#tbh this was Not a great use of money I really should've used it to buy food or soap lol since I'm pretty low on both

[heartbeetz]

Crash mutuals. N sane trilogy was $15 the other day so I am finally going to be playing it. :)

[pubbee]

i can't remember if you've ever said anything about it before but as the resident Ronin Enjoyer do you have any thoughts on some of the more irredeemable or straight up bad parts of his writing (i.e. what he did to zane in skybound and possibly ToE? but mainly the one thing with nya. like i'm not gonna fault anyone for not liking him but i personally feel like that never should've been written in in the first place and it sucks seeing people act like liking him is a sin. you know :/)

Ronin my guy my scrungle he is not the best man but also he suffers from bad writing lol. The Nya thing.... As much as I personally prefer to pretend it didn't happen because it feels like in the early days of Ninjago the writers consistently kept forgetting that she's supposed to be a minor (SKYBOUND) as well as making her face the occasional casual sexual harassment/assault (evil Jay forcefully kissing her), this is actually consistent with Ronin's character because:

Yeah.

Granted, the reason I prefer to ignore this aspect of him is because it's just plain stupid and he gets no real backlash from it in canon. And with Misako it's very much out of nowhere and Ronin doesn't even seem like he's interested. He erased her memories to pit her against the ninja and nothing else, but for some reason it was decided she should be putting her hands all over him like that 💀 However, I don't blame people for looking at this and deciding he's unlikable for it.

With the Zane stuff, I look at him taking Zane and Pixal to Chen's as something he had no other choice to do. It's kinda confirmed in the book Way of the Departed that it's the case (though my own reasoning is a bit different compared to the book), but at the same time, this was during a time he was a bit more eviler lol. So if he did this with evil intent then well he's grown since then at least.

As for what he did to Zane in Skybound, tbh fucked up and I'm glad it was technically undone. But Zane and Pixal were also kinda treated like objects that season in general too. The way Zane treated Pixal, the general existence and then complete dismissal of Echo, and whole thing with the Mechanic.... not great.

For me, personally I see Ronin as a tech lover who loves R.E.X so much he considers it a person, and by extension would respect Zane and Pixal in that regard, especially after befriending them but that's just me 🤷

But tbh there is something Ronin has done that is far more heinous than being robophobic and a creep, and that's what he did to the Islanders. I do not like season and what it did to him. Of all the people he goes and robs, it's the isolated people no one knows exists lmao. He doesn't just take their money, he takes their food, and takes so much they resort to human sacrifice. Like what the fuck. This felt more like something maybe SoR Ronin would do. And he was treated more like a common villain with no real history with the ninja at the end, too.

I don't wanna fully say it's out of character for Ronin to rob an entire island of people though, because I do feel like if desperate enough, he would go back to how he was before. I don't think he's above betraying the ninja, or hurting innocents because we've been shown he's afraid of dying (or at least going to super hell lmao) and is overall untrustworthy. But the thing is, he was fine! He had a deal with the Commissioner and was doing fine! Why make him do this, and then arrest him with the very people he used and put back in prison himself and then have him be just.... totally fine and friends with everyone again, prisoners and ninja alike lmao. It's bad writing to me. And after his development and and his relationship with the ninja, it seems very ill fitting to have him be the one lead the prisoners on the island when the Mechanic and/or Ultra Violet are right there.

So yeah I mean, if people don't like him I get it. At face value he is not a great guy lol. But for me there's a lot to like about him just because I really like his type of character when done well. He was a great influence for Nya and I love their relationship. He just suffers from poor writing just like.... every other character in this show 💀

And people better not be harassing or hating on others for liking a goddamn LEGO of all things. Please there are real problems to have. I'll continue loving Ronin regardless if others consider it a crime to lol I'm a grown bitch and can do whatever I want ❤️

I'd planned to liveblog the Always Sunny Podcast live show and afterparty but I got too caught up in it. I do have some notes I scrawled on a sheet of paper here and some shitty phone recordings because screenrecording was making my ancient laptop lag like crazy, but I'm quite drunk and very sleepy, so I'll write them up later. If I can be bothered later. Probably not lbr.

I believe the videos are gonna be up for the next 7 days to rewatch as many times as we'd like? (Hey future self go figure that out.)

For now, quick thoughts before my brain shuts down:

Outfits: 9/10. Docking a point for Glenn buttoning up his shirt in the afterparty. Rude. Should've popped that shirt off.

Music, harmonizing and jamming: 100/10 VIBES. Shout-out to Charlie and Glenn singing Christmas tunes together and Charlie's musical improvisations on the piano with Glenn on guitar.

British royalty talk: -3/10. Rob, I do like you, but given my background, I personally do not care to hear about how the king is cool or whatever. Idc if you talk about meeting them, but sucking up to them is dumb and you need friends who aren't posh types like Humphrey (no offence to him, I'm sure he's nice).

Glenn as the grinch, being grumpy as shit, munching on cheese and crackers furiously after drinking a Rob manhattan and just giving 0 fucks about Christmas happiness: 11/10 MOOD!

Best host contest: blasphemy/10. Picking Meg is cheating and I adore Charlie, but no. Why was little Glenn on #3? Poor chap.

Gifts: 10/10 thoughtful <3

Lingerie talk: 8/10. Not long enough. Could be gayer.

RCG improv scenes: A++/10. They just got better as they did more. The stupid key chain sounds had me dying.

Serious conversations in the afterparty about S16 writing, Megan's happy experiences at Sunny vs other shows, doing RCG rewrites and the creative process disagreements between Rob and Charlie while Glenn is mostly quiet and tired or sometimes mediating: 17*/10 friendship. Also, Charlie is right that 4:3 and Standard Definition is The Sunny Look.

Chat, voting website and audience interactions: flop disaster/10. Why didn't they try to set up a normal poll instead of a page on a website that was definitely going to crash?! Anyone under 28 could've told them the chat was going to be impossible to read and full of spam without a proper moderator, but even our Meg is old and doesn't really know this stuff lol.

*arguably 19 because they started working on the home movies in 2003 with the first ones shot in November.

It was a slow start and they were clearly tired from being in the writer's room all day, but after the first half an hour, the boys slowly came back to life and stayed on for an extra 45 minutes, which I appreciated, having paid all that money to watch them.

