#WHY DO PEOPLE HATE THIS CONCEPT SO MUCH????

There's something about Mahito hate that makes people forget any fandom etiquette they might've ever known. First there's someone telling Mahito/Junpei shippers to die, tagging every possible version of this ship and spamming the tags, simply because a post of that ship appeared on their For You page. No shipper even interacted with them. The algorithm just showed them a post they didn't like and they thought the reasonable response here is to wish for people to die because they have other taste in media. I'm not invested in that ship either, but then just blog the ship tag if it bothers you so much and move on? The fuck is wrong with these people and why do they think they look better here than the ones just minding their own business. That post was clearly not meant for you. You will have to deal with the fact that you'll see people with different interest on the internet.
And now you have again someone who not only reposts art without credit, but then shits on the artist because they drew Mahito happy and with flowers. Which is apparently bad because Mahito is a bad person and therefore you can only depict him with blood and guts I guess (except that's problematic) and anyone who depicts him as "cute" or whatever must not know who he actually is. They don't seem to understand the fundamental concept of what a "fan" is.
Villain fans and people who ship unhealthy stuff exist and have existed for a while. I don't know why people have such trouble wrapping their head around it when Mahito is involved. Nobody is saying you have to like him or any kind of ship, but then just block/mute what you don't like and move on? Just let people do their own thing? Not everything is gonna cater to you. It's not like anyone is getting hurt, so who cares what character someone likes.

Park Jimin.
One of the greatest names in South Korea. One of the greatest names in the world actually. His face was on everything. Street signs, billboards, cars, even school lunch pails.
He was a prodigy. A genius. Although his parents were successful, he needed no help from them. He owned car dealerships, clothing brands, shoe stores, etc. Anything you could name, he owned 3 of it.
All at age 28.
No children, no spouse. All of his achievements done single-handedly.
How did he become so successful? We'll never know. He's a very a secretive man.
Although there is not much known about him, he is the definition of "the female gaze."
He is an incredibly handsome man. He trends daily for his sharp jawline, his beautifully carved lips, and his beautiful siren like eyes.
He could charm any man or woman with his looks alone. His voice was like a pied piper, seducing anyone who listened.
Park Jimin was a mystery.
༊—
Yoo Jangmi.
CEO of YooMi Beauty. The title coming from her surname and her first name.
YooMi Beauty was an incredibly  popular beauty brand ranging from makeup all the way to high toothbrushes.
YooMi Beauty had makeup, jewelry, women's clothes, men's clothes, heels, maternity wear, children's clothes, even kitchen wear.
Everyone was wearing YooMi. Custom designs from Ms. Jangmi herself. She was a self made entrepreneur who turned her small business into an empire.
She was an inspiration to many women. Being an independent woman and making a name for herself all on her own, many people looked up to her.
Unlike Park Jimin, Jangmi was very interactive with interviews and customers who supported her. She admired every bit of feedback she received and was very transparent.
It was no secret that Park Jimin was her rival, and with her coming out with a new car accessory line, she knew there would be talk.
He owned a lot of different branches similar to her, so the two were constantly competing against one another.
Tonight they were both invited to a gathering at a casino in Las Vegas hosted by one of his competitors, Yoo Kihyun.
Jangmi's brother.
Jimin wore a more business casual outfit. Since it was being hosted by Kihyun, he could care less how he really looked. No one there would peak his interest enough to really make him want to stand out.
"Nice to see you, Park. Champagne?" Kihyun offered.
"Don't mind if I do." He answered, watching the bartender pour them a drink. "Surprised you invited me. Especially after I made your sales plummet last spring." He smirked.
"Surprised you remembered." Kihyun chuckled lowly, taking a sip of his drink.
"How could I not? I'm making it a marker of my many successes." Jimin thanked the bartender, turning back to Kihyun.
"You enjoy your night, Park. Do contact me if you need anything else." Kihyun and Jimin waved their goodbyes as Kihyun went to greet other guests.
Jimin held his chin high as he drank alone. At gatherings like these, he didn't talk to many other business owners.
Not to his surprise, he was viewed as a very arrogant man. Which he was, in moderation.
He wasn't a total dick, at least he'd say so. But he definitely was a sassy man. He was a bittersweet person.
"Sitting alone like always." A low female voice was heard behind him. "Get me something with vodka and strawberries." She ordered to the bartender, taking a seat beside Jimin.
"Ms. Yoo." He turned to her. "How lovely is it to see you tonight. Alone." He mimicked her. "You order your drinks like a toddler."
Tonight she was wearing a lilac maxi dress, sparkles reflecting off the many games and neon lights around them. Her hair was long, jet black and parted to the side.
"At least I'm not drinking boring champagne. Don't you like to try new things?"
He shook his head. "Nope. You can never go wrong with champagne. You already know what to expect."
She rolled her eyes. "Yeah. I can expect to be face deep hurling over the casino toilet."
"How ladylike." He fake smiled. "No wonder you're alone too."
"I actually chose to come alone, Mr. Park. You have no choice." She thanked the bartender as he slid her drink over to her. "Be a doll and pay for my drink?"
