) and immediately saw someone saying that Thomas Hutter subverts the "disbelieving husband" trope which... listen i love a thoroughly pathetic mess of a man myself and i get that Ellen's other option is a 400yo evil corpse, but can we please not give him credit for things he didn't do?..
the literal inciting incident of the story is that Thomas DOESN'T listen to Ellen. he doesn't believe her. she tells him that she's got a bad feeling about this trip, begs him not to go, tells him about her nightmare - and what does he do? he calls it a childish fantasy, tells her to stop worrying, and implies that she would benefit from talking to a doctor. saying shit softly doesn't make it any less dismissive or insulting, like i'm sorry but this is peak Disbelieving Husband in a Horror Movie behaviour. he only changed his mind once Orlok put him through the horrors himself, which is also a perfectly standard thing for a Disbelieving Husband to do in the second act. furthermore, from the beginning of the film, he neglects Ellen's emotional needs, is uncomfortable with her abnormalities, and doesn't even really know what sort of gifts she likes - and again, these are all standard flaws for a Disbelieving Husband to exhibit. they're indicative of a disconnect between him and his wife that he continuously refuses to bridge.
caring for someone doesn't mean you can't neglect or harm them, and that applies to everyone - including Normal People like Thomas, like Harding, like Sievers, like the viewer; and that's the point of the film
#nosferatu#nosferatu (2024)#ellen hutter#thomas hutter#the thing is i LIKE thomas as a character#he is sympathetic and fun to dissect and i kinda wanna put him in a jar and shake him#but also he HAS FLAWS. MANY OF THEM. that's what makes him a well-rounded character in the first place#much of the suffering ellen endures throughout the film is a result of socially acceptable mundane forms of violence (e.g. medical)#and thomas contributes to her suffering!! despite his best intentions!!!#but many many people are uncomfortable with the idea that someone who looks and seems so soft and normal and Safe could cause pain#because that invites a deeper sort of self-reflection and perhaps even accountability#nonono. much easier to blame all the violence that ever happens on a Monster from Somewhere Else#and a soft-spoken normal human guy is not a monster right?? look how hardworking he is how could he ever cause her any pain???#let's go on a big witch hunt and destroy this inhuman freak!!! so nobody will be ever harmed again because We're Normal and Safe#and when the freaks are gone then the poor people brainwashed and groomed by these freaks will become normal again <3#lol can you tell i am an autistic transgender immigrant from these tags#anyway thomas hutter is reaping what jonathan harker sowed. and he doesn't deserve the credit

this is prob silly but i appreciate you being so candid about not interacting with much media (like film/tv/pop culture stuff). it's kind of hard to be on tumblr or really even exist if you're not able to interact with media but it's a big trigger for me so i just... can't. like, i've never had anyone understand that it's not a choice i'm making to be special/different/lazy i just have extreme and unhealthly reactions to most media, except some books and comics. which idk if that's how it is for you (its not my business or anything) but i've never felt seen/represented about it before so im thankful, yk?
i appreciate you for sending this! i don't find it silly at all
i think it's very good for you to acknowledge that you have an unhealthy relationship with most forms of media. i'm sorry that you're going through this, but consuming media is not a requirement nor is it something that you genuinely need for your mental health, so it's okay that that's how you feel. i appreciate this because it gives me a chance to talk about something that is important to me, but people struggle to understand why that is
my parents used to make fun of whatever i was watching or playing as a kid over my shoulder. i used to get relentlessly mocked every time i put on a show i liked or played a game in front of either of them. it caused me to have severe trauma for years where i couldn't watch or play anything around other people at all. i still don't like when people ask me to put on things that i do like for a big group. the stress i feel when other people don't enjoy it is not worth it. i'm still very uncomfortable doing this to this day
i've felt pretty alienated all my life due to this. it seems like now more than ever, media, especially fictional media, is so important to general modern culture that it creates a barrier between people who do and don't engage. and it's not like it's a passive thing, i have people get offended at me when i say i haven't seen a movie or TV show. not talking about anyone on here, or any anons i've answered about media! people have been kind and respectful here. but in my real life and in conversations with other people, i have genuinely been mocked or insulted because i don't engage with most television, movies, books and comics.
