🚨SPOILERS FOR FANTASY HIGH JUNIOR YEAR EPISODE 6🚨

Dimension20 "Fantasy High Junior Year"

Episode 6 "Party Politics"

Timestamp: 1:41:19

Video Length: 4min. & 56sec.

Riz's Pass-Fail theory gets debunked + Ragh reminding everyone about dinner with his mom + Fig saying she might not wanna be a bard anymore

Riz: "I also think we have to be really careful going forward, because Kipperlilly's team is trying to get us kicked out of school or get us to flunk. I think we need to find out what happened to Lucy Frostblade, if Lucy actually died. But I do know that you switch to pass-fail if somebody from your team dies."

Kristen: "Right, did they need to switch to pass-fail?"

Riz: "But if Kipperlilly were to-"

Adaine: "But it's only for the year, right?"

Riz: "-become class president, maybe she could change that rule. Maybe they just need good grades to get into whatever school that they're trying to get into."

Kristen: "Why does she want to be president? Yeah."

Riz: "That would be, that's why they need-"

Emily: "But, Ivy didn't act like...I mean, yes, it's possible that she saw, but she would have to be able to... It's not like I rolled a bad Deception."

Riz: "Either way, even if Lucy left the party, if your party is incomplete, you switch to pass-fail. So if any of them can't afford to go to school or something, they can't get scholarships now."

Brennan asks Riz for a history or investigation check and he gets a 28! 😁

Brennan: "As you're speaking, you remember that slip in the yearbook and you know that yearbooks come in time for graduation. But you suddenly remember that there's usually about a week or two weeks in between when your final exams are."

Murph: "Right."

Brennan: "And there's no more things that affect your grade after that. Having done all that research beforehand, the majority of the pie chart of when Lucy could've 'disappeared' that they wouldn't have been able to include it in the yearbook is actually in a period of time where there wouldn't have been grading. It would've been after finals."

Murph: "So if you start a new year, you can have a different adventuring party?"

Brennan: "Yes, basically you can't swap in ringers in the middle of your school year."

Lou: "But it makes sense that they would want to bring in a ringer like our not bad baby, Buddy, who is the backup team chosen one of Helio. They see a chance to bring him in, you kill Lucy."

Emily: "'Cause Lucy Frostblade, I'm almost like, was she not healing-focused enough?"

Brennan: "It's not listed in the yearbook, but finding out what domain she was associated with-"

Emily: "Me, I'm thinking war domain when I hear Frostblade."

Siobhan: "Right, and if he's Helio, he's a light domain cleric. Right?"

Lou: "We shouldn't be prejudiced like that."

Brennan: "Yolanda would've taught Lucy, so your cleric teacher-"

Ally: "Okay, great."

Brennan: "Your cleric teacher would've taught Lucy."

The bad kids have their egg slurry! 😭😭💀💀

Brennan: "And then Ragh wanders out, and you can see that he's scraping butter and sweat off his body that's been there all night."

Ragh: "Um."

Gorgug: "Were you supposed to take a shower a while ago?"

Ragh: "I did." 😭😭😭

Gorgug: "Really?" 😭💀

Adaine: "Wow, did you use soap?"

Ragh: *rolls eyes* "****!" *turns around*

Fabian: "Which shower did you use?" 😭😭😭

Brennan: "He[Ragh] turns around. 20 minutes later, he comes back out" 😭

Ragh: "Mom's making lunch."

Everyone remembers 😂🤣💀

Riz: "Okay, yeah, we're gonna go have lunch with your mom. Let's go do it."

Kristen: "Before we go, does anyone else have any big 💩 weighing on their hearts and minds?"

Fig: "Um, I think I don't wanna be a bard anymore."

Kristen: "Really?"

Fig: "I went to warlock class, and it just clicked."

Kristen: "Dang, okay."

Fig: "It clicked."

Fabian & Riz: "That's cool."

Adaine: "For warlock class, did you have to buy like 10 barrels of diamonds?"

Fig: "No, we just talked about the power of relationships, and I just feel like that's my 💩."

Adaine: "That's so interesting to me."

Zac: "But we now are locked in our classes, right?"

Brennan: "It's already been the first week of classes, yeah."

Zac: "This sucks."

Brennan: "But! There are offices. The vice principal's office is there. If you guys wanted to switch classes mid-year or do other stuff, you can submit that. It was due on the 1st of the year, but you've seen there's a lot of loopholes and interesting things. Arthur Aguefort, over hundreds of years of running this school, has said a lot of contradictory stuff, and one of his rules is that anything he verbally said became school canon."

Emily: "So we can pick and choose quotes of his."

Brennan: "Yeah, exactly, so there's a lot of wiggle room if you wanna switch a class, right?"

Riz: "Maybe if Kristen becomes school president, maybe we make some of this stuff a little simpler. I feel like we've been doing a lot of stuff, some practical application of our classes, and I feel like we haven't gotten credit for like half the stuff we're doing. We're having to destroy ourselves to pass these classes."

Gorgug: "This is a good platform."

Kristen: "Okay, yeah, right."

Riz: "And this works for everybody."

Kristen: "Can you write a little speech about this?"

Riz: "Of course."

Adaine: "World saving should count more than rat *******."

Kristen: "That is perfectly put."

Brennan: "You head to Mordred Manor. As you do so-"

The dome turns REALLY BRIGHT! 😂😂💀💀 Big color change! 😂🤣💀

Ally: "OMG!"

Brennan: "It's so bright!"

The amazing caption team: "(Zac croaking)"

Ally: "I'm wearing two pairs of sunglasses."

Murph: "Yeah, Riz is also wearing sunglasses."

Adaine tries to cast "Dispel Magic" at the sun! 😭😭✋✋

Brennan and Ally's laughter! 😂😂 Dispel Magic at the sun was funny fr! 😂🤣💀

Show/Movies I would show the Helluva Boss characters

This is rlly random but this started with the thought of Blitz liking MLP and kinda spiraled from there.

Blitzø

MLP: I think this one is pretty self-explanatory. I think he would like the ponies and the whole friendship thing. Actuakky think he would bully a brony to get a figure of his favs (and tell them to shower). He would probs love Pinkie Pie. (this stemmed from This Day Aria playing lol)

Spirit: horse.

