LISTEN.. I know you love your fluff and comfort 🙄🙄 /s /lh but I'd like to hear abt what you'd think on this

Dottore and reader breaking up due to issues in both ends, whether be our fault or his, they're not longer together.

A heated decision, in which everyone inloved was hurt, it all came to a boiling point.

You leave dottore to his own devices, it qas a sudden decision but you and he were done.

All the while, he can't find himself to be angry at you then, but soon after, he grows upset.

It took him 48 hours to realise your were truly gone. When his segments told him you were nowhere to be found, he knew it was most likely, actually, over.

He'd take this as the worst betrayal ever done to him, growing resentful of what you did to him, how could you leave him?

Soon that resentment turned to restlessness, he didn't know how to explain it, but he was desperate to get you back. He sent fatuus out to find you, to bring you back to him, but you never came up.

You spent centuries of your life with him, surely you hadn't actually left him, he kept reassuring himself to be logical, to believe that you'd be logical enough to come back.

You never did. And when he visited your guys room, he found your stuff gone. The sight of that almost made him break down.

How did it turn out like this?

My phone is on 2% so I couldn't format this right :( anyways! I thought abt making a fanfic abt this, I love hurt/no comfort, but even this makes me feel sad 😭😭

STOP SHUT UP !!!1 111! DONT U EVER... TALK ABOUT ANGST TO ME... STOP !! PLEAHDNSMADSADSAT HIS IS ONLY FLUFF ZONE.. HURT/COMFORT... 😭😭😭

says the guy who thinks about killing reader ever conceivable long fic to make him suffer ^

dottore is definitely the type of guy who could never move on from a break up like that. like, how could he??? you've been part of his life for too long and you're one of the things that makes him genuinely happy!!

you don't even wanna see him anymore? talk it out? are you happy now that you're not with him anymore? did you feel like you've wasted centuries with him?

has he lacked as a lover? was he too prideful to notice what was wrong? to save something the cherishes? or was your relationship just fated to be doomed?

OKAY thats enough.... if you write this,, i will BAWL.. no no angst please noo NOO

[rooster-the-love-of-my-life]

Heya! I was wondering if I could request a Bradley Bradshaw x Reader fic that’s enemies to lovers, slow burn? Like with tons of angst and maybe life and death situation lol? Maybe they became enemies in the academy or swim thing over a miscommunication or just their personalities clashed at the time or maybe reader is related to maverick or ice? Sorry that’s so specific lol.

Omg, thank you. I've been trying to write for a long time but didn't have any ideas at all. So thank you and happy reading.

BTW, I'm still alive.

I lothe you...

From a very young age, Bradley and Y/N had been the bane of each others existence. If Bradley did something and qas praised for it, Y/N had to do it better than him. If Y/N excelled at something, Bradley had to do the same. That is how they both got in to the academy, and then to top gun.

For most of their lives they had been competing with each other, until Maverick pulled Bradley's papers, putting Y/N a step ahead from him. Even though she felt bad for him, and was angry with her father for a long time, she couldn't help but feel this sense of victory.

But it was short lived when he managed to get into the academy and then into Top Gun at the same time as her. Even there they were competitive, always doing the most dangerous tasks, trying to prove that they are better. Thus very completion led to Y/N being the top of the class and Rooster a close second.

After the year at Top Gun they had both gone their separate ways, and never met, never talked, until now. The crowded room of the hard deck felt like home, the smell of beer and the sea, with drunk pilots was bring all the good memories back.

"It's good to see you Birdie." Phoenix said, slinging her arm over Y/N's shoulder.

"It's good to see you too Phoenix. It's been too long." Y/N replied, taking a sip from her beer.

The both of them got into a comfortable conversation, talking about their lives, the missions they went on. A few moments later Y/N's eyes moved over to the door to see a flick of pilots bursting through the door.

