#weirdo misinformation bullshit

[lookninjas]

I love how they visibly went for the most expensive shit in the grocery store and are complaining about the price.

(and yet also, at least at the Meijer near me, I could probably get that for a little over a hundred. It's a waste of a hundred dollars when you could get way more food by not specifically finding the most expensive shit in the store, but I could get it for that much.)

(also you'll get scurvy for god's sake have a vegetable.)

[prose-among-the-trees]

Syscourse is the stupidest shit ever. The fact that endogenic “systems” are being given attention at all is a problem. These arguments are pointless and they’re flooding the community with useless shit. If you’re still arguing with endogenics you’re wasting your time. These little weirdos are going to insist the most horrific shit and you feeding it makes them keep going.

I say flood the community with useless shit. I guess I’d say the entire did community had been completely flooded with misinformation and sensationalism. Absolute Bafoonery. Did spaces don’t feel safe anymore and all of this is the reason why.

Subreddits, discord servers, tumblr, instagram, TikTok- all flooded with bullshit. The only way I can get support is with a therapist who isn’t available at all save once a month. Online spaces that people try to find help for their mental health in have been absolutely ruined.

Everyone gets mad at subreddits like fdc and sc, and while I get the hate, they’re at least acknowledging an issue, even if the execution can (and often does) suck.

The everyone is valid argument while starting tag wars with endo weenies is the reason people with did struggle online. Both are a problem. Everyone is valid is a useless fucking statement coined by DissociaDID of all people- and if you’ve been on my page before you know my issue with them.

Fuck this community

[firecrackerhh]

Awwwwww did someone make a video on vivziepop that wasn’t full of misinformation, insults, and false accusations with little no evidence??? 🥺 oh you POOR THING! I’m just sobbing for you.

Get the fuck over yourself already, Jesus fucking Christ.

And for the love of God get a new goddamn hobby cuz for someone whose “left the fandom” and has “given up” you sure af don’t act like you have.

Whether you like it or not Viv will continue to exist and continue making her shows no matter how much you whine like a fucking baby.

Your morals are at best contradictory and at worst morally reprehensible. And your “activism” amounts to fucking nothing.

Literally every single thing people bitch at about Viv has been to some extent debunked. I don’t know what your end goal is here, but if it involves Viv deleting her entire fucking internet presence (cuz I imagine that’s what most antis want) you aren’t fucking getting it.

Die mad about it you fucking self righteous irritating horsefly of a human being.

The only way Viv would stop doing what she’s doing is if she fucking died. I sure hope you aren’t such a fucking POS as to want that.

And if there are antis that want that, I hope they get fucked.

Get a fucking life and get the fuck out already, everyone thinks you’re a fucking lunatic.

No one takes you seriously because it’s beyond obvious to fucking everyone (besides your equally as brain dead followers) that you clearly have something wrong with you.

I’ve seen this bitch’s YouTube videos, talk about schizoposting lmfao. Literally half the comments are people saying “this is fucking incomprehensible. Didn’t you say you would leave the fandom?” Etc etc.

I don’t care if I’m being mean, this bitch’s behavior is fucking morally reprehensible to me. I’m not obligated to respect a fucking weirdo stalker who tries to dress up their repugnant behavior as “activism”

You refuse to just leave it the fuck alone. You cause yourself nothing but mental anguish and for what? Nothing. I’m surprised if you aren’t a masochist.

Like hey I’ll be honest, I probably have some masochistic tendencies myself but at least I don’t dress it up like “I’m gonna fight those mean antis!!!” Like I’m some moral crusader.

I don’t think I’m better than Squidiot, not inherently or anything, I just know I’m a lot smarter because unlike them I have actual critical thinking skills.

Whatever mental anguish they suffer from their own bullshit is 110% their own fault and frankly I don’t have it in me to have sympathy for that shit.

Stop making your obvious mental illness other peoples fucking problem, for the love of god.

Touch grass, assuming doing so won’t immediately cause the ground you walk on to wither and die.

Guys I'm not saying that the way the world is becoming doesn't make it easier for cults to take advantage of people but like...

It's really funny that the satanic panic is mentioned but this *kiiinda* feels like that, but it's Millenials pointing the finger, so clearly we're in the right. Like where are the sources about Gen Zers getting into cults or spreading that kind of info over tiktok? All of this is hearsay. I'm not on tiktok admittedly but I've been looking online for anything suggesting this and have found nothing.. Unless you count links to this post. And a couple of articles about how Gen Zers are 'still susceptible to misinformation', but that's meant to debunk the idea that they're supposedly immune from it compared to previous generations.

You mention ohhhh the BOOMERS were especially susceptible to cults and those dumb naive kids are susceptible to cults, but you conveniently leave millennial and gen Xers out. Like guys you're literally doing that thing where you shake your fist and go 'kids these days!!!' to them, just like our parents did to us. I'm really just kind of tired of this thinly veiled superiority complex people my age are developing towards kids? I mean that's absolutely nothing new for humans, but it's still deeply tiresome.

My pals one of the most unhelpful things you can do for yourself are thinking you're above everyone else and *you* would never fall for a cult, or at least *you're less likely to* than your mom or your nephew because uh... *Checks notes* uhhhhhh *flips page* uuhhhhh... Because you grew up in a certain generation?... *flips another page* uuhhhhhh...

*drops notebook* Hey like, maybe if you're actually concerned about this and the well-being of The Youths, you could try and talk to some gen Zers yourself, or reach out to them in some way, instead of reblogging sourceless posts on tumblr.com? But not in this way because actually, I remember people talking like this to me as a kid and it pissed me off a lot (and I know it was the same for a lot of us, but I guess some people have forgotten and thought *they* didn't deserve it but nowadays kids do). Everyone loves when older people talk down to them, it's a great way of establishing meaningful communication.

One story I particularly remember are when these bracelets called silly bands were really popular when I was in high school. I never really got into them but I got a few as gifts, and a lot of my classmates did, especially girls. They either traded them, bought them online, or got them at irl stores when those stores realized they were getting popular. They were very, very, very cheap.

But then some weirdos made up the rumor that teenager girls (always teenage girls, never boys of course) were doing sexual favors for adults (grown men, in this case) to get more silly bands like. No. They weren't. They were going to Clair's and getting twenty for one dollar in usd, or trading them with classmates. It's much easier to go to Clair's than to find some creep looking for favors from teenagers anyway. Something similar that I only learned about after the fact was the myth of 'rainbow parties' where teens would supposedly have orgies where girls would wear lipstick of different colors and perform oral sex on different boys so they'd have multiple colors of lipstick on their genitals. That was also total and utter bullshit.

So yeah, I'm *a bit* skeptical when I see this sort of thing come into my sphere.

