Ough Lady Maria.

Ninjago has social media so why not share some headcanons

so I was chatting with a friend and this came up and I wanted to expand on it and talk about it

Basically... how the ninja interact with the canon social media. Yeah. Twitter- I mean Chirp... is a thing in Ninjago. Canonically. And then never brought up again. So uh

What better to do than explore how the Ninja's social media life is going in relation to them being celebrities. And then post it on a social media at 9 pm. Headcanons under the cutoff yayy

Ok so first off Cole because he started this mess and I want to get him out of the way because I want to get to the other's.

He's... I mean are we going to deny he's popular... He was kinda already a celebrity before becoming a Ninja thanks to his family history. Either way, he is very afraid of the omnipresent conglomorate known as a fanbase. They scare him so he just does not interact with them whatsoever, yet he still somehow manages to remain VERY popular with fans for... a variety of reasons... his lack of interaction means they feel like they can get away with a lot of things. Despite this Cole does still have exactly one active social media account and it is an anonymous (Insert Ninjagan equivalent to Instagram here) where he quite literally just posts art randomly and daily and says absolutely nothing. By anonymous, I mean he pretty much just has an online name and profile picture that he made up that has no connections to his personal life or being a ninja. The other Ninja are aware he has an art account, but not of the name or any other details, so they've made a secret game out of finding his social media identity. It remains yet to be found, which is either a relief, to Cole (though he isn't even aware of it) or sad, to the people who are betting on it.

Lloyd!! Little candy loving goblin man!!! Lloyd is awesome I want to draw him more often hhh

Lloyd kind of just talks about funny things, posts memes, and shares cool fanart. He tries to steer clear of negativity in general because good lord knows he's far too exhausted from his own trauma and stress to fight the internet. He just tries to turn a blind eye to stuff but he still gets caught up in the web that is social media sometimes, what with fame and all that, which often ends in him getting emotional. And subsequently having Kai offer to punch somebody. His socials are public but he doesn't advertise them much at all for the sake of a peaceful atmosphere, so he has like a decently small follower/sub/whatever count for how popular he is. His fanbase is pretty tame for the most part, though there are a few overbearing young children who don't quite understand things just yet.

Kai, the guy who made chirp canon by posting about being in the hospital and causing a break in that probably violated several laws and frightened the children.

... I mean it's kind of canon that he uses socials. Since he's likely one of the only two Ninja with public and advertised accounts, people flock to him a lot over that fact alone, so not all of them are necessarily there for Kai. He has a pretty dedicated fanbase of people who like him for his charm and personality, but he also has a few people who find him annoying and pretentious. Some people kinda don't mind him and just follow him for Ninja news or snippets in general, even though he doesn't just post about Ninja stuff. Since it's kind of hard to convey a personality in.. you know... text... unless you know someone REALLY well, he tends to have a bit of a divide in the community over how he comes off as arrogant or full of himself sometimes.

Nya our local girlboss who's movie counterpart rides a straight up motorcycle through hallways endangering hundreds of children- look I love Nya but principal where are you.

She does have a social, but she rarely uses it. When she logs in every month or so it mostly just consists of roasting Kai or answering curious fans. Despite this she does look at the fanbase every now and then because she finds it equally parts heartwarming and, when it comes to the idiots and trolls, amusing. She's pretty popular because of her general attitude and girlboss vibes.

Zane, robot man with infinite access to the entirety of the web.

So hear me out here... I don't think he has an actual social, but I think he edits wikipages. Like not fandom or anything just straight up Wikipedia. In every language. (or, well, regional dialect?) I know it's really specific but that just seems like something he'd enjoy. It's a secret hobby. He'll be up at night facing the wall in his bed, eyes open trying to finish this wiki article because new info about prehistoric dinosaurs and their connections to birds came out and he has to document it right now oh my god, and the others think he's just like asleep or smthn. It just makes him really happy. His fanbase isn't as large as the others, but he's still very well liked by the majority of the ninja fans, even though he rarely interacts with social media outside of interviews (because Jay is actively trying to stop him from getting anywhere close to it so that he doesn't have to explain certain things)

And last but not least... Jay... the social menace of the internet.

He's the second ninja with a public and well known account, and he's very popular. He talks about everything. Funny memes. Fanart. Silly thoughts. And he loves gossiping about the other's in good fun. His sole purpose is to entertain both others and himself, and he is very good at it, even online. He's also really involved in the community and likes giving shout outs to talented people and such. Being really involved also means he knows their secrets. He knows about the more sus parts of the fanbase. He knows about the secret Benedict cult. He knows about the real reason Cole and Nya are so popular. Sometimes, he'll deliberately mention these parts of the fanbase, randomly and oftentimes months apart, and just set the place ablaze because he finds it funny. Nowhere is safe from him and they all know it. It's become a meme at this point with some even people making up wacky conspiracy theories about him being omnipresent or the account being run by a robot with very well programmed bad jokes. But his sheer presence in the fandom and his personality makes him very popular. And the social he uses is probably YouTube, but he also streams sometimes. On YouTube. Not twitch. He never changed. Ever. The others love coming in during a stream and messing with him or teasing him in chat. Mostly Cole and Nya. They're subbed both to be supportive and so that they get the notification whenever he's live or uploads so that they can leave a comment. Because of course they would. Cole's YouTube account is the only account he ever uses that's public, and he made it for the sole purpose of teasing Jay. If that doesn't say best friends, then I don't know what does.

[popstart]

Am I the only one who feels like the way this fandom talks about female characters is always so like???? Omg girlboss but also a girlfailure I support women’s rights AND wrongs she was robbed!!!! Idk it’s always the same few phrases lol I don’t get it.

OHHHH I AGREE SO HARD💀 seeing the same 3 phrases used to describe the female characters bc they think its a diversity win. ok.

Female character is independent or strong etc -> omg shes suuuuch a girlboss teehee🙈 step on me. other weird and annoying sexual comments bc girlbossery is sexy (or something) and thats the only appeal female characters are allowed to have for a lot of people Female character is kinda cringe sometimes and doesnt succeed at everything -> omg my silly girlfaliure girlloser shes so sillystupid i love her Female character has dimension -> omg??? shes like a girlboss and a girlfaliure at the same time???

ignoring the fact i hate so many things about tacking on the prefix girl to random shit as something that feels like a negative connotation (or something degrading), there is 0 critical thinking people have for female characters and its like. ok man. people come up with 600 random headcanons and backstory elements for every single male character they like but designate the female characters they like to "oh ummm shes a girlboss so i like her😊" AWWEEESOMEEEEE. LOVE TO SEE IT🥴

and to people that dont see that or say that doesnt happen....... it does. i see it with my own eyeballs every damn day. eg; in fanon noah has 8 (or 9? i forget) girlboss sisters and is an expert hacker and speaks 300 languages and knows everything and makes 0 mistakes and is always calculated all the time and has 20 boyfriends while in canon he got kicked out of the opportunity of 100k dollars because he was reading and hates everyone and plays video games all day and is a massive schmuck for 1 single person that being emma. sorry noah fans thats just how it is. headcanons are fine but it gets to the point where its like hey guys what are we doing here.

and ok whatever. say we all stop talking about noah bc god knows he did nothing to deserve it. where do we go from there? the amount of people i see saying they wish there was more f/f in fandom they just dont wanna write it or people that say they wish they wrote f/f more its just too hard has me :I i think it really just proves how little fanon there is for female characters. since generally fanon is what fandom bases its fanfiction and general characterization on and f/f famously contains only women, it makes sense that if its "hard" to write for f/f pairings it means that people just dont care enough about the women to make wide spread fandom interpretations of them.