i've had people question my autism over this. when i've told people in the past that i do not engage with pop culture, fictional media and so on, i've had people actually say "but i thought you were autistic????" like it's genuinely frustrating that it seems like people have shifted to thinking that autistic people's special interests are always cartoons, games and TV shows. it worries me because at times it feels like people are turning the common definition of autism into Media Consumption Disorder. my special interests are queer history & culture, animals & nature, and medicine & psychology. i genuinely enjoy research, it's something i happily do for hours because it stimulates my brain and motivates me. it excites me just as much as i think fiction excites people who can enjoy it. it's more than okay for autistic people to have a piece of media as their special interest, i'm not saying that its not! but it frightens me that people seem to conflate "autistic" with "loves fictional media".
due to my DID, i can't remember plots. like at all. plots confuse the ever loving hell out of me because i can't keep track of what's going on. real life doesn't have a plot. science doesn't have a plot. i don't know if fully understand the point of a plot, honestly. expecting people to be able to remember such an absurd amount of information in order to figure out something that happens down the road or at the very end feels like a herculean task to me. i can't remember what happened to me 10 minutes ago, there's no way i'm remembering a tiny event that happened hours and hours and hours ago. scripted interactions feel so stiff and unnatural to me
people tell me i'm saying i don't know what they're talking about to "be an asshole". i used to have a best friend who got really into dungeons&dragons and it traumatized me for years because i got into at first, then quickly lost interest once i realized how boring actually playing the game is for me. my friend did NOT take it well. he continued to force me to play. if i would ask him to please change the conversation topic he would start insulting and berating me and telling me that i was pretending to not be interested anymore to be mean to him. he couldn't understand that i grew out of it. he never got any better with this, as he was obsessed with marvel films and would get super pissed off if i told him i had no interest or didn't know what to say to him. it was frustrating because i didn't have a choice whether or not i could like something. it was "if you don't like this, you're an asshole."
and it's not just him that's treated me that way. it's been most of my friends. for whatever reason, when you tell the average person that you haven't seen, or god forbid don't like a piece of media, they take it personally for... some reason. as if i said "no i don't watch that because that's bad" as opposed to what i actually say is "i don't know what that is" or "i haven't seen that". you would not believe how insecure people get when you tell them you don't like a piece of media they like. i'm not sure why people feel like their favorite media is an extension of themselves, but it's an unhealthy relationship. it's not healthy to get offended if your friend tells you they haven't seen a piece of media that you have.
i have aphantasia, which is the inability to picture things in my head. i don't get "sucked into" media like people with clearer mind's eyes do. i don't picture anything cool or epic or fun happening in my head because i can't. as a result, i don't get pulled into shows, i don't get invested in tabletop games, i don't really get that affected by the media that i watch because i am painfully aware that i'm staring at a pre-recorded and scripted show the entire time. i'm painfully aware that i'm staring at an actor in a costume i just cannot get immersed in most forms of media save for very rare video games but even then, i immediately stop thinking about it the second i'm done interacting with it
i just don't listen to music and that one baffles people as i'm punk. most music is just straight up overstimulating to me due to my autism. i'm not saying that music is bad, it just overstimulates the everloving hell out of me. most of the time it just hurts my ears or gives me a headache or triggers my misophonia, which results in me getting irrationally pissed off. it's not something i can control. i prefer to listen to nature sounds, very simple meditation music that is a few simple tones, or nothing at all. i actually enjoy silence. i enjoy not overloading my ears. i enjoy being alone with my own thoughts. i can't think when there's too much noise happening
video games are more enjoyable than anything else due to the interactive element, but that does not mean i am paying attention to the characters or the story. it's very rare that a game can actually make me get interested in the characters themselves. i'm just there for the gameplay. generally i prefer games like rollercoaster tycoon, tower unite and other games that don't have a plot at all and are strictly focused on gameplay. i have no idea how people memorize all the different characters and interactions and story beats in games that have an overarching plot.
