Kat even mentions in this video how close her and Claire was. So it's just down right cruel to utilize that on-screen. Also about her and Paul, them being a trio in season 4 would have been iconic and make that season way less garbage.
Exactly, why try to focus pointless friendships between Rebekah and Caroline or Rebekah and Elena when you already establish that Caroline and Elena didn’t like Rebekah instead of giving us bonbekah moments.
This reminds me of the same thing that happened with Klonnie. Before Joseph was given a love interest on the show him and Kat made it know that they got along well behind the scenes. Kat even talked about how she caught Joseph watching a Klonnie shipping video (making it know that they both were aware that people were shipping their characters together). They both even supported the idea of Klonnie having more scenes together. Then all of a sudden Joseph is being paired with Candice for klaroline when their characters had no interactions. It’s funny bc even tho klaroline became a pair Joseph still publicly vouched for Klonnie. ïżŒ
It’s like the writers purposely pushed Kat away from any well loved characters to sideline Bonnie/Kat even more than they already did in and outside the show. Like a big slap in the face; I don’t respect or like you so I’ll make your character suffer as well.
The same thing happened with Paul bc in season one Bonnie and Stefan had so many good scenes together and people would ship Bonnie and Stefan given Paul and Kat’s Chemistry. Then suddenly Caroline and Stefan are getting more screen time together and are now besties even tho Stefan barely acknowledged Caroline in season 1 nor cared for her. Bonnie was the one he would go out of his way to be friends with and care for. Stans always use that time Kat said she couldn’t focus around Paul bc they would laugh and joke around as a way to explain why Bonnie and Stefan began to have less screen time together but I think it’s simply bc the writers didn’t want Bonnie having any shine. Especially with the main character who are the viewers loved.
When it comes to Bonnie, Stefan and Rebekah being a trio I can see it. To go deeper since season 4 Bonnie was “dark” and was obviously struggling dealing with Shane’s/Silas’s mind manipulation, understanding expression and balancing family issues with her mother and father being around Stefan and Rebekah being friends to her would of been fresh and nice to see. Especially when Bonnie already seen the dark side of Stefan (ripper side) and in season 3 Bonnie work with a dark side of Stefan (no humanity) it would of been cool if the writers make Bonnie a source of light, hope or peace for Stefan at that time he was going through things then turn around in do the same with Stefan for Bonnie. Then adding in Rebekah as a fresh face bringing in her good vibes would have been fun as well. Imagine Rebekah taking 2 of the most serious and reserved characters in the show loosing them up and having a good time. That would of been good to see. And since both Stefan and Rebekah both knew Bonnie’s ancestors (Ayana and Grams) them sitting around, chillin and telling Bonnie stories about their time with her ancestors would have been such sweet moments for Bonnie. Especially since she was going through her dark time and rarely got any Intel on her ancestors.
The amazing storylines that could of came from Bonnie were endless. It annoyed me so make hearing that the writers excuse for not writing Bonnie better was them just not knowing what to do with her when it was obvious that they could but didn’t want to. You claim you don’t know what to do with Bonnie or how to write her but when you need a quick fix Bonnie’s there for you. They would even add onto Bonnie’s family dynamics to push forward other storylines while making it have no true connection back to Bonnie nor caring how it affected her negatively. So when you need to push the plot all of a sudden you know how to write for Bonnie but when it comes to caring for Bonnie’s character in general then it’s “oh we don’t know what to do”.
Seems fishy to me. đŸ€”

lys, hi. this video randomly popped up on my fb -- yes, it's the most accessible socmed platform where im from - feed (a friend shared it), and i just got so sad again.
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/neA4nN4tMTANdAwo/?mibextid=uSdriS
obviously, this is fiction, right? and i usually am so good at releasing it all out once im done internalizing it in my head. it's very stressful lol but i think it makes media content enjoyable, at least for this sort of media. the song isn't really something i've given a second listen - or even a full listen - but oh it works so well for this scene.
but i just get so sad, so incredibly sad whenever i think about canon eremika. as a sucker for well-meaning (lol) angst, their story was so beautifully written, but damn. i think i said this in an ask years ago...that i read your work as some sort of escapism, like 'oh it ends well for both of them' kind of thing. i dont ever do that with other anime/manga/fandom-centric entertainment etc; thinking about them just hurts a bit too much for an irl feeling. i need to think of them happy and flirty and cranky and just alive in that silly little place in my head reserved for media consumption. little nico doesnt hurt too
tbh, we cant really ask for canonical representations right? most writers dont write them that way anyway, but i feel like i could see canon eremika in your works, if they were ever given the chance to live out different lives in different worlds, haha. ig that's what happens when the emotional range has been fleshed out in canon material (tho at what cost??).
until know, i still cant laugh at those memes of mikasa developing an attachment to birds and whatnot because it's just really sad. lol like the dark humor doesn't work for me here.
anyway, that's all! i hope you're doing ok. maybe im just feeling blue because i just had a session of root canal treatment and the cost + post-session pain make me want to sob too. considering a dental implant after all this because if im going to go thru this, might as well do it for something that's guaranteed to last lifetime (with good bones & proper care ofc)
sending you my love, in the most non-weird way, if that's possible haha
AWW ANON SENDING U MY LOVE RIGHT BACK !!! I have never had a root canal but I think both my parents have and they fucking suck from the sounds of it, so wishing you a speedy recovery!!
oh god the fucking song tho 😂😭 i don't think ur alone, that song kind of hits different, I feel like I saw it on insta reels or something recently and I was definitely crying. I ALSO JUST CRY A LOT THO !! I was crying bc I watched the fast and the furious the other day , like who am I?? Media has the ability to bring it out in you!! Especialyl AOT!! ACTUALLY U KNOW WHAT THO IT WAS ANGEL BEATS THAT WAS MAKING ME SOB THE OTHER DAY, I ABSOLUTELTY SOBBED!!
I think I have emotionally removed myself enough from canon eremika that it doesn't phase me anymore, like I have not and likely will not rewatch AOT ever or any time soon at the very least because I just have no desire to put myself thru it bc I am simply too attached!
As far as me writing canon eremika goes, as I always say, never say never! So far, captain Eren is the closest I'm getting LOL! Altho I think i do have a few canon EM drabbles somewhere in the depths of my blog! I would like to write canon EM, but i don't know how i'd do it tbh. Like how I could spin a happy ending for them other than cabin EM which I did attempt but didn't finish as usual!! you never know what type of garbage I'll cook up tho 😂

What are your most unpopular opinions on Descendants as a whole?
Idk how popular/unpopular a lot of my opinions are, but here are a few that I think are unpopular haha:
1) I like Mal. Yes even when she’s making bad choices, which she certainly does. I like that she’s a messy protagonist & even tho I prefer a lot of things about her book characterization I also lowkey still like the movie version of her. I know people say Dove was phoning it in especially in D3 but I think she did a really good job in D1 & D2; at the beginning of D2 she did a believable enough portrayal of a stress-based mental breakdown that I’m convinced Dove was drawing from personal experience. When you can see her zoning out every time no one’s talking to her directly bc she’s mentally working through a checklist of everything she needs to do—I’ve been there. Mal was sleep deprived & living on sheer willpower & fear of failure and Dove crushed it in terms of portraying that experience.
I’ll admit that I’m biased bc I am not immune to Dove Cameron in purple hair & studded jackets, I relate to Ben bc I too would abuse my position of power just to make Mal happy oop
2) I like beast!Ben okay I did not like the makeup job but I did like the character design & I think if they were gonna have him do stupid shit like roaring in D2 when overwhelmed/stressed about the fight with Uma or physically shake water off of himself like a dog then we could’ve gotten more than him being beasted by a spell for 2 minutes (even tho the FX makeup did Not hold up well on camera). Also they were cowards for using the magic lake super soaker to mostly break the spell, every single version of Beauty and the Beast that refuses to show a human/beast kiss on screen is made by cowards. This was the only spell in D3 that was broken in this way & they did that specifically bc they were cowards. Mal should’ve broken the spell by kissing him in the first place I don’t care if it’s weird
Given the slightest inclination I would’ve made a beast!Ben au anyway but I only initially started writing down any of it out of spite
3) I don’t love that Mal spelled Ben but I still ship Bal. I support & enjoy other ships with both of the characters (Malvie, Bevie, core four all together, etc) but I am a Bal shipper at heart. And I think Ben proposing with a callback to Did I Mention was really cute okay, yes that’s salt in the wound for Audrey but just on its own it was a really cute & romantic way to propose & I love it
4) Ig the really unpopular thing, going off of the prev one, is this: I don’t think Audrey & Ben were ever actually in love. I think they were friends & them dating was something that Audrey was encouraged to do & Ben went along with, & I think as much as Audrey absolutely was unfairly humiliated in front of her peers she was more upset at losing the crown than Ben. Ben still owed her an apology & an explanation once he broke Mal’s spell; it wasn’t his fault that he embarrassed Audrey while under the influence of a spell but it was pretty cowardly & lame of him not to own up to it right away & instead just use the spell as an easy out from the relationship. But I still don’t think Audrey & Ben were ever in love. As a Bal shipper, I am definitely biased about this.
Also, I’m not opposed to anyone shipping Audrey with Ben! I think it’s cool that all of us can see this same franchise & come away with so many different ideas & opinions
So those are my hot takes lol. Overall I just enjoy Descendants as the beautiful garbage fire it is & I don’t have super strong opinions about ships or anything, I just like playing in the sandbox :)

