#it's because literally the only way it could work is if everyone involved agreed to keep it a secret

I've been reading a lot of conspiracy theories lately for fun and it's wild, sure, a glimpse into the mind of an insane person, but honestly it does kinda get boring after a while once you recognize all of the tropes
It's a real thing that happens and it was a fear for me at first but now? I genuinely don't get how "conspiracy reading for fun" could act as a pipeline to being a conspiracy theorist, like are you stupid?? Were you already susceptible to this brand of thought??? Literally all of these are either odd interpretations of economics, wishful thinking, reboots of antisemitism, or just plain regular bullshit, and like it's really easy to see that, like all of this is dumb, people who believe this are dumb, it's absurd
Fantastic fiction though, these could be good books or games or movies, and like that's what they are and that's their primary audience, people who want to pretend they're the protagonist of a movie, of a grand plot, every bad thing doesn't just happen or are perpetrated some random disturbed people! It's an organized movement at the top of everything responsible for every bad thing ever to keep us in line! It can be a kind of anti-religion in that sense, malevolent gods are better than none
There HAS to be gods at the top of it all, who put ridiculous references to themselves in everything and monolithically control the entire world, because if no one is in control, then that'd be terrifying
#paraphrasing Captain Disillusion and Lemon Demon Spirit Phone here lol#Qanon is definitely the most recent and the most movie of these#especially in its ridiculousness. if there's a deep state. why would the fucking PRESIDENT be our number one bulwark against them???#it's all insane bullshit lol#i also wanted to talk about how the Moon Landing can act as a gateway drug conspiracy theory but I didn't know how to bring it up 😔#it's because literally the only way it could work is if everyone involved agreed to keep it a secret#and one of those parties was the Soviet Union who would've had EVERYTHING TO GAIN by leaking that the US had faked the Moon Landing#also its a GOOD THING to recognize tropes actually!! thats how you can recognize bullshit when someone tries to sell it to you#which is becoming more common in the US now than ever for some reason#also also this isn't to say that conspiracies in all forms don't exist. they absolutely can (COINTELPRO comes to mind)#it's very easy for a group of evil people to exist and do secret evil things. this includes everything from the government to the mafia#but those are small scale though. and you're trying to tell me that folks can do that GLOBALLY??? for HUNDREDS of YEARS?????????#the US government can't even agree with itself all the time. and you mean to tell me that there's a united global cabal in control of all???#have you even SEEN the UN???? lmaooooooo#insert pearl steven universe quote here (you know the one)#bisonspeaks#conspiracy

☆ if she gets tired of socializing with everyone she puts in some earbuds and takes a nap
𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀
☆ packs a whole bag of snacks and homemade sweets for everyone
☆ checks pretty often if anyone wants to take a break at a rest stop and stretch their legs (she’s pretty jittery and doesn’t want to be the only one constantly asking to stop the car)
☆ also participates in the license plate game, but also likes to play the slug bug and yellow car game
☆ made the mistake of slug bugging katelyn and got punched back in the arm
☆ gets really addicted to cute cat games on her phone and accidentally spends a bunch of money on passes
☆ she brings some sort of craft or sketchbook for the trip. you notice she’s been quiet for a while before looking over and seeing she’s already crocheted half of a scarf and a hat

The list of regrets I totally have and am not just writing because Charlie is making me, Vagina Vaggie is glaring at me, and I want the free rent:
By Angel Dust, 3 time X-X-X award winner.

29. Trying to play poker with Husk (and not even strip poker!)
30. Testing if my venom works on myself (it doesn’t and now I have pink bite marks)
31. Leaving what I used to clean my bites out because somehow Alastor found them and is now TEMPORARILY PARALYZED AND I DONT WANT HIM TO KILL ME WHEN HE CAN MOVE AGAIN.

Hi I’m not sure if you take this type of requests and if you don’t you can just ignore it. Could you do Cassidy, Hanzo, Genji, Lifewaever and Mauga (not sure if you writ for him) comforting their s/o after they got rescued from being kidnapped. Can you also add that the s/o was pregnant but had a miscarriage due to the kidnapping? If you don’t want to add the last bit that’s fine.
Thank you. 😊

Tumblr media
Cassidy
Even before joining overwatch Cassidy was already a pretty wanted man due to him being part of the dead lock gang
And it never really changed when he joined overwatch
Though this time he wasn't a criminal but he was still in a dangerous field, but you always loved him because you've seen him in all the ways he loves you.
He was swooned when he met you.
One cheesy love story later, BOOM, you're preggers.
Whether you were a civilian or an agent, Cassidy WILL NOT let you get involved with his work while pregnant.
So he was absolutely distraught when he couldn't find you in you're shared home.
He walks through the door calling out for your name, ready to pamper you for the night, only to get no response.
Suddenly, he sees the signs of struggle. Knocked over furniture, thrown books, and just a general mess of your home
He is frantic.
Starts yelling your name, running around the house trying to look for you. "..Fuck..FuckfuckfuckfuckfuckFUCK"
After a few hours, they eventually locate you. They waste no time at all.
The plan was simple, (maybe even too simple), just get you out of there. Unharmed.
Cole, with worry and adrenaline as strong as ever, finds you tied to a chair. Crying, distraught, and bleeding.
Now you lay on the base's medic bay, face showing numbness as you learned the news of your baby.
Everyone had left after attempting to comfort you. All except for you lover.
He held your hand as he felt a familiar pain of loss, holding back tears, he just wanted to make sure you knew you weren't alone. And that he is so sorry.
"Darlin.. fuck.. I'm so sorry.. I was supposed to protect you. Our child.. it's my-- I'm so fucking sorry, love. Please.. please don't hate me."
Of course you didn't hate him. But too exhausted to speak, you brought his hand up to your cheek and weakly said "Just.. stay.."
"Darlin.. I will never leave your side."
Hanzo
Hanzo has been hiding in the shadows and constantly on the run for years. Alone. Until you, of course.
You offered to give him a place to stay after seeing him about to doze off sitting on a bench in the park
"No, it's fine. I'm just resting." He was literally about to pass out--
He had eventually opened up to you after much persistence and kindness, and grew incredibly fond of you.
To him, you brought him peace.
For a while, he tried to lessen contact with you as to avoid any conflicts with the people searching for him.
But he was conflicted when he found out you were pregnant. He did not want to leave your side but he also did not want to endanger you, especially in this state.
After some reassurance, he agreed to stay and take care of you.
He had hoped he would lay low enough that not only would he have to worry about your safety but also be able to be a present father to his child.
But when he came to your shared home and the door wide open, he fuckin lost it.
Frantically looking for you in your home, swearing all sorts in his home tongue didn't solve the issue.
He couldn't find you but he did find an envelope containing you're whereabouts.
They've been planning this for a while, how long were they watching him? Why did they only strike when you're health was so critical.
Hanzo was livid realizing this.
He headed to your location and found you tied to a chair, sac over your head, in a dimly lit warehouse
He knew it was a trap but ain't no way he would let anyone put a finger on you.
After being roughed up himself, (but ultimately beating the shit put of a of em) he took a look at you and saw the bruises, the scrapes
and the blood down there
he held you close, forever blaming himself for what happened
Genji
Genji and you met during your time in overwatch while they were in their prime
He was emo back then but you liked that,
And when he realized he liked you're unconditional admiration, he liked you too.
He didn't admit it of course, neither to himself nor to you but whatever.
Years later, Winston sends the recall.
And he was pleased to find out you had come back,
With a new mentality, a new acceptance of himself, and a more open acceptance of your love.
This time he made the first move, trying to act smooth like his pre-overwatch days, but his stuttering and nervousness gave it away though.
He was worried you'd remembered him as the angry and vengeful man he once was, but you saw who he was deep down
Which is the exact reason why he fell in love with you.
Eventually, after feeling a bit of morning sickness he urged you to go Mercy or Bap or anyone to help you get better.
Only for you to find out you're pregnant.
You stayed away from missions for a while as Genji requested, at most doing paperwork and helping a bit around the base.
But when the base was suddenly attacked, Genji pinned, yelling at you to stayed back.
You tuned out his pleads and gripped your weapon to help the father of your child.
And you did, but you were knocked out and taken away. He was too weak to reach you.
They immediately set out to rescue you, fully aware of your vulnerable state.
Though they had insisted for Genji to heal up first, through his broken visor, he shot them a glare that wouldn't stop him from saving his love.
After finding you in a cell, bruises all over in a weakened state, unconscious, he carried you back to the ship and held you close, eye getting watery.
You woke up in a hospital bed in the medbay, the first thing you notice being the ache your body feels, and the pain in your stomach.
Then, you notice your lover hold you close and tight.
Followed by the sorrowful looks of the doctors.
They left to give you two some space.
"I'm.. so sorry.. please.. forgive me.."
With tears in your eyes, you held each other close, never wanting to let go again.
Lifeweaver
You had worked alongside Lifeweaver in his development of biolight,
He loved having you at his side.
Soon he took you dates, brought you gifts and food, too show appreciation.
Not realizing he was indulging in his growing love for you.
After giving him some clarity of his feeling with a bold kiss, you two were inseparable, even more than before.
After you had missed you're period, you showed your lover the positive test and he way beyond joyful.
He always urged you to rest and didn't let you lift a finger. He didn't want you to be stressed or worried, he saw such beauty in you.
But those you wanted his biolight saw opportunity.
He was out buying food for you and his future baby but he came home to an open door, silence, thrown trinkets and portraits.
In his panic, he wondered whether or not he would need to contact his family. Or Satya. Or Baptiste. Anyone.
He received a video file on his desktop.
Asking for the acces to his biolight as well as the information to it's creation.
He was shaking, he wasn't strong enough to fight them on his own, he needed help. He needed you. Please come back to me.
He cannot wait any longer. He caved. Only for you. And for them.
He had sent all the information they needed. And as breathed heavily on his knees. He heard a vehicle arrive at his estate.
He hurried out, even almost tripping in the process, he needed to see you were okay, that you were both okay.
He saw you being lead to the front gate, and the abductors lackey walking back to their vehicle.
Giving him a face of no remorse.
As he held you in his arms once again, the look in your eyes had told him everything.
You two stayed there. Just feeling the comfort of what you two still had. Each other.

