okay, so something i’ve been seeing a lot is people acting as though it’s somehow bad or bigoted to dislike the kalagang ending just because it’s ending in a threesome. and i’m sorry, but... wow.
people should maybe be careful not to imply that just because something is not a boring ol’ straight relationship, it’s somehow ignorant to dislike it. sometimes things are just badly written. 
a huge chunk of the sense8 fandom is in the lgbt+ community, and i’d guess it’s pretty much impossible to watch and enjoy the show without at least being an ally. so the implication that it’s ignorant to dislike a polyship that kind of came out of nowhere and was very poorly written (specifically for shock value/to make a statement, which lana has directly stated) just because it’s poly is very short-sighted. we have other polyships in the show that are well-loved and well-received by fans, and pretty much every kalagang fan upset by the special has said that it’s not because it’s poly. it’s because the finale took the couple in a completely different direction than how it had been written for two seasons.
why are we complaining? because a lot of us feel that the finale destroyed kala’s whole character arc to look more “woke” than her just choosing to be with the man she was in love with would have been. because kala’s very compelling narrative of feeling pressed between passion and duty was one that resonated with a lot of women, and it ended in an illogical and impractical way that most of us could never emulate. because she didn’t explain to rajan that she had been unfaithful to him repeatedly in their marriage. because rajan didn’t get to hear the whole truth, nor did he react to it the way any sensible human hearing their spouse is having an affair would have reacted. because kala didn’t suffer the consequences of her infidelity, or any other consequences she had been gearing herself up to face after making herself marry rajan. because the crippling indecision between duty and love that had been a huge point of stress and unhappiness for both her and wolfgang for years was brushed off as a joke repeatedly (“have you talked to either of them?” “*drinks*”). because this was never a love triangle.
why are we not complaining? because we hate poly ships. because we don’t. a lot of us actively stan ot3s. 
i can’t speak for others, but i really do love rajan and always have, and i’ve felt bad for him all throughout sense8 because the show went to lengths to point out that kala doesn’t love him. but just because i love him doesn’t mean i think that all the developments of the past two seasons can be ignored because he “deserves” a happy ending (which he does). i love dani even more, and still think it was very tasteless to include her having sex with lito and hernando in the end of the episode despite lito’s thousand declarations of being exclusively gay.
tl;dr acting like you’re smarter than others for liking a polyship just because it’s a polyship doesn’t actually make you seem smarter or more more open-minded than the people who were disappointed by the sense8 finale. it just makes you sound pretentious. obviously this doesn’t apply to anyone who enjoyed the polyship but hasn’t gotten up on a high horse about it. people like what they like, and we can like what we like without being dicks about it.
(note that most of the rajalagang hate is specifically in the kalagang tag. if you wanna talk about how much you love rajalagang, maybe don’t do it in the otp tag and then get surprised when people disagree with you.)
anyway, thanks for coming to my TED talk, i guess i just wanted to say... you don’t have to force yourself to like something just because you’re told it’s something you should like or you’ll be a bad person. that’s all. <3

man people on tumblr are so soft now. honestly i don’t know how you’re even calm rn i would have flipped my shit long ago
honestly
i’m so sorry to everyone who had to see all that petty discourse after our relaunch. we truly do love you all who choose to stay for our bullshit.
a warning to the anons who keep antagonizing us under the cut.tl;dr: unfollow this blog if you think us at our last straw is rude. lmao
avoid if you dont want more discourse from your local salty mod.
we plan to ignore discourse asks from now on bc y’all seriously. don’t understand that we’re trying but don’t listen and repeat the same shit over and over lmao
y’all know who you are. cringe all you want, cringe culture is dead and we’ve been nice for a long long timey’all just don’t really wanna listen and repeat things over and over no matter how many times we’ve shown you.
this isn’t towards the anon who sent this, this is towards the ones who still continue to call us assholes even though we’ve pulled so many methods for people who don’t look for our old shit where we did try to help but no one listened because y’all are too lazy to search for common questions.
i’m gonna discuss about making a faq with trash when she wakes up.
you guys. are so fucking sensitive.i don’t mean to be fucking rude, but if i am, then so be it.because this is the dumbest discourse y’all have pulled up in here, and it’s over us literally acting the way we’ve always been.
unfollow if you don’t wanna see us get aggravated with you guys sometimes.
because some of you don’t fucking listen.and we’re done with that shit. so you’re a clown if you antagonize us over shit that we’ve repeated over and over, but are just too lazy to look for :o)
we’ve made countless posts, answering questions of the same things, and y’all think it’s rude to finally be done after like? what? almost 2 years of dealing with the same asks over and over?
i apologize, me mostly for being angry all the long while, but i am not coming from fucking nowhere.
asking us to be mature when we’ve done so for so long and finally snapping in half because of the pure laziness of some you is utter bullshit.
i’m shaking in anger because of how much you antagonize us.we’ve linked back.the link to the beginning of the fucking story is in the fucking description, in your fucking face, and we have our mod tags answering questions.the story is barely fucking done. it’s short, it takes no effort to skim through for the question you’re looking for.if you see one that you haven’t seen answered yet, we’ll answer you. you know, like an ask blog.it’s that simple.
if you can’t fucking handle people getting angry over you guys not putting any effort to look for things, then unfollow.
we are usually fucking nice.we are usually kind and we usually do our best to be nice to the people here.we love this blog. we love the people and the content here. we’ve met countless people we’re currently best friends with through this blog.we would never dare to give our good followers bad content.
but if y’all are out here creating discourse over petty shit because we get tired sometimes too, fuck off. i’m gonna keep calling you a goddamn clown. :o)
get out of here.
this is the last time i’m giving you attention.
- mod garbage.

BTS after a breakup
Part 2 of 3
Hyung Line
Part 2 of 3, titled This is Still So Angsty I'm Sorry
Alternate Title: Salty Bois in Their Feelings
Alternate Title 2: The Mystery of Why Any Bitch Would Break Up With J-Hope Continues
Warnings: alcohol, angst
Word Count: 3,160
Namjoon (RM)
Tumblr media
After a month, Namjoon felt a little better
He missed you like crazy and continued to send you texts every week, but the subject matter brightened a little
He limits himself to only looking at your social media once a day, but other than a couple selfies, you have never posted much so it's a moot point except he gets to see your pretty face
He will be completely silent about the situation won't say shit about you and the boys will avoid saying your name because of the look on your face when he hears it
He drinks too much wine at dinner but he's still on top of everything
Won't ever text you unless it's that one day a week, and he spills out everything
He thinks he's doing better he's proud about his progress
Until he is cleaning the bedroom and he finds a book you were reading under the bed
It's dog-eared in the place where you'll never finish it
Bc you left it here just like you left him
He has a mini breakdown over it but manages to try and get some work done
As soon as he opens his internet browser, he knows it's just gonna be a shit day
He sees his name in the headlines
"Rap Monster Kim Namjoon's Ex and Her New Man?"
He doesn't wanna know, but he can't stop himself from clicking on it
He knows the blurry picture is you because he'd know you anywhere
It isn't as if you're all over the guy or anything, but there's a close up of you holding hands and Namjoon feels like he's been punched in the throat
The thing that really gets him though
Is that he's an idol, too
A leader, even, and Namjoon can't help feeling replaced
The reason you left, the whole issue was because he didn't have time for you but you're moving on with another idol?
It made him think it was him, not the time, that you just didn't want him
Jin calls right away to check on him
"You know how the media is, Joon. It doesn't mean anything."
He's right, of course, but when Namjoon lies down to try and sleep, the image of your hand clasped with that guy's haunts him
He texts you just one sentence that week
"I hope he makes you happy."
You call him and Namjoon is so shook he almost drops his phone
"Y/n?"
"I just want you to know that it isn't what you think."