Loona

Teen Wolf: A show I know nothing about. Just would show it to her. This would probably get me killed.

Alpha and Omega: I wouldn't even get to 10 minutes in the movie. I am dead

Moxxie

Steven Universe (both the shows and movie): Purely because of the music. If anything, he would also enjoy the animation and he would LOVEE Pearl. He would create a teir list of all the songs and rate them.

Sooo many movies to show him, but I would show him, but I have to say Chicago. Once he learns the songs it's over for literally everyone.

Millie

Tbh not really a show, but any crime documentary or documentaries with the baby animals.

Selena (1997): I think Millie would LOVEE Selena, and I also want to instill the hatered ofYolanda into her. That woman could never have too many haters.

Stolas

Any historic romance drama (like Bridgerton): We already know he loves telenovelas, so I also think that he would love the messiness of the relationships. You know how in every season, the main couple would have an arguement and not talk for a while? He is sobbing like a baby LMFAO- Also would show him any romance K-drama, esp the BL ones.

Moulin Rouge: Kinda historic, but mainly bc it has main character death lol he would also enjoy the music.

Striker

Moonshiners: I have no idea what this show is about, probably about people making moonshine. Never really watched it,but I have seen glimpses of it when my grandpa would watch it. Think because of it, he would probs try to make his own moonshine.

The Godfather: He would probs like all the violence lol. it just fits him idk kekw

Asmodeus

Grey's Anatomy: Not because it's a doctor show, but because it's SOOO MESSY LMFAOO- Have y'all seen that one tik tok of the person with the chart of who slept with who? That would be Ozzie. Also think he would love the drama.

(This is for both him and Fizz) Who Framed Roger Rabbit: Do I need to explain??

Alt: Burlesque: rlly don't know how to explain this one

Fizzarollie

Any old cartoon: I think he would like the loonyness of the charaters and would probs would us some of the gags.

Refer back to Asmodeus

Alt: Adam Sandler movies: i just find them funny, plus some of his romance movies are cute

#helluva boss x reader #this is just really dumb #helluva blitzo #helluva loona #helluva moxxie #helluva millie #helluva stolas #helluva striker #helluva asmodeus #helluva fizzarolli #☾adoniswrites

I want to infodumb about my OC Brigitte so that is exactly what I’m going to do :3

For starters, she goes by she/her pronouns but honestly wouldn’t give a shit if you referred by something else and she’s AroAce.

Technically, her full name is Brigitte Night-Torn Septim but she finds it to be way too much of a mouthful so she just goes by Brigitte Night-Torn

She was born 30th of Rain’s Hand and as such was born under The Mage Sign

She has joint problems and thus walks with a cane.

Despite the fact her dad is a 6’8” behemoth of a Nord man she is actually very short for a Nord/Imperial only standing at 5’1” and some change. Nobody knows why she’s so short but she jokes that her brother took all her height just as she took all his muscle (he’s 6’5” and has a very lithe build).

As stated: short but very burly, pretty muscular compared to the average not working person.

She has sectorial heterchromia, so left eye is blue but the right eye has a large brown section to it. (If her eye was a pie chart, about 65% would be brown)

Both she and her twin brother, Micah, are Dragonborn but only she really is the true Last Dragonborn prophesied because she was the one to land the killing blow on Alduin, was born first and dies last.

She is both Autistic and has ADHD, will infodump about Daedra and/or Dragons for hours.

Has a lot of social anxiety and often will go hours without talking.

Has a knack for magic and often uses it to assist on her heists or just to be an asshole.

Joined the Thieves Guild after a footpad from the guild tried to rob her and she beat him with her cane, took his valuables and hid using an invisibly spell and she knack for stealth, the rest of the guild was so dumbfounded that they just had to meet and later recruit her.

She is in a Queer Platonic relationship with Brynjolf

Absolutely cringefail, has accidentally made it a habit to fall into the Thieves Guild Cistern at least twice a month.

Girl can and would sleep though the end of the world, she’s a tired bitch (affectionate).

Has a major sweet tooth and her favorite food is chocolate cake and a hot cup of tea to go with it.

Pretty mellow with most things, when it comes to running the Thieves Guild, her go-with-the-flow attitude was a major adjustment and caused a few members of the guild a lot of confusion and/or stress for a short period of time.

Due to her dad being Daedric in origin (HOK!Sheo) she inherited what is essentially a “Daedra radar” so she can very quickly tell if an item, place or person has a Daedra linked to if in anyway or is of Daedric origin, and has a slightly extended lifespan (naturally her brother has the same abilities).

She is very mischievous and will pull (mostly) harmless pranks on people she knows will be okay with it. Her personal favorite is to slightly move furniture around and watch people bump into them and get more and more frustrated.

Has a habit of gently biting people she cares about, namely her brother and her Dads.

Her hobbies include: cooking, sewing, making weapons, making jewelry, and reading.

Character creation fact: I wanted her to have short fluffy hair early on because 1. I thought it would be cute and 2. The way I was writing her she sounded like the type who’d just cut most her hair off and call it a day rather than try to take care of a ton of it. I also initially made her dad be the one who has Heterchromia but changed it to her because I simply thought I’d look better on her

My point is that our view of domestic violence is wrong in three ways.

And that is, first of all, bilateral abuse needs to be talked about. Like I said, half of domestic abuse is bilateral. Both partners are doing it.

The second is there's a multiplicity of causes of domestic violence, not just male power and control. That's one cause. And that is also reflected by women too.

And the third, is it's not a gendered issue, men and women both do it.

What else is missing from the relational aggression standpoint? What's missing around the discussion to do with domestic violence?

Suicides in general as a result of domestic violence needs to be talked about, big time. The constant bombardment and pressure of psychological abuse, by both men and women, is horrific and not discussed.

Again, everyone talks about domestic homicide, it's mostly talked about, you know, pretty much exclusively talked about as men doing to women. And it is mostly men doing it to women. About 77% of domestic homicides are men killing women. That doesn't mean we can't talk about that final quarter. But it is mostly women.

