#you don’t have to make me vacuum them 🙄

[always-a-slut-4-ghouls]

My cat one hour after his lunch, yelling at me: mother I am hungry I am starving how dare you let your child go hungry 😾 I am but a poor victorian street urchin and you have left me out to die

Honestly don’t even care if you like Marius or David tbh, like that genuinely isn’t even my beef with some of their fans. My problem is that some of them have this weird…I wanna say superiority complex for liking them almost? “I like Marius because I know the difference between fiction and reality” like be so serious for a moment 🙄

I don’t know how many times this discourse has happened on this site by now but fiction doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It isn’t born from nothing and when it is released to an audience, especially if it gets very popular, it can influence the artistic or cultural landscape and those that consume it. No, liking someone like Marius doesn’t make you a pedo, just like playing video games hasn’t made me a mass shooter, but “fiction doesn’t affect reality” is such a disingenuous take at this point I’m surprised we’re still seeing it.

Never mind the fact that Anne Rice, in reality, supported children having sexual relationships with adults so again that point is kinda moot but whatever. Again, like what you like but be less smug about it maybe?

Um so even the word Sochi gives me an instant panic attack. I’m on the record as having difficulty watching the programs, knowing how hard that time was for these previous bbys who I just wanna protect from all evil. But I also recognise that without Sochi trauma we would not have had the GLORY that was Prince, Latch, SFTD and MR, aka the greatest sporting come back in the history of sport. Would Pyeongchang even have happened without the cluster leading up to Sochi? If it had all ended well there, they would either have retired for good OR continued on to the next Olympics and also won. Great, but also, same same. Without Sochi there wouldn’t have been the disillusionment, the time away, then realising they missed it and each other, working out how to do things differently, the rise of PC into the vacuum left by TS - and the subsequent (hilarious) narrative that TS couldn’t possibly beat them, that theory blown away by their total command of the ice rink when they returned, their complete BDE despite everything being against them. That majestic arc, the thing that sent me tumbling down into this rabbit hole, begins at Sochi. So - if you don’t want to lean in too heavily to Sochi to protect people (TS, me?!), or you don’t think it warrants the time, then that’s ok. But if you are looking for the grit in the oyster, the second Act plot twist that has people stamping their feet in a standing ovation by the end of the third Act, then THAT is Sochi.

Oh hell no the damn Sochi clusterfuck is getting the attention it deserves. I’m going to remain as objective as I can but the fact is the form was in the board for those Olympics:

-Systematic Russian doping

-The OBVIOUS fix in the ladies event

-any other events with fishy results

I don’t trust the US and Russia with anything and 70 years of history on all matters of geo politics leaves little to the imagination.. yes.. as inconsequential as an ice dance event seems.. the Olympics have always been and always will be a political tool- I don’t see that changing.

Of course TS, the humble darlings that they are maintain they were beaten fairly by DW.. I personally don’t agree with it- they are light years behind the artists that TS are- (DW are like a child’s pain by numbers kit, TS are TESSA AND SCOTT). I can’t speak on skating skills but they have never done it for me (I find them so monotonous) and despite what TS feel about esp The Seasons I adore both programs- they didn’t need some war horsey gimmick- they just DANCED.

Anyway. Yes I am covering Sochi in depth. I don’t feel like it’s ever been covered properly- only skimmed over and TS probed for comment about corruption but really I truly believed they never considered it/let it affect them/maintained they weren’t the best on those days 🙄🙄🙄. Therefore they can’t be the ones to recognise the very likely hood something fishy was up.

Sorry gonna rant for a sec: it’s not even THAT DW beat them.. it’s the way the scoring played out.. THAT MANY POINTS BEHIND?? A full 2 POINTS in each segment.. BULLSHIT, so I do find it totally plausible that DW may have eeked out a win without ‘tampering’ (I honestly don’t know how but since they had done it in the past) but not by that much with TS skating as well as they did. It was the exact same thing that happened with the ladies but in reverse: Make up a ‘deduction’ (in the body of the program) for TS, then overblow DW later in the event, where as in the ladies- underscore/conservatively score Yuna- then later on knowing how much they had to give for her to be able to catch up in the FP, WAY overblow Sotnikova. TS skated near flawlessly in the FD- with exquisite musicality, pure emotion and the deepest edges you’ve ever seen outside of a CD, give them a world record.. WOOPS, give DW a WR by more than two points. Completely ignore a dogs breakfast quality combo from Sotnikova, again overblow the score, then give half of Yuna’s elements lvl 3s. The most upsetting thing is both TS and Yuna knew.. you could see it. Maybe not exactly, but they knew. That’s the saddest thing that on some level you knew they weren’t playing the same game..

