#y’all may exist but you aren’t real

[rongasm]

Remember that nothing post the original canon of anything has to be canon unless you want it to be.

[jbdforspence]

Rmember when I made like SCU headcanons or some shit (Smosh Cinematic Universe)? Well some of y’all really liked that and I’m getting chosen lore brainrot after the live so I’m making another for purely chosen lore 🥰🥰

Disclaimer: these are all my headcanons, unless I like say or some shit all of this is being made up in my brain because I think it’s cool or whatever, don’t take this as fact at all but like u can also headcanon what I’m saying bro idk 💀😭😭

Bro my ass essentially made my own fucking story or fanfic plot or whatever 😭😭😭

Also this shit is a long ass ramble so if u don’t wanna bother just be known one of the headcanons is that Shayne and Spencer’s chosen are in a purely romantic relationship ❤️ (SOMEONE BETTER MAKE A FANFIC OF THEM)

Okay… so getting the most important chosen thing out of the way, chosen is not bullshitting, the chosen all have real powers and shit and are from different dimensions, doesn’t mean they aren’t also loser awkward virgins though they’re still that but just are also powerful Jedi mfs lmao

Now for the next one I’m gonna use into the spiderverse as a good example. All dimensions have a Spider-Man, however not all Spider-Man are Peter Parker, while he still exists in some of those dimensions, like Gwen’s.

So, all dimensions have a chosen, however there are different chosen in different dimensions (if the chosen is played by a different cast member it’s not the same chosen, except mb Olivia’s we’ll get to that 💀) and a person who is chosen in one dimension won’t be chosen in another. Let’s use the chosen who faps, that chosen is that dimension’s Chanse, in that dimension Chanse is chosen.

Now you may IMMEDIATELY be thinking abt the main chosen, Shayne Topp and the chosen are from the same dimension. Well this is my most controversial headcanon, Shayne’s chosen is NOT from our dimension. But then who is our dimension’s chosen? ANTHONY PADILLA.

Anthony was a chosen, but then fapped or something (I have faint memories of the funeral roast) and is like calamity chosen and shit and no longer chosen. This is what attracted Shayne’s chosen to our dimension, as an incredibly powerful chosen he was drawn to this dimension as it completely lacked any chosen.

Oh yh and u may be thinking “but the main chosen’s name is Spencer Agnew… so he’s not Shayne Topp…” you think your parents are gonna give you the same name in every dimension buddy? You might not even have the same parents!

Anyways main chosen is stunned by our world as to how unchosen it is (normalised gooning) and comes here a bunch to try and change that, he also looks for some form of way to get his presence known on some kind of public platform, which is where smosh/smosh Vegas comes into play. (Where he was first introduced)

This is now a side headcanon: Smosh Vegas was this event hosted by Smosh to get unknown talent onto the channel to have their chance at possible success in some form of entertainment route for their future, which is where all these new characters (a lot of which we never see again coz it was for just that event and they didn’t gain much traction or popularity or whatever, bleeding into real life here). Smosh mostly picked weird and wacky individuals, think like reality tv show casting 💀, so the chosen most obviously got accepted onto Vegas.

Now I have not fact checked this but I’m pretty sure the chosen was the only character introduced in Vegas who came back afterwards, he was also one of the few in more than one video. I’d say he found success in entertainment, the audience loved him he could’ve gone on to do his own thing and shit, but he stayed with Smosh.

This is where my headcanons start to get really silly and in fanfic territory or whatever. Why did the chosen stay with Smosh? Well it’s a great public outlet for getting his ideas out there, they (us) loved him! But he also stayed due to other reasons. The chosen knows about Anthony, that’s why he’s here in the first place of course he knows what happened. But Anthony was long gone and presumed never coming back when the chosen came, so staying at smosh because of Anthony would be a stupid idea.

No, there was something else at smosh… SOMEONE. Charles Spencer Agnew, more commonly known as Spencer Agnew. They had almost the exact same name while not being variants of each other, the chosen couldn’t think that was just due to coincidence!! He believed it was some kind of sign and decided to stay to investigate what it meant. This is also why the chosen and Spencer are in heaps of vids together (…early on at least 👀)

Okay so now we’ve gotten the silly origin story out of the way and this is already like the longest post I’ve ever made 😭😭😭

The chosen begins to host Chosen Multiverses. This is a common chosen practice to see which chosen are strongest, the chosen just decided to start hosting it in our dimension as 1. Public platform and 2. This universe has no chosen so 5 chosen being there benefits.

An important part about these competitions!!! I believe this is canon coz it was mentioned once, when you win a chosen multiverse you are upgraded to “the chosen” over just being “chosen”, meaning Shayne, Spencer, Ian and Angela’s chosen are all the chosen.

Anyways here’s the silly part that’s inspired this and has ao3 vibes. The first multiverse is where we meet Spencer, Jackie and mb Courtney’s (idk if they did a tntl bit first but oh well!) chosen for the first time. Also Noah who thankfully canonically doesn’t have a chosen as he’s actually some merch ad and not a real chosen 😘.

Main chosen is truly stunned by Spencer’s chosen… as they are equal in power. Main chosen has never come across anyone close to his power, which is also why Spencer’s chosen comes back all the time. Now we also already established that Shayne and Spencer’s chosen are NOT THE SAME PERSON, and are variants of their respective cast members. So this brings us to the main headcanon for why I made this:

Shayne and Spencer’s chosen are romantically attracted to one another and have a purely romantic relationship.

Now the chosen is canonically not asexual (Shayne said in a Lego stream), I’m not here to headcanon sexuality stuff but I do agree with this and they’re constantly battling their urge to fap and shit coz of their Jedi duty .

Anyways the chosen already isn’t straight coz he canonically sucked Tim’s dick in the matrix (don’t ask) so when u think abt it not very far fetched ❤️

Anyways this brings us to the actual fuckinng livestream Jesus I’m so sorry for the LENGTH of this ramble

If you remember the trailer, it starts as Anthony hitting his head and having a “dream sequence”. Guys let me cook with this next one cos I’m proud lowkey: as Anthony is a chosen anomaly, he still kinda has powers, and the whole sitcom is a micro dimension created by Anthony’s brain after his accident that 3 chosen venture into to contain and eliminate it from existence. This is also why they kinda break the 4th wall in the script and stuff and almost spectate the whole live because they are aware that it’s fake.

Not really too sure what to think of the weed thing btw 💀 anyways yh so chosen!shayne x chosen!spencer canon plsplsplsssss

Also they’re teaching Trevor’s chosen btw that’s why the bring him (yet to be ready for a multiverse, which also btw I was 100% expecting him to be in this years multiverse, like I was thinking the lineup would be him and Arasha over Spencer and Courtney) and Shayne and Spencer’s chosen are dealing with it coz they’re the most powerful.

Uuhhh yeah cool so sorry u had to read all that lmao I probably missed some stuff like loopholes or whatever, I’d love to answer questions in the comments in shit so yh!

Ps: someone make a fucking fanfic of chosen Spencer and chosen Shayne PLEASE

Oh yh I also forgot to mention normal Spencer chosen by proxy and Olivia’s chosen but oh well they weren’t important…

[sweetie-peaches]

Not to come off as rude sorry if this does just want to explain my understanding of the situation. I think the whole post is stating that hes not homophobic just that. Words and actions hurt regardless if he's gay or not and it's incredibly jarring to hear him make light of it and have no one seemingly push back on it. I'm likening it to like if a friend calls you loser or worthless as a joke because they dont actually think those things of you but if you have a history of being bullied with those words it can still sting ?

I’m CRYING I made such a well worded response to this and discord DELETED IT

Anyway, here’s the thing.

I understand why some people might by put off by his humor. Sure that’s, fair, whatever. In my opinion kinda, nevermind not stating my opinion

But, I feel like I have to remind everyone once a fucking gain that the qsmp members are adults and problems can be solved IN PRIVATE if there’s any problems at all AND THEY DONT NEED FANS COMING TO SWOOP IN AND ‘PROTECT’ THEM FROM BIG BAD SCARY TUBBO LIKE THEY ARE INFANT DAMSELS IN DISTRESS

I think that’s an issue with the qsmp fandom as a whole. Y’all act like the cc’s just, don’t interact off stream? Don’t talk at all? Don’t you think by now, anyone would say anything about it if there’s an issue?