My hypothesis is that in like 10 years gen z is gonna have a big cult boom the way the boomers did in the 70s

[silver-wield]

So is this another gaslight from Clerifs? Saying that Clotis say Hollow is about Zack? I’m finding it hard to keep up with the lies. Because they claim we say it’s ONLY about Zack.

And I have played the OG, I understand Clouds story but that doesn’t change anything when the things I’m seeing are “Clotis say Hollow is about Zack”. I don’t really know how to follow every single discourse in the fandom so I don’t know why you have other anons trying to say I don’t know the story and I’m just new for not being able to navigate this shit fest of misinformation. It’s a marvel how any fan can, “OG” or not at this point. But that kind of gatekeeping and patronizing of “oh you must be new here” for not being able to follow one thing that’s been muddied to shit really pisses me off in this fandom.

Tbh it's hard to know if people are new or just confused, so it's an honest mistake, especially with how widespread info is and how badly it gets twisted by the cult.

So, it was actually multis who stated that it's about Zack only after seeing the Kitase interview comment, and because they're idiots who low key hate canon and will do anything to undermine Tifa, they gaslit clotis into repeating it. Ofc some clotis are actually dumdums in disguise, so it's easy to get that info spread around like the bullshit it is.

Tbh this fandom is full of so many fakes and weirdos trying to pull off intrigues and gotchas all over a bunch of pixels that don't fuck another bunch of pixels of their choosing, I always end up chasing sources myself over trusting someone else's account.

If they'd just stfu and follow the plot the fandom would be so much more peaceful.

[elliegoose]

tbh it's kind of extremely irresponsible that internet safety is not generally part of sex ed for teenagers. as someone who has grown up to be a certified gay horny weirdo, finding out about online kink/fetish communities was an important part of my healthy sexual development as a teenager. doing so helped me figure out what i'm into, but even more importantly, it helped me be okay with having unconventional interests and being queer. now, because i had somewhat decent judgement, i knew it would be a very bad idea to try to actively participate instead of just lurking, so no adults ever tried to take advantage of the fact that i was around these spaces, but i was still definitely not being as safe as i could have been.

teens—especially kinky and queer teens—almost inevitably end up exploring online material catering to their sexual interests, and this is not a bad thing! being able to work out what your preferences are and form identity around your interests is a key part of healthy and happy development. we should just be teaching teens to be safe online when exploring erotic content and information related to it, and to not try to befriend adults in these spaces. however, because of our society's bullshit fears around sexuality, a lot of adults just pretend we can tell teenagers to somehow abstain from ever using the internet to explore this fundamental aspect of themselves. and like all abstinence-based sex ed, this just leads to misinformed teens getting hurt.

serious answer i read that post in the faith it was written and i know u know that bc i think ure the op LOL. saying we live in a racist society =/= 'we're ALL RACIST'. you can have unconscious biases due to society feeding u misinformation for example thinking welfare fraud is rampant in inner cities when its simply a lie and most fraud is done by rich WHITE owners of businesses. but racism in the sense of denying ppl humanity and belittling them is actually quite easy not to do. we're not all racist. and to say EVERY ethnicity is racist in response to a KOREAN man being colorist to ANOTHER korean man is hand waving away personal responsibility. 'aw uwu this GROWN ASS MAN can't NOT insult his friend bc racism is inescapable from birth unless you're reading 400002-22-2--23993 anti racism books nvm that so many ppl around the world have admitted they have never been racist bc they actually have bare minimum respect for others'

that post was just saying some random ass man can't help being racist bc american led antiblackness. nvm that colorism is global and in areas particularly in asia its also classism (workers in the sun royalty in the sun) and then ofc got melded into antiblackness. saying 'oh we're all racist' takes the responsibility away from the individual. we're not ALL racist. and then that weirdo went on to imply we're fucking BORN racist bc of the system lolllll. i'm not racist so i do believe koreans actually aren't all brainwashed on birth to hate black ppl and that they can, as others have, reject the racist system. acting like u need to do sooooooooooo much work to NOT look at someone in their face and call them a MONKEY bc of their skin color is quite literally deranged. there's something fundamentally wrong with you if you believe that and it's bullshit racist liberals love to say to handwave away the fact that THEY choose to speak racism out of their mouths 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 like if u lot care abt antiblackness like u claim u do (i know u don't) you would look at the notes and see all the black ppl who agreed that 'everyone is racist' is a bad take that does nothing but encourage non action bc u are basically saying 'can't not be racist so why even bother to hold ppl accountable' and internalize that and ummmm not agree. but here u are. wrong. talking down to me, the minority u swear u wanna uplift so bad, are your actions and your beliefs aligning rn? i don't think so

Stop reading things in bad faith. You do realize we live in a racist society so that means people are going to be racist even if it's unintentional.

did u just call me an uneducated n****r????? wow! WOW!

[princessnijireiki]

it's pretty rare for me to stumble across an odinsblog post I want to engage with lately (they blocked me several years ago, no clue why) but I wanted to reblog a post out of anger, honestly, because this is so fucking mean spirited.

how do you see a doctor personally facing multiple deaths & grieving families of people who are realizing in a drastic, severe way, that they are victims of misinformation, or fearmongering, or propaganda... who before now were honestly made victims by stuff like state controlled school curriculums not teaching then, or their parents, or their grandparents, about vaccines, or about critical thinking when presented with bullshit but on a "news" website or a pretty letterhead... and then go "har dee har, darwin awards" while blaming it all on bad politics.

when on top of all that, WE KNOW there was MASSIVE black vaccine hesitancy because for MONTHS I heard & saw people speculate that lower numbers in africa meant black people were immune, saw scared people cite tuskegee. a lot of y'all felt that way until black & brown hispanic people became the us's biggest casualties, and in very specific hot spot cities. a lot of people have local gov't leadership undermining federal or cdc data coming in, or manipulating what news coverage people even get, all on top of trump's meddling with the media & refusal to reveal coronavirus until it was too late. shit, unless you followed international news closely back in jan/feb '20, most americans who didn't listen to trump still didn't know covid was HERE and this pandemic would touch US (or tbh a lot of people didn't know it existed) until march. a lot of folks got old people who were already medically hesitant individuals for whatever reason & wanna act like that's not the same fucking thing.

trump fumbled this pandemic, he fucked up in a lot of ways & fed the machines that continue his work of propagandizing & killing people for him, I'm not saying his politics DON'T directly correlate with the people who supported him believing his bullshit, but you're still talking about people victimized by political lies into passing around a deadly virus.

