#this kind of thing used to go on twitter RIP

[lacobus]

nsfw ; mark & his favorite cam streamer

tags: reader is afab but not really explicitly gendered, kind of exposition heavy, reader is a cam girl/cam boy, light discussion of porn, and masturbation

it's not really surprising mark jerks off. he's just a person, not a paragon of saintly attitude and disposition.

he can be mean, he can be pretty disgusting sometimes, it's what most people are occasionally. in the normal ways— like forgetting their manners from time to time or cracking an insensitive joke.

he's not innocent, not really anyway. he knows his way around the internet. knows which accounts on twitter to look at. its all part of the routine he's developed over the influx of hormones simmering within himself.

mark knows what he likes and what he absolutely can't stand. he always skips videos with excessive moaning, and refuses to watch hardcore kink videos because he's not really ready or interested.

he skims through couple videos sometimes and gets a little miffed at the fact that he's getting off to kissing and missionary. other times he just browses. it feels more like a chore than an outlet. he's probably gone miles and miles by just clicking and browsing. scrolling, if he's on his phone.

eventually he comes to find cam sites— they're pretty straightforward and in-your-face generally speaking. he's not even that far from the banner and almost a dozen of people are scantily clad or naked.

your video is somewhere down the line. you're not really in lingerie, just in an oversized t-shirt and panties. they hug your figure nicely, and you're just groping yourself.

mark is early, he learns, and you usually like to stretch out the teasing foreplay part of your streams. taking your sweet time to remove your shirt, and either peel or kick off your panties. moving slow like molasses.

part of what mark enjoys seeing in porn is probably authenticity. there's always a form of vunerability in porn. in the way people grind and moan and keen. he likes to see someone who's honestly enjoying themselves and you do exactly just that.

flick your nipples and laugh, muttering that it doesn't really do anything for you, but that it probably turns someone on. it's charming, and incredibly attractive in a way mark isn't very familiar with.

he's half hard when you finally decide to use your toy— tentatively, just one. set aside usually, just within reach so when you decide you're sick of preening for the camera you can finally get off.

the show isn't fancy, but mark cums anyway. he's satisfied when he does. you're still writhing and mewling when he tucks himself back into his boxers.

he likes things simple, that way they're easy to understand. mark commits your username to memory and drops by whenever he feels like it.

mark learns that you like to interact with your chat sometimes. a swarming insatiable mess of horny idiots all vying for your attention no matter how short it might be.

he usually forgets about the chatter. he isn't paying attention to random people comment about how pretty your ass is or how they want you to stick your tongue out when you cum, all he focuses on is fucking his fist to the rhythm of your bucking hips and cumming in sync.

it usually goes that way, until he's watching you entertain questions from viewers. you get a few strange ones that you don't really pay mind to, but someone starts the conversation of people you'd fuck.

of course celebrities make the list, but mark doesn't expect the conversation to talk about heroes.

"immortal?" you laugh, a little out of breath as you slowly work your way up and down a dildo. "too old, and he's not cute!"

mark grimaces, the mental image isn't cute either. a selfish and sick part of him refuses to share, but he doubts immortal even knows how to look up pornsites. he probably pages through magazines or something.

you go quiet for a bit and squint at the screen, "of course! why wouldn't i? invincible is ripped like hell."

mark's face grows hot, incredibly flattered. he gets hard when you spout out little comments about how you'd lick his neck and let him fuck your throat sore.

mark's liking for you had been mostly out of how pretty you are and how easy it is to watch you come apart. but now he knows how big of a fan you are for invincible, and he's never gonna pass up on watching you ever.

GET KOSA TRENDING.

STOP SCROLLING NOW!

AS OF FEBRUARY 21ST, 2024, WE GOT FIVE DAYS UNTIL THE DAY OF DECISION OF THE KOSA BILL, WHICH WILL CAUSE MASS CENSORSHIP ROUND THE INTERNET IF PASSED. OR DOOMSDAY. WE NEED EVERYONE TO KNOW ABOUT THIS AND CONTRIBUTE. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON YOU ALL.

WE'RE DOWN TO THE WIRE BUT WE CAN'T GIVE UP YET. IF WE GIVE UP, EVERYTHING IS OVER. IF WE DON'T, AT LEAST WE HAVE A CHANCE.

I'M THE ONE WHO SOUNDED THE ALARM, AND I'M NOT GOING TO CURL UP AND DIE YET.

Reblog this post in every LEGAL way you can under the Tumblr guidelines with the appropriate tags. TELL AND TAG EVERYONE YOU KNOW, then add the tags to see below... and more if you can think of any complying.

Visit badinternetbills.com if you want to find a way to defeat KOSA. It WILL NOT take much of your time. Reblog with any other information or sources, too-- but make sure to reblog if you can.

Hey, everyone. So yeah, this is happening. We're still fighting this battle. And we can't give up now. We can't. We can't stand idly by while one of the most important resources that helped us all wake up, or at least start to question things, is being threatened by the government.

We can't stand idly by when kids, teens, and adults just like us still trapped inside might lose access to the resource that could help them wake up. We can't stand idly by when they might lose access to their non JW friends and family. We CAN'T stand idly by when we can do something to stop this bill from passing.

I am sick and tired of this same old song, where conservative fuckers higher up think they can oppress everyone. I am FUCKING SICK of it.

Please, reblog both this post and the original post linked above what I've written, and do what you can to stop KOSA, please. We are running out of time.

I suggest that if it is within your power to do so, that you do more than simply reblog and assume someone else will do something. DON'T assume that. Please do more than just reblogging if you are able to, because that's not really enough at this point.

Call/email representatives in the House and tell them to oppose KOSA (you may want to list different reasons depending on who you're calling, some House representatives are anti-LGBTQ+, so it may be best to tell them to oppose because it violates people's privacy, safety, and anonymity online). Print posters and put them up where legal if you can.

Sharing all this information to other social media sites (Instagram, Reddit, TikTok, the bird app) to reach more people can really help too. The wider the reach, the better.

Thank you. Now let's fucking rip that bill apart like we rip apart Watchtower magazines and eat it for fucking breakfast. (In a "we're eating it and the politicians who are sponsoring it are looking on in horror" kind of way)

[simplydnp]

be honest with me. what are the chances of a hard launch in june

anon this question goes back years. and the thing is. we have been right once before.

you ask me this this time last year? fuck no. i might even quip that dapg would come back before dnp would hard launch. well. look at us now.

and even then, you look back on the content they started with in the revival--it honestly kind of felt exactly like where we left off, only a lot more explicitly queer (we stan). and then... trying to see without my glasses 2. and bang, spooky week happened. and that shifted the balance. we suddenly got slo-mo replays of handholds. day, after day, after day, finishing with the absolute masterpiece of halloween baking cinnamon rolls. in all honesty it was so much more than i'd've ever expected from them. truly another post-baking universe.

and it never really slowed down. suddenly we had cat prom photos, catboy butlers, catboy dan w/ phil photography credit, theyre 'wrestling' --running us full throttle into gamingmas, the first since 2017. and every day we had a new thing to freak out over: standing close. golf jokes. and then... pinof reacts. i don't know what compelled them to do it but i do have speculations. genuinely, i think they wanted to defang a lot of their history. we treated pinof 1, especially, with this... reverance. and it wasn't talked about too publicly--and dnp didnt do it either. so if they really wanted to move on, to bring down the walls, open the floodgates, define this new era: they had to throw the first stone. and they did. quite heartily too. suddenly this almost taboo part of their history--almost too intimate to be perceived--was on the table. and we were talking about it. joking about it. giving clear signals of 'we see it, it's okay.' and suddenly we existed in a post-pinof reacts world. of anything, i would've never predicted they would've done that. absolutely wild. follow that with it takes two being so chill and fond. incohearant being so blatant and heartfelt. trombone champ being unhinged and chaotic. the genuine and sweet complimenting of each other in the red carpet video. devan wedding... happilyphoreverafter... we crashed forward in time. never knowing what would be next. where is the line? how far will they go.

