#this person; and just you TRY not to say they're caring considerate and funny' scene but like. ANYTHING besides 'the author wrote them so'

[leatherbookmark]

(post sponsored by the enormous cloud of authorial THEY'RE SUCH BESTIES, TRUST ME, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH hanging over a fic that shows the characters exchanging nothing but unfunny jabs and being ultimately unhelpful to each other for The Entirety of the fic. which i assume is hilarious if you're below twenty but Alas, I Am Not)

idk how else to say this but like. presumed [thingname], in a fanfiction way, that kinda. doesn't work. a fascinating creature

[dyemelikeasunset]

I can't sleep so I'm venting. for the most part i love my d&m readers, but oml sometimes i get qpoc blues so bad 😭😭

It's just liiiike. ppl either don't talk about Mor or completely misinterpret her personality. Like I can always tell if my readers are black or not because nonblack readers no NOT see Mor's significance, or just miss the mark when they talk about her, or they misread her personality. Like I don't understand what's so hard to understand about a cute and thoughtful artist??

AND LIKE LMAO Dom's sexuality gets brought up all the time but no one talks about Mor being a lesbian and how rare that is to find in media 😭 white lesbians are always talking about "we need more open lesbians in media!! ppl shouldn't be afraid to use the word lesbian!! blah blah" and i'm like "here you go!!" and no one claps at all lmao. Like I get it, i know why it happens, i understand racial microaggressions, i know how fandom spaces treat Black women, I UNDERSTAND BUT I CAN STILL BE UPSET. I have the right to be upset about it!!! 💀💀 And I know fem lesbians get ignored all the time, invalidated all the time, but it just sucks to see it happen to my character. I just feel like her being lesbian doesn't clock a lot of people, and I get asked to do more thirst trap art of Mor and I do want to but i'm also trying to be careful about like. Idk reducing a dark skinned fem lesbian to being validated only thru being sexy? LMAO.... Mor should be able to be attractive and lovable without tons and tons of thirst trap art (and it's not like I don't do it at all!! I'm not trying to be overprotective or deny her sexiness but I guess it's considered not enough?? give me a break)

And mannnn I was so mad actually that several comments voiced thoughts that essentially said Mor didn't "help" or "take care" of Dom enough, and that when Dom was finally opening up to her it was "Morgan finally doing something" LIKE HELLO??? HELLO??? It's DOM'S flaw that she can't open up? And Morgan does a lot??? I know immature ppl do not appreciate more soft and domestic/feminine forms of care bc they're used to taking their mothers for granted lmao but wooow I was taken aback. First of all, like, I try to show that Mor is the main cook, works just as much as Dom (let's go double income household), is always checking in on Dom's comfort as she navigates being queer, and is overall a very considerate girlfriend. AND SECOND OF ALL LMAO like even if she didn't do all that she doesn't need to have relationship currency to have a doting girlfriend, like the fucking trope of black women needing to suffer for love is so terrible I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND i"M NOT EVEN BLACK. Like there is NOTHING WRONG with their typical dynamic and I'm sick of people acting like there is. SOMEONE SAID DOM WAS LIKE A COMFORT PILLOW W NO AGENCY AND i"M LIKE WTFDYM???? She has TONS of agency and her sense of agency says she wants to LOVE AND DOTE ON HER PARTNER LIKE LMAO. WHAT?? Why is that hard to understand??? Is it because I made one (1) joke bout Mor being a pillow princess and the anti-princess squad are grinding their teeth in the bushes seething over it? Ppl are so twisted sometimes oh my goddddd. Like as an ace who was very confused navigating the lesbian dating scene as a teen and young adult I WISH i had met a pillow princess. Sometimes ppl don't realize that stone dynamics are very safe for aces!! Dom literally says she prefers it!! It's not Mor being selfish like lord please GOD ALLAH I'M TIRED I'M SO TIRED

and like on the topic of Domi overall she is more "popular" but sometimes I feel like people don't even really take the time to appreciate the significance about her either. She's not just a funny thirst trap 😭 and I feel like ppl dont acknowledge that she's asian half the time. I have so many white aces who only zone in on that aspect of her and it's like YEAH I GET IT, I'm ace and we don't have a lot of nuanced rep but she's also got more layers than that too. Tons of people related to her in the chapters where she talks about her childhood abuse yet very few people really, like, talked about the type of generational trauma that is very deeply embedded in her different cultures, no one saw that and oooof idk idk it felt inivisible. It's sometimes harder to talk about the racist microaggressions that Domi experiences thru my readers bc ppl will argue "well most webtoon leads are asian" but not many of them are asian in a way that like. talk about it. I'm born in the US so my experiences with being othered as an asian is just gonna be different and it's gonna affect my art and writing but it feels so unappreciated. I've had some queer asians relate to her but i can count them on my hand 💀 (I actually think it's two LMAO i"M SO SAD)

And going back to Dom and the comfort pillow w no agency comment lmao. This is another thing that rubs me the wrong way is once again, people are ignorant to the ways asians get pigeon-holed to media roles that have us being depicted as incapable. Maybe I want Dom to be more of a protector archetype bc I'm tired of meek Asian women in media? 🤔 Maybe I want Dom to be a prince-like character because asians get emasculated a lot?? 🤔🤔 Maybe I want Domi to maintain her prince persona instead of being "'physically' androgynous/masculine but really soft and girly on the inside uwuwu please treat me like a 'real' girl" because even in east asian media we won't allow women to exhibit strength and dependability??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Like why is a tough girl empowering but once we have a gentle and doting personality in a romance it's considered cliche and the flaw of her partner for being "too weak." MAYBE THEIR PRINCE/PRINCESS DYNAMIC COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER??? HAVE YOU CONSIDERED? I WROTE THEM THAT WAY FOR A REASON??