But no one talks about suicides, that are caused by domestic violence, which are overwhelmingly male. And if you actually bring in suicides as a result of abuse, there are more male deaths as a result of domestic violence than female.

And that, again, a massive, massive half of the pie chart that's just ignored, because it's unpopular.

What is that, a guy is in a relationship with a woman, and the pressure of that interpersonal sort of toxicity stuff, causes him to take his own life?

Yeah, and moreso abuse by proxy; using children, taking children away, using the court system to destroy a man's life. Parental alienation, for example, is when, one parent turns the child against the other parent. So you basically your child that, "your dad's a deadbeat" or "your mum's..." you know, "a piece of shit" and over time, you basically turn the child against a parent, that's parental alienation. No one talks about that, and that is abuse. And that can, and does lead to suicides.

We need a much higher resolution discussion on domestic violence that isn't just this trope of male violence, because that is just a small wedge of the problem.

It's not about pointing fingers, it's about breaking the cycle of violence, because violence is reciprocal and generational, and it's passed down through families and childhood. And unless you're going to look at both sides of the equation, you'll never solve it.

3, 8, 12, 14 & 19 :3

Ahhh thank you Emily! Sorry this took longer, I've been chipping at this through the week when I've had time, hooray for weekend! I also couldn't pick and did everyone so apologies if you were only looking for one specific pairing, alas-

3. Jealousy issues?

chloe x jacob - Ehehehehehe... yeah. They both have trusting and more confident moments, but they come later on in the relationship. Immature rage cases both of them in the beginning. For being such strong minded individuals they sure are codependent, and it is not a cute look.

theo x john -Theo isn't the Jealous type. John however... is an absolute dramatic insecure pissbaby. Hurts his own feelings more than thrice.

pie x sharky -Pie isn't easily bothered, Sharky isn't either, more whiny about it than actually jealous.

8. Have an AU thought?

chloe x jacob - I have butcher shop thoughts now and again, but I've never run with it.

theo john - Boy oh boy oh boy oh BOY. Ehem. So I have a wing AU for my angel baby boys bouncing around my cranial. Very biblical. Very Lucifer/Michael coded. Very angsty. Physically restraining myself from only painting Theo and John as angels over classical pieces repeatedly over and over and over. -There are also fae John/human Theo thoughts.. the pushiness/anger to get people to say yes could so easily be translated into name grabbing. He would also be SO pretty jdhfgkzjyg

pie sharky - They don't have any extras *yet* but I feel like there will be more than a few overtime.

12. How Are there communication skills?

chloe x jacob - Being a creep who psychoanalyzes everything its easy for Jacob to read her moods often before she does, and act accordingly. Chloe is fucking exhausted and the ease of not having to use her brain to full capacity is an addictive out. That goes to say that they communicate very poorly. Jacob is in denial of most of his feelings as it is, while Chloe is a disassociation queen and lets things bottle up until everything bursts out in one go.

theo x john - Theo is excellent in communication. He's always one to consider others feelings and still say his bit, the "hey I just need to rant for a second" guy. John does communicate his emotions decently, but his emotion chart is often off kilter in high emotion circumstances. This is.. less than effective when it comes to communicating how he actually feels. It can take a few drafts for him to get to the right place.

pie x sharky - Pie's bio mom was a therapist. This means shes clinically good at communicating even if there are times she doesn't have the energy. Burning out often leads her to shutdown and talking can be too much in those moments. She can handle Sharky's more immature and direct ways of communicating either way, and the two of them are basically mind melded. Sharky is very outspoken about his feelings just in a way that's not always the most delicate.

14. How did they first meet?

chloe x jacob - Chloe and Jacob's very first encounter is one of my favorites. Jacob found her camp, with Chloe in her sleeping bag on the forest floor. His goal to capture her, he mounted her sleeping form much like you would attempt to capture an alligator. Huge commotion, she bit his hand, he knocked her out with a stick. Wasn't a whole lot she could do, arms pinned to her sides with his legs and all. I REALLY love the imagery for this that lives in my head and hope to one day be able to comm it and poster print it.

theo x john - John came up to the whitetails to check on some shipments and pick up some new Chosen to bring into the valley. They never spoke, but lots of 'sneaky' staring. John wanted to bring Theo, which Jacob shut down immediately. He wasn't going to part with his best soldier and closest thing to a friend he's had in years. The pining never stops though, and it was instant obsession for John.

pie x sharky - Pie came to Hope County as a pre-teen. Before then she grew up spending summers with her uncle, helping to run errands and keep up on the farm. Pie would run into Sharky sneaking around, and later they were in the same class before Sharky dropped out.

19. How are they at parties or gatherings?

chloe x jacob - Chloe is either intoxicated and the biggest flirt, or standing in the corner not talking to anyone at all. Party? Jacob is *outside* the building. - With gatherings when she's comfortable Chloe is very much the unhinged goblin child of the group. It takes quite a bond to pull this side out of her though, it's not common she's comfortable enough. Jacob 'capt stick in the mud' is the entity haunting the group, unless there's a rare occasions he's in a good mood with only Theo and sometimes Chloe too. He has standards to uphold.

theo x john - Theo is always a joy at gathering. Social enough, outgoing and supportive of his comrades. Chaperone with a violence tolerance, he'll let a fight play out if he thinks it'll be interesting. He's there to stitch up any of his idiots if they need it. John is a bit of an overbearing drunk, very clingy. If hes not comfortable getting wasted with the people there he's not going. - Theo and John are both professionals in gathering/meeting situations. Theo is used to holding meetings, trainings and debriefs with his men. Jacob is almost never without him, and Theo is a guest at holidays/family meetings. John having experience from his profession as a lawyer can be as put together as he needs to be, easily fooling a majority into thinking he has it all together.

pie x sharky - LIFE of the party- both of them. Pie maybe a bit safer than Sharky, but together they can lift almost anyone's spirits. They now have a routine of coming to party, and then leaving exactly 2hrs in to go play by themselves. Sharky's 'social battery' holds a much better charge than Pie's. - In gatherings, neither of them are afraid to speak their mind confidently and engage in a group setting. Pie is always one to quietly observe first, analyzing everyone in the room. Shaky is just here to have a good time, comparatively.

