is it rude to want to cut someone out of your life simply because it has reached the point where neither of you talk to each other and no longer share any interest nor social circles, but nothing bad happened, like. there wasn't anything that made the relationship bad and there wasn't a fight either
#been thinking about deleting my personal Instagram for a while. cut some people off irl#ik they arent gonna try to contact me again if I delete and change accounts#its just gonna be over#and i wouldn't mind#because things just fucking changed a lot since. they really arent the person i used to know. and neither is my old group#and i completely understand people change . i just dont want to keep seeing them#AND ITS REALLY RUDE OF ME TO THINK THIS.#and i know it#but i only miss the old them and can't bring myself to care about the person they are now. and thats even worse i think#it just. sucks in general lol#i dont know who you are#the people we used to dislike hang out with you now. what the hell happened. its not that i dont believe people change or can become-#-friends with whoever. i just wished you had kept talking to me. know how life had changed once i went away#i wish you had kept in touch#you said you wanted to but never had time even though another friend from the same class and with the same workload made time anyways#she was the only one to reach out even if i wasnt there with yall anymore#she cared and talked to me whenever she could and you never did#you reach out now but. i dont feel the connection now#you look so different and i only miss the old you#and its so fucking shitty of me to think that#txt

Hangman [Part 2]
(Daryl Dixon x Reader) Masterlist
Description: Y/N Dixon was to be punished for her husbands actions at the line up. Negan decided to do it in style. Daryl watches you hang before being dragged away. But you had still been alive by the time you were cut down. What will Daryl go through before reuniting with you?
2.8k words
Warnings (Mentions of suicide, gore, ANGST, violence, injury, ect.)
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
Daryl POV
He saw you getting dragged to stand on that wooden box. Noose swinging back and forth in the air. He had threatened and then pleaded when the rope went around your neck. ‘He had done this, the reason for you standing there.’ You were looking at him. A sweet smile on your face. How could you possibly not be furious with him. He was getting dizzy from moving so much and the amount of blood he lost already. He watched the tears slip down your face but then your face straightened and you glared at Negan. How could you look so brave into death?
Negan was still yapping but the ringing in his ears muted most of his words. He registered, “Any last words?” You didn’t even hesitate stating, “See you in hell.” The look in your eye must have been murderous under the bag that been dragged over your head. Negans chuckle in amusement sent his skin ablaze, “Hope I don’t keep you waiting-“ the silence that followed had Daryl’s mind racing to replace the noise, ‘How do I stop this?’ ‘I can’t lose her!’ The abrupt kick from the box under your feet felt like a stab in the heart. He felt like he was watching it in slow motion. Your slow decent to the ground. To hear the rope pull tot again the tree branch above you.
He watch in shock no noise coming out of him. The bounce of the rope tightening around you suspending you in the air. It was Carl he heard the loudest make a pained grunt at witnessing it. Then you were clawing at the rope that suffocated you. Feet dangling and kicking. You had made a surprised yelp at the first impact. It burned into his mind as soon as he heard it. He took a sharp intake of breath for the first time and he mumbled incoherent please through his cry’s.
When your head fell back you then went slack. Your stillness punched all the air out of his lungs. Everyone’s cry’s and faces pulled into disbelief at your now motionless body. Daryl’s eyes remain glued to you. It felt like he was pulled into a sinkhole and had an empty feeling flowing through him. Negan’s proud voice cutting through the noise of grief, “That was like a damn witch hunt! Shit, didn’t think she would be flopping around so much!” He turned to the people shaking on their knees. “Damn, seems to have learned an important lesson finally! We got there in the end though. THEY GET THE SPIRIT AWARD FOR SURE!” Negan turned to Rick, “I JUST GOT A FEELIN’!” Negan yelled prancing around… putting on a show. “YOU PROVIDE FOR ME!” Rick slowly nodded, “SPEAK WHEN SPOKEN TO!” He gulped a flash of light making him squint before speaking, "W-we provide-" Negan nodded with a pleased smile getting what he wanted. He pointed to Daryl, "Load him up."
Daryl had dug his hands in the dirt still staring at your body, looking dazed. He felt them pull him and he only struggled a little, tears streaming down his face, noise unable to release from his tight throat. He couldn't leave you. They throw him back in the truck they had dragged him out of in the beginning. He struggled to get back up so he curled into himself. The door slammed making him jump. His mind getting dragged to flashback of you. The moment you saw each other after the prison. When you first admitted to being in love with him. Remembering when you took his last name as yours.
Till death do us part.
Now that it had happened he couldn’t comprehend it. To live without you. For your existence to simply cease. His grief rolled into anger. At the world, at the saviors, but mostly himself. You had always disliked when he got worked up, ‘It will be the death of you!’ But in the end it was the death of you. You had yelled it at him during an argument. He would have said something back to that if you hadn’t started to get worked up tears shinning in your eyes.
‘Your love for me got you killed.’
He quietly sobbed at the thought. The van he was in started to move. He was being taken to who knows where. Whatever it was he would burn it to the ground with everyone who had hurt you in it, including himself.
He passed out somewhere along the way. Only waking at the feeling of stitch’s digging into his shoulder. He was later stripped of his clothes and put in a dark room. He would sit in the corner huddled together playing with the remaining ring on his finger. That’s when the torture here began.
He was feed poorly. Sleep deprived with a song that play on loop at full volume. He felt weak, sometimes thinking he would hear your voice off into the darkness. He would perk up and cry apologizes to you. Blaming himself, soon your presence turned into a haunting after a rough day. He tried to run but was tricked and beaten. He was on the cool floor hearing your voice ring in his ears, “Your fault. If I never took pity on you I’d still be here! YOU KILLED ME!” He would often pull on his hair to quiet you.
A day later, he was dragged to Alexandria. His face was swollen and he had a remaining shake in his hand. He was in a constant state of fighter flight. When he had got to the gates he couldn’t meet anybody’s eye. They had succeeded in breaking him. But not the way they intended. They broke him to comply. To be one of them. But he continued refusal. They broke him by making his life meaningless. With a sole purpose of destroying the ones who took his love from this world.
He was helping move boxes from Alexandria homes. Rick standing next to Negan near by. Rick had spoke to Carl from the porch, “You should go check on Lori. Make sure that she is okay.” He said it loud enough for Daryl to overhear. Daryl was perplexed at the sentence, was he trying to insinuate something? Lori had been dead for a while now, had he lost it again? Carl chimed in, “I’m sure she is doing fine.” Were they talking about you? There’s no way in hell you would be ‘fine’ after the shit that happened. It was hopeful thinking, he probably didn’t even say Lori and he imagined it.
Rick pleaded for Daryl being able to stay but when asked to make his case he knew he wouldn’t let him go. He also didn’t feel he deserved it. He had looked to his brother, his face screaming he cared. It only made him more guilty. You had cared for him, that’s why you were dead.
That was only solidified more back in his cell. Dwight was on him to join them, that all the torture would be over. Even if he did, the torture would still continue in your absence. Daryl said somethings that struck a nerve, “And be like you? Lettin Negan bang your wife, wow you sure saved her.” Dwight threw the dog food sandwich to the floor, “At least she is still alive.” He threw a polaroid to the floor, slamming and locking the door behind him.
Daryl’s hands were balled up. The burning ache in his chest at the mention of you. He slowly moved for the picture flipping it over. The crack of light coming from under the door revealing the picture. It was you hanging in that tree. He immediately looked away, clutching a hand to his chest. The hard tension of emotion bubbling out. He silently wept while the music changed. How stupid could he have been? To think maybe Rick was suggesting you were OK.
Your POV
Daryl was right about that, you were everything but ok. Alive yes, but struggling. When you had gotten to hilltop you were rushed to the doctor. He had done a endotracheal Intubation, shoving a tube down your throat to assist you with breathing. Maggie held your hand while Glenn pinned you down. You relaxed when it was in place. Breathing fully and properly, your eyes rolled in the back of your head going unconscious. All adrenaline leaving your body, now unable to process the pain and shut itself down.
You woke startled. The intrusion down your throat causing a panic. You pulled it out but struggled to cough to clear your airway. You rolled over the side of the bed letting gravity do it. It was hard to work any muscle in your throat. You felt something rapped around it. Almost like a pillow. It was a neck brace but the feeling reminded you of having the rope around you. The pillow case under you reminding you of the bag. Someone grabbed you and propped you up to sit. It was the doctor. You froze from your panic seeing panicked eyes all watching you. Maggie sat leaning into Glenn’s shoulder with a hand clasped around her mouth.
It was like a slap of reality. Eye contact with everyone in the room. They explained things to you while still a little frazzled. You were asleep for 14-16 hours. Your bottom lip trembled and you waved everyone closer to you. You enveloped people in hugs. You had never been so close to death. You gesture for something to write on. After getting it you wrote, “Is everything Ok?” Sasha who now sat in a chair next to the bed spoke first, “You should get better, only concern was how you would eat.” The doctor chimed in, “The damage to your throat is unknown. I can’t say for sure if you could eat solid foods or even talk ever again.” You rub the tension between your eyes grabbing the paper and writing again.
“Daryl?”
Glenn put a hand to your leg, “He’s alive. You should know the saviors took him before they left.” You ran a hand through your hair eyes closed tight. The burning in your eyes from the need to cry only added to the pressure in your growing migraine. You bit your lip and tried to swallow down the tightness growing in your throat from tears. However, the sensation of gulping made your whole body tense, slamming your fists down at the pain. A shaken inhale coming out of you. Everyone cringed around you. You collected yourself before writing again. “How the baby?” You had pointed the paper to Glenn and Maggie. She smiled, “We’re ok.” You breath in relieved about the first good news.
Then came the recovery. Not just physically but mentally. Any rope, tie, or, string set you off. You now no longer slept with a pillowcase. You had to eat everything in a paste. You’d crush it and dilute it with water. Felt like dog food. You were persistent when it came to asking about updates on Daryl. ‘When were people going after him?’ ‘When are we fighting?’
Everyday with the same answer. To think of what they were doing to him as each day passed. You started to debate going after him yourself. No opportunities presenting itself until Sasha and Rosita went off to kill Negan and hadn’t come back. With everyone distracted by them you follow after them. You left a note that read,
“I’m sorry for not telling you I ran off, but I need to go get Daryl. Anyone would do the same in my situation. So, no being mad when I come back! Preferably with two Dixons.”
You while still unable to talk and less than great ability to even drink water, were going to save your husband. You followed old tracks from the girls. Knife in hand and an empty gun holster. Also a black hoodie that was a few sizes too big, (you stole from Jesus.) You were by far behind in your tracking ability compared to your Husband. You remember all the times you would go with him to hunt. Being out there alone often lead to other activities you will admit. Probably what took you so long to learn. You found a factor type building the near the end of the trail. You would wait until the sun goes down and seeing what you were working with.
You had rounded the building a few times preparing for when it became sunset. You also took notice at a lot of cars that had left. You decided to act while they were gone. There was a lot with cars and to your surprise Daryl’s motorcycle. It seemed empty and unguarded. There was already holes in the fence tied with zip ties. You avoided the walkers attached to the fence. Breaking the zip ties with your knife and sliding through. You quickly and quietly made your way through a side door.
The hallway had minimum lighting. Any door you would pass you slowly open to look inside. Footsteps on the other side of the hall caused you to go up a flight of stairs. Quick to make your way down the upstairs hall when you heard women chatting. Ducking into a room closest to you. Pressing your ear to the door listening for the people to pass. Taking notice of the room there was a big bed, and a jacket all too familiar. You were in Negan’s room. Stepping back outside you paused and looked at the door.
Deciding to carve a little message in his door before continuing your search for Daryl.
____ | | | o | /|\ | | | / \ |_
"_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _."
You made your way back downstairs. Passing door after door until you saw one cracked open. It was another bedroom. You slowly opened it spotting the key to Daryl’s bike. You pocketed it then saw another thing you recognized, Rick’s python. You moved it to your holster while moving back to the door. You ducked your head out of it looking both ways before continuing. Your heart raced every second you were there.
There was 3 doors left at the end of the hall. When opening the first one it opened to reveal a small space that was empty. It was dirty with full brick walls and concrete floor. You moved to the next one but it didn’t budge, it was locked? You moved to the last door and it popped open like the first. You back tracked to the other door and made a small knock against it. Leaning your ear to the door you heard a deep sigh. Someone was locked in one of these small rooms. Inhaling and hoping it was Daryl. You looked around again to make sure no one was coming.
Jamming your knife in the key hole and pulling out a Bobby pin from the back of your head. You were used to lock picking doors open since all the scavenging you’ve done. It was a habit to always have it on you. You fiddled with the lock looking around from time to time. When you finally got it to turn and unlock you put the pin back and held your knife out for whatever was behind the door. The door slowly opened light illuminating the dark room with a beaten and dirty Daryl. Your heart dropping. He was sat down staring at the floor squinting from the light. You slowly feel to your knees.
He looked up seeing you. A mix of a panicked and heart breaking look flashing across his battered features. You put a finger to your lips telling him to be quiet. You crawl over to him and grab his face. He leaned into you making your heart feel strained, ‘what have they done to him.’ Daryl whispering apologies, “It’s all my fault… god I love you.” His hands hovering over your face. You leaned over to lay your head in his hand. He seemed surprised at the contact. He leans forward looking at your face searching your eyes. His hand traveling down gently to your neck his eyes catching a sight glimpse of the bruise around it before you flinched at the contact to it. He breath comes out ragged,
“Y/N?”
You nuzzle your face in his and leaning down to give him a quick kiss on the lips. He was looking at you with amazement. You grabbed him by the arms and tried to get him to stand, trying to hint that you both needed to leave.
You were going to get him out of here.
Part 3
Next part is final! Feedback welcome and requests always open! What do you think the Hangman game spelt?
This feels like I wrote it poorly so apologies.