"As if." He scoffed. "Why should I do that?"
"Because I'll be the only woman you've bought a drink for since you've been able to purchase alcohol." She fake smiled back to him, taking a sip.
Friendly fire is what their relationship would be described as.
They could be civil with one another yes, but they had every reason to not be.
They were in constant competition. Who could sell more in a certain amount of time. Who could please their consumers more than the other.
She couldn't stand him. He couldn't stand her. Every little thing the other did, set them off.
What made it worse was they were neighbors.
Jangmi and her brother looked so alike. The evil smirk they shared ticked Jimin off.
One thing Jimin and Jangmi both agreed on, was their rivalry against Kihyun.
Kihyun and Jangmi were siblings, but he was also her competitor.
He was shady, a cheat. He used his looks to his advantage when it came to business. He lied to a lot of his consumers and he often made false promises to them.
Although there were a few instances where he was exposed for his doings, he easily paid off reporters for their silence.
He overshadowed brands that had actual good value. Honest brands. Such as YooMi and Park Enterprises.
No one with a high power dared to ever challenge Kihyun, knowing damn well he could crush them instantly. So many remain silent.
"Aren't you just peachy to be around." He fake swooned. "Go hang out with your brother. I miss the silence before you got here."
"You know damn well that's not going to happen. I'd rather sit and drink with you than talk to that idiot." She took another sip.
"Don't tell me you like me Ms. Yoo— Awe! I'm flattered." He put his hand on his heart. "You have a boyfriend, but I'd understand why you'd want me more."
"You fucking wish. You'd have to pay me to like someone like you." She shook her head. "Especially more than him."
"I don't know. That's how they all start out. Pretty soon you'll want to sleep with me when you become a married woman. That's how captivating I am." He winked at her.
Jangmi almost gagged. "Captivating or cocky? Either way I'm going to be sick."
"I think you mean lovesick." He corrected her.
"Alright enough of that." She downed her drink, placing the empty glass on the table. "Thanks for the drink. Goodnight Park." She waved before exiting the bar.
"Goodnight Ms. Yoo." He bid his goodbyes, watching her as she walked off. He looked down at his aching lower region once she was completely out of his sight. “Shit— Am I hard?”
༊—
"Finally." Jangmi threw herself on her couch.
"How was it? How was he?" Jangmi's best friend Yeri came out of the kitchen, a bowl of oatmeal in her hands.
Yeri and Jangmi had been best friends since the age of 8 years old. The two were almost like sisters. They did absolutely everything together and they knew everything about each other.
Yeri knew the code to Jangmi's penthouse, so she'd go in and out as she pleased if she didn't see her boyfriends car in the driveway. She only lived a few buildings down but according to her Jangmi's home felt "comforting"
"You ask me that every time. Just apply at his office or something." Jangmi replied, face down into the pillow.
"You know it's not that simple!" Yeri whined. "My dads money can only do so much for me." She pouted.
"Work for it." Jangmi suggested.
"I'd rather die. Hey! Do you think Kihyun might want to—"
"I'm going to stop you right there! My brother is off limits!" Jangmi shot up from her couch.
"Are you jet lagged or something?! I meant offer me a modeling gig! You didn't let me finish." Yeri rolled her eyes.
"Thank goodness. I almost died." Jangmi laid back on the couch. "I don't get why you even think he's cute. He's a cocky bastard."
"You don't see the vision Jangmi. Jimin may not have the best personality, but you've got to admit he's very handsome."
"You call him Jimin like you guys are close." Jangmi brought out her phone. "Look, I have to run to his office anyways for a pick up tomorrow. You can say you're one of my assistants and take my place."
"Are you serious?!" Yeri gasped.
She nodded.
Yeri set down the oatmeal and ran to her best friend. She gave her a huge hug, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She squeezed her.
"Don't make me regret this." Jangmi grumbled.
༊—
Lee Minhyuk, Jangmi's boyfriend of over a year.
The man was about 179cm and just a year younger than Jangmi herself. She didn't usually go for the younger ones but this one specifically caught her eye.
Their relationship was very public. Everyone knew about him.
He wouldn't shut up about her. Although he hasn't nearly as famous as she was, whenever he'd be interviewed or featured on television he'd always manage to bring her up.
Jangmi this. Jangmi that.
He was a romantic too. Surprise roses here and there, dates outside the office.
His world revolved around her, as she was what he gloated about the most.
The media adored him, waiting daily for the man to pop the question, "Will you marry me?"
He originally was one of her Kihyun's business partners, so they met through him.
She'd say it was love at first sight the way they instantly connected after some simple phrases back and fourth.
Their relationship seemed so perfect. Barely any fighting or bickering between the couple. They were on the same page about their futures and they could communicate well.
Their relationship was perfect. As in it used to be. Out of nowhere, Minhyuk turned away from her. Pretty early on too.
Fights between the two would break out often. He'd leave and disappear for days on end. Weeks even.