"I guess it isn't my business anymore." He says, trying to keep the bitterness out of his voice
"I don't want you thinking..."
"What? That it wasn't the lifestyle you couldn't handle? That you just didn't want me?" He can't help the angry tears that spring to his eyes
"I never wanted anything as much as I wanted you, Joonie."
He doesn't miss that you're using the past tense.
"I mean it, you know. I hope he makes you happy." He does mean it. He always wants you to be happy
"He's just my friend, Joonie. I would never-"
He closes his eyes against the tears burning behind his lids. He doesn't want to hear you lie to him to protect his feelings
"Yeah, ok. He's a big guy, he can protect you from the paparazzi at least."
There was plenty of photos of that, too, of Hyunwoo with one big arm around you, shielding you from the cameras
"Joon, don't-"
"I miss you," he cuts you off
"I miss you, too."
Neither of you hang up for a long time, just longing for everything to go back to the way it was
Jin
Tumblr media
Jin is absolutely not handling this well
He talks about you constantly, asking everyone for advice and boys get so tired of hearing your name jfc
Skips dance practice every other time to move around the house
Flips through your social media pics together several times a day and gets real emo
He's got a new phone and he makes your picture his lockscreen
Cannot stop drinking wine and reading articles with theories about you and your new boo
Gets tipsy and talks shit about Changkyun in troll accounts on YouTube he's that petty
Reads too many articles about Changkyun being a huge flirt and fuckboi and gets way too drunk because it makes him imagine how he is seducing you
Always on your social media acting like he doesn't give a fuck (he gives many fucks)
Likes your pictures of yourself out with Changkyun, comments 👍
Slides in your dms when he sees you're active even though he knows you'll ignore him
Won't say boo to the media just shrugs them off
Jin knows you're staying at your sister's
Everyday he tells himself not to go over there
Not to embarrass himself
But since he's gotten a new phone he can tell himself that's why you're not calling
He sits at the coffee shop by her house every morning, hoping to get a glimpse of you
When he does, of course you're with that idiot
Jin wants the ground to open up and swallow him
Luckily he's wearing a ball cap and face mask
He can hear your voice
"Thank you for being here for me through all this."
Jin watches Changkyun take your hand and he has a fantasy of breaking his fingers one by one
"Jin is an idiot for letting someone like you go, y/n."
Oh boy
So much for not embarrassing himself
Jin rips off his face mask and stalks over to the two of you
"I never let her go. You took her!" He growled, and you stand up and push him out the door to talk
Changkyun peeps his head out to ask if you're ok and it takes every bit of Jin's will not to lunge at him
"Oh will you fuck off?"
He does, and you're looking at him with your chin jutted out and he knows you're mad but he wants to kiss you so badly
"Jin, what the fuck are you doing?"
"Having coffee. Alone. Since my girlfriend left me for some kid. How about you?"
He can't help the bitterness of his words
"Well, I'm having coffee with a friend because my boyfriend fucked someone else on tour."
"Y/n, I did NOT fuck her, or anyone else for that matter."
You scoffed. "Save it, Jin. You all but told me when you were drunk dialing me last week."
"I was shitfaced! Hello! What about that picture you sent me that made me destroy my new phone?"
You shrug. "Maybe I was trying to have some fun."
Jin tugged at his hair as if he wanted to pull it out. "Fun. Fun, you say. I'm going crazy here and you're out having fun."
"Whatever. You're single now, do what you want. I am." You know you're being petty but you don't believe him, after all the pictures, all the articles, the way he had almost apologized for it
You turn to go and he grabs your wrist, pulling you to him, looking fiercely down into your eyes
"This is just a fight we're having, Jagi, yeah? It's just a fight just like the time you went to lunch with your high school boyfriend and i was an idiot and you spent a week with your parents?"
He sounds so uncertain, voice shaky, and you just want to stop this and let him hold you
"You're not really fucking him, are you?"
You pull out of his arms, annoyed
It's not like he actually cares
His pride is hurt, fragile male ego, while you're heartbroken
"It's not cheating. I'm single now, I can do what I want."
"Don't play with me, sweetheart," he warns, eyes flashing
"Or what, Mr. Worldwide Handsome? You'll fuck some idiot girl? Too late. I'm not worried about it. I'm not even thinking about it."
"Of course you aren't, you don't think of me at all, do you?"
He's angry again and you know you're being cruel but you're hurt and angry and you can't help it
"You're right. You think I imagine it's your hands on me instead of his? I don't. He's so good I never think of you." You spit out the words like venom and Jin reacts as if it were, flinching, hurt evident on his handsome face
You leave him there, standing shellshocked on the sidewalk
Yoongi (Suga)
Tumblr media
Yoongi feels better after a good night's rest that he finally gets the next night after Hobi makes him take an Ambien
Hobi is legitimately the only human on Earth that knows, Yoongi is confident you'll be back so he swears him to secrecy
Absolutely nothing changes on his social media just work stuff as usual you've changed your relationship status to single and that stings but he won't change his
Over the two years you'd been together of course you'd had spats
You had a flair for the dramatic, it was one of the things he loved you for
He was the quiet one and you were the social butterfly, outgoing and sweet, making up for what he lacked
You were right, after all, he had been distant, with the comeback album coming out in a month
He'd been neglecting you and you just needed some attention and for him to spoil you a bit
He sent two dozen pink roses to your best friend's house with a note reading "You know I love you, brat, so come back home, yeah?"
When you don't call him in 24 hours though, he gets worried
To get his mind off things he goes out for a few beers with Namjoon and Hobi
Afterward he finds himself walking to your best friend's house
He's surprised when you are the one answering the door
You're in a bathrobe with your hair in a messy bun like you do when you're applying makeup to go out
"I'm not ready yet, Chanyeol-" you say without looking and when you see Yoongi your breath catches in your throat
His eyes are puffy as if he's been crying or not sleeping, bleached hair messy
You look so beautiful that Yoongi wants to grab you and kiss you but your words are making doubt claw in his stomach
"Expecting someone else?"
He pushes past you before you can think and when he sees the bouquet of roses on the counter he thumbs one of the petals
You eye him warily
"Yoongi, are you drunk?"
"A little," he admits easily, looking you up and down. "I've been feeling pretty shitty since my girl walked out on me."
"Maybe you should've treated her better, then." You snap back
The corner of his mouth twitches. He loves it when you're sassy, but he feels uncertainty and jealousy rising in his chest
"Did you find someone to treat you better already, princess?" His voice is low, eyes flashing almost dangerously
It's kind of hot, really
But you're in shock at his accusation
"Wh.. what?"
"Chanyeol, was it? You must've met him while I was on tour. That's why you walked out over something so stupid, huh? Just an excuse." He reaches out to pluck another petal from the rose, and although his voice sounds eerily calm you can see his hand shaking
All of a sudden you're livid. After ignoring you for two weeks and calling you a brat via roses, he's really calling your concerns stupid and accusing you of cheating
"Get out." You say, voice shaking
He smirks at you bitterly. "Time for loverboy to show up? Aw, I wanted to stick around to see what the guy who's fucking my girl looks like."
His crude words pierce through you but before you can respond Chanyeol walks through the door unannounced.
