Safe sustainable home for everyone
Explain your personal feelings about how urban environments should be designed in 5 words or less
#safe as in structural safety engineering and also like not gonna get hit by a car with mixed private and public spaces#also safe as in public places designated for doing drugs and taking a crap safely#(not as in heavily policed)#sustainable as in structural longevity logistical longevity environmental footprint and as in people can actually live their lives there#sustainable as in the city sustains its residents and community#home as in a place that belongs to you and you belong to#home that holds you sustains you reflects you is your community space shares your story#for everyone as in diversity is what makes a city as in everyone deserves a home as in a city is made a home by its many definitions of hom#urban environments should be engineered to the desires of the constituents#... and as a constituent I personall would like less car spaces and more walking spaces please#my home looks like a place where kids can play games in the street#and everyone has affordable groceries in walking distance#where my neighbours have somewhere warm and dry to sleep at night#where people who want to live in a van have somewhere to park at night with clean bathroom access#where the sidewalks are wheelchair accessible and continuously paved#where public transit provides access to other districts#where me and my neighbours can celebrate our separate cultural holidays in public spaces together#an urban environment should be designed together#also I know housing is a crisis but I wish that companies built apartments and stuff slowly and correctly instead of focusing on speed.#and if say for example we have someone who's definition of 'home' involves say a summer home they only visit they have to compromise#living at the density of a city means lots of compromise#but ultimately i think that it being about home kind of excludes many landlords and the like#without excluding local businesses or small landowners who actually do provide services to their tenants#someone who doesn't live there and doesnt agree to belong to the space isn't making a home there with everyone else#they're dictating and policing other people's homes from outside the neighbourhood/city#and that doesn't actually help anyone in the long term#you have to meaningfully belong to the land to claim it belongs to you. to have a say in the landscape#this became a massive rant in the tags lol#maybe i should make an actual post to this effect at some point#I feel like so much modern engineering & design is soulless because it refuses to interact with the community that already lives where it is

This is kinda random but I wonder why Shaun Evans never took off as an internet boyfriend? I know Endeavour is a niche show, but from reading tags in popular gif posts, I've noticed there are a lot of young fans who grew up watching him as Morse and consider him one of the ultimate blorbos. Add in the fact he's easily one of the most likable and charismatic actors out there plus his big anime eyes and handsome face it's like how is tumblr not obsessed with him?
Maybe because he doesn't make many media appearances? Or how guarded he is? I guess he was successful in his goal of keeping focus on the character instead of himself. I also get the vibe fans are very conscious of respecting him and his privacy which is cool.
But still! lol
It's wild to see the most basic men being fawned over when Shaun is right there. Maybe I'm biased but having now watched a bunch of his interviews and his past stuff I feel like he's the most adorable man I've ever seen.
I realize this is basically a rant about how great I think Shaun Evans is lmao but do you know what I mean?
i totally get what you mean! honestly i just think endeavour is a very niche show and people just don't know shaun evans exists lol. it's baffling to me that endeavour never became huge, especially as inspector morse was apparently massively popular, i mean i'm kind of glad bc the hype ruined line of duty and i think shaun would have hated that level of exposure.
i'd vaguely heard of endeavour over the years but all i knew was that it was a prequel and i barely knew anything about IM so i wasn't particuarly interested. but somehow i didn't hear anyone talking about it or see a single second of it for the whole 10 years it was on lol! i have no idea how it passed me by so much.
i've spent a lot of time now watching interviews with shaun and watching his earlier work and he's just so lovely, he definitely deserves more attention. not just from fans but endeavour and shaun never seem to get the recognition in awards shows either! as i said, it's baffling. the same shows and the same people get all the hype year after year and yet..shaun is right there with his one solitary tear acting and beautiful blue eyes and curly hair and...yeah. you're right, he's great lol

Tag Game! Tagged by one of my faves, the ever lovely @stealing-jasons-job
1. Why did you choose your url?
My username is so weird lol I get asked this all the time and I wish I had a better answer but I literally just love videos of those hairless cats taking baths. I also think the word nakey is really funny which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about me. I didn't plan on posting fic when I came up with this name and now I'm too attached to it to change it to something practical or more poetic.
2. Any side blogs?
None currently but there are some old ones lingering around...
Somewhere out in the universe is a hipster blog filled with poetry and short stories about boys who didn't like me back in high school but it is long lost and I have no idea what it is called. It is probably a repurposed to scam people into clicking RayBand Sunglasses links by now. There's also a really really old Dramione fic blog running around somewhere that I used when I wrote in the Harry Potter fandom.
No need to talk about my "fitness" blog that was basically thinly veiled orthorexia
3. How long have you been on tumblr?
I think since just before the height of the popularity so like 2010? I fell out of it with everyone else and was really pleasantly surprised to find that people are still hanging around here when I came back two years ago haha
4. Do you have a queue tag?
No. I'm highly impulsive and a terrible planner. If you see posts on here, I am here haha I don't have that kind of foresight.
5. Why did you start your blog in the first place?
Honestly I have no idea, I was having a tough time and wanted to write and the rest of this has just been a really happy accident.
6. Why did you choose your icon/pfp?
It's real cute isn't it?! It's so hard to find aesthetic faceless pics with brown skin so I had to take the opportunity. It's just so vibey, isn't it?
7. Why did you choose your header?
Yellow is such a joyful color!
8. What’s your post with the most notes?
I'm not very tech savvy I have no clue how to figure this out? It's probably a moodboard of some kind! I'm not big on text posts haha
9. How many mutuals do you have?
I have literally no clue. But I have made sooooo many truly incredible friends on here. I'm infinitely grateful for all of them. Y'all have become such a genuine source of joy and support in my life, I truly cannot express how much you mean to me.
10. How many followers do you have?
982 and I suspect a significant percent of those are porn link accounts and spam because at least one of those follows me a day. Idk what the point of follower counts on here is, but I love all of you, even the Pornbots. This account is also super old so some of them might be dead blogs too.
11. How many people do you follow?
589
and none of you are pornbots and I love y'all even more.
12. Have you ever made a shit post?
I've made crackposts?
13. How often do you use tumblr a day?
I notoriously hate my phone and I have this app that lets you grow a tree if you don't use your screen. It's very cute, I grew 5 peach trees today. But long story short, it's not super often, maybe once a day. I try to check notifications every day though because I do absolutely love interacting with y'all.
14. Did you ever have a fight/argument with another blog?
Hahahah I wish I was bold enough to do this because I've been tempted to do it more times than I can count but conflict makes me squirm and also cry. I do get intensely annoyed when I see tone-deaf discourse about mixed race people though so I'll always go to bat for that one.
I did lose my shit one time and tagged something as "nakeycats has fucking snapped" which haunts me in my tags to this day and makes me laugh now.
15. How do you feel about the ‘you need to reblog’ posts?
I get it. I mean, I'm not one to tell people what to do and I don't always love the tone it takes on but the general sentiment of it isn't unfounded. There has been a general shift away from reblogging even though it's the only way content gets traction on this site. From a content creation standpoint it's disheartening to put work out there and know that nobody is seeing it. So much love and work goes into writing and it really does suck sometimes. That said, people are going to do what they're going to do, it's not going to stop me from putting work out there.
16. Do you like tag games?
I adore tag games! I love everything about them! Every time I get tagged in one it's like "me? really?" and then I consider us to be besties haha.
17. Do you like ask games?
I really like them and I used to love doing them when we did BWC! Some of the games get hard to keep track of now but this was such a good way to meet people and I'm grateful for it. That said, I LOVE ASKS. If you ever need to vent or rant or tell a joke or chat or practice your emoji usage HMU I'm always down.
18. Which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
Is Tumblr famous still a thing? I would probably just tag my friends in this since they're all famous to me and I'm convinced a lot of them will be famous one day for writing or creating in some way ( @stealing-jasons-job and @queenemori specific point to you in particular)
I will give a special shout-out to @burninghoneyatdusk because I was a massive fan of her writing and then we became mutuals and I was like "omg!! the author of this fic love! A star is following me back!" haha so that was a fun moment when I was first dipping my toes in the fandom and it did feel like someone famous followed me. Also she is rad and very humble considering how talented she is.
19. Do you have a crush on a mutual?
I can't even bring myself to have a crush on someone in real life.
Plenty of friend crushes though.
20. No-pressure tags:
@elora-lane . @natassakar . @ninappon . @burninghoneyatdusk . @obviesbellarke . @queenemori . @franklyineedcoffee . @carrieeve . @infp-with-all-the-feelings and anyone else who wants to do it

Amber and orchard for the fall asks!
amber - share an unpopular opinion that you may have.
Hahaha this is like cracking open pandora’s box. I feel like I have too many. 
I think my primary one though is I absolutely despise capitalism’s affect on witchcraft. I DO NOT think it’s made it more accessible for people, I feel like the only very minor positive thing is that you can now tell people you are a witch and into tarot cards and they won’t find you as weird anymore. Otherwise people don’t realize how capitalism is a force that actually strips culture of it’s meaning in order to sell it for profit and it’s affects on this practice has left a lot of damage not just to some aspects that are sacred but towards the earth since it’s a practice that works really closely with nature. 
