No offense but I imagine the Lin Kuei might have had a bit of an issue with the language barrier given Tomas probably didn't speak English and assuming he did, it was probably broken English.

Bi-Han and Kuai are just staring at him trying to decipher what the fuck he's saying and it's a really bad first impression and utterly cringe worthy because Tomas is tripping over himself trying to sound coherent and it's backfiring.

I’m here for the language barrier as Tomas comes from a totally different culture than Lin Kuei, however considering how little we know about his family, especially why they were so far away from home (Prague), I’m not sure if Tomas even spoke English before he was adopted by Grandmaster. The BIO and intro dialogues doesn’t paint one, coherent picture why they were hunting[*] on Lin Kuei territory, but as Smoke’s ending points out, he was with Lin Kuei for around 15 years (“It was looking at myself, fifteen years ago. I would've ended up just like him, if Lin Kuei hadn't taken me in”). We do not know how old Tomas is during the events presented in story mode, but I think assuming he is in his 20s is a safe bet and thus there is a real chance he was less than 8-10 years old when his family died. Again, we have no idea why Tomas’ family traveled so far from Europe, but if they were hiding from something or someone, they could on purpose avoid contact with people and in result Tomas had not an opportunity to learn different language(s) outside of his native one. Of course, he could attend school at some point before his family moved on to Asia or the parents could teach him English or any other language just in case, but we have no idea how Tomas’ life looked nor how well educated he was. So I wouldn’t cross out the possibility Tomas spoke only Czech - the same as we do not have an idea when Bi-Han and Kuai Liang started learning English, as this is not their native language either.

But the most important thing is, Tomas being unable to speak English or communicate with Grandmaster’s sons is hardly the first - and bad - impression he would make on Kuai Liang and Bi-Han. He was a kid who witnessed the death of his family and then was forced to live with a clan responsible for this merciless act. As we know Tomas as a kid did not consider being adopted by Grandmaster as anything good, he could on purpose refuse to learn the dialect used by Lin Kuei** and/or talk in any other language than his own native one - or show his justified resentment in more drastic ways. The communication barrier was, as I imagine, only partially created by lack of skills and more by lack of will to interact with the murders of his family.

So I think Tomas on his own wanting to communicate with Kuai Liang or Bi-Han, no matter how broken his English or Lin Kuei dialect was, could be seen as a great improvement compared to his resentment, anger, maybe agression and generally speaking trauma.

That said, I’m pretty sure there is plenty of hilarious stories about their earliest attempts at communication. Sadly, tie-in material does not provide any anecdotes about that :(

[*] Tomas' family hunting as a means for survival or hunting solely for fun builds a very different impression of who they were.

[**] I don’t have an idea what exactly language Lin Kuei use on daily basis, just throwing here an idea that since they live in hiding for centuries, their speech patterns could be considered as outdated compared to the official language(s) of China (as I assume Lin Kuei are still somewhere there stationed) and after such long time of isolation from world, Lin Kuei has their own unique dialect.

#mortal kombat #my replies #tomas vrbada #smoke #lin kuei #kuai liang #bi han4 #look i get why using english as a common language make everything easier #but i'm here for characters speaking in their native languages #and especially tomas speaking czech as europe culture is not just that damn english

TW: abuse and bulimia

Steve feels super weird about his dad, His dad beats him, neglects him, and made fun of Steve's body until he became bulimic. But for maybe about a week out of the year they get along.

Before steve's mom left his dad was a great dad that Steve looked up to. After the divorce his dad went insane but Steve never stopped seeing his dad as a role model. He always blamed himself for his dad's anger, that he was to bad of a son or that he was to ugly. Steve started acting more and more like his dad, harsh, irrational, but just enough moments of kindness to justify his agression. Steve's able to realize what his dad does isn't right which is why he isn't as mean as his dad but he still takes up alot of traits his dad has and hates himself for it

Steve wanted his dad to love him like he should but his dad never really did.

I'm still somewhat new to radical feminism, so excuse me if the question doesn't sound right but I tried articulating it to the best of my ability.

How do I approach the issues with the patriarchy without becoming a misandrist? I want to be able to recognize the issues without harshly judging the first man I see. I want to be careful but not prejudiced. I think anger is justified but I'm worried that I'll become paranoid, hateful and think that all men are out to get me, it wouldn't be good for my mental health. How do you balance it?

You can't be prejudice towards men. The word means ‘preconcieved opinion that is not based on reason or actual expereince’. Men’s hatred of women is based on their twisted idea of what women do and like a dozen bad stories between them. Their prejudice is based on their hate and dehumanisation of women such that they will always see us as lesser -not as smart or as funny or as amazing. Women’s hatred of men? That's based on statistics showing us just how awful men are and hundreds of awful experiences with men from catcalling to abuse to being insult to other men defending all of these actions. Hating your oppressor because they oppress you is not on the same level as hating an oppressed class because you think they're just lesser.

So tbh, there’s no way around it. Men are the problem. All men. Every single one. Because for every man who’s a rapist, there’s ten men who’ll defend him. For every man who’s an abuser, there’s a dozen who’ll defend him and a dozen more who won’t defend him but are still a shitty partner (eg: using weaponised incompetence, invalidating feelings, ignoring their partner, and a bunch of other things which are abusive but just make for an awful partner). And then there’s catcallers and men who get nasty after rejection and men who lie and manipulate to get what they want and men who disrespect women’s boundaries.

And also every single man benefits even if he doesn't see it. I had an argument with someone the other day over a TikTok where a woman said she was proud of her son comforting the mother of his kid after she stayed up all night to look after the kid. Providing emotional and physical support for your partner should be the bare minimum in a relationship but other people didn't see it that way. This person was insisting that the bare minimum wasn't being celebrated (because boasting about this on the internet for everyone to see and saying that this makes you proud of him isn't a celebration of his actions???) and that at least he wasn't a deadbeat. That's the way we judge men: yeah, he’s not the best but he’s better than those other men. That's why every man can be lazy in a relationship: women will always view it as better than being single, even if the men suck and are awful to them, women are told to stay and deal with it because at least he’s not abusive/a deadbeat dad/an even worse person.