and it's nasty as hell to take a doctor saying "people of all different demographics & ages are dying before my eyes and having last rites read in front of me and their grieving families in a hospital room, and all I can do is tell THEM to get vaccinated and pray more lives are saved in the aftermath of this senseless death" and immediately crack jokes amounting to "should've voted for the other guy, haw haw" when the last pandemic "we handled well" across the entire political spectrum was jonas salk giving away the polio vaccine. and it's all well & good & cute to play pretend otherwise now, but there's no guarantee bernie or hilary or WHOEVER wouldn't have drastically fucked up, too, or that the kinds of white supremacist q anon conspiracy theorist weirdos wouldn't have hit their peak selling these same lies in donald trump's name (or not!) these last few years regardless.

twarries

omg twarries, what a complicated topic right?

twarries are the “larries” of twitter, they are not just any “larrie” who uses twitter obvious but they are all the larries that fit the stereotype of the typical “larrie” of twitter.

how is this stereotype?

they are SUPER misinformed, they repeat old or debunked theories constantly, they don't know which photos/videos/things in general are debunked or not, they invent theories with null foundations, they believe in one or more stunts and in which they don’t believe they romanticize them, they believe that freddie is son of louis, they steal theories of tumbrl but they call us bluegreeners, they don’t know or confuse the terms, they normalize toxic relationships, they have no IDEA of the industry (hopefully they know how to differentiate syco, sony, simon and modest from each other), they are super aggressive and to everything that they can’t argue they respond with "kill yourself", they are harassers because they live sending hate messages to your dm’s for every tweet you upload that doesn’t fit their way of thinking, they are between 11-18 years old, they cry for everything, they make drama for everything, after reading a thread of an anti they are already thinking of stopping believing, they literally believe EVERYTHING they read, they have no common sense, etc and i can continue.

i could honestly make an eternal post explaining why it’s wrong to be the kind of person that twarries are but anyone with more than two neurons will realize that isnt good to be like that.

of all the bad things that twarries have, without a doubt the worst is their lack of tolerance to other thoughts, if you don't think like them, they don’t give you arguments to convince you otherwise, they'll bar you with “kill yourself” “weirdo” “psychopath” “deactivate” and i can continue. they don’t understand that a random twitter user isn’t going to change their opinion because they send hate messages at them. this not only shows that they don’t have mental maturity but the null arguments they have above all, why if you have so many arguments do you resort to insult? if you have a lot of arguments, show them right?

each one has different opinions, i don’t share an opinion with billions of people but that isn’t why i’m going to resort to insulting them in that way, it’s an unjustified hatred and worst of all is that they don’t measure what they say, they don’t know how it can affect the other person. nowadays a random user tells me to kill myself and i laugh but if they had done it to me at 15, i probably wouldn't have had a good time. they don’t know the situation of the other person and they don’t know how those words can affect them, it’s hypocritical to share threads about mental health and then say “kill yourself” to every person you come across.

it seems to me that it’s not necessary to continue explaining why it’s wrong to be a twarrie, anyone who thinks can realize that everyone deserves respect.

why do twarries call us bluegreeners to the tumblr ones?

the term bluegreener was started using for people who commented “💚💙” “LARRYYY” “touch your hair if larry is real” and all that bullshit in any live/publication of the boys or their relatives/friends. clearly it’s not necessary to explain that commenting this is useless because just because some idiots tell them that, they won’t confirm larry. in itself it’s unbearable to see a thousand of the same comments in the publications of the boys but it’s worse in the publications of the relatives or friends because it becomes harassment, the lives of their friends or relatives do not revolve around larry.

as time went by, the twarries began to use that term for anyone who doesn’t think like them, so they call us bluegreeners for not believing in babygate, for saying that they dedicate songs for eachother, for basically using our neurons.

as the term lost its original meaning and now they basically use it to refer to “the tumbrl ones” it’s not used here.

conclusion: don’t be a twarrie, get informed🤍

twarries

omg twarries, que tema tan complicado no?

twarries son lxs “larries” de twitter, no son cualquier larrie que use twitter obvio pero son todxs lxs “larries” que encajan con el esteriotipo de la tipica “larrie” de twitter.

como es este estereotipo?

estan SUPER desinformadxs, repiten teorias viejas o desmentidas constantemente, no sabes que fotos/videos/cosas en general estan desmentidas o no, inventan teorías con fundamentos nulos, creen en uno o mas stunts y en los que no creen los romantizan, creen que freddie es hijo de louis, roban las teorias de tumbrl pero les dicen bluegreeners, no saben o confunden los terminos, normalizan las relaciones tóxicas, no tienen IDEA de la industria (con suerte saben diferenciar entre sí a syco, sony, simon y modest), son super agresivxs y a todo lo que no pueden argumentar responden con “matate”, son acosadorxs porque vivien mandandote mensajes de odio al privado por cada tweet que subis que no encaje con su forma de pensar, tienen entre 11-18 años como muuucho, lloran por todo, hacen drama por todo, despues de leer un hilo de una anti ya estan pensando en dejar de creer, literalmente creen TODO lo que leen, no tienen sentido común, etc y puedo seguir.

sinceramente podría hacer un post eterno explicando porque esta mal ser la clase de persona que las twarries son pero cualquier persona con mas de dos neuronas va a darse cuenta que no esta bueno ser asi.

de todas las cosas malas que tienen las twarries sin duda la peor es su falta de tolerancia a otros pensamientos, si no pensas como ellxs no te tiran argumentos para convencerte de lo contrario, te bardean con “matante” “down” “droppealo” “mogolica” “invalida” “enferma” “desactiva” y puedo seguir. no entienden que un usuario random de twitter no va a cambiar su opinion porque le tiren mensajes de odio. que hagan esto no solo demuestra su poca madurez mental sino los nulos argumentos que tienen sobre todo, por que si tenes tanto argumentos recurris a insultar? si tenes muchos argumentos mostralos no??

cada uno tiene opiniones distintas, yo no comparto opinion con miles de millones de personas pero no por eso voy a recurrir a insultarlos de esa forma, es un odio injustificado y lo peor de todo es que no miden lo que dicen, no saben como le puede afectar a la otra persona. hoy en dia un usuario random me dice que me mate y me río pero si me lo hubieran hecho a los 15 años probablemente no la hubiera pasado bien. no saben la situación de la otra persona y no saben como le pueden afectar esas palabras, es hipócrita ir compartiendo hilos sobre la salud mental y despues decirle “matate” a cada persona con la que te cruzas.

me parece que no es necesario seguir explicado porque esta mal ser twarrie, cualquier persona que piense puede darse cuenta que todxs merecen respeto.

porque lxs twarries nos dicen bluegreeners a lxs de tumbrl?