(added a read more to spare you poor scrolling souls from my rant lol)
Anyway what crapitalism does is it takes a culture and turns it into an easily consumable concept- almost like a brand, so that as long as you slap something ‘witchy’ seeming together then it qualifies as that brand. It boils everything down to an aesthetic. And no one has to actually believe in it anymore, or practice it or make any effort towards learning it or incorporating it into their lives. As long as they buy into the brand or embody the aesthetic then they count. Sometimes you can try to express that some traditions and materials and such do have meaning (I mean of course they do no one just sat around and made this shit up) people kind of have this nihilistic view that’s fed from this weird modern capitalist society that like: nothing truly has meaning anymore. But it’s like they are feeding this consumerist culture by repeating this mindset and gaslighting others when they appropriate magical practices or other cultures that are still very much alive and still tended to (often by indigenous people still being prosecuted) that are focused on working with the earth. 
Then you see this ripple effect on places like instagram or the big mainstream like magazines and shit and do not get me wrong cause there are a lot of cool and creative people that practice this that are on there but there is so much cashing into this field now and oversaturation that comes with seedy and shady background stories that show creators being completely disingenuous because they really just want to make money. And then going back to my point that this practice works closely with nature, capitalism exploited the fact that we like working with certain herbs, woods, crystals etc and is overharvesting and mining and tainting the very tools that we want to work with, with greed, pollution, child slavery etc. And it’s irritating cause you can make your own tools and don’t have to import anything and you can tell everyone how bad some industries are but they don’t listen cause they are buying into capitalism’s lie that they can sell you anything at a price, even if it’s sacred. Then if you try to defend your point they tell you that this is the only way it can be accessible to everyone, but it’s NOT accessible to everyone, it strips it away from people that could be working with these tools for generations and protecting the climates that these guides and resources for the tools grow in. It also disempowers people in their craft to begin with because witchcraft is about finding that connection to your own power and magic and the bridge with the universe’s power and magic and when you venture down into this practice you will find tools and guides local to you and find ways to make your own magical tools but capitalism disempowers us by telling us that we are not legit until we can put a price tag on it. So people don’t believe in their ability to find the sacred in themselves or nature, they just keep consuming whatever herb bundle or tool capitalism spits at them because it’s the only way to feel legit in this culture. 
And then since it’s seen more of a title or aesthetic and less of a way of life or set of ethics or practice, you have people interested in this spiritual or witchy community that don’t do any work or want to work on themselves that bring their shadow baggage into it. So you get racism seeping into it, homophobia, I also am so fucking confused how TRANSPHOBIA has made its way into here like transfolx are magical by just existing they are walking manifestations and works of alchemy like wtf; and like if you guys were friends with any queer people and hung out with them, they get the idea of magic, ritual and manifestation so well cause so much of their daily life already embodies some of that. But that’s a whole other topic. I vibed well with my queer friends on this and they were the only ones I could talk to about it before witchcraft became mainstream. 
 Then in general it’s seen as like radical if you tell people that are supposedly practicing witches that our energies should be focusing on restoring balance and we should put our energy towards healing nature or towards human rights (since humans are apart of nature) you will literally have witches being like: don’t tell me what to do!!! Like!! Gurl wtf lmaoo I don’t know how people claim to be empaths or into this but they don’t see that maybe if there was a so called “Great Awakening” to “Empower Ourselves” that’s probably what the fucking point was? Not to say that you need to spend every waking moment protesting (another contribution of capitalism- showing some kind of documented proof on social media that you stand for something instead of little daily actions embedded into your everyday life) but you can find ways to change your daily patterns to make space for the societal change that’s coming to bring in a more compassionate world and better community. But since we are so indoctrinated in this consumerist culture, so many people don’t know how to incorporate their values into their everyday lives anymore. It’s all about quantity and showing off on social media. And that negatively impacts witchcraft cause witchcraft is a daily practice you do little things for everyday that just gets embedded into your everyday life, but people get confused and think to be legit it’s something you gotta buy into or show off as proof with stylistic rituals and of course for many people that’s exhausting or financially inaccessible. 
And for the sake of clarity cause the internet hates using critical thinking sometimes, of COURSE you can have a fun and flashy craft I’m not saying you can’t, but there is a massive imbalance here I am pointing out with how people are developing insecurities because they cannot attain this aesthetic overnight without dropping a shit ton of money. Yes witchcraft is very aesthetic-heavy but that’s because it’s a really creative practice that people pour their creativity and energy into and capitalism saw a way to put a price tag on it and now it’s confusing everyone else that’s mistaking this as something else to consume in exchange for money. 
And then I hate that I feel often I cannot talk about this cause instead of people using their critical thinking braincells and realizing how bad capitalism is, they somehow turn this conversation into thinking that I just don’t like when a culture becomes mainstream cause not everyone should enjoy a culture or whatever and it’s like fucking hell of course I would LOVE more witches and to have more people into celebrating nature or finding their own magic and connecting to the universe and whatever, but capitalism isn’t helping at all. It’s separating us from it’s connection and the meaning behind it’s practice. (Also one day I dream of living in a witchy town or community so yeah, the more the merrier, but right now with capitalism, this method is not the way to get into this practice lol). 
You really see the negative effects of capitalism marketing witchcraft because people now treat it as like this commodity they can jump into without finding a way to genuinely connect with it cause it’s all just a gimmick until the next zeitgeist. This either manifests in two ways where they think they can just buy a book or read some posts and not do any work on themselves or thinking on stuff like cultural appropriation so when they start experimenting they might bring harm to themselves by evoking spirits that do not want to work with them, or taking in some sacred herb or substance that can fuck them up leaving deep psychological damage or death- or they can harm others in a myriad of ways. 
Then the other way it manifests are people feeling like witchcraft is suddenly inaccessible because you need money to practice it because capitalism put that veil over their eyes. It’s now another thing gatekept by money. So they try to reclaim it by being like: it’s just a title you can slap on yourself; but they give capitalism more power because that’s what capitalism was doing all along by stripping the meaning. Stripping it down to a concept that only matters as a label that evokes a brand or idea but not an actual practice. In a way it’s very counter culture to not buy into the aesthetic or put in effort anymore. Even if you want to put in effort you feel like you are not good enough cause you will never fit capitalism’s standards of quantity and money to spend to showcase it on the internet to feel legit. So people develop this no-effort approach to it. And ONCE AGAIN for clarity for the internet’s lack of critical thinking and jumping to conclusions I am NOT referring to anything like spoony witchcraft or energy based witchcraft (I am an energy witch primarily thank you very much) I am talking about people calling themselves witches but then when you want to sit down and chat about the craft they have a blank stare cause they were never serious and sometimes judge you for how much you cared about it cause they don’t really believe in it anyway. Not even cause it’s woowoo it’s cause capitalism doesn’t make you believe any anything anymore. The only thing it wants you to believe in is money and what you can consume with it.  
And then when people online try to talk about this and point out it’s a practice these guys get angry with you like you are gatekeeping but it’s like BITCH it’s a FREE FUCKING PRACTICE like GO TALK TO A TREE go COLLECT A ROCK YOU FOUND IN THE CLEAR STREAM OF A BABBLING BROOK and maybe you’d CALM THE FUCK DOWN. Capitalism making it seem like you gotta buy all this shit to be seen as legit is not what this practice is about and it makes me upset how there is like this massive group of people that want to access this culture but are so lethargic about actually doing anything because they are disenchanted and it’s really because they are mentally bogged down by capitalism’s grip on it making them feel like they aren’t shit cause they can’t afford all that bullshit that ain’t gonna help them anyway so they just call themselves witches to get them 2 drops of serotonin and feel included but never really go anywhere beyond that cause capitalism strips the fucking joy and meaning out of everything. The only reason why this bothers me is cause I could be staying in my lane drinking my herbs and shit and chilling but then people either judge me for the effort I put into my practice’s aesthetics thinking I am shallow and buying into this or they think I am being reckless and dangerous believing in something not real by practicing a craft that tbh has a lot of dangerous aspects to it so it’s not rated E for everyone. Like you can fit it to what you want it to be since it’s your journey but it’s always been a bit edgy in some ways and it’s annoying when you get people judging you now for your lifestyle or they wonder why you are so invested cause they don’t get it. 
Anyway that was a rant but you asked for it lol. 
orchard - share one thing that you’d like to happen this autumn.
Get some more weed 
Thanks for the asks lol. Kept the last one short haha but it’s true I have been trying to manifest for a while after my quarantine rations went out. Here are the autumnal asks if anyone else wants to ask or reblog them!