and it reaaaaaally sucks. total drama has what i consider a pretty good cast of diverse female characters. And sure, a lot of the time the show doesnt do them justice (they were robbed as many many MANY people say) but a lot of them have so much potential and all of them have at least SOME potential. but ofc, due to how theyre treated in the fandom, no one really cares about them outside of them being paired up with men. and even worse, people will just straight ignore them outright a lot of the time because they 'get in the way of their mlm ship' or some bs.

am i saying its inherently misogynistic to write mlm ships? HELLLLLL no. im just saying that the heavy apathy or visceral anger many many many female characters get unless theyre paired up with a man or because they 'get in the way of' a mans love for another man is quite frankly laughable when you consider what actually goes on in the show. this shit was made for kids, these people are kids. its just so weird just how obsessed people can be with a fictional character to the point of these overblown reactions to other characters of the same god damn show

[somerandomcryptid]

More Dream&Cryptid in smp interaction (this is actually just a later part of the bit of conversation I posted yesterday)

they are very healthy and normal and Dream is not a paranoid possessive mess, nope, definitely not

He has no problems with Cryptid having other friend :), not at all

Ok now that I'm done being sarcastic I can ramble about them more, also explain the Tommy thing a bit since I have yet to properly draw him for this au

Basically long story short, Tommy's one of the people on the smp who adopted Cryptid as their sibling

Cryptid made a run away attempt on their first night in the smp and ran into him and Ghostbur (who they are also close with!)

And they've been friends ever since, despite having their rough patches due to their clash of morals and personality (Tommy keeps swearing he doesn't actually care about them, he does, he very much does)

It's actually on the day that Cryptid runs into Techno that Cryptid aquires some of his wardrobe, they forgot to bring a jacket, so Tommy gives them his sweater(which is way too big for them) and just kind of never asks for it back, the bandana was specifically given though, it's a match of the one he had back in the day before he and Tubbo swapped bandanas some time in the L'manburg independence war

Cryptid wears the sweater often(despite it being too big for them) and they barely take off the bandana, it's comfy what can they say?

This... pisses of Dream quite a bit

He wouldn't like seeing them in any of his enemies clothes, but he especially hates that they're Tommy's

And for Cryptid, Cryptid thinks sides are bullshit in general, everyone's just people why do they have to pick a side when both are right and both are wrong at the same time? They'll just be friends with whoever they damn well like thank you very much

Dream absolutely does not think that way, and to him, them being friends with Tommy means they're abandoning him in the process

And it's Tommy, Tommy of all people, he made this server hell and then he just gets to steal his friends and leave him to rot alone? And be hailed as a "hero"? It's all bullshit to him, and he is absolutely not letting him "take" his sibling, no fucking way, they're good, they want what he wants, a world of peace, Tommy doesn't just get to take them and fuck everything up all over again, to make them just as chaotic as himself

If you cannot tell, Dream's mindset is very very unhealthy, and Cryptid's own agency is not a thing that pops up in there a whole lot at this point in story

He does basically everything he can to isolate them from people that are not him and his allies, he also does a similar thing with Wren, but that's more a matter of making sure that Wren will not meet anyone on the smp in a at all friendly way unless he wants her to be friends with them

Wren's harder to control though, Dream knows that he can guilt trip gaslight girlboss Cryptid into doing or not doing things if he tries hard enough, but Wren actually has enough of a backbone to call him out if he tried anything like that on her

So he tries to manipulate the situation more than her directly

I think that's all the rambling that I have for now, I was absolutely not kidding when I said I was going to make him a gigantic bastard, he has a lot of issues, a lot of issues

Also in this comic is what I was talking about when I said he moves Cryptid manually a lot, he tilts their head to him, pulls them onto their tips toes, pulls them against him, over all he's just very... Touchy.. in a very platonic way(obviously), but touchy none the less, it's often on the gentler side, but sometimes it's definitely closer to manhandling

Anyway now I'm actually done, I have so many thoughts about all my blorbos though, it's very hard to shut up :p

summary of the order: Donut(fluff) water(gn reader) honey(oneshot)

[note]: none

3rd person POV

as you were walking up the stairs towards katheryn to accept more commissions ''Ad Astra Abyssosque, welcome to the adventurers guild [name], here to accept more commission i assume?'' katheryn asked. you nodded quite excitedly, before katheryn turned around to get the list of commission you asked a question ''h-hey katheryn w-would you m-mind giving m-me more co-commission with int-interacting with more pe-people?'' you stuttered out, katheryn nodded and handed you your commission for the day ''well, here they are [name] goodluck and Ad Astra  Abyssosque'' she said before waving goodbye

[name] POV

as i looked at the first commissions in the list, it said 'help organize the wine at dawn winery' i suddenly regretted what i said to katheryn, master diluc was scary, everytime you helped employee's organize the barrel's he looked at you with a face that looked like he hated your whole existence so it's always scary when i go to dawn winery unless i go with someone im comfortable with like xiao and the traveller but since xiao was busy killing demons and lumine(imma make the traveller lumine cause #girlboss) being in inazuma i had to go to the winery alone...what am i going to do, i guess i can do it alone

~when you arrive at dawn winery~

3rd POV

welp here you are standing in front of the mansion, as you were walking to the front door,when suddenly someone touched my shoulder so you quickly turned around and you felt your soul leave your body, it was master diluc looking at you like a parasite ''well what are you doing here?'' diluc asked you while you were having a small panic attack on what to do when you suddenly blurted out

''i-im h-here to help y-you organize t-the wine''

diluc POV

hmm these grapes aren't ripe enough yet to be made into juice , why are these taking more longer then the other ones, huh it's that girl from liyue again what's she doing here again? ''well what are you doing here?" as they panicked to say an answer, ''i-im h-here to help y-you organize t-the wine''they stuttered out an answer ''oh well i'll lead you to the wine cellar'' i said beckoning for them to follow.

~after you finish organizing the wine cellar~

no ones pov

as you walked back to wangshu inn you looked back on what the commissions were today, first was *help organize the wine cellar at dawn winery* which wasn't all that bad as you soon realized that diluc did not hate your existence but juet looked at you with curiosity since you were always trembling . The second commission was * help flora gather flowers* not to hard as you interact quite better with children, the third commission was easy as well you just had to cook mondstat food-.

Before you could finish your inner monologue someone bumped into you, you looked up and saw 3 guys looking at you "oh? And whats a cutie like you doing walking around by yourself?" The first guy said but loud enough so you could hear it "i-im g-going to wangshu inn" you responded with a whisper " well why don't we come with you" the 3 men look at each other with mischievous smirks and roughly grabbed your wrist" um n-no need my b-boyfriend will be w-with me" you whimpered as the first men held your wrist roughly, you suddenly remember what xiao said 'if death comes knocking at your door, call my name, adeptus xiao' you needed help "x-xiao" you whimpered as the men who grabbed your hand suddenly tightened it when he heard his name "huh? What did y-"

"Let go of them"

The man was frightened when he felt something sharp on his neck, you slightly opened your eyes as ypu no longer felt a grip on your wrist. "Go. Unless you want things to get ugly." Xiao ordered, The other two men ran away.