Good lord this turned into an essay but I have so many things on my mind always

if you read this all. Thanks. I mainly needed to scream into a towel and put this down somewhere bc I complain about these issues to my discord and they understand/validate me all the time, but I wanna give them a break 😭 I also lowkey wanna document my various feelings as I work through Dom & Mor so I can remember and also grow from it

[dballzposting]

HI i had a horrible dragon ball thought and thought i should send it to you because i haven't done that in a long time :(

love stumbling across screenshots that remind me that akira toriyama doesn't give a shit about canonical heights EVER and just says numbers when asked and doesn't follow said numbers.

Like i was taking a peep at the manga because i want to learn how to replicate the art style (my most serious art has already been damaged by the dragon balls i draw and i say it like... damaged. but i don't mean that i think thats a good thing because thats what i want) and i find these bits from the 23rd tenkaichi budokai where Yamcha (6'0") and Tien (6'2") are both like a head taller than Goku (5'9") which... no they aren't lol. but it's fun to think that they are so I'll incorporate that into my belief system regardless.

And i also found this one picture from the end of the anime (equally inaccurate about numbers which i find delightful. i am incredibly amused by this.) where Goten (??) is like also a head shorter than Trunks (5'7"? probably, that's how tall future him was at that age idk man who fucking knows. not me.) which would probably put Goten at like... Vegeta height in terms of dragon ball inaccuracies because 17 year old Future Trunks was depicted as being considerably taller than his father in canon.

And that's generally insane because as far as i'm aware Goten is usually depicted to be vaguely taller than Trunks when they grow up to what should be their full heights in fan works? which is fair because Trunks is REALLY doing his best with what he has (Vegeta dna)

Also about Trunk's height- future Trunks (malnourished by saiyan standards... and probably earthling standards too) is really only 5 cm shorter than Goku?? which is not even much actually, Future Trunks is about as tall as LIONEL MESSI which, sure I'm Argentinian and that's my like referent for short men sue me... but that's hilarious because Goku is only 5 cm taller than that like what. and adult Gohan is only 6 cm taller than that! because he's only a single fucking centimeter taller than Goku! why is he only a fucking centimeter taller than his father. who even cares about that. him? probably not.

Also to expand onto the Vegeta Height Goten thing, that'd be so funny personally because i feel like the second neurotic ass SON OF VEGETA Trunks notices this he would tear his own hair out, i think he would resent that fact with everything he had. i don't even quite know why he would hate it yet, but i do know that he wouldn't be a fan of it.

But of course none of this fucking matters. because akira toriyama is a bitchass motherfucker and if i had a wife he would piss on her.

-Yui7 after getting back from talking about Dragon ball and how much he misses Goku for like a half a day.

Hi I forgot about this ask and it has sat in my inbox for 9 slutty slutty days.

IT'S TRUE!!!!!! THE HEIGHTS ARE A MESS!!!!!!

To be fair it must be hard to give a shit when you're depicting multiple characters in complex scenes and poses and angles all of the time.

BUT THEN WHY TRY TO DISCLOSE NUMBERS AT ALL !??!?!??!

I get the impression that he just draws characters as they feel. Even though Goku went through a growth spurt before the 23rd tenkaichi budokai, he's still younger than the others and he's still always been an aspiring young shoot, so Tenshinhan and Yamucha still need to be taller (and therefore more mature) than him.

That's why Vegeta steadily got taller as he gained wisdom and muscle mass.... he had to look more important.

Goten is kept shorter than Trunks consistently, except in GT I feel like they're allowed to be on-par. But they're both definitely taller than Vegeta I mean come on.

If the real meaning comes from visual impressions then I'll be on record as saying that watching Future Trunks on-screen you definitely see one TALL STACK of fresh organic non-GMO free-range Super Saiyan BEEF. Perhaps he should be shorter like his father. But when have animes cared about genetics

Trunks is always a tall bitch and Goku is always so tall and Gohan is always so tall and Goten even is so tall. They're all so tall. And then they keep making Vegeta taller too.

Krillin just has no chance

🪐🌌💞 OCHACO IS MORE THAN JUST "HAVING A CRUSH" 💞🌌🪐

Okay, I just saw a post that I disagree with because... they said that Ochaco's whole personality now is her "crushing" on Izuku?

Admire? Yes. Her whole personality? NO.

One, the idea of her "crushing" on Izuku was driven by Mina, who loves the idea of love. Also, Tenya was brought up in that conversation, I need people to stop ignoring Tenya. As fucking big as he is, ya'll be acting like my boy is invisible.

Two, honestly because Horikoshi sticks to her being a sweet person with a badass streak I forget she even admires Izuku "romantically".

If her having a "crush" on Izuku is her whole personality, we would get a LOT more scenes of her fawning over him a lot more often. Every ten episodes even.

Also, with the admiring bit, a lot of the class looks to Izuku, too. Ochaco isn't the only one who has looked to him as some sense of inspiration. (Katsuki is right there!)

Just saying, just because a female character tends to blush or look up to a male character does that mean that she's crushing on him? You know a lot of people's responses to other people do include being fidgety or blushing, right, without meaning they're crushing on a person? Izuku tends to be fidgety with EVERYONE.

I've been around people I know they're not attracted to me at all, but even if they touch me I still get warm in the cheeks because I'm nervous or just didn't expect it.

It's a reflex.

You know how we all have that stage in our lives where we thought we had a crush on someone and then looking back we realize "that idea was driven into me" or "I didn't like them, I wanted their gender"?

Yeah, what if it's that for Ochaco?

What if that boob gag scene with Hatsume wasn't her being jealous of Hatsume but being jealous of Izuku, like she wasn't aware she was attracted to girls? Not saying she is, I know how some of you homophobic toxic ass antis are, but what if that is the case?