Then there’s the whole thing with Marina which unfortunately the majority of content on that is the stupid damn reality show which I give almost no credit to because the editing is worse than the cats movie.. completely unreliable and character damaging to esp Scott. (Theres a couple of voice clips from them tho that give some pretty raw insight that I’m gonna use)

On the positive side- as you said. Would the comeback had been as great and emotional as it was without how Sochi ended up? It’s the same way I think about her injuries and how that nearly destroyed them. How many other people (in this case teams) could come back from those things?? Really?? (I’m thinking sui/han as the only others). As I said in yesterdays (other) long rambling emotional vomit post, the freaking work they did that made them capable of coming back from these let downs. That is the damn redemption arc. And sorry coz I so rarely let out my petty bitch side.. take PC as a comparison.. maintaining they ‘lost’ in PYC simply because of a costume malfunction (which hunny.. make sure your damn costume does up.. that is no one’s fault but your’s) and without that they would’ve won and deserved to win and Beijing was the gold they rightly deserved and should’ve had 4 years earlier…. Them sitting there in the PYC green room begging for TS to mess up and swearing when they didn’t.. ughhh..you could not have a more stark contrast- TS didn’t feel they deserved gold in Sochi and instead framed it as they won the silver and they are so proud because it represents all they overcame to stand on any step of that podium, and then in pyc they could look down at the second place step knowing this time they were better than that and they deserved to be standing on top of the world.

So yeh don’t you worry.. I’ll remain civil and objective to the facts- I won’t be shitting on other teams like I (rarely/occasionally do here) but it’s a thorn in my side too.

This chapter will be the beginning of our hero’s’ redemption arc.

(Hope I haven’t given too much away)

Also.. the VM/DW retirement that was the main thing that gave PC the rise they had… “VACUUM” is the exact word I’ve used..

Ok sorry I might have liked/unliked this several times b/c my big head thumb doesn’t have enough motor control to tap and hold ONCE to copy quotes 😩

There’s a BOP under the cut if u are brave enough to listen

How do you say it? How can you put your suspicions into words without making them true?

Go on anon tbh

On your sole day off, you sleep all of two hours and drag yourself off the couch. It isn't even noon as you tidy the house, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dishes, toilet, floor to ceiling spotless.

This is the shit she has to do at work tho 😩

You love him!

Lol … DIY Manchurian Candidate techniques… on yourself

You do your best to look human.

Me practicing the same

A gentle tapping comes at the door. You don't answer, the water stirring around you as you pull the stopper and stand. As you reach for the towel, his voice comes through the door, "babe."

Pfffffttt disgraceful. Amateur technique 🙄

This is how u get them to open the door.

U: HOLY SHIT, this is sooooo bad….it’s an emergency ok??? Did u hear about Maya Hee?

Them: Maya who??

U: Maya ha… Maya HAha

Promise, Lloyd will pop up again soon.

Wouldn’t mind some feedback! Lloyd was driving me nuts so I had to do it. Thank you in advance 💜

You don't say anything. Instead, you let it eat away at you. Your days end in tears, your few hours to yourself spent sleeping until your next shift. Hours worked for what? The watch is gone and Colin's lost in his new job. With his ex.

How do you say it? How can you put your suspicions into words without making them true? If you accuse him and he hasn't done anything, he'll only be angrier.

On your sole day off, you sleep all of two hours and drag yourself off the couch. It isn't even noon as you tidy the house, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, dishes, toilet, floor to ceiling spotless.

The last hours of the afternoon are spent cooking in anticipation of Colin's return. To make up for the night more than a week ago that it all went rotten. An apology. An act to show him you're worth something. You can take care of him. You love him!

