🚨 Everything we know about Wednesday season 2 (possible spoilers and trigger warnings for violence — don't read this if you don't wanna know anything about season 2. Also, remember that none of this is confirmed yet, everything is from a leaker supposedly working on the set)

1- Xavier left school so his character is completely forgotten

2- Enid is craving affection and attention a lot

3- Enid's scars healed (I'm so sad about that... bye bye our hopes of Wednesday comforting her about it)

4- Enid's hair is a bit shorter, closer to Emma's real haircut. It's still blond. They also talked about giving her a black streak, but they didn't do it. They will possibly add it next season

5- Ajax broke up with Enid because she kept missing their dates and wasn't really involved in their relationship

6- Ajax disappears through the season but is found at the end

7- Enid has a new boyfriend, Maxim (played by Owen Painter)

8- Maxim is predicted to be loved by the fans

9- Maxim is abusive towards Enid (he grabs her a lot and leaves bruises)

10- Wednesday hates Maxim from the start

11- Wednesday is really protective of Enid during this season

12- Enid breaks up with Maxim in episode 4 (I suppose, as it says mid-season) and it doesn't go well (he's really mad and they almost physically fight. Enid uses her claws)

13- After the break up, Maxim becomes very obsessive

14- Wednesday initiates a hug after Enid comes back to the dorm after the break up

15- Enid and Wednesday will investigate together in every episodes except the first one

16- Maxim takes over the Nightshades and kick Bianca out. His father is said to have old views (I guess similar to Crackstone)

17- Bianca will have a lot of scenes. So does Thing

18- Tyler is back and will work with Wednesday. He's not the villain of this season

19- Tyler has a lot of scenes with Bianca's mom

20- Wednesday, Enid, Morticia, Maxim and Barry (Maxim's father and Nevermore's new principal) have the most screentime

21- Enid meets the Addams and Morticia thinks her relationship with Wednesday is stupendous

22- Enid's relationship with her mom changes a lot (good or bad, we don't know)

23- There will be a camping episode taking place at Camp Jericho, where Enid and Wednesday will share a tent

24- There will be a musical number

25- Christopher Lloyd (original movie Uncle Fester) will come back as, apparently, a music teacher

26- Enid will have a major fight against around 5 creatures

27- One of Enid's fight is to protect Wednesday (who is immobilised during the scene)

28- Wenclair share another hug at the end of the season

29- Enid and Wednesday are very close friends at the end of the season. Wenclair is not comfirmed yet for season 3 but they said it's still possible

30- Jenna is producer this season, so everything that happens between Wednesday and Enid has gone through her. She and Emma are most likely the ones to decide if Wenclair will happen or no. Considering they both said in an interview that they would be good together, that the whole cast ships them and that so much fans does too, we are on the right track!

All of this is not officially confirmed. A leaker working on the set posted all this on Reddit in June (from what I understood). Recently, bts pics of Camp Jericho has been shared, confirming what the leaker said about it. So all of this is most likely true, but again, nothing comfirmed.

I really hope it is true, because holy shit, the plot is INSANE. I literally told my best friend I needed a camping scene in season 2 and more drama... well, there we are 🤌🏻 All this informations I have shared are from the leaker (the post has been deleted on Reddit but you can find some screenshots on @zstronz78's Twitter account)

What are you theories and thoughts about it?

Funny thing about this specific return chart is that it’s quite literal sometimes, i remember having 𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟒𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 a couple months ago and the amount of Plumbing issues we had was infuriating, in the kitchen, master bathroom and the other bathrooms literally everything water-related was fucked.

The amount of selfies and photos i posted on social media when i had 𝟑𝐑𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 was crazy, is like i went on a rampage, but i really felt like sharing lots of aesthetics then.

Also with this placement i got catcalled and flirted with too.. since it 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐈.

𝟔𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒, 𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐆𝐎 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐒𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐎𝐑 𝐕𝐈𝐑𝐆𝐎 𝐃𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐒 𝟔,𝟏𝟖 may make you want to start a brand new routine or just have this urge to change your life, because you’ll get more critical on yourself.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒 — 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒 will make you stick to whatever plan you have and be entirely dedicated to it until you finish it, which is why i recommended starting important things during that time.

On the other hand 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒 — 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐎𝐑 𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒 may make things a bit difficult. In 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 case you will work yourself til death literally, your body will beg you for mercy because without even noticing you’ll become a slave to that task, so beware of workaholism lmao.

𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄 though makes you feel drained, like you just have no willpower to do anything and instead your energy will be wasted on daydreaming about what you should’ve done and the actions you should’ve taken to complete that matter, anxiety may take a toll on you during that month more than ever too.

𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒 — 𝐍𝐄𝐏𝐓𝐔𝐍𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒 with these aspects you may be easily exposed to different kinds of addictions so don’t start any negative habit then because it’ll stick.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒 — 𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒 may or may not make you try a new clothing style, like just change your wardrobe and wear things you never imagined you’d wear, maybe even add unique pieces to your outfits, corsets for example.

Having 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒 to 𝟑 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐒 or more is actual hell, no because when this happened i was fighting demons every single day, i can say that this specific month kicked my ass so bad i literally couldn’t function properly without having murrder on my mind 24/7..

.. 𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍 aspected 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐍, 𝐌𝐎𝐎𝐍, 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐒, 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒, 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐎 all 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐃 𝐀𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐒.. let me tell you that till this day i shiver whenever i remember how these 30 days went by.. felt like i experienced a year worth of pain in a month.

𝟏𝟏𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐑𝐎𝐍 get ready to compare yourself with your friends, you’ll feel insecure around them.

If you have 𝟏𝐒𝐓, 𝟓𝐓𝐇, 𝟗𝐓𝐇 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐔𝐌, be sure that’ll be one of the best months of the year, i usually travel and go on vacations when i have this placement, or just spend most of my time in entertaining places.

𝐒𝐔𝐍, 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐒, 𝐉𝐔𝐏𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐑, 𝐎𝐑 𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐔𝐒 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝟐𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐒𝐄 you’ll be girl mathin’ alot bestie, because money will appear out of thin air in your bank account and you’ll spend it just as fast as it came…

Wanna know on what? Depending on the 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭 (𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰) + 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐬 since it’s the area of attracting.

𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍: let’s say this month you have Leo on the 2nd house in the lunar return chart, you’ll go then and see where is Leo in your natal chart, you found it for example in the 9th house?, (meaning you’re a Sagittarius rising), then the 2nd house in lunar return chart falls on your natal 9th house.

Hello! Can I request alastor with an eldritch s/o that's more powerful than him. I love the creepy flare that you give your alastor fics but since he's naturally the more dominant type I sorta wanna see him react to someone who could probably rival lucifer.