And here’s another thing, you aren’t tubbos friend. It might be hard to think that, but you aren’t, im not.

And on that train of thought, isn’t it important to reclaim those jokes? Genuine homophobes use those words against us, can’t we use the same jokes?

And why does it feel like if this was anyone else you wouldn’t have a problem? I’ll get shit for being a toxic tubbling and such a hater and blah blah blah but. Fucking seriously, would it be a problem if anyone else said this stuff? Why do I get the feeling y’all were looking for a reason to “cancel” Tubbo (because let’s be real that’s what this is. You may claim not to be Twitter and so much better, but you still pull the same shit. Be fucking for real)

And don’t even get me started on how you treat tubblings. How fucking disgusting it is.

Because I love getting called stupid for existing on this god forsaken app everyday. I love being called annoying, toxic, rude.

I fucking love it. /sarcasm

Some of you in the qsmp fandom make better bullies then you do people actually participating in a fandom.

It’s funny how you’ll insult and bully us but then turn back and bitch and moan about how toxic we are and how we hurt you and your traumatized now and

Yeah fuck it I don’t care if this makes me seem toxic, I don’t fucking care. I am an aid in a pre-K classroom and I’ve seen more mature TODDLERS then some of the people here.

A Note to Jumblr and my Jewish Followers:

Hey y’all! I see some of you tagging reblogs of my posts responding to antisemitic messages I receive with the tags Jewish Blocklist and Antisemitic/Antisemite Blocklist.

First of all, no shame there! Please feel free to keep doing this and whatever else you need to do to protect your own mental health as well as to your provide tips to our peers and allies about people worth steering clear of!

Second, I do not and will not have a Jewish Blocklist or an Antisemitic/Antisemite Blocklist. I hate blocking people I disagree with. I do try to live by the axiom: “We make peace with enemies, not friends.” And I do think that a lot (not all) of these people will, with the benefit of hindsight, be horrified at how they behaved during this time. Or at least ashamed of expressing such thoughts publicly. Some may be living with legitimate mental conditions like psychosis and mania that can absolutely lead to rigid and conspiracy-based thinking. None of this excuses violence or bigotry or antisemitism. And none of this invalidates your absolute right to block whoever you wish for any reason.

Which brings me to my third point: I don’t want to block people, because I want to track how they behave in the future. That could be four months from now. Six months. A year. Two years. Right now, the fighting between Israel and Palestine is active and brutal. Many antisemites are just using this flair up to justify their pre-existing antisemitic views. I doubt much will change for them. But many people had little to no awareness of the I/P conflict before the 10/7 attack and have been swept up in QAnon-like conspiracy theories. I don’t really expect them to address their hatred or how they allowed themselves to become radicalized extremists while the Hamas propaganda machine is still able to twist every development from the ongoing struggle to grow their support. But active warfare is unlikely to last an extremely long time. Tensions and hatred? Sure. That’s here to stay for a while, but official warfare and bombings from Israel are not likely to continue for years on end without stopping. (Hamas has been continuously bombing Israel for a long time and I expect them to continue even after a peace agreement is reached)

So when Israel’s assault ends, I’m sure the peace agreement reached will fall short of what Palestinians are hoping for and what I as a pro-Palestinian activist am hoping for. And I’m sure Palestinian civilians who endorse Hamas and those who do not endorse terrorism of any kind as well as Israelis and Jews who support Palestinian self determination will all be generally unhappy with whatever temporary solution is reached this time. No true, real progress will occur until everyone fighting over which “side” is “right” shifts their focus to instead cooperatively fight for peace for all.

But after the initial wave of anger and disappointment in the terms of the peace treaty are reached, people will go back to not caring at all about the lives of Israelis or Palestinians or Jews or even thinking about it at all on a regular basis.

And when that occurs, I want to revisit these blogs. When the tension is no longer at a constant rolling boil, I want to see how the worst antisemites I’ve encountered reconcile their behavior during this time with their behavior during peacetime. I want to see how the people who told me to kill myself or told me they wished for me and everyone I love to die in the “most painful way possible” feel about Jews when they aren’t hiding behind the idea of activism. I want to see how these people actually support Palestine when Gaza is no longer being bombed. I want to see how the antisemites relationships with the Jewish friends they claim to have recover or do not recover after the things these antisemites have said and done during a time of extreme danger and aggression toward Jews. I want to ask them if they still mean the things they said. I want to ask them if they have regrets. And most importantly I want to ask them how they plan to avoid causing harm to Jewish people and how they plan to learn about Jewish history and culture so that they can avoid antisemitism in the future when the poorly negotiated and doomed-to-fail peace agreement falls through next time. And I cannot do that if I block them.

So instead, if you want to block the people who have been most heinous to me, you will find them under the tag Antisemites To Remember.

I have had to block a few people from those tags when their continued hatred became too intense and continued even after I disengaged, but I have truly aimed to avoid blocking as many people as possible.

Hope this helps. Sending love and solidarity to you all.

[pattern-recognition-hypotheses]

This has been on my mind a lot, and every trans fem person I’ve said it to has realized they do struggle with this, so I’m going to share here.

Posting here because I expect this to piss some people off & don’t want it directly associated with my main.

I’ll make this as anonymous as possible, because some of it began from a conversation with an in-person/IRL friend whom I’m living with, & I don’t want to expose them. But apart from that piece of context, I’ll address the general trans community, especially our trans fem siblings & sisters (& any other term y’all may prefer).

Also getting this out of the way up front, I am trans myself. I am not speaking from outside the trans community, though I am speaking from a trans masculine / nonbinary experience.

I have a lot of trans fem friends now (mostly nonbinary, by coincidence), & saw the (often (unfortunately) necessary) assumptions that cis women & AFAB people made/had to make as I grew up. I watched AFAB folks & women assume things about men*, & heard them speak to the horrible things some entitled men did to them. I’ve been listening to my trans fem friends & asking questions about their experience with femininity, & about how men treat them if they pass.

(* though our society makes it necessary (for your own safety & sanity), if you’re AFAB, to assume the worst & hope for the best¹ - I want to make it clear that I’m not invalidating anyone here, especially as someone who had to assume the same things. I’m using the word assume to mean that we didn’t know for certain every single man would be of this type, not that many men weren’t this type)

(¹ not to say men can’t be SAed by other men, or that queer SA doesn’t exist, because it does. I’m simply speaking from my experience here, & speaking to the binary white supremacist patriarchal society we’re trapped in, not trying to speak over folks with queer trauma or to invalidate other people who distrust men)

~~~~

Important Note: I marked this with a community label not because it involves trans people (especially trans fem folks & trans women), but because it explicitly includes sex mentions (having to do with touch starvation & social conditioning). I want to make that clear due to the transphobia online, even from trans masc folks / trans men. Trans woman & trans fem people are not inherently sexual or bad, & don’t need a ‘mature’/sexual warning label.

~

I am probably over-explaining here (all the clarifications above), but I’d rather over-explain than have someone take my post & words to support their transphobic rhetoric. I also want my fellow trans & queer people to feel seen and supported, as much as I am capable of.

Now, onto the pattern I’ve been noticing & starting to share with people.

~~~~

I was talking to my roommate (they/she) about their struggle with finding friends & romantic partners that last. They struggle to make & maintain friendships, & I’m trying to help when requested/desired.

She said “not to support transphobic rhetoric about being unable to escape your assigned gender at birth, but I feel like there’s a biological...something that makes me unable to connect with people the way I want to”. She struggles with sex addiction that she doesn’t want, & they were worried it was inescapable.

With other conversations we’ve had, and with my pattern recognition, I made a leap.

“It’s not biological, it’s social. It’s baked into our [United Statesian] culture.

It’s because [most] assigned-male people in our society aren’t allowed to have platonic affection. If you’re affectionate with men, you’re gay. If you’re affectionate with women, you wanna fuck her or you’re a pervert. Being assigned male means, especially to Christian men, that you crave sex and wouldn’t be affectionate with anyone of any gender if that wasn’t on your mind.”

Most men & AMAB people become sex addicted because it’s the only form of affection they’re allowed to have. They’re told they’re unmanly (a pussy, not a real man, etc.) if they want to be held or to cry, or accused of being gay for holding a man.