Ninja Daily: Vapors 35
"Man, this is awesome, 'ttebayo!" Naruto practically bounced around the room, waving his second successful seal in his grubby little fist. The first one had left a scorch on the hotel comforter that would never be repairable. Jiraiya silently kissed his deposit goodbye and decided to leave very early in the morning when it came time to skip town. In the meantime, he made a note to request that the maid service stopped.
"What did I tell you gaki?" He physically stopped the boy from fidgeting so much by grabbing his shoulders. Watching Naruto get excited made him feel incredibly tired. Had he ever had that much energy? "I've been telling you for months that fuinjutsu is a noble art!"
"Who cares about noble? That sounds so boring. Boom!"
He couldn't get too irritated, however, even as his apprentice cackled. Despite the fact that Aiko had been the one to bully Naruto into sitting down and learning the seal language, he was pretty pleased that he'd managed to get the boy at least mildly curious in the art. And she really had known how to speak his language—literally, they babbled at each other incomprehensibly whenever they ran into a difficult concept Aiko couldn't seem to explain in the way she had learned or if they got distracted and forgot he was there. It was altogether strange and humbling—where did they learn another language? He'd have to remember to ask, it didn't sound like anything he had ever heard.
It had probably been a terrible idea to teach a teenage boy how to make his own explosives, but he'd thought that type of seal had much more likelihood of actually holding Naruto's attention.
Lo, it was both terrible and great to behold. He gently pried the seal out of his apprentice's hands, already prepared to counter his protests. "Naruto, you're so excited that your chakra levels are wavering. If you're not careful, that's going to blow up in your hand, and then your sister will kill me."
Aiko gave a distracted grunt of acknowledgement, curled up in the same armchair where she had been for hours. Unlike her brother, she actually had a good attention span. (Then again, the comparison may not have been fair. She was under more pressure. When he'd put Naruto under pressure in past, the boy had always pulled through, whether it be the Rasengan, Shadow Clones, or learning to summon).
He had been expecting to get a much more academic student than the one he'd been working with for almost a year now. But despite Tsunade's notation that Aiko had been noted to be of above average intelligence, Jiraiya kept being surprised. If anything, Tsunade hadn't given the girl enough credit. She had taken to seals as a duck to water with an intense, unwavering focus and ability to intuitively piece concepts together. It was like she was working with a dictionary's worth of background knowledge ready to be applied to theoretical scenarios. It was uncanny. (Jiraiya took a moment to roll his eyes at himself for using ducks in a metaphor. He was starting to sound like sensei. Old coot had always loved birds.)
Her performance with some of the more technical and less imaginative aspects was less thrilling, however. She made simple mistakes in things like constructing an array that would filter chakra.
Well, he amended, it wasn't fair to call them 'simple' mistakes. The concepts she struggled with were still advanced ones, but the way that she breezed ridiculously high up in other areas made it hard to him to keep that perspective. She just couldn't seem to understand how to alter the array to take into account the nature of the chakra in use and in contact. He would have to teach her that by rote.
He had decided that with her chakra nature, it would be easiest for her to demand a jinchuuriki candidate with water-nature as well. She would only have to account for one nature translation that way. If needed, Mei could be fed some garbage about the Three-Tails being a water natured beast, but he didn't really care what she thought.
He'd sent a letter to that effect last week.
Naruto had actually coerced his sister into adding onto some of his silly letters. Jiraiya didn't see the point—she had seen most of their friends in Konoha less than a month ago, and she couldn't possibly want to write to that nutty Suna jinchuuriki or any of the friends Naruto had made along their trip so far. (Seriously, you can't take that kid emanywhere/em without running into someone who he wanted to make his friend. If he didn't stop using the magic of friendship on every sad or troubled individual he met, he was going to have to spend more time writing letters than training.)
"I'm going out." Jiraiya pulled on his coat, tossing a look at the two teens over his shoulder. "You two hungry? I could bring something back, or you could actually venture out into the real world."
Naruto gave a longing look to his sister that she didn't seem to see. She had already turned her attention back to the book balanced on her knees and the notebook where she was taking notes with illustrations. "Food would be nice."
He stuck his lip out and pouted, but Naruto flopped back down on the other bed and bounced. "Yeah, bring us back food, ero-sennin!"
Jiraiya narrowed his eyes. 'Hard-working Aiko gets beef. Naruto is getting the driest chicken karaage I can find.'
It was hard to believe that Naruto still hadn't caught on to the way that Jiraiya passive-aggressively rewarded and punished him for disrespect. You would think that working under someone like Hatake would have taught him to at least spot it, even if he didn't want to alter his actions.
'Who am I kidding, Naruto is far too clueless.'
Aiko actually looked up, mildly startled, when the full grown man in the room burst into giggles before stumbling out the door. Naruto merely rolled his eyes. "The old guy does that sometimes." He kicked his feet against the singed bedcovers, then rolled over onto his stomach to make a grab for the remote to the antique television in the room.
She rolled her eyes and did her best to tune it out. Naruto loved those awful soaps.
In her past life, she must have been terrible at math. Just utterly abominable. Sometimes she felt a connection straining to be made and she was sure it meant that just beyond what she consciously remembered was a concept she had learned but forgotten. It was like having a word on the tip of her tongue. She felt like if she only scraped it against her teeth long enough it would come off and make sense.
But it never did.
Luckily, not all of sealing was analogous to math at all.
Naruto turned to stare at her. Aiko pretended not to notice, immersed as she was in what she was learning.
"Hey. Aiko."
She swallowed the sigh she wanted to heave and looked up, blinking away 'I can't be rude. It's not his fault I'm in over my head.' He was just excited to spend some time together after a year apart. There was nothing wrong with that, even if it did make it harder for her to do the studying she desperately needed to do.
"Yes, Naruto?"
He gave her a grin that she associated on some deep, primal level with the Grinch who stole Christmas. She recoiled. "I invented a totally new technique and kicked the pervert's ass with it. Wanna see?"
'My keen intuition tells me that this isn't going anywhere good.' She closed her book and stood, giving a stretch. "Sounds good. Should we go outside?" Okay, so she lied. But how could she tell him that she already knew most of the things he would learn?
He shook his head, flushing just a little bit across his cheeks. "Ah, no. I think it's better in here." He brought his hands up into a cross. "Sexy Jutsu!"
'And that went exactly where I expected it would.'
Except that it didn't. When the smoke cleared, it became frighteningly obvious that she wasn't looking at Naruko. She probably had an expression that would have looked more appropriate if she'd just been slapped with a fish, because Naruto giggled.
Or rather, the totally sexy seventeen year old version of herself did. Anko, eat your heart out and prepare to hand over your 'Sexy Kunoichi' title.
'Suddenly I care about my looks. I want to look like that.'
She felt her cheeks burn red, and she giggled. "That
 That is just the best thing ever. I'm super flattered."
SexyAiko cooed, posing cutely. "Mou, you really think so?"
"Yeah." Aiko strode over to examine the facsimile from different angles. "Although this is definitely intended to appeal more to a male heterosexual gaze. Is that intentional? It's not accurate, and it could stand some refinement."
Naruto puffed back into himself with a pout and a baffled expression. "What do you mean? This version is perfect! I worked on it for hours!"
She shook her head. "Ah, never mind." As long as she didn't go nuts and get any extra ribs implanted, she wouldn't end up with the oddities of Naruto's Sexy Jutsu anyway. (and if she got to that point, she undoubtedly had bigger things to worry about, like her traumatic brain injury that led to decreased judgment).
He had to stop for a moment to gape. Shizune blinked dumbly and lowered her arm guard as if to check that he really had cracked it in half. Then she gave a shriek.
"Ah! You did it!"
Sasuke normally tried to go with 'stoic' or at least 'strong and silent', but he couldn't help but crack a positive facial expression. (Even in the comfort of his mind he couldn't call it a grin.) "I did it," he said with no small amount of satisfaction.
Granted, he hadn't emintended/em to at that moment. He had simply slipped into the action he had been practicing nonstop lately. Tsunade had taught him the theory behind her augmented strength, but warned that it would take years for him to be able to utilize it to the fullest potential. Strength augmentation wasn't unique to Tsunade, but the heights that she took it to were.
Still, he was fairly proud of his first successful usage. Sasuke was sure that now that he knew what it felt like, he could replicate the circulation and alteration in his limbs.
He was actually pleased enough that he didn't react in time to Shizune's exuberant hug. Sasuke instantly stiffened, fighting two instinctive urges.
The first urge was to use the substitution technique with a cactus.
The second urge was to emgo for the throat/em with a kunai.
But
 he did like Shizune-senpai passably. And she was just caught up in the moment. But. He did have standards of behavior to uphold. He could not let her think that her behavior was appropriate or desirable.
"This isn't going to be an everyday thing," Sasuke warned darkly.
Shizune laughed in his ear and let him go. "Only on special occasions. I promise. Chya, that was wonderful timing! Were you saving that until the last minute before I had to go?"
He hadn't been, but he gave her a smirk that let her read whatever she wanted into his expression.
Aside from the fact that he had been drafted to cat-sit, all was going well. (and he was still a little taken aback that Karin had been bold enough to assume that he wouldn't mind, only telling him at the last minute because apparently 'the pet-sitters are so expensive it should be a crime, I wouldn't pay them if everyone else in the world were dead. Right, Smaug?' *angry meow*)
Though he liked cats in general and as a concept experienced from a distance and perhaps photographs, he wasn't pleased about that particular feline. There was something seriously wrong with it.
Sasuke didn't have the heart to tell Karin no, though he made clear it was just this once. Not for her own sake, but because he actually felt a little pity for Hinata, who would doubtlessly be the one to find a cat-caretaker if he didn't agree. Even if he hadn't worked in the Hokage's office and heard about every stupid thing that happened until he thought he would vomit, Sasuke would have known that something was seriously wrong with Hyuuga Hinata and her family.
Or rather, wrong with Hinata, as she had reneged completely on her name. She'd seemed a little surprised that her family was fighting her decision so hard, but they had no legal recourse to prevent her from leaving. If the clan head had been anyone other than Hyuuga Hiashi, Sasuke might have thought it was his inept way of proving that he wanted her to stay in the family.
As it was in fact, the notoriously unpleasant man in question, Sasuke rather thought that Hiashi was trying to cow his wayward daughter into obedience by frightening her with all the terrible things she would have to agree to.
She must have been prepared, because in the hearing where Sasuke had taken notes (Tsunade couldn't be bothered to attend such a farce) Hinata had shown a hundred times more spine than he'd ever imagined she could have. Hiashi must have regretted discarding the girl as useless—she looked more like an impassive, powerful leader than he did when he threatened her with a list of repercussions (and rapidly generating ability at faking impassivity), long past the point where it was obvious she already knew. It must be unpleasant to know your child is that desperate to get away from you.)
Yes, she was aware that she could never have biological children.
Yes, she was aware that she would have no last name unless she chose one for herself.
Yes, she was aware that she was legally bound to keep all the secrets of the Hyuuga and could not pass them along to students she might take.
Yes, she had something to add for the record. "Fuck you." A pause. "Thank you for your time, Hyuuga-san."
Sasuke had to look up for a moment and briefly contemplate if the literal insult was more biting than referring to her father by his last name and an insufficient title. Ouch.
Anko and Karin had broken out into thoroughly inappropriate clapping and hooting at that point, accompanied by surprised laughter from Kiba and near simultaneous face-palms from Kurenai and Shino. She had a pretty good cheering section, actually.
For the first time, he deigned to acknowledge her as a person beyond the social niceties when she had returned to file her final declaration paperwork the next day. She'd flushed tomato red and bit her lip before leaning into whisper, "I-I'd been practicing that for weeks."
Unfortunately, he seemed to be just about the only one outside her circle of friends who was impressed. Granted, most people didn't care. But he'd actually seen her spat at on the street by Branch Clan members (baffling, shouldn't they emphasize with her?) and noted that she didn't have many fans in the traditionalist sects of town either.
Morons. It was all well and good to say that one should be loyal to their clan, but if someone from the clan wronged you, then you had every right to retaliate. Hinata only had one form of recourse.
It was just as well that the only all-female team in the village had been designated to be Shizune's escort to Nadeshiko. Hinata needed to get out of town.
Although he saw the value in it now, that assignment had frankly perplexed him when Tsunade had talked through it. Did they really only have span style="font-weight: bold;"one/span female team? They weren't even an official unit, for crying out loud. Sasuke could think of three all-male units off the top of his head, plus the one that had the disturbingly masculine and uncouth Ino in it. (Sasuke had been raised to think that ladies didn't scream and hit people all the time, no matter how infuriating Shikamaru was. Well-bred people could keep their temper in check, ladies especially. If they had to retaliate, they would do so calmly and with sufficient severity to insure the problem would no longer continue.)
"We're almost fourteen," Naruto pointed out idly, five days before Aiko had to go back to Mist.
Understandably, she was preoccupied. Jiraiya had drawn up the exact seal she would be using and she had felt Naruto's own demonic chakra until she was certain she knew she could slap down the translation signals at the right frequency. With the seal memorized, all she really had to do was be prepared for anything that could go wrong.
That was surprisingly not soothing.
The most frustrating part was that Aiko was certain she almost understood what was going on. If she had just a little more time, she would be able to put together the pieces that she was reading into a coherent whole.
But the point was moot, as she already had been notified that Mei would be sending an escort to meet her. Mist was still insistent about not having Jiraiya in the village, and Tsunade had to agree after they pointed out what he'd done the last time he had been there. There was doubtlessly a great story there, but no one was telling it to Aiko.
Still, something very strange had to be going on. Why would Konoha let her go there without a friendly escort? Okay, Mist was supposedly friendly, she knew, but not in any real sense. She had to be missing something very important, and it nagged at her.
"Aiko?"
She came back to the real world with a start, rubbing her face with her free hand. "Sorry, I got distracted."
It was hard to care about her birthday when she would be doing the riskiest thing of her life to date on October sixth.
"What do you want to do?" He stood on the bed and bounced idly, reaching his fingers up to scrape at the ceiling. Little flakes of something white fluttered down to litter the bedcovers. She made a face.
Naruto incorrectly interpreted her expression, stopping his movements to point at her. It might have been more imposing if he hadn't been still bouncing slightly from the momentum he had accumulated. "Don't say you don't want to do anything! We can celebrate tonight. I bet there's lots of stuff to do here, in scenic
 Where are we, again?"
Aiko shrugged. She had no idea, frankly. Jiraiya liked to move them around a lot, and she'd been rather distracted.
Naruto steamrolled past that potential problem with his usual brand of nonchalant bravado. "Let's go already?"
"Alright, alright," she sighed, heaving herself to her feet. She had barely left the books for a month and a half. Maybe she should get some sun. Her performance might be better if she were relaxed than if she crammed, anyways.
She wasn't entirely sure where Jiraiya was at that moment. He often went out at night. Aiko pulled aside the curtain and blinked out. "Huh. It's still day."
"Naruto gave her a scathing look. "You really do need to get out of the room sometimes."
"I do," she protested weakly. "I leave every da-"
He rolled his eyes, anticipating her argument. "Workouts don't count."
When they walked out, Naruto pocketing the key, Aiko felt that she vaguely remembered arriving in this particular town. She let her feet guide her to the business district. That wasn't hard, largely because hotels tended to be near the attractions.
'Not that there's much to be attracted to,' she thought dryly. Jiraiya seemed to like thoroughly boring towns. It wasn't a particularly small place by any means, but it seemed to be an agricultural community with very little to do. Heavens only knew what Jiraiya could be doing out all night, coming back in the early morning smelling of perfume. What indeed. Aiko had chosen not to enlighten her poor brother. He seemed completely convinced that Jiraiya was repulsive and no woman would ever like him. Aiko wasn't attracted herself—that would be taking the concept of the 'older man' a bit too far—but she could see the appeal in a detached sort of way.
Naruto, in contrast to her boredom, seemed to think that everything was the Best Thing Ever. A new jutsu? Best Thing Ever. A movie he'd seen a dozen times? Also the Best Thing Ever! A new friend? Best Thing Ever! Homicidal Maniac? New Best Friend, which translates to Best Thing Ever!
That was slightly exaggerated, but Aiko didn't think anyone would blame her. To be fair, (to her knowledge) he'd only made friends with one homicidal lunatic, and she'd done her best to befriend the same one. Yeah. That holds up to scrutiny.
Okay, maybe they would blame her. She decided not to make that joke aloud, even if Naruto's inadvertent impression of a Golden Retriever on crack cocaine was hilarious.
When the escort did come, Aiko was surprised to see someone she recognized. It took only a few seconds to guess at the meaning behind the selection of a one-man squad.
"Ao-san, thank you for escorting me." She gave a respectful bow, feeling Jiraiya's ambient body heat from her side and knowing it would probably be best to deflect tensions.
The Mizukage's bodyguard had probably been sent for both practical and political reasons. Firstly, it eliminated any chance that Mist could claim this operation had not fallen under their purview. That protected Konoha if it fell through. That thought soothed her raw nerves slightly.
The second implication that came to mind was that it could be meant for emher/em comfort—she only knew a few Mist-nin and Ao wasn't particularly friendly, but at least she could be relatively certain she wasn't being led into an ambush by a separatist. The thought had crossed her mind. Doubtlessly Mist had done their best to keep the location and time of the sealing confidential, but there was always someone better and smarter than you (unless you were Kakashi-shishou).
The selection was also practical due to Ao's elite status and hidden, 'secret' Byakugan. He would be well-equipped to detect and deal with any deception on her or Konoha's part. Even without knowing about his hidden eye (as she had to pretend) seeing him might have made her wary about her chances of succeeding at any plot./
Luckily for her, there was no secret plot. All she had to do was fulfill Konoha's part of the bargain.
Sai would rather have preferred that it did not come to this. He felt no particular desire to harm the strange girl who had been his teammate the last time he had been in this country. Then again, he also did not feel a particular desire to harm the three root members who were his teammates now.
It would be a stretch to claim that Sai liked Uzumaki Aiko or that he had any feelings towards her in particular at all. He simply did not, even though she occasionally inspired something that might be confusion (an itch in his throat that wanted to be satisfied with a question, but no). But she was a useful source of information despite being less emotionally volatile than the Uchiha he'd had to shadow, a respectable combatant, and she appealed to him aesthetically. Perhaps he would draw something inspired by her if she was killed.
Another man might have been thinking of her exotic coloring or smile when he thought that. Sai found her interesting despite them, instead of because of them. Or rather, the way that her flat character seemed to contrast with the bright colors she wore, like a rainbow twisted into a poisonous serpent with white, white teeth and a pointed smile. She would translate well to two dimensions, he thought.
He still had yet to investigate what she had babbled about after he had informed her that she had a certain flatness about her. At least it was less displeasing feedback than what he had gotten after he realized that the Uchiha's poor attitude could only be compensating for something. Perhaps one was not supposed to give honest character assessments when bestowing nicknames? Then again, if that were true, the Uzumaki might have reacted with more force, as the Uchiha had. Difficult to say.
But he had been told to ingratiate himself into their fold, and so he had to learn how to blend in with them. Regardless of the problems that his literary resources had not anticipated, he had been told to learn, and so he would.
Ingratiating himself had gone much more smoothly with the Uzumaki than it had with the Uchiha. He had done his best to hold a conversation with the young male, but even his best efforts had not yielded anything nearly as successful as his conversation with the Uzumaki about art.
There would be further opportunities for practice. He had been told not to damage village resource Uzumaki unless absolutely necessary and make certain she could return despite the pursuing Mist squad she would undoubtedly have. The only example of a rare bloodline ability was to be preserved if at all possible for further usage, but measurably less valuable than a newly made, vulnerable jinchuuriki. In the first few hours after the sealing, the jinchuuriki would lose consciousness and be completely unable to call upon the tailed beast even if they knew how.
Sai had to blink himself back to the real world when his next footstep actually made a whisper of sound and three masks swiveled to look at him as if for orders. He noticed with a slight decrease in impassivity that he had drifted away into his own thoughts for several seconds. That was most inappropriate. He couldn't let Danzo-sama down.

