#Frank the talentless
Note
oaky, you said that Stina had a talentless cousin who was disowned at sixteen, but what happened after he was disowned, was he homeless on the streets? did Stina re/connect with him after she was disowned? and what is his name, because i’ve been calling him Francis and i feel like that’s probably wrong
Yeah...
(heyo peeps who haven't read my Stinex fic yet, that's where i mentioned this!)
They kicked him out, probably onto the streets, yeah. They just didn't care anymore. Maybe it's a tad ugly of behavior, but hey, it keeps their family pretty, and that's all that matters in the lost cities.
I'm willing to bet he found some talentless city, probably walked there, I bet light leaping costs lusters. He wanders there, and he's dirty and sweaty and tired and streaked with tears.
And he just winds up along dusty roads and run down houses and he just looks out at it and thinks, I belong here.
He just stares out at the houses, and wonders why his family thought kicking out a fifteen year old boy was something it was okay to do.
A girl walked past, with a basket of wildflowers under her arm.
"Are you okay?"
The boy looked at her. "Nope," he answered.
"What's the matter?"
"I... Everything's a mess."
She stared at him. "Where do you live?"
"Nowhere."
She blinked. "Your family?"
"Don't have one, anymore."
She blinked. "Alright. Come on, then."
She kept walking, and stunned, he followed.
He wound up in a warm house, and was fed without question, and offered a place to sleep.
"Aren't you worried about me, like, killing you in your sleep?"
The mother of the family laughed, and through the open windows of the tiny house he heard bugs humming. "You can try. My sons work in the mines, though. They'd crack you in half like a twig."
He blinked. "Oh."
"And besides," she said, looking him up and down once. "We see a lot of your kind. Fancy clothes. Tear streaks. Hungry. Tired. Just last week, some kid came around. Four years old. Ashmaker. We cleaned her up and got her to a good family. She's doing better now."
He sat there, quietly, listening.
The mother continued. "Yesterday, my friend Litha found this kid, about your age, he was, wandering about the stores. He said he'd been kicked out."
"Why?"
"Talentless twin. They wanted his brother more than they wanted him."
He felt sick. "Oh."
She nodded. "Pretty awful of them."
He swallowed, the lump in his throat heavy and sharp. "Yeah."
"So," she said, "What are you out for?"
He blinked away tears, looking at the ground. "Just... didn't have a talent."
She nodded, once. "I'm sorry, kiddo. We're all in the same boat, though."
He was struck with a jolt that this woman was talentless. This home was talentless. And yet, after years of his family's hatred, cursing everyone like them, hating their very existence without them knowing, the only thing they offered him was kindness.
Maybe he belonged here, among kind words and firm phrases, and a love that beats underneath the worn and sticky boards of the house. Maybe he wanted to.
Maybe.
I honestly think Stina would probably leave him alone.
Maybe she runs into him, one day, in a store, shopping. Maybe she meets his eyes and thinks she knows him.
Maybe she recognizes his stature.
Maybe there's something to him that she knows, like she knows her aunts and uncles.
Maybe...
But then it passes.
She leaves the store.
And never thinks about it again.

Poet Delmore Schwartz, New York City Uncredited and Undated Photograph
O Delmore how I miss you. You inspired me to write. You were the greatest man I ever met. You could capture the deepest emotions in the simplest language. Your titles were more than enough to raise the muse of fire on my neck. You were a genius. Doomed.
The mad stories. O Delmore I was so young. I believed so much. We gathered around you as you read Finnegans Wake. So hilarious but impenetrable without you. You said there were few things better in life than to devote oneself to Joyce. You’d annotated every word in the novels you kept from the library. Every word.
And you said you were writing “The Pig’s Valise.” O Delmore no such thing. They looked, after your final delusion led you to a heart attack in the Hotel Dixie. Unclaimed for three days. You—one of the greatest writers of our era. No valise.
You wore the letter from T.S. Eliot next to your heart. His praise of In Dreams. Would that you could have stopped that wedding. No good will come of this!!! You were right. You begged us—Please don’t let them bury me next to my mother. Have a party to celebrate moving from this world hopefully to a better one. And you Lou—I swear—and you know if anyone could I could—you Lou must never write for money or I will haunt you.
I’d given him a short story. He gave me a B. I was so hurt and ashamed. Why haunt talentless me? I was the walker for “The Heavy Bear Who Goes With Me.” To literary cocktails. He hated them. And I was put in charge. Some drinks later—his shirt undone—one tail front right hanging—tie skewed, fly unzipped. O Delmore. You were so beautiful. Named for a silent movie star dancer Frank Delmore. O Delmore—the scar from dueling with Nietzsche.
Reading Yeats and the bell had rung but the poem was not over you hadn’t finished reading—liquid rivulets sprang from your nose but still you would not stop reading. I was transfixed. I cried—the love of the word—the heavy bear.
You told us to break into __’s estate where your wife was being held prisoner. Your wrists broken by those who were your enemies. The pills jumbling your fine mind.