"Hey, y/n, you ready?" He looks from you to Yoongi, bewildered
He takes a few steps toward you and then stops
Yoongi looks him over and then sets his jaw as if thinking for a moment
Then he lunges at the taller man, punching him square in the nose
You scream and try and yank Yoongi off of your best friend's live in boyfriend
He's already stopped, breathing hard
You go to Chanyeol who is gasping on the floor, blood all over the shirt he was wearing to take you and your bestie out since you were feeling sad
Yoongi looks down at you, looking miserable instead of angry
"What the fuck is wrong with you? Get out!" You scream, angry tears streaking down your face
Yoongi nods, and he goes, but not before he grabs the vase of roses with one hand and hurls it against the wall, glass shattering everywhere, making you scream out in surprise
He stomps out the door, stepping over Chanyeol as if he weren't there at all
Hoseok (J-Hope)
Tumblr media
Deals with it in the healthiest manner of all the boys even though he legit has no idea why you left
Lets himself be sad, doesn't drink too much, just maybe overworks himself a little
Social media isn't an issue since you've never posted anything but memes and an occasional silly selfie
He goes through all the pictures in his phone though and gets emo
Gives you space
Hobi gives you a few days before he tries to reach you again
He could sense that you needed some time
He was hoping that was all you needed and then you would come home and explain things
You'd always been wary of expressing your negative feelings, knowing that Hoseok was such a positive person
You always said you didn't want to bring him down or stress him out
He wishes you had talked to him more
Wishes you had known that whatever was happening, he'd be by your side to work things out
When he calls, some guy answers, and it's not your brother's voice so he's shocked for a moment
The guy says hello a couple of times before he responds
"Um, is this y/n's phone?"
That was a stupid question since he was the one who paid your phone bill, but he was shook
"Yes. She's lying down because she isn't feeling so well. Can I take a message?"
Hobi doesn't miss that you must have deleted his contact name and that stings
"Just tell her Hoseok called?"
"Sure, man."
He hangs up and drums his hands on his knees, full of anxious energy
He's trying real hard not to jump to any conclusions
He's trying to be grateful that you have someone looking out for you, but he's internally screaming
Thankfully you call him back within the hour, before he can lose his mind completely
Tears spring to his eyes the second he hears your voice saying his name
"Sunshine!" He exclaims.
You can't help but smile at his nickname for you, even though you felt a lot darker than sunshine lately
"Hey, Hobi."
"Sunshine, what's going on? Where are you?" His voice sounds thick like he's about to cry and you hate it
"Don't worry about me. I'm just fine. I'm being well taken care of."
He's very quiet, and that's so unusual for him that you feel like you need to explain
"Jackson answered the phone for me. You know, my buddy from college?"
"Buddy" was an interesting term for an old college boyfriend, but Hobi was so grateful to talk to you he didn't complain
He'd met him, anyway, several times, and you were sure it would be awkward since you and Jackson had broken up a literal week before you met Hoseok
But Hobi was so sweet and not even remotely the jealous type and they'd actually gone out for beer and chicken a few times without you before BTS started the world tour
They were both rappers of course so you were sure they'd have plenty to talk about (they talked about you, mostly)
You knew hearing that it was Jackson would put his mind at ease
It did not
As much as Hobi did like Jackson he could see the way he looked at you with longing in his eyes
But it didn't matter because you were finally talking to him
"Sunshine, why did you leave me?"
"Oh, it's a long story. I just needed to get away for a while."
"I could've gone with you. It looks like you've moved out though, babe, I just wish you'd talk to me. When are you coming home?"
The silence on the line makes him feel a thousand miles away from you
"I...I don't know if I am."
His voice was choked with tears when he spoke again
"But...but why not? What did I do?"
"Nothing! Nothing, baby, you're perfect. It's me. It's all me. I can't...I can't be what you want anymore."
"You're everything I want. You're my sunshine, you know that."
You sigh
"That's just it. I can't be your sunshine anymore. I just have to be me for a while."
"Do you think I've been putting too much pressure on you? I know I talked about flying you out on tour but I just missed you so much-"
"I think I just need to move on, Hoseok."
You using his first name, not baby, not Hobi, was a bit shocking
"Move on? What does that mean?"
He hears a racket in the background
"I gotta go, babe. I'll call you next week, okay?"
"Next week? Sunshine, wait-"
You had already hung up
Hobi burst into Jin's apartment without announcing himself, knowing he left the door unlocked when he was home
Jin stopped mid bite of ramen
"Hyung, I need to talk to you."
Jin sat down his chopsticks carefully. "You hungry?"
After he all but forced Hobi to eat a little ramen, Jin asked, "Is it about y/n?
"Yes," Hobi said, squirming in his chair
"She won't me what's wrong, only that she needs time and needs to move on."
Jin, bad at hiding his facial expressions, winced
Hobi's heart sank
"What is it?"
"I don't know, bubs, but the only times I've ever heard that from a girl it's been bad news."
"How bad?"
Jin winced again. "Look, Hobi, I really don't know. Y/n has been going through some stuff lately..."
"She has? You've talked to her?"
"She called me a couple of times crying while we were on tour."
"What?! Crying? You didn't tell me?" He's all but yelling
"She begged me not to! She didn't tell me much, just that she had been in a bad place and she didn't want to worry you. I thought I talked her down, but maybe something is going on we don't know about."
Hobi started to cry and Jin hugged his friend
"I just don't know why she felt like she couldn't tell me, hyung."
Jin didn't have any answers for him, could only rub his back and hope you came clean soon

assumption ask: reading your posts you give me the idea of being a serious and poised person but deep down i think you're a huge sweetie with a big heart who also wants to go wild bc you're tired of how ppl label and limit you with societal norms.
I, admittedly, sputtered a laugh at this, because I immediately mentally scrolled down my blog and saw so much nonsense that I had to wonder where you’d get serious and poised person impression! Though it does seem somehow universal take of me (serious part anyway), even if it last very briefly. In real life and online, too, I imagine.
I don’t know about sweet! Maybe some! But I am also a lot more angry and salty than I typically let on in general public. And maybe it’s because of societal norms, because my anxieties would never let me go off on a mean boss or customer without mental collapse afterward because fear over my job, but also because what if I’m being unfair? I have a temper and I know it definitely flares up at uncalled times. At people who didn’t deserve my flash of ire.
My wild, I think, would be daring to speak my mind more, not to wince every time I babble too fast and literally fuse words together or end up with a lag in my operating system and stutter-restart a word three times. Or my translator takes a break and I can suddenly only make sense in English when it’s not my native language. To be free of ‘what do they think of me and how it will affect my life’, that’d be lovely. The tiny judgements that come from every direction and you don’t know what you can share or can’t and with whom.
Otherwise, I do dress how I want for the most part, even if it does get picked on, it doesn’t really get to me. My hair wouldn’t withstand crazy dyes, so that’s not important to me. I still haven’t decided what tattoo I’d want and I have most of piercings I want and they’d be limited to my ears, anyway. So, on that self-expression part, I’m mostly covered.
But yes, I’d like to be rid of the way of people label me, too serious or too wacky or somehow even stuck up and haughty? I don’t know. It’s weird, man.
I think the wildest and freest I am when I have camera in my hand. I just don’t give a hoot who is looking at me when I am hanging upside down over back of bench for the right angle or scrambling up a hill, or whatever.
... Anyway, after today’s episode of Rainy can’t shut the fuck up, I want to say this was incredibly sweet and thank you for sending this in! I do think my poised impression certainly is not meant to last, but that you’d think of me as sweet is honestly best I could wish for. (Other than knowing I truly, genuinely am.)
Tell me what you assume about me, based on my tumblr?

