#we're doomed T_T

[athousandbyeol]

Na, I'm gonna fucking scream!!! This show is everything. Like what the actual fuck??? 4/4 episodes had me tearing up. And the phone call... HOW DARE THEY MAKE A PHONE CONVERSATION SO ROMANTIC???

it's all in the small gestures. Honestly, one of the most realistic portrayals I have seen of what it's like to fall in love. 😭😭😭😭😭

And also when Po found the lyrics and then Thame asked him what his favourite song was, it was so similar to your fic (I was holding my breath as to if it's gonna flow like your story).

~ @tipsyjaehyun

rain i swear...... the brain rot is so crazy because this episode was so intense! it was so good T_T (I've said everything I wanted to say in this post hahahahaha).

i understand. thamepo is an amazing story. it's perfectly seasoned with spices and flavours and sweetness and AHHHHHHHHHHH really it's such a gastronomic experience watching their story unfold, not just between thame and po, but also thame with the members and po with MARS. it's so good I'm genuinely devastated T_T

they legit called us single (in capslock, bold font and red) during that phone conversation. but it was also so heartfelt and so well done in showing thamepo's emotional intimacy! love it! //and I get po, though... I'll be giggling and kicking my feet all morning because of thame AHHHHH//

i agree! it's so realistic because everything is balanced and not overly done. they gave so much thought to expanding the story from many perspectives, but also not forgetting to splash magic dust. it's so pretty but also bittersweet T_T

oh......... i'm sorry rain but which story are we talking about T_T I'm sorry I'm a bad person I keep forgetting when people mention my stories ahhh I'm sorry T_T (is it scarlet...?)

but anyway, good LORD is this episode breathtaking!

Part 3 of the things in Code Lyoko that would have given me trauma

And yes we're back again listing the things that most probably gave the lyoko-warrior PTSD and trauma outscreen T_T :

Being threatened to be pushed towar a lethal digital sea by your mind controlled friend Xanatified by your mortal ennemy

But then said Xanatified friend suddenly act intimatelly with you, like a mockery or the friendship/flirting there was between you when he was himself and free of possession

And then your possessed friend push you without a warning toward your doom

Being electrocuted until you pass out by a polymorph specter who took the menacing appearance of a man in black

Said man in black chasing after you when you already suffer from the trauma of being hunted by men in black

And I think being beaten down by such a threatening and menacing figure must also be tough and not just physically.

The show doesn't show any blood or serious injuries, but XANA certainly wouldn't hold back his hits, and if the show was more realistic the lyoko-warriors would certainly often be left bloody and bruised by XANA specters and would have been forced to hide their wounds with makeup and clothes without the intervention of the return to the past (which they must also try to limit even after XANA escapes from the supercomputer so as not to drain the nuclear battery of the supercomputer too)

Let's continue then

Almost being killed with your little brother and his best friend by a meteor shower

Seeing your xanatified friend try to fight off the mind-control of the evil AI (Interresting to note that of all the characters that XANA xanatified in the whole serie, William is the only one who tried to fight his control once), and seeing the suffering on William's face while he mentally and painfully fight for his freedom.

Thinking that Williamn finally won the mental fight

Only to brutally realize that XANA won that fight

Being trapped on an island with your teachers and classmates with an aquatic specter that threaten to fry all the island and everyone on it alive with electricity : "In seven minutes, everything on this island is gonna turn into one big barbecue"

Being alone and lost in a mortal digital sea, thinking you'll never get to see your family and friends ever again

The kidnapping of your mother in front of you eyes, you still have nightmares about it years later

Thinking that your father, usually trapped in the virtual world and digital sea, managed to find a way to spend some family time with you in a virtual simulation of your old home. Only to realize that it's a trap build by XANA who impersonated your parent

And then being cornered by a very intimidating mind controlled friend who has the gals to say "hello Aelita" to you in a very creepy manner

Seriously was he just waiting behind the door for Aelita to figure out the trap before almost jump scaring her ?

What's makes things worse in that scene is that Aelita is without her lyoko gear in that ghost channel, and thus she can't defend herself against a William who has the same appearance that he has on earth but can easily subdue Aelita just with physical strength.

And when Aelita manages to get away, XANA fully take advantage of her wolfphobia to chase her, and that prick Xanatified William keeps mocking her ("impossible to escape, this buble is your prison")

And it's somehow disturbing that the one lyoko-warrior that Xanatified William talks the most to on Lyoko is always Aelita, as if it's more personal with her than with the rest, yet they barely knew each other when William was free of XANA's control. This makes me think that XANA must be the one to really talk to Aelita through William distorted voice most of the times he confronts her (Not the first time a villain talk about themselves in the third person anyway).

I'd rather not talk about how particularly vicious William was on Lyoko with Aelita during the episode Kadic Bombshell, freaking sadist violently throws her against rocks and say some creepy crap that implies that he (or rather XANA) enjoys having Aelita at his mercy.

