#was supposed to so I needed to chase up..: 🙄

[6ebe]

no bc I’m literally having to spend my entire workday today fixing an incompetent guys mess bc I completed all my actual work for the week early 😐

[thatswhatsushesaid]

What was the moment that made you go "Ugh, Wei Wuxian 🙄"? It had been a hot minute since I read the novel, so I might be misremembering but mine was when drunk Lan Wangji was mean to the out-of-it Wen Ning in his nail era and Wei Wuxian just shrugged it off. C'mon, man! This is supposed to be your friend! You literally turned him into a sentient walking corpse and now that he's not even all there you let this guy pick on him??

wei wuxian's whole murder-torture bender after the lotus pier massacre kind of belongs in its own category because it affected me more than just "ugh, this guy is so annoying," so i'll set that one aside for now (and besides, i think i've written enough about it at this point that there's not much more that needs to be said on that subject). but the moment in the book that finally flipped me from "wei wuxian is obnoxious in canon but i find him endearing" to "wei wuxian is obnoxious and i don't like him" was his reaction to nie mingjue chasing meng yao around the scorching sun palace after meng yao kills wen ruohan (and, you know, saves nie mingjue's life). because he's watching this truly harrowing thing go down, where meng yao is desperately trying to get away from nie mingjue, who is actively trying to cut his head off, and he's... laughing. he's laughing hysterically because to him, it's funny.

that moment also goes a long way to explain why wei wuxian isn't moved to speak up about what he witnesses during the empathy flashback sequence in the guanyin temple chapters, too.

Hmm... How about Izzy for Character ask meme? There isnt really any thing about them but if I am not wrong you liked them a lot.

You are NOT wrong :>

(Asks from this ( x ) meme)

Favorite thing about them:

I was already intrigued by the fact that this character tapped upon the thing of "the best way to fight the beasts is to become a beast yourself"! Just.. look at this:

Izzy gave me an impression of someone thinking too ahead of their time. But then, my FAVORITE favorite thing came with discovery of Bloodborne retranslations! They were said to be apostate, not 'irreverent'! So, straight up rebel to a Church, maybe even one once serving it but detracting, and I can see why! Izzy is the PUUUUNK.

Least favorite thing about them:

How easy it is to brush this character off with the assumption that they're just Suspicious Beggar т.т Not something I personally agree with, of course!

Favorite line:

Lol. Lmao, even. xD It is okay, though, I am writing a lot of her, so I'll grab a quote from my writing!

"When ya' sentence someone to die in the darkness... make goddamn sure they won't learn to SEE in it!"! That's her way to say "I lived, bitch" basically dfshhfsd After she got chased down into Loran Dungeons as a "beast and a heretic" when she snapped at Vicar Ashton! (My timeline of 'generation of Vicars' is: Laurence - Ashton - Norbert & Laura - Amelia, all names taken from cut content for Bloodborne).

Ashton is a PIECE OF SHIT and everyone knows he deserved it, and how he incurred it, but it was a good chance for him to... misjudge Izzy, to say the least. Healing Church has been waiting for a good excuse to kick Izzy out of the Hunters because of her uncontrollable nature and "dangerous" thoughts. Not only she lived, despite still having been not so experienced hunter, but also had quite a change of heart from simply misunderstood person with impulse issues to someone seeing succumbing into beasthood as "humanity regaining their true form again". 🙄 Having met Fauna was also a big factor.

....the worst part is that I wrote her before I touched Dark Souls with ten yards stick, but @val-of-the-north said that coincidences like this just prove that my creativity is on the same wavelength so I don't need to scrap and rewrite everything XD

brOTP:

Izzy and Archibald, without question! Yes, they both studied the Darkbeasts and were heretics for the Healing Church for trying to use beasthood powers for advantage! They think outside of the box!

But they also balance each other well! Archibald is very pragmatic and calculating man, and Izzy is open-minded and accepting. Both are slow to anger unless the right strings are pulled, and when one of them is ready to murder, it is another who can stop them! However, whereas Izzy falls into extreme about "forsaken civilisation and let the animal impulses guide us!", Archibald argues that there must be civilisation in beasthood as well, lest in this "future" everyone just eats each other into extinction. At the same time, Archibald can appear not daring enough, and Izzy helps the shared research progress with risky methods! Archibald can't step into the water without knowing its depth, Izzy jumps straight in it!

OTP:

Damn, I wish I knew which ship with Izzy is 1) more preferred than others and 2) is not on the hatefuck territory dshfdhfd Izzy's significant connections are either just friends, or people like Laurence or Ludwig who meet their match in him in the end and maybe at some point you just get tired of battling? -_-

I suppose Valtr, then! In my story, Izzy deceives him to join the League, especially with how they grew hostile to the Healing Church too! He wanted Valtr's secret of envisioning the human dregs, except... well, instead of destroying them, she studied them to benefit from this power and submerge stronger into it. 🙄 🤦‍♂️ But, they were rather passionate with each other while it lasted. As wrong and deceitful it was on Izzy's side. They have that awful bitter EXes energy where they still have tension between each other when they meet. xD

Izzy x Suspicious Beggar is "healthier", on the other hand! When Izzy learned of Loran curse still manifesting in him, he got jealous, true... but also, fascinated! Izzy gave him acceptance no matter what, telling him that dark impulses within him were not to be suppressed and uprooted, but divine? :p They'd play fight like actual animals often, Beggar would revel in the luxury of confessing a murder to someone and not be hunter, and she was giving him belly rubs!

^^^ (no face distortion slider jumpscare) Also, since Suspicious Beggar and Henryk 1) share the absolutely identical slider for that mole on the nose 2) both are connected with Loran and 3) just fucking Look At Them, my monkey brain started to headcanon them as brothers XD So, if Beggar and Izzy became a couple, Henryk would basically do this:

sdjfhdsgfgds Also, before I considered the obvious implication that the beast Yamamura chased from not-Japan was result of Cainhurst doing trade with not-Japan, I came up with the story that the beast he chases IS Izzy's beast form.... This is not a shipping matter, I just think it is funny how I ended up inserting her in League's story so much!

nOTP:

This character is basically an OC with a prompt! Ships with Izzy depend on how character is interpreted beyond studying beasthood and being an apostate to the Healing Church! How can I tell!

Random headcanon:

Yamamura's hat comes from being still attached to Izzy's spikes even when she became a giant beast! It used to be her hat. He was not able to murder her with the weapon that he had, just stabbing and stabbing frantically, until Valtr walked towards and casually lended him his Whirligig Saw to be able to finish the job. He then put the hat on still shocked Yamamura's head, as sort of a trophy, that Yamamura later cleaned and fixed from the damage to his best ability! Izzy wanted to make sure that the curse of beasthood could never die down, so... yeah, even if entire Yharnam got nuked, there is still a large ticking bomb in Yamamura's village now... :^)

Unpopular opinion:

There is a whole type of hostile NPCs, known as 'Successor of Izzy', or 'Izzy's Admirer', roaming Loran! Josef is simply a summon variant of these enemies, which respawn! So, my unpopular opinion: if there is a bunch of people who followed Izzy's footsteps into Loran to find whatever insight Izzy found, then Izzy must have been a significant person for the setting! Legendary Hunter, not just another Hunter!