#thank you for these!! <3 #otp asks #otp: djinn & death #chloe x jacob #ship: wrought in sin #theo x john #ship: cabaret conflagration #pie x sharky #oc: chloe felix #oc: theo #oc: doreen “pie” boshaw

Hiiii icon✨✨✨

is it cool if I ask you abt how ur ocs' relationship dynamic with others varies depending on who decides to show up to meet tenjiku ahahaha

(pls go crazy)

bad with words so i made a chart but i think i am also bad with charts idk how much this helps. also obviously there’s more to relationships than like/dislike but here is the charts.

timeline 1 graph starts when the caller joins tenjiku up to kanto incident. timeline 2 graph starts about halfway through timeline 1 up to kanto incident.

and details:

in timeline 2 the callers are better with izana, or at least izana knows more about madonna and solo. in all graphs it ends off poorly with izana because that’s when the caller ‘betrayed’ tenjiku, and izana figures out it’s the same person.

the dip in the kakucho-jokanan line is because he initially thought jokanan was an alright guy for getting izana to be so lively and all, so he approached him about how izana was going down a dark path etc. but the caller didn't actually care about tenjiku's path, and izana was Really attached to kisaki's ability to facilitate his vendetta so jokanan just went "sorry buddy it's out of my hands". and after that kakucho sorta considers jokanan as a kisaki with manners.

kakucho more or less likes solomon. his criteria for what makes a person likeable is situationally low and solomon demonstrates a genuine sense of morals and honor which sticks out compared to the other callers.

speak of the devil kisaki never likes the caller especially the leader, because they’re meddling with tenjiku.

sanzu really hates all of the callers. i can't exactly explain the whole relationship between the caller and sanzu if i want to be concise, because it had less to do with plot and more with backstory and fleshing out characters. so it wasn't included in the summary, but it was pretty important in retrospect.

intially, sanzu was concerned about this group, because they had their fingers in too many peoples pie, so he posed as a different toman member asking the client for help. they turned this 'client' away because it was the peak of the groups infamy and they were too busy. sanzu winds up the most persistent rejected client, and the caller eventually acquiesces to talk, bcz why do you care so much.

note: the callers process is really personal and consists of forming a trusting relationship with a client, which is why they're so picky-choosy with clients - they single out people who don't have anyone else and become the only person they rely on. in this way, money can be completely forgone for a favor system instead. the caller leaves them just as empty, now 'owing' them in some way. (this isn't particularly monstrous or charitable as it sounds).

through exchanges with sanzu, they deduce that he isn't viable as a client but sanzu is interesting in 2 ways: 1) he is already empty save for something requiring all his devotion in a similar fashion to a client. 2) he hides something horrible in his memory relating to this devotion. (this is the scar incident but they don't know)

in timeline 1, their reason for being so isolated was because of a past event they can't remember and refer to as a 'black hole' in their memory (as in, memory goes in but doesn't come back out). they thought sanzu had the same case that they had, so they were curious if sanzu was somehow able to recall his own 'black hole memory', and tried to bring it out.

the impact this has on sanzu's perception of the caller is bad lmfao. but he's also marginally attached to them because at the time, he had to come to terms with the fact that if he were to continue his path of supporting mikey, he would have to resort to worse methods (ex. he later kills mucho which is a big step up from before). he thought the caller, who indirectly caused a lot of conflicts and crimes in the past, knew how to drive a person past the moral obstacles of wrongdoings. in his position, he couldn't confide in someone in toman (later in tenjiku, there's even less people he can trust), so he was ironically safer with a stranger. i won't go into anymore detail because this is a very long paragraph but at the end, they sort of both realize the other person knew nothing about what they were trying to find out (L)

plot-wise, sanzu eventually finds out jokanan and leader are the ‘same person’ before izana does, but he has no loyalty to tenjiku so he doesn’t tell him 😭. in timeline 2, sanzu is more of a neutral dislike because the caller already went through that development so theres no reason to bother him anymore.

anyways sanzu also thinks jokanan is annoying because he keeps calling him stupid shit (horse jokes, soldier-boy (mocking), dog jokes (regionally offensive. not even the right region)).

TLDR: they were using each other b4 they realized the other wasn’t usable at all

another thing i left out more because of incompleteness was that the caller hangs with hanma and hinata for a relatively long time (not the same time lol). i won’t get into that because it’s unfinished rn 😔

#a-pair-of-socks #tokyo revengers oc #this took so long i'm sorry TOT #i rlly do appreciate asks abt my oc #i'm just bad with words the story is taking a long time #it works more as a supplementary to the tenjiku arc because it's just expanding on existing characters which were cut #but it's really messy in structure idk how this is gonna work #most of this info was more inferred than stated in the script #toow

being in aroace education mode has me all fired up...... one thing i talk about a lot when given the opportunity is Deconstructing How We Think About Relationships - in short, if we put all of our relationships with other people into a pie chart the 'romantic partner' slice is likely to be a very small slice but gets a disproportionate amount of Relationship Infrastructure compared to other categories, such as vocabulary, rituals, attention and narrative scaffolding - entire systems such as dating / finding "the one" / break-ups / the relationship escalator, etc. on the flipside, 'friend' is such a vast category consisting of a plethora of different relationship, all ranging from Friendly Acquantaince to Extremely Close Childhood Friend You Share Everything With, but we have a lot less language and structure for how we think about these relationships even though many of them can be deeply important and intense to us.

the line between romance and friendship is really blurry, maybe even non-existent, but it feels like the way we think about these categories is that Romantic Partner is this one very specific, formalised box of a category, while Friend is a vast and vague landscape where anything can happen - and it's on this free real estate we have built structures like Queerplatonic Partner. the concept has probably existed since forever, along with many other different types of relationships throughout time and cultures, but it's our current attempt at having a Word for it.

are you with me so far? i want to write a blog post about Deconstructing Intimacy.

just putting a CW here that i'm going to say the word sex a lot and touch on the topic of sexual trauma.

one of the very thorny things about This Whole Topic is that sex and sexuality is extremely political. we just do not live in a world where there's any neutral ground to stand on regarding sex. every demographic comes with a lot of assumptions and expectations and moral judgement tied to sexuality. some demographics are desexualised, some are hypersexualised, some are Both At Once, and in addition to that there's lots of stigma, moralizing, pathologizing, and lawmaking. just a whole mess.