I so applaud Aelita for being able to disassociate the William freed of XANA's influence from the William who was their enemy after such experiences.

Yeah Aelita and Yumi really got no rest in this season

But let's continue

Being trapped in a fighter plane about to crash (yep no rest for Jeremie either in that season)

Being violently attacked and injured by robot dogs whose bites must hurt extremely (and if this cartoon wasn't for children, Ulrich would certainly be covered in blood during the picture bellow)

A jackhammer monster threatening to literally sink the digital ship without which you could die in the middle of the digital sea

Seing your cousin probably mortally wounded

Being the victim of a manhunt by your mind controlled whole shcool and your mind controlled parents

and said mind controlled parents almost killing you

(I know that episode was supposed to be a funny filler, but oh damn had that happened to me in real life I would have ended up sacred and mistrusting of my own parents, teachers and schoolmates for a while)

I don't think Ulrich had a good time either while fighting against a Xanatified Aelita in the previous episode

And being beaten down by a Xanatified William on earth must also have been painfull for Yumi

The poor girl looked terrified during that confrontation

And I just remembered a post that once talked about how the devirtualization process isn't painless for the lyoko-warrior when they lose all their PV :

Ulrich after being sheeshkebabed by William on Lyoko

and Ulrich after being crushed by the Koloss on Lyoko (literally)

Sometimes brutal Devirtualisation gives hurtfull sensations

Remember what Odd said after being devirtualized for the first time ?

"I think I'm about to throw up"

Fighting XANA wasn't just mentally draining and a source of constant stress for their mind and body, they had to endure a lot of physical painfull hardships too.

[coronangelic1]

i have an exam in 15 minutes waaa T_T i need to ace it because i promised myself that if i got a good grade i would buy a ticket for the We're All Doomed livestream ((im going to buy either way)) ((if i get less than an 80 im getting the ticket as a consolation price))

[tobiasdrake]

Finally, we're off to sea. If that's what you call this.

You know, this just occurred to me. If Patches has to keep his eyes shut to use his magic, how do we navigate? Like. Is it someone's job to rotate him? Take him by the shoulders and turn him left or right?

In any case, at least we're on our-- Hey, where the hell is Teaks? Did she miss the boat or fall overboard? Or was she the only one of us with enough good sense to go, "Hahaha nope, I'll wait for the next one."

I'd heard that no one ever returns but I'd just assumed the Dweller of Woe was eating them or something. Are they. Like. Community building instead? That'd be weird.

Kind of, then. It's like a psychic ranch. She keeps people as livestock and occasionally takes them out to slaughter.

Oh shit yes. Can we board it now? Trade in this dinghy for the spoils of our conquest? TELL ME we can do this side quest!

Aww, I wanted it to be ours now. But okay. Fine. We can do my thing first. Pout.

Hold up, how can the night be everlasting if we're expecting an eclipse? Night isn't what happens when the moon is present; It's what happens when the sun is absent. The moon has no authority over the night and day cycle, and is in fact frequently in the sky during day.

You cannot have an eclipse without a sun in the sky. The sky doesn't work that way.

Is the eclipse going to, like, magically pierce it somehow? Because, again, you can't have an eclipse during perpetual night.

Well, I guess if it's a lunar eclipse, you can. Those are pretty common.

You know, I kinda expected you guys to pull up close and make us swim the rest of the way while you hightailed it away from Psychic Cattle Farm Island. Surprised you were willing to stick your necks out like this.

Means a lot to me. I will try not to let you get eaten by the Dweller.

T_T I'm sorry I made fun of your stupid raft. This is really touching and now I want to be besties forever.

Guess we should set up camp and figure out--

TEAKS!

She did wait for the next boat. Or she swam. One or the other.

It's great to have you with us, Teaks. I'm sorry if you end up doomed forever because of it.

There are illusionary treasure chests hiding ghost ambushes. I hate this--

Oh. Pardon me. These are woodland spirits. Illusionary treasure chests hiding gaea's vengeance. The metaphysical consciousnesses that guide the natural order of our world want me dead for some reason. Can't imagine wh--

...okay, so perhaps I have not always been the most reverent of Solstice Warriors. We may have gotten off on the wrong foot. But. It doesn't have to be that way. I believe that, with maturity and grace, we can learn to understand each other and-- RANDOM BULLSHIT GO.

HAHAHA GOT 'EM. Test me, fuck-os.

You know, this is a nice little town the cattlefolk have made for themselves. We've got electric lighting. Nice homes. You almost don't even notice the gloom.

There's even transparent ghost people wandering near their graves! That's great. It means when the Dweller eats once of your loved ones, they come right back to you lickity-split.

