[depressed-teacup-inc]

At this point, I am literally just trying to see this season to an end

Hi hello, yes I’m late, time to review Revolution! Let’s go because at this point I’m getting tired of this show.

So basically the entire episode is Adrien’s trying to tell Marinette that he’s leaving Paris and trying to stop it, but Marinette doesn’t really listen, and is focused on stopping Chloe, who’s now mayor/dictator??? Yeah trust me the logic of this show is gone, somehow people are ok with the super demonized caricature Chloe being mayor like everyone didn’t hate her already (my guess is that this is supposed to be alluding to the current state of world and politics and lack of trust people hold in the government)? Love the lack of consistency and logic.

Now. I don’t want to criticize Marinette too much, because technically, yes, she was busy trying to handle the Chloe situation (which in itself makes absolutely no sense and by all accounts shouldn’t be possible) but I will note that despite Adrien clearly telling her something was wrong multiple times, she never seems to care or understand? Like he told her multiple times that there’s something wrong, but she never seems to care or do anything about it until it actually affects her (which is unfortunately in character)

But apparently people are criticizing Adrien?! Saying how he’s awful for lying to marinette about having to leave and left it for the last minute? And frankly, the show kinda does it too (in the next episode, many of Adrien’s classmates discuss how awful it is Adrien didn’t say anything and how could he keep this from them like that)

LIKE??? BITCH??? Two points:

1. Adrien’s dad is Gabriel fucking Agreste?!

Like wow what a shocker the child of a man that has proven to abuse and isolate his son on multiple occasions has a fear of asking others for help in his situation because he worries nothing can truly beat this actual billionaire who’s also his legal guardian? And also is implied to have legit magic control powers over him, sentimonster style?

2. This really isn’t that of a big fucking deal

Like I do not get why this show keeps saying how “Adrien lied to marinette!!! He didn’t tell her he’s moving away!!!! How could he!!!” And how literally everyone and their mom is seeing this as an awful situation for marinette, when in actuality, all she knows is that Adrien will now be living a couple of hours away from her (due to the bullet train between Paris and London) and that he won’t literally be with her every second of the day.

Like I get it for a 14 year old yes this might be a huge fucking deal, but Alya even says so herself! Adrien is in London, they’ll just get a couple of tickets for the train and figure it out from their! And even in the worst case scenario where Adrien stays in London, there’s the option of a long distance relationship (that’s just as valid a relationship as any and would be a refreshing take on how not every relationship is super conventional and in person)

I just really don’t understand why the show shows Adrien genuinely going through some horrible shit from his father (like full on white room torture in the episode after) and then all the show focuses on is how this affects marinette and how sad she must be rather then the genuine psychological damage this must be doing for the kid! Like no one in this show remembers the amount of control Gabriel has on Adrien or something.

Anyways rant aside, before the entire going to London thing happens (btw congrats adrienette shippers for the kiss) there’s a whole thing where Chloe makes a deal to be akumatized by Monarch so she can send people to detention (it’s painted as a torture chamber but it’s literally people walking around with a video of Chloe saying they’re ridiculous, so basically P.E. Class), and then there’s a big fight where Ladybug and Chat Noir almost detransform because they used up their lucky charm and cataclysm and are trapped (btw the lucky charm had no fucking point to the story, why was it underwear? Frankly it was kinda creepy if the writers to have panties as the lucky charm for nothing but a weird joke, and not even connecting to the messages of unity and everyone taking action but ok)

But like… they just don’t?! Like I swear to god this show makes no sense anymore, Ladybug and Chat Noir just say they’ll never give up and fully transform and recharge again, and now they have no time limit and full powers?!

Like, the entire principal (just like Gabriel said) of the miraculous time limit, is that Kwamis need to recharge after one use, and that adults can lend some of their energy and power to Kwamis and therefore have them last longer to the point they don’t need to detransform, hence “only adults don’t need to detransform”

But now it’s apparently a purely emotional thing and not physical? Ladybug and Chat Noir somehow grew up by saying they’ll never detransform again (I do not at all see how this is a moment of growth to them) and now they just don’t detransform, despite the fact they are physically still kids?

Like by the shows logic of emotional maturity, Gabriel shouldn’t be able to hold a transformation at all then, because he’s the farthest thing from emotionally mature.

And also, it kinda makes all the stakes in fights now null and void? The biggest stake and challenge in each fight from day one of miraculous was “there’s this bad guy, you guys have one chance to use your special powers to beat them, think smart and solve this puzzle” but now it’s just gone??? It would have worked if the akumas overtime became more intense and hard to beat but clearly that’s not the case as even akumas powered up with actual miraculouses can be beat by a normal ladybug and chat noir.

The best thing the show could have done here is rather then make the becoming adult thing emotional maturity, have Ladybug and Chat Noir notice their transformation seems ti be slowly lasting longer as they age (have it be a metaphor for puberty and growing up or something) and then actually make the fights and villains more difficult and compelling so by the time Ladybug and Chat Noir no longer transform back, the priority isn’t for them to keep their secret identity (which sucks and anyways doesn’t matter) but to stay alive!

But anyways I digress, when has this show ever pulled a logical move?

Which speaking of…

I have no fucking clue what they’re doing with Chloe anymore.

They spent. Entire SEASONS! PLURAL! SEASONS! After the introduction of Audrey Bourgeois, telling us how “no Chloe is irredeemable her actions are never justifiable she’s just evil and bad and she has no other reason for doing anything and she’s so bad she’s cooperating with monarch and Lila look how evil she is hate her so marinette looks better in comparison”

To now… suddenly pulling this scene?!

Like. WHY??? Why would you purposely demonize Chloe despite the very real opportunity she had to get better and be complex, only to now pull a “whoops wait look guys deep compelling character!”

And while I heard people say this is the show maybe finally making Chloe get her redemption arc after hitting rock bottom, I can’t agree? The show is known for its repetitive nature, and if the show is to redeem Chloe and suddenly make her a good person or give her a compelling reason for acting the way she did, marinette looks bad in comparison, for not having as compelling reasons to do just as bad things:

Example? Marinette and Chloe in season 3’s Animaestro, trying to sabotage Lagami and publicly humiliate her in front of Adrien so she won’t “win him over”.

If Chloe has an explanation for this behavior (she’s taught to be cruel and mean from a young age by an abusive and neglectful mother, and because of her equally neglectful father, she learned the only way she’s heard and anyone cares for her is if she lashes out, and someone will just throw money on the problem) what reason does marinette have? She was raised by perfectly loving and doting (maybe too doting) parents, who from day one have taught her to be kind to others, and to do good.

Both characters did an awful thing, just one character has a genuinely compelling explanation for said behavior, while the other is pure jealousy and wanting the guy for herself by all costs.

So no, I don’t think the show will redeem Chloe for that reason: because it would force marinette to admit her wrongdoings and therefore force the plot to develop!

So this just makes no sense? It feels like a case of the show wanting to have its cake and eat it too, wanting the show to remain the same, Chloe to remain awful for no reason, and for marinette to stay the hero by comparison, but also have the bragging rights to say “we write complex character you guys!”

It makes no sense is my point.

Anyways besides these huge inconsistencies, leaps in logic, and bad writing, I don’t really have anything else about this episode to say? This show has officially come to the point for me where I genuinely think nothing will ever change or be able to fix how wrong everything is (from characterization of everyone except for marinette, the plot, the rules of miraculouses, the LOVE SQUARE)

Actually I’ve surprised myself a little cuz even in that timeframe I still remember exactly what was really going on here, so maybe I’ll try to write more lol. The implied Mpreg is with Kuai BTW, but given this is me, bottom bitch Kuai Liang fanatic, I figured that should be obvious but figured I should clarify just in case anyone gets their hopes up lol

“Uh, Captain?”

Hanzo turned to face where the timid voice had come from. Takeda stood staring at his scanners, shivering slightly, his spacesuit clearly not giving him as much protection from the cold as intended. This entire planet was nothing but ice and snow, and Hanzo had to admit, even with the added protection, it was still a bit chilly.

“This planet is meant to be uninhabited, right?” He asked, glancing from the scanner to Hanzo.

“It is an uninhabited planet, yes.” Hanzo shared a glance with the two other crew members. Both looked as perplexed as Hanzo felt.

“It’s just… I’m picking up two extra life signs.”

Hanzo’s head snapped over to Takeda before he strode toward the young man. He looked at the scanner, and just as said, there were two life signs being picked up not too far from where they were. These never came up on their initial scan of the planet from the main ship. From the scanner it looked like they were extremely faint, which might have been why, but it was still odd.

He looked over in the direction where the signs were coming from. He couldn’t see anything except a mountain in the distance. Still if the scanner was right and there was something or someone alive on this planet, they had to check it out.

He clicked his commlink with the ship back on and stated, “Captain to bridge, we have unexpectedly picked up on life signs, we are going to investigate.”

“Roger that Captain,” the voice said on the other end. Hanzo nodded at the three crew with them, before gesturing for Takeda to lead the way, seeing as he had the scanner.

As they made their way across the barren land, the closer they got to the mountain, the stronger the life signs were getting. Despite the snow, he could make out a structure that definitely wasn’t a natural part of the mountain. There was what looked like a massive archway, made of stone, leading into what appeared to be a cave system.

The four of them paused outside the cave. The arch was very ornate, patterns of strange beasts and shapes carved into it. Clearly there had been some form of life here before. Hanzo looked into the cave, but it was so dark there wasn’t much to see.

“The signs are definitely coming from inside there,” Takeda explained, frowning as he stared into the darkness. “It’s up to you Captain if we continue but given that nothing is supposed to be here I think it’s worth pursuing.”

“Ah yes, the expert opinion of a junior scientist,” one of the other crew, Katashi, sarcastically replied, rolling his eyes as he did. “You’ve not even passed your exams yet.”

“He can only pass his exams by gaining field experience,” Hanzo snapped in return. Katashi’s eyes widened and wore a grimace on his face, knowing he really should not have said that in front of Hanzo. Takeda wasn’t just another crew member after all, he was the son of one of Hanzo’s closest friends. He had a personal duty of care as well as a professional one. “Besides, even without a qualification, I’d put money on him knowing more about science than you do.”

“Yes. Sorry Captain.” Katashi hung his head low. Takeda just looked uncomfortable, the confrontation not something he would want to be involved in.

“I have to agree with Takeda,” the other crewmate, Junpei, added. He either didn’t notice or outright ignored the glare Katashi shot him. “We were under the impression this planet has never had life of any kind on it.” He pointed towards the archway. “That rather implies otherwise.”

Hanzo nodded in agreement, clicking the comms on. “Captain to Bridge, we’ve found a cave we believe the life signs are coming from. We will be going inside, I will keep you updated.”

“Understood Captain. Good luck.”

The four of them slowly began to enter the cave, clicking on the flashlights as they did. It wasn’t much. But it should be enough to help them explore the darkness. The walls on the cave continued the patterns on the archway. Clearly a civilisation had been here at some point. It was strange there were no real signs anywhere else but given the conditions of the planet, it might have been better to live in cave systems.

It wasn’t long until in the darkness, he could see a blue light.

“Hello?” He called out. If there was a light, it was reasonable to assume that's where the life signs were coming from. There was no reply however, no sound of movement either except for a constant dripping sound.

Following the light brought them into what he’d almost describe as a room. There were several blue gems, clearly the source of the light, glowing and brightening the area. Looking around, it almost looked like someone had, at least once upon a time, lived here. There were tables and chairs, discarded plates, and what looked like rather rudimentary technology, all covered in a layer of dust. It seemed no one had been here in a long time.

So where are the life signs coming from?

“The scanner says the signs are coming from this room,” Takeda spoke as if reading Hanzo’s thoughts. “I don’t see anything though?”

Hanzo hummed, slowly strolling around the room. He could hear Takeda and Junpei talking about taking a sample of the crystals, as they were unlike anything else they’d ever seen. There even seemed to be some discussion if it was possible the crystals were the life signs. Hanzo instead chose to take a closer look at the tables and things left behind.

There was one table that was particularly unusual. The main surface of the table was incredibly thick, and almost looked like it was made of metal unlike the others made of stone and wood. As he got closer, he realised the very top was made of glass, and through the dirt, he could see lights just past the glass and something else more solid. He reached forward to brush off some of the dust, only to be met with a shocking discovery.

There was a man's face under the glass.

“Takeda,” Hanzo called as he continued to clear the dust. The man looked mostly human, dark black hair and beard. Except he had slightly pointed ears, and what looked like a scar over his one eye, only for some reason the flesh was blue. His face was completely relaxed, and eyes closed. He didn’t look like he was breathing.

Takeda reached his side, staring wide eyed at the man, before lifting up the scanner. “This is where the life sign is coming from…” His mouth went tight. “Both of them, actually.”

Hanzo continued to wipe the dust away, until around the man's chest where he saw the tips of blue hair. Soon, he revealed another person, this one a little girl laying atop the man's chest. The man had his arms around her, like he was protecting her from something. She also did not appear to be breathing.

“How can they possibly be alive?” Hanzo questioned in a whisper.

“This seems to be a status pod,” Takeda explained. Given how old the rest of the technology looked, it seemed so strange that they would have the ability to create such a complex machine. “They’re both alive, just… frozen in time.”

“But why?” Junpei questioned, leaning over to look at the two figures. “I mean, it looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time, why put these two into status?”

“Maybe he put himself into status for some reason?” Katashi added, the first time he’d talked since Hanzo had scolded him. He was looking at the man with an eyebrow raised.

“We won’t know unless we bring them out of status,” Takeda pointed out, tapping the glass with his finger. “It’d probably be better to transport it to the ship, we can keep a closer eye on their condition that way.”

Hanzo reached to pull out a transporter responder, and made sure it was stuck to the pod. He clicked his comm button again and said “Captain to Bridge, we have found something of interest, I have attached a transporter to it, requesting a teleport to the ship.”

“Affirmative Captain,” the voice on the other end said. “Locking on to the responder now.”

It took a minute, but soon a light emitted from the responder, and suddenly the transporter was gone.

“Bridge to Captain, Teleportation successful.”

“Affirmative, 4 to beam up then,” he commanded.

“On it, Captain.”

Another minute passed by, before Hanzo felt the familiar tingling sensation and the blinding light. He blinked, and next thing he knew, he was standing in the teleporter room, his three crew next to him. The pod was in front of them, a couple of science officers looking at it and whispering.

“Takeda, can you help them take it to the medbay and assist in the waking process?” He asked as he made his way towards the door. “Please contact me when it’s almost complete.”

“I will do Captain.” Takeda saluted before turning his attention to the status pod and began to coordinate its transport.

