With how much vinegar Luo "everyone is in love with Shizun and he doesn't know but i do" Binghe and Lan "Wei Ying has flirted with both men and women infront of me" Zhan drink you'd think they would have a support group by now

In regards to Byler and Mileven

Just heard from a YouTube video:

"Canon ships do not equal better ships. Just because your ship is canon does not give you the right to look down on people whose ship isn't. Conversely, don't attack people who ship canon ships because you think your ship should be canon over theirs."

If you see this, reblog it. I just want this to spread and end some of the hate that Byler and Mileven shippers have going on. We should just enjoy the show instead.

[montecarloedexistence]

Driving myself Crazy for three hours trying to make an incomplete Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics Simulation in Python

The following post is a rant. I try my best to explain and dumb things down, but I'm writing it with too much frustration at my code so I apologize in advance.

For those who wanna go oooh colors changing pretty here's a short clip of the animation I generated. There's a longer simulation linked at the bottom of the post.

Read on about how I made the simulation under the cut.

Okay, so, Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics. It's one method of Simulating Fluids (gases and liquids and plasmas basically) with computers. It's mainly got applications in two places, from what I know. One is in Science Research, and another is in Game Development.

There are two major methods of representing a fluid for a computer, one is with Particles, and another is with grids. I tried to make a grid-based simulation but that has a lot more math, and I can't do math without some meth so here I am.

Okay, so Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics. How does it work? Well, like it says, it's basically simulating the constituent and then smoothing them out to sorta get the hydrodynamic behavior. [3]

The Ancient Indian natural scientist Maharshi Kanada [1] postulated that everything in the world was made of tiny little things indivisible things called Paramanu. Democritus proposed a similar theory, that all matter was composed of small indivisible particles which they called "atoms" [2]. The idea of smooth particle hydrodynamics builds on top of that. If everything is made up of these constituent particles, then so must fluids as well.

These constituent particles (particles henceforth) are nice. They don't break further, and they undergo elastic collisions. (ACTUALLY, the actual molecules that make up a fluid are not like this, we're just assuming that they are cuz this whole mess is complicated enough without having to simulate intra-intermolecular interactions). Elastic Collisions, basically mean that the particles, when they hit each other, they don't lose the energy of motion (kinetic energy). [4]

An actual Liquid is going to have MILLIONS OF BILLIONS of particles. Actually, we have a name for something that big, it's called a Mole. [5] One mole is like 10^23 particles. (10 times 10 times 10... twenty three times). But my computer is a useless piece of potato that can't even be used to make a goddam french fry, unless you wanna heat up the oil with how hot this thing gets doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

Okay sorry for the tangent. It's like almost 2 in the night and I'm hungry. My point is that my computer can't keep track of one mole of particles. It's too many particles. So, what I say is, okay, out of the one mole of particles, I'm going to keep track of only like say, 1000 particles. And then whatever results I get, I multiply it with a big number and scale it up to approximate the results of one mole of particles.

So, I just put a bunch of particles, and then I have to keep track of their positions, velocities, accelerations, and all that jazz. So if you remember 8th grade there were these equations of motion, where you'd change the values of position, velocity, and acceleration using some formulae. [6] Those formulae are continuous, which means for fancy sphancy reasons (Remind me to write another post about this when I'm in a better mood about this one it's super cool) I can't use. I need to do something called Discritize the equations. [7].

For that, I used something called the Explicit Euler Method first. [8] That's basically a method that Euler came up with I guess so it's got his name. Why does the Wikipedia article on this thing not have a history section but a section on "In Popular Culture" wth. Someone pls edit it if you know the history of this thing anyways.

The problem with Discretization is that, the way you're implementing it in computers, it's not going to be accurate. There's going to be some errors and they build up. So normally when you drop a ball from a certain height, and ignore the fact that heat and air and friction exists, then the ball hits the ground, and bounces back, it should go back to the height it started at. But because of the errors from Discretization adding up, the ball kept losing height. That's not good. So I moved over and implemented this thing called the Runge Kutta Method. [9] These methods were developed around 1900 by the German mathematicians Carl Runge and Wilhelm Kutta. If you're looking at the wikipedia page for this and wondering what the heck is this, same gurl same. I just asked chatgpt to implement this method into my code and it gave out something that I think is correct I'm not sure. But the point is that this is better and doesn't throw that much errors in calculation.

Okay now that that's done, I threw like a 1000 balls onto the screen, gave them random velocities, put them under an arbitrary downward gravity, and hooray. That covers the particle part of the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics.

(YES I know particles don't go through each other like they do in this simulation. I'm supposed to include some collision logic, and I could not be bothered to implement it yet, because it is 2 AM and I AM GOING CRAZY with just this much.)

Now, for the Smooth part of Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics. If only I could use this as an excuse to pull out my smooth pickup lines but I'll stick to the physics for now. Basically, one way of calculating density is, suppose I have a box, I can toss in say 100 balls, and then the density of the box is 100 balls / box. The box has some volume, so I divide this unit I've got with the volume of the box. And each ball has some mass, so I multiply the unit with the mass of each ball. And that's basically what I do here.

Suppose, I take a point and then around it, I draw a circle. I first count the number of particles in this circle, and then divide it with the volume of the circle. (There's a few more steps here but i'm not bothering. I'm giving more importance to the particles closer to the point and less to the particles more far away but that's a mess to explain and I can't think of a way to explain it.). And then I multiply and divide by the mass of particle and volume of the circle respectively, I end up with the density at the given point.

But that's just for one point. If you sit and plot it for as many points as possible, then you get something resembling the density function of the system. What I've done here is basically divide my domain into a 25 by 25 grid, and I calculated the density at the center of each of the grid boxes. The more particles and the More Grid boxes you have, the more smoother your function will be. Here, not so much. It's a pixelated mess, but the same logic applies. I calculated the density grid for each instant of time, and then let the simulation run for like 1000 frames.

FINALLY the plotting. I just plotted the points where they are with a scatterplot, and then the background I put the heatmap of the density. And of course I didn't bother naming my axes, because that's the standard practice for plotting graphs. (When you're lazy like I am right now. Always label your axes in a serious graph)

So here's the GIF I finally generated after the trials and tribulations going for like 1000 frames. Let's hope Tumblr can render it pls.

I cited my references in the order of the paragraphs I wrote so deal with the non-linear citations. This ain't a research paper and it's way too late in the night for me to be bothered about this sorry. Why did I even bother with the citations if I was going to half-arse this thing anyways this is why you don't write stuff when half asleep.