they teased us with japhan honeymoon and we knew 2024 would be wild. but we didn't know how much. from wdapteo 2023, to specific reminiscing about japan w/ devan, WAD happening, and phil playing a huge role in it all--from the orange carpet hosting, to 'ive been in *sex noises* with phil from the start!', to 'remote crisis manager phil lester', to dan saying he can stay during the thank you.

one of the biggest videos so far this year was the tiktok likes one. i will be forever haunted by the dog eating cheeseburger and willy wonka tiktoks--theres some things i was never meant to know. and yet. they tell us. explicitly.

every single video on amazingphil since the return of dapg has mentioned or featured dan. there's been a palpable shift in the way they interact. have you seen the way phil has been glowing in videos lately? this guy is on cloud nine all the time. it's really not hard to see why.

the energy of keep or yeet w/ dan... the absolute Lack of pretense of it all. phan twitter... watch your step baby girl...

dan and phil fucking crafts. talk about an unexpected return. legacy defining, one might even say. we're still in this tailspin of what everything means and they drop this insanely iconic video on us. from the storytelling to the production to the aesthetic--and its all capped off by explicit handholding. yes, it was part of the sacrifice. but hand in hand, the heart dan ripped from phils chest in one, and the knife that did it in the other... oh boy. we're really in it now. and then they put it on fucking merch. genius. truly no one does it like them.

and the foot has been on the accelerator since. dan and phil connections, shuffleboard & mocktails, getting deep slumber party, acknowledgement & approval of fics (yes previously given but never like this)--hell, even the sims today was wild for 'is their love language horrible banter 👀'.

you didn't ask for an essay but i gave you one. all of this to say, they've been moving the line. quite intentionally so. they intentionally revived their joint branding. they are 'dan and phil' again, and seem happier than ever about it, and i think that means something. they're saying things they never would have before--out of the closet or not.

as for june... 5 years since coming out is a big deal. so is this year being 15 years of dnp. hell, so is this year for being the first out pride month where they're explicitly a duo and regularly making content together. they're sentimental, there will be something.

my craziest idea is reacting to their coming out videos ✌️😔 --but i don't think it'll actually happen. as for more realistic, i could see pride merch. and however that goes will be significant, in my opinion. i'm excited and curious.

i don't know if they'll hard launch. it's hard to put all of the implications, complications, and speculations back into the box once it's opened. dan's talked about it before--wanting to be able to fuck up and not be publically executed, instead, being able to learn and grow and work it out. i think that's a very understandable stance to have. very grounded. we'd have to ask him if tour/dapg has changed that now. i do think he's had some sort of life epiphany--whether it's about that specifically, only he can say. but i think it's there.

even if i portray a lot of level-headedness, i wear my clown nose with pride. sometimes the only option is to go with whatever is funniest at the time. they're both jokesters, so they could commit to a bit like that. but it's also like, it can be too serious for them to want to joke about. i don't know. i think we're in this almost beautiful state right now--the we know you know of it all. there's no expectations, no demands to be met, no obligations of types of content. they're happy. we're happy. it depends on if they feel ready. if they want to. we'll be here, always.

macklin giving blarie her first piece of sharks clothes with his name and number ! also mack got this awesome sharks bomber jacket for the draft and i definitely seeing him wanting blarie to wear it because it would look so much better on him

celebrini 71

figure skater x macklin celebrini au (macklin + blaire)

after becoming official, blaire makes her debut in mack’s official sharks jersey as a surprise

wc: 1.7k

i swear you guys are just writing the au at this point i’m just here to add the details :) i combined two requests since they were basically the same thing but i thought this was super cutie

au masterlist

now that they were officially together, it was just a matter of slowly telling everyone else and the fans who mack knew would go crazy when they found out he had a girlfriend. knowing how crazy they got sometimes, he didn't wanna scare blaire with it all, so before the next game, they talked about how ready she was to make their relationship public. 

"we totally don't have to do any of it," mack said making sure the girl understood that he wasn't pressuring her into any of this. she giggled though. 

"i don't know, i kind of want to. plus, so many people where your name and number so i'd just blend in with them. people will think i'm a fan or something," blaire grinned and those words were like music to the boy's ears. he'd been dying to get her into something that told people who's she was. not in a possessive way, but in a way that he wanted to show her off. 

"i guess you're right. are you sure though? i don't wanna push you into this if you aren't ready. people online can be pretty brutal," the brunette admitted because he's seen it before with so many guys and their girlfriends where the fans were just ruthless and saying horrible things—especially to will and samy after they got back together. 

"i'm sure, i promise. i hardly even use instagram or twitter to even see those comments," the girl reassured him, pecking the bridge of his nose. 

"okay, well in that case, my whole closet is yours to choose from," mack jumped up and opened the doors so blaire could see the full layout of all of his sharks merch she could wear to the game. she blushed, her eyes wandering over all of the options. 

"i mean i'd love if you wanted to wear my jersey, but if that's too much too soon you obviously don't have to. i have a bunch of shirts with my name on them—oh, and..i may have gotten you a small something," the hockey player rambled nervously as he jumped back over to his desk. blaire watched curiously as he brought out a two boxes wrapped up in blue wrapping paper. she raised her eyebrow.

"mack, what is this? you don't have to get me things," she quickly complained but the boy shook his head. 

"i know, but i wanted to," he smiled softly. she eyed him before slowly ripping the paper open. the first box she opened was a sharks t-shirt that one would see in the merch store or something, but after flipping it over, macklin's 71 and last name was displayed across the back. the girl quickly grinned.

"i wanted to get you your own," mack explained.

"this is so sweet, mack. i love it. i'll wear it everyday," she brought him into a hug. "good, i'm glad you like it. i had to keep up the tradition you know? of you having all my team shirts," he kissed her cheek and then urged her to open the other slightly bigger box. 

blaire tore into the wrapping paper again and eagerly lifted the lid off the box. her eyes widened when she saw the same sharks' teal in the form of a jacket. she lifted it up to see, admiring the detail that was the san jose sharks across the back and then mack's name and number along the sleeves. 

"woah, this is crazy," blaire mumbled

"i got it from the draft but i thought you'd look better in it than i ever would," he chuckled a bit.

"are you serious? you don't want this??" the dirty blonde admired the jacket in disbelief that her boyfriend didn't wanna keep something like this for his memories. 

"i'm sure. i probably wouldn't really wear it and i want you to have it," he insisted. blaire looked at him, a soft expression coating her features as he brought him into another hug. 

"you're so sweet. thank you," she said and they exchanged warm smiles. 

"of course. i hope i'll see you in one of them tonight," mack grinned, excited to see what outfit blaire would choose. she smirked, "looks like you'll have to wait and see." 