She couldn't pinpoint where exactly they went wrong. She was nothing but devoted to him and treated him with nothing but respect.
He was controlling. Didn't like her daily habits. Didn't like how she ate and how she dressed.
His boasting about her was usually about her physical appearance. It was appreciated but she just wished he'd bring up something that wasn't about her face or her body.
They could be just a bit more intimate, thought Jangmi. At least towards her. They had sex often but, it didn't go down in the way she'd like to.
Often when it would come to them 'getting it on' it would only end up benefiting Min-hyuk.
"I don't want to try anything new." Minhyuk would argue, leaving a frustrated Jangmi to finish herself off later when she was left alone.
Eventually she stopped fighting it, seeing that she wasn't going to win anyway after time and time again of her trying to explain.
Maybe it's just an obstacle they'd have to overcome in the future, all couples have something they need to work on.
For Min-hyuk, the main obstacle in their relationship was her not wanting to settle down.
She didn't want to be married just yet. The girl loved to party, loved to travel. She was a drinker and she loved to explore and feel free.
She loved looking pretty. Dressing up. One of the main reasons she started her business.
Daily she'd wear makeup and "girly" outfits. She was a very feminine woman who couldn't stand looking overly simple.
Here and there she'd like to expose skin. Nothing drastic but she loved to feel comfortable in her body. She went to the gym daily. She didn't work hard just to not show it off.
Her looks weren't for anyone's gaze. Just for her and her only.
Minhyuk wanted to domesticate her already. Make her the perfect housewife and give birth to their many children. Combine their companies.
He didn't like that she loved to party. He hated that all she wanted to do was try new things and travel.
Do not get him started on her outfits. How could such a woman show off so much?
He didn't understand any of it. He loved her but at some point shouldn't she stop?
"Don't you think you're getting a bit old to be wearing outfits like that?" He asked, leaning against the doorframe
Jangmi wore a simple floral pattern dress. It was long sleeved and flowy at the bottom.
She never wore flats but today she decided to. She dressed so plain today. For once she didn't dress for herself but she dressed for him today. Her outfit was the exact opposite of what she usually wore.
It was one of of the most modest outfits she owned.
"Considering I'm still in my twenties I don't think so at all." She laughed.
"Late twenties might I add." He folded his arms. "Shouldn't you be thinking about your future just a bit more?"
"Uh I think about my future every damn day. You forget I run an entire empire." She scoffed.
"I'm just trying to help you out Jangmi. Nows the age to start thinking just a bit more about the future of us. I want kids. A marriage." He held onto her waist.
"I don't understand why my outfit is stopping us from achieving that." Jangmi tilted her head.
"Just forget it." Minhyuk sighed, a sad expression settling on his face.
"Wait— I'll change." Jangmi exhaled.
She just wanted the best for the two. Minhyuk was all she knew, so she couldn't just give up on him.
Minhyuk's pout turned into a smile instantly. "Thanks Jangmi! I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled, heading back up the stairs.
༊—
"Breathe Yeri. Breathe." Yeri calmed herself down before entering the elevator of Park Enterprises.
She was really there in the building. After using Jangmi as an excuse to see Park Jimin up close and in person, she was finally able to do it.
The smoking hot man she had seen on so many billboards and TV screens she was finally going to see in person.
She was filthy rich and her dad could get her to meet anyone she wanted but for some reason, Jimin wasn't within reach.
He was a busy man who was always traveling. And unlike an idol, he couldn't just do meet and greets.
I guess you could say she was a bit of a fan girl.
The elevators made a "ding" noise as soon as she reached the top floor.
"Okay. You just put them on the desk and leave. Easy." She reminded herself as the elevator doors opened.
Before her plans could be fulfilled, she slammed right into someone.
"Ow!" She winced as she immediately dropped to the floor.
"Oh my goodness— Are you okay?!" The man immediately stooped down and helped her up from the ground.
"Y-Yeah." She struggled to get back on her feet.
"I'm so sorry!" He bowed to her before the two made eye contact.
Damn.
'Who is he?' Yeri thought.
Little did she know he was thinking that same thing.
The two simply stared at each other for a few seconds.
She felt as if she was in some kind of drama. When she looked at him it was like cherry blossoms and lovey dovey music played in the background.
Forget Jimin. She needed this one.
"Are you here to see Mr. Park?" He asked her as he pressed on the elevator button.
She nodded.
"He's not in his office at the moment but I can take those. You're from YooMi. Correct?" He asked her as he took the files from her hand.
She nodded once more.
Damnit, why can't you speak? Yeri thought to herself. No way she was this pathetic in front of him.
"I'm sorry if I've frightened you. I'm Mr. Park's secretary." He bowed to her, her bowing back. "And you are?"
"Ah— I'm Ms. Yoo's assistant."
"You must be new. I know all of Ms. Yoo's assistants." He adjusted his glasses.
"I'm still in training unfortunately. She's just having me run some errands." She explained before the elevator came to a stop.
"I wish you luck. I know she's a pretty tough woman. But this is my stop. Sorry again." He waved goodby before getting off the elevator.