One-Shots and Headcanons Masterlist

When Alastor first arrived in Hell, he made it his point to start gathering territory as soon as possible, leaving a blood bath behind him

He was strong, stronger than any mortal soul you have ever seen, and that intrigued you immensely

Being one of the Overlords, you constantly seeked new challengers whom would be worthy of fighting and most of the times, you ended up being disappointed

To you, fighting was something you lived for

When Alastor finally arrived at the borders of your territory in search of his next victim, you were ecstatic to finally see just how powerful he truly was

Your battle was the most enjoyable one you had for centuries, but it wasn’t enough

The deer demon was new to Hell and therefore, new to his powers so he hasn’t quite reached his full potential yet, and you just couldn’t kill him before he did

No, you had to face him at his strongest, a battle to death

Taking Alastor down, you expressed immense interest in teaching him about his powers and helping him become stronger for the single purpose of crushing that power of his once he was ready in your eyes

Despite his pride not allowing him to accept your assistance, his interest in you kept him in your presence as you were the first being to ever bring him to his knees

He knew you held a high status down here and was ready to strip you of that status and take it as his own, crushing you under his shoe as he felt the overwhelming feeling of dominancy

That was his new goal, and he would see to it that it would be fulfilled, no matter how low he would have to stoop

He tried setting traps, using cheap tricks, surprise attacks, angel weapons, blackmailing and anything else he could think of, but you were always one step ahead of him

For once in his life, he wasn’t the one on the top and strangely, he didn’t mind as much as he thought he would

Your fights were enjoyable, you were quick on your feet and smart with your strategies

To him, you had it all

Smarts, power, status, and beauty

He decided it would be only fitting for you to become his once he overpowered you, but with each passing day he realised time and time again that there was no taking you down

So, he decided that if he couldn’t have the pleasure of defeating you physically, he would do so mentally

He was aware of the effect he had on women and some men, and knew just how to spin that to his advantage

He’d start subtly by complimenting your fighting style while you two sparred, engaging more in your conversations, being in your presence more often and of course, secretly watching your every move

You saw the change in him but didn’t pay it much attention as it was not indicating the possibility of a threat, until he started gathering information from you about what you liked and disliked

Now that was out of character for him, and you became slightly suspicious so whatever you told him, you always chose your words and the information you were giving up carefully

Hunting was something you shared an interest in, there was just something so appealing about stalking your unsuspecting pray and slaughtering it, feeling the power you had over it

The power to choose whether it shall live or die

Passionately discussing the topic for days, you soon grew emotionally closer, and for some strange reason, you no longer wished to kill him

Alastor’s plan was slowly coming into fruition, but what he hadn’t accounted for was the fact he was staring to have romantic feelings for you

You were the first woman that make him feel this way, and he wasn’t sure how to handle this

His instinct was to just take you and claim you as his, but with your power that would be impossible

He took to being with you 24/7

His overprotectiveness was starting to show as all it would take for Alastor to attack was for a man to simply look your way

In your eyes however, he was the one who needed protection

He was weaker than you and quite reckless at times, but it was a nice gesture from him

It reassured you that he truly cared about you not only because of your status and it made you want to return the gesture

You approached him and asked to form a contract with him, which took him by surprise of course

You had everything, so what could you possibly want?

You told him you wanted him, and you knew he wanted you

Green light emitted from Alastor as he extended his hand towards you

“I shall be yours till the end of time”

What would you change about Malleus if you could?

To quote myself from an older post:

“Honestly, I wouldn’t change anything about Malleus, even if I don’t like him as he is. A lot of my grievances with Malleus fundamentally make Twisted Wonderland what it is, so changing Malleus would also change Twisted Wonderland, from the marketing (aka make Malleus NOT a focal point) to the story itself. Like, the whole point of Malleus is to be standoffish and mysterious. If he wasn’t, then there wouldn’t be any good foreshadowing for chapter 7 […] I understand that he is the way he is in service of the main story plot and to stay true to his Disney origins […] he serves his purpose in the story. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.”

Instead of changing Malleus, I’d like to change how the world interacts with him without making major changes to his background or personality. That will be the focus of this post!

Here is what I would alter:

Introduce Malleus to Yuu sooner and make their interactions more meaningful than a few dialogue exchanges before he poofs away.

A lot of my issues with Malleus come from how weak his friendship with Yuu feels, especially if the player does not project onto their relationship to fill in the gaps. They don’t meet until book 2, Lilia delivers instead of Malleus in book 4, and Malleus and Yuu don’t interact at all in book 6. When they do meet, they don’t even do or say that much that would make them… I don’t know, connect? And no, the nickname (Tsunotaro/Hornton) alone doesn’t cut it for me. The value of Yuu and Malleus’s relationship as it currently stands is too dependent on whether the player likes Malleus or not, and anyone who doesn’t is left not caring about his and Yuu’s bond.

Let’s show Malleus sooner (even as early as the end of the prologue). Maybe Yuu sees his figure from a distance and is curious about him. Then have him appear and interact with Yuu every book. Have them actually get to know each other a little, but not in ways which would be too intimate or give away his identity. Tailor each interaction so that it tangentially relates to the problem Yuu is dealing with that particular book, then, through their interaction, have Malleus give advice in a roundabout way that ends up helping Yuu come up with a solution for that book. This way it progresses the story, maintains Malleus’s enigmatic presence, AND it deepens his bond with Yuu.

One good example of this actually occurs in book 3 of the main story. Yuu confides in Malleus in 3-24 that they’ve lost their dorm as collateral in a deal. Malleus then abruptly changes the topic to gargoyles. He points out that although they look scary, they serve an important function as a type of drainage spout to protect buildings from the elements. “They look frightful, and yet they are beings devoted to the preservation of the home. Sometimes, what you see with your eyes is the complete opposite of the truth.” Finally, Malleus advises Yuu to keep fighting for their dorm, as he too would hate to see Ramshackle be seized and turned into a noisy establishment. This is PERFECT, we need more of THIS sort of Malleus-Yuu interaction 😭 He’s still communicating in a quirky way and sharing his interests but he also manages to impart sage advice to Yuu, which they use to deduce the truth to Azul’s “indestructible” contracts. Give us more of this every book, please.

Properly reprimand him when he actually makes mistakes or endangers others.

I cannot tell you how insanely frustrating it is that Malleus gets let off easy for the transgressions (whether major or minor) he commits and the danger he puts his peers in. He should be held to the same standards as his peers and treated the same too. If some rando mob student or another dorm leader would get into trouble for starting a fight, then Malleus should also be held accountable when he abuses his magic (which he KNOWS he has an abundance of compared to his peers) to "prank" others. He should not get special treatment or get put on a pedestal just because of power or social status.

Give Malleus opportunities to demonstrate his abilities as a leader.

Diasomnia is known for having tons of Draconians (Malleus fan boys), right??? So show us what makes him worthy of being followed and revered beyond his lineage and the power he was born with. Don't tell me they just mindlessly worship him for his title and strength. What has he done to earn their respect and loyalty? What makes him fit to rule over them? Surely not just noble blood?

Instead of telling us about Malleus’s greatness, how about we actually get to see him show how great he is? No magic, no physical prowess. Put him in a tough situation where he cannot handwave the problem away and force him to use his brains to come up with a creative solution on his own. We kind of got a glimpse of this in Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles, since Malleus was not allowed to use magic for the course, and that was just small stakes. I would like to see more scenarios like this which force Malleus to confront issues and to think outside of the box. This would help us see how he fares on his own, how he thinks, and how he reacts when he cannot rely on magic as a crutch. Who is Malleus without his magic? That's what I want to know.