Wild Ass Theory - Who is the Second Killer?
@anotherblblog asked about the colors in Dead Friend Forever as a response to my Phi is Sus AF post where I listed the reasons I think Phi is in on the kills since they think White is sus too, but I cannot answer questions about White/colors because . . .
Who the fuck is this?!
Tumblr media
Freeze frame: Is this Tee?!
Tumblr media
Well, it sure isn't Non (Barcode) taking off the mask!
Tumblr media
In the original film the boys were shooting and the one played at the party, Non was the killer who unmasked himself.
Tumblr media
But apparently, Non wasn't the only one playing a killer.
Tumblr media
There were two killers.
Tumblr media
This is why we see Jin and Non running in the opening scene because they are being chased by the second killer in the film.
Tumblr media
So who is the second killer?
Tumblr media
Just like with the original film, the second killer isn't some magical ninth person, but someone already in the group, and in the recreated scene, there is a person missing.
Tumblr media
Tan!
Tumblr media
Tan and Phi didn't come into the friend group until 12th grade, and White is the baby of the group, so he was too young to hang out with the core friend group until he started dating Tee (way to already start pissing off Tee by holding his man's hand, Phi).
Tumblr media
So Phi, Tan, and White are new to all of this and weren't part of the original incident that happened in the 11th grade, but White is now playing Non's part in the film by running away from the masked killer with Jin. Yes? Yes!
Tumblr media
From the trailer, we got this scene. Phi, Tee, and Tan are all standing in a bloody room that has hanging signs stating "He Must Die" in Thai with a fourth person, who could either be White or Jin.
Tumblr media
And we got the scene of Phi keeping Jin quiet in a box as the killer lurks around them.
Tumblr media
So it seems like the final girl boy in the "He Must Die" scene is Jin and not White based on the jacket he is wearing, and
Tumblr media
Because Jin is the target.
Tumblr media
He is the main character.
Tumblr media
And he is about to leave. For. Ev. Er.
Tumblr media
Which is something Tan throws out when agreeing with Phi to reshoot the film.
Tumblr media
And White is the final push for Tee to agree to it.
Tumblr media
From the trailer, we know Non had feelings for Jin, and those feelings seemed mutual.
Tumblr media
But Tee is the worst.
Tumblr media
And somehow convinced everyone that Non was creepy and should be bullied.
Tumblr media
So if Jin was the main character and Tee was possibly the second killer and main bully, it makes sense why they would be saved for last since Non wrote this story,
Tumblr media
Yet Por, the first one attacked, is the one credited as writing it, so by reshooting it, the killers are going to correct the wrongs and follow the script the way Non originally wrote it.
Tumblr media
Which is why I thought White was the other killer since he is now playing Non's part and Phi asked Tan if he brought his inhaler while he was smoking, which seems like a quick way to kill him in the future, BUT . . .
Tumblr media
It doesn't seem like White was supposed to be on this trip in the first place. Tee brought him because he thought White "would be obedient" but he doesn't want White involved in what is happening, and it seems neither do the killers.
Tumblr media
When all hell broke loose, Phi went with Jin to look for a saw and sent White and Tan to call for help ensuring that Jin was under his watchful eye and that White and Tan, two people who weren't involved in the original incident, were out of the woods, literally and metaphorically. But Tan seemed surprised that White got the walkie talkie working, while White was confused because all he did was charge it.
Tumblr media
The conversation is odd in multiple ways but mostly because Tan is smiling the entire time knowing that their dear friend Por is still out in the woods with a tree limb sticking out of his stomach. But then again, Tan is closer to Phi than anyone else, which is why Jin told Phi to go have sex with Tan.
Tumblr media
Which is why I fully believe, after one whole episode, that Tan and Phi are just friends . . .
who plot murders together.

Hey, I love this blog, but it does feel a bit irresponsible to be sharing a video where a human is performing extremely dangerous and somewhat sketchy behaviors with wild animals. I went looking for info and could only find that tiktok and don't have the mental energy to parse through all of that to find out if that place is even legit (the way he handles interacting with the ostrich and bears make me doubt). And looking through the tags, the video is showing the false idea of domestication of wild creatures.
I just wanted to share my concerns since I don't usually see videos like this come across my dash unless they're being critiqued cause of who I choose to follow. :c
hi friend. This person works at some kind of animal sanctuary and is a trained professional. Also, if you actually listen to the video, he explains that he doesn’t interact with the animals (the brown bears) that he didn’t raise and doesn’t fully know and trust their behavior, because it is dangerous.
also the video literally has the text in it that says clearly “Do Not Attempt” because this man is a trained professional who works with wild animals for a living and is NOT encouraging people to treat wild animals as if they are domestic and safe to touch
the team is dedicated to posting responsible and ethical bear programming, and can be trusted to vet our posts. we do not require any additional assistance, thank you.
friends, we would like to take this time to gently point out that coming into someone’s asks with unsolicited ‘advice’ or ‘concerns’ about the way they run their blog is actually an etiquette no no and generally not something that’s in any way appreciated. We’ve been getting a fair few of these types of ‘helpful suggestion’ asks lately, and would like to remind people that this is not something the team particularly appreciates, especially when there isn’t a fully factual or correct basis. While your intentions may be harmless or well-meaning, it doesn’t mean that you should unsolicitedly share your opinions directly in people’s inbox and ask them to change the content they post on their blog.
this is not an indictment of this person or this ask, but a general reminder to everyone. and we shouldn’t have to specify, but unfortunately feel we must say that there is never permission to go harass anyone involved in this ask. If you don’t agree with something, just ignore it and move on. There will be no unkind words said on or in response to this post, friends.