Hanzo on the other hand, had to go and report this discovery to the Earthrealm command. This was, after all, one of the biggest discoveries since the planet had first begun to reach out to others. The discussion went about how he’d expected. His chain of command had been extremely excited by the news of both a potentially long lost civilisation and the prospect of someone from that civilisation being in status. They requested more investigation into the cave and other surrounding mountains, which Hanzo was more than happy to arrange.

When he got the call from Takeda however, he knew that could wait.

He walked into the medbay, expecting the excited atmosphere to still be lingering. When he entered however, he just found tense silence, and no one seemed to want to make eye contact with him. He felt his heart clench. Did they not survive the revival process?

“Captain,” Akemi greeted, and Hanzo immediately knew something was wrong. She never referred to him by his title, only the ever embarrassing Hanzo-Chan nickname from when they were children.

“What’s happened?” He asked, as Akemi waved him over. “Are they okay?”

“They are fine, not fully awake, but their vitals are strong and they are slowly coming around.” She bit her lip, looking nervous. “But… there is something troubling we’ve found.”

Hanzo watched as she brought up a DNA analysis screen. He personally didn’t understand any of it, but he assumed Akemi was about to fill him in.

“We wanted to see if the man and little girl are biologically related.” She tapped some buttons, two graphics of DNA appeared, a cross section was highlighted with a red box from each. “As you can see, their DNA is a match, the girl is the man’s daughter.” Akemi paused for a long time, staring at the screen rather than Hanzo. She looked like she really did not want to say anymore, but eventually forced out, “however, our systems flagged up a second DNA match for her other parent.”

Hanzo frowned, why would the system come up with another match? They only kept records of the crew's DNA.

… Unless…

“The other parent is someone in the crew?”

Akemi was silent, and clicked another button. Hanzo looked towards the screen and watched as the second DNA match was pointed out. A photograph of the crewmate came up seconds later.

And Hanzo found he was staring at a photo of himself.

“What?” He questioned, mouth agape and feeling a cold sweat overtake him. “How? That's… That’s not possible!”

“We’ve double checked- triple checked even.” Akemi shook her head, rubbing her cheek with her hand. “Every time, it comes back to you.”

Hanzo didn’t know what to say. What could he say? He had never met the man in the pod in his life. So how could this child possibly have his DNA?

Before he and Akemi could talk further, Takeda emerged from another room and stated “he’s starting to come around.”

The questions could wait until later. Right now, he had to go and see if he could get any sense out of this strange man. That’s if the ship's translation systems could even translate what the man was saying.

As he walked into the room, he saw the man was already sitting up, although his head was down and he was swaying slightly. He was clearly disoriented. Hanzo knew how that felt. He’d only been in status once but waking up from it was one of the most uncomfortable moments of his life.

“W-where am I?” The man questioned, voice groggy and lethargic.

“You are on the Starship Shirai Ryu,” Hanzo replied, stepping forward. He noticed the man’s fists clench as his head shot up, glaring at Hanzo with icy blue eyes. “My name is-“

“Hanzo Hasashi,” the man hissed, baring his teeth. Hanzo felt himself falter. Not only did this man know him, he seemed extremelyangry at him. “You… You have some nerve.”

“I- Do I know you?” Hanzo asked, genuinely confused.

“Do not play innocent with me!”

The man flung an arm forward, a blue energy being thrown towards Hanzo. He was thrown back against the wall. He heard Akemi and Takeda shout for him. He expected to fall to the ground, yet he didn’t. He just felt a cold creep across his chest. When he looked down, he found he was trapped against the wall by a formation of ice around his torso.

“You don’t get to pretend you don’t know who I am,” the man screamed, arm still outstretched as he leapt off the cot he’d been on. His legs buckled slightly but he did not relent. “You don’t get to act like you didn’t abandon me and-”

His face dropped, like he’d just realised something. His breathing became frenzied, as he frantically looked around the room. The man turned back to them, now not just anger, but outright murder in his eyes.

“Where is she?” He demanded, holding his hand forward. More ice began to engulf Hanzo. “What have you done to her?”

“Your daughter is safe,” Akemi tried to plead, “she is in the other room. We can take you to her, if you just-”

“Why should I trust anyone associated with him?” The man snarled with such venom it was almost terrifying. There was a crack as the ice spread.

“Please, I don’t know what I’ve done, but-” Hanzo was cut off by another growth spurt of ice. “We found you and your daughter in a status pod on an uninhabited planet.”

“W-What? Status…” The man trailed off, retracting his hand. The ice shattered and Hanzo finally fell to the floor. As Takeda and Akemi reached to pull him up, the man asked, “What year is this?”

“4020,” Hanzo stated softly. The man’s eyes widened and he stumbled backwards.

“No, but-” he reached a hand to his head and softly pulled on his hair. “That would be… a thousand years.” So, this man was from the 3000’s? But that didn’t explain how he knew Hanzo, or what anything he just said meant. “How are you alive? Your species don’t live that long.”

“I genuinely do not know what you’re talking about,” Hanzo softly said, taking an experimental step forward to see how it would go.

The man stared at him for a long moment, before he questioned, “you really don’t remember me?” There was a hurt in his eyes as he really studied him. He blinked rapidly, and tilted his head. “You look… Younger than when I first met you.”

Looked younger? “Well… I am 39.”

The man responded by shaking his head, “no, no you were 48 when we met.”

How the hell is that possible? Meeting me at an older age 1000 years in the past? He looked to Takeda and Akemi for an answer but both of them looked bewildered.

He turned back to the man, “what is your name?”

“Kuai Liang,” he replied, looking away and grabbing his wrist with one of his hands. That anger he’d held seemed to have dissipated, leaving only confusion and an aching sadness.

“Kuai Liang, I do not know what is going on, or what I have done to make you so angry,” he began, Kuai seemed to continue to just stare at the wall, “but I promise I’ll figure this out if it’s the last thing I ever do.” Kuai seemed reluctant to believe him, but nodded in agreement. “For now, why don’t we reunite you with your daughter?”

Kuai turned and regarded him. Hanzo could see in his eyes that he was trying to work out if he already knew the child’s heritage. Neither of them said anything about it, but he was certain Kuai could tell Hanzo knew the truth.

“Thank you,” Kuai whispered, and Hanzo just tried to give him a reassuring smile. It didn’t seem to help.

Still Hanzo let Akemi lead them out of the room, into the one next to it, where a certain little girl was sitting up, looking tired and confused.

“Frost!” Kuai darted forward, rushing up to her and gathering her in his arms. “Are you okay?”

“Fine, Bàba,” She said with a yawn. “Where are we?”

“Safe, little one,” Kuai murmured, holding her close to his chest, even as he shot Hanzo yet another distrustful look. “We are safe.”

There were so many questions, so much about this situation that just didn’t make sense. That could wait, he supposed. For now, he’d let Kuai Liang and Frost settle from their ordeal before hitting them with the hard questions.

Just a correction, Harry was likely caught checking Olivia’s fan page for a very specific reason. In the specific story he looked at, Olivia was hanging out with Harry’s manager’s mom, Shelli Azoff. And then she followed Shelli on ig that same day.

Olivia has been openly obsessed with Harry since the breakup and I think she’s been acting out behind the scenes (I’ll explain why in a sec), so Harry was worried, since he was getting with Taylor. It’s actually nuts once you look at it.

1. Olivia’s publicist went to People Magazine to say that Olivia was crushed by the breakup like a week after it happened. That was pretty fucking weird. Why would she do that? We know People doesn’t publish fanfic so that came straight from her publicist

2. She went to Maui with her BFF right after the breakup, and months later, when there was a whole hurricane issue in Maui, she was posting about gathering relief for it and literally captioned the pics with “Maui picked me up from the floor when I was shattered in pieces.” Like, she really didn’t need to do that!!

3. In February there was ANOTHER People article stating how Harry and Olivia were still close friends and detailing how many projects Olivia had to direct (where are they?) so it clearly came from her camp as well

4. At this point Harry was being openly flirty on stage and it was heavily rumored that he was hooking up with IG models that his friend Brad met on Raya lmao. His personal head of security, Paddy, was even seen approaching two girls in Australia. He seemed more than fine.

5. Harry had his keyboard player Nyoh open for him in New Zealand because that’s her home country. Nyoh had followed Olivia on IG in 2021, Olivia followed her back the day it was announced she’d open for him, making it clear that Olivia was following news about Harry, because she couldn’t have found out simply from her TL.

6. In March, when Harry made out with Emrata, Olivia unfollowed Emily, and Olivia’s friend (@icouldbeblonder) posted “You can’t have Ratajkowski without Rat” in her stories. There were pictures of Olivia and this woman hanging out a few days later too, so absolutely no excuses. Btw, as someone who was a huge fan of Olivia’s until this whole thing, she and Emily were NOT friends. They had hung out publicly exactly two times, one was when Emily went to Harry’s concert in July 2022 (and she went to his concert in Paris the day before she walked for Balenciaga, she probably was just in the area and was invited, Lenny Kravitz and Keith Urban were also at that show, also hanging out with Olivia). Olivia followed Emily on instagram after this show, not before. The second time they were seen hanging out was just sitting in a group at the Vanity Fair’s Oscar party. They never interacted publicly other than Emily saying Olivia didn’t deserve the hate she got. Like, legitimately, she was mad a hot girl was banging her ex, because she had no leg to stand on. Olivia is super open about her friends so the fact that she never mentioned Emrata makes it pretty obvious they weren’t even acquaintances.

7. This is why I think something happened behind the scenes. Someone went to Page Six to say that Emily was “begging for forgiveness” about making out with Harry, which made Emily look super bad. Then immediately after, there was a source in People Magazine saying that Emily and Harry weren’t serious but they were hanging out and spending time together. It was from Emily’s perspective and it said that she liked him but wasn’t looking for anything serious. This, to me, was Emily being like “fuck you bitch I don’t want forgiveness.” But Page Six didn’t get that out of nowhere, and Olivia and her publicist have used Page Six a bunch in the past. Also, the third party involved (Harry) didn’t look too well in that scenario either, so there was only one party involved that would want that narrative out there. I can’t imagine that if she and her friends were nasty publicly, they just did that privately. I’m sure he got a bunch of angry messages and stuff. I don’t think he and Olivia were talking at this point. He wasn’t even trying to hide to be hooking up with hot girls on tour (as he shouldn’t he was 29 and newly single after two years!!)

Also, the whole “they’re friends it’s a break not a breakup” to ME was nothing more than PR on Olivia’s part. If you look at the timeline of what happened and how they broke up and when, it’s pretty clear that he ended things because of the nanny articles, which outright claimed that Olivia had LIED to Harry about her relationship with Jason and when it ended, and then CHEATED on Harry with Jason for two months. Also, Olivia apparently told Jason that Harry and FLORENCE were sleeping together, to throw him off her scent. But I find it incredibly unlikely that was real, because there wasn’t any time for that at all (Harry didn’t get to LA from Europe until late September 2020 and he and Olivia were official-official like three weeks later), but also, Flo and Zach Braff ended things on really good terms and worked together after breaking up. I cannot see that being the case if she cheated on him with a close friend (Harry and Zach had been friends since 2013). That’s probably one of the reasons Flo had issues with Olivia (not the only one, imo).

The nanny articles came out October 17 and the breakup was announced November 18. Also, 10 days before the nanny articles, Harry had to postpone a concert in Chicago out of nowhere, which he never does. The excuse was “band illness” but his band was all accounted for and were seen hanging out in downtown Chicago. Immediately after this cancellation, Olivia who had been stuck in LA with her kids who had school there (in the past she went to Harry’s tour whenever Jason had the kids, but he was stuck in London filming Ted Lasso), flew to Chicago for 24 hours. Then immediately went back to LA. As soon after she left, Harry’s mom and sister showed up in Chicago for like two days, which they usually never do. They usually just do LA or NYC in the States. It was a random trip, too short for their standards, in the middle of the week. What I gathered from this movement is that Daily Mail sent an advanced copy of their Nanny expose, which was about to come out, and Harry lost it at finding out his girlfriend of two years had lied and cheated on him. Had to postpone the concert and they ended things, so his family went there to support him.

They were only seen together once between the nanny article and the breakup article, and he looked fucking MISERABLE. Walking a few steps behind her, when he was always all about PDA with her (they’d been photographed making out on the street a few weeks earlier). Then when they got to the car, she was about to sit on the passenger seat as he sat on the driver seat, and then Harry saw that, said something to his friend Tom, who ran around the car and told her to sit in the back. There’s video of it on Daily Mail and it was always so telling.

I don’t think it was an amicable breakup, but I think he agreed to play nice because he wouldn’t benefit from the scandal either. I don’t think there’s ever been any communication between them and I don’t think he was stalking her fan account because he missed her. More so, he was worried she’d pull the same shit she did with Emrata with his new girlfriend. Most likely scenario someone in his circle sent him the story like “lookout she was with Shelli.”

I didn’t mention a bunch of other stuff, like her following Djuna and Nikolai Haas, two of Harry’s friends he met through Camille (Djuna followed Olivia before she was even with Harry, but Nikolai never followed her, to this day). Following his makeup artist. Following his very low key friends, like Gabe Turner. Liking a bunch of pics of him on random accounts like Vogue. Posting pictures of her children wearing gifts he’d given HER while they were dating (and not any random gift, like, at some point she posted her daughter wearing a hat he’d bought that Olivia herself had worn in a photo shoot, like, the hat had lore and articles written about how HE had bought it for her. Why put her daughter in that position?)

She followed the White Cube gallery when he was seen with Taylor Russell there. Then she followed another Whit Cube gallery when Harry was seen there on a trip to NYC to see Taylor while she was working. Olivia also unfollowed Vogue when they posted pictures of Harry and Taylor Russell together calling them a chic couple.

She posted a whole ass throwback picture of the inside of his house right after he and Taylor were seen together. She’s certifiably nuts. I used to adore her but I felt so weirded out after finding out what she had done and how she was behaving.

”She’s certifiably nuts. I used to adore her but I felt so weirded out after finding out what she had done and how she was behaving.” - this is me. Loved her since The OC but she’s a crazy fucking bitch lol. Not a fan anymore. Also not entirely convinced she can’t reel Harry back in and not saying this in a misogynistic way like saying this in a “crazy women who are hot are crazy and hot and often get away with craziness” way.

I honestly agree with all of this even though I felt kind of frustrated about the unresolved sexual tension between the two of them not culminating in a kiss, but you know what, whatever, they did it the way they did it. Kate has total independence and agency in the film. There's never any question that she could be doing anything because of a romance. That's not for nothing.