shit it’s been a second, guess it’s time to update again
edit: holy christ this is long, i’m gonna readmore it. tl:dr tyler has many badweird feelings but is getting through it. fun body changes, including hair growth and an unexpectedly nice voice. surgery and legal matters are Annoying. tw for menstruation
it is truly bizarre to think that i’ll have been five months on t in a little under two weeks. another month after that and it’s half a year. it’s uhh...weird. quarantine has just made this all feel weird. it’s like i fast-forwarded through this whole journey i was supposed to go on i guess? like i got randomly torn out of my life one day in march with no warning and then just as suddenly got spat out in august with a new life - new name, new face, new major, new identity - and no transitional period whatsoever. my classmates, my professors, my students, they all have only known me as tyler. and only ever will know me as tyler. and that’s great! it’s great, and i’m truly just blown away by how markedly easy it’s been and how weirdly good my timing was in transitioning. but it almost feels like i’m still a ways behind everyone else, i guess. i’ve spent so much of my life hiding, and lying through my teeth, and covering my ass every second of every day to protect myself, and i don’t have to do that anymore but the instinct is 100% still there and that honestly doesn’t feel good. of course i’m not making any of it up - i’m happier now than i’ve ever been, and i know i’m making the right choice - but it still persistently keeps feeling that way.
it’s just difficult, i think, to balance wanting to be read as male (and, to a large extent, wanting to keep my transness hidden both for safety reasons and so people don’t start treating me differently) and finding it difficult to hide this truly massive life change that, like, four people are really seeing anything of. and y’all, i guess, lol. it’s one thing to talk about all this in therapy, but it’s another entirely to just be able to share it with strangers and not worry about it being weird.
i was writing this with the intent of it being a mostly happy update but i guess there is some negativity boiling up so. gotta be honest, i guess? there’s a lot of fun trauma stuff i’ve been going through lately that i won’t get into but it’s culminated with this bullshit in this really fun way where my mom gets upset because i get kind of uncomfortable when she shows me childhood photos or tells stories about me as a little kid and then i just break down for reasons i really can’t discern. i’m going to try and articulate this, and who knows how messy it’s going to get, so i apologize if it gets kind of incoherent from here on out. as far as i can tell the root thing that she really gets upset about is that i’ve “thrown away” my whole previous identity. like, not a direct quote, but “you can’t just pretend [deadname] never existed. because she did, for a long time.” and...sure, i guess. i know this has been hard on my mom. i know she was raised in a conservative family, and while she has worked hard to adopt an accepting and open mindset she still doesn’t 100% grasp all of it and will make mistakes. i’ve made my peace with that. and yet. it’s not so much, really, that i was this other person and then became tyler, y’know? tyler did not appear suddenly two years ago where she once stood. tyler put on a mask, even before he knew he was tyler, because tyler was scared and ashamed but people seemed to like her and, for a time, she was an easy person to be. and i hated her. that is so fucking scary for me to say, and i’m not sure i’ve admitted that until literally right this second, but i did. not because she was a bad person. because she had a voice and a face and a body that i hated. because people saw her and assumed they knew me. because even she had many faces, because there was no real base or identity to her, just traits designed to paint a pretty picture and make people like her. because i knew, when i finally threw her away, people would miss her. compare me to her. expect me to be like her.
so i don’t know. i don’t have a satisfying way to wrap this up, because i honestly don’t know how to face this because i know it is absolutely not just the trans thing that created this situation. i’m kinda warring with myself, because i do kinda want to go back through this blog and delete photos of myself with long hair and whatever (because jesus, i’ve had this thing since i was like 14) but i genuinely don’t know if that’s healthy. i know i’m going back on my bullshit, fretting this way and that over whether something is “healthy” as though that’s an objective term without considering what’s going to make me happy, but honestly? i don’t know anymore. i keep sensing the mental block - the swathes of my childhood that i cannot recall, just vague, constant unease - and i don’t really know if i want to dig into all of that and learn what lies underneath because i’m sort of afraid of it. like i said, i’m happy now, happier than i’ve ever been, and i’d sort of like to just leave it like that. but i guess the length and tone of this post might argue otherwise.
anyways. anyways. enough mental health therapy, more actual hormone therapy updates since that’s what this goddamn thing is supposed to be i think? i’m finally starting to grow some noticeable hairs - my chin hair is coming back after my mom made me shave it before i left for school lol, as are a handful of mustache/lower lip/sideburn hairs. i keep feeling phantom bugs on my legs/feet and i’ve only just now recognized that that’s just leg hairs brushing against places i’m not used to. my appetite has picked up like absolute hell again, too, so i don’t know if i’m just having a metabolic spurt or what. also, i’ve started bruising more? idk what the hell that’s about - i fucking never bruise unless i’ve been hit Hard, and i kind of assumed testosterone would make you less likely to bruise, but then that’s probably just not related to the hormones at all. i was gonna put this in the tags but seeing as this post is already so long i might as well put a readmore and just put this here lol: my period is late, like, four days late, which is exceedingly unusual for me and might mean i’m finally done. or almost done. fingers crossed.
my voice has started to settle, it seems like. i popped out an e2 yesterday, which is Sick, but i’m not as focused on that anymore as i am on the actual quality of my tone. which is...good? i’m not just a baritone, i’m kind of a good one, at least it seems like. i’m really working right now on just getting familiar with my instrument - i’m second-guessing my pitch sensitivity a lot, but i think i really just need to drill and practice until everything starts feeling like second nature again. but since the musical didn’t happen for me, my coach wants to enter me in a classical solo competition next spring. so...no more retirement from competitive singing. i’m back! and thank god, because i’m starting to go crazy without being in musical work lol.
jesus fuck, i have a lot to say. i should probably split this into two posts but i don’t care. i am frustrated; i tried to get an appointment with a pro bono legal program for a name change, but it happened today and i wasn’t invited so apparently i’m on my own. and i’m frustrated. i’m trying to look at internships and shit for next summer, but i kind of can’t apply right now because my legal name and sex don’t line up with my presentation, and i don’t really know how easy it is to get away with that in this day and age and especially in my field. genuinely, if anyone has any advice, i’d appreciate it. i don’t know how long this will take, i don’t know what the requirements are, i don’t know if i’m better off just applying now and hoping they don’t eliminate me before ever getting me an interview. and, of course, i’m working on getting consultations for top surgery, but i keep catching myself procrastinating that. which seems weird, but listen. i’ve said it before but i have to emphasize, i am capital-t Terrified of getting this surgery. i know i need to, i know it will make things better for me, i know now is the time, i know i hate binding and can’t really get away with not doing so, but jesus fuck i am so frightened of anesthesia it’s not even funny. but i guess i’m mostly just calling myself out here and telling myself to quit being a big baby, schedule the thing, and give myself a few months to prepare.
anyway. that’s all i have to say. i’d apologize for ranting, but honestly...i dunno. i know at the start of all this a handful of you requested these updates, and i have to imagine it’s because at least some of you are transitioning, are thinking of doing so, or know someone who is or will be soon. and i just hope someone out there can at least relate, because there honestly just aren’t a lot of comparable life changes out there. or maybe this is just therapeutic for me, that’s fine too.
i have two midterms next week i should be studying for. i should do that.

Yugioh S3 Ep 43: Tea Can Just Knock Over Joey Wheeler With Her Index Finger
Guys guys guys, my favorite Character is back. That’s right--the storyboarder!
Tumblr media
So this episode looked helllla nice for a Yugioh episode (again, this is Yugioh, it will win no awards.) It wasn’t as nice and fluid as the episode where they temporarily killed off Joey Wheeler, but I give it a good 2nd place.
Tumblr media
You can tell we’re getting to the climax of the season because they’re throwing down their most entertaining art people onto the screen, giving us about 5 zillion dutch angle fashion close-ups of Marik’s cabbage face, and a whole lot of zany and hard to very hard to draw fish-eye lens angles of Pharaoh.
Also, everyone wears flared bell-bottom pants now. New stylistic decision, as decided just now. Everyone in pants now has flares. Even if their pants are cargo pants. How very 00′s. (my pants were flares from like birth until 2006, it was a good trend, super comfy, bring it back.)
(read more under the cut)
First off, Evil Marik decided to rewrite Marik history a little bit with some hilarious retconning that only the most evil Marik would think is legit.
Tumblr media
I mean I was there when Marik was introduced and was a complete asshole all of S2. I remember when Odion considered murdering the hell out of his little brother because this Marik guy was such freakin tool and his Dad was an evil cultist bastard. I...I’m gonna go on a limb and assume that calling Marik a “loyal servant” is a freakin stretch. Marik made his choices. Yes, his bad side killed his Dad, but they have made sure to indicate that yes, this is the evil inside of Marik, something that he himself caused--but most of the things that Marik has done (with the exception of killing his own Dad) is still Marik. He did that.
The fact that his evil side can’t quite connect that his good side and evil side are at all the same however, is fitting for an evil Marik to think. More and more, Marik and Marik are becoming 2 different people, and this game is the deciding factor to finally give this guy full autonomy of his other half.
We’ve seen this type of contrast before with Bakura and Ryou--where Ryou and Bakura don’t really get along but have always been clearly different people, so the culpability of what they do tends to fall on Bakura. (which is a pretty GRAND assumption, I still think Ryou is a precious but absolutely still shady little bastard) So, it’s a little different that Marik considers himself two completely different people when it’s just...not the same. Marik’s alter ego is just an ego. More like how Yami was in Season Zero but a little bit more evil. Both Marik’s have the same upbringing and the same source.
It’s been kind of an interesting progression now I can look back on it, where slowly the two have been clashing to the point that they are in fact different, disparate people now. The fact that Marik points out how his situation similar to Yugi and Pharaoh being a host is almost like “well yeah, it would have been nice to see how the whole Season Zero Yami evolved into more of a separate person over time, I’m glad you inferred that, and I’ll never get to see it, thanks” But again, all that is inferred. Whether Yami Yugi eventually became Pharaoh over time or whether Pharaoh is a big retcon of Yami Yugi for the new series in order to keep the culpability for what he does off of Yugi Muto was never directly spoken in the show so it’ll be left to your fanfictions.
Meanwhile, Yugi has decided that they’re going to try and purify the Marik situation and save the good side. This is sort of the Yugioh thing, to dispel the bad forces from people and leave behind hollow husks, so yeah...it tracks. I mean...there’s very little Marik left to save, but it’s better than a husk, amiright? Better than what happened to freakin PaniK, RIP. I’m sure erasing over half of your identity will go over real well for Marik and be absolutely painless.