So to answer your question: I don't balance it. I just hate men and see misogyny in every one of their actions. I loved my dad growing up and now I just see the weaponised incompetence that my mother is blind to and his lack of housework, especially for the mental load. I used to love my brother but now I see the beginnings of an incel if he’s not too careful and I also see a boy who benefited from the ‘boys mature more slowly’ and ‘men are allowed to be angry and agressive’ rhetoric and I see someone who continues to disrespect boundaries. I remember saying something to my sister when I was younger that I would never be surprised if he got an assult or domestic violence charge based on his behaviour (which, granted, did improve as I got older but he still has a violent/angry/aggressive streak which went almost completely unpunished) and the same is still true now. I didn't see these men who I love and trusted in the same or better light despite my growing feminist beliefs; I began to see them, much like every man, in a worse light. You cannot shut it off for a handful of men. It doesn't go away.

squilf, bramble and the hawk thing is probably my example of pre-avos bramble's fatal flaw.

he can't let go.

he's sus of hawkfrost, but he saw him and his friendliness. he went a bit like, "well, maybe he is more like me that i thought" (earlier on he'd been more hostile to hawk). it sort of shut down his earlier doubts and got in his want to find someone who he could connect with (on the topic of being tigerkin). squilf tells him that hawk is evil (true). he doesn't want to let go. then the hostilities between him and squirrelash. once again, he can't let go. he wants squilf to be with him, but he also refuses to acknowledge that hawk is evil, and refuses to apologize. it's 3 things. he won't let go of his hostilities over the hawk issue, he won't apologize, and he wants squilf to be with him even though he's being an asshole due to the hawk issue.

then it's all sunshine and flowers for most of PO3 until the 3's parentage is revealed, where bramble becomes angry (he is valid here. i cannot stress this enough holy shit). he ends up being unable to see past his newfound anger and sadness and complicated mess of emotions to see how him being bitter is affecting everyone and preventing them from making up. he also yells at her for yelling at leopardstar at a gathering despite agreeing with her point, which... well, he can't let go again. he agrees with the point, but he just hates her at this point and thinks bad-mouthing and insulting her is more important so he can get his revenge for being lied to (personally i think he should have just agressively bonded with jay and lion). then we wrap up with oots and then into bramble's character being fucking screwed over.

so. we have their 2 major pre-oots conflicts: hawkfrost (squilf correct; bramble being an asshole and refusing to accept reality) and the lie (bramble justified in his feelings; but he lets them control him and make things worse for everyone). post-oots his character gets thrown into a dustbin like tigerheartstar (or so i've heard), and that's a problem. he is objectively bad post-oots, but it's mostly bad writing imo.

feel free to correct mistakes i'm sure there's about 70 million of them. who knows maybe he is just an irrational asshole

Are you accepting orders? If yes, could you do mine? Please... What would be the reaction of Yanderes! Vil, Epel, Azul, Malleus, Riddle and Jack when they saw their beloved being courted, flirted by some guy? Would they be jealous or possessive, if possible would they do romantic acts?

Yandere! Twst Boys react to Some d u d e Flirting with Reader!

Vil

Vil is in disbelief that anyone would try and steal his beloved crush out from under him. And right it front of him no less!!

He is perfect and nobody else could ever come close to being as incredible as he is. Vil will just have to show you that.

Starting by publicly ruining the idiot who tried flirting with you. Once his reputation is throughly in the mud where his kind belong Vil can take the next step.

Vil will then spend his time preening and ensuring that he presents himself perfectly for the moment where he will step in and sweep you off your feet and away from the filth who think that they can claim what is already his.

Epel

Epel is frustrated and angry by this random guy sauntering in and trying to flirt with his crush. No way in hell is Epel going to just sit back and let this scumbag act all superior.

So Epel would step in between you and the random person and very loudly, in his natural (coughcough*feral*coughcouch) voice tell the dude off. Making sure that he knows you are Epels and Epels alone.

He'd then drag you far away from the guy all the while gently chastising you for allowing that man to even attempt and say such things to you. Epel would sound so much like a disappointed mom that you can't help but tell him you're sorry for how you acted.

Epel would happily let you make up for your bad behaviour by taking him out on a date and spoiling him in the praise and love he deserves for being your strong man.

Azul

Azul is quite possessive so his response is to immediately extract you from the situation to allow him more time to get rid of the threat.

He'd be the most likely to increase his presence in your life and shower you with praise and gifts. Azul must make sure he's the clear better choice for your boyfriend

After the dude flirts with you Azul would track him down and try and get him to sign a contract with him.

The easiest way to eliminate the competition for your heart is by enslaving all people who try and take you away from him.

Malleus

Malleus is having none of this behaviour. He would stand behind the random guy and scowl, the sky flashing with green lightning, threatening this interloper without saying a word

He's not going to spare this guy from his anger at all. Malleus wants him to piss his pants in fear. All so that they never even think about flirting with Malleus's treasure ever again.

After that Malleus would whisk you away and ask you about what happened with that guy. And if you don't react appropriately then Malleus is not above vaugely threatening the people you care about in order to give you incentive to stay loyal to him.

Malleus would also increase his displays of affection, especially where plenty of people can see. Unfortunately for you and fortunately for Malleus, this scares away pretty much everyone who dares to even look at you.

Riddle

Riddle would be furious with the person flirting with his crush and he makes no secret of it to anyone. He would immediately collar the guy dumb enough to flirt with you.

After he scared away the competition he would simply go about his day as normal but he would be a little bit more clingy compared to usual

If you confronted Riddle on collaring the guy he would either use a preexisting rule or even make one up on the spot. Anything to justify what he's done and keep you unaware of his darker thoughts

Riddle isn't the most romantic person but the incident spurs Riddle to try his best to court you more agressively. If only to scare away any other suitors, so expect quite a few bouquets with invitations to tea.