The original 1996 movie has this tension because it's like well would Bill really do any of these things if he didn't secretly want Jo back? Because it's the 90s and everything was kind of a heterosexual romcom back then, you know that they just HAVE to get together at the end. Bill sheds his fiancée in the middle of the script (Jami Gertz plays this really well, btw; Melissa realizes that this isn't the relationship she signed up for and nopes out on her own terms and it's not cruel to her character at all). At the end of the movie Bill and Jo have nothing except each other and they realize they need each other and they make out and have their little faux argument about who's going to run the lab. It's a good resolution for them and fits in the 1996 universe of the movie exactly as it needs to.

The 2024 movie hits all the same story beats in the exact same order and with the exact same pacing as the 1996 movie, it just gets to them in different ways and they mean different things. It's a total structural and visual riff on the previous film, which I've seen soooo many times that it's like automatic to me. I wanted that story beat of them kissing at the end to satisfy my own desire to see Glen Powell make out with somebody but I am willing to accept that maybe that's the story they wanted to tell, a story about two people who are extremely nerdy about a specific thing and find each other at a pivotal moment and decide to combine forces to accomplish something greater and it wasn't romantic for them, they're just really great colleagues and friends. Like. Sure. Okay.

I think it's executed well and I think it gives the characters enough texture and agency to pull it off. I think there is an aspect to this that could be part of the "sexlessness panic" where like movies aren't horny anymore and what does that mean about society, are they trying to take horniness from us, etc. maybe they are. It's a BIT of a tease to show Glen Powell in a wet white tshirt but maybe I'm just a dirty bitch. There's an intellectual and physical tension between the characters that plays very well and makes you THINK there's going to be a certain payoff. I don't think they teased it or telegraphed it but I do think the actors had a certain chemistry that could have been utilized to that end, to give the audience that movie theater candy, so to speak. Maybe it works better that they didn't and it's authentically the story they wanted to tell. But...

To reflect on another recent many-years-later sequel : One thing I thought was interesting about Top Gun: Maverick was that despite depicting a romance and even sex, they neutered it onscreen, not really showing the characters' bodies in a sensual way, like oh we can't show people in their 50s/60s in an erotic context. So while there was a romance, I didn't feel sexual tension between those characters, and the effect was kind of... idk it was like accidentally seeing your parents have sex. (To say nothing of the fact that Tom Cruise is a scary as fuck human being and there was very clearly like an image management sanitization happening with that movie, like "this is the guy that brought movies back baby!!!" after the pandemic but really he is a Scientologist with ex wives who are afraid of him and a PR team more advanced than that of most nation states, so it's kinda hard to pitch him as a romantic lead these days)

Maybe what I'm really saying here is that Glen Powell exudes sex appeal and the production didn't necessarily do anything to curtail that in Twisters which is why this website is now full of "Tyler Owens x reader" fanfic written probably by teenagers inspired by a movie where there is absolutely no romantic or sexual subplot whatsoever.

I respect and honor their decision but could I have made it as a writer? I don't know if I could have the strength.

Went to see "Twisters" tonight and it was thoroughly enjoyable!

Some spoilers below the cut

Okay first of all, I'm extremely excited to say that they don't push a love triangle despite there being a girl MC and two main guys. One of them is an old friend who remains firmly an old friend, with no indication that he has romantic feelings. Like they get to be actual friends!!!!! And the other, while potentially a love interest, had just as much potential to be a friend instead, and in an extremely important (to me) way they do not kiss! I was shocked, actually. I expected them to pull out a "gotta have a kiss to appease the amatonormative folks" but nope! Not even in the little mid credit blurb. He stays the night at her childhood home with her and nothing happens. Like not even an awkward moment of tension, they don't even show them going to bed I don't think.

And I feel this to my bones, she was allowed to be the star. She changed her old friend's mind and gave him a chance to choose doing the right thing and he did it because he cared about her opinion of him and wanted to be who she thought he was. And the other guy found out she had dreams/goals of doing something and instead of taking them or doing it for her, he said what can I do to help you, and she chose to let him help her. It was so softly done!! And this guy, he was a full on attention hound with a YouTube channel and loves showing off and he's taking a press guy into the storms to do a story about how awesome he is at tornado wrangling. But when it comes down to it, he tells the reporter she's the real story AND SHE IS!! The article gets written about her instead!

The beginning was. A lot. You get introduced to the storm hunting group, and then immediately 3 of the 5 get killed and the MC almost does, all because she miscalculated. But you know what? She a) keeps her trauma and b) continues doing meteorology stuff, just from a safer distance. Like it's very clear that tornadoes are still this girl's passion, something she loves with every fiber of her being, but she's also been traumatized by losing her boyfriend and two of her closest friends (not to mention her dream project) and nearly her life, in one go. And even still it is something she literally can't stay away from, she still takes a job involved with them through data analysis, and you can practically feel it killing her at the start. The way she lights up at the mention of studying them more closely like she had wanted to, and that excitement immediately chased out by fear. It was nicely done.

They did a really nice thing with the music as well- PERFECTLY captured that kind of moment where the rest of the world drops away and all you can perceive for a moment or two is this thing you love so much it feels like time stops to let you love it more. Except she's looking at weather. At winds moving or clouds or tornadoes. Which is so cool of them to have done for her. This girl loves one thing and it's fuckin WEATHER.

The "villain" of the story is understated and they really don't waste time going into detail about it, which is great because the MC isn't really interested in finding out more about the real estate mogul capitalizing on the devastation. She just doesn't want her friend working for them anymore. She finds out he is, she draws a line in the sand and tells him he should be doing the right thing not the easy thing, and her friend takes her objection seriously and alters his behavior. And that's all the more they really get into that side of the story. Why waste time on it when there's more tornadoes to show? This movie did what Godzilla: King of Monsters failed to do- showed us the monster as much as possible and actually I do care about the people still because none of their problems were irrelevant, none of them were problems for the sake of having problems.

Anyway this movie was enjoyable to me. If you like weather phenomena, storm chasing, chaos, and actually interesting interpersonal relationships, go have a watch!

Word count: 3.5k

Warning: mentions of alcohol, getting drunk, cheating, very brief hints of suggestive content, toxic relationship, Yeji is insensitive and egocentric

☕buy me a coffee☕

Hwang Yeji was a force to be reckoned with. Aside from her fierce looks and high popularity standing, her name was known all over the campus because of how she attained her spot. And people either wanted her attention or refused to do anything with her at all due to her reputation.

You were, formerly, the latter, wanting absolutely nothing to do with the dance team's most popular member.

It wasn't as though you hated her. But you've heard enough about her to know not to bother. It wasn't as though you had any classes that involved her, considering you had two different courses.

However, it's during one of the parties your friend, Ryujin, had managed to drag you to where you first officially met the girl. She had stated that life was too short for you to be spending it indoors, studying.

You were in college to study. Fun would come when you were free, you would tell her, and that always earned you an eye roll from the latter before she would stick by you either way.

You and Ryujin balanced each other out, helping you relax when you were too paranoid with your studies, while you were there for every drunk call or emergency and even helping her with her own studies when she needed it.

So it was absolutely no surprise when she successfully brought you to the party, where you met the infamous Hwang Yeji.

She was intrigued by you upon introduction. You merely gave her a small nod of acknowledgement before turning back to your friend and acting as though she were not there at all.

And while it was nothing new to her, Yeji found herself looking at you again during the party, this time without Ryujin anywhere near you whilst some guy, who clearly had more drinks than he could handle, was getting too comfortable in your personal space.

"Learn to take a hint. She's not interested."

You were a little surprised when Yeji intervened, putting herself in between you and the boy before she had gently, yet firmly, nudged him away.

"So… Ryujin tells me you're not really one for parties." You blink when she addresses you, but shrug in response. "She can be stubborn when she wants. I was just dragged here." You had muttered, earning an amused laugh from the taller girl while your brows furrowed together. "Of course, it's not a surprise with how persistent she can sometimes be."

At that moment, you didn't realize that your best friend was actually close to her. Perhaps it was only a matter of time and you were bound to cross paths with Yeji.

She kept you company for the rest of the night and you, surprisingly, found her presence comforting. She was fun and she was nicer than you had originally painted her to be, which you had apologized to her about.

"It's alright, I kinda get that a lot so it doesn't bother me so much anymore." She assures you, her eyes showing the utter sincerity she had.

But before either of you could continue talking, you were interrupted by your best friend who finally found you after a couple drinks.

You had to apologize and made sure to bring Ryujin back to her dorm, seeing as she was in no condition of being on her own. But of course, even in her drunken state, your best friend was able to poke a bit of fun at you, no matter how nonsensical her teasing was.

"I thought you didn't… didn't like her?" She jabbed with a slight poke to your arm when you did your best to balance her on her feet. "You were getting real cozy." She drawled out and you sigh while shaking your head.

"Maybe I judged her too quickly."

Despite your peaceful conversation, you doubted you'd even see her again after that night.

Or so you thought.

Literally a day after the party, you found Yeji standing in the hall with a kind smile plastered on her face, people glancing at her with curiosity. She didn't usually come over to this side of campus unless she was asked to.

However, as soon as her eyes caught your figure, she was quick to walk over, her grin widening even just a little bit. "Hey, I was afraid I might have missed you." You're understandably confused by her words, and everyone else was just as clueless as you were.

Since when were you and Yeji acquainted?

Even some of your classmates knew that you weren't exactly involved with the "popular kids" on campus. Ryujin was the only exception.

"I… wasn't aware we were meeting?" You voice out and she giggles before rubbing the back of her neck in a sheepish manner. "I know. Sorry, I was hoping we could pick up on our conversation last night." She explains and you're honestly surprised when she begins to tell you about how she found your overall self interesting to be with.

"I asked Ryujin what class you had. I hope you don't mind."

Honestly, after misjudging her, giving her this chance wasn't that bad, so you agreed. And to the offer after that, and the one after.

Yeji basically waited for you after your class for a whole three weeks before she finally built up the courage to properly ask you out…

And you were already drawn into the charms that she possessed at that point and agreed in a heartbeat.

Being with Yeji had been an absolute dream, up until five months into the relationship.

While you both still did hang out together, you both had different classes and different activities. You only managed to see each other during breaks and on the weekends that you barely even felt her slipping from you so soon.

You would talk to her as much as you could though, getting her gifts every now and then when something caught your eye, but for the past week, you've begun to notice a change in her behavior.

While she was still somewhat the same as when you both started, she also had this slightly off character behavior when a few people would pass you by or when you were anywhere near her things.

Her smiles were looking more practiced and less genuine, but her words were always still coated in honey. Every time an inkling feeling of doubt began to touch your mind, it was as though she would know right away and her lips are already making you forget about all of it.

But it was all temporary.

You would remember it right away when you're not with her, and the glances you now received in the halls were different compared to before.

You were used to some of the scowls and sneers, but what you were not used to, however, was the pitiful stares directed at you.

It takes you a few days to catch on to what was really happening, but you deny it at first. Of course, Yeji was popular, but you also wanted to cling to the hope that maybe she was different with you and that you really did mean as much to her as she promised you did. 

But you weren’t.

Not when you could see her with her tongue down some random person’s throat in the very obviously crowded halls with some of their friends cheering them on. Ryujin looked to and from, unsure with what to say, but you decided for her as you turned on your heel and walked away without letting your so-called girlfriend know that you had just caught her red handed.

You didn’t need the headache right now. But you played her game.

You waited with how long she would keep up the dumb charade of stringing you along, completely unaware of what you now knew, and you weren’t sure whether to say you were disappointed or impressed.

But when a month had passed, you’ve decided that enough was enough and dropped her entirely.

It wasn’t an official breakup, but there didn’t seem to really be a need to say it out loud, not when she was very much preoccupied with whoever she decided to see behind your back and not with how you’ve stopped bothering to check on her.

Everyone else had also assumed you had broken up, anyway.

But it looked like Yeji didn’t get the memo.

“She’s what?” Yeji paused in her tracks after her brother had commented about you moving on fairly quickly. Hyunjin raised a brow at her, head cocked to the side in confusion as he repeated his sentence. “Honestly, I didn’t think she’d be over you in a month. You must not have been as good as you thought you were.” He joked, and the confusion filled the younger Hwang even more as she stepped away. “We didn’t break up.”

Another wave of confusion came over their group before another person snickered at the dancer. “Well then, it looks like someone’s learned to play your game, Yeji.”

That did not sit well with her.

There was just no way you would be cheating on her despite what she’s already been doing. While she didn’t care much anymore, it was more so her pride on the line with this new information as she made her way to your building and waited outside your class.

However, you were not among the sea of faces that usually exited the class when it ended. In fact, she doesn’t even recognize the professor that exited the room, so she’s quick to pull one of the students by the arm and ask what their course was.

“Where the hell…”

After finding out that your class had moved to a different location in the building, she immediately exited and opted to find you in the field. Everyone would be there and she remembers how you always lingered there. You liked to people watch, you had told her. So it wouldn’t be a surprise if she found you in one of the places you would both spend time together in between breaks.

And she was right

Right under one of the trees, she found you typing away on your laptop with your best friend sitting right beside you, talking about something she was too far to even hear.

“Y/n, we need to talk.”

You don’t bother looking up at her when she approaches you, but Ryujin does, and her eyes widen a little before she attempts to pull at your arm. “Y/n, come on.” She muttered, but you refused to budge. “I’m busy.” You grumble, and Yeji’s patience runs thin when you don’t even acknowledge her.

“Y/n.” She tries again, but you’re adamant to keep her existence away from your focus… until she decides to make it known by shutting your laptop. You’re only lucky your reflexes are quick enough to pull away and avoid getting your fingers caught.

“What the hell? I was working!” You glare up at the intruder, but Yeji’s own glare matches it as she crosses her arms with a scowl painted on her features. “I said we need to talk.” She snapped back and you only rolled your eyes before snatching your laptop from the table and shoving it into your bag to leave.

Yeji’s annoyance shifted into anger as she reached for your arm and yanked you back. “I have nothing to say to you, Hwang! Whatever you have to say, you can shove it up your ass!” You shouted and your ex girlfriend looked a little taken aback by your sudden aggression.

You’ve never raised your voice at her.

“What is wrong with you? I just wanted to talk!” She shouted back while you pulled your arm away from her. “I’m hearing from my brother that you’re seeing someone else?” She demanded and you’re honestly not sure if she was being serious or not.

What the hell did it matter to her? You weren’t hers anymore.

“I don’t see how that’s any of your business.” You deadpan and it infuriates her how you don’t even bother denying the accusation. “Because you’re my girlfriend?” She scoffed and your expression shifted a little as you slowly cocked your head to the side.

“Your girlfriend?” You muse with a laugh. “Is this some sort of joke?” Ryujin starts tugging at your arm again when more people begin to look over, but you keep your eyes on Yeji’s angry but also confused expression.