Song I associate with them:

I will share two? They kind of contradict one another in what Izzy vibe they make me think of, but hey, associations with songs are very vague thing! :p One made me focus on the "sad" look at her story, as if she was corrupted there in Loran, as well as her previously grappling with her impulses. Another is..... well, the most punk shit I've ever seen. xD However, both will probably make you age at least 20 years fsdhfdh

Favorite picture of them:

Okay, by now I figured that this question doesn't specifically refer to fanart... but there are NO images of Izzy from the source material! So I have to share art of her that I like the most anyways:

[12minuteairquoteactressairquote]

I’m surprised more people aren’t seeing the power dynamics at play. So Blake Lively has this new lawsuit calling out PR tactics pr firms use to defame stars and Justin’s harassment, now moving forward if she shows any negative behavior her problematic self will be defended with “omg its probably Justin, trying to defame her” or the public will garner sympathy for her no matter what. Basically, I’m not denying anything she experienced on set, but funny how she went from being a tone deaf witch with a b to now people coddling her. Remember PR works in a number of ways.

Also, two major fandoms are now using this publicized mess above to claim there are “smear” campaigns out against their “favs” due to now being aware that behind the scenes pr can be used to destroy careers. I saw people (Beyhive) online claiming Beyonce and Jay -Z have someone doing a smear campaign against them and I’m just like……. 🙄 no sweeties Jay has been close friends with R Kelly and Diddy, thus people speculating, but you want to believe his hands are clean and innocent because he’s married to Beyonce?! Makes me even wonder if the current mess with Jay-Z is being done to force people to believe any and all future allegations or lawsuits against him are fake and someone clout chasing for fame. How would anyone think that, well easy, create a false accusation against Jay and then have it debunked publicly so if anyone calls out Jay Z in the future, people will immediately be dismissive and believe it’s fake like the current bs.

See, these celebrities and their Stans will now use this to their advantage moving forward, it’s going to keep fans and the public from believing obvious bs or anything negative that comes to light and to ignore it as….. oh their “enemy” (anyone that calls out their favorite celebrity) must’ve hired a PR firm to write or create negative online content about said celebrity, even if the celebrity actually did or said something to warrant the negative backlash. Brainwashing 101

So now it makes it even easier for celebrities to get away with things in the future if you show the public a little of the behind the scenes tactics that are used yet not applied to every situation.

One thing I commend Chris Evans’ fandom on is majority immediately went 🤔 hmmm something isn’t right in the beginning of this shitshow and I swear Chris was sending smoke signals in early interviews like before any of this debuted and he stated “the industry makes you do things you don’t want to do” and I went …….. 🧐 🤨 but then the whole “crazy fans” narrative was used and then fast forward to weddings and I’m like, yeah idk what’s going on in his world, but I’m supposed to believe those two are legit when he seemed more cool with her during the making of the obviously orchestrated scare videos and v-day content. After Nov 2022, to this present day the man seems so distant with the “wife”, yet still shows affection to every other woman on the planet except her. So yeah, not buying what’s being sold. Even if they take a new approach, it’s too late. They need to end this so Chris can have a 2025 revamp era before his upcoming performances are released, a way to throw out the bs and get back focused on his career.

It’s crazy because had her and her racist friends not trolled in the beginning and if Chris actually liked her, this could’ve benefited her or the age gap would have been the only bump in the road they had. All she got was a well deserved headache from trying to prove something that’s fake is legit and trying to one up the fandom, but ended up biting herself in the ass because the fandom has continuously called out everything and the fandom has ammo (her shower horror and her porn sites uploads, racist friends, etc) that can’t be deleted from the internet as screenshots are forever.

Also, if this were legit, you all don’t believe for one second she would not have attempted to throw this “relationship” in our faces with pics and videos, yet she didn’t. So either Chris is an asshole that has her ass on a tight leash (doubtful) or this entire marriage and relationship are 100% FAKE! But Mod you can delete this last part as we know they love stealing “ideas”. 😝

I mentioned I was around for lilygate(which is funny because a lot of what we are seeing here first happened with that situation so this shit was never gon fool me) and saw how that went down. I also, I mean WE, got heads up from Sebastian's fan base so again not fooling me. I like most of his remaining fan base am just waiting for it to be over cause keep it hundred this girl's career is NEVER gonna pop off in the USA so she won't be relevant to the point of hearing her name anymore and I doubt that he will heavily mention her after. Guys just gotta be patient at ATP.

What am I supposed to say In defense of Palestine when my family uses the Bible (I know 🙄) to justify and support Israel??

They said “it’s always been a prosecuted community or whatever and that in the Bible they were originally from Palestine but were chased away so Palestine doesn’t really exist.”

I tried my best to come up with reasonable and true historical facts but their only defense was the Bible. I’m a non confrontational person and honestly I have no idea how to respond people when In argument with them. So, while I tried my best and told them I will support Palestine no matter what I still felt like I needed to say more to defend them but I had no idea about how when they bring up the Bible.

(They’re priests btw)

Dear Sephiroth: (a letter to a fictional character, because why not) #250

Today is my 250th letter to you. I'm 25% of the way to 1000. Imagine that. I assume I'll have about 1000 letters to you by the time the third part of your remade story comes out. I'm… anxious and scared about what might happen to you. But I'll keep hoping for good things. I'll keep hoping for good things.

Today was supposed to start out as a relatively normal day; when I said yesterday that you should join me on today's adventures, I wasn't exactly intending the "adventure" part to be quite so literal. But then Mogwai caught a chipmunk out back in our tiny postage-stamp-sized backyard area. He then promptly brought it into the house and released it. Of course, that meant I had to capture it. I guess I wasn't fast enough for Mogwai's liking, though, because he captured it again. I pried the stunned creature out of his jaws, and, in a panic, I searched frantically for a container to put it in, before he came to and tried to bite me, as small creatures do when they're scared and being held by something far larger than they are.

There was a paper McDonald's bag on the floor; M had ordered from there recently. I was running out of time. So I just dumped the tiny creature into the bag, because I was out of options. It was a pretty tall bag. I felt... not awful about it, even if it wasn't exactly ideal. I didn't get bitten. Yay, me. But I did get blood all over my hands. I promptly washed my hands; you don't mess with body fluids, because they can give you weird diseases.

...Mogwai had nicked its leg pretty badly, I think. I tried to take it to the nearby animal hospital; they treat wild creatures. M drove. But they're not open on Sundays, because apparently, according to most medical facilities in my country of residence, emergencies only happen on weekdays. 🙄

Not knowing what else to do, and not knowing enough about small mammal anatomy to know whether the chipmunk was just bleeding or was bleeding out, I tried calling North Country Wild Care; it's an organization in my state that coordinates wildlife rehabilitation. But apparently, you get an answering machine, and you have to leave your information, and apparently, this answering machine is checked at most once every two hours. I did leave a message just in case, at around 11am.