Jack

Jack is a notoriously strong and protective, so anyone who even tries to flirt with his crush should expect to be confronted immediately.

He knows he should at least try and use his words first. So he'd tell the random person that he doesn't appreciate what they were doing and they should definitely back off.

If Jack giving them a verbal warning wouldn't deter them then Jack would snarl and growl like the strong wolf he is.

Congrats! You now have a very large, possessive wolf boy wrapped around your finger and acting as an agressive bodyguard, scaring away everyone who even so much as looks at you.

---

I don't really write yandere too often but I think this turned out okay. Hope you enjoyed!

Signed,

Admin Tea

I'm curious, if Reader died or got knocked out in last fic with Poly!Spirit and Sen-

Reader is alive, just passed out from pain! The reason it happened so quick and without much effort from Spirit is cause, you know, demon powers. I know this isn't a request for a part two and was just a simple question buttttttt I'm extra as fuck and I wanted to do one anyways, so I'll just get it over with here! Hope you all enjoy!

Request status : open! 💕

tw !!! Be careful guys, Senpai goes a little crazy in this one lolz

( :̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅)

Spirit couldn't help but feel a great deal of pity as he glanced over at Senpai. The look of fear and uneasiness on his face was clear as day, and he nervously played with his loose-fitting tie as he stared at (Y/N) who was unconscious on the bed. Chains held their arms and legs to the bedposts, so there was no chance of escaping.

Spirit hummed, giving (Y/N) an empathetic pat on the leg, before choosing to address Senpai. "I know this isn't the sight you wanted to come home to, but-"

"W-what happened to them? D-did someone hurt them?!" Senpai managed to sputter out, despite the fear eating his body alive. Spirit sighed, as he couldn't help but become slightly irritated as soon as Senpai lost his cool like he was now. Nothing could get done when you're overrun by panic, but he was glad he was at least there to keep everything together. "Did they..." Senpai paused for a second, his past fear slowly draining from his face, replacing it was an expression that even Spirit couldn't fully read. "Did they try something funny again...?" Senpai asked in a low tone, and Spirit made a small noise as his response. The room was consumed by silence for a few moments, before Spirit decided to answer his question for real.

"I suppose you could say that." He said calmly and quietly, not really caring to expose the whole truth of what (Y/N) had done just yet. If Senpai asked for clarification or specification, then he would absolutely tell him, but he just didn't see it as needed at the moment. Senpai groaned in annoyance, stomping on the floor a single time. Spirit only rolled his eyes.

He didn't even bother to take his eyes off of (Y/N)'s "sleeping" form as Senpai made his way towards the two of them, stopping in front of the bed and crossing his arms. "What did they do?" Senpai asked quietly, almost in a whisper, in a tone that implied that maybe he didn't even want to know, but was just simply curious. Spirit shrugged.

"It was nothing too painful, just a punch to the nose. It didn't even hurt for a minute, really." Senpai looked at the entity standing next to him in a mixture of shock and disgust, absolutely baffled by the fact that their darling (Y/N) would ever do something like to that to either of them. He just didn't get it, and frankly, neither did Spirit. Really, they were just trying to help, but their (Y/N) just wasn't listening. It made things so much more tedious than they needed to be. Senpai growled to himself and made his way onto the bed. Spirit looked on in confusion, arching an eyebrow as he watched Senpai set himself down on (Y/N)'s chest, straddling it. He adjusted his position slightly, wriggling to make sure he was in the most comfortable position possible, before raising his hand to above the side of his head and bringing it down forcefully and quickly, slapping (Y/N) in the right cheek. Spirit even flinched himself, as the slap was hard enough to make a loud sound on impact.

However, Spirit couldn't feel too bad. He did try warning (Y/N). Senpai would be a lot harsher on them than he ever would be.

(Y/N) gasped as they woke up from their unconsciousness, Senpai glaring down at them as he watched them do so. It took them about a minute for their eyes to fully adjust to everything going on at the moment, especially since what caused them to wake up was so...violent...

"Well...good morning, honey." Senpai said through gritted teeth, and (Y/N) instinctively tried raising their arms, only for them to be held back by the chains. They swore at Senpai and demanded for either him or Spirit to release them, but that did nothing but anger Senpai further.

"You're lucky me and Spirit as so nice to you, if you were acting this bratty towards anyone else, your throat probably would've been sliced..." Senpai snicked sadistically, only for his slight amusement to completely vanish as (Y/N) leaned up towards him and spit in his face.

Senpai stumbled back, instinctively grabbing a tissue off the bedside table and wiping his face quickly and roughly while whining in disgust. Spirit bit his lip and took a step back, fully expecting Senpai to completely lose his shit within the next few seconds. Senpai began to hyperventilate, looking at the tissue with a look of pure distain. Senpai suddenly slammed the tissue to the side and pulled the table drawer open, his eyes set on a certain black rectangle. He pulled it out and held it up so (Y/N) could see it, and their eyes widened with fear and regret, instantly recognizing it as a taser.

"Do ANYTHING like that again, and this is going straight into your neck, understand?! God, how many times do we have to fucking TELL YOU, (Y/N)?!" Senpai screamed, punching the sides of the bed harshly. (Y/N)'s breathing was quick and heavy, the fear on their face as clear as day. Tears pricked at the corners of their eyes as they were reduced to the bearer of Senpai's rage, Spirit standing in calm silence as Senpai yelled on about what they had been trying to tell (Y/N) for almost a year now.