Okay yeah that's about it time to sleep for me. I just wanted to finish writing this post before I could sleep, cuz I know for a fact I ain't goina be in a mood to write it once I wake up. 100% gurantee I'll lose the motivation to write it once i wake up lol.

[buggybambi]

mae girl! i’ve been living for your carmy stuff. k know you’re just getting back but i’ve been thinking about this idea for a while and i believe the last writer i shared with had gotten deactivated. this might be two ideas instead of one so feel free to do whatever you desire. idk why but would you be down to write some fluff and angst with maybe like married!carmy? maybe something where nat and pete legit ambush carmy and his wife to start talking again? but it like a lighthearted fluffy kinda way at the same time ? utilizing the scene carmy yells at syd as a base- i hate to use that scene as an example but it’s one that comes to mind when writing this atm. anyway, like the reader doesn’t work at the bear but’ll come in on her days off and mornings before her shift to help them open. and carm is already on edge about something going on in the resto and he yells at his wife out of overwhelming frustration. evidently, he’s mad at himself for it after he does it he apologized but she’s all like “no.” and she’s literally giving him the silent treatment. ofc her and nat are besties and loves her sil, so i totally see nat roping pete into getting carmy to come over whilst the reader is already on her way since they haven’t spoken in a while. both nat and pete are literally doing whatever they can to keep these two in separate spaces of the house because neither carm or his wife have any clue they’re there. maybe like y/n is inside with nat and pete meets carmy outside on arrival? the reader is walking towards to the door to out and nat’s still stalling like “so are things with you and my brother?” and the reader scoffs and nat’s just like “still not talking to him huh?” and while the reader grabs the handle slowly opening the door open she’s all like “look, sugar- you know i love your brother, but carmy sometimes can be a piece of shit” and then all you hear is carmy being like “oh, i’m a piece of shit- even after i apologized to you?” and i can just see carmy and the reader being like wth is going on here. idk but nat and pete will sillily have to do the most to get these two the civilly sit down inside of their house to even have anything of a talk. and then nat team tagging with pete to get to the bottom of things and then she lets it slip that y/n had mentioned that they were trying to get pregnant and camry’s just like “wait. what? and carmy already up and ready to talk to her alone. this man would be so loving the first time all like “y/nn can i talk to you in the kitchen for a second?” and then she’s tryna explain and carm out here using her FULL name “in the kitchen now.” just hearing how he’d say it makes me squirm and squeak 😂😩. and she’s just speeding over because she knows he means it when he pulls out the first name. and think with that he’s all just hurt that she told his sister and he hadn’t really said anything- since it was their thing they they were still figuring out. seriously feel free to do whatever you desire. just sharing the same idea i’ll dream about in a few moments. tysm in advance 😭.

- 🥣.

i'm so sorry this took me so long to write, my love! this has nothing to do with you i just got a bit concerned and got lost so many times lmfao, im just dumb like that

ʚɞ

naturally, carmen wants to try to keep his anger away from you. you’re his love, his angel, his everything. the idea that he blew up at you makes him wanna cry but you won’t talk to him, you refuse to in fact until you process what he said.

“why the fuck are you here?! i don’t need you messing shit up and crowding me!” he yelled at you. the memory fresh in your mind. it should be since it’s the only thing you’ve thought about for the past few days.

nat and pete, in their own ways, notice this and take charge. pete thinks you two can handle it but nat chimes in with the, “i know my brother. he can’t handle shit. If this is left up to him to resolve, nothing will happen. i love him but still.”

so they form their plan. pete invites carmy over to set up furniture, catch up, whatever and nat invites you over to talk about the baby and ask for your help with meal prepping. “so, have you and my brother talked about what happened at the restaraunt?” she asks.

you walk over to the couch, putting on your jacket and scarf. you let out a scoff as your answer. “taking that as a no.” nat answers. you put your hand on the doorknob, your back to the front lawn where carmen and pete, unknowing to you, stand.

"look, you know I love Carmen. and you know i want-" you sigh. "i want a family with him, Nat. i want a child, or children, with the guy. but your brother can be a real piece of shit sometimes." You open the door fully at that point, where carmen's now staring at you.

"i'm a piece of shit, after i apologized to you?" carmen asks. you stare at him before looking at pete, then at natalie whose got a guilty smile on her face. "okay. what the hell is this?" You question.

"oh! carmy, hi! i had no idea you were gonna be here. come on in, we'll all have some coffee and we can talk about what's happening." natalie says as she pulls you inside, motioning for carmen to come inside.

he reluctantly agrees, stepping inside as he sits at the dining room table. you stand in the kitchen, far enough away from them.

i think once nat reveals that you told her you want kids his reaction changes. maybe you two talked about it or maybe he doesnt know but either way, he wants to talk to you. that changes things in his mind. because you still want kids with him.

while you and carm work out your own issues, of course nat and pete take credit for it, even though you and carmy are both mad at her. also the idea of carmen using your full name as a way to call you stop oh my gosh

[ad7red]

heyyyy so basically i have an idea but idk if you write for Spiderman!Ethan Landry so if you don’t you can ignore this. butttt if you do i was wondering if you could do something like where the reader dates Ethan and one night she’s like walking back from somewhere and like something happens like she gets attacked or like someone steals something of her or like some weirdo starts flirting with her. But then Spiderman comes and saves the day :)) And then when he does he shows his face and the reader is like You’re spiderman? and He’s like yeah and She’s just kinda like wth and a bit confused cos she wouldn’t except it

Sorry it’s long btw it’s just a idea i’ve had for a while 😫

please and thank you 🙏 💕💕

AN ; it's ok! i love long reqs they give me more to go off of lmao

WARNING ; almost sa (nothing vivid at all!!), asshole-ification of frankie, that’s all i think?

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

The music was blasting in your ears, there were too many people, you felt hot. You’ve had around 4 cups and they weren't making you feel any better. You needed to get out of this party asap, but you could barely make out the exit with the mob of people surrounding you. And as if the night couldn’t get any worse some dude named Frankie kept trying to hit on you, even after telling him numerous times that you had a boyfriend whom you were very content with. He eventually walked away to get a drink and you took your shot to escape the dense man.

After a bit of walking, you found the glowing neon ‘EXIT’ sign right ahead. You let out a relieved sigh before seeing that annoying familiar face. The think-witted boy couldn't take a hint for the life of him. You quickly ran to the exit in hopes he wouldn't follow you there as well. You hoped wrong.