You know, I was wondering. I figured there was some sort of low-level psychic barrier that just convinces everyone to stay, but no. It's threat of force. Everyone lives here in uncertainty wondering when the Dweller will summon them to be devoured, but if you try to leave then you're summoned immediately.

Denial? Your bar is denial? That's pretty clever, honestly. Points for that.

GARL NO

Do not give these people hope. They have no ability to influence what's about to happen in any way. If we win then they'll be free to go whether they knew it was coming or not, but if we lose then they'll be crushed by false promises. Hype is an insidious monster that strangles reality in its bed.

Let's just kill what we came to kill, and then we can start talking about it. It isn't news until it actually happens.

There's something about this place. Like. A commentary on the way we use escapism to distract from the hopelessness of living in a world that seems to be getting worse by the day. People meeting at The First Stage of Grief to share fictions of what they want their lives to be like, it resonates with our moment in time.

This place is really interesting.

Hold up, the squiddy on the end of Patches's staff is alive? I honestly thought that was a woodcarving.

Yeah, I have nothing to add to that. This place is a sobering reminder that action and glory are meant for something. In all seriousness, the end-goal shouldn't be the enrichment of the self, but of society.

An organization that claims ownership of violence for "the greater good" must always be cognizant that what they are doing is for the betterment of people's lives. Not of "society" as a whole even, but specifically, "Is the service I'm providing making people happier?"

📷🐰

Thank youuu Hack!! I hope you are doing well! 💛

📷 What’s set as your phone’s lockscreen?

I genuinely have not changed it in a hot minute, but it's of my husband (on right) and I with Daniel Howell (on left) at his We're All Doomed show when he was on tour! And no one asked but my home screen is the incredible art comm i got done by Moin because it still impresses me so much i love it T_T

🐰 What do you think says the most about a person?

I always usually get immediate vibes based on how the person talks to me when i first meet them. I guess how easy a person is to talk to, and if they really listen to you can show that they're empathetic and down to earth!

Send me some Asks!

Quitting

This thought has been over my head for how many months now. I thought that just by having a break, a vacation in the Philippines, everything will turn back to normal. But boii, I was so wrong. My vacation in the Philippines has elevated my desire to quit.

Few factors why..

The job sucks.. or maybe I suck. I'm not fit for that role. In my previous role, I do handle staff, but I have been in audit for more than 5 years. All I do is audit then I switched big time to accounting. Like I always say to my colleague, this application is my last resort, because companies are not hiring me, I'll just go back to the Philippines. But then this Company suddenly hired me. I'm in no managerial level as of now, so the pressure from the management is really throwing me off my bed. Okay so that's the part where I suck, the other part where they suck, is just the Company is all in ruins. No proper controls, no proper oversight from the top, one of the boss is arrogant, and all of that, they want me to handle their incompetence. Bro I'm just the FC, the top management should set the TONE, not me. Every week, I'm stressed out. It's like having a family that is so chaotic, and they hired me to "somehow fix" their family problem. And when I say family, I really meant family. They're all related T_T can you see the problem now? Another thing is, whenever my boss call me, or text me I get super anxious. :(

I have no one here. Before, when MJ was here, everything was bearable. My previous job was also a whack. They're a professional firm but their catch is mind games. They'll manipulate and gaslight you and they'll torture you and make you think that you're not enough and you're not doing your job properly. They're mean and racist! But we're past through that, what I'm saying is, even if my past job is mean to me, it's bearable because I have someone here. But now since MJ is gone, it's getting difficult again. It's been 7 months since he left. The first 5 months was okay, then I went back to the Philippines, then returned here again. It's not the same. I'm just here for 1 week ever since I returned and it feels like more than 5 months already. It's so hard :'(

It's more fun in the Philippines-- when you have money.

I miss my family and friends. When will this homesickness go away? How much longer should I suffer and bear this feeling? I still have 7 months from my contract and TBH, I don't know how will I finish that considering my case today. Almost everyday, I'm reading reddits stories of how they quit their corporate job or their high-paying jobs then went to a low-paying job because of stress and incompatibility.

Not to mention I prayed for this job, but this job is sucking all the energy I have. This job allowed me to go back to the Philippines and come here again. This job allowed me to still have salary even if I don't really earn it. BUT the toll of being here is heavier than being in my previous job (cause I like audit!!).

I was able to conquer the 5 months because of God's grace. REALLY WITHOUT HIM, I'M DOOMED.

What should I do now..

[mxltifxnd0m]

[hootlenoodle]

hello??? where's the ova where katarina and the gang try to make nikol laugh???