"I need him." She mumbled to herself after waving goodbye to Mr. Park's assistant.
༊—
"Jangmi, please."
"For the last time. Hell no! What are you even on about?! You didn't want a job period now all of a sudden you want to work for me? You're out of your mind." Jangmi walked past the pleading girl.
"I'm so desperate here Jangmi. Can't you find it in your heart to—"
"No." She shook her head. "Not until you explain to me what the hell you're doing this for."
Yeri had spent the last few hours researching Jimin's secretary.
There were images and videos but there were no names. Nothing to work with at all.
She needed to see him again. He introduced himself as Jimin's secretary but didn't even give her his work name. Did he not want to tell her? Was he secretive? What kind of person wouldn't even say their own name?
She figured since Jangmi and Jimin hated each other, she had to know.
"What's his name? Jimin's secretary." Yeri asked.
"Ohhh. That's what this is for." Jangmi smirked. "Finally seen Secretary Sexy up close."
"Don't ever call him that again." Yeri gagged. "That was hard to even hear."
"Whatever. It could be worse, I could like Mr. Park's secretary."
"You don't get it! Jangmi you just had to be there. He was so tall. His shoulders— Oh don't get me started. And he's polite! When we locked eyes it's like..." She trailed off. "Love at first sight!"
Jangmi simply stared at the girl for a moment. Then burst out laughing. "Whew Yeri!" She threw herself on the couch. "You can not be serious!"
"It's not funny!" Yeri began to throw a fit, stomping her feet. "It's like the whole world literally stopped for us! Music started playing and the colors in the elevator became so vibrant like in the movies!"
"The elevator is literally silver and brown!" Jangmi laughed. "Girl he's cute but not that cute!"
"You're childish." She mumbled. "You're just jealous because you're in a generic relationship. You're not in a drama like me okay!"
"And what am I supposed to be in if you're a drama?"
"Those really boring slow silent historical films that only old people watch!" Yeri immaturely pointed at her.
"Well that was just rude. But I guess that's what love at first sight does to you." Jangmi giggled, causing Yeri to huff. "Okay okay that was the last one!"
"Just tell me his name. Oh my gosh- Do you have his number?!" She jumped on the couch.
"How close do you think I am to Mr. Park?!" She exclaimed.
"I have an idea!" Yeri shot up onto her feet.
"Let's hear it." She sighed.
"Buy him."
Jangmi rose an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
Yeri smirked. "There must be a reason Park Enterprises runs so well. The secretary. We buy the secretary we buy all of his secrets. Poor guy was overworked. I don't even think he has his own office. Let's march down there and let's buy his secretary!"
"That's..." Jangmi exhaled. "The stupidest idea I've ever heard of. And you just talked about love at first sight. You're an actual idiot."
Yeri whined. "Come on! It's a good idea. Don't you want to know his secrets?"
"As much as I do not like Mr. Park, you're not thinking about this logically. His secretary is bound by his contact. Equally meaning he can not say a damn thing about the Park name. We have no idea what kind of contract he even signed." She took her hair out of her ponytail.
"And to be honest. I don't care about that secretary enough to hire him. I'm not wasting my precious time on some crush that may be loyal to his company." Jangmi shook her head.
"So that's it? Me and him are through?" Yeri dramatically stuffed her face in the pillow. "I thought money could fix everything!"
"You should know very well by now it does not. At all." Jangmi rolled her eyes. Hearing how distraught her best friend was, she caved in.
"His name is Jeon Jungkook. Do you want to go drink and get BBQ?" She asked her.
༊—
"She's perfect isn't she? Beautiful face and a beautiful body. What more could a man want?" Minhyuk boasted in front of the press, arm wrapped around Jangmi's waist.
Tonight they were attending a fashion show in Seoul. The main models were wearing various designs by YooMi and Jangmi couldn't be more proud.
She hand picked the models herself years ago and now with their experience, they'll be walking their first runway.
YooMi wasn't the only brand making an appearance that night.
Park Jimin was only a few feet beside them, waving to the press.
Surprisingly he wasn't alone, but not in the way you'd think.
Secretary Jeon was beside him, answering some questions for Jimin.
It was a bit surprising considering he never really spoke up, so they got a bit more attention than usual.
She paid no attention to them, focusing on the interview in front of her.
"I'm sure he loves my persona too." Jangmi added on, laughing.
Once the interview was wrapped up, Jangmi and Minhyuk made their way to their seats after going through security.
Jangmi happily checked out the area, the room being set up perfectly as she envisioned it.
"This is going to be so good!" The girl rubbed her hands together in excitement.
"Yeah." Minhyuk mumbled, feeling unsteady.
Truth be told the guy didn't want to be here at all. If it was up to him he'd be at home with a cold beer and a porn website.
The show started once everyone took their seats, and Jangmi didn't take her eyes off the runway.
༊—
"Oh my gosh!" Jangmi clapped loudly. "Beautiful! That was so amazing! My girls and boys did so amazing! I'm so proud."
"Yup." Minhyuk looked around. "Do you think the open bar is still available?"