Tumblr media
And then we had a lovely scene that, for those people doing scene redraws from anime, as has been a popular trend on art blogs lately--this is your episode for Yugioh. This episode’s got moody lighting, we’ve subdued all our weird ass colors into one concrete palate (remember how green the carpet used to be?) we got interesting elements of Marik being here despite being chopped into pieces. We got so many ellipses drawn in perspective (y’all I could write an entire posts just about ellipses but I’ll spare you). It’s like Yugioh gave itself a redraw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can’t believe this shot came out of freakin Yugioh.
Also, this guy was an ASSHOLE for the past 2 seasons but the show was like “time to make him likeable” and so they dropped some good ass cinematography and sung that sad backstory tune on the trumpet and you know what? It works.
+++++++++++++++RANT ABOUT REDEMPTION ARCS FEEL FREE TO SKIP THIS MASSIVE WALL OF TEXT++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now I think the arc of Marik is pretty simple and people are pretty chill with it. But, I’m gonna talk about villain redemption arcs just in general--gonna sidetrack a little from Yugioh for a moment. Partly because I watched 6 seasons of Once Upon a Time, which is basically Villain Redemption Arc Controversy: The Show.
It bothers a hell ton of people when TV shows have to make a villain redeemable, but there’s only one episode left so they put their hands up and say “but I swear the good side of him was always good” But, does that mean Marik’s going to make up for all the murder and sending people to the shadow realm? No. He never will. Even if Marik was completely his bad half the whole time, it still wouldn’t make up for the damage done. Dead people are...DEAD.
Marik can’t actually make any choices right now to redeem his character. All he’s doing is accepting he will never be a full person ever again. Hence why he is in slices and pieces, and in several shots is trapped either in an empty glass or a window. The choice to redeem him is entirely on other people.
And that’s the thing about redemption arcs that I want to bring up--how much of a character’s redemption relies on what the villains do to “Make up for what they did”, and how much relies on everyone else to redeem them. I think the tendency is for people to assume that the villains should be doing 90-100% of the redeeming, but unless they have a time machine--they can’t do any. Even if they freakin die to sacrifice themselves it’s still like “that character was basically little Stalin, right?
I’ve seen like a million ways to write a redemption arc, but none of them, not a single one that I can think of, can ever truly make up for the things the villian has done. There’s no way that Darth Vadar was suddenly going to become a good Dad, no matter how many Palpatines he can toss into a...whatever that was at the end of that movie. That’s the riddle behind what makes redemption arcs so engaging--By all cultural standards these villains should always be tagged a “bad guy” but, we, the audience, are being challenged to ignore those standards.
And I know a lot of people see redemption arcs as a quasi-religious sort of adventure into atonement, where we’re supposed to see ourselves as the villain searching for some type of forgiveness from a higher, most-likely-a-reference-to-Jesus-power, but I don’t really see them that way. Maybe it’s because, I dunno, I haven’t killed anyone recently or possessed other people’s minds or strung them up to anchors and dropped them into the ocean. But if you see yourself as a Marik, then go for it, I won’t stop you.
But, to me, a redemption arc is more of a question posed for us as viewers. Since it is impossible for the writers to ever fully redeem a character, the only ones doing the redeeming are the people watching it, who’s reaction will differ wildly from person to person, and that’s what makes it fascinating.
And like, that’s my thesis here at the very last paragraph of this long meandering rant. Redemption arcs aren’t about “hey is this person good enough to be redeemed (because that will never happen)” it’s “are you too good to redeem that person?” It’s a large scale experiment on the viewers watching and that’s why it makes people so freakin pissed and uncomfortable. Every redemption arc calls them out directly, and for some people it’s just like--the world ends or something. I have seen actual internet mobs develop over...a villain redemption arc. Which is weird.
And so I’ll leave it with my other spicy take that...you don’t have to redeem every villain when the question is asked. I mean these aren’t real people. The questions of “would you redeem this person” is asked entirely hypothetically. And that’s what makes up stories, not just the interaction of the people inside the stories, but when it affects the moral structure of the readers directly, and seeing how for some people, that can be a very intense and deep reflection. (which usually leads to a hell ton of either retconning fanfiction or a hell ton of really, really angry posts)
bro’s just told me that Yugioh is just a redemption arc for season 0 Yami Yugi. Bro and his spicy headcanons. This one holds some water though, lol.
++++++++++++END OF A SUPER LONG RANT ABOUT VILLAINS THAT I HELD IN FOR THE ENTIRE 6 SEASONS OF ONCE UPON A TIME, WOW A LOT OF PEOPLE HAD OPINIONS ABOUT CERTAIN CHARACTERS THAT THEY JUST EXPECTED EVERYONE ELSE TO HAVE, AMIRIGHT????+++++++++++
Anyway, back to jokes.
Tumblr media
Again, Storyboarder just...nailing these weird ass shoes that are somewhere between a dress shoe and a boot. Shoes are hard to draw, y’all. This storyboarder. And they even made sure that the shoes looked very small and precious the way Yugi shoes would be. Little Cinderella size 5 Yugi shoes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh finally.
So it was only a matter of time before the people who actually care about being possessed noticed this situation, it just took like...a season longer than I thought it would. I’ll be honest it was quite cathartic for them to actually address for the first time in what feels like a long time “SHOOT, GHOSTS!?!?”
Although it was kind of funny that the biggest reaction to all of this came straight from Joey. Yugi still doesn’t care, Tristan’s decided to just accept this, and Duke is just slowly backing away. But Joey’s going to try and do the work that Yugi should have done last episode.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
HOT DAMN.
So, lets go over the Yugioh power chart here. Tristan can punch out Bakura. Tristan can also defeat Seto Kaiba with a broomstick. Joey can kick Tristan, even when Tristan is armed with a broomstick, so hard that Tristan flew through a metal door and bent it completely over backwards. Tea, however, can knock Joey completely over with one single index finger.
How has this girl ever been abducted? Was she just bored?
Bro wants to bring up that she once incapacitated a man with her butt. Just falling on top of a guy and hitting him with her butt of steel. Was she even in danger from the shipping container when she could just bat it away? She once choked out Season 0 Yugi Muto. She was always fine.
Credit to Joey, he keeps trying, and it gives us, for the first time, a sneak peek into what it must be like for Yugi and Joey to hang out on the offtimes that Yugi switches over and Pharaoh hasn’t quite gotten the memo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is in fact, the second time that she’s done this.
Tumblr media
(meanwhile, sitting next to Odion, is one single cargo pocket floating in the air, gently smoking a purple haze like incense)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Welcome back Odion! I only now just realized how freakin jacked your neck is.
Like y’all his neck is wider than his head, hot damn.
Anyway, this show is secretly all about the power of big brothers, so I assume he’s going to start the mile long crawl to the top of the tower and then just...walk in...just walk right into a shadow game...?
...no one thought to stay with Odion? Like not even Serenity? Or at least leave him a weelchair? what the hell?
Odion always gets the worst wrap, this poor guy.
Anyway if you just got here, this is a link to read these recaps in chrono order from the beginning and watch my progression of knowing nothing about Yugioh to knowing a lot about random facts about Yugioh but still knowing absolutely nothing at all just like Socrates.
And here’s that shot of Marik for y’alls anime scene redraws, knock yourself out.

It’s fucking crazy how in a show meant to wake the general populace up, people really do seem to hate majority of the female characters. Note it’s only the complex ones, because god forbid Margret Atwood wrote them as shades of grey and not as definitively “evil” or “good”.
I’ve been in quite a few shitty fandoms in my day but I’m not certain I’ve been in one quite as overwhelmingly tone deaf as The Handmaid’s Tale fandom. I have never seen so much hypocrisy and virtue signalling and fake wokeness in a singular fandom with source material (in terms of the original novel and S1/2 at least) that directly opposes those things. Like I was in GoT fandom for a while and holy shit the misogyny there. So, I know what it looks like. But the thing about that hellplace was that there was still a fairly recognisable and approachable faction that loudly and actively spoke out about the sheer number of issues with GoT (racism, misogyny, etc.) I feel like those people gave up on the show about mid-run, and GoT was left with a bunch of idiots and “libfems” by the end.
The thing about THT is that it appears to be 95% idiots and fake-woke “feminists” I put it in quotes cos they are NOT feminists. They just like to identify as that cos it’s trendy. They have no idea what feminism is if they centre Nick in the THT narrative, or refuse to engage with any female character other than June or Emily in any rational way and instead wish rape, violence, torture, death, and/or intense suffering on any female character (or apparently actor who plays said character!) they personally dislike because they don’t have the braincells to understand what Atwood specifically was trying to do.)
When THT becomes all about a MALE and his precious fweelings, and his uwu luv stowwy wiv Jwune and all they focus on is how “cool” June is for bullying other Handmaids into suicide, and how “awesome” she is for being 1000% selfish and self-absorbed and not caring at all about all the other women (esp. poor women of colour) she tramples on to get what she wants, that is NOT GOOD. This is a character who purposely and actively manipulated a domestic abuse victim to go back to her abusive, violent, cheater, rapist husband for June’s own ends. (And surprise, surprise that blew up in her face and people really take June’s side 100% on that cos “Serena deserves Fred” aka “Serena deserves to be beaten, raped, and abused by her husband because she’s a bad woman who has done bad things herself”. When you are saying a woman, no matter who they are, deserves to be beaten and raped and imprisoned in that situation, you are not a feminist because that isn’t justice for Serena’s crimes. That is torture.) Nothing June did in S3 was heroic. She is almost no better than the woman she hates at this point. I see very little difference between June and Serena anymore, and yet… YET fans think the sun shines out of June’s ass and Serena should be raped to death (aka “Wouldn’t it be soooo cool if Serena became a Handmaid?! Omg so cool! She deserves it! Hurr durr I am FEMINIST!!!!”).