With them was him. Bradley, he was here and he was going to be part of the mission. Before Y/N could duck out, hide or go away, Hangman had already called out to Rooster.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't baby goose." He said.

"Hangman," Replied Rooster. "You look good."

"I am good." Hangman replied with a smirk. Bradley just nodded.

"You didn't tell me you were coming." Phoenix said pulling him into a hug.

"Right sorry about that." Rooster said, pulling away. "Was a little busy."

Till now, Rooster had spotted Y/N.

"Mitchell." He said acknowledging her presence.

"Bradshaw." She replied, sipping her beer.

"So what do think this mission is?" Coyote questioned.

"Whatever it is, it's gotta be dangerous." Fanboy replied.

"They've got the best of the best here, who the hell were they gonna get to teach us?" Said Phoenix.

"Not everyone's the best." Y/N murmured into the drink, but was heard by everyone.

"What's that supposed to mean Mitchell?" Rooster said, standing up straight.

"Oh I think you know what it means." She said as a matter of fact.

"Really? I don't think I'm the one who slashed the tires of my bicycle just cause I came at second place." He said, bringing up the past.

"At least I didn't go home crying to mommy when I lost." She replied, making the squad laugh.

"Wait you did that," Hangman said, chuckling.

"Shut up." Rooster said, turning back to Y/N, enough had a gery satisfied look on her face.

Even after years of not seeing him she knew exactly how to push his buttons.

Rooster was just about to reply before Phoenix stepped in. "Okay kids, you can do this later. Right now, let's just get shit faced."

Both of them went away from each other, Y/N to the bar and Rooster to the piano. Soon enough a crowd gathered around him as he started playing Great Balls of Fire.

Y/N looked at him from afar, thinking of how he'd always been the musically gifted one out of the two of them. She could feel that this mission was going to be different from the rest, yet the danger of not knowing didn't stop her from being excited.

--------------------------------

The next day, everyone had gathered on the deck waiting for their briefing. Phoenix sat with Bob, Hangman up front, Rooster right behind him, Payback and Fanboy behind him, Y/N beside the two of them and Coyote, up front next to Hangman.

"Morning. Welcome to you special training detachment. This detachment will be rough. Half of you will be chosen for it. One of you will be named mission leader. And the other half will go back to reserves. Your instructor is one of the finest pilots this program has ever produced. His exploits are legendary. What he has to teach you may very well mean the difference between life and death. Captain Pete Mitchell. Callsign: Maverick."

Admiral Bates spoke, before stepping back as everyone sat down, looking back to see Captin Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell walking up to the podium.

Rooster glanced between Y/N and Mavrick, knowing that this wasn't going to he the easiest mission ever. Hangman flinched as well upon seeing him. By now Mavrick was holding up the F18 manual. "The F18's. I'm sure every one of you knows this book cover to cover." He spoke, looking throughout the crowd of pilots before him.

Variations of 'damn straight' and 'hell yeah' were given from some of the guys. "Yeah, well so does your enemy." Maverick spoke, throwing the manual down and into the trashcan next to his podium. "What your enemy doesn't know is your limits. And I plan to test them, push them, and expand them. Let's get started." He spoke, giving a cocky smile and nodded off to the where the F18's are.

Dogfighting is a skill all pilots must have. It's practically essential. Everyone should have it. And that is what they did today. First Phoenix and Bob went and barely made it out. Then Payback and Fanboy came back destroyed. Pete came back in and selected his next paring.

"Give me Birdie." He said. All eyes were on her now, and her eyes were on her dad's. She knew she was a good flyer, but she knew she would have to get a bloddy good wingman to beat him. Yale got up with her, as her wingman, but was quickly told to sit down by Mavrick.

"Yale, you're Hangman's wingman. Birdie , you get Rooster." And with that the captin was out. It was as if he'd dropped a bomb. Everyone got quite and very still. Even Hangman was tensed. Showing no emotion Y/N walked to her F-18, followed by Rooster.