—

blaire was gonna go all out for the game. she layered the new shirt mack just got her with his jersey which she was already planning on wearing before he got her the new shirt and jacket. she did her hair in a half up braid and those teal and white ribbons she wore to every game. she really hoped mack would like her outfit because she'd been planning it since last week when they finally became official. 

the girl pulled up to the rink an hour before puck drop. she got through the front security and headed towards her seat, eyes on the lookout for mack down on the ice. like blaire suspected, she blended right in with the other fans wearing the player's jerseys so everyone would just think she bought mack's jersey herself when in reality it was his actual jersey she was wearing. 

the brunette was busy warming up that he didn't notice her in her usual spot right away. the girl just admired him for the moment and the focus on his face as he ran the puck between his stick. it was something blaire had always admired about him and his dedication. mack never once let up, always ready, always giving it his all. it was why they bonded so quickly way back when they met because she was super dedicated to figure skating. she put her whole life into it, so meeting someone who was just as passionate about his own sport was something blaire really admired. 

finally, the rookie looked up at the stands for his girlfriend. he didn't see her at first because she blended right in with the other fans, so the boy became puzzled when he thought he didn't see her in her usual spot. he looked at the time—20 minutes until the start of the game. if mack knew anything about blaire it was that she hated being late. she always got to places early, so he was confused when he didn't see her. 

mack started growing concerned and was about to ask will when he finally saw her face in the crowd of people. she was looking at her phone, but mack recognized those ribbons from a mile away. his eyes traveled further down her figure and that's when he realized why she blended in so well and he didn't see her at first. 

she was wearing his jersey he gave her the other day. his jersey. the brunette was so shocked that he stopped everything he was doing to stare at her which made it quite obvious to others watching him. 

"mack?" will grew confused when he saw his friend just standing there not moving. the blonde tried following his eye line and that's when he saw blaire sitting up in the stands with a 71 on her back. 

"that's my jersey," the boy mumbled still in disbelief. 

"celly, you're staring," will nudged him before other fans caught onto what he was staring at. 

mack finally broke out of his stare, face completely red when he realized how hard he was staring. he ducked his face so fans didn't see and acted like he was still doing warm ups. blaire finally looked up, oblivious to her boyfriend's staring. she smiled when will offered a tiny wave in her direction. the girl waved back and then she watched him nudge mack. the boy's head slowly lifted and that's when she saw his crazy blush and she knew he had seen her in his jersey. 

mack wasn't sure how he was going to get through this game knowing blaire was up there in his jersey. not some knock off from merch stores, it was his. a jersey he's put on his body and been out on the ice during games. 

the team was called back down the tunnel. mack sent her a quick wink as he skated after will making blaire giggle. 

it was safe to say blaire was mack's good luck charm that night. he got two goals and two assists—his best game yet. the fans were on their feet cheering the rookie on, but the only cheers that mattered to mack belonged to the dirty blonde jumping around with pretty little ribbons tied into her hair staring directly at him. 

he was out of the locker room in record speed once the game finished to where blaire always waited for him in their secret hallway in the back of the arena. he laid his eyes on her as soon as he turned the corner and was practically running to spin her into his arms. blaire giggled when mack immediately lifted her off the ground, spreading a thousand kisses across her face. 

"hey," she giggled at his affection. mack pulled back to really take her in up close, his pupils literally turning to hearts as he made her do a slow spin so he could see the whole jersey on her. 

"wow," he mumbled. 

"i wanted to surprise you," blaire grinned and she felt his fingers gently trace his last name on her upper back and then down to the 71. 

"you look so good," he turned her back around, cupping her face in his hands. 

"so you like it?" 

"like it? i love it," the brunette kissed her, not being able to hold back anymore. she stood on her tiptoes for a better angle, her own hands clutching his wrists. 

"you look beautiful," mack hummed when they pulled back. 

"you're so sweet. brings me back to shattuck days," blaire remembered the old days where mack always gave her the jersey he wasn't wearing that game for her to wear and she wore it proudly every time. tonight was no different. 

"for sure, but this is even better," the rookie leaned in to kiss her again and she quickly reciprocated. it was such a good thing no one came back to this part of the arena ever.

My Heartsteel Headcanons

(Except they’re real things real kpop idols really did)

The guys solve all their problems/make all their decisions by playing rock, paper, scissors. Ezreal always loses

Except for that one time when he didn’t, and he literally got down on his knees and thanked God for him finally not losing

(Yone was the one who lost that time, btw)

Kayn ripped his pants in the middle of a televised performance

While playing charades, the others try (and fail) to make Yone guess “luggage”. A few minutes later, he’s only able to guess the word after Sett (with Aphelios’s help) pretends to be a luggage bag

Kayn can play “Mary Had a little Lamb” on the recorder with his nose. Yone asked if he could play something else, which promoted him to immediately play “My Heart Will Go On”

Ezreal told their fans during a live concert performance that he used to have a really nice jacket that he wore for some performances… until one of his stylists accidentally left it on a lighting device

Long story short, his Gucci burned

Sett cries at the end of every concert

A fan once left a comment during an Instagram live that read “I’m crying in the club”, and Yone immediately responded with “you’re in the club?”

Aphelios can perfectly forge all of his bandmates’s signatures; he’s signed Heartsteel memorabilia with everyone’s signatures before, without anyone else knowing

Ezreal yelled at Sett on TV for wearing insoles in his shoes even though he’s already tall

They like to play games during their concerts, like limbo and “who can unravel a roll of toilet paper the fastest?” (it’s K’sante, but Sett’s a close second)

When he first debuted, Ezreal promoted himself by passing out mints to strangers and asking them to listen to his song

Yone wasn’t able to join the others for a live stream once, so they called him to chat for a bit. Aphelios thought it be funny to hang up on Yone as soon as he answered the phone

He was right

Kayn once showed up to the airport wearing a dog head mask

During an encore performance, the guys decided to have a push up contest while they sang

(Sett swears he won, but everyone else begs to differ)

K’sante once mentioned during a TV interview that Kayn didn’t want to watch a movie with him bc he “doesn’t like watching movies”, which got Kayn (who didn’t want to look bad in front of any movie producers who were potentially watching) so worked up, he threw a pen at the table they were seated at… which bounced right into Yone’s eye

While he was promoting his debut song, Ezreal’s brightly colored stage outfits became a meme after he compared them to different kinds of Listerine online. The meme gained so much traction, Listerine actually sent him boxfuls of mouthwash and a customized cake decorated with some fondant Listerine bottles and a sugar doll version of himself on top

The guys tease Alune a lot. Like, a lot. Sett even once jokingly asked their fans to help them set Alune up on a date bc “she’s always solo” and “it’s so sad 🥺” (pray for her u guys)

K’sante accidentally knocked the head off of a department store mannequin

After watching one of their performances, the CEO of their record label complimented the group members individually, telling them things like “your voice is good”, “you look great”, “keep it up”, etc. But, according to Kayn, the CEO only told him: “your forehead’s wide, so you’ll succeed” (wtf does that even mean??)

Kayn and Ezreal had a Twitter war where they enlisted the help of their fans to Photoshop dumb memes of the other using whatever unflattering images of themselves could be found online

Sett has a habit of napping wherever he can. The guys take advantage of the opportunity by taking pictures of themselves posing around him while he’s asleep; some favorites include K’sante standing above him to recreate “The Creation of Adam”, Aphelios putting q-tips on his mouth, and Ezreal stacking random things on his chest

For his birthday, K’sante was surprised with a birthday cake at the end of their concert. As soon as he blew out the candles, the guys shoved him face-first into the cake. He then proceeded to chase them all down, lobbing chunks of the remaining cake at them

An interviewer once said “Ezreal’s not big” (referring to his height). Ezreal responded by saying, “how do you know I’m not big? 😏” (not referring to his height)

Aphelios choked on his water when he heard Ezreal tell a different interviewer “I’m an innocent boy” (he absolutely isn’t). As he choked, Sett told him to “watch out, babe”

Ezreal told Ernest to leave the frame of a video they were filming, but he spoke the command in Korean (I hc that he’s trilingual). When Ernest actually obeys the command, Kayn asks, in the most incredulous way ever, “your dog speaks Korean??”