It was like a 3x duration unedited edition of the podcast with some extra segments and I did have fun, but tbh it didn't have to be a livestream except for the few moments they actually interacted with the chat. The whole point of a livestream is the audience participation and even they seemed disappointed they couldn't hear us or really be able to read the chat?

I don't think the Moment interface is that great either. They could've just gone live on youtube or twitch and hidden the stream after a few days for the same effect and given away the leftover money from superchats and donations. They'd probably raise less money that way, but it would actually take advantage of the format. Fingers crossed their next livestream goes a lot smoother. And hire moderators please!

Guess who's bawling his eyes out because now i can't shower till I'm at my bfs place and even there idk because I don't have a single towel left and till I'm there he won't have any either probably. I feel disgusting i wanted to shower everything is itchy i sat in dirt yesterday repeatingly and generally on the floor, my legs are covered in alcohol aka they're sticky af and i used Dixi toilets which are p much disgusting and i tripped in the park and fell into duck shit which i just roughly got off and now I can't shower bc my mom said she's not giving me any more money after what she already sent me which is very reasonable but i am this 👌🏻close to a meltdown now. He accidentally tipped over a coke can which he really isn't to blame for it can happen yes but it could've destroyed my graphic tablet, my expensive scale and i had to use my last towel to dry it up and now I don't have any left. This sucks because i just feel so fucking disgusting but I can't shower without a towel and I'm close to throwing up now. I feel sorry for probably making him feel like shit bc he went really quiet and idk if it's either because he thinks "yeah I don't wanna make it worse through saying anything" or if it's bc he feels like shit now.

Either ways my heart is literally fucking me up now again and i just wanna go to sleep but I'm hungry but I don't wanna cook the food nor do the dishes but i have to because i got like almost no butter left i could use for making a bread and i really just wanna cry now. Also i found out that even though i told C to get me everything regarding stickers and bracelets and shit she got me barely fucking nothing. Like great, thanks. Fuck you. Then i really just could've not went there tbh and spared me the literal fucking pain, or go to the free shit before going home anyways even though i felt unsafe and then staying home after. I was contemplating not going bc i was and still am in so much pain. I should've stayed home honestly. Because now I don't have my comfort shirt bc i gave it to smn so they don't risk getting raped because someone in the head fucking threatened to kill me if I don't, because it wouldn't be humane to let smn go in just a binder. Which yes i agree but it's the only comfort item regarding clothing i got left nowadays and now it's with someone i literally don't know. I mean i met my buddy i really love and i had fun, no questions asked. But I am exhausted, feel excruciatingly disgusting + hungry and i really wanna sleep because surprise surprise i slept horribly again and almost nothing

[ioannemos]

i started a huge tag explanation but i think i was gonna run out of tags so

the tl;dr: i like him and how his personal arc and relationship with jane ended, bc i understand his motives, empathize with his bad decisions, and love his character development. also i feel like bronte did a really good job of showing how well they fit as a couple which i'm not sure gets discussed enough

and now a read more for rambling

i used to feel closer to option two, tho for me it was more of an eyeroll and a shrug. like sure, jane, since you love him i guess? and clearly haven't gotten over him and have no desire to get over him, even tho you think you should, and could do so much better...

this last time i read the book, tho, i read the whole thing in one sitting (i didn't mean to but that's the magic of jane eyre) and was struck by a few things

first of all, oh lord, edward was so young when he was tricked into marrying bertha?? and tricked by his family, no less?? edward being the kind of person he is, i don't wonder at his anger, despair, etc. what a betrayal! and like, tbh, i don't know what he should've done differently. obv locking her in the attic wasn't a great solution, but she was violent and immoral before the insanity even kicked in. i'm honestly not sure what else a young man of his status, temperament, sense of duty, etc. would think of to do. he can't divorce her, and she can't be allowed to just. roam free. so while i don't think locking her in the attic was a moral solution, i can understand and empathize with him taking that route

(the other stuff he did, like having mistresses and whatnot, obv not good either. bad, in fact. but again, while i don't think it was the right thing to do, i can understand it: he wants love from a peer, and since he can't get that from his wife he's looking for it elsewhere) (tho he also keeps picking bad partners on purpose *claps edward on the shoulder* this bad boy can fit so much self-loathing and self-sabotage in him)

second of all, they are established pretty early on to be a good match for each other. while jane speaks very plainly, we know from her narration that she has the same fanciful imagination that edward does; he just has the freedom of being rich and a gentleman to express it. (also, he's at home whenever she's seeing him, not when he's traveling, which adds, idk, a Dimension to his words and actions that i think gets overlooked.) amongst other similarities, they both

are passionate

prefer to run away from their problems

feel trapped by expectations

almost die by trying to do the Right Thing (he tries to save bertha from thornfield burning down, she runs away from thornfield and almost dies of exposure)

refuse to marry people who want what they have/could do (blanche wants his money, st. john wants her ability to work herself to the bone) rather than who they are

find the idea of such a marriage to be personally repugnant

think people who marry for those reasons are foolish

(this includes the marriage to bertha, btw, hence a whole lot of that self-loathing)

like to spend money on the people they love

find adele silly and attribute it to her being french but are determined to english at least some of it out of her

love the other person so much they look and act dumb as hell

third of all, they don't get married until a. they are in fact peers and b. edward's not only received the consequences of his actions, he has accepted them as such. he was proud, so he's been humbled; he lived for pleasures of the flesh and now he's blind and crippled. what's more, not only has he accepted these consequences, he acknowledges that they came from God and responds accordingly. he shook his fist at God before, defied Him, dared Him to punish this behavior too, and God did, and edward accepts it. that's such a huge piece of character development that i think gets skimmed over and it's a shame

i really love jane eyre and could possibly keep going lol but i'm gonna stop here bc this is long enough

Finished Jane Eyre and would like to gain some general data, just out of curiosity

If none of these apply at all, you're free to abstain and tell me why in the notes—I just thought trying to sum up the spectrum of opinions usefully was hard enough without adding an easy "other" option.