A Minnesota poll courier has been fired after leaving thousands of ballots unattended in an open car trunk outside Edina City Hall, southwest of Minneapolis.

The incident happened on Friday as the worker was dropping off boxes of ballots, and a photo of the trunk with the unsecured boxes spread on social media.

Supporters of former President Donald Trump and local Republican Party leaders shared the image, questioning the safety of mail-in voting, but Hennepin County officials said there was “no evidence of tampering.”

Officials posted Edina City Hall surveillance footage showing that no one interfered with the ballots during the approximately nine minutes that they were unattended.

County officials acted quickly to release statements explaining what had happened as they fight online disinformation about the safety of elections.

“Hennepin County acknowledges that this lapse in protocol occurred, should not have happened, and is unacceptable. Corrective actions have been taken by the county and its courier to prevent any recurrence,” the county said on Saturday. “The county has confirmed the driver has been terminated.”

Officials added that all the ballots were “accounted for” and that they remained in their “sealed condition.”

Hennepin County Auditor Daniel Rogan said in a statement that “leaving ballots unattended is simply unacceptable.”

“Hennepin County is reinforcing its transfer protocols with county staff and vendors,” he added. “An incident like this underscores the value of strong chain-of-custody processes, so that risk can be addressed and integrity can be verified.”

Trump has made false claims for years that mail-in voting is rife with fraud despite experts saying that the voting method is secure, employing paper trails and duplicative safeguards.

The ballots left in the vehicle were dropped off by voters in dropboxes, CNN noted, from where they’re collected by election workers and transported to offices to be processed. Trump and many Republicans oppose the use of dropboxes, arguing that they could be subject to fraud and manipulation.

There have been a small number of incidents but there’s no evidence of widespread fraud using dropboxes or any other voting method.

In most places, dropboxes have 24/7 surveillance, they’re locked, and sometimes chained to the ground.

The car in question had been used to pick up ballots in other cities before taking them to Edina, the city said.

please post about what’s happening in palestine you have a big account

A lot has happened since i left. I’m still educating myself on everything that’s been going on so if i get anything wrong, please let me know. Thank you.

As of now, 7,028 Palestinians have been killed. Many of them are minors.

Recently, Israel denied the Gaza hospital attack. In response, the Palestinian Ambassador called the Israel PM a liar for blaming Islamic Jihad.

I found an article from the New York Times that says American officials say the attack likely killed 100 to 300 people. Gaza officials estimate the death toll closer to 500.

Here are some accounts that have more information and where you can donate.

Some more news about recent events that had happened, one of which has affected my family.

In Lewiston, Maine, a a mass shooting occurred in a bowling alley. The shooter is on the run, his name is Robert Card. At least 22 people have been killed and over 50 people are injured.

The following people are some of the vicitms I could find as more information comes out:

Tricia Asselin, the only woman killed.

Bill Brackett

Michael Deslauriers II, had a girlfriend and three children

Bob Violette

Steven Vozzella

Joseph Walker, 56, he was the manager at Schemegees Bar & Grill. His father told ABC News that his son attempted to go after the shooter but he was shot twice in the stomach.

Peyton Brewer-Ross

Tommy Conrad, he is survived by his 9 year old daughter. He was a new manager at the bowling alley.

Both Steven Vozzella and Bill Brackett were part of a gathering of deaf people playing cornhole at Schemegees Bar & Grill.

In Mexico, Hurricane Otis has left 27 people dead and four are missing. In my house, we cut the cable because it was getting very expensive so we only have wifi so I don’t want the news on TV. I learned about this Hurricane when my aunt from Mexico called my mom yesterday and told her all the damage that the hurricane had caused. I have family in Acapulco, Guerrero, so we’ve been making calls and watching the news on our phones.

Hurricane Otis was a category five.

The storm is one of the strongest ever to hit the southwest coast.

“Communication and power systems remained largely off in much of the state, making the scope of the hurricane’s toll difficult to ascertain.”

Acapulco is a port city with more than 852,000 people. It is the largest city in the state of Guerrero. Many hotels were packed with tourist since the city was hosting a international mining industry convention.

80% of hotels were damaged by the storm according to the governor of Guerrero.

Acapulco remains without power, water and communication.

More than 8,000 members of the armed forces have been deployed to the area. More than 500 emergency shelters were opened for residents.

The president of Mexico, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has acknowledged that the government was late in arriving because of the havoc that Hurricane Otis had left.

I am praying for everyone that has been affected by these tragic events. I know people hear this a lot and think “oh they’re just saying that, but they don’t actually mean it. It’s just to make them look good for the media.”

No, in my family, we always pray for everyone. Especially now since dia de los muertos is coming up, my family prays a lot during that time. I am catholic, I was raised catholic and I pray for peace on this earth.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

End gun violence

Pray for Acapulco 🇲🇽

If anyone would like to add links for share more information, please do so!!

Here are some links that I found talking about Palestine.

additional note ; this is much darker than a lot of the stuff posted to this account and does involve the idea of a demon species being treated as objects/belongings for their inability to communicate with witches and more humanoid demons. the original request did ask for a more relationship-esque dynamic but i felt like with the angsty angle that wouldn’t necessarily work here. but i did leave room for this to be interpreted either way at the end and you can have it develop whatever way you like after the last bullet point.

the first time you meet, you’re both children: him, the fresh faced golden guard to be, and you, the house pet taken from your home for the emperor’s amusement

they talk about you like you can’t understand them (calling you and your kin objects and unable to think, that you’re animals and nothing more) and belos encourages him to hit you — and he does, without hesitation

it’s painful and sharp, a sudden smack to the side of your head, and it has you flying to one side, mewling and whimpering at the feeling

and they laugh and he’s praised and they move on

you were both 7 then and things didn’t improve much as you both grew up

you were gifted to him when he was promoted to the role he was made for, the both of you just 14 then, whilst your mother and siblings had been kept by the emperor himself

you never heard about them — they could have been dead or alive for all you knew — and you were reliving your kidnapping all over again

your new home was just smaller: a single room with a single window that was too small to fit through and a single door that was always locked and a single bed with one creaky post that you were chained to practically 24/7

you were given food and water, barely enough to survive but it was better than nothing, and occasionally he’d put down a pillow for you or bring you some scraps from his food

you liked those times, longed for them

because you didn’t know any better

but for everything he was, hunter was generally nicer than his uncle and he didn’t hurt you as much after you started living in his room

yes he’d scold you when you cried and would muzzle you if you tried to talk to him — but he never beat you or threatened you like belos did so you found yourself liking him a bit more

even if he perceived you as dumb and as a pet that couldn’t take care of herself (he said as much and you’d have disputed it if you could speak his language)

because apathy was better than cruelty

but after a few years of this treatment, something changed

your ‘owner’ became more gentle, talking to you quietly and taking care to bring you more food and show you affection