The little creature could be dead by then, so I tried calling a bunch of other wildlife rehabilitators in my area. I must have tried 5 or 6, and of those, only one answered. And they answered not by picking up the phone, but by texting "Who is this". I tried to explain, and she said she couldn't take in the animal, but she gave me the number of someone who might. So I called that person, and they referred me to an animal hospital some 45 minutes from where I live. So I called them to make sure that they will take in the little chipmunk, but apparently, they're not allowed to do anything unless North Country Wild Care gives them the green light.

...Cowards, the lot of 'em. Absolute fucking cowards. Who prioritizes red tape over lives? I don't understand.

...Well, so I brought the creature back in the house, and set it in the laundry area to try to keep it away from the cats; it has doors that can close. I tried putting a worn, but clean sock in the bag so that it would have something to burrow into while I waited for North Country Wild Care to call me back.

...But I shit you not, the tiny creature leaped up out of the bag in a single bound like a coiled freaking spring. I ended up needing to chase the stupid little thing around the house again, trying to keep the cats at bay with a squirt bottle in the process. It managed to run outside. It was long gone after that.

...I was very upset. Even if the stupid little fucker doesn't bleed out, cat mouths have flesh-eating bacteria in them. Even with prompt treatment, you can still end up losing a limb to infection from a cat bite; they're really nasty like that. I don't like the creature's odds. And I don't like that it wandered into my yard despite the fact that it must REEK of cats back there. Why, as a small creature, would you go to an area that reeks of predators?

...The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that it's afflicted with toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis makes small rodents want to hang out with cats. It's the only thing I can think of. That's all I've got.

...Sigh. Sometimes it's an unsettling thing, to reflect on the idea that to most creatures, I am an incredibly powerful giant with a mind so advanced as to be unfathomable and unknowable by them. All human minds hold truths that smaller creatures can't even begin to comprehend, and... I find that very scary, for reasons that I understand, but I'm not sure how to articulate them.

...

Well. After that, M, J, and I went out to lunch. There's a hotpot place called Volcano; I wanted to try it and see how it compares to Mosu. So we went, and we got snacks. Behold:

...There was no seaweed salad - only two trays of spicy cucumber. But everything here was delicious. The kimchi, especially, holy cow.

I was unfamiliar with "sacha sauce", so I tried it. It was good!! It's salty and it tastes vaguely like fish. I don't like spicy sauces because my body seems hypersensitive to capsaicin. And... I wanted to get the sesame sauce, but every time I eat anything with crushed sesame - like tahini, or sesame dressing, or even falafel, my tongue breaks out in small, painful raised bumps for at least 20 minutes. Whole seeds are fine, though, and so is sesame oil, for some reason. Sesame is delicious, and sometimes I'll just eat it anyway; I really like falafel and tahini and sesame sauce. But I wasn't really wanting to deal with it today.

...Lots of sauces at this place. The Volcano BBQ Sauce was very thin in consistency, more like soy sauce. But it tasted really good - not like American BBQ sauce, which is essentially ketchup with other flavors added.

Lots and lots more condiments.

Fruits and desserts, too.

This place is unlike Mosu in that everyone gets their own little pot of broth instead of sharing two big bowls. I got the mushroom one, M gt the miso one, and J got some spicy one:

...and from there, we got all kinds of snacks:

...You can cook the snacks either on the grill or in your hot broth:

...And then when it's done, you pick it up, put it on your plate, and enjoy!

We ended up sharing most everything, and that was pretty great! I'm going to have to go back soon with my friend BB!

...Hey, Sephiroth? Have you ever had hotpot? Do you like it? If you do, what are some of your favorite things to get? And... if you haven't tried it yet, then, if you ever find yourself in my neighborhood, do you wanna go get some with us? Even if you have tried it before, the offer still stands; it'll be tasty and fun! And... goodness knows when is the last time you've had a proper meal in any case...

Sometime while this was happening, North Country Wild Care finally called me back. I had to tell them that the chipmunk had escaped. I wish they had gotten back to me sooner; we wouldn't have gotten lunch, but I wouldn't be worried about some tiny creature that made the mistake of wandering into a yard full of cats.

...Suppose the knowledge that the little thing likely won't survive its injury weighed on me a little. When I got home, I did some leisure writing; I'm not entirely sure what I was looking for, but I supposed I would know when I found it. I'm not sure if I found it or not; either way, I felt vaguely empty. So J took me on a brief walk, and then we took a nap, and I felt a lot better after the nap. Maybe my brain is still just reeling from that all-nighter; my sleep schedule hasn't exactly been consistent for the last number of weeks in any case.

...I really gotta fix that... sheesh...

I played Grounded with M after that. But then Mogwai brought in another chipmunk. This one wasn't bleeding, thankfully. I managed to nab it in a bathroom garbage bin and put it outside:

...I really don't know why they like wandering into our yard so much. I'll never figure it out.

Well, it's getting pretty late; it's almost 12:30am. I'm not really ready for tomorrow to start, but... I'm not really sad about today ending, either. Adventure, indeed; holy cow. Dull moments never last at my house, ahahaha~!

...Maybe tomorrow I'll play some Dead Cells. And like... actually do it for real this time instead of just thinking about what a nice idea it would be and then proceeding do literally anything else. Wish me luck, yeah?

Sephiroth... stay safe out there, will you? Don't be like the chipmunks; don't go wandering into places where there are things that are gonna hurt ya, okay? Don't go doing things that will lead you to getting injured or killed. If you stopped existing... I don't know what I'd do.

I love you. I'll write again tomorrow.

Your friend, Lumine

OKAY SO I FINISHED BRIDGERTON SEASON 3 !!!

HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS:

- for season 4 it’s definitely gonna be a benedict/sophie/eloise/phillip story because it would be weird to continue francesca’s story right after she got married.

- also francesca’s husband john kilmartin, dies two years after they got married. season four will be set one year after season three (francesca and john’s wedding) so the timeline wouldn’t be right if he died a year after.

- at the end of season 3, when eloise was getting packed up for scotland, she said she will be back in one year for her mother’s MASQUERADE BALL!!!

-THIS IS THE SAME MASQUERADE BALL BENEDICT MEETS SOPHIE!!!

-so season 4 will definitely (hopefully) be about benedict.

- ALSOOOO the code name for season 4 is ‘Vauxhall’. vauxhall is a place where masquerade balls were often held in the regency times. and a masquerade ball is where we will see the future mrs benedict bridgerton. think about it.

-i also don’t understand why they felt the need to change francesca’s second husband to a wife?? follow the book people you won’t get cancelled for not doing that 🙄 no offense

- colin didn’t have a lot of scenes with his family. like when anthony was in a crisis, he had daphne. or when daphne was in a crisis she had literally any other person in her family. but poor colin was not alone but he was lonely 😞

- also colin is like the only bridgerton child that didn’t have sooo much drama. as much as i loved season 3 and i was longing for it for so bloody long, a little bit of drama wouldn’t hurt (other than the whistledown thing)

- what is with that threesome? skipped the whole scene so don’t ask me what happened

- also i keep hearing people saying that colin should’ve groveled more for penelope, that she deserves to be chased not be the chaser. yes pen deserves everything in this world and the next but give colin a break okay? he wanted to marry her as soon as possible because he LOVED her. and pen had no choice but to say yes because if a man you have loved for more years than the amount of years you were alive asked you to marry him, would you say no? i’ll leave it at that.