[fortes-fortuna-iogurtum]

Man, you're so cool. I adore the way you ramble about Dr Who and ACGS, it makes me smile :) I hope your college financial situation gets sorted out soon! I'm so excited for you to be in a good place for you.

ohhhhh Robin, this is just the sweetest ask!!! thank you so much!!! I smiled so big when I opened tumblr during my lunchbreak today and saw this message ^-^ ^-^ ^-^ I'm so glad you get a smile out of my rambling!! sometimes I worry that it's annoying to people who might not know about the media it's based on, or that I should be thinking and talking about more relevant or meaningful things than stuff like DW and ACGAS... so it's really really nice to hear that's not the case, at least for you :) <3 <3

and thank you!! I'm hoping for the same!!! (and, fun fact, but I should have actually hit the halfway point for my projected savings goal today!! but since my boss forgot to put the hours for my paid vacation last week into the system, I got much much less money on my paycheck than I should've :') but it's all going to be ok, I've already spoken to him about it and he's going to submit the proper forms and get everything cleared up and the money I'm missing will get to me somehow. and when it does, it'll go straight into my college fund.)

(I'm putting the rest of this post under a break now, because I started typing and then accidentally vomited up a whole entire spiel about my complicated emotions towards college stuff, and no one wants that cluttering up their dash lolllll) (cw for emotional turmoil and general complaining/bellyaching/worrying/stressing about the future)

tbh, every time I talk about my college situation, I feel guilty. because when I step back and look at everything, I really am in such a sweet spot right now. I live at home with my family, which is (mostly) a fantastic situation--I get to eat my mom's cooking and hang out with my siblings all the time, which is great. I get to basically always bring my lunch to work (and it's usually leftovers of my mom's cooking) while my coworkers have to rush to buy something from a fast food place and swallow it down before our break is over. my family dynamic could be so much worse than it is. we attend a really sweet little church whose congregation has been so kind and welcoming to us (even if the style of the worship and teaching isn't quite what I'd like to find for myself someday). I have my own cosy little bedroom and all my books and my car and knitting and TV shows. I make seriously decent money for the kind of work I do, and most of it goes into savings for college while I have coworkers who can barely scrape by between rent and groceries and daycare bills and vehicle repairs. things aren't perfect, there are some pretty significant things I'd like to address (about myself and my brain and how it works, and some ideas about the world that I think got turned a little bit sideways at some point and need to be straightened out before they get too firmly cemented). I don't actually have any close friends who live near me (the nearest ones are at least 2 hours away and I rarely get to see them face-to-face). but honestly, I have it so good. I should be so content, I should be basking in the blessings I have right now.

yet I still complain about not being at college and talk about how badly I want to get there.

and as if all that wasn't enough, I'm petrified by the idea of things changing. I feel so weary and discouraged when I think about the idea of having to be brand-new in a brand-new place (again), not knowing anyone or how to do anything and constantly fearing that I'm messing it all up and I'm the only doofus who doesn't understand and there are all these secret common knowledge rules that everyone knows but me and if I admit to not knowing them I'll be labelled as an outcast but if I mess one of them up I'll be expelled from planet earth for having failed at humanity.

(and then also on some level, I'm terrified of moving on from the place I'm at right now, because things could be so much worse.)

I don't want to take what I have now for granted. I don't want to be unthankful for what I've been given. but I also can't be fully at peace here, because I just really really really am looking forward to the next thing. which of course makes me feel really guilty (and I tend to worry that when I do get to college, it'll all be terrible and I'll realize how wrong I was to want to hurry to that stage and my life will turn into one big Aesop's Fable and the Twilight Zone guy will appear to announce the moral of the story to everyone so they can use me as an object lesson to their Sunday school classes).

and of course, none of this makes sense and it's all one big jumbled ball of weird emotions and fears and dreams and I'm doing my best to ignore it and pray that God will just lead me where I need to go and not let me get distracted by silly things that will drag me off-course or waste my time along the way. which I guess is all I can do. but it sure doesn't come easily to me.

anyway, you didn't ask about any of that, but it just sorta... all fell out when I started typing :') I am excited to go to college, especially the college I plan to attend. it's my dream college, and I went from thinking I'd never be able to attend there to seriously planning to move into the dorms next fall. I think I'll learn so much there, and I'll meet other people--both mentors and peers--who will both affirm and influence me in meaningful ways. I can't wait to see how God uses all of this to write a grander story for me than any I could ever imagine!! but I do worry so much about pretty much everything, so even though I instinctively feel that this is the right thing to do, there are so many what-ifs and silly questions that plague me, simply because I cannot give a definite answer to them and unknown variables bother me.

Currently Reading : The Inheritance Games - Jennifer Linn Barnes

26% read so far

Only at a quarter of the book, but SO MANY things to say.

This is a rant. If you don't like your favorite book being criticized, I'm sorry, don't read this, your feelings WILL be hurt.

We don't know what Avery looks like ???? She has not been physically described yet, doubt she ever will. Is it for the reader to identify more easily to the protagonist ? Tbh, something is bothering me in the fact that the author spends so much time describing males of the family, specially the brothers but not saying a word abt the females characters.

WHY is everybody acting like Avery is some kind of genius ???? Ok for that math or physics test, but the keys ???? Like???? It's not that complicated really.

She's the worst friend ever. Doesn't give a f about Maxine, only talking about herself.

Maxine is annoying.

I'm going to talk about the boys. Big, big issue to introduce a character, totally drunk and acting like it is SO COOL. Isn't he underaged ? (I drank underaged but didn't exposed this as cool in front of thousands of persons). Grayson, nothing to say really, empty shell. Same for Xander, but he likes to eat so I tolerate his presence. Nash ??? Well idk, fake rebel that can do what he's doing thanks to grandaddy.

Liberal shit. I know this is for young adults (I still am I guess?) So maybe it's not supposed to be like ""analyzed"" but it's not bc your audience is 15 that it's dumb. Exposing wealth. Making it something desirable to teenagers that probably already have a lot. Spend no time knowing what life was like for Avery with no money, really. She should've been taking care of psychologically. People that win enormous amounts at the lottery get the possibility to see a psychologist. She's underage and I don't know US & Texas Laws but I doubt she can do anything with her money.