Tumblr media
Luca is greeting you with this amazing scene, just to make you want to go and kill those reporter guys who badmouthed the Besaid Aurochs - I get that they never won a game, but this is still no reason to be so mean to them.
Tumblr media
Its fun that no one in Spira ever questioned Mikas age. Even if he started very young, 50 years is a long time to do something like that and one should question how he even managed to survive this long in a world were Sin is constantly killing people. But honestly? When Tidus made that comment, back in the day when I played the game for the first time, I didn’t really think much about it either.
Tumblr media
You better get used to this man, because we will see him A LOT more then we would like too in the future. Trust me, at some point its getting ridiculously old ^^’
Tumblr media
The scene were he stared at Yuna like this was creepy. But one could hardly figure out back then what it meant. It is interesting tho that Tidus noticed it. The slow but steady buildup for the wedding was really nicely done.
Tumblr media
The one time I actually came close to winning, was the one time I actually read all that garbage and played close attention to the rules and all. However, I have long given up on this bullshit ^^’
Tumblr media
Why did no one ever wonder that this was the freaking first time in ten fucking years that he has been seen in Spira ever since defeating Sin? People are just like some fangirls screaming: “OMG! ITS SIR AURON! HIGH SUMMONER LORD BRASKAS GUARDIAN! KYAAA! ♄” or so and just be happy about it. Not wondering, no asking questions. I don’t get it.
What I also don’t get is... why Yuna assumed that Tidus knew who Auron was. She explained shortly after that Sir Auron was her fathers guardian too, but when she came rushing into the teams locker-room, she was like: “Someone saw Sir Auron in a CafĂ©â€ and didn’t even question it, when Tidus asked “Auron” like he knew who she talked about.
Tumblr media
This seems like such in unimportant, cute, yet silly scene, but it will hold a lot of meaning throughout this game and the sequel. I never forget when Yuna accidentally landet in the fareplan in X-2 and Tidus whistling guided her back up. I thought I was going to burst into tears. I knew the infamous “Hahaha” - scenes is more iconic for many, but this scene is the one that hold true meaning to Tidus and Yuna as a ship.
Tumblr media
It makes you wonder how it comes that Kimari looks considerably smaller, even tho he is obviously “pure” and not a halfbreed or something. Guess its like with us people tho, genes are just do what they want with us and we have to live with it, like it or not.
I did “like” it however, that the game was always realistic about stuff like that. If you are different in any way, shape or form, you are never well liked or accepted, people like me who got bullied through a large part of their life can sing a song about this. And what most of us also can agree with, is that IF people like us find a place among people, then we are a odd one among other odd people. Tidus and Kimari are no different here. I mean, look at Yuna and her Guardians. She is basically still a child, Wakka is a naive looser, Lulu is... well... Lulu, if you get me. Tidus comes from a “different world” and Kimari doesn’t fit into the standards of his own race. In their very own way, they are all odd and outsiders, even tho most of them try to fit in very badly. If you add Auron and Rikku to that mix, you have a hand full of odd outsiders who doesn’t really fit in anywhere. Which, once again, makes it really realistic.
Tumblr media
Yuna would have been kidnapped by them either way. Kind of mean of them to use her as a hostage for the game on top of that.
Tumblr media
I couldn’t help but feel like there was a dirty meaning behind this sentence, especially after Tidus said “Ouch” like that XD But of course that would be indicating that Lulu and Wakka had some sort of intimate relationship at some point and I guess we should safely assume that we are not there yet. (Not that they wasted any time after they were there XD) Although I always felt like Wakka was in love with Lulu from the start but left her to Chappu because that is how things went. And after Chappu was gone... he was likely a bit lost on how to deal with that situation. But that is just me overthinking shipping stuff as per usual.
Tumblr media
A game lasts roughly 10 minutes. There are at least 5 teams participating and almost right after the Aurochs won their first game they have to fight another one? I get that this is like a “one day” - tournament, but isn’t that a bit unfair to the exhausted players? Shouldn’t that have been like the first match for everyone, like the opening match and then everyone else should fight until the final and... it doesn’t even make sense like that ^^’ Although, maybe this is like an hour afterwards and Wakka is just still out... Lulu said he wouldn’t last after all XD
Tumblr media
She has not been talking well about him... but you could see in this scene that in fact, she had been worried about him and that she was also proud of him and that cuddling him didn’t feel bad to her at all. It was a fine happy shipping-moments, although those two still have a long way to go.
Tumblr media
I mean, it was complicated with them, for obvious reasons. My theory about Wakka always having feelings for Lulu aside, she loved his little brother and said brother died... in a sense, he even died for her, because he wanted to protect her. It suirely isn’t easy to find it in yourself to confess your feelings to your brothers “widow”, especially knowing how Wakka is nothing like Chappu and that he basically takes the woman his brother loved. Also, for Lulu, falling for the big brother might have been rather confusing, given how they are so very different and it also begs the question why she only fell in love with Wakka after Chappus death. Plus, Lulu is stubborn and Wakka is stupid, so confessing - all complicated issues aside - is its very own problem already for those two ^^’

01 - Are you named after anyone?
First name: nope Second name: yep, after my grandma
02 - When was the last time you cried?
About a week ago bc I was laughing too hard Also techinically this morning. My eyes just started tearing up a bit while I was still in bed & staring against the wall. I guess that white wall was just tugging at my heartstrings

The only children I have are my OCs <3 My current beloved OCs are Aym, Marchosias (💖💖💖💖💖), and Baal; all for Obey Me
04 - What sports do you play/have you played?
So as a kid, I took MSE (self-defense) classes, I did ballet for a short while, and I played badminton. But now I'm not really doing much sports anymore. I'm occasionally working out in a sad attempt to stay healthy but that's...not working out all that well because I keep forgetting about it lol. That being said, I walk anywhere as long as it's a walkable distance away (to me, that's around 90min max), idc it's the European mindset. Der Fußbus hĂ€lt ĂŒberall :)
05 - Do you use sarcasm?
As if I would ever smh what are these accusations
06 - What is the first thing you notice about people?
When I pass strangers on the street, I try to look for little moments that bring them joy. That being said, 90% of the time I'm just lost in my own thoughts & have completely tunnel vision, so imagine noticing anything 😭 When I first meet people tho, it's usually the way they look at you, which tbh is a little ironic because I sometimes just cannot look people in the eyes NFDHSKGJHKSDLGS
07 - What's your eye color?
They used to be blue, but now they're more of a greyish green with a few brown spots in them
08 - Scary movies or happy endings?
Okay endings, actually! Where characters don't get the happy ending they were hoping for, and some things are still a little messy, but all in all things are okay and they finally get to breath again. Though I guess that's kind of a happy ending? lol
09 - Any talents?
My newest talent is being able to imitate the cry of an owl. My sister explained it to me earlier & once I got it to work I've been doing it non-stop until I got lightheaded 😭 Worth it tho Other than that, being able to teach myself the basics of a lot of things within a day (one of the upsides of ADHD), as well as abandoning a lot of my projects after a while because I suddenly decided to start a completely different one (one of the downsides of ADHD) I also have a real talent for writing angst. Ask any of my closer mutuals, I keep terrorizing them with my ideas (love you guys 💖) And finally: telling myself that I'll go to sleep early & then it's 5am
10 - Where were you born?
in Germanyyy fun fact: I was born more or less close to a town that has a store called 'Mephisto' lol
11 - What are your hobbies?
being insane, obviously 💚 some of my mutuals can surely attest to that lol No, but in general I enjoy writing & drawing, as well as, uhm. Randomly deciding to take up multiple really time-consuming projects, such as the OM card rec thing I did that I still need to update ahhhh, my Obey Me OC & MC ask game that originally had 200+ questions before I cut it in half out of fear of it being too long, half of my side blogs, and SOOOO many other things. <- or in short, being insane 💚 I also really love cooking & baking! Side note, if anyone wants an easy chocolate lava cake recipe, you just need to ask... 👀 Also lately it's just been romancing Thanatos in Hades because I randomly remembered that I hadn't done that yet
12 - Do you have any pets?
I used to have clownfish and a starfish, but other than that I've never had any myself. I love the dogs I dogsit with all my heart tho, and there is this cat that I sometimes meet on my way to work. She always runs up to me when she sees me and won't stop meowing until I start petting her, and last time she climbed onto my lap (I sat down in the middle of the sidewalk, I did not care lmao), she's literally the sweetest 😭😭 I also ring the doorbell for her whenever it rains so she doesn't have to stay outside lol
13 - How tall are you?
1,68m or 5'6 if I got the conversion correct lol
14 - Favourite subject in school?
Heavily depended on the teacher, but generally art class because we usually got to work on whatever we wanted with and listen to music. Also English in 9th grade, math in 10th and German in 11th because the teachers were great
15 - Dream job?
I've been thinking of translations in general/software localizition for a while now. I just love dissecting all the small differences between languages (D.D.D.s being called 'D3' my beloved), + there are so many invisble choices made when translating. You'll always lose something because every language has its little quirks and a different mindset that can't be translated directly, but you'll also gain something that the original version didn't have. It's an art form in itself, and I really love that <3 The other job that keeps popping into my mind is event mangement. I already get to organize a ton of things for my uni since I'm part of the student council for one of my two majors. It's exhausting, but also really rewarding when you have people come up to you afterwards to tell you how much fun they had!
No pressure tags for a bunch of people, hehe >:) @alpine-forget-me-nots @healersadjust @misc-magic @sweetbrier2908 @reblogs-are-the-love @shootingstarrfish @mjoria @too-much-gacha @layphie @katboykirby @ghostlyyraccoon @lost-in-lamentation @bagofwetmice @glamphantasm @wizardthesai @mellonyheart @arlatthan as well as anyone else that wants to join!

