Can we talk for a second about how absolutely wild it is that there are some (rich) people who are just *offended* by the idea of a poor person experiencing joy?????
I work at a really high end clothing store (I'm in the coffee shop, so I already get looked down on by these people because I have a black tee shirt and apron on that are both covered in milk), and right now we are having our big anniversary sale, so they hired a DJ to like play music and hype people up.
I have to walk upstairs to get some supplies, and I have a bad knee rn so I use the escalator in the store instead of the hidden stairwell. A lot of the baristas use the escalator.
Anyway. The DJ is playing a song I really like; generic radio pop that has the bass way boosted, but it still is fun???? So as I'm walking to the escalator I'm bouncing a little, dancing a little. Nothing big or disruptive.
But I get on the escalator and I had no less than seven rich old white people giving me the dirtiest looks. God forbid I serve coffee and actually enjoy my job.
God forbid poor people find joy in their lives.

Something that's really irritating me about the Off-White doll is that when you look at the concept art, she has 0 monster features aside from her green skin. Her monster type was such an after thought, and that's why its so poorly reflected in her design. Like she's supposed to be a fish (I think) where are her scales? Where are her fins? For such an expensive doll, I expected more than just a reused face mold, and a very easily recognizable one at that.
Her concept art really looks like a pale Casta Fierce. And honestly, I would probably like her more if that was the direction they took. Instead of being completely new, lazily designed characters, they could have done something like "Casta Fierce modelling for Off-Fright" or something, and added a witchy twist to the actual Off-White look. I mean, it would still be grossly overpriced, but I guarantee she'd sell better, especially considering Casta only ever got one doll. And it would've been SO PERFECT for an October Friday the 13th release.

Positively bonkers for a spoiled brat, 20 something Bruce being booted to farmer Clark Kent to "make an honest boy" out of him
Luckily, Thomas' old college friend, John Kent, thinks his boy might help Brucie Wayne just fine. (He's totally not playing matchmaker, nossir
After those horrible rumours he spread about Local Saint (TM) and family friend Carmine Falcone, there was no way but down. " He's a crook, scheming, fake mobster trash and you KNOW that!"
" Bruce; It's one thing to be nasty. It's another to be nasty towards others." Thomas and Martha are at the end of their rope; Their baby is adorable, but they can't enable his behaviour more than they already have. " Now you're going to be nice and not DIFFICULT, so Alfred can stop chewing us out, okay?"
oh bruce is hot and fuming silently, but Thomas and Martha are long gone, their Corvette vanishing in Smallville's golden dust.
" Thanks for this." hissing like a disgruntled kitten, Bruce easily picks up his bags.
Clark hums, says he'll do good work around the stables with those arms after all, and Bruce raises an eyebrow. Snorts. " You're funny. It's good to know you're funny,"
and Clark IS smiling (and ofc the bastard has the prettiest most heart melting smile, too) but it inspires no humor.
"... You're serious."
" Like Mother's Day."
" Okay, this won't take long. So, how much? Papa didn't leave me enough, I only have like, a couple thousands on my card, but is that gonna buy your silence on me bailing out of here? I have a spa appointment in, -"
" I don't think the rats in the barn can do your nails, but we can try."
"...Rats?"
" You know, those things with long tails and big teeth?"
" Very funny," Bruce is DISTURBED. '' Well I can't go anywhere in half of what I brought. Shame."
Something about that glare tells him he should stop talking and Bruce isn't good at that, but he makes an effort.
He looks around; It's an adorable house really. Looks almost identical to one of those dollhouses he played with as a kid.
" Cute place. Really elegant for the budget. But where are you gonna stay?"
Clark is amused; Albeit a little, but amused none the less. " There's a nice shoe box around here. I'm sure I'll fit there if I'm stubborn enough."
" ... No way."
" Yes way."
" But - but, there's only ONE shower?! Only one bathroom? I can't live like this!"
Clark shrugs his ridiculously toned shoulders and points to the barn, " Your second option isn't looking too hot, darlin'. " Then leaves Bruce alone, a blushing mess of satin shirt and muddied shoes.
He screams, " I HATE YOU!" To the trail of tires that left him in that horrible place before driving off back to Gotham, to their sweet Rosé and designer clothes and his beloved Alfred. Only for a few minutes. " ... I didn't mean that!"
At least the ducklings are cute. He fails at most chores, but he plays with them and tries to sneak them into the house, " Because it IS cold for them, CLARK!"

Parent Reveals from YFM's The Trauma Song
(depicted: Puff's Father, Puff's Mother, DeeJay's Step-Father)
Observations regarding each-
Puff's Dad: Absent from his son's life either because he died, ended up in jail or just straight up left the family. When he was there, he would hit Puff with a belt as punishment like his own father did to him.
Puff's Mom: Emotionally negligent, seemingly too strung out on pills or booze to actually parent her son. Seemed to be mostly in a drugged up state, probably didn't do much or step in at all when Puff's dad would hit him. Let her in-laws raise her son.
DeeJay's Step-Father: Seems to have been an alcoholic, would physically harm DeeJay or destroy his possessions if he caught his step son doing anything even remotely feminine. Definitely a major contributing factor as why DeeJay once held transphobic views.

What y'all didn't understand about Bitey was that it wasn't this moment where Tomshiv suddenly became equal and safe to be themselves both truly. It was entirely on Shiv's terms. They only play Bitey because Shiv initiates it and tells Tom to bite her hard.
Listen, Tom got Shiv the Scorpion. I love you. You kill me. I kill you. Yeah Tom started to think maybe Shiv could love him as he loves her: in his entirety and not just the nice parts.
And then Shiv punishes him by shitting on his reputation at a party they're throwing together as payback by spreading rumour he's gonna be fired,,, all cos she didn't like the scorpion, and furthermore the idea of you kill me I kill you, we stab each other, we both get to bite each other, we both get to hurt each other - not just you hurting me, we're both scorpions, we're both equal, you sting me and I sting you. We're equal.
But they're not and they never will be. Cos Shiv loves like her father does: an owner that kicks a loyal dog to see how quickly it returns. Cos Shiv expects Tom to love it when she hurts him, but it's not allowed for him to hurt her back, to sting her back, to bite her back. Cos it's not about equality in a relationship for her, sorry, it's about playing with power dynamics for her in a fetishistic way. It's exciting for her when Tom bit back because ultimately she told him to and moreso could stop it at any time. It's only allowed under her circumstances - of which she's still in power always. She'd never allow Tom to be equal to her truly.
