#they are the biggest offenders of this for me

[liam-summers]

Going into the Bangel tag to read it like my morning newspaper (as one does), and seeing a post that I had to scroll way too long to get to the bottom of, which consisted of repeatedly bashing on Bangel/Angel, followed by bashing on Briley/Riley, followed by a dissertation about how amazing Sp*ke and Sp*ffy are. And the biggest fuck you of all, is that this person used my gifs (along with several others), without crediting me.

They wrote that they don’t want to start a fight, (because they all fucking say that) but everything about the post is specifically designed to offend. The complete lack of courtesy, common sense, and the delusions in this fandom are things that truly need to be studied.

Anyway, Happy Valentine’s Day to Buffy and Angel ONLY, and I hope that Buffy stakes Sp*ke onscreen in the reboot 🥰

“Writing poems for my sister again, Caitycat?” Jinx excitedly greets from behind the bench, startling Caitlyn who was in the middle of writing an outline for her English class essay.

“Jinx! Gods, don't scare me like that,” Caitlyn complains, and Jinx simply sits down beside her while peering into her notepad.

“Sheesh, an essay? Boo-ring! Go write a love letter or something,” Jinx teases, knowing her sister's relationship with Caitlyn.

She's paraded herself as their biggest fan, creating ship names and writing cringy fanfiction of the two just to annoy Caitlyn, whilst Vi found it hilarious. Caitlyn kept on outlining her essay while Jinx simply stared, it seemed like she was genuinely determined to see what Caitlyn prepared for the day of love. Caitlyn sighed and set down her pen.

“Will you leave me alone once I let you read a part of it?”

“Prolly not, if it's not good can I use those skeet shooting stuff at your place?” Jinx asks, and Caitlyn finally understands why the girl had gone to her.

Caitlyn and Jinx have recently bonded over the guns that they were both enthralled with guns and shooting targets. The only difference was that Caitlyn liked rifles and Jinx preferred firearms that caused more damage, she was more into destroying than being calculated. She claims it helps with regulating her emotions, which Caitlyn understood and Vi encouraged.

“I suppose the skatepark not giving you enough dopamine?”

“Nah, that's more like Vi's thing. I like shooting shit like you do, got tired of unmoving cans,” Jinx confesses, sinking into the seat, a contrast to Caitlyn's prim and proper demeanor.

“Anyway, gimme the deets about the poem, Caity. I need to check if you have enough guts to make my hardheaded sister swoon,” she adds, causing Caitlyn to chuckle out loud as she hands her the notebook. Guess they weren't all that different, after all.

“Oh, Violet!” Jinx greets in a sing-songy voice, skating through their kitchen with her backpack as Vi was piping icing on top of the cupcakes she was making.

“Jinx, no shoes in the house! You know the rules, you don't wanna mop again, do you?” Vi blurted, focusing on the cupcakes as Jinx pouted before putting her shoes away.

Vander always assigned mopping duties to one of her brothers, however, whenever one of them set their shoes into the house, the mopping duties would be placed onto them for a week. Jinx begrudgingly set her shoes down by the door and walked in her blue cat socks on back to the kitchen, tapping her sister on the shoulder before she slips one of the sliced strawberries into her mouth. Vi gasped out loud about it.

“Hey, that was for Cait!” Vi exclaims, attempting to steal the fruit back but Jinx was already chewing.

“Of course it is, nice berries though. Or aggregate fruit, I dunno, I don't pay attention to botany. But hey, look at you! My sister's down bad for the school heartthrob,” Jinx replies, stealing a blueberry from the bowl.

Vi rolls her eyes and simply finishes up with piping her icing, since there was only one more cupcake remaining. Vi took one of the sprinkle shakers, scattering violet sprinkles all over the pink icing. The cupcakes somehow oddly resembled someone with strawberry blonde hair, but Vi shrugged it off as she added the fruits and berries as toppings.