TOXIC NEIGHBOR UPDATE!
Haha so police were involved again.
SO a little context: I mentioned in the past that my downstairs neighbor who lives across from Asshat, Tim, has a Japanese wife (we’ll call her Yuki) and two small kids. They’ve had problems with Asshat in the past including his dogs nearly attacking their children and the main issue for today’s story: The garden in front of Tim and Yuki’s unit.
Now that garden area belongs to Tim’s property and has stood empty even before he’s bought the place and moved in. Shortly after tho, Asshat started putting his own garbage and eventually planting his own stuff (mostly unwanted plants they don’t want in their own patio) in their garden which rightfully annoys them. They confront him and tell him to please take his stuff out of their property but he insists that NO it’s a COMMON area and that he’s been living there for 12 years so he has a right to put whatever he wants in there. Just to make sure, Yuki and Tim called the HOA to confirm and they said no, that it is NOT a common area it belongs to Tim. Besides the point tho, Asshat is RENTING so he doesn’t own any property including his own so he shouldn’t have been able tp plant stuff without his landlords permission in the first place. So, they asked Asshat once again to remove his shit off their property and he refused.
Well, TODAY as I’m working I hear a huge commotion and banging outside. It’s Asshat and Yuki screaming at each other. Apparently their family bought a whole bunch of flowers and stuff to finally put in THEIR garden but of course they have to take out Asshat’s unwanted plants. But as soon as Ass saw he flipped out on them and told them they couldn’t touch his stuff. He then threatens to have his Dogs to attack Yuki after which she goes into Mama bear Mode and tells him to not touch her or her children. At some point she kicks his screen door where the dogs are barking and now it’s just a solid 5 minutes of shouting and banging. 
I’m only hearing all this stuff from inside my house but I immediately call the cops cuz I’m worried someone might get hurt. I can see other neighbors from my window have come out of their houses and some have even tried to step in to de-escelate the situation. I can immediately hear Asshat trying to be the victim claiming that she’s the aggressor, but thankfully they can see that he’s in the wrong cuz it’s not his property to fight over. And finally! Witnesses! As I’m on the phone with the police they’re still shouting outside. It probably wouldn’t have mattered if I had called cuz I know both Asshat and Yuki were threatening to call the cops on the other and had already begun to shortly after I had been on the phone with them.
After, I immediately called Yuki to see if she’s OK while Tim tries to talk to Asshat. Of course she and her children are very emotional and shaken. They relayed all their troubles to the police and they told them it wasn’t OK for Asshat to do what he did, but beyond that just to call them again if anything happened. They asked for my advice and I just told them to once again, contact the HOA-- try to record everything. Call Asshat’s landlord cuz I was able to acquire the phone number two weeks ago, and I was willing to corroborate all their stories. I also reminded them to keep the Dog repellant device I had given Yuki for protection a while back. Bring up his drug usage if it’s not for medicinal purposes cuz it might break the rental agreement, the aggressive dogs and threats, the trespassing and to check the HOA rules on if the breed of dogs he has is not permitted. 
I was just so stressed for them. Tim revealed to me later that when he asked Asshat why he threatened to have his dogs attack his wife he said “I was scared of her, I don’t know if she knows karate.” 
HIM. scared of HER. a tiny, Japanese woman that he DWARFS and could easily throw her around. And karate??? What cuz she’s Asian??? Like, not only are you a liar sir, you are fucking racist and I AM SO MAD. 
Anyway I really hope he gets some fucking consequences cuz they definitely didn’t deserve that. What a fucking menace.
Edit: Thanks to everyone who advised about calling animal control to report his threats using his dogs. I told Tim this and he said he might do that. He also said Yuki is considering filing a restraining order.

Hello Anon! ❀ it feels like you are witnessing a great love story, cause you really are. lol. Welcome! I try my best to explain things just so people don’t get lost and end up getting information from pretty shady sources which is what I think happened to you here. I cut all the parts on the rumors about that person cause that’s just anti garbage. Your ask had your answer already, he seems so in love with zhan ge. There you go. If it feels right to you, then it almost always is. Tho I understand the doubt cause these hetero agendas are pretty strong + blame it on how we were all thought that this type of relationship is right.
Now let me address those rumors as quickly as possible cause i’m not a clarification account. & I feel like i’m losing brain cells when I look at posts from antis. Help!!!! đŸ˜­đŸ€Ł
Let me start by saying that there are rumors that I expect to come out, and these are from his co-stars. Those are a given. One is to generate traffic for their project and so on. But what you can observe is that those girls who he literally worked with? None of the rumors about them stayed. Because it’s just work for him + mild publicity. Plus they all have one thing they are saying, he doesn’t talk much. He’s not so sweet with them.
There are very thorough posts on Wb from Yeebo’s ST debunking every single evidence. I will try and find it but no promises. I just skim those cause I don’t really believe this type of rumors so I don’t save it.
‱ Now moving on to QMH. This is a touchy subject for me cause I just hate that he keeps getting dragged into this. How many clarifications does his team have to give out regarding this person? Well of course Antis will tell you, ‘ he is just doing that to keep it a secret.’ LOL. Web literally sued accounts that talk about this. Here is a post that debunks some of the points and more. Plus this one where Web is just so done with all the rumors from last year. And why is it always a blurry picture? A ‘hint’ post and they are never photographed clearly. lol. The one time paps followed him on a date, what they got was a pic of him and GG. I remember seeing a vague pic of a girl, who is allegedly her and someone who they say is Yeebooo. Which is — sorry, that’s not him. THAT MAN they are pointing at had a whole entourage with him. You know Yeebo only goes out with his bodyguards and not an entourage of what looks like early 20s men on a vacation. lol. Also the only thing he had in common with that MAN is he was wearing a cap. 💀 There is so much more and I wish I had that link to the clarification post. đŸ„Č
‱ Here is a good one debunking those photos of him with MMQ who is in the same company as him. the lengths people would go. really.
‱ the pretty recent one with him allegedly riding a red sports car with a girl, which is later on found to be a still from a movie. lol. See how stupid this is? They will literally do anything to get the clicks at the expense of Web and his team’s time.
‱ this one that he also recently put out a statement for, the girl also did. So one point yxh were saying is the girl had the same dog Web cared for in this đŸ‘‡đŸŒepisode of TTXS. They are saying it’s a shared pet. but we all know that dog is not his but the staff’s whose son he spent time with. but the general public don’t know that. esp those who don’t watch TTXS.
there’s a whole thread with that girl and it’s just insane. BJYX type clowning but with no context. they were comparing their houses. them having the same pose on ONE FREAKIN photo. even the douyin Web posted of him dancing— which is like, a viral tiktok dance. Excuse me? lol.
youtube
‱ and a random one just to give an example of how baseless these rumors are and how anyone can literally say they dated Web for clout. This is coming from a person who he’s never been seen in the same room with —- so i’m not sure why people gobble it all up. much less a fan of Yibo.
Is there any other random girl I missed?
I mean no shade to those women, especially the ones that were just innocently dragged into this. At this point, I just laugh (tiredly) every time he has to clarify stuff like this. Wasting his resources and time.
I hope this helped Anon! 💚
Note : This post and the links I provided made me miss @jcisthebestfightme who was the best in debunking Web related dating issues. 😭 they were always so much more patient in looking at things like this than any of us. 💀

God I have sO MANY thoughts abt ALitM
Like, first off: MAGGOTTAIL IS ALIVE AND HE’S GOT LORE!!
Kinda miffed they decided to make him a ShadowClan cat bc we already have so many in the DF/it kinda feels like an “all Slytherins are evil” situation (and also I was hoping since he was said to be one of the oldest (if not the oldest) DF residents that maybe he’d be from SkyClan) and w/ how he went from an intimidating DF leader to acting like a naive child (like, c’mon, man, you’ve been here far longer than everyone else and you actually believed Ashfur’s BS?) who’s apparently just another “I wanted to be leader and was impatient” villain (tho let’s be real the Erins were never gonna make his crimes as dark as the ones the fandom came up w/ lmao that part’s on me)
Second: is it just me, or did the whole scene w/ Bramblestar and the other leaders when Shadowsight first came back from the DF feel like a slap in the face to the fandom for calling him abusive?? Like, Leafstar, the leader who’s had absolutely zero prior experience w/ the DF, expresses a very valid concern that maybe Bramblestar isn’t the same cat he once was due to having been trapped in the DF for ages and possessed by Ashfur, and everyone flips shit on her bc he’s “a true warrior” and there’s no way he “could be anything but brave and honorable” (those are actual quotes. I hate it here). Like to me it felt like the Erins Kate mocking the fandom for daring to suggest Bramblestar is anything but a good cat when he’s absolutely garbage lmao
Third: the callback to Into the Wild where Firestar and Graystripe ambush one another made me tear up bc my god the nostalgia I felt (hella mad that there was no Sandstorm, Ravenpaw, or even Dustpelt tho 😭). Also teared up w/ Graystripe’s death and the random Firestar POV, which like,,,, what was up w/ that, actually?? Like could he do that this whole time?? Can anyone in StarClan do that?? I loved getting a Firestar POV again but I wish there had been an explanation for it as well as for Darkstripe’s random revival bc Rootspring mentions that he’d pushed him into the water in TPonS so like??? Erins explain pls
Fourth: the misogyny in this book is astounding. Leafpool mentions how she had to fight to be accepted into StarClan for breaking the code
.and then literally on the same page Firestar teases the cat she broke the code w/ abt breaking the code. Then there’s the whole Bristlefrost being permakilled thing (not even gonna go into that bc this ask is already long enough lol) and how Lightleap was actually going to have plot relevance
.. until the Erins decided “wait we can’t have a female sibling of a MC contribute meaningfully to the plot so uh actually she’s a coward. Send in the heavily injured cat w/ limited fighting skills instead pls”. Erins write actual decent female characters challenge.
Fifth bc I needed some more positivity in this ask: I’m actually pleasantly surprised w/ how the Erins handled Ashfur’s incell-ness?? Like, given the above point I lowkey expected more victim-blaming of Squilf/excusing of Ashfur’s actions, but they actually stuck to it and condemned his actions?? They def didn’t do things perfectly, but my gosh was it refreshing to have all the blame be placed solely on Ashfur and be reminded that you don’t owe anyone anything just bc they happen to like you
Anyway, I liked the book overall but my goodness did the Erins drop the ball in so many places here 😭 Love your blog and sorry this got so long lol I just had to get these thoughts out
Hiya! Dw I don’t mind it being long lol, I’m glad you like this blog! I’ll answer each point you make in the way you’ve listed them
First: yeah finally a bit of Maggottail lore! I personally had hoped he would have been a SkyClan cat to tie in to the now retconned Su Susan stuff but oh well. It does kind of feel that every evil cat is being lumped into ShadowClan lol. And yeah it feels odd that he believed the whole “pull out your whiskers” thing. To me he came across as quite an old soul in the dark forest from what little of him we saw prior, it feels a bit weird to make him fall for that.
Second: I completely agree
Third: I loved that callback too. And yeah the Firestar possession raised quite a few questions lol. I guess this is the Erin’s way of saying what Ashfur did to Bramblestar’s body is something technically all StarClan cats can do but they’re too good to even consider doing it? And yeah considering how deadly the water was in this book Darkstripe was certainly lucky to survive it, maybe the water’s deadliness strengthened as the forest shrunk more
Fourth: Again, I completely agree
Fifth: I hadn’t thought of that, and yeah I agree. If nothing else, in this arc it has been pretty clear they are trying to show that someone like Ashfur doesn’t belong in StarClan and props to them for actually acknowledging this rather than allowing it to be swept under the rug and not admit that this choice was a mistake, and showing how Ashfur’s incelness is directly tied to his villainy

Hi there! Can I request the boys' reaction to you being jealous? Maybe Y/N saw someone flirt with the boys'? 💓
Ooh yes, enjoy 🌿💚💚
Harem!AU
BTS’s Reaction to You Getting Jealous