it's a personal choice. you're allowed to choose what your hobbies and interests are. if pop culture stresses you out, you do not have to engage. i just straight up do not get pop culture references at all and i've had people laugh at me for it but i just really don't care, it's not what i'm interested in as a person. i feel like a lot of people aren't quite realizing that most popular media is made for profit, not to be something genuinely well written or entertaining. i'm not saying those things are bad but what i am saying is that it's a product meant to be consumed in order for you to help a generally huge company profit. there's very little soul and whimsy when it comes to most AAA games and big box office films. the artistic integrity is severely lacking
anyway, thank you for giving me a chance to talk about this more at length! it's why i'm just very honest about it because i'm not going to force myself to change my interests because some people find how i approach life strange, or take it personally. you're allowed to choose what you interact with and don't. you're allowed to define your own interests and hobbies. and i think you're doing a great thing by acknowledging that you have an unhealthy relationship with pop culture. a LOT of people do right now. it's manufactured to be addicting on purpose. binge watching things is encouraged and is becoming seen as a new norm. i don't think people like you or i deserve to be mocked for approaching life in ways that make sense to us. take care of yourself, i appreciate you!

Hi folks.
So it's come to my attention that there's a user on here by the name of @identityflawed and usually I'm not one to tag a user outright to inadvertently encourage strangers seeking them out, but this particular user is fine with doing such with others after, frankly, HORRENDOUS and UNCALLED FOR insults and hatred for the work they put in towards a piece of fan material. And they also prefer to be called outright. So, sweetheart, this one's for you.
This user has directly targeted the author of the popular and successful Caitvi fantiction titled "cerulean eyes for the wounded soul", a WWII based AU on our favorite lesbians, with Vi being an American fighter pilot and Caitlyn being a french countryside widow. What it boils down to is a whole lot of nothing words that slander the writing, insult the author, and have the audacity to say they could have done it better. So much so that they TAKE THE IDEA and "revamp it" to their liking.
Not only is their criticism completely unwarranted and not even criticism but more outright degradation of the hard work the author put forth, but it's a complete disrespect of the fanfiction community at large. Fanfiction comes purely out of the creativity of random people like me and you. Fanfiction writers aren't paid for their work, and thus the dedication required to even put out works like Cerulean Eyes should be commended. Needless to say, the work has been commended, due to its success.
I can only pinpoint the behavior of @identityflawed as that of a jealous and vindictive sorry excuse of a human being who has nothing better to do than tear people down while lazily stealing their ideas to compensate for their lack of creativity and their desperation to feel something besides insecurity.
You pretend to be a respectful individual by slapping a "no hard feelings?" equivalent of a statement at the end of a dissertation length hate letter TO THE AUTHOR about a work they dedicated months of time and energy towards. No sane person could ever call that respect. And implying that it's okay to harass an author to their mental health's detriment because "they should be strong enough to take it if they want to be on the internet" is, in a word, vile.
Darling, if you didn't like the fic, that's fine. Your vocal opinion is not needed. The possession of an opinion is not an indication that it needs to be shared. Learn some humility and keep your fucking mouth shut before you waste precious brain cells and oxygen that would be better used by other more deserving individuals.
I encourage anyone who comes across this post to block the user, and/or not to use abusive and violent language, but to feel free to speak your mind otherwise to them. They invited such words be directed to them. I see no reason not to fulfill their wishes.
Though, blocking might do the trick. The amount of traffic they get is meager at best. Jealousy is truly a hell of a drug.