"Don't screw this up for me Bradshaw." Birdie shouted over the loud noise of the F-18s.

"It should be the other way Mitchell."

With that they were both in the air. No words were spoken for quite some time, till Y/N asked "Where is he?"

Looking for him. Almost immediately Rooster said "Under you." And out came the oldest captin of the navy. He got out in front of Birdie, with her hot on his tail. Mavrick knew she would soon get tone on him, and he couldn't let that happen. They kept going for a few minutes till Mavrick came to a sudden stop, the only way to beat her, making Y/N fly forward, getting tone on her.

"That's a kill." He said as Birdie cursed under her breath. "Where's you wingman?"

"Right here." Rooster said, flying behind Mavrick not as quickly as he used to.

"You might wanna go a little faster if you don't wanna die." Commented Y/N, to which Rooster said noting. Soon enough, Rooster was dead as well.

"That's a kill as well. You know the whole point of having a wingman is for him to have your back. I expected more. From the both of you." Said Mavrick, when they landed. "Meet Hondo for your pushups."

They high landed their planes and went to Hondo for their pushups.

"You know." Y/N started with a little strain in her voice. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you stupidity."

"Right, as if you're perfect." Rooster scoffed, continuing with his pushups.

"I wasn't the one who abandoned you."

"Abandoned?!"

"Yes, abandoned. You're supposed to be my wingman, you're supposed to look out from me not fantasies about sex up there." Y/N said.

"Oh fuck you Mitchell." Rooster said, looking over to Y/N.

"I'm flattered, really, but no thanks." Her reply even got Hondo to Crack a little smile, but it was gone quickly when he saw Maverick approaching.

"Quit yapping and finish your pushups." He said as Maverick crossed them, looking down to see the two sweaty pilots shooting daggers at each other.

"Still the same." He murmered under his breath, shaking his head with a little smile on his face.

---------------------------------

The next week had been the same. Maverick would intentionally put Bradley and Y/N together, they would go up, something would go wrong and they would end up doing 200 pushups everyday.

One evening, when they had just finished doing their pushups, Y/N approached Bradley near the locker rooms.

"Hey." She said. "What's your problem?"

"What do you mean?" He said, pretending as if he didn't know excatly what she meant.

"You know what I mean." She said.

"I don't want to have this conversation right now." He sighed, moving towards the door of the mens room, but Y/N came in between them.

"I don't care if you want to have this conversation or not. We will have this conversation right now." She said with her hands on her hips. "I have absolutely no regards for whatever it is you going through right now Bradshaw, all I care about is that I go on this mission. So whatever the problem is with you, whatever problem you have with my father, work through it. Or so help me good I will make your life a living hell."

After a moments silence, Bradley said in a hushed voice, "It's you."

"What?''

"It's you, you're my problem. ever since you came back into my life everything I have been doing is goin wrong, I can't fly straight, I can't do my tasks straight, I can't think straight, and its all because of you."

"Because of me?" She said, wit a scoff.

"Yes you." He said with his voice a little raised. "You're the bane of my existence."

Y/N gasped and hit him in shoulder saying "I loathe you."

He did the same, also saying "I loathe you."

"I loathed you first." Y/N said getting dangerously close to Bradley's face.

"Oh yeah?" He said.

"Yeah." She replied, but before she had the time to say anything else, Bradley grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her lips into his. A few seconds later, Y/N replicated the kiss and deepened it, putting her arms on his shoulders. But the kiss didn't last long.

"I shouldn't have done that." Bradley said, pulling away and taking a step back.

"Yeah you shouldn't have." Murmured Y/N, her lips still tingling from the kiss.

"I should go." Bradley said, walking away quickly, leaving Y/N standing in the hallway, wondering why they had just done that.

-------------------------------------------

The next day, they both refused to even look at each other. No snide remarks were made abut the other, they didn't say a word to each other. That was also the day when they had decided to stay in.