I met you in the bar where you had just ordered five drinks. You said they were so slow that by the time you had the fifth you should have ordered again. Our scotch classes. Vermouth. The jukebox you hated—the lyrics so pathetic.
You called the White House one night to protest their actions against you. A scholarship to your wife to get her away from you and into the arms of whomever in Europe.
I heard the newsboy crying Europe Europe.
Give me enough hope and I’ll hang myself.
Hamlet came from an old upper class family.
Some thought him drunk but—really—he was a manic-depressive—which is like having brown hair.
You have to take your own shower—an existential act. You could slip in the shower and die alone.
Hamlet starting saying strange things. A woman is like a cantaloupe Horatio—once she’s open she goes rotten.
O Delmore where was the Vaudeville for a Princess. A gift to the princess from the stage star in the dressing room.
The duchess stuck her finger up the duke’s ass and the kingdom vanished.
No good will come of this. Stop this courtship!
Sir you must be quiet or I must eject you.
Delmore understood it all and could write it down impeccably.
Shenandoah Fish*. You were too good to survive. The insights got you. The fame expectations. So you taught.
And I saw you in the last round.
I loved your wit and massive knowledge.
You were and have always been the one.
You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him think.
I wanted to write. One line as good as yours. My mountain. My inspiration.
You wrote the greatest short story ever written. In Dreams
-- Lou Reed, "Oh Delmore How I Miss You" 2012

The attack 100% will push Israeli society further right, further toward mistrust, trauma, and retribution. The attack will also 100% fail and have devastating repercussions for the people of Gaza. Maybe the Hamas losers know this, maybe they intended it to happen. A violent chaotic cathartic release with no real plan or attempt at achieving any kind of goals... were they that delusional? Did they think they would start the next Arab Israeli war and bring Israel down?
Or were they fully intending to fuel their own martyr complexes and to martyr hundreds of unwilling Palestinian civilians in a desperate attempt to make Israel lose the optics war? It's probably this one, and it only proves that they are LOSERS, they are sad pathetic losers and their greatest triumph is shooting grandmas and trying to capture Jewish sex slaves to prove what big manly men they are, while the women and children in their towns are being bombed to pieces. Disgusting pieces of shit.
But about that optics war... Mass executions and rapes and kidnappings by Hamas militants have done more to repair Israel's image in normal (I repeat and emphasize: NORMAL) people's eyes than any amount of sharing graphs and documents and educating people, or state sponsored tweets could ever have. This is the true Mask Off moment for Hamas and Gaza. Even antizionists are taking to social media to say "stop the violence innocent people are dying this is so bad we stand with the people of Israel." Like this is such an utter disaster for Gaza it boggles the mind how they greenlit this attack.
Like I truly think if Bibi orders a ground invasion most people aside from internet leftists and Arab nationalists would be alright with it. I hope he doesn't, I think a measured and careful response is crucial right now, but that's how badly Hamas fucked up whatever goodwill they had today.
It will push Israeli society further toward the right in terms of military / security crackdown and generally bleak attitudes towards coexistence with Palestinians (moreso). I would like very much to believe that Israelis will notice that the current government of right-wing channer trolls is totally talentless and lazy and that their incompetence and unnecessary cultural divisionism directly made possible this tragedy, and will then replace the right-wing channer trolls with right-wing skilled leaders. Note that by "right-wing skilled leaders" I no longer include Netanyahu, who should be as permanently discredited as the rest of them. The structure of Israeli electoral politics has let me down before, and I don't think Netanyahu has enough human decency to resign when he so blatantly ought to.
We are going to see something in Gaza that we haven't seen before; there is really no choice. I'm just not sure what that "something" will be.
I've seen several posters on Jewish Reddit argue for a full land invasion and lasting re-occupation of Gaza. This would be a Carter-Iranian-hostage-rescue level catastrophe. Gaza has been prepping for an Israeli land invasion for 15+ years, it is the basis of multiple Hamas and PIJ battle plans, we can assume every street and alley is boobytrapped and every window can hold an RPG launcher and every room can become a hostage site. Lasting military incursion with boots on the ground seems doomed to fail - and then if it succeeded it might be even worse, Israel would have to bleed its military and economic resources into managing the day-to-day lives of 2 million Palestinians. Of the options for eliminating Hamas, that would be the one that was worst for Israel in the immediate term, so it is the one I don't expect. Other options are terrible too, but less so for Israel itself.
To be very frank, I'd almost rather they skip Hamas and launch a decapitating strike on Iran directly. Terrible repercussions of course, but it avoids the usual script, the obvious boobytrap aspects, and puts a final "bookmark" on the threats that both Hamas and Hezbollah could represent.

So what if O!Sky was soft?
Tumblr media
Ah, the brainrot just won’t go away. I think FNF Soft is wonderful! Mostly because the concept and aesthetic, and Grace! She’s my favorite of the bunch. Oh, I could ramble on and on about her, but we’re focusing on the Skyverse, especially O!Sky! This is my design for her! I tried my best to imitate Alex’s style, I think it’s pretty good. A little wonky on the limbs though.