Usually in Shonen, the girls exhibits some crush on the boy early on, like FIRST episode or her debut.

Ochaco did not have that moment. She didn't get that moment until like, what, after the Sports Festival? Before then she was just always nice to Izuku, still is.

I get it, a lot of storylines (animes, cartoons, books, comics, etc.) tend to make the girl's crush on a boy a personality trait, but sometimes... what if it's not the case?

What if we open our eyes and realize that maybe the author is using that to show "this character isn't really having a crush, but maybe they're rethinking their own gender and sexuality" or "this isn't a crush, but just admiration"?

Now, this is just me. But I don't think Ochaco's whole personality is "I like Izuku romantically". Horikoshi would have easily made her gush over Izuku in their first meeting if he wanted. He could have not included her wanting to be a hero to take care of her parents to make it seem like she was there to be a hero to impress Izuku.

And if Ochaco was truly meant to just crush only on Izuku, then why did Mina bring up Tenya?

If Ochaco's whole personality was meant to be her "crushing on Izuku" then Horikoshi would have written her from the very start on how she could impress Izuku.

Also, now I'm thinking about it, any time Ochaco has a "jealous moment" it involves boobs. What's that about? 😆

Now before any Izuocha shippers come after me, I'm not saying Ochaco crushing on Izuku is bad or vice versa. I'm not saying she's just a lesbian. And I'm not saying I hate the ship, Izuocha is one of the last ships I'll ever hate. I find it cute, I do.

It's just when it comes to Ochaco, I see Ochaco. I see this pink themed girl who wants to be a hero to take care of her parents and save people. I see a girl who is considerate, a girl who may be small but she will body slam you. I see a girl who likes space and often finds a lot of things funny and cute.

She may think about Izuku often, but only when it seems to be revelant to the plot? Or just to show concern for a classmate like any friend would?

Nowadays, she's trying to figure out how to help Himiko.

I'm just saying, sometimes how about we look past common tropes and try to admire the character for what the author has shown.

Yes, the whole crush thing is common, but what if this is one of the times Horikoshi wants his audience to look past that and sees the characters for what they are?

If you only see Ochaco as having a crush on Izuku, than maybe you're not seeing Ochaco for who she is at all.

[kannra21]

This time I watched Fugou Keiji Balance: Unlimited for real, meaning that all this knowledge I gained about that series from the previous time was just facts coming from different posts on Tumblr. And I got to know a lot about it thanks to you. You guys were a big help in figuring out some of the series' most important aspects, I appreciate your input on it.

Now that I’ve watched both episodes. I’m going to comment on some things I haven’t seen people talking much about, I’ll try giving it some highlight so I hope you enjoy.

1) The millionaire detective *or smtng more than that*-

Many expect the main character of the series to present himself in a way that he says his name and what he does for life, to give us an insight into who he is and to give us a better idea of what to expect of the series. But instead, the first episode opens with "I had a father and I had a mother", the series opens with a tragic story and tells us about the rich person's unfortunate life. Why's that? It's very important for Daisuke's character. Because, as we go through the series, the author probably predicted that audience would start judging him according to the way he treats people and work, just like Kato always does. The author tries to warn us not to judge a book by its covers. That's why it is so important that the beginning of the series opens this way.

2) Daisuke's and Kato's teamwork-

Daisuke, being a highly classified detective, knows his rights and what he can and can not do, which he exploits a great deal. He can damage people's vehicles and traffic control but he doesn't care, bc he's a detective and bc the law is on his side. He's using this same knowledge to reach his goal faster without wasting time on things that aren't that important, which means, morally or ethically important. Emotions like insecurity, guilt and regret aren't welcomed in this job. Sensitivity to other people's needs before yours are also irrelevant. Traumatizing a mother and a child from almost getting ran over isn't something that he'd preoccupy his mind with too much. He cares about the sufficiency of the mission and working in the favor of the government, as Ryo himself said.

Kato, on the other hand, is different. People come to him in the first place and the most important thing for him is to bring them peace and security, things that all police officers should actually have in mind. He is everything that Daisuke is not.

And when he told him "You're making quite the show here. How are you going to take responsibility for this?", we can notice that something clicked in Daisuke, that he told himself "ugh I went too far I should do something about it". And then he called HEUSC and told him to send reimbursements for DOUBLE the damage costs he caused for certain people. He also gave the Abura Emirate's seventh prince a billion yen when the car didn't even cost that much. So it’s evident that Daisuke does possess feelings like guilt, he just needs to be reminded of it.

The same goes for that scene when he tried to drop the vehicle into the river, Kato reached for the girl and told her to jump out. Daisuke doesn't care if she's a kid or if she's going to explode together with the van. It is important to him to save the rest + the kids are also considered criminals, he will take it upon himself to judge them as they actually deserved it. Kato, unlike him, can't let himself do that, he just can't. That's why he saved her and let her be with Hiroshi again. I love Kato for that.

Maybe Daisuke is a sufficient detective but Kato is there to remind him that the things he's doing aren't ok. He's giving him a sense of morality and ethics and that's why I think they're put together bc they make a great team. And they truly do, the problem is, Kato can't stand him. 😅

3) This funny moment-

I love how Kamei in the second episode found out ab the tragic death of some woman by going through one of his inappropriate sites and he's like: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

Kato *annoyed bc he's as well judging him for his perverted ways and lack of devotion towards work*: "Shut up Kamei."

Kamei *big sad*: "It says she died from a drug overdose. That centerfold model Akiko Hoshida..."

Kato: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA??!! SERIOUSLY?"

Which leads me to the conclusion that:

Kato isn't that much different from Kamei.

Kato prefers only a specific type of women while Kamei drolls over every woman who looks even remotely pretty.