The message I get from this book so far is : It's SO GREAT to be filthy rich. Don't think about the consequences, don't think of others. She didn't have a thought for the good she could do around her thanks to this money ? For her sister ? Maxine ? For the world, in general ? Guess she's egotistic af. (Maybe the book will go towards this direction)

I'm having fun summoning Bourdieu & the Pinçon-Charlot. That's the positive thing

[fate-defiant]

Thoughts on Treasure Planet AU Edel:

tbh I think it'd be an interesting running theme that practically everyone who's ever had concrete proof that the treasure planet exists feels kinda entitled to The Loot™️

that being said I think Edel at first takes off with the map with no intention of going back, with plans to destroy the map

and yet for days and days after her escape she just keeps it

then after a while she thinks of all the great and good things she could do with all that money

not to mention that just because she has the map it doesn't mean no one else will ever find the planet

who's to say they won't end up doing even more harm using the tech abd riches stored away there?

and that is if Drosselmeyer doesn't dispose of them first

which would be tragic

And really, who better than her to ensure such an astronomic amount of money doesn't fall into another pair of wrong hands?

she outwitted Drosselmeyer once, surely she can do it again.

So here's the new plan: learn as much as possible about technology and hacking. meet the right people. and then once she's ready, she'll return to face Drosselmeyer once more

hopefully no one else will find the planet in the meantime

And so Edel travels around. She gets by in numerous ways(most of them illegal) , one of them being selling various antique knicknacks on the street

Anyway, during her time on Montressor she meets Ahiru, who starts looking up to her immediately.

Edel is extremely endeared and gets very attached to Ahiru.

Unfortunately, that clouds her judgement a little.

After months on Montressor, Edel realuzes she's used up every resource available to her there to further her goals. Which means she needs to move on.

She also knows that in the circles she's moving in, she needs to constantly be on guard- she can't be sure who knows that the map exists. This makes her journey very frustrating and slow. If she can't find people she can trust, she can't dorm a crew. Not to mention how much care she needs to put into keeping the map well hidden.

However, there is one person she can trust.

So the day before she leaves, Edel gives Ahiru a gift- a pendant made out of a scrapped piece of some obsolete tech.

A vital part of the map- the key that allows it to open.

Ahiru of course treasures it as if it were a family heirloom. And with at least one piece of the map being kept by someone she trusts, Edel leaves with her mind at least somewhat at peace.

After all, who would think to look for the map there, in the hands of an innocent girl working part-time at her mama's inn?

(also yes bertha is very much present in this AU)

(man I need to make some Bertha content this us getting embarrassing)

(for those not in the know(and you have only me to blame for it), Bertha is my oc. She is Ahiru’s mom. yes i know her existence only makes sense in AU's. Let me have this)

But Edel underestimates how deep an obsession can go.

Cue the captain of The Raven's Blood confronting her about the map

Now here's something apparently not even Edel knew about the map: it can emit a signal from one piece to the other. This ensures that, given its not likely both parts can be lost at the same time(in most scenario's at least, esp. if the map being made up of two parts is a secret), one of them can easily be used to find the other. Just as well, it makes it easier to secure the map. From people who don't have enough information at least.

Unfortunately, this ruthless pirate has more that enough information.

So Edel escapes with her part of the map and heads towards Montressor to get the key and get the heck out of dodge before she gets Ahiru hurt

how could she be so stupid goddamnit

really she just wanted Ahiru to remember her. She wanted a way to feel safe.

She forgot that she could never afford that so long as she gas the map

she should've just destroyed the map, to hell with the treasures and foolish adventurers running headlong into danger

She has another run-in with the pirates on her way and while she does manage to shake them off, her ship is badly damaged and she doesn't manage a decent landing

She crashes near the inn, unfortunately

Fakir and Ahiru find her and take her to Charon's workshop

Edel tells Ahiru to destroy the necklace. Then dies.

See this way we get to keep the emotional bond between the two of them and reference her death in Princess Tutu as accurately as possible, with Ahiru in tears and Edel just happy she got to open her heart to someone and be truly loved and appreciated as a person

A perfect bit of knife-twisting

Anyway, Fakir walks Ahiru home since by now it's the dead of the night.

or idk he gives her a ride on something

Bertha invites him in for a bit and they're all just processing everything for a bit in the dining hall

when suddenly another spacecraft violently lands outside and people just burst out and head for the building

Everyone immediately realizes this means trouble and the escape goes p much the way it did in the movie

The inn burns, Ahiru is shaken to the core and just trying to understand all this, Bertha us struggling to keep it together for her daughter and the only thing keeping Fakir from loosing his mind is his Overprotective Mode, which has been activate o much since Edel crashed that afternoon

*Cue a sick fuckin' space adventure full of love and loss and finding new strength and potential within yourself through the bonds you make with other people*

*sobs* so uh;;; y y ea ;;;;

Janis: find a totally natural way to drop hints that I'm dead talented over my lattes, duh Janis: writing lyrics in a notebook, being SO cute 🤔 Jimmy: he's got a girlfriend with a normal sized head, but I think he can read so you're probably on to something there with the last bit Janis: normal?