We need to talk about the Archangel Michael.
No, seriously we NEED to talk about Michael because I think she's going to be way more important than we currently think.
(quick side note: I will be jumping between pronouns for everyone involved because I go by vibes and also bc I'm trans and I like doing it. Hopefully it won't be too confusing, but I'll try to make it clear who I am talking about.)
So! Welcome back to Alex's unhinged meta corner. In accordance with the usual essay rules, let's begin with my hypothesis before we go down a long, probably very unhinged spiral.
I completely underestimated how thorough I was going to be, so to not overwhelm everyone with a miles long post, I will be dividing this meta into parts and will post them as I finish them.
A lot of small details have been fluttering around my mind over the last few weeks, and I think I am finally starting to put all the pieces together—and there are a LOT.
Part 1: Season One and Michael's Rank
We know them as one of the three (four—but that's another post) Archangels next to Gabriel and Uriel. While Gabriel's title was that of the Supreme Archangel, Michael's is explicitly stated in episode one of season two as 'duty officer', which, broadly speaking, makes them the Watcher, the one in charge in the case of Gabriel's absence for whatever reason, taking command where he can't; usually that probably meant him simply being busy and not him being unemployed and naked.
Their position is further signified by their ring, which resembles the Ophanim, the many-eyed angel wheels.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are the one to keep a literal eye on things—they find pictures of Aziraphale and Crowley in S1 in the Observation Files, they watch over the heavenly hosts, they oversee plans, everything.
Michael even takes it a step further and (presumably created) the grapevine with hell, having direct contact to higher ranking demons such as Ligur, most likely also Dagon, and Beelzebub.
This is where we get to my theory: Michael is actively working with demons against both heaven and hell. It doesn't mean that they care about preserving earth, though they might later on, but that whatever plans heaven currently has are to be stopped.
I'm going to take this one step further and say that Michael also knew about Gabriel and Beelzebub, and helped him escape.
Now to the fun part: the evidence!
In season one, they are interested in stopping Crowley and Aziraphale from preventing the apocalypse, but that does not mean that they agree with the plans heaven has for said event—only that they need it to happen so their own agenda can stay on track. She has information she technically shouldn't, like, well, literally all the details about how, when, and what is going to go down
This is due to heaven and hell's general cooperation, which is its own post, but all of that runs through them.
Tumblr media
That 'apparently' is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, it's the basic and plausible deniability that's required for them to not be in trouble. She is also in charge of ORGANIZING the troops, fulfilling her role as a navigator.
Tumblr media
On top of that, the way she talks to Ligur highly mirrors the way two covert operatives might talk to one another, using phrases like 'our man' and 'working for you'. The mere assumption Michael makes here, that Aziraphale could be a spy, implies that there ARE already spies and angels working for hell.
Tumblr media
Consorting with the enemy is allowed as long as it is done within a very specific framework, so Michael and Ligur are free to do so, while Aziraphale and Crowley are working outside of it, which gives heaven & hell the basis to punish them for it.
I think the phrasing of this sentence is also quite interesting.
Tumblr media
Not "time to come back to heaven" or anything along the lines that takes Aziraphale's ethereal status into account, no, she simply says he needs to 'choose sides'—and who is to say that he needs to choose heaven or that heaven and hell are the only sides one can choose? Additionally, Michael is the one to bring the holy water to hell while they send one of the Erics, and while the trial as a whole holds a certain tension, there does not seem to be any open animosity between him and the dukes of hell.
In short, Michael is working with hell behind the scenes, likely pursuing their own goals, and standing in opposition to heaven.
Moving on to season two, and here it gets REALLY fun.
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5
(hopefully it will just be five. it was supposed to be two. then three. but here we are)

I can only hope the new Paris special won't force Marinette/ Toxinelle into the role of the "chaotic baddest bitch" for superficial praise and keeping Adrien/ Griffe Noire as nothing but her unconditional support again and the "good" one. Because literally from the way the powers of Ladybug and Chat Noir work that's bullshit and the MUCH weaker story premise character wise.
Toxinelle has no offensive powers. She can be as smart as she wants in this scenario her powers are needed for AFTER the Butterfly akumatized someone to save the city, so she can prevent said saving from happening.
Griffe Noire would be required to first nuke the city so the butterfly can react to something and that means alternative Adrien/ Griffe Noire would - the longer all that went on - have needed to let go of all morality he once had and agree to become the moster of the two so SHE can remain level headed and get the Butterfly from the hero.
That's still alot of pressure and burden on Toxinelle's shoulders, being the one who has to be the light at the end of the tunnel for both of them to get their happy ending in a better world. But for the love of God, Adrien throwing out his humanity and only holding onto her and his dead mother
If this is to be believed:
Tumblr media
Is ALOT worse and fitting as the conflict's heart piece.
I can only hope the special will be reasonable enough that Toxinelle will be the lesser evil of ShadyClaw and not waste so much story potential for another round of "Chloé the awful bitch". There is so much more interesting stuff you can do with Marinette than that, especially in the Toxinelle field.
Already as Ladybug Marinette showcases extremely dangerous anti-hero tendencies where she becomes so strategic that everyone involved stops being human beings or mattering in the moment because she needs to get something important done.
Most crucial examples are how Emilie Agreste's dead body was used as a mere inhuman tool by her in "Recreation" to defeat her insane husband, by cataclysming the lift and letting it crash down on Emilie to force Gabriel to stand still. Only though that Marinette then barely gave Gabriel enough time to throw the lift sideways and he only managed to save himself and Emilie from being crushed in the nick of time.
Or you know, all of Marinette's horrifying plan in "Destruction" that put several life in danger by sending Monarque to helpless civilians (even to ANNOY HIM) and Chat Noir was literally turned into a non-human object served on a silver plate to Monarque. He couldn't move an inch like a human is to be expected or even BREATH while Monarque went to grab for his throat while Marinette herself stood save and sound in the back because all she actually thought about in that plan were the Kwamis and herself (not even bringing up how fucked up it was to not even let Chat Noir know that her plan involves him having to possibly live with having cataclysmed a person.)
Everyone else MONARQUE had to keep save in her plan by not being the awful and sadistic monster they thought him to be. Tolerating all kinds of disrespectful bullshit and not using any Second chance or other miraculous powers besides voyage, or for the lols quartering Chat Noir's statue for example in a second's notice.
Marinette's plan in "Destruction" was horrifying and impossibly irresponsible in how she instinctively dehumanized everyone but herself and the Kwamis in it without noticing it and 100% relied on MONARQUE to be a decent and reasonable enough person underneath so she could get away with the insane endangerment and dehumanization of everyone but herself (especially Chat Noir).
Her final battle with Monarque had Marinette come back to this questionable morality when she pulled a low-blow anti hero move by dragging the dead spouse of the villain further into the fight, and risking to take any human dignity away from Emilie's remainings - who never wanted any of this being done in her name - by making it GABRIEL'S job to save and preserve her from Bug Noire.
Marinette 100% has some serious anti-hero tendencies in how she dehumanizes people sometimes as side-effect of her strategic mind and when she's either to caught up in her head or she thinks her goal justifies the means.
Jfc, quit the bullshit and let Toxinelle be the escalation of that side of Marinette because she and Adrien know their identities this time around - truly THEM against the world - and she's stuck in a position where Adrien was forced to let go of his humanity and other emotional attachments for their cause, is way too far gone by now and she has to make sure they actually win so all of this wasn't for nothing.
Give me a Marinette/ Toxinelle who made it out of her having been bullied alot worse and that's how she got into this, but by now she deep down fully regrets ever having started this and wished with every inch of her heart she could stop
but she knows she herself already hardly could live with herself after all this so she would never ask Adrien/ Griffe Noire to let go of the only hope he has at this point and live with the fact that he became an actual monster to preserve HER humanity, so she can save them both with the wish.
A Toxinelle who believes they already went too far to possibly go back and because of that she detaches herself from morality in the way it happened in "Recreation" with Emilie because in her (and Adrien's) mind they only have to win and everything will be okay again.
Adrien won't be a monster anymore and will return all together to the boy she once loved - and only still behaves like around Marinette or while thinking of his mother - and Paris, it's citizens, the entire world and THEMSELVES wont remember anymore what happened or that Toxinelle and Griffe Noire ever did any of this to them.
Give me TAHT Marinette/ Toxinelle please. For the love of GOD.