*Sett promoting their music to random strangers*: “You want to be happy? Buy the CD! From Riot, listen in your MP3! You are not you and I am not me, bc we are one big family! 😁”

The guys once left Sett and K’sante behind at a gas station at night

Aphelios wrote Ezreal a heartfelt letter, written in Hangul, that he requested to be read during a live performance. Ezreal read the letter out loud; it started out well, until he realized that he recognized the words

He’d know the lyrics to the Sailor Moon theme song anywhere

[lemotmo]

Curious to see yours and if anyone sends them, Ali’s thoughts

Because genuinely I don’t even know what to think.

Like who was this for ?

The GA didn’t want it and are extremely pissed off so far (at least from what I’ve seen in Facebook)

The fans didn’t want and are extremely pissed off so far. (The Twitter and instagram comments are just yikes rip to the social media teams)

According to Tim, Peter didn’t want to leave so Peter Didn’t want it.

The cast I can’t imagine actually wanted it

So like.. truly. What was the point of this and who was it for other then for Tim himself to stand in front of a mirror clapping for himself and praising himself for being oh so hip and fresh. And if it’s a fake out? It’s cruel and even more pointless.

And Ryan. God he deserves so so so much better then what Tim and this show is giving him. The treatment of his character this season, but especially tonight was absolutely disgusting and there was absolutely zero reason or excuses for it.

As for Buddie? I’m not really sure where we go from here. Like it just feels gross trying to push Buddie forward immediately after Bobby dies? And my faith in any one that works in that writers room, directs, or showrunner, is absolutely shattered at this point and I don’t think I’d even trust for a second they would do the boys justice and not find some way to absolutely ruin them as well because Tim wants to be “new and creative”

Well, I've posted a few things now with my thought on all of this Nonny, so make sure to go through my blog to read up on stuff.

As for Buddie? I fear they are planning to do exactly what you are afraid of here: using this Bobby death to propel them forward. Something about how 'tomorrow isn't promised to anyone'.

I'm at a loss. I've been here for years now, faithfully watching this show. I genuinly love this show and I trusted them with my viewership. I feel bamboozled, because none of this makes any kind of sense. 🤷‍♀️

Some Positivity

it's not all sunshine and rainbows, obviously, but there IS an upside. and there IS reason to believe he can achieve at least something close to his ceiling with us.

okay. here's a bunch of tweets lol. then i'm going to attempt to make sense of them.

(i'm avoiding joe g and jake's tweets right now because they are hard core stats/data guys and obviously the stats and data don't look great. but even joe admitted he doesn't think this was a 'set a pick on fire' type thing. it's just very high risk, but also high reward. but if you look at the guys who do a lot of x's and o's analysis of the game, who put the stats in context, you can see some better reasoning for everything.)

starting here with max's tweets. two years ago, not at all coincidentally to when sam started to fall off a cliff, our run defense started to decline RAPIDLY. and this past year, as many awful things as you could say about our run defense, numbers DID improve (yeah there were missed tackles in the secondary. but if you look at the stats, our tackling was actually around average?? it's just our misses happened at the WORST times lol)

but why did our run defense numbers improve when our talent certainly didn't?? because we were focusing almost entirely on stopping the run, at the expense of the pass. if you look at our numbers against derrick henry for instance, we were one of the better teams at stoping him. but in order to do things like that, we used ALL of our resources. "loading the box" etc etc, aka bring all our guys up to stop the run, and leaving pretty much no help for our secondary, which, as max says, KILLS you in the pass game. but it was our only choice, we didn't have anyone talented in our run game (sam declining, dj reader leaving) so it's what we had to do. and it's what went wrong in both of our games against the ravens. (i'm forever haunted by that play where lamar knocks sam down TWICE and then scores oh my god.)

one thing we did do in free agency was pick up a true nose tackle in TJ Slaton. losing DJ the year before was devastating and our young guys did not step up (and honestly weren't true NTs anyway). TJ is a true big guy run stuffer, and he'll take over the job of both jenkins and jackson struggling to stop the run in the center, allowing them to do other things like stop the run in other places/rush the guards/maybe even get after the passer a bit.

and we also got rid of sam (rip. i still love you. but it was for the best. enjoy your marriage to a plumbing heiress ✨). when sam was at his best, he was an edge setting contain guy. he DID get some sacks, but his production was never anywhere close to trey's. his job was to stop the QB from running out of the pocket, aka "contain" the edge. and he just couldn't do it anymore. it's clear that the coaches now see shemar as that dude (and maybe myles still. we'll see). PLUS shemar can also apparently kick inside at times, so that's where we could see some interior pressure (i also just learned ossai can also do this. so that's nice!) and if he does pan out, his traits are wayyyy better than sam, so he could honestly be Sam Hubbard+

now we get to mike sans here, who is THE trenches guy on twitter. i definitely trust his opinion in these kind of things. obviously the lack of production is concerning, but mike thinks that it can at least partly be explained by the scheme/coaching at A&M. his point that nolen (rip. i'll always love you and hate the cardinals now) himself also didn't produce as much when in the same system is something i found pretty compelling.

at A&M, shemar was lined up in such a way that he got most of the double teams (this aligns with what al golden said last night, that when he was coaching at notre dame, his offense was most scared of shemar/they were 'always bitching' about him lol).

pass rush stats are apparently complicated (as all stats are i guess when you look further into them) and according to sans, shemar wasn't given a lot of opportunity to use a lot of his talents. and apparently the coaching staff there doesn't spend much time teaching how to actually rush the passer?? 🤔

now obviously he still could have had a better run defense game, as sans also admits, but he still attributes a lot of that to the system there. obviously our coaching staff must have a plan for shemar in our system that will benefit him the most (you'd hope! at least!)

finally this quote from the post-draft interview last night (where he did come off very likable and sweet)

shemar knows that he didn't finish a lot of the time. he knows where he needs to improve. and he knows he needs to follow trey around like a baby duckling (so you know, like others have said, it's important trey is actually there for training camp!!)

by all accounts he's a high character guy (and again. let's all be grateful they didn't draft mike green. no one did, hilariously.) he's smart, always puts in the effort, and is willing to learn. and he has all the traits to get there. our coaching staff just needs to find a way to get through to him to take him all the way. obviously that's not something lou and the former d-line coach could do (see myles murphy) but! maybe this one staff is the key. obviously they were chosen for their abilities to develop. let's hope they actually can.

หมาเห่าเครื่องบิน (A Dog and A Plane) : TAYNEW is back in a bl fucking finally!! this one seems promising with its plot and the comedy seems strong. poon also in this as a hussy and i can't be more stroke for my boy. i'm a bit worry about class disparity again cause the thai name of this show is "A dog barking at a plane" it's idiom that mean a lower class person pursuing someone out of their status. we got burned before with peaceful property so holding out hope that we'll not to going get burn again.

มีสติหน่อยคุณธีร์ (Me and Thee) : Phuwin doing comedy inner monologue?! You son of a bitch i'm in. although Fish upon the sky sucked ass in terms of plot imo it was one of the best BL comedy coming out of thailand in recent years and this show reminded me so much of that. at worst it going to be funny nonsense of a show, so what could possibly go wrong hehe (plz don't fuck this up gmmtv.)