Janis: that's the question Jimmy: answer it then Jimmy: [a LOOK] Janis: [😳] Janis: it's not obvious? Jimmy: might be but it should be just as obvious that I wanna hear it Janis: how badly I want some alone time with you just increased Jimmy: 🚬? Janis: worth a go Jimmy: [do your best to try and escape lads] Janis: [probably enough into our hot chocolate/festive film to give you a few minutes here] Jimmy: [take your chance and leg it] Janis: [lord knows you need the moment Jimmy: [it's deserved you didn't know you'd still be here with all these kids and no privacy whatsoever] Janis: [what a time, at least you don't have to go home and separate 'cos heaven forbid] Jimmy: [that would suck, the time between boxing day and nye is weird enough if you like your fam and aren't a highkey teen in love so] Janis: [hence 'I missed you' like you've not spent forever together at this point and barely been apart] Jimmy: [hence the most genuine smile ever like an adorable nerd because whatever he was expecting her to say was not that but we're here for it] Janis: [when you go to nudge him like shut up but it's more of a feelsy lean and we all know it 'sorry about missing work' 'cos we feel bad even if there's fuck all we can or could do about it] Jimmy: [always gotta give that feelsy lean back regardless of how much it hurts us which gets him thinking about how much work would suck being this injured so we're 😒 which makes it seem like we're really annoyed about missing work even though we know he'd rather be here, hence the shrug he does when he snaps out of said thoughts 'you're my fave job any road, said it before' stop calling her a job sir even if you said that in a more feelsy tone than the words suggest] Janis: ['charming as the first time' and a 🙄 we're probably playing off as more jokey than it is] Jimmy: ['nowt I'd wanna be doing more than pissing about here with you, what could be more charming than that?' maybe if you'd said that in the first place boy instead of calling her a job again] Janis: ['I'm against serving coffee to ungrateful dickheads, it's not much to brag about, like' but a shrug and 😏 'cos we're not fuming over it] Jimmy: ['loads else you could if you wanted to' just telling her she's 🥇 basically there 'but I'll do it if not' casual hypeman is how that sounds but we're just 😍] Jimmy: [when I was asleep a little list of things he likes about her/she could brag about came to me so I'll try and recreate it from memory for us now, first he was obvious and just wrote fit on her arm or wherever but then did a camera and painting mime to emphasise that and tell her she was a good muse before adding mysterious where he wrote fit but then it started getting cute cos he drew little vampire teeth in the air above her smile and a sun on her face which he added the 😁 grin to obvs and then because we were in that general area he wrote nerd in caps on her neck across the biggest lovebite because not only is she such a one but to include nerd flirting then we moved to her throat and he did 🗨 because he likes talking to her and added a 🎵 inside because she's genuinely a good singer then wrote fun before adding the ny as well cos she's also a laugh then he went down to where her abs are and wrote athlete also in caps because DUH and finally on her ribs did the ✔ again because she's been taking care of him and is so kind and nice etc and while he was there got carried away just drawing an elaborate and massive rose for all the love and feels we can't currently express] Jimmy: [there might have been others I'm forgetting but those were definitely the main ones] Janis: [I'm dying boo, we're going to have to be physical because if we aren't speechless then things will be said but it's going to be the most intense and loving ever so we know] Jimmy: [not letting that be interrupted, soz children fend for yourselves for a minute please] Janis: [it's not like we've gone far, you're fine and we need this so we don't die] Jimmy: [my half asleep day dream has killed us all I am soz] Janis: [we're not soz at all, y'all living your best life] Jimmy: [the feels have never been higher] Janis: [are gonna have to force you back in eventually] Jimmy: [if only so y'all don't declare your love in words as well] Janis: [smack on that window children because it's too damn soon hush] Jimmy: [Libi 👀 to see if you're kissing] Janis: [she's gonna tell everyone lmao, tiniest shipper] Jimmy: [I love her with my whole heart] Janis: [mcvickers getting that lowdown they did not ask for when we're back, accidental snitching, at least we're being good-ish lmao] Jimmy: [Fearghal gonna be so amused, Tess will not LOL but yeah you've taken good care of this bub so you win points for that lads] Janis: [can't say fairer than that] Jimmy: [gonna be so heartbreaking when you're not allowed to stay there and see Libi, I could cry] Janis: [we have to make things go so downhill in a sec in a lot of ways, sad times] Jimmy: [winnie will love the drama, but for now go inside and try and get these kids to fall asleep] Janis: [threaten them with separation if they don't start to chill, that'll work] Jimmy: [try not to lol at how horrified they are at the prospect] Janis: 😱💔💀 Jimmy: #relatable for you, that Janis: you wish Jimmy: 🎂 Jimmy: ain't even Jesus' birthday no more Jimmy: can't piggyback off that Janis: sound like a right parent Janis: over before it's even started Jimmy: none of the fans know when mine is, might just have it so you have to get me more 🎁🎁🎁 Janis: that's not fair Janis: you'll get whatevers left in the grabber and that'll be that Janis: you'll have to pretend you won it for me and all or it's not very #goals Jimmy: told you loads of times I don't play fair, Jules 🏆 and that's that Jimmy: spoil me on my fake birthday or you ain't very #goals Janis: well used to bdays not being fair 🎻🎻 Janis: 15 years too late for that to sting Jimmy: poor baby Jimmy: hang on, I'll knock you up your own 🎂 Jimmy: [genuinely goes to make her a mug cake in secret, look away children there's none for you bye] Janis: such a 🤓 Janis: [like we're not 😍] Jimmy: So you don't want it? Alright Jimmy: [we know she do] Janis: never said that Janis: [grabby hands like gimme] Jimmy: [🤫 which he always looks hot doing like okay cover me so you don't have to share this with the children] Janis: [🤐 like I got this] Jimmy: [cleaning the kitchen but also sneaky doing this and when it's done gesturing for her to come here so they can swap places and she can sneakily eat it, just know he has 1000% put a little candle it in and lit it with the best lighter ever because every mum has a drawer of shit like that it's simply facts] Janis: [obviously taking a picture of this] Janis: why are you Jimmy: 'cause you're Jimmy: and I just Janis: you're Janis: too nice Jimmy: Bollocks Janis: nah Jimmy: yeah Janis: to me Jimmy: I'm as nice as I wanna be to you Janis: I ain't earnt it Jimmy: when have I said that?