Remember that to Anti-Endos, Truth is Dangerous
Tumblr media
"Possibly becoming dangerous for them" in this case means "not being bigoted" and "not supporting hate" and "actually following the science."
The doctors aren't misinformed. They're following the consensus. They're following the ICD-11 that says you can have multiple "Distinct Personality States" without trauma. They're following the creators of the theory of structural dissociation that have said there may be other ways to have multiple self-conscious "dissociative parts of the personality." They're following dissociative specialist Colin Ross and many others who have affirmed the existence of endogenic plurality time and time and time again. They're following the book Transgender Mental Heath and the American Psychiatric Association that published it which says you can be plural without trauma.
And they're following the research into tulpamancers which involves literal brain scans, showing actual neurological evidence that this is a real psychological phenomenon.
The only people who are peddling misinformation are you.
This is where the anti-endo community is at right now, where they consider psychologists who follow science to be "dangerous" to them for disagreeing.
Tumblr media
They're not being abused though!
And the only reason this is negatively impacting anyone is because anti-endos keep trying to pick fights with their own therapists and convince their therapists how bad endogenic systems are. And the doctors just... aren't agreeing. They're not going to endorse your hate.
You can just drop it and move on!
Tumblr media
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: Endogenic systems exist in real life!
Some of us also need medical care!
And awareness of our existence and needs in the medical community is a an amazing thing.
So no. We're not going to stop until everyone, including your therapists, are aware of our existence.
I will never stop advocating for plural awareness as long as this body draw breath.
Tumblr media
Here we have the "these people who don't claim to have DID are making it more difficult on people with DID to be taken seriously" braindrain.
As if the people who are skeptical likely haven't even heard of endogenic plurality, and their skepticism isn't a response to the largely anti-endo TikTok sphere.
Like, the doctors in those screenshots seemed largely supportive of their patient's DID. They just also happened to be supportive of these other people anti-endos don't like.
Tumblr media
Except... they're not being harmed by their doctors, are they?
The doctors are just stating the truth, or sometimes even just avoiding stating their opinions but in ways that make it clear they side with endogenic systems.
Do you know what is actually harming these systems?
It's their own hate. Nothing more. Nothing less. So if I laugh at the "hurt" they experience, I'm laughing at the dramatic irony of it all.
These are people who are isolated and indoctrinated. They're convinced that these lies are "science" and fed a narrative that encourages them to hate fellow systems.
And the moment they encounter actual professional psych doctors and have to choose between believing their uneducated friends's claims about science and believing these doctors who have studied psychology for years of their lives... they choose hate.
And maybe it's wrong to laugh even at that dramatic irony.
Because this is serious, isn't it?
The truth is that hate is a poison. It damages your mental health. It damages your physical health. It destroys your relationships.
And in this case, the hate that blogs like antiendovents and anti-endo-haven are poisoning their followers with are causing friction between them and their own therapists. Therapists who they may have worked well and connected with before, even for years, but now this one issue is threatening to make them leave treatment that could help them.
If anti-endos can't stomach their therapists not being bigoted like they are, it's not the therapists who are harming them.
It's YOU.
It's your hate.
It's your poison infecting your friends.
All you do is harm the people you pretend to care about, and blame it on everyone else!
And I sincerely hope your so-called friends will find the strength to get away from you for their own good.

Humphrey bone one shots [scenarios]
a/n hey guys sorry if its not to great this is my first attempt at writing anything like this, just wanted to get it out there because of all the new Humphrey content in season 5, please critique me! no beta read we die like Julian here.
Tumblr media
friendship scenarios:
living friend scenarios :
when Humphrey was alive, he was pretty alone in the aspect of friends, the same went down in the afterlife, so when he round out that you could see ghosts he didn't expect much. just for you to ignore him like everyone else does and to get on with the rest of the ghosts. but when you started speaking to him, he was pleasantly surprised. at first he was a little awkward as he usually is but eventually when he got used to you he started opening up, telling you about his marriage and how he felt like everyone would ignore him all the time.
he really enjoys hearing about your traveling experiences and your school days, considering he had near to no experience of travel from when he was younger.
he LOVES to have some company wherever he is, usually when you two would beet and you would find his head on the floor of on the stairs, you'd lie down with him and you could talk to one another for hours.
dead friend scenarios:
when you first died, in all honesty he was quire annoyed, it meant that he would have to another person blatantly ignoring him. he didn't know much about you or your time at the house because of his 'immobility'. you were typically quite antisocial so when you did die, you were quickly scared by the other people in the house, you found comfort in Humphrey as he was the only one who didn't scare you in all honest, all robin would do is yell and Annie and Mary were pretty close friends already, it felt like Sunday school where everyone already had friends leaving you all alone. so when you found out that Humphrey was in the same situation as you, you quickly became good friends, though you had barely anything in common, you enjoyed speaking to him and listening to his stories, he really appreciated someone that was willing to chase down his body for him and carry his head around with you. it made him feel more involved rather than just 'gathering dust on a shelf'
though he did always worry about you passing on, he wouldn't know what to do with himself considering all of the other ghosts just passed him around [literally], so when Annie passed on it really made him realise how great full he was to have you as a friend
romantic scenarios:
I wont be doing any living head canons ATM but feel free to request if you like :)
you two had been friends for what one could consider a life time, or a deathtime. you had both bonded over you situations and your lack of other options, you found comfort in Humphrey, he as much nicer than any of the other ghosts you had ever met. you never had an official ' first date' and in he best way to describe it, it just kind of happened. there was never an official word. but one day both his head and his body agreed that the one thing they both agreed on would be you. though the remained separate on certain occasions, they finally began to work together over time. Humphrey was always very affectionate towards you, even when you were just friends, but now that he and his body agreed, hugs were one of his favourite thing, literally almost every other second he wanted a hug, or just just genuinely be close to one another and considering his lack of romantic affection in his life, he wasn't going to miss out in his death.
he adores for you to comb your hands through his hair and caress his face, this was also one of your favourites as it could be carried out when him and his body are disagreeing, initially you would watch a film with his head in your lap, finding your hands wandering to run through his hair as if they had a mind of their own. though when you found that he didn't mind you made a habit of it, combing his hair with your nails into a specific neat style considering how messy it got sometimes.
warning! mild nsfw content below the line (this is assuming that ghosts can indeed, have sex.) i wont go into detail just a little taste, feel free to request more on this behalf again ill do a sep story
when both of you had started dating, you didn't really think about sex being something that would get brought up considering your lack of living-ness. though with Julian's habits with the plague ghosts you both became very aware of the possibilities to say the least. it took years of awkwardness around the topic for it to get brought up. both of you had grown up in very private lives and sex outside of marriage was never something you would think of. though eventually you became curious about what it would be like, both of you being dead and all. and then it became all you could think of, how his hands would feel, the whole detachable head brought a wide range of filthy ideas into your head, fannys book reading gave you a bit of inspiration for that. Humphrey took longer to warm up to the idea than you did, him being married in his past life that is. though eventually his 'primal urges, would take over and he'd cave in to your desires. he was a major people pleaser. doing whatever you would like him to on command. he wouldn't even touch himself without your word.