"Hey are you okay?" Whispered Bob standing in front of Y/N.

"Yeah, why?" Y/N whispered back.

"Nothing." Bob replied. "You're just acting a little different today."

"Different how?"

"Different like you haven't slit Rooster's throat till now." Phoenix jumped into the conversation.

"You know we don't always have to be at each other's throat." Y/N replied, trying to hid whatever feeling she was having at the moment, glancing at Rooster.

On hearing this reply, Bob put his hand on Y/N forehead, as Phoenix said, "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm not sick." Y/N replied, swatting Bob's hand away. "I'm fine, okay. Rooster and I are fine. Just because we aren't on the verge of killing each other doesn't mean that I've stopped hating him, maybe it just means he hasn't done anything stupid today." Y/N said, walking away.

"But you told me even his breathing is stupid." Bob said quietly as Phoenix patted him on his back.

-----------------------------------

The same night, after the squad had returned from The Hard Deck, Bob decided to get to the bottom of things. He was determined to know what was going on, what was wrong.

"Hey Rooster." He said when it was just him and the boys in the his room. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah." Rooster replied, a little tipsy. "I'm on top of the world."

"No, no. Is everything alright with you and Y/N??" Bob specified.

"Yeah, I hate her, she hates me, we've never been better." Rooster replied.

"The why were you staring at her the whole night." Bob pointed out.

"Its nothing Bob." Sighed Bradley.

"Oh come on Rooster, you can tell me anything."

"I don't know what to tell you Bob." Rooster started, gaining the attention of all the boys. "Ever since we've been kids, she's been getting on my nerves. We've been constantly fighting, about whose better at maths or about who can read more books and now about whose the better pilot. And then we went our serrate ways, but the we met again. And now I have to deal with her nd her stupid smile, her stupid hair, her stupid laugh, the stupid way she bits her lips when she's concentrating. I can't sleep, I cant eat, maybe I'm coming down with something."

"Oh, I know what you've got buddy. The 'L' word." Bob said.

"Yeah," Hangman jumped in. "Leprosy."

"No Jake, it's four letters. Starts with L ends with E."

"Yeah." He said. "Lice."

"No, Rooster, my friend, is in love." Bon corrected.

"Oh yeah, love." All the boys started repeating the word again and again.

"You mean with Y/N?" Rooster said. "No."

"Oh she has gotten under your skin." Coyote said in a sing song voice.

"Come on." Fanboy said.

"Admit it." Payback added.

"No, no you guys are dead wrong." Rooster said getting up. "I'm going home."

"Rooster and Birdie sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G." All the boys started to chant as Jake shouted, "You're in love pussycat."

"Ha, ha. Real mature guys.

Just as he was about to leave, Bob called from behind, "Het Rooster, I never said in love with Y/N."

----------------------------

That night while laying in bed Rooster's mind kept taking him back to all the instances in which he had claimed to hate Y/N. All the times he had said or done something so vile, he'd never thought Y/N could have toped it, yet she always did.

Maybe this was just his way of coping with things, coping with not being able to be with her. He knew that it was wrong of him to disrespect he wishes of never dating a pilot in her life, but he just couldn't help but want something with Y/N.

Having enough of tossing and turning in his bed, Rooster decided to go out for a walk on the beach. The beach at night always seemed to clam him down. Walking on the beach he expected to find loads of lovers sniggling, drunk guys laying there, but what he never expected to find was Y/N.

She was sitting near the waves, looking at the distant sea. Rooster contemplated going to her or not, he went with the former.

"Hey there stranger." He said sitting down next to her.

"Hi." She replied with a sigh. "What're you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Rooster replied.

"Well I asked first." She said.

"Fine." He replied. "I couldn't sleep."

"The thoughts of Mrs. Jackson still bothering you?"

"That was the fifth grad." Bradley said raising his voice a little. "Could you please let that go?"