el termino bluegreener se empezó usando para la gente que comentaba “💚💙” “LARRYYY” “tocate el pelo si larry es real” y todas esas pelotudeces en cualquier vivo/publicación de los chicos o de sus familiares/amigxs. claramente no es necesario explicar que comentar esto es inútil ya que porque unxs boludxs les comenten eso no van a confirmar larry. de por si es insoportable ver mil de comentarios iguales en las publicaciones de los chicos pero es peor en las publicaciones de los familiares o amigxs porque se convierte en acoso, la vida de sus amigos o familiares no gira en torno a larry.

a medida que fue pasando el tiempo, lxs twarries empezaron a usar ese termino para cualquier persona que no piense como ellxs, así que nos dicen bluegreeners por no creer en el babygate, por decir que se dedican canciones, por basicamente usar nuestras neutonas.

como el termino perdió el significado original y basicamente ahora lo usan para referirse a “lxs de tumbrl” aca no se usa.

conclusión: no seas unx twarrie, informate🤍

[angeloncewas]

angel, some advice please - how do i a) respond to and b) not feel super upset by seeing literal misinfo being spread about dream? i came across a reddit comment thread today where someone posted the Doc (the bad one) and people were talking about how upset they were by the things in the doc, several of which i know to be false or dearly lacking the context/apology. i sent one of the people who seemed the most hurt a dm explaining how hes not as bad as the doc makes him out to be, but i still feel like crying, to be fair. thank u in advance!

Aw anon ;;

First of all, make sure to take a deep breath and drink some water, because those kinds of situations can make you really tense without realizing it and it's important to take care of yourself !

Second, what you wanna do is up to you. I'm not sure what the general consensus toward him is on Reddit, but if it's not too taxing it might be worth it to make people aware of the misinformation presented. There's a doc that was made in response to it that might help (though I've heard others say that it really only sets him up further), and there's all sorts of bits and pieces of evidence that disproves stuff in that doc (like the transphobia accusations were basically "dude, trust me" + the videos with Notch have since been taken down, etc etc). If they were upset to see what the doc said, then they'd be relieved to see the evidence to the contrary.

Try not to use words like "anti" because those usually make you seem biased. Instead present the facts as if they're common sense (which, y'know) and remain level-headed, even though it might be hard. That's usually what gets people to listen - or at least consider listening - because they seem like the weirdo if they get super upset at someone just saying what happened (unless they're a part of a mob like that post on here with the payment accusation, ugh).

As for not feeling super upset, there's not a single solution. I like going through @/vicea's blog for comforting Dream clips when people are being shitty (she has a great tag system), but it might be better to go to things that aren't related to him at all - depends on what makes you feel better. It's just important to remember that there will always be crap on the internet and it's not your responsibility to try and combat it all. Dream's got a lot of good people in his corner and even a lot of people who aren't the biggest fans of his will defend him when the situation is bullshit. I know how frustrating misinfo can be, but they're in the wrong for blindly believing it and really they're just one tiny group of people online.

Dream wouldn't want you to feel like crying over some idiots :< asjkds. It's gonna be okay, regardless of what you choose to do ! I really hope you feel better soon <3

[fuck-deep-in-meow-cats]

ok but also fuck this post for purposeful misinformation.

this isn't a prevailing anarchist position

This isn't even a common anarchist position. you sought out the bizarre armpit of anarchist discourse populated by largely fucking disavowed anticivs and anprims and slapped a "LOOK AT ANARCHISTS ARENT THEY POINTLESS??" label on it for shock value and clout.

As a disabled person who is in fact reliant on quite a number of meds, and also an anarchist, it's incredibly unhelpful and purposefully divisive to try and cause schisms between leftist communities at large who are absolutely fighting for your rights because you got into a screaming match with a few weirdos from the most bullshit corners of the political landscape.

fuck your infighting. organize.

Please for the love of fuck stop talking about important stuff online, it is clearly not your strong suit.

[risaonda]

The fact that you’re continually spreading false info about someone you haven’t had contact with in 5 years is disgusting. You’re welcome to dismiss their apology as insincere, but spreading misinformation is a different beast. You’re lucky they haven’t sued you for libel, considering you have no idea how they are these days.

hey look i actually remembered u shout out 2 tumblr for not getting rid of the number next 2 the inbox on desktop even tho i've seen these on mobile LMAO so here's ur Genuine Response

first of all, point me to the latest instance of me saying literally ANYTHING about them. also elaborate for me what "false info" ur talking about pretty please with a cherry on top <3 because nothing that i've said irt the shit i put up with from them is false just because it upsets u that some random person online that u apparently idolize, based on how u are here in my inbox having a complete fucking meltdown, has hurt people. sorry u are so pressed, this is absolutely not normal. i can't imagine what kind of freak u need to be to go to random strangers' inboxes going "ur lucky ur abuser doesn't sue u for talking about ur abuse" like i think that u should maybe log off or just completely remove urself from this situation which has literally no bearing on u

this entire message is just. idk where to even start. i don't think they're the only one ever saying anything about me, i don't think i've ever said or even implied as much. idk where that thought even came from. their weirdo friends and fans used to come into my inbox all the time, anon and not, like hello?? also i love that this is worded in a way implying u are responding directly to me. like this is a reply to something that i said today. what are these messages in response to beloved bc between u and me, u are the only one that seems to know

my blog is easy to find because i have made sure it is easy to find and i have never made it difficult to find me anywhere. i've literally said so many times in the past that i would so much rather people see my blog than most other bullshit places people go to when it comes to finding information for this specific situation, because i am actually involved and every other place people get information is some stupid drama site full of people who have never even so much as Spoken to them. my blog is literally intentionally easy to find. hello.

"since they're all you fucking talk about" again: WHEN is the last time i actually did talk about them, genuinely, bc i couldn't even tell u. recently i think i've just been talking about movies i'm watching, actually, so i think u are maybe just obsessed with a situation that has literally fuck all to do with u and u are mad as fuck for no recognizable reason whatsoever. like u are creating a problem with me in ur own mind and freaking the fuck out about it. but stay mad i guess dude i literally don't even know u LOL

i haven't lied about their apologies and i don't think i've ever even said they never apologized, at least not as like. a flat point blank statement. "we all saw the screenshots" really got me too because like my god...who do u think POSTED the screenshots. what are u

they have offered completely meaningless "sorry"s in the past that were followed immediately by them continuing the behavior they were apologizing for. now maybe i'm just crazy but i think saying sorry for something and then doing the same thing over and over and over is not really an apology. that's what i mean whenever i criticize the "apologies" they so desperately hang onto in order to avoid any accountability for their actions. like idk how else to say it this really is not a difficult concept to grasp and i cannot believe i even need to say this. i cannot believe this is not the first time i'm even saying this. have u actually looked at anything i've said or are u making this all up as u go and handling ur frustration with that based on how u think everything's gone?

this message is my favorite one bc it really just blows me away. this one makes me convinced that u think i'm someone else instead of like...me. like what are u talking about. when have i ever done any of this. u are insane