“Will you just leave me alone? I told you already I have a boyfriend!” Before you got the chance to run off again he grabbed you by the arm firmly, which was sure to bruise up later. “What type of boyfriend doesn't come to a party with their girlfriend? You don't deserve whoever that asshole is.” You were stunned, how was he talking about Ethan as if he knew him personally? He didn't even know his name was Ethan!

“My boyfriend is not at this party because he's busy! But if I asked him I'm sure he would've agreed. And for the record, he's not an asshole. If anyone is, it would be you.” You said as trying to yank your hand away, only causing his grip to become stronger. “I’d be careful with your choice of words princess.” His free hand had started to creep up your thigh, slowly but surely. However before he could get any further a shadow flew apon the both of you. Before you could make out what, who, it was you quickly felt someone’s arms wrap around your neck. And it certainly wasn't Frankie’s, since his we're still wrapped around your thigh. However, that didn't last long as soon as you both realized who it was. Your local spiderman.

Frankie cocked an eyebrow, confused about why he was there, “What’s up with you? Aren’t you supposed to be where there’s a crime?”. Spiderman dramatically pulled his hand to his heart as if he had been shot, “What? I can’t hang out with my girlfriend?” He slightly tilted his head, giving you the signal to act along. Now, you were reluctant to play along, on one hand, you were dying to get away from Frankie, on the other hand, you did have a boyfriend. And it wasn’t Spiderman.

“He’s your boyfriend?” Frankie asked while taking a step back. You slowly nodded your head. “Now, are you going to back the hell off and leave her alone, or will I have to use my super cool and awesome spider powers?” He had said it in a goofy tone and very lightly, but you knew it was true. Spiderman cracked his knuckles, and while you shouldn’t have been laughing at a time like this, but the alcohol had completely taken over when a giggle just snuck past your lips.

After the threat, Frankie didn’t hesitate to walk back into the party, but not without muttering a few “stupid Spiderman” “fucking cockblocker” and some “assholes.” on his way in. As soon as he walked in Spiderman’s whole goofy manner had disappeared. He thought for a minute, about how he was gonna word whatever he was about to say. “He didn't-” He paused, anger laced throughout his voice. “He didn't touch you, right?” You noticed his fist had been clenched. You quickly shook your head “No! No! Just the thigh thing..” You watched closely as his first unclenched a bit, regardless still in a loose fist. There was an awkward silence after that, tension so thick it could’ve been cut with a knife.

“Did you drink anything?” He had asked, and even though it was quite obvious you were a tad bit tipsy you still nodded your head no. This caused a chuckle out of him, and if you weren’t mistaken it sounded just like Ethan’s but before you could ponder too long about it, the cold breeze of the night cleared any thoughts in your head.

“Can I walk you home? Just in case the freak comes back?” You shrugged while nodding your head. The both of you started walking in the chilly city before you realized you never properly thanked the hero. “Thanks, by the way. For, you know,” you responded while twiddling your thumbs idly. “No problem! I'm just happy was there!” His goofy tone had quickly returned as if it never left. Soon you two found conversations easily, switching whenever your attention span left the topic. You started to really see the similarities between him and Ethan the more you talked with the masked vigilante.

“You know, you really remind me of my boyfriend Ethan.” You paused recognizing what you said might’ve not come out the way you wanted it to. “Not in a weird way!” He laughed, Ethan couldn't help but poke some fun. “Really? Tell me about him” You didn't waver to start rambling about all the things you liked about Ethan.

“Oh, Oh! And he has the cutest curly hair I've ever seen!” you were fuming with excitement, even though you were only talking about him you could feel a smile growing on your face. “I have curly hair too,” you pushed aside his comment. “Yeah, but his is probably cuter. Definitely cuter actually. No offense.” And though you couldn't see it Ethan had a smile growing on his as well. “You sure it's cuter? You haven't even seen mine.” You quickly responded to his snarky comment. “Don't need to! He blows everyone else out of the competition!”. You both started to laugh before you realized you were already at your dorm.

“Oh, this is one’s mine! Thanks again.” and you were very thankful for the superhero coming to your aid, and providing some entertainment on the way here. He waved off your words replying “Again, it was no problem,” He stood there for about 30 seconds seemingly debating about something in his head.

He rearranged his feet while speaking, “Do you wanna know something’s about my girlfriend?”. “What?” you quickly replied accidentally sounding meaner than you had intended. His feet came to a stop, but only to move his hand behind his neck. “I mean, you told me all about yours, it’s only fair if I tell you about mine.” His tone had completely changed, nervousness evident in his voice. “Sure?” you replied, unsure of where he was taking this.

He went on to name her features, yet they were suspiciously similar to yours. Connecting the dots you thought out loud, “Wait..” And before you could even finish your thought Spiderman pulled his mask off. You took a step back, your lips slightly parted. “Ethan?”. He played with the mask in his hands before responding “Heya,”

okay I ended this horribly but i had no idea how to pull it all together lmao ALSO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO POST

[gday-gecko]

read another stupid book 😭😭 god of fury by rina kent. (SPOILERS!!!)

Stupid, terrible book. Okay let's go.

There were so many repeated phrases like "prim and proper" and "fucked-up brain". I was already bored of Brandon and his "fucked-up brain" on page 19. Be a bit more creative, please. You don't have to bash me over the head with it.

The dialogue was SO unrealistic, like, people don't say these things??? Especially Clara. I get that she's supposed to be unliked, but that doesn't mean you can't make her at least talk normally. 😭 And the nicknames. "Lotus flower" sounds stupid, I don't care what anyone says. Yes, with their dynamic, Nikolai would give Brandon a nickname, but it doesn't have to be so fucking stupid. Plus, not everyone needs one—you don't have to get a nickname out of every name out there.

The smut was okay (that's a lie, no it wasn't, I nearly cried every time). (Also the dirty talk sucked.) (And boarder-line dubcon several times...)

She screams so loud, Dad shows up at the doorway, but he doesn't make a move. No, he just watches his son and his future son-in-law take the life of a woman and smiles.

I feel like that really captures the whole essence of the book... Just the mysoginy in these "dark romances", you know? (I know Grace was a bad person but the way it's said.)

Nikolai. He wasn't funny, everything that he did/said made me cringe so hard, it was gross. You can have manic or "insane" characters without them sounding fucking stupid. And WHY did he have to name his dick and TALK TO IT LIKE IT WAS SENTIENT WTH (plus discribing him like that when he's five?? ick). He just pissed me off so much. Brandon I disliked only slightly less.