I do not mean to be (very) self-aggrandizing here and I'm mentioning this as an aside rather than directly engaging not out of disrespect but because I don't want to hijack someone else's post and make it about me. But it is both validating and frustrating that after I and many other people clocked that this campaign was largely driven by forces much larger than the characters, that we were spending a lot of time with past characters, that Bells Hells weren't checking in with each other nearly to the extent as past parties even when given the opportunity, and that the story surrounding Delilah in particular was underdeveloped and a little aimless at like. episode 40 at the latest, it's wild to see people come to this realization now.
Like it's not bad! I agree! I do like the campaign for what it is (and I do happen to really enjoy the current plot now that it's moving quickly and got political), and because I dropped my expectations of having a campaign that hit the same way C1 or C2 do long ago, but it is unmistakably ranked third in the CR campaigns for me for all of these reasons. But yeah man a lot of us arrived at this point literally years ago irl and we were told we were bitter haters and in fact we just were quicker on the uptake.
This does tie back a little to my posts about Otohan or Poska or even my early posts about not liking FCG, which is that it is good, healthy, and intelligent to say "this thing isn't working for me" at the time that it isn't working instead of extending boundless and limitless credit. Either it will get better (FCG) and you can change your mind and you won't be exhausted by holding in all your frustrations in the service of pointless positivity; or it will not (Otohan) and you were right. Let yourself express dislike instead of lecturing people for disliking things; it is good for you and you will feel better. Anyway I'm going to try to avoid smugness like this until the end of the campaign proper (no promises), but actually my main point really is that if you're being a quote unquote hater right, you are extending the precise correct amount of benefit of the doubt. You aren't writing things off prematurely, but neither are you hanging on forever only for your frustration to curdle and sour; you're saying 'it is what it is, and I'll deal with that, but I'd like to express some complaints.'

Shadowbringers took Emet-Selch from ARR Lahabrea levels of mustache twirling, Saturday Morning Cartoon villain. All monologue and evil laughter while his evil boobs malevolently boobed down the Post-Stormblood's darker breast boobily and changed him into an actual character. And the first Ascian who actually spent time with us in a more meaningful way. Flipping them from one note, evil that must be defeated. To one we came to understand and a group that connected to our character's literal past reincarnation that we do not recall.
Additionally, atmospherically, Shadowbringers brought us to Post-Apocalypse that wasn't 28 Days Later, Mad Max or Rapture-esque. While pulling from all those series. Its a world 100 years after the Apocalypse was averted but still causes the world to live in its shadow.
This expansion seems to be the beloved darling of the community. Even topping Heavensward in most regards. But, also, personally, I feel like Shadowbringers is only good Shadowbringers for the last three levels of it. And rest is just so much set dressing and putting together the A-Team. For lack of a better comparison, 70 - 79 is our Avengers Infinity War. We get the band back together, fight off the big bad and actually almost win. But then we lose and we lose HARD and we spend a handful of quests somewhat wandering aimlessly until we resolve to go after the one who took victory away from us. That lead up, to me, is alright but the story didn't really HIT, outside of my long winded story analysis reasons, until we reach Amaurot.
Even its Post-Patches seemed to struggle to figure out what to do. Having Elidibus bounce hither and thither without the Scions really trying to stop him because, "We don't know what he is up to." which was counterproductively frustrating to me. You are literally not stopping and banishing the villain so the plot can happen. Alisaie literally kept tabs on the Warriors of Darkness because we were focusing on dealing with Nidhogg. Why the hell couldn't they have kept tracked and harassed Elidibus at least? But no, the sky starts to shower stars and then it is go time. And while To the Edge and the Seat of Sacrifice are awesome. My suspense of disbelief that our Scions would just shrug and only off screen keep tags on lesser Ascians and then just be like, "I dunno fellas, this here Elidibus is tricky." strikes me as dense. Like, this is denser than a dead star. They let things happen for the sake of it happening.
Bottomline, there is some wiggle room here. Shadowbringers may be the community's darling. But I wonder if, its just because we remember the super highs of Amaurot to Seat of Sacrifice. And kind of brush things like; the Ran'jit fights, the Supernatural problem of Lucifer's Cousin's Roommate being the big bad in Lunar Primals, Thancred's treatment of Ryne and Speedrunning him some redemption in the Amh Araeng second half.
I'm rambling now, as a whole. Did you enjoy Shadowbringers? If not why? Vote your answer and leave your opinion in the tags if you'd like.
Note: I am aware that the Post-Patch production was stunted by the COVID Pandemic. Still, I'd like your opinion about anything you felt lacking. Even with that dead whale hanging over the entire thing.