"You're so fucking GULLIBLE! Without us you'd probably be fucking dead on the side of the road! You think you can just go do whatever the fuck you want with whoever, and then treat us like we're fucking disposable trash?! You sick WORM." Senpai went on and on, even at one point grabbing (Y/N)'s shoulders and shaking them harshly. He was pissed, and Spirit saw his anger as justified. "We're doing this all for YOU! We love YOU! We NEED you, and you need US!" Tears began to fall from Senpai's eyes just as (Y/N) began fearfully sobbing as well, but Senpai's tears were more of frustration and anger than crippling fear. "We love you (Y/N), please, we just want to take care of you, you're our everything! Please!" Senpai choked back sobs as (Y/N) continued crying themselves. "Nobody else can love you like we do, they just can't keep you safe like we can, we'd do anything for you, we just want you to be happy..." Senpai sniffled, but (Y/N) didn't respond.

Spirit didn't feel bad for (Y/N). They wouldn't be here right now if (Y/N) would just learn how to listen. They were doing this for love, for repayment for all the effort (Y/N) put into making sure they were alive and well. (Y/N) saved them. Before Spirit knew it, Senpai seemed satisfied with the agressive lecture, and replaced his seething anger and flowing tears with a cutesy giggle and a wipe of the eyes. "You're just so hopeless, (Y/N)...but that's fine, some people just aren't meant to take care of themselves!"

It was almost scary how quickly Senpai could switch between moods, but who was Spirit to judge? Rejection was never in Sen's programming, and he was meant to be a hopeless romantic almost all of the time, so he really couldn't blame Senpai for having...less than stable moods.

"You're so lucky you have us dolly, where would you even be without us?" Senpai gushed, and Spirit couldn't help but agree. The two of them could tell (Y/N) clearly wanted to detest that, but they didn't care. Their input was irrelevant, since they didn't at all know what they wanted or needed.

Senpai hummed happily, curling (Y/N)'s lips upward in the shape of a smile with his finger. The skin of his digits were soaked at this point, as tears were pooling from (Y/N)'s eyes as they tried squirming away so desperately from his vice grip. Spirit cupped his one cheek with his hand and held (Y/N)'s trembling one in his other, smiling almost as brightly as Senpai.

They deserved this. They deserved something nice after that that bastard put them through. And, this was it. Their present, their compensation, their reward.

Their soulmate.

Senpai giggled, and Spirit followed soon after, the two of them looking at each other as if they were reading the others thoughts perfectly. Senpai turned to (Y/N), that smile still just as strong as it was before.

"Now, go on...tell us you love us~"

I really love how much of Faith there is in S6, and I mean that completely seriously. She's a constant unmentioned figure, haunting the narrative. The central ideas of her character become the central ideas of the season, and for Buffy's character specifically.

Faith is such an interesting figure because despite appearing in less than thirty episodes across both shows, she’s one of the most important characters for reflecting both leads, but especially Buffy for obvious reasons. She's Angel's mentee figure, the representation of how good desire to right his own wrongs and give others a chance to do the same can reciprocally save him. And she's Buffy's dark mirro, representing who Buffy could be if she surrendered to the mercy of her circumstances. Faith’s status as Buffy’s distorted mirror image is constant throughout the show. Cordelia was Buffy’s first shadow self, but Faith owns that role, long after she stops appearing regularly.

The season opens for Buffy with her hand stretching up out of her grave, with a visual almost identical to Faith’s dream in This Year’s Girl. You could almost see Buffy’s ressurection as akin to Faith waking from her coma to find a world that has left her behind. They both wake up alone and stagger around town, finding themselves at the burned-out site of the previous season’s finale, and both their initial instincts are to destroy their bodies - Faith by disappearing into Buffy's, and Buffy by leaping off the tower again.

Throughout the season, Buffy exhibits a lot of Faith-like behaviour. A big one is using sex as a coping mechanism. Buffy instigates an unhealthy sexual relationship with Spike to stave off her depression and hide it from others. Faith uses agressive sexuality to intimidate others and keep her pain hidden (see her initially attempting to seduce the Mayor to avoid accepting his paternal affection, or instigating sex with Xander in response to his attempts at emotional connection). Both are prone to violence against their sexual partners too - Faith with Xander in the same scene and Buffy with Spike multiple times. Like vampires, the Slayers seem inclined to conflate sex and violence (I'll let the fact that they are both prone to violence against each other speak for itself). In her dream in Dead Things, Buffy mixes up seeing Katrina's corpse and having sex with Spike in a blurry whirlwind of sex and death, bringing this conflation to the forefront.

It's also worth noting that Faith is implied in many ways to be a victim of sexual abuse, and it's in this season that Buffy experiences an attempted rape. Both are caught up in that cycle of abuse, and thankfully they manage to both escape.

And then there's the suicidal ideation. Oh god, the suicidal ideation. There's a few examples of characters being self-destructive or sacrificial in a way that evokes suicide (Angel springs to mind in multiple instances), but it's only Faith and Buffy in S6 (and parts of S5 to be fair) that explicitly grapple with this. Buffy's arc in S6 is basically her grappling with suicidal ideation, and struggling to actually want to be alive. Faith attempts suicide multiple times - metaphorically in This Year's Girl and literally in Five By Five, when she attempts suicide-by-copvampire-detective. I would even argue that Graduation Day is another example of attempted suicide-by-slayer, given that she actively goads Buffy to kill her (and therefore become her), and seems almost relieved and proud when she seemingly does so.

The kicker is really Dead Things. This is such a vital episode for understanding Buffy in S6, and it is absolutely dripping with Faith parallels. It's almost a Frankenstein episode, made up of bits of other Faith-centric episodes. The central conflict is the exact same as Bad Girls, with a routine patrol (seemingly) killing an innocent bystander at the hands of a slayer. Spike has the same solution as Faith - dump the body and forget about it. He even uses the same utilitarian argument to justify it - that one lost life is meaningless, collateral damage, against the many that Buffy has saved. But it's Buffy who is in Faith's shoes, struggling with the idea that she killed someone. Ironically, her solution - to hand herself over to the police - is in fact the same solution Faith eventually comes to in Sanctuary. At this point in time, that was the last thing we saw Faith do in the Buffyverse, and now Buffy herself reaches for that same idea to try and achieve peace.