you can tell you work in academia with how much patience you have for some of these asks...."I don't know what is and isn't true anymore" is such an indefensible cop out of a way to exist in the modern world. morally clean "Leftists" could at least have the decency to learn the history of the people and places they pretend to care about for internet points, but hey, it's way easier to take the Opressor Approved route and give into despair and recycle repurposed right wing propaganda like the TERF version of geopolitics. a lot of people need to ask themselves, if there were no internet asspats involved, would you actually still care?? anyway thank you for your patience and willingness to engage, you're a better person than me :')
So far as the other anon goes, they have apologized and taken responsibility that it was a dumb thing to do, I have accepted that apology, and I think that matter is now closed. And yes, I do actually appreciate (as discussed in many other posts and asks) that it is difficult to always and automatically find reliable information, that it has been made deliberately even more difficult to do so by various bad actors, and that this results in a big ol' Bad Take Sea even by people who are genuinely otherwise well-meaning or want to make a positive contribution. So I really do have sympathy for that. Perhaps the previous anon did not put that sentiment across in the best of ways, but as I said, we should all have a bit more grace in remembering that we are real people behind the computer/phone screen and are dealing with different stressful things, and therefore sometimes make mistakes and do or say things we don't mean. (You know, for those of us who aren't pornbots. Oh tumblr.)
Where you and I absolutely agree, however, is that just because it is sometimes difficult to acquire that information, or that systemic and deliberate barriers/misinformation has been put in place to increase the difficulty, it does not excuse people from the responsibility of doing so, especially if they want to put themselves in the position of being the Perfectly Correct Social Media Oracle who will judge and criticize everyone else's responses and act as if that has some real-world impact or is a real marker of someone's "personal morality." And there are for sure plenty of people who are doing that with literally no self-awareness or other critical tools, because as you say, they want the Internet Asspats for being seen as a "Good Person" according to a very narrow and limited definition. But they can't think about what that entails, how to challenge it or correct it, or otherwise apply it carefully, so, yeah.
As I said, I am generally willing to answer asks that are made in good faith and show a real willingness to learn, because (as noted and which is doubtless visible again here) I am an academic and I enjoy having these kinds of discussions. But this topic in particular, and modern social media in general, is really not made for it, and it's easy to get sucked down the Discourse Black Hole that doesn't do anything for anyone, and I try to avoid that. So I answer only when I think I can contribute something useful to the discussion, which results in those kinds of long and careful responses where I do always worry that I haven't said enough or said it the right way, especially with the bad-faith reading police eager to leap on any small misstatement or sentence taken out of context. That is of course a hazard of being a person on the Internet in 2024, and since I am still here and still answering questions generally, I have clearly decided to accept it. But I also don't have an obligation to respond to *everything,* and I don't. It is a fine line to walk and again, I am a middle-aged tired academic and ordinary person doing my best. I appreciate your support. :)

Anxiety.
Not that Cartman had much of a long attention span anyway, but Kyle was getting on his nerves. He interrupted him loudly, "Oh my god shut up." He said with a flat tone. "I saved your fucking life, Broflovski. You owe me a favour."
"I don't owe you shit." Kyle made a decent effort to suppress his anger. "What makes you think I owe you something?"
"Because you do." Cartman reflected on his question, giving it some serious thought. "Because I don't help people I don't care about. If I do, it's because I know they'd do the same for me. By definition, that's called loyalty."
Emotional blackmail, Kyle preferred to call it, seeing only bad intentions. "So what if they don't want it? Or they don't feel the same way? What then?"
Cartman narrowed his eyes. "You do feel the same way."
"No, I don't. I hate you." Kyle said.
A wicked smirk laid present on Cartman's lips. "You've got a fucked up way of showing it." He uttered and then got to his feet. He dropped the towel somewhere by the sink and forgot to turn the light off as he left the room. He went back to the bedroom. "Wendy, now that's someone you hate. You hate her so bad and it's so obvious to everyone but you."
"First of all, I don't hate her. Secondly, if it's so obvious, why hasn't Stan said anything to me?"
Cartman dropped his phone on the bed and could be heard muttering, you clearly don't know him, in the background.
"What did you say?" Kyle asked irritably.
"I said you clearly don't fucking know him then, do you?" Cartman's head popped in view and there was more gravel in his voice. "Jesus fucking Christ, listen. Stan doesn't care. Stan doesn't care about anything. How can you not see that already." He vanished to go back to doing what he was doing, which was walking around the glass and pondering what he should be doing it with. "Wendy's always been too good for him, I don't know why it took her so long to see it, in my humble opinion."
Kyle couldn't understand where this was coming from. "What the hell are you talking about? All you ever do is talk shit about her?"
"Well, yeah. Stan's my fucking friend, I'm obviously on his side. That's literally retarded. I think Wendy's a stupid bitch for what she did, but I get why she did it. Stan isn't aware of anything going on outside his own head, so it's his own fault. Maybe it'll teach him a lesson. Like, I get it. You're depressed. But can you at least make the fucking effort to listen to me talk about something? It's fucking rude and I think, what's the point. What is the point? Right? We both know it, just no-one says it."
It pained him to say it, but Kyle understood very well. "Right." He agreed quietly.
"Whenever this happens, you know what happens? Me and you sit back and let Kenny do all the work." It made Cartman feel good to finally confront his thoughts out loud. "And that's because you and I, we feel the same about it. We're built different."
"Is that what you really think?" Kyle asked him.
"Yeah, that's what I really think. You wanna know what else I think?"
"Go ahead." Kyle swallowed.
"I don't think you like it when other people are in relationships. I don't like it either. Everything is fucked up when there's a girl involved. Look at Wendy. Whenever she's around us, I have to watch what I say. Okay, she's hot. And she's smart, which are two reasons why I can tolerate her. You though? You don't tolerate her at all. You always deny it too, like why? Just own it. But you won't. Heh. That's a common trait of yours. Denial." Cartman snickered some more and then grabbed his phone to see Kyle's expression, which wasn't currently in view.
"Yeah, and you think about me way too much." Kyle said, just after clenching his jaw. "That's common trait of yours. Obsession." He reappeared on screen with an irritating grin on his face.
The brunette stared at it and didn't react. He studied Kyle's smile for a few seconds longer than he needed to. "At least I'm not in denial about it." He remarked, slowly grinning with him. Kyle couldn't hold his laugh and looked away when he did. This kind of reaction made Cartman a little happier. Kyle responded in the only way he knew how to, which included a few harmless insults and of course, refusing to accept that what Cartman was saying had some truth to it.