Kato has a type because the deceased centerfold model Akiko Hoshida and Suzue look very alike. Kato is also into "innocent" women bc he himself is innocent, as Akira stated. + He knows how to cook, refuses to drink alcoholic beverages during work hours and is actually pretty soft. Kato is more lovable than Daisuke in those aspects.

4) Kato's cluelessness-

Because of being so innocent, Kato doesn't have the ability to criticize others or judge "the way they breathe". He's too good, too considerate, too emphatic. That's why Daisuke's here to break his pretty picture of the world they're living in.

Kato was so easily deceived by the street performers and it was actually funny. Why would they do it otherwise than for money? No one wants to make an idiot out of themselves without a certain price.

He also thought of Suzue as one of them, the drug dealers I mean, acting as liaison. And it made me laugh so much bc he didn't know what's going to hit him. 😂

5) HEUSC-

I love HEUSC so much, this technology stuff is so lit, I wish I had it. It can detect lies, analize time, deduce certain information just from the help of a person's credit card, how much income they have, how much they lost over a couple of days, when and where, what were they buying. It can detect a person, personal information ab where they're from, age and date of birth. It also shows the person's heart rate. It can even work as a magnifier and control the traffic lights, isn't it crazy??

Daisuke's heart rate is always 60 during the whole interrogation. He's so freaking calm.

You also need to understand that Daisuke's session lasted longer than Cho-san's who used weak points such as family members and sense of right and wrong. Daisuke needed some time until their negotiation was done, he gave money to a drug addict in exchange for an information while Cho-san didn't lose anything, he could as well just deceive his suspect and get away with it.

Take into account that Daisuke went through a special training in England so his protocols are different from the normal Japanese ones.

6) Daisuke's jealousy-

Lmao Daisuke is stealing friends. He invited Akira to his own ramen during their Isezaki case.

He said "I can risk my life for Kato" and omg let me tell you, Daisuke became jealous so he made a move and even paid him to get into a costume to lure Kato and the rest of the hooligans to the top.

7) The elevator scene-

Kato standing in the middle of the elevator and Daisuke standing close to the corner as pinned as possible is what made my day. 😂

8) On the rooftop-

Daisuke's heart rate is 72 when shooting from a bazooka in the helicopter. Still too calm but I'd say that he's in a good physical condition considering that he's into boxing.

BTW he accidentally shoot towards Kato bc his target wasn't detected, it only wrote "primary target", he didn't do it on purpose.

But the sole thought of "stank needs to be eliminated" gets me every time. 😂

9) Daisuke joining the MCI-

Daisuke circled around the topic and refused to give the answer about why he decided to become a detective by redirecting the conversation towards Kato.

Let me tell you something, I watched too many crime series to know why he did that.

The reason is very personal.

And at the beginning of the whole anime he introduced himself to us with “I had a father and I had a mother”. I think he's trying to find the culprit for his parent's murder.

10) His lack of sleep-

Although he has lots of money, people like Daisuke tend to afford themselves a nice and cozy sleep. Despite that, Daisuke has as much under eyes as Kato. Which makes me wonder what keeps him awake at night, what's he thinking ab. Is he traumatized in a way? I can't wait for the next episodes to arrive!

Btw while watching the anime I fell in love with Kato even more, such a great character.

Page 4: Kris Jenner says her role as momager of the Kardashian clan is like being a fireman because she has to put out so many heated squabbles -- satisfying daughters Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner takes skill and Kourtney is often so fed up she fires her three or four times a day, but Kris believes she's done a good job, saying she's totally dedicated to her brood and spends oodles of time and energy going the extra mile for them

* Jailed Ghislaine Maxwell is raising a stink over federal lawmen's claims she's a prison piggy, saying the institution's busted sewer pipes, not her toilet habits, are responsible for the overwhelming stench in her cell -- lawyers for sex perv Jeffrey Epstein's accused madam and sex trafficker leveled the charge to flush out prosecutors' claims the socialite's cage stinks like a hog's pen because she doesn't flush her toilet -- her lawyer Bobbi Sternheim insists there was a pervasive stench of sewage in Ms. Maxwell's unit, necessitating guards to flush pipes by pouring water down open drains in an effort to trap and disperse gaseous emissions and at times the stench in Ms. Maxwell's isolation cell has been overwhelming due to overflowing of toilets in the cell block above -- as for Ghislaine flushing, she does it often, at the guards' bidding even, though she doesn't use the commode in her cell due to lack of privacy

Page 5: Kelly Clarkson's tacky tales of pooping in trash cans and other crude antics are grossing out her alarmed pals, who fear divorce stress is pushing the talk queen over the edge and while Kelly has loved to shock people, her cringeworthy behavior has gotten worse since filing for divorce from music manager Brandon Blackstock, father of her daughter River and son Remington -- now Kelly has many fearing she's finally flipped after recently telling talk show guest Clint Black on-air she destroyed a poor trash can by pooping in it during a quick backstage concert break and she's constantly making potty jokes and seems to get a rise out of shocking people and even by Kelly's standards, this was a step too far and people are urging her to scale back on the belching, farting and gross anecdotes because they're a turnoff and make her look trashy and her grueling workload and prickly divorce has manifested in this gross behavior where she can't seem to hold her tongue and blurts out whatever she's thinking without consideration for other people -- other stars like Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are thinking twice before inviting her to social events and for talk show rivals like Ellen DeGeneres and Drew Barrymore, it's a dream seeing her push the boundaries of taste and Kelly doesn't have a filter and as long as she's got an audience she's just going to keep on doing it