O.o
There is zero nuance in THT fandom. It’s fine to dislike female characters. It’s fine to be critical of them. It’s fine to like male characters (I guess…). But centring men in a woman’s story and then parroting Gilead’s ideals unironically while calling yourself woke? It’s terrifying. 
June is so gross in S3, and when she isn’t being awful, she’s written as some child-crazed, hysterical woman. The writers’ full sexism and internalized (or externalized lol) misogyny on clear display. And the fans just LAP IT UP with no critical thought. No complaint. Like, “Yes, this is what a woman should be!” nevermind the entire purpose of the commentary in the novel (and S1) was that women are MORE than just hysterical, overly emotional baby-machines or housekeepers. Women are not mere resources to be harvested like cattle. Women have more personality than just “ME WANT BABBY!!!” Women are resourceful and complex and not all good, not all bad. Women are conflicted and conflicting. Meanwhile, now the show presents women almost identically to how Serena Joy wrote about them, and how Gilead has identified them, and the fans are like “Yeah! This is fine! I don’t see any problems with this at all!”
And if you dare say, “Um, guys, that’s a pretty bad take. Do you understand what you’re actually saying?” you get called a “rape apologist!!! HURRRR!!!! WHAT ABUT 2x10!!!!!” And it literally doesn’t matter what you challenge these fans about, whether it’s Nick, the themes of THT, Serena, June, etc. They see you are a fan of Serena and suddenly the discourse deteriorates completely to “Nazi!!!! you’re a rapist nazi sympathizer!!!!!!!!!” 
So, there’s no point in talking to any of them. Yeah, cos I’m the one saying women I don’t like deserve to be raped and beaten until they die as slaves in an oppressive fascist regime. (That’s actually you guys, jsyk.) My favourite was being compared to an MRA. Like, do you people even read what you write? 
I’m not the one talking non-stop about how great Mr. Soggy Pancake Man is and how we must protect this precious bean in a story about massive female oppression uwu. “BUT WHAT ABOUT NICK?!?! MOST IMPORTANT CHARACTER!!!” I hate men, lol. I can’t count the number of times I’ve literally said, “I don’t give a shit about ANY of the men in THT. I only care about women and you people are misogynistic pigs for the way you talk about women.” yet I’m a Men’s Rights Activist?
What I hear when I go into the tags: 
“All women are awful harpies and stupid or boring except this specific one cos we want her to bone the Cute Boy we’re obsessed with and she’s just basically a self-insert for our own lonely fantasies and we need to only hear about the Cute Boy, not these annoying women. If a woman character interferes or challenges my heterosexual fantasy OTP in any way, that woman must suffer and die, and I’ll laugh and cheer as that happens, especially if she’s beaten by her husband or loses her mind/commits suicide! They deserve it! Also, who really cares about all those other women’s stories elsewhere in the world. BORING! My white saviour self-insert main female character can do no wrong because I am perfect! I’ll even go out of my way and actively search out people who aren’t doing anything to me, aren’t talking to me at all and just keeping to themselves, and send online threats, hate, and insults to anybody who doesn’t agree with me about how great Mr. Stale Bread is and they’re Nazis for not agreeing with me.” 
And I’M the MRA? I’m the crazy one?
No self-awareness at all. No nuance. No critical thinking skills. And a HELL of a lot of projection that they don’t even seem to know they’re making. There are grown ass women (like 40 YEAR OLDS!) who worship Nick Bland’s ugly dick, online bullying literal minors who don’t subscribe to the Serena-Hate groupthink. It’s a cesspool. THT fandom fucking SUCKS. I’m gonna guess it’s these same morons who wished that Yvonne would lose her baby cos you hate SERENA. Like, if you don’t think this is disgusting, I don’t know how else to get it through to you that something is VERY WRONG with the vast majority of online THT fandom.
99% of this fandom doesn’t seem to give a fuck what Atwood was trying to say in her novel, or what the show intentionally set out to do challenge and prove. Anyway, anon. I feel ya. I hate this fandom which is why I never check the tags anymore, never go on Twitter, unfollowed the Insta, don’t go on FB, and stick with my very wonderful small group of non-crazies who also appreciate the complex, difficult character of Serena here – and block everyone else I can because I just don’t have time for that kind of constant drama and aggravation from ignorant people.
Wow. Okay. Sorry. Rant over.

WARNING: MASSIVE RANT UPCOMING
Tumblr media
Huehuehue - this should be fun.
————————————————
FIRST OF ALL:
I do not hate BTS at all. However, I do hate ARMYs. Not all armys just before I get messages saying “NoT aLl ArMyS”. I do hate ARMYs like you, the ones that give ARMYs and BTS a bad name. Let me guess? You’re one of them ARMYs that believe the boys are yours? That they can’t date because they should focus on you? You’re one that believes BTS is all k-pop is.
WAKE UP CALL: K-POP IS NOT BTS!
BTS was one of my first groups, however ARMYs did help drive me away from them. Again, not all ARMYs, just the immature ones like you who give them all a bad name. You wonder why ARMYs became one of the most hated fandoms? I have nothing against the 7 of them, they’re amazing with what they’ve accomplished and I absolutely, hands down, wish them the best and hope they continue to make massive achievements and make the world proud.
————————————————
Now: IF IT’S IS TO DO WITH MY BIO “mostly groups starting with B” !
There are many groups that begin with B, and ones that I actually stan, groups that are underrated and deserve better, ones that [in my opinion] are better than BTS.
Let me give a few shorts examples.
BigBang
B.A.P
BtoB
Block-B
Boyfriend
B1A4
Buzz
Boys Republic
Now. These groups all begin with B, and yet, have you noticed I don’t just post them? Let me again, give a few small examples of who I post.
TVXQ
MBLAQ
Super Junior
SHINee
Shinhwa
EXO
Team H
Epik High
M.I.B
A.C.E
iKON
Winner
————————————————
If you specifically want to see BTS posts then I highly recommend blogs dedicated to them. I could tag a few great ones if you’d like? Maybe you could follow the tag BTS!
DO NOT BE DISRESPECTFUL BECAUSE THEY’RE YOUR FAVOURITES
Now I won’t be surprised if I get a lot of replies talking about how “it isn’t all ARMYs” which I’ve already said that I know or “but other fandoms do it too” but we’re not talking about them necessarily. Such as, commenting about BTS EVERYWHERE. You get them on other groups videos (especially on YouTube), on their Instagram lives / VLives, Twitter etc (just look at all them reporting Baekhyuns account). It’s so disrespectful to be always talking about BTS on something that is about a different group. You even get them where K-POP isn’t even mentioned, you have to know your boundaries! AGAIN NOT ALL ARMYS, I KNOW!
————————————————
Now to slightly go off topic.
LETS START WITH:
- Don’t discredit other groups because they’re one of the “big 3”. Many groups trained for years, overcame struggles, worked hard and fought for their debut. Not only that but they also work hard to keep active and not disband, they work hard to have what they have and that shouldn’t be took away because “BTS came from a small company”.
Guess what? They’re not the only ones either
Block-B & B.A.P (as 2 examples) came from “small” companies [basically not from the “big 3” is what I’m saying]. They overcome A LOT!
These two amazing groups overcame lawsuits against their companies and stayed together, Block-B filed a massive law suit and yet their leader, Zico, still managed to keep that group together and continued to produce and sell AMAZING songs even when they changed companies (very amazing to be able to stay as Block-B even after leaving and joining another company FYI). Did BTS do that? No. Will I discredit them because they didn’t have that hardship? No.
Just because they come from different situations doesn’t mean that they shouldn’t be counted. Many groups have struggled and gone through a hell of a lot, even if they are part of bigger companies but you can’t discredit hard work because of where they come from, to show you how stupid that sounds it’s like you like saying
“Well it doesn’t matter what Einstein did because he was ALREADY smart anyway.”
See how stupid that sounds? Would you discredit him for all of his hard work because he was already in, what some may say, a more advantaged place? No. It’s just silly.
NEXT:
Let’s start off when ARMYs try to say that BTS are legends and “_____” are just old or trash etc.
Yes, BTS have done so well but they’re not legends, not yet. They’re still a fairly new group, I’m not saying they aren’t amazing, because let’s be honest, they are! However, you CANNOT say that they are more legendary or “better” than groups like H.O.T, MBLAQ, TVXQ, Shinhwa, BigBang, SHINee, Roo’Ra etc. When other fandoms say that them groups paved the way for your favourite BTS, they’re not being disrespectful but they are telling the truth.
Do you really believe BTS would have come this far if it weren’t for all them groups? Maybe. Maybe they would have, maybe they wouldn’t have but we don’t know. K-pop became what it is and known because of them legendary groups! BTS may now be helping pave the way for newer groups too but never ever try and disrespect an older group and say that they had no impact on the industry.
Remember: BTS looks up and admires these groups such as BigBang!
I again, do not hate BTS (in fact I have something about them coming out soon that had been requested).
LETS MOVE ON TO: PRODUCING ETC
A lot of ARMYs that are toxic always bring up the fact that they [BTS] do everything themselves. Now, again for examples I’ll use Block-B and B.A.P first.