"I will never." She replied, leaning a little towards him, laughing. "Seriously, were you thinking of her once again?"

"No, I wasn't."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really."

"Lying doesn't suit you sweetheart."

"I was thinking about you." Bradley told her, making he shut up at once.

"I was thinking about you, your stupid laugh, and your awful smile, and how I can't seen to get you off of my mind."

"You don't really mean that." Y/N whispered.

"I do Y/N. I really do." He said, looking at her with a loving expression.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Don't you dare look at me like that, not after every vile thing we've done to each other."

"I can't help it Y/N, I can't. Ever since I saw you again at the hard deck, I can't get you off of my mind. Morning, noon and night I think about you. I love you Y/N."

"No, don't do this." Y/N said looking away.

"Just give me a cha-"

"Brad, I already told you, I can't be with pilots. You are all the same, you fall in love, you give us false promises and then you leave." Y/N said.

"I'm not like the other pilots you've dated."

"How can I trust you?" She said. "After everything."

"I guess you can't." Rooster said, getting up and walking away.

As Y/N watched him leave, her mind travelled to all the time she swore she hated him, and now all her mind could come up with was that she loves him too. She loves his stupid hair, and his stupid mustache, his laugh and the way he plays piano. She loves everything about him.

Getting up, she ran after him to try and catch up to him, and she did.

"Bradshaw." She called out, but he didn't look back. "Bradshaw, Bradley."

He finally stopped and looked back at her. She walked up to him and whispered, "I thought I got rid you."

This time it was her who pulled him in for a kiss. He reacted quickly, grabbing her face and caressing it. They both broke away to get some air when Y/N said,

"If you muck me about Brad."

"I swear, I won't." Rooster said, resting his forehead on hers.

"Lead me on, let me down or go behind my back, I'll murder you."

"I won't, I promise." Rooster said cracking a smile.

"You swear?" She said.

"Yeah, I swear."

Ryou!

how i feel about this character He’s a weirdo, and I love him for it. Also I think I lowkey stan him in a way I wouldn’t even for Jounouchi or Kaiba. Maybe Yuugi, though.

all the people i ship romantically with this character Honda was the first person I really shipped with Ryou. Their interactions from Duelist Kingdom was just too adorable for words. Sadly, that all went away after DK.

Yuugi has since become my favorite person to pair with Ryou! I think there’s a lot that Yuugi can understand what Ryou went through, and there’s so much potential for fluff and healing from that angle. And the angst angle is the converse, where there are just things Yuugi can’t understand, because his relationship with Atem is fundamentally different from Ryou and Bakura’s. There in lies the delicious dichotomy of this pairing to me. (I mostly just want them to be cute boyfriends that play/design games together and go on long museum dates <3)

my non-romantic otp for this character Also Yuugi! If I don’t ship them romantically, I think they would make great friends. They’re both introverts that could hang out in each other’s presence while doing their own thing for hours. I think that would be a great comfort to both of them compared to more rambunctious hangouts with Jounouchi and Honda around.

ok so hear me out... Kaiba. Yep. I think it would hilarious if Ryou ever became a beta tester of KC game products. I think Ryou would slay as QA. He would find infuriating ways to break games that are not remotely what most users/players would do. Kaiba both appreciates and hates that about him.

my unpopular opinion about this character Ummm... What are even the popular opinions about Ryou? I’m honestly not sure how to answer this one. Because as much as I like Ryou, I don’t spend a lot of time in the fandom that’s focused on him to absorb fanon. 

Oh! I don’t think he’s a shrinking violet at all! He stabbed his own hand in the manga to help Yuugi and company, so I’m not a fan of his depiction as this naive and frail thing that needs to be sheltered as I used to see in some tendershipping fic. Boy has seen some shit and is more resilient than people will give him credit for.

one thing i wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon He’s criminally underused in the story! I feel like his potential was wasted in the same way that Kikyo was wasted in Inuyasha! There was such a perfect narrative foil set up to Yuugi and his experiences with Atem. Instead, Ryou was constantly relegated to the background. Like boy has trauma from all the shit Bakura did in his body! Show us some of that!