จาฤกรติชา (Memoir of Rati) : i'm not fan of period piece but this one seems angsty and queer. and maybe second time's the charm for greatinn. they also uses a cheap trick of Great's oilly naked body to lure us in like the siren song of abs and sadly that worked for me 😅

Ticket To Heaven เด็กชายไม่ไปสวรรค์ : G4 are not in a cutesy BL Wowoh! i really like the trailer for this one. the thai name for this show is "Boys/Boy don't goes to heaven" and it's make me get all the feels. i'm intrigued and excited for this one the most cause this one doesn't feels like a typical gmmtv show and against all odd i will hope they could deliver.

Welp let see, i'm excited for 5 out of what 20 shows?? oohh boy gmmtv really in the we throwing things untill something stick era ain't they. i think i'm in the more hopeful side of people whose has been burned by gmmtv. so i'm really hoping that the more unique shows that they got would actually turn out great cause despite what i've said lately about Thai BL, i'm very passionate about them and want to see them do well. i want to see Thai BL and Thai media in general to be someday be recognized on the global level, and gmmtv with all it woes is still the leading voice in this industry. i want them to learns and grow out of this idol manufacturer mindset, which maybe a wishful thinking but i'm still going to be holding up hope for a better days for Thai BL. any fucking way don't fuck Ticket To Heaven up gmmtv or i will be doing cursing ritual on you!

not to be messy but how do you feel about people stealing other peoples viral posts on tumblr and reposting it on twitter like it’s theirs. (she’s on here by guttergirl-444) & she has stolen many more lol

at first glance it’s like shock and amazement more than anything because i never thought this would happen to me, but when i actually stop to think about it, it actually is very frustrating and invasive. i know it happens all the time and i can’t really stop it, plus my posts have no copyright or anything but it is true, when i make posts that aren’t haha funny laugh a lot play a lot, they kind of are little extensions of my artwork. like drafts and ideas that often get elaborated on if they seem to connect with people.

i don’t really want to dunk on other artists because it feels mean spirited, but i just want to point out this one instance that shows how writing anything on tumblr is “just a tumblr post” and people often don’t consider that there’s a person behind it. it’s almost like a popular tumblr post becomes fair use. This artist here took my words directly from my post (and even used the same iconography of a beach??) and when you click on the link in the description, it takes you to their instagram account with 142k followers. not even a single nod to me, who wrote the actual words. as an extra little punch, they call themself a poet in their bio.

sure my post was a bottom text top text “meme image” but there was a lot behind it—in both thought and time. the exact same ideas and photos made their way into a book i made just a couple months later. i think i sold umm one copy?

all in all, im not complaining about lacking “popularity” because that’s utterly stupid. but there’s something moderately soul-crushing about making a tumblr post and having it ripped to shreds by all walks of life online. It literally feels like i’ve placed something beautiful in the world out of my own kindness, then walked away, and when i come back everyone has defaced and damaged and killed it. it’s kind of invasive but I know it’s the way things go.

i love the anonymity of tumblr but sometimes I wish it we were all a little more open. Maybe people could remember that behind every blog is another person with ideas, cares, opinions, annoyances, and loves. I’m sure this one twitter account isn’t really doing much damage—honestly I haven’t even gone to look at it to see how people are replying—but it’s rough out there on this beautiful social media we call tumblrposts.

LIVING IN YOUR “KING KYLIE” ERA

A little background information for those hoes who lived under a rock during 2015-2018, “King Kylie” was created by none other than Kylie Jenner. King Kylie was known for her iconic street & designer outfits, makeup used by her very own, “Kylie Cosmetics”, dating Tyga, having multiple hair color phases, having multiple friends, & last but not least, being #1 on Snapchat, Insta, & Twitter.

So yeah basically every teenage girl’s dream. Now a lot of you may be like “Oh well of course she could obtain this lifestyle, she’s rich!” Yes I get what you’re saying, but you can DEFINITELY keep up with this kind of lifestyle without having to spend mad money on outfits & makeup products. Now, if you’re interested in creating this new era for yourself, keep reading to find out hoe!

#1: THE FASHION

Okay so like I was saying before, Kylie’s fashion mainly consisted of designer & elements of street wear. Such as,

Tube tops

Ripped jeans

Jumpsuits

Athletic sets (Puma, Nike, Adidas)

Basic colored shirts

Sweats

Alexander Wang

Balmain

Versace

Givenchy

Alright so… it may seem a little basic to some, but it all depends on how you put the fashion together! Wear jewelry, keep up with your nails, hair laid, fire ass shoes, etc. Whatever you can to spice up the outfit. Basics are just good to wear because they literally go with everything. If you have nothing but “exciting” colors & designs in your closet, it could be harder to come up with an outfit some days. Which is why I tend to keep blacks, whites, greys, & any other plain colors that way I’m not struggling, lol. For my broke hoes, you can go to stores such as Rainbow Shops, H&M, Amazon, Tiktok Shop, Old Navy, etc. since after all, you want to be your own version of King Kylie on a budget.

#2: THE MAKEUP

During this time, Kylie was becoming very popular for her makeup line, “Kylie Cosmetics”. Especially her lip kits. There was even one time all of her lip kits sold out online within 30 seconds!

But anyway, her makeup looks were known for being “a little much”. So yea basically a full face of makeup. Now if you are too young or maybe your family doesn’t want you wearing makeup, then you can skip this because I can’t force anyone to do the things I want to do. If so you can rock some concealer, setting powder, blush, highlighter, & mascara. But if you ARE allowed to wear a full face, then keep reading😊!

Her routine was mostly foundation, concealer, powder, contour/bronzer, the dark brows etc. Since I can’t plan out literally everything I will link videos from her past videos or other people who did inspired makeup:

Some stores you could visit or shop from for makeup products are Ulta, Sephora, Target, Walmart, or even a local drugstore such as CVS. I don’t really recommend getting products online as you can’t test to see if products would suit you, not unless you are used to makeup & know what suits you best.

#3: HEALTH/LIFESTYLE

Of course there is no doubt that Kylie was very fit during this era, despite her surgeries. So therefore I am not exactly sure of her workout routines or specific diet because I am not a friend of her’s, lol. But I can say to aim for an hourglass like figure. So work on your core, tone your legs, & grow ya booty & hips. Just keep a diet of salads, water, protein shakes, chicken, rice, fruits, etc. It’s also SUMMER so use this as an opportunity to improve your body. Also take vitamins & drink plenty of tea & water.

#4: HAIR

It’s pretty self explanatory. Have fun with your hair! Grow it out, cut it short, color it, try a new style, whatever you may feel like would keep you happy :)

#5: SOCIAL MEDIA

There’s no doubt that this is the biggest tip of this whole blog. Social media was Kylie’s second home at this time! So if you really want to go popular on your socials:

• Be active almost everyday (of course give yourself breaks when needed)

• Take lots of pics! Not just any pics, please don’t take pics in your bonnet & post it😩 put some makeup on, lay down your hair, have a cute outfit on & prop that camera up!

• Use trending hashtags to boost your popularity

•If you are really starting to gain popularity on social media, companies or brands may check you out too! You can get into promos such as wig promos, makeup, lashes, nails, etc. you both can benefit!

•Be relatable & show your personality! One of the things Kylie was most known for in this era was being a relatable teenage girl as she often reflected her personality, which helped her gain a similar audience

•BE CAREFUL WITH WHAT YOU POST. Yes I know you want to be popular on social media & stuff, but be conscious with what you post. Don’t start seeking attention in the bad way.