Madison has a unique sense of fashion, I mean she wants to look stylish so makes sense. She’s a part time hair stylist, but dreams of becoming a fashion designer. She dyed parts of her hair blue because that was her second favorite color. She loves purple the most, and it’s pretty much 99% of her closet. Madison is not too short, only 5”2. But there are many more people taller than her, which is why she wears platform shoes. I was originally going to make her similar to her sister, but I think it’s better not to do that since that wouldn’t make much sense, mostly because of her backstory. If you wanna read it, just click or tap the magic button (aka keep reading LOL)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The two photos above are two other outfits. Madison’s outfit on her reference sheet is very similar to the second image, only that in the traditional drawing, the skirt is flowing, while in the one above, is a tight skirt, like the one in the third image.
Now let’s get into the backstory…
Madison wasn’t abused in her past like Benjamin was, but instead she heavily bullied someone. Specifically her younger sister. Yes, I do mean the Soft Sky we all know and love.
The Sky Siblings used to live in “The city of Stars” together with their parents. The father worked very busy as a Tailor, so they didn’t suffer too much financially. When they were young, Madison was always the one doing better at… pretty much anything. Sports, art, singing…whatever you name. At least their mom’s eyes. Mom would always give her older daughter attention and neglects her younger daughter. Because of that, Madison liked to treat her sister like crap, always bragging about herself and how she was better while Sky couldn’t “do anything” or was just “stupid and talentless.” She said lots mean things every single time she had a chance to. Their mother always just brushed it off as playful teasing because they were just kids! Kids don’t know morals. Same thing happened with the dad, but unlike mom, he actually started to slowly catch on to Madison’s hateful behavior. He then constantly reminds her to be more nicer to her younger sister, but that didn’t seem to work. He also began noticing that his wife was actually neglecting Sky. Before the siblings started middle school, the parents had a discussion with each other, which then turned into an argument, which lead to them getting a divorce. Sky and their father stayed at home, while Madison and their mother moved to another city. And that’s when Madison slowly starts to realize her behavior that past years. The less she was with her sister, the more days that went on, the more she felt guilty for her past actions. Her superiority complex slowly turned into an inferiority complex.
Nowadays, she’s much more mature, but isn’t very open to others. In other words, she’s very mysterious. She has a nice facade in order to please customers at her job, but in college she’s very avoidant of others. Like I said before, she strives to become a fashion designer, but also mustn’t reveal too much of herself. So yeah the reason Mother Mairest reminds Madison so much of herself is because she acted too much like her younger self. Also she only sees herself in Marilyn and not Frank is because 1) He’s ugly (at least Marilyn has a decent fashion sense) and 2) Madison never physically hurt Sky, at all. Even as a child she would never go far to physical harm. So no, Madison couldnt have caused that to Sky’s left eye.
Unfortunately, Mama Sky is a not a good mom in this AU. Actually, we know absolutely nothing about O!Sky’s mom OG universe, but I’ve always assumed she’s a good mother! But despite this, Madison still maintains a good relationship with mom. I mean, Mama Sky isn’t manipulative or abusive towards her, just was playing the favorite game in the worst way possible. I know many parents play favorites but this mother just takes it too far
“Ok, but what about Benjamin Fairest? What does Madison think of him?” Good question! You see… I actually didn’t think that far. Well, this is literally called the soft AU so the characters should seem less rambunctious and more calm. I guess Madison would just be neutral towards him. Like she wouldn’t care about his existence, she only wants his parents to get a good well deserved punishment. So yeah, he’s just okay in her eyes.
“What about Grace/Pico?” She has no idea who either of them are. Actually she knows the latter, but that’s only because a bunch of people made jokes about him in her high school.
“Wait, Sky Sky Curls?” I headcanon Soft Sky’s real name would be “Libby” but again, it’s only canon in my head, so I tend to stay away from using that.
I went on several different baby name websites for names that meant “heart.” Yes that is a reference to Old O!Sky’s sister being named Hearts. I kinda sorta gave up because I was doing this late at night. I chose Libby, or Libi, because it meant “my heart” or “girl” which isn’t exactly what I wanted, but I guess it was good enough.
Basically Libby was what I personally thought was most fitting for Soft Sky. If you read the small crossed out text, ok then.
Hmm… I guess that’s about all I could say! If you have any more questions, then the ask box is open! I think even people who don’t have a Tumblr and only came from my insta can use the ask box. You can ask anonymously or not.

To any effort to alba (pun intnded)
Punyeta kang babae ka walang talena na actress di tas maka malaswa online sa lahat na para ma kita sa buong mundo nag pa kasal sa actor na may telento! Siya walang kwenta!!!
Well said, Te! (Ate = big sister in Tagalog, one of the MANY Filipino languages)
GO OFF!!!
Tumblr media
Rough Translation:
You're a beautiful woman, however you're talentless. And have the audacity to be obscene online, where people can see your bare body, around the world. You married an actor with talent, but you're a worthless girl, who's not worthy of womanhood.