For a book about "want" and "violence" and all those dark things, it didn't seem to show it. I felt like there was a lot of tell and not showing going on. The descriptions of Brandon's mental health could have been sooo much more graphic instead of using the same phrase over and over. And put some more feeling into it. How did Brandon and Nikolai actually feel. I could have written this so much better. Angst? Easy. (I have done it, it was so much fun.) (I am actually tempted to rewrite the goddamn thing.)

There was also just a general lack in character interactions. I didn't know Mia was Deaf until 75% of the way through. I feel like that's an important detail. (TBF, I do miss things but it should be clear enough that I can't miss it.) And Brandon and Lan's supposedly "great and loving" twin relationship? Is the relationship in the room with us? Just. Character interactions are fun. You get to show people's dynamics and make silly jokes and things. Plus you kinda need it for a story...

Also. What is it with these people and their cousins. I can't remember who's related to who and, not gonna lie, it's starting to sound incestuous.

Waste of my time.

this is basically word-for-word my storyboard review

I was looking at Goodreads reviews, and the amount of people that gave it 5 stars and said this was their first mlm 😭😭 Go read some good old AO3 smut, please.

And I was telling my mum about it (excluding some details, of course, like the TOTALLY UNNECESSARY amounts of smut) and she said, "Even I'm finding this book annoying, and I haven't even read it." (direct quote lol)

Genuinly this could have been such an interesting idea but it's just not executed properly.

My sincerest apologies to AFTG, but it does kind of remind me of it. I don't really know, just the manic behaviour of Andrew and Nikolai (yes, they are for different reasons) and mafia stuff, but I could never bring AFTG that low.

This is about the whole blank-satanism thing and I know you won't listen but please atleast read this.

I am a satanist, as in, my religion is satanism, I have read the satanic bible, satanist. I also used to be radqueer. Then people started misusing the word satanism and it started to piss me off. Satanism as a religion is non harmful, we don't support r@pe and such, people think we do though because of the name of our religion. Then seeing "xenosatanism" actually support things like r@pe just.. You could imagine how that makes me feel. This community is taking my already stigmatized religion and dragging it through the mud even more. Xenosatanism is NOT satanism. If you knew jack shit about actual satanism you would know that rule 5 of The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth says "Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal." and 9 says "Do not harm little children.". Don't even say "oh well you don't own the word satanism" no shit, nobody owns words. But you HAVE to acknowledge that by associating a very misunderstood religion with illegal things like r@pe and cp, you are ruining the reputation FURTHER of our religion. Our religion that does not and never will stand for those things. And Ik y'all are gonna say "oh well i dont support those things" have you even looked that the original coining for xenosatanism. It outright says that r@pe is okay. Stop misusing my religions name. PLEASE. You have so many different words you can use yet this community chooses to use the name of an already very stigmatized religion for aesthetic purposes. Its like if you coined xenojudaism and made it support r@pe and child molestation. You understand why thats wrong right??

mf, we aren't even xs, wth are you talking about

you totally DIDN'T get what blanksatanism is about... it's not synonymous to xs...

literally, we used xs as an example, the same as we used allosatanism n beastsatanism... if you had just one functional neuron you would perceive that...

if you had the DECENCY to just search what's allosatanism n beastsatanism you would see that none of them condone non consensual acts (allosatanism is also ANTI XS)

and we're also satanists, at least our hosts are n we consider us collectively satanists, stop saying it as if we don't know what satanism is as RELIGION

and THAT IS the difference between blanksatanism n just satanism, blanksatanism is a STANCE n satanism is a RELIGION, it's very simple actually

being honest, we never saw someone saying that xs is satanism as religion... for some reason just you annoying antis that compare the two things

also why are you saying all this shit n wasting your time with that as if someone cares about your opinion... no one is gonna change their mind bc you said a lot of shit (being honest we didn't even read everything, too much text, thanx but no)

[superkooku]

So, remember when I said I probably wasn't gonna watch Kaos ?

Well, long story short, my family members asked to watch it with me because they found it kinda funny and, out of curiosity, I did. The first 3 episodes at least.

So, for all the fans, it's not a hate post but I'm still gonna complain, because yeah, there are problems. Just know that you're free to enjoy whatever you want, I have no problem with it.

I'm gonna add a "read more" just in case you don't want to read a (mostly) negative rant about your favorite show 😝. But of course, any friendly debate or counterargument is welcome on this post.

There will be some positives but it's mostly in a "if we forget the source material" way. Which Kaos did multiple times. But it was quite difficult for me to do.

My impressions

You know when doctors watch hospital series and point out every mistake and/or inaccuracy ? Like "No, that's not how anatomy works" or smth ? And somehow kinda being entertained by the mess ? That was me 😅. The whole time.

I don't have anything to say about the actors. They did a good job.

About cultural accuracy, that's obviously not the priority here (unfortunately). But I honestly prefer letting actual Greek users criticize the details like @margaretkart , @katerinaaqu or @wordsmithic. Btw I feel this isn't the type of shows you three would like (I myself spent the whole time finding errors lol).

Why so many shortened names ? I thought it was only Eurydice (Riddy still sounds dumb) but here they are saying Ari for Ariadne and Nax for Astyanax. Three syllables isn't that much, guys.

I kept thinking "You're a wizard Ari" the whole time. (In my language, the H in Harry is silent)

Hades and Persephone were cute, ngl. I don't know, just seeing them work together not in a toxic dark romance setting is refreshing. I just wished Hades was more intimidating. Not evil, per se, that's dumb. But more kingly. Because the Underworld is his domain.

The video explaining how the Underworld works to the shades is fun.

For the 100th time IT'S HERACLES, NOT HERCULES !!!

Thank you @sarafangirlart for mentally preparing me about Hera X Poseidon because... WTH was that ???? I audibly cringed and explained why Hera would never do that.

And for Hestia being a dog... seriously. Why ? How about we actually respect the goddess of the hearth ?

But you did NOT mentally prepare me for Zeus "originally being a human". No he wasn't 🤣🤣. Again with the gods being killable. I really hate it.

I'll repeat it : Ariadne being in the anti-god prophecy is stupid. There are way better choices than a freaking olympian god's wife

Eurydice falling out of love feels weird. It's one of the most healthy pairings in mythology 🤦‍♀️. I prefer the Hades version, she feels more like a fleshed out character and has a more legitimate reason to be mad at him.