"What's your problem?" She questioned him.
He'd been aching to go since the interview. What could've possibly made him this uneasy?
"You can tell me Minhyuk."
"Earlier. Why did you have to say that?" Minhyuk turned to her.
She looked at him. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm sure he loves my persona too" He mimicked her. "Don't you think that kind of makes me sound like a dick? You should've been more considerate."
"Well I mean all you've done is talk about my looks all night. It was just a harmless joke so relax." She fanned herself.
"I don't need your shit right before a show." He crossed his arms, anger slightly rising.
"You act like it's your brand who's modeling. We came here for me." She scoffed.
"Whatever. It was a shit show anyway. The clothing you submitted wasn't good for shit." He muttered out, clearly ticked off.
"Are you fucking serious? You're acting like a fucking child. If you want to be a dick right now then just fucking go. I have a ride home anyway." She rose her voice.
"Fine. Didn't want to be here anyway." He stood up from his seat and stomped off childishly.
Jangmi breathed out, fanning herself some more.
She needed to calm her nerves before anxiety rose or this wasn't going to end well.
"What's wrong with Captain Hothead?"
"Not now Park. I can not deal with you right now." Jimin eyed her. Analyzing her body language and emotional state.
He didn't see the entire situation go down, but he seen enough to where he could make a good assumption.
She looked stressed from their previous outburst at her boyfriend. Uneasy.
But damn did she look good.
Jangmi had on a steel blue suit with a corset top underneath, revealing some of her cleavage and her stomach piercing which matched the rest of the jewelry she had.
She paired the outfit with diamond jewelry and 4 inch platform heels.
Jimin couldn't help himself but to take a good look at her. Sure she was his rival. But it couldn't hurt to just take a peek.
"You clean up nice." He eyed her once more. "And so did your models. Not bad Ms. Yoo."
"Thank you Mr. Park." She stood up from her chair. "Did you come here to make fun of me because I caused a scene?"
"It's not a scene if no one cares." He smiled. "The world doesn't revolve around you Yoo."
"Whatever." Jangmi was about to push past him but he grabbed her wrist, stopping her.
"Let me take you home." He said suddenly, making her look up at him.
Oddly, Jimin couldn't help himself but sympathize for her. He knew well she didn't like to look vulnerable in front of him, but he wanted to stand before her with open arms.
"What?"
"You said you had a ride. I know for a fact he took the car you both came in. Let me drive you home, neighbor." He reached his hand out to her.
Honestly, she didn't have any other choice. She didn't like the guy but she knew for sure Yeri would be knocked out sleep and there's no one she could depend on to take her home.
Jimin lived right next door, so he's all she got. But why was he being so friendly to her?
"Alright."
༊—
Silent.
It was silent in the car. Who knew they'd be so awkward around each other.
There was small talk between the two in the beginning but it ended up dying down a lot sooner than they both anticipated.
She already thanked him many times for his offer, so not much could be said about that. Jimin didn't mind hearing the praise but she definitely could've said much more.
"You don't seem to shut up any other time. Why the silence now?"
She looked up from playing with her fingers. "I'd figure I'd be nice to you considering I would be stuck at the show without you."
"Always knew you'd need me one day." He chuckled.
"Arrogant."
"What was that?"
"You're arrogant." She repeated.
"You don't like that? All the ladies do."
She scoffed. "I'm not apart of of all the ladies then. And I have a boyfriend so you don't phase me."
"Some boyfriend you have. He's a bit of a boy don't you think? Kind of toddler-like." He raised his eyebrows as he pulled into the gated community they lived in.
"You don't know him. He just had a bad night that's all. It was my fault." She shifted in her seat. "It doesn't matter anyway it's none of your concern."
He chuckled as he pulled into his driveway, turning off the car. "Yeah you're right."
She unbuckled herself and picked up her purse from the floor of the car. "Anyway, thank you Mr. Park for taking me home."
"Anytime." He unbuckled himself.
The two waved their goodbyes and Jimin watched her enter her home safely.
He locked his car and entered in the code to his home before entering.
"It is my concern Ms. Yoo."
༊—
"I'm coming!" Jangmi raced down the staircase, making her way to the front door.
The girl had her pajamas on paired with her froggy slippers. She finished her hair and makeup already for the day 'just because' since she'd be staying home.
Yeri was asleep upstairs, and Jangmi knew damn well Minhyuk wouldn't talk to her first.
So who'd be ringing her doorbell so early in the morning?
Jangmi opened her front door, seeing the very last person she thought would be ringing her doorbell.
"Hey neighbor." The charming man leaned against the doorframe, one ankle crossed over the other.
"Uh hey." Jangmi stared at him, taken back. "Didn't think I'd see you this morning."
One thing about Jangmi, she always avoided eye contact with Jimin.
For him being dressed so casually, he didn't look bad at all.
Why am I checking him out? Shit. Jangmi wondered to herself.
Something about those siren eyes always threw her off. They made her feel distracted.
Was she seriously checking out the guy she couldn't stand in the least? When she had a boyfriend at that?