“You know, at first I felt bad for judging you so quickly.” You say calmly, and Yeji isn’t sure she understands where this is suddenly coming from, but there’s a dread building in her stomach. “But the past months only proved to me just how right I was about you.”

Slipping out of Ryujin’s grasp, you step closer to Yeji, almost menacingly before jabbing a finger at the center of her chest. “Blowing me off for friends, I could excuse that. I could have excused the lying, but cheating…”  Her blood ran cold as you smiled innocently at her. “You have some nerve to come up to me accusing me of cheating when you were screwing around with basically everyone when my back was turned.”

Stepping away from her, you gave the dancer a once over before shaking your head, deciding that it wasn’t worth the effort to even argue with her, but you do ask, just to knock her down a little more.

“Tell me, how many times did you sleep with Ryujin before she decided to end it because she felt guilty?”

Your best friend’s head snapped to you, growing pale at your words before she spoke up. “How did- Wait, Y/n, I didn’t…” But you only raise a hand to stop her from making any form of excuse. Even Yeji looked just as shocked by what you’d said because Ryujin did, in fact, call it off between them after she couldn’t look you in the eyes for nearly a week due to her guilt and shame.

“Ah, was that supposed to have been a secret? And here I thought I was wrong about something about you.” You click your tongue before finally fixing your bag’s strap on your shoulder and begin to walk away. “Maybe that’ll teach you before you try to make a fool out of another person.”

"Oh, and I hope you have plans on paying me back after that joy ride you took with my car. Really did a number on my headlights."

People were quick to separate, forming a path for you as you left and Yeji was left watching after you, dumbfounded. Ryujin, on the other hand, had pushed past the opposite direction and got out of everyone's view as quickly as she possibly could.

It's only when the whispering starts does Yeji finally snap out of it and her scowl comes back ten times harsher. "What are you looking at? Don't you have homework to do?" She snapped at them, and in an instant, people dispersed like smoke while Yeji stomped her way to her dorm in hopes of just shrugging off the shit show she had just brought herself to.

..

You're thankful that you had absolutely no reason to cross paths with Yeji after that mess of a breakup. Could you even consider it a breakup? Maybe.

Ryujin had been your only common denominator but even she had stopped showing her face to you. Though it wasn't as though you were purposefully ignoring her, you just saw no reason for you to stick around someone who had boldly gone behind your back and blatantly lied to your face for as long as she did.

"Hey, mind if I take a seat?"

You look up at the new voice cutting off your train of thought, just to make sure it wasn't you being addressed, but the girl was standing right by the bench you were occupying with her eyes trained on your face.

Glancing around, there were a lot of free places she could sit at, but not wanting to be rude, you just nod your head.

"You don't talk much, do you?" She observes when she takes a seat and you're honestly so confused as to who this girl was and why she was talking to you as though she already knew who you were.

And she seemed to have understood the expression you wore before her smile turned a little sheepish. "Right, sorry, my name is Lee Chaeryeong. We shared a gen ed class once before." She explains and then gestures in your general direction. "I also kind of know a bit about you after the whole Yeji thing a few months back."

Well that explains it.

Letting out a puff of air, your shoulders sag a little because of course you had something for people to talk about now even though all you wanted was a peaceful college life.

"Hey, if it's any consolation, I think it was really nice how you stood up for yourself. I'm sure I would have just cried if I was in your place." She offers and you're a little skeptical with her kindness.

It reminded you of when you first met Yeji.

But you decided to let Chaeryeong do her thing, listening to her as she spoke, even though you don't really answer her as much.

That goes on for another month and you're slowly getting used to her babbling. You speak up every now and then and she's more than happy when she manages to get you to say more than just one word.

She knows you don't trust her yet, but she also understands why.

Two months later, she manages to see the ghost of a smile on your lips when she trips over her own feet as you make your way to the theater to join her. She wanted to show you a play her and her team were working on, only to cut herself off when she fell to the ground.

The pout on her face quickly melted away when she caught it, but she didn't push as you offered to help her up, only accepting your hand and then walking the rest of the way without letting go.

It was safe to say that you probably have grown comfortable with the girl that was too shy around strangers yet a completely sassy and snarky disaster to her friends. You were no exception, but she was a little more gentle, sometimes.

“Hold on, let me go grab my bag.” Chaeryeong beams happily at the quick peck to her cheek, but there was no denying the significant change you’ve had ever since you’ve first met each other.

It was like your straight face and standoffish behavior were never there to begin with, a myth if she didn’t experience it firsthand. She was glad though, because it made her reward much more meaningful now when you do smile at her.

“So you’re the person Y/n’s replaced me with?”

Chaeryeong doesn’t need to turn around to know who was talking to her, but her face does shift to a more neutral one as she responds. “You can’t replace something that wasn’t really there.” She shot back, hearing the scoff coming from the older girl before she turned around.

There was a little form of satisfaction knowing that she could get under your ex’s skin without even trying. Yeji just easily handed it to her.

“Leave them alone. You managed to do that even before you officially broke up.” Yeji stayed quiet for a few minutes before she shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t worry, I’m not here to cause trouble. I just thought I’d check, but seeing that they have company, then I guess it’s whatever.”

Chaeryeong’s brows pinch together at the latter’s behavior, but she does note how the older girl glances over her shoulder, to the direction you went off to. “I’m honestly a little surprised you managed to get them to open up.”

At that, your girlfriend hums before looking over her own shoulder. “You broke her trust… in more ways than one.” Ryujin is an unspoken factor, but the way Yeji’s face shifts shows her that she remembers.

Ryujin was your best friend, practically your other half, but she managed to strip her away from you in the most merciless way possible and you were left all alone.

“I would never make the same mistake you did. I’m nothing like you, and I hope you know that I would never hurt Y/n the way you did.”

Yeji stares at her for a while before she nods her head, resolute. “I don’t doubt that.” She mutters while shoving her hands in her pockets. “You’re lucky to have someone who holds trust so preciously let you in.”

“It’s a rare chance, especially with someone like Y/n.”

And with that, Yeji left, leaving Chaeryeong to mull over her thoughts before you came back. What Yeji was trying to achieve, she would never know. But as you came back and took her hand in yours, another smile bloomed across your girlfriend’s face before she started to lead you away from campus.

With the way your smile resembled the warmth and brightness of the sun, Chaeryeong knew Yeji was right about one thing.

She was lucky indeed.

Let's Analyze - Alec in CoFA

So, I’ve been seeing plenty of discourse on two of my mutual’s blogs about this topic… so I thought I’d sit down and write another analysis post about my beloved Alec Lightwood cause people are still giving him shit for a book that came out ten years ago 🤦‍♀️

This is gonna be in two parts, and I'm putting both under the cut:

PART 1 - ALEC’S INSECURITIES 

So, the first part - how Alec’s insecurities drove him to saying stupid things in CoFA

A quick disclaimer - I’m NOT blaming Alec alone for his and Magnus’s break up. What happened was pretty complicated, and the blame cannot be put on one person alone. 

That said, let’s start with Magnus and Alec’s early ‘official’ relationship, in trsom.

These scenes are taken from only the first part of the book, but I’m pretty sure they’re more than enough to get a sense of Alec’s insecurities and all the chinks in their relationship. Throughout the entirety of trsom, we see more bits and pieces of Alec’s insecurities about Magnus’s sexuality, and his past and all the people he might have known - and that’s okay! Insecurities happen, cause brains are stupid like that.

But all of Alec’s insecurities could’ve been laid to rest with a simple conversation. But the conversation never happens. Magnus tends to deflect and change the topic every single time his past is brought up. I understand Magnus’s reasons for hiding his past, of course, but it doesn’t help his relationship with Alec. Magnus hiding a good chunk of his past will inevitably lead to Alec questioning himself - why is he so secretive? Why is he not telling me anything? Does he not trust me? ...and so on.

And when Alec is already feeling insecure in this relationship, this happens - (sorry about the terrible cropping btw)

And then later, while Magnus is talking to Camille,

Now… when people are insecure about something, they get irked at the smallest of things. I’m saying this as an insecure person myself. So now, you've got Alec, who's insecure as fuck, and his vacation with the person he loves got cut short by his ex who refuses to talk to anyone but him, and when they get there, his lover and his lover's ex seem to have obvious chemistry, he gets hit with the reality that his lover has dated several, probably even hundreds of people before him; and he has to leave them alone in a room so they can talk, and then he hears the ex basically just list all his shortcomings - i.e, his mortality, his appearance is compared to some random dead guy (sorry, Will) whom your lover had a crush on, which is just weird, and when you've had enough and open the door, it's to see your lover and his ex, standing close as fuck, and he's! touching! her! face! and! looking! into! her! eyes!

*takes a sip of water* yeahhhh... Alec was straight up having a bad day.

And at this point, a) Alec is still in his first relationship. He didn't get to navigate romance when he was younger, and while there's nothing wrong with that, there weren't exactly cutesy presentations titled 'how to keep your relationships healthy' floating around the internet. Heck, he didn’t know the internet. He didn't know that he had to communicate with Magnus, and it doesn't help that boy avoids conversations about feelings like the plague. And b) at this point, Alec would be facing several negative emotions - insecurity, obviously. Hurt. Helplessness, because of his mortality. Fear, that he might not live up to Magnus’s past lovers. Jealousy at seeing Magnus and Camille so close.

Negative emotions like these often tend to show up as anger or sorrow... and in Alec’s case, that would be anger. Which leads us to THIS- (🙈)

*sighs in second-hand embarrassment*

*drinks more water*

*this is gonna be so hard aksjakak*

So. Alec dealt with his insecurities... by being a mean, mean bitch to Magnus :/

Let's break this scene down, slowly, bit by bit.

First, Alec cuts into a conversation between Magnus and Jordan, when Magnus mentions Woolsey Scott, followed the rest of that particular page. To Alec, he's just a figure from Magnus’s past, and a possible lover, though in Alec’s defense Woolsey Scott WAS Magnus’s lover. This is the first instance that we see in which Alec lashes out at Magnus. It seems like he's trying to make a point to Magnus - "I don't know anything about your past, and so I don't know who you've had romances with, but I want to know." Except he makes his point in the worst way possible and ends up slutshaming Magnus.

The "What's true?" line, in response to Jordan saying "so it's true what they say about warlocks, then?" is pretty obvious. Alec is clearly not liking the idea that this random werewolf might know about warlocks, and in particular, his Warlock boyfriend.

Next... ooh boy... Alec basically snaps and in the next few paragraphs accuses Magnus of wanting to flirt with others which... is not a good look on ya honey 😕. These lines are the ones that get him accused of being biphobic... but is he really? I'm gonna talk about that in part 2.

So, in the first paragraph, where Alec makes the comments about Jordan, I find his choice of words pretty... interesting, seeing as 'messy-haired', 'broad-shouldered' and 'chiseled-good-looks' are all used to describe Alec in the series. Not sure if its relevant, but definitely interesting.

And in the next one, where Alec says, "or there are plenty of pretty girls here, since apparently your taste goes both ways. Is there anything you aren't into?" The 'apparently' makes me curious. In rsom, Alec mentions that he's only recently heard of the term bisexual, and there's plenty of time between rsom and cofa, so Alec should be absolutely sure of atleast the basic meaning of bisexuality. But I'm pretty sure it's just inconsistency on cc's part, since if rsom didn't exist, this book would be the first time Alec learns about Magnus’s bisexuality. (Which is obvious when you look at the scene after Magnus reveals that Camille is his girlfriend.) And as for the second sentence, I feel like it's a fallback to earlier in the book when Magnus says (I'm just gonna write the dialogue from memory), "I've dated men, women, warlocks, faeries, vampires, werewolves and even a djinn or two." Here, Alec is angry, and he takes the knowledge that Magnus has dated a variety of people and once again, lashes out.

Looking at all of it together, Alec’s insecurities are definitely a factor in all of this. We know Alec has pretty low self esteem in tmi, and he keeps having irrational thoughts about someone else grabbing Magnus’s attention, like in the trsom scene I've posted above. And he ends up taking out his insecurities on Magnus.

Was it wrong of Alec to say all those things to Magnus? Yes, absolutely. But looking back through all his scenes in cofa, it's easy to see how he could've fallen into the pit trap of emotions.

And before anyone says "but it wasn't addressed in the later books", it was, in CoLS. I’ve hit the image limit, so I'm just gonna type it out -

"[Magnus] said it would be better if he didn’t come. Apparently him and the Seelie Queen have some kind of history."

Isabelle raised her eyebrows.

"Not that kind of history," Alec said irritably. "Some kind of feud. Though," he added, half under his breath, "the way he got around before me, I wouldn't be surprised."

"Alec!" Isabelle dropped back to talk to her brother....

So, there. Alec makes yet another slutshaming comment, Isabelle overhears and is clearly not happy about it, and it's clearly implied that she talks to Alec about it. And Alec doesn't make any more slutshaming comments since then. Boy now knows what he did was wrong, and makes sure not to repeat it again.

Although, I do wish we had more than this. I wish we had more of Magnus and Alec talking about this argument, heck, even about all their arguments and the reasons they broke up, but you can't get everything you want, apparently :(

And now onto the next part...

PART 2 - IS ALEC BIPHOBIC?

The short answer, uh, no, not really.

The long answer.... would be complicated.

So, back in the day, when this discourse was at an all time high, I remember reading a bisexual person's essay about this topic, and they said that this comment from Alec - "or there are plenty of pretty girls here, since apparently your taste goes both ways. Is there anything you aren't into?" - would be a biphobic microagression.

According to Google, a microagression is "a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority".

And in Alec's case, IF his words were biphobic, they were completely unintentional. They were microagressive. Which is... still bad, of course, but it's more complicated than that.

If you look back on Alec's supposedly biphobic statements, they're more about Magnus’s hypersexuality and promiscuity than anything else. Yes, even the line i mentioned like two paragraphs ago. At first glance it may seem like a direct attack on Magnus’s sexuality, but think over the explanation I gave for the line and it will make sense. And a lot of people know that the whole 'bi people fuck around a lot and are cheaters' thing is a stereotype.

Now, it may seem like I'm going off topic here, but bear with me. I couple of days ago, I watched this video by chance. (Tw for the aids crisis and lots of biphobia, not from the narrator, if you wanna watch the video). Basically, back in the 1980s, bisexual men were scapegoated for spreading aids to the straight community and were vilified by popular media as being promiscuous scepters who would cheat on their wives with gay men and then give aids to their wives. (Yikes 😬). And since bisexuality was practically unheard of before all this (several bisexual activists have stated that all this shit, though unfortunate, pulled bisexuality out of the closet), it's safe to assume that this is how those stereotypes came to be - through 1980s propaganda.