Kim Taehyung
You and Taehyung were on one of your guys’ rare missions set out by the organization. Even if you are the ruler, your original roots are from the organization so you are obligated to carry a mission when needed. This mission is one of those that is set in a very luxurious brothel. The target is a wellknown business man who has a hobby of meeting up with beauties at night. To say the least, every beauty that is here tonight is more than what meets the eyes. Most would say that they are desperate for money, others would think that they are born from lust, itself; however, whatever way an individual choose to believe, it all comes down to their first night together. Once they have done the deed, those people are forever hooked with those venomous snakes.
Your guys’ organization is very hidden even in the underworld, so all members must wear a covering to prevent exposing their identity. Y/N was wearing a full on mask that represent your alias ‘ Pheonix’. Unlike you, Taehyung chosed to be more revealing and risky, wearing only a thin black veil that can easily be ripped off. Of course, with his not very strong physique, it is extremely risky for him to wear such a frail covering but you decided not to say anything as it is in his right to wear anything he wanted to. But what you are going to do is stick by his side while holding a sword for the rest of the night.
Like any other missions, this one went smoothly. You both managed to finish the guy without anyone noticing courtesy to your deathly abilities and Taehyung’s sharp mind. What didn’t go as plan was that one of the snakes managed to ripped Taehyung’s veil off, revealing his pretty face. Further more, the ‘beauty’ thought that it would be alright to flirt and woo him into her bed. Furious at how daring she was, you decided that it was finally time to end her career. Unsheathing your sword, it only took a few movements of your experienced hand for the deed to be done. Taehyung, confused at what had happened could only offer you a stunned expression. Deciding not to answer him, you sped up your pace, leaving him to run after you. Ignoring him on the way, Taehyung could only pout, trying to get you to forgive him. When he finally managed to forced an answer out of you, he found himself snuggling himself in your hold, trying to persuade you to forgive him; promising that he would not be that reckless again.
“ Y/NNNN, talk to me please? I won’t do it again. I will stick to your side the next time we’re on another mission so forgive me. Please?”
Kim Namjoon
Have you ever have an apprentice that never leaves your side the moment they saw you? Well congratulations, this is one of those scenarios. Recently, you have decided to start enlisting many potential talents for the countless open spots in the various offices. Unsurprisingly, the medicinal department was also short of staff so they were in need of receiving more apprentices. As the head of the department, Namjoon has the final say on who is allowed to enter the department. Lucky for him not for you tho, there are many unpolished gem that wants these positions. Being the wise person he is, he managed to earn the respect of many adolescents on the very first day. All of them were curious children who needed a mentor to help guide them in order to become successful. To Namjoon, there was a particular apprentice that stood out to him. She was very interested in medicine and is highly intelligent in the field so he decided to let her be his private apprentice— who stays by his side every second he is in office and maybe even more.
Anyways, with how much that little girl is staying with Namjoon, it would make sense that she would also accompany him for your monthly checkup as well. The moment you saw that girl walk through the door, you were stunned. Stunned for Namjoon breaking the organization’s rules, and stunned that the girl managed to catch Namjoon’s attention that he was willing to even set his life on the line for her. Before Namjoon could explain the reason of that girl being there, you decided that it was within your right to kick the both of them out. Now, this might be the reason listed above and could be more but for Namjoon, he interpreted your commands as a warning. That if he were to expose his identity, he will absolutely receive none of your help and will have to deal with that on his own.
Acknowledging that you were probably right, he decided to reassigned the girl to another physician after your multiple attempts of ignoring him — not wanting to get in between his problems as it’s too risky. The next time you guys’ had a monthly checkup, the girl was nowhere in sight but your silent treatment still remained firm. Knowing that it was his fault, Namjoon could only apologize and would not do it again. He then slowly walked over to the desk near your bed and began making a concoction of herbs to help calm you down. However, unlike his usual calm self, he had clumsily shattered a few bowls while at it. Y/N could only sighed before bending down and cleaning it up before going over to him to check on his wounds. How could you let your intelligent yet clumsy physician if he were to break things everytime he crawl back to you and apologize?
“ I apologized, Y/N. I was not in my right state of mind to consider the possible risks that it would bring to our organizations. I was too excited when I saw her thesis that I completely lost my rationale.”
Jung Hoseok
Because of his wretched father, Hoseok found himself having to return to his old home every couple of weeks. His father had complained to you that Hoseok was neglecting his maternal family the moment that he was wedded to you. Y/N, not wanting to create a bigger mess, managed to convince Hoseok to return to his home every once in awhile which leads us back to the current situation. Before Hoseok got wedded to Y/N, he already had a fiancé which he has bonded throughout most of his childhood. Of course, Hoseok only saw her as a friend who he has a platonic relationship with or simply a sister, but that was far from what the girl had wanted. His ex-fiancé, Miyoung was studying abroad so she was not immediately notified of him entering the harem but the minute she got informed, she was packing her belongings and heading back.
The trip started out as any other with Hoseok getting greeted the moment he enters the front yard by the matriarch along with his father and countless servants. This time however, the moment he saw Miyoung standing courteously behind his father, Hoseok wanted nothing more than to run for the carriage that had already left. You see, when Miyoung confessed her feelings to him—who did not her and got rejected; she did everything in her power to get engaged to him and that was how she became his fiancĂ©. From that day on, Hoseok’s relationship with her only continued to sour before they were not contacting for months on end when she’s studying abroad. The matriarch—who did not agreed on him marrying Y/N, purposely set the both of them together, wanting the pair to interact together. This idea was not only reckless and unecessary as it it basically threading your position as his spouse and have him cheat on the ruler of the nation. Hoseok’s matriarch had also stupidly decided to invite you to come as well, wanting you to witness the couple’s strong bond personally.
Knowing that you could not deny her offer as they are still one of the major families, you had coincidentally entered the room at the time when Miyoung was being extra touchy. The sight, however, did not stunned you but only made you more confused. Questions began to erupt from your mouth asking about the situation while watching Hoseok desperately trying to escape Miyoung’s grip the moment he saw you. Expectedly, the matriarch’s answer is utter garbage, knowing that this is all a setup. Deciding to just stand there and wait for Hoseok to escape from Miyoung, you observed the main contirbutor’s expressions, silently judging their ability to properly. But the moment Hoseok managed to move within your arm’s length, you could feel his little suprised gasp as you pulled him into your hold before leading him out of the place not before warning to not touch what is yours. On your guys’ way home, Hoseok tried to explain what you had witnessed but instead got the silent treatment. Let’s say that it was extremely daring to touch a assassin’s possessions but a nation’s ruler as well is simply too moronically.
“ It was not what you think, your highness. We may not know each other for long but I’m incredibly loyal! That girl was my fiancĂ© before I got wedded to you but I don’t love her! Please believe me!”
Min Yoongi
You getting jealous with Yoongi would happened on a blue moon as he is frequently seen by your side and that most people inside the palace hate his family too much to hit on him but it does still happen. Like any other day, Yoongi is with you in your office helping you with the minor tasks. Seeing how he was getting comfortable with the tasks you had given him, you decided that it was time for him to interact with some other officers in the smaller departments. Yoongi, of course was extremely nervous but wanted to make you proud so he quickly set off to his destination. The task you assigned was quite simple; getting the finished manuscripts that have been assigned yesterday. Everything seemed to go smoothly but what did not was the officers’ attitude towards Yoongi.
As they were considered to be quite young, they must have not know that the boy that is getting is one of your consorts as Yoongi usually prefers to dress in casual clothing; they decided that it was appropriate to flirt with him during office hours. With him having a more petite and delicate figure, it was extremely easy to turn him into their little doll— well or so they had thought. Sensing their hidden intentions towards him, Yoongi quickly asked for the needed documents before hurriedly making his way back. Unfortunately, before he can make his way past the entrance, a pair of hands grabbed his torso, restricting his movement. The officer began to whisper disgusting words in his hears causing Yoongi to instinctly attemp escape. Thanks to his previous training, he managed to escape their grip and ran out of the office, desperately running back to you.
Unexpedtly the officers decided to chase him, still thinking that his master is some low-rank minister that they could easily persuade. Lucky for them, Yoongi directly ran towards your courtyard but before they managed to realized where he was heading towards, they were caught by the guards that had seen the commotion. The moment that Yoongi ran into you arms, you felt your adrenaline spiked as your poor consort slightly trembles and only offered you faint whimpers as answers to your questions. Deciding that this was not meant for him, you assigned another type of tasks after he ha recovered. To say the least, those officers were never seen again the morning after that.
“ T-t-hey touched me while whispered those erotic words in my ears. I’m sorry, you majesty, I couldn’t acomplished the task when they trapped me in their hold. I began to panicked and...”
Jeon Jungkook
Aside from being a bastard’s child, Jungkook could also be described as an outstanding male from many perspectives. So of course, many girls and eunuchs would be constantly be flirty with the young guard. Many, however, is smart enough to avoid doing said activities around you but there are still some that does not have the brain to think rationally. The longer he is under your teaching, the more polite he becomes. Unfortunately, his seemingly innocent greetings was misunderstood by these brainless fellows which resulted in quite a few episodes of misunderstanding. To Jungkook, he is using the people around him as a tool to help him enhance his logical thinking to not burden you as much but it seemed like his efforts had caused quite the tensions within the harem. Many maids would began to form groups and bet on who would end up with him. The competitions began to become so popular tha it even reaches your ears!
As you became more aware of the gossips within the harem, many are targeted towards your personal bodyguard. As the days goes by, the seemingly pile of gossips about Jungkook became to get bigger until you decided that it would be best to stop his lessons altogether deeming that it was no use to him. As first, Jungkook was quite confused on how sudden you decided to cancel his lessons and ultimately blamed it on himself. Thinking that he had burdened you, Jungkook once again turned into his past self. Hiding his emotions as it does not matter how much he tries to improve on himself if his master does not think that he is worthy.
However, before he gets fully entitled to that state, you managed to come in at the right time and bring him out again. This is however, quite the process as he now want you to be proud of him. His self-esteem would not be as high as before as he had already registered in his mind that he had dissapointed you. Even though the process would take awhile, the end result would be worth it. Jungkook would be his best self yet and is continually striving to make you proud of him.
“ I know that you are dissapoin— you’re not? No, you must be lying! If you aren’t dissapointed then why did you have to stop the lessons. Was I too troublesome? I’m not? Are you sure? You must be accountable to your words and resume our lessons, then!”
Kim Seokjin
As a merchant, Seokjin is known to be skillful in negotiating terms with different customers. Most of the times, it would benefit his business but at the same time, his relationship with you would be on a thin string. As you guys continue to bond, different feelings would naturally develop and jealousy would definately not be excluded.
With the Y/N dynasty being a new dynasty, it would make sense that you have to put in much more effort to gain alliances with the surrounding countries neighbouring you. And of course, one of the princess that was sent as an ambassador had to know the talented merchant in some sort of way. You then found out that the two became friends over their love for jewelry and talking about whatever through the night and into the early mornings. Seeing how closed they were, you decided that it would be incredibly polite for you to ignore them and focus your attention on the rest of your guests and your consorts.
Usually, whenever Seokjin would offer you a flirty comment, you woul jokingly replied back with another one of sort as well but that was not what happened tonight. Your replies towards his jokes were quite distant and cold with you having your attention on someone as but him. Seokjin, who was not used to this treatment soon found out your reasons after the banquet and ultimately decided to tease you which only ended in him whining about how childish you’re being.
“ You’re jealous! Over her? HAH! You must have fallen in love with my handsome face... Why are you not saying anything? You’re ignoring such a handsome face, how could you!”
Park Jimin
Unlike Jungkook who does not care about people who perceive him, Jimin takes the extra mile to make sure that everyone see how beautiful he is. His fame within the harem immediately skyrocketed the moment he took up the title as one of the consort. It was to be expected with how frequent he flirted with the maids whenever he pass by them. Of course, he only think that it was fun to tease them as his main goal is still you after all.
Every year, the entire country would celebrate one of its most important holidays— Seollal, where it is one of the only days where festivals are around every direction you look at, and family would reunite with each other to welcome the new year. Within the palace, however, it is celebrated a little different; a full fledge banquet is arranged on the night before the new year and with Jimin leading the performance. With his skillful moves that had took years to master, everyone can agreed that it was a pleasure to look at. What did not please you was how revealing your consort’s attire was. With every move, the fabric was seemingly getting looser that you would have stop the performance already if you were not the of the highest authority in the room. What made it worse was how much eye contact he managed to make with you during his performance, and to say that you were not angry was simply outright lying.
The moment his performance had ended, you decided that Jimin had been working too hard lately and is in desperate need of relaxing. Thinking that he finally push you off the edge, Jimin happily accept your offer and left. What he had not unexpected was you taking him out on a walk when the banquet had ended. You even had the guts to act like nothing had happened hours before this resulting in him yelling at you before grumpily storming back to his courtyard, sulking in his room. Y/N could only laugh seeing his reaction before running towards his room to comfort the boy, deciding that they have teased him enough.
“ Why are you here? No, don’t you dare enter! GET OUT! Hmph, how dare you pretend like nothing happened and teased about it? Didn’t I say that you are not allowed in here? Hmph, fine, come in.”