Ramble in whatever form you choose. I won’t be able to be active all the time so if you want to be able to do it whenever you want I’d say text posts but I’ll also try to occasionally ask you about them so there’s some variety
!!! okay! well i think i’ll choose a couple from the list that i haven’t made many posts about before (aka no ts or go) and ramble on here!
oof under the cut bc idk how long this will get
steven universe
oh hon don’t even get me STARTED on su like that shit? that shit is so good? okay first of all i love the cast so much? gosh they’re just all so sweet and cool and sometimes they collab w/ thomas sanders and i love rebecca sugar and im gonna cry they’re so sweet im so soft
okay SECONDLY the show itself oof
okay okay im just? god im so soft?? like the music is so good, i can (and do) watch it w/ my parents, GOD do i wanna cosplay pearl’s new outfit (and rainbow 2.0, if i can pull it off), im in love with the concept and all the fusions and the story and the worldbuilding and god, this made me realize my utter love and adoration of COLOURS like they’re so PRETTY im in LOVE oh my gOD and just
god it has such a good message and such a good plot and such good characters i wanna be steven’s friend i wanna be all of their friends oh man i just can’t wait until my baby cousins are old enough for me to show this to them because i’m going to enjoy that experience so much
ducktales
oh jfc where the fuck do i even start with ducktales okay david tennant as scrooge mcduck makes my fucking life literally he’sthe best goddamn charaacter in the show – well, best besides the triplets (my BOYS), webby (!!! my KID), f e n t o n (god i love that nerd), mark beaks (what an asshole), mrs beakley (i wanna be her when i grow up), launchpad (!!! he!!), and so many others??? this is like serious every character in the show erasure but hot damn duck tales says gay rights and it does so in style (oh yeah also i love lena della donald oh webby’s new friend whose name i forget uhhh herules oh the inventor guy fenton’s boss that dipshit love him uhhh gandra dee who’s voiced by jameela jamil if im not mistaken??????) and yeah it’s a hilarious show but it’s also just a really good one for me to watch whenever i start to like. feel empty inside?? but then like i’ll put on ducktales and i’ll feel better
gravity falls
this show. this show RUINED ME. i started watching it like four years late (aka last year lmao) but GOD, im so in love with it. def another one i wanna show my cousins.
like?? just??? the ciphers and mysteries appeal so much to me and my love of mystery and crime novels, the characters are all amazing, alex hirsch himself is just such a g?? and like. it’s so good. it hurts me so much but then it’s all okay in the end and it’s just. it’s so good.
yeah i sobbed my eyes out when i watched that series finale.
camp camp, which somehow i forgot on my other list
god, is this show hilarious. like, fuck is it funny. it’s so good. it’s so fucking good. i was a little shocked when i saw the first episode but i’m so into it now, and i’m so attatched to all the characters bc they’re just dumbasses trying their best (or worst, in a few cases) and i love them for it. that’s peak fool energy right there and it speaks to me
orphan black
okay okay okay veering now into a much darker type of television, orphan black is??? phenominal???
okay so my best friend @fuck-me-gently-with-a-slurpee got me into it when i was like 14 or 15 i think and i honestly cannot thank her enough because this show is incredible. the plot’s super engaging, i literally cannot say anything about it without giving away spoilers, and the main character has quite possibly the best actor i’ve ever seen playing her
like. you think thomas sanders is good? he ain’t got SHIT on tatianna maslany
mythbusters
you guys. you guys. mythbusters was my childhood. like seriously, i watched that show religiously.
it’s what first got me into science, and it’s what kept me interested in explosions. it’s light and funny and ridiculous and scientifically accurate in the dumbest ways possible. i swear to god the main cast nearly dies once an episode
these guys are my idols. like, i seriously cannot overstate how much i love the mythbusters. adam and jamie, tori, kari, and grant.
when i was a kid, i wanted to be a mythbuster when i grew up, and god damnit, i still do. they mean that much to me
bill nye
fun fact! i actually had no fuckin clue who bill nye was until seventh grade, when i had to watch an episode of his show for homework because i missed a day of class. it was the episode on static electricity, and i remember sitting at my dining room table in the dim winter afternoon light, squinting at my computer, and thinking “what the FUCK am i WATCHING?”
needless to say, i’ve seen more since then, but that initial what the fuckery is still present and i love it.
not only is bill nye the science guy a flippin fantstic show, but bill nye himself? the coolest guy alive. god, i love him. what a g.
various comedians including but not limited to john mulaney,john oliver, and hasan minhaj
okay, as a gay, i am legally required to love john mulaney, but seriously that guy is so. fuckin. funny that i can’t help myself. his timing is priceless, the way he moves onstage is hysterical, just. god i love his stuff.
literally his comedic timing and style is half the reason people find me funny. i just phrase my sentences the way he would because, you know, i’m good at stealing things, and people laugh, and i go “hey. that actually worked”. and then i keep doing it
next, john oliver. okay, so while i don’t watch his show religiously, i do watch it when my parents do every now and again, and fuck is his stuff funny. like. just. shit.
finally, hasan minhaj’s patriot act is just. one of my favourite current events comedy shows out there. it’s in a similar vein to john oliver’s stuff, just more international, and shit, is he good at what he does. i lvoe it.
hoodwinked the movie (i am dead serious)
okay, while i haven’t seen it in over four years, this is still my favourite movie of all time. it also has one of my favourite villain songs of all times, and some of the best character exchanges just. ever. especially with wolf and twitchy
...god, i love twitchy. also the goat. i’m probably gonna be the goat when i grow up, let’s be honest
one day at a time
i just.
there’s so much to say about odaat. like. it’s so funny. it makes me nearly cry every episode (and makes my mother actually cry every episode). the characters, god, the characters
like. alex is such a cute dumb kid (who’s smarter than he looks), penelope is so salty constantly and i love her but she’s genuinely so cool and such a good mom and i cry??? elena is so amazing like god she’s such a fuckin nerd but she’s also so salty (takes after her mom) and is literally the best????
and then there’s abuelita, whom i adore. like, god, rita moreno is SO cool and SUCH a great actress and has SUCH an amazing sense of comedic timing and GOD, i LOVE HER
can’t forget about syd and doc berkowitz, which like. okay first off the good doc. just. god i love the doc. he’s so sweet and such a genuinely good dude and he’s a bit of a coward at heart but that’s okay because he genuinely cares and does his best and god he’s just such an amazing character im !!!!! and then syd is such a dork and i love them and elena and god, it made me so happy to see not only an actual enby character on a big sitcom, but also just?? like??? it’s not forced but it’s still there??? like there’s one episode where one of the plots is just syd and elena trying to figure out what elena should call them, since neither of them are comfy using “girlfriend” for syd since they’re not a girl, and they finally agree on “significant other” and schneider imMEDIATELY says “dont you mean, SYDnificant other?” and then they use that for the REST OF THE SHOW IT”S SO CUTE OKAY
and finally, schneider. he might be my favourite character in the entire show (which is a damn hard list to pick from!!!), but he’s just. he’s so sweet, he and penelope have one of the absolute best male/female friendships i’ve ever seen (which! never! turns! romantic! ever!!!), he’s actually got surprising depths but he’s also like such a nice goofball that when they get revealed, it hurts, and he’s just this canadian dumbass (heyyyyy repreSENT) with the worst goddamn canadian accent sometimes and he’s a hipster and The Dumb Friend and the weird uncle all rolled into one and GOD, i love him so much
the good place and brooklyn 99
okay, i love these two both so, so much, but i’m lumping them together because a) they’re both mike schur shows with a similar sense of humour, that say gay rights, and with characters who’d definitely love each other if they met and b) my hand is getting tired from all this typing but i still have so much  love to go around!!!!
okay so so SO! they’re both so good. they’re so fucking funny and amazing and i was immediately hooked on both of their pilots. their characters are all so genuine and flawed and fucking hysterical to watch, and the ships and friendships are all so amazing and pure and good and soft and they have their problems and they WORK THEM OUT HEALTHILY AND IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY OKAY!!!
god, i literally cannot overstate how much i adore these two shows. mike schur, you’re a wonderful, wonderful dude. thank you so much
many musicals (top faves include BOM, hamilton, legally blonde, chicago, matilda, and more!)
i’m putting the musicals together because while i do adore each and every one of them individually, i also just have great big deep-seated love of the art of musical theatre itself in general, ya feel?