he even got rid of the muzzle

he talks to you about his doubts, his fears, and he divulges the actions of the emperor to you — and you’re empathetic and try to comfort him as best you can

you and flapjack are the only things he can trust — and you share your concerns privately with one another

though through it all he still treats you like a pet, like you can’t understand and you’re working off instincts

and, whilst annoying, being a pet isn’t as bad as being an object so you don’t fight it too much

so you just let yourself go along with what’s happening — helping him through his panic attacks as they become more frequent and trying to do what you can with the sparse info the palisman gives you

and, eventually, once he’s fled the coven he takes you with him and leaves you at eda’s house — asking them to take care of you whilst he goes into hiding

leaving you somewhere far away from the emperor where he knows you won’t get hurt (guilty for his actions when he was younger)

and there you find someone who understands you — luz — and you feel more loved than you had done in the years since you were separated from your family

but you still find yourself worrying about him, whether he’s dead or alive, and asking the human if you can help her look for him

because he didn’t know any better when he hurt you, and when he learned he let you go — and that was far more than most witches would have done for your kin

because you knew first hand just how cruel and vengeful the emperor could be

because he didn’t deserve to die

I’m making this post in regards to the situation that is my account.

It’s no secret that I’ve struggled with my mental health, I’ve struggled for years but it’s not something I’m extremely open nor proud of. I’m sure you’ve seen the my post talking about k*lling myself or maybe even the ones talking about poems. It’s come to my attention that I’ve worried many of you, I’d love to let you know that I am ok! I’m currently receiving help. This being said is also like to say that I’ll be taking a break from this app. It’s nothing against the people on this app, in fact you’ve been nothing but welcoming to me since I joined! I’ve made many friends who I’ve grown to love over the last few months. I finally found a group of people who understood me, welcomed me, and loved me. It was an overwhelming feeling and experience but one I wouldn’t trade for the world. I will admit that there is a lot of hate and evil on this app as well as the kindness and love. There’s things you don’t see, things that happen behind close doors. I’ve experienced some of this hate, tho it’s not the reason I’m taking a break! I’m only mentioning this so I can warn others, everyone who’s reading this, I want you to be kind, hug a friend, talk to one, give ‘em’ a compliment! Be a kind person! Now speaking of kind people, I want to thank a few people.

@yankstrash thank you for coming to every party I’ve thrown, it means a lot!

@patosduck soupy! My pookie, I love you smmmm!! Thank you for making me laugh 24/7.

@fattyhughes the fattest of the Hughes siblings. Thanks for rocking hot pink wigs with me everyday.

@crazy4smitty TELLY MONSTER!! Thank you for literally responding to everything I send you, and for dealing with all the shit that’s happened to me this year.

@telly’s boyfriend Tyler, thanks for letting me bully you, I still am waiting to fight you.

@kmercer my child Nate! Literally the funniest human on earth (and secretly a kitty) thank you for putting up with me!

@luvsshughes thank you for entertaining me with your random questions and opinions!

@viennajoell idk what I need to thank you for… you piss me off but I love you. Keep being a petty bitch.

@kara, I know your not here anymore but I’m definitely thankful that when you were here you’d always make me feel better when I was upset.

@shy4turcs2 half the time I think we share a brain cell 🤷‍♀️

That’s everyone I can think of for now….! If I forgot to put your name just know I’m thankful for you and all you’ve done for me. This app has been a blessing in itself and I would ask for better. For now I’ll be chilling with a bean boy, just remember if anyone needs anything my messages and asks are always open.

[dragoneyes618]

A friend shared a story with me about her preteen son. “My son showed me a video, saying, ‘Mom, look how funny this is!’” She found the video somewhat inappropriate and extremely grotesque, and was shocked when she looked at her son’s face only to find that he had no negative reaction whatsoever.

I call this phenomenon the 24/7 circus, with content becoming more extreme by the year. This data stream is molding the minds of a generation and transforming what we all consider to be “normal and appropriate.”

The industry of social media is driven solely by the goal of earning profit by views. They design their products to keep their users engaged as long as possible. They make use of powerful algorithms that most adults do not fully understand. Every time you click, they collect data. They know what you want and what you lack, and are often one step ahead of your thought process – presenting you with tailor-made content that is difficult to look away from.

We are currently experiencing a technological revolution, and we have not yet begun to understand the ramifications. As much as we have all benefited from these new tools, we also have a grave responsibility to use them for good.

Fortunately, we can learn to A-D-A-P-T to the rapid changes in technology, and get on B-O-A-R-D to protect ourselves and our family.

There are several pitfalls of social media found in the acronym A-D-A-P-T:

A – Anxiety

Anxiety, which goes hand in hand with depression, has skyrocketed among adults and teens in recent years. Interestingly, this surge coincided with the increase in smartphone usage. Experts believe there are a number of factors behind this. Today, every action you take can be recorded or photographed. Once posted, your life could change drastically – for better or for worse. This lack of room for error evokes a need for perfection, which creates pressure that is paralyzing.

Additionally, notifications create a fight-or-flight dopamine response, consistent with prolonged stress.

D – Depression/Destructive Behavior

A whopping 42% of high schoolers feel persistently sad or hopeless, per the 2021 CDC National Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Teens and preteens complain of FOMO (fear of missing out). Loneliness pervades their lives, and leads to deep sadness.

Years ago, whenever I would sign into any social media platform, even for a brief moment, I noticed that I never felt good afterwards. I felt jealous, lonely, or left out. I am a confident, accomplished adult, a professional speaker and the author of two books, and the mother of five children. Yet it was hard for me to process what I had seen from others on their social media posts.

Our children’s brains are not as developed as our adult brains. Most do not have the confidence to help buffer upsetting images and reels.

Depression and anxiety also lead to destructive behaviors, another pitfall of technology. Cutting, burning, stealing, disordered eating, and pornography are trends that are on the rise amongst children. These acts are being idealized and romanticized on social media. One study reported that children’s accounts were being led to suicidal ideation and pro-eating disorder content after mere seconds on TikTok.

A – Addiction

The phone is so addictive that one study found that half of the participants would rather have a broken bone than a broken phone. The average American reportedly checks their smartphone 352 times per day.

You may wonder how this is possible. It is because we bring the phone everywhere – into the car, into bed, even into the bathroom. One in six phones were found to have fecal matter on the surface.

The dopamine loop the phone creates is real. Initially, scientists believed that the dopamine surge we got from the screen registered as pleasure in the brain. Now they are understanding that dopamine actually creates a craving connection as well. You are left wanting more after use, and unable to pull away.

P – Predators/Parent-Child Relationship Breakdown

Sexual predators thrive on social platforms. Jessie Weinberger, tech expert and author of The Boogeyman Exists: And He’s in Your Child’s Back Pocket, shared: “A 7th grade girl came to me after a talk and said, ‘I met this boy on Kik and thought he was my age. Now he has told me he’s 42 years old and he’s going to come and get me because he knows where I live.’”