Page 7: Angelina Jolie has become a stressed-out single mom trying to care for her brood of six during the pandemic lockdown, and the strain is is showing on the 98-pound actress, but the 45-year-old, who shuns hiring a full-time nanny, still wants sole custody of her underage kids Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne, and is fighting tooth and nail with ex-husband Brad Pitt to get it; their oldest Maddox Jolie-Pitt is now 19 and considered independent although the university student frequently lives with his mother -- caring for the gang puts a big drain on Angelina's bank account and her custody war with Brad is costing a pretty penny -- Jolie and her children spend most of their time bunkered in a massive 7,500-square-foot Los Feliz mansion that boasts a huge library lined with resource books but the kids need to be separated so they can concentrate on their individual Zoom classes and someone is always hungry or needing help and at the end of the school day, when they are bored, they end up looking for Mom to find them something to do while she is trying to work on her own projects, and like most siblings, the kids fight or argue, and that can test any parent's nerves and Angie is with the kids pretty much 24/7 and it's taking a toll -- there is a glimmer of hope as schools are close to reopening and once the five youngest are back in school for several hours a day it will give Angelina the breaks she needs and hopefully she can hang tight until then

Page 8: Cover Story -- Prince William and Prince Harry bury Prince Philip, but not the ax -- despite their public displays of grief, bitter brothers William and Harry erupted in a raging royal screaming match behind the scenes of their grandfather's Prince Philip's funeral and Princess Diana's sons lashed out, accusing each other of ugly betrayals and destroying the royal family and the princes blamed each other's wives for igniting the family feud and their showdown was explosive and they're refusing to forgive or make peace and any hope Philip's death will end this feud is pie in the sky -- Harry and William were forced to reunite to mark the Duke of Edinburgh's passing and comfort their grandmother Queen Elizabeth, but that doesn't mean they're kissing and making up; far from it because Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have caused so much damage with their TV interview, it will take a lifetime to heal this rift -- sparks began flying almost immediately after Harry landed back in his homeland. He went straight to his former marital home Frogmore Cottage in Windsor to quarantine under COVID rules while William and his wife Duchess Kate Middleton and their three children were holed up at their country home Anmer House in Norfolk, about 100 miles away, but that didn't stop the once-inseparable brothers exploding in fury at each other during a video call finalizing funeral arrangements -- William and Harry knew they'd have to walk together behind the cortege to honor their grandfather, but that was where their reunion ended and while their grieving grandmother and royal relatives mourned the loss of the family patriarch, William and Harry's pent-up anger and frustrations exploded as, on the same side of the Atlantic for the first time in over a year, William blasted Harry and Meghan for bad-mouthing his wife Kate and selfishly trying to destroy the monarchy and he reamed Harry for not visiting their grandfather in his final days and using the funeral as a publicity stunt while Harry retaliated by accusing his brother of throwing him and Meghan under the bus and vowed never to talk to him again -- instead of an expected joint public statement praising their beloved grandfather, they issued separate tributes, which underlined their split as in their statement, William and Kate reminisced about Philip taking their children for horse-drawn carriage rides and they vowed to support the queen in the years ahead and that was a dig at Harry and Meghan, who can't help the queen due to their self-imposed exile to California and it was also a shot because Harry's son Archie has spent no time with his royal relatives since his birth almost two years ago -- Philip's death has only intensified this horrific feud and this war is far from over, and may never be

Page 10: Prince Philip went to his grave regretting he couldn't stop Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle from ripping the royal family in a bombshell TV interview -- The Duke of Edinburgh called the explosive tell-all madness and he had some sympathy for Harry and Meghan's desire to do their own thing, but he thought they were wrong and he hated Harry and Meghan's preoccupation with their own problems and their willingness to talk about them in public; one of his rules was give interviews but don't talk about yourself -- Philip loved Harry and thought him a good man, but he did not believe they were doing the right thing for the country or themselves when they quit royal duties and Philip died worrying the explosive interview permanently damaged the monarchy and he deeply regretted he wasn't able to prevent the scandal

* Outraged Prince Philip shunned his son Prince Andrew's ex-wife Duchess Sarah Ferguson for the last 19 years of his life after she was caught cheating in raunchy photos that went public -- Philip considered Fergie beyond the pale and refused to have anything to do with her and when Sarah was staying at Balmoral Castle with her daughters, her ex-father-in-law would run from a room she'd entered and Fergie said it was ridiculous because as soon as she came through one door, he'd be falling over the corgis to get out of the other and she added it was very funny, except, of course, it wasn't -- the only time they appeared together in public was at Prince Harry's 2018 wedding, 26 years after Fergie was photographed lounging topless while her then lover John Bryan sucked on her toes on the French Riviera; she and Andrew were separated at the time

Page 11: Marie Osmond is getting the last laugh on rival Sharon Osbourne after the big-mouthed Brit, who chased off Marie from The Talk, was booted from the chat show in a racism scandal -- while Marie doesn't wish ill on anyone, she certainly isn't feeling any sympathy for Sharon's plight -- in public, Marie has never said a harsh word about Sharon, and never blamed her co-star with pushing her off The Talk, but behind the scenes, Sharon made mild-mannered Marie's life hell, which chased her away and Marie still cringes from the whole experience of working with the brash former reality diva, more than seven months after leaving the show and Marie doesn't want to stoke the fire, but it's kind of satisfying in a way that Sharon's finally being exposed for what she is: a snippy, smug phony

Page 23: Caitlyn Jenner is refining her image ahead of her run for governor in California by reducing her massive breasts to look more conservative -- she wants to downgrade her E cups to a more respectable C cup because she's been worried for a while they are way too big within the context of her body and draw unflattering stares and running for the California governor's office is serious and she wants people to listen and look at her face, not her boobs and the truth is, the implants have been weighing her down and giving her back pain too, so this makes sense in more ways than one -- Caitlyn will be slowly abandoning other cosmetic procedures and she would like to wean herself off filters and Botox too, but that'll be a gradual process that she'll do as time goes by and the big thing here is that she wants to look more natural and relatable for voters