But living with this propaganda is... a very limiting experience. The people who leaned and unlearned and fought against this propaganda are mostly US Americans who grew up with it, either the actual propaganda itself or passed down by their parents. But like I said, it's a very limiting experience. US is but one country out of many, and even for those living in the USA there's a chance that they grew up in a very hush-hush environment. People who grew up hearing all these stereotypes will see it as biphobia, while people who didn't - like Alec, and me, and several other people will not. A lot of people grow up with absolutely no knowledge of the queer community, and chances are that they'll be incredibly confused when a stereotype is pointed out to them, and they often get no more explanation than 'this is a harmful stereotype'. Queer experiences aren't the same for everyone, and while I respect the people who see this as biphobia, they should recognize that there are many people who won't see it that way.

I have seen bisexual people say that Alec's words were biphobic, and I've also seen bisexual people say that they weren't. Thus, there is no clear consensus about whether or not Alec was being biphobic. And like I said earlier, Alec grew up far, far away from mundane anti-queer bigotry. He was essentially a clean slate when it came to knowledge of eer microagressions of any kind, because microagressions and stereotypes are often incredibly specific, don't have anything to do with a person's race/sexuality/gender, etc. and will make zero sense unless you know the history behind them. To Magnus, who lived through the anti-bisexual scapegoating, the words would've definitely stung, but Alec didn't even know the implications he would be making with this words! Of course, the impact is greater than intention, and I imagine Magnus would sit Alec down one day and talk about all this history with him.

And idk if I can even blame cc cause the history of bisexual men is RARELY ever talked about, atleast on the internet.

Also, this scene in cofa is the only instance where he can be interpreted to be biphobic. Nowhere else in all of tmi, and even tec, do we see Alec express hatred or disgust or microagression towards bisexual people. If this was seen in a repeating pattern from Alec, one could argue that he's biphobic... but he isn't. Some might point to some of his internal thoughts in trsom to argue otherwise, but I believe that actions are superior than thoughts.

There's also the thing about unlearning prejudices, but in Alec's case there was hardly anything to be unlearned. The only prejudices he did pick up on were against himself, through vague homophobic comments from Robert.

P.S if you've read this far, I am legally entitled to compensation for thinking of cofa Alec for 48 hours. Put your favorite Alec moments in my askbox cause I wanna focus on his good side now. 😎

But yeah, the main thing here is that Alec has grown from his mistakes, apologized, and hasn't repeated this behavior at all.

And lastly, I just wanted to add - I don't think all this was unintentional on the author's part. She's grown up with the us American queer community, and has mentioned that she has bisexual friends, who have no doubt faced prejudices because of these stereotypes. I think she was trying to condemn making such statements, but a lot of people don't read between the lines and end up misinterpreting it and make both the character and her to be biphobic.

So... TLDR; was what Alec said biphobic? Maybe. It depends on who you're talking to. Is Alec, as a person, biphobic? Nope. Not at all. 😌

Nothing Like You

Summary: Sam’s usually not the pining kind. He’s put his feelings for you aside some time ago. A chance encounter brings everything back, but this time things are different and Sam is done pretending.

Created for: @princessmisery666​ ‘s Daily Mix Challenge

Prompt: ‘Nothing Like This’ by Blonde and Craig David

Pairing: Sam x Reader

Warnings: Sam is smitten, bad humor on my part

Word count: 1.5K

A/N: Stacey, you absolutely wonderful darling of an angel, thank you for being you. As promised, here’s my entry for your challenge. Hope you like it <3

|| JJ’s Masterlist || Tip me <3

(gif)

Sam hadn’t seen you since that hunt in Mississippi. The one where he almost kissed you. Dean had ripped him a new one when they were back in Baby, on their way home to the bunker. He had seen the look in Sam’s eyes whenever they were focused on you and Dean knew his little brother well enough to recognize what it had meant. It was the first time in a while they had met a new pair of hunters they worked well with. Seeing as they always had a new fight ahead of them, it would be nice to be able to continue calling the couple their allies. However, as Dean had told Sam that night in the car, staying on good terms with their new acquaintances wouldn’t be an option anymore if the guy caught Sam drooling over his girlfriend.

It hadn’t been like Sam at all to fall for someone so fast and so hard. Out of him and his brother, he was usually better at keeping things professional whenever needed. And with you already being in a relationship, this had definitely been the case. Yet, there was something about you, something about the way you made him feel, that had convinced him the two of you were meant to be more than just friends. But that was then, and despite his silent hoping, you hadn’t crossed paths since.

Until he found himself back in Mississippi and back in your presence. Sam wasn’t quite sure what it was about the southern state and running into you, but he wasn’t complaining.

A haunting at a mansion had brought you both to the same city. You’d both shown up to the crime scene where the victim was lying in a pool of her own blood - not exactly the kind of setting in which Sam had hoped he would see you again.

The victim left behind a distraught husband and two children, who had all said they’d noticed some cold spots but hadn’t seen anything strange. The family’s staff hadn’t been able to help you out either. Though, they did mention something that was of interest to the two faux FBI-agents: one of the staff members had unexpectedly quit earlier that day.

After having asked around a bit, they found out the best way to get a hold of their possible witness was to visit him at the nightclub he frequented on the weekends. 

“We should probably make sure we blend in a little more before we head into a place like that,” you had suggested while heading back to your respective cars. 

“I’d do anything you say,” Sam had kept to himself while he watched you drive off to your motel.

Another thing he hadn’t mentioned was the lack of backup you had shown up with. For just a second, he had allowed himself to think maybe you weren’t with Rowan anymore. But he knew there were plenty of reasons why the other hunter hadn’t joined you on this simple hunt. After all, Dean hadn’t come with Sam on this one either, simply because he had been called elsewhere. The same could just as easily have been true for your boyfriend.

Inside the club, it was even louder than Sam had expected when the two of you entered. Music was blasting from every direction and people were talking loudly while moving along on the dancefloor to the beat. Sam had changed out of his fed suit and into some worn out jeans and a gray shirt. He hadn’t exactly been sure what you had meant by ‘blending in’ to a place like this, since this kind of scene had never been his thing.

Luckily, you hadn’t gone all out, either. Unluckily, you didn’t have to do much to drive Sam crazy. Your pantsuit had been traded in for a playful light blue dress that hung loosely around your frame, reaching just above your knees. Your hair was down for a change, only a few strands being pinned up and secured at the back of your head. With your line of work, you always had your hair tied where it couldn’t get in the way. Sam had never seen your locks catch in the wind like they’d done outside before they entered the nightclub. He’d been unaware he had been staring until you put a hand on his shoulder and asked him if he was ready to head inside.

How he’d made it inside and onto the dancefloor with you, he couldn’t quite remember. But somehow he had ended up in front of you, surrounded by a bunch of people moving in ways that might’ve even made Dean blush.

“Sam,” you called over the music. “Sam, hey!” Your hand was waving in front of his face and eventually he managed to focus his eyes back on yours. “You’re all stiff!” you said, laughing.

Sam’s eyes grew wide with panic and his head shot down so fast it should’ve given him whiplash. His face burned red as he looked down at his crotch but nothing seemed to be going on down there. In front of him, your laughing became louder.

Your hand reached for his chin to push his head back up and make him look at you. “I meant your dancing,” you said, clearly trying to suppress another fit of laughter. “Loosen up a bit, we’re trying to look like we’re supposed to be here, remember?”

Sam’s cheeks burned an even brighter red as he felt your hand fall from his face and move to his arm, sliding all the way down until you could wrap your hand around his. You grabbed his other hand as well, and when Sam realized you were trying to pull his body into motion, he did his best to attempt something that might have been viewed by some people as dancing. If those people were squinting, from a couple miles away, and it was completely dark.

You laughed again and Sam almost wanted to just keep embarrassing himself so he could keep hearing that wonderful sound. No doubt people around you were watching him struggle, too. But all he could focus on was you, that was all that mattered to him in that moment.

Undoubtedly realizing your attempts weren’t doing much so far, you changed tactics by placing your hands on his waist and moving closer to him. You beckoned him to lean in and Sam dipped his head so he could hear you better.

“Try to relax,” you instructed him with that sweet voice of yours. “Just follow my lead.”

With that, your body started moving and Sam wouldn’t have been able to resist moving along with you if he had wanted to. Which he definitely, one hundred percent, did not.

Your bodies moved in sync, perfectly fitting against each other as the music blasted on in the background. Everything around you faded away until it was just him and you. Sam let you guide him effortlessly and tried to loosen up like you told him.

He couldn’t keep his eyes off you. You made him feel a certain way, a way he hadn’t experienced before. It was killing him not to act on it. The way you were moving against him wasn’t helping much, either.

“Where’d you learn to move like…” Sam’s voice trailed off as he looked at you, his eyes darkening, “...this.”

You grinned at him, causing his heart to be flung right out of his chest. “We all have our ways to blow off steam,” you explained, moving your lips closer to his ear so you wouldn’t have to speak as loud. “I used to go out like this a lot when I first started hunting.”

“With your boyfriend?”

“Ex-boyfriend.” You barely missed a beat.

The simple word could have just been plain information, a life-update to a friend who hadn’t caught up yet. But there was this look in your eyes that told Sam you meant something different by telling him.

After all this wondering, and thinking ‘what if’, Sam wasn’t sure if he should act so fast. Then he saw you raise an eyebrow, and your bottom lip was sucked between your teeth as you looked straight into his eyes.

All the doubt that had forced him to hold back was thrown out the window in a single motion. He finally let go and his large hands grabbed your ass to pull you even closer against him. Your hands moved to his neck and in an instant, your lips were on his. He kissed you hungrily, music drowning out even further into the background. All Sam could hear was the pounding in his ears and the sweet sounds you made when his teeth tugged at your bottom lip.

Let me know if you want to be added to any of my taglists!

Station19 : 6x02 : Are station19 ok ?

The obvious theme on this episode and the last one is clearly Maya and Jack the two messed up people of this station. But are They ?

TW : mention of sexual assault  Because believe me when i say, Vic is next into spiraling out of control. She being all “ oh Carina married Maya without knowing that she’s a blackmailler” bitch  shut up, you’re next. You know what Karma is ? watch it. , jesus, Vic honey why are you opening up your mouth ? why ? she hide her pregnancy, she spend her time lying and being oblivious and she open her mouth gossiping ? why ? just shut up. That all i have to say. Beside the fact that she is insecure and selfish too. Wanna talk about the time you didn’t care about Theo’s feeling? Your body, your choice, won’t argue it, won’t dispute it, it’s you’re right. When theo talk to her, she didn’t care. And basically theo said “ i cried, because i was hurt you ignore me and left me out”. But Vic espect the other shoe to drop, but why ? Is it because you know that you left him out of you decision ? again your body your choice but at least talk to your patner, say “ listen i don’t want a child right now, maybe  later,  but for now i’m not ready, can you accept that?”  

Travis is being out there stating over and over again the same thing while his station encourages him while ignoring what he is saying. Jesus. Travis have always said he want to run for mayor to steal vote from dickson, great name for a great pun. He never said he wanted to be mayor, he said i want to run for mayor so dickson can’t be, can be any other person. 

Amusing how Ross use it and the firefighter names to provoke dickson. Jack is just out of control but he has being for a while, for those who missed it, rewatched it will be obvious. dude learn he is a bother an uncle, wanted to rekindle with his foster sibling but failed miserably, understandably i must say, being in the foster system is never kind, he literally admit that he was sexually abused so.. there’s that,  Carina was abuse mentaly and sexually because it was the theme of the day. Sorry but at this point if Maya goes to a therapist and say that her father abused her more than physically i will not be surprise, she start to spiraled after Andy’s attacked, so there���s that.  Beside Carina trying for a child which doesn’t help that Maya is going out of hand and hurting. She’s scared, hurt, fells like being rejected, inside and out, literally. So yeah she’s hurting and still in control somewhat. Watch out for Italian women they are strong. I think that she’s hurt that, her wife doesn’t trust her enough to tell her something as important as the backmailled, but more importantly, why Maya wants to be captain. For her it’s because Maya  have a goal that she have to obtain. But : Something Carina doesn’t get or at least don’t understand, Maya have choose her. Yeah she reverted back to her old self, but Maya have made Carina her priority. Her captaincy is because being a person or people pleaser isn’t easy to get ride off. But Maya did choose her, She doesn’t care if she’s promoted back to probe as long as it’s fair. Her demotion isn’t fair. Her watching sullivan and beckett being at each other throat for the post is just ridiculous at this point. Yeah beckett is sober, allegedly, but how can we know ? Andy did most of the work as much as captain and as a lieutenant. Maya at this point barely care about her job, she cares that she his helping and that her wife is happy, and now ? none of that works. She’s demoted for unfairly reason, she pointed out the obvious ( do we need to talk about the time she call Diane for help for the death of George Floyd because she didn’t know how to help and clearly her team was affected or are we going to ignore that?) She see her team, but right now she can’t see them because the team is a wreck, the team is messed up, all because, she decided that saving a life was more important than a lawsuit, that they would win btw. She was saving a life, like a doctor would do. Like a fucking firefighter is supposed to do. Anyway. She prioritize a life over paper. At what point did fighting fire and being a paramedic come over paper ? i don’t know, ask Travis. He would know either anyway. She did nothing wrong, but she is punish, and right now she is pushed back into her childhood where her father would treat her unfairly and smash a boll into the wall because she help someone in needs. Ring a bell ? If not, re watch. Pretty sure you’ll see it. Someone point out that Maya isn’t that bad, and that her treatment is more or less unfair. She help a life, and got blame for it, she was so aware that she saw what no one else saw, and Ross as long as sullivan deny it, and beckett who was drunk during work, brought out by sullivan got away with it with nothing. Sullivan, beckatt and at this point Ross is in the wrong and they still think they are right.  That communication. And Fuck these people need to talk. Bring Back Diane for the love of god because those people are so not okay.