"I just wanted to check up on you after yesterday." He parted his lips, licking them.
"Like I said, it's none of your concern." She snapped out of his trance. "Why does it matter?"
Why was he still on about it?
"You're right. Can't help but stay curious I guess." He chuckled before his face turned serious. "Eat at my place for breakfast, Ms. Yoo."
Jangmi practically choked on air. "What? Don't you think that's kind of inappropriate?"
"I don't think it is at all. Two CEOs just grabbing a bite to eat." Jimin stuck his hands in his pockets. "Boyfriend won't let you out or what?"
Jangmi huffed. She'd be damned to have anyone think Minhyuk had some sort of power that determined what she'd be doing with her free time.
She was starving, and she knew well Yeri would not be awake in time for the local breakfast diner to be open by the time she woke up.
"Fine, let's go eat. Give me time to get ready."
"You look fine now. We're both in our pajamas and it's not like we're going out somewhere nice. Just my dining room." He smiled.
"Okay." She stepped out of her doorway, walking beside Jimin as they walked over to his home.

Kind of a rant with full offense but I genuinely despise all the hate Geeta gets as a champion. Yes her battle was a pushover. You have exactly 1 fire type which could totally be your token “overleveled starter” and she’s basically done for. But as a character? She’s not that bland— not from everyone else’s standpoints. Specifically the gym leaders.
First of all, everyone forgets she’s not even the final battle of the Victory Road storyline. Second of all, the fact that in the post game when you rematch all the gym leaders, many of them seem to react somewhat brashly thinking that you are Geeta (as far as I remember. Cause like. I think they’re supposed to have some sort of meeting I guess but Geeta sends you to take care of matters instead.) Many of them mention Geeta having a weird aura— a bewitching aura even (quote taken specifically from gym leader Tulip.) and she seems to rub a lot of the gym leaders the wrong way mentally. People seem to forget that she’s blatantly supposed to be a character shrouded in mystery but everyone and their mom wanna pin the blame on the rock flower she sends at the end of her battle for why she’s a bad champion. Y’all are focusing on the wrong material. Yes, her battle is pretty decently hyped and is a let down because yeah, she’s got a weird ass team and doesn’t use Kingambit or Glimmora’s ability the “right way” and that “Gamefreak doesn’t know how to make a good game” as if most of y’all weren’t crying at the mere concept of Arven’s whole motive for his storyline. Y’all ain’t slick.
Glimmora as her ace is genius. Not because of the battle standpoint— in that regard, it’s of course used very poorly considering it’s hazard setting gimmick. This is introducing the importance of this Pokémon and the lore of Paldea as a whole. Glimmet and Glimmora have something to do with the origins of Area Zero. The way it’s found in large abundances— the emphasis on the Pokémon in general in the endgame. It’s supposed to display it’s importance and not much else. Maybe even give way to whatever is going on in the DLC. It’s called “The Hidden Treasures Of Area Zero” for goodness sake! I firmly believe that when the DLCs come out, we will be getting some major answers to some questions. Why does she battle so carelessly? Why does she emit such a bewitching aura? Why is Nemona oblivious to this? Why is Geeta just… like that? What! Is! Geeta’s! Deal!?
Geeta is a character with so much opportunity for open speculation. She is a character we are supposed to be theorizing on. She’s a character we are supposed to be learning more about as time goes on.
But all y’all wanna focus on her easy ass battle. Hmph.

i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a binary i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a sliding scale of "less" to "more" i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the only two options i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as significantly different things i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as all encompassing i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the two halves of a shallow concept of love that doesn't actually encompass anything at all i think we need to overhaul every popular conception about "types" of love so we can talk about things that are real and true for once

I keep forgetting how annoying it is to watch a currently airing show with a large fanbase on tumblr. Stop tagging the ship name with silly complaints that make no sense. How is that fun for anyone who just wants to browse the tag in peace?
"Ugh Luke saying they're acting like a married couple is fanservice." A child? Saying a variation of 'Annabeth and Percy kissing in a tree, k i s s i n g' lmao please be serious. THEY ARE KIDS, teasing each other. Were y'all never teased when you hung out with another kid and your friends noticed y'all were looking a little too friendly? Oh brother.
"They're pushing Grover to the side in favor or percabeth :(" Huh? Did you read the books? Grover (i love) barely does much. If anything the show is giving him way more to do and say. The actor who plays Grover I genuinely think is the best actor out of the three, he's doing a very good job. Any Pan mention, the moment he found Ferdinand, all great scenes.
"It's not a slow burn! They're already too flirty." Once again, children. They have only hugged and even though I'm a lunatic that is reading into everything because I love percabeth... Not a damn thing came out of that hug lmao there was no nervousness, no 'how do I act around her/him now that I've hugged him oh no' type feelings. She was happy he was ALIVE. Simple.
Also the actual actors are finding their footings with each other as each episodes go by so there's a naturally progression happening both on and off screen. The actors also have said again and again they read all the books so they know their characters are endgame and probably are playing into that a bit. Maybe they don't even realize they're doing it because they were TWELVE at time of filming.