Random relationship (and just general stuff) headcanons for the ADA squad!!
Atsushi Nakajima 🐯
Soft boi
Smells like strawberries and vanilla
Don't question me on this, he just does
Also probably adores eating strawberries and vanilla, alongside ice cream and anything sweet really, but like, in moderation (it's gotta be a soft food tho)
He also likes fruits and veggies
A healthy boi
His ideal date would be sightseeing, just walking around town with his s/o and admiring the scenery
Would try to be really cheesy and say something like "you're prettier than any location we've been to" but he'd get too embarrassed halfway through so it would just come out as a stammering mess
He's adorable tho, you love him
When sleeping, if you sleep in one bed, he'd legit be like a big cat (no pun intended)
He'd be so warm, and his arms would be wrapped around you in a soft embrace
Prone to having nightmares so please comfort him
Ozamu Dazai 💀
The literal opposite of a soft boi
What I mean by this is that he's a straight up f-boy
Don't @ me, it's official; he's left every woman he's ever been with crying
But don't worry, once he gets attached to you, he'd be all giddy and happy whenever you even exist around him
My dude adores coffee (+ alcohol!)
Doesn't really eat much (please force him to eat more) but he's a sucker for sweets (I feel like he'd be really picky tho, like "no this brand of chocolate is absolute garbage I only eat the finest *insert niche brand literally no one has EVER heard of*"
We love him for it
He'd also really be into salty snacks, anything that has a crunch to it really
Did I mention that he smells like washed out Cologne mixed with his natural scent (+ the most recent way he tried to commit not-living)
His ideal date would be a coffee-date
He knows it's not much but that's where he feels the most relaxed and happy, so he wants you to experience that with him as well
Unlike Atsushi, this boy can FLIRT
Expect a cheesy remark every few seconds
It comes to the point where it's actually kinda annoying
Once you start firing it back at him (it's gotta be something sincere tho) he'd be flustered and kinda flabbergasted
Is also prone to nightmares, but don't expect to see this side of him unless he REALLY really trusts you
Kunikida Doppo 📚
Stoic boi
Idk how to explain this but I feel like the 🗿 emoji really represents him
Also he smells the most normal out of everyone ㅡ literally just some kinda nice perfume and neutral, washed out shampoo (by neutral I mean that you can't really identify what it is, but it's nice)
I feel like he'd be warm
Like not to Atsushi's level, but he'd be a good heat provider if it ever gets windy or rainy
Not to mention how comforting his hugs are, although, extremely awkward (he's so inexperienced with them Lord help him)
Also a sucker for coffee but that's because it's the only thing keeping him sane (and awake, Kunikida go to bed challenge)
He's a really good cook
Like it surprises you how many dishes he actually knows how to make, given how much time his work occupies
He's also more like your dad (or even mom tbh) than your boyfriend, because he's always nagging cuz of some idealistic criteria you failed to meet (ie. "cLeAn YoUr RoOm")
That's why his preference for dates are dates that don't even feel like them
It's literally just everyday activities
Going shopping together? Sure, he's down, gotta get it done anyway and it's nice to have company. You want him to teach you how to make a certain dish? Geez, finally, it's about time you start doing that yourself. You wanna join on a mission? That's a bit too dangerous, but you can meet him afterwards
Like do you get what I'm saying
It's so obvious you two have a thing for each other but he's just so damn dense and yet somehow gets super flustered at the same time
Compliment him on something he's insecure about and he'll be a mess for like 10 whole minutes (by this I mean he genuinely won't be able to utter a word)
Akiko Yosano 🩋
She listens to girl in red
Okay maybe not, but she definitely stans Dreamcatcher
I'll stop you get the point
Her favorite LOONA solo is Heart Attack
(That was the last one I swear)
But fr tho, she looks and acts scary but she's a whole sweetheart
Kind of cold but it's okay you can warm her up (melts if you do that)
Really scared of letting people get too close to her, but if you keep insisting and being nice to her she'll have to accept your love
ALSO fond of coffee (seriously what's with these people) and a mediocre cook (she's trying ok)
Will always be down to try and make something with you, whatever the dish may be
Smells like oranges and roses (not mixed, obvi on different days it's a different vibe)
Also sometimes has a lingering aftertaste of blood due to her job at the ADA and you're kinda just like đŸ˜¶ about it because?? Do you tell her?? Does she know?? What do you do???
Pain.png
Hint: you should definitely tell her tho
SHE FINALLY HAS A CONSISTENT SHOPPING BUDDY
Although she doesn't force you to carry everything around like she forces everyone else to, because you're special ✹
That would also be your assumption on what her favorite date is, but she can actually be pretty romantic!
Don't expect anything grandeur tho, it's just a fancy dinner date at a restaurant
Poor bb has been planning and saving up for this for months now so please appreciate it
She sleeps like a rock
She's just straight, like a soldier
Oh the irony
But I feel like if you were to hug her she'd instantly melt into your embrace
Is ALSO prone to nightmares (seriously what's with these people) but she doesn't wanna bother you with them
Edogawa Ranpo 👓
Praise him
Please
He has a praise kink
So please praise him
He's surprisingly soft
Maybe it's all the sweets he eats, but he's both soft to hug and soft personality wise
Oh yeah did I mention he emits an aura of candy
Like he walks into the room and you don't even have to look to know that it's him, cuz it'll just smell like sweets all of a sudden
Speaking of, he really adores them
To the point where you'll have to force him to eat something healthy from time to time as well, I mean, seriously, that much sugar CANNOT be good for you
If you give him some homemade baked goods (ei. cupcakes, brownies, cake, ect.) listen he will LITERALLY lose it
You're his angel now
No not even that, you're a GODDESS/GOD to him
(Yes he's that dramatic)
He likes taking you to see detective movies with him where he figures out the killer in the first 3 minutes
Also he gets lost so gosh darn easily; never ever let him out of your sight or he'll just be gone forever
Other than that, he lets you organize and plan the dates, cuz he thinks you could do a way better job at being romantic than he ever could
He's really okay with anything you wanna do ㅡ he's just happy to be with you
(Just don't take him to someplace where he can't eat candy)
Force him to eat spicy food and he's breaking up with you nckdndjc
When sleeping together, he's sprawled out across the mattress
In many ways he's just a big teddy bear, you can climb on top of him and sleep there and he'll just be chill with it
These next few ⬇ are only friendship hcs bc a sis doesn't wanna go to jail
Kenji Miyazawa 🐄
Baby boy, baby
Listen I can't explain it but he smells like grass and that fresh air country smell
Like you just know he does
LOVES getting head-pats
Loves giving them too!!
He's so confused when it comes to city stuff, so he'd much rather chill with you somewhere on a grass field
Expect to play a lot of tag and hide n seek with him!! It'll be extra fun if he drags Kyouka and Atsushi with him as well
Sometimes he'll randomly drop a country fact that seems so obscure to you (think; that one time he mentioned they just throw criminals off a cliff) and you'll just stare at him like; 👁 👄 👁
He loves to eat
Literally anything
"I love cows but I love eating them too"
He mentioned before that he shouldn't eat a lot cuz he has no power when full but you can't just??let him starve??
Give him an apple and water and he'll be fine
Introduce him to arcades and he'll get hooked in a matter of seconds
Kyouka Izumi đŸŒș
baby girl, baby
Loves to go sightseeing like Atsushi
Kind of stoic in the beginning but as she slowly warms up to you she'll be smiling all the time
Brings out Demon Snow to protect you if a leaf falls a little too threateningly
Cdndjdj no but fr ㅡ she never really had friends that accepted her and wanted to spend time with her so she really doesn't want anything to happen to you
You have to remind her that she's just a kid; she should be allowed to relax and enjoy the moment for a bit
Smells like flowers and death
The death part of it fades away with time
Spends a lot of time with Atsushi!! Meaning you will spend a lot of time with Atsushi as well
If you don't like him I'm sorry but you two just can't be friends
She has no idea what counts as friend activities and what doesn't so expect her to either: a) not propose anything, or b) propose totally obscure stuff
But if something cute catches her attention she'll make an attempt to guide you to it
Like if she thinks you two should eat ice cream she'll stare at a nearby ice cream shop intensely
Sadly missing Junichiro and Fukuzawa cuz I just don't know enough about them 😔 we sad