Proud to give y'all a sample of how harsh us Filipinos can be 😁 it's mostly the tone, and maybe the facial expressions. But we're mostly nice 😅 just frank, and have harsh wording. But don't give us reasons to hate you, you won't like it.

KotLC and PJO- A Masterpost
Last Updated: March 9th, 2024
Help: @moonrose18 @labaguetteisdabest @awful-amatuer @queenpiranhadon @ad-woof @beautifulenemychild @yourtwistedlies @softmoonlightmelody @sabrine-bree-the-bravery
PJO -> KotLC
Percy- Hydrokinetic because of his water abilities.
Annabeth- Talentless because she usually relies on her smarts and has expressed wishing she had abilities like the others.
Jason- Guster because of his wind control and Charger because of his electricity control.
Leo- Pyrokinetic because of his fire powers and Technopath because of his tech/ electronic control.
Piper- Beguiler because she can use her Charmspeak to make someone listen to her.
Hazel- Conjurer because of her summoning of jewels and Mesmer because of her use of the Mist and how she can affect what people see. Mesmers affect people's actions, and how Hazel can say "look at the wall" and suddenly there's a wall seems more Mesmer than Beguiler.
Frank- Phaser because they can change their form and Polyglot because they can speak ANYTHING.
Nico- Shade because he can control shadows.
Thalia- Charger because she can control electricity.
Reyna- Enhancer because she can enhance others' abilities.
Will- Flasher because he can light up (I think?? Not finished with the series.) He could do something like Elwin and use his Flasher abilities to be a doctor.
Grover- I have three options for him. A Gnome because of how much Satyrs love nature, a Telepath like Fitz since he found Percy like Fitz found Sophie, or a Hydrokinetic so he has the same ability as Percy when he finds him, which is what happened with Fitz and Sophie.
Rachel- Human aware of the elves' existence.
Tyson- Ogre because of Ogres (like Cyclops) being seen as monsters, and while some are, not all are.
Calypso- Descryer because of Ogygia's magic. Heroes (who, of course, have potential if they're heroes) wash up on shore.
Clarisse- Inflictor because of her abilities being able to cause pain on others.
Juniper- Gnome because she's like a Wood Nymph or something so part tree or something like that like gnome are, or if she was to be an elf, then a Guster because it's the closest to an earthy ability.
Hylla- Telepath because of being a leader and Beguiler because of leading the Amazons (think of how they have their men).
Connor- Since I'm making the Empaths Hermes kids, I might as well make the Hermes kids Empaths.
Travis- Same as Connor.
Bianca- Shade because of being a daughter of Hades and Empath because it fits her vibe, and I just feel like she would be.
Ella- Dwarf because she gives Dwarf vibes.
Zoë- Psiniopath because of leading the Hunters.
Silena- Beguiler because of her possible Charmspeak and love magic.
Beckendorf- Technopath because of his tech and electronics.
Festus- Two options: Technopath because he's literally a piece of tech and Pyrokinetic because he could breathe fire, or a Spectral Mirror like Vertina because he's not alive but he almost feels like it.
Drew- Beguiler because she Charmspeaks.
Meg- Four options: Conjurer because of her plant control, Teleporter because of her plant teleportation, Mesmer because of controlling Apollo, or Flasher because yes.
Chris- Empath. For fun.
KotLC -> PJO
Luke- Teleporter because he can do that.
Katie Gardner- Guster is the closest to an Earthy ability.
Estelle- Human little sister of Percy's, like Amy is with Sophie.
Sophie- Two options: Ares because she starts out looking weak but turns out very strong and has many abilities that would make her terrifying to fight or Zeus because she's a natural leader and her Inflicting looks a lot like lightning.
Fitz- Three options: Aphrodite child, descendant of Venus because of how his whole family is beautiful and charming, or a satyr since he found Sophie like Grover found Percy.
Biana- Same as Fitz.
Keefe- Four options: Hermes because he gives off the vibes, Ares because he's good with weapons, Apollo because he's artsy and bold, or Athena because he's an Empath and can read people.
Dex- Hephaestus kid because of his tech.
Tam- Pluto at Camp Jupiter because their strictness reminds me of Exilium and he's a shade. He's a year older than Linh (like Quan always gaslights them into thinking) because it's not a big deal in this universe to have twins.
Linh- Neptune because of her water powers with her story like Tam's.
Marella- Hephaestus kid because she would be a Firestarter.
Wylie- Apollo kid (Flasher).
Maruca- the same as Wylie because Psiniopath's make light force fields.
Stina- Hermes vibes, but also Athena because she reads and is an Empath like Keefe.
Amy- Oracle because she isn't an elf, so she wouldn't be a demigod.
Jensi- Unclaimed because he's Talentless.
Rayni- Two options: Apollo like Wylie or Hecate. She joins the Neverseen (A.K.A. the bad guys) and in this universe the bad guys are people like Luke. It makes more sense for her to be a child of a minor god than someone as important as Apollo. She also gives off Hecate vibes.