Zico - one of the best rappers and producers in the industry. Him and Kyung have produced all of Block-B’s albums. He writes his own lyrics and music.
Yongguk - with his latest songs, he directed, edited, produced, wrote the lyrics, arranged, mixed and mastered it. Now, that takes serious skill too.
A hell of a lot of groups & artists produce their own music / own lyrics / own choreography etc so don’t try and say someone else does it for them all.
ANOTHER THING:
I feel like I’ll get a lot of hate for what I’ve said [especially seem as I’ve went off on a tangent] but I feel like you’re very mad that I don’t post BTS but why should I? It’s just like when you get hate for saying that you don’t like BTS or you prefer other groups? Why do you feel the need to attack? It’s okay for you to say that you dislike so and so etc but as soon as someone says they don’t like your favourites you go mad? Grow up.
WHAT ABOUT VIEWS?
Another reason I don’t necessarily post about BTS is because they’re everywhere already. Nearly every blog posts about them so why is it such a bad thing if I don’t? Again [im making assumptions but oh well] you’re probably one of them ARMYs that thinks it’s all about views, hm? Always on about them breaking records well let me tell you
NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT VIEWS
Just because a video has more views than someone else’s does not mean they are better nor does it mean they’re more popular. See, a lot of ARMYs watch the videos to get records and are always STREAM STREAM STREAM while I’d rather watch it because I want to enjoy it and enjoy the music, not once does it cross my mind that “this video needs to get 1M views in 5 minutes” or “they need to beat _____!” Sometimes I believe that videos do deserve more views but I will never put another group down because they have less than my favourites.
ALSO LASTLY -
My name is “TOPBAP” as in T.O.P of BigBang and B.A.P - so, literally nothing on my blog has anything to do with BTS so why should I post about them? Lol. I know I went on a tangent but it just pisses me off that everything has to be about BTS. I will maybe, occasionally post about them but I like to post about the groups I love the most. If you have a problem with that block me or just don’t look at my account. Like I said earlier, there are plenty of accounts dedicated solely to BTS, go follow them if you’re that bothered.

Y'all ready for a rant™?
Heads up that this rant will most likely (I’m just typing and seeing where it goes) mention abuse, anorexia, depression, selfharm, rape, gore? (let me know if I need to tag anything else)
~
So there’s this girl, I’m gonna call her Taylor for the sake of convenience. Taylor was very close with Angel, Jane, and I (again, fake names). Angel and Taylor are both bisexual, right? Taylor gets a massive crush on Angel. So, they start dating and it’s extremely cute. Now, throughout our friend group it became a little funny thing to make another friend a dedication account. Taylor made one for Angel which will come into play later. It had only one picture of an uncomfortable Angel zoomed in on her face. Leaning on creepy but meh, it was a funny thing, right? What could’ve gone wrong? Everything.
Taylor began to grow possessive of Angel. She growled at Angel’s ex boyfriend (who is still a friend) whenever she saw him. She started getting mad whenever Angel hung out with others. She’d blame her whenever something happened, telling her how awful she was. Angel, an asexual with diagnosed anxiety and depression, felt uncomfortable with how touchy Taylor was sometimes. Jane mentioned this to Taylor, who lashed at her and told her to stop trying to ruin their relationship.
Angel mentions the same thing to Taylor. Taylor goes and accuses Jane of making her say that. I don’t know whether the next thing occured before or after this, (I believe it was before). Taylor grabbed Angel by her jacket, choking her. It could be seen as an accident except she noticed she was choking her and wouldn’t let go. This left a mark.
By now, Angel was planning to break up with her. Taylor learned of this and dumped her first. Angel didn’t mind, she was just glad to be out of the relationship. She asked Taylor to return her jacket and take down the account. It took Taylor several weeks to return the jacket but she never took down the account. Ever. Another friend hacks her gmail, changed the password to the account, and takes it down.
But wait, there’s more! This girl continues to text me, believing we’re friend despite me blocking her on all social media, and insulting Angel and Jane. She constantly harassed Jane, calling her every name under the sun. I feel it’s appropriate to say that Taylor finds it funny to throw knives at squirrels.
We all, especially Angel, wanted things to be over with but Taylor just wouldn’t let it drop. (I now understand that she was trying to get Jane to incriminate herself but) then we learned about the fucking journal. That thing genuinely terrifies me.
This journal told about her mental issues and some other, darker things. Before we get into that, I want to say that I feel bad for her. Her mom read a bit of the journal (the part about anorexia) and she’d told her about her cutting. Her mom refused (and still does) to get her the help she needs. But just because you have a reason that you did something bad doesn’t make it any less bad.
This journal had stories in it. One “story” was a fucking murder plot. I don’t mean “I slit their throat and bury them lol.” I mean a descriptive fucking murder plot which includes skinning the victimand listening to them scream in agony before stabbing them in the chest repeatedly. Another was a…fantasy. It was written about Angel from before they were dating. In this story she drugs Angel’s water and rapes her. She fucking rapes her.
I, very recently, made it clear that we were not friends. I admit that I was harsh. I let my anger get the best of me. I blocked her number immediately after. There's more to this part but I'll talk about it another time. She’s been, apparently, planning to file a HIB (harassement, intimidation, and bullying) report to the counciler against me for the text I sent to break off contact. Lucky for me, there are witnesses and screenshots in my favor. Along with this, this happened out of school so she can’t do much.
Now, a quick part of emotions.
I considered her family. She was my best friend and I told her everything, we all did. I fucking loved that girl like she was my sister. If someone who we thought to be so kind and amazing could be the exact opposite, who can you trust? I’m terrified because of that fucking journal. I’m scared for Angel and how this is hurting her. I'm worried about Jane and how she's dealing. I know I’ll have to get over it, I know it’s stupid. I just want it to be over.

NAME OF YOUR MUSE: Fabian Cortez ONE PICTURE YOU LIKE BEST OF YOUR MUSE’S FC:
Tumblr media
TWO HEADCANONS YOU HAVE FOR YOUR MUSE THAT YOU NEVER TOLD ANYONE
- Fabian's power has ALWAYS been defined as the ability to enhance other MUTANTS. That's what's stated every time it's described in canon, and on every resource I can find. So of course I always had his abilities limited to mutants alone. But then I read the Quicksilver miniseries, where he teams up with Maximus the Mad, an Inhuman, and said team-up plot hinges on his ability to boost Maximus's powers.  Without it, it just doesn't work. So I can't just ignore it, since that would mean ignoring that entire plot, which I don't want to do because Maximus and Fabian have a beautiful hilarious mutually-backstabbing dynamic that I JUST LOVE to the point of crackship, so what I've decided is...Fabian can use his powers on anyone whose own powers are firstly genetic, and secondly who are from a species that is part of/descended from humans. So, his powers work on mutants, and also on Inhumans, Eternals, Deviants, and any other super-powered offshoot of humanity in Marvel. But it doesn't work on, say, Kree or Skrulls, since those are aliens and have no relation to humanity, nor on Asgardians or Olympians or what-have-you, and also not on people like Captain America and the Hulk (since their powers aren't from their genetics) -For awhile I went with it being ambiguous if he actually got his penis chopped off in my portrayal as per my theory, but at this point I say that, despite my theory, my version does still have it and it's perfectly normal. Mainly because I feel like losing it would be a big psychological thing that I don't want to write, especially since I don't expect other people to be exactly sensitive about the matter because LOL PENIS and, well, it's Fabian. I've mentioned before to you that I think that a lot of people miss here that humor is NOT “lol a man without a penis” because that relies on a lot of cissexist values, what's funny is the idea that this specific man who is shitty in a specifically penis-related way got it violently removed. Like that's funny, especially in a crack context, but if I played it seriously, in a non-crack realistic way, that's a traumatic injury and also a physical disability and I just don't want to deal with not only trying to write it accurately, but also with people treating that like a joke just because it's Fabian and/or involves genitals. So it's there, and it's normal-sized and functional and all of that, because frankly I also don't see why small penis/ED jokes are needed with Fabs either, like...that's not the issue? The issue is he's an awful person? And making fun of people's bodies and medical conditions isn't cool, nor is the idea a man's worth is defined by the presence, size, and sexual use of a penis? It just seems like “we're going to make fun of this sexist shitty guy using MORE SHITTY SEXISM and see no irony in that whatsoever!” after a certain point. I'm not opposed to MUSES saying stuff like this IC, but OOC it’s like...look, I maintain that my theory is funny, but I think people have mistaken WHAT makes it funny and WHY in a way that is pretty disheartening for a site/community that prides itself on being so damn progressive. Sorry this turned into a mini-rant, but this was a good opportunity for me to bring it up...no pun intended. God this is so much more text on Fabian’s donger than I ever wanted to write.
THREE THINGS THAT YOUR MUSE LIKES DOING IN THEIR FREE TIME:
Daydreaming and fantasizing. A lot of it is about exactly what you’d expect from Fabian but a lot is also just about going home and having a normal life like none of this ever happened
While he consistently fails in RP, I have no doubt he’s actually quite successful at getting laid “off-camera” so to speak. Please consider him in some club telling a totally made up tragic past with puppydog eyes to a small bunch of women about how he got the massive scars on his chest HE IS A BEAUTIFUL BROKEN MAN AND ONLY YOU AND YOUR MAGICAL VAGINA CAN HEAL HIM LADIES ;A;
Hanging out with Haven. Look, he needs her, LOOK AT HIS LIFE
SEVEN PEOPLE THAT YOUR MUSE LOVES/LIKES:
- Chrome and Delgado. Yeah he killed them, and he'd do it again, but that doesn't mean he doesn't genuinely like them and enjoy their company. That's how Fabs is. Heck, he liked Anne Marie before/when he killed her, he only started hating AFTER she came back to life, because that's when she became a danger to him. But he didn't hate her before that. That's not what the murder was about, it was just about power.