like, as someone who’s been both performing and viewing them from a very young age, the sheer sense of utter joy they bring is almost unparalleled
not to be That Bitch who quotes musicals, but “and that hop in our hearts as the overture starts lets us know how lucky we are” might be the closest i’ve ever gotten to finding words to fit the feeling when the lights go down and the show begins. it’s simply phenomenal
the others series by anne bishop
okay, OKAY, if you haven’t read this series (first book called written in red – they have terrible titles but god, they’re worth it), then what are you doing with your life? like, not only is there the perfect logicality au to them (just sayin’), but god, it’s such an incredible series
the worldbbuilding is so cool and the characters are all great and god the ships are the damn hill i die on it’s got literally such a good “sort of enemies mostly just dislike each other to reluctant acquaintances to friends to lovers” ship and it deals with some serious issues rlly well and it’s got baby puppies!!!
like, they’re wolf puppies, but still, they are b a b e y
and finally (for now, at least), the mysterious benedict society, by trenton lee stewart
this book series was my childhood. i mean, there are so many other books i could be talking about right now that i utterly adore (the artemis fowl series springs to mind), but gosh, MBS just brings me such absolute joy to read that i just had to have it on here.
i’m not thinking straight at this point in the evening, but i just wanna say that i will never, not ever forget about reynie. about kate. about sticky. about constance. about rhonda and number two and milligan and miss perumal and my absolute son sq pedalian and, of course, i will never, never forget about mr benedict
it’s bright, and it’s bittersweet, and it’s beautiful.
and it’s good. simply, utterly, wonderfully good.
thank you for the ask, anon.
thank you.

40 Things You Never Wanted To Know About Me
You probably already know me decently well or else you wouldn’t be reading this, so instead of rehashing the basic (boring) “getting to know me” questions I dug a little deeper and asked myself about what’s really important. Here is the result: 40 Things You Never Wanted To Know About Me. Enjoy!
1. What Parks and Rec character am I?
While I could argue for almost everyone on the show I’m probably most like Ben Wyatt: a white, brunette, and sad man who eats soup alone on a park bench (minus his love of math and rollerskate kink)
2: Top 5 books?
To Kill a Mockingbird, The Secret History, A Prayer for Owen Meany, The Help, 11/22/63
3: Top 5 movies?
Chinatown, Star Wars, Rear Window, National Treasure (nick cage can be good in small doses ok) and Nancy Drew (2007)
4: Top 5 shows?
Parks and Rec, B99, That 70′s Show, Mad Men, Arrested Development
5: Top 10 most iconic vines?
1) Chris is that a weed/Mary is that a police
2) Hi My Name is Trey I have A Basketball Game Tomorrow
3) Rebecca It’s Not What You Think
4) The one where the girl is just hitting elmo with a baseball bat
5) Anything Kermit but esp. the one where he falls off the building
6) You Know This Boy Got His Free Taco
7) 2 Bros Chillin in the Hot Tub
8) Waelcom to my Keeetchen we have bananis and avocadis
9) Whoever Threw That Paper Your Mom’s A Hoe
10) i spilled lipstick in your valentino bag (yOU SPILLED WHAHULAUG LIPSTICK IN MY VALENTINE WHITE BAG)
6: Where do I see myself in 21 years?
One of my dreams in life is to marry the heir to a prestigious winery out in wine country. I have a vision of myself at 39, waking up at 10 AM on a tuesday and standing on my private balcony in my state-of-the-art spanish stucco villa. i am drinking a chardonnay despite the early hour whilst i observe my grape empire in my silk negligee. the only event planned for the day is a portrait sitting for my rottweilers (4 of them), for which i have arranged spaces in the family’s private art gallery. i am aging well despite the harsh california sun and my partner and i have a trip to tuscany planned for the fall. it’s a charmed life and i never tire of eating grapes  
7: Top 5 favorite cryptids
1) Nessie (Nessie is a true lady I believe in her)
2) Mothman (not real)/ el chupacabra (possibly real)
3) the kraken (definitely real)
4) Bigfoot (not real but a legend anyways)
5) the yeti (real only in russia)
8: Do I Believe in Ghosts
It’s a complicated topic and of course we will likely never know for sure but the short answer is yes. in my opinion though, what ghosts are is the important question: are they really the dead coming back to haunt the earth? are they just manifestations of energy that the mind interprets into recognizable shapes? hallucinations? or is it wish fulfillment and the reduction of tensions on a heavy conscience? our brains are capable of powerful things, but it begs the question as to whether if a human desperately wants something to be true does the human mind have the power to make it true? c. s. lewis mentioned once that he never understood the ghost debate since, given that ghosts are real, they have no real power over us or anything interesting to say. but i believe that just goes to show how the mystery is far often more important than the solution.
9: Best/Worst Month of the Year
Best: May/November (spring/fall in full swing, holidays, time off school, great atmosphere) Worst: August (too dang hot & start of school)
10: What is one of my embarrassing secrets
I didn’t learn how to tie my shoes until I was nine (velcro ftw)
11: What is my Dream Date
We go cryptid hunting in the woods and have a picnic in the dark; you supply dogs for entertainment and guardianship purposes, i supply drinks and the cryptozoological myths we are chasing. Afterwards we get gelato
12: Top 3 Presidents
(this is based solely on arbitrary opinion not policies) 1) Barry Obama 2) Lincoln  3) Millard Fillmore (his name is funny) 
Honorable mention: jimmy carter (he was the only noncorrupt man in office for like 30 years before barry)
13: Top 3 Vice Presidents
1) John Adams, if nothing else but for the drama this man caused 2) Walter Mondale 3) the big boy JB 
Honorable Mention: Nichard Rixon
14: Top 3 Secretaries of State
1) Madeline Albright 2) Henry Clay 3) Elihu P. Washburn 
(note: secretaries of state have the funniest names, like Hamilton Fish (1869-1877) rest easy Mr. Fish)
15: Worst Activity they make you do in middle school PE
Middle school P.E. is the worst in general but I’m going to say either grading you on your shotput skills (?) or BMI (??) or just the tuesday run in general (luther kids know)
16: Top 4 Worst Scents
1) Washing a knife covered in peanut butter 2) Really cheap perfume that they sell in checkout lines at convenience stores 3) Olives 4) organic deodorant
17: Top 7 Conspiracy Theories
1) The Denver Airport is an underground military fallout shelter designed to protect the 1% from nuclear warfare
2) A Roman pope adjusted the Gregorian calendar so that his reign would fall on 1000 AD so we’re actually living in the year 1783
3) Paul McCartney is dead and was replaced prior to the Seargant Pepper album by a lookalike named Billy Shears
4) The state of Wyoming is a myth
5) Avril Lavigne died and was replaced back in the early 00’s
6) The Titanic sank because too many people went back in time to prevent it from sinking
7) Not to be cliche George Bush and the military-industrial complex orchestrated the 9/11 attacks (jet fuel can’t melt steel beams and all that)
18: Inside jokes with myself
I’m not usually a “gamer” but every year without fail someone introduces me to a game exactly at finals time and I get hooked and it ruins my gpa and study habits. This year it’s Stardew Valley, last year it was Dream Daddy and the year before that it was undertale and I blame Jojo for absolutely all of it bc they are usually the instigator. Anyway, every year I joke with myself about what game will derail my grades this year
19: Top 5 Worst Tactile Sensations
1) Putting tights or leggings on wet, hairy legs post-shower
2) Running fingernails along cardboard
3) Sweating in a turtleneck
4) Having wet, salty hair after swimming that drips down onto your back and makes the top of your shirt damp
5) Reaching into a bag of grapes and only finding really soft, slimy ones
20: Best Cat I’ve ever encountered
One time my friend and I were leaving Romancing the Bean and walking back to her car and the fattest, fluffiest, softest ginger cat I’ve ever seen came trotting up to us and flopped over at our feet. He was such a good boy!!! And so friendly with strangers!! He was very well groomed and just wanted some love, and whenever we stopped petting him he would jump up onto our legs and leave little wet paw prints everywhere, I wanted to kidnap him
21: Best dog I’ve ever encountered
