Idk what tag to use to describe the phenomenon of "Tiktok/Instagram Reels being full of toxic femininity/Gender Roles 2 but I just want to make a thread of examples of batshit takes I have seen from Instagram Reels (I don't have examples for all of them):
"I hate playing with my kids because I think they're 'emotionally abusive'/'gaslighting' when they change the rules every 30 seconds and rough house with me. Also, only fathers can enjoy playing with kids because they don't parent like mothers do (being a mom is soooooo harddddd). I refuse to teach my kids how to play nice and go shocked Pikachu when they don't."
"If you're over 25 you will never find a partner ever and should just get an arranged marriage" (said by someone IN THEIR LATE 20S)
"Sleep studies are all based on mens' needs women actually need 10 hours of sleep because uterus"
Just a whole lot of "Girls are mature well-behaved angels until they hit their double digits, then they become satanic demons from hell. Meanwhile boys are satanic demons from hell BEFORE puberty instead."
"Children produce more oxytocin around their dads because dads are the fun parents and they will never appreciate the hard work their mothers do"
"Bullying is good actually because something something evolutionary psychology. I am very smart, I was a gifted kid in high school"
"Men are useless overgrown children who can't keep house or be trusted around babies. But if a man can keep house and/or is good with children, he's either 'not a real man', a pedo, or gay."
"Some women??? Beat their kids??? To cope??? Kids should understand when mommy brings out the chapathi roller it's because they're just ungrateful brats! Being a mother is sooooo harddddd"

WIP Wednesday 2/21/24 (CLOSED) | Pretty Boy
"Then I guess it doesn't change things between us." Neil says but he still doesn't turn back to Andrew. "I want to go back to the house." he says still turned away.
"Why?" Andrew asks.
"I'm...tired." Neil answers, "I just want to go to bed." he adds.
Andrew stares at him for a long moment and he hates feeling like this.
"Ok." Andrew says and turns the car back on. The lights come on the dashboard and he looks to the side but it's still not enough light to catch Neil's reflection.

This last CC was kind of a banger. Hateful avenger is such a cool throwback to the first CC where plain old red avenger was a god. Hateful avenger comes at you with a charge that makes using ground units awkward and then the revive with an invuln depending on which contracts you're taking. Really solid boss design that encourages you to find different ways to tackle him than just blast em in front of the defender.
Rest of the map is kind of straight forward. If they had sent a single avenger down the left side of the map it would have been sooo much harder lol.
Was also very nice of them to make the very bottom row perfect for Schwarz. She just got to stand there and obliterate avengers. If that doesnt make Schwarz happy then I dont know what does. Anyways, good CC. Sad to see it end but it went out with a good one.

I just realized now that I still don't know Aki's exact age. One source says he's 18, the other says 21. Who to believe? 😰
none of the characters have confirmed ages but I've speculated on his age a lot of times, I have a post here with more details but tldr: based on flashbacks and other info I'd place him in the 23/24 range 💪

Fellas, is it gay to love something so much that any real reminder of it overwhelms you with emotion? Makes you curl up and throw it away so you don't break down and cry from just pure joy? Because you can't let yourself be happy and in love for some fucking reason, even if it's not a person you're in love with?

THANK YOU FOR BEING AMAZIJF <33333
WIP Wednesday 2/21/24 (CLOSED) | Math Nerd AU
The caseworker leaves and his foster parents call him downstairs. They let him know they're having beef stew for dinner and to let Aaron know that. He nods and heads back up the stairs leisurely.
He goes to Aaron's room and finds the bed stripped and a backpack and suitcase still packed on the ground.
He returns to his room to find Aaron already setting the bedding from the spare guest room on the ground there. Andrew doesn't say much about it, "Dinner is ready." is all he says before turning and heading back downstairs.
He hears Aaron scramble after him.