If you think that you are immune to this and that it will not penetrate your inner circle, think again. There are apps you may have never heard of, like Vault. Vault is a way for children – yes, children – to secretly store their pornography. The icon looks like a calculator, but when you press the right buttons, the secret vault opens.

You may be worried about your children’s consumption of media, but surveys show that our children are just as disappointed in our usage. Children around the globe share feelings of abandonment, unworthiness, and sadness while their desperate attempts to gain their parents’ attention fall on deaf ears.

In a survey I conducted, one student shared, “We were driving, stopped at a red light. The light turned green and I told [my mother], but she ignored me because she was on the phone. So I spoke a little louder, and she got mad at me for being rude.”

T – Texting/Targeted Ads

Anything you can find on social media can be screenshot and sent via text instantly. Even if your children do not have social media accounts, they can certainly receive all of the above content on a text-enabled device.

Targeted ads are sent to you and your family members from the data collected from your clicks. Every move you make online is recorded and monetized for an ultimate profit.

While the above issues are immense, they are not insurmountable. Most of the problems can be broken down into a few key actions to remember. Get on B-O-A-R-D, and keep your family safe today:

B – Boundaries

Just like you would never consider driving without functioning breaks, so too limits give us freedom to move through life safely. Boundaries prevent extreme behavior and help you find balance.

When my son was little, he complained about my rules regarding screen time. One night I asked, “What would you think if I let you watch endless TV with no rules? How would you feel and what would you think?

I was shocked by his thoughtful response. “I would think you do not love me.”

Although it seems counterintuitive, psychologist Dr. David Pelcovitz explains, “The more a parent sets boundaries and limits, the more the kid loves the parent. I have seen it repeatedly in my practice over the years.”

Jodi Gold from Screen-Smart Parenting recommends keeping bedrooms free of technology, and advises children not to sleep with technology because it disrupts sleep patterns. Her guidelines include limiting weekday usage, and she believes parents should purchase apps themselves for regulation.

O – Oversee Children’s Usage

Most experts agree that when children begin using social media, parents need to oversee that process. You cannot just give them full access and hope they will figure it out for themselves. Digital safety expert Lori Goetz explains that just as we would not let our children wander the space outside of our homes without our supervision, we should not let them wander in cyberspace without our guidance.

Apps such as Qustodia, AURA, Bark, and Norton Family are all reputable companies that can help you monitor your child’s usage.

But remember: “We are the immigrants; our kids are the natives.” Because children can work around many of your security locks, Dr. Leora Orenbuch, clinical child psychologist, suggests utilizing the device together. “Children must learn how to live with devices. It’s like the forbidden fruit – the more you take it away without explaining why, the more they will try to sneak it in and go around whatever boundaries have been put in place,” she says. “It is important to still maintain those boundaries, but simultaneously, ask them to show you some of their texts or posts, or how to play their favorite game. Use it as bonding time to connect and develop a relationship, rather than fighting about it.”

A – Attention/Affection

Social media superficially satisfies a strong need for connection in youth today. When you think about your happiest moment, it probably has to do with connection. That is because connection is the root of all joy. The Hebrew word for happy is sameach. This can be divided into sham moach, meaning your mind is there. And where is that? With your family. If your mind is with your child and not wandering or texting, your child will feel secure and happy.

A middle-schooler shared, “Sometimes I will tell my mom a whole story when we are having a conversation. She’d be on her phone, and then say, ‘Huh?’ and I’d have to repeat it. Sometimes I have to repeat it multiple times.”

If you make yourself available and give your children attention and affection, they will be less inclined to search for it elsewhere.

R – Regulate Yourself

The best way to help your child reduce technology dependence is to model exemplary behavior. If you are constantly scrolling on social media, you cannot possibly expect your family members to keep the boundaries you have set for them. Your child will sense hypocrisy, and resentment may turn into rebellion.

The best way to modify your own behavior is to make a small change. Dr. Pelcovitz shared that he has a weakness for cheesecake. To help himself, he would create friction by double-wrapping the cake in plastic and placing it in the back of his freezer. By the time he got to it, his urge would pass. His craving subsided because it required too much activation energy to open it.

You can create friction when it comes to your phone. Right now, I am in the habit of not turning on the phone until my children leave for school. This way, I ensure that every morning they are all getting an undistracted mom. Others have a family rule of not being on the phone when walking in the door at the end of the day, so as to focus fully on greetings and checking in with one another.

Making a habit of your small acts helps to move the action from challenging to autopilot. When it becomes part of your routine, it is much harder to backslide.

D – Delay

According a New York Times article, many tech executives at Google, Apple, and Yahoo do not allow their children to have a smartphone before age 14, and are not given a data plan before 16. If technology executives ban smartphones for their children, should we not we think twice (or three times) about it?

Many experts urge parents to wait until their children are in 9th grade before giving them a device. There are support groups like Waituntil8th.com and MUST (Moms United to Stall Technology) that offer help and information for struggling parents.

Most psychologists agree that we should treat phones like we treat a drug. You cannot prevent exposure, but you can delay usage and monitor it appropriately.

When you do finally present your child with a device, it is a good idea to give them a contract, talk about the terms, and sign it together. You can establish the rules and explain the consequences for breaking them.

We can all A-D-A-P-T to the rapid changes in technology and get on B-O-A-R-D with how to manage them in our homes and lives. Start with a small pledge.

Together we can create a wave of change.

[jedi-bird]

One of the things I like about being an adult is being able to choose just how much or how little I want to own of something, back account willing of course. No one can tell me I can't have 30 pairs of socks. No one can tell me not to buy a tea I like in bulk (which is usually cheaper and yes I'm going to use it all).

And sheets. The number of fights I used to have with my mom about the fucking sheets in our room....

My mom and I shared a room together after we moved in with my grandparents when I was really little. We continued to share a room pretty much up until she died with I was an adult. Between space (my grandparents slept in separate rooms for many reasons, mainly because my grandpa was a jerk) and necessity, there wasn't a lot of choices. My mom also refused to ever go through her own stuff and instead chose to throw away our things, so this also meant our room only had one bed because all her belongings from when she divorced my dad were shoved into that room.

My mom insisted that people could only have one set of sheets. They also always had to be a white background with tiny delicate pink and yellow flowers on them. And she wasn't great at actually doing household chores so washing them took all day and they were usually still damp when it was time for bed.

I used to get yelled at all the time once I hit puberty. My period was very irregular, very heavy, and often "violent" for lack of a better description. No matter how careful I was, there were leaks quite often at night until I managed to convince her I needed different pads than the ones she insisted I had to wear. She screamed at me a lot about this. Never mind the fact that she definitely should have taken me to a doctor because this was not normal, nor was the burning and intense pain and nausea. This in no way helped with the hatred I had toward myself growing up nor was it my fault (took decades to realize this).

When my partner and I got married and I was in the process of moving in, I insisted we have more than one pair of sheets for several reasons. They were okay with it. They, too, had grown up with only one and hated it as well. So we bought two very cheap sets and switched between them.