"...are you alright?" Xiao questioned as he was you lightly rubbing your wrist "i'm okay, the only grabbed my wrist, other then that i'm okay'' you answered "let's go back, it's dangerous out here at night" he proposed "but.. my commis-" you were cut off when you both teleported back to your room at wangshu inn "just finish your commission tomorrow....I'll help you with it" xiao insisted, he had his back turned to you but you could slightly see a faint hue of red on his cheeks "really? I'm glad your coming with me xiao" you agreed on his idea "...you should rest now, it's almost midnight, mortals should sleep by now" xiao turned to you but had his head slightly turned

You slowly laid down on your mattress. You feel as your as getting more and more heavy. "Xiao, will you stay here for a beit longer?" You whispered, you didn't hear his response as you fell asleep.

"You don't have to ask me to stay with you, ill stay and protect you as long as you live." He held your hand to his cheek as he stays with you until you wake up.

Thank you note: I FINALLY FINISHED THIS AFTER A YEAR IN MY DRAFTS😭😭 THANK THE ARCHONS I HAD THE MOTIVATION TO FINISH THIS. Anyways ill probably be doing my other drafts, also this took to long because i lost my note book with the whole story written out (my skz photo cards😭😭😭) hope you enjoyed stay tuned for more updates😘

[buried-stars]

👀👀 rubbing my gay little hands together... 001 + bstars, 002 + shinjiham, 003 + franziska :3 ily

oh god oh fuck (under cut for length lol)

bstars

Favourite character: i love basically everyone but juyoung min i can never forget you

Least Favourite character: FUCK SEUNGYEON WE ALL HATE SEUNGYEON

5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): gyu-hyuk/do-yoon, inha/juyoung. that's it. unless you want to see me be really insane.

Character I find most attractive: juyoung

Character I would marry: ...see above

Character I would be best friends with: either inha or do-yoon

A random thought: hyesung definitely would wear heelies

An unpopular opinion: rash verdict is not a happy ending <3

My canon OTP: dont make me choose. gyuyoon & minnow are both basically canon

Non-canon OTP: seil/tae-yeon

Most badass character: inha and juyoung <3 they can girlboss without risking getting too close to the sun

Pairing I am not a fan of: any m/f pair or seil/hyesung

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): actually i don't think any of the characters apply here. like seungyeon sucks but she's supposed to

Favourite friendship: gyu & juyoung or do-yoon & inha. bestie squad

shinjiham

when or if I started shipping it: honestly it wasn't until i played p3p about a year ago where i decided to romance shinji on a whim and it changed my brain chemistry

my thoughts: when you're both doomed by the narrative but you're also desperate for human connection... choosing to love someone you know is on borrowed time... fighting for the sake of someone you may never see again... augh. augh. my heart.

What makes me happy about them: i like to think about them cooking together and minako sneaking scraps to koromaru when she thinks shinji's not looking

What makes me sad about them: what DOESN'T make me sad about them. how many ships do you get where they can BOTH die in the others arms.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: look i don't CARE that kotone is her canon name she'll always be minako arisato to me

Things I look for in fanfic: ....i'll read anything once! that's the life i live!

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: i'm not into any other shinji pairs but minako "patron saint of bisexuality" could easily go for aigis, yukari, akihiko, mitsuru, saori, rio...

My happily ever after for them: *smiles through my tears* very funny

franziska

How I feel about this character: ive adored her forever and i think she's really funny. her "little brother" is 7 years older than her. that's hysterical. when you're both traumatized but one of you hasn't figured that out yet

All the people I ship romantically with this character: it's literally just adrian

My non-romantic OTP for this character: i mean von karma siblings forever and ever they make me bawl. otherwise i like to think of her as being trucy's doting aunt and it confuses the hell out of phoenix bc he's never seen her be nice before

My unpopular opinion about this character: idk aside from being a frnmy hater i dont think there's anything i outright dislike about most interpretations of her...? i mean i think she doesnt go quite as hard on the fool/whip thing as an adult but idk

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I WISH THEY'D LET HER OUT OF THE BASEMENT I MISS HER SO BAD also she deserved more specific dev. she was robbed.

My OTP: fradrian FOREVER <3

My OT3: n/a

I have been wondering a lot lately how many people in Taylor's life actually stand up to her and tell her I think you did a mistake, I think you could have done this better. For her sake I do hope she has them, because I cannot imagine how insufferable one person would be if everyone in her life acts like a fan and treats everything she does has the next big thing. Like how do you evolve as a person if you don't have anyone pushing you to do better?

I mean Andrea and Scott did that when she was younger and obviously still do on business decisions - whether she listens or not now idk but I think they do say when they disagree and she does hear them out - but Andrea’s blood sister is just shy of like us needing to ask where tf she was on January 6th lol and they’re all close af and Scott is a hectic fiscal Republican so I don’t know that anyone challenges her on sociopolitical issues. Joe prob did a bit (no, previous anon - you absolute fucking moron, I don’t think a private school upper middle class white boy from North London who spent 6.5 years flying around on private jets is the wokest white man ever or even in like the top 50% of them lol but I think as someone who was raised in a Labour voting family with political relatives, a feminist mother and an activism adjacent father, and having gone to liberal unis for liberal arts degrees, he is probably more “woke” than 99% of the people Taylor regularly talks to, which is a judgment on Taylor and her social circle not a compliment to Joe lol). Travis might also challenge her when he stops thinking the sun shines out her ass quite as hard as he does rn due to his honeymoon goggles on. I think let’s hope she keeps dating guys with decent politics and they can sorta encourage her to be a bit better lol because I do honestly think that unless you’re sticking her dick in her she doesn’t give a fuck what you think lol. She’s too girlboss for that.

[aquaaquila]

THIS!!! THANK YOU!

Like you have no idea how long it bugged me with this headcanon. People be saying that those 2 either have "rivalry" or just bicket, bit no. Amity in facts bullies Hunter in the fanworks and pretty much has beef with him. And those who def3nd this headcanon by precisely calling it rivalry or bicketing completely miss the point and deflect how much shot they let fanon Amity get away with.

I will build on more on what you wrote as I've seen Atla (though don't worry, I won't spoil anything, just call out the BS) and have my own thing to say.

What people like to cling in general when it comes to this headcanon is Amity's animosity that originated from her animosity towards Hunter in EL BEFORE they battled. Amity this entire episode distrusted Hunter and shut down any idea that they could cooperate. Notice how Hunter rarely ever truly hates Amity in return and more than often it's simply just redirecting the same thing Amity directs towards him rather than Hunter having any genuine reason to also not like Amity.

And I mention this specifically because people call them rivals, but a true rivalry should be mutual, as one-sided one is really just jealousy. And Amity being jealous of Hunter is hardly the intention people think they're going for, but it is pretty much the reason why people think Amity would have hard time trusting Hunter. But a girlfriend being jealous of her partner's "brother" is pretty crazy and not a good look on a girlfriend unless people have guts to admit that Hunter is not Luz's brother and Amity in general feels threatened (which makes the headcanon even worse and I doubt anyone truly wants to admit that, but that might be a dark truth hidden under the surface of it all).

Another thing I want to mention is Atla comparison. I will just drop names here instead of explaining in detail who the characters are to not spoiling it too much. Amity is always compared to Katara while Hunter is always compared to Zuko whenever this headcanon shows up. And while the show is not afraid to give Atla a shoutout and I'm sure EL does serve that, it still is a shoutout and not a parallel. At most it's a reference that is only surface level instead of real comparison as Amity resembles Zuko more than Katara (when her connection to Katara pretty much started existing only in EL) while Hunter as a character has more in common in depth with characters like Azula, Sokka, or Toph.