"change according to my standards or i'll continue spreading lies about you" when the reality of all of this is i am and have literally only ever been saying "hey i think taking actual accountability for their actions is like. necessary."

if they are trying to do better that means acknowledging they have done things they need to work on and be better about. sorry that my standards aka "stop ur cycle of abuse so as not to hurt more people, be honest about this, and don't continue harming those u already have hurt" are too high, but also i literally don't give a shit or fuck. if that's asking too much then ur not a changed person, full-stop.

i think what is so funny abt people like u is if they have really and truly have changed and they are growing as a person and bettering themself, i think the very LAST thing in the world they would want is some random freak online going after the people they're supposedly trying to repair things with. like literally what are u doing here if not trying to just make my perception of them significantly worse? this is for u

[freudenstein]

youre so sx overfocused it hurts. everything you rb (and call sx) is horny sx blind shit and youre trying so hard so shit on soc it not only feels forced but makes u look like this🤡

Lmao the typo tunglr bulli voice, are you 17? Trying to be big scawy typology police? You think this little clown face makes you seem threatening? :'^D When the previous generation did this, they did it off-anon, you wannabe.

Listen, I don't throw hands with kids on Tumblr brainrot, and don't tell me you're an adult with that spelling and grammar lol. I'm sorry my sx overfocus hurt you x) you're either that or soc overfocused so it must already be painful to be you. I never tagged anything as sx lmao but i have spoken about what it is, and you ignored that, and I am not afraid of speaking more about it if i'm sent a genuine ask. (Wtf are you assuming is me tagging sx, you projecting weirdo...)

Anyways, I am not hating on soc more than i always did, and it's only bad soc that I like to diss on, especially because some shit happened to me due to it on Twitter which made me go back to Tumblr, as I know you haven't noticed because I literally made a post about how things i consider my favorite are soc dom but you didn't see that either. My soc is important to me and so is it for every SX/so who isn't on the same brainrot as you.

Why are you so threatened that I'm an SX dom? You sound like you're projecting, little dude. You selected some of my new posts, filtered them with your distorted perception, and then came in my askbox policing a stranger about being sx blind with bullshit arguments. Like bro, what do you gain from this? The old argument was that people were spreading misinformation by making posts about their types when they weren't that type/didn't have those functions, which supposedly hurt the greater good (soc overfocusd Fe user voice) but I'm not doing that, so what makes you think you have the right to come here and question me? I can literally be anything I want and you won't stop me dude 😂 answer just this question and I'll consider you.

[coptergal]

After looking around Tumblr, I saw alot of hate being sent to certain people for being different or as you fucked up anons call them "Weirdos". The people you all harassed just wanted to draw mpreg and because of all the hate being spread towards mpreg fans, I'm too scared to either draw or post mpreg on my blog. Even if a make an mpreg sideblog, You guys would get on my ass and throw your major tantrums on said blog, Saying shit like "I dOn'T wAnNa SeE mPrEg! I hAtE iT!" or "We HaTe YoUr ShIpPiNg OpInIoNs As It RuInS mY sHiP aNd My OwN oPiNiOnS aRe "CaNoN"!". First of all shut the fuck up you mpreg hating cunts, Blacklist the shit you hate, Get off our asses and take a good look at what YOU personally like you spoiled, Entitled, Karen-headed simps! The reason why I'm making this vent post is because.... It's actually a PSA! A PSA that stops millions from sending hate to those who like mpreg, Vore, Furries ect. No, You can't just guilt-trip people for having opposing opinions. Mpreg can't make you suicidal, Vore can't make instantly depressed and for the last time! Avoid faking suicide as that is one step too far. Doxxing doesn't instantly "Make your opinions more better than others". Heck, You sad, Miserable sacks of horse shit go as far as to spread misinformation such as "Unpopular opinions are toxic! Stay away and have more popular opinions!". That just makes you toxic for saying shit like "Shut up with your mpreg fantasies and stop being autistic, Delete all of your accounts and die in a fire you ungrateful child!". Also making malicious art of people for any reason would just make YOU look like a tantrum-throwing, Shit-eating, Retarded, Piss-drinking toddler born from the firey pits of a place far worse than hell. Stop criticizing people over not getting your way and what the actual fuck do you mean "Mpreg is Transphobic"? That is a fucked up and atrocious lie some group of hypocritical, Diapar-wearing morons made for the sake of bullying someone named @sally-the-pack-leader. Heck, Someone named @emmys-mpreg-corner is extremely lucky to not bombarded with such extreme hate-filled bullshit. I hope to God @carogoat11037 is doing alright cause if they're hurting, Deep down. I'm bout to go Yandere mode if the lot of you anons/haters continue to mess with us. Even my friend @lil-miss-misfit is probably suffering(Emotionally) because some dipshit made a mockery of her for being the type to like vore. Stop making fun of others. I may like mpreg but I don't treat it like a kink. Nor do I shove it in your faces but you guys like to shove pure malicious hatred in our faces. Stop, Just stop it. People can draw what they want, Post what they want and even talk about what THEY want so shut up, Stop looking at it, If you hate it, Go somewhere else and look at the shit, You DO like instead of being a bigger shit than Lumistartbun. If you don't want her to win then stop bashing people in extreme ways over an opinion, Kink, Disorder or anything that you hate. You guys might end up being no better than idk, Annoying brats like Madame or Lumistarbun. I like mpreg so expect me to be defending it from you cunts. Go fuck a big car with shark teeth and shut your whining!

Fic: That Cycle Thing (ao3 link)

Fandom: Flash, Legends of Tomorrow Pairing: Barry Allen/Mick Rory Series: Flashwave Week 2018 (Destiny Series)

Summary: "It's kind of weird, though, isn't it," Barry says, sitting in the clinic for the first time. "You know, that being a superhero or a supervillain is correlated with - well, developing a weirdo reproductive system?"

"Not really," Mick says. "See, it's not correlation. It's the other one."

"Causation? Wait, like, being a superhero means you go alpha or omega? But how?"

A/N: @flashwaveweek - Flashwave Week: ABO

——————————————————————————————

"New one, huh?" the big guy asks, not without sympathy.

"Yeah," Barry says. "Is it that obvious?"

"Kind of is," the guy confirms. "Mostly in the freaked-out way your eyes keep darting around. Don't worry. This place is totally confidential and a, what do you call 'em, a safe space."

"I appreciate that," Barry says, very sincerely. "I mean, you hear stories..."

"Pornorgraphy, you mean," the guy says.

Barry laughs. "Yeah, I guess. It's kind of weird, though, isn't it, that being a superhero or a supervillain is correlated with - well, developing a weirdo reproductive system?"

"Not really," the guy says wryly. "See, it's not correlation, it's the other one."