Jolie- either Pluto like Hazel because she conjures things, Aphrodite because she's flirtatious and pretty, or Iris because it fits her vibe.
Rex- the same as the Song twins. He's the oldest triplet and Unclaimed because he's Talentless.
Lex- Either Poseidon because he has frost powers (and Khione doesn't have kids) or Hermes because he feels like a Hermes child. He's the youngest triplet.
Bex- Ares middle daughter triplet because I said so and also, she's a Phaser like Frank.
Alvar- Actually, Biana and Fitz's half-sibling. He's a kid of Hermes and a forgotten child. Think of how he has to try to look good.
Fernan- Hermes because yes, Mars because he's a Phaser, or Apollo because Jensi could feel in his brother's shadow.
Brant- Hephaestus because Pyrokinetic.
Vertina- either a Harpy because it feels right, or if she were a demigod, Aphrodite because her whole thing is makeup.
Ruy- Phoebus (Roman Apollo) because he's a Psiniopath and uses light.
Gethen- Athena because he's a Telepath.
Trix- Jupiter because of his wind abilities.
Umber- Pluto because of her shadows.
Ro- Bellona because ogres are all about war.
Sandor- Mars because goblins are raised for war.
Grizel- Bellona (not Mars; she's dating Sandor).
Lovise- Mars.
Woltzer- Mars underdog who gets bossed around by Sandor.
Bo- Mars (married to Ro).
Flori- Descendant of Ceres (Roman Demeter) because she's a gnome. Calla and Yuri and the others are her family.
Nubiti- Trivia (Roman Hecate). Feels about right.
Brielle- Fortuna because it would be ironic.
Cadoc- Mars I guess.
Tarina- Mars because Minerva doesn't have kids.
Oc's
CeCe Fathdon- Either Athena because of her telepathy, Aphrodite because her mom is literally Oralie, or Demeter because she loves nature.
Amir Patel- Mortal with Sight (like Sally Jackson).

KOTLC KIDS AT THE POOL
Tumblr media
 ੈ✩‧₊˚ FANDOM: keeper of the lost cities
 ੈ✩‧₊˚ FORMAT: headcanon
 ੈ✩‧₊˚ WARNINGS: swearing
masterlist || kotlc masterlist || navigation
Tumblr media
*marlee sighs really loudly, aggressively sips water and sighs again*
OKAY SO
it’s so chaotic
they have a pool playlist and
well
it’s insane.
it goes from witchcraft - frank sinatra (sophie’s pick), not friendly - flo milli (raynis pick), good days - sza (bianas pick), 3005 - childish gambino (keefes pick), the phantom of the opera - phantom of the opera musical (fitz’ pick), what the world needs - ride the cyclone musical (marucas pick), let you break my heart again - laufey (linhs pick), purge the poison - marina (marellas pick), armies of the night - sparks (tams pick), thriller - micheal jackson (dexs pick), the archer - taylor swift (wylie’s pick I KNOW HE LIKES THIS SONG) she bangs (english version) - ricky martin (stinas pick), S.L.U.T. - ppcocaine (jensis pick, he plays it to make everyone laugh)
so basically it’s a chaotic mix of different music tastes
omg sophie falls into the pool
dex is talking to her and he looks away for like a split second snd he looks back and the mf is in the pool, hair clinging to her face
DEXS HAIR IS SO FLAT WHEN ITS WET AND HE LOOKS LIKE A WEASEL WITH IT LIKE THAT (slightly curly hair dex canon when)
chicken fights are 100% a thing
and tam and sophie are an unstoppable team
so are biana and dex
keefe played on wylie’s shoulders once and HE FUCKING SCREAMED because biana and dex were just going at it and he accidentally choked poor wylie with his thighs and they lost
also dex is insanely good at marco polo
stina slightly moved once and this ginger whips around and fucking tackles her and she can’t look him in the eye for weeks
also i just think maruca, marella and dex with muscles
they all have them showing off and everyone else is like “😨😨”
sophie and fitz bring extra towels and snacks for everyone because they’re slightly responsible
keefe can’t swim so he just clings to dex the whole time
dex is very smug about this
they have inside jokes which are being brought up the whole time
rayni and wylie have a secret friendship and one day tam and sophie are chicken fighting with dex and biana
and the four of them are screaming curse words and getting political over it and wylie turns to rayni and says
and says some goofy ass inside joke and she starts snorting and wheeze laughing and everyone turns to them like “????”
marella also can’t swim so she sun bathes the whole time
tam dumps water on her
stina and tams love language is pushing their friends into the pool and dumping water over their heads
the only time they got along actually
stina will never admit it but she really loves the groups company
JENSI IS TALENTLESS. BECAUSE I SAID SO.
and because of jensi being talentless stina always teams up with him for chicken fights so he doesn’t feel left out but he’s also weirdly good at it so she won’t admit it because she feels bad for him and says it’s because he’s good at it
linh absolutely loves to form bubbles around her friends then drop it on them
tam is influencing
the group somehow knows all of nat king coles songs and they scream the lyrics
this group is so chaotic btw
chaotic enough that they scare away all the other people at the public pool, making it their own
fitz lays on a floatie the whole time with a drink and ignores everyone
he doesn’t have time for that shit
until dex, biana and keefe flip over his floatie and he throws it at them then runs after them trying to get it back
they also 100% have water fights and biana is a god with a water gun and i’m gonna leave it there

Nana and Nanao from Talentless Nana!