Page 30: Grace Kelly died nearly flat broke -- the Hollywood starlet gave up millions to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco, and when she died at the age of 52, her only assets were a cottage in Ireland, owned by her grandfather, and $10,000 -- in 1956, she married into Monaco's royal family after coughing up a $2 million dowry, which is about $20 million today, and walking away from a glittering career -- according to a new documentary, her Hollywood earnings have disappeared as during her film career, Grace's total earnings could have reached $1.5 million, earnings that appear to be entirely missing from her will, but thanks to Grace, Monaco's royal family has cashed in big-time as her son Prince Albert II has an estimated net worth of $i billion and his wife Charlene Wittstock is rumored to be worth $150 million -- most people think of Grace Kelly's story as a fairy tale, going from Hollywood and suddenly being whisked off to a lot of wealth, but what is so poignant is that she had to pay to become a princess

Wilson denies the charge, saying Usher, who stars at Caesars Palace stating in July, was a true gentleman and great guest and he and his crew converted thousands of real dollars to tip the girls dancing on the stage and left a generous tip for staff and apparently someone in his team left some Usher dollars on the floor to promote his Vegas residency and that is where it seems the confusion came in

The Times (UK) 10/16/2003

Alex O'Connell goes weak-kneed in the presence of Mark Ruffalo, the anti Hollywood star of In the Cut If there was such a thing as a textbook outsider, Mark Ruffalo would be one. Like Dostoevsky's Raskolnikov, Rilke's Malte Laurids Brigge and, well, Buffy, he is in a netherworld all of his own. Metaphorically speaking, Ruffalo sits on a park bench in the middle of an LA traffic island staring into the smog while most of Tinseltown is vrooming down the highways talking about their Japanese advertising campaigns and what happens if you smoke right after Pilates while on the Atkins. We meet in a hotel in Park Lane, in a suite which has more chintz than a Chelsea draper's. Still, Ruffalo cuts through the frills and fancy, like a pair of industrial shears. To be frank, the furnishings don't get a look-in. His face is soft and crumpled like a baby boxer, his hair is a pile of Italianate curls tousled to unstyled perfection, his eyes are the same lazy, deep brown as his pinstripes. On the soulless hotel interview circuit, Ruffalo is as refreshing as the cold shower I should be having. He doesn't try, he hasn't rehearsed answers, he doesn't care if he says something that might make his agent twitch. Give the man a part in one of the films of the year! (Oh, he's already got one.) A respected theatre actor and director in America but relatively unknown here, barring a star role in the playwright Kenneth Lonergan's film debut You Can Count on Me (2000), Ruffalo is about to ease into the mainstream. The Wisconsin boy has two movies out in the next few months, both in The Times bfi London Film Festival. The first, My Life Without Me, is a drama about a woman with a terminal illness, in which he stars alongside the Canadian actress Sarah Polley. The second, and the biggie, is Jane Campion's cop thriller, In the Cut, the festival's Opening Night Gala. Adapted from the novel by Susanna Moore, the film features Ruffalo as Malloy, a hard nut homicide detective who begins an affair with Frannie, an ethereal New York academic (Meg Ryan). While Malloy is out chasing killers, she's sticking Post-it Notes scrawled with her favourite words on the wall. Ryan is good. Ruffalo is even better as the cop whose incestuous cityscape consists of dives, crime scenes and the odd sweaty mattress. At 35, Ruffalo has taken long enough to get where he is. Partly it was bad luck, he says. Three years ago he was diagnosed with a brain tumour after he finished filming The Last Castle with Robert Redford. "It naturally slowed everything down," he says, in his old-world drawl. "It was taken out immediately and it was benign, but it was a year of being out of work and reassessing. When you're young and you start getting on as the 'hot new thing', you can lose sight of what you are doing it for, and I was starting to get a little disappointed with acting. It made me reassess. Also, they go in there and tinker and you feel like you'll never be the same and, quite frankly, I didn't know if I still had my talent after that." The script for In the Cut arrived eight months after his illness. Campion asked him to lunch and she gave him the good news between courses. Initially, he was concerned about how to make what could easily have been "just another cop role" his own. "We've seen this a thousand times, more, probably," he says, "and it's been done very well by many people." Eventually he located his point of real interest. "There is some part of Malloy that wants more from his class than just where he is at in life. There is some curiosity for fineness and beauty." Research involved trailing Manhattan's cop bars and knocking back whiskey with the guys. "It took a lot of bourbon and cigarettes to get to the point where people were actually being truthful." One of the most talked about elements in the film is the nude sex scene between him and Ryan, her first in a long career. It's erotic and integral. But, boy, wasn't that, well, a pressure? "It was never comfortable," he says, shifting in his chair. "When we had known each other for three months, it was still uncomfortable, people standing around all the time...I'm married ... "I mean, I was really nervous," he laughs, "and when you're nervous it's hard to affect, erm, confidence." Did you have a thing that you did? "A technique? Well, Jane gave me The Woman's Orgasm and a bunch of books and videotapes. At one point she tried to give me an anatomy lesson on the vagina, which frankly brings up all kinds of defensive feelings in a man: 'I know what I'm doing! Why are you telling me that? Let me show you!' And that was funny, seeing myself react like that." Did he read them? "Yes, I did read them. I definitely learnt." He admits that the film's unbalanced relationship dynamic (cop/academic) probably would not work in real life. Luckily Ruffalo has no such personal concerns, as he is married to an actress, Sunrise Coigney. It's fairytale stuff: he saw her in the street, knew she was The One, and had to figure out how to meet her. She has a small part in In the Cut. Ruffalo is unusual in that he is a Hollywood actor with a very definite life outside Hollywood. It has a lot to do with his background in theatre. After moving to San Diego at 13 he uprooted to LA at 18 to study at the Stella Adler theatre school. His big break was in Betrayed by Everyone, a chunk of This is Our Youth which was made into a one-act play at a festival in LA in 1995. There began his great friendship with its writer, Kenneth Lonergan, who later invited him to audition for This is Our Youth, his play about indulged youth in the 1980s. "Since then we've been close friends," Ruffalo says. "We were both struggling in the theatre and then we both did the film You Can Count on Me and it launched our careers." These days he runs an LA theatre company, Page 97, and has written a play and a film of his own. In fact he even turned down a bunch of big studio films, including a part in The Core, because, well, it just didn't suit. And of his considerable freezer of turkeys (he's been in 28 movies, most of them poor to dreadful) he is charmingly self-mocking. Houdini -the biopic? "That is good compared to some of them," he laughs. "I don't network, I see it as kind of crass. There is just this cliquey scene in LA. I don't think that casting directors ever discover anybody, they are just told about somebody by somebody else. I'm sure there are 1,000 people like me out there who have worked really hard and done the plays and the work that really counts, but there is a lot of hyperbole in LA and the focus is in getting to places where you can be seen and get 'famous' and then all the work follows." In fact recently he's even been working on a novel, called Him, which sounds like self-parody or The Outsider Pt 2. "It's about a man who doesn't fit into the modern world," he says with a smirk. Stage, screen, plays, novels, what's it going to be? Unless he makes his mind up, doesn't he risk turning into Ethan Hawke? He sighs, a deep Ruffalo sigh. "They're gonna throw dirt on you at the end of this game, man," he says. "And I don't think you can be too careful at the cost of your life. At the end what do you have but the life you lived?" Quite. CV: MARK RUFFALO AMERICAN HISTORY Born in Wisconsin in Nov, 1967. He moved to San Diego at 18, then to LA where he studied at Stella Adler. NEW BEST FRIEND Playwright Kenneth Lonergan.