You change into clean clothes and check yourself in the mirror. You do your best to look human. You put on the necklace he gave you all those years ago.

You keep the chicken warm in the oven and set lids over the broccoli and creamy fettuccine on the burners. You pace the kitchen tiles and wait.

And wait.

And wait.

6:30.

6:58.

7:14.

The chicken is dry, the noodles bland and limp, the beans overcooked.

8:06.

You scrape it all into the bin and turn off the lights. You run a bath and cry as the tub fills and you strip away your clothes. You check your phone as you sink into the hot water. Nothing.

You put the phone on the flat edge of the tub and lay back, closing your eyes as you try to enjoy the soothing heat. You can't free yourself from the tension knotted in your overworked muscles. Another heave rises just as soon as the last subsides. You only stop as you hear the front door.

Your cell shows 9:17.

You don't bother getting out. The water's cold but you don't care. You hear him walking through the house. He goes into the bedroom. You've been on the couch for days and he's out late, doing what? With who?

Your lip trembles and you splash warm water over your face. You're done crying. You sit up and sigh.

A gentle tapping comes at the door. You don't answer, the water stirring around you as you pull the stopper and stand. As you reach for the towel, his voice comes through the door, "babe."

It stings to hear the pet name. After so long. He wants to act like nothing is wrong. After he didn't even send a message. After you tossed out a whole meal.

You step onto the bath mat and dry off. The door clicks and you quickly wrap yourself in the towel, hiding from him. You're not a skinny blonde with glowing pink cheeks.

"I'm in here," you say.

"Sorry, I… I gotta go," he cringes, "and also, wanted to say hello…"

He puckers up and you cross your arms, "I'm done. Excuse me."

You ignore his attempt at a kiss. He doesn't move and you stare past him. He stretches his arm across the doorframe.

"You okay?"

"Don't. Don't act like nothing happened."

"I'm trying to talk to you-"

"Go piss," you snarl.

"Look, I believe you. That dude, you wouldn't fuck him. I'm just… I was caught off guard, I didn't know what to think. Things have been so tough lately. The watch was nice. Really nice."

"Please, I'm tired. I have to work in the morning–"

"You can't just shut me out–"

"And what have you been doing for the last week? Colin, please."

"Please, I…"

"Where were you? I waited for you. I made dinner, I cleaned. It's nine at night."

His eyes shift to the wall, "work. This new job, it's a lot of extra hours. Like you. Picking up all those night shifts. I feel like we don't see each other."

"You haven't wanted to see me," you accuse.

"I thought– I was stupid, okay? I got scared. It's like I said, I don't deserve you."

You roll your eyes and hug the towel tighter, "whatever."

"Oh, don't do that," he grasps your arms gently, "you know I'm an idiot. Isn't that why you married me?" You try to shrug him off and he slides his hands up to cradle your face, "I love you, baby. I picked up the extra hours so we can take a trip. Book a weekend off and we'll head to the lake."

"Colin," you stare away from him.

"We'll get a room with a hot tub," he lets a hand descend and plays with the top of your towel, "skinny dip… get dinner. This time for real."

"Please," you beg weakly as he tugs on the cotton.

"You always liked to play hard to get," he teases, "let's take the watch back, get you a pair of earrings, huh?"

You gulp, "no, no, I…I don't need earrings." You catch his hands and look at him, "it's gone. I left it at the restaurant and someone snatched it. So… can't even do that right."

"Shit, really? Well, it's just a watch. We'll be okay."

"We will?"

"Oh, for sure, I'm getting a raise. Plus travel pay."

"Travel pay," you cant help but relax as he tickles you playfully.

"Conference out east. I'll be gone a week but when I get back we'll go to the lake."

"Conference? Away?"

"Yeah, I told you I'd have to travel for the job."

"Who else is going?"

"What?"

"It's just you?"

"Well, no, my boss will be going and a few of the other account managers–"

"Your boss?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing, nothing. Makes sense, she probably has to go right."

"Yeah, she–" he hesitates, "she would."

You nod and wait. Will he say it? Will he tell you?

No.

"Is she nice?"

"Who?"

"Your boss? Is she a good boss?"

"Sure, I guess," he pulls away from you, "man, I'm starving. Smells good in here."