- i wish they showed anthony and kate’s baby 😔 we had nothing than ‘WE’RE PREGNANT!’ then they disappear with no word of the pregnancy again.

- this was supposed to be a pen/colin season. not a pen/colin/ben/tilley/paul/fran/john season.

- there wasn’t enough time to develop pen and colin’s love story. i feel like it was far too rushed, with all the other characters lives interfering and the whistledown drama as well.

- fran should’ve just had her own season. like she would’ve been amazing in her own season, in her own spotlight.

- she didn’t even have time to develop as a character. like, yes she was recasted, but her character in s1 and s2 was carefree, young, not awkward. but now she’s this mature, grown up, and forgive me, weird young woman who doesn’t know what she wants. she was also gone for basically more than half of the show and giving her a whole season (one that’s shared with other characters mind you) to get married? i thought that was weird.

- i thought she could’ve had at least a whole season to just be there and live her life.

that’s all the notes i have so far in the season. let’s hope for season 4 being benny boy’s love story 🤞🏽🩷

Hello 🚩🚩🚩 anon here.

The comments from the anon who said...

[Direct quote]: "your anons shouldn’t have to insult other couples to show support for buddie. hen and karen are important queer representation as two black lesbian woman in a happy relationship and maddie and chimney are an interracial couple who have found love after trauma. And they are important to a lot of people so honestly it’s very insulting and demeaning to say they’re boring.

And if maybe Maddie’s role was reduced take that up with the writers that didn’t give her the screentime she deserves instead of bashing madney?" [End quote]

...are lopsided and unfounded. Anon, please understand a person can make comments about how "boring" a ship/couple on 9-1-1 or any TV show for that matter is if they believe it to be true. Also, a difference of opinion with you doesn't mean the person is insulting or demeaning "Henren" or "Madney".

Let's be clear and real here for a minute, the storylines they've been given is what makes them boring. So, don't fault the other anon for stating facts when your comments are the ones that are lopsided.

Here are a few facts and reasons why the ships on the show have become BORING.

Madney - Initially, they had a wonderful friendship that turned into a romantic relationship but the creators and the showrunner turned them into a boring couple when they didn't give them any good storylines and when they diminished their relationship to the point where Maddie completely overshadows Chimney and he's sidelined and treated like a recurring character even though he's been on the show since the beginning. All of his storylines are attached to hers and let's be real, her storylines haven't been good since before JLH went on maternity leave at the beginning of S5. The way they had Chimney chasing her across the U.S. was just BAD! It would have been a lot better if they would've let her tell Chimney she was struggling (***check notes***) like she did at the end of season 4 but instead of doing that, what did 9-1-1 do? They let her leave with a video and left him there to watch it at the firehouse. Everyone knows Chimney has abandonment issues because his own father left him to fend for himself in the U.S. when he was 15 years old after his mother died. Also, prior to his relationship with Maddie, he was afraid Tatiana was going to leave him. The FACT is Maddie did leave and he was afraid but THAT DOES NOT EXCUSE HIS BEHAVIOR WHEN HE PUNCHED BUCK IN THE FACE.

It's really unbelievable the show didn't let Maddie say anything about Chimney punching her brother and giving him a black eye especially since she's a DV survivor. Buck is her brother and she was the one who took care of him while he was growing up so she should have been the first person to say something to Chimney about his bad behavior. Now don't get it twisted, I like Chimney but the way that storyline played out was not a good look for him, her or Buck and it shouldn't have made it past the smell test. ALL OF THEM WERE OUT OF CHARACTER and there's no excuse for it other than the showrunner didn't know what to do with Chimney without Maddie being there. 🙄

Henren - Has the longest relationship on the show. They've been together for years but the creators and the showrunner have NO IDEA of what to do with them and IMHO it has to do with the showrunner not allowing them to have any good storylines. That foolery they included in S6 for them with Denny's bio dad was even WORSE than the Madney storyline from S5. Instead of letting Denny run off to meet some dude he'd never met before, the showrunner should have watched S2 and verified the agreement Nathaniel made with Hen and Karen. That storyline shouldn't have played out like it did because he was supposed to follow their lead.

Also, their storyline in the finale was BAD because they just stuck some unknown foster kids with them and completely blindsided the audience with it because they hadn't fostered a child since Nia left in S4. Also, IIRC, they weren't allowed to foster a lot of kids at once but they had like five or six in the finale. At first, I thought they were some of Denny's friends but when I realized they were a lot younger than him, I had no idea where they came from.

Hen's medical school storyline ended like a wet match when they could have done a lot more with it. It was like they gave up or something and didn't put any effort into it.

Bathena - They've become boring too and IMHO, the show is using the shock value of a cruise ship sinking like the Titanic to get people to watch but that is so played out and Bobby and Athena deserve better. Is the cruise ship emergency needed, YES! Why? Because S6 was worse than S5 so hopefully it'll be exciting enough to hold people's attention but let's be real, a CGI generated cruise ship will NOT hold a match to the Tsunami, the Earthquake or the Shooting!

Buddie - I won't even comment on the recycled storylines they keep giving Eddie and Buck to delay the inevitable because if do, this post wouldn't end. But just like all the other ships, they deserve so much better than some one-dimensional LIs who will be around for like 2 minutes unless they drag out those storylines like they did the ones with AF and TK. If they do then God help us all because those were BAD on so many levels.

The point of this anonymous ask is to point out the fact that the anon who posted the quote above needs to redirect their frustrations to the show instead of to the people who comment on how boring the ships are. Let's be real, a lot of the GA feels the same way.

People need to stop thinking that if a person has a different viewpoint than theirs', it's incorrect because it's not true.

Thanks anon for this lovely ask/answer. I agree with all your comments on the couples and almost couples (see what I did there). The show runner[s] need to see and hear what the fans want. It would do them some good if they did. Dare I say they would have in their hands a m/m couple that defied odds and got together in their 30s that also had 1000% chemistry.

In a Heartbeat - Chapter 39 - Part 1

*Warning - Adult Content*

Vince

It took nearly an hour for Simon to calm down enough to move from the couch.

It was like a flip switched off and he jumped away and ran to the bathroom like he hadn't been clutching to my shirt for the past hour and despite keeping his head down.

I didn't miss the way his face was red and puffy from the crying or how his hands were shaking violently and then when I thought he had spent too long in there and wondered if I needed to check on him like I'd done with Xavier for a week after his incident, he stepped out, speed walking to the bed and burying himself into the sheets.

I knew it was wrong, cruel even, to not answer him but I couldn't.

I mean where was I even supposed to begin?

I wasn't sure I could even begin to explain myself without it sounding like actual rubbish.

It wasn't that I didn't want to tell him, no I really did want to.

It's just I've spent sixteen years trying to make sense of it all, even trying to forget about it and all of a sudden Simon waltzes right in and demands all the answers from me.