- His family back home. - Haven - He really liked Magda (in a non-shitty way, no less!) back in Chatzy - @allmom‘s  Frigga. Yes as in Thor's mom. He thinks she's the greatest. And as with Magda and Haven, it's for NON SHITTY REASONS WHOO! -He's really warming up to Lyn @apocalyptus-secundus. I mean, she's flattering, she has sex with him, she could be useful, and she's damn cute when she's not grey, what's not to like, right? - BRAT
...these are admittedly either mostly my muses or my NPCs but I THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTAND HOW FABIAN PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE GETTING A LOT OF FRIENDSHIPS AND ROMANCES
TWO THINGS YOUR MUSE REGRETS:
- Leaving home and getting involved in this whole “supervillain” thing at all to begin with. Yes, it worked out SPLENDIDLY for awhile, but in the long run it's been nothing but terrible for him and he just wants to get out of it - Trying it again after his first death. He could have just run home after his first resurrection with no one the wiser, but noooo, he had to go back and try to get control over the Acolytes and let everyone know he was alive again so Magneto could hunt him down later for his own use on Genosha and kill him when he was no longer needed! That sure worked out GREAT!
A PHOBIA YOUR MUSE HAS:
Death. Everyone is afraid of dying, but Fabian is someone who has actually done it three times, and 2/3 of those times were surrounded with a whole lot time to be afraid first (versus the death of the other Acolytes, which was comparativly swift and thus not something I write them as having trauma from, especially since their memories of it got pretty jacked up too, hence why they don’t remember HE’S RESPONSIBLE) I mean, the first time around, HE PRETTY MUCH LOST HIS MIND in fear of Exodus coming to kill him, he’s having an obvious nervous breakdown , and he turned out to be totally justified in that since not only did Exodus do exactly that when he found him, he also enjoyed torturing him via telepathic pain first too. It wasn’t fun. It also wasn’t fun the second time around where Magneto forced him to be his personal battery, knowing the entire time that the moment Magneto’s powers were back to normal again he would execute him, and just having to helplessly wait for that, presumably unable to get away lest he have something WORSE than death happen to him if Magneto caught him.So yeah, Fabian has a LOT of traumatic history surrounding his own death, and that’s why he’s still terrified by it not because of the finality (as it’s clearly NOT final for him) but because of the associations of fear and pain.

Good and Bad in Gaming
Gaming is certainly one of the largest pastimes or even careers in the world. People play games for fun or gaining knowledge of while others file videos approximately the games. In this newsletter, I will cognizance more on gaming itself and not so much the facet of how to make gaming movies. Gamers are available all different ages, genders, religions, places and shapes. The backgrounds of individuals who are gamers make gaming that much more fun.
  Backgrounds of gamers can play a component in the form of video games that people play. There are all varieties of combinations for special categories regarding the form of games and type of gamers. You really need to look at the sport’s website to get all the pertinent records previous to shopping for.
  There are many on-line systems where you could purchase games from which includes Steam or Humble Bundle. Those web sites will come up with the description, videos through the organization, images, person and non-user tags, critiques, website, organization and their social account(s). Be aware the game’s internet site may not display you the whole thing you need to understand. As a minimal, a gaming company will show a brief income pitch description, the small quantity of images (5 at best), one or videos by means of them and their social accounts. The maximum they’ll provide is an informative description, their social accounts, person evaluations and videos via them.
  Let’s dive properly into what is perceived as poor about gaming. The majority of the poor matters approximately games come from the actual-life humans on those games, the sort of games and the styles of games for the wrong character. A recreation may be poorly made but it’s not continually the case where the sport itself is awful. It may be where it changed into the wrong form of recreation for the incorrect man or woman. This is where the types are available in. Maybe a recreation has a bit of violence. That would not make it bad; it just makes it the incorrect type of sport for a seven yr vintage. Or maybe you bought a puzzle recreation for a person who loves motion type video games. So the motion loving person won’t enjoy it, but that does not make the puzzle sport bad!
gaming
The styles of video games are infinite from nudity, capsules, and alcohol, horror, playing with money and extra. These differing types are wrong for youngsters gamers in addition to incorrect for people who don’t like seeing such matters.
  Gaming has good and horrific aspects much like the entirety else. The secret’s how top and terrible are the one’s facets. For instance, a few video games have an awful aspect with gamers that like to fight a lot. This is commonplace in games. Understand for a variety of game enthusiasts this is not a huge deal; but, for youth who are new to the sport or even gaming in standard, this may be irritating. There are instances whilst you want to keep away from the terrible aspects all collectively. There are times when the best outweighs the horrific. If this happens and there aren’t any problems with the game itself; then the horrific aspect is simply that one little fly in your room which isn’t any big deal. Caution: If the bad outweighs the good, I could strongly advocate keeping off that sport.
  Another component that people will nag a recreation developer or author approximately is representation. Should I say a lack of illustration which isn’t confined to race, frame type and message in the game? If you’re able to personalize your individual, then of the path you may not have a problem with representation. There is a trouble in some games where they do not represent sturdy and smart ladies, minority ladies and adult males, large, small, tall, and brief women and men. Notice how I failed to put “adult males” after a woman for strong? That’s due to the fact males in video games are ALWAYS represented as sturdy and smart.
  In games that display a male robust and clever, he’s going to normally probably be white, tall, skinny, movie famous person looking and buff. You will rarely see him be a minority, quick, obese, now not buff, nerdy looking, whilst still being strong and smart. You see this even LESS for females. Some girls in games are also white, tall, skinny and strong even as showing skin like no tomorrow. You only see THESE females in MMORPG video games (Massively Multiplayer on line Role Playing Game) although. RPG video games are supposed for fantasy worlds where you by and large combat human beings and monsters. Of course, the women’ stats may be sturdy but they may not look sturdy.
  In maximum video games, after they add a person in an effort to play they usually add a white male first, then a white lady, then a black male, after which a black woman. They do not even actually add those who are mixes of races or in among. When it involves the black characters they best add one shade of “black” or “African-American” and not each black man or woman on this planet is that color.
  In games, the general public of the characters is constantly skinny and tall. You don’t absolutely see characters which are short and skinny, tall and overweight, short and chubby, and so on. There are a variety of folks that aren’t skinny and who are not tall.
Then finally, there may be the mental message that is going with the gender, race, and body kind. What do I mean through the mental message? Some games ship an oblique message approximately that man or woman being robust and smart or some thing else. While for different video games it is able to be an intellectual message either on the motive or now not. For instance, in the sport, you play and you see a minority girl who is short, overweight, nerdy searching and her tendencies are to be a goof ball, naive, and dumb. It may want to send an intellectual message to you that people that appear to her are much like her. They’re no longer smart, they are not thin, and aren’t tall. They did poorly in school and many others. And many others. So you begin thinking the one’s matters based on now not handiest seeing this in that recreation time and again, however, whilst it takes place in other video games too.
  The worst element is NONE of this stuff is authentic. Yes, some humans are not skinny, tall, and perhaps now not that shiny; but now not EVERYONE is like this! You do have quick chubby minorities who are clever as all get out! You have all kinds of combos of those who ARE clever! Of course, all this stuff approximately gender, race, body type, and messages are not just in gaming; they may be in movies, TV shows, ads, etc. What’s exciting is that some of the creators who make the video games, movies, TV shows, commercials, and so forth., are minorities themselves and they make up the populace of the earth. (Search “world populace by using race 2016” and click on the first three hyperlinks in case you don’t believe me.)
  Quick disclaimer: I AM NOT BASHING ANYONE! Yes, I became shouting that. This phase of the item is telling you what I realize, examine, listen and experience in gaming.
good
If you do not agree with me move has a look at present day TV shows, films, advertisements, and video games. A display to look at for proper illustration is Milo Murphy’s Law. Two video games to study as a reference for suitable illustration are OverWatch and Atlas Reactor. Now in those fields, it has gotten better for illustration specifically gender, race and simply now starting body kind (in particular in this order). Some games even upload robots and creatures as playable characters to keep away from having troubles with representation. This eliminates the hassle of customers wanting an individual to symbolize their actual or preferred gender, race, or frame kind because now there may be a man or woman maximum users can agree on. After all, you can not please every body.
Alright, now that I ranted and got the bad stuff out of the manner; allow’s get into the good components of gaming! You have game enthusiasts as young as three years old and as vintage as 90+! No, be counted your age, race, gender, faith, culture, or vicinity gaming may be precise for all people. Gaming cannot most effective be amusing, however beneficial and academic.
  A gain with gaming is it could help adolescents have greater self-assurance in themselves and be extra social. If they play an online multiplayer game and speak to different players around the arena, this could help then get used to talking to different human beings except for family and that they gain self-belief in what they’re saying. They can move from an introvert to a social enthusiast! It can show up rapid or slowly. Even if it’s now not a recreation but an area for gamers, artists, style designers, vehicle enthusiast, and so on. To speak; it’ll nevertheless help them be more social. Keep in mind although, typing to someone after which voice chatting to a person are specific experiences. Youth may be very social when typing however very shy whilst voice chatting.