I'm still thinking about your characters and what their valentines day would look like currently where your story is so can I ask what everyone would be doing? I imagine Austin bringing flowers to Elaine and she loses it. Would Matt text Stevie? Mickaela and Dan pegging. Casper and Coco 👀????? Alisa messing with Jada. Stevie maybes annoying KD asking her what she's doing for v-day
omg i'm sorry my answer is so late 😭 if this were just a normal valentine's day and nothing life-threatening was happening to anyone, then what you said is exactly how everyone would be spending it ;-;
stevie annoying KD on valentine's day is sooooo true oh my god i can only imagine how insufferable she would be. she would bake a bunch of cookies and bring them into work like "here's a cookie for you! and here's a cookie for your...... partner? 🤨 and here's a cookie for your..... child? 👀 and here's a cookie for your..... other child? 🤔 just tell me when to stop. here's a cookie for your... dog? 🧐 here's a cookie for...."
coco is BOOKED for valentine's day. sorry to anyone who wishes they could make plans with her, she goes all out for this!! not even for monetary gain (it's actually a pretty slow day for sw), it's just always been her favorite holiday and she loves the decorations & outfits. although this would be the first time she's been 100% single since she was a teenager, so that would be tough, but that's all the more reason to throw herself into her work. casper is not part of this equation, he's going on a failed tinder date and making his mom sad because she was sure this would be the one sjkfjsd
definitely agree about austin buying elaine flowers, but really all elaine wants is a heartfelt card attached to them 🥺 she also organizes galentine's day (asa counts as an honorary gal) every year 💖
matt would fumble his way into some awkward misunderstanding with stevie, probably involving another goddamn stuffed animal fjskjfsd
jada would literally call off work on valentine's day. she is NOT emotionally prepared for whatever hell alisa would bestow upon her 😭 and since her dad is dating again she'd probably be alone but that's perfectly fine with her. a moment of peace is better than a valentine
finn would do something so sappy for valentine's day if here were here ughhhhh :( he'd have to step it up since he's already given asa flowers a few times and of course the unbeatable gift that was the antlers... the greatest gift asa could give to finn would be to chill the fuck out and not break the universe for one singular day lol
caroline starts getting cynical about love around valentine's day because so many people come into her shop asking for their bf/gfs name tattooed and she has to turn them away because she's not going to be complicit in bad decisions (DON'T ask her what tattoo she had covered up on her back 👿) but then she comes home and beth cooks dinner for her and lights one of their good candles and she believes in love again 😌
and we must not forget mikaela/danny pegging, as if they ever need a reason lmao. they're doing some convoluted roleplay that only they understand, making good use of their repertoire of spirit halloween costumes

Guardian of humanity
I love this image. Take a good look at it.
This is exactly who Aziraphale is.
Tumblr media
And this is why the Aziraphale hate annoys me so much. Look at him. The instant he realized just how much danger everyone was in, Aziraphale's first and immediate instinct is to protect the humans by acting as a shield between them and the demons outside.
Aziraphale was involved in the creation of humanity. We learn this when Aziraphale is talking to angel Crowley before the beginning of time.
Tumblr media
Aziraphale just witnessed Crowley create something beautiful, but when Aziraphale spoke of God's plan for the people, Crowley told him the plan was idiocy.
(And I'm in no way saying Crowley's disappointment and irritation wasn't valid because I would have been pissed too; the point is that this is the first time Crowley basically referred to Aziraphale as an idiot. I find it interesting that no one ever questions how Aziraphale feels every time Crowley insults his intelligence.)
Y'all, Aziraphale is like five seconds away from demanding an audience with God by the time we reach present day.
In season one, he wanted to try and speak to God about the Armageddon but could only get through to the Metatron because he is the Voice of God. The trouble is that Aziraphale is only going to trust the information if it comes directly from the source.
This is what Crowley said to Aziraphale when he told Crowley what he was going to try and do.
Tumblr media
And then imagine how he felt when his plan to reach God failed.
(Yes, I am aware that Crowley is reacting out of fear and desperation and wants to keep Aziraphale safe. Crowley loves Aziraphale, and he doesn't want to see anything bad ever happen to Aziraphale. Protecting Aziraphale is what Crowley does.)
Aziraphale and Crowley worked together to help save the world, which has put them in even more danger. They have a temporary solution, but as Beelzebub told Crowley, they could have put a price on his head any time they wanted to.
Aziraphale, who is an angel and a guardian, agrees to protect Jim (short for James, just forget about Gabriel) once he's able to compartmentalize and separate Jim from Gabriel.
He's scared of Gabriel too. He's agreeing to protect someone he knows tried to kill him because whatever has Gabriel (Jim) scared is suddenly more important than the fact that Gabriel hates him because Jim can't remember any of that. Jim is like a baby. New to the world and learning as he goes. Aziraphale has to separate Jim from Gabriel so he can cope with it.
Aziraphale has every reason in the universe to turn Gabriel away, but he doesn't. He is a protector. A guardian. It's why he's on Earth. If anyone would help protect Gabriel, it would be Aziraphale.
It's what he does.
The freedom Crowley and Aziraphale gained was all an illusion.
Tumblr media
And when the entire Illusion shattered, Aziraphale acted on instinct.
Tumblr media
He is protecting the very thing he took part in helping to create.
And like a protective mother bird, his wings arms are spread out wide.
People keep forgetting that Aziraphale loves humans. He loves the Earth. He loves all of God's creations. He is the protector. He is the guardian.
(And before someone points out, yet again, that he isn't protecting Crowley, just the humans, Aziraphale's a literal guardian angel. He's doing what he was put on Earth to do. Crowley is a demon, so if anyone can deal with the other demons easily enough, it's Crowley. He doesn't need Aziraphale to protect him. At this point, the demons can't even get into the shop.)
(And also, yeah, Crowley saves the humans. It's one of the millions of reasons Aziraphale believes that Crowley's fall was a mistake. He doesn't see how someone like Crowley could ever be considered evil in the first place.)
When all is said and done, he realizes his time is up when The Metatron has a talk with him.
He went from "I don't think it's our place to be suggesting that there should be a suggestion box" to "If I'm in charge, I can make a difference."
He wants to fix things. He wants to find God and figure out what the hell is going on.
Aziraphale just had to let go of the dream world he and Crowley had been living in. The one where he had been so close to finally confessing his love for Crowley.
But Heaven is fucked up beyond reason, Aziraphale really doesn't want to go, but he and Crowley are still in danger. And so are the humans.
If Gabriel and Beelzebub can find love, then so can everyone else. There doesn't need to be all this talk of war when it is clear that angels and demons are able to find happiness with each other. And humans. They can live for things other than destroying each other.
Aziraphale is trying to do good, but he doesn't realize that what he is telling Crowley is NOT what Crowley is hearing. They both want the same thing, but they aren't approaching it the same way.
Crowley calls him an idiot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then kisses him immediately after.
And Aziraphale is even more confused now. Because Crowley is mad at him. And he doesn't know why.
He doesn't have all the information.
And neither does Crowley.
He just knows that he still has to go to Heaven even though Crowley called him an idiot and kissed him and walked away from him.
Aziraphale is still a guardian and still has a job to do.
He wants to run away with Crowley, but they'll always have to hide, and it's unsustainable since Heaven is still trying to destroy everything.
He wants Crowley to go with him because he wants to keep him safe, but it's the one place Crowley will never follow Aziraphale.
Tumblr media
Aziraphale is walking into the jaws of a monster. He knows it.
He's heartbroken. He's angry. He's leaving the love of his life to go back to a place he doesn't want to be. He doesn't want to go. Crowley's offer is so tempting, but Aziraphale has to look at the bigger picture. He has to be the one in Heaven to stand up for Earth because no one else will. He was there when they were created, and he will fight to keep them safe. Even from Heaven.
Because this is who Aziraphale is.
Tumblr media
He's got shit to work out, but so does Crowley. It's not one-sided. Aziraphale is not the villain in this story. He risks his own life to protect someone who hates him. The desire to make him the bad guy is so baffling. He's doing what he believes is right, and it's costing him everything.