• Invest in an iphone 5/6/7 to take pictures on for that grainy, old camera quality most of us miss cus I know I do😕

#6: CONCLUSION

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post! But of course don’t copy literally every single thing Kylie did as in this era as she was still figuring herself out just like any other teenager. So that means don’t go find a Tyga (a man who is 8 years older than you), splurge on the most expensive clothes & makeup, & copy every mistake Kylie made. Just use this post for fun & use this as INSPIRATION! So I hope you to see you hoes later. Bye King (Your/Name)!

Xoxo,

Gigi Da Brat💋

PVP CIVILIZATION PRINCEZAM ONSCREEN DEATH THOUGHTS BEAM GO 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥(and a bonus)

shoutout to boredcrook on here 4 being my test audience after making the horrid mistake that was asking me about pvpciv. even shoutier shoutout to radiostaticboy on twitter 4 being the person i continuously bounce ideas off!

also, Did You Know? i'm on ao3!! you can read my evil thoughts given form there- i go by stranger_from_another_dimension

i. i think about his eventual death so often and i know it's gonna be a beautiful sight

because we have someone who's knocked everyone else away trying to get to the top. he discarded his HOME just to get a TASTE of godhood. and while he is somewhat successful in this regard, that is to say, he has one eternal weapon under his belt and even then that's like A LOT to have for one singular guy

i need to see him have the one good thing in his life(that is to say, the eternal trident) ripped from his arms and for him to cry out and beg, "Anything but that!" yknow how like scaramouche reacted when nahida took the gnosis he was using

anyways i want evbo to pry the eternal trident from his hands and i want him to scowl down at zam and wish for him to suffer as he has. make evbo feel wrath. make zam feel remorse

and he(this is to say, ironically enough, evbo) probably feels remorse about it after. he understands that zam was EVIL but.

"Maybe he could have been redeemed. In some other version of events, I didn't grab, I extended a helping hand. Maybe some kindness in his life was all he needed to change."

"evbo he tried killing you"

"HE HAD HIS REASONS"

"SELFISH REASONS???"

something something this outcome all stemming from another meeting between zam and evbo wherein zam asks of evbo to lay down his weapon knowing hes so gullible he'd probably toss it down. and then evbo doesn't. no, he throws it and watches as it imbeds itself in the ground, and then evbo balls his fists and approaches.

"I did what you said," evbo mumbles, breathlessly, when he's sure there's no need for further violence. "I laid down my weapon." and then he walks over and picks it right back up and idk if he'd just collapse then and there or continue on back to where he's supposed to be but. yeah. ive also imagined this scene happening in the rain so the blood on evbos knuckles washes away, dripping down his fingertips, onto the floor below him. that and dramatic effect and also water. tridentciv.

ok bonus time !!!

do you think zams insane and speaks to his trident like it's the only person on earth who understands him. here's some dialogue that breaks continuity

"..as the new *god* of this world. No, that one was bad, wasn't it...why can't these things come natural?

*Maybe it's because, Zam, you don't have a proper audience.*

Well, I'm TRYING, trident, it's not like there's anyone willing to listen!

*But ZAAAAM, Parrot listened when you held him hostage!*

WHEN I HELD HIM HOSTAGE ONCE! I can't just go around taking people and threatening their loved ones just to practice a few monologs. You know how stale those stunts get.

*I would know because I've been listening to them NONSTOP for the past WHO-KNOWS-HOW-LONG!*

OH I WILL NOT **HESITATE** TO SHATTER YOU IN HALF! The Eternal Trident is already mine, AS IT SHOULD BE, and I bet that it wouldn't COMPLAIN and WHINE and MOAN all the time!

*THEN DO IT! SHATTER ME!*

...oh, I can't. Oh, trident...my only friend...

*I don't forgive you. Get your dingy little hands off of me.*

...I needed to pay a visit to the Swords anyways."

The boy savior

I found out an interview in twitter where it was basically like a draft of the series where ekko tried to kinda "save" Powder (Jinx) from Silco and I tried to make it a fic but I kinda hated it, but anyways here it goes.

Disclaimer: Im NOT a timebomb shipper but I thought this would be kinda fun to write.

word count: 8.8k

The air was thick with smoke and the pungent scent of chemicals from the Shimmer vats. Silco’s lair was nestled deep within the underbelly of Zaun, where only those loyal to him dared venture. For months, Ekko had been obsessed with one thought: rescuing Powder.

Ever since the night Vander died and the Lanes were plunged into chaos, Ekko couldn’t stop thinking about her. Powder had been taken in by Silco, the man who had ripped everything apart. And there was no way she would ever willingly stay with him. She was trapped.

He imagined her locked away somewhere, scared and alone, waiting for someone to free her from Silco’s control.

He couldn’t let her stay there.

Ekko had spent weeks planning, gathering intel through the Firelights, risking his life to track Silco’s movements. He studied the way Silco's guards patrolled his base, learned the ins and outs of the Shimmer factory. It was dangerous, but every risk felt worth it if it meant getting closer to Powder.

Today, he’d found his opening.

Slipping past guards and descending rusted metal stairs, Ekko’s heart pounded with anticipation. His mind raced with thoughts of what he’d say to her when he found her. “I’m here to save you. It’s going to be okay. We can go back.” He imagined the relief in her eyes, the joy of seeing someone who hadn’t abandoned her.

He was going to bring her home.

The heavy door creaked as he pushed it open, revealing the dimly lit room where she stood. His breath caught in his throat.

There she was—her silhouette unmistakable, though something about her seemed off. She was standing with her back turned to him, her hands busy tinkering with something. Just like she always used to, back when they were kids. Back when things were simpler.

"Powder," Ekko called softly, his voice filled with hope and relief. He stepped into the room, his pulse quickening. This is it, he thought. She’s going to turn around, and everything will make sense again.

But she didn’t move.

"Powder," he said again, this time louder, his voice carrying the weight of the weeks he’d spent searching for her. “It’s me. I’m here to rescue you. We can leave—together.”

Still, nothing.

A chill ran down his spine as he took another step forward, watching her shoulders rise and fall in shallow breaths. Something was wrong. This wasn’t how he imagined it. He had expected her to turn and run to him, relieved to be free from Silco’s grasp. But instead, she stayed eerily still, her fingers methodically tinkering with what looked like some kind of makeshift bomb.

He reached out, his voice pleading, "Powder, it’s me. Ekko. I’m here to take you away from all this. Silco, He’s keeping you trapped!"

The moment the words left his mouth, her hands froze. Slowly, agonizingly slow, she straightened up. The clattering of tools stopped, and the silence that followed was suffocating.

She turned around, eyes wide, staring at Ekko as if he were a ghost from a life she had long buried.

For a moment, the shock in her face was unmistakable. Her mouth parted, but no words came out. It was as though she hadn’t expected to see him again, and for that brief second, she looked… vulnerable. Her chest heaved, her fingers twitched, and the makeshift bomb she had been working on clattered to the floor.

"Ekko…?" she whispered, her voice barely audible, like a memory pulled from the past.

The sound of his name from her lips almost undid him. It was her—Powder—underneath it all. His heart surged, filled with hope. "Yeah, it’s me. I’m here to take you home."

But just as quickly as the surprise appeared, her expression twisted into something else. The softness evaporated, replaced by cold anger.

Her eyes narrowed. The vulnerability was gone, swallowed up by a sharp, unhinged smile. "You shouldn’t have come here," she said, her voice hardening. 

Ekko’s heart sank. He stepped closer, his voice gentle. "Powder, please, I’m here to help you. We can go back. We can leave Silco—"

"I don’t need your help," she snapped, cutting him off, her voice rising with fury. “And I’m not Powder anymore, Im Jinx now”

He hesitated, trying to find the right words. "You’re not like this. You’re not who Silco made you. You were always stronger than this."