"Causation? Wait, like, being a superhero means you go alpha or omega? But how?"

"You know how a while back, Superman was the only major superhero?"

"Yeah?"

"You know how he and his cousin are basically the last of their species?"

"Yeah?"

"I'd like you to imagine a computer-robot-creature capable of reprogramming the human genetic code being real unhappy with that fact."

"Wait. Are you telling me -"

"The whole alpha-omega shit all of us powered folks get saddled with is designed to make us reproductively compatible with Kryptonians? You bet your ass. Literally, if you're an omega."

"That's - that absolute bullshit! Why not make them compatible with us?!"

"We've all asked that question," the guy says. "All of us. At length. Usually at volume. Everyone reacts differently to finding out about the cycles, but that reaction’s pretty consistent.”

“No wonder.”

“Either way, that’s one of the reasons why capes end up dating each other more often than not. My name's Mick, by the way."

"Barry," Barry automatically replies, then flushes. "I mean -"

"No, no, it's better this way," Mick says. "No hero identities in the clinic. Keeps fights and rivalries from the outside from coming inside."

"Right. That makes sense."

A companionable silence settles on them for a little.

After a few minutes, Barry clears his voice.

"No, it's nothing like the tabloids say it is," Mick says.

"Oh thank god," Barry says. "That stuff about, like, heats and ruts..."

"You get cramps and a mild fever and you're, like, a little more horny than usual," Mick says. "Pretty similar to a woman's menstrual cycle. Nothing at all like the mindless fuck-or-die no-standards do-anyone bullshit you hear about."

Barry sighs in relief.

"Don't get me wrong, sex helps with the cramps and stuff," Mick adds. "But it sure as hell isn't a total loss of your ability to make decisions. Unless you're, like, into that, but that's your own business, y'know?"

"Good," Barry says firmly. "That was - yeah. Not good. I don't know what I was more scared of, the omega heats where you can't say no or the alpha ruts where you don't care if someone else is saying no."

"Yeah, that is definitely not a thing! Anyone who tells you otherwise, they're being dicks. You tell the clinic what they're saying and they'll shut 'em down. Everyone respects the clinic, hero or villain."

"Good," Barry says again, then hesitates. "Uh, one more question, if that's okay..?"

"Sure, shoot."

"How do you, uh, know? Which one you are, I mean. Or which one someone else is."

"There's a bunch of signs," Mick says. "But you usually aren't one or the other, you know."

"What? You're not?"

"Nah. It's got something to do with stress, proximity to other capes, nutrition, hormones, emotional state, whatever, but most people end up swapping dynamics every few years. Pretty rare to be one or another all the time."

"Huh. I didn't know that."

"Most people don't. It's private, you know? Especially with all the misinformation out there."

"Superhero porn," Barry agrees. "Super-heroes, super-popular - and that's even before the cycle thing got into the mix."

"Yep," Mick says. "Congrats, you’re a fetish now. But what can you do?"

“Not much,” Barry agrees.

"Barry!" the nurse calls.

Barry starts. "Oh," he says, starting to get up. "That's me - I've got to go -"

"I'm sure I'll see you around, the way these things go," Mick says, waving. "But, hey - Barry?"

"Yeah?" Barry says, turning back.

"If you ever have any more questions about all this, I'm happy to answer 'em," Mick says. "Cape or no cape." Then he grins wickedly. “And if you ever want some help getting through those cycles, hit me up.”

Barry blinks, taken slightly aback – is he being hit on? He is definitely being hit on, holy crap, he’s being hit on by a very attractive man who is considerate enough to wait until Barry has a built-in excuse to exit the conversation, this is the best day ever – and then, slowly, smiles back at him. "I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks."

"Anytime."

Barry does end up meeting Mick again, sooner than expected - he's a speedster from the Gem Cities, so he's inheriting the mantle of The Flash from Jay Garrick, the older generation, and along with the mantle of the Flash come the Flash's rogues gallery, including the Rogues.

The Rogues, which include Heatwave.

Mick Rory.

Oh, well. It was probably too much to hope for that he'd be a hero.

At least, if he has to be a villain, he's a villain in Barry's jurisdiction. Heroes, Barry had discovered, are extremely territorial about their villains, always insisting on taking lead against them and butting heads over them.

(After the first the time Rogues visit Gotham, Barry abruptly realized that that means they'll be facing Batman's unique brand of massive overkill vengeance only without the vague fondness he has for his own villains; as this was followed immediately by Barry growing a spine and confronting Batman for the first time to insist that he be part of the investigation and subsequent fight, Barry understands the impulse much more.)

But, yeah. Barry goes through his first few cycles - omega cycles, currently - by lying on Iris' couch and making puppy eyes at her until she fetches him chocolate and hot water bottles, but then she gets together with Eddie and it seems a bit rude to impose.

At least Iris assures him she'll continue to pretend to be his love interest, since having one is apparently de rigueur for heroes, since everyone gets very judgy if you're feeling single for a while.

Even Batman has a love interest. Several, even.

But also, going through your cycle alone is...ugh. Mick was right, at least, in that sex isn't required (though superspeed makes taking a bit of time to scratch the itch an irresistible temptation), but Barry's starting to find that company really is.

And he's kind of short of that.

So when he heads out on reluctant patrol during the itching, annoying second night of his heat to find Captain Cold and Heatwave robbing a small jewelry store - no witnesses, no CCTV, barely anything worth taking to the point that Barry kinda suspects that the place is a Family front - he decides to tap Heatwave on the shoulder and say, "Uh, sorry, but at the clinic -"

Cold is in the middle of raising his gun but when he hears the word "clinic" he drops it with a sigh. "Of course he did," Cold says, rolling his eyes. "Mick, I'll see you when you get back."

"You do that," Heatwave agrees. "Barry, this is an anti-Family thing - wouldja mind if Len takes..?"

"Well, if it's an anti-Family thing -"

No one in Central likes the ever-warring Families.

Cold waves a hand at Mick and glares at Barry. "You be nice to him," he says, right before stalking out.

Barry flushes. "I mean - I didn't -"

He kind of did.

"It's all right if you just have more questions," Mick assures him. "Or even if you just want someone to hang around while you're being miserable. Doesn't have to be a hookup." He grins. "Unless you want one, of course."

Barry wars with himself and his own embarrassment for a minute, but Mick seems so calm and even Cold had been so casually accepting and damnit, Barry hasn't gotten laid in ages which is even longer for a speedster who occasionally time travels back in time to repeat a few days -

"The latter," Barry says, flushing red under his cowl. "If you don't mind."

"Not at all," Mick says, eyes brightening. He steps forward and loops his arms around Barry in prime speedster-carry position. "Well?"

Barry runs them out of there.