How come they are both named after the lucky number 7 ?!
To be frank i'm digging the series for months now but never got around to create some fanart to share.
With this i also kind of want to advertise again... the series is so underrated.
I understand that some people who are more into the usual shounen trope feel kind of betrayed when watching this one.
But it gets really good, especially in the manga.
I'd also recommend the anime to people who seek a cool female character and are tired of the cutesy love interest.
Also when you're looking for something different and not your usual 0815 anime.

Most of his fanbase shares like 10-12 brain cells. They sit on the inter web boasting about how much they paid to go see him in concert and how proud they are that his “thoughtful” merch is 10 times as expensive as Louis’ tickets. They fight with people who were acknowledging the achievement of Frank Ocean headlining Coachella as the first openly queer musician. We saw them tell us how he was a poor baker boy from a village in England who does not fall into the profile of a typical Grammy winner.
I think there is a pattern there which tells us exactly why they are his fans which have been accumulated on the strength of data mining.
Well. The world is very gullible and susceptible to marketing… hence the reason that talentless people like the Kardashians are billionaires. Harry’s good friends.
Harry’s fandom breaks my incredulity for how gullible consumers can be. They will in fact buy snake oil from the sleaziest people. But that’s their tragedy, not mine.

Champagne Problems, is about Tom Hiddleston proposal, and It's not just about Dianna proposal ? And none Karlie.
I know this probably unpopular opinions.
Since Dianna Agron is allegedly proposed to Taylor Swift in the verge, their ending relationship back in 2012/2013.
However, if we try to be more open to the idea it could be Karlie or Tom Hiddleston, since both of them have sister/s. Both of the have some kinds of "group of friend" with Taylor Swift. Karlie, of course with her Victoria Secret's Angel's friends. While Tom Hiddleston, he and Taylor have some friends in commons.
Why I think Tom Hiddleston could be proposed, because he is by far the most stable man. I mean, emotionally, Tom is the most emotionally stable. You can compare to Calvin Harris, bisexual Harry Style, John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, even the gay/bisexual Joe Alwyn.
Tom practically wearing I love TS t-shirt. He was adored Taylor. I bet Tom will be willing to everything for Taylor. Unfortunately, Taylor heart is not fully for Tom.
You can compare the body language of Tom vs Joe Alwyn when they are together with Taylor Swift. Tom looks happy strolling paparazi with Taylor. Then, compared to the annoying and talentless Joe Alwyn, he seems to get diarrhea when spotted together with Taylor. With Joe Alwyn, Taylor is the one to act like big spoon. But with Tom, he is the one to act like the big spoon.
Joe Alwyn the "longest term boyfriend" is the obnoxious person that publicly never supported Taylor Swift. Tom care to spoke highly for Taylor. Then compare to Joe, he dont even try to give any honour for Taylor. Joe maybe the longest relationship contract boyfriend, but he is the worst. Worse than Joe Jonas to be frank who broke up over the phone. Joe might be on par as worst as Calvin Harris that routinely shagging other women while under relationship contracts
Check this gossip news then review the lyrics;
Those gossip news stated that Tom want more "serious" something with their relationship. This could mean he proposed. Once the proposal rejected by yours significant others, then there is no turning back. Tom could be so swoon with Taylor, and he wanted to be some kind of official. Tom has a good relationship with his sister and mother. So Taylor's lyrics on Champagne Problems capture these dynamics. And ironically, Tom's mother name is Diana. Imagine your ex name is Dianna, then you dated someone that his mother name also Diana. Some people with take it as Dianna is the one, no matter what happened Dianna will always be lingering.
Why I am rethinking Champagne Problems is not solely about Dianna Agron proposal. Because I believe Taylor accept Dianna proposal. Back then even Taylor mad to Dianna, she is still in love with Dianna. There is Stay Stay Stay songs, then we got How You Get A Girl as well. Swiftgron was ended because of Taylor PR management and I believe mainly her parents do not agree with it, in particularly Taylor father.
On US Weekly article, it stated this;
July 14, 2016
A source told Us that Hiddleston was planning to propose to his girlfriend of two months. “She would definitely say yes,” the insider said at the time, adding that dating the Kong: Skull Island actor had “been a dream come true” for Swift.
