#the app doesn't exist

[thekinkymadscientist]

I've written a new phone app to control the user.

You don't need to worry about it day-to-day. Don't bother opening it, it just has a single big red button to revoke consent.

But it runs in the background, always. And I can log into it from my computer at any time.

Sometimes, I'll type a few words on my computer. And the next time you open your phone, a few words will flash on the screen -- although after a second or so you'll forget they appeared.

With all the triggers already in your lovely head, I can edit your mind during the day. I'll change your arousal levels, implant thoughts you'll think are your own, give you any command I please.

Of course, you'll enjoy this immensely. I'll tell you to.

So what do you say? Would you like to download it?

“So, babysitting?”

Alberu follows after the delinquent. From the record the vice-principal gave him access to, Cale frequently drinks alcohol, he often gets himself into a lot of fights, and he barely passed his classes at the end of the grading period. The teachers never call on him in class, girls and boys avoid him alike, and he is- supposedly- completely intolerable.

Which is why Alberu Crossman, who’s only a little older yet infinitely more mature has been assigned by the principal (his father) to get the troublemaker under thumb. Cale's father is quite wealthy, actually, and since there isn't much known about the successor to the Henituse family... it'd be bad if he had to be expelled.

Cale scowled. “Yes, babysitting, your highness. Please, leave if you must,” He jeers at Alberu, but internally he thinks, 'No, really. Please leave.' Otherwise, he might get caught in the act.

Of not actually being Cale.

Roksu aims a sour expression at Alberu, who returns it with a more flowery one. Acting as his twin for the day had been easy enough, mainly because being trash is great!- until Alberu Crossman strolled into his lunch period and introduced himself.

He is even following him out of the school to his job. Well, this job is Roksu’s and not Cale’s, but because he can’t ditch work nor can he get glib-tongued Alberu off his tail-

Well shit.

Thankfully, the kids call him hyung. Except Raon, who calls him human. Hopefully Alberu doesn’t look into it too much. If everything goes right, Alberu Crossman will be Cale's problem to deal with tomorrow. As it should have been.

“I didn’t know you liked kids, Cale,” Alberu smiles charmingly, walking side by side with Roksu. “Can you introduce me?” Roksu struggles to not put on his own disarming smile out of spite, instead plastering on a classic Cale Sneer™. It fits on his face perfectly, like he’s playing a character in a play.

They enter the building and ‘Cale’ guides Alberu to a colorful playroom, decked out in toys and a fountain of running water as the centerpiece (A gift from his father, who is still upset that Roksu doesn't visit more often). There’s a tray of fruits and oatmeal on the small table in the corner of the room, except not a soul to be seen. Picking up a bowl of oatmeal and finding the ceramic to still be hot, Roksu almost smiles.

Alberu frowns. Where are the kids he's supposed to babysit?

Roksu tells the empty air, "Come on out."

Three children appear out of nowhere in front of them.

“Hyung!”

“Human! You’re back!”

“Hyung, nya.” On examines Alberu some more.

All of the kids had been revealed the moment that Roksu spoke, as Raon unveiled the invisibility on them.

Raon runs up and grabs Roksu’s hand, who places it on his head, rubbing the black hair comfortingly. “Mm.” Raon beams at the affection.

“Raon, On, Hong,” they each look up at him at the call of their names. “This is Alberu Crossman, he is doing a report on my trashy behavior. Don’t be rude."

All three children become hostile immediately. “He isn't trash!”

On observes Alberu with an intense glare. Raon shifts under Roksu’s hand, his deep blue eyes glinting with magic. Roksu positions him away from the older teen’s view. Raon grips onto Roksu’s pant leg with a vengeance. Hong stares openly, offensive.

Alberu smiles at them.

"I'm visiting with Cale Hyung for today, nice to meet you."

Hong gasps suddenly.

“He-!” On gives her brother a look, and he clamps his hands over his mouth. Alberu feels a deep curiosity, as if something isn’t quite as it seems.

Roksu sighs. It’s going to be a long hour.

At the midway point, Alberu has easily disarmed the children. They look fascinated at the magic he shows them, while Roksu can only rub a palm over Raon’s shoulder as a warning to keep his dragon magic under control. He's still just a child that wants to brag. Everything is going well.

Bang!

“Hey Roksu! How was-“ Cale bursts through the door, bright red hair equipped with a shit-eating grin, wearing clothes far less fancy than his usual. He tenses up, frozen in place when he spots Alberu on the floor, politely sitting "crisscross applesauce" with the children. Roksu narrows a withering glare at his twin.

“… Roksu?”

Alberu looks at ‘Cale,’ sitting next to him, the one he's spent the entire day with, who is trying to send what must be the real Cale into the sun with his eyes.

“Ha… ha?” Cale winces. Roksu wipes his expression from his face.

“Cale-hyung, run! That’s the human’s bad look!” Alberu’s eyes widen as he watches the confirmed real Cale bolt back into the hallway and out of the front door. Alberu whips his head back toward the stranger behind him, who is a perfect replica of the Cale who ran like Hell. Cale has an identical twin?? Since when? Why doesn't he go to school?