All of them
22: Best squirrel I’ve ever encountered
My dad has befriended a squirrel named Nutty that likes to sneak into his office when the door’s open and steals peanuts. if the door is closed he’ll bang on it and scream until we acknowledge him
23: If I were a furry what would my fursona be
I do not know because I am not a furry. HOWEVER someone who is well-versed in furry matters told me once that I would be one of those long, nervous dogs like a greyhound maybe and tbh I could see it
24: Favorite/Least Favorite Disneyland Rides
My favorite has always been haunted mansion, except for the halloween season when it’s nightmare before christmas and then it’s thunder mountain. I just love the outside atmosphere of the house bc I’m a slut for that southern gothic architecture style. Worst is splash mountain because there’s no seatbelt and LOGICALLY i know I don’t need one but it doesn’t stop me from having a panic attack every time I get on and we go up the big hill as I worry about being flung from the toboggan across the park
25: Least favorite restaurant within 10 mile radius of my house
I live over by Porto’s so I am #blessed to be surrounded by some really dope food. However there is a hipster place a couple of blocks over in Toluca Lake that only serves bizarre food like fried chicken in maple syrup with waffle fries and it’s surprisingly bland, so the lack of taste combines with how expensive it is probably makes it the worst (it’s also forgettable bc I can’t even remember its name)
26: Rank of JBHS history department according to how good of a parent they would be
9.Mr. Bixler - I have never had this man so I can’t say shit. NA/10
8. Ms. Snowden - I’ve never had her either but I’ve heard enough about her between Burroughs and Luther to know that this woman is kind of scary, intimidating and uptight, all things I personally do not desire in a parent. 2/10
7. Mr. Hatch - I love Scott Hatch but he is a tremendous mess of a man. Judging by his wife’s instagram photos his idea of parenting is taking naps while cuddling his children and letting his wife do the rest of the hard work. Plus he seems like the type to be too wrapped up in his own melodrama and too busy hangin out with his best friend Edward Frankenbush playing Xbox to pay much attention to his kids. However, he did skip the first day of school to take his daughter to kindergarten so he gets points for that. 4/10
6. Mr. Lee - Mr. Lee is a very respectable guy who seems like he does a very good job providing for his family. He’s ranked as middle of the road because he’s a naturally private person so I can’t speak to his parenting tactics or personality much, however the few stories he shared about his daughter were very cute and he does the typical teacher/parent things like making her his screensaver on his computer. Overall, a very quality dad and man, 6.5/10
5. Mr. Fitz - Kyle Fitzgerald is similarly a mess of a man, but the difference between him and Scott Hatch is that he seems to make an investment in his kid. He always talks about current events in terms of what idiocy his poor daughter will have to put up with which shows his devotion to her well-being and survival in a confusing world. Also he brought her in to go swimming once while I was working at Verdugo and I got to see them having a great time on the splash pad and it warmed my heart. Great dad 7/10
4. Mr. Piper - Richard Piper is such a good father but in a detached way. He loves talking about his son and wife just as much as he loves talking about planes. The real kicker? When he talks about taking his son ON planes and geeking out over history together. He also asked all of his classes for people looking for tutoring work when his son was struggling in math which is so cute. Good guy Rick gets an 8/10.
2. (tie) Mr. Frankenbush and Ms. Hacker - Ed and Jan are both beautiful people. I know Ms. Hacker is #divisive but I personally am a big fan and would die to have her guidance in my daily life. She’s always interested in what’s going on in people’s lives and sure she’s definitely chaotic but it’s a loving chaos that’s only looking to help other people. I’ve not had the pleasure of having Mr. Frankenbush but he always is hanging out with his son Joey and they love coming to the Burroughs pool and playing water polo together; they spend a lot of time together since his wife works so much and they have such a buddy friendship. Both of these lovely people are super devoted and invested in the youth and would make great parents. 9/10
1. Mr. Clark - A god. We don’t deserve this man and I can’t sing his praises enough. Were were all lucky enough to be Greg’s children I don’t think evil would exist in the world. 11/10
27: Worst book I read for school
Hands down Tale of Two Cities since it’s the only one I’ve never finished. Dickens just doesn’t do it for me I guess plus I get really tired of the one dimensional characters and how much he romanticizes Lucy
28: Favorite little-known tidbit of history
When Richard Nixon went to Soviet Russia as Eisenhower’s VP during the cold war his secret service agents detected higher than usual amounts of radiation coming from Nixon’s hotel room, so they started talking loudly about it bc they knew the Soviets had planted buds and were listening. Within like an hour the radiation had vanished and they never heard anything about it again so man Soviet’s ain’t sly
29: 5 Places in Burbank That Are Definitely Haunted
1. Coral Cafe for obvious reasons, look up the ghost on youtube
2. The View seems like it would have some kind of el chupacabra-esque creature prowling around, maybe a mountain lion hybrid
3. Fry’s Electronics
4. The abandoned train station under the bridge
5. The LA river by the equestrian center
30: Rank of all the AP classes i took in order of entertainment value
9) AP Bio: I liked bio but the class wasn’t very entertaining. There’s not a lot of humor in bacteria and cells, and Mr. Van Loo is much more of a calming than a humorous and chaotic presence, so overall it takes the hit as the least entertaining class.
8) AP Stats: Math is similarly not very entertaining, but Mrs. Hollingshed’s erratic personality gives it the edge over Bio. Definitely more humorous than expected of a math class.
7) AP Econ: I bombed econ and business/money isn’t very entertaining but Jan Hacker made it so thanks to her chaos (love her though).
6) AP Euro: European history is incredibly iconic because, spoiler alert, Europeans are idiots and historically speaking everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. I just wish I remember it since I think idiot sophomore Lily slept through most of the class so needless to say I didn’t soak up much of the entertainment value. If it were up to me I’d take it over again and maybe stay awake this time.
5) AP Lit: Lit was just as much challenging and intimidating as it was entertaining, so it balances out. Mrs. Caluya is notably iconic and the books we read were all pretty interesting so it gets a high vote from me.
3) (tie) Gov/APUSH: History is always entertaining in my eyes since people do stupid things out of pettiness. These two tie for different reasons: Mr. Piper is a great teacher and that mock trial we did for the industrial age was great, but the subject was also extremely entertaining overall. I loved reading about how John Adams made making fun of him illegal. Gov was mostly just entertaining because of Mr. Hatch and how salty his is about the government. His sarcastic comments about how corrupt everything is gave life to an otherwise pretty lifeless subject.
2) AP Lang: aka the class with no curriculum, or the Kuglen Hour. I love Mr. Kuglen so much and he is responsible for 99% of the amusement in the class. I somehow learned how to be a better writer by listening to him complain about Trump and everything else under the sun for an hour every day so it was well worth it. Also who doesn’t like a class where you read Dave Sedaris for homework?
1) AP Psych: Without question, this is the epitome of entertainment. Psychology is just a mishmash of people trying to figure out why humans are as stupid as we are and why we do dumb things. Add in all the iconic psychologists and history and a class led by salty Mr. Hatch and you have a recipe for an entertaining year.
31: Top 5 Iconic JBHS teachers that I NEVER had (no particular order)
Mr. Peebles: A quirky man who I would have loved were I any good at math whatsoever
Mr. Arakelian: Band kids hate him but the stories I hear are so frickin iconic that I wish I could be an honorary band kid for a day and see the horror firsthand. If you have Arakelian stories please send them my way I’d love to hear about your pain
Mr. Frankenbush: A sad boi who everyone should get to experience and I regret never having.