Quite ironically, if Amity were to ever treat Hunter the way her fanon version does, Willow who's the closest to Katara out of the entire Hexsquad would in fact be the one to put Amity in her place. A side note is that Hunter in canon was given a distrust and a cold shoulder "Katara style" but it wasn't Amity who gave him that but Gus, and honestly as he should as while Amity was a newcomer, Gus much like Katara was part of the official lineup of the gang, wanting to protect them after dealing with the BS Hunter put them through.

Now you did mention before that Amity being protective of Luz is fine, with which I agree, but I disagree the extent Amity is willing to go. Murder is not a good response to deal with someone trying to UPSET Luz. If you have like Belos who truly tries to end Luz's life, Amity is justified to kill to protect her girlfriend, but if Luz is facing an invonvenience, killing it is not the answer. It doesn't make Amity a girlboss for doing so, it makes her a Yandere, which isn't cute or funny or ok at all. Amity acting like this especially towards Hunter is toxic and goes agsinst what her character arc stands for.

In conclusion: this headcanon regresses Amity's character and is based on both misconception and a buried bias and questionable morals and people mindlessly subscribing to it should give themselves a minute to check their priorities as while having any headcanons you want is ok, it's not ok if those headcanons do come from a place of harm, when that fun should be harmless, but it won't be if people won't be sincere and reasonable.

Why I LOATHE The "Amity Hates Hunter" Headcanon

In the TOH fandom, there's a certain headcanon that's been floating around in the community. You've probably seen a fan comic or two about and even an animatic video, that being, the "Amity hates Hunter" headcanon. After analyzing the show further and gaining a better appreciation for it, I can safely say that this headcanon absolutely sucks. Now there's nothing wrong with people having headcanons or anything, you can headcanon whatever the hell you want, but I really feel that this headcanon in particular spreads a really bad misconception about Amity and Hunter's relationship and kind of misses the thing the show is going for. So in this post, I'm going to analyze this headcanon and why it just. Does not work.

1. What Is The Premise of The Headcanon?

Before I dissect this headcanon let's first establish what this headcanon is about. Basically, the premise of the headcanon is that Amity doesn't fully trust Hunter after his redemption since she hasn't forgotten about the time he threatened Luz's life so he could get the titan blood key from her, and so she still dislikes him and hasn't bought his change yet. She would be more skeptical of him, basically.

Alright, so now we've established what the headcanon is based on, let's now get into the real meat of why this headcanon doesn't work. I'm going to talk about Eclipse Lake, Any Sport in A Storm and Labyrinth Runners and analyze each episode in terms of how they demonstrate why Amity wouldn't hate Hunter.

2. Eclipse Lake

Eclipse Lake seems to be an episode that is heavily misunderstood by the "Amity hates Hunter" crowd to me, as some people seem to forget certain things about Amity and Hunter's relationship here and ONLY focus on Hunter threatening Luz to Amity's face. This is where I bring up my first major point here; that being, Amity relates to Hunter. Amity and Hunter are directly meant to be parallels to each other, and Eclipse Lake does pretty clearly show that. Hunter throughout the whole episode basically does a "you and me are not so different" thing with Amity, with how they both have to live up to the standards of the people they care about and are afraid of disappointing them, and eventually, when Amity sees Hunter literally dig his own grave, Amity realizes that he is right, they are both kids held up to high standards by their shitty parents that they are afraid of not meeting.

And THIS is what people often miss here; Amity relates to Hunter. She's been in the same position and circumstances as him - after all, she knows exactly what it's like to have shitty parents, so she would empathize with him given their similar circumstances. And this could also mean that Amity would realize that Hunter, in some way, is being abused by Belos - which again, she would empathize with given she used to be in similar circumstances to him. She wouldn't hate Hunter, she would empathize with him because she sees herself in him, she knows what it's like to be in his position, to have parents who force you under pressure to meet high standards that you may struggle to meet.

Then we get to the moment that kickstarts this headcanon - Amity giving Hunter a hand in friendship, only for Hunter to betray her trust after he notices the titan blood key, and then threatens Luz's life in front of Amity so she could give him the titan blood key. After that, Hunter flies away with Amity having a disappointed expression on her face while she looks at him. I think some people tend to misunderstand this moment too - now, do I think Amity would trust Hunter after this? Not exactly, but that's until we get to...

3. Any Sport in A Storm & Labyrinth Runners

I'm gonna cover Any Sport in A Storm quickly since there isn't much to say, but it and Labyrinth Runners support my second major argument here; Amity doesn't have a reason to hold Hunter's past actions against him anymore. In Any Sport in A Storm, Hunter disobeys a command he was given by Darius just so he could protect his friends and fix his mistake, and at the end of the episode Willow shows Luz and Amity a group picture of the emerald entrails, ofc they see Hunter in the pic and they gasp and the episode just kinda ends after that.

Now, after Eclipse Lake, it is correct to assume that Amity wouldn't trust Hunter, though she could still heavily see herself in him and relate to his situation. But now in Any Sport, Amity is just given the information that Hunter disobeyed an order he was given and went out of his way to protect his friends, we don't know the exact conversation that happened after that moment but it's still a sign to Amity that Hunter's making a turnaround. "But Hunter kidnapped Amity's friends!" Why yes, he did, but he also went out of his way to fix his mistake and again, disobeyed an order he was given which would have risked his position in the EC. I don't think the other characters, including Amity, wouldn't factor that in. So while Amity still wouldn't fully trust Hunter - she would still see some signs that he is making a turnaround.

Then comes Labyrinth Runners. Now, I want you to pay attention to what Hunter does in this episode, because it illustrates my point of why Amity wouldn't hold any of Hunter's past actions against him anymore. In Labyrinth Runners, he...

Saves Gus from Adrian

Helps save the school

Gives clear information on what's going to happen on the day of unity

I think what Hunter does in Labyrinth Runners does make up for his past actions, which keep in mind aren't the worst things characters in this show have done (Cough Cough Lilith kidnapping and almost killing Luz in her battle with Eda Cough Cough, Amity almost getting Luz dissected Cough Cough), and so it wouldn't be out of character for Amity to trust him, especially when he saved Gus, aka, one of Amity's friends. This combined with the past stuff I mentioned about how Amity sees herself and relates to Hunter AND how Amity could just see Hunter as someone who was just lied to and manipulated by Belos which, I'm pretty sure the whole hexsquad would see him like that, means that Amity doesn't have much of a reason to be an ass to Hunter.

He's fully proved he's trustworthy, the others trust him, and so would Amity. I think it's also worth pointing out that, I don't think Amity would blame Hunter for what he did in Eclipse Lake. She knows why he did what he did, and again, she's been in the same circumstances as he was; I don't think she would blame Hunter for being desperate to gain his abusive parent's approval to meet his expectations since she was in the same position too.

So, in conclusion, Amity wouldn't hold any of Hunter's past actions against him, she doesn't have much of a reason to do so, since now he's proven himself trustworthy. However, a lot of people tend to ignore all of the stuff I just mentioned, and they create fanworks where Amity threatens Hunter in some way, which leads to a certain thing about this headcanon that pisses me off...