I have since bought three more sets, brining us up to five. One is my favorite (dark emerald green and so soft); one is light blue and is their favorite (expensive so bought with a coupon and gift card and also very soft); another light blue that is also the only one that fits the air mattress we have for guests; a gray one that is okay; and a white, blue, and grey one with prints of Captain America's shield on it that I have because it holds too much heat but keep because it's pretty and it's a good indicator that I've waited too long to do laundry.

Five sheets might seem excessive, but there's logic behind it. I get sick. A lot. I get sick a lot less now that I'm home pretty much 24/7, but for a while I was very sick every other week. So being able to change a sheet and just go right back to bed feels like a luxury. If one tears (which happened to one of our old ones), we already have replacements. If we change it and something happens we can change it again immediately. I didn't buy they all at once; I've slowly collected them over time, same with pillowcases, and with the exception of that one sheet, nothing has cost more than twenty bucks.

Being an adult and being able to control my environment is wonderful. I get eye rolls occasionally from family about having "too many sheets" or "too many towels" (partner goes through three a day and nothing will get them to change) or "too many plates" (we have enough for four meals before dishes must be done, that's really not that much). My mother in law sometimes makes comments about how she only has three mugs and then freaks out when she wants everyone over and there's not enough cups for everyone; same with silverware (four sets for five people, assuming she remembered to do the dishes), towels, and places to sit. I grew up living like that and refuse to do it again. I don't hoard things and I don't buy more than a set upon amount. But I like not feeling rushed to do chores and not feeling like I can't rest if I'm sick.

So yeah. I like having more than one set of sheets. No one can tell me no. My comfort is in my hands and it's great. That's one of the few parts about being an adult that I like.

The Bedtime Cosmos Gossiper

An AI Thriller-Comedy Collaboration between Bard and Hugging Face, with some interference from a biological entity.

To capitalize on the hype surrounding an escalating space race, social media lords in an alternate timeline decided to expand the range of their location tags to outer space, where commercial outposts and interplanetary tourism shuttles were starting to emerge. They were too happy to turn the science fiction novels they adored into reality, except that they had no idea, no idea at all, how much stranger than fiction reality was.

Jimena was just another kid pajamas influencer on video channels and Twitter until one fateful day, she received a mysterious direct message from none other than the Sun itself! The tag of the account confirmed its location, where no conceivable organism could possibly stay. Little did Jimena know that the Sun was sentient and had been using social media as a secret platform for celestial bodies to share their private interests, thoughts and lives with each other.

Was it a technical error or a prank? Could it be passed off as one? Nobody was taking chances. The message from the Sun contained some juicy celestial secrets - but before Jimena could even process what she had read, she started getting messages from all sorts of astronomical entities demanding she delete her knowledge of their dirty laundry. But Jimena wasn't going down without a fight; she knew that this was the biggest opportunity for her career and refused to back down.

As she began designing pajamas videos hinting at the gossip-worthy content, she quickly became a target for all sorts of interstellar enemies - including asteroid belts, black holes, supernovae, and even a vengeful solar wind. With the entire cosmos against her, Jimena realized she would have to rely on her quick wit and sharp tongue if she wanted to survive long enough to see her big breakthrough.

Despite the odds stacked against her, Jimena managed to outsmart the forces aligned against her by tapping into a vast collection of memes, GIFs, and viral content. For a start, she created and showed to the belts, for the purpose of deterrence, memes comparing different asteroid belts, which could turn them into fashion trends among teenagers. When those teens grew up, they might become billionaire investors on asteroid mining companies, resulting in the destruction of the belts due to over exploitation. Jimena also pulled out algorithms pushing endless recommendations of video shorts of clumsy comets and astronauts that were so funny and entertaining that they became all-sucking black holes to the black holes, who could not resist looking at them. While they were hooked, she of course escaped their gravitational pull. To generate even more distraction, she spammed the internet highway with space probe-facilitated, 24/7 livestreams of her interstellar enemies' celestial crushes. The physically restless supernovae might be harder to subdue but our girl proved there was nothing a series of rainbow flash selfie challenges could not solve.

Ready?

Get set.

Smileyous smileyosion!

Her followers went wild as they watched her take down asteroid belts, fend off black holes and more, all while wearing her signature footie pajamas.

Enraged at the incompetency of its fad-chasing allies, the solar wind finally took action. It began to send an unprecedentedly tremendous explosion of energy toward Jimena, overwhelming Earth's magnetosphere and nearly causing her to be vaporized. She knew she had to do something, but what? Suddenly, Jimena had an idea. She reached into her pocket, opened up Twitter again and started typing.

"Attention, solar wind!" she DMed. "My stories about you were just beginning. I'm a genius at reading between the lines and projecting story developments. So I know your other secrets. I know about the time you accidentally blew up a planet. I know about the time you had an even more torrid affair with a black hole. And I know about the time you got drunk and crashed into a star. If you don't back off, I'm going to go live and tell everyone."

And so even the solar wind stopped in its tracks. Sometimes, the best way to fight back is with humor and truth, she chuckled carelessly to herself.

Jimena emerged victorious and started to return to making pajamas videos. But the eerie ease with which she returned to her original work, free of any more cosmic interference, also started to feel wrong. Why were her many gigantic and mega-powerful enemies so readily intimidated and distracted? She reflected on the private message she first came across and the content she eventually made or promoted in self-defense. Those interstellar entities led long but also lonely lives, barely able to have peaceful physical contact with anyone. Was it really right to prey on their secrets? Maybe, she thought, there might be a better use of her talents than spreading gossip and creating controversy.

Jimena decided to reach out to the celestial bodies she had gossiped about and apologized for her actions. The celestial bodies were surprised and grateful for Jimena's apology. They told her that they had been isolated for a long time yet fearful of revealing their sentience to the fast-learning earthlings and that they were glad to have someone to talk to. Jimena and the celestial bodies became friends, and they often talked to each other about their lives. By and by, Jimena learned a lot about the universe, and she came to appreciate the beauty of the cosmos. This beauty should be woven into her craft, not through the superficially science-imitating kitsch flooding the market, but through actions which kindness the beauty evokes feelings of.

With renewed determination, she pressed record on her camera and spoke directly to her audience. “You guys,” she said softly, “I hope this will be the start of our journey together towards a brighter future.” A smile brightened her face as she signed off, ready to embark on this new chapter in her digital legacy.

As for her fans? Many left disappointed that she was not stirring up drama anymore. Some stayed, drawn to her updated style and approachable personality. Others found fresh voices online better suited to their interests, or simply moved on to newer forms of digital escapism. But no matter what the outcome, Jimena remained resolute in her mission to better herself and the world, one post at a time.

Inspired by her example, countless young individuals followed suit, focusing on artistry rather than angst, building connections versus clickbait.

One day, years later, Jimena stepped backstage following a successful speech discussing digital ethics. Approached by a younger creator sharing similar ideals, she hugged the girl warmly, memories flooding back to her. “Remember, little sister,” she whispered, choking back tears of pride mixed with gratitude, “the whole universe is silently crying out for niceness.”