Roksu levels an emotionless gaze at Alberu. “Hello, your highness. Don’t mind me.”

Alberu can only watch in astonishment as this stranger walks out of the playroom, with a smooth and deadly gait as he hunts down his twin like a predator would to prey. He recalls the look 'Roksu' gave him and it sends a shiver down the principal’s son’s spine. That gaze held secrets.

Something about this stranger is even more interesting than the sudden appearance of a twin.

On walks up to him, sitting down in his lap and looking into his eyes. “Roksu-hyung will be back soon, nya!” Hong bounds over and sits next to his sister, grinning widely. Raon huffs and looks at the door. He wants his human to come back.

the fact that they made it illegal to make ads louder than programs on tv in 2010 but haven't updated it to apply the same regulation to streaming. who do i have to call.

“The other side” acting as if their girl will make Az wanna live while he wants to die for Elain (imagine thinking this ain’t the most important sign that he loooves her) trying to make it seem like that’s a sign of how wrroooong Elriel are for eo. 💀💀💀

BABESSSSS, the only thing he wants to live for is his flower Elain, and… her OTHER flower. 👀 To taste the nectar. 🌸

(Feyre begging Az to get Elain to safety and Az ignoring her so he could help Feyre).

(Az being willing to risk his and Elain's life for a girl he doesn't know)

(Az giving zero shits about the supposed love of his life as he prepares to run back into danger while injured)

(Az once again not caring about the danger he'd be putting himself in)

What did we learn class?

Az is willing to risk his life for literally everyone and his desire to taste the "nectar" of Elain is really not something special considering he's enjoyed quite the number of others. I wonder how many secret lovers he's had since he met Elain. Your "forbidden love" trope simply turns Elain into a secret just like the rest.

Not to mention he stared at Mor with heat and yearning while Elain sat in the room with him after the events of ACOWAR, that's your idea of love? 🤔

You should be less focused on Az putting another notch in his belt and more concerned with why he put more thought into planning for a snowball fight than how he might have a future with Elain.

Class dismissed.

i'm leaving this blog for a long time if not forever. here's why.

i watched over half the dash, people i've been mutuals with for years, fall for horrific antisemitism in the name of attacking someone i love because they used academic language on a deeply reactionary website that doesn't think genocide requires you to use your brain when thinking about how to stop it.

i watched the word "zionist" get thrown at someone who isn't one in the slightest so many times the definition crumbled until people were using it to mean "i have decided you are evil in a jewish way". i saw them slandered with blatantly antisemitic conspiracy theories saying their family owns property in israel when they don't. i saw people i trusted fall for it and parrot those same theories with no evidence when fact-checking would have taken five? ten minutes? because that's how quick and eager people are to believe in an evil jew.

i used to love this place, this was the place for all of my teenage years and into my early 20s. i'm not deleting my blog, all of my posts will stay up, but i can't look at many of you the same ever again. it will never not make me sick to my stomach.

to everyone who kept their head on their shoulders and/or sent messages of love, concern, and kindness, thank you. your sanity over the last few days has made me feel more sane. for everyone else, i have nothing left to say.

examining a seemingly normal image only to slowly realize the clear signs of AI generated art.... i know what you are... you cannot hide your true nature from me... go back where you came from... out of my sight with haste, wretched and vile husk

[castkorb]

sting and rogue....rogue WILLINGLY giving himself to sting knowing that he would finish the job. so much trust, faith , vulnerability... THEYRE. IN . LOVE.

if mashima had even a fraction of the ft fandom's brain with writing characters the world would be a glorious place...LMAOOO

anon you just fed gasoline to my brainrot I hope you're satisfied

Every time I think how poetic these two and how canon they are not I'm at risk of combustion

Yes, Rogue willingly gave up his power knowing how dangerous it was to Sting because he's the only one he trusts to not succumb to it and very likely hinted because he knows what future Rogue did to Sting and he's set to avoid that ending at any cost and he makes me SICK

But actually I need to talk about Sting too because not everyone realizes he too gave himself up for Rogue (and sabertooth for that matter) in so many occasions, Rogue wants to avoid Sting dying at any cost but Sting IS willing to die for him -and tecnically, he did, but that's a brainrot for another day lmao-

My very favorite example is the Larcade fight of course.

It was set that he needed to win, not for himself -which is a huge estatement, comparing it to Sting during the games- but for the pride sabertooth lost because of what he thinks him, he's set on winning however it takes for the rest of the people there, so much that he even knocked them out to take all of Larcade's attacks on his own

The moment that absolutely breaks me is this one right here, he wasn't thinking about himself during the war, he was thinking about fairy tail of all things, because he needs to repay how they saved his guild

And then Rogue shows up and inmediately demands Sting to eat his power -which makes me think for how long had Rogue planned this out-

And maybe I'm reading far too much into it idk but for a moment Sting looks unsure of taking it, one because he doesn't think he can hold that much power -again, probably compraing himself to Natsu or Gajeel-

but also if you think about it, he knows better than anyone what the shadows mean to Rogue, it must've shocked him how willing Rogue was of just, letting him take them after everything he's been through but then again he must've thought "if he's giving me his power, then that means there's no one else who can do it" and that's enough, that's all he needs to take the magic that is (and was) able to destroy the world in his hands because Rogue asked him to