  This is how I am. Before I turned into shy while speaking to humans I did not recognize whether or not it become online or offline, now I’ve emerged as greater at ease with it because I realize the way to manage myself and believe in myself. But with regards to voice chatting on-line, I’m the quiet individual on the chat. Counterproductive right! You would possibly even forget about I became a name with you! Before when the people on the financial institution said: “Hi” I would not say some thing, now I definitely respond and say “Hi. How are you?” After that, I do not absolutely assume to talk with them so I’ll be quiet once more lol. See what I suggest? After socializing, in preferred, through the years you get better at it and come to be less fearful and more assured in yourself.
  Another advantage with gaming is group paintings. Sometimes in video games, the best way to win or accomplish an intention is to paintings with one or more gamers. In positive games, gamers are allowed a challenge can be finished with handiest one player, but it is probably more difficult unless you have got greater players than your self. Other instances certain obligations can’t be achieved with one player and want or greater. There are instances you’re making a group along with your friends or own family to complete the purpose. Other instances you could make a group with people you didn’t realize.
  This is where it can get difficult. If it is a game wherein you could make a set this is inviting simplest, you would simply invite your pals or own family. You can strategize with them, you’ll be greater secure speak with them, and you may all conform to work collectively. If it’s a game wherein there is no institution device however you could nevertheless paintings with others, aka loose for fall, and you can speak with them there may also nonetheless be a goal that could only be finished with a couple of gamers. Do you have to play with other gamers you have in no way talked to before in case your circle of relatives and buddies can not be a part of you and you really need to complete this goal?
  This is not a terrible thing although! This is where you no longer most effective turn out to be more social however you discover ways to work with other players you’ve never met earlier than. If you continually play along with your circle of relatives and friends you both already realize the way to work collectively, how the opposite thinks, etc. But if it’s someone you have never met it can be a bit difficult. I and my brother grew up doing the whole lot collectively with out truly having any pals, perhaps colleagues and friends but no longer in reality buddies. So we were very used to understanding what the other desired or how they played and many others. But when we surely were given two friends, it becomes very hard to agree on many stuff. So if you play and work with different people now it is going to be less complicated later. I and my brother have progressed our abilities to work with others.
Another advantage is persistence which ties in with crew constructing and socializing. After all, in order to get higher at some thing you no longer simplest should hold doing it however you have to have patience even as doing it. There are many instances in video games in which you need to wait. Just like studying is in everything, you have to have persistence for everything. In video games, you usually have to look ahead to some thing. You need to have patience for locating some thing, something to finish cooking, some thing to finish death, your buddies to come back lower back from going AFK (Away From Keyboard), the next wave of monsters to return, the subsequent stage to open up, etc. Etc. I had to have endurance while writing this article! So gaming will let you have extra endurance in gaming and regular lifestyles.
  Another benefit is hand and eye coordination. When you’re gaming you need to pay attention to what’s happening on your display even as additionally urgent your controller or keyboard button to do extra things on your display. If you want to move your person in that sport, you have to use your keyboard and mouse or a controller at the same time as nonetheless searching for your display screen. It’s like getting to know a way to kind. Most of the time you’re presupposed to learn how to type phrases and sentences whilst looking at your display with out searching for your keyboard. This same aspect applies to gaming. You have so as to press the needed keys for you to accomplish that element you’re looking to do even as looking at your screen. After all, if you’re urgent your keys but now not looking at your screen, how can you recognize in case you’re doing it right?
  Now, this one is a gain and academic gain – reminiscence. Games can help improve your reminiscence. How? Let me tell you. Take what I stated above approximately typing. The individuals who can look at their displays and type with out looking at their keyboard have some thing known as “muscle memory”. When they want to make a sure letter seem on screen they just ought to press that key and that they don’t must study the keyboard due to the fact they have got a press that key so commonly they themselves and their muscle groups remember wherein that certain keys. You have muscle reminiscence already. Don’t trust me? Take a look at your keyboard right now. You see in which all the letters, numbers, and emblems are proper? The letters aren’t in alphabetical order. So whenever you tried to kind your call or something on a digital keyboard wherein the letter have been alphabetical; Did you’re taking you longer than normally to type that word and was it bizarre and perplexing? It becomes. I’ve done it. You understand why?
When you kind or text to a person you know the phrase you need to make seem on display screen and also you don’t forget wherein the keys are. Maybe you can not tell them so as if a person asked you however if they requested you to kind a phrase you’d be able to type it due to the fact you understand in which the keys are. For me, I recognize how to spell positive words after I’m typing however perhaps no longer how to spell it verbally. This is because I’m seeing the word being spelled in front of me. Technically when we type to each other we’re spelling out words and then analyzing them in our thoughts. But when you talk out loud you don’t see the words you simply pay attention them. Sure, when you study textual content on the screen you pay attention them to your mind, even proper no longer you listen to these phrases I’m typing, but you do not verbally hear them and you’re seeing every letter make up that word. When someone spells something incorrect you straight away notice it because it’s not spelled proper and you examine it. When a person speaks something you don’t read any letters, you best hear the word.
  So video games assist you to build up muscle reminiscence and mind memory. If you can save objects in game you need to remember where you put it, or in case you want a recipe to make some thing you may keep in mind the recipe, or perhaps you don’t forget a detail about some thing important, or perhaps you do not forget the manner through a maze or the way domestic. Some games are even built simply to help enhance your memory or the best manner to maintain progressing is remembering positive information. My mother can type with out looking at the keyboard, however, struggles with trying to stroll in games.
bad
So now allow’s get the educational benefits. One academic gain is math. Now, the game would not need to have an aim to teach you math so as for it to have math. The point of going to high school is to get a training! Not socialize, however you still might make friends. So this is applicable to all video games. The recreation would not always have a goal of J but it would include J. Its aim is probably X but it’d nevertheless have J. In a few games you may construct houses and use recipes to make objects. How big do you need your the way to be? 30 blocks X 10 blocks X 60 blocks? Did you recognize what I just said? Let me say it differently. 30 blocks on the X axis (left and proper on the floor), 10 blocks on the Y axis (up and down on the ground), and 60 blocks on the Z axis (up and down within the air). This is the way you’d build a house, the use of math, in a game referred to as Minecraft. With these coordinates, it approaches your home will be a rectangle with a very tall roof. Let’s use Minecraft once more for this subsequent example.
  If you need to make 4 swords for instance, what do you want? You want wood and iron. How a good deal wood? How plenty iron? We’ll start with the take care of. You want two sticks to make the manage for one sword. One wooden log can be changed into four wood planks, take and you could then make four timber sticks. You want to make 4 sword handles. So what number of timber logs do you need? One. For the sword itself, it takes portions of iron. You need to make four swords, so how tons iron do you want? Eight. See? Depending on what you’re making and how many of that element the recipe can call for plenty of assets or only some.
Another instructional advantage is hassle fixing. There are lots of games with puzzles or none but it may nevertheless encompass problem-solving. A good sport as an instance is Scribblenauts Unlimited. In this recreation, you visit to make one of a kind places fixing people’s issues to make them satisfied which offer you an item to cure someone. In order to remedy their troubles, you need to use adjectives and nouns to solve the hassle itself or make some thing to remedy the hassle. The great component is you can remedy that trouble many different methods and no way is the wrong way. Some games even trade primarily based on your selections and we call these “paths”. Some paths can change, stay on the equal direction, or end. So you need to resolve every problem the great way otherwise you could choose the wrong direction or a path that ends.
  Another educational benefit is reaction timing. If you don’t need to die in a certain sport your response to something may be the deciding truth of your survival or grave. The extra you check your reaction timing the faster you’ll get and soon you’ll be able to react to matters speedily. This can come from games with combat like MMORPGs, shooters, and PvP (Player V Player).
You do quite a few these things in games without even understanding it! When you play that recreation you simply must do A, G, M, and S to do some thing it’s far you’re looking to do, without knowing the real world the ones abilities are technically referred to as B, H, N, and T and utilized in three, 6, and 9. See? So you just should get used to applying the one’s capabilities within the real global.
  Some games are higher for positive ages or interests. Some video games are meant for little children, some are for teen and teens, and others are for adults. Then there are video games only for human beings interested by robots, motors, fashion, princesses, ice skating, etc. So the games should have the equal advantages, however, those advantages might be better for certain humans than others.
  Some video games are being utilized in schools or college, as checks for robots and even to educate positive subjects. I these days was given a game a good way to teach me how to study and write the Japanese characters while surviving in a sport international. Some people who do not speak English now are aware of it sufficient to talk to English audio system just by gambling or looking video games in English! If you find a person who knows how to talk, study, or write a little Japanese; ask them if they have watched Anime. Most English speakers understand some Japanese because they play or watch Anime things.
  So whilst you see your youngsters or grandparents playing some games, don’t suppose it’s horrific. It may be helping their memory, problem-solving skills, math capabilities, or they’ll be mastering every other language or mastering greater about a topic.
  As you examine, there are right and bad sides to gaming. I propose you simply have fun and be secure while gaming. There are masses of video games out there for every sort of individual and greater video games are nonetheless coming. Games allow you to improve and teach you abilities you now not most effective use in sport, however, you may use in faculty and within the actual global. Games allow you to get sharp and stay sharp. Have amusing gaming and y’all stay safe!