With everything happening to Israel, I hope you’re ok

thank you :D i’m fortunately mostly safe from what’s happening. i only had a siren once and heard the booms only several times and i don’t live near the areas where the riots and lynches are happening.

here is my rant about the situation

sadly, though, i do have to read a lot of posts from ignorant people who clearly haven’t done any research into the situation (i.e. don’t live in it, didn’t watch the israeli news, or plain just believes whatever pallywood posts). i don’t have much influence sadly but i have to make things clear to people who might be confused - the situation began because of people unbelieving that they live in a society and do, in fact, have to act like it. it started in six houses where the residents were evicted because they weren’t paying rent for decades despite the agreements and somehow they turned it into a international thing. then rioters were throwing rocks from the mosque and running into it when the soldiers came and were like ‘how dare they go into a holy place’ while they cowardly threw rocks from a mosque* on ramadaan like, wow, talk about desecrating a holy place. 

and ofc the whole hamas shooting thousands of rockets into israel, with a third of its rockets landing in gaza killing many gazans. idf attacking high profile hamas operators and warning citizens of the buildings they were going to bomb because what a surprise, hamas hides behind its citizens and then blames it on israel. we literally have a history of giving medical treatment to gazans, i don’t know how else to tell people that we give a crap. because we could have literally erased gaza from the earth. also the reason they dont have electricity? one of the rockets hit the power line. karma is a bitch but sadly it harms the citizens more than the actual bastards in hamas. btw, those rockets? those tunnels that they built to get into israel? all those villas to the leaders? where do you think the money came from? they came from all the money that was given for the citizens. the citizens saw none of it.

also, anyone calling gaza an open air prison is an idiot who never opened an atlas because they think all gaza’s borders are in israel.

well, boo boo, wrong! its southern border is with *drums roll* egypt. which, btw, actually blocks the border from anything. so, like, once again, israel gets the heat for being pushovers, great.

we had sadly jews attacking and lynching on arabs and that something that should never have happened and i’ll never be happy that those things happened. but it didn’t happen in a bubble. it wasn’t also the only kind of attacks that happened. arabs attacking and lynching on cars, on people. they burned down synagogues! they burned down holy places with torah scrolls that were destroyed and the pictures literally look like the  Kristallnacht in 1938. one time, an arab saw it happening and managed to save the torah scrolls and omg, what an amazing guy. but still, so many holy scriptures were burnt and destroyed. the images are horrifying and i’m crying by just remembering. because israel is supposed to be the place jews would feel safe finally. we were supposed to be safe from progroms, from lynching, from our holy places being treated like firewood.

you have the right extremities attacking arabs, and you have jews unable to decide if they should stay at their homes during a siren and risk being hit by a rocket or brave the mamad (bunker) with their arab neighbors that are suddenly hostile to the point of attacking.

israel was never perfect. we have so much to improve and racism is still an issue. but also remember that we are less than 75 years old. it took the usa over 200 years to even begin to deal with its racism. we had to deal with so many wars just to exist and we don’t have the benefit of the sea as a barrier. you can literally drive down south and suddenly find yourself in jordan.

but the fact that the world immediately decided that we’re the bad guys no matter how much we strive to do good and for peace despite everyone wanting us gone (not in a different state, gone. dead. in the goddamn sea.).

the world is treating the palestinians like little babies who can do no harm. i hate to break it to them, but they can and did do a whole lot of harm. a lot of israeli arabs have helped israeli jews in so many cases in the past and present. a lot of medical professionals are arabs. they came to help after the tragedy in meron mountain. a lot of amazing stories of them being kind and true brethren. a lot of stories of co-existing. but they were literally crumbled down to nothing when suddenly the mixed cities began exploding with lynches and attacks and just pure terror. bedouins blocking one of the main roads to be’er sheba. electricity boxes being destroyed, leaving many people (mainly israeli jews) without it and no batteries or internet

i’m ranting now because if i have to read another post crying over palestinians children being harmed and then sneering at israeli people for existing and wishing for their deaths, i will literally go to them to shoot their legs myself (don’t know how, but i will) because children are already showing signs of extreme ptsd, of anxiety. the south (especially the area around the border with gaza) had been dealing with constant rockets for 20 years. children grow up so traumatized they can’t be soldiers because the sound of a gun going off sends them into a panic attack.

like, the usa is asking israel and hamas to have a cease fire, but it keeps basically looking at israel to back down and i’m so in the mood to say ‘no. i say, get the citizens out and just raze the place down’ even if it’s impossible to actively do. i’m done with sjw thinking they’re so woke and amazing for supporting the palestinians while they’re actually supporting the destruction of israel over all and the jews in particular.

because guess what? antisemitism have never been more in fashion.

(i’m sorry for going off on an adorable anon wanting to see me safe, but thank you for letting me go off like that. i needed to rant. also, anyone spreading hate should be ashamed)

p.s. anyone wanting to rant about apartheid or occupied territory, go open a dictionary or a history book on what actual apartheid is and then go check the archeological evidence of jews having occupied the land of israel before islam was a thing and even before christianity was a thing. especially how the dome of the rock was built on the temple mount. on top of what used to be the holy temples for the jews. you also always had jews living in israel in small numbers. we were never truly gone from the land of israel.

p.s.s. a good video i found that summarizes mostly well is ‘geography now-israel’. it’s not perfect but it gets the point across.

(ive written to u before months ago) ppl who send hateful messages are insane honestly. i lost my sister nine months ago and last night somebody on here messaged me that even when she was alive i was fishing for attention complaining and venting ON MY OWN TRAUMA AND VENT BLOG about things and being depressed so 'what's different now? you got what you wanted lol a reason to bitch and feel special and traumatized your whole life' and i want to die so badly i dont know how people can be so cruel chloe i normally pretend it doesnt affect me but hate messages do affect everybody and this has been fucking me up so badly.

omg what the fuck?? people are literally out of their fucking minds!! no sense of empathy or boundaries or just basic common decency at all!! i am so so sorry you've had to deal w this on top of everything else. first of all you can talk about whatever YOU want on YOUR blog and second of all being open about grief is not 'looking for attention' (which btw needing attention esp in sadness is a basic human craving so they really had no point at all) and third of all theyre the ones who r looking for a reaction and can only get it by antagonizing ppl on anon. it is ENTIRELY and i mean ENTIRELY a reflection of them, not of you. that is so sick that they would say smth like that to you like?? literally inhumane god im raging. it's completely understandable that its fucked you up, you're allowed to be upset and to be hurt. and it's possible to feel that way while also acknowledging that the pain/shock is not a permanent state of being and you will move forward from it with time. tbh sending hate on anon means they've already got no ground. the person cant even say it with their whole chest and they have to hide their identity to even get the words out. it's like going up to someone on the street and saying smth cruel as fuck to them while covering ur own face -- it's laughable. but it is also extremely hard to deal with esp when ur already in a bad place and i totally get that. please know that u have every right to talk about your feelings in your own online space esp when u made the blog for that reason!! the fact that they think ur sibling passing away is just 'a reason for you to feel traumatized' and not a legit source of trauma and genuine pain ????? clearly shows they have literally NO idea what they're talking about. at all. they have major issues and that is never going to be your fault or your problem. utilize the fuck out of the block button and turn off anon if needed!! you dont owe anyone esp ppl like that ur time. i am so so sorry for your loss and for this situation in general. all mourning is unique but i do understand to an extent and i am just so so sorry, i wouldn't wish this on anyone. i am keeping you and your sibling in my heart. sending u so much love, please take care. and know my inbox is open any time. ur not in this alone x

questions about countermeasures you say?? feel free to ignore anything you don't want to address btw!! idk if this is what you're looking for/helpful but! hin ch 7 fives admits to himself that he loves her but iirc we haven't heard the same from renna -- how does renna feel about how quickly she and fives and formed this bond? have either of them allowed themselves to wonder what might happen if things work out (or are they both, rightfully, anxious and terrified lol)? okay and lastly i promise, what's kix thinking?? we don't see much of him in the original episode and now that fives is talking about a LADY, what's going on in that man's head??

ANYWAY super excited for this last chapter, love this series and i'm desperate to know how you're going to finish it :) xx

!!!!! hiiii

I need to reread it all tbh because I forgot wtf happens ok soooo (putting it under the cut for spoilers if someone wants to read who hasn’t yet read) I hope you can understand my jumbled thoughts fffffff

Renna's surprised that she fell for a clone so quickly - which I think(?) she mentions in her thoughts quite a few times throughout it all - but honestly, she recognized right from the get-go that Fives was different, and them getting closer only solidified her feelings for him. Those feelings went from purely physical to emotional in the matter of days, and I would say that she's scared of her love for him because she has a gut feeling that everything will just not be ok in the end, especially after that worrying & vague post-sex conversation they had in ch 6. Ch 7 is the only chapter we really get Fives' take on what's going on and it made me super sad with every word I typed and he’s already extremely desperate to find a trustworthy person for him to speak to who’ll make sure she’s safe after it’s all said and done (and, you know, to try to stop the murder of all Jedi at the hands of his own kind. two birds one stone type of thing). at the end of ch 6, Fives is fully aware that he’s just not in the right state of mind because of that long-neck BITCH and lets just say the effects of that drug were paused for the moment while he and Ren went to pound town. I could pin that down to “love overcomes all” type of shit, idk. It’s all in the moment and truthfully - it’s a goodbye fuck (that happens also to be “making love” in Fives’ eyes, and Renna will come to see it as the same way). They both feel it, but neither of them wanna say it’s so in the moment and even after. He doesn’t have a chance to think about life after it’s all over, because in his mind, it doesn’t end well for him - so he’s doing everything in his power to get the message out to the right people before it’s too late. Fives has no clue what will happen to him after meeting with Rex and Anakin, because he’s just not thinking clearly nor that far. Renna, on the other hand, has a brief moment of “well what will happen with us” at the start of ch 6 (if I remember correctly) and goes over the small possibility of having a life together, but doesn’t go into too much thought about it. Seems like I gotta include that in the final chapter ;) She for sure isn’t going back to what she was doing before, since it all pretty much got derailed - but I do plan on digging into her future in this final chapter.

So, canonically speaking, I think we all pretty much know what happens with Kix because of what Fives tells him at 79′s. You know, the being frozen in cryo for 50 or so years after his capture by Dooku’s agents because of his sniffing around the chips

I WILL say that someone who Renna was not expecting to see ends up showing up at her front door in the final chapter ooooooooo

I already know what the very last line of the series is gonna, be but it’s a secret :’))) maybe I’ll post a teaser of the chapter when I feel good enough about how it’s coming!  idk if you want me to add you in the tags for the series buttttt

But thank you for picking my brain - I seriously need to reread the series. It’s hard to read things from months ago, because I cringe at some aspects of my style and certain verbiage I used (not just this series, but all of my first works), but I’m learning that it’s fineeee to go back and just take it in. Whatever my earlier works are, they’ve been posted and there’s no gong back ahaha

firewolf1117 refuckingceipts (it's all been removed now but people archived it)

this bitch:

When you say “All Cops are”, here’s what you’re really saying:

All Blacks are Criminals All Mexicans are Illegal All Americans are stupid, fat, and lazy All Rape Victims are liars All Suicide Posters are Attention Seekers All Muslims are Terrorists All LGBT deserve to die

Are you outraged yet? GOOD.It means I touched a nerve.

You would never, ever, EVER say those things about those groups of people because you KNOW that it’s not true, even in the slightest. There are so very very FEW Cops who are actually corrupt and using their power and position inappropriately.

So what gives you the right to say the same about cops? COPS! Who are practically SOLDIERS! EVERY DAY their family lives with the fear that they won’t return. EVERY DAY they put their lives in danger to PROTECT you! They, as a whole, deserve your RESPECT!!! MOST ALL “Brutality” cases are from the CRIMINAL fighting, disrespecting, grabbing a weapon, etc. If you’d just COOPERATE AND BE RESPECTFUL you’d be treated FAIRLY!! Cops don’t have the time to sort things out. Their snap second decisions PROTECT them AND nearby Civilians. You can’t possibly understand the FEAR AND TERROR they hold EVERY SECOND of EVERY DAY! So don’t you DARE judge them for mistakes.

and here’s the response of one brave user, this legend, this badass mofo, who replied to their bullshittery and got banned for a day for posting in the whiny crybaby bitch’s journal without permission:

Replying to this, because FireWolf1117 is intentionally spreading misinformation and hate. I don’t care if the staff is going to tell me off for this — for once, I care a little more about setting this right than following the Journal rule.

First of all, United States cops are legally not required to save civilians. It’s not considered unconstitutional, according to the case Warren v. District of Columbia (444 A.2d. 1, D.C. Ct. of Ap. 1981). To keep it short, cops can literally see crimes being committed and decide not to intervene if they feel like it. This has been quite common among police departments if you (objectively) compare the police’s actions during BLM protests and anti-lockdown protests.

Anyways, let’s get to your generalizing logic. I have to agree with you on one thing: generalizing is bad. No group should be generalized because of some rotten apples. However, this doesn’t count for cops. Here’s why not:

The police force isn’t a marginalized group. A police officer is a profession. A job. Cops are public servants. They work for the state, for the civilians. And that’s why they need to be held accountable for any misconduct they commit. Which is, unfortunately, is objectively not the case. According to statistics from https://mappingpoliceviolence.org, 99% of United States cops who have killed citizens have not been criminally charged, because police departments literally protect officers from getting tried. Of the 750+ shootings done by police this year, only four cops are getting tried. So much for “there are only a few corrupt ones”. Black people are also way less likely to carry a weapon compared to White people, while Black people get shot by cops thrice as likely.

What’s more, because the police force is a profession, people can quit being a police officer. This doesn’t count for most of the groups you mentioned: Black people can’t stop being Black, Mexican people can’t stop being Mexican, Americans can’t stop being American (also you including Americans kinda makes you look embarrassing lol no offense), rape victims can’t be ‘unraped’, Muslims (or even just Arabs in general) can’t stop being perceived as Muslims (even Sikhs get seen as Muslims nowadays…) and LGBTI+ people can’t stop being LGBTI+ (unless they discover they’re not). Police officers can literally take their uniform off and be perceived as normal human beings. As soon as they are on duty and take on their uniform, a huge responsibility awaits them. A responsibility that has been abused by them to the point that marginalized people will hesitate before calling the police, fearing that the police will either come too late or escalate the situation. Cops aren’t endangering their own lives. They’re endangering the lives of those they’re supposed to protect. No good person would shoot a man in his back SEVEN times for being 'aggressive’. No good person who claims to protect and serve would kneel on someone’s neck for eight minutes while that person was cooperating with them. No good person would shoot a completely innocent woman in her sleep because they raided the wrong house. (BTW, Breonna Taylor’s murderers are still walking free as if nothing happened.) No good person would shoot a 12-year-old kid for having a toy gun. No good person would kill a man in his car for… picking up his ID to show it to the cop. Just because you cooperate, doesn’t mean that you’re safe.