THE JAMMIEDODGER VIDEO ABOUT JK ROWLING (as recommended by a very polite anon)
so I go point by point after the cut but in short: they should read more feminist theory, they are lying, they are not as coherent as they think they are but they make some points, notably about the rapid onset gender disphoria that’ll need to check in more depth later on.Most of their sources were unfortunatly either on points I already knew or already agreed with.  Also that woman ( the “cis” one not Jammy), should really stop thinking being born a woman is somehow a privilege.
So the video starts by saying three things I agree with :
1)      Biological sex is definitely real
2)      Women’s right and girls’ right need to be protected
3)      JK Rowling is entitled to like support and write whatever she wants
 So far so good. Except it then goes on to say that TRA agree with that. Now maybe most do but at least some don’t. Don’t lie to me, Jammie Dodger.  
They then go on to misrepresent what our problem with “cis” is. Are they going to spend that entire video about trans people at destination of the non educated on that subject without ONCE defining what a trans person is? They are aren’t they ?
“TRANSPEOPLE AGREE THAT BIOLOGICAL SEX EXISTS!!” 
see earlier but given the number of people who are saying “sex is a social construct” and “sex is a spectrum” and “a neovagina is just like a vagina”, you may at least put a “most” in your statement here. Anyway this is not the problem we have, we wouldn’t even discuss this if it weren’t for the brain dead morons who argue with us about it.
“my biological sex -the one I was assigned at birth- was female” 
is Jammie here telling me he knows biology exists but his sex WAS female ? It still IS female. You’re a female. Moreover you cannot say I know biology exists and I was assigned a sex. The entire “assigned sex” is a refutal of biology by implying doctors choose a sex for you. This is stupid.
Strawman. They are saying radfems have no argument against “gender identity is a real thing”. The lies. Gender identity is not a real thing it’s just gender stereotypes and gender is a tool of oppression for women, it’s sexist garbage. I also notice they don’t define gender identity, this is starting to be a pattern, this video is aimed to normies but the only thing they defined so far is terf.
They did 5 fucking minutes on “transpeople know that biological sex exists” I am already exhausted.
Oh my bad they defined “gender identity” as “the gender you know you are”. THANKS A BUNCH THIS IS SO HELPFUL . Define gender please I beg of you.  
“They know they are a man but their bodies don’t match” 
okay so you agree that man and woman are words that depends on your body right? Since it can “match”, they are not gender then ? Nevermind he then says that man is their gender identity. This is not making sense.
Ooooooh the floating head analogy never heard that one before, this is a stupid one because gendies also argue that their gender is innate (unless Jammie here specifically says he doesn’t think that I’ll act as if he agrees with that statement) so the good question would be if you were born as a floating head and never even had a body would you still be a woman? And my answer here as well as plenty of people I suspect is “men and women don’t make sense if we’re born as floating heads what are you on about?”
“transwomen needs women’s right too” 
I know you think that is self evident but I’ll ask what exactly are the women’s right transwomen need. Abortion? Affordable periods product ? The right to have places free of male? oh wait. They are male so they can never have that can they ?
“so feminism also needs to believe in gender identity”
 because if we don’t our feminism is only for females and we exclude males. Notice how they didn’t continue their logic by saying how THIS feminism excludes transmen and nonbinary? Because it does, but guess who actually need the women’s right of abortion for exemple?
“transmen don’t need women’s rights” 
I FUCKING CANNOT YOU STILL NEED IT WTF ARE YOU ON ABOUT. OK I need them to define women’s right asap
“well JK Rowling said she supports trans rights”
 funny how you can understand how those words are not a proof that she in fact does but you still started your video by “we support women’s rights !!!”
“adding [to Harry Potter] content that was LGBT+ friendly” 
she added things that were gay friendly. I don’t remember her adding trans characters.
“transphobic” = saying men can’t become women. Whoah. The hatred.
“the lack of belief [in gender identity] is what she wants protected”
 yes and ? Atheism, the lack of belief in a god, is protected. Gender identity existence only proof is some people saying it does exists, it is not a scientific reality in any way shape or form.
“His biological sex was previously female” 
BUT WE KNOW WHAT BIOLOGICAL SEX IS WE SWEAR; Damn they spend 7 minutes on “transpeople know biological sex exists” and then keep acting like they fucking don’t.
After that they point blank say that gender identity is more important than sex, having someone who passes as an exemple. What about transpeople who don’t pass? How much you bet this will never be discussed in this video.
Anyway they follow that with that : 
Tumblr media
Which is true but defining what a woman is does affect women actually (I know weird right)  so it’s completely irrelevant to the discussion here.
“When a large group of transpeople are telling you something is wrong please listen to them”
 please afford women the same courtesy. We are a large group of women saying males are not the fucking authority on what womanhood is but we are told to shut up. Listen.
“we cannot take the behavior of the minority [online abuse] and group it onto the majority” 
I agree with that statement but the majority still didn’t condemn the abuse. Honestly the people in this video did -just before saying HOWEVER but hey – but it is pretty rare to see TRA actually confronting the people who abused JK Rowling online, they cheered them on more than anything.
It is very telling how they spend more time in this video saying people collecting screenshots of the abuse JK Rowling suffered were “not cool” than the TRA giving them a bad name by actually abusing JK Rowling. They even say Jammy was also insulted online so TERF and TRA are as bad as each other right ?? Being called delusional or idiot is not the same as death threats sorry Jammy. (I doubt the “freak” one was from a terf tbh but even then, this is not even comparable) I mean didn’t you get at least one person saying they were going to kill you ? Because I did, and I have ,like, 200 followers. I find very weird that the woman here said “I received sexual assaults threats and this is as a cis woman!” as if women weren’t the primary target of sexual assaults threats. Yeah it’s the misogyny. What’s new.  You really should stop thinking you are somehow priviledged even when you are being sexually threatened ffs. What gender ideology does to a mf.
 “neither of these sides are innocent” 
oh come on, you cannot possibly means that the men who gave you sexual threats were terfs, this is ridiculous, you are just trying to excuse and diminish what people did to JK as per fucking usual.
 “persistent low level harassment” 
it hasn’t stayed low level tho. Stop trying to say you and JK are receiving the same abuse it’s embarrassing.
JK Rowling’s essay having real life effects on policies for exemple has an element of thruth ,even tho we disagree on wether or not this can be a good thing but your are deluding yourself if you think people assaulting transpeople are the sort of people whose views are in any way influenced by feminists. This is laughable. Also please stop with the guilt tripping, we are not responsible of the mental health of transpeople, we are not their therapists, sorry.
I love how they implied that the guy who forced GNC kids to behave as their assigned gender would somehow give a letter of thanks to a feminist. This is implying “terfs” want the same things as this maniac which is just a straight up lie, terfs absolutely adore GNC people and are mostly GNC themselves.
“What rights of women are actually being eroded by the inclusion of transwomen ?” I am glad you asked !! Well apart from the freedom of speech since “terfs” are losing their jobs and being deplatformed because of this, we have the inherent dangers of replacing sex by gender in what the law protects : https://www.aclu.org/blog/speakeasy/firing-mom-because-shes-breastfeeding-sex-discrimination this is a link to a story about a woman who was said being fired for breastfeeding was not sex discrimination because men can lactate. Do you see the problem ? Moreover there is quotas for women in politics etc
.Women fought for their quotas and now males can have them, who do you think an employer would prefer someone who probably will be pregnant at one point or someone who never will ? and let’s not forget the right for women to have women only places :Women in prison are raped by the trans identified males in it .
“I cannot think of a single right that is removed from me”
 good for you maybe you should have actually researched radfems talking point before doing this video ? Your ignorance is not a good argument.  
“transwomen can use the women changing room because they are women” 
you keep saying that but apart from “they feel like women” you didn’t explain how they are women. This is the basis of this entire video and you never explained.  Also allowing any person who say they are women into the women’s changing room does not only allow transwomen does it ? It also allows lying freaks.
“You can protect cis women’s rights and transrights simulteanously” HOWWWWWWWWWWW, please tell me how to keep female only spaces (women’s right) while saying TWAW (transrights apparently according to them).
“transwomen can be the victims and cis women can do the voyeurism” 
true but did you forget we actually live in the real world and in that one males are much more likely to be sexually harassing people than women ? It is a brazen form of lying to tell women that since theoretically other women can also be creeps they don’t have to worry about males. Get a grip. Live in the real world for a change.
“It doesn’t reference transwomen but men pretending to be women” 
apart from “they feel it” you still haven’t told us what the difference is. You are aware nothing from an outside perspective distinguishes the two right ??
“there is no evidence of men pretending to be trans to enter female only spaces” and how would you know they are pretending ? This is the same problem again and again, if you define transwomen as men who feel like women then there is absolutely no way of verifying someone really is trans. And that’s a lie anyway since we do actually have proof of that happening?? There was that video making the room on radblr a while ago of a clear male pissing in the women’s bathroom saying (lying) that he was trans.
Yeah actually radical feminists would accept transmen in their bathrooms, but it’s not an easy question with an easy answer to know how to check they really are transmen. Although notice how they are again only talking about transpeople that passes ? I would feel safer with Jammy in my toilets than Hannah Mouncey for exemple :
Tumblr media
  That is so obvioulsy a man in a dress.
“ If a transman with a beard and penis and balls can go into a women’s toilet and that is deemed okay because of his biological sex what is to stop a cis man from doing the same”
 I am sorry but are you saying a transwoman cannot have a beard and penis and balls ?????????? This is incredibly transphobic of you, you said that gender identity Is just feeling like a gender, how exactly does that mean transwomen cannot have beard ? If you want to know, radfem are arguing for a third toilet for transpeople, that’s our solution. What is yours ?
 Ok the next part is racist I’ll skip that thanks
On accusation of TERFery intimidating people and organizations “we haven’t seen these” again, your ignorance is not an argument, I am posting these on Tumblr where cryptoterfs arer numerous. Why do you think that is ?
Are they seriously saying Nike and addidas “accepted” transpeople because they “realized it was the right thing to do” ?????? Those companies employs slaves IN WHAT WORLD DO YOU LIVE IN??
“trying to make transpeople look crazy” 
the clownfish things were said online by real transpeople. We don’t need to invent thing to make transpeople look crazy, if there is  large enough group some people belonging in that group will say stupid shit .
“We support these rights”
 when speaking about women victims of abuse. This is a lie, the Vancouver rape shelter relief is often targeted by transactivists, recently a gofundme for it was cancelled because of transactivists, they are quite litteraly stealing money from raped women. This is not a small, inconsequential part of transactivism. 
“The trans-inclusionist views expand the meaning of women to include transwomen”
 It doesn’t expend shit actually since it excludes transmen and non-binary. If anything it reduces it.
They go on to say that transwomen deserves protection as women because of their murder rate. It doesn’t explain how being seen as women will help them here and anyway it’s a bold lie considering their murder rate is actually quite low. They also fail to consider how depriving transmen and nonbinaries of those same women’s right might be a problem.
Again they make the distinction between transwomen and men pretending to be transwomen without a way to identify which is which. This is starting to get repetitive and tedious. The problem is not that all transwomen are predators is that there is no way to see a difference until the predators acts, until a woman gets hurt, so accepting transwomen is accepting predators and saying transwomen feelings are more important that the women being hurt because of this. I disagree. The tiny tiny percentage of transpeople doing bad things is actually the same percentage as men doing bad things. If your argument could be used to say women only spaces shouldn’t exist at all because not all men are dangerous maybe you should reconsider your argument because I will not reconsider women’s right to have female only spaces.
“If you push transwomen out of female only spaces you push transmen in”
 Yes. I don’t even see where the problem is here.  Now why don’t we analyse the fact that if you push transwomen into female only spaces you push transmen out of them ? I don’t think transmen belongs in men’s prisons, do you ?
“Transpeople don’t dispute biology and don’t impact how female only diseases are treated” 
eat shit. They do impact this, every woman trying to say “female biology” get shit thrown at her faster than you can blink, stop lying to me Jammy. Do you think I would get called a bleeder, a fetus carrier, a motherfucking birthing body if transactivism wasn’t trying to erase sex ? Don’t you think the sentence “men can have periods” is not eroding biology ? Fuck off
Back to JK, Jammy is saying her disabling comment on her blog was not conductive to a conversation, I have to salute the straight face he says it with because do you really think a nice educated conversation would have taken place on JK Rowling’s essay ? They flooded her children’s book tag with porn for fuck sake.
“Thre is no explosion in young women who wishes to transition” sources ? Because it does seem to be true :https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jsm.12817
“the detransitionners rate is actually really low” hard to know but most people who transitioned did it not so long ago since transgender is a recent trend, we will have to wait and see to have a more robust number. But maybe they are right on that one, this is not going to be the one argument that changes my views unfortunately. 
“Does that mean we should stop people from getting plastic surgery then ?” 
lol you don’t know the radfem stance on plastic surgery do you ?
“There is more significant transphobia than homophobia” 
sources ? Because transition is used as converstion therapy in Iran so it is at least untrue in one country. 
“If transmen transition to escape womanhood why is there transwomen ?” 
You really didn’t research this did you ? the radfem answer is that transwomen are either gay men who have gender disphoria OR AGP (autogynephiles) read this if you want to learn more about it: https://grahamlinehan.substack.com/p/the-elephant-in-the-room
“why would people who have male privileges choose to give that up” 
you are assuming they lose their male privileges but I will need sources on that because most transwomen do not pass and are treated more as special men than as women.
“We have already shown you that transphobia is far more rife and damaging than homophobia” 
did I miss that part ? When ? You just said that ? Without backing it up ?
“anti trans narratives constantly contradict itself” 
No we do not, we are feminist so we OF COURSE we analyse men and women differently, this is an issue of gender which radical feminism posit as an hierarchy, trying to explain transwomen and transmen with the same arguments is doomed to fail because they were not equal in their relation to gender to begin with. Do you think black people trying to pass as white do it for the same reasons white people try to have more black features ? Of course not.
“What am I a lesbian or a homophobe ?”
 You are both, you are a lesbian in denial with a deep case of internalized misogyny and homophobia. You know yo can be both sexist and a woman right ? Well it’s the same here.
I heard “Simone de Beauvoir” and I knew they were going to be really fucking stupid with that “One is not born a woman but rather becomes a woman” quote and THERE IT IS! Please read the book. She is not saying male can become women if they try hard enough, she is saying basically the same thing JK Rowling’s quote said which is that “womanhood” as it is forced on women is alien and not natural and the point is that we should not accept it, it’s a feminist quote on femininity and I am so sick of men using it to say that they are women.
Transactivists acting as if sex recognition patterns don’t exists is exhausting so I won’t comment on “nobody checks if you have XX chromosomes before passing you over for a promotion” other than to say : passing over for promotions happens a lot when women are pregnant and after giving birth stop acting as if misogyny is unrelated to our reproduction capacities it is fucking insulting.
“transwomen will support [fights against tampon tax and FGM] too” 
FGM was a bad choice here considering transactivists tried to stop a bill against FGM .  I will need sources here actually since I never seen a transwoman fighting for women’s right in my life.
Ok I let a lot passes here because I’m tired but we are 48:40 in the video and fuck you “intersectional feminism” is not about males. It was for black women. It is not reductionist to say women are people with a vagina, this is just a definition, and one that applies to 50% of the population at that, there is litteraly no definition of woman that includes more people than that.
Imagine thinking “women are people with vagina” is reductionist but not calling women “vulva owners”. Please , I am begging for coherence.
“transwomen who experience greater abuse than cisgender women will ever experience” . 
This is revolting. I don’t have any other words. I am glad this is the end of the video because I would have stopped immediately if this was at the start. What abuse transwomen can experience than ciswomen cannot ? Because I would have thought forced pregnancy was horrific but maybe this doesn’t compare to being misgendered?
“most people are comfortable with transwomen going into women’s bathrooms” https://www.bsa.natcen.ac.uk/media/39147/bsa34_moral_issues_final.pdf
It says 13% of women are at least uncomfortable with sharing bathroom with transwomen, why are we ignoring their wishes? Because 0.1% of the population wants to ?  Whatever, the really interesting thing in this study is that for this question they defined “transwomen” as someone who has gone through all the steps to become a woman aka someone with surgery. I find extremely misleading that this is used for bathroom bills which defines transwomen as male identifying as women. Do you think the numbers would be the same if they specified the transwoman in question still has a penis ? Which is the case for most transwomen btw?

I need to scream about RE ID bc like. Did I enjoy it? Yeah, I did. Was it. Just wrapped up way too nicely and quickly? Also yeah. I was a little disappointed by it tho, like the length, and the flashback scenes weren't as clear as I think they should have been? Like I understood what was happening, but it took me a little too much brain power to like keep up with what was and wasn't a flashback lmao
Also I wanna say, I get wanting to keep Jun See alive but god, that did not look fun. Just let him die, dude, no one wants to live like that, smh.
Thank god they kept Leon's one liners tho, like thank you for that at least lol also Claire, my GIRL, I love her holy shit. Honestly she was amazing, like, just perfect. Not sure why she has a gun in the promotional poster, bc she just. Never has a gun throughout the entire show, I don't think? Also can we talk about how she took that guy down with that lamp, and then hopped on top of him just fucking ready to continue to beat the shit out of him? Chris would be so proud đŸ„Č
Okay also, I saw what you said with that flirting scene, and I agree that it seemed like Leon was trying to lighten the mood, but it so didn't need to be put in there at all @ the writers. Like this show could have gotten away with no romance, or just that one moment near the end with Claire and Leon (which, I don't ship them much, and that moment at the v end where she was like "are you ever gonna stop treating me like a kid?" And he responded with "probably not" or whatever kind of ruined whatever was shown earlier? Like it feels like she's had that convo with Chris before too, so I'm like hm no don't imply romance and then imply that he treats her like a little kid every time they run into each other, now it's weird lol) and been fine. None of the story was contingent on any kind of romance between anyone.
Now with that said, can I just say Patrick absolutely wanted to suck Leon's dick? Like he was smitten, and I bet you they at least fuck after all this is said and done, if not date for a short period of time. I thought they were gonna kill Patrick off, I'm glad they didn't tho, he was v wholesome lol.
Also I wanna mention that every serious moment (save a small handful) I just. I couldn't take it seriously, it was too over the top. Acid? Really? That's the self destruct measure? Slowly rising acid? I dunno, that doesn't seem quite right to me, I don't think that's how it works lol
Honestly they should have just made this into a new movie, bc making it a series implies more to follow and in general a longer narrative, but these eps were barely 20 minutes each, so there's almost no point splitting it like that. Did I enjoy myself? Yeah, I always do when Leon is involved, but it could have been so much better.
Also the silly little shipper in me is kind of desperate for more interaction between Chris and Leon, bc as far as I'm aware it's just RE6, RE vendetta, and RE ID (and I think the person who told Chris to save Claire in either code x or Veronica was Leon? Not 100% about that tho lol) where they actually interact with each other, and considering that they're the two main characters of the franchise, they should probably meet up more? Idk, that's just my gay ass hoping for more Chreon content lmao but still.
ANYWAYS yeah, I would rate the show like a 7.5/10? It wasn't amazing but it wasn't garbage, either. Probably my least favorite of the four animated movies tbh, but I will take the Leon content, thank you Capcom. Also it was interesting to see Leon around the time following/around RE4 and RE degeneration, I thought, I dunno.
oh boy I agree 100% it was wrapped up way too quickly in the end. like killing Jason? by just dropping him in the acid? it was way too simple and easy if you ask me. and like, why didn't he yeet Leon into the acid when he had him by the throat? him not killing Leon makes zero sense to me??
asdfg yeah I get they weren't ready to let Jun See go, but I bet Jun See really would've preferred to go...
I am so happy that they kept the one liners!! Leon felt very, very in character which I loved so much. I was afraid they'd tone it down or make him super serious or so, and it was such a relief they didn't. he was so eager to help and so goddamn kind to everyone I don't know if my heart can even handle it ;;;;;
also Claire!! so badass!! I loved the part where she attacked the guy with the lamp (yes Chris would be super proud haha) and THE HEADBUTT seriously, one of the top highlights of the entire series :'D
(but honestly this is gonna get long i'mma gonna hit that read more here)
and the flirting scene, I do think they could've left it out entirely and it felt a little strong-armed in. but I'm trying to look at the silver lining? Leon was super goddamn adorable in it, like, so cute it hurts :'D and Shen May didn't seem bothered really, it was more this joking thing between them. so while yes, it was unnecessary, i'm focusing on the joking feel of it and choosing to interpret it as such :'D
also, can I just say, the "romantic moment" with Claire and Leon near the end didn't feel very romantic to me? I know it's a romcom cliché (or at least a fanfic cliché lmao) how they ended up in a pile after the rescue but ...it didn't scream romance to me? although I do kind of like the pairing! (not a top fave but a cute one)
and yes, the whole "when are you gonna stop treating me like a kid?" "probably never" felt SO much like a sibling moment!! such big brother energy from Leon, and I don't know, that made me super duper happy?? I want them to be friends. I neeeed them to be friends gdi. which is why I am unhappy with how mad Claire seemed to be at Leon in the end and how they left it off like they did. I am hoping that it sets things up for a second season? and they for whatever reason need them on kind of the opposing sides at first? because otherwise it makes no sense to me for her to be that disappointed in him. in Degeneration they already establish they work in different ways towards the same goal, and for that to do a 180 now feels... like a disservice to the characters? idk?
lmaooooo but yes Patrick 100% wanted to suck Leon's dick he didn't even try to be subtle about it :'D idk I would've wanted Patrick to have more depth and screentime too, i so wish they would've made it a longer series and given the characters more development. because I liked pretty much all of the new characters they introduced! but it feels none of them reached their actual potential!
then again that is kind of the whole deal with resident evil in general, they set up awesome characters and end up wasting them half of the time :'D guess i shouldn't be surprised.
THE SLOWLY RISING ACID PISSED ME OFF lmaooo c'mon!! it doesn't seem like a good self destruct measure. especially since ...you'd need different acid to dissolve organic matter and to dissolve inorganic matter if we're being nitpicky. and how would it be plausible for them to store enough of it safely to even do this?? they should've just detonated the whole place and blown it to smithereens or something, the acid was. stupid.
i agree, it feels like a movie. but I think @tirsynni is probably right when saying that it was sort of a test run to see if they should make more? which I am so hoping for. because even with the complaints I have of this, I DID enjoy it, a lot!! and I do want more! and maybe this time we get Claire and Leon actually working together for more than fifteen seconds! :'D
also I definitely would not say no to more Chris and Leon interactions. (yes it was Leon who told Chris to save Claire :) at least that) it... in general makes no sense to me how capcom seems to think friendships work? like how Sherry is all "Leon and Claire are my best friends" and then they imply they haven't met in years? if not more? idek it's. weird. it's like their characters go into storage containers in between their missions to be stored away so they can't even accidentally have personal lives or friendships or anything. weird.
(what I said about having amazing characters and ending up wasting their potential? yeah)
for me, personally, it's... well, my score for the show would depend on whether I just focus on the characterizations and what I liked, or if I try to actually take the plot and all into account too :'D but I did like this more than Degeneration! already the fact that Leon has actual facial expressions is enough to put it way above that one. (and for the record, I don't hate Degeneration either, I do like it, but... Leon is such a cardboard cutout with zero personality in it, it's super frustrating)
idk I think I need to still process this a bit to see how I will like it in the end :'D there are things i'm super hyped about in it, and things i'm disappointed in, let's see how they'll weigh in the overall experience eventually.