In Champagne Problems, it gives us notions that Taylor said NO instantaneously over the proposal. Unlike what happened with Swiftgron proposal. Why not Karlie, Karlie was already with Josh Kushner She literally took classes at NYU just to impress Kushner clan. Also, when in 2019 Taylor allegedly about to come out in Pride Month, it was intended with Karlie. But Karlie refused it, because Karlie has been enjoyed having Kushner clan family blessing. Why would Karlie want to take the hard route of life to come out with Taylor if she already offered a nice, stable life with Kushner clan. Taylor is the richest singers, however, she still controlled by bunch of moguls behind her. Compare to Kushner, Kushner pratically the one that control things. So Karlie is just being Karlie, she's thinking about her easier future for her and also Kloss family.
Review the lyrics here;
champagne problems
Lyrics
You booked the night train for a reason So you could sit there in this hurt Bustling crowds or silent sleepers You're not sure which is worse
Because I dropped your hand while dancing Left you out there standing Crestfallen on the landing Champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket -> Taylor had met Tom mother My picture in your wallet -> this typical guy move Your heart was glass, I dropped it Champagne problems
You told your family for a reason You couldn't keep it in Your sister splashed out on the bottle → Tom has sister Now no one's celebrating -> see US Weekly article
Dom Pérignon, you brought it No crowd of friends applauded Your hometown skeptics called it -> Tom family in a town in UK Champagne problems
You had a speech, you're speechless Love slipped beyond your reaches And I couldn't give a reason Champagne problems
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door November flush and your flannel cure "This dorm was once a madhouse" -> Taylor's Rhode Island house I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
How evergreen, our group of friends -> Taylor & Tom mutual friend Don't think we'll say that word again And soon they'll have the nerve to deck the halls That we once walked through
One for the money, two for the show -> practically Tom Taylor relationship I never was ready, so I watch you go -> they broke up after the proposal rejections Sometimes you just don't know the answer 'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride -> Tom family and friend like Taylor What a shame she's fucked in her head, " they said But you'll find the real thing instead -> Tom eventually engaged with another person around 2020/2021 She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
And hold your hand while dancing -> Taylor & Tom dancing in Met Gala Never leave you standing Crestfallen on the landing With champagne problems
Your mom's ring in your pocket Her picture in your wallet You won't remember all my Champagne problems
You won't remember all my Champagne problems
This is just theory based on Taylor Swift public personal life, her songs, her video's clip of her songs. Taylor Swift is music industry, one of the biggest singers in today's generation. So, until Taylor release "tell all" books, rumors, fans theory will never be subsided.

God or Devil: Septimus Prime's thoughts on the Age of Heroes
"Unhappy, the land that breeds no heroes?"
Septimus Prime would say: nay. German Marxist playwright Bertolt Brecht put it succinctly. "Unhappy, the land that is in need of heroes." Or to quote Frank Hebert, "no more terrible disaster could befall your people than to fall into the hands of a hero".  Septimus learned the meaning of this firsthand. Thanks to her and the early Circle of Light's heroics, the Darklanders of Cybertron's south - who she had brought (at times, forcibly) under the national identity of 'Kaoner' - did not simply throw off the yoke of the marauding 'Demons' and stop there. A Kaoner holy war for possession of the Matrix began, with her as both its hero and demagogue. In large part, Iacon won their defense against this and established a dynasty of ruling Convoys, heroes and demagogues in their own right- leaving the Kaoner hero of Septimus to become remembered as a devil elsewhere. In Septimus's experience, the way of individual heroism by a charismatic leader led to an aggressive, expansionist nature, then merely servility and complacency in those that the hero 'saves', and finally their subjugation by another 'hero'.
The widespread re-emergence of Talents is particularly problematic in that they exacerbate this Cybertronian problem of individual heroism and charismatic leadership. But in addition, they reify it as a measurable, observable, and concrete thing. One can easily point to a powerfully Talented individual as being fit to lead, and they control many social institutions as a result. Through what is often no fault of their own, through an accident of birth, Talented individuals are leading to the alienation of the Talentless from politics.
As such, a liberal democratic republic like the Commonwealth is slowly becoming a warlord state. Already, the Decepticons possess vast powers outside of the rule of law. Through mobilizing Talented individuals, they erode the authority of the state and its monopoly on violence. Decepticon sect-leaders do not derive their power from popular acclaim. Rather, they derive it from being to overpower, manipulate and otherwise subdue their subordinates. Warlords also exist outside of the Decepticons, such as the Arsonist of Caminus, Incinerator.

Well, yesterday I finished the book The Divine Feud: Bette and Joan and I have some thoughts. (Don't expect this to be a professional review, these are just my conclusions)
Tumblr media
Starting off, the author makes a narration about their childhoods, backgrounds, families and how they got to Hollywood. Bette's story is the typical one of those actresses of Broadway that went on to Hollywood to pursue stardom. And compared to Joan, her home was more stable.
Now Joan's childhood it's one of the saddest things I ever heard about. It just made me want to hug that little girl. Like terrible, awful. To the point that those early years always haunted her until the day she died (in my opinion).
Both were pretty different actresses, we all know how they became famous and what their careers were.