so all of That makes it kind of impossible to fully Dethrone Sex. and by dethroning sex i mean stripping it of the baggage it's accumulated in our cultures. Sex Is A Thing You Can Do With Your Body (And Your Mind?). this does not have to make it any less or more meaningful to you than what it already is. what each person considers intimate is very individual. many people find hugging completely inconsequential and will hug anyone at any time, and for some people a hug is A Lot. For some people, sex is a very fun and casual activity, and for others it's Sacred and carries a lot of meaning and a very close bond. sex is intimate - it requires trust and vulnerability.

it is not the only way to achieve trust and closeness, nor the only thing that requires it.

whenever i take the bus somewhere, i trust the bus driver to take me there safely. i put my literal life in a stranger's hands, but it's a very casual affair i don't think about too much. it's not an act of intimacy, just someone doing their job.

i think the way we talk about sexual assault as the evillest most horribly irredeemably worse-than-death thing, and sexual trauma as a unique kind of trauma amongst traumas, is... indicative. and please do not get me wrong, SA is a horrible thing in every way. it's a violation of trust, vulnerability and personal space. it's an abuse of power. those are the things that make it so horrific - but it's not unique.

an abuse of power, a violation of trust and vulnerability, can happen in so many different forms. emotional abuse, non-sexual violence, medical abuse, et cetera - i don't think it's possible to place trauma into a hierarchy from least to most bad. trauma can be incredibly complex and it's different for everyone. if one day the bus driver on a whim decided to drive off a cliff, i think that would severely fuck up my ability to trust other people to drive me around. if i trusted someone with my innermost thoughts that i have never shared with anyone else, and they used them to be cruel to me, that would severely impede my ability to connect with others.

i just... don't think it does anyone any favours to separate sexual trauma from all other trauma - making it seem like sexual trauma is The Worst Trauma Possible You Can Never Heal From, and on the flipside, make it seem like Well Your Non-Sexual Trauma Cannot Possibly Be That Bad.

TRAUMA TOPIC ASIDE, i think the concept of intimacy has a tendency to get flattened into just the one kind. there are many, Many ways for people to be intimate, many activities that require some form of mutual vulnerability or physical contact, but it seems like we're just very used to placing Acts of Intimacy into the Sexual category. kind of like a venn diagram where the two circles are Sexual Intimacy and Non-sexual Intimacy that are largely overlapping. but what if, instead, it's more that Intimacy is a really big circle, and sex is just one of the circles within it?

the way i think this slots into the whole Relationship Infrastructure thing is that We Like To Categorize Things. if we see two people being very intimate in a way that's not explicitly sexual, it's tempting to think ah yes they are in love AND they're having sex, OBVIOUSLY, because they are clearly capable of having that level of trust and vulnerability together. but what if they're not? does that devalue their relationship? does it make them any less close? these are very chewy questions to ask even without bringing shipping discourse into it, and i would prefer Not To because sexuality is political and there is no right answer.

another way this flattening can be frustrating is all the times non-sexual intimacy is treated as Sexual By Proxy. let's say, for example, you're telling a story, and all forms of intimacy within that story get read as metaphors for sex, despite your actual intentions. there's nothing wrong with using metaphors for sex, especially since Sex Is Political and sometimes we gotta be clever about the storytelling - but it can get very messy if people read sexuality between characters who don't have that, especially characters between which it would be very problematic to portray that. we gotta be able to tell stories about all kinds of close relationships, and surely it should be possible without bringing freud into it at every turn.

intimacy is context-dependent, i would say. a moment of vulnerability can be platonic or romantic or sexual or maybe something else depending on a situation and all the factors involved. human connection is an boundless spectrum, not just a couple boxes.

did any of this make sense? they're just my Thoughts, i'm not a scholar on this i just

#too long for twitter #aro ace tag #asexuality #aromantic #and look. i too am a proponent of calling things gay (complimentary) without it being Explicitly Gay in a sexuality sense.

1/6/2024 – My time, my sense of enjoyment

I feel like there was an acceptance of how time continues to pass with this new year. Not a whole lot of anticipation, just a matter of fact of another day that happens to mark the start of the new year. But, it's a good thing to think about how I want to grow this year and to set those intentions haha...

I don't know when the phrase "I have to start respecting my own time better" came in my mind, but I think that sums up pretty succinctly what I think this year's theme is about. I think there's a lot of good in how I'm very available and generous with my time, but I think the downside of that is, I find myself idling, scrolling social media, waiting on others to play with me (doll on a shelf), or being in situations where I feel like I'm not valuing my own time (stuck in a 4hr date that I've lost interest 3.5 hours ago).

I think part of this is learning to choose myself over others. I know that sounds contradictory to what we're called to as Christians. I know we're supposed to be self-sacrificial, but I think I'm arguing here that it doesn't always mean foregoing yourself. And I think secular therapists often say, setting boundaries doesn't make you selfish - it's maybe even more kind, because you are then able to love more authentically without resentment and without losing yourself. I'm reminded of how Christ would sometimes find a private place to pray, away from His disciples and the crowd. In those moments he chose to be refreshed and poured in to so He can continue to teach and love centered on God.

Being available and free with my time, my extroversion, has maybe become so prominent in my identity that the other parts of me have been neglected. It's not a bad thing that I am available with my time or that I enjoy hanging out with people, it's just that if I say yes to everything (bboy competitions, monster truck rallies, ski trips, walking Stacey's dogs), I can't say yes to the things I want to do. In a recent conversation with Nat, she mentioned that she never gets to the things she wants to do and that frustrates her. I realized that my "things I want to do" list is just to "hang out with people and do fun stuff", but that's often dictated by what others want to do - I just say yes to whatever. I think it's been a while since I've asked myself what do *I* want to do? To cultivate my own sense of enjoyment again, that doesn't depend on others.