Jimmy: that I wouldn't do a better job of this if I could Janis: apparently, I've got no right so Jimmy: you shouldn't have to hack this an' all Janis: I don't Janis: all I was doing was saying go sleep on a proper bed Jimmy: it's just Jimmy: I don't know Jimmy: weird Janis: how is it Jimmy: I said I dunno Jimmy: it's been ages since anyone bothered to say owt worth listening to like that Janis: well Janis: why fuck yourself up more Janis: that's it, it's no deeper than that Jimmy: Why not? Jimmy: that's been the question up to now Janis: if you're gonna self-harm Janis: don't do it in front of me Jimmy: you get to hold the 🔪 my dear, and when you do it'll be a pisstake if you don't go harder than that Janis: I'm not playing right now Jimmy: nor me Jimmy: what I meant were, it don't matter to me what happens to me if it only happens to me Jimmy: very catholic of me, I know Janis: i'm not interested in having no more blood on my hands Jimmy: not bleeding out as of now Jimmy: you're welcome to piss off again if I ever am Janis: 👍 Jimmy: is it? Janis: yep Jimmy: what kind of answer is that? Janis: what do you want? Jimmy: and what kind of question is that an' all? Janis: I'm not in the mood Janis: to talk to you or do this Janis: I'll be back to do my share and then we'll go back as soon as we can Jimmy: just come back now Jimmy: it's freezing Janis: I'm fine Jimmy: I won't be if I have to piss about looking for you Janis: don't Janis: I know where I am, it's not your concern Jimmy: don't make me Janis: for fuck's sake Jimmy: is right Jimmy: come back and ignore me from here Janis: don't tell me what to do Janis: I'll come back when I'm ready Jimmy: don't be a twat Jimmy: then I won't have to Janis: how far do you reckon I've got in this time Janis: I'm basically outside Jimmy: 💪🏆🥇 you Jimmy: might've 🏃 anywhere Janis: it's snowing Janis: in case you'd forgotten Jimmy: that'll be why I want you to come inside Jimmy: tah for recognising it Janis: don't come near me then Jimmy: alright Janis: [show up a few minutes later] Jimmy: [we do be giving her space like she requested thankfully but we have made her a tea because it's our love language and it is cold af out there no lie] Janis: [act like you're not gonna take it for as long as you can but clearly do] Jimmy: [go to your bed sir and give it a while before you come at her again] Jimmy: What did you mean? Janis: about what? Jimmy: you said you don't wanna do this, which bit? Janis: I was talking about tonight Janis: not permanent plans Jimmy: weren't how it sounded Jimmy: you had a plan and it were to piss off back there as soon as Janis: both gotta work Janis: both got kids that don't belong to us Janis: just the obvious next step, really Jimmy: if you wanna pretend that's why, go on, obviously Janis: I'm not pretending shit Jimmy: you don't have to be a massive dickhead to keep it going just 'cause I already were Janis: obviously I don't want to spend no more time with you too Janis: why would I Jimmy: no idea Janis: there you go then Jimmy: alright then Janis: she'll be gutted Jimmy: ? Janis: Libi Jimmy: already spent ages longer here than we were going to Janis: true Jimmy: and she don't need to know that you're #overit and me Janis: makes playdates a bit awkward Jimmy: what's a bit more faking? nowt we haven't done before Janis: right Jimmy: she's less thick than most of our audience but still only a kid Janis: no need to break them up Jimmy: agreed Janis: sorted Jimmy: ✔ Janis: anything else we need to? Jimmy: like what? Janis: dunno Janis: why I asked Jimmy: it's your question, weren't me who asked it Janis: I don't ask questions I know the answer to Janis: as a rule Jimmy: if you had something in mind, say it Janis: there's loads of shit Janis: potentially Janis: mainly how we're finishing this if we are Jimmy: up to you that Jimmy: it's you who wants to Janis: no it isn't Jimmy: weren't me who said I wanna go back or that I dunno why you're worth spending time with Janis: like you've not said shit tonight Janis: and neither of those is saying I want to finish it, anyway Jimmy: what else does not wanting to spend any more time with someone mean? Janis: we've been mates for what, a minute? Janis: we were doing it before then Jimmy: so you just don't wanna be mates? Janis: not worked out so great thus far Jimmy: bit rude Janis: 🙄 Jimmy: it were going alright Jimmy: you don't need to chuck it all Jimmy: not for something that weren't about you Janis: you bighead is really showing Jimmy: how is it? Janis: 'chuck it all' Janis: I was fine before you came about, tah Jimmy: you know what I mean Janis: how you say shit matters Jimmy: how I say loads of bollocks Jimmy: you get most of it Janis: I'm dickhead lingual, I guess Jimmy: I'm sorry, alright Jimmy: for what I said when I was in pain, that load of bollocks Janis: if you never phrase it like that again Janis: alright Janis: forget about it Jimmy: deliberately will ALWAYS phrase it like that now, each time Janis: if you could not make a habit of it, be appreciated Jimmy: being a MASSIVE dickhead? bit late for that Janis: I can handle that Janis: taking shit back that you've said Janis: leave off that Jimmy: not a habit I want Jimmy: only fancy the ones that'll 💀💀💀 me which that ain't gonna if it makes you piss off out of it Janis: a deal then? Janis: deal back on, actually Jimmy: if we shake on it Janis: okay Janis: come out then Jimmy: come here then Jimmy: meant to take your advice and stay put like a good lad here 🛏 me Janis: you're awkward how and when it suits you Janis: [but does, obviously] Jimmy: [will shake your hand and pull you into a hug gal] Janis: [the most dramatic hug, definitely forgetting to be careful here soz] Jimmy: [not caring that much because we care more about the bae knowing how soz we are and how many feels we have] Janis: [likewise, the tension got too much and went wrong, as it does, and we're #shooketh] Jimmy: [straight up asking her to stay for a bit because we're in our emotions so we're just saying what we wanna say without thinking about it] Janis: [just nodding 'cos that's all we can do] Jimmy: [making room for her as if this isn't a single bed lol] Janis: [at least you'll remember to be careful again and not hug him so hard, but then you're like oh, 'cos don't want to make it a Thing™ again so 'sorry, if you think I was making it all about me'] Jimmy: [a noise like no that is not what we think because 1. the strength of how much we don't think that 2. what are words and just hugging her for the emphasis] Janis: [shrugs like it's okay but we're not gonna keep going like we don't believe him even if we lowkey don't] Jimmy: [just looking at her like ! 