I’ve already talked about how Anneliese did not agree to be switched and almost died bc of it, but today I want to talk about the Popstar of it all and why I don’t get manipulative vibes from Tori but do from Amelia lol, bc after all those situations are far more similar than any Pauper comparisons that can be drawn
so like, Tori was a huge Keira fan, obviously. and bc Keira was already in Meribella, Tori invited her to the castle. she invited her. Keira could have said no! but Keira decides to go, and that makes sense bc she’d already expressed an admiration and longing to be like a princess, there is literally a whole song about it (and obvs, Tori doing the reverse). and then when they actually meet, they actually talk about their lives and stuff, and their switch basically happens on accident at first bc they were just switching hair and dresses for fun and then realized wait a minute... we look alike. and then Duchess Amelia comes in to drag “Tori” back to the party, and basically it rolls from there and they go thru the rest of the party like that. the kicker for me is that when Tori wants to keep the switch up, Keira objects and points out that she has stuff to do. and Tori acknowledges this and says but if we do it this way it will still work. and then they both agree to it, and then they have a whole song talking about different responsibilities and then they both go off to live each other’s lives. I think it’s very well done, all considered.
but for Amelia... like... the way she even got Barbie to Floravia feels so weird and skeevy! bc like, she went thru her school, she arranged this whole bogus trip, and like... for what? for what, really? she couldn’t have just reached out to Barbie directly? Barbie had no opportunity to really say no to this situation. I mean I guess she could, but if you “win” a lottery picking for a super cool special study abroad trip to another country, who’s gonna turn that down? and then when Barbie’s actually there, Amelia’s just like oh poor me I can’t do anything I want (but I don’t even know what I want) and basically pressures Barbie into switching bc she is unhappy. Barbie also has some unclear ambitions in the movie for like... Fame or whatever, but she wasn’t going to do a damn thing about it bc she is spineless. and the kicker for THEM is that Amelia literally just bails and Barbie has like, no idea what to expect of her day bc Amelia just texted her a list of stuff and was like “lol good luck” before she, let me say again, just BAILED. and I’ve already talked about how stupid it is that we don’t even know what Amelia was DOING all that time, but really... it’s SO stupid.
and UNLIKE Tori, Amelia wasn’t established as like... someone who shirks her duties or doesn’t take things seriously. like, just the opposite in fact. so for her to BAIL on her KINGDOM on like, the EVE OF HER CORONATION is just like... WHAT? What am I SUPPOSED to think about her? It’s not like she was set up as like super tightly wound and we see her having fun for once--bc we don’t really see her at ALL! so Amelia just comes off as like... manipulative and flighty and she just wants to not really do anything, and then to top off this whole mess the movie doesn’t even end with her walking away from her throne that she CLEARLY DOES NOT WANT OR CARE FOR, even tho Johan was literally RIGHT there to take over both countries.
ppl give Tori a lot of crap (rightly) for her frankly mean pranks, but she grows up a hell of a lot during her movie! it ends with her realizing that her kingdom was in dire straits and she had no clue about it, but resolving to actually do something about it. and not just right then, she is planning for the FUTURE. and she’s not even queen yet! her dad’s very much alive and seems to be in good health, so it’s not like she has to step up right then and there. no, she CHOOSES to bc it is the RIGHT thing to do, and she has a moral compass!
what does Amelia do? what does she learn? how does she grow? how does she prove that she’s going to be a good leader? a better leader than Johan? like, okay so we don’t know that Johan would be a good leader, but at least he gives a fuck! at least he CARES! what does Amelia care about? NOTHING! nothing in the real world, all of her problems are fake stupid social media problems that mean NOTHING in the grand scheme of things. not to mention the fact that she’s about to become queen of not just her OWN country that she (presumably) knows the laws and customs and traditions of--BUT A WHOLE OTHER GODDAMN COUNTRY! this never even factors in. not even at the end during the literal coronation does she mention Johanistan. that’s disgusting it’s truly disgusting
and yes, the problems with BPA are writing problems with the whole narrative being basically garbage from the ground up, but I mean, it’s not as if Amelia was given a strong introduction and we could say this is where the writing fell apart. no, this was her intro, this was her movie, and it was a complete travesty. she’s manipulative and cares about nothing but herself and her own image, apparently, and I hate that. I really do.

Hello, my name is korny and some of you know me as a former beta, then sweet elite’s former clothing artist, that also (singlehandedly) drew the animated mini-game with momo and the little coffee and coin icons. I never had a proper introduction which is why probably most of you see me for the first time now.
I didn’t plan on publicly making a statement, but it has been brought to my attention that the se management said rude and nasty things that – most importantly – are just plain bullshit and I cannot let this be said without a proper response.
 If you click this link you will find a google doc with various screenshots, showing what exactly has been going on that made me (& cecile) finally leave the team. I made the doc and the screens a few days prior to leaving (April 2019) and already shared it with all the betas and some staff back then, but also some people on tumblr who have come into my dms asking me to clarify what happened. I feel the right time has come to share this link with the public, although it might be a little confusing to understand for some.
 Now, what bothers me the most about serenas ugly behaviour from the past few days is the topic of “’lazy’ cecile”. I’d like to clarify that this entire post is MY opinion, and was written because *I* am angry about this, I was not forced to write this whatsoever by Cecile or anyone else. I’ve kept my mouth shut so far bc I could not be bothered, but this is where I draw the line.
“Lazy Cecile” has been something even BEFORE my beta days (which started in January 2018). Serena used (and still does, as you can see in her latest posts) to call Cecile “lazy” a lot jokingly, but saying it that often didn’t make it funny anymore, and it certainly isn’t a nice thing to say to a good friend. She continued to say it even after Cecile approached her not to.
To add, Cecile is - if not THE - most hardworking person that ever participated in the production of the game. While juggling a full-time job, she also drew AND redrew ALL the sprites, for a short time also drew ALL the illustrations WITH customization (2 genders x 3 three different hairstyles), AND new backgrounds because An already left the team. And that’s just the art she did! She also took part in writing large chunks in almost every chapter, even writing an entire big ass chapter 7 ON HER OWN, which she now has posted on her blog @retconomics (which Serena in response tried to make us afraid by telling us how merciful she is by not suing us for copyright. Your case wouldn’t be that strong honey LMAO not without a contract anyway 😉 ). ALL WHILE WORKING A FULL DAY JOB AND GETTING A DOG, WHICH ALSO REQUIRES A LOT OF ATTENTION. Meanwhile, it took Serena several months to almost a YEAR now, guessing from the release date, to write chapter 6 and it wasn’t a rare case for her to magically loose the file or it getting corrupted. So please tell me how the fuck cecile is lazy? In any fucking way?
Her time schedule was very demanding, so of course we had to cheat a little bit, which brings me to my next point: professionalism. Serena claims that Cecile was very unprofessional, “cutting corners” and her art “unpolished” and “not up to par”. In her example of ‘proper’ professionalism, serena used this image:
Tumblr media
Illustrating how the new artist does things better and more polished.
This is where I call huge, MAJOR bullshit.
I have worked on the sprites with cecile. Due to the tight deadline Serena has given us, Cecile would give me the rough sprites and I would finish them & look for any spots that were smudges/did not have clear edges or full transparency. Wanna know how these files looked like?
Tumblr media
Hm! Absolutely no fucking different! The expressions were all on one layer, unlike in the example above, but as Serena said: she didn’t say anything against that. That was because Serena wanted to pump content out, which, fair enough, and she needed everyone in the team to “set priorities”, as she said. And adding so much customization was NOT a priority at that time and she knows it.
However, if it DID bug her that much, it’s her own fault if she won’t say “hey Cecile, could you put all the brows on one single layer, all the mouths etc”. And if her excuse is that Cecile lacked the time, I could’ve done it just as easily, as I worked on the sprites anyway and did not have the huge workload cecile had at that time. If the manager is unhappy with their product, they should say something, otherwise nothing will happen. So, if Serena was unhappy with the ‘lack’ of expressions (lets be real tho, 5 expressions isn’t lacking at all)? Her fault.
“Not to mention, all of the sprites will be polished and the artstyle will finally be consistent throughout the entire game (something that our old artist really struggled with at times). Also, both Alita and Ariel are awesome at what they do, take growth and sustainability seriously, and constantly look for ways to improve and build onto the world of Sweet Elite.” Taken from here (x).
Ah, yes. You want consistency and yet hired two artists with two very different styles, and even *advertised* it as something good. Also, if somebody improves art wise, they rarely stay the same way. Art is FLUID. Art CHANGES, especially while improving. And if ceciles art was so unprofessional looking and unpolished for you serena, why didn’t you just tell her to stop drawing? Why not “get rid of the garbage” sooner? Would have saved both you and cecile the clownery that has happened and is going on right now.
Tumblr media
(taken from here)
Also calling Cecile a weakness while she literally held the weight of the entire game on her shoulders while having to provide so much art and writing while you failed to write even one chapter during all that? You’re pettier than you care to admit.
I literally could go on and on about this, but this is already 1k words, so im gonna wrap this up. But I am so mad about this “boo hoo there is a narrative spun against me â˜č” “I was creatively constricted by my cowriters” (also bullshit lmao, but another topic). You’re just a big liar and an awful person overall, and don’t get me started on your boyfriend.
While you’re getting “rid of the garbage”, please also remove MY minigame which I was forced to make while I was collecting money for my dog, and pay me 100€. You can have the clothes as I actually *agreed* on doing that for no money. 25€ for all the coffee and coin icons would be appropriate as well.
Now, as a former fan thats been on this journey since 2015, I am very dissapointed in how this game is developing. You’re taking this game into a direction you promised not to - not diverse, full of clichĂ©s, mainstream. As a fan, this broke my heart. A lot.
I hope you learn that your actions have consequences and that I will NOT be quiet if you decide to spit some lies again.