Turns out Mick was right: it really does alleviate the symptoms.

After the whole mess with Eobard and things blowing up and Barry feeling horribly guilty and nearly running himself ragged, he notices that his cycles are – different.

Less cramping, more mood swings, for one thing. Mostly going manic, actually – super hyper, super bad focus, none of which is good for super activities.

The horniness is way up, as usual, but now Barry’s suddenly eyeing everyone around him because is it just him, or did he somehow miss the fact that he’s surrounded by extremely attractive people?

It takes a few days of being twitchy for Barry to realize that he’s in rut instead of heat this time.

And, well, Mick did say…

“Oh, sure,” Mick says, holding the door to the Rogues’ hideout open and gesturing for Barry to come in.

“There isn’t, you know, a compatibility problem?” Barry asks, coming in anyway.

“Gay people existed on Krypton too,” Mick says solemnly, then cracks up when Barry gives him a look. “I don’t know, Red. I’ve never noticed a difference, whether it’s alpha-omega, alpha-alpha, omega-omega, whatever. Besides, I live with a whole coop full of alphas now; someone’s going to be shifting dynamics sooner rather than later.”

“Oh?”

“Having a lot of one type tends to result in equalization, apparently? Something about syncing up hormones. Dunno.”

Captain Cold – Len, he’d told Barry to call him – waves from where he’s lounging on the couch. “Glad to see you two lovebirds are keeping it up,” he says.

That gets both Barry and Mick to splutter.

“They’re not lovebirds, they're just fucking,” Mark Mardon opines. He’s digging into a pint of ice cream with a fork. Barry wonders if that has to do with the heightened hunger of the alpha, or the cravings of the omega, or maybe the Weather Wizard’s just a frat boy at heart. Who knows?

“We’re just leaving, that's what we are,” Mick says, grabbing Barry’s hand and leading him upstairs. “So don’t bother us!”

As soon as they’re alone in Mick’s room, he grins at Barry. “Sorry about ‘em. Can’t live with them…you know the rest.”

“Why are you all living together?”

Mick shrugs. “Supervillain thing,” he says.

“What, a shared inability to make rent?”

Mick laughs. “Nah,” he says. “We did a job, it went pear-shaped, and now some people are out to get us, so we’re huddling together for safety. S’cool, don’t worry about it,” he adds, seeing Barry opening his mouth to volunteer help. “It’ll all blow over soon enough.”

“Well,” Barry says. “I’m glad you guys are doing okay.”

Mick’s smile broadens. “I’m glad to see you too, Red.”

Mick does end up going omega after another few months, and he calls Barry on the number Barry’s given him – they’ve been texting a little, back and forth, because Barry’s really bad at doing the whole friends-with-benefits thing without also doing the, you know, friends part of it –with a request that Barry show up at a certain warehouse with his supersuit and without plans for the evening.

It’s awesome.

And, well, after that…

It’s not that they’re dating or anything, that’s for sure. They’re hero and villain, and they are not pulling a Batman-Catwoman shtick.

But Barry has Mick on his speed dial, calling him whenever his ruts or heats hit – he ends up going back to omega pretty quickly, since apparently that’s where his body’s comfort zone is – and Mick does the same, wherever he is on his cycle.

And, you know, maybe they hang out outside of that, sometimes. Mick’s pretty cool – no pun intended – and he’s very laid back, which Barry really appreciates given the usual high-key frenzy that he has to deal with as part of Team Flash.

So, yes, sometimes they go see movies, or go to dinner, or Mick will swing by Barry’s apartment and cook him something, even if it’s not exactly on their cycles.

Sometimes Barry goes to hang out at Mick’s place – which usually involves at least some Rogues, or at minimum Len, because Len and Mick are codependent best friends and Barry respects that, especially once Mick explained that Len is ace and didn’t give a damn about cycles in any direction.

(Also, Len sometimes has glowing blue eyes, usually when he's reading this big large Book on the couch, but Barry has decided not to ask about that.)

Either way, though - it works.

It’s – nice.

Barry’s happy.

Of course, Barry's hardly the only hero with a regular hookup for heats and ruts, but most of them at least pretend that said regular hookups are not with one of their villains. Barry, on the other hand, isn't much for pretending, and that means he gets the occasional Talk from his fellow superheroes.

The annoyingness quality of said Talk varies based on the person involved.

"Bad guy, huh?" Aquaman grunts. "Sure that's a good idea?"

"Truce applies in relation to clinic matters," Barry reminds him.

He gets a shrug in return. "Doesn't make it not a bad idea."

"I'm an adult capable of making my own decisions, thanks."

"You sure you're okay?" Cyborg asks, looking sincerely concerned. "I mean, he's not, like, taking advantage or -"

Barry takes poor brand-new Cyborg to the clinic and corrects his misapprehensions much the same way Mick did for him, though without the proposition.

"A villain, Barry," Oliver says flatly. "Really?"

"Huntress," Barry reminds him. He's never going to let Oliver live that down.

"She's an anti-hero sometimes," Oliver says. "But Heatwave -"

"Are you trying to say the Rogues aren't anti-heroes sometimes?"

"Not the point."

"I don't think you actually have a point," Barry says. "You want to register your disapproval. Well, it's registered."

"You know it's not that," Oliver says. "We're friends. I worry."

"I appreciate that. But seriously, I'm fine. Trust me. Mick and I have a good set-up that works for us."

"You know, if it's just a lack of other options -" Hawkgirl starts.

"I'm flattered," Barry says hastily. "But seriously, Kendra, no, I'm very happy as is." He pauses and frowns. "Tell me Oliver didn't send you."

"No, no - well, he did express his concern -"

"Punch him in the face for me, will you?"

She laughs.

"You know, it's really good that you're -" Superman starts.

"Nope," Barry says. "If this is a lead up to say something about Mick, you should stop right there. I'm totally happy to talk work and even fun hanging out stuff with you, but I'm still pissed at you about the whole cycle thing."

"...fair point," Superman concedes. "Well, good luck. My cousin says hi, too; she's hoping to get back to Earth soon and wants to meet him. Assuming you're not still too pissed at her, too."

"...it's hard to be pissed at Kara."

"It really is," Superman agrees, quite solemn. He doesn’t take any of it personally, which Barry really appreciates.

Wonder Woman just gives Barry a thumbs up, but to be fair Barry is pretty sure she's casually dating Golden Glider, so he wasn't really expecting a lecture from her.

And then one day he turns around and the urban legend of Gotham is standing behind him with a brooding expression.

"Don't tell me you have an opinion, too," Barry sighs. He’d known this was coming – Batman had an opinion on everything.

Usually a negative one.

Usually a negative one backed with data collected via an unnecessary amounts of stalking.