They’re affection starved, touch starved. They’re actually craving intimacy, which doesn’t have to be sexual.

That said, tying this back in to trans folks—

Trans women & trans feminine people, especially on HRT but post social transition too, are often pointed out (or even shamed) for having a “hoe phase”. The pattern I see is that this doesn’t just happen because they’re finally being sexualized as their true self, it’s also because they don’t tend to seek out platonic affection &/or don’t think they deserve any.

When I pointed out to my roommate & to another trans fem friend, they broke down crying.

“If I seek out platonic affection, I’m always called a pervert,” my roommate explained. “I don’t feel like I’m allowed to ask.”

I asked how long it’s been since they’ve been platonically held. They thought about it, then came back with something heartbreaking: “I was five. After that, my dad decided it wasn’t cute anymore. ‘That’s little kid shit’. I had affection and then it was ripped away from me.”

I suspect other trans fem folks & trans women have the same struggle. They didn’t get platonic affection at all, or had it ripped away from them at a young age. They were accused of wanting sex if they touched anyone at all. They were attacked with homophobic slurs (faggot, gay, etc. as slurs) or accused of being gay if they reached for a man. They were brushed off as immature, childish, or overly feminine if they wanted platonic affection.

I don’t believe this applies to everyone, but it’s a heartbreakingly high number.

I hope this helps someone like it helped my roommate. She now knows what she wants to search for, and they’re succeeding at finding connections that meet those needs. I hope you can find people who respect your need for affection & offer you platonic affection.

Just like cis women, y’all aren’t sexual toys or objects (without your consent, not kink shaming). You’re people, and your feelings do matter. (/sincere)

And to my fellow trans masc people & trans men, please offer affection to your trans fem friends (don’t force it obv). Let them know they deserve affection.

We can fight this together— we’re stronger together. 💜

This eclipse season had me in a choke-hold and no, not the sexy kind T-T

Go ahead and pick your pile(s) using your favorite method, if you happen to NOT have one then use mine :p

Close your eyes visualize your guides or call on 'em however you do and generate a random number on google. the first number that repeats itself twice or thrice is your pile. You're welcome 🙃

🐾 Pile 1 (left), pile 2 (right), pile3 (below) 🐾

------

Pile 1:

I see a clear theme of intense emotional growth for your pile today. You’ve let go of a lot of unhealthy patterns around your emotions, and if you haven’t, this eclipse season is giving you a HARD TIME. If you’ve been feeling stubborn and having difficulty overcoming old bad habits around your emotions—like not feeling them fully or over-intellectualizing your emotions and thinking in your mind that you’ve felt them 😬—OR ANY habit of this nature, then this eclipse might feel incredibly heavy for you, as it’s trying to get you to feel your feelings. Your subconscious is likely putting up one hell of a fight.

As time progresses (timing may vary for each of you lovely people reading), you may find yourself feeling those dark, anxiety-inducing emotions that aren’t so pretty to sit in. You might end up surrendering to these emotions. On the other side of feeling these feelings, you’ll emerge as an emotionally astute and aligned being, truly in tune with yourself and your real desires—none of that ego stuff, but your REAL desires that you might not have known existed. I hear this is a direct blessing. You unlocked this divine blessing of being aligned with yourself by facing your fears of vulnerability and by allowing yourself to feel your emotions.

You may have been afraid of truly facing yourself, and as a result, fell into patterns of self-avoidance and a subsequent avoidance of life itself. But congratulations, pile 1—you will have broken this toxic learned pattern by the end of the eclipse season!

You’ll find a new path starting to show itself, which will be different from the one you’ve been on so far. This new path seems much lighter and more promising than your current or previous one. It will lead you to further unlock more of your true potential, and therefore, more joy.

I’m so happy for you, pile 1! But I’m also sending you love and light because the road you’ll take to reach this lighter path will be gruesome, to say the least. I’ll be rooting for you :)

Thanks for reading 🫂 See ya!

------

Pile 2:

First of all, before I even begin with the main stuff, y’all are as intuitive as can be! You are very connected with spirit and have done a good job navigating this eclipse, no matter how difficult it may have been.

Your main theme for this eclipse season is the opening of your third eye. Gosh, pile 2, did you feel incredibly ungrounded through this eclipse season? Did you get any sleep at all, or did you sleep way too much? If you did, it was likely a symptom of your third eye opening. This eclipse season would have pushed you to connect with spirit more than usual, and I see you doing this really well. But your physical life might have taken a hit due to the heightened energy around your third eye, so you may have struggled with discipline, routine, or anything mundane. Spirit wants to let you know that this is also a symptom and that it’s temporary. You’ll find your footing in the 3D after the eclipse season is done messing with you

Opening your third eye comes with serious shadow work, though, and I see that you’ve aced it! It must’ve been extremely physically draining and taxing, so rest whenever you can and try to prioritize sleeping well and eating properly. Take care of your physical vessel during this period of intense expansion and transformation. I see you’ve overcome a lot of mental agony and pain around unhelpful beliefs and such. Unhealthy mental patterns have been dealt with! You are currently going through a mental glow-up of sorts, and it feels like stepping into foreign territory since you’ve lived with these beliefs for so long. Now you’re being asked to face your fear of the unknown and sit in the uncomfortable grey area of this transition. Again, this discomfort is fully temporary, so remind yourself of that to increase your resilience during this time. :)

That’s all I have for you, pile 2. Sending you so much love, light, and expansion! You’re doing great, sweetie 🫂

------

Pile 3:

This eclipse has really challenged you to step into your faith in spirit. You might have come face-to-face with your need for control, which could have caused your heart to get blocked. You may have also blocked out your intuition as well. As a result, this eclipse may have brought these issues up and given you a hard time when things didn’t happen according to your plans or how you wanted things to play out. It might have felt like the universe was against you. I’m so sorry, pile 3—it’s not an easy energy to sit in. Your strength may have really been tested, too. You might have felt like there was a shroud of darkness around you, but all the universe was trying to do was get you out of your head and into your heart.

That can be extremely scary and triggering for you (perhaps because of past trauma that you need to look into), which is why you may have felt like pure darkness was surrounding you. Spirit was simply putting you in the energy that needed to be healed—nothing more. By the end of this eclipse season, you will have achieved a beautiful balance between your mind and your heart. You’ll feel more comfortable co-creating with spirit and might even consider dabbling in manifestation methods. Ever heard of Neville Goddard? You might want to look into his work if you’re particularly interested in diving into the world of manifestation. His work unites the mind and the heart in a way that’s easy for most people in the modern world to learn this art.

That’s all I have for you today, pile 3 😁 Sending you loads of love, light, and hope that you find this beautiful balance sooner rather than later ✨️

The Varying Degrees of my Tolerance Levels

I have all the tolerance in the world for people that don’t ship any BTS member.  Seeing Jikook as a couple does take watching BTS content and seeing their progression. Minus GCFT there isn’t just one moment that makes them real, and if you are a hardcore Kpopper you may just simplify things to fan service.  While I disagree with this analysis I tolerate it because it’s ultimately harmless and I can’t force someone to take the time to watch content and see it.

I also have tolerance for the more insecure Jikookers that teeter between believing they are a couple and not for reasons such as not seeing them hanging out as much anymore. These individuals lie at the very edge of my tolerance but they are also harmless and probably very young and don’t understand relationships well. They see Jikook as a trilogy  but since the final volume hasn’t been released yet they suspend belief. 

Who I have ZERO tolerance for are insecure Jikookers that are insecure because of Taekook. I actually struggle to believe these people are Jikookers at All. I’m more inclined to think these are taekookers in disguise because who in their right mind goes from shipping Jikook to taekook???!! There’s literally nothing Romantic about Tae and Jks relationship. They are so obviously just friends that it’s comical to think they’re people existing that think otherwise. Taekook proof is : they hang out with each other! That’s literally it! 