“Letting Go” Fic Q&A #2

First Q&A: https://birdsgoflying.tumblr.com/post/163154970313/letting-go-fic-qa

Q: How did you take care of yourself while writing?

A: I forced myself to take a lot of breaks – that’s why it took me so long to write this story. I would write almost every day, but if I felt like it was beginning to affect my mood, I would skip ahead and write a happier part. I watched a lot of funny YouTube videos. I read a lot of humor and smut fanfics for some of my favorite pairings. At times, I had to take a day to keep myself away from fandom entirely. I have gotten pretty good at reading myself over the years, and I can usually identify what I need to keep myself balanced early on enough to stop the emotional downturn before it goes too far. I also relied a lot on my friends (on Twitter and IRL!) while writing. @wallyswest_, @birdflash_virus, and @alfredsmustache in particular have been there for me from the very beginning, when I very first conceived this idea, and they lifted me up when I became overwhelmed and just wanted to talk about something happy.

Q: I noticed the fic jumped from x/19 chapters to x/25 chapters to the current length of x/32 chapters. How long is this going to be??

A: When I first thought of this idea, I honestly didn’t think I would follow through with it and write it at all, because angst really isn’t my thing and committing to such a long fic seemed unrealistic for my ADD-having ass, but I decided to try it out and see how far I would go with it. I figured it would be four or five chapters, tops. When I had finished it originally, the day that I posted chapter one, I had 19 chapters written. But then, the more I read and re-read it after I began to post the first couple of chapters, I realized I wanted to add more and expand on some of it. Now here we are, and I’ve written 32 chapters. I haven’t added anything else to the fic since I posted chapter three, so I don’t think it will go past 32 chapters, but you never know; I might expand it even more as time goes on. I’m just trying to do my story justice and not rush through important pieces.

Q: Why did you change from past tense to present tense at the beginning of chapter seven?

A: The very first part of the first chapter has a snippet that is set in present tense, and it is intended to be set during the very beginning of chapter 7. Chapters 1-6 are essentially flashbacks/memories, which is why they are all in past tense up until chapter seven. I also used past-tense to make it feel faster, less clear, less lucid, if that makes sense? He was intoxicated almost the whole time, and I switched to present tense when he finally started sobering up to make the events of the chapters feel more immediate and concrete.

Q: When will things start looking up for Dick?

A: Recovery is a long process. I have a lot of personal and professional experience with the themes in this fic, so I wanted to make it as realistic as possible. There will be good days and bad days. There will be set-backs. Starting at his return to the manor, though, is where his recovery begins, so that is where things start to get incrementally better.

Q: When is Wally coming back?

A: Ohohoho, no. You don’t get off that easy. ;) There’s no satisfaction in it if I spoil the ending! You’ll just have to wait and see. Trust me, it will be worth it.

Got tagged in a thing while my computer was in the shop #2

Tagged by mah gurl @gladihoes​ I’M FINALLY DOING IT /SHOT

How old are you?: 26, y’all saw it in the last one (maybe? shrug)

What’s your current job?: ...uhh... ;;; being an unemployed dad... I’M LOOKING FOR WORK NOW THAT I HAVE MY COMPUTER BACK THOUGH CRIES

What are you good at?: Analytically picking shit apart lol. Probably my most substantial talent honestly, I just... have a mind for the critical and analytical, I guess. I usually try to put it to (’’’good’’’) use by making up lists and game systems/mechanics related to stuff I like, IE the Digimon Chart project I do on @digivolutioncentral. Apart from that, I’m pretty decent at writing, mostly use it in private RPs with the waifu @biryu13 and haven’t written anything independently in a while... might change soon. Also, I think it’s safe to say I’m pretty good (decent at least) at video games in general, in particular platformers, RPGs, action games, and some fighting games. 