'I think it's more of a headfuck than you signed up for, nowt else'] Janis: [just looking like how do I even explain that that's not your fault and literally the last thing either of us should be concerned about because it does not matter, just shaking our head like nah] Jimmy: [playing with her hair cos it would've had snow on it recently because there is too much we wanna say about our feels and so much we feel like we can't say about our family situation] Janis: ['I CAN handle it' like trust me] Jimmy: ['me an' all' like same even though you lowkey can't] Janis: [soft kiss] Jimmy: [you can have some little kisses too gal like my boo loves] Janis: [just being the most soft] Jimmy: [you gotta] Janis: ['we're alright, yeah?'] Jimmy: [a nod because the emotions are still too high rn and I'm not letting you say shit thank you] Janis: [sigh of relief] Jimmy: [hugging you again cos we don't want you to leave] Janis: [you can stay here lads, the bubs will be alright and you'll hear if they ain't] Jimmy: [snuggle it's what you both need] Janis: [let 'em be for a hot sec] Jimmy: [mhmm] Janis: [what shall we do in the AM?] Jimmy: [make breakfast together for these bubs obvs because all the domestic bliss needed] Janis: [might have to trek to the shop to get supplies, that'll be an adventure] Jimmy: [maybe you can make them some kind of sledge because you're both crafty art hoes] Janis: [I bet there's some kind of tings in a caravan that would work, cannot think what exactly but we know the vibes, get creative] Jimmy: [I wouldn't have the first clue but you two would figure it out and you can get Cass to help she'd be into that] Janis: [as well as snowball fight and snowman making competition, which are 2 points we wanted to hit too] Jimmy: [love that and you can also make snow dogs for these bubs] Jimmy: [the question is should we let them have another night here before we send them back or is that too dangerous] Janis: [I think we should for the danger of it/to prove we can lol] Jimmy: [I'm down, just don't have another argument please] Janis: [hohaha, be good] Jimmy: [I have faith in you] Janis: [the only thing I've said you've done is baking/crafts so apart from that enjoy your snow/beach funtimes, you should also get chips for dinner, obvs] Jimmy: [yeah I'm trying to think if there's anything else they should do] Janis: [there's potential the kids have said more? because this is a whole long weekend and they don't know/care not to so, that's potentially something we need to know] Jimmy: [oh that's a good idea, is there any tea you want spilled] Janis: [hmm, she'd probably just KEEP talking about her parents like all the things she's been told about Edie specifically, so all that tea, just more than we've got out so far] Jimmy: [likewise can picture Bobby really driving home the point that he doesn't have a mum and like what he remembers about her being basically nothing so it'd be obvious they haven't seen her for ages not just since they moved] Janis: [poor babs, just bonding and JJ are here like and I OOP] Jimmy: [I hope Cass isn't around when you're spilling that tea bub cos she will be fuming] Janis: [that is potentially a thing unless he knows better by now lol] Jimmy: [this boy living his best life with his new bff deal with it Cass] Janis: [soz hen, you'll be hanging with your new mates as much as you can so we're probably fine] Jimmy: [getting all that arcade swag] Janis: [love that we're pretending we don't hear any of this clear drama lmao ly babes] Jimmy: [poor Jimothy having to just sign all this back and forth like] Janis: [I do think for a bit Libi would keep shouting like he'll hear her eventually 'cos she's only little so that'll be amusing/a time just screeching everything lowkey] Jimmy: [that's really pure babe I do stan you] Janis: [people like that's a loud child lollollol] Jimmy: [I hope you're not still shouting when you go home hun, hilarious as that would be] Janis: [mcvickers like lawd, she'll be showing them how to sign what she's learnt like just in case bobby comes round] Jimmy: [which he definitely will at some point, all the playdates forever] Janis: [fully gonna just try and take herself to Jimmy's all the time like no gal] Jimmy: [shows up at his door because they literally live that close to each other everyone like !!!???] Janis: [troublemaker baby] Jimmy: [do so love the edition of her to this lil family unit JJ are making here though, she really does add to it] Janis: [agreed, it's very cute, she'd probably have told him about how Astrid is technically her auntie but like a year younger 'cos that's wild to kids, so gonna get a sense of how messy this fam is lol] Jimmy: [and she doesn't talk either so Libi would be used to having to find ways to communicate with her too even though we know Ro be pretending there's no issue rn] Janis: [exactly dr phil, we all been knew and trying to work around it apart from ro lmao, just giving a lowdown on every auntie she has which would be amusing and probably a lowkey drag for some of y'all ladies, we know Janis and Billie are her faves] Jimmy: [I can wholeheartedly support those faves gal, Billie would always be doing the most for her and Astrid, fuck you Ro you dusty bitch, Bobby would love all this cos they lowkey have no fam] Janis: [take 'em for rides on your fancy wheelz, they'd love that, just like you can come meet them when we get back like okay JJ, all this is happening regardless, soz] Jimmy: [if she was here you'd have a bomb sledge hens she's probably built Libi and Astrid all kinds of things, Bobby will love all of Ali's animals and shit she has too, casual farm moment] Janis: [probably telling you every cats name too, poor Jimothy is gonna need a break lol] Jimmy: [unrelated but related do you think Ali would have space for any horses because I have all that Cass horse content] Janis: [I think it makes sense, I too have some gay horse content, like it wouldn't be a working farm but I think she'd have various farmyard animals just for the household] Jimmy: [yeah it made sense to me too, like your auntie vibes] Janis: [mhmm, and it could've been just land when we inherited it but she's swagged it up now she has more time/the kids aren't bubs etc] Jimmy: [Bobby just asking if they can have a kitten, Jimothy like NO] Janis: [I'm cackling, 'cos Libi like YEAH] Jimmy: [just like okay can we have a chicken/pony/donkey whatever else creatures there are, Jimothy like lawd] Janis: [just shoving the whole barn into your rental home, god bless you tiny fools] Jimmy: [and then Bobby obvs wants to phone Twix and Jimothy is just trying to distract him because we don't wanna phone Ian and he won't play along with this thank you] Janis: [distract y'all with an activity fast] Jimmy: [they could make dog treats, it's not very difficult] Janis: ]that's a good idea boo] Jimmy: [casual gift to these pups] Janis: [they'll enjoy that, kids and dogs, also can have a tea party for the toy pups lol] Jimmy: [so CUTE gonna say that Jimothy draws you a little comic strip or something about these pups kids] Jimmy: [I don't know what daily doodle you're getting today Janis, but something loved up for sure] Janis: [frankly, we're all living today hun] Jimmy: [do you wanna do this night like we did the one before with them chatting again or are we just saying it's a chill loved up vibe?] Janis: [hmm hmm hmm, let's do it, maybe we can be cute] Jimmy: [you start it then gal cos I did before] Janis: [on it sonic] Janis: 🥇🏆💪 Jimmy: 😏 Janis: come on, we bossed it Jimmy: no need to sound surprised