Dr. Madooglu: He was so kind to me after the failed anti-trump lunchtime protest last year and he didn’t even know me. I wish I could’ve experienced him as a teacher.
Mr. Clark: The man, the myth, the legend
32: List of some iconic swim horror stories
Charlie breaking his hand after he lost a race and punched the gutter as hard as he could
Some idiot JV boys smearing poop all over the Burbank High locker room
The entire JV team getting Burroughs swim banned from Islands
Me almost passing out at the Los Amigos meet last year after I didn’t eat or sleep all day
Everyone always feigning illness or injury to get out of swimming the 4x100 relay
Getting in trouble for watching boys volleyball practice instead of doing the weight room sets
Every. Single. 5AM morning practice before school.
When coach martin finally figured out how periods work and suddenly we couldn’t use that as an excuse for not swimming anymore
33: What Office Character Would I Be
A mix between Angela, Oscar, and Kelly (we love our dramatic icons)
34: #1 Thing I’d Bring With Me to a Desert Island
Castaway for instructional purposes
35: What Would I call my memoir
Schadenfreude
36: 7 Best Buzzfeed Unsolved Episodes (no particular order)
This is one of my favorite shows so these are my recommendations:
1. 3 Horrifying Cases of Ghosts and Demons - one of the very first and best episodes; a 45-minute special where the Boys investigate the Winchester house in San Francisco, the Island of the Dolls in Mexico, and the Sallie House in Kansas
2. The Strange Disappearance of D. B. Cooper - A man going by the name of Dan Cooper hijacked a plane, demanded money and passage to Mexico, and then at some point jumped out of the plane and was never seen again. To this day no one knows his identity or his fate despite some of the ransom money turning up in a river somewhere.
3. The Haunted Halls of Waverly Hills Hospital - Ryan and Shane explore an abandoned asylum in Pennsylvania and some creepy stuff ensues. One of the best supernatural episodes
4. The Thrilling Gardner Museum Heist - An almost hilarious story (with reenactments!) about a seriously inept security guard and the loss of some of the world’s most beloved paintings. This was one of the first episodes after they started making money and the production quality is off the charts 
5. The Scandalous Murder of William Desmond Taylor - Another excellent reenactment story about one of Hollywood’s first and biggest scandals, the suspicious murder of a leading film producer.
6. The Enigmatic Death of the Isdal Woman - A woman’s body was found suspiciously burned in the European wilderness and no one knows who she is or how exactly she was killed. Watch if you like espionage!
7. The Strange Killing of Ken Rex McElroy - An entire town seemingly rose up to murder a douchey, violent pedophile. One of the only episodes that’s actually happy?
37: 6 Things I would Have Changed About High School
1. Definitely would have joined yearbook as soon as I could
2. Wouldn’t have forced myself to swim for all 4 years; if the passion’s gone then you shouldn’t force it. It’s just a sign that you need to move on to better things
3. I would’ve taken more AP’s and maybe tried another stem ap class. I’ve always been self-conscious about how bad I am at math, but I’ve gotten a little better over the years and instead of being too afraid to challenge myself I would’ve liked to see how I could do and prove myself.
4. Worrying less about grades!! I killed myself over my grades for like three years and then I just kind of let myself go. I would have let myself have who knows how many more hours of sleep and taken the L on a couple of assignments; I’m still learning that my health is more important than perfection.
5. Meeting the right people! I wouldn’t have restricted myself to a few friends and would have branched out more by joinng stuff like JSA. It sucks meeting the right people your senior year and realizing that I was hanging out with the wrong people this whole time.
6. Spanish instead of French.
38: What Would I Name My Farm Animals if I had A Farm
I’d definitely name them all after female Shakespearian characters. My cows would be Hippolyta and Titania from Midsummer, my horse would be Desdemona from Othello, my chickens would be Gonereil, Regan, and Cordelia from King Lear and my goat would be named Gertrude from Hamlet
39: Most Useless Talent I Have
I have a really strong internal clock so when I don’t think about it too hard and guess intuitively I can usually predict how much time has passed/what time it is without looking at a clock. It’s really only useful for estimating how much time I wasted standing in the shower staring at the wall
40: Top Regret After Writing This:
Writing this instead of studying for my econ test in seven hours.
Thanks for reading!

Note
All for danny
What was your first time with your f/o like?
Oddly emotional, and desperate on both ends. I focus a lot on the build up of the relationship and by the time we get it on he's like stupid in love and of course I feel the same
It starts with me getting a little exploratory with his body. It's our first trial together and the first time we really see eachother, so we both kinda lose ourselves in the moment uwu
How often do you and your f/o have sex?
At first it's constant. It calms down a lot later, when we feel secure with eachother
Which is good bc that post relationship excitement leads right into the both of us being VERY tired and we will cuddle. Sometimes the cuddles lead to sleepy sex
Is the sex between you and your f/o usually sensual? Passionate? Animalistic?
Never rly animalistic. Passionate at first which simmers down into a nice sensual :3c
How messy is the sex, or do you and your f/o try to keep it as clean as possible?
Try to keep it clean !
Do you and your f/o prefer having sex in the dark or with the lights open?
I'll say low light, it's soft and nice. Probably colour lights too. He'd want cool pictures
What was the most embarrassing thing to happen between you and your f/o before, during, and/or after sex?
Uhh dunno haven't thought about it
Any favourite positions?
He's very visual so I assume he prefers positions where he gets a good view, but I'm more what is most "effective "
Any kinks and/or fetishes?
Oh boy. Yeah. Phone sex for Danny of course. Shared kinks ? Sound, public, bondage, knifeplay ect ect
Any erogenous zones?
For Danny, ears and neck !
Condom or bareback?
Bareback in the Entity's realm bc no chance of pregnancy
Condom irl bc you know. Chance of pregnancy asdfghjkl
Your favourite body part of your f/o? Their favourite part of yours?
Hands lmfao
I think Danny would have a thing for hips tbh, I think he'd like putting his hands on the sides of my waist/hips
Who’s usually the one taking the lead?
Me. Especially at first, when he's still feeling insecure about letting himself let someone close
What’s something that usually gets your f/o in the mood?
Whispering in his ear, thoughtless caressing, pet names
Do you prefer pleasuring your f/o or having them pleasure you?
I'm a service top so I am definitely pleasuring him, but I dont mind the other way around
Does your f/o prefer slow and sweet lovemaking or fast and hard fucking?
Depends on the moment I guess. Heat of the moment, fast and rough. When it's calm it's probably going to be sweet !
Does your f/o keep their eyes locked with you the whole time, or do they look away in embarrassment?
Embarrassment at first. After the first few times, he's definitely going to watch
What’s the foreplay like? How quick is it to get both of your clothes off?
Lots of foreplay. I see him taking his sweet time playing with me, and vice versa, as we are both the types to enjoy sounds and such. We'll pull as much out of each other as we can
Does your f/o tease you, or do you tease them, if there is any? How do you/they handle it?
There is lots of teasing between us. I whine more, but he begs more
How good is your f/o at oral? How do they use their lips and tongue to pleasure you?
What that mouth, do you ask?
He's really fucking good at it, it'd say it's his favourite because he's in complete control down there and he wants to make me squirm
He's really gentle about it, no rough. Honestly he's going to be down there for hours if he really gets into the teasing. Not that I mind
Basically, he wants to drive me to the edge and keep me there until I can't even think and that's beautiful
How does your f/o taste?
Like..... his cum ? His skin? Mouth?
His cum tastes like cum, I guess. A bit salty. He is pretty healthy tho, so I'm going to say he tastes a lot better than ur average man
His skin is a little salty. He's in this black robe chasing people. It happens. Outside of trials, tho, just plain, clean skin. He's hygienic imo
If we're gonna get poetic about what his mouth tastes like, it tastes like fruit smoothie
Idk it just feels right. I see him as a smoothie man if not protein shake
Is there any dirty talk? If so, how dirty? What about pet names and/or derogatory names?