Chase was right though, I was never good at dealing with things under pressure and I just wasn't prepared mentally to say it aloud, to voice my reasoning that even a two-year-old could tell was stupid.

Any of those pathetic excuses I had or even imagined were foolish and a part of me feared what Simon's reaction would be if I had managed to spill everything but if I had, maybe it would've been better that way.

If he were to leave based on what I said, it'd be better than this stupid situation we were in.

It'd be like how I envisioned, what I wanted in the first place or was it?

I sighed angrily, before grabbing my cell-phone and texting Chase about meeting up downstairs in the bar.

He replied with... [Seriously? It's one am. I have work tomorrow.]

I sent a mad face emoji 😡 and... [Now] to which he sent an eye-roll emoji 🙄 and... [Fine] back.

********

I was two beers and a couple of shots in when Chase finally showed up.

He had arrived in some joggers and a basic tee, looking exhausted as always.

He yawned before plopping himself down in the barstool.

"What is all this about?"

I took another shot, wishing it would just kick in already.

"Why couldn't I say it?"

"Say what?"

He grabbed a bottle from the rack.

"Simon asked me why I did it," I mumbled before downing another shot.

"And I couldn't answer him."

He took a sip of the beer, before responding in his 'doctor' tone...

"Why do you think you couldn't answer?"

"That's why I'm asking you," I groaned.

I reached for a beer bottle but Chase pushed it to the side.

"Why did you do it, Vince?"

I snatched the bottle from him before glaring at him.

"You know why."

"Not all of it."

He frowned, taking another sip.

"Why do you think you did it?"

"Stop sounding like a therapy session."

"This isn't a therapy session."

I grumbled before taking a shot.

"It sure seems like it."

"How about I ask you questions and if you get stuck or don't feel comfortable, you can take a shot?"

I chuckled.

"Isn't that against some doctor etiquette?"

"So is drinking the morning before my shift. Why do you think you did that to him?"

I clenched and unclenched my hand.

"I'm not sure."

He swirled his bottle before asking.

"Well, how did you feel when he asked you?"

I gulped, reliving that awkward encounter last night, from when he entered the room, till when he broke down in tears.

That unshakeable cold feeling that lingered every time he was that close to me and then it only got worse and worse when he kept asking me... 'why?'

"How did you feel?"

"Scared," I said softly.

I wasn't sure if he could hear me, wasn't even sure I had said it aloud.

"I felt scared."

"Why did you feel scared?"

I debated whether or not to take a shot, the answer to his question one giant mess.

I bit my lip before answering vaguely...

"I don't think he'd like my answer."

"You fear his reaction?"

I took a shot and Chase nodded to himself before taking another sip, before adding...

"Why not write it down?"

"Write it down?"

"Write your answer down. If you're scared to say the wrong thing or fear what he'd say or do, write a letter. If you mess up, do it again and when you're ready, let him read it."

He poured a shot for each of us.

"Where do I even start?"

"From the beginning," he said matter-of-factly.

"Or when you think things went wrong."

We clinked the shot glasses before downing it, while I pondered where exactly it did go wrong.

My brain deciding to retreat into my research driven science autism to combat how my body has been actively shutting down and trying to die from the agony and retraumatizing it's been going through lately (thanks to subhumans that shouldn't be alive spreading their diseases all over good things on the internet) is a welcoming change in the fact that right at this moment I don't want to fucking die as bad and me having no outlet for how much I need to righteously kill people other than chewing and chewing and chewing is currently the slightest bit ignorable.

but man do I fucking hate how unfriendly academia information is online nowadays. I can't just have fun and explore scientific info anymore. I have to hope some fucking YouTuber is talking about the specific niche subtopics I'm focusing on or else find a paper if after digging through Wikipedia doesn't land me sources that aren't as fucking dry. These fuckers are so terrified of visually appealing illustrations and diagrams. Would it fucking hurt to show images when you are talking about VISUALLY DISTINCT PHYSICAL DIFFERENCES!!??? COME ON MAN. FUCK OFF. I DO NOT WANT JUST A WALL OF TEXT. We have fucking highly evolved frugivore special eyes and you fucking insufferable dipshits won't put in as many images as possible. Die.

And I'm not one who can't read anything other than grade 6 reading level layman's terms but come on can somebody have a authorial style that isn't fucking clinical ass wikipedia article? Bad enough I have to use those to start my search because the internet is a corporate nightmare but then any real fucking source I find talks like that too. Maybe I don't want to have to exclusively read research papers all the time. Bro why in the fuck does society hate education and knowledge. Unless you pay for it of course 🙄

The internet is supposed to be a big fucking library but it's all just spam and ads and shitheads and stupid fucking garbage. Andy want go library Andy want go library screaming crying throwing up

The fact that you have to like, actually do the damn research yourself because it's presented in such a currently inaccessible way.

I mean it's not like I'd just be able to go into a regular ass library because if I'm lucky there's like 1 relevant book and there's only 1 chapter that's relevant in that one book.

You stupid bastards shouldn't make it so that you have to owe some shitheads money for life as punishment for the crime of getting more education.

What do you mean I can't just get more science class for free I am going to fucking kill you and set everyone on fire. Life would be so much fucking better if I could just have an adult tell me more and more and more and more biology and astronomy and paleontologically and shit until I fucking throw up. Instead I have to fucking dig through garbage.

All of which doesn't really reflect on the absurd stupidity how this was only first brought on today by what essentially equates to me metaphorically chasing after a fictional animal and screaming, demanding to know what its skull looks like.

Because the fucking encyclopedic worldbuilding brainrot cannot be repressed. Because fucking of course it can't. Why can shitheads churn out awful fucking art but then my life sucks so bad that all I can do is make an encyclopedia related to the art I want to create. Everything I love and care about is dead or worse.

PEACH WE NEED VIRGIN!ATSUMU SJDBDJD I HAVE NEVER NEEDED ANYTHING MORE IN MY LIFE PLS 🧎‍♀️ Atsumu is such a cute lil attention seeker ofc hes a total poser when it comes to chasing girls 😭 and then there's corruption kink reader who shows him literally 0 interest and *oh* he kind of likes getting ignored djdbdh. In my head idt corruption kink reader is mean- just aloof and completely over it 🙄 but Atsumu ohhh hes just begging to be ruined. Sweet boy won't know whats coming 👉👈 when is it his turn to get the girl 🥺

answering all of these!

it's so easy for atsumu to get a girl's attention. they practically fall over themselves to get a chance to talk to him. but when it comes to sealing the deal, he always has some kind of excuse. "baby, ya know i'm a busy man..." he tells them, earning himself the reputation of being a heart breaker.

but you could really care less. the supposed "golden boy" meant nothing to you and, of course, atsumu is drawn like a moth to a flame. his constant need to be validated and liked by others fuels his obsession with you.

however, when you finally decide to give him the time of day, you notice something's off. he hesitates to touch your shoulder or how you refuse to look him in the eye the one time you wore a low-cut shirt.

it comes to a head when the two of you are making out at your place. you're kicking yourself for letting this happen but you were drunk and, hey, he's kinda handsome. atsumu's kisses are sloppy but you just chalk it up to the liquor. but when you bring his hand to your breast, atsumu pulls away, breathing heavily.