With the plethora of evidence we have from Koreans themselves that they lived together, the numerous sightings of them on couple holidays, them wearing couple outfits, GCFs, Jikooks own words that they are always together,  I can’t see how anyone would then say no Taekook are a couple because they’ve been hanging out more recently ! Like the math isn’t mathing. One doesn’t become a Jikooker-watch GCFT see how JK negatively reacted to JM being busy etc. then look at recent events and think OH MY Tae are friends doing friend things…this must mean Jikook and all that we have must not be real and Tkk must be because we’ve seen that they hang out mostly in groups and they shared a car once…😒 y’all these aren’t insecure jikookers these are taekookers LOL don’t let them fool you! 

I’ve been in this fandom for a very long time. Taekookers are known for lurking on Jikook blogs and accounts and pretending to be harmless insecure jikookers. They even create dummy profiles with the bare minimum of Jimin and JK related post to convince you they are who they say they are but push and prod enough and you’ll discover they are taekookers.

I write this because I just encountered one on my blog! I deleted their comments to some of my post but my gut was telling me this was a taekooker. I went to their blog and like I thought they have 2 Jimin photos posted and 1 jk photo. It was a new account and no bio. Not saying true jikookers don’t lurk, I was once a lurker,  but because I’ve been here for so long my spidey senses were tingling. I could be wrong but I strongly doubt it. They come to our blogs to spread chaos and confusion. For us true jikookers it makes us angry and for those genuinely teetering Jikookers it makes them more insecure bc it makes them feel like they are not seeing something and maybe their perception is what’s off. Don’t listen to them don’t engage them. 

I will engage an outright Taekooker but I will not engage an “jikooker” insecure because of taekook. 9 times out of 10 these are taekookers in disguise coming to our spaces to spread chaos! 

Word to the wise! Every blogger should delete and not engage them! They spread chaos and sew seeds of discontent and it always leads to us bickering amongst ourselves.

I as a person that loves to debate and telling you don’t engage them! You can’t debate a person dishonest about their identity…so delete their comments and asks and move on! 

I have seen this horse and pony show ! Believe me taekookers are losers with no life and are actually so insecure in their ship that they come to our spaces to shut us up because they don’t want to believe taekook is t real and we make too much sense! Delete and don’t engage!

I will delete any comment from what I perceive to be a fake jikooker. I don’t mind disagreements but I have a good eye for snakes and wolves.

[darlin-djarin]

You’re very strange. Sid isn’t a poc, her voice actress is a white woman, and Saw has been portrayed as a negative character before TBB came out, yet y’all sit on this app and use TBB as a scapegoat for deeply rooted racism within Disney that’s been there for 50+ years. If you don’t like TBB bc of all the reasons you say, stop watching Disney shows as a whole. Mind you, one of the main characters of the show you fav so much (Mandalorian) had a GENUINE racist woman on there for two seasons, or let’s speak on Ahsoka which has a transphobic actress playing her. Let’s also remember how John Boyega and Moses Ingram were treated as well. TBB has its own problems, but it’s funny how y’all ignore real world racism with real people.

are you. fucking serious.

first of all, sid does count as a “poc” (the term poc barely exists outside of america and white dominated countries, but what i’m saying is that sid is not the equivalent to a white woman). no alien is white. just because someone’s actor is white doesn’t mean the character, especially since it’s an alien, is white. (not to mention that sid’s characterization is an antisemetic stereotype). hell, pedro pascal considers himself a white latino and din djarin is still a poc character. and yeah saw has been portrayed in a negative view but that’s because everyone else is seen as an angel and all pure and morally correct, while making saw a bad guy for doing things to the extreme, which is absolutely necessary when it’s for the greater good for the rebellion. just because i don’t like tbb doesn’t mean suddenly i can’t enjoy other shows. you sound so fucking stupid right now.

and hey, using the mandalorian against me isn’t gonna work 💀💀 i’ve made my fair share about how racist the show is as well, bringing up bo-katan and her racism (and extremism, but she gets to be celebrated and adored for it, while saw gerrera just gets more racism for it) and how the show uses and discards polynesian culture, which is what mandalorians are based on, to the directors liking. i’ve spoken up a MILLION times about the problems in a million different shows, even my favorites, because just bc i like something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be criticized when something about it may be harmful to real life audiences getting represented (or not represented) that way.

i don’t know anything about ahsoka or her actress so i can’t speak on that, but if you look through my ahsoka posts, i haven’t been exactly praising the show either 💀 i’ve been giving it criticism as well, especially for it’s visuals and it’s choice in actors that were hired.

i don’t “ignore” real world racism, i obviously fucking care about it, since it affects me and so many other people in the world, but this is a star wars blog. i talk about star wars and it’s media and criticize it when i see something wrong with it and i state my opinions. fiction reflects reality, and vice versa, so even if the problems in this fictional show, tbb, aren’t “technically” real, it can still harm real people who watch that and see themselves represented in a bad way or in an inappropriate manner. being represented on screen is something so special and seeing all the racism that goes on in that show is truly fucking awful.

this is why i hate fucking talking about this show. because y’all bad batch supporters are SO quick to defend your show, y’all come into my inbox and talk shit. no one said you can’t enjoy some aspects. but you need to know how this show can harm people irl with the things that happen in it, reflecting upon reality.

Hi!!! Sorry I know you reblogged that DVD fic commentary post like literally last year HOWEVER I have been going insane over your Cinderella!pete fic and (not)imaginary friend tinkly and was hoping you would like to share your thoughts? It’s fine if you don’t I just really love all of your npmd fics!

Hi Hi Hi @sanguineed!!! Sorry this took so long I have SO many thoughts and honestly i apologize if this is NOTHING i truly just infodumped about thought process for like a million words and have no clue if it's anything or even coherent hgkjdflkll

(Cinderella Pete fic link)

(Imaginary Friend fic link)

OKAY SO starting with Cinderella pete:

I’m honestly obsessed with Cinderella aus they’re my one weakness because I’m a big hurt/comfort and fairy tale loser and they are DEEP in that hurt-comfort-fairy-tale sauce, but they’re also a very fun blank slate that you can do SO MUCH WITH

So, honestly, from the second I watched NPMD and the characters burrowed their way deeply into my beautiful mind I had a really bare bones ‘day-dream-a-fic-in-my-brain’ lautski cinderella au that was nothing and I never planned on writing it and then one of the Lautski Week prompts was fairy tale and I rewatched season one of once upon a time (unrelated to the prompt list, i do that like once a year) it very rapidly because A Much More Detailed thing

I didn’t want to just do a normal step-family plot line because then that gets very weird and complicated having to really hone in on the non-existent spankoffski parents and I wanted Ted to be involved, so i just, honestly, fully yoinked Erica from princess and the pauper’s backstory and went ‘okay that works’

AND THEN back to once upon a time (in case y’all aren’t fellow ouat-heads): so in that show rumplestiltskin canonically murders cinderella’s fairy godmother and becomes her new fairy godmother (just, like, much more sinisterly) and that concept is so horrific and fascinating that it has been rotating in my brain since I was nine years old and resurfaced just in time as I was starting this fic

Because I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to have a traditional fairy godmother at first? I was just going to have his friends help him, and then I was like OH! Miss Holloway! Of course! And then tinky slowly rose into view in the middle distance and unfortunately there was NOTHING i could do but make him the fairy godmother stand in (which, thank god, tbh idk if I would have been able to write a substantial enough plot without him there to make things Bad)

It just all worked out SO well in a way I really wasn’t expecting because Steph is a REALLY fun prince(ss) charming! Because she’s Not! Good! At! It! But thats almost entirely because she’s Not! Trying! To! Be!

It’s just very fun to show the contrast between both steph and pete having been born into their roles/titles, and how it affects them/they react to it. Steph’s got way more expectations, and her role is technically more ‘important’ but she resents a lot of the really awful parts and isn’t being supported in the way she should be so of course she’s not the best at it! And on the flip side pete is WAY overqualified for what he has to do and he KNOWS that but there's literally nothing he can do to fix it,,,,, and,,,, they’re gonna kiss,..,.,..

Ughghghh theres so much more about this fic id love to talk about but honestly all the really fun stuff is still coming so I may have to come back to this post so i dont spoil! I do have to say: pete’s about to have such a bad time and then eventually SUCH a good time!

AND THEN YES NON-IMAGINARY FRIEND TINKY!!!! MY BELOVED!!!

I’m honestly so thrilled I was actually able to pull that one into a real fic, because it was just such a fun concept that bonked around in my head for like a week and I was convinced it was gonna stay there. But it didn’t! And you all seem to enjoy it so im very glad!!