Zeus and Prometheus' relationship is kinda fun. Especially Zeus just seeking wisdom from him and teleporting him to the eagle again.

Conversely, I don't like Zeus himself. Probably one of my biggest pet peeves in the show. He just follows the modern "Zeus is 100% horrible" approach. I'm bored by it at this point.

And Zeus would NEVER murder his infant child !!! He'd hide it, protect it, like he did with Dionysus when Semele died.

Godly red blood my beloathed 😭. Where is ichor ?

And yes, Wikipedia is right, Theseus and Astyanax are lovers in this.

(I'm referring to this post. All my problems with this are still relevant) :

If they desperately wanted gay/bi Theseus, Pirithous is literally right here.

Btw why does Theseus work for Minos ? Why did both the Immortals movie and Kaos forget that Theseus is a king and not some financially struggling guy ?

Also, for Kaos alone, he tried to save Athenians by fighting for them, for his people... and to solidify himself as king too. But he still succeeded in saving them.

(here I am defending Theseus. Yup...)

I feel the one who'd bring Ariadne to bloody shows and encourage her to break rules would be Dionysus. Not Theseus. (The Dionysus X Ariadne shipper in me is talking)

Though I still buy him trying to charm her in order to get her help. But yeah, not as much a complaint than something I noticed.

I couldn't resist explaining to my family that they never met, Astyanax died as an infant in most versions and that Minos kept ATHENIANS captive, not Trojans.

When we saw the Minotaur's silhouette, my brother and I sang Batman's theme song 🤣. Because, again, why respect the "bull-headed" man depiction when we can make it lame ?

Polyphemus' depiction was also disappointing btw

Some characters should have more fantastical aspects imo. Like the Erinyes or the Fates. And I needed some time to recognize Charon.

I like some characters like Prometheus, Medusa (she's too attractive but I like her sass), Hades/Persephone and... surprisingly Dionysus.

Ok. I'll finish off with Dionysus (because I love complaining about him in particular)

So, on one hand, this version is pretty fun. I like his energy, how he's not afraid of anything and just chills with mortals. He has a very "cool bro" energy. I liked the scene where he drove the truck in a "idgaf" way. And his dedication to help Orpheus to find a purpose is really cool. Overall if he was an original character, I'd honestly really like him.

On the other hand, as a representation of Dionysus the god ? Not really.

I'll only say he's one of the best, not because he's very accurate, but because the bar is extremely low 🤣🤣. Like at least he isn't a stupid drunkard or a background character.

But it's still very disappointing. The fact that in Episode 1, he's introduced as the god of wine and madness. And yet the second part isn't used at all 🤣. Feels like a decoration rather than the core part of his mythological character.

Also, Dionysus isn't insignificant. He had a whole journey proving his worth, traveling, expanding his cult. I'd understand Hera calling him that (in his youth, before he helped her with Hephaestus), but Zeus ? No !

Zeus values his son, he even trusted him to go to India and make them believe in the gods. He saved his son twice if we count Orphism, then enthrusted Hermes to hide him from Hera. Because Zeus can be a good father at times, yk ? 😂. He's not a horrible demon, just a representation of kings.

Coming back to Dionysus, in my mind he's a fun guy 50% of the time... and a menace to society the other 50%. And a free spirit with zero limit 100% of the time.

Also, where are the maenads and satyrs ? Why is he alone ?? He has a big following !!! I'd feel like in his moments of doubt, he'd ask Silenus or hang out with them.

Finally, him helping Orpheus is hilarious considering that

1. Orphism. Orpheus should have recognized him instantly.

2. Orpheus dies dismembered by maenads. In a way, Dionysus DID help Orpheus to reunite with his wife, huh 😂😂 ?

The scene where he and another guy made love in the toilet reminded me of the Prosymnus myth... that comes from veeeeeeeery late sources. Idk how to feel about it. I would have preferred him to show his might as a god.

(plus I don't like sex scenes in general. Yeah, I had to skip these parts 😅.)

More about my opinion on this version of Dionysus here :

Global conclusion

Idk I'm mixed about this. I don't like how they handled most of the mythological depictions, but independently, it was kinda enjoyable. Some scenes are fun independently from the myth.

I don't have a lot to say about the plot : interesting for an original show, stupid for a mythology adaptation (wth is that prophecy ?).

I think I'll keep watching the show, just to laugh a bit 🤣.

Btw seeing how they handled the couples, I'm glad characters like Odysseus/Penelope, Perseus/Andromeda didn't appear 😅. I'm betting they'd be portrayed as misogynistic cheaters or smth.

And Penelope or Andromeda as women who hate their husbands and have no common characteristics with their myth versions.

[a-court-of-moonlight-and-ire]

Some of you have probably noticed that I havent made a liveblog post in a while. Well, thats because I usually read on the bus and during my classes and then I come home and summarize my thoughts on the 2-5 chapters I read after theyve marinated in my head for a little while, but unfortunately i appear to be incapacited at the moment so I cant do that. But because its been weeks and I dont wanna forget anything and I would very much like to finish this series soon, I'll try to read at home sometimes from now on. Since my brain is still a lil mush Im gonna do what I did for my last post, which is write down what Im thinking as Im reading instead of summarizing all my thoughts retroactively, except this time I have my german copy on hand so if I want to quote something it'll be a translation

Anyway, with all that said, welcome to my twisted mind, please enjoy my thoughts on A Court of Mist and Fury Chapters 40

Chapter 40

Ive been wanting to say this for a while now but i kept forgetting, but they translated 'winnowing' as 'den Wind spalten' ['splitting the wind'] and that is objectively so much cooler, shoutout to my gal Alexandra Ernst for that

Feyre being like "ugh, its so pathetic how these human guards think they could stand a chance against even one of us" hurts me so much you guys what have they done to my girl

Once again, its apparently perfectly fine if Rhysand doesnt tell Feyre anything "because she never asked" but if Tamlin doesnt tell her anything when she never asked hes the devil

Also once again, Feyre is perfectly not-triggered at Mor wearing a scarlet dress

Idk how to explain this, but Rhysand saying that Feyre is wearing a golden crown because "she looks so good with it, how could he not give her one" is somehow the perfect encapsulation of the hollowness of her High Lady title