Concerning the Feud (which in the majority is one-sided, imo) it clearly started with the Franchot drama. I still don't know why Bette got bitter with Joan in the first place when she was the one stealing her boyfriend. So alright?
In the Warner's era, Joan tried so hard to be pals with her, even flirting and giving her gifts but she never won her over. Bette always treated her like a talentless woman, who couldn't reach her level. Which is repeated by Bette on several occasions. And those statements would feed Joan's insecurities over the years.
Tumblr media
But in those years Joan would rise and Bette's career started to go downhill, which made her increase her competitiveness towards her.
Tumblr media
Joan wasn't ever successful at making her a friend. And she tried hard, for years. But Bette couldn't trust her, her Joan Crawford "persona was too fake" . And Bette considered herself "too frank".
Now both of them had their own crisis in the 50s about their aging, and how that affected them personally, and in their egos. I think Joan was the one who suffered more in that department. Her fame and stardom had started on the foundation of her beauty and looks. Which she then proved herself that wasn't necessarily the case, she was talented and a good actress. But getting old made her bitter at some point and she recluded herself in alcohol. But thankfully she met Alfred and he loved her just like who she was. He not only taught her a lot of new things, but he gave her new responsibilities that would give her the opportunity to show to the world that not only she was a good actress, but also a business woman.
Tumblr media
Bette had her own demons, and those were her husbands. Violent sons of bitches. All of them were rotten. But she was also her worst enemy. She pushed people away, and got mad at them, holding grudges for years. To the point she would make up stories (from the evidence shown in the book), and get violent too.
Getting closer to the Baby Jane era, the filming went better than what it's shown in the book. The author added too many unfounded rumors. Not only here but over all in the book. In some of them he admits it's not known if it's true and in others he just states them as facts.
Tumblr media
What's true is that Joan wanted to look prettier for the film and Bette was having none of it, and she hated the Pepsi publicity. So slowly she started to get less patient with her. What surprised me to read was that Joan in the middle of it was crumbling down because she felt she looked terrible. Both of them were kind of shocked by their appearance, and how they were aging (again).
There's a snippet when a member of the crew tells the story that Bette was bad mouthing Joan and the door of her dressing room was opened so Joan heard everything. (So that was interesting) 
Tumblr media
Bette didn't want to watch the movie at first until Joan insisted and then she realized it was a good film. They were so afraid that it was going to bomb. And no one believed in their project until it became a hit.
After the filming ended Joan avoided being around Bette unless it was impossible to do so. She couldn't handle her.
About the Oscars stuff, Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, we all know how it went down. The latter was an obvious revenge from Bette after the Oscars thing. She had deliberately decided to attack Joan on her weakness to make her crack . She made comments about her age, and her acting making her insecure in front of the camera.
Tumblr media
In the book, the author it's not completely sure if Joan had pneumonia or not. There's different sources and doctors having different opinions. So we don't know for sure she was sick.
That movie was damned since the first day. They shouldn't have agreed to it. Bette had made up her mind about what to do with Joan. 
As they aged, both were lonely. Although Joan is portrayed as the "lonely" one. Bette would spend time on her own too, she had arguments with her family and friends, so she recluded herself from time to time.
I think Joan was a very insecure person, who impressively survived the terrible childhood that she had. She decided she was going to be a star and she made it with blood, sweat and tears. But that didn't mean that the fight was ever over. She had to deal with constant pain, criticism, pressure, hatred, and her own lack of self love. She went through periods of time when she would involve herself with terrible people who would use her. Not only Men but even her own family. And she always searched for approval, affection and a stable home, those things that she didn't have when she grew up. She was damaged by that, but she wasn't ever bitter or a terrible person that sometimes people want to portray her as. She was so caring, generous and attentive to those who were close to her. A professional, and humble woman that was great to work with. Just a dear.
Tumblr media
Bette had decided she was going to be someone important. From the day she was born. She even said she was the man of the house and that's how she always went through life. She was talented, ambitious, intelligent, clever, funny... But when her ego was big... Boy oh boy. There's so many situations that were told in this book... You got to read it hahaha. She was honest, but that honesty could fail, when she wanted to have the upper hand on something or someone. She would never let anyone push her around nor shut her up. She was going to talk and everyone had to listen. Honestly a fucking legend.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Maybe some of you might disagree on some statements here and that's alright. These are just my opinions. I recommend this book. It made me laugh, cry, gasp and idk... Blew my mind sometimes. Hollywood stories are WILD. Their love affairs are insane. Like… The tea was delicious.

I’ve got an odd follow up. Why do you think Garth Ennis is a hack? Like, I’m legit curious. Spill your hot leaf water.
How the fuck are you writing about super-heroes while obviously hating everyone but the Big Three
He isn't a TALENTLESS hack, which makes it even worse. Preacher is a genuinely good book, but the man is so consumed by his hatred and need to take heroes down his writing quality skydives.
I have the same problem with Mark Millar and Alan Moore, but at least Alan Moore stopped writing cape shit.
As crazy and wacky as Frank Miller is, at least he seems to genuinely care.