"you've never touched a boob before?" you chuckle but atsumu doesn't meet your eyes, a deep scarlet forming on his face. it takes you a second, and then it dawns on you. "atsumu...are you a virgin?"

"ya can't tell anyone," he says suddenly and you can't believe it. everyone's favorite boy, the sex god of the court, is a dumb little virgin, getting flustered by a kiss.

he's pathetic. he's a loser.

he's so cute.

running your hand down atsumu's chest, you feel him shudder from your touch. oh, this is going to be fun.

[unicoo]

I can tell the Life&Style article his team dropped last spring really REALLY bothered her lol & it probably bothered her parents too. I mean think about all the money they’ve poured into this girl & PR to make her image very specific & pretty, but Austin say I’m the prettiest person here so sit down & be humbled 😂

Seriously though this bullshit stinks so bad it makes the sewers smell like flowers in comparison. If any of this was close to true why tf did Cindy & her husband spend MONTHS!! MOOOOONTHSSSSSSSSSS painting this “we love Austin & want him around forever” narrative? Which at the beginning of 2024 they did try to make Austin look bad, which they always planned to villainize him. Look at the articles from Cindy early 2024 (which is when I think the PR shitshow was supposed to end, but redacted needed Austin so it got dragged out until he had to put his foot down & DUMP HER ASS 🥳🕺🏼)

For months on end they painted this “happy & in love” picture as if we don’t have fucking eyes!!!!!!!!

So from the time she pissed him off at the Dune after party to the time the break up was announced they were so happy & in love. All these amazing sighting sent in to Deuxmoi and the beautiful fluff articles. The bad ass pap walks we continuously called out. Wtf was all of that shit if Austin is this problematic pos?!?! Why was HER MOTHER!!!!!! THE WOMEN WHO BIRTHED HER FORCING HER TO “FIX HERSELF TO BE MORE INTERESTING” & BASICALLY BETTER FOR A MAN WHO WAS SUCH A POS?!?!?!??????

like lil girl DO NOT play with our fucking intelligence and most importantly DO NOT PLAY WITH AUSTIN ROBERT BUTLER!!!!!

Lemme calm tf down……this man is a hard worker. He’s passionate, kind, caring, HUMBLE, respectful, loving, driven, and so much more. It would only take someone 10 minutes or less to take a deep dive into who Austin is to realize this is such bullshit. I fear the haters will use this to grow more hateful, but honestly FUCK EM!!!

There is proof. Hard. Stone. Cold. Mfking. PROOF! That this article is really Kaia projecting all her shortcomings onto Austin.

Austin loves a good time & can drink anyone he knows under the table……they meant that thing LOVES a good time & WILL drink anyone she’s knows under the table. YEAH WE KNOW!!! We have proof, she fucking said herself “I don’t like missing parties” on that cringe ass podcast! To the point that she’ll not only crash a party, but she isn’t above sneaking in AND LEAVING HER FRIENDS BEHIND!!!!

Austin’s a bad boy……..they meant miss dodo is a bad girl who helps break up relationships & spends TWENTY MINUTES ALONE WITH A RANDO IN THE BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She dated PETE FUCKING DAVIDSON, who JUST got out of rehab, you think we don’t know she was partying? Her brother is a struggling drug addict and she was a model, are we supposed to think she didn’t experiment? Give me a fucking break, her 16th birthday was at a club 🙄

Austin takes his career seriously…….well we know that talentless hack doesn’t 🤣🤣 enough said there

She’s so fucking pathetic that even knowing about her existence makes me feel pathetic 🤦🏽‍♀️

I could say so much about her, and ykw? I mfking will.

She’s a spoiled nepobaby brat who’s never had to work for or get better at anything, because everything has been handed to her. Her ego is so fragile she’s still desperately chasing after a man who dumped her sorry ass SIX FUCKING MONTHS AGO. I mean can we talk about that PLEASE!! He dumped her SIX MONTHS AGO!!! And she started man hunting IMMEDIATELY AFTER, no doubt hooking up with some of them, which is fine, but BITCH MOVE TF ON & LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!! It’s so desperately pathetic, she’s paying, with real fucking money mind you, to bash her ex of 6 months WHILE BEING WITH A NEW MAN AFTER MANYYYYY!!!! If that’s not a sad ass mfk idk what is.

She’s has such low self esteem and it’s so fucking clear. She feels as invaluable as she is & GOOD! Be a better person & maybe you’d feel better about yourself. Just a fucking thought idk.

She needs to grow tf up & it used to be sad, because it’s so clear her “parents” failed tf out of her and her brother, but now? Fuck her idgaf I lost all empathy & sympathy for that parasitic asshole. At some point you have to look WITHIN & realize you lack the skills to be a productive member of anyfuckingthing and MAKE SOME GODDAMN CHANGES!!!

If “Austin fans” continue to support her after this I’ll be so fucking disappointed, but honestly it wouldn’t surprise me at this point. Their homegirl could spit in his face & they’ll still find a way to defend/support the bitch 🙄 birds of a fucking feather fs 💯

Talking about her ass makes me wanna drink so I wouldn’t blame Austin if he did whenever he was with her 😭 he sure did smoke whenever he was stuck with her ass, but I digress.

The amount of pure bull crap that is being stated in this article just blows my mind. 😒

This is the same man who Florence Pugh talked about having to drag out of his hotel room when in Budapest for "Dune: Part 2" filming in order to just hang out.

Austin is the same guy who Timothée Chalamet said was drinking tea instead of drinking alcohol with Jason Mamoa while in Brazil for CCXP ComicCon.

This is the same man who is a self-proclaimed wall flower. This man is not a party guy. The only "parties" he's attended have been for press and promo (most likely for "Elvis"). Other than that, this man is a homebody, and isn't a heavy drinker or hard partier. You can even just look at him and tell that he's an introverted and mellow type of guy who just minds his business.

If anyone is partying hard, it's [Redacted] 🙄

This now makes me question a lot of these Life & Style articles, because the stuff in this article is so far from reality that it's almost as if someone were making something up on the fly. 😒 You can even just look back on photos and see where Austin was and what he was doing most of the time. If he's not promoting something, he is not even spotted. It's been weeks since we've even seen him!

I swear -- 🙄 Her team is really determined to make him look bad because nobody is feeling her and Lewis, and most are actually bashing her for moving on so quickly.

There was "nothing normal" about Austin and [Redacted's] relationship alright, but it wasn't Austin's fault. 🙄

[skrrtscree]

Viva Las Vengeance is out so I decided to waste 43 minutes of my life and here's my thoughts.

Note: any song after Local God is my first time listening to it, so all these reactions were written as the song was playing.

Also I'm using the tumblr app so idk how to cut text sorry.

Viva Las Vengeance:

This song has already been shat on to death for good reason

The verse and the chorus don't fit at all with each other

And the slow part near the end is not it😬

Middle of A Breakup:

Just saying this now the lyrics on these songs are VERY on the nose AND unoriginal

'Keep your disco, give me T-Rex' tf is that suppose to mean???