Oh, of course three of the queens only showed up to watch the other two talk, itd be too hard to write dialogue if they actually participated in this important conversation

hello???? Feyre referring to humans as "your kind" ??? wth is going on

"every side bears some blame" hey rhysand ive got a question for ya. which side enslaved the other again

everytime the oldest queen does anything the prose feels the need to remind me of how old and wrinkly she is and its like, i get it, shes OLD

The oldest queen is spitting so hard rn, Im not even gonna question how they heard of the night court when Feyre, who lived closest to Prythian for many years, didnt know anything aout the individual courts prior to getting there herself, Im just gonna put her whole little monologue here: "Oh? [...] The High Lord of the Night Court asks that we join him so that we can save lives together? Fight for peace? And what about the lives that you have taken during your long, despicable existance? What about the High Lord who shrouds himself in darkness and destroys the mind of those who stand in his way? [...] We have heard of you on the continent, Rhysand. We have heard of what the Court of Night is capable of, what you do to your enemies. Peace? I wouldn't have thought that you - a man who enslaves the minds of others and kills them out of pure enjoyment - even know that word."

Anyway, she was spitting absolute bars and Feyre gets super mad about it and almost commits arson but manages to reign herself in and its like girlie, why are you so upset? one of the first things we find out about the night court in this book is that they apparently indiscriminately kill (or atleast torture) anyone who crosses the night court border without permission like theyre the fucking us government, i think the bad reputation is justified

Forgive me if I sound callous, but I have absolutely no sympathy for Rhysand flinching at the mention of Amarantha when Feyre didnt even use her name and is also talking about how she fucking DIED AT HER HANDS

God, I feel like I have something to say about every single line this post is gonna be like 10 thousand words long by the time Im done

So lets take it from the top; Feyre tries to convince the mortal queens to give them the half of the book by recounting to them how much everyone suffered under Amarantha and how she was gruesomely beaten to death and then revived, which is not a compelling argument to me, who actually witnessed all of that, much less these queens who have barely any context for anything shes saying right now

The oldest queen is like "you dont know anything about anything" which is true what the fuck does Feyre know about whats going on in the human world or even the fae world at large, and then Rhysand growls "dont you dare talk down to her!!" because shes passionate and speaking from the heart or whatever and its like, okay, shes still not good at politicking or even just basic negatioation and shes talking to a seasoned politician who old as fuck

Like, if Feyre was actually smart, she wouldve long since realized that she couldnt convince these queens to protect this little slip of land right up to prythians border and been like "okay, you dont wanna protect the land, but can you atleast organize an evacuation so you can atleast save the people" Sure, they definitely still wouldnt have agreed to that because its a sjm book and theyre written to be comically evil, but it would atleast demonstrate Feyre being a little savvy, because right now all we're getting is her being stupid and stubborn in a situation where she really cant afford that

god, im just now noticing how pissed off I am, its been bleeding into my commentary and its not gonna stop, Im sorry. wait no, if youre reading this youre probably looking for negativity, so youre welcome, actually

Anyway, Rhys also says that Feyre is a kindhearted soul looking out for people who cant defend themselves even though she definitely thought that those human guards were pathetic for wanting to defend themselves when she and the other fae were soooooo much more powerful and he definitely knows that because the mental bond is fully open during this meeting and he chastises the queens for being selfish and cowardly when its like, my brother in christ you are doing the exact same bullshit, but atleast the queens are defending a wholeass continent while hes defending one (1) city. and iirc that city ends up getting attacked and destroyed anyway so good job my guy

Theres something so oddly biblical about the story Mor is telling about Miriam, down to her name being Miriam

That island thats removed from time is such bullshit istg

Is it just me or have these bozos not actually explained what they even need the other half of the book for. theyre just like "we need to stop this war and we'd like peace between humans and fae" and its like cool, hows the book gonna help with that though

im sorry, feyre wants to punch that old woman in the face????

the chapter ends with Elain being like "I hope they burn in hell" and i get that, they just straight up said that they want to abandon a whole bunch of people (them included) to die if a war breaks out, but you cant say that the night court girlies are not also at fault for being so fucking bad at politics

[squipspace]

Hello ! friendly neighborhood Zallia here. I'm in need of dire assistance. I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around the concept of "blue-raspberry"?

I've been having this dilemma since the first time i drank a blue raspberry gatorade in the first grade. Granted, I have a taste deficit, so maybe this is just user error, but the flavor Blue-Raspberry, makes no sense to me, and I've been trying to figure it out for so long, I'm probably going insane. Every single time I have something Blue-Raspberry favored, i have to sit and think about all of my life choices up to this moment. Like, wth even is blue raspberry? why did they need to make blue raspberry? why is such an identifiable flavor despite it not even being a real flavor?

so, my first confusion, and probably the biggest, is why is it called blue raspberry? first of all, 'blue' isn't a flavor. a color doesn't have taste, unless i'm eating crayons, or an orange. And I could see this being a thing like "white grapes" or "red cherries" but the name isn't a flavor, its describing the thing i'm eating. okay, so, maybe it's just saying the flavor is raspberry, but blue. Well, it can't be that, because it doesn't actually taste like raspberries?!? every time i have a raspberry, they're a little tart, and don't have much flavor. however, blue raspberry is sweet, and tastes like im tasting pure artificial flavoring. so if it doesn't taste like regular raspberries, why is it called blue RASPBERRY. maybe this is just me, but i've also never seen a BLUE raspberry? so it cant taste like a blue raspberry!? i honestly don't even know what blue raspberry tastes like. which leads me into my second point.

what does blue raspberry even taste like? it's such a well known and recognizable flavor, that describing something that tastes like blue raspberry, is just saying it tastes like blue raspberry? whenever im eating or drinking something blue raspberry flavored, i have literally no idea what im consuming. i'm honestly convinced i'm consuming drugs. but i dont understand how its a flavor, if blue raspberry isn't real? My conclusion is that the flavor of blue raspberry is just a paradox. i dont know what chemicals im consuming, but it tastes like blue raspberry. but it isnt blue raspberry.

lastly, the blue part seriously confuses me, im back to this, because, like, seriously wtf does blue taste like? why is that a part of the flavor? were they high on drugs while creating blue raspberry flavoring? i only taste colors when i'm high as fuck. blue isnt a word you can use to describe flavor. and if it's just to describe the color of the thing i'm eating, then it truly isnt a flavor. but if you remove the blue adjective of the flavor, it's just raspberry, and as i said previously, it doesn't taste like raspberry.

blue raspberry is literally the most confusing thing in the world, artificial flavors are confusing in general, but blue raspberry is the worst because its so recognizable. like, if im consuming blue raspberry, i KNOW i'm consuming blue raspberry. and yet i dont even know what blue raspberry is, blue raspberry only exists in blue raspberry flavoring. what kind of chemicals am i putting in my body? does blue raspberry keep the human inner monsters at bay? does the first time you consume blue raspberry prevent humans from gaining the super powers that they were originally supposed to develop? is it spyware created by the government?

it isnt real, but it is real. does blue raspberry come from another universe? is it some top secret genetically mutated raspberry? i seriously need answers.