"how does the god-tier trio show affection?"
long over due lol
John
shows love through quality time and acts of service
he would spend a lot of time with his s/o simply hanging out together while doing stupid shit lol
he isn't so easy to trust, so it takes a lot of bonding together for him to really open up towards you.
once he does like you, doing things for you is sort of a way to show his worth, since he's used to people overlooking him.
abandoning him...
though he's not the best cook, nor a good tutor, and is more likely a patient than a caregiver... he really does try for you.
anything from tidying up or carrying your bag for you is a gesture of love to him. making your day just a bit brighter is an achievement in his books.
who knows? he might even teach you some of his secret boxing techniques. you're welcome, honey!
personally, i think he's an anxious attachment style that shifts towards disorganized attachment as the story progresses. especially when analyzing his relationship with seraphina.
he puts you on to a pedestal and can only pray he doesn't ruin it all due to his... everything. it's been so long since he felt like this about someone. he can't destroy it.
even if destruction is all he knows how to do.
he's extremely hyper vigilant of your needs. it's sometimes a good thing, when he's so observant of your likes, dislikes, and what makes you comfortable or uncomfortable.
but, as we saw in the webtoon, if his perspective shows you getting distant from him or getting closer to others, or god forbid both...
...yeah he's ripping his hair out and foaming at the mouth.
therefore, he receives love best through words of affirmation.
he quite literally needs you to tell him he's doing okay and that everything will be alright. he often gets lost in a hell of his own creation, spiraling down into it.
your words make it better. you make him better. that's why he loves you.
Seraphina
shows her love through quality time and words of affirmation
by analyzing her relationship with john, it all starts with just a chance given.
just the chance of having a conversation, or being next to one another, or understanding each other's mindsets.
she doesn't fall in love easily, not by any standards, but that's really all it takes. just a chance.
she isn't one to do all the mushy pet names and "I love you"s, but she's also not shy about her love for you, making sure that you know that, especially when you're feeling down.
whenever you're feeling sad, she'll be the one to take you out of that mindset. need her to solve the problem? she's got you. need to just vent and have her listen? she's all ears. just need someone to cry on? to tell you it'll be okay? she's there for you.
that being said, in my book, she's a secure attachment style with avoidant tendencies.
for starters, she isn't codependent by any means, actually, she's rather hyper independent. she's always done things by herself, solved her own problems, wiped her own tears. her self reliance and negative view of others is best illustrated during her perfect era flashbacks. (why does this sound like my apush essays...)
but, from the beginning of the webtoon till now, she's been able to settle into a secure attachment style.
she isn't insecure, but not dismissive. she's adamant about her own feelings, but doesn't disregard others. she doesn't like conflict, but won't run from it.
overall, she's a very healthy girlfriend. despite dealing with her own problems, she tries not to let that affect you and your relationship.
however, she isn't perfect, and sometimes she spirals. and when that happens, she receives love best through quality time.
actions speak louder than words and knowing that you're there for her makes whatever she's going through that much more manageable. she finds, over your relationship, that you've become her peace of mind.
Arlo
guys dw i know my man from personal experience
he shows love through acts of service and giving gifts.
first of all, don't tell me this man wouldn't be lowkey spoiling his partner, whether they need it or not. he smells of rich people and he most definitely is spending it on you. not in a sugar daddy way, but in a "i love you, and this is how you know it," sort of way.
in a way, we can see this behavior from him in the comics, but very subtly. its less that he's doing something for someone to make them happy, and more in a way that the actions he takes shows that he cares about others.
after his ambush of john in season one, he tells elaine to heal melli and ventus first before him, the designated king. he warns seraphina about the authorities looking for her, allowing her to escape their grasp. when the siege of wellston happens, it's blyke and him that sacrifice themselves to help isen, remi, and john.
helping you, whether directly or indirectly, is how he shows how much he cares about you. besides that, i think he would give you lots of gifts.
i don't have any analyses to back this up, i'm just pushing my sugar daddy arlo agenda.
okay, walk with me, imagine you and arlo, on a date, at the mall. you look around and people carry shopping bags in their hands with joyous smiles on their faces. you look through your wallet and... a fly buzzes out. you feel your eyes start to sting as embarrassment and disappointment swell deep inside. suddenly, you feel a hand at your waist. "don't worry, baby [girl/boy/boss baby]. i got you.", arlo says, handing you his black card.
seeeee? you get it.
he's definitely an avoidant personality style. hyper independent? check. avoid emotional intimacy? check. hides or suppresses feelings? check.
we see this throughout the webtoon and can even just infer it. the moment we're introduced to him, arlo is king. he's the one people go to when they don't know what to do. he's the one that leads the turf wars and keeps wellston's ranking high. he's the one that put the school back together after rei's graduation and who kept it together once seraphina exited the hierarchy.
when everyone is relying on you, who do you lean back on? that's right, no one. he keeps almost everyone at a distance, even those he cares about such as holden and elaine(i guess?). he doesn't listen to isen's warning in season one, why should he? in his mind, at the time, the only person who he could listen to was himself.
and look at what happened. yikes. wouldn't want that on my conscious. but arlo does, he regrets and regrets, and asks "what if?" so much that it no longer sounds like a real sentence. just syllables bouncing off the edges of his mind. sometimes, he just needs to hear you say he'll be alright.
like john, arlo receives love best through words of affirmation. I guess when you're so stressed without a direction on what you're doing and where you're going, someone reassuring you that you're doing it all right eases the mind. or maybe not just that you're doing it right, but that it's okay to do it wrong. mistakes are human, and no matter how strong any of us are, we're only human. hearing that from you... it means everything to him.
#michixoxo#unordinary#unordinary arlo#unordinary headcanons#unordinary john#unordinary seraphina#why are my arlo headcanons so long omfg#i'm actually insane over him#he's so babygirl#why am i good at analyzing fictional characters but not us history...

AITA for not smiling at my roommate?
So this is from back in September ofc but whatever I'm here now. So me (18nb) and my 7 roommates (all ~18F) are all college freshmen sharing a dorm suite (4 bedrooms, 2 people in each) and we're mostly all strangers to each other except for two separate sets of besties. Only one set is relevant here and that's N, my roommate, and K, the focus of this story.
So our first month of school and living together went pretty well! We were all getting along and hanging out, walking to classes and going to dinner together. And then out of nowhere K texts our groupchat, asking for a "family meeting" that evening. Which stresses everyone out obviously, because what the hell could have happened? Was she okay??
Anyway long conversation short- she called a meeting to tell us that she felt we were excluding her and that some of us were being purposefully rude and unfriendly to her.
She would go to her twin sister's suite (yes they were in separate suites) to hang out a lot, so if we were doing something we wouldn't interrupt her, and i guess she felt excluded from that?? We didn't do much though. And there was a conversation we had in her room with her roommate but without K, but that was just a coincidence because we all heard drama(unrelated) and flocked over there, and K wasn't in the suite. She walked in on the middle of our convo, we said hey and continued, then she left. But she said she specifically felt excluded here???
And for being rude, this was partially directed at her bestie N, but mostly our roommate C and maybe me. C and I were sitting next to each other and K just gestured at us at first. Supposedly N was ignoring her, but N had told me before that she felt like K was being cold to her, ignoring her texts and such. Specifically C and I apparently weren't greeting and smiling at her when we saw her? I couldn't think of a time this happened so I'm pretty sure this is directed at C, but we'll get to me in a sec. C definitely was a bitch (but that's irrelevant here) but she said something about having a hard life and not being a smily person AND that the specific instance that K brought up, C didn't say anything to her bc she thought that K had fallen asleep on the living room couch.
So back to me, i might have been rude and just not realized it? I don't have a very large smile and I'm quiet, but i also have a reputation for being a huge bitch. If i don't like someone, i don't hide it unless i have to (like if I'm forced to work with them or they're a teacher or etc) I didn't quite dislike K yet though, but she had made some strangely classist comments towards me (don't know how she clocked that i was the poorest of us) and seemed uncomfortable after i confirmed that I'm bi (she saw a rainbow flag on the desk and asked, she doesn't know about the gender lol) but yeah so i was starting to dislike her, but i didn't really know what to make of her yet. Point is, i totally could've been rude at some point and just not realized/ forgot.
Anyway anyway, she presented her issues, we rebutted them, she left the room a little upset, her twin sister comes in and starts yelling at us for upsetting K, we get mad at the twin because this is none of her business and we think K is overreacting. Eventually we give a half-hearted apology to K (sorry that you felt hurt, we didn't do anything intentionally) and K apologizes for it going so far. K's distant for the rest of the year and none of us try to bridge that gap.
So i guess this is less "was i the asshole before this" and more "am i the asshole now" for not reaching out and definitely excluding her and being rude to her after she called this meeting. We're not gonna share a suite regardless (upper classmen dorms are smaller) so this is just for my piece of mine.
(Also, she's a business major)
What are these acronyms?