And then the parallels between future Rogue and Sting, the way Rogue looks completely smitted because he knows, he probably has more confidence than Sting on winning, because he said it himself, if there's anyone who's able to will the shadows or kill them, it's him

but most of all it's the fact that Sting is most likely unaware of this, he's blind to the effect he has on Rogue -and others- and probably just thinks it's his duty to take everything for the sake of others because it's what he deserves for being sabertooth's master -which also it's probably an unconcious thought of "punishing" the sabertooth master that hurt so many people, even if it wasn't him, again, brainrot for another day-

See now I need to call my therapist again

prev reblog saw people in the tags being like "how do you deal with so many notifs" and that's bonkers to me. some people really have notifs on for their apps huh... the answer is you mute everything. phone is not allowed to get stupid red dots on the upper right corner of any app, let alone actually be intrusive with banner notifs👍🏻

[asexualconfessions]

I worry quite often that if I don't find someone else who's a romantic ace like I am...I'll be a disappointment to them and I'll fall out of favor with them-

Like I wanna date so badly but I think especially in HS nobody will ever want me

Idk sometimes I worry that maybe I'm not even good enough and I'm a waste of space like it's gotten to the point this summer where Im afraid of time passing and I've developed some suicidal ideations I wont lie-

(Dunno if this is too much for your confession box my apologies)

Anybody else remember when you could click "contact us" and see a dedicated customer support phone number and email instead of just getting tossed into the death spiral of FAQ page - useless answer - contact us - FAQ page? Remember when you didn't have to go through an entire 3 part hero's journey arc just to communicate to a human being who might actually be able help? Remember when companies had the guts to have proper complaints channels?

Me freakin too dude

[tvuniverse]

Listen i just want to preface this by saying I don't even personally hate Tommy, but that's not really the point i want to make so here goes nothing.

The way a lot of people act as if it's impossible to dislike him because the characters have moved on so so should we, right? and that's the thing right here, as poc we're always being told to move on. We can't express our feelings, we can't hold grudges, we can't complain about issues without making it something more than it is, we always have to just... move on.

I know people are going to say it's just a show, it's not that serious, but the issues it touches on and the way fandom speaks on those issues are.

I've seen a lot of comparisons between Tommy and other mains, how each of them are flawed and have screwed up one way or another, and you're right, but it's still unfair to compare him to them. We've seen each of the main characters experience guilt, or be ashamed of their action, we've seen them apologise, put in the work to actually grow, and they have. There's not enough time in an episode for us to see that for side characters. In this case, Tommy didn't do any of the above and that's normal, he was a plot device to show some very real societal issues, and especially what people of colour/women might go through in the workplace, and once he served his purpose he didn't get much more beyond a few scenes where it seemed like everything was fine between him and chim/hen. It would be more appropriate to compare him to the buckley parents, (who appeared in more or less the same amount of episodes) like if people suddendly started saying no one is allowed to hate them because they got their redemption, their kids more or less forgave them, they more or less tried to be better parents. And yet it's still not enough for a lot of people, because how they treated their children, the shit they've said to them, hits a little too close to home for a lot of people and so no matter what the show says or does, they'll still be mostly hated by the audience, and that's more than okay. But if margaret buckley is your favourite character than by all means be my guest. And listen, i love this show, it's all about hope, and it means everyone gets a redemption arc, as short as it is (sometimes even just a sentence lol), but we won't always be satisfied with these arcs, especially if they don't feel proportional to the hurt the characters may have caused to our mains, so we'll all have different reactions to them.

I swear liking a morally ambiguous/grey character says absolutely nothing about you, but making excuses for them, antagonising people who might dislike them (for good reasons) or acting like suddenly triggers don't exist for people, does say something about you. One of my favourite characters is literally the worst person ever, an actual bigot, but i won't ever write essays about why people are not allowed to dislike him actually because he's my babygirl.. i very much understand why people would.

All of this to say, everyone will have different opinions about Tommy. Some might love him, some will be completely neutral or at worst slightly uncomfortable/bothered by him, and some will straight up hate him, and all of these are fine. Live and let live, love whoever you want to love, and hate whoever you want to hate, but please stop trying to dictate how others should feel, i'm begging. And this really does go both ways.

I have finally conceded that gremlins have eaten my kindle voyage and I do, in fact, need to replace it. It's been more than year of waiting for it to "turn up" interspersed with frantic episodes of looking. It's not happening! It's in the negaverse now.

WHY IS THE EREADER MARKET SO FUCKING TERRIBLE??? ALL I WANT IS A REASONABLY PRICED SMALL-ISH EREADER WITH DEDICATED PAGE TURN BUTTONS.

That's all! I don't need to be able to write on it! I don't need it to play videos! I don't need a big screen! I don't want to pay $200+ dollars. I just want to be able to read long fanfic on an e-ink screen again.