4. It Makes Amity into an Asshole

I think this is my biggest issue with how the fandom often characterizes Amity and Hunter's relationship; Amity just becomes an unlikeable asshole in all fanworks that spread the "Amity hates Hunter" headcanon. I am not going to name any examples here because you've probably already seen at least one fan work portraying Amity this way. Fanworks like these tend to ignore all the stuff I previously said in the last two sections and have Amity be an asshole to Hunter, which actually VERY OOC for her.

As if these works try to portray Amity as some kind of girl boss who "Is so protective of her girlfriend and will murder anyone who tries to harm her!", which is fine until you factor in all the outside context, once you do, Amity doesn't come across as a protective girlfriend in these fan works, she comes across as an asshole bullying an abusive victim when she has NO REASON to. Amity isn't a girl boss in these fanworks, she has no reason to treat Hunter like this for the reasons I already mentioned, yet people ignore ALL OF THAT in favor of Amity threatening Hunter cuz it makes her "cool" I guess.

Amity would be the first person to understand Hunter's situation and why he did what he did - she's been in the same position as him, and now, when he's proven that he's trustworthy to her, why should she be an ass to him? Do you see why it's annoying how OOC Amity is made in these fanworks? Really, this headcanon should just be called "Amity bullies Hunter" because that's what it is, Amity being an asshole to an abuse victim when she has no reason for doing so. I don't mind the idea of Amity being a protective girlfriend for Luz, it makes sense for her character, but when it comes to Hunter the fandom flanderizes it to an absurd degree.

5. Conclusion

I could talk about this longer and mention how this headcanon was basically formed from nothing but avatar comparisons and nothing else but I haven't seen Avatar yet so I can't really comment on that. Besides this post getting long enough already (I saw when I've made far longer essays on the internet). In conclusion; Amity wouldn't hate Hunter. Not in the slightest. This idea thankfully is starting to become abandoned by the fandom with more people recognizing that it is just. Does not work. And while that's nice I still kinda thought it was time for someone to fully analyze why this headcanon does not work (and that person was me babeeeeeeeey). So uh ya....bye.

HOLLYBERRY COOKIE GENERAL YANDERE HCS.

requested by: @funkysaturn ! tysm for requesting!!

reader is gender-neutral!!

the great hollyberry cookie has arrived!

and holy fucking shit is she infatuated with you!

honestly i think it'd be easier for hollyberry to fall in love w you if you lived in the hollyberry kingdom. for example, maybe you're a servant who works in the hollyberry palace!

you're so hard-working and kind-hearted! thanks to you, the castle is always bright and clean!

she has taken such a liking to you, that she decided to invite you to live in one of the room of the palace!! so you're always close to her <3

hollyberry thinks that you're just the most adorable cookie a witch could've ever baked.

to her, the glint of amazement that's always so bright in your eyes whenever she tells you another one of her legendary tales is simply the best thing in the world!

during each dinner, hollyberry and you literally spend more time discussing her many, many adventures and stories than anything else. most of the time, before you even know it, it's already midnight, everyone else is gone, and yet you're still talking with hollyberry.

in her mind, no matter your rarity, you're a cookie she simply must protect. you might even be a fellow ancient, but even then, she still sees you as a tiny little thing that can't defend itself.

so, in order to protect you, she either follows you around- or drag you with her, unless it's a dangerous mission. in this case, she'll probably leave you with her granddaughters, princess and tiger lily, or with another ancient.

she also doesn't let you go too far away from the hollyberry palace. going in the cranberry forest alone is strictly forbidden— it's too dangerous, what if you crumble and she's not here to help you?!

the only time you get to go there, is with hollyberry herself. and she's always protecting you with her shield, even when there's quite literally nothing that could possibly hurt you around.

hollyberry doesn't get jealous very often. i don't really know why,, but i don't see her as the "very jealous" type. since you spend most, if not all of your time in the hollyberry palace, either cleaning around or with her, most of the people you interact with are either her family, or friends. she trusts them not to hurt you or take you away from her.

kidnapping you?? why would hollyberry ever kidnap you?? you're already at home is in the hollyberry palace, with her! she has absolutely no reason to kidnap you!

even if, for example, you wanted to go and explore the rest of earth bread, hollyberry will manage to keep you here, simply by manipulating you.

“isn't the hollyberry palace enough for you?” “am i not enough for you?”

her words enter your brain, you're convinced, and while her words make you feel guilty as hell, hollyberry just gives you a huge grin while telling you that she just wants you to be safe.

hollyberry believes there's nothing harder than trust. she genuinely trusts you, so please, please don't break her trust..!

overall, i see hollyberry cookie as a more "harmless" yandere. she would never physically hurt you, nor would she hurt anyone else!! but she'd be guilt-trippy as hell, while also being threatening to anyone who'd try to woo you, that's for sure.

weeee done!! i hope my hcs aren't too bad and you liked them!! i loved writing for the girlboss <333

want to request? click here before requesting please!

[eluxcastar]

Hi! I love you work. I was wondering if I could request a Ky Luc,Urd and Ferid headcannon/oneshot. Something angsty and fluff

General relationship headcanons.

FEATURES: ky luc, ferid bathory

CW: none (no more gaslight gatekeep girlboss)

WC: 900

NOTES: thank you (^o^) I actually started writing some headcanons like this for Urd already, so I’ll do his part in a separate post shortly (ﾟ▽ﾟ*) I hope that isn’t too troublesome (；´д｀)ゞ

when it came to Ferid, my mind landed on a more playful person. Someone who, in response to his antics, plays his own games right back at him so I guess this kinda doubles as Ferid with a teasing s/o?

another Ferid request after this one. He, Ky and Urd seem popular on my blog, not that I’m complaining. I love the Progenitors.

ky luc

Ky is somewhat hard to think of ideas for, I like to think his love language would be physical touch of some kind.

He can be clingy at times, in a constant state of touch starvation that drives him to find any possible excuse to have his hands on you. He wants you to do it back, of course. Something gentle, affectionate, anything loving and warm to the touch. It doesn’t matter where, it doesn’t matter when. He’d kiss you in public if it pleased him.

He’d probably like a s/o he can tease or banter back and fourth with always playfully. A certain type of coy way to say how much he loves you, as if to say that he feels comfortable enough to know that you can seem to playfully jab at each other without starting a fight over it.

Unless you do fight over it sometimes, then maybe you do have some making out up to do.

Ky would be fond of pet names, keeping a few of them to switch through every once and a while. Love, baby, angel, anything that comes to mind.

He’d prefer someone to match his energy, though if you don’t at first he’s happy to build you up to being a little more adventurous. Only if you’re willing, though. Pace doesn’t matter; take it slow or jump right in—he can work with either.

Ky is good at reading you and gets better the longer you’re together. He always seems to know how to cheer you up, hugs or forehead hisses, he'd probably sit you down in his lap and hold you in his arms until you feel better.

Unfortunately, being Urd’s second hand makes him busy a lot of the time, it’s why he prefers to have a s/o who matches his energy. If his s/o happens to be a Vampire (whether before the relationship or as a result of it), he can maybe work his way around to convincing Urd to let you come with him.

He likes it when he can give you some chance to have fun with him, it keeps him entertained by you. In an odd sort of way, competency is attractive to him. Like he can look at you and wonder to himself about how lucky he is to have a s/o so cool. It doesn’t have to be something violent either, any skill you have is something he would adore.