second tumblr post woohoo

lately I've been really romanticizing the past a liiiittle too much I think. I really wanna go back to like the 90s/early 2000s and just experience life like that for a bit. I feel like the world as it is right now is a little too much for me to handle. I wanna go back to when so many of the bands I love were just starting out, and when it was more popular to be all emo and shit. I can't handle the amount of stress placed on me as a college student right now. I can't deal with the amount of homework and knowing that I might not even be able to pay off my debt with my career. I wish I didn't even have to go to college. I should've gone to trade school or something honestly.

But I just feel I'd be so much happier and more creative without a device glued to my eyeballs 24/7. I used to read so much, now I just do nothing that brings me any joy. School and work take up all of my time without any sense of accomplishment. At the end of the day all I can think about is who I've managed to disappoint be it my parents or my teachers or my partner.

I really love my partner but sometimes I am so scared they might not really care about me past what I can give them. I love how goofy and smart they are and how they're good at making music and follow their passions, and I just feel that I have nothing to attract them in that same way. Sometimes I feel that they just treat me as an annoying little gnat that they can fuck sometimes and then ignore, knowing that I'll stick around because I'm obsessed with them. But then again, I have a terrible habit of convincing myself that they hate me, because I only ever focus on the bad and immediately forget any good parts of our relationship.

The only good thing that has happened in my life lately has been seeing MCR live. A month after we started dating, my partner spent a lot of money getting tickets to riotfest to see MCR for my birthday. This was in 2020. Now that that moment has finally occurred, I honestly don't know what is left to look forward to. It was legitimately the best moment I have ever experienced, and the time when I felt most in tune with my partner. Now I feel like I'm cosmically paying the price for that level of joy. I have felt nothing but fucking rancid since.

People say I'm funny but I honestly believe deep down that I am fucking worthless. I've always felt like I was boiling up to doing something important in my life, but lately I've been feeling so hopeless. The only thing stopping me from killing myself is honestly knowing that at this moment no one would really care. My parents have other children they've always paid attention to more, my partner has friends that they feel are more important than me, I don't have any pets. No one would care! I need to make something of myself, and make myself desirable and interesting so that tons of people will care when I fucking end it.

I think I feel this way because of how my parents treated my older sister compared to me growing up tbh. They never really cared about what I wanted, or how I was doing in school. They only ever really gave a shit about the oldest and the youngest, and I worked my ass off as a little kid to relish in the glory of parent teacher conferences, where my parents would have to listen to someone tell them about how great I was. Now I'm in college and trying to do well, but they only really care about my oldest sister who moved back home. Oh well! Everytime I disappoint them in some way I justify it by telling myself that I'll buy them a cabin someday. But I'm starting to wonder if they even deserve it, or if it's just another way that I'm sucking up to them in the hopes of getting attention.

Like I think the stress of college and needing money might have me being a little bit too suicidal lately, but I don't know if it's just that or that I've been lying to myself for so long about life being worth living. I got a parking ticket before work the other day and I was legitimately considering drinking cleaning solution in the freezer, so no one could stop me but my body would be found relatively soon after. Every single thing that goes wrong lately feels like another sign to just end it. At the end of the day, idk if I'll kms or not, and I don't think I really want help deciding that.

Anyways! I'll talk about something positive! I really fucking love MCR. All of their music just cultivates the perfect vibe. It's campy, but at just the right level to make me feel like a badass listening to it. Vampires Will Never Hurt You is one of my favorite songs of theirs (after It's Not a Fashion Statement) and hearing them play it live was fucking unreal. Seeing them made me want to make music that makes other people feel the same way mcr makes me feel. I want to get to the same level of cool as Gerard Way, and then I can end it and just live on in people's minds as a cool bitch for eternity.

i've been thinking about this for the longest time and i think it's that time when i come clean.

i appreciate all the supportive messages that i got telling me to ignore and keep doing me, but i'm going to be honest, i don't know if it's worth it for me anymore. i love bigbang. i've been a fan for almost 7 years (next week will officially be my vip anniversary). i spent my high school years listening to them and it persisted until now. before i did anything on tumblr and twitter, i used to write fics on asianfanfics and gd was my muse. i really loved him for the longest, and it persisted when i joined tumblr in 2011 (you wouldn't see this bc i went back and deleted lmao). i didn't start gifing until 2013 and joined fckyeahgd in the same year. i created fybb in summer 2014, vip-net in may 2015. since then, i've done a photobook project and film for their 10th anniversary, a livestream event, giveaways, made gifsets and provided download links. i didn't mind doing all of this while managing other group blogs i was a part of bc i love it. i love doing smth that was worthwhile and what i perceive is beneficial. i provided download links bc i know finding shit in decent quality can be a struggle to gif, these projects bc i know how heartwarming it feels to be a part of something and express how you feel about the boys, access to the vlives+ because capitalism sucks and people can't afford to spend money on what i perceived should've been free, i created an updates blog bc there wasn't officially one, etc.

i've never done any of these things to gain popularity or relevance; a lot of times i'm genuinely shocked when people who i really admire for several years become mutuals with me and say that they're very appreciative of the work that i do. i'm always appreciative of people passing by and saying thank you and ngl, i sometimes don't even grasp that i've done a lot and people see me often because i hardly ever think abt that.

and with that, i think that's why i think it's time. besides being a part of the subbing team, going to their concerts, and translate, i've done almost everything that you can do as a fan. i've definitely learned so much in these past several years and you know, it was a great experience. although yeah, i've encountered many who only stayed mutuals or were cordial because i gave them what they wanted, and there were a lot of fucked up things that i had to deal with especially this past year (the stories i could tell abt the things i dealt with lmao), but overall, i wouldn't have traded it for anything else. i probably wouldn't do 95% of the stuff i do for bigbang. i made so many wonderful friends, some of whom i would honestly do anything for. i wouldn't be as aggressive about calling out and speaking out about the societal issues in our fandom had it not been someone who told me in depth as to why some of the things bb does is an issue. i've inadvertently established my belief about inclusiveness and being a better ally to marginalized people because of them, and i probably wouldn't have been this passionate about politics and even my career path rn if it weren't for bigbang. they mean that much to me.

idk where i'm going with this tbh, but it's time for me to turn in my vip card, indefinitely. i've removed myself from all bigbang related blogs and will be no longer be answering questions regarding bigbang unless i want to. i've mentioned this a few times before, but this time, i'm no longer contributing anything as a vip besides a rogue gifset of them once in a blue moon. i will casually support them whenever they come back and during their solos. besides that aspect, this blog will still be multifandom, and pretty much the same. the only difference is that i will be changing my url too bc i do want to pull the blog on topford.

i think it's time for this katie to go. it hurts a lot, but im really doing this for myself. it's for my mental health and for me to start a new chapter. i hope that other vips will step up to the plate in my place and do not get weary with the hiatus and stay patient. i hope the fandom overall does change in a more progressive direction, and that i did smth worthwhile in that aspect (or so i hope). i will always call myself a vip, and i will never deny it. thank you for sticking by vip me. now onto the multifandom me.