Your logic is clearly flawed, because you judge cops on their personality, and not on the bigger picture. All cops are “bastards” not because we see all of them are evil killing machines that shoot people on sight — it’s because they contribute to an oppressive system, whether it’s directly or indirectly. It’s more than 'just a few cops’: the government wants bad laws to be enforced, the prison system is getting used as a business model, minorities are forced to live in poor socioeconomic areas on purpose BY the government, gentrification exists, multi billionnaires are exploiting low-class working people even more, there’s a damn pandemic that’s not being taken seriously… And guess who’s at the front of keeping the fragile capitalist system intact? Right. The police. The face of the government, that’s laughing at Black people, people of color, disabled people, LGBTI+ people… No good cop exists, even if they’re nice to everyone. Good cops who speak out against the abuse of other cops get fired, because the police departments don’t want the truth to be exposed. If you truly want to be someone who saves people’s lives, then stop being a cop and get a better job, like a firefighter, an EMT, a psychologist… Anything that isn’t completely corrupted.

Even during the recent BLM protests, cops are showing off their power. They escalate situations without provocation more times than BLM protesters start shit. Also cops are committing literal war crimes by using tear gas and other chemicals against civilians (IT GOES AGAINST THE GENEVA CONVENTION FOR FUCK’S SAKE). Not so protective now, aren’t they? The only thing BLM protesters have hurt are cops’ ego. Trust me, protesters being a little mean to cops won’t ever be as bad as all the innocent lives cops have taken and covered up.

I want to go on forever, because I have a lot more to say (such as why “All Lives Matter” is reactionary and racist, how the police force was formed in the first place, how the effects of slavery and colonialism are still being felt by Black people to this day, how and why 'riots’ can be 'justified’), but I’ll leave it at this. At least I got to give counterarguments to your points. Take care and educate yourself! (Tip: stop watching FOX News and Infowars if you do that, you’re going to develop brainrot! ;__;)

ladies and gentleman of the jury, as you can see, this user not only came into this argument prepared, but they were civil and had links (that aren’t links now oop soz). they gave this bitch plenty of opportunity to learn and grow from this without attacking her.

but your bet your ASS the poor little white girl went crying to her daddy about people ATTACKING HER and BULLYING HER FOR HER OPINIONS!!!! she uses her anxiety as a get out of jail free card CONSTANTLY, bitching and moaning about how, and these are directly quoting from HER own journal:

MAY 29, 2020

I log in to this game to have fun and escape the stresses and problems of real life. I do NOT want to be going about my business, and see “BLM” in someone’s Trainer Card, and have to deal with a surge of overwhelming emotions (whether positive or negative). I simply cannot handle the Anxiety that results.

This is a GAME site. NOT a place to share your political, racial or other stances. PLEASE keep ALL such topics OFF this site. I understand you want to talk about them, and that’s fine. But out of respect for people like me, can you please do so in private with the people you know WANT to see and discuss it?

just admit you’re racist dude.

She uses CSS. SHE CAN FUCKING HIDE OTHER PEOPLE’S FUCKING CARDS. PEOPLE CAN TALK ABOUT WHATEVER THEY DAMN WELL PLEASE ON THEIR OWN DAMN PAGES. THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.

Also! You know she only put “whether positive or negative” to quell any hate she might’ve gotten because ANXIETY is usually not a positive emotion. There’s not even a positive CONNOTATION. and she hopes to be published by the end of the year lmfao yeah right.

and then, on JUNE 16, 2020:

I WAS going to make a post in response to the most recent announcement, but now I’m just too frazzled and upset about it. Still making a post. I’ll just be posting it off site so I can say things how I want to say them, and so I don’t have any in game repercussions.

Honestly, though. I log onto this site to ESCAPE reality. I do NOT want to see ANY stance on ANY “cause” ANYWHERE. NONE OF IT BELONGS HERE. NONE!!!! Because of this “decision”, I’m going to make one of my own. I am gone from this site until current affairs are resolved. Heck. Perhaps even after. I will NOT be a part of a site that allows…Ugh. NOT going to get into this here.

but like… she came back a month later lmao

OH AND!! Earlier this month on AUGUST 6, 2020 she posted this!

It really breaks my heart seeing derogatory remarks against Cops in people’s Trainer Cards. It’s upsetting that you feel that way, and even more so that you make your hatred so vehemently known.

Personally, I don’t know why any of those Cop comments are allowed. If someone had something in their Trainer Card against Religion, LGBT, or POC, I guarantee that statement would be removed. So why is it alright for people to make hateful, vile, disgusting remarks against Cops? Despite it being someone’s personal opinion, it’s still Hate Speech, and shouldn’t be allowed.

this bitch is part of the lgbt+ community. she’s part of a marginalized group.

The “"derogatory remarks”“ she’s talking about? #AllCopsAreComplicit #CopsStinky #AllCopsSuck

which brings us back to Exhibit A, ladies and gentlemen! Her equating #AllCopsAreComplicit and #CopsSTINKY to "All LGBT deserve to die” and a Shitton of other stereotypes. Well fucking done.

Despite bitching and moaning about I DONT WANNA SEE ANYTHING, despite there being ways she can fucking hide it HER DAMN SELF she chooses instead to bitch piss moan bitch piss moan bitch piss and fucking moan and then when someone calls her out on her genuinely harmful bullshit, pulls the wounded gazelle gambit, claims she’s being attacked, and puts in her Card that “anxiety attack! again! waaaah!” like anyone has a shred of sympathy left for her ugly ass. She can’t handle looking like the bad guy so she plays the anxiety card. She bitches about never having any friends, only depression and anxiety, and it’s like bitch no fucking wonder.

Both the top posts have been taken down, but the user who responded to her has gotten nothing but love for her mad courage in saying something when no one else dared.

Firefurrywolf made a halfassed apology (August 30, 2020) which I won’t go into but there is one line that sticks out to me because it’s such a goddamn lie:

When I state my opinion, I usually do so with grace and eloquence. I did not think about my actions this time.

… do you?

This is a GAME site. NOT a place to share your political, racial or other stances. PLEASE keep ALL such topics OFF this site.

Do you… really?

I log onto this site to ESCAPE reality. I do NOT want to see ANY stance on ANY “cause” ANYWHERE. NONE OF IT BELONGS HERE. NONE!!!!

I don’t think so. You vile, disgusting, manipulative, obnoxious, PRETENTIOUS, racist, terfy bitch.

Oh, before I forget, yeah. Terf. She looks like one too. All over her insta. Gross.

NOVEMBER 19, 2019

My response to a LGBT post in one of my writing groups.

I don’t know most of these terms within the community. Don’t really care to know either, cause your preferences won’t change my feelings about who you are. I probably should, though, cause the Its and Xes really confuse me.

I knew I was a Demi-Ace for a few years. I’ve also known that I was Poly since I was early teens. But I’m also attracted to beauty and care more about who you are as a person than your preferences, so apparently I’m Panaesthetic as well?

Also firm believer of “True Love Knows NO Bounds”

Her journal got moved to 18+ because there was a post talking about sex. Might’ve even been alluding to rape. On a CHILDREN’S SITE. In her CHILD-FRIENDLY journal. It sat there for at least two months. TWO MONTHS. But I will not be posting that here, but it’s still there if anyone wants to snoop. All of this is public. Well, it was. But at least minors won’t be exposed to this histrionic little whiny whitey who is absolutely drowning in her white privilege.

Just because she changed her pfp from her face to a shitty drawing she did doesn’t hide the fact that she’s white, and the worst kind of person with little to no actual coping skills.

She claims to be an artist, a writer, all this, blah blah, but then why doesn’t she channel any of it into her work so she can get fucking better at them? She says she’s working on losing weight, so do that. Instead of shrieking and stomping your fucking feet like a toddler at the peak of their terrible two’s, throwing tantrum after fucking tantrum on a CHILDREN’S SITE about your shitty stances, go for a fucking walk. Punch a fucking punching bag. Literally anything else. You’ll feel better, you’ll lose weight faster, you’d be keeping your vitriol to your damn self and no one will “attack” you.

“Are you ourtraged yet? GOOD. It means I touched a nerve!”

She fucking wanted a reaction. But couldn’t handle it when she actually got one. I’m so embarrassed. Grow some fucking thicker skin, you’re older than I am. Grow a pair and shut the goddamn FUCK up.

For now, the evil is defeated, and I rest my fucking case.

Whelp, you can’t shame me for trying, but you’d rather continue doubling down on bitching about people being mean about your precious abusive company and licking Mile’s boots on your high horse while defending incest ships and pushing someone to contemplate suicide over criticizing a character death in a cartoon and then claim there’s nothing wrong enough about that to change.

https://twitter.com/KOB13x/status/1278244097732550656

So how about this time, you DON'T overwork the creator and fuck them over?

Cool so you’re just being a shittier version of me then?

You know, considering that your points against me are ‘fake suicide attempt’ and ‘incest ship’ while mine was ‘fundamental disrespect for people’s way of life’ and ‘blatant hypocrisy.’

Kob, You’ll never be better than me because I don’t literally claim I regret what I did one post and then dismiss what I did the next and I tried to back off and try to seek for some level of actual humanity within you, something you clearly don’t have while you decided to go “U-Uh, yeah, but you did the same thing in the past so it’s cool when I do it to u.” (Nice doubling down with that homophobia BTW)

Quote: “ All without remorse, something I showed by stopping when it happened. (Even as the parent thread shows- I never tried to get them to kill themselves.)”

Showed. I rerated it back then but now i honestly I do not care because it doesn’t fucking matter as you showed.

BTW That wasn’t a ‘you did too!’ thing. It was a ‘Clearly you being bisexual means nothing here’. Also nice job saying that I’ll never be better than you the literally dehumanize me. Also also- You called a lesbian a psycho for not being perfect. I literally chose that example because I knew you were gonna pull that card so great job implying you’re a homophobe considering your statement was far more offensive.

I don’t fucking use shit from years ago against them as sick gotchas, then get mad because people are joking about how you’re basically “cancelling” them while also playing the victim when the same is done to you.

Except you literally responded to me with that. ( Didn’t you push someone to attempting suicide because they were critical of Pyrrha’s death? / #I GOT NOTICED BY THE PEDOPHILLIC SHIP APOLOGIST /  #MISTER 'IT'S EPHEBOPHILIA ACTUALLY )

Ps, what the fuck is this bullshit

You DO disparage people for their political beliefs, you do it all the fucking time with RWDE, don’t lie you gaslighting sack of shit.

Disparage. Noun. ‘regard or represent as being of little worth’. I have never disparaged anyone for their political beliefs or even the blatant lying you pull. I never say you are worthless or inherently worse for those. Maybe your ACTIONS, which are separate from political beliefs, but not your beliefs.

If you don’t want to be called a bigot, don’t preach about how we should just give people who disagree with our political beliefs huggie wuggies because we don’t want to hurt the fee fees of people who still believe viruses that have killed hundreds of thousands is considered a hoax, see masks that help against said virus are oppressive, claim free health care is still considered communism in certain countries and/or continue to whiteknight for the police despite constant fucking acts of vile police brutality, you parasite fuck.

Not pictured: anything to do with bigotry.

Pictured: Disparaging people for their political beliefs.

Also pictured: Assuming shit about me.

Just as I am fine with people not wearing masks as a choice, I’m fine with businesses and companies denying people for not wearing masks. I respect their freedom.

I never said to respect people who believe the Coronavirus is a hoax. Very different from portraying them as inferior people though.

My issue with free health care is that politicians lie about it a fuckton and America is fundamentally against something like free health care due to our focus on individualism while a free health care system on average would hold everyone countable for the health of others.

And I haven’t whiteknighted the police. In fact, in the Eric Garner case, i publicly say that the police fucked up. (https://kob131.tumblr.com/post/620292630957473792/what-were-your-thoughts-on-the-eric-garner-case)

So congrats on that.

Just  admit you want to pretend marginalized people don’t exist so they can’t threaten your “Centrist” safe space and go back to beating off to Ruby being fucked by her uncle and harrassing people who diss your shitty internet anime and rot, you literal piece of shit.

You say as I openly uphold that race, sexuality and gender don’t fucking matter. You know this because the post you’re screenshotting from has me outright state the similarities between us (our mental condition, race and gender) is superficial.

You say as I have publicly exploded on Nazis.

You say as I gag at incest hentai and manga.

You say as you openly do WORSE than what i did to JSWV so clearly you don’t think it’s harassment.

Then again, even after my friends have been suicide baited, my reputation dragged through the mud (at least two of my followers thought I was a Nazi before actually talking to me), I have been suicide baited despite openly saying I was suicidal, being told I’m a shit person in every conceivable way- I still don’t pull this shit. So way to go proving what I said before.

Also your a nazi for sympathizing with literal nazis over the marginalised, fuck you.

You say as my one interaction with a Nazi was to effectively tell them to fuck themselves with a white hot dildo and the point you are referring to (That Hitler was a normal person like anyone else so people should watch out) only works if I think Nazis are BAD.

Then again, you’re a coward who knew they couldn’t respond to the post in full and couldn’t let people see the full thing so you blocked me and took screenshots to refer to two points and then lie throughout the rest.

Just like I said- You do not understand me in the slightest. Nor are we alike in any meaningful capacity. Even the fact that you blocked me is proof of that, considering I am adamant in not blocking people or even turning off Anon despite the shit I get because of it.

You weren’t looking for humanity or anything like that, as my post repeatedly showed you failing to connect to m. You were trying to avoid the fact that you fucked yourself into a corner and changed the subject to salvage yourself. Evident by the fact that the stuff that shows how NOT alike we are was cut for your post.

Get it through your thick skull- We are not alike. You are, however, alike to the delusion you have of me.

MDZS/Persona 5 xover that literally no one asked for

I just feel like there’s so much potential for this. Think about it, both of these works have themes surrounding the damage gossip can cause, getting punished for doing the right thing (no good deed goes unpunished), what constitutes justice, and the consequences of shitty parenting, amongst other things. 

Mostly I just want to run wwx’s palace. He has a palace, there’s no doubt about that, and I want to run it. I’d kill 500 men for the opportunity. Also, pretty sure his treasure would be his lost golden core. Meaning, that if you successfully steal that shit you get to give to it him and then he’d have a new one without 1) him having to die and be brought back in a new body or 2) having to fuck anyone else up. (Phantom Thievery ftw!) You’d just have to successfully complete the palace. That’s all. 

Can you imagine wwx as a boss? Like, can you imagine that boss fight? He’d have at least 12 health bars. I mean, this is the guy who got shot by an arrow, pulled it out, and threw it back, instantly killing the bitch who shot him. This is the fucker who got disemboweled by his brother, stuffed his intestines back in, and then went and bought potatoes. This guy got a super experimental operation done on him, got stabbed with his own sword by wen chao (at least in the donghua, can’t remember if this happened in the other adaptations), and was then thrown into burial mounds. Like after all that, he was literally thrown off a cliff and he was still able to move around. Wwx is not unlike a termite: there’s really not much that can kill him. During the Sunshot Campaign he managed whole battlefields on his own. He played the flute days and nights on end without rest. 