It's meh. Not as painful as the first one for sure.

Don't Let the Light Go Out:

Said it before and I'll say it again: Ed Sheeran knock-off.

Shows that Brendon doesn't need uplifting beats and screehing to make a good song

Well 'good' is subjective but this is one fo the better ones.

Local God:

This song should be in JAIL.

I HATE IT I HATE IT I HATE IT IHATE IT-

Doesn't flow together AT ALL

It's 2022 Brendon why did you make an ENTIRE 3 MINUTE SONG about a guy you haven't talked to in YEARS???

Star Spangled Banger:

the title is a obvious lie, this shit ain't banging at ALL

Why is brendon sing-talking some parts in the verse?? Could he not fit all the lyrics in??

Good to know that the verse and the chorus not fitting together is gonna be a running theme throughout this album

God Killed Rock and Roll:

I swear the beginning of with the piano this sounds like a cheap knockoff of bohemian rhapsody

The musical flow of this song SUCKS so much its kinda funny. It starts with piano with an accompany of a chorus which is the only decent part of the entire song, then the pre-chorus has a quicker beat and the switch feels so abrupt.

I don't like that it sounds like brendon is trying to chase the lyrics in the chorus

Say it Louder:

Ngl the beat actually sounds good???

'For the people in the back(back,back,back) bros trying to create his own echo💀

None of it sounds out of place so far.. his voice does kind of sound a bit werid though its kind of expected of him at this point

OK nvm, it got slow again around the middle

Sugar Soaker:

The come on come ons do not fit the beat of the chorus. They fit the verses just fine though.

He's definitely making the choruses sound 'fulfilling' when it's just the verse but upped an octave. It just comes off as lifeless..

Wtf were those come ons at the end, its like hes creating dramatic tension through audio

Something About Maggie:

HELP NOT THAT HIGH NOTE FOLLOWED BY ALL THE LOW ONES, yeah that made me actually laugh

'Let him GOOO🤩' 'people say people say run away run away😈'

Sorry but the only ones who wrote a good line about slitting wrists were MCR and that was in 2004 🙄

Also Panic hasn't really been 'emo' since Fever (maybe Vices but that's pushing it) so not only is this line just yeesh it doesnt fit at all.😬

So glad Brendon decided to embrace his snake persona with how he's saying his s' at the end of sentences

'oh yeah'😚

Brendon PLEASE stop messing up the track by switching beats halfway through it

a a a a a a a a

Friendship ended with Sarah, now Maggie is my bestie

Sad Clown:

Title is kinda self-aware, ain't it?

Alright Brendon we know you were on Broadway but that doesn't mean you have to force yourself to sing like that on your songs

Only dogs can hear it I stg

Great he got slow AGAIN out of no where, cause that went so well the last time he did it (viva las vengeance)

All By Yourself:

Another self-aware title damn, he's on a kick with these.

He likes mentioning those posters on my wall. Ironically I have two IDKHOW and FØB posters and none of him lol.

Even with a slow song like this, it still feels like he's forcing himself to sing higher than he has to.

He was right about changing everything all by himself though.

This actually sounds pretty nice, I will admit.

Do it To Death:

What else is there left to say? It sounds the exact same as the other songs..

It keeps teasing me thinking he's gonna say something else-OH SCREW OFF NOW THIS 'shut up and go to bed' SHIT AGAIN

I sat through 40 minutes of your mediocre music just to get jumpscared with a viva las vengeance callback END ME

In short: im disappointed but not surprised. This doesn't even feel like Panic anymore. The lyrics are bland and repetitive, Brendons vocals are truely fighting on their last legs and the songs can't commit to a single beat. It's like he had too many ideas and thought he could execute them all but he couldn't. I can't believe this album is actually real, I refuse to listen to this ever again.

If the studio versions of these songs sound so dogshit, I canNOT wait to hear about the tour versions.

Bonus note: the song spotify decided to auto play right after finishing the album was Famous Last Words which idk whether to laugh or cry.

"hybe uses jikook to cover up the real ship which is taekook"

"hybe forces jk to do fanservice with jm to hide taekook"

"hybe promotes and releases jikook content on purpose to make more money"

these are all widely believed theories among taekookers.

and i think..its absolute garbage.

i was talking to an acquaintance the other day and while on the topic of bts and ships (she's an army+tkkr) she started talking abt how im "kinda dumb for being a jikooker", i asked why, she said "jikook is only used to cover up tkk's real relationship" and proceeded to carry on abt why she thinks so, and i sat and listened while suppressing my laugh bc it was so fucking funny how she wasnt able to provide a single concrete piece of evidence but continued to talk shit. knowing it would never end i got up and left. now im writing this here bc i can never think of a good response immediately lol.

"hybe uses jikook to cover up the real ship which is taekook"

suppose, you possess two gvns, one in your pocket and another at your home. but gvns are illegal w/o a license and you dont have one, the police are chasing you , so you run back home. you need to hide your gvn, you see the other gvn lying around and get a mindblowing idea.

"Let's hide this gvn behind that gvn, they'd never know!"

ofc they got to know. they found it immediately and you got your sentence.

now that you're reading this, you might think thats beyond stupid and no one would do that.

tkkrs existing: ....

bc how the fuck are you supposed to hide a gay ship with another gay ship? the backlash will be the same. the homophobia will be the same. the criticism will be the same. esp when the two ships have a common member. i have nothing else to say other than this is the most nonsensical theory ive heard.

"hybe forces jk to do fanservice with jm to hide taekook"

you guys are making out jungkook to be hybe's little puppet who cant say no to anything the company says. like are you talking about the jungkook who doesnt give a shit abt the company's orders? who will rebel when he feels like it? who will do whatever he wants, whenever he wants? the exact copy of jin? and we all know jin doesnt give a flying fuck abt the company rules lol. and neither do the other members. bts make their own rules. i thought we all established that ages ago? and what would hybe even do if they break rules? fire them? lmao, bts=hybe. hybe couldnt do anything even if they wanted to. besides yall are acting like hybe doesnt have anything better to worry about rather than getting fanservice scripts ready for jikook to follow.🙄

not to mention how yall are absolute shit at reading expressions and body language+actions.

jungkook :

*makes finger hearts and saying i love you to jimin and has done it multiple times before.*

*goes on a trip with ONLY jimin to tokyo, pays for all the expenses and makes a whole gcf abt it with "there for you" as the bgm*

*does an almost 2 hour live completely dedicated to jimin and fanboying over him*

*sucking jimins ear in front of thousands of fans to confort him*

*never forgets to reassure jimin, comfort jimin or give reassuring touches like massages and caresses*

*jungkook going all the way up to the mountain to bring snow for jimin bc he knows jimin loves snow"

*jimin travelling halfway across the world just to make it home just for jungkooks birthday* (and so much more)

yall: ITS FANSERVICE JK AND JM WERE FORCED.

like be fr rn🙄 yall only have a problem when its jikook istg.

this speaks for itself.