Though Ky is very fond of keeping you safe, though he doesn’t say it outright. He tends to keep how soft he can get over you to himself, he only let’s his guard down on it when he’s alone with you.

ferid bathory

You’d definitely have to be able to keep up with him, probably someone rather attuned to the type of games he’s fond of if not someone equally as much a trickster.

Unlike Ky he doesn’t mind if you’re a little slower to catch up, he doesn’t require someone to match his energy quite as much, just be able to keep up with his.

Ferid using your name is a rare sight, he’d probably only do it if he’s really mad, not even in an entertained sort of way. Otherwise, he’d call you his angel. You don’t have to like it. He does, that’s what matters.

In a way, he’d see you more an entertainment than his equal, but if you entertain him for long enough, who knows?

That is assuming that you don’t play his game right back at him for a taste of his own medicine, someone who keeps him on his feet like that could take his heart on a silver platter.

You’d probably annoy the hell out of everyone together—partners in crime, if you would. It’s your way of bonding together, like a date in your own wonderfully strange way. Why go somewhere nice when you could be making Crowley and Mika’s lives hell?

That's only if you’re not too busy trying to fool each other. It’s like one elaborate prank war that gets in everyone’s way constantly. They may hate it, but it sure keeps your relationship running smoothly and most importantly appears to keep Ferid out of their business.

Ehh, you know that’s never actually happening, the one time you can put your antics to rest is when you two get in everyone’s business. Nobody is safe.

The amount of times he’s had you caught snooping through Crowley’s things is concerning and it was probably all because of a dare. If you’re lucky you could maybe slip something interesting past him after making some whimsical excuse up because if you were waiting for Ferid to come bail you out, you can consider your stint there a sleepover.

He’s maybe more adept to holding you in his arms when you get sad over something, stroking your hair to cheer you up. He needs his little troublemaker back with him, especially when your mood clearly reflects back on him due to the fact it makes him realise how much he’s come to love your mutual love for causing chaos.

He definitely lets you pick out which bow to put in his hair each day, you can even tie his hair up for him if you want. It would only be a problem if he thinks you’re bad at it.

headcanon-request about female hajime and/or female izuru on how they'd be with their lover/ s/o :D thanks in advance!

Dating Headcanons for Female Hajime and Izuru

eeeeeeeeeee first time doing a genderbend uwu

Hajime Hinata

•A female Hajime is still a tsundere Hajime. She would still be very kind to others though. Her personality would still be the same... well almost all of it anyway. But it's still Hajimeme.

•She'd be very sweet, but she won't realize that she's doing it. It's kind of a habit for her to do that to her S/O.

•Defends you when someone is causing harm to you. So people wouldn't expect her to step up first because of her feminine appearance. She's a total girlboss.

•Frequent dates when she has nothing to do.

•She secretly likes her hand being held while walking, but will speak nothing of it. She's too shy.

•When she's jealous, she won't show any obvious signs. Will not tell you unless you force her to. So one hint: she will puff her cheeks almost after every conversation with you.

•She doesn't know what gifts to give you, so she either picks something at random and hope you'll like it, or ask advice from people who have absolutely no idea about this subject.

•Calls you pet names. But only in private because she's too shy. Don't get her wrong though, she's still proud to have you as a S/O.

Izuru Kamukura

•Izuru is still Izuru, but softer. Because she has an S/O now! Other people would notice the change in her personality since you two dated. No one would mention it to her though. They'd just get dismissed for that matter.

•Very defensive girlfriend. Overprotective. She speaks for you before you could speak to the person talking to you.

•She might appear very apathetic, but she actually cares about you a lot. You see the emotionless but soft face of her when she worries about you. She'd try her best to make you worries go away. Pro tip: convince her to cuddle.

•You think Izuru would be less romantic, but she's actually quite romantic. And just like Hajime, she's not aware that what she's doing is romance. She might try hard on being sweet sometimes and it all just ends up as a fail. She's better off not trying.

•Not a frequent kisser, but is really good at it. Izuru Kamukura, the ultimate kisser.

•She's sure to marry someone once they dated her. She just picks what's finest in her eyes, after all. So she wouldn't think twice of marrying them.

•Likes cuddles very much. So sometimes, she'd just pull you into her arms and impromptu cuddle. Talks about random things and tells you how much she appreciates you being there for her.

•Sadly doesn't call you any nicknames, but do know that she treasures you very much.

This was fun to do! Thank you for requesting!

The Fun Part (Tma Analysis)

Heyo! Here's the part two to This, using the data from Here.  

Now in part one I give some of my rationalisation as to why certain Entities show up in statements less often than others.  

In this one I’ll just be pointing out some interesting things in what the numbers say and/or some rationalization for weird numbers or sometimes just making up a in universe reason for some of Jonny’s writing quirks (Like how if you look at the numbers Jonny just finds ideas for Hunt episodes harder to think of) 

Im gonna be breaking this down into seasons 

Season 1

In Season 1 the most frequent entities are The Corruption and The Stranger (8 episodes each).  

Both of these make sense.  The main antagonist of Season 1 is Jane Prentis and having looked at all the Stranger episodes* it is quite clear that it is Jonny setting up for future arcs and plotlines.  But that's the boring reason. The fun reason is that The Corruption is ready to perform its ritual and The Stranger is busy setting up for their own ritual and as a result there are plenty of statements within easy reach of Jonathan Sims for these two entities in particular, with two to four times the number of statements of the other entities.  

Other notable entities are The Spiral and The Flesh.  

Mostly just because they each get a couple more entities than is the usual as ten of the fifteen entities have between two to four episodes.  The Spiral gets a bit of a boost from Micheal popping up every now and then and that works for me.  The Flesh is a bit weirder I can't really think of a writing reason for it all I can say is that they tend to be quite striking and it's quite clear Jonny had a lot of fun with them and honestly that's fair.  But again, boring.  One reason could be that as mentioned in the other post there is a bit of a requirement for a statement giver notably they need to be desperate enough and you know still alive to go to the Archives, and these statements** are quite obvious as The Flesh has no patience for subtlety, but still enjoys the act of delaying the suffering.  

And the final segment “What's the Eye Doing?”

The reason i'm including this is because Ive noticed that the Eye is strange in that it is the most popular entity over all of the show but is not the most frequent in most of the seasons.  So Im just gonna keep an eye on it.  

The Eye shows up in three episodes: 12 First Aid, 23 Schwartzwald and 40 Human Remains,  and of these only really the Mag 23 is the only real statement about it I just find this interesting no real notes about it though.  

*1 Angler Fish, 2 Do Not Open, 3 Across The Street, 24 Strange Music, 28 Skin Tight, 34 Anatomy Class, 39 Infestation, 40 Human Remains

** 5 Thrown away, 14 Piecemeal,  17 The Boneturner's Tale, 18 The Man Upstairs, 20 Desecrated host, 30 Killing Floor

Season 2

Now sure this season has three entities (The Stranger, The Buried and The Spiral) that have more episodes than the others and I will talk about them but what stands out more than anything else is just how spread out it is. I mean with the exception of those three and the Extinction the rest have between two to four with half of them having four and Hell even The Extincion gets one.  This is by far the most fair the spread ever gets.  Here’s the spread:

6: Stranger, Buried, Spiral

4: Desolation, Dark, End, Web, Eye

3: Vast, Flesh, Corruption

2: Hunt, Slaughter, Lonely

1: Extinction

So Why the Stranger, Buried and Spiral

Again the Stranger is being set up for season three and are working on their ritual, not to mention the presence of NotSasha gives a sizable boost.  The Spiral is a bit stranger but at this point Micheal is still running around and this gives it the needed boost.  The Buried is the only one that is not immediately obvious, after looking through the episodes* it still baffles me, as far as I can tell it's due to the focus on the Tunnels.  It could be that Jonathan in an attempt to understand the Tunnels tried to find similar statements and as a result the trend developed.  