UF&SF bros reacting to having an SO who is mute. One day when they're on the surface and SO is out of the house going to the store, two random people come up to them and start flirting with them, clearly drunk and just wanting a "good time". They can't really do much as they try making a no motion, but they keep trying to get them to go with the two. SO ends up calling the skele from behind their back, hoping he understands they'd never call him due to lack of voice.

{ I don’t like making S/O always like the victim that have to be saved, so here sometimes the dynamics will be different, S/O will defend their self alone #GirlPowerThis time, like a bonus I will add Fell! Gaster since he is too chu in any form~And I have to say this ask took me a lot of time, so I truly hope you will enjoy it-! }

The fact that you were mute was not a problem for him.He knew that you were strong and brave despite everything, you could take care of yourself even if you were incapable to speak, it did not mean you were weak or stupid. For you, he decided to learn the sign language because he truly cared about you and he desired to communicate with you someway. When he met you, he considered you like a precious and delicate thing because of your problem but you truly cared about your independence and you could not tolerate to be considerate different from other people only because you were mute, it was not a big deal for you.You left for some minutes the house because you had to buy something to the store. At first, Sans wanted to come with you because it was a very late hour of the evening but you said to him, using your normal gestures, to stay here, waiting for you. While you were walking through the store, two local losers approached you and they seemed dangerous and, especially, drunk because their smell of alcohol was difficult to ignore. You tried to take another way, trying to avoid them but they barricaded your way putting themselves in front of you. Their intentions were not good and you tried to stay calm. Being mute, you could not scream for help so maybe you had to find another way to protect yourself, it was not the first time something like this happened since there were too much perverts in the world, sadly. One of them tried to take you from an arm, posing their hand on your mouth so you was unable to scream –even if you wouldn’t have screamed anyway because of your state-. In the meanwhile, Sans noticed the scene because he decided anyway to follow you since he was too anxious and afraid and this time he was right. The two aggressors lowered their guard down in the moment they saw the mad skeleton that was running in their direction, he was ready to blast them. Since you did not want to have their horrid hands on you, you decided promptly to bite the dirty man very hard, so hard that he screamed and his hand was bleeding. They ran away before they could hurt you and Sans was a little shocked and worried. Then, he asked you how that jerk tasted and you mimed to him saying that he tasted just like shit. You and Sans laughed and he was glad you were fine but maybe he should have given you a gun so you could have protected yourself better.

🙊 The Edge Lord ;

Actually, he was your personal trainer so there was no reason to worry about anything.Papyrus was the one who taught to you the art of fighting because he cared so much you were able to look after yourself since he could not stay always here to defend you. He was a busy man so he could not spend his entire day to be in anxious for you and he could not even become your babysitter.For him, the fact that you were mute was not a problem, so you could still live your life like every individual in the world did. Papyrus could not tolerate any kinds of victimhood or crybaby’s attitudes, so you had to learn how to defend yourself since this world was dangerous even in the surface.  Thanks to him, you knew every techniques of fighting, self-defend, you were a sort of human weapon, and sometimes you had afraid of yourself. His brother called you The Silencer Bomb since you were mute, it was somewhat funny but maybe Papyrus had exaggerated to train you.You were directed to the store for buying something since you wanted to prepare the dinner for Papyrus since he has been too busy to cook by himself today. After some time, two weird men approached you and you already understood they were searching for some troubles. They were too drunk to think rationally and their moves were clumsy and unbalanced, they seemed two sick dogs who could not find the right position to piss so they were staggering around and it was an embarrassing show to see. They wanted only a thing from you and they started to touch you like they had the right to do it. You spat on them since you could not expose your disappointment by words. They seemed angrier so they tried to attack you but you, promptly, used one of the techniques Papyrus taught to you so you took them down in a second even if it was a mismatch since they were mentally incapacitated because of the alcohol. One of them stood up, trying to hit you again but you kicked him on his gums and it was real painful. You were very pissed so you hit them a second time so you were sure they were not going to follow you.Then, when you came back home you explained to Papyrus what happened and he was so proud of you, you could see his eyes sparkle for the first time. All his trainings were useful, how happy you made him.