Her attempt to turn herself in can and should be read as a metaphorical suicide attempt. Her words to Dawn saying goodbye are pretty much a repeat of her words to Dawn before she jumps in The Gift (see @impalementation 's great post on this). She's been trying to recreate that feeling of exquisite peace all year, just as Faith repeatedly turns to metaphorical and literal suicide to find her own. That idea of "peace" being equated to both voluntary incarceration and suicide makes the ending to Sanctuary much darker, which makes me glad that Faith ends up taking an active role in the world by the end.

Buffy beating up Spike in the alley - himself a mirror to Buffy in many ways, and behaving identically to Faith in this episode - is lifted from Who Are You.

"Shut up! Do you think I'm afraid of you? You're nothing. Disgusting. Murderous bitch. You're nothing. You're disgusting."

- Faith Lehane, Who Are You, shouted while crying and punching someone on the floor, but obviously talking about herself.

"You don't have a soul! There is nothing good or clean in you. You are dead inside! You can't feel anything real! I could never be your girl!"

- Buffy Summers, Dead Things, shouted while crying and punching someone on the floor, but obviously talking about herself.

Both scenes come at the climax of an episode-long metaphorical suicide. Both strip away the characters' defenses and lay bare an unfiltered and messy psyche, dominated by anger and self-hatred.

So we can see that when Buffy is at her lowest, she becomes her own shadow self. Faith is in many ways a permanent part of Buffy's psyche, which comes up to the surface occasionally and has to be actively quashed (I'm thinking about her taking on parts of Faith's wardrobe along with her personality in Bad Girls, until the accident at which point she actively goes in the opposite sartorial direction). In her post-ressurection depressive haze, Buffy is simultaneously less connected to her own personhood and more emotionally volatile, so her shadow self is exposed, and that shadow self is Faith.

It gets extra interesting when you remember that Faith is The Slayer at this point. No new slayer is called when Buffy dies - nobody even suggests that one might be out there - which suggests that the sole Slayer line runs through Faith now, and Buffy is an abberation. (S7 kind of confuses the issue when it suggests that the First will have to kill Buffy last, but it makes more sense to ignore that than to ignore this). The Slayer is a core part of Buffy's identity, one that she ambivalently pulls away from and grabs on to - but technically it belongs to Faith now. In S6 Buffy loses connection to her identity, and so becomes an echo of Faith, who owns that part of her now.

Going even further - Faith only exists as The Slayer at all because of Buffy's first death. Slayers are kind of an undead like vampires in a way - they can only ever exist because someone else dies. They live because of death. Faith is the walking, talking corpse of Buffy, a reborn figure given purpose by death, for death. Buffy in S6 is experiencing her own kind of un-life, as depression so often feels like. She too feels like the walking, talking corpse of Buffy. The Slayer, Faith, and Buffy are all caught in their own purgatory, born out of death and unable to see anything but death in their near future.

It's just so much fun to pick apart this season and see how it relates to this seemingly unrelated character. Faith feels like a major presence in a season that she doesn't appear in - and I'm not sure even explicitly mentions her - solely thanks to how effective a lens she is to view the main character. Now that's effective connection of character and theme.

Alec is valid for his anger issues. People don't understand how coming from an abusive household can make you agressive, but just, urgggh

Not to rationalise/justify bad anger management, but very very true.

Choi Yeonjun's Personality

-A Tarot Reading

Disclaimer: These readings are for entertainment purposes, my words are not the gospel and my readings does not justify the future actions of the idol.

Deck used: Light Seers Tarot

Overall Personality

The Hierophant, King of Pentacles (Reversed)

—He's like that two goody shoes boy gone wrong lmao, let me put it in an example like stealing ice cream for a store but it turns out he's gonna give it to a starving child in the alley. That's the kind of personality he has, he has beliefs set straight and will not change it to any means, if he thinks this is wrong despite of what others think it's still WRONG for him, a family person, and wonders about the world so much, has many weird thought but the thing is he can be rash sometimes and be too obsessive, agressive and be too carefree about life, he's a very surprising person, spends money often.

Persona that he doesn't show on camera

Queen of Wands, 3 of Cups (Reversed)

—Although he may appear extroverted and like the person who always parties, he wants to have an alone time too, like a hibernation period for like 5 months lmao. He wants to experience life sometimes on his own too without any people surrounding him, maybe going to a resthouse that is near nature, he wants to have fun without people restricting him what to do He may do things that he doesn't like just for the sake of people around him, he says yes to almost everything because he values what people think about him much, he wants to feel alone and free without eyes preying on him.

Shadow Side

Temperance (Reversed), Judgement

—He can be your worst enemy but also your most trusted friend, he's a scary person to against with. He has many connections and will go in any means just to f*ck you up when you push his button, he will not listen to anyone besides his gut and anger. A different person when you mess with him or a person that is important to him, as he is passionate t in everything that he achieved, and he can be also the type to go into physical fights

Persona around Peers

The Sun, Six of Wands

—Honestly this is so cute, he cheerful and very supportive to his friends, kinda similar to Huening Kai that will go his way to make someone happy (I have already made a Personality reading for all of the members, I'll post the rest of them when I have the time). He helps them whenever he could, and the friend that would surprise or treat you when you feel off or down. He talks often about his friends to everyone and boasts them, he tries to be happy for them.

Terry drunkenly confessing feelings to reader, Pleaseee, I'm begging you babe💕💕💕(sorry for spamming your askbox, I love you)

Terry, when in an inebriated state, tended to be blunt.

Blunt to the point of actual, genuine discomfort.