"Stronger?" she echoed, stepping closer, her eyes flashing with defiance. "You don’t get it! Silco is the only one who believed in me when you all turned your backs. He taught me how to survive in a world that wanted to break me!"

"But at what cost?" Ekko pressed, frustration seeping into his voice. "He’s twisted you! Powder wouldn’t want this. She wouldn’t want to be a pawn in his game!"

"Powder is gone! She died the night Vander was killed!, The day Vi left me to rot!” 

"I’m trying to save you!" Ekko pleaded, moving closer, grasping her wrist, his heart racing with urgency. "Powder, please! Just listen to me! You don’t belong to him. You’re not a weapon. You’re—"

Before he could finish, she lashed out, swatting his hand away as if it burned her. "Don’t touch me!" she spat, anger boiling in her voice.

In that moment of reflex, Ekko reached out again, grabbing her wrist again. "You need to listen!" he insisted, panic rising in his chest.

Jinx’s eyes blazed with fury, and before he could react, she twisted out of his grip and slapped him—hard. The crack of the impact echoed in the small room, and Ekko staggered back, stunned. The sting of the slap reverberated through him, but it wasn’t the physical pain that hurt—it was the realization of what had just happened.

It repeated itself, it was the same kind of slap Vi had given her that day.

Jinx’s chest heaved with shallow breaths, her hand still trembling from the force of the hit. Her face was twisted with anger, but there was something else there too—something that looked like pain.

"You should’ve stayed gone," she whispered, her voice raw and laced with bitterness. "I don’t need you. I don’t need Vi. I don’t need anyone."

Ekko stood there, stunned, his cheek burning from the slap. His heart felt heavy, weighed down by the truth he had been avoiding. She wasn’t going to come with him. No matter how much he wanted to save her.

"Powder…" he whispered, his voice cracking.

"I told you," she said coldly, backing away, her eyes hard and unreadable. "Powder’s gone.” 

Ekko’s throat tightened, his heart aching with the finality of her words. He wanted to fight for her, to reach through the armor she’d built around herself. But the truth was staring him in the face now—she wasn’t the girl he’d lost.

And maybe she never would be again.

Jinx turned her back to him, her body tense, her hands shaking as she went back to tinkering with the device on the table. "Go," she muttered, her voice low and cold. "Before I make you regret coming here."

Ekko lingered for a moment longer, his heart torn between fighting and letting go. But in the end, he knew there was nothing more he could do.

With a heavy heart, he turned and left the room, the sound of the door creaking shut behind him like the final nail in the coffin of what used to be.

A swarm of metallic butterflies danced across the bridge, glimmering ominously in the fading light. Just moments later, an explosion erupted, the blast echoing through the air like thunder and lighting up the sky with fiery brilliance. The culprit's name was etched into the scene, unmistakable.

The overhead lights on the bridge flickered violently as the shockwave slammed into the crowd, sending people sprawling to the ground. Amid the pandemonium, a familiar, melodic hum cut through the chaos. It was Jinx.

She stood defiantly at the center of the storm, her fingers gripping the container that held the hextech gem. With a swift motion, she slipped her arm through the strap, securing it against her side. But just as a grin began to spread across her face, her gaze caught sight of them: Caitlyn and Vi, standing frozen in disbelief.

A wicked smile  twisted her lips as she raised her gun without a second thought. The sound of her shot rang out, echoing ominously, as she aimed to separate the two. In that instant, the smoke billowed around her, obscuring her form like a ghost emerging from the shadows.

Then, out of the haze, Ekko flew toward her, his silhouette a blur of motion. He lunged forward, quick and determined, and with a swift maneuver, he wrested the container from Jinx’s grasp. The force of his movement sent her staggering back, momentarily off balance.

“Go!” Ekko shouted, his voice sharp and commanding as he tossed the gem to Caitlyn and Vi. They didn’t hesitate, instinctively obeying his command.

Jinx, regaining her footing, emerged from the swirling smoke, her wild hair framing her face, eyes blazing with a mix of fury and excitement. The remnants of the explosion flickered in the air around her, casting her in a surreal light.“Oh, look who it is,” she taunted, a wicked grin stretching across her face, the chaos only fueling her exhilaration. “The boy savior.”

username daniel isn't dating daphne, but it would be hilarious if he would was because that means max and daniel could've been in laws and that's hilarious.

username that would've been so iconic. from being teammates to in-laws.

mae jones twitter is losing mind at this moment

daniel ricciardo why? i can't possibly assume why?

lewis hamilton didn't you just announce you're in a relationship with someone? i would assume that's why sebastian vettel he doesn't seem to care all that much

carlos sainz at least he didn't say who it was

max verstappen haven't you heard she's casper now? daphne jones i've disappeared from the media, i am casper, technically speaking.

mae jones it was smart of him to mention her as one of the friends he was hanging out with. people won't suspect her.

sebastian vettel i want to know how long this could possibly go on for. max verstappen knowing dan and daph, at least 5 years or more. lewis hamilton seems reasonable.

daphne jones ooh, i’m getting called a slut already

user92 mr.ricciardo, what does that caption mean?

maejones i see you did your research

danielricciardo i have it written down and underlined in red.

user61 coincidence that this is posted the same day daphne jones announces her new album? i think not

user31 song lyrics? danielriccciardo okay, sherlock and watson, calm down. you expect daphne 'expert secret keeper' jones, to tell me daniel 'blabbermouth' ricciardo her song lyrics? user89 he's got a good point. if anything she'd tell mae, her sister, and not one of her friends.

maxverstappen33 why that picture out of all of them? you have so many and you chose that one?

danielricciardo i think i look fucking great

¡leclerc-s speaks! we will not be speaking of today's grand prix. i live in delusion, charles is still, sadly, p6 and lewis is p2. i will take no arguments on this. enjoy this short chapter.

psst where do you get the funny posts for your edits? I just stumble into them myself but the frequency you post them makes me think there must be a better way.

it depends on the Era! ha. these days i scour Pinterest, searching things like "funny textposts" etc that i haven't used yet or seen used much at all. sometimes i Google "funny tweets" or "weird tweets" etc too. it takes longer than it used to, just because i've made so many little edits with so many of the most popular Funni Posts across social media.

back in the day with the Satire Headlines i just went thru the entire archives of Reductress, The Onion, etc.

and with the dril posts there used to be a dril archive on github, so i went thru that entire thing. the archive died not long after i finished due to Musk's hostile takeover making the Twitter API utterly unusable, RIP dril archive. i could just go thru newer stuff manually now but a lot of dril's recent posts are very political (not going to turn that into DR stuff, poor taste) or just not good (esp in the last few months, i legitimately think someone else is running the account now).

a big part of my frequency is also just my piss-poor health. due to disability i have days where literally all i can do is kind of move my hand around a little to Crop and Paste things, and i like to keep my mind occupied even if i'm not feeling great, so i do that. gives me a giggle and keeps me light-hearted

How do we deal with a user who's spamming various tags with reposted stuff (either straight up reposted without even removing the watermarks or taken from Instagram, where it was ripped from the original Tumblr posts) and whose reaction to a polite notice about it has been deactivating asks and DMs from people they don't follow?

Admin Michelle here!

I'm guessing you're talking about con photos, since you mentioned watermarks, and if that's the case, I have an answer for you! A group of about 40 or so SPN con photographers have a group chat on Twitter and a discord server where we talk about all kinds of things related to cons and photography. Basically, if you notify a couple of us that our photos are being stolen without credit given, then word will spread among us quickly. What we do then is choke their supply. All of us block them on as many platforms as we can, leaving them without content to steal. Sometimes, there is also some public shaming, if the person is especially awful about it.