[raisedbyfandomwolves]

NO, WE'RE NOT😩(Yes, your are, and while so agree she's terrible, the whole witch trial thing is kinda...Dunno, I'm not the biggest fan of that since apparently many innocents were burnt like that🙈 Can we just make her suffer some other way? Or burn her non-witch trial-like?🙈) (Good☺ THEY COULD HAVE MADE EVRYONE SUFFER IN LESSER WAYS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO GO ALL OUT IN EVERY SINGLE ASPECT WITH TEN😭 I suppose it's the price we pay for caring...There's a cool quote from Loki actually(TBC))

(TBC:) "Love is a dagger. It’s a weapon to be wielded far away or up close. You can see yourself in it. It’s beautiful. Until it makes you bleed." Very accurate if you consider the love we have for so freaking tragic characters 🙈😭😭🙈 (MUAHAHAHA😈 …we're really unhinged sometimes😉😂😂) TtQ. Ha, an excuse to re-read😂😍 …Oh god, please let's stop contemplating this, the thought is really kinda just…just no!😅🙈🤢 TtQ2. EXACTLY! I FUCKING HATE IT!😭 POOR TONY😭(Haha yes but (TBC2)) (TBC2:) in our defense: They do keep screwing over all the angsty, tragic characters we for attached to FOR NO REASON AT ALL, so I guess our bitterness is justified, isn't it?😅😭😂😭 True true, and yes, that WOULD indeed be very nice😖 (Anything is better than angsty!Mon🙈 And haha, yeah, but why not? It solves problems and everyone is happy😉😂) My definition is at least 6 hours of sleep a night, aka a healthy amount😅 There, now have your fair trial: How much DO you sleep?🧐🤨 (4 mess)

YES YOU ARE! (No I'm not and fine... How do you suggest we burn her then?)

(EXACTLY! IT'S LIKE RTD DECIDED SINCE HE WAS GOING TO END HIS RUN WITH TEN HE HAD TO POUR ALL THE ANGST HE COULD THINK UP INTO TEN'S LIFE! I suppose... Nice quote, very accurate... Like I've been burned so many times now that every time I like a character or a ship part of me immediately wonders if they're somehow going to be doomed... ;_;)

(We really are. XD)

TtQ. Any excuse is a good excuse? XD Yes, let's stop before we vomit ourselves to death...

TtQ2. I HATE IT TOO! T_T (True but I suppose it can be argued that it was obvious the angsty, tragic characters would get screwed over more so we kind of brought it on ourselves a little for liking them...? It would be nice indeed... ;_; (Yeeeeep and yeeeep. XD)

...It rounds up to 6 so I meet the criteria. There, I'm innocent and should be acquitted.

Natzaka Drabble - Secret's Out

Erza: Something's been off lately... >__>

Lucy: I dunno what you're talking about. I've paid my rent ten times over~

Gray: Stingy.

Wendy: It hasn't been the same without niisan. T_T

Erza: *Eureka face* That's who's been absent...! Is he still not well?

Lucy: I dunno! Can't we do a few more jobs without him?! I'm, like, close to being a year ahead on my rent! :D

Gray: Since you've been taking my portion of the reward, I'm assuming it's okay to drop in whenever I want...

Lucy: -___-

Erza: Master? Has Natsu been by the Guild while we've been out?

Makarov: o.o H-He may have...?

Gray: Well, where's he been? I've been wanting to pound his face in. *punches palm excitedly*

Makarov: I cannot allow you to do that right now, Gray. Natsu is being responsible for once. >__>

Erza: Responsible...?

Makarov: Er... yes. *coughs awkwardly* He's been taking care of Kagura Mikazuchi.

Erza: *deathly still* ... For the past few weeks?

Makarov: Yep.

Gray: *edging away from the Killing Intent Erza is radiating* SHIT, GRAMPS! CAN'T YOU PUT THAT ANYMORE TACTFULLY?!

Makarov: Nope.

Lucy: *sees Erza's hair begin to float wildly* We're doomed! T_T

*doors are kicked open*

Natsu: We're baaack~ *freezes at the tense atmosphere* o.o Craaap... *sees Erza's pupil-less eyes trained on him*

Kagura: What's wrong, nii-chan? *licks her ice cream cone and pokes the back of his neck, as she rides on him piggyback* Nii-chan? Nii-chan? Nii-chan?

Lucy: 0.0 Is... Is that Kagura?! *trying to not squeal from how cute she looks*

Gray: She had a run-in with that Fountain of Youth, didn't she...

Makarov: Yep.

Wendy: *dismal aura* Small boobs, my role of 'cute one' being usurped... I'm useless... T_T

Natsu: O.O The hell, Erza?! *one moment she was by their team, the next she teleported to his left and was scooping Kagura off of his back*

Erza: You're just the cutest~ *stars in her eyes as she holds Kagura up adorably*

Kagura: Gimme back to nii-chan! *hits Erza square in the face with her ice cream* >.__>

Natsu: Aww, it's okay, Kagura-chan! Erza's not-

Kagura: Kiddy-nappers are baaad, nii-chan! >______