“What are you doing tomorrow? No gifts?” Vi asks, carefully placing the fruits on berries on the cupcakes. She didn't want Caitlyn to think that she half-assed making her gift.

“Eh, going on a date, I guess. A girl asked me out so...”

“Really? That's surprising.”

“Hey! I can pull as much as you do, I'm just chilling around and waiting for someone to pursue me,” Jinx replies, rather offended.

“Of course, of course. My bad, your highness,” Vi answers, earning herself a hit on the back of her head from Jinx.

Jinx immediately runs away before Vi could pull on one of her braids as payback, running upstairs to escape from her annoyed sister. Vi shakes her head and returns her attention to the cupcakes, each in their respective places in the box. She places the cupcake box inside the fridge, thinking back on how she'd slip these into Caitlyn's locker.

—

School doesn't start until 8 in the morning, and yet Vi was here at exactly 7. There were a few students walking around, but none that would exactly notice her if she was careful and sneaky. None of them knew about Caitlyn and Vi, and Vi had simply assumed that it was because Caitlyn didn't want to be associated with her crew. That was something she understood from the start.

She found Caitlyn's locker, forcibly prying it open with her gauntlets before anyone could see. She was about to leave the cupcakes inside and leave when she heard a voice.

“You could've just given them to me directly, Violet. You do know that destroys the hinges of my locker, right? You've done this before,” Caitlyn says from behind, and Vi slowly faces her. She had been unfortunately caught in the act.

Vi notices that Caitlyn alone had gotten the attention of everyone who had already arrived, and she finally feels the need to sink into the ground. If only the floor would swallow her so she wouldn't deal with this, but then Caitlyn smiles at her, like how she often does when they're alone together. Caitlyn then hands Vi a heart shaped card and a small bag of little dark chocolates, Vi's favorite.

“Happy Valentine's Day, Vi.”

Vi pauses, not expecting Caitlyn to greet her as such in the hallway while their peers watched. But now she knows, Caitlyn was not embarrassed to be with her because of her crew. Caitlyn loves her back enough to give her a card right in front of the other heartthrobs, and Vi's heart flutters.

“Happy Valentine's Day, cupcake.”

From my gardens there grew beautiful violets,

The elegance even noticeable if daylit,

At first, my heart and I were skeptical,

Thinking I'd never need something nonsensational,

But the absence of it broke me into pieces,

And I'd never once again disregard these brilliancies.

— Caitlyn

The worst part about binging fan content for stuff is that soon you run out of easily accessible new content. What’s worse is half the time I pick the most obscure character to latch on to so even if the fandom is churning out a ton of stuff, I’m lucky if I get more than one new post I actually like in a month. And on top of that, I also get into fandoms that are going through a drought of fan retention.

Every time I rewatch Mebius fifty million screenshots materialize on my hardrive.

How do you know a song needs to be uploaded in mp4?

Some songs have some weird DRM or just won't let me upload them as MP3s for whatever reason (I don't know until I try to upload them as an MP3 though, haha).

A lovely follower of this blog helped me out a long ago with a noise filter that bypassed it but it ended up being less time consuming to just convert them to MP4, so I made a silly image in mspaint and that was that.

I got upset that Nick's agency looked so rundown because RoboDad deserves better. So I fixed it up and decorated it with mods to give him a better place to live and work.

His office is still messy and disorganized but there’s a lot more storage so that everything has a proper place, it just gets moved around a lot.

Nick’s desk area now has a bunch of pictures and notes taped to the wall to help him spell out his thoughts on recent cases.

There’s also a picture of Maggie on his desk to remind him of his lady love.

His guest room looks a lot more cozy with actual sheets on the bed and pillows.

I know it’s kinda implied that it’s actually Nicks bed and Ellie sleeps upstairs, but I like to think she has her own apartment elsewhere.

Nicks new room has a big and luscious bed because he deserves to have one and no one can tell be otherwise. Let Gramps have some comfort dang it.

And there are books everywhere because Valentine seems like the type who likes to read and write. Some of those he wrote himself.