Honestly that one stems ENTIRELY from the line in the nmt Yellow Jacket where Lex says she used to be able to see Webby (i thinkkkkkk someone also made a tumblr post about the same thing that wormed it’s way into my brain but i have NOT been able to find it so if someone knows the one Im talking about plssss let me know) and i started to think about the lords in black potentially pulling a webby on their own chosen?

Because Tinky is obsessed with ted, we know this, but theres a HUGE age gap between pete and ted and i think it would be very fun for a tinky to look down at one time line’s ted, whose already eighteen-ish and at best would think he was losing his mind, and try to get to him through his not-yet-born brother,,,,, like it’s so upsetting,,,,, very fun though

I also just REALLY love writing the spankoffski brothers (i’ve got two older siblings, one of whom is significantly older than me, and sibling dynamics are some of my favorites to write) and it was really fun to explore them at the Peak of their age gap. Ted is such an interesting character; he loves his little brother but he’s also an asshole and pretty self-centered so he’s doing a lot right (answering pete’s questions, not caring what Pete wears, trying his best not to swear or upset him) but he isn’t Built for child care so he’s also ignoring pete for his tv show and prone to snap when something that (admittedly is so incredibly fucked up) upsets him gets brought up. 

He’s a guy who works best in extreme situations; he’s the best at being a brother when he’s thrown into action (getting pete out of the road/forcing his parents to get pete help), but he’s not exactly a Bad brother other times,,,, he’s just a dude,,,, just a guy,,,, 

I also kind of wanted to make it unclear if pete Does have low blood sugar episodes or if thats tinky all on his own, because i think playing with the Power Of Belief is a really fun thing in stories like this (can you…. tell i ran essentially an It fandom blog for like three years ghfksl)

So, to break the Pete-tinky belief timeline down (prob unnecessarily but i think it’s fun):

Pete was born and tinky has ALWAYS been there, Pete does not think this is at all weird and also has always known tinky so it would be like suddenly deciding your mom isn’t real– you wouldn’t do it, it wouldn’t even cross your mind

He’s a kid, so everyone humors him and assumes it’s an imaginary friend thing (and his parents are older and old fashioned so even if it sometimes tilted a little farther from conceivable little kid with an imaginary friend territory they’d never EVER assume or mention that it could be something a little more serious/an actual problem)

Any time his voices doubts about people thinking tinky was imaginary tinky 'very logically' explains it as pete just being special, so the only one who can see him, and, once again, he’s always seen and known tinky was there so this makes way more sense then him just NOT BEING REAL

He does something really dangerous, TED specifically forces everyone to actually figure it out, and the only conceivable thing a doctor can find is pete is diabetic, specifically prone to low blood sugar episodes, which can cause hallucinations

Pete is a Very Logical kid, and suddenly a seed of doubt has actually been planted with reasoning

Tinky knows this and Does Not Like it but as it keeps going and he keeps getting more upset and everyone keeps making a plan to deal with pete’s diabetes he’s started to get more and more convinced that tinky might not actually be real

Once he’s more convinced than he isn’t that tinky is a hallucination tinky starts to lose his hold, and once pete starts taking low blood sugar precautions he either creates a block so tinky can ONLY show up to him when his blood sugar is low OR tinky personally fucks with his blood sugar so he can be seen (like a fucked up version of lex with webby- it’s just a far more logic and fact based way of growing out of it/not being allowed to fully see him)

As he grows up he forgets just how convinced he had been that tinky was real and just generally gets used to this weird little quirk of his low blood sugar/fully dreads it

THEN pete goes into the old waylon place and because it���s the main alter for the LIB tinky regains ALL his power and then some over pete/the physical world of the house while inside

That’s where the fic gets to, and honestly probably where it’ll stay, but if i was to write more i think it would sort of waver in the opposite direction time line wise, where pete holds onto the belief that tinky isn’t real for a littttle longer than he probably should, even after he kills max and eventually as doubt really creeps in tinky starts showing up more

THEN OKAY SO the one scene I really wanted to write but couldn’t fit it in so I blended parts of it up into the end of the current fic was a little precursor summoning?

So, obviously theres the real summoning, which is SO fun in this au and I’m still praying one day I’ll get enough ideas/spoons to write it, and idk where this would fit in the show timeline, maybe where if I loved you kind of fits or right before it, but essentially:

Pete comes clean to steph, in a way that fits with all the weird supernatural fuckery going on but not fully, honestly (so she doesn’t know the full extent until post-summoning), and the two of them make a plan (that steph DOES NOT LIKE) where he’ll, like, chug some coffee and purposefully trigger a low blood sugar episode so he can see tinky and ask him questions

If i had ended up writing it that would have been when he really realizes that tinky is a real thing; he probably would have pushed it a little too hard until steph gets nervous and kind of forces him swallow a glucose tablet and he snaps out of it (and tinky goes away, but just to fuck with pete and build the tension, not because he has to now)

I hadn’t been totally able to figure out how it would work out in a timeline (Which is why it never got written) but my plan was potentially to have solomon not be the one to show them the book, but instead tinky gives pete the directions, OR, if Solomon does show it to them, pete knows uncomfortably intrinsically how to do the ritual and is almost falling exactly in step with steph’s dad to find the book and on what to do

BUT YES!! Them!!! I know this was a way more general summary kind of overview, so if there were any specific scenes or characters or anything you were interested in lmk! I would love to get into it! Thank you so so much!! There's literally NEVER a time limit on any ask prompt things i reblog im always thrilled to answer! <3<3<3

[andkisses]

♡ just a friend | hyuka ♡

first kisses are scary. that’s why you’ve decided your first kiss should be with your best friend.

♡ kai x gn!reader | wc. 842 ♡ genres/tropes: fluff, y’all are both oblivious to being in love lol ♡ mentions of/warnings: none ♡ a/n: this is a rewrite of a fic i wrote but can’t remember if i ever posted on my old blog, so here it is !

The idea is simple, elegant in design and concept. It strikes both of you at the same time, as if you’re both hit on the head by a bored cupid. You sit beside, shoulders touching, watching yet another cheesy romcom. The two leads on screen fumble their way into a kiss, too nervous and naive to actually enjoy it. The slow turn towards each other, a single eyebrow raised in question, tells you he’s on board already.

Let’s be each other’s first kiss.

Kai cocked his head, tilting it towards you. “What's the worst that could happen?” he asks. Even with this idea brewing, the space between you doesn’t feel awkward. Watching movies on the shag rug after you’d pushed away the coffee table for more room still felt like the most amazingly mundane Saturday night task. Kai winked languidly, making sure to seem as fake as possible. “We fall in love?”

You scoffed, faking a gag and rolling your eyes. “Yeah, right.”

You take a moment to ensure all your hair is out of your face, brushing fingertips against your skin and behind your ears. The whole point of this was to make it the least awkward as possible. After all، it wasn't like you got your very first kiss every day.

The summer between sophomore and junior year feels like it’s stretching on into infinity, and yet you'd never been kissed. Never gone on a date, even. You assumed it was because everyone thought you were dating Kai--which was plain weird because you and him were just friends. The best of friends. You'd been together (but not together-together) for what already felt like an eternity.

You never thought of what it would be like to hold his hand in public, running your thumb across the back of his knuckles. What it would be like to confirm people’s suspicions and have them gush over how cute and compatible you are together. What it would be like to call Kai yours, to never have to worry about him being with anyone else, who obviously wouldn’t have his best interest at heart.

You never let yourself think of any of it, keeping it locked behind a door in your brain that you tried day in and day out to forget even existed.

It–this–is enough. Any more would just feel too odd. 

Which, you decide, is why this plan is so genius. No feelings, just pure discovery. You watch Kai take a quick sip of his eyes water while you wet your lips. Why suffer through a first kiss with someone who will eventually break your heart when you can do it with someone you trust?

No words were exchanged, you'd watched enough movies to know what’s supposed to happen. The two potential lovers–which, ew, you totally aren’t, but you let mind enter the role, just for right now–lean in close, catching their breaths, then lightly press their lips against each other. Sparks fly. Fireworks go off. You expected neither of these things, because duh, he’s your best friend.