In opposition to his usual controlled, calculative self, he tended to blurt out the truth sans filter, in it’s absolute, straight-faced, no nonsense, no slurring, no swaying, no playing around, no strategy, no hesitation - no, none of that - just the concentrated, undiluted essence of harsh honesty rolling off of the tip of his tongue enforced by liquor of any variety, Terry Silver avoided getting fully intoxicated like the plague by choice, even though he wasn’t terribly keen on passing up a daytime dosage of champagne or Cognac when he could. In the sauna, in the bath, in the steam-room, at a gala event, in the limo, after a meeting - whenever. All in moderation, though. Golden middles. All that nonsense. He had a figure and a regiment to uphold. Anything but that, he found coarse. Unprofessional. Unbecoming. Humiliating even. There was no room for logic and self-restraint when alcohol was involved and if he loathed anything, it was being put in a situation where he wasn’t perfectly pulling the strings of his own reasoning. Where his carefully attuned senses were in jeopardy. Endangered. On shaky teutonic-plates. He could see the practical benefits of getting someone else drunk for whatever nefarious purpose. The reverse? No.

But, the occasional accident did happen.

Much to his sorrow, he was only human after all.

Approaching you, like this, wasn’t smart. In fact, it was the move of an utter imbecile and even as he did he knew he’d have to deal with the fallout of this unfortunate evening another time, with extra care. He’d come up with some spin on it. He always did. He’d construct an alibi for himself. Wash out his own name in front of you and start anew. Roll the dice and make the next move and win, of course. For now, all he could do is stare. He tended to, when drunk. Terry Silver knew he was intense, even when sober. Something about him put people on edge and he was well aware. It amused him endlessly and it was a trait he abused to it’s fullest capacity. But, when under the influence, as they say, his habit tended to double. He was certain he could burn holes into the middle of your forehead from the unblinking pressure of his gaze on you alone and you did seem fairly put off by it. A bit vary, if anything. Uncertain. Even now, your reaction stroked his ego. You were up against a wall and he was merely standing there, glaring at you, trying to hold himself back from saying something unreasonable, unwise or compromising that’ll come back to haunt him later. He was really hoping he wouldn’t have to contact his lawyers after this encounter because they had enough on their hands as it was. Hitting the spritzer in the sauna was something he shouldn’t have done.

-”Thing is -”-

He went for it, feeling his nostrils flare in anger as he spoke.

Followed by a sharp, determined intake of breath.

Subjectively, akin to being prepared for a fight.

-”I’m worth exactly 191.5 billion in estimated revenue. Give or take, if the stock market prices remain the same in the next few months. And they will. I know they will. And if you have any taste, sense of self-preservation or sanity whatsoever, for the sake of posterity, you’ll do good by yourself and ditch this - this, what!? This nonsense little life you’re living and you’ll come away with me. And you’ll do it now. Right now.”-

He recited his tirade in one take and he was almost impressed himself mid-way through, feeling like motherfucking Hamlet on Broadway under the limelight - Terry Silver didn’t let Terry Silver down, partially entertained by his own bragging. By his blatant lack of humbleness. By his open, borderline passive-agressive bravado, as he leaned over you with one arm propped up against a wall, practically getting in your face. Of course, you only ever knew him as the kindly, polite karate teacher next door and not as what he actually was and judging by the expression on your face that went from shock, confusion and all the way to something he could only describe as being jovial or amused by his drunken antics, he concluded that you probably thought he was joking. That he wasn’t being serious. That he was parodying the stereotypical LA bigshot to tempt a smile to your face. Ah. Well. Maybe it was better that way. Maybe he didn’t even need an alibi. It was alibi enough that what he just said to you probably, he figured, sounded so unbelievable and made-up he didn’t even need a cover-up story to justify himself. Why was he saddened by it, though? You chuckled wholesomely and Terry felt his heart drop. The one time he was being almost disgustingly honest and he wasn’t believed for it, ironically. You innocently, teasingly pinched him and pushed him to the side and he almost wanted to grab you by the shoulders and shake some sense into you. Slap you, if need be.

Fuck you raw, optionally.

Didn’t you recognize a confession when you were faced with one?

-”Oh, Terry. Pshh. The things you say. You had too much to drink. Maybe it’s time to head back, huh? Best if you go and sleep it off, nice and slow. Okay?”-

You added with genuine care and he hated you for it.

You only saw the sweet, stupid Terry.

Not the real, actual one in front of you.

Fine then, he supposed - if it’s lies you preferred.

It’s lies you would proceed receiving just like before.

He no issue with it - in fact, lies were his comfort zone, if any.

A bubble he felt knowledgeable, safe and secure in - wrapped up in.

He showed you his truest self and you giggled it like it was hilarious.

Gritted teeth aside, Terry didn’t recall the last time he was this offended.

#terry silver #karate kid 3 #cobra kai #request #this is easily the most capitalist love confession i've ever written in my life #EVER #hshsh

So I noticed something...

I find it weird yet slightly cool how different Marinette and Adrien's ways of dealing with Lila are.

When Marinette met Lila in Volpina, her first reaction was to expose her in front of Adrien as Ladybug, and later after defeating her, she regrets her actions and apologizes to her. Lila of course, doesn't accept it.

In Heroes Day, she tries to counter Lila's lies through a video chat, but fails. The only other person who knows what she is going through and isn't even aware of it, is Adrien.

In Chameleon, Marinette got threatened by Lila face to face for the first time. She tried to call her out publicly, but no one believed her. She forgives her and accepts her fake offer of friendship. In the end, she made do with Adrien's advice on being quiet about the whole thing.

In Onii Chan, she follows her and Adrien into his house and tries to get inside and fails. She gets caught by Onii Chan thanks to Lila but succeeds in getting out with her brains and her Chat Noir.

In Ladybug, she is framed by Lila thrice. All the time she tries to explain to everyone sans Adrien that Lila is a bitch who is up to no good, and even Adrien and Alya's efforts are in vain. In the end, she does get back into school because Lila admitted that she has a lying disorder, and gave her another chance, which Lila brushed off again.

Adrien, on the other hand, made a mistake in believing Lila when she said she was the descendant of a fox superhero. It's kind of justifiable, since neither him nor Ladybug had met Master Fu yet and didn't know anything about the history of their powers. Yet, he was close with Ladybug and didn't think twice about the fact that she would have told him about another superhero.