That carved duck on the dresser was a gift from a grateful client. Actually, most of the stuff he has are gifts because so doubt he’ll buy much comforts for himself.

I don't know if I'm just being dramatic™ but lights are getting too bright and it sucks! When it's dark outside I can barely walk next to a street anymore.

It's so funny how like. People who say Ninjago got bad after s7 Are wrong... but also Ninjago definitely had a Lot of pretty shit/poorly handled seasons after s7, and it didn't help that almost the Entire 11-min era was so hideously grey

i'm sure you know this already but:

COTL ISN’T DELETING THEIR GAME.

1) in terms profit they'd pretty much shoot themselves in the foot with that decision, and as protest it's not very effective to make unity listen.

2) if they were, there would've been a much bigger announcement than a twitter tweet.

3) they confirmed they're not in both the discord and the twitter. after the deletion tweet went viral. which...ok.

4) it's probably a scare tactic to take advantage of the unity news to get more people to buy their game.

5) it probably worked.

so many people are focused on the unity issue that i don't think it's often talked about how much of a shitty pr stunt that was by the social media manager. people are fearmongering, sure, but the initial seeds were planted by that twitter post that really should've gone through some extra foresight.

hope they enjoy their extra revenue.

Hugh Dancy 🤝 Robert Sean Leonard:

Insisting their obviously queer character is straight and the obviously queer relationship they're in is platonic.

Hugh Laurie 🤝 Mads Mikkelsen:

Being the biggest cheerleaders for the fandoms queer ships involving their characters.

[sasukeless]

can’t take the “fujoshis push gender roles in gay ships” from m/f shippers cuz that’s ur cousin??? like in remember there was a post that i think it was on twt or smth where op had pointed out how odd it was that most fc usually presented more tomboyish/gnc when it came to m/f fandoms they always reduced them gender roles and they made the women extremely feminine and ppl jumped them when they were right?!2!/!

[elisedonut]

i like the concept of DaddyDom!Percy/Caretaker!Percy in terms of like behavior and how he treats a partner depending on the ship and stuff

but i don't think he actually likes being called daddy if that makes any sense

like sir? hell yeah he loves that

I do think that depending on the ship that the partner in question calls him it anyway just to fuck with him sometimes though

"Thank you, Daddy."

"Don't call me that."

"You literally just went out of your way to buy me a teddy bear and tucked me into bed, with a bedtime story."

Saw this prompt for incorrect OC quotes and couldn't resist with a bunch of my Breach goobers. Some of them would absolutely say these things word for word in canon if I gave them half the chance to, though. XD

They're in order of when they showed up in person - Qīng, Ghost, Red, Marisol, Shio, Cam, Daruk, Tawoos, and Alondra - as well as some important honorable mentions who have only been mentioned or gotten dialogue - Star, Blake, and Creation.

Star's design is a slight spoiler, I suppose, but it doesn't reveal if they're human or impostor, so it's all good. Creation's "design" also isn't a spoiler at all, because They can look however They want, LOL. As for Shio...some of you who have seen the body horror I've done of them may be wondering why they look so normal here, but I promise there are Reasons. :3c

In other news, will I be making a liar out of Shio in an upcoming Breach canon divergence? ..........Maybe~ >:3c

I was laughing about reading your indignation over genres being too subjective when it comes to bookstore categorization because it made me realize I definitely unconsciously view my genre sorting as a Formal Complaint and Correction to the fools in the publishing industry who dictate (wrongly) how their publications are indexed

but also my categorization is more of vibes that all blend into each other, which imo is how genre SHOULD be 😤

The last 24 hours have been so eye-opening for me because I didn't even realize that I had such strong opinions about genres.

Really, if I branched out genre-wise, I would probably do something similar to what you do which is putting them in their Correct™ genres. I could make cute signs for my bookshelves to indicate genre and everything. However, it would look pretty sad to have my 2 biographies and 3 horror novels in their own sections lmao.