i am jealous with marin garrix . Thats it .Now i am 200%sure that i don't like anyother ship except carlando . I used to like martin alot but not anymore . Am i mental😭😭??
Hey, I'm going to lump the additional ask below into this post because I think you also sent it, though apologies if not.
Regarding the first ask, I think you're totally entitled and allowed to purely not vibe with people. You don't have to find a reason not to like someone. Lord knows there are plenty of people I just am "meh" about without being able to give you a concrete answer as to why (Also, I think trying to find a reason can lead to people creating false facts in order to justify their dislike, which leads nowhere good). This seems like a case of just not vibing with someone to me because as far as I'm aware, nothing "problematic" has occurred, especially in regards to Lando. It's clear they really care about each other and trust one another with their circles of friends, so make of that what you will in terms of judging character. What I would recommend if you haven't done so, is to simply filter Martin's name and his and Lando's shipname to save yourself the negative feelings (I promise it really helps).
Regarding the second ask, I just don't really agree, sorry. Lando's a self-sufficient adult, and I don't personally think he relies on any one person for attention. In the last few years, it has been very rare for Carlos or Lando to post about being with one another even when they are together. A lot of the content we get of the two of them comes from fans rather than themselves. Sometimes we hear it from them that they've hung out as well after the fact (e.g., sunset golfing in Austin last year and breakfast in Australia this year (before we got the lando.mov post) to name a couple). Just because they don't post it on social media, doesn't mean they aren't talking or hanging out. I know you presumably don't vibe with Martin, but hell, Lando rarely posts about him either anymore, and they are together a decent amount for how busy they both are.
So no, I don't think you're mental as the first ask puts it, but I think it's important to take a step back sometimes and remember not everything we see on social media (including fan-to-fan interactions like here on tumblr) is the end-all-be-all. I don't think anything has monumentally shifted in Carlos and Lando's relationship (take everything that happened and was said in Australia as a recent example), and I don't think Martin or Rebecca is the root cause of anything.
#Like I've mentioned before I am still a ride-or-die Carlos/Lando person. I have written over half a million words about them#twitter yells about a ''carlando divorce'' every few weeks (or at least they did while i was still actively on it)...#... and i know how frustrating that gets to see it.#ask

this is a prompt. give us the nancy tea (re that steddie/buckingham post)
soooo glad you asked I’ve been waiting for this one.
ALSO!! gonna preface this by saying nancy is a teenage girl and we all know how the world loves to shit on them for just being teen girls so I will say when it comes to stuff like her being slut shamed in S1 or the newspaper guys in S3 I would kill and maim for her just so we’re clear. n e ways…
I lowkey highkey think nancy sucks because I feel like she doesn’t treat the people in her life as well as she should, especially steve and jonathan. In S1 she ditches barb a lot to hang out with steve and obviously that goes to shit and she feels bad about it because that’s such a horrible thing to happen but I feel like if it didn’t happen that way she wouldn’t have learned? (I haven’t watched S1/2 in a while so bear with me) Then in S2 I think the way she treats steve is really shitty and yeah he is a dick at times but he’s doing his best and he’s had some redemption since S1 and is genuinely trying to be a good guy. like nance did not have to call him bullshit and let her resentment towards him build without saying anything to him and then immediately get with jonathan asap (not to mention jon was taking weird photos of her in S1???) not to mention that it’s all placed on STEVE to get over her and be ok with her doing whatever she wants because she’s already over him. am I projecting erm maybe moving on.
I don’t like how when she’s with jonathan it feels like she starts to not care about him either and we can see that especially in S4 (what is it with the wheeler siblings and kinda not treating their partners well) and we can tell jon is really fucked up about it when he’s always been pretty nice to nance (I do think he should’ve talked to her about it but yknow). the way she treats robin in S4 doesn’t sit right with me and now we’re getting to the meat of ronance because she doesn’t seem to like robin all that much like she doesn’t really pay attention to her and she seems to dislike robin not in a compelling clashing personalities way but (it feels like to me) in a not liking robin as a person way. i don’t feel a spark between them I sense no chemistry tbh. robin seems to like her but in a friendly way and even then she’s heard about how nancy treated steve and I don’t think she would get with his ex. (the S4 stancy revival is a whole other can of worms that I hate)
also in general I just don’t like nancys character hfkshdj she is not compelling to me personally so take all this with a grain of salt I’m not saying everyone should dislike her I’m just saying I think she gets too much hype and the Fruity Fourification of S4 is unfortunate. I don’t think people should make nancy a villain/antagonist especially in order to get steddie together because like??? what the hell is that all about?? but I will say that I don’t think nancy has learned anything about how she treats people and it feels crazy to say that the series has been too lenient on her considering everything she goes through but in terms of interpersonal relations I feel like she hasn’t grown that much and she needs to.
if anyone wants even more elaboration lmk I could talk about this for days

📝 (First Impressions) Clara / Phoenix
Their first impression: "Who the fuck is Cass hanging out with now? Got a fucking mouth on her that make half the station back home flush red."
Their current impression: "She takes on way too much around here, but I'm no better. This town would fall apart if we didn't have someone like her to rely on."
What they like the most about your muse: Clara is one of the strongest people that Phoenix knows, she's quick to take charge of a situation and keep her cool. He's grateful for everything she's done for Jay, trusting her completely with her.
What they dislike the most about your muse: That she seems to carry around so much guilt and expectations for herself. He wishes she'd be a little more selfish and take some time for herself.
What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.): Family
A general opinion of their relationship: Phoenix is proud of how far Clara has come over the years, he couldn't be happier that she and Jamie reconnected. He's honored to get to be the one to walk her down the aisle and is hoping she'll be more open to letting others carry some of the load for her.
If applicable, something they wish to reveal: "I miss them too, and I know how you feel about that night. You were in a bad place and like hell would I ever judge ya for it. Neither of us blame you for what happened and they wouldn't either. I know they'd both be damn proud of you."

A Paltry "Defense" of RHATO (From someone who actually kind of hates RHATO) Part 1
Initial disclaimer: I'm not kidding when I say I don't like it. Frankly, the issues are a fucking incoherent mess, everyone is out of character most of the time to a downright disrespectful degree, the art is.... ugh, yeah, most of the storyline is racist as all hell, and it legitimately is a significant reason why I quit comics for like, 10 years and pcrtiallystcrs can vouch for me on that bcs they were there, we despaired together about it all and especially for all the lost potential of a team up I was genuinely excited for. That said, this particular post is a lot less negative towards it than I expected it to be, but I make no such promises for any/all the future ones. That said I haven't read RHATO:Rebirth yet & I forced myself through the 52-verse version like an idiot of a man walks into a minefield. I am currently doing a sort-of mostly-targeted reread for the sake of these posts. This got way longer than I anticipated it would because I like to Works-Cited my shit rather extensively, so we are very much getting a whole series lmao.
Part 2: People/relationships are weird and your strict boxes are unrealistic, and Roy Harper.
That said some of you people have taken your haterism so far you're just, fucking atrocious to your fellow fans and either you haven't read it yourself (which, honestly? fair) or you're willfully misremembering things just to attack people who did find something they liked about it. Like, I hate to be all "read a fucking comic" but in this instance I'm going to say: If you're trying to present yourself as if you actually know something about a specific comic/run, then for the love of all that is good and kind in the world, fucking read the damn thing yourself.
Also, in doing my research for this and trying to come up with my own complaints that I can recall outside of what ppl have sent, I've come to a revelation: Most of you (and fans back in the day) either Don't know 52 is a reboot, don't actually understand what a reboot is, don't understand the scope of n52's reboot (which, again, fair, I don't think half the writers even knew), or are in too much denial to accept the actuality of one. Some of the biggest complaints I come across are fundamentally just people complaining that Post-Crisis wasn't their canon bible anymore. And like, I get it, and it was very much a "soft reboot" meaning a lot of key storylines were kept and others weren't, some characters got total overhauls and some didn't, which gets confusing. But, to me, it looks like if you complained that the Tom Holland Spiderman Movies don't acknowledge things that happened in the Tobey Maguire movies as part of their continuity. Less drastic of a reboot it may have been... it was still something hanging over the whole Branding. You can call it a bad reboot, that's fine. That's probably even true and I won't argue it. But there are some things that like... It makes me think about how quickly DCU adaptations jump to the Death of Superman, or how quickly the MCU jumped into Civil War despite not having built up enough of an on-screen basis for the Avengers being friends before splitting them up. Or why TV shows have so much of shorter seasons and people complain about "filler" episodes. I understand the impatience of wanting to get to your favorite parts, but sometimes you have to give a story some grace until it gets there. Now, that's more of a general statement overall, I'm not saying N52 "gets good" at any point, nor am I saying everything there is bad, but there's a reason most ppl dislike it and it's semi-re-retconned in Rebirth. At the same time, though, this is comics. There's always a bad run you don't like, authors who completely fuck up the characters and wreck them for decades to come (coughmorrisoncough), and so forth. What makes N52 so prominent with it is that it was like... a shitton of these all at once. Could n52 have ever given us satisfaction?
Are you kidding? This is comics, no one is ever happy.
Without further ado,
FBAT (Frequently Bitched About Topics):
In light of my prior statement, let's start with the most relevant, and most common, complaint to which my initial lecture applies to: "Lian doesn't exist."
Roy Harper debuted as Speedy in 1941. Lian was written into existence in 1986, and killed in 2010, Red Hood and the Outlaws started in 2011. That's 45 years of established history before Lian, 24 with her, a year (at best) after her death.
I am not about to tell you that she's not important to Roy, Her existence spans a little over a third of his, but, do you guys complain when they write a Teen Titans flashback comic and she doesn't exist? Because, well:

I went back and hunted this one back down and I was wrong, it was on comicvine, Right Here.
So, yeah. Officially speaking she doesn't/didn't exist... Yet.
It's a reboot with wonky timeline shenanigans (I mean, weren't Dick and Bruce barely 10 years apart IF THAT in 52???). The RHATO/N52 timeline as it stood simply pre-dated Roy and Cheshire's relationship*, thus inevitably also Lian. I understand that it doesn't feel like it makes sense, but if you can suspend your disbelief enough to accept the idea that there are guys out there connected to the literal embodiment of speed itself and this allows them to alter reality at will-or even on accident-to comic book nonsense, then I think we can all agree that that action also causing the exact order of certain events to get shuffled isn't so far-fetched. *I'll talk more about Cheshire in a bit because there's a LOT to unpack there and I will need to get into her history both pre- and post- Flashpoint to fully relay my points.
IDK, I love Lian but I've always considered this to be the weakest argument, bcs it feels like it fundamentally misunderstands the concept of reboots and adaptations.
Also, if somebody has exact references for Roy's age when he gets Lian do let me know I was having a hard time finding something concrete, but, I'm always hesitant around the description of Roy as a "teen dad," because I feel like the connotations of that term imply he was a few years younger than he was. Like, if we assume the Fab 5 are all around the same age, Dick was 18/19 when he left Gotham (I'm pretty sure in canon Dick's exact words were "you couldn't handle a 19 year old partner" but we'll leave some grace room)/Jason was adopted at 12 (1983). And I'm not sure how it translated into comics-time, but IRL time Jason died in 1988, two years after Lian was first revealed (as above, 1986), at 15. So I mean at the YOUNGEST Roy would have been about 19, but may have been more early 20's as the "Teen" Titans were vaguely in the vicinity of dropping that title, but some of their younger members did still qualify for it despite others being no longer actual Teens. And Roy was, y'know, a Gov't agent at the time.
So like, yeah, he's a young, single dad. It's still a really uncertain age for parenthood and still a really interesting thing to explore especially with the vigilantism and his government jobs. He also though is very much not alone, Jade brings up in the Birds of Prey run how much she hates that Dinah gets to be there and support her daughter and the fact that Roy regards her so highly and gets advice from her while she... doesn't.
But that's a whole different topic.
Speaking of... "Cheshire's depiction is really racist and it feels like it diminishes her character."
Yeah. I'm not going to try and "justify" any of that, but... she's always been layered in racist depictions.
How do I put this lightly... Pre-Flashpoint Jade Nguyen was a "French"-Vietnamese woman whose alleged biological father was actually American senator who was separated from her family at the age of ten who wandered around the Far East for "many years" until she was abducted & sold into slavery in the Middle East as a child where she eventually killed her master, then was taken in by a Chinese freedom fighter, then married an African assassin who used poisons when she was sixteen and killed him two years later after learning everything he knew from him, and then went on to eventually nuke a Middle-Eastern country because she thought Western governments would "privately applaud" her for it while blackmailing them for money. ... I don't even know where to begin with how tangled this bullshit is, so I'm just not gonna. On a lighter note: she has a half-brother who works for Checkmate and at one point Roy went and saved the guy partly just to invite him to Lian's birthday party. It was SUCH a cute comic bcs it was narrated as if Roy was telling the story to Lian. It was in like, DC Showcase '95 #8.
Sources: Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #4
Birds of Prey #65
Deathstroke the Terminator #19-20
I know we like to focus things on her relationship with Roy & Lian, but, yeah she very much was a Dragon Lady stereotype who does a lot of fundamentally bad or questionable things and is labelled as a terrorist and frequently referred to as "insane" or "psychotic" or "sociopathic," often attributed to her time/trauma as a child slave. Wally called her "that Chinese girl" when she showed up in NTT despite her... not being Chinese, though when Roy did find her afterwards she WAS in Hong Kong (and in a LITERAL DRAGON-PATTERNED QIPAO).
NTT #21 (also wild how much lighter her skintone gets when she's supposed to be sympathetic. Her skin was even darker EARLIER IN THIS SAME ISSUE. You could say it's a lighting thing but...):
Now, RHATO's Cheshire was a different flavor of... whatever she is, and to be honest I think at least some of the racist portions were, hrm, more circumstantial? Incidental? Not a justification, but let me explain what I mean:
RHATO Annual #1
Which BTW was Not Lobdell. No, this little, whatever, is the fault of James Tynion IV, as is all of her subsequent appearances in this series.
So right off the bat I'm reminded of like, female Bond villains and similarly related femme fatales, which is I think what he was going for. Especially when you juxtapose this with the Orientalism in the rest of the comic, this stands out to me and not as strictly racially-coded to me? Ironically (or not?), this actually feels like... applying a racist (and sexist) caricature from/for the wrong like, race. She looks a lot more... Faux-African Tribal Cariacature?
And the way she talks???
Like I'm not saying she should sound... idk, that like racist asian way of speaking a lot of things do but I keep reading her lines in a SoCal accent and I don't know what to do with that. She sounds SO American high school mean girl. She could be one of the Heathers. Who is this woman????
Of course, the fact that she is* Vietnamese and that the Dragon Lady stereotype exists does just kind of, make this into that vaguely by nature? This also sets it up for her and Roy to have a relationship in the far future, a bit, by clumsily establishing attraction. Meanwhile Roy in the first images is uncomfortable bcs a) he has a girlfriend b) Cheshire is a threat to his friends and he's already super off balance c) his beloved friend group is falling apart even without this interference and he's afraid of being alone d) also... "Green Arrow" was there, with a naked face, which I know I personally found very deeply disturbing. * probably still canon here?
Horrifying though this may be for me to say... she might be one of the... less racist parts of this series? Between the All-Caste and what they do to the League of Assassins? But also Specifically Ra's Al Ghul and Shiva and I think they made Bronze Tiger into a literal tiger?
Which, actually, related: You know at first I really hated putting her origin in the LOA, bcs I really like the fact/idea that she's, y'know, her own entity with absolutely no ties to them, really aiding the "not every assassin is always the League" that I feel happens sometimes? But, like? Hrm. Rereading that paragraph about her prior origins? ... Maybe there are worse things.
Her characterization does get a bit more sympathetic at least, as you can kind of see her weird murder-flirting somewhat shift into possibly actually starting to like Roy:
So, I'm going to be honest with you: It does feel like a downgrade. She seems almost... childish? Going back to how she talks like a far more murder-y teenaged mean girl. She's not what I WANT Cheshire to be but, in the grand scheme of horrific personality retcons (coughmorrisoncough) this is honestly pretty mild and somehow less racist than I anticipated, especially as it does make more of a point to sympathize with her. I mean, not great and that's definitely a whole other kind of probably specifically racist stereotype for villain ladies (feels a little "simple savages" I think) but it's not Morrison-tier. It is, however, a godawful way to be introduced to her and I sincerely would hate for this to be your first experience because like, I think she's only tolerable because I've seen how much worse it could be.
Anyways after this we don't hear from Cheshire until it's revealed in Nightwing v4 #43 by Michael Moreci that she did get around to seeing Roy again and having a relationship that fell apart, which presumably(?) leads to Lian. Or would have had Rebirth not re-confused the timeline (albeit probably for the better?)
Which, mind you, ugh, this really just goes that Roy being treated like a fucking Joke goes weeeeell beyond RHATO and proximity to Jason, unlike some people like to say, but this is long enough that that absolutely will have to be a separate post. Probably all by itself lmao.
Anyways, she had a couple other appearances in n52 but I don't consider them relevant to this post since we're focusing my run topics to just the two... Ignore my extensive discussion & pulling from other pre-52 runs THEY'RE FOR COMPARISON.
If you want more RHATO analysis particularly based on common complaints that you would like to see either challenged or supported with extensive degrees of evidence so you can feel that sense of superiority that comic fans are all a little obsessed over without having to actually read the damn thing yourself, you can send me the specific topics in the replies Here or to my inbox.

Before we talk about our next adventure, let me get this out of my system first:
Something is off with Kai I tell you. With the lack of a gameplay-Trailer and the fact that the last two CVs were only scenes from the Opening with voiceover lines that might not even belong to that scene I am kind of worried. Its not just that. This is Falcom, not Square Enix we are talking about. So how high are the chances that we get the Agnes-Grendel-Thingy revealed and that actually truly is something that happens at the end of the Game? Elaine got impaled in one of the later Trailers for Kuro 2 too and this ended up being right at the beginning of the game and just started a series of... events. So what if SOMETHING Major happens, relatively early on in the game that might involve Agnes-Grendel and whatever happens afterwards is somehow so much of a spoiler, that they can not show us any more scenes from the game, because than we could guess whats going on because of... the environment? Or a change in cast? Or... something like this? I just feel like something is off. The overall advertisement for Kai was the worst we ever had. I even saw people from the Japanese side of the fandom complain about the lack of a gameplay-, story- or character-introduction-Trailer. I mean... its less than 4 weeks at this point and I feel like we barely know anything mayor about this game. The biggest surprise was the Agnes-Grendel-thing and that could very well be a red herring. So what the hell is going on? I was worried at first that they might not make it to the release date, but they still advertise the pre-order-bonuses with the release date written all over it... so I guess that is not the case?
Than there is the Sky the first Remake beeing revealed and I am happy about it. I think its a great chance for new people to find their way into the fandom. Heck, I've heard a famous YouTuber who just recently said: "I don't play Anime-Games. I am over 30." (Which honestly made me dislike him a lot, while I did like him before....) is supposedly saying he might consider playing this game. Which is great. The Trails-Fandom could get A LOT bigger with this Remake. BUT there are some thing that bug me a bit. First of all: Switch only for now? WTF?! I do love my Switch, but I do not like it for JRPGs. For games like this I prefer other platforms with... uh... a better performance and uh... the ability to play it on my PC, either directly or via PSRemote. And while I am probably one of the few people using PSRemote, I do know most people prefer their RPGs on a different console or PC too. The next is the voice cast. I am a bit worried about too many changes do to the fact that some of the voice actors might be retired by now or are way too expensive for a game that likely (and hopefully) has a few more voiced lines than the original. Speaking of voiced lines, since Falcom DOESN'T EVEN KNOW who will handle the western release, there is a hight chance that we will not have English voices at all. Which would make A LOT of people reconsider playing this game. This game could be a breaking point for Falcom and the Trails-Fandom and I feel like they are taking way too many risques. Not to mention that they just said that there will only be a Remake for the second Sky game if the first sells well, which is on one hand understandable from an economic standpoint BUT we do know the ending of the game. How can they leave possible new fands hanging with this ending? Most won't find it good enough to get the old Sky SC just to get Joshua and Estelle back together. So... yeah... I really don't know what to think about all that.
And between Kai and Sky and being back to work, I am in a really weird state right now ^^'
We will start Trails in the Sky SC today. But I am not sure how long I will last...
Anyway, since I felt uncomfortable with the "tits" - tag, I will not go back to this tag and chose " Sky2 Mona Version " as the tag this time as well.
Lets see if I get through this game...