You also didn’t expect his lips to taste like green tea, and yet here you were. They’re soft, and enticing, and so very Kai you don’t quite know what to do. One hand went to the couch so you wouldn't topple over on to him—this was to avoid awkwardness after all. You can't recall where the other landed, perhaps they dug into the shag carpet.

The kiss is over too fast, at least you felt like. Suddenly, all the movies made another layer of sense. There weren't any fireworks booming inside your head, jumbling around your thoughts. No incessant urge to pop one leg up like a cliche princess movie. But, an incessant urge for more.

Which is weird, because you kissed Kai out of science, a theory. A way to learn about kissing so when you actually had to do it on someone for real, you didn’t have to think.

Maybe, that’s what it is.

And there is a sparkler of sorts going off inside you, golden light everywhere. Your head buzzes with the excitement of newness. Your fingertips tingle with a want of something more, craving a sensation you can’t quite explain. You couldn’t wait to find someone to kiss like this all the time. You couldn't wait for Kai to find someone to kiss like this all the time.

You finally lean apart, back to your original spots on the rug. Kai opens his mouth to say something, focus drawing a triangle between your eyes and lips, when his attention dashes from you to the TV. Credits scrolled up the screen at an abysmal pace. “We forgot to pause the movie!” 

You lunge for the remote, ready to skip it back to the scene you were at pre-kiss. There’s a rush, a tingle up your arm when your hand brushes his. You decide it’s best not to look at him right now, as your heart races and your lips long for more. Kai is, after all, just a friend.

Your best friend.

The ask you got about Jean and the anons mother (“your Jean post has me thinking about my mother in particular.”) reminded me of my father and how I interpreted Jeans actions.

My dad was emotionally abusive and distant because he was depressed from when I was 10 to present.

He developed his depression at age 20. Mine came in full force at age 9. I was also dealing with debilitating anxiety and a learning disability. When I was 12 I also started abusing drugs to cope with him.

My father mistreated my mother and I because of his depression. I grew up wishing he would divorce my mum or die already so we’d stop having to deal with him. I thought he was so selfish for not leaving or changing and for making it everyone else’s problem. I didn’t give a fuck that he needed help, especially cause he wouldn’t accept any. He wouldn’t even admit he had a problem.

So you’re me, age 12. You’re on speed, you haven’t slept in a days and haven’t eaten in a little under a week. Then this fucking guy is here, treating you like shit, treating your mum like shit, and he doesn’t even realise what a dick he is or what he’s doing to y’all cause he’s so caught up in his own head. You fucking hate this guy! You’re dealing with the same issues as him and more. You’ve tried to kill yourself! He’s not done that but he’s the subject of everyone’s concern because he’s loud and horrible about his issues. And you’re 12 and slowly falling into invisibility next to this cunt.

So now you’re still me, now age 20, and your dad is acting less horrible. You don’t trust him as far as you can throw him, but it’s slow progress so maybe you will.

But if I was in jeans position? Fuck no! I wouldn’t trust him! Yeah of course you realised you were awful to us then you conveniently lost your memory right after, that makes sense. You totally aren’t shirking responsibility just like you always have.

Then he seems like he’s being honest? I’d be so mad! You had to suffer for years and he just forgets it all like it was nothing? Fuck no! He can go fuck himself.

So yeah Jean is a dick. But I kinda get it. When people with issues (whatever they may be) don’t even realise they’re being shitty, or if they do they don’t admit it, it’s really easy to hate them, and there’s not a lot of reason to try and have sympathy for them, especially when you’ve spent a long time thinking of them as selfish for the way their issues manifest.

yeah and that's the thing, we can try to understand the cause of a character's behavior and even sympathize with it without necessarily condoning it, you know? i can definitely see where jean's behavior towards harry comes from, but that doesn't make it okay for him to be outright ableist and hypocritical, AND during a public confrontation to boot. jean was being shitty in a lot of ways in the ending and he topped it off with humiliation.

but i'm glad we have enough perspective on jean to understand where he's coming from when he acts this way. it turns him from a 2D caricature that just exists for us to hate to a real developed character who belongs in the setting and who has a distinguished, meaningful(ly bad) relationship with harry. and part of that is being able to look at him and go "yeah he's a complete asshole and the way he's acting isn't acceptable... but i do kinda get it"

[firecrackerhh]

I find it really strange that so many ace people I see bitch about Alastor being sexualized in fanfics when it’s like…look I can’t speak for every hazbin fanfic in existence or anything, but all the ones I’ve seen at least mention that he’s asexual or hell, some of them actually talk about it in detail, I dunno what kinda fanfics y’all are reading but maybe you just need to find better fucking fanfics.

Like goddamn I’m sorry that not every Alastor centric fic goes deep into detail over his asexuality but considering how some of y’all act about it maybe people are better off never fucking discussing it with how fucking defensive you are about it, goddamn. Like if they don’t do it the “right” way y’all act like it’s fucking aphobic or something.

I’m glad Alastor means so much to you, but expecting everyone else to give a shit is fucking ludicrous.

“Can’t we just have this.” Bitch Alastor doesn’t fucking belong to you!!! Get the fuck over yourself oh my fucking god.

Write your own fics about it instead of whining like a bitch that other people aren’t writing a fictional character the way you want.

Nevermind the fact that both asexuality and aromanticism is a fucking spectrum.

Some of you act like Alastor’s sexuality is purely sex repulsed and like, if you headcanon him as anywhere else you’re immediately aphobic, when real people on the spectrum don’t mind sex that much, or maybe they’ll have it under certain circumstances, or they only feel sexual attraction to people close to them, so on and so on.

But noooo Alastor can only ever be purely sex repulsed in fiction apparently or else it’s aphobia or something, like sure dude, whatever you say.

Like goddamn what’s wrong with exploring the various degrees of the spectrum? Or is that only ever allowed when the person writing the fic is some kind of asexual?

Makes me wonder how sex repulsed aces feel about the non sex repulsed ones. Wonder if they ever do that fucking exclusionary bullshit, if they do, then that shits fucked and I don’t respect it.

Just because an ace person has sex or an aromantic person is in a relationship doesn’t make them any less of who they are! And if you think otherwise, whether you be ace or aromantic yourself…you have some shit to unpack my dude.

Your experience with your asexuality or aromanticism are not universal. If you seriously believe that exploring the other degrees of either is somehow aro or acephobic…ngl, real hot take here, but uh…🔥perhaps you may have some inner ace/aro phobia to confront🔥

Now sure, a lot of fics just make Alastor fuck and that’s it…but you can just not…read…those fics? Honestly y’all care way more about fanfic than actual fanfic writers I think.

🧨🔥~Firecracker out~🔥🧨

[sibillascribbles08]

Decided to do the TMNTVDAY month because I need to spread more propaganda for this ship (I see y’all liking all the posts for it on my blog I SEE you)

1. In which TMNT universe does your pairing exist?

Rise, mainly because it’s the only one I’m still familiar with haha

2. Introduce us to your OTP.

Hi it’s Jasonnie, I’m predictable. Jason and Donnie (”Who the fuck is Jason”) He’s the little purple dragon guy. I literally can’t blame you if you don’t remember he’s in THREE episodes ! (Would he have been in more if the show hadn’t been cut off? I can hope) Anyway my brain has a terrible habit of looking at underdeveloped background characters and saying “it’s free real estate”, so lets be very clear the only reason I love his character so much is cause I made like 89% of it aslkjf.

3. How did they meet?

According to canon, when Donnie was helping April in the computer lab where he tried to show off and then got all his shit stolen lmao.

4. How is the relationship now?

Depends how long it’s been. The few stories I have with this ship always take the route of enemies to friends to lovers, and some move much slower than others haha.

But I suppose to give more details and elaborate on how I picture their dynamic, although the two come to adore each other there’s always an antagonistic streak between them that never goes away, it just becomes more playful rather than mean. Affectionate insults are a regular occurrence, and neither of them have an issue with calling the other out when they do something stupid. You’d think it’d lead to more arguments, but generally their combined blunt nature causes them to communicate more often (not that there aren’t still snags that come up).

Also like, nerds, in more ways than one. Sure the tech stuff is obvious but while Donnie adores Jupiter Jim, Lou Jitsu and Atomic Lass, Jase is over here with tons of gundam and transformer models and will watch any film that features a giant robot. More than one date is spent with one or the other talking about something for an hour and a half straight.