"hybe promotes and releases jikook content on purpose to make more money."

this is overwhelmingly stupid. okay so obviously a company would want to make more money, i mean its basically the whole purpose. and a company would choose the most efficient way to make money.

if we bring capitalising on ships into the equation, jikook is not the ship that would make them the most money. why? bc most of the shippers in this fandom are tkkrs. but in recent years, jikook has become the 2nd most popular ship in bangtan. but even so, its still the second best option, if hybe really wanted to take advantage of a ship, then they wouldve promoted taekook as a ship more than jikook bc then more fans would buy official content, there would be more engagements and more attention in general.

clearly these mfs decided to prioritize their ship over bangtan. if there were more taekook moments these mfs would've flocked to stores. also "why couldnt hobi get carried?" . bro. jungkook has literally kissed hobi on the neck/cheek and so has hobi. jungkook said "i never thought id fall for a man" while talking abt hobi in CNS. jungkook and hobi engage in lots of skinship. but i dont see yall calling that fanservice?? simply bc yall dont find koobi a threat to your ship and your fantasies lmao.

Anyways.

so why would hybe force out jikook content to make more money when they can make so much more money out of taekook content? the answer is they dont.

in conclusion, all ships have a lil bit of fanservice in them, be it jikook or taekook. but you cannot call an entire bond fanservice in order to fit your delusions. hiding a gay ship with another gay ship is plain stupidity and you know it. yet you will continue to make yourself believe it bc you dont wanna get your perfect little bubble popped. hybe doesnt control bts. bts are not hybe's puppets, they make their own goddamn rules.

i hope this was helpful in breaking down your delusions, have a good day now👋

edit: i cant believe im having to clarify this but this is not a post dismissing taekook's bond😭😭 i love taekook themselves, i just despise the ones who use the above narratives to "prove" their ship. im a jikooker and this is a jikook centric account, ofc im gonna mention mainly jikook moments here😭 please dont come into my asks fighting me on which ship is real PLEASE. yall only see the members for their ships god.

Ah, I see. I see. You've just reminded me why I avoid these video's with a passion ><

Well, in theory it’s valid. I don’t think anyone can really disagree with these points or the overall conclusion. I do agree.

However...

... in ‘Naruto’s case specifically, using only Sakura and Hinata to prove these premises makes it a terrible argument. The video undervalues some very great moments with other characters and makes really wild and wrong statements. (They use Tsunade’s hemophobia to make the point that female characters have no depth? Yeah, but that’s a very specific element that gave Tsunade depth...) And if you ignore or fail to pick up on author intent and then assign some role to these characters that’s either based off of assumptions or some personal desire (as much as it is mine in fiction as well), then of course it’s awful. 

Video about Sakura: “But the audience was never given a reason to emotionally connect with her”

Alright. Good. This is significant, so knowing this should tell us a huge deal about wh-

Also video about Sakura: “I want to reinforce the fact that she’s supposed to be a main character”, (video compares her importance to Naruto and Sasuke's importance, says it was supposed to be the same and then:) “She should’ve been as important as say Obito, Kakashi, or Madara”, (huh) “She’s just there to be the role of nurse for Naruto and Sasuke” 

... Certainly it will not tell us this. 

You can’t just ‘interpret’ the importance of a character, place them wherever you want them to be on the character-hierarchy scale and then blame the author/Mangaka for disappointing you and not writing them accordingly, lol. Arguing for the lack of prioritization concerning female characters is one very important thing-(I feel strongly about it myself, especially when ‘Shonen’ is used as an excuse)-but it makes no sense to say a character was “supposed to be” something when the actual story never supports it and then be all like *surprised Pikachu face* “why doesn’t the story show my assumption is true!? This is so very strange, it must be bad writing!” 🙄 Come on now. 

That doesn’t mean there isn’t a role to play, important or unimportant, to tell a story (not plot). Although sometimes related, occupation doesn’t determine what that role is. Neither does screen-time. Neither is “chasing Sasuke”, because it's just something she does. Sakura learning to become a medic-nin ultimately wasn’t to help people in need or to take care of them, (that’s just natural effect), but to try and keep up with her teammates/out of insecurity. That difference is made very clear with Rin for example, in many ways with Tsunade (and Ino? can't remember) as well and that difference is an important element about her role in the story. But, meaning in her case isn’t tied to healing or to provide. Certainly not for Naruto and Sasuke. (Someone asked me about her role. I’ll make a post about it later.) 

What do you think about this video? I know it's a dudebro video but he raised some great points about all the female characters and mentioned how Naruto and Sasuke have a better romance than anything else (other than shikamaru and temari, according to him 🤢) and there's ppl in the comments saying they wished Sakura would beat Sasuke 🙄

There's no link, so I'll just take your word for it ><! Someone else said they couldn't add links to the ask anymore so I'm not sure if it has something to do with a Tumblr change?

Unforgotten Night Episode 2

My brat with a British accent wanted to write this together. Her covering the sub and me covering the Dom. I told her that she was a sadist and this was supposed to be bad. Iffy “noooooo, no, I’m just a special word for someone who wants you to suffer with me” I've since learned that this was much worse than anticipated and the only thing keeping me from alcohol poisoning was the Coconuts Mafia. You will be able to find the lovely iffy’s companion post here.

Once again, we are starting off with a promo poster. Once again, I'm asking you what the fuck is this?! They look like they are standing, and someone tilted the picture. What the fuck is with that chain!? Are you planning to fix a bike after this? The Cullens called, they want their glitter back. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Episode one recap

Kim/sub/cry baby, a normal ordinary office worker, needs to move past a one-sided love. He figures that drinking, crying, and a one-night stand of the tickle slap variety should do it. Kamol/Dom/Ceo Pillsbury Dough Boy Mafia Boss, did creepily follow Kim into a bathroom, asked if he was drunk several times before preforming slap tickle.

Kim woke up to taco bell knock off of an English breakfast. Said Bitch please and put some damn common sense on and ran away. Unbeknownst to him, the mafia boss is "serious" about him. It's true lurveeeee. And I threw up.

Episode 2

Now what is truly sad, is that the Episode one recap had way more to it than episode 2. I shit you not. I thought I was watching previews. The main couple spent almost no time together and we spent more time with a side couple. THAT IS THE ONE KIM IS TRYING TO GET OVER. They are trying desperately to have us think they have chemistry but like the kiss was something that I'd give a frog. Actually I think there is more chemistry with the frog. You decide.

And somehow Kim magically knows his ex is getting that mediocre dick, so we are getting scenes of bad sex and cry baby. I mean, you guys the two girls fighting over a facial had more chemistry and were half the fucking entertainment.... OF THE ENTIRE EPISODE.

So, without further ado

That's it... That's the whole D/s element in all its melodramatic glory.

Seriously, most of series was a brief chase with no substance. I was let down by the hate watch! I didn't even get to hate watch because they gave nothing. 🙄 The biggest plus to the show was this shot......wait for it.. keep waiting..... yeah. I got nothing.

If you made it through all that, you a true fan. And iffy and I adore you for it! Thank you 💜