Rewatched Hunt for Ziro (Quinlan's one of two TCW appearances, S3E9) because now I have more information about Quin and wanted to judge his characterization but now I have like a bunch of quinobi screenshots so:
Why is this episode so gay. What was the reason. Did they know wherever Quinlan goes homosexuality follows. Oh he has an effect on you. You are both men. What's wrong with you
Dude why was his second line in the ep complimenting a dude Also why is he trying to squeeze his way into every homoerotic relationship of Obi-Wan. First Cody then Cad Bane dude maybe chill Additionbally I strongly dislike his TCW design, maybe it's the blocky shapes that don't fit with the fluid image of him from the comics I have in my mind or maybe it's just that I hate the TCW style and maybe both It just doesn't work for me idk
KEEP YOU FUCKING HANDS TO YOURSELF MAN WE KNOW YOU WANT HIM
Quinobi content but at what cost (reduced to a comic relief character)
Yeah well where else would your eyes be looking deep into the other's eyes what the hell Obi-Wan
I need them dead
This is a 20 minutes episode where men touch each other more than they do in the other 132 Clone Wars episodes love me some 'close friends'
Holy shit they're holding hands!!!@!@!!!11!11 holy fuck!!!!!!21!1
Geuine question what is Quin looking at here for almost 10 seconds. That's not where Obi-Wan eyes are. Is he just staring at hs chest. Is he looking at his- *gunshot* (Is that what Obi-Wan meant by keeping their eyes forward)
I never doubted you moment! Woah this is just like Star Wars: Republic #70-
Hey why are you fighting with another man's lightsaber. Why is he putting his life in your hands. Why. Perish.
Yeah ok next one
You are? hanging off a cliff? with another man?
Insane that this is how their portion of the episode end. You'll know they'll be ok with each other. Especially after seeing that gayass smirk
His only (TCW) apperance after this was in Destiny (S6E12) btw, and probably the only thing close to an interaction with Aayla (HIS FUCKING PADAWAN) in canon
He should've had full Jedi robes here idc if it wouldn't make sense for them to design an entire thing for a bg character that appears for 10 second he's wearing his mission gear it's stupid
#quinobi brainrot leave me alone#sorry for insulting them it's hard not to#managed not to say how ugly i think obi-wan looks in tcw throughout the entire post tho!#until now ig#sw#star wars#quinlan vos#obi-wan kenobi#obi wan kenobi#commander cody#ayla secura#tcw#hunt for ziro#the clone wars#clone wars#quinobi#obiquin#gonna make a 'quin in jedi robes' collection later i think#he looks good in them

based on the Billstill au by @jellynut! You guys should totally go check it out, it's so cool and angsty and somehow my monkey brain took that idea and made it Stan tormenting Bill forevermore. (This has spiraled rapidly not its own au of an au based on an earlier idea I had once) (might draw more of this au and that one who knows)
This has been going on for at least 15 hours straight, and Stan is having the time of his goddamn life watching Bill suffer
And then Bill gave Stan horrendous night terrors
And then Stan bought a giant bag of nachos and ground them up into crumbs and dumped them in the sea or some shit
Transcript and full image under cut
Bill, floating intangibly: You're a loser, Mac
Stan, looking up from his magazine: Yeah? And you're an interdimensional demon dumb enough to die in my head. You're the biggest idiot I know, and I know me
#They're so funny to me#Bill is trying so hard to break Stan and yeah the nightmares suck and stan is definitely scarred for life#But for the most part... to me at least#The Bill still au is about Stan repeatedly wrecking Bill's shit and tormenting him and having the time of his life#Bill is the real captive audience actually#They're stuck with Each Other <3 and they hate each other and it's so funny guys trust#Headcanon that Bills insults wouldn't work on stan and would actually improve his self esteem#Because Bill can't day anything Stan hasn't said about himself#And hearing this massive loser call him pathetic has to be so funny and also invalidate the negative self outlook#Like hell is he gonna agree with BILL of all people#Ford is extremely confused about Stan's sudden Nacho buying spree but then sees Stan throw them in the Sea while shouting profanities#Ofc he joins in#stanley pines#bill cipher#billstillau#I have too many thoughts about this sorry guys 😭😭#gravity falls#gravity falls au#sea grunks#stan pines#my art

Btw just want to be clear that Time and Time Again is set to, and will if I don't pause, conclude in May 2025!
Webtoon didn't want to renew or give me any extra episodes so I'm trying to work with what I have. I'm sorry it's ending sooner than I'd like, it's been difficult to come to terms with and challenging to condense my plans.
You deserve a solid conclusion, and I've spent months writing to try and reach that. If there's anything you'd really like to see before it ends, do let me know in case I can (and want to) fit it in.