His boss fight would be near impossible but I would be so willing to try. BTW, I’m imagining this taking place after he’s moved into Burial Mounds with the Wen Remnants but before jzx gets dead. You know, before everything gets irreversibly fucked. So the Stygian Tiger Seal will definitely feature in the boss fight. Most likely it’ll be something you need to steal it during the fight. I’m imagining that he uses to summon endless waves of corpses that prevent you from getting any hits in so you have to distract him in order to steal the seal off him and finally be able to deal actual damage to him. That’ll be stage one of the fight. Stage two will be fighting wwx and shadow wen ning. You have to defeat wen ning before you move on to stage three. Wen ning exclusively uses physical attacks. Wwx never uses physical attacks. He mostly commands wen ning but throws out curse and almighty attacks every one or two turns. Stage three is just wwx and he starts hitting you with a crap ton of curse damage with some almighty mixed in to spice things up. He repels most physical attacks and all curse moves. He’s weak to bless skills but has a 50% dodge rate for them. Beating wwx earns you no money (b/c he’s poor af) but he drops 2x Shijie’s soup (restores full sp to all party members), 5x wen qing’s needles (cures any status condition), 5x curse talismans (does 50 dmg), and one (1) golden core. 

What does wwx’s palace look like? Where is it? I want to say Lotus Pier and the distortion (what he thinks of it as) is a graveyard/mausoleum/something along those lines. But an argument could be made for burial mounds. I’m not sure what the distortion would be though in that case. I feel like wwx sees burial mounds pretty clearly. No, I think wwx’s distortion revolves around Lotus Pier and his family there. Mini bosses? Jiang Cheng definitely. Maybe Madame Yu? Shijie would show up (his palace wouldn’t be complete without her) but she wouldn’t be a shadow you’d fight. She’d offer guidance or healing items. Lwj’s shadow would definitely be there but I’m not sure what his role would be. At that point in the story, wwx’s unknowingly in love with lwj and sees him as a nice guy who asks wwx questions he can’t answer. He believes that he and lwj will inevitably end up on opposite sides of the battle field but ultimately wwx does not want to fight him. He feels that a death at lwj’s hands would be a good death. So he might be a shadow you have to impress or prove yourself to before receiving help. I feel like wwx’s palace would be a bit like Futaba’s in that he wouldn’t have full control over it because he no longer has complete control over himself or his demonic cultivation. Which is why I think there would be shadows in wwx’s palace that act counter to his purpose of pushing others away (not unlike in Futaba’s palace). If anything, I feel like his palace would be like a weird mix of Futaba’s and Nijima’s palaces. Because wwx has that distinct self-blaming loneliness that so permeated Futaba’s pyramid but he also has that single-minded determination and overbearing hubris that featured so strongly is Nijima’s casino. I don’t know. Nijima, in her boss battle, repeatedly yelled “I must win! I must win at any cost!” and I can kinda hear wwx saying something similar but it would be more along the lines of “I must protect them! I must protect them no matter what!” “Them” of course being his family and the Wen Remnants. 

 Other palaces to conquer in the MDZS universe? (It might be easier to list the people who wouldn’t have palaces.) 

Jiang Cheng definitely has a palace. A very purple palace. Lotus Pier, the Revenge. But what does he see his home as? An empty house? Jyl did say in the Untamed that three of them must remain together forever. And what happened? Wwx ran off with the last of the Wens and Jyl got married and left. If anything, jc is lonely. All he wants is his family back. So his palace would either reflect the state of his existence: alone in an empty home with no one to call his own, or it would reflect his deepest desires: his whole family returned to him. What sort of palace ruler would he be? He has that inferiority complex and brother and mother and father issues. (So. Many. ISSUES.) I can see his wwx shadow being completely obedient, because that’s sort of what he wants. He wants his brother home again and fulfilling his promise, to be the other half of the twin heroes of Yunmeng. It might be fun to fight shadow!jc and shadow!wwx at the same time. The Phantom Thieves vs the Twin Heroes of Yunmeng, loser gets sent to the Shadow Realm! (Just kidding. Unless...?) The other possibility is that wwx is completely absent from the palace but his absence is blatantly obvious to anyone that gazes upon the palace, like walking into a bedroom with no bed. There should be a bed there. Everyone knows a bed belongs here but there is no bed. Jc’s palace should have a wwx but wwx is not here. But he should be.

What would jc’s treasure be? His original golden core? Probably not. As far as he’s concerned (at this juncture) the golden core in his body is his original, restored by baoshan sanren. So it’s not that. The puppies that he lost as a boy, that he was forced to trade for an errant brother? A possibility. That was seemingly the start of jc’s problems. First he lost his beloved dogs, then he lost the love of his parents. Jfm focused on wwx to the detriment of jc and madame yu wouldn’t shut the fuck up about how jc couldn’t compare to wwx. If wwx hadn’t come to lotus pier, jc’s parents might’ve been satisfied with him. But I sincerely doubt that. There were clearly problems between J-fucking-M and Mad-Yu’s (can you tell that I think nothing of these two assholes god what I wouldn’t give to kick their asses in the metaverse I’d tear their fucking hearts out to quote ryugi) marriage prior to wwx’s arrival. Wwx’s presence there only brought those problems to the surface. Whether jc is capable of recognizing that truth is another matter. (Sorry, jc but your parents are shit and their marriage was doomed to failure before they even made their bows.) 

Or would wwx himself be the treasure? Jc’s parents are dead; they can’t be returned to life and therefore are unattainable. Jyl didn’t necessarily abandon jc and I doubt he sees her leaving as a betrayal. Jyl’s marriage was more or less inevitable. She’s able to easily visit. There’s no real conflict there. Wwx, on the hand, defected from Jiang sect. Jc has to pretend to loathe him, to not want him back when the opposite is in fact the case. Most of jc’s problems, wishes, and desires center around this one person. It wouldn’t be inaccurate to say that wwx is the locus of jc’s world, the axis upon which all turns: the triumphs and failures, tragedies and victories. When wwx is missing, jc looks for him. When wwx drops his sword, jc picks it up and returns it to him. Whatever happens to one brother affects the other. Even if/when wwx isn’t obviously present in jc’s life, he’s still there, even if you don’t see one brother next to the other. Even though jc doesn’t know it at that point in the story, wwx is the core of jc’s body and, therefore, it would make thematic sense for him to the be the core of jc’s palace.

Other palaces? Well, Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao obviously. Su She is debatable. I feel like he’d be a Mementos run. Besides, he’s not important enough to warrant a palace. Likewise, Jin Zixun would be a Mementos case. Wen Ruohan would have a palace but we don’t get to really know him as a character so I can’t say what his palace would like look except that it would encompass the whole of Ancient China. Wen Chao would likely have a palace even though he doesn’t deserve the attention ripping his palace apart would require. Most likely it would be a cross between Kamoshida’s and Kanoshiro’s. Jgs’ palace would probably look like Kamoshida’s and Jgy’s would probably be like Shido’s. 

Am I missing anyone? What do you think the characters’ palaces would look like? Whose palace would you most like to run? Let me know!

ok so, i just analyzed kageyama's birth chart! 

i made this out of pure entertainment, boredom and curiosity and i don't actually believe that astrology works on fictional characters (i even have my doubts that astrology defines one person's personality since i'm inclined to traditional astrology, but anyway, this is only for fun purposes aand it's very superficial and not supposed to be taken seriously as an astrology work!!) i'm also not the type of fan who knows every single detail about a character or who remembers every single appearances and lines so i probably won't go too deep into examples...

kageyama's official birth date is 22/12/1996 and he's from miyagi, okinawa. with this information only we can already identify most of his chart: he's a capricorn sun, capricorn mercury, sagittarius venus, virgo mars, capricorn jupiter and aries saturn (i dont use neptune, uranus or pluto). being born on that day, he could either be a taurus or a gemini moon, and, of course, there's no information about the time he was born, so his ascendant is also a guess. i tried to find a solution based on the chart as a whole, and i think it makes a lot of sense!!

first thing i wanted to look for was a placement that talked about his sport skills. being sports a matter of the 5th house, it seemed clear to me that that's where his sun should be placed. the sun represents life. in one's chart, it talks about our ego, our conscious identity, and it's placement tells us where we shine, where we direct our creative life force. for mundane astrology the sun represents the authority of the state, the government - presidents, nobles, and kings. kageyama is called "the king of the court". to me there's no doubt that his sun should be at the 5th house - where he rules, where his light shines brighter, where his will to live is directed.

if so, considering the whole signs house system, we get a virgo ascendant (house I), and so on: libra (II), scorpio (III), sagittarius (IV), capricorn (V), aquarius (VI), pisces (VII), aries (VIII), taurus (IX), gemini (X), cancer (XI) and leo (XII).

it was also very convincing to me that this would also place his mars on the ascendant (virgo). being the 1st house the part of the chart that talks about our physical body, and mars talking about a person's vitality, people with mars on the ascendant or even opposite to it (VII) usually tend to push their physical body to its limit, being pretty driven to physical activities (we can clearly see that on the way kageyama and hinata always stay until very late practicing at the club, for example... kageyama’s often seen running on his free time too). it would also make a lot of sense considering his appearence (both physical and the impression he gives off) and the way he acts. mars is the planet of war. it is violence, action. people with mars on the ascendant can easily give off an intimidating appearence or presence. being a capricorn on top of that, there's no escape: that's the famous resting bitch face..... he's energetic, straightforward, competitive and independent. and that also explains the way he can become pretty agressive sometimes, mostly regarding his competitiveness and his desire to be on top. i also found it funny that while i was looking up for kageyama's birth date i came across a few descriptions of him talking about his "sharp glare", and sharp objects are also a matter of mars. about the placement on virgo, the ascendant also talks about how perfectionist he is, including his appearence (he's always filing his nails, for example, and he's never negligent about his health. actually he takes it very seriously), and mars in this sign, besides the already mentioned perfectionism, is also about being very goal-oriented and critical. it's also interesting, if we play a little with words, that virgo's symbology talks a lot about serving, and kageyama's position as a setter is about "serving" the best tosses to his teammates, besides being his serve one of his strongest weapons.

on 22/12/1996, there were 2 times when the ascendant was in virgo: around midnight and around 10pm - 11pm. but the problem is, around midnight his moon would be taurus; around 10pm his moon would be gemini. once again, the placement of the moon made my mind. for a taurus moon, it'd be placed on the 9th house. a gemini would be placed on the 10th. i'd go for a gemini moon. you could doubt that, knowing that kageyama isn't very good with words, and having a virgo ascendant, which is ruled by mercury, the planet of communication and also the ruler of gemini, could be a little off. but it's not true that all geminis are talkative and sociable like that (specially because there's not a single placement in a chart that can speak alone for a person's personality). i believe the moon in gemini fits the way kageyama mentally deals with what he loves. he keeps a fucking volleyball journal!!! and while he's playing, he's always thinking and observing every minimal detail. his mental work is impressive. no wonder he's a genius. he might not have the best way with words (and this is about the way he's not good at dealing with emotions, which a gemini moon really might not be) but he can read his teammates very well and adapt to them perfectly. this is all gemini. speaking of mercury, a mercury in capricorn isn't very good at being sensitive with words either. they also have an authoritarian way of speaking and can be quite judgemental and impatient (specially if someone doesn't get something obvious to them). with mars in virgo, moon in gemini and mercury in capricorn, i guess we get a pretty close picture on kageyama's temper and communication skills.

i thought a lot about it's placement on the 10th house as well. the 10th house, being the highest spot of one's chart, is not only the house of career and success, but of our public image too. a moon in the 10th talks about an emotional need for public recognition and an emotional energy directed to the career. this is a very important placement for him, being his moon not only in the 10th but also conjunct midheaven, which means, literally at the highest spot of his birth chart. kageyama knows he's good and he wants to be the best at what he loves the most. he wants to be on top. and that's what he's passionate about. the moon also talks about our early childhood, which is when tobio's passion for volleyball began: the events of his childhood defined the path of life he chose to follow. but he also learns that that's not something he'd conquer alone. and it makes so much sense to be gemini. after all, gemini's symbol is the twins. not even the moon shines by herself alone. considering how kageyama learned this lesson, it seems like such a beautiful placement for his chart. that's something he had to understand in order to grow and get better and reach the position he achieved.

about his venus, the planet of love and relationships, in sagittarius, it brought me to his relationship with hinata (speaking as friends/teammates/rivals/whatever you want tbh). when venus is in sagittarius, a relationship is a place to experiment and grow. sagittarius is ruled by jupiter, the planet of expansion. a sagittarius venus will want you to take them beyond, to expand their horizons. that's exactly what hinata did to kageyama since the very beginning. "when you get stronger, you will definitely meet someone even better". hinata's always pushing kageyama beyond and that's why they get so connected to each other. hinata always surprises him, their relationship/partnership is never dull, but exciting, impredictable. it's fire burning.

i'm not going too deep into analyzing jupiter and saturn, and i'm not very good at analyzing aspects, but since kageyama's such a capricorn (sun, mercury and jupiter - like me! heheh) there was no way i could look away from his saturn in aries: after all, saturn rules capricorn, and his saturn squares his sun (a hard aspect). (btw, i found out that the kanji for “kageyama” means “shadowed mountain”, which is SUCH a saturnine name?? both shadows and mountains can be related to this planet) doing a little research, i found some interesting things about this placement. about saturn in aries: "Stifling your normal and healthy, more aggressive, competitive, or self-centered qualities can be detrimental to you, possibly causing headaches. You don’t like showing weakness. (...) You fear your own feelings of inadequacy. (...) You need to be careful not to limit yourself too much due to fear of failure or fear of making a poor decision. (...) You are highly resourceful. Your ability to start fresh helps you achieve your goals". like... that was really on point i guess. i think we could relate this to his development, as he began to adapt to the karasuno spikers due to a fear of repeating what happened during middle school. saturn is the planet that talks about fears and limits, and when it squares his sun, his position of "king of the court", this is what happens: he feels limited on the way he plays, on his true nature. and by limiting that, by denying his true nature, he was limiting his space to grow. there's a really good post i came across very recently on this matter, so i'm leaving this here.

i believe this aspect would be crucial to understanding his position as the "king". saturn in aries is the dispositor of his sun in capricorn. that means, the way his sun in capricorn "behaves" is modified by his position of saturn. aries is a self-centered, hot-tempered sign with needs of control, and that defines the type of role his sun plays as the "king". of course, this relates to an especific episode of kageyama's life, but it's a crucial episode, a truly turning point of his life - like most saturn related events. to add one more detail, the sun rules his 12th house (leo), and one of the 12th house's themes is isolation - what kageyama got in middle school by acting like a "dictator king" and what he feared the most that would happen again.