What is a big goal you are working towards (or have already achieved)?: ....uhh... it’s hard to think of much I’ve actually accomplished that doesn’t involve stupid video games stuff, haha... ;; Well... I got married and have a great kid and great relationship... I think that’s something a lot of people strive for (well... dunno bout the kid part lol but y’know) and I’m not gonna let that go unappreciated. Apart from that? ....Oh, well I guess this is significant... I achieved every gamer kid’s dream of being a game tester and worked QA for id Software for 3 months, testing Doom and Wolfenstein so that was pretty badass, however shortlived. I don’t think 3 months is enough for anyone else in the industry to seriously consider using me... haha... ;; but.. it’s something... As far as longer-term goals, I want to start making my own games. I’ve got some of the resources, but lately I’m trying to improve my drawing and watching my kid a lot... so... hopefully I’ll get there eventually ;;

What is your aesthetic?: Green, swords, scales, dragons, knight stuff, ninja stuff... fantasy/adventure stuff, like yellowed, musty maps, peaceful forests, beaten paths, that sort of thing... Also, Fire Emblem GBA’s Dark magic is suuuper my aesthetic. Ancient runes, spirit flames, purple lightning, mages so deep in their robes that they’re barely recognizable as human... that shit is my jam. 

Do you collect anything?: I can’t exactly afford to be what I’d call a dedicated collector, but I do go for specific things of characters/series that I like... Got a few Smash Bros amiibos of characters I like, some pins, buttons, video games ofc (own both of the Tellius Fire Emblems, which are pretty rare from what I understand haha), and some Pokemon/Digimon/Yugioh cards.

What’s a topic you always talk about: Right now, it’s Fire Emblem lol. I’m friggin’... playing Heroes, thinking about shit from Awakening and Fates, debating writing fics for both of those, and also writing up a modified list of classes and weapons from across the series for use in a forum/tabletop RPG, or maybe somewhere in the future, a fangame. 

What is a pet peeve of yours: OH MAN WHERE TO START HAHA. I am so irritable that what ISN’T might be a shorter list, but... 1) Fuckin’... rude drivers. Like, shit like switching lanes to get in front of me when I’m going the goddamn speed limit. Fuck you. 2) Contrived plots in movies and games-- makes it way harder to genuinely enjoy the bulk of movies I go to haha... hollywood contrivances are everywhere. Stuff like the forced romance, white/male heroic protag (or alternatively, the nerdy underdog who becomes ‘cool), things that are just silly or unrealistic, dramatic/selfish monologues, etc. In video games, it’s usually the super edgy, angst-ridden white dudebro protag who’s totally unrelatable. 3) On the japanese/eastern spectrum of contrivances, villains whose goal is to ‘make a pure world’ that involves mass genocide of humans or whatever. Like what worse excuse could you possibly have for wanting to vent your pissbaby angst? There’s no way you can objectively sit there and tell me that killing ALL humans, innocents included, is going to make a ’’’pure world’’’. Fuck off. ....that’s probably enough for now haha ;;

Good advice to give: Lately, one of the credos I find I’m trying to live and act by the most is just let people like what they like. Like... that SHOULD be obvious, but it’s funny how so many people (including myself until relatively recently!) are so quick to condemn or put down people for something they like. Just, like... If it’s not HURTING someone, then what’s the harm? Don’t shit on people for liking it, however trashy, or dumb, or objectively bad or whatever you might think it is. Everyone has different tastes and your views of what’s objectively good and bad aren’t as unbiased as you might think they are... So just, don’t be a jerk. 

What are three songs you’d recommend?: 

Halo by Starset (just a really good band honestly, all their stuff is good lol)

Shelter by Porter Robinson (pretty sure everyone’s heard it by now though lol)