The Extinction?

So season 2 has the first mention of number 15, well maybe it does.  See the thing with most of the Extinction’s manifestations is that it could maybe be something else entirely.  The Extinction episode of the season is 65 Binary and might be the Spiral instead but the focus on a new type of life and technology means that it is very difficult to say really.  

What's the Eye Doing?

The Eye falls right into the average place in the hierarchy for the season with four episodes.  Those being: 53 Crusader, 60 Observer Effect, 62 First Edition and 79 Hide and Seek.  These seem to work to expand what exactly the Eye is.  As I said, season 1 kind of lacks this and here Mag 53, 62 and 79 bring up the weirdness of the archivist, whereas Mag 60 explores how the Eye can manifest.  But the Eye isn't special every single entity gets fleshed out in season 2.

*41 Too Deep, 50 Foundations, 51 High Definition, 61 Hard Shoulder, 66 Held in Customs, 71 Underground

Season 3

This is the run away season.  This one is similar to the previous one but it does skew quite wildly at its end to favour the Stranger, for entirely understandable reasons.  But ultimately is still quite fair with only The Eye and The Extinction fall outside the three to five range.  

So the Stranger 

The Stranger has ten episodes this season and why is quite obvious as the climax of the season revolves around the Stranger.  Not much to say here.  

Again the Extinction

Now my notes had 114 Cracked Foundation as one of the Extinction episodes but for some reason I can no longer find any mention of it on the Wiki so I have no Idea what happened here.  My guess is that in the wake of Mag 196 and 197 this particular entry got a lot of attention and the link with the Extinction removed. 

What's the Eye doing?

This is the first season in which the Eye starts to take up the main spotlight with seven episodes. However looking through the statements* and it does not really appear in the statements but rather in the pre and post statement drama, as Jonathan and Elias use their abilities.  So as a result the Eye ends up feeling very different compared to the other entities and we don't see the ‘Horror’ of it for a lot of the podcast.  

* 82 The Eyewitnesses,  92 Nothing Beside Remains,  105 Total War,  106 A Matter Of Perspective,  117 Testament,  118 The Masquerade, 119 Stranger and Stranger

Season 4

So season four is very, very weird in that the Extinction is the most frequent entity (tied with the Eye).  It does make sense as Jonny needs to catch the audience up on what exactly it is as it does not have the breath of work that the other entities have, so as a result Lucas spends his Time telling Martin about it. 

Other notable Entities

The Lonely is also quite popular this season with five episodes but that also makes sense due to not only the presence of Lucas but also Martin’s fall into the Lonely.  Other than that The Hunt only has one statement* that has to do with it’s ritual.  The combination of this and the Extinction’s frequency in this season and the hunts underperformance in other seasons (4 in season 1, 2 from season 2, 3 from season 3 and 1 in this season) means that it has just slightly one more episode than the Extinction.   I do cover my rationalisation for this in the other post (Here)

What’s the Eye Doing?

Leading the pack that's what.  This season also has what other seasons lack statements that the Eye features in.  Now this is probably Jonny finally having the chance to explore the concept properly as it is a bit harder to really understand, but in world it could be due to a combination of Elias trying to keep Jonathan blind and Jonathan trying to explore his new identity as a ful blown avatar and going about it like a baby gay, consuming all media surrounding the topic.  

*133 Dead Horse

Season 5

I debated not including this section but hell I'll just add on any updates if it's necessary.  

So in this one to (to no one's surprise) the Eye is the golden child in this season after a brief jaunt into a domain for each fear the focus becomes almost entirely Eye focused, and if you want to be technical you can just add the Eye to every single episode but I did not.  

The runner up

The Web is definitely making up good numbers especially with how the finally is turning out. 

Other notables

The Lonely, Buried and Spiral all get a little above average.  Why? Well Martin has to deal with some baggage from Season 4 and Gaslight Girlboss is still running around but the Buried is a bit weird.  Again I think jonny just finds it easy to write claustrophobic horror, but again thats boring.  So lets have a look* and when I did I noticed that all three of these (and the Eye and Web) all are in 167 Curiosity so that adds a bit to the count.  But other than that its clear that it’s easy to add the Buried on top of another entity so its clear that the Eye simply likes how the Buried spices up the other flavours of fear.  And then finally the Extinction and Slaughter only get one each (163 In The Trenches and 175 Epoch) and they are the compulsory exploration episodes and unless the finale really is a complete curveball this probably won't change.  

What’s the Eye Doing? 

Having the time of its god damn life.

(  belle.  20.  mst.  she/her.  ) welcome  aboard, annorah  carlisle, student #30.  we  are  excited  to  set  sail  with  you !   has  anyone  told  you  that  you  look  like  josefine  frida  pettersen ? according  to  our  records,  you  hail  from queensland,  australia,  prefer preferred  she/her,  are female,  and  are  here  to  study journalism  and  communications.  we  also  see  you  received  a  spot  on  the  ss  university  because  of  your money —  we  won’t  tell  anyone.  during  your  first  few  weeks  here,  other  students  said  you  were  + dedicated,  + bubbly,  but  also  - condescending.  it  sounds  like  you  spend  most  of  your  time  at  the sun  deck  upon  checking  your  luggage,  we  noticed  you  packed a  tattered,  old  sting  ray  plush.  hopefully  your  roommates  don’t  steal  it!

hi friends! i’m belle and i am so so excited to have annorah here! i have been wanting to actually develop her so much and tbh when i saw this group was inspired by old tumblr rps, i knew this was gonna slap! i am so excited to be here, even if this being like a day later than when i was accepted suggests otherwise! i have just been doing nothing but packing! anyways here’s a very messy intro 

tw: suicide

she comes from a family of dancers, her mom owned a pretty prestigious dance studio where annorah and her sisters danced their whole lives

around the time annorah was 13 she “retired” from dance and became an assistant at the studio bc let’s be real here annorah was a competition dancer and having the pressure from her mom and sisters was just too much for her at the time 

especially bc she was the youngest so like she had a Lot of pressure and a lot to live up to and honestly she enjoyed helping others become the best dancer they could be more 

aside from the dance drama her family was always pretty happy and they were definitely well off, they lived in a penthouse in gold coast and annorah could see the ocean from every window in her room

she actually grew up thinking she would become a marine biologist because she was constantly in the water and yanno sea world as awful as they are was in her town

and her oldest sister was a marine biologist and annorah was like i want to be just like you and then she got older and was actually i want the exact Opposite of you

when she was 17, annorahs dad committed suicide and that shook up the family quite a lot and that was when she realized she could not stay in australia forever and she got really into wanting to travel the world

she convinced her family that she was old enough to leave the country and she finished out her high school career in a small town in oregon and then she basically went buckwild while she was in the states and just kinda traveled all over and went to every state

she had a really hard time trying to decide what she wanted to major in and she was so obsessed with traveling that she thought being a journalist would be her best bet

so she decided she would be the best dang travel journalist out there and once annorah sets her sights on something, she does not stop

and honestly? she has and probably will continue to do Whatever it takes to get to the top even if she makes some not so nice decisions in the journey there

but its not coming from a place of rudeness and hatred, annorah is very loving and wants to see everyone she knows succeed and have the best lives possible just as long as it doesnt interfere with her being at the top 

she looks at it like she’s the main character of her own life and she’s not gonna let a side character ruin her dreams

so her life motto is basically help everyone you can unless theyre in your way then make sure they’re gone

so she definitely has a handful of burnt bridges because of that and probably a fair amount of people who hate her as like an one sided thing

because as much as she cares about herself and is very self-centered, she does not hold grudges or hate anyone because theres no point in it for her, especially if she's already knocked them out of her way

honestly she’s just a gatekeeping girlboss and i cannot shame her for it

yall can message me on here to plot or my d/scord is duncan from tdi simp#8888 !! ok thats it im so excited to write with all of you <333

Cutting Ties, Shedding Old Skins...Rebirth.