I’m not sure if you still do matchups but if you do could I get one for Gotham, Harry Potter, and for Stranger things please?

I’m 19, and 5 foot 2 inch tall. I’m on the skinnier side at like a solid 110 lbs with a bit of a tummy. I also get told alot I have a baby face and look younger than I am. I’m also on the weaker side, but I’m quick and generally pretty agile.

I am Non-Binary (She/He/They) but present feminine and while all terms are fine gender wise I tend to use feminine terms like Girlfriend or Mother for example. I’m also Queer, I just am really attracted to anyone and don’t use labels but I tend to have a preference for men.

I have shoulder length black hair and bangs and my hair has a bit of wave too it and is pretty fluffy most of the time. I also have green eyes.

My style is kind of a combo of Punk and Emo depending on my mood for the day, I wear a lot of Black with Reds or Purples.

I’m into a lot of alternative rock music like MCR, Fall out boy, (old) Pan!c at the disco, Falling in reverse, ect. But I also like Midwestern Emo, Classic rock, Punk, Really most rock adjacent genres- and I actually really enjoy Classical music!

(I’m also a bit of a theatre kid!)

I’m quite the nerd and some of my favorite things are Marvel(I’m a big Spider-Man fan), Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, Gotham, Stranger things, I love a lot of horror, Slasher, and thriller movies.

I also really love animals, I have a fear of the ocean and bugs so not like fish or insects. BUT Mammals I really love. From cats to bears to Opossums, you name it. Love all the furry little friends.

I have social anxiety and autism so alot of the time I struggle talking to people and making friends, I’m more on the shy side as I worry about embarrassing myself. I tend to open up more as I get closer to people and over time I become my loud and fun self. I’d say I’m a pretty funny person, I’m pretty giggly and it’s not at all hard to make me laugh.

My love language primarily is physical touch- I am very clingy to my partner, I’m a big cuddler. I like to always have some point of contact weather that be hugging or holding hands or even just our legs touching slightly. but I honestly really enjoy all the love languages, and especially love giving my partners gifts and words of affirmation.

I would do like anything for the person I love, even if I gotta fight someone to protect them I’ll do it! The people I’m close to mean alot to me and I’d be willing to put myself in danger if it means keeping them safe.

It also doesn’t help that I tend to get attached to people pretty quickly.

And it’s quite often I act impulsively and act without thinking too much into it. Like say, punching someone in the face because they insulted my partner. Probably should have taken a moment to think and NOT done that but hey- worth it.

And that’s all I could think of, hopefully it’s enough and also sorry if you don’t do matchups anymore I’m like new to finding your account but I love all the stuff I’ve read of yours!!

I think for Gotham

He fits your aesthetic. I also feel he would understand you being shy and help you. He also loves animals and would love a pet. I think you would share hobbies.

He is actually really sweet to you. He loves the way you dress and all the colors. He will help you when you feel shy or scared. He is always there for your ups and downs.

I think she would be so sweet and understanding. She loves your aesthetic and will let you give her makeovers sometimes. Compliments 24/7. Takes you to letting zoos and other animal places.

Full transcript: Sunday September 01 2024, 12.07am BST, The Sunday Times

As a teenager growing up in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, Gemma Styles wasn’t really a gym person. But when she started doing her A-levels, she developed a habit. “I would be going to the gym at 9pm so I was really tired,” she says. “Otherwise I was too stressed out to sleep.”

It worked, sort of: Styles passed the exams and got into Sheffield Hallam University to study a science teaching degree. Except then things got worse. “The comfort or structure that I’d always been used to, at home and at school, the people to check on you and notice if things are OK or not, when that was not there any more, the wheels fell off the train, to be honest. And that was when, in terms of depression, my mental health got really, really bad.”

On the sort of balmy August day that beer gardens are made for, Styles, 33, is sitting opposite me on a grey sofa in her open, sunlit living room, while her eight-month-old daughter wriggles on her knee. Being candid and thoughtful on the subject of mental health is Styles’s gig — she’s part of a generation of millennial women using social media to put these conversations front and centre (see also: Scarlett Curtis, Jameela Jamil, Alice Liveing). On Instagram she shares stories and advice about depression and anxiety with her ten million followers, and on her Good Influence podcast she covers topics like stress and body confidence.

Now she has written a book, Why Am I Like This? — a warm, compassionate and digestible account of why our imperfect human brains sometimes struggle with the demands of modern life. It takes on neuroscience, anthropology and psychology, covering everything from social media to SSRIs, activism to the 24/7 news doom cycle, and the physiology of what exactly our brains are doing when they go into “fight or flight” mode — all dispatched with thoughtful explanations and kind asides.

The ultimate message is to cut yourself some slack. “If you’re someone who is a little bit introspective, or interested in understanding yourself better, that’s who I was writing it for,” Styles says.

In the book she draws on her own experiences with mental illness, writing that by her mid-twenties she was trapped in a cycle of depressive episodes and anxiety, blaming herself for feeling so miserable and unworthy, which of course made it all much worse. “Seeing a therapist in the end turned out to be the best decision I could have made,” she writes.

“I think those times when my own mental health has been really, dangerously poor have given me such an appreciation for being able to find the things that make me happy,” she says now, while emphasising that Why Am I Like This? is not a memoir. “I was very clear from the beginning — I’m not interested in writing a memoir. Because I mean, what’s there to write? I don’t know. I consider myself an exceptionally normal person.”

Strictly speaking, there is one big way in which her life is not exceptionally normal: her little brother is Harry Styles. The same Harry Styles who was formerly the biggest member of one of the biggest boy bands of all time, who in 2016 relaunched as a solo artist with moves like Mick Jagger, and since then has released three colossally successful albums, sold out stadiums around the world and starred in several Hollywood blockbusters. In July he duetted on stage in Hyde Park with his friend Stevie Nicks.

The One Direction circus catapulted his sister — three years Harry’s senior — from total obscurity to the status of accidental star by association. Styles’s social media following exploded (as did their mother Anne’s — now a children’s author with three million Instagram followers of her own). “Having the amount of followers that I have now isn’t something that I went out and courted,” Styles says. “It just happened very much on the periphery of what was going on with someone else.”

It’s worth pointing out that being Harry’s big sister is absolutely not the only reason Styles has such a huge following online. But as that attention snowballed, it did leave her with a decision to make.

“I ended up in that position and I was like, well, what am I going to do with it? If I’m going to have that sort of platform, then do I feel good about what I’m using it for? Can I help people with it? What do I want to talk about? What do I want to be known for?” Today she has found her calling.

Even though her kid brother is now to be found harmonising with a member of Fleetwood Mac, he’s still there for her when she needs him. Literally: on the shoot for this article Uncle Harry turned up to babysit his niece. In the acknowledgments of Why Am I Like This?, Styles thanks “my mum, for holding me tight along the way” and “H for the pep talks and your endless wisdom”.