5. What is each other’s love language?

Donnie’s main one is gift giving, which sometimes goes overboard. Jase has to be careful mentioning he ever wants anything because there’s a good chance Donnie will show up a week later having either bought it, stolen it, or built it from scratch. He also likes to give things when he makes apologies, often cookies or snacks.

Jase’s is actually touch, though it took some time for him to be on a comfort level for that to be obvious. You wouldn’t expect it either, for how often he complains if Donnie ever picks him up, but he enjoys almost any form of contact. For the days Donnie’s overwhelmed and isn’t up for it, he’s also content to just sit in the same room (Quality time being his secondary language).

6. Do they get married or have any kids?

I may never write about it but yes asldjf fun fact tho, Donnie names their daughter Holly (after Holly Blue).

7. What is your favorite thing about this pairing? (Gush as much as you want!)

Listen part of it is just “I built one of these characters from the ground up so I can make this whatever I want” but I really enjoy how their dynamic evolved into keeping each other in check. Jase not eating properly due to anxiety? Donnie brings him his favorite snacks and will stare at him until he eats some of it. Donnie working almost non stop for twelve hours ? Jase snapping at him and possibly even wrestling a device out of his grip until he goes to lay down.

Oh also uh, height difference. Yeah I hc that Donnie gets up to freaking 6′11″ when he’s fully grown and Jase is stuck at 5′3″ sooo

yeah

[multiplicity-positivity]

hi im sorry if this is not the place for this because its not positivity so please tell me if you know of a better place to ask but i need some advice and have no idea where else to turn??

not asking for myself as i am a singlet but my best friends of several years are a system and i would like to know for helping them.

an old fictive of theirs resurfaced who was originally around back long before they realized they were a system. the problem comes in with a mutual close friend of ours who is their irl friend they see in person occasionally but is exclusively my online friend. i have known them several years as well. this mutual friend has said before that if my best friends split any fictives of this character they would make fun of them. between this and how this friend treats said fictive's source character my best friends are therefore uncomfortable mentioning this fictive even exists. they do not trust our friend to be respectful.

how in hell do they go about this?? i do not want to see my best friends or anyone else get hurt here and we both already have had some unrelated tension with this mutual friend.

Hi! Although we do sincerely appreciate your concern for your friends, this may be something for a conversation between your system friend and your mutual friend.

Your mutual friend may not understand much about plurality, fictives, or system life, and may think that they’re making a harmless joke when it is in fact hurtful and offensive. If this is the case, perhaps you can help educate them more on plurality, share resources, and help them understand that in most systems, fictives do not get to choose their sources. Helping share the load of education with your system friend may make it easier for both of you to help your mutual friend learn more about fictives.

Maybe you can try to remind your mutual friend that for many systems, individual alters or headmates feel like their own people, and develop alongside or separately from the rest of the system. Fictives aren’t just “characters who live in systems’ heads;” they are their own, unique individuals, and exist outside their source as a part of the real world. They’re not character, blorbos, protags/antags, or plot devices. They are unique individuals and are as deserving of autonomy and respect as you, me, and anyone else.

At the end of the day, you may need to remind your mutual friend that respecting others should matter more than making jokes at other people’s expense. It may be a difficult conversation to have, but if you really want to support your system friend, going to bat for them by encouraging your mutual friend to treat others with kindness and respect may be the best thing you can do.

Be sure to ASK your system friend before trying to broach this subject with your mutual friend! Your system friend may feel blindsided or at least not appreciate their fictives being talked about or discussed behind their back. And remember that both you and your system friend don’t owe your mutual friend anything - if they refuse to be respectful or won’t stop making fun of your system friend’s headmates, you can set up and reinforce boundaries, or take a step back from the relationship for a while.

Being disrespectful and making fun of others isn’t cool and it isn’t funny. Jokes at other people’s expense are just sad and hurtful. Hopefully y’all can get your mutual friend to understand this. Regardless, we wish you and your friends the best of luck figuring this out!

🌸 Margo and 💚 Ralsei

Sorry but what right do you have to look down upon a gay man and then post his post on here for people to look at? A REAL gay man and you’re mocking him like sorry but you guys need to chill and leave the gays alone specially over an opinion just because it differs from yours. And y’all scream rep yet tear down one of our own? Not cool dude not cool. Take a step back from ships and remember it’s not real life it’s just a damn show.

“Eleven, you’re being ridiculous. Like what is this?”

This is such an odd ask. I know it’s not your intention, but your wording (“A REAL gay man and you’re mocking him… [why do] you post his post on here for people to look at?”) is unintentionally funny because it implies the existence of a FAKE gay man, and it also makes it sound like taking a screenshot of a public comment and posting it on Tumblr is equivalent to, like, putting someone in a human zoo or something. I didn’t even keep their username in my post if you’re that concerned, but if you want, you can see it for yourself here along with all the absurd comments. Your wording also implies that someone being gay means their takes are dainty and automatically cannot be unpacked or scrutinized, which is also silly. Queer people can have bad takes, and these takes can be called out! And like, I didn’t “mock” him. But I am an equal opportunity roaster of bad takes. “Leave the gays alone” is also such an odd thing to say, as if most of us aren’t all queer on this tag to begin with. I can’t tell if you’re a Byler or a Milkvan or something else, or even what your angle is. Stranger Things may “just” be a show, but it’s a show that reflects and affects society and culture like all art, and if someone’s take has harmful effects, it shouldn’t go unchallenged.

New Year Reading for 2024! 🌟 - Aries

Preshuffle: There are some debt or financial issues in your world that probably already exist, because I’m getting you’ve been putting it off or not really doing anything about it, and that’s going to change this year. Money issues cannot be ignored anymore, it’s showing up as The Devil before you finally take the lead and decide to do something about it. For some, this could involve a child, custody, child support, legal fees, or combined resources with an ex. A very specific story, you could have a “joint” something that’s an ex’s problem, but they’re not paying it and you’re the one getting checks garnished or bill collectors sending threats, just as an example. Hopefully not.

Meditation: I guess with tumultuous stories I’m just going to see the same crazy plummet Tower or whatever that I’ve been seeing the last couple of months. Yours is a psychotic water ride with some real dangers, all aiming for the head, you had to duck & dodge, had to pay attention. Aries rules the head - and my Aries moon son hits his head once a WEEK 🤦‍♀️ so take that as a literal warning and be careful please. Y’all should come with helmets. This thing went down for ages, sharp turns, even upside down which how is that possible with water and does that mean something - idk. Water is emotions in tarot, could just be crazy emotions. By the time you finally get to the bottom, it ejects you violently into a tiny pool, and you climb out, soaking wet, and there are these two guys in suits next to it literally (condescendingly) “rating” your performance. As if it were a performance! You got an 8.2, if that means something, and once you realized you were being rated for this hell you just went though, you were pissed, and flicked a nickel really hard at the first guy’s forehead with a “fuck you” 😡

🔸 Whole of Your Energy: 8 Cups, Ace of Pentacles rev, 5 Wands, 5 Pentacles

Regarding: 3 Swords

Child support is a clear struggle for those having to pay it (or your ex just not paying it, could be either), you could be battling it out with an ex over money for some portion of the year. I’m also getting a child having issues, doesn’t even have to be your own, could be a step-child, niece/nephew, sibling, someone needs money or help that includes money in some way, and it could fall to you to help them. Even if you can’t do much, you’re still doing something. This can be a child’s activity or extracurricular that you’re needing to go 50/50 with an ex on and it’s not possible, one of you could be going broke trying to do everything alone in a two+ person venture. Or some outside person (a child?) causes some chaos or destruction and you’re stuck with a bill you can’t afford. I heard “medicine” for someone, could be for you or someone else. I do get this being something outside of yourself - like you didn’t ask for this, and if you did, you didn’t think it would be this freakin’ hard, or expensive.