I was on a date where we were talking about when I stopped being in to anime or kpop – I realized that in middle school and high school, I truly enjoyed time on my own. Making kpop GIFs, reading manga, watching YT videos... I had friends, but my life didn't revolve around their availability and I wasn't desperate to fill my schedule. In college, somehow I started to equate my value with my relationships with others and that came out in the expression of needing to be spending time all the time with people. And post-grad, I think it might've became worse, with more free time, the more I felt the need to fill it with people.

I remember having my small group in college do an exercise where they made a pie chart of what they spent their time on in a week to show what you spend your time on is what you value. I think my pie chart right now would be a sliver for work, and a majority of it would be social media and hanging out with/dating people. I think the goal for this year is to have more balance and diversification and spend more time on things that I've been wanting to do more solo. Creating art, painting, taking photography walks, reading, spending time with God, exercising... things that I know bring me joy that I've deprioritized in the past few years because I would choose people first.

Lord, thank you for creating me with my unique giftings, personality, and desires. Thank you for creating me in your image and for giving me value and worth that no one can take away. I pray that in this new year, I would cultivate these parts of me and to find so much joy in seeing you in these areas. I hope that when I create something, I can appreciate your artistic mastery, when I exercise, I hope to be grateful for this body, when I walk outside, I hope to see you in the leaves and birds. Thank you for giving me the eyes to see you in your people, I pray that I'll see you in many other parts of my life – to be able to worship you with my whole life, to worship you with my joy. Amen!

What to write

I have been craving to write since the last entry, but now I am faced with a blank page, my mind went blank. I got nothing to write. It is funny how things can build up in your system and when it is time to dump it, you find it has gone out without you noticing.

I wish I could stop writing, because it means, I would have control over my emotions and not needing to organize or dump it out in a written form.

Right now I am at a Starbucks. Next to me, a Korean lady who has been talking to someone (I think her mom) on the phone for the past half an hour (ok, maybe less). Unfortunately for me, this is annoying. I could understand only bits and pieces of what she is talking about, mainly because I have watched too much Korean Dramas. The bits and pieces is the annoying part. Because if I had not understood it at all, or had the conversation been in english, I could just ignore it. But understanding bits and pieces are like playing a game and when you understand something your brain gives you a hit of dopamine, so you keep playing and in this instance I keep listening. Definitely, annoying.

For a brief second today, I felt like an adult. No, not the I have figured out what life is all about and how to do it properly, nor the I know what I am doing kind. But more like, if I were a plant, I feel as if I have completely detached from my parent's root system. As if I have had established my own roots system that is not touching from the original plants (i.e. original family). The feeling only lasted a split second though. Mainly because I am fully aware that this is not true in reality. I still lived in a familial home (somewhat), since I paid boarding expense to my relative who owns the place. So the ties is still there. The root is still intertwined.

But I neve had that feeling before. I tried to fabricate it in the past, trying to convince myself that I am truly an independent being, but never really felt it. Until today. A few months away from being 39.

What does that feeling mean? Well for right now, as I am reporting live as the feeling just emerged and my brain trying to unpack and trying verbalize it all, it means, space.

The mental image is if a person is a pie chart, and all the relationships in your life can be divided into sections, in the past my life would be just 90% familial ties (despite not having been around them for almost 3 decades), it is more like an energetical bonds, and maybe the rest is relationships with myself, work colleagues, friends. Barely that.

But today when I got that 'hit', the pie chart feels empty, like in a good way, like it feels now it is the reverse, like the familial space is only taking 1%-5% of my pie. Now that sense of Independence is the sudden awareness of that empty 95%. All of the sudden now, I actually have space to fill it with whatever I want or whomever I want. Now the energetical space is, available. Does this mean new relationships (non necessarily romantical) would come to me now? i

Just a thought. Also the lady next to me is still talking to her mom, so I think I will just end today's entry here. I am very annoyed (not her fault) and don't want to listen to her stuffs anymore.

Would there be any significant difference to the show if canon Adrien/Chat Noire was portrayed like how @zoe-oneesama does Adrien/Chat in the Scarlet Lady Comic?

Well, I haven't talked about how awesome @zoe-oneesama is on tumblr recently so...

It'd definitely be an improvement.

Even if we discount that part of Adrien's personality and antics would be due to having to deal with Scar as a partner, there's all the other stuff outside of that. Things that really build his character and actually MAKE him the cinnamon roll that canon just fails to do.

Canon Adrien is mostly passive. And not even in the way a real person would be where they still feel angry or hurt. Canon Adrien just gets sad and does nothing else. And even in his interactions with others, it feels like he's simply "there" rather than a part of what's going on.

Scarlet Lady Adrien is more reactive and just emotes more in general. He responds to the things going on around him. He gets happy. He gets disappointed. He gets MAD. He gets snarky. The sort of snark we actually saw from Adrien in season one of the series so we KNOW is possible. And he has emotions and attitude that are a whole range on a scale rather than a pie chart with only three options.

Look to this one comic from the Stormy Weather episode for example. To this day, it remains one of my favorites of the series. In eight panels, we saw a whole range of emotions from Adrien. From hopeful as to who his partner will be to disappointed when Alya is chosen. To excited when Alya presents Marinette as an option. And then the final panel when he looks like all happiness has been stolen and even asks "why can things never just be nice?"

This is part of what makes Scarlet Lady Adrien engaging. He's actually happy. We see him happy. We see him mad. We see how he acts when he's happy or mad. We see him responding to other people and in a way that honestly feels like he's a real teenager instead of a product placement.

He isn't just there to look pretty or make jokes, and in fact, part of what makes him funny is that he isn't obviously or actively trying to be funny. Sure, he has his moments of witty banter and puns, but it's not all he does or the only form of humor. The best humor comes from the interplay between the characters and we see that here when Adrien's funniest moments are those that involve other people. The aforementioned comic with his responses to Alya and Chloe. The biting comments and general reaction to Scarlet Lady. His less than tactful responses to Chloe. His response to Fu. And especially his reactions regarding his father.

And that's the other thing to bear in mind: the effect on Adrien and Marinette by having the other classmates actually interact. The cute moments between him and Marinette are well and good enough, but since he is shown to care more about Marinette than canon, we get more moments of him reacting to her in ways that are funny and endearing. And since all sides of the love square are given focus, it feels like there is more depth to the relationship because all sides feel valid, emotional, and healthy. And that's just the love square!