I wonder why so many people are so bothered by show-percabeth especially if they're fans of the books. This couple is the IT couple. They are hyped. Their story, what they do and go through for each other is legendary lmao so what exactly is the real issue? Do you not want parallels to happen? Seeds planted, sOME smiling??? Do you not want Annabeths found family brother who witnessed her shove Percy into the ocean just not mention he notices they seem to have gotten closer?
Very peculiar...

I honestly do not understand how people can be calm and enjoy driving. there's so many rules of the road and shit to pay attention to and possible distractions that can result in tragedy. it's mentally exhausting and unpredictable. if you make a mistake the best case scenario is someone honking, the worst is ending up dead or killing someone.

there is no fucking way that tom king's shitty oneshot, featuring the most out-of-character riddler known to man and a batman who breaks his no kill rule and waterboards people, got nominated for an eisner award...
#i hate the riddler issue of one bad day so much it's unreal#1. why write a riddler comic if you're gonna be like 'actually he HATES riddles and puzzles and won't be using them anymore'#now he's just some guy who kills people#2. i don't think i need to explain why i hate the concept of batman breaking the no kill rule or waterboarding people#3. trying to make the killing joke relevant again after 30 years? to say that ed was the mastermind behind it?#4. the plot is just. incredibly silly and not in a good way like you're telling me once the riddler stops using riddles he#becomes powerful enough to take over the entire city and batman can't do anything about it except kill him?#and i'm not talking taking over the city like in zero year where there was an actual plan#in one bad day everyone just gets sooo scared of him and his massive brain that they fall in line#5. that is not his fucking backstory#that's like. the complete opposite of it. keeping only the part about him having a shitty dad#he was never a prestigious prep school kid under immense pressure to be the smartest#he was just some kid who went unnoticed by everyone and that's why winning that puzzle contest was so important to him#and then his dad refused to believe he was smart enough to win the contest without cheating and you know the rest#he has a very ordinary backstory that explains a lot about him#meanwhile i feel like tom king was like 'oh shit this series is called one bad day'#'i need to give ed a pivotal moment in his life that made him fucked up and evil'#'how bout i write all this stuff leading up to him brutally killing his teacher at the age of like 15'#and it just sucked ass#i feel like there was more stuff i hated that i'm forgetting but i am not gonna re-read this comic to remember! at least the art was good#oopsie daisy these tags turned out to be much longer than i was expecting - i don't even care about the eisner awards i just saw the#category pop up on the library app that i use and i was like Why is This in here#ransom.txt

(re: your tags here)
do you know if any character has ever experienced "pit madness" in canon, or if it was completely fabricated by canon? (i know it's a thing on the cw shows, but i'm pretty sure the jason headcanons came before that)
OKAY it's been twelve years since you sent this, but I'm back to dc brain so let's go.
So if the question you're asking is if a character has ever experienced something that fits the common fanon applied to Jason--an effect referred to as "pit madness" that lasts for years after being dunked in a Lazarus Pit, causes sudden bouts of dissociative rage, and may or may not make eyes glow--the answer is a flat no.
But if the question is if characters have experienced any negative aftereffects of the pit, the answer is yes definitely!! If your story has something that can bring back the dead, it's gotta have drawbacks. (Though on occasion a character will avoid all drawbacks entirely.)
The Lazarus Pit is a magical plot device, so it has a range of effects depending on the story. But they can be divided into three categories, which map to three distinct narrative purposes:
Uncontrollable violence and anger right after being dunked, BUT!!! for minutes at most. A Lazarused not-Bruce gets dunked and then flies back to Gotham in Batman & Robin, and Damian explicitly says that he can't possibly still be under the effects of the pit because it would have long-since faded after an international flight. Cass goes through it in Batgirl, and is snapped out of it in like one minute. Dinah starts canary-crying her head off and nearly killing her friends in Birds of Prey, but she gets knocked out and is totally fine once she wakes up. (narrative usage: for heroes who will soon return to their status quo)
A long-term shift in personality towards, vaguely speaking, something more evil--but specifically after repeated exposure. Ra's's continual usage of the pit is on-and-off theorized as part of the reason he is the way he is. This effect might be referred to as madness by some characters, but, you know, not the angry type of "mad". (narrative usage: for villains)
Extreme awful fringe-effects, typically on bodies that were way too far gone for the pit to be a reliable method of resurrection. It's why Bruce was (at least?) once extremely against his parents being dropped in, because who knows what might have come out. Mr. Freeze used the pit for his wife in Batgirl and she came out a firey rage monster reanimating zombies. Sometimes bad shit happens. (narrative usage: for minor characters who will be quickly dispatched)
The overall outcome is that (a) characters are very nervous about using the pit, because there's a chance it might just turn its victim into a horrible twisted evil version of themself forever, and (b) when that doesn't happen, the victim is pretty much fine after a few minutes.
Just maybe don't make a habit of it.