A separate story, for those who are trying to have some creative sort of business venture or opening up a shop of some kind, you could find yourself spending a lot more than you’re getting. I see direct competition around you, could be the area you’re in - if a physical place - or the market could just be saturated with the same thing you’re trying to do. In either story, there are some things you’re needing to abandon because it’s just not working out, and I get that you really don’t want to, but you can’t afford it, aren’t approved, don’t get a loan, some necessary (expensive) repair prevents it, material prices skyrocket, etc. Many different possibilities, details, and reasons, but overall you’re needing to focus on your money this year - and the career portion flat out says don’t sign up for anything or add anything more than you’ve already got 💯 Some of you are needing to scrap an idea altogether once you realize the details involved, it may be a case of wishful thinking - likely a plan made last year, since that’s what’s needing to be left behind.

🔸 Character Card: The Musician 🎷

A very positive card, this person has already been through the struggle and hardship of life, and they’re playing their songs out loud in order to share their message and inspire others around them, while waiting for the ship that takes them into a new cycle with new problems, lessons, blessings, etc., everyone gathers around to hear The Musician’s song. For some, it can speak to them deeply, and you may be helping to inspire someone else, or being inspired.

🔸 Relationship: Queen of Cups & The Devil

Regarding: King of Cups rev

This feels more like your person’s issue than yours, but it’s going to cause a rift between you for some time. They’re either someone that likes to please themselves in a certain way, I’m not seeing shopping or money issues, but they indulge in things that keep them stuck for long periods of time. Could be watching the same tv shows over and over again, keeping their mind rooted in a specific time period of their life. Or you have the Musician card, it could be music. ✨Media✨ Something like that, something that makes them extremely emotional, because they show up as an empath possibly or someone whose emotions are heavily affected by what they do - and what they do isn’t always positive. At least some part of it. They may also take “self care” to an extreme, to the point it’s actually just selfish. Or that could be you, either/or. There is a routine of some kind, or even a part of their personality that is extremely emotional, immature even, like they can’t contain themselves or “get a grip”. It will be the biggest issue between you this year.

However, it’s followed with Ace of Swords & Flash, both indicating an “aha!” moment that wakes them up to this issue. Or you. You could be communicating this to them in a way they suddenly get it, or you could be introducing them to new things in a way of being romantic. Like not just “saying” the thing flat out, but moving differently to encourage change in different directions. For example, my husband and I like Sinatra a lot, say that’s a source of irritation for you & them for some reason. It reminds them of their ex and they get irritated, so you start playing something more…new & romantic. Creating new memories to “get stuck” on more or less, positive ones. With loving action, dates, spending time together, probably you instigating this, you’ll both overcome whatever issue you’re having 🧡 It’s like they need a hand to step outside of themselves and join you - in right now, today, and tomorrow, that direction, with love. This could be you too. Musician seems directly connected to your partner, and for the singles too, someone may literally be dating one, or are one.

Couples Oracles:

34 Stuck

You may be stuck because you are overly attached to a method or piece.

17 Flash

A creative flash of inspiration will come to you and quickly give you the perfect solution.

🔸 Singles: King of Wands & Ace of Cups

Regarding: Judgement

You’re getting a lot of attention this year, being positively magnetic for some of you 💋 people can’t seem to get enough of you, or you could have several people around you with a crush, flirting, willing to ask you out or say yes if you do. For some there is a very clear return of something - an ex - that’s only if you want them because I get they want you. You could separate and get back together in the same year, for some. Many of you are probably working on your appearance, cutting/dyeing your hair, getting tattoos, going to the gym, buying new clothes, whatever that is for you. You singles are focused on *glowing up* to bring in what you want. If it’s an ex, it’ll work. If it’s someone new, that’ll work too. I’m getting you could pretty much have whoever you want. Do I see long term, not really, but I see a new start no matter who it is you want to be with. If it’s an ex, it’s a brand new beginning, you’re both letting old shit go.

I pulled a card for any specific person Spirit wants to highlight and got The Storyteller. Could be a fire sign too, this King of Wands may be them for some, you for others. They could work with children or have a great relationship with them, they’re an entertaining personality. Kinda controlling. They like to call the shots and direct things, they have a way of speaking that captures the attention of many people, and they may do an amazing job of performing for “an audience”. Could be a literal musician, or someone with a following, and fans. It’s also possible that they travel a lot or don’t tend to stay in one place, there’s a nomadic vibe here, but I don’t get that being suspicious, more like it’s just part of them, or maybe their job. It’s also possible to start something you later have to leave due to travel or distance.

Singles Oracle:

04 - Recycle

Learn from the past and apply it to creating your vision of the future.

🔸 Career: Page of Pentacles rev & 2 Pentacles

Regarding: Knight of Cups

Probably this is where most of the contention at the beginning fits in. Whatever you have planned for up to this point will probably change, and you’re going to need to be flexible in how this works out for you. I see a lot of financial concerns in the beginning, and needing to abandon something being a real issue. For some of you, it’s possible your job decides to shut down a location and you can either move somewhere else to continue working for them, or you have to find something else entirely. They might not even be offering to help pay your moving expenses should you choose to continue with them and actually move, meaning if you have six months left on a lease, you’re on your own to pay that off. AND moving costs. Or if you have a child here, a battle with the other parent & custody could be what’s being mentioned.

With this, before anything, I’m getting to “read the fine print”, don’t just blindly agree to something and don’t sign anything until all sides have been carefully considered. Are they moving you to a more expensive area, but paying you the same? Is traveling or any movement in your career really worth what you’re giving out in return? Last year you were dead set on something, and now you’re being asked to not be quite so confident, make sure you check and double check everything you’re signing up for. You’ll be distracted, or it’s possible someone wants you to do something and they’re purposely distracting you, so you’re then stuck in a contract or something you didn’t sign up for - or weren’t aware of. Be very careful with that. You could be deciding to move for love too, if your person is at a distance from you, or they may be doing that for you, and your finances may change in this way. Whatever you’re leaving behind is a source of excitement and inner conflict - both, maybe even competition on some level. Ambitions could take you far, just be sure you aren’t being bamboozled or signing up for something you don’t actually want. You could also get stuck “being nice” for someone or taking on extra and don’t know what that actually entails until you’re stuck with it.

Career Oracle: Distractions

When you are trying to solve a problem, you will often be tested by distractions.

🔸 What needs to be left behind in 2023: 2 Swords rev & 8 Pentacles

Regarding: Page of Wands

Not a fan of this energy tbh. It’s like last year you were super confident about where things were going, you were motivated, inspired, and ready to take on new experiences or head in a new direction with your career. That’s very positive, and that’s what’s needing to be left behind, which is a pause for me…you *need* to be unsure, skeptical even, dotting every t and actually reading contracts or proposals sent to you this year. For work travel, The World can indicate the literal world, it may not be a few miles away, but sending jobs overseas or having you work with those where there’s a huge language barrier…may not be an issue, but you may not be totally aware of what you’re signing up for either. Additionally with this, is the trust in others to make decisions for you, especially regarding your career. You can’t assume everyone is working in your best interest, in fact I’m getting they could be purposely distracting you in order to lead you to believe something - and stick you with some bs. I do see really good potential, but it’s case-by-case, for some it’s great and the issue is settling a lease contract & moving costs. For others, there is a whole custody battle or combined assets shortchanging you somehow, tricky contracts and the like.

All three Mercury retrogrades move through the fire signs this year, and this reading may be highlighting those times specifically - astrologers warn of these things for everyone at that time - but especially you 💯 For the risings, the Pluto dance between 10th & 11th Houses definitely show more online activity or “world” involvement, and Jupiter moving from your 2nd to your 3rd opens up communication in a big way with foreign contacts, but a move would probably be closer to where you are already than actual long distance travel - unless the 3rd/11th house rulers are in the 9th. Some of you could get lucky with an online thing or creating a social media page of some kind, this is likely a boost to any online/social media creators.

Leave Behind Oracle:

77 Confidence

Know and feel this affirmation, beyond a doubt: “I AM all that I need to get what I want.”

7777 show anything stuck with your relationships will move forward with success.

Many ones and Aces show possible missed opportunities in (new) love and money due to distractions around you or in your way. That could cost you - especially money.

8888 shows leaving something behind, and this may possibly be an impulsive or very fast decision needing to be made - regarding your work. Some of you will intuitively know exactly what to do, others of you may have that choice made for you by someone else - probably regarding work. Or a custody thing, could be forcing you to pass up on a financial opportunity you’d otherwise consider.