ever wonder what life would be like if you did one thing different? Story time. I met this boy in middle school i believe it was 7th grade. i remember his face, the way he talked, the way he walked everything. i noticed everything about him. He was a transfer from New Orleans, Katrina had hit the state and displaced millions of people and he ended up in a small town outside of Houston. Another boy was also displaced and settled in my hometown and they were cool with each other. I can’t recall how we became friends but we did. He wasn’t my best friend but he was damn close honestly. That soon became a little middle school crush, i also had a crush on someone else at the same damn time lol. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t talk to him about it, at least i don’t think i did. We stayed friends, and he ended up liking my friend. Remember this is middle school omg i can see the horrible outfits and then some. embarrassing. We stayed cool up until we became freshmen in high school. That’s when he just vanished. I don’t know where he went what happened or anything. I wasn’t the type to hang out with classmates over the summer or anything i was still stuck in my private school ways and with my original friend group. Him and the other guy just vanished in thin air. nobody knew what happened to them. Social Media wasn’t a thing for us then. Years later twitter, and facebook, became a huge thing. And I was able to reconnect with a lot of people I forgot about. Building up your friends list on facebook was a thing and he’s name was there. It wasn’t hard to forget, i haven’t met someone with that name yet.. We was able to reconnect on facebook and then twitter. His picture went viral and i noticed him in that instant. I can remember a face from 5th grade and up, i knew that face. We reconnected again. We spoke very brief, I was in my situation with Darian and Raydell and i was causing chaos on the streets of Harris and Galveston County with Angie on a daily basis. Life was living for me and it was moving fast as hell with the amount of alcohol i was drinking and the amount of weed I smoked. Present time I get a message on facebook. It’s him it’s been years since we talked last 7-8 years to be exact. He lets me know that i’ve always been in the back of his head. Remember my crush from middle school, I’ve always been on his mind and he would always think about us. The crazy part was I knew he went back to Louisiana just to find out he stayed in Texas the entire time. I had no idea and it shocked me of this confession. The conclusion of this is, I want men to speak up with their feelings. This has been 5th within 3 years to pop up and tell me what it was supposed to be with us.
Chris tells me one drunken night it was supposed to be me with his child and not the other Brianna
Raydell accepts my apology and tells me, It was something about me that just had him stuck. my aura.
Ryan tells me that he was physically and mentally there but couldn’t be emotionally because he’s emotionally unavailable, but he’s sure i would’ve been able to pull that out of him.
Darius doubles back once year and tells me he missed me.
Avery comes back from my middle school days telling me I was always on his mind and if it would’ve been an us after two failed relationships.
Next it’s going to be Dorian telling me something I always wanted to hear just 12 years too late.
Darian is going to come back, apologize and tells me he wasn’t ready for a relationship but he is now after speaking to Patrick on the things he done to me in 2016.
Manny going to pop up letting me know that he did like me back in middle school and what to hang out after having multiple kids with someone i dislike my entire high school years.
I don’t want any of this. I set boundaries for Chris, Darius Raydell, and Ryan. It was something about Ryan that made me what to break my boundaries and switch up but we all know he couldn’t be what i needed. Same with Raydell. He couldn’t be what i needed at the time due to his drug problem. Darius and Chris has a whole child and having a baby momma would’ve been my 13th reason. I placed boundaries for a reason to protect myself and learn that everybody doesn’t have a good motive not matter how much i think i know of them. Avery is the past. Way past and I don’t know him anymore and he doesn’t know me. We grew up and a lot of things happened that changed what we used to know. We were kids but as adults it’s nothing we can be other than friends. I appreciate everyone that accepted my boundaries and still show the love without crossing lines. I care so much for those 4 because we were just 20 something’s living life. But as an adult I know the boundary is weirded because of someone from middle school popping up.

Outlander: A Practical Guide for Time-Travelers (7x07)
Dun dun dunnnn!
Cons:
I will say, I thought giving William a cheery, jokey bff in the army was a little transparent. The second this dude opened his mouth I was like "ah, he's about to die so William can learn the true horrors of war." I didn't dislike everything with William in this plot thread, but it's probably the least I've cared about adult William since we met him; he's more interesting to me as he relates to the interpersonal connections of Jamie, Claire, and Lord John. Big surprise there.
I feel like they made Rob Cameron just a little too pushy and sinister? In the books I think there was just a little more time to get to know him as a purely innocuous figure, so here it's like we barely know him and now he's pushing in for dinner invitations and asking questions about Roger's papers, like... it's pretty obvious pretty quickly that something's up. I don't know how I would have solved for this, but just thought I'd mention it. The pacing also kinda made the Buck thing a little less impactful, just because we go from "what the hell are you doing here" to "I forgive him, he's Cousin Buck" so immediately. It also made me miss Roger having a huge scar on his neck and difficulty speaking clearly. That's such an important character trait for him in the books, that he never fully recovers from his near death by hanging. I get why for practical reasons they cut it out, but I think it makes his relationship with his ancestor more compelling if the evidence of his close call is still there in every word he speaks.
Pros:
So, despite thinking William's friend was a bit of an obvious ploy, I do think it was really smart to have this whole interaction happening from William's perspective. We've been told that Jamie doesn't ever want to face his son on the battlefield, but then here we see Jamie go off to fight, and yet we see none of the actual fighting from his perspective. William doesn't know his secret father is on the other side of this conflict. I thought it was a cool way to change it up, to have everything be from the British perspective in the conflict itself, just to pan to the shot of Jamie lying, evidently injured, on the battlefield right there at the end.
Jamie and Claire didn't have a ton to do in this episode, honestly, but I love that we're continuing the voice over bits being connected to the letters home to Bree and Roger. That works so well. And the scene where Jamie realizes Claire needs glasses because her eyesight isn't what it used to be? Adorable! One of those precious scenes from the book that I'm so glad they decided to keep in.
As has been my refrain this season so far, I'm finding the 20th century plot thread really compelling! I saw some people saying they didn't like the Bree and Roger sex scene, but I thought it was pretty good and steamy. And it worked as a sort of distraction, where you have Rob and Buck both in this story as potentially complicating factors. Do either of them mean Roger and Brianna harm? In what way? And then as Buck warns Roger that Rob seems interested in Brianna, and she brushes off that concern, we get this affirming moment of love and connection for them as a couple.
And then... bam, plot twist, Rob flirting with Brianna wasn't really the issue at hand. So even with me wishing the Rob thing had been less obviously telegraphed, I did think that was a clever way to obfuscate the exact nature of the conflict he was going to provide. Unless you've read the books, you genuinely wouldn't have any alarm bells going off when Rob talks about taking Jem to see the movies with him and his nephew. Pretty clever! Also, shout out to the little girl playing Mandy, she's doing a wonderful job, I really felt her fear and distress when she woke up after her nightmare about Jem.
So yeah, in all, I'm excited about where things are going! I remember a lot about the craziness of the rest of this book/season and I think the second half of season seven might be the most excited I've been about Outlander since the early days. A lot of scenes that I remember and adore from the books are likely to be coming up soon!

It was my fault the word was brought up, but Ollie was the one who specifically used it regarding me, so- you can take your pick in that one. Eh, I'm the one who feels the need to change. No one is forcing me, it's just something I personally dislike about myself. A self-perceived flaw, maybe. It certainly felt harmful to me back in February-March, so I'd like to avoid that happening again.
Well now, I didn't say you had to be clear and concise about it... anyway, I didn't assign him any Shakespeare, any decent high school would have done that job for me. I generally agree with you on Shakespeare, there's obviously themes and characters I like, but I'm not exactly diehard for him. Hell, there's a few of his plays that I have no clue about minus the fact they have what I assume are self-explanatory titles. I feel fairly confident that The Two Gentlemen of Verona is about two gentlemen from Verona, for instance.
No, I don't suppose there's anything romantic about a double date with my brother and his claim. That said, if it's romantic, we definitely shouldn't make plans for after. If I'm wooing you, you better expect to be too damn distracted to think about hanging out with other people.
And just who is calling you a simp? Not that I necessary disagree with their assessment, but clearly I don't have too much room to talk... Plus, I do hope you realize that as you said, I'm not all that nice so I'm clearly just giving you shit. There is nothing wrong with how you feel towards him, so please don't feel like you need to improve. From what I could see, yes you feel strongly about him, but it's not to the point of being harmful to either one of you.
My opinion is that he's obviously written some memorable lines and he was good at writing relatable themes into his plays, but overall I think he's a bit overrated mainly because his stories weren't all that original. I think the main reason he's famous is because he was English. I think there were far better writers from that generation, especially from Italy and Spain, but he was one of the first writers to take Greek tragedies and those types of stories and just adapt them for an English speaking audience, so they stuck around longer and are more memorable. Hopefully that was clear and concise enough for you.
Now hang on there... I didn't say anything like that. While you might not consider it romantic, I do, and as much as I do enjoy Thomas and Orion's company, they aren't going to crash our dinner date. We can meet up with them afterwards at the bar.