“No,” Batman says. “No opinion.”

“…what, really?”

Batman’s expression doesn’t so much as flicker. “Central City is beyond my jurisdiction.”

Barry blinks. “I mean,” he says, “not that I don’t appreciate that, but – and please don’t take offense here – it’s not like you really seem to pay attention to that whole jurisdiction thing for other heroes, so –”

“Central City itself,” Batman clarifies. “I can’t enter. None of the heroes can, not without your authorization.”

“…what now?”

“Well, excluding Diana,” Batman corrects, as if that was the problem with what he’d just said.

“Go back to the part where there’s a forcefield around Central City,” Barry says.

“It’s not a forcefield,” Batman says. “I’ve checked.”

“Then what?”

“A zone of no-interference,” Batman says. “If it makes you feel better, it’s been there for a while; I don’t think it’s actively harmful.”

“…okay,” Barry says. “And you didn’t feel the need to mention this before, so you’re telling me this right now for a – reason? I assume?”

“The zone appears to have changed.”

Barry isn’t very good at glaring, and certainly not at Batman, but he’s doing his best.

“Your relationship with Mick Rory.”

“Wait,” Barry says, “I thought we were talking about the – no-interference zone, I guess? You said you didn’t have an opinion on me and Mick!”

“Mick and I,” Batman says. “And I don’t. But I prefer to keep an eye on things that change.”

“You haven’t even told me how the zone changed!”

“It doesn’t just apply to Central City anymore,” Batman says. “It also applies whenever you and Mr. Rory are – together.”

Barry gapes at him.

“Just thought you should know,” Batman says, and then he’s gone.

“Oh, that,” Mick says.

“Oh, that?!”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Don’t worry about it?”

“It’s just a thing.”

“Mick!”

Mick cracks a smile. “Sorry,” he says. Barry smacks him with a pillow; there’s several within easy reach from where they’re snuggling on the couch in the Rogues’ living room. “Couldn’t resist. It is just a thing, though. It's Lenny.”

“Len? I mean, Captain Cold? What about him?”

“Well, way back when, we joined this hero group for a while,” Mick says. “Called the ‘Legends’ –”

“What, really?”

“Yes, really.”

“You guys? As heroes?”

“When I said we all react to finding out about the cycles in different ways, I mean it,” Mick says dryly. “Len seemed to think we needed to try both sides of the villain-hero spectrum to see if it was different. It isn’t, by the way.”

“Okay,” Barry says, mildly disappointed. It would’ve been interesting to go villain for a little bit. Just a tiny little bit. A nice, not-always-on-call villain, who could probably sleep in on the weekends for once instead of having to deal with a brand new crisis of the week…maybe he could arrange a kidnapping instead? Mick would definitely oblige. “What does that have to do with a magical zone of non-interference?”

“Well,” Mick says. “Len ended up doing something stupid.”

“Wow,” Barry says dryly. “Look at me. I’m so surprised. Len? I assume it was extremely dramatic.”

“Well, yeah.”

“Shocker.”

Mick laughs. “Well, anyway, he ended up sort of kind of – getting blown up?”

“He what?”

“Long story. He got better, though –"

Of course he got better.

"- and anyway he ended up in this garden that exists out of space and time, and while he was there, he stole this book - you've seen it, the Book? - and now he has this weird part-time job, sort of, except the guy he stole the book from is sort of mentoring him for a quote, ‘more peaceful transition than my brother’ because apparently there was a whole thing or something, I don't know. So Len gets to spend some of his time here, instead of being stuck in the garden.”

“Okay. So he’s a part-time…bookkeeper?”

Mick cackles. “You hear that, Lenny?” he shouts. “You’re a bookkeeper!”

“You have no idea how literal that is,” Len says, wandering out of the kitchen. He’s got the glowing blue eyes again, and he’s holding the Book – a big, gigantic tome of a book, and there’s a chain going from the spine onto Len’s wrist. “See? I’m keeping the Book. I'm the Book keeper.”

Barry snorts a laugh, somewhat involuntarily. “What do you actually do?”

“Long story,” Len says. “Mick, the pasta –”

“There’s a bowl on the table.”

“You’re the best.”

Len wanders right back out again.

Barry wonders if now is a good time to ask about the glowing eyes.

“They go with the Book,” Mick says.

Barry blinks at him.

“The eyes. They happen whenever the Book’s around. Len thinks it’s cute that you never ask, by the way.”

Barry flushes. “I didn’t want to be rude.”

Mick shifts a little, pulling Barry in closer. “Don’t worry. He doesn’t mind if it’s you. You’re my plus-one.”

Barry pauses. “I am?” he asks hopefully. “Really?”

“I mean. If you wanna be.”

“Yes. I do. Definitely. For sure. I mean, assuming we’re talking about dating.”

“Yeah, we are.”

“Then yes. Assuming you want me to…?”

“Yeah, Red. I do.”

“Okay,” Barry says, smiling. “So, that settled, how does Len and the book play into the zone of no-interference?”

“I think the book gives him certain powers?” Mick says. “I’m not entirely sure. But either way, when he tells people to buzz off, they buzz off. And, uh, when I say that I might want a bit of privacy in my, uh, relationships, then…”

Barry starts grinning wider. “Then it starts applying whenever we're together once I made the move to being relationship material?”

“Basically,” Mick says, looking relieved that he doesn’t have to spell it out. “Man, am I glad that we ironed that dating thing out before I had to admit that.”

Barry laughs.

“So,” Batman says. He’s still wearing the cowl, even though it’s an engagement party and supposed to be low-key and clinic-truce rather than heroes and villains, but he has at least condescended to accept a slice of Mick’s delicious homemade cake. “When you say ‘Destiny’, you mean – actual Destiny?”

Len grins and throws an arm over Batman’s shoulders. “Wanna see my Book?”

“…that’s not a proposition.”

“Nah, I’m ace.”

“In that case, yes. I would very much like to see your – ‘Book’.”

“Great,” Len says. “You can come to my garden and take a peep. One of my new siblings is really looking forward to meeting you…”

"yemenite jews are being arrested, forced to sell their homes and their property." oh you mean like how palestiniains are being forced out of their homes or having their bombs destroyed? really interesting how you use manipulative language and accuse people of not caring about ethnic cleansing yet all the posts i can find on your blog about palestine don't seem to mention any of that. curious!

no one fucking mentioned palestine because it's not about them weirdo. also palestinian people aren't ethnically cleansed or are going through genocide. yes they go through oppression in gaza and restrictions in the west bank. i won't reblog a bunch of posts with unbased lies and misinformation. i see it first hand to call out bullshit. not every time someone speaks about jewish oppression 'woke' peace warriors need to jump and change the subject to something else because you're uncomfortable when people call out antisemitism. now bye.