I'd rather not work with them again, and I hope I won't have to! But coming off of years being overworked and underpaid does not make that easy, to say the least...
I'm doing my best, and I hope you like what I have coming up.
#years of being overworked. underpaid. and literally manipulated and gaslit lmfao#it does not feel good to beg to be treated equally. and then told to be satisfied with less than that#it has been repeatedly demoralizing and insulting#and im not doing it again#i would rather nanny again (most exhausting job ive ever had) than work with them again#but. i would rather not!#I'd rather continue to make comics#but to do it full time i would need like 500 patrons on the $5 tier minimum...#which is SO MANY PEOPLE and incomprehensible to me#ive already proven to myself i can live on 25k a year but obviously its tight (i live in socal)#this. is not what this post is about#it's so hard for me not to complain about them#i feel bad for my current patrons i only share stuff on discord as of right now#well i do the merch packages but like#it's mostly just my discord#just dont have the time or energy to manage my patreon#cause idk if yall know but patreons site is TERRIBLE from the creator side???#it takes like 5 minutes to upload a single post it's ridiculous#so i cant manage it rn. I've thought about hiring someone to help me with it but i cant afford any help#anyways ultimately this is informing people its gonna end#and is turning into a vent around all of the stress surrounding that#like i literally had to take a couple months to just be sad its gonna end and come to terms with that#its hard! it's hard feeling so tossed aside and having your stories controlled even in part by someone else#anyways yeah#i havent finished writing the last arc yet#so theres space for me to fit stuff if theres something people really want#so id like to get in what i could if i can!#text post#sorry i always turn any thoughts about comics into vents about webtoon#theyre so ass man..... it's fine. im gone in may...

Pepperman but he actually looks like a pepper Day 6: Pepperman
#pizza tower#pizzatober#pizzatober2023#pepperman#forknight#My Hc for Pepperman would be that he constantly breaks his art tools too often when he gets insulted#Or chews on them when he hits an artblock#I'm sorry again for not posting daily#It's just really hard trying to keep up schedule when work prevents you from doing so

i love the poker table and all the shit that has come from it if not because you can see exactly who's the loudest persistent bitch there and who exactly finds that endearing spoiler alert its exactly who you think it is womp womp
deeply important to me on a "whos the best and whos the worst at the table" maffhew and benny insisting forsy is the best because of his good pokerface and his consistency and even swaggy agrees that forsy is pretty good meanwhile benny cant help adding an "ekky thinks he's the best" while he's at it and swaggy has to get his two cents in as well: "and [ekblad] thinks he's pretty good."
and when forsy gets asked best and worst he decides he can't say worse and instead only lists the people he think are the good and: "ekky's pretty good actually but he's very... he's a little bit more wild so he's got some big swings."
and at first it's like oh maybe this is a benny/swaggy bullying ekky moment as they're prone to wont to do (ekky deserves it and likes it) but then forsy immediately says afterwards that c*usins is: "but i think nick c*usins. hes doing pretty good. yeah, I know, I know... we're gonna get him though."
which immediately discredits why he thinks ekky is a good player because both benny AND demers were like c*usins is the WORST at poker
and if you think oh forsy is just a carebear of a man and he cant choose the worst- NO HE DOES NOT. HE ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT BECAUSE in the same interview he has no qualms of naming lundy as the worst playoff beard (2nd year in a row btw): "its gotta be one of the finns probably... lundy" and calling out luosty for his culinary abominations: "luosty is eating—he's putting raw onions in the pasta which is... yeah thats a little... weirdo, weirdo!"