So, I had a website on Wix that I made about two years ago, that I swore I was gonna use to document my move to and exploration of Edinburgh and Scotland upon my arrival. It was...devoid of content, but of a beautiful and unique design. I held onto that website, and even the name of it, for a whole two years without ever uploading an ounce of content aside from a video of Jason Momoa doing a Polynesian version of the Haka to commemorate and celebrate the release of Aquaman in theatres worldwide. 

I have spent the past few days lamenting about finally having my second college degree and what it means to me and my current life trajectory. I’m halfway torn between just getting a part time easy summer job scooping ice cream at my local spot versus really doing something big this summer, entrepreneurial wise. The reason being, that I have no drive whatsoever to be a #GirlBoss. I do not want to own my own business, but I would love to custom create on a freelancing basis. As well, I have been going through my things to determine what to donate (books, clothes, stuffies) and what to sell on apps like LetGo, OfferUp, and the elusive Craigslist (I’ve honestly had success with Craigslist every time that I’ve used it.). 

I have been struggling with facing the reality that I am currently at a crossroads in my life, one that I do not know how to navigate, despite fighting and working and sacrificing in order to get to this very precipice. I fully realize that a snake has to rub itself up against some really hard and gritty surfaces such as jagged rocks and such in order to shed its old skin. In order to reveal the new, one has to go through a period of friction, which can and oftentimes will be quite painful, uncomfortable, and hard to endure. But the entire process is necessary, because the snake literally cannot grow unless it sheds its old skin. 

So...here I am. Shedding my old skin. Releasing my shackles. Leaving it all behind (I will miss my fur babies but I have a plan FOR THEM AND THEM ALONE) to continue on my path to Scotland...and from there, who knows? Bali, maybe. Or Singapore. Or Hong Kong. Or maybe even Palmyra or the Jordanian Desert towards Ancient Petra. 

I’ll let you all know as soon as I get there, but for now....

This is me. Shedding my skin.

[Dear #QueensInExile] Spark the flame within our hearts. . .

My Sister Exiled Queens,

I’ve been writing you letters in my head since my last one but I’m always too tired to put it to paper, or seized with a sudden fear that you won’t want to read unless it’s OCCULT!  OCCULT!  OCCULT!  IMPROVE YOUR LIVES YESTERDAY, SISTERS.

But that’s silly.  Amanda Palmer doesn’t talk constantly about music and people still read her silly ass.  I have to have faith that you will still want to read my silly ass even if I’m mostly dreaming right now.

Because I need to.  If I’m just PRODUCING!  PRODUCING!  PRODUCING! I become a cow stuck in a gross factory, all hooked up to machines and still trapped staring out of someone else’s window.  Pass.

Things I’ve been considering/doing:

I’ve taken up yelling French women again because I just can’t quit them.   This has caused me to again ponder my slovenly eating habits.  Now I know food is a sensitive subject.  So if you don’t want to deal, just skip to the next bolded bit.   I won’t be offended.  So, I had tried Noom which is basically weight watchers 2.0 but I wasn’t getting anywhere with it.  In fact, I was gaining weight.  Reading the YFW books reminded me that I do have something in common with the French after all.  I too don’t like being told what to do.  It’s why I bomb at diets really bad, even moreso as I become less into being told what to do with age.

Plus diets are all, oh hey American!  You shouldn’t have to give up anything ever or ever feel hungry!  YFW are like, yeah no, fat stuff.  Sometimes you will feel hungry and you can’t always get what you want.  You are not entitled to desserts always or four glasses of wine every night.  Suck it up.  And I’m like, wow, YFW!  That’s weirdly freeing!  If it’s all just control and will (which frankly is also witchcraft), I can control myself because I’m pretty good at that in every other area of my life except food.  So fuck you, food.  You don’t own me!  I own you.  I’ve really been looking at my eating habits.  Sometimes I will keep eating something even if I don’t like it much.  I have a lot of weird Depression Era granddaughter baggage I’m untangling.  I keep expecting my mother to jump out at me whenever I discard something that’s not enough to save/not worth finishing yelling at me about starving orphans.  It just pains her so much to see food wasted that we go to some crazy lengths to never waste though Jow and I are horrible food wasters at home.  But now!  We have been working much harder to incorporate wilty veggies into soups and stews and being better refrigerator stewards,  I guess.  Looking at expiration dates, whatever.  When we had a tiny bit more money, I learned that made us extravagant about saying fuck it about dinner and ordering take out until the fridge was a wasteland of left over take out and uncooked meals.  But now we are slightly less moneyed while Jow does the RN program and we have our food in better order.

Also when I was really doing YFW management, I was really losing weight.  I mean.  YFW claim to not need the gym or hard liquor but I just met a young French triathlete chick and a bunch of really drunk French chicks at the McKittrick who were definitely not drinking wine so shut up, Marie.  I don’t want to be a triathlete but I also don’t want to trot my happy ass around my development in the rain.  That’s why the goddess gave us texting and ellipicals.  Indoors.  Like civilized people.  So I’m trying to look at this as more of a Witchcraft will development exercise vs oh god make yourself fit society’s standard!!!!  I’m happier being conscious about my consumption and enjoy life more as a fun bonus.

Reading books (like a guy!  Jow and I say that to each other all the time.  I’m not sure where it came from.  In our house parlance, it means to do something like a normal person).  The Last Tudor.  You Are a Badass.  French Women Don’t Get Fat.  Chaos Protocols (oh don’t judge me, my PAH knows my love is true and I am getting so much out of it with Jow reading it to me before bed.  It’s doing the loveliest things to my insides.  I’m going to, like, even do the Work!  I rarely do the Work books want me to do!  See: spent youth with actual occultists).  Betwixt & Between.  #Girlboss.  The Poison Eaters.  

Taking up forgotten (by me) arts.  I’ve been spinning which has been good for me, on my wheel even.  I’ve been getting local lavender and rosemary and drying it out in bundles because I really like using something I’ve made to cleanse the house.  My hair smelled like smoked lavender/rosemary the next day which was v. satisfying to bring to the office.

Contemplating beauty, ritual and pagentry.  More on this later.  It’s v. early stages.

Exploring.  Making new friends at The Neighbourhood Witch while I was in Halifax.  Eating amazing food at The Blue Moose and Nektar for me and Jow’s five year wedding anniversary.  Teaching myself to make espresso and Turkish coffee.  Going to late night parties in Hoboken with my girl gang.  Plotting upcoming events.

xxx,