Sans was the kind of person who liked to protect his partner not because he thought they were weak but it was the only way he had to demonstrate to them he truly cared about them. He has never been good with words and his social skills were so embarrassing sometimes so you had to forgive him for his weird attitudes. The fact that you were mute for him was not a problem and maybe you could understand his awkward ways better than anybody else could. The art of communication was so difficult for Sans, even if it seemed you had no problem to communicate to people despite your disability and it made him so insecure and sad so he decided to protect you because you had to know how he loved you. Then, you never asked for some lessons of self-defence to him since you believed it was not necessary and you were a pacifistic person. Even if Sans would have been so happy to teach you his techniques and his special attacks, it was his speciality. One day, you decided to take a walk because you were bored and the day was beautiful. Sans was not at home and you were all alone, you had to spend time someway. During your walk, two freaks called for your attention and you started to worry because they smelt like alcohol and their stares were the same a predator had when it saw its prey. You did not want to be their prey, at all.Trying to be more discreet possible, you decided to take another path but they approached you a second time and you were unable to scream for some help since you were mute but the street was desert anyway.Before they could touch your skin, you extracted your pepper spray and you shoot it over them, you consumed the entire bottle. Then, you run away as fast as you could while the two men, after they took conscience of themselves again, started to follow you. Luckily, you were quite athletic and they, being drunk, appeared just like two orangutans that was jumping in the street. You were near your house so you reached it, entering in your garden where you found Sans and he was freaking out because he thought you were inside. After some minutes, the two hostile men appeared, screaming obscenity about you and that was the moment the world appeared black to Sans and he could not forgive someone who used such disgusting words to his mate. Sans hit them with so many of his bones attack and he was going to kill them for real if you did not stop him, saying it was better to call the police or Sans would have been in troubles. It was self-defence anyway because he was protecting you from two maniacs but the police should have took care of them. You were too kind, Sans sighed tying them to a tree while you were calling the cops up. Sans truly wanted to kill them so he was a little sad. Then, you asked to him if he could have helped you because you desired to learn some self-defence and you were totally unable to fight. After you confessed it to him, his eyes became two sparkle stars because he wanted to hear this from you. Sans was so happy now that he was throwing his bones everywhere for the joy. Just stop this energetic Sans before he could hurt somebody for real.

Papyrus was your personal watchdog and nobody alive would have even dreamt to have a face-to-face with him – unless they were suicide attempts-. No way someone could have messed with you in his enigmatic presence. It was obvious that those two persons were totally drunk because they would have thought twice before if they were sober. You explained to him that you were able to take care of yourself even if you were mute so he had nothing to worry about you. You knew some ways to defend yourself from some creeps and you have seen so many of them in your life so he had to take things easier. Papyrus tried so hard to ignore you, being a little less invasive since he seemed the real creep sometimes. He was determinate to save you in any situations, so he wanted also to come with you at the store and he needed to take a walk (it was a lazy person who was speaking so maybe he wanted only to check on you).You explained to him that you wanted to go alone and he could wait here for you because you were not going to a mission or to war so he had nothing to be afraid. Then, you were directed through the market until two bad guys moved toward you saying you looked so cute and they wanted to have fun with you. They smelled like alcohol so you understood their condition was miserable and you had to find a way to go away from here as soon as possible. Sadly, one of them grabbed your arm and you could not even scream since you were mute so you were thinking to the worst until you saw Papyrus who was in the other side of the street.

The fact that you were mute was so fascinating to him and we had to admit that the idea of studying you has crossed his mind so many times but he resisted for your sake. Actually, he wanted also to find a cure because he desired to hear your voice and he was still a mad scientist so he had to find a way. His science was supreme and it could never fail!Gas considered you like a vulnerable human because of this problem since you could not ask for help in case you were in danger and he could not accept it. You had to be able to protect yourself and Gas was not a fighter so you could never expect him to participate to a vulgare and mere fight. He was still a classy skeleton with some taste of macabre. Then, he was also an inventor and he equipped you with some of his personal weapons that were so technological and mortal. You had a lot of choice and you could use them any time someone disturbed you or only for entertain yourself because firing people was so funny. You did not choose to use one of his weapons because it was something insane. Since Gas was always in his lab working on his projects, you did not spend so much time with him but this was not a reason to think he did not care about you –not like his science but the fact that he considered you like an interesting creature and not like a potential guinea pig was something-. Actually, he installed some cameras somewhere so he could check on your moves through monitors but he used these methods because he had afraid some spies wanted to steal his secret plans so he had to preserve his precious works. Then, he thought you were a mature person who could look after themselves alone. He was not your babysitter or your daddy.You decided to go to the store because you had to buy something until two pervert men approached you, they had lust in their eyes. Gas was looking the scene through his monitor and he felt a little jealous because he thought you wanted to cheat on him. Then, he understood by your moves and expressions that you were uncomfortable and they seemed so drunk. He turned on the audio of the camera hearing their words that were not so friendly since they were defining you in those obscene ways. Then, he slipped his dogs that were nothing more than his ferocious Gaster Blasters that were so hungry and mad so those two persons were the perfect meals for them. You recognized his Blasters and you were surprised Gas cared so much about you to save you. You thanked him for the support even if he acted grumpy like always saying it was a mistake and he was glad you were fine with a low tone of voice. You did not see him for the rest of the day because you had to believe he did not give a shit about you. It was not totally true.The next time, please, use one of his mortal weapons so he had not to free his dogs to save you!