This doesn't stop everyone who does it, but it at least cuts down on what they steal. We figure these people are like-farmers. They take what they find and repackage it to gain followers and likes. Experienced fans know to just go to the source and follow that person, not the like-farmer, but newbie fans can be tricked into giving them clout. The only thing we can do is shine a light on it. Sunshine is the best disinfectant.

Now, if you're not talking con photos, but fanfic, then I would suggest contacting @fanfic-plagiarism-watchdog. I don't know who's behind that blog, but they're doing the Lord's work here. If it's something else that's being stolen, then I would suggest finding the original creator of whatever it was -art, video, etc- and just telling them that their stuff has been stolen. Again, if enough creators block the like-farmer, their supply disappears.

Hope this helps!

On Geto and 'femininity'

Okay so I saw bunch of discussions and discourse over Geto being presented as 'feminine' and female-coded and there are people who use that to headcanon a variety of things for Geto as a character.

I think Geto has been assigned a lot of tropes in-story that are associated with female characters. Some of it in good ways.....others in bad ways. But I will say, I don't think Geto on his own represents any kind of female struggle but is rather a gateway to explore and use tropes that are generally assigned to female characters.

The predominant tropes I think Geto fits are the Disposable Woman and the I Can Change My Beloved trope.

The first one is really obvious. The Disposable Woman exists to give a male character an emotional motive to go forward with a goal and the character serves no other greater purpose than that (I'll get back to the last part later). Hidden Inventory is a Gojo backstory, Geto's fall is a part of explaining Gojo's future entrapment and his motivation for becoming a teacher. We see Geto's downward spiral but at the end of the day this is primarily about Gojo.

more under the cut

Geto also literally gets used as an accessory for Gojo's character motivation by Kenjaku. It is blatantly stated in-text the only reason Geto's body is around again is to fuck with Gojo.

The second trope, is also pretty on the nose. The Hidden Inventory arc starts with Geto talking about how Gojo should protect the weak, he's always telling Gojo to do this or do that, speak more politely, don't look down on others, take care of yourself, let me help you, etc. And it works! He does change his 'beloved'.

But it's not just this.

In terms of character design, Geto is meant to be a pretty boy. He's more popular than Gojo, his attractiveness is what gets Manami and Larue interested in his ideology, his beauty and charm convinces even skeptics and it's to the point Gege constantly points it out in-text. His design also somewhat reflects that in a twisted way. His long hair, earrings and robes are actually supposed to be a false imitation of Buddha but they also serve to make him more stereotypically feminine.

He's also associated with the figure of a 'mother' through Nanako and Mimiko. In the anime, the scene where he's getting his hair combed is done so....delicately. You get lingering shots of his hair, his eyes, his hands and the way he sits. An untouchable, loving dream. Gojo also remembers him in this untouchable manner. Then there's the obvious, the worm inventory curse calling Geto mom and asking for a hug.

There's this amazing thread on twitter that goes into a lot of detail about how Geto's design and motives take a lot of inspiration from Kannon, who is the bodhisattva of compassion and mercy and is most often depicted as a woman.

And.....okay this third one is an exploitative, sensitiv trope but it exists nonetheless and can be applied to Geto. I don't know the exact name for it, but a lot of female characters get put through torturous, traumatic situations to fuel the male characters' anger. This violence is portrayed in a very indulgent manner, where the point of showing or depicting the assault/violence is not to show the extent of evil but to revel and take enjoyment in the suffering.

Kenjaku taking over Geto's body falls into that. It's not as gross and demeaning as it is with female characters(the aforementioned violence is prominently shown through sexual assault and taking away bodily autonomy), but Kenjaku openly flaunts his possession.

He rips off Geto's head, plays with his skull, uses all the skills and connections that come with his body in a flippant manner. It's clear he takes some kinda pleasure in possessing Geto's body(the way he's posing in the volume 16 cover is a pretty good example of that). NanaMimi point out how horrific it is when arguing with the cult family. Gojo's need to give Geto a proper burial and his horrified reaction also emphasizes this. Geto's possession and the hijacking of his body is violent and invasive.

Kenjaku's possessions are associated with assault and targeted violence against women. He experimented on a woman for the Death Paintings, he took over Yuji's mom and used her body, assaulting both Yuji's mom and his dad(yes yes it's possible he knew but still, the consent isn't there and as many jokes as the fandom makes about back shots or whatever, this is still sexual assault). Kenjaku specifically is a villain who exploits bodies and Geto is one of them.

This specific kind of deprivation of physical autonomy is experienced primarily by female characters.

So put that all together and you get what many assign as femininity or female-coding.

The problem is, Geto is given all the decidely BAD tropes associated with female characters. If Geto's character was a woman in JJK, I'd be appalled because this is just, so misogynistic to assign to a female character.

But this repulsion doesn't happen because of one very important thing; Geto's still written as a man and therefore has all the default privileges that come with it. Both in-story through character motivation and through Gege as a writer. Remember how I said the Disposable Woman serves no other purpose but to be the man's motive? Well this is where Geto diverges. Geto's given the trope but he is written with the defaults and privileges of a man.

We HAVE multiple other Disposable Women tropes in JJK! Tsumiki, Rika, Yuji's mom and most importantly, Megumi's mom.

MEGUMI'S MOM DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A NAME! Literally everyone calls her 'Mamaguro'. We know jack shit about her other than she was pretty, Toji loved her and she fixed Toji or something. There is all the chances in the world to give all of these characters more back story and motives but none of them get that. Hell, even alive female characters don't get nearly the same amount of exploration(Shoko was right there with Gojo and Geto but the focus on her is so little).

Geto got a whole five-episode arc half dedicated to him. There's also his attitude which is decidedly coming from an entitled place. He's absolutely sure of his strength, he doesn't even examine who or how he's assigning 'weakness'.

The women in JJK are a lot more 'selfish', and it's best explained by Nobara. There's only so much you can give of yourself, only so many people that you can let in because if you do more, you're dead. Itadori doesn't fully get this kinda thinking, he's trying to save and love everybody under the sun because he thinks he can afford to do that. Shoko also keeps a distance from Gojo and Geto. Women can't affor to overextend themselves and do whatever the fuck they want only because they have power because they're navigating the oppressiveness of the jujutsu society along with regular old patriarchy.

The women of JJK know that the patriarchal nature of the system is also responsible for how corrupt everything is. But Geto doesn't. He doesn't examine the system of jujutsu sorcerers in a nuanced manner and skips right to the curses.

Geto's femininity comes from a lot of tropes assigned to women but there isn't anything crucially feminine about any of the tropes. they're all overdone and often offensive, reductive stereotypes. But they're only reductive when employed with women because female characters who go through experiences like assault or parenthood are never given the time to be explored well.

For female characters, assault is considered a characteristic rather than a plot event that deeply affects them. On top of that, female characters are never anything beyond their traumas and the motives the provide for male characters.

Geto gets to skip all the bad parts and actually gets characterization, personal motives and is deeply flawed while being treated kindly by the writer. Which is why the things he does go through doesn't come off as offensive and ill thought-out. I think it's also why people assign him femininity and consider him to represent a female experience. Because he's the one character who is used to explore frequently awful female-assigned tropes in a somewhat respectful manner.

Again, the tropes do not define actual femininity. Being feminine or masculine is on a spectrum that is largely undefined and unclear. Geto's assignations are all happening in terms of fiction and in fiction, these tropes and appearances are assigned to the idea of a 'female' character.

Anyways that's my two cents, bye bye.