Lucifer X Reader, Mammon X Reader, Leviathan X Reader, Satan X Reader, Asmodeus X Reader, Beelzebub X Reader, Belphegor X Reader
Requested: Anon
Request: Can you do ‘married life’ headcannons with the obey me brothers?
Lucifer
📚 You are his biggest pride and joy, he literally uses your marital status as a way to tease anyone around him especially if he was amongst the first to get married. 📚 He’s always busy so he values the time that you spend together, even if you were just sitting in his office while he was working, you didn’t have to be helping him, you could be doing something else entirely but it was enough that you were there. 📚 You were the only other person that he trusted to look after his brothers when he was otherwise occupied. 📚 He’d talk to you about a lot of things and any stresses he had he’d talk to you about them and even run through solutions. 📚 Calls you sweetheart or darling usually, if he’s using your given name you’ve probably done something wrong and you should be thinking of a way to apologise. 📚 Literally throws the brothers out of the house on your anniversary so that you guys can celebrate uninterrupted (Solomon and Simeon dread that time of the years because they end up babysitting the man children) 📚 Arguments weren’t common but they did happen, given the fact that he could be quite prideful and possessive you clashed about things often. 📚 When you get sick he’ll make sure that you stay in your shared room so that he can make sure that you are actually resting and taking your medicine. He hates it when you're sick so he’ll do whatever he can to make sure that you get better in no time. 📚 If you think he’s bad when you get sick, you better hope that you never get hurt, no matter who happened to be involved the punishment will be the same (the only person that seemed to get away with it was Diavolo) 📚 You would be the person that people go to if they wanted to soften the blow of some bad news, they claimed that he was better at accepting it from him. 📚 He opens the door for you and carries things for you when you are together. 📚 While he does think that his brothers are all the childish antics that he needs he’s not against having kids. 📚 Probably the easiest to share a bed with… Well when he’s actually in it, adapts to you but will always have an arm wrapped around you. 📚 You guys are most like an old married couple, Lucifer is so careful with you, when people saw you together it was like you had been together your whole life and there was nothing that anyone could do to tear you apart.

Mammon
💳 Everyone thinks you an actual legend for tying down the most tsundere brother, literally no one knows how you did it. That's only because they didn’t see how caring he was when there was no one else around. 💳 You're the only person that Mammon would actually tell his real feelings to, when things with his brother got too much he’d find you bury his face in your neck and mumbled about how mean his brothers were. 💳 He’ll really appreciate it if you're probably his biggest defender, you always congratulate him on his achievements and thank him for all the small things he does. 💳 Always holding your hand, that way he can make sure that you're not in danger. 💳 The first person to speak up if someone says something about you that he doesn’t agree with, it will make himself the loudest person in the room just so that everyone is listening to what he is saying. 💳 Will come to you with a different get rich quick scheme every week, that’s probably the biggest cause of arguments between the two of you. 💳 People know when you're arguing because Mammon looks like a kicked puppy and often causes more trouble than usual. 💳 Everytime he did anything romantic he’d be blushing the whole time. 💳 You’ve spoken about kids on many occasions and he’d definitely be open to having them if you wanted them. 💳 Shopping sprees all the time, he’ll buy you anything that you want and if you're not someone who typically talks about things that you want, he watches to see if there’s anything that you move towards or spend a little longer looking at. 💳 Your anniversary plans solely depend on who planned it, because you will always do something else that the other will enjoy so sometimes you end up with Mammon at a casino somewhere or he’d take you on a nice night out. 💳 He’s clingy when he sleeps, he’ll wrap himself around you or lay across you depending on how you sleep. 💳 People will often tell you everything that they need to tell Mammon so he can’t claim that they never told him or that he didn’t know and any family plans are more likely to be honoured when you drag him to them. 💳 Don’t expect him to know what to do if you get sick, he’ll try his best but if he gets sick expect a whiny child who needs constant attention. 💳 You guys always seem like you are just married, you learn something new about each other or yourselves everyday, even his brothers had to admit that you just seemed unbelievably happy together.

Leviathan
🎮 Cutest otaku love story of the century but let's be honest you would have to put in all the work because he honestly doesn’t believe that he’s worth it. 🎮 You’ll probably have to instigate a lot of the loving gestures at first but he’ll reciprocate, forehead kisses and cuddles while gaming are very common. 🎮 He hides behind you when he’s fighting with his brothers but any other danger and he makes sure that you're behind him (even if he’s not sure that he can protect you… He can.) 🎮 Ruri-chan is part of the marriage, no room for debate, she's like the child you didn’t birth. 🎮 Still calls you Henry all the time, to be honest your marriage continues much like your friendship and dating lives had. 🎮 Anniversaries consist of him actually leaving the room for you, what you do will always vary but if you want to go somewhere that’s the only day that he won’t argue with you. 🎮 If you argue it’s probably about his spending habits and it’s more like scolding a child as he grumbles about being about to do whatever he wants with his money. Then he pulls out something that he bought for you. 🎮 If the argument goes on for too long he just assumes that you're filing for a divorce and that's a whole other problem to sort out. 🎮 He’ll have his head on your chest most nights, with his tail wrapped around your leg, he’ll love it if you wrap an arm around his shoulder and keep him close. 🎮 He’ll keep you in his room away from his brothers if you're sick, he’ll bring everything to you and even ask Lucifer for help if he really needed to. 🎮 No one ever knows where Levi is and he very rarely answers his messages unless they are from you so people will send you with information that they need to give him because they know that he’ll listen to you. 🎮 You guys never really talked about kids and if you ended up having any it would definitely be an accident, Levi would be worried all the time but he’s one of the most loving fathers out there. 🎮 You guys are the kind of married that people often mistake for best friends, you fit well together and are rarely apart.

Satan
🐈 Satan is a romantic deep down and when you started dating his end goal was marriage, I can’t say that anyone who really knew him was surprised. 🐈 It takes far more for Satan to get angry at you, and tries his hardest not to allow his demon form to come out but there are still moments that it happens. 🐈 Does not engage in petty argument, if he doesn’t think that it’s worth it he’ll let you rant your way through your anger before talking through it once you calmed down. 🐈 When you truly argue, everyone literally leaves the house, they don’t want to be around and they don’t come back until it’s sorted, the only person that will brave it is Lucifer (that’s usually if it’s gone on too long or results in a rampage from Satan). 🐈 When you get sick Satan knows what’s wrong and how to fix it, he’ll spend most of his time reading to you and making sure that you're getting better and not worse. 🐈 Satan doesn’t move much in his sleep but he knows if you move away from him and he’ll reach his tail out to make sure that you're okay, your bodies don’t have to touch but his tail will always be in contact with you. 🐈 Satan is the type of person to tell you that he doesn’t want kids but if you fall pregnant, he will not let you get rid of the baby and he’ll honestly be an amazing Dad. Smart, strong and protective or his little one. 🐈 Always has plans for you anniversary because he listens to you, he always remembers where you want to go, what you want from a shop so he can go back when you're not with him. 🐈 Loves to teach you things and to learn things from you, so where you are from different realms with different customs there is no shortage of knowledge to be shared. 🐈 Note down all the things that you don’t like no matter what it is, food, colours, style of clothes, he makes sure that you never have to come into contact with them if you don’t want to. 🐈 Protective, no matter what you can do for yourself, he doesn’t like having other demons around you, so he never leaves you alone with them, he just doesn’t trust them. 🐈 Random text messages about what book you're going to read together next. 🐈 Cats come with no arguments. 🐈 Everyone knows that you are going to be together forever, you are the person that Satan turned soft for, the only person he turned soft for.