Blue raspberry paradox. i'm losing my mind. what is blue raspberry??!?

also why can i taste it despite not being able to taste most foods? wtf is up with blue raspberry?

also hello. how are you?

Hello. Blue raspberry was created as a result of there being too many red flavors to distinguish between properly. There aren't many blue fruits found in nature, and so blue was chosen. As for why it doesn't taste like raspberry, most artificial fruit flavors often do not taste like their inspiration. Watermelon is a good example.

As for the reason you are able to taste it despite not being able to taste most foods, I assume it's because of its strong aroma and rather tart flavor.

As for your last question, I am doing rather well. Thank you.

MY DARLING DOLLS 44

PREVIOUS || PT8 CH44 || NEXT

"heyyy do you guys wanna go to the beach?" The old tojou ask so suddenly on day. You stared at him oddly.

"Why so sudden?" You mumble confuse.

"I felt like it." He laughs and you cannot help but face palm.

"By the way, do you remember my name?" He gives you a very teasing smile.

"...no." you sigh as you realize his daughter probably told him about it.

"that's very concerning you know? You forgot a lot of stuff those years. Even so you don't seems to change or age." He pointed out as he seat across you.

"People who likes you have horrible taste to be honest." He laughs.

"Your daughter likes me." You pointed out and he gives you a nasty look. You laugh at his response as you did you heard the door sliding open. You look up to see Kanata surrounded by fluffy creature.

"[ Old man] I'm going to 'turn' your [ demon spawn ] into a 'doll'" he declared with a wide smile. He seems to be disturbed by the little miss again to be called that again.

"Geez. What did she do again?" The old tojou sigh as he too realize this a normal encounter with those two.

"She was being 'rude' and ' annoying' saying I'm 'fake' and only 'human' can be with a 'human'." He walks toward the garden sliding door to close it but there's a fast footstep running toward the room and someone who's soaking wet cat appear, and it was the young lady.

"YOU! YOU FAKE!"

"ah... The 'annoyance' is here." Kanata smiles that isn't a smile as he stared in disgust at young lady. "My dollmaker, do you wanna see 'magic'?" He ignore her to stare at you who's going to get some towel for the wet cat of the estate.

"Ah? Ok." Your interested on what he means by magic when he point at the pond that was in the backyard. "My fishy friends attack thee fiend!" He then point at the young lady.

There was nothing for a moment which was an awkward silent as you rub the wet hair of the young lady but then you hear something.

"huh...?" You look at the pond out of curiosity and eyes stares back at you. "Huh? Waaa--" the water went up and many fish all fly out and all fin slapped everyone in sight.

"WTH." You cover up but you start to chuckle how interesting it is. "Wow!" You stared at the flying fish before you hear a scream and look behind you and saw the young lady being over thrown by the flying fish

The scene seems fun and all, even through the old tojou question how does that work but he seen stuff to not ask it out loud.

[ something have come up...] You heard ritsu voice mumble before you were unable to move or speak.

.

.

"retribution~" kanata chuckle before walking toward you, his smile turn into worry when he stares at you.

"What's wrong, my dollmaker?" He ask you when seems to be frozen in place. Before your shadow pour out and circle around you yet Kanata already run toward you to hug you.

"I'll go with you..." He smiles without care where you two might go too. Soon, You two disappear into the shadow, out of sight.

.

.

.

.

.

When you open your eyes you found yourself in the same place where you and ritsu chatted before. But the place seems distorted for a moment.

"ah ..you brought someone with you..." He stared at Kanata who wave at him. "Oh it's one of Sakuma... But there's already two Sakuma.... " He seems confuse about it. "Hello, hello~" he greets him either way.

"...in some reality. You two were a couple." Ritsu pointed out one of the tales he sees. A story about an alternative world where there's Kanata who is a slime and meet you, become an item and live a fairly not that dramatic life.

"Hmm? 'Some Reality' ... Little Sakuma... You most have seen a lot of things. " Instead of questioning what the other know beyond the world you all are in, he just laugh and clap his hand in Glee.

"what's the problem ritsu?" You wonder what's the problem to begin with. Honestly you were surprised what he just did. Kinda cool.

"... something seems to change in the setting..." He mumbles as he look at Kanata and you. "Hmm... Anyway, either works for me." He is too lazy to point out what he notice.

"Ah. Also. There's people who finally give a fuck about you not aging." He finally says. "Burn the witches a they say." Giggling as he can't wait to see how you'll fix that mess.

Maybe he stayed far too long to that twisted place, or his just annoyed with you again.

[striveattemptfail]

i know this is very much just me over thinking things and i'm 99.99% sure this will never get touched on.....

...........BUT!!!

1) "SNORING PHONE PRO" -- LOL i wonder if this was kylie's (the typesetter's) idea to name lex's bitchass phone/company. he's a total snooze, i agree LMAO 😂😂

however, and more importantly, 2) wth kinda app is this???

there's so much questionable info this screen reveals?? omg:

obviously, it controls the blue kryptonite lasers in the president's office (which is a WHOLE other thing i could talk about, but i digress bc i wanna focus on this app)

"guest profile" -- implies that this is an app/service that isn't exclusive to the president, and implies that it's popular enough to be used by its clients that they need to differentiate between guest logins vs regular users

"synced with active tracking" -- tracking what exactly?? yes, the lasers in the president's office, but "guest" implies that other people can control presumably other things with it. so what else can it track???

"execute process" -- what process??? again, yes kryptonite lasers, but what exactly on those lasers?? what else can/does it process???

literally what on earth is this app???? what product/service is it?? why is there a large enough clientele to manage guest and returning users (one of whom is america's billionaire president)?? why/how does it control kryptonite lasers and how tf did lex get that installed into the gd white house??

i have so many questions???????

i'm fairly certain no one but me cares about this but what can i say other than i am obsessive and picky ¯\_🥴_/¯

[eggtargaryenii]

RIP to the guy getting eaten by the crabs getting crushed by Daemon's dragon. I hate how painfully interesting Otto is because this man makes me want pick my cuticles like Alicent. Otto sucks hard but his brother seems as if is...a hmmm...huge factor of how Otto ended up as *gestures to Otto* like that.