Jason Todd Addendum: Contrary to popular fanon, Jason never even went through the first option! (Nor, obviously, the third.) He was one of the lucky ones to come out of the pit seemingly normal. The pit never gave him any anger! at all! ever! His anger is 100% homemade!
However, Talia in Lost Days notes he's disconcertingly cold and uncaring, which could be an indication he's experiencing option two despite only going in once--but that could just easily be explained by trauma. We'll never know for sure.

I have this yearning to drag the characters and ships I hate through the dirt on my blog, but I just... I have no energy to waste on drama. And, I know it feels vile, I'm not really on a crusade to hurt others.

Tumblr is the only bandom space I like at this point every other app has a stick up their ass. The fact that being a Petekey stan in 2023 is widely mocked, made fun of, and is controversial to like…

As much as one can draw comparisons to the Jewish Holocaust to what israel is doing to Palestinians, i still dont think its right to compare jews to nazis
Its wrong on many levels, from factually wrong, to morally wrong.
not only is it wrong in the way that israel doesnt speak for all jews, so if you were to make a comparison you would refer to israel as the nazis, not jews.
but overall calling the oppressed by the title of their oppressors in the way of 'jews are acting like nazis' doesnt get anything done. among other things
israel is fascist, israel is colonialist, israel is commiting genocide, israel is islamophobic, israel is antisimetic (in the common use of the term that refers to only jews). israel white supremacy. these all true statements
but jews are being the nazis is not. and not only does nothing to help anyone but hits at every jew, both palestinian-hating zionist israeli jews and every other jew
all its showing when you compare jews to nazis is that you dont understand the situation, the nuance, the history. you are using your anger to be antisimetic
what you can say instead is that israel is being islamophobic and commiting genocide. israel is terroising people. israel is occupying stolen land. israel is practicing white supremacy. israel is a fascist state, and brainwashes its citizens to subscribe to its fascist ideas.
Dont let whats happening make you hateful towards the wrong people, and dont makenit lose your ability to understand the complexity that is the israeli citizens upbringing
meaning, regadless of how we emotionally feel first about zionist israeli jews, logically we should recognize that there are ex-zionist israeli jews and that is worth something. that is worth pursing and fighting for, just like for ex-fascists of any kind
this does not mean forgive nor forget. this does not mean you cant feel anger or even hate
it means that you need to recognize what is actually important to focus on. learn nuance, learn complexity. learn to stop and pick apart what youre seeing and hearing and above all else lead with your love of Palestine and Palestinian people and remember that you should also love Jews
Because this is not Jews. Jews are not Nazis. Nazis are Nazis. Israel is not Nazis and Israel is not Jews.
And if you cant tell the difference and this just seems like im being redundant, then idk what to tell you. If youre not willing to consider you may be wrong about something like this and would rather die on the hill that jews are being nazis and that that is an accurate and appropriate comparison, a comparison that is so necessary that you need to say it outloud, then maybe youre more reactionary then you might realize.
#FreePalestine if it wasnt clear

I'm fatigued, my back hurts, I accidentally spent like 3 hours sat downstairs in a chair that made our back feel worse because our executive dysfunction prevented me getting up and going back upstairs even though I only went down there to get one thing, and now I really need to lay down but if I accidentally fall asleep again I feel like I'll wake up, realise I fell asleep and also that I feel like I wasted a big chunk of the day, and I'll end up feeling even worse again
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#vent post#posts made on pain meds#I went downstairs to get food but ended up having to wait longer than anticipated which is whatever#but then that meant I ended up sitting down and once we sit down it's like our brain stops being able to process that we can leave#I'll sit there the whole time going ''I need to get up and go back upstairs. I don't want to be sat here'' and just can't get up#I hate that this happens because while I know our executive dysfunction isn't our fault#and it's the exact same issue that stops us eating or drinking or going to the toilet or whatever when we need to#I still feel like I should be able to just get up and do the thing and just leave if I'm in a situation that I don't want to be in#and it's so hard to get other people to understand that I can't ''just leave'' because my brain just won't let that happen#like I want to but my brain won't register it as an actual thing I can do and it feels more like a weird abstract concept#than a thing I could actually do. it's like my brain can't connect the concept of the action to the act of doing it#and then I get frustrated because why can't I just do the thing that I know I should be able to do#and then I've spent hours not doing anything I meant to and mostly just feel like shit because of it and it keeps happening#and now I need to lay down and I know what's likely to happen if I do that#but I do need to listen to my body especially after getting stuck in a situation that makes our pain and fatigue worse#also we had to take pain meds earlier and that's definitely not helping with us feeling shit emotionally about all this#I hate having to navigate our brain and body just not functioning properly#I feel like we've had so little energy lately and it's reminding me too much of this time last year when we had that blood infection#I'm terrified of that happening again because we almost didn't get treatment because we started to assume it was just our new baseline#hmm apparently within like 5 minutes we've gone from ''ugh I wasted 3 hours'' to almost crying over medical trauma#I probably need to try and do something to calm us down but also I'm too tired to really do anything#which brings me right back to the issue that triggered this whole rant and me getting upset in the first place