this is just forsy whos very bad at hiding his bias and will warp the world in favour of it because he'd rather die than not pick ekky for TWO whole questions (best at poker and best playoff beard)
and with primetime panthers we learned that ekkys too loud and pushy for both benny and swaggys taste that they both elected him as the worst seatmate on the team plane which is so comical that mr. im not very good at poker but I still sit with them and get shocked when ekky bounds over and wants me to play too would say such a thing huh
and the double whammy is that swaggy prefers forsys who's the complete opposite of ekky
and i just think everyone going, forsy is nice quiet and reserved in his facial expressions and ekky is loud insistent and not as good as he thinks he is, is just sooooooooooo
#forsy: “hes a wildcard (admiring)” benny and swaggy: “yeah thats what makes him bad at poker (deadpan)”#man whos hard to read thinks the guy who wears his heart on his sleeeve is hard to read#“you cant predict him” being a compliment from forsy (because hes insane) but an insult from benny and swaggy#overeager puppy who keeps yipping and the serious workdog whos in charge of babysitting them#the way i screamed to see forsy choose ekky because i knows hes a lying sack of shit#forsy and his rose tinted glasses utterly charmed by ekky is just so funny to me#hes annoying during practise yeah i cant imagine what hed be like in a small enclosed space#everyone saying the texas holdem poker compa gets intense makes this funnier because ekky is just trying his best and yet#also ekky saying okie is pretty good which matches what okie said about being about to come in and fleece the boys sometimes#but also oooooo shes different she cant let her crush know that she thinks hes good at card games#sorry yeah this just turned into forsblad as most things tend to do for me#its utterly fascinating how forsys opinion differs from everyone else because hes terribly in love#ekky seems like a not the worst but not the best either though hes fun to play with because when he loses its pretty entertaining to watch#i need to see the fits he throws i need to see how him amd maffhew banter#poker table changed so much i need to know the updated table and if anyone joined#sorry i was updating my forsblad bible of quotes so yeah

ummm excuse you justin, that is your best friend
lol really though!!
but nah, i touched on this in my tags of a rb of this tweet. like to me it isn't a huge deal or anything. they're obviously still close, they just don't talk in season (which they've both said before). but they spent time in france together this offseason and have also said that they love each other and are always gonna have that connection so i'm not too worried! friendships go through stages sometimes, and adult friendships are just kind of like that, even for football players i guess! (some of my absolute best friends in the world, my favorite people, i only talk to once a month if that. and like a real deep catch up session happens only a few times a year. it's just hard! and i can say for sure that me and my friends do not have nearly as much going on as these two guys lol)
but anyway i'm also gonna take this opportunity to ramble about some more ja'marr character analysis lol. so like, it's becoming pretty clear that ja'marr is deadset on keeping tee and joe with him as long as possible (not gonna get into contract details or likelihood at the moment because that's all still in the air of course. but like, ja'marr's intentions at least are clear at the moment). and it's also obvious how much ja'marr treasures his friendships! he loves his guys and thrives off of being around them! i wonder if like, the evolution of his relationship with justin has to do with how extreme he, tee, and joe are being about contract stuff right now???
like justin and ja'marr were SO close for awhile there. from the hyper competitive but clearly loving friendship they had going on in college. the way they were always together on the sideline and always doing their dances and making up ridiculous elaborate handshakes <3 the way all of their joint interviews involved so much laugher and loving glances. and even after joining the league still talking about each other in the media and how much they love and support each other even as they're still super competitive. hell, when i first became a fan in 2022, ja'marr would still be streaming with justin almost every week lol. (i think justin has stopped streaming and maybe doesn't even do much gaming-wise anymore, which may have been the main way they kept in touch tbh. like, many such cases for the men i know in my life lol)
and now they're at the point where they have so much else going on, that even though they love each other, the constant conversation and all that isn't as present. (and ja'marr has kind of made it clear that that started on justin's end. like, ohhh he doesn't text me back blah blah blah, however true that is 🤔). and i feel like, even though ja'marr probably understands, that had to have hurt. again he values his friends so much and is at his best mentally, emotionally, and athletically when he's around them!!! i wonder if that taught him something about like, "if i want to keep these people i love in my life as much as possible, i need them to stay on my team. justin went to a different team and something that was so beautiful and important to me changed. i can't have that for tee. i can't have that for joe. we need to figure something out" which like, could absolutely be me digging depth into something that isn't there but at the same time it makes sense motivationally for me!!! like did he sob on his agent's shoulder one night about how much he missed justin and how he couldn't stand the thought of that happening with tee (I WANT TO PLAY WITH HIM FOR ETERNITY!!!) and the agent was like, hey, we can do something about this actually! send me his info!