Then you have the moments between him and Nino. From when they first meet to their first school picture and just them being best bros the way that canon SAYS but doesn't actually SHOW. He has more interaction with the other classmate in comic or in bonuses. Then there's his reactions to Chloe that are always amazing whether the obvious callout or seemingly innocently insensitive. Not to mention her as Scar and THAT particular relationship.

Sure, Adrien's moments as snarky and sweet are okay on their own, but they wouldn't mean nearly as much or be as impactful if Zoe hadn't utilized characters like Nino the way she had. The moment in Origins when Adrien admits he never had friends and Nino offers his friendship is more endearing in Scarlet Lady. Adrien having a response to his photographer suggesting adding someone to the scene makes me feel for him and want the same outcome. We see earlier on that he does see and notice the things Chloe is doing and is not okay with them. He didn't have to be cruel to Chloe, but at least a call out would have been something. Scarlet Lady Adrien responds to the people around him as people, calling out the bad and appreciating the good. The way a real person would.

The thing is, by giving focus to the other characters the way Zoe has, they feel real. And their reactions and interactions with Adrien feel more real in turn because of that and ultimately enhance the scenes and interactions between them. Part of this may due to the medium Zoe is using as a comic instead of a less than half hour show, but she uses her time and space well, with each subsection of the plot being able to stand alone in 4 vertical panels before moving on to the next subsection and all work together in the set "episode" to tell the overarching story. Even with that limited time, she's able to give more focus and personality to more characters than canon has managed. Even with the different medium, that's something canon COULD have managed if they'd made the effort or at least weren't reliant on this "rule" of Adrien being "perfect" and Marinette being the only one to ever be wrong and learn a lesson.

Scarlet Lady Adrien isn't just the Adrien that may have been if Chloe had gotten the earrings. He's the Adrien the show itself could have had if they would just treat him like a person who isn't perfect, who makes mistakes, and who is fully capable of DOING things instead of just being the creators' voice of morality. And if we had a canon Adrien who had this much personality or at least had more emotive responses than "sad", "calm", and "Chat Noir"? Or if we just had Zoe on the writing team.

I think it'd be much improved.

So, the original plan was to do these quotes until Joe and Cleo finished their models, which was half accomplished during this stream (yay Cleo!). Question is should I still continue these after Joe has finished his model, or have we had enough now? Favourite moments of Joe and Cleo model stream part 7! Link to the video is below and time stamps are above each set of quotes!

Link: https://m.twitch.tv/videos/1155955572

—

00:32:05

Joe: This is our weekly paper craft stream. I’m joined today by ZombieCleo, who you can find at—

Cleo: Hiiiiiiiiii!!!

Joe: — twitch.tv/zombiecleo. You don’t need to type the “hi” in the middle. Although it is adorable, and so I wouldn’t blame you.

—

00:56:25

Cleo (in response to someone saying they like Hershey’s chocolate): I mean you can like the chocolate. It’s ok to be wrong. It’s fine. You know, you can—

Joe: A certain amount of the other person being wrong is to be expected in any relationship.

Cleo: Yeah! Look at my relationship with you, Joe.

Joe: Yeah, I mean we’re— we’re off the charts for that.

—

01:01:15

Joe (changing into his chroma green tank top): We can’t have people seeing my torso.

Cleo: Oh you know, yeah you— you are a cryptid.

—

01:02:04

Joe (doing a face camera expansion): these chains I’ve forged in life are about to begin pulling me down to the deep below! Enter the Jhoooooooost!

Cleo: Can I just point out that “life” was very southern. At that point. (Heavy southern accent) Life.

Joe (heavy southern accent): Life.

Cleo: Laaaaaffe

Joe: Liiiiife *both laughing* These chains I’ve forged in—

Both: laaaaffe!!

Joe (heavy twang): Pullin’ me daaan to the deep behlooow!

—

01:07:16

Cleo (in response to Joe having a laughing fit): And that is one of the rare times where Joe has a complete, absolute giggle fit on stream

Joe (still laughing): Ok I’m sorry, but “puritans go home” is the best thing to put on anything worth— ok im gonna start making a— ok. (Serious) Im gonna start making an actual checklist cause, um, (actually writing down a checklist of things he’s taking to his parents for thanksgiving) ok thanks—giving twenty twenty—one. Ok so, salad cream.

Cleo: *wheezing*

Joe (reading list): “Puritans go Home” icing on pie…Um, you know let’s just throw iron brew in there. Why not! Irn-Bru and vodka!

Cleo (laughing): Sure! Why not!

Joe: Yeah. Well, so, my maternal grandmother was Scottish and—

Cleo: oh I’m sorry.

Joe: —so I think my mom would get a kick out of Irn-Bru. As like “oh! Here’s something from the old country!”

Cleo: *physically wheezing* from the old country!

—

01:29:43

Joe: Oh, it’s really fun. Did you know that a bunch of people on Tumblr care a lot about how tall each of us are?

Cleo: Yeah. Yeah.

Joe: Yeah, oh man I’ve been spreading information and taking weird height pictures with people at conventions for years. It’s like— *Cleo laughing* I’ll intentionally like stand on things or like, uh, or like stand in such a way that you can’t tell I’m crouching, so people are like “Ok, so Joe’s like taller than Bdubs but shorter than, uh, like— Stress or something. It’s like how does that happen?!” *trying not to laugh* Because I’m screwing with you.

—

01:31:11

Joe: See that’s the thing is— is sometimes people think things are about power. I think they’re just about being obnoxious.

Cleo: I mean, you think most things are about being obnoxious which is why it’s a power move for you. Cause being obnoxious is your power move. It’s where you’ve got the most power, Joe.

Joe: Hm, that makes sense.

Cleo: Sometimes I do. I try not to when I’m with you, because— it’s easier.

Joe: Yeah. You don’t wanna give me any actual like workab— or usable intelligence.

—

01:42:47

Joe (reading chat): I’ve been on Hermitcraft since season one— yeah. That was only like 10 years ago though.

Cleo: I’ve been on Hermitcraft since season 2.

Joe: Yay Cleo!

Cleo: Which was only because Joe asked me to come on, or pu— vouched for me.