PURE [5] - Corpse Husband x Fem!Reader
A/N: It’s been a while.
part 1
part 2
part 3
part 4
PURE [5]
“Did you guys find anybody?” Felix’s voice sounded out when the man repeated the same question for what seemed like the third time since he joined the call. The number of players showed 7 of them, which meant that they were still missing three people. Sure, they could start the game now, but it would be way more enjoyable and funny with a full lobby.
“Yeah, Toast will be here any moment. “Sykkuno replied right away. “He just texted me; he should join us in a few.”
“Cool. Anyone else?”
“I think Corpse was also supposed to join us, right? Not sure though why he isn’t here yet.”
“Oh, yeah, Corpse will be here soon too!” Jack suddenly chimed in with an explanation. “He said he needed to take care of something first, but he’ll be here before we start.”
“Great. But that means we’re still one person short.” Felix hummed when Toast’s little astronaut appeared in the lobby “Hey Toast."
“Hey man.”
“Do you have anyone coming?”
“I’m afraid not. I asked MrBeast, but he’s busy, so...”
“Well then, we can just start when Corpse is here, and maybe we’ll find someone in the meantime?” Dave suggested, earning a few hums of approval from the other players.
“Yeah, I think that’s the best option...” Jack agreed. But then his voice blared out in everyone’s headphones with excitement. “Ha! Corpse is bringing someone!”
“Who?”
“I dunno, he just texted me he has one coming and that’s all.”
“Hm, all right. Let’s wait then.”
***
Corpse fidgeted with his phone, glancing between its screen and the chat in his stream. People were already asking countless questions, but rather than answering them, he was waiting for Y/N to call him. He was nervous - the girl still hadn’t commented on his request.
The idea to invite her to the lobby wasn’t spontaneous. In fact, he’d been thinking about it for quite some time now, but never found the courage to actually ask if she would like to join them for the game.
It’s been almost a month now since that memorable phone call. A month since Y/N last played with her friends; a month since she considerably reduced her social media usage.
Sure, she was still active on her youtube channel, but not as much as before the whole haters situation. No matter how hard she tried to just ignore them and simply continue her career, she just couldn’t. There were still these nagging thoughts at the back of her mind, reminding her of all those people and their comments, their messages. It seemed like a good idea to take a short break and sort everything out.
Her fans understood it. They were obviously sad that her videos weren’t as frequent as before, but everyone knew what the situation looked like and that Y/N needed some time for herself.
Her audience knew it, and so did her friends. Especially Corpse.
The man kept his word and talked to the girl whenever she wanted to. Which, in the end, was almost everyday. Although at the beginning their conversations mostly focused on her current problem and dealing with it, their topics broadened over the time.
At one point though, Y/N started worrying that maybe she’s annoying him with her so frequent calls. She thought that she shouldn’t bother him that much - even if talking to him was what really helped her cope with her problems. He already had enough on his plate, and sharing her own concerns with him suddenly seemed like a very selfish thing to do.
But she quickly realized how wrong she was for thinking like that. When one day she didn’t call, figuring out that she should stop troubling him with her own issues, she was very surprised when Corpse reached out to her himself. He expressed how worried he got when she didn’t call, and when she explained what was the reason, he spent the next fifteen minutes lecturing her that she should never think she’s bothering him.
From that day on, they talked every single day. And they talked about almost everything.
Corpse enjoyed their late night-talks more than anything. He liked to listen to Y/N talk about the things she finds exciting, her hobbies, and her dreams. Hell, she could talk about what she ate for breakfast, and he would still listen with interest.
And even though they haven’t seen each other in person, even though she still hasn’t seen his face, they managed to get really close during those past weeks. For an outside observer (who also didn’t have access to Twitter) they would seem like a couple of very good friends.
But not for Corpse.
He couldn’t pinpoint when exactly did it happen. They were talking one evening and Y/N was telling him about the TV series she had finished watching recently. He listened intently and watched as her facial expressions changed from excited to frustrated, as she was enumerating everything she liked and disliked about the series finale.
And then he suddenly got this weird feeling in the pit of his stomach, and simply couldn’t take his eyes off her.
He tried to play it off and act as if nothing changed, but he couldn’t stop his heart from doing backflips whenever she laughed at one of his dumb jokes or called him partner. It was still a running joke between them and among the group of their friends, but there was something in the way she said it that made him instantly smile like an idiot.
He also started paying more attention to the hashtags on Twitter and Instagram. #PartnersInCrime was still rather popular, even though it was a month since anyone last used this phrase on stream. Corpse also found out that #Y/Nforthebride was trending for some time; he even managed to stumble across a few fanarts.
There was this urge to send them to Y/N, but he was too nervous that it would make things awkward between them... After all, he didn’t know how she felt about that whole shipping thing.
That’s why he decided to just leave things between them as they are, and be happy that he’s at least her friend.
Corpse nearly jumped out of his skin, when he was brought back to reality by the sound of an upcoming FaceTime call. Y/N’s photo appeared on his screen, her smiley face which he had assigned as her contact photo. His lips corners curled up in a smile almost unwittingly.
“Hey Y/N/N” he said after answering the call.
“Hi Corpse” she smiled softly upon hearing his voice. Although the screen on her side was dark, she didn’t mind not seeing Corpse’s face. She respected his wish to remain faceless and enjoyed their conversations anyway.
“Whatcha doin’?”
“Just editing the new video. I guess I’ll upload it in the morning... but I’m not sure yet.”
“Well let me know then, I wanna be the first one to see it.”
“Sure thing, Corpse” she chuckled, lowering her gaze bashfully. Corpse just looked at her face for a moment, unable to stop smiling to himself. Then he remembered why they were talking in the first place.
“So... have you seen my text?” Y/N sighed at his question but nodded her head slowly. “And what do you think?”
“I don’t know, Corpse...” she ran a hand through her hair in a nervous gesture. “...if that’s a good idea, I mean.”
“Well, it’s been a while. No pressure though, if you don’t wanna play then it’s totally fine.” he quickly clarified. “I just thought it would be fun if you joined us, even if just for a moment. I’m sure everyone would go crazy.”
Her smile widened slightly at his words, but she still didn’t look convinced. Sure, it was tempting to join them. She wanted to do it each time Sean or Felix bombarded her with messages and codes to the lobby, both inviting her to join the group in the game. But then she remembered how people reacted to her appearance in their streams... and suddenly it didn’t seem like such a good idea anymore.
“We’re gonna play on Polus...” he added after a moment when she still didn’t say anything. “That one map with the planetary base... there’s a lava pit, y’know. Just saying...”
She laughed wholeheartedly at his words, remembering their last game when Corpse jumped into the lava for her.
“Sykkuno’s gonna be there as well” Corpse continued. “And I promise I won’t kill you this time.”
“Even if I’m the last player alive?” she joked.
“Even then, Y/N.”
Corpse stifled a laugh, as she cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes slightly as if trying to spot him in the darkness.
“Are you streaming, Corpse?” she then asked.
“Not yet. I’m gonna start the stream as soon as you say yes, though.”
“Oh c’mon” she laughed at his words “That’s emotional blackmail!”
“Maybe. Is it working?” he asked.
Y/N let out a heavy breath and ran a hand down her face. Corpse watched in anticipation as she seemed to have some internal battle with herself. He hoped that she’s gonna agree, he really missed playing with her.
“All right, then.” she suddenly said, and his breath hitched in his throat. “I’m gonna stay for a few rounds I guess...”
“Wait, really?” he asked, a smile on his face only widening.
“Well, yeah,��partner.” she replied, which made his cheeks go warm “Your imposter techniques haven’t been very effective lately... Someone needs to help you out, or you’re gonna lose your title of the king of the Imposters.”
“Oh, is that’s how it is now?” he laughed in fake shock. “I wouldn’t have to worry about losing the title if my accomplice hadn’t left me all alone!”
“All right, all right.” she giggled at his accusations. “Your accomplice is on her way to support you.”
Corpse smiled even wider at the sound of her laughter. Her eyes shined with happiness when she was giggling, which only brought out their E/C color. The fact that his stupid babbling was the reason for her smile was making him feel extremely proud of himself.
“But just so you know... I still have no idea how this map works, so I’m afraid I’m gonna need you to guide me around it...”
“Y’know you could as well just say you want to hang out with me...”
“Corpse!” she laughed, her cheeks blushing in embarrassment.
“Just kidding Y/N” he chuckled at her reaction. “Of course I’m gonna guide you, don’t worry.”
“Okay then...” she said after a moment, looking at the screen again. “I’ll be there in a few minutes. Will you send me the code, please?”
“Sure I will, Y/N”
“Okay. See you later, partner” she smiled brightly.
“See you, partner.”
When Y/N ended the call, Corpse let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. He sighed in relief and ran a hand through his hair, before moving to sit behind his desk.