#sorry sorry tldr: a bunch of projection#personal note that transitioning from living basically on top of my college friends and talking SO MUCH every day#(to the point that we were getting sick of each other lol)#to like. adulthood. in separate states. different kinds of jobs. different friends and family...#yeah that shit is hard!#but you always love each other#and ja'marr and justin clearly still do even if it's not quite the same#ON A DIFFERENT NOTE#holy shit those comments#i know i should never read football twitter#but like damn#do vikings fans hate ja'marr that much??#surely y'all can't be THAT insecure about justin?? like sorry that this one year (also ja'marr's rookie year)#people are saying that ja'marr could be better than him#like regardless of whetehr or not you believe that#it's hard to say there ISN'T an argument for it. like triple crown wise#i'm not sure where i fall on it#but like damn. why are you guys so bitter about ja'marr??#also acting like ja'marr has actually insulted justin??#when these two have IN A FRIENDLY LOVING WAY shit talk each other since day 1 at LSU#like??? the competition is one of the main bases of their friendship lol#each other of them has always and will always say that they're the one that's better#jesus christ#stop pitting two bad bitches against each other etc etc#anyway sorry anon i just used this ask to spill some Thoughts before bed lol#ja'marr chase#justin jefferson#(i'm also NOT sober so i doubt much of this makes sense)

it would have been good if Cindrella was more outspoken. And call out her family on not feeling **regretful and apologizing** after insults, ridicule and abuse.
#whose sense of fulfillment extends past her appearance#Disney princess 👸#They could have added hatemob in a form of their like-minded people like a choir#Straying away eye contact and narrowing eyes as if that person is hard to see(like they have a bad vision) and no one really telling to def#defend yourself even Fairy Godmother (who could be a project of Cindy's imagination who's also like thinks violence and insubordination#isn't an answer nor feminine)#You could add more realism to Cindrella like if you can't really stand up from home abuse what about abuse outside#Add hate mob that are the choir that would be perfectly even more realistic#And perhaps for a reinvention let her dad or fairy tell that you need to tell your abusers off tell them that choring is their job#And for the external abuse huz's mom tell you have to tell them off you have to attack(or smth of that) because by that you not only show#you can also answer-attack but you can do it twice 💪#Answer the bullies so they know you can do that not only that but doing it TWICE#And like imagine choring during your menstruation like wtf#Fuck them off you need to take care of yourself first#Cindrella a true story Cindrella grows awareness and a backbone#Cindrella and a choir hatemob#them be like “oh you need to look after my stuff and bag; oh sorry my bad that was actually my friend seat right here”#And tell her “if you don't behave nobody would love you” turn over to#“If they like me they just like me” “I don't need to turn into a downtrodden people-pleaser to be liked. That's fake” and#“good girls”go to hell#female socialization subversion#Strong Ella's#Tmnt#And not make abuse because of jealousy or smth because they've seen the behavior of#bringing violence into home and then not regretting and not apologizing#.Like the original poster have said “whose sense of fulfillment extends past her appearance or wedding plans”#That stepmother really tought that adopted daughter was a better option because other bio girls won't subordinate but really what's going o#is adopted one has turned into a standard house worker; specifically#a worker if not serving then beaten or insulted without regret or apology#And cindrella can be also called bruisisella

There was quite a bit of frustration at the start but I am almost done making the whip for my Catwoman costume. Was it eight times as hard making a real hybrid whip as buying a prop whip? Yes, yes it was. Does it already start to make the good crack, also yes. Have I potentially bruised or developed a new set of calluses on my fingertips, probably.
Here is the tutorial I am using.
#costume prop making#I felt insulted by the crappy whips they had at the local costume stores#Like I am sorry how much for that dinky thing?#looked up how to make them online and decided how hard could it be these guys are making them#Guys I forgot how bad at braids I am#So bad#it took forever to get it right in the beginning#but so satisfying once I got it