Joe (genuine): Well I am glad you joined.

Cleo: I mean I was— I was at the point where I was just like “is this what I wanna do for the rest of my life? Should I just go full ham into teaching?” And, uh, then you made that offer and I thought “well, I’ll see how it goes”. And it did quite well for me. So…you know.

Joe (quietly): I am so glad

Cleo: You are the reason why I’m still doing Minecraft content.

—

01:44:19

Joe (reading chat): Attasked says “Only you can judge whether you’re hot” no plenty of people can tell I’m hot, Graved. It’s— pretty blatantly obvious. You don’t— you don’t have to be good at judging to be able to tell. Like, that’s not an only me thing.

—

02:00:54

Cleo: You ever have those moments where you’re just questioning your choices in life?

Joe: *having a breakdown* Moments!

Cleo: *cackling*

Joe (through tears): I’m sorry, you’re just the best Cleo.

Cleo: *laughing, but genuine* Awe, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to depress you today!

Joe: No it’s— *inaudible sobbing* Today—

Cleo: *dying*

Joe (quietly to himself): Is this is frame? Sorry, I was cutting this out of frame. My bad.

Cleo (still laughing): I like how everyone’s just sort of gone quiet and gone “…is Joe ok?”

Joe: nOO!!!

Cleo: We’ve established that Joe is not ok.

Joe: But I’m really good at it!

Cleo: *spitting out her drink*

—

01:49:52

Joe: Let’s go down the Mississippi, Cleo.

Cleo: I mean, that I think we could probably do. Let’s go down the Mississippi, Joe.

Joe: yay!

Cleo: On a flimsy raft.

Joe: Yeah, we can actually— there’s a lot nicer boats now though. Like—

Cleo: I mean— yeah, but do we— do— you know…it’s the Huckleberry Finn experience.

Joe: I mean, here’s the thing, is if you actually came here and I was like “Cleo, let’s go to the Mississippi River and go down the river a few miles”. I think you’d be more likely to actually say yes if I had an actual boat lined up than if I had a flimsy raft.

Cleo (excited): If it— if it— if it makes you feel better, I— I would do the flimsy raft. Like, hands down. It seems more fun.

Joe (realizing that she’s serious): I— you say that, but I don’t think you’ve seen the Mississippi River. Like, the problem is it’s full of these giant barges these days, the wakes of which would just throw your raft over.

Cleo (dead serious): I can swim.

Joe (attempting to compromise, completely lost as to how he has somehow managed to be the voice of reason): Ok…Alternatively we can go down a smaller river…In a raft…

—

02:04:43

Joe: Sorry, I’ll stop monologuing. Uh, but yeah sorry I was in the process of—

Cleo: I’LL STOP MONOLOGUING! Yeah, yeah that’s gonna happen.

Joe: yeah, I’ll- I’ll say I’m gonna stop monologuing and I’ll warn you that-

Cleo: And then he just continues

Joe: -that Cleo you should probably be ready to start talking sometime in the next 8-12 minutes.

—

02:15:26

Joe: Oh, I need to get a green screen suit jacket. Um, I realized. Cause I got the green screen, um, uh dress shirt. That I wear under existing suits, but I don’t have an actual like green screen suit.

Cleo: I— I am always amused by your definition of “need”

Joe: My definition of what?

Cleo: Need.

Joe: Need.

Cleo: I need a green suit.

Joe: Ok, I’m sorry Cleo, the people need me to get a green suit.

—

02:30:23

Cleo (reading chat): “Joe-Getters and Go-Getters” yeah, Joe’s not a Go-Getter, he’s a Joe-Getter. Which is infinitely worse.

Joe: You say being a Joe-Getter is infinitely worse, but you also frequently lament that you get me. So, maybe you’re a Joe-Getter. Have you considered that?

Cleo: I am a Joe-Getter. I do get you, Joe. Which is terrible. It’s— It’s a trauma, actually Joe, I’ll have you know.

Joe: Yeah, comprehend me and despair, Cleo.

Cleo: I looked too deep into the abyss. The Joe-byss, sorry.

Joe: Let’s just leave it at don’t push me off a roof. Like *laughing* I feel like anything I could add to that would undermine the overall theme of just encouraging people to not do that.

Cleo: Um, let me put it like this. I always had the capacity. Always. But! I never acted on it, Joe.

Joe: Mhm, yeah thank you.

Cleo: …yet…I’ll try not to.

Joe: Yeah. And— and also keep in mind Cleo, I mean, given, you know, how well we’ve managed to work together over the last decade. Even if you did push me or throw me off a roof. *grinning* What makes you think that you’re not coming with me?

Cleo (slightly proud): That felt like a threat. It felt like a threat. I’m not gonna lie.

Joe (through giggles): Yeah, that was the, like— I spent 90 seconds figuring out how to revise that so is it was not blatantly like a violent threat.

Cleo: I mean…yeah, I think— I think— I think between the tw— it— it’s a mutual aggression pact at this point.

Cleo (holding up seemingly two identical pictures of turret towers): Am I— am I going actually insane? Are they not…the same turret?

Joe (examining pages on screen): …y—you know there might be…subtle differences that, uh, a— you know, skilled crafts person would find unavoidably blatant. Um…I make no such claim Cleo.

Cleo: Good, because, you know…trauma…Yours, not mine.

Joe: Yeah, if you don’t calm down and agree with me.

Cleo: If you don’t agree with me, that’s— that’s your mistake.

Cleo (about authors): just be careful who you like and just recognize the faults in any media that you do like. Just don’t imagine that everything’s perfect, because it’s not. Just be open to the fact it’s not perfect.

Joe: The only perfect media is YouTube videos produced by ZombieCleo.

Cleo: Fact.

(Having finished her model)

Cleo (tiredly): No booshes. No booshes. I know it’s got places for booshes, but I don’t want to do booshes because…there’s a limit.

Joe (currently in the United States): Yeah. Well, now you can come over here and help me Cleo, is what chat’s saying.

Cleo: Ok.

Joe: Go help Joe hold this stuff he can’t glue.

Cleo (Currently in England): Hang on, hang on. *rummaging on desk* What do you need? I’ve got lots of things, what do you need?