"Uh, yeah, well… I burnt the food so it's in the garbage."

"Damn," he backs out of the doorway, "well, I'm sure we can scrounge up something."

"Guess," you skirt around him and head down the hall. He follows, "what are you doing?"

"Just tryna get a peek of the goods," he kids.

"Don't even," you keep yourself covered as you enter the bedroom and search the dresser. "So, you didn't tell me about the job. You like it?"

He pauses, he knows you're changing the subject. He leans on the wall as you keep the towel around you and quickly pull the night shirt on, then step into the loose pants that go with it. You tug the towel from beneath and face him.

"It's a job. Pays better, more freedom, coworkers are nice."

"That's good."

"How's night shift going?" He rubs his neck.

"Lonely, dull," you answer flatly, "nothing special."

"Ah, maybe…"

He lets his voice trickle off as you near him, "maybe what?"

"Maybe you could look for something else? A desk job or maybe do some home cleaning. Lots of rich snobs out there will pay top dollar to not see their own messes."

"It's not that easy."

"You could try," he says.

"Yeah," you hold back the mean thought, I don't have an ex to get me a new gig, "I'll try."

"Mmm, how's mac and cheese? Think I can manage that."

"Mac and cheese?"

"For dinner," he explains brightly and winks, "then maybe you can think of something for dessert."

[shouta-aizawow]

N!!!!!!!!!!

N - Name three things you wish you saw more or in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice)

1. BAKUGOU CENTRIC WHUMP THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE DEKU

Y’all,,, all I want is some Bakugou angst. Not “Bakugou is protective over Deku and they’re both hurt” not “omg they’re stuck in this bad situation together” not “they both have bad home lives” NO I don’t want to read Deku angst he’s lame. Also I don’t like protective Bakugou fics. I want Bakugou being protected

Bakugou Katsuki-whump (200 fics)

Bakugou Katsuki-whump (excluding Deku-whump/angst/hurt/whatever) (1 fic)

Like this is exaggerated ofc but this is how it feels in my heart 😔😔😔😔😔

2. De-Aged Bakugou content 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I’m running a de-aged Bakugou week on Twitter and tumblr, both @babybakuweek so check it out 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 this dream will come true yall (#shameless promo)

3. Bakugou not being villainized for being raised in an unhealthy environment and repeating things he was taught and experienced.

I have so many posts about this, but just in general, him being treated like the kid he is and not being blamed for everything wrong in Deku’s life. Also Deku wasn’t completely innocent either and explicitly makes Bakugou uncomfortable some times but nooooo Bakugou has to be Deku’s friend. Like,,,, give me more content where they both acknowledge their faults during their childhood, not just Bakugou apologizing and then them having to become friends (which is what Deku wants bc Deku treats Bakugou like a symbol and not a person)

He’s a kid and as soon as he left that toxic environment, he improved immensely. Let’s not shame the toddler and 14 yo for not wanting to be this kid’s friend. Did he mistreat Deku? Yeah. Did he bully Deku like how a lot of ppl in the fandom think he did? No.

Also Mitsuki is a bad parent and it shows. Let’s look at children not as objects that exist in a vacuum but as humans that are products of their environment and can grow and change (like Bakugou did). He is not, was not, and never will be a bad kid or person, and he is nowhere near anything like Endeavor. The comparisons are so shallow and annoying (namely looking at how characters in canon compare them when they’re so fundamentally different and Bakugou explicitly dislikes Endeavor bc of what he knows unlike the lowkey abuse apologist Deku)

Extra: Bakugou headcanons that I like

I’m tired of seeing Bakugou stans that like him in the wrong way 🙄🙄🙄 /hj

Just kidding (about liking him in the “wrong way” but not the “tired of seeing it”), but there are a lot of headcanons, fan content, and stuff that make him look shallow or squick me out and ughhhhh. You do you. I just won’t interact that’s all, but I wish I didn’t have to see it (looking at you Twitter)

I love seeing the things I like tho obviously🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

OH OH OH ALSO ALSO BAKUGOU BEING THE CHILD OF ENDEAVOR WOOOOOOOOO (thank you sir candle shop for your fic <3 thank you all authors that write fics with that premise too <3)

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