YES. It's absolutely filthy and I love it
Though he doesn't go into derogatory territory, I don't mind him teasing a bit about how riled up he can make me !
He's vocal in bed and it's like 🙏
Usually the dirty talk is forcing me to tell him how good it feels and making me tell him how I want it
How good is your f/o with their hands/fingers?
He's got wandering hands syndrome, he's grabbing and rubbing and squeezing as a way to tease
I love it
As for internal stuff, I don't think either of us are as into fingering for myself so it's not really an issue how good he is that way :3c
How loud is your f/o? Do they moan/whine/whimper? Do they curse? Do they call your name like it’s the only thing they know?
SO loud, he curses when something feels especially good. He'll moan while talking and it's really fucking hot okay !!!
When he's getting closer, even if it's going to be another minute or so, he does start calling my name softly. It gets louder the closer he gets
Do you and your f/o hold hands while making love? How tightly do they hold onto you?
He does 🥺 🥺 🥺 the grip starts rly sweet and loose but the more it goes on he holds onto me a little tighter
What’s your f/o’s stamina like? Do they last long or finish quickly? Can they go for multiple rounds?
His stamina is amazing but he needs a break between sessions ówò just some cuddle time while he recovers. Maybe a snack and water
I think the way he has sex tires him out bc of how intense he goes and the long sex is exhausting !
Is there anything that can make your f/o cum every single time?
He's into choking on himself, so if you start to choke him during he is like. Instantly going to get close. Which, added bonus to me, seeing him looking at me with hearts in his eyes w my fingers around his neck
How wrecked/spent does your f/o look by the time the two of you are done? Do they have a dazed look on their face? Completely disheveled hair? Chest heaving for breath?
Oh ho ho he is exhausted afterwards. He but little baby putty in my hands when I'm done w him. Which is wonderful bc I'm always baby putty and want love so it's just adorable
What’s the aftercare like, if there is any?
Depends who is more spent.
If he's the one who did most of the work and is a breathless mess, I get him a drink and snack and praise him on how good he was and how much I love him
If I'm the one more spent, he instantly will kiss and hold me. Tell me he thinks I was just the cutest and maybe tease me if he gets me to scream which. I have no doubt. Kiss on the forehead and asking if I need anything

Name: Tatiana!
Nicknames: Bean, Tatia, Tati, TT, Bug, I had one friend that called me Tater Tot hahaha
Zodiac Sign: Virgo
Height: 5′7″ (actually 5′7&3/4″ but Mom says the 3/4″ don’t actually count (I think she just likes being able to say she is taller than me bc she is 5′8″) and I’m salty)
Ethnicity: I’m going to say Alaskan. Not Alaska Native but Alaskan. I would say American, but I feel that Alaskans are kinda removed from a lot of the typical American stereotypes and drama that can be found in the Lower 48 so... Alaskan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Favorite fruit: Asian pears. (I call them apple pears or crunchy pears because they are crunchy like apples and kinda look like them too :) )
Favorite Season: Fall/Autumn! (I wish we would get to experience a true fall but I live in Alaska and we have Winter, Break-up, Summer, and like this tiny little blip of Fall that lasts maybe a month if we’re lucky :/)
Favorite Book: The entire Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan (the first series though. the others are good but the first five books are my absolute favorites)
Favorite Flower: I really like gardenias. My grandma has some in her garden and they smell so lovely
Favorite Scent: Trees, fresh forest air, the crisp smell of mountain air in the morning, and a scent that I can only describe as Alaska
Favorite Animal: I really like frogs :D
Coffee, tea or hot cocoa: Tea and hot cocoa
Cat or dog person: oh man this one is super hard. I’m gonna have to go with cat because they are lower maintenance and more independent

Aesthetic: Mine in general or my blog’s? Bc if it’s my blog’s there is no aesthetic it is an eclectic mix of everything and most likely an eyesore, sorry. I think a moodboard of my own personal aesthetic would include pictures of oversized sweatshirts, cold hands clutching a warm mug, tired bags under eyes hidden by the shadows made from glasses, missed deadlines, a screenshot of the ao3 header with the time 02:00 displayed above it, a pile of half-read books, a sleeping body curled up under literally 10 blankets, a group of friends sitting in a circle around a campfire at dusk with a calm lake visible behind them, and read but unreplied and forgotten messages. (WOW some of those got very specific)
Favorite band/artist: Jared & the Mill! I love their music, and Jared is actually my cousin (I haven’t seen him since I was a baby though)! They’re making quite a name for themselves and I am honestly so proud of them :)))

Salzburg, Austria...
The hills are alive, with the sound of ... something!
I actually do not like that movie...so it's relevance to Salzburg is lost on me! What I do like, is this city! I love where I'm staying, I've loved exploring, I've loved their markets, and their food! I even somehow managed to a) find a post office and b) post a package of stuff even with suffering from bad German today!
Salzburg literally means salt castle, nothing salty here though! It's the 4th largest city of Austria, and the capital of the Salzburg region. It's also the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Christian Doppler (The Doppler effect principle.) The first settlements in this location date back to, wait for it, were the Celts in 5th century BC. (different name back then though!).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I planned 2 nights here, knowing that the first night would be a "sleeper" as I was only getting here at about 6 ish. In saying that I still managed to explore the local area around the pension where I'm staying - so not wasted time!
The people here have been wonderful, I have managed to see everything I wanted to.. except for the view from the museum of modern art, there was a private party on when I went to go up the Mönchsberg Lift so, missed it by that much...
Tumblr media
This city is an amazing contrast. Within minutes on a bus just outside suburbia you can find yourself amongst open spaces and gorgeous castles. Seeing the Schloss' Hellbrunn and Frohnburg, the Gwandhaus, and the Schloss Freisaal was just beautiful. Trying to describe the feeling when you see such beautiful buildings appear in amongst the winter landscape, particularly Schloss Frohnberg, with its man made lake that was almost frozen....just wow. I may be a bit of a romantic but, wow.
Tumblr media
I saw many churches (strangely there are lots of them over here in Europe..😁). Schloss Mirabell and Mirabellgarten, located near Mozart's residence. The beautiful old town with its varied pathways, believe me varied..I did a fair bit of "exploring", not helped by the multitudes of Christmas markets that were everywhere! Gosh they were so pretty all lit up at night. The Gluhwein was flowing, and I'm proud to say I helped out the local lions here by purchasing one!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I made it up to Festung Hohensalzburg (fortress Hohensalzburg), for the museums, the views, and what do you know, more Christmas markets! 😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Salzach river is beautiful, with multiple bridges crossing it (I am pretty sure I walked across all of them!) Apparently salt was amongst one of the biggest shipments that were transported along the river back in the 19th Century, so that helped with the name.
I managed to finally get a Weiner Schnitzel last night, and wow was it nice, teamed with a nice local bier! Somehow I also managed to get the waiter to get me a smaller version of the "Salzburger Nockerl", a local culinary special that was a 'must try'. It's like a sweet egg white souffle cooked with a crispy golden sugar on top that is normally served in a group of 3. I struggled with one! Hats off to the chef for making me one instead of 3, and to my waiter for making it happen - you guys rock! (Yeah yeah yeah, blond hair and my wonderful personality may have helped there too - whatever!)
Tumblr media
The Salzburg card is definitely worth it, although it isn't like the Innsbruck one, it only gets you a discount off the hop on off bus. Public buses head to most of the tourist areas anyway so choose either one (public buses don't have a commentary though... 😂)...
Steps are insane, feet are getting tired. (3 beers last night were well earned!) Off to Vienna today!