It was only after he started the stream that he realized he was blushing. Not only because Y/N would join them, but because there was also another thing he wanted to ask her about, but didn’t find the courage to yet...
***
By the time Y/N turned on her computer and started the game, Corpse has already sent her the code, and there was a Discord invite waiting for her as well. She bit her lip nervously as her heartbeat quickened.
Was she nervous? As hell.
She did everything she could to avoid being in unnecessary spotlight since she started receiving those hate messages. Perhaps escaping the problem wasn’t the best solution, but it definitely was a comfortable one. People wouldn’t have a reason to hate on her if she disappeared.
But then she couldn’t say no to Corpse. And truth to be said - she really missed playing with her friends. From what she’d seen on Twitter, the lobby would be filled with those she’d already played with, so she wasn’t that nervous before the game. What she was nervous about though, was how people would react.
Accepting Corpse’s request was something she did due to the sudden rush of courage. And now there was no coming back.
She knew Corpse would understand if she changed her mind... but she heard how excited he was when she had agreed. She couldn’t do it to him.
So, once she’d taken a deep breath and put her headphones on, Y/N accepted the invite and braced herself for the inevitable chaos that was bound to take place in the call. She decided to wait with joining the lobby though - at least until they realize she’s with them.
“..the fuck you’re talking about?!” Felix’s voice was the first thing she heard, which made her roll her eyes with a smile. “It’s not my fault I sound like that! At least I don’t have a liar voice like Rae!”
“HEY!” the girl yelled “I don’t have a liar voice!”
“You do, you’re using it even now!” Jack argued, much to Rae’s dismay.
“What is going on here” Corpse’s deep voice sounded out suddenly.
“Oh, you’re here! Finally” Sykkuno immediately welcomed him with his always happy voice.
“Yeah, sorry that I’m late guys.”
“No worries, man” Pewdiepie spoke up again. “We were just talking about playing the voice card and that you’re basically the only one who can do it.”
“Not fair at all!” Rae chimed in, making Corpse chuckle.
“The voice card...” he hummed after a moment, before adding. “I wouldn’t really say I’m the only one though...”
“Well who else then? Everyone else either starts laughing or have a liar voice” Dave asked, and Rae scoffed at the last words.
“Well what about my guest?”
Y/N inhaled sharply, realizing that now she should probably reveal herself.
“Oh, right! Who you’re bringing man?” Sean asked with curiosity.
That’s when Y/N typed in the game code, and her white astronaut appeared in the lobby.
“Wait, who’s- HOLY SHIT” Sean all but yelled, when realization hit him. Y/N laughed loudly at his reaction, and her voice only seemed to prove to everyone that she really was there.
“KIDDO WHAT THE FUCK” Felix reflected Jack’s response, yelling over his friend.
“Oh my god, hi!”
“What a surprise!” Y/N managed to catch Sykkuno’s words. “It’s so amazing to have you here, Y/N/N!”
“As I live and breathe.” another voice spoke up, and Toast’s little astronaut came face to face with her white bean. “My lifelong nemesis. Back here snap my neck again, huh?”
“Yeah, happy to hear you too, Toast” Y/N giggled at his words, then she adressed the whole group. “Hi guys.”
“Okay I did not expect that in the slightest” Sean laughed happily “You’re here kiddo!”
“I am” she smiled from ear to ear, even though they couldn’t see her.
“Wait- Corpse, is that the thing you had to take care of?” her best friend asked Corpse with suspicious voice.
“Well...” he trailed off and cleared his throat, making everyone laugh.
“That’s so great Y/N! We missed you so much!” Rae thundered over the bickering of the boys. “The game hasn’t been the same without you...”
“Agreed. I suddenly stopped dying.” Toast commented, making her roll her eyes with a laugh.
“I don’t know if I should be happy or fucking scared right now.” Felix laughed nervously. “With Corpse and Y/N? We’re fucked now, guys.”
“I promise I’ll go easy on you, I haven’t played in so long I think I forgot all my strategies...”
“Yeah, sure.” Toast’s forever suspicious voice made her smile wider. “Just don’t kill me in the first roung, okay? I won’t vote you off just stay the fuck away from me you little murderer.”
“Okay, I promise I won’t kill you...”
She couldn’t stop herself from laughing, and the smile remained on her face even when they started the game. It only seemed to widen, when she saw the sign Imposter on her screen.
Only to giggle hysterically when she realized that Toast was the other imposter...
And so the game went on with Y/N and Toast cooperating like perfect serial killers. Corpse did as he promised and guided her through the map, both of them being closely followed by Sykkuno. Because of that she’d just sabotage the map most of the time to give Toast opportunities to kill their friends, but eventually managed to sneak out when her two fellow crewmates were doing their tasks. It just so happen that Pewds was walking past her, and she might’ve accidentally snapped his neck...
“Goddamnit! I knew it! I fucking knew it was you!” Sean yelled once the game was over and Y/N saw the sign VICTORY on her screen, her small character standing next to Toast’s one. He was ejected at some point because Poki managed to walk in on him killing Rae, but Y/N remained undetected until the very end. Perhaps the fact that Corpse was one of the two crewmates who were left alive had something to do wtih it...
“That was rude” Pewds said in a whiny voice, clearly referring to their encounter which led to his death. “I was just happily walking around, doing my tasks like a good crewmate, and then boom! Y/N happened”
“I would say I’m sorry... but I’m really not” she laughed, making Felix gasp in shock.
“That’s what happens when you work with Toast!”
“Good game, Y/N. That was amazing” the man in question said appreciatively.
“Will you finally forgive me for killing you that one time if I say that being imposters with you was cool?” she laughed nervously.
“Actually... Yeah, I guess we can bury the hatchet now. AND we should team up more in the future.”
“Great!”
“Excuse me, what?” Corpse’s voice made the whole lobby laugh. “I don’t remember us cancelling our partnership, Y/N.”
“Corpse...”
“Are you trying to steal my accomplice from me Toast?”
“Well she’s a great partner in crime after all...” Toast deliberately used the phrase, making Corpse gasp.
“Hey! She’s my partner! Find yourself your own, Toast” Corpse joked, making Y/N laugh bashfully, her cheeks warming up at his words.
“Yeah yeah, I remember, don’t worry man. No one’s gonna take your partner in crime away from you...” Toast’s teasing voice made them all laugh, Corpse and Y/N included.
For the next few rounds Y/N played as a crewmate, running around the map with either Corpse or Sykkuno and doing her tasks. During meetings they joked and laughed, and for a moment, she stopped thinking about what people watching her friend’s streams might think about her presence. After all, there was at least a small chance that they didn’t think about it at all, and simply enjoyed watching their favoirte youtubers. Just as she enjoyed playing with her friends.
Oh, and by the way, Corpse kept his promise and didn’t kill her even when she was the last player alive...
It was soon time when everyone started slowly leaving the lobby, having played for over three hours. Y/N also said her goodbyes to the others and promised that she’d join them to play a game called Raft next week.
When she turned her computer off and threw herself on her bed, Y/N immediately grabbed her phone to call Corpse. He answered right away.
“Well hello, partner...” she rolled her eyes with a smile when he accented the last word. “Or should I say, traitor, instead?”
“Corpse... you know I would never betray you...”
“Well how can I be so sure, now that I know how cool it is to be imposters with Toast?” she knew he was joking, she could almost hear the smile in his voice.
“Not nearly as cool as it is with you, Corpse” Y/N grinned from ear to ear when Corpse scoffed.
“I spare your life so many times and that’s what I get in return? You cheat on me with Toast?” he said in disbelief “I’m disappointed, Y/N, I really am.”
“I would never!” she laughed through her words, even though her cheeks were now red because of Corpse’s words. “You’re the best partner in crime, Corpse, I wouldn’t trade you for anyone else!”
Not only in the game, she thought.
“Hmm, alright. Let’s say I believe you.” he said after a moment of thinking.
“I mean it, Corpse...” Y/N said after calming down from her laughter. “I... I really wanted to thank you.”
“Thank me? For what?” he asked, genuinely surprised.
“Well, first of all for inviting me to today’s game... I really had lots of fun, it was great to play and talk with the others. And I wouldn’t be in the lobby if not for you...” Y/N mumbled, before verbalizing her previous thoughts. “And I also wanted to thank you for just... you know... being my friend. My real life partner in crime. I just wanted you to know I’m really glad I met you...”
Corpse was silent for a good few moments, and Y/N started panicking that maybe she said something wrong, or maybe he found her spontaneous confession funny, or worse, dumb. She was almost ready to somehow laugh it all off, when his voice cut her off.
“Thank you, Y/N. It really means a lot to me too.” he sounded like he had some troubles with speaking, which made Y/N furrow her brows in worry.
“Is everything okay, Corpse?”
“Yeah, I...” he stuttered, then laughed nervously. “I just didn’t expect that and... yeah. It’s not something I hear on a daily basis, especially from someone like you.”

“But what you said... it’s mutual.” he said after a moment, and Y/N couldn’t stop herself from grinning like an idiot. “You’re the best partner in crime I could ask for. And not only in the game.”
She could as well just pass out there and there...
“So uhm... there was one thing I wanted to ask you...”
“Yeah?”
“I was wondering if maybe... you know, if you’d have some time... and if you’d want to of course... would you maybe like to visit me here in San Diego?”
Yeah, passing out seems like a good idea.