In Heroes Day, his role with Lila was limited. All he can do is shake his head sadly as she continues to lie.

In Chameleon, he tries to give her another chance. He asks her nicely not to lie to him again, and that he is not judging her. Of course, this doesn't go well. He becomes Chameleon's first victim, and once again as Chat Noir.

Adrien realises that Lila can be extremely petty for her own good, and learns to be wary of her, even though he thinks she is essentially harmless.

He becomes afraid for Marinette's sake, though. Because as far as he is concerned, Marinette hasn't seen all the sides of Lila like he has. He isn't aware Marinette and Ladybug are the same person. And somehow, the class' cleverest person has figured out that Lila's words are bogus. He doesn't know how she did it, but he knows Marinette will be in danger if she tries to expose her.

Lila got akumatised because of him nicely calling her out, and HE was the first person she targeted. What would have happened if Marinette had agressively called her out in front of everyone? Lila would have (willingly) gotten akumatised and gone after Mari on a much bigger scale. He also knew that nobody was in the right state of mind to believe Marinette.

So Adrien wasn't defending Lila, or being a doormat, as flawed as his advice was. He was protecting Marinette.

In Oni Chan, since Adrien is a good guy, he agrees to help Lila, since she seems to be in need of it. He was only planning on helping Lila out at school though. He tells her plenty of times that his father would never allow visitors, and is taken aback when Lila lies her way into his house, effectively getting Natalie and the Gorilla into trouble with his father. Even then, Adrien believes that she wants attention and that getting them into trouble was not her intention.

But when Chat Noir sees that Lila hates Ladybug so much that she would leave her to get caught by a supervillain she made a deal with, he truly realises that Lila Rossi isn't just a petty, mean, desperate liar. Oh no, she is far more dangerous than that.

He finally openly berates her as Chat Noir and uses her with Ladybug's help to defeat Oni Chan, who was Kagami akumatised because of Lila.

The next day, Adrien is absolutely fed up with Lila and her lies. He gives her a weak reason, that she got Natalie and the Gorilla into trouble to mask the real reason, that she messed with both Ladybug and Kagami.

"Lila, you can always count on me, as long as you don't hurt the people I love." That's Adrien Agreste politely saying, "Fuck off, bitch." ladies and gentlemen.

In Ladybug, what Adrien feared came true. Lila finally went after Marinette and despite his efforts, actually succeeded. Getting sidetracked by Mayura and Hawkmoth was not going to stop him from giving Lila exactly what she deserves.

He marches up to her- after she had somehow wormed her way into a photoshoot with him- and tells her straight up that he is absolutely done with her messing with his loved ones, and Marinette was the last straw. He makes a deal with her. She gets to be around him and his father's brand as long as she gets Marinette back into school, not by telling the truth, because Adrien has realised getting called out will not make Lila stop, but lying her way into it again. He makes her lie that she has a lying disorder so that no one will believe her words anymore. Oh and also, she must leave his Marinette alone. Mess with Marinette, and she'd have to face his wrath.

He did all that without raising his voice.

That is both clever, selfless and sad, because Adrien's self esteem issues come into play. He sees himself as someone dispensible, some replacable, someone no one would even guess would intend to make a deal as twisted as this. But it actually works in his favour, and that's incredibly heartbreaking.

The irony is, Marinette was the one who saw Lila for who she is since the beginning. And yet, she has failed over and over again, where Adrien succeeded.

Marinette keeps on holding on to her anger at Lila since the moment she met her, and thus she is unable to find a way to get rid of her other than try to expose her and/or make a truce with her. That anger is holding her back from seeing how Lila operates.

Unlike Marinette, Adrien got to learn what Lila was like step-by-step. Girl with a crush on him -> Desperate wannabe for attention -> Dangerous, petty bitch -> Manipulative, cruel psychopath.

He wasn't angry with Lila until the third stage, and thus he was able to see through her motives with clearer eyes. He never uses the same method over and over again like Marinette. He began with believing her lies gullibly ->to being forgiving -> to being wary of her -> to warning her -> to outright berating her and selling himself in a deal to protect Marinette. He learnt from the mistakes he made. He gave Lila too much room and now he has her pegged down. (He is a lot more like Gabriel than you think and that genuinely scares me)

Marinette- 10

Adrien- Infinity

Lila - negative infinity (Ha, you thought you could mess with Ladybug and Chat Noir? YOU THOT)

I’ve been thinking a lot about fandom dynamics those past few days after the whole debacle on Twitter around David’s treatment of his actors. It’s been...tiring, but interesting, too.

I’ve been quite vocal about my dislike of some plotlines this season of Skam France. It would be hypocritical of me to criticize people for being negative. Also I believe it’s important - and enjoyable - to engage with the media we consume critically. And as I blog about my experience watching live, I’m giving my honest reactions, and sometimes I’m plain angry or not enjoying it.

But it worries me that there are a lot of people who don’t seem to see the difference between expressing dislike for a plotline/criticizing its potentially harmful effects on one hand, which I think is important and normal (especially when you’re directly concerned by the representation!) ; and spreading rumors about a director creating an abusive work environment for his actors and forcing them to do things they don’t want to do. On one hand we’re talking about fiction, on the other about real people ! The latter is the type of shit that ruins lives and careers ! That is nowhere near the same thing ! (Not to mention it’s patronizing as shit to have people wanting to ‘defend’ minority actors when they never expressed a demand for it in the first place and you weren’t even there.)

I get the feeling that there are a lot of people who seem to mix up media consumption and political activism. Yes, good representation is important and media stereotypes can be harmful, but - it’s still just fiction ! there should be a sense of scale here ! Your fave creator messing up doesn’t mean he’s suddenly responsible for all the bigotry in the world and doesn’t justify him being treated like an enemy to be destroyed or some shit. There is some misdirected anger going on there, a lot of powerlessness too, I understand the underlying motivations and emotions very well. Especially when it comes to Skam, which makes people feel heard in a way they almost never are, and is so emotionally loaded. But I feel some people would do very well with using that energy to affect change in the world a bit more directly, instead of expecting somebody else’s creative vision to do it all for you, because that is a very powerless place to be in.