It's also interesting seeing how Alicent seemed to be trying to get along with Rhaenyra because I only knew about them being on bad terms in the current timeliness.

They did make a few interesting wardrobe choices in episode three. Like I don't think Rhaenrya is fully decked out in red until she gets named heir in episode 1, and our first appearance of Alicent in episode 3 as Queen is her in red, which makes sense bc of Targaryen colors, but I still find it really interesting that the most powerful "Targaryen" women are only seen in that particular shade at arguable the "height" lf their power? Like Alicent is seen in the dress on Aegon's nameday, which many presume to eventually be Viserys' heir. Like the way Alicent continues to wear red throughout the episode just grabs at the audience's eyes first. It's really visually telling us that we should be focusing on Alicent and Rhaenyra...me thinks

Also, Jason Lannister is....unpleasant. Cristen Cole joking about killing Jason Lannister is wild as hell. He goes insane, but I'm wary of him because of your warning. There's no way what he does is that bad right? Like....he's so pretty.

ALSO WTH, VISERYS, YOU ARE THE KING. WHY ARE YOU LIKE HOLDING STAG POO????? HUHHHHHHHH. I'm also dissatisfied with Viserys bc of his inaction against the Stepstones and bc of Otto, BUT, MY MAN STANDS UP FOR RHAENYRA AND DEFENDS HER AGAINST JASLN LANNISTER. LIKE, YUHHHHHHHHH! He may be a mid king but he's trying as a father!!! (For Rhae-Rhae, RIP aegon and aemond tho). He is way better than Otto because Viserys is actually trying to make Rhaenyra happy while Otto is sending his daughter to like....a man more than double her age for the crown. Viserys, I love you for laughing at Otto trying to marry Rhaenyra to Aegon. You a real one. Also, Viserys, drinking so much is relatable, like I, too, would drink if I had to deal with court and the politics.

Dear god, Viserys' actor is crazy. His monolpgue about his dream is so powerful. Like one of my favorite scenes so far. I do wonder how much this scene plays through alicent's mind in the future tbh.

Rhaenyra seeing the White Stag and choosing to spare it is also a really good scene. Rhaenyra also just walking into camp covered in blood was iconic; she shall forever be famous.

Alicent Hightower honestly just has the worst job in the world. I wish she was free from all this bs. In another world, she yeeted to another place and is just overall way happier than she is in the keep.

Also dkhfjdjd Laenor is my favorite, "how have you served on the council besides as the Master of Complaints?"

Daemon is off the rails bc kenfndjf why did he beat up the messenger dkhdjdjfjdjfjf. Don't shoot the messenger, please 😭😭😭. Daemon is some other type of petty though. My man would rather risk death and get eaten by crabs than admit he's fumbling the stepstones. He is such a drama queen, please. I love him he's skeevy, smelly, and petty.

laenor saving Daemon's ass is amazing. I knew I was right to like him. He's like a teenager driving a car the first time the way he be yelling dracarys.

Tldr; vizzy k somewhat redeemed. I'm team black despite my affinity for crazy with Aemond, and Daemon is fueled by spite lmao. ALSO, IM TEAM LAENOR. He needs to live a long life

"Daemon is some other type of petty though. My man would rather risk death and get eaten by crabs than admit he's fumbling the stepstones. He is such a drama queen, please. I love him he's skeevy, smelly, and petty." HRFJFHSSJSH LMAO I literally love ur daemon commentary every time u send a live reaction... laenor being like a teenager driving a car also sent me like YEAH TRUE 😭 actually now I wonder why rhaenys didn't show up in any of those stepstones war scenes.... she and meleys are seasoned war vets!!!!

IM SO FASCINATED BY YOUR DRESS COMMENTARY!! I wasn't paying a ton of attention to the show while watching it tbh so I didn't notice any of that re: when the Targ colours are worn most prominently!!!! I wonder how the green dress scene landed for u... do let us know!!!!!

I honestly feel you so much re: Otto like I haaaate him LMAO but he truly is one of the best written characters on the show 😔 literally one of the few who consistently displays evidence of brain cells. VIZZY WAS BORN TO DREAM FORCED TO RULE. re: how much this is relevant to alicent in the future though.... I won't say anything except that I love reading all your speculations LOL u are a much more astute viewer than I was 💀

IM KINDA SHOCKED THAT YOU'RE TEAM BLACK !!! I'd be very curious to see if that'll change as you get closer to S2 🧐 TEAM LAENOR IS SO REAL THO I do enjoy every scene he's in ...... an icon

The Adventures of Chad Heartbreaker

Chad has the villainous valentine aspiration and he also wants to see how many babies he can have along the way.

I mean, look at this guy. He's such a Chad

So Chad successfully completed the seven dates in seven days event and is now a 3 star celebrity. So far he has mostly used his celebrity to pick up women.

Getting the "Get caught cheating" part of the aspiration was not difficult to get given his lovers kept randomly just showing up at his penthouse.

I don't remember what he did here, but I'm sure he deserved it. Look I'm sorry for getting you pregnant and never calling you again.

The breaking up 10 couples, on the other hand, is proving to be more difficult. For example, Bella refused to break up with Mortimer twice so he dumped her and immediately went over and dip kissed Judith Ward. WTH man?

(And yes, Bella's baby bump is Chad's fault)

And speaking of Judith... I have a theory that this guy...

is actually the secret love child of Judith Ward. Just look at that funky jawline compared Judith's and her aged up daughter...

(Judith had retired from acting to be an author so I gave her a bit of a makeover.)

"Um, Chad, why does it say the left side of your bed is assigned to Judith Ward?"

"Don't worry about it babe."

So he is up to 9 children by 8 different women. He's completed the "get caught cheating 10 times" part of his aspiration but he still needs to have 2 more exs and to break up 8 more couples... This man is a menace to society. He is now engaged to Judith Ward and is going to slow down a little to focus on his own acting career, but he and Judith have an open relationship so he probably isn't ready to settle down just yet (mainly I just wanted to move into a mansion....) Also, I know it's not super easy to see, but Judith named one of the girls "Miracle" and if that isn't a celebrity coded name I don't know what is.