Asmodeus
💅 No one expected him to get married but here he was married and to a human no less. 💅 Asmo doesn’t see you as anything apart from his amazing spouse and he will tell anyone the same thing. 💅 Asmo is probably one of the easiest brother’s to be married to, all of the others cause their own trouble but asmo is very rarely the centre of anything that happens to the brothers, he’s just swept up in everything afterwards. 💅 Continues to be a tease long after you are married so be ready for that. 💅 Your arguments are usually because someone was flirting with him and he entertained them instead of telling them he was married. 💅 Though this happens a lot less the longer that you are married to by about 6 months in arguments are a rare occurrence. 💅 Anniversaries are big nights out or shopping sprees followed by spa nights. 💅 Asmo doesn’t really mind how you sleep but he prefers being the little spoon or wrapped around you in some capacity. 💅 Loves to do your nails and if you’ll allow him to he makes it a mini date every week giving your hand and nails the treatment that they deserve. 💅 When you get sick he knows what to do and he’s ready to look after you, everyone thinks that he’d shy away from it but he loves you and will do anything for you (he will still whine about some things once you're better but he’ll be there the whole time). 💅 He’d love to have kids with you, he’d be worried about whatever gender they are since he doesn’t know that he’ll be about to parent them properly but with how caring and gentle he is he has nothing to worry about, he’s probably going to spoil them a little bit though (a lot). 💅 Always texting you for outfit advice and will provide the same for you, though he prefers an in person fashion show for the most accurate opinion. 💅 Has no problem with PDA, will show you that he loves you no matter where you are or who’s watching. 💅 You share clothes… He steals your clothes so you steal his and it continues like that for the rest of you married life. 💅 You guys are the hot couple that everyone wishes that they were, there have been a few demons that have tried to ruin your marriage but you both love each other too much for that to ever work.

Beelzebub
🍔 No one expected Beel to get married if only because he never seemed to understand the finer details of most things, however he knew that he loved you and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you (and Belphie). 🍔 You guys literally never argue, but it can be hard to understand him sometimes. If you've ever been around a mildly autistic child he’s a little like that, he knows what he’s feeling and what he’s talking about but you have to decode it for yourself sometimes. 🍔 He’ll share any and all food that he has, especially if he hasn’t seen you eat that day, he gets worried so he feeds you. 🍔 He’ll carry you everywhere and he’ll carry anything for you no questions asked. 🍔 Dedicated to you and only you, there is no one else that could turn his head, not even for a second, he’s looking at you and talking about how much he loves you. 🍔 Will kiss you wherever he wants, whenever he wants, Lucifer is often telling him it’s not appropriate and to wait until he's back in his room. 🍔 Anniversary means going to a new restaurant and trying everything on the menu, while laughing and talking about anything and everything that comes to mind or cooking it the kitchen at home. 🍔 He sleeps on his back and he’ll just have you laying over him, he literally doesn’t care but he will notice when your not there, he’ll wait a moment before coming to find you but when he does come to find you it usually results in a midnight snack. 🍔 He’s your biggest supporter no matter what you are doing. 🍔 Will jump in front of you at the first sign of danger no matter what it is, he gets genuinely upset if you get hurt. 🍔 When you get sick he doesn’t know what to do the first time, so he ask Belphie and Lucifer so that he could properly look after you, after the first time though he was ready and he stayed with you no matter what. 🍔 Would love to have kids, he’d be amazing at keeping them entertained, however disciplining them would be all you, they’d literally shed one tear and he’d be giving them whatever he told them that they couldn’t have. 🍔 You two are and will forever be a couple of teenagers running around laughing together and enjoying time that you have together, no matter how long your together or where your life takes you.

Belphegor
💤 Everyone is mildly confused because he is barely awake to know someone well enough to marry them but he chose and proposed to you and you said yes. 💤 You spend most of your time as his pillow, you’d be reading or doing your own thing while he sleeps and when he wakes up, you're both getting into some kind of trouble. 💤 Literally drags you into all of the plans that he makes to annoy Lucifer, you married him, you said until death do us part and he absolutely took that to heart. 💤 You guys don’t argue much because he does not entertain an argument at all, he’s easily angered so an argument consists of you saying something he doesn’t like, he disappears only for you to wake up cradled in his arms. 💤 Kisses you in public because sometimes he needs to remind people that you are taken but it has the added bonus of angering Lucifer as well. 💤 He looks after you while you're sick, he knows what he’s doing and he makes sure to keep the others away from you while you get better. 💤 Anniversaries are you stargazing or just spending time together without all of the others ruining it. 💤 You are the only person that can wake him up with no consequences, he’ll usually just steal kisses from you and try to distract you from the reason you came to wake him in the first place. 💤 Belphie never really cared about having kids, he’d be happy if you had them but he’d also be happy if it was just the two of you for the rest of your lives. 💤 He doesn’t move that much in his sleep and he won’t be woken up if you do. It doesn't bother him whether you want to lay over him or not, most nights though he’ll be the one falling asleep on you. 💤 Has a different ringtone for you, one that actually wakes him up so if you need him you can always reach him. 💤 Talks to you about everything, he spends a lot of time talking through feelings that he has, since he tends not to want to bother Beel and expects the others to laugh at him. He’d be okay if you talked through everything that you felt with him as well. 💤 You guys are the mostly quiet couple, you’d be happy on your own, you don’t need to world to know that you love each other, just each other, that is enough.

(Désolée pour le pavé, j'avais plus de choses à dire que je pensais)
I mean, I understand that the long anon wants to trust Q and the QSMP, because I truly think that we ALL want it to get better.
But I think our vision for "making things right" is just different.
Anon seems mostly focused on the people who are still in the project and how they're changing it for the better (i assume, for future employees) , while we tend to focus on the people who were kicked out and were never contacted again.
Us pointing out that the ex admins have been ghosted for 2 months is not "detail chasing" or "talking about past mistreatment" It's literally ongoing. And it is still mistreatment.
Maybe not everyone sees it that way, I guess. I'm sure some people think they're being impatient, or they don't deserve to be talked to because they're not in the project anymore, or even consider the ex employees newfound "fame" to be at their advantage, somehow. But even so, it doesn't change the fact that none of the whistle-blowers have seen any steps taken to compensate them, or even hear them, for the months of free labor and abuse. At least, as of now.
After all, the only promise Quackity made is that he'll make things right for the people working in Qstudio in the future. So far, he said nothing about the ex employees except vagueposting about "people who want to destroy the project".
We're allowed to be skeptic and even critical about how this is all handled. And we're allowed to express said skepticism online, where we can interact with others about it. Just like anon is allowed to express their support and trust in QStudio.
The problem comes, as usual, from parasocials of all extremes sending hate to everyone involved. And I do agree that this whole thing being public is mostly to blame for that.
I do think it's too bad that it didn't happen privately, but now, it's out, and the silver lining is that it allowed other ex employees to make their mistreatment heard without feeling like they're insane for it. After all, it's been months, and only now do we hear anything. It shows that the mental pressure to "dont talk to any of your colleagues and lay low or else" really stopped people from facing their abuse with the gravity it deserved.
And honestly, seeing how they're handling it rn, I doubt that Qstudio would have taken the right steps if it had been done 100% privately.
Like, maybe we're missing some legal context here, but why did Qstudio not explicitly ask for the ex-employees' testimonies yet? Even now, with a literal union repeatedly advising them to do so, they're not doing it.
They could make a separate email adress, share it privately to all ex employees and let them send their testimonies there. They dont have to acknowledge everything immediately. They dont have to say "we will solve this in one week". But ghosting such a large chunk of the people who made your project work and only allowing them to either completely shut up or go public is... a choice. So yeah, maybe going public was necessary for them to be heard. Idk. I'm just hoping things will get better soon on that front.
Agree with everything here so not much to add except maybe :
Really I think a lot of people are looking at it like : it’s okay things will be better starting now ! While forgetting that everything that happened before still need to be adresses and solved. Not even an opinion, as this can very well be a legal matter and a serious one at that. Can’t just go "oops sorry you guys were mistreated…Anyway we’ll move on without you towards better things" that’s not how it works 😵‍💫
And for the "it should have happened privately" argument I can’t anymore because yes, ideally this is how it would have gone down. But that’s not how it went, let’s move on and more importantly let’s not blame people who talked about it, as they would have been within their right to do so even if it was done with the primary intent to expose everything. Also "it should’ve blablabla" well Qstudios should have gotten their shit together from day one and yet ! What ifs will get us nowhere.
(Et t’inquiète pour le pavé, on a vu pire ici 😭)