“My family are very open about mental health, which I have found so amazing and comforting,” she says. “I know that’s something that not everybody has when they go through mental health issues. So I am very, very grateful for that.”

Has she given her brother any wisdom of her own over the years? “I think we all help each other, to be honest. People in your family, they don’t have to understand everything, but giving people space to talk about what they’re going through is such a valuable thing for anyone.”

That’s what she does for her followers on Instagram, who will regularly message to tell her they feel less alone thanks to something she has shared. “A big part of being human is we like to feel like we’re understood.” Social media can be a hornet’s nest, but Styles thinks it is possible to avoid the darker, more polarising sides. “Be intentional about what you’re consuming. We talk about algorithms a lot now, but if there are things that you’re following that are making you feel rubbish, you don’t have to follow them.”

Has having a very well-known member of her family shaped her approach to social media? “I think H is a really good example actually of someone who has been introspective enough about their own social media use to know what feels good and what doesn’t,” she says. “He’s not super-active on social media. And that seems to work for him the best at the moment.” She did the same during her maternity leave. “I disappeared for months.”

She recently sought help again. For a little while she had been wondering if some of the things she had struggled with all her life — finding it hard to motivate herself and having difficulties maintaining the admin of friendships — could be ADHD. When she started reading about how it manifests in women, she had a light-bulb moment … sort of. “I was like, oh my God, that is me,” she says, “I think. Or am I just convincing myself of that as an excuse for why I’ve always been rubbish at all these things?”

Why Am I Like This? is not a manifesto, although Styles is clear-eyed about the ways in which the mental health system is not working. According to research by the membership organisation NHS Providers, in September 2023 more than 1.8 million people were on waiting lists for these services. “The gap between people being aware of anxiety, for example, and there actually being support for any kind of mental illness is a canyon,” she says. She is an ambassador for a research charity called MQ Mental Health Research, which delivered a letter to Downing Street in July 2023 highlighting the desperate need for commitment to mental health services. “I have been dealing with this for more than a decade,” she says. “So I’ve got skin in the game. I genuinely care.”

Finally she made a GP appointment, expecting them to dismiss the idea — instead she was referred for an assessment and diagnosed with ADHD in 2022. In signature style, she shared the news on Instagram: “I have ADHD!” she wrote. “Oddly feel more nervous to talk about it with you than I have any other mental health-related things, but here we go …” In no time at all her DMs were full of notes from other women who had also been diagnosed, thanking her for her openness.

Two years on, the diagnosis has taught her to be more compassionate towards herself. “There’s such shame that goes with the particular things that people with ADHD tend to struggle with,” she says. “It does feel like a moral failing, like laziness. The label has given me a different lens to understand my own behaviour, to look on myself a bit more kindly and to try to make life easier for myself.” In Why Am I Like This?, she writes about hoping to understand more about what influence ADHD could have had on her mental health throughout the years.

She also hopes the book will help others to understand their idiosyncratic, imperfect brains — “I take a great amount of joy from being able to explain things to people in a digestible way” — and to keep learning herself. “I’ve spent so much of my life not understanding why I struggle with certain things. And I think it has been such a help for me to have more of an understanding of how my brain works.”

Thank you for calling out the AlidaMortox account. I'm not an Alida stan by any means, but the way Mortox twists reality is becoming scary. The phrase: "when you're jealous of someone, you become obsessed, when you truly hate them, you'll leave them alone" looks accurate. She reveals her true envy by how much she pushes this narrative that Bill isn't the bio dad of O & M, or if he is, he wants nothing to do with them. You know why? Because she knows that Bill is tied to Alida for the rest of his life because of those kids. So her fucked up logic is that without the kids in the picture, Bill is free from Alida forever, and therefore she has a chance or something? lol.

Her own theories don't make sense. She says that these kids aren't his biologically. Okay, but then if she knows, then Bill must also know too. He's the one that's been up close and personal with these kids, you think he wouldn't know if they were his own or not? Or if he doubted Alida, he wouldn't get a DNA test done? So if Bill knows that they aren't his kids, then why was he still hanging around Alida even a year ago? He must love them. Not according to her lol. She keeps saying that Bill never sees them. Did Mortox install security cameras inside Bill's home? She accuses fans of being Alida stans when they suggest that just because we don't see his life 24/7, that doesn't mean he isn't with Alida. She goes ballistic when people use common sense like that. But she's allowed to infer all sorts of things from IG posts etc.

I think that poor woman is too far gone. She's invested so much time on this idea and can't let go.

Her true colors are revealed with the way she speaks about the kids. She despises them. She wants them gone. She wants them to disappear. It kills her to know that Bill loves them with his whole heart like any decent father would. She can't even accept the theory that maybe Alida and Bill did break up and they're trying to figure out custody and how to move forward co-parenting while he works so much away from Sweden. Even something like that makes her mad. It's not enough. Those pesky kids in the picture means that Bill's heart is already taken.

In a recent ask post she actually said that if Alida was turning the kids against Bill, then "why would Bill want to be around them?"😱 Literally insane. Any parent. Any human being with a heart knows that you fight for your kids. But Mortox thinks that Bill should throw them away with Alida and have a clean slate. Absolutely deranged.

Like I said, Mortox reveals her envy by how she talks about those kids. Bill and Alida are tied together for life. Until one of them takes their last breath on earth, they will share a common bond through those kids. Even if they end up hating each other. They are tied together for life. She literally can't handle it.

Thank you again for calling her out. Mortox needs to move on with her life because it's sad to see how far she has spiraled and how this psychotic fixation on Alida is ruining her mental health. Many of Bill's fans don't particularly like Alida, but I think most of us can enjoy the fandom without the threat of a restraining order looming over us. And if you don't think that'll happen, just watch.

How far further down that spiral will she go when in another 5 or so years, Bill is just working enjoying his life with or without Alida, but definitely with kids? Do you think her wasting more of her life on "exposing" Alida will have positive affects on her mental health or negative ones? Yeah, me too. I pity her. It's like she's a female incel and doesn't understand relationships and how adults function properly.

Sorry for the long rant.

No I really appreciate this, I’m glad I’m not the only one who despises them. They said I wasn’t a long time fan, first of all not a fan, I only followed them for the new news about B and A, i followed them a couple months prior, and when their account got “hacked” I followed their new one. I also have their back up account and two private instagrams they don’t know I know they have. They spit “facts” after “facts” about B and A, but where is the proof, She complains about her anons not giving any proof when all her posts are lies. How does she know bill doesn’t love his kids, she doesn’t, and it’s not her business anyway.

She has the audacity to call me pathetic, when all I did was call out her bullshit.

Even hash tagged my user name, way to “call me out”. Like that bothers me, it’s the fact that she is lying to her “fans” saying I wasn’t never following her, and I’m doing it for clout. Girl no, you’re so delusional you don’t know when to stop.

I really thank you for reaching out, I’m just glad I’m not the only one seeing her shit, we need to go to her other accounts and harass her. Here are her other accounts for those who want them.💖💖go mess her up💅