When real lives are at stake or will potentially be affected, you can’t just spread rumors around carelessly and blame it on misinformation. Social media is a public place. You can’t just act without any thought about consequences. You’re responsible for what you say. When receiving an information like that, you need at the very least to take a step back and check your sources.

That said, apparently the person who started those rumors also got a bit of a hate pile on too, which is nowhere near appropriate either, especially since she is a teenager. The fandom’s tendency to police itself by wildly overcorrecting in the other direction can feel so brutal at times. Instead of having a discussion, people start to treat each others as obstacles to eliminate. It’s so toxic. And I hate how much it happens around progressive media and how scary it makes it seem to be a creator nowadays. I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect any public facing person to cope with that sort of shit.

My takeaway is this : on social media, and especially in fandom, you are not acting alone. You’re not one individual expressing their opinion ‘as is their right’.

You’re part of a collective dynamic in a public space. So before sending an agressive message or tweet, ask yourself : would this still be okay if I sent it to the receiver a hundred times ? A thousand times ? You might think that one message is not a big deal, but before you know it, the person on the other hand is receiving a wave of hate, and that is something that must be horrible and completely disproportionate no matter who you are. The power dynamics here are not you vs. allmighty creator anymore. Are you comfortable with being part of a mob ?

I don’t think a lot of us are. It’s very easy to lose track of that aspect when you’re alone with your phone. And I’m not looking to blame anyone ; I’ve done and said things out of anger I am not comfortable with, looking back. I just hope this is something we can learn from going forward. Social media is still such a new thing, I think we’re all just learning as we go along. As long as we are learning.

SVT & Anger PT. 1

Anonymous said: Hi! I hope it isn't an uncomfortable question but I saw some posts about astrology and anger and is it possible to know how seventeen members deal with anger according to astrology (who gets angry more easily, who is open about it and who is passive-agressive etc.)?

this isn’t uncomfortable at all!! anger is a totally natural emotion/experience we all have and an interesting thing to look at astrologically!

Seungcheol: with a strong emphasis on leo he’s bound to be pretty expressive/out-spoken on things that may frustrate him so long as they’re pretty casual (may it be for dramatic effect or humor). but when it comes to more serious disagreements he’s more passive thanks to that diplomatic libra mars. he’s very reluctant to impose his anger onto others and puts more emphasis on opposing perspectives than his own hurt. he also has this sun sextile mars and moon square mars -- these placements get pent up/sensitive if they’re inactive for too long. he may find himself more sensitive if he doesn’t get his body moving in some way shape or form as movement really helps facilitate his ability to process these emotions/take things in stride.

Jeonghan: privacy and personal space are a huge thing with his scorpio mars. without enough alone time he’s bound to get INCREDIBLY uptight. with that, invading his personal space/privacy can really frustrate him. his libra also makes him very annoyed with people who come across as abrasive/insensitive. as for how he handles it, his libra makes him very diplomatic so he may struggle in deciding when it’s appropriate to let it out his frustrations which can add to this pent-up scorpio anger. it’s important that when he gets to that point, to find an outlet for it especially considering his moon square mars that can make him explosive if not kept in check. communication is going to help but also allowing himself to sit in his feelings may be a huge liberating step for him to take.

Joshua: so i actually went into this in his chart first impressions but tl;dr his afflicted moon really makes him very sensitive. but you throw in his very logical earth placements and this can make him very slow to anger so when HE DOES get angry it’s terrifying. to give more context, his strong emphasis on cap/taurus with his moon & mars means comfort/principals/respect plays a huge role in how he handles emotions/what makes him angry. taking away a point of comfort for him/putting him in an uncomfortable situation/forcing him to do something he doesn’t want to do will trigger this. with that, if he has time to unwind and eat something good he can let go of those feelings pretty well (tho he can certainly still hold a grudge).

Junhui: this guy is the most stubborn person when angry, like positively obstinate. taurus placements have a super weird dichotomy where they have such strong likes/dislikes and will absolutely stand by them till the day they die and really struggle to take opposing perspectives into account/are hard to get through to especially when their emotions are at their peak. with that, they’re generally pretty slow to anger especially with the people they like. the contradictory part about taurus placements is that this stubbornness/loyalty applies, even to the people they’re upset with. he’s the type to be the last person to give up on a relationship, and with that can be pretty potentially passive if there is discord within the group. he’s going to take that burden upon himself, especially because of how enduring taurus placements are that make them capable of doing so.

Hoshi: so hoshi is a weird mix of really reactive yet totally forgiving in anger. his gemini can get pretty easily riled up, especially if he’s being too aggressively challenged/not met with an argument he can agree on in principal, and so he doesn’t have many reservations about standing his ground on that regard. with that being said, all of that gemini is so naturally good at redirecting his attention and letting things go. he probably doesn’t feel the need to direct any energy towards grudges and honestly probably forgets so quickly why he was angry in the first place. then you throw in how well aspected his mars is to his outer planets and he has a strong sense of principal/emotions with these things. he has a surprisingly constructive view on how to handle anger, while also being very clear on his likes/dislikes.

Wonwoo: this guy is probably the slowest of all of svt to anger next to vernon. similar to cheol, he is pretty good at addressing anger in a playful way because of that leo. his cancer sun is very empathetic, then his emphasis on mercury/saturn/uranus/pluto in his kite makes him very level-headed and communicative. while this doesn’t have a direct relation to his mars, this strengthened mercury really speaks to his gemini mars and gives him that verbal outlet for frustrations that may arise. even if someone offends him, he’s good at taking it in stride and more than likely is telling himself “they’re probably experiencing something that justifies this anger, even if it’s uncalled for.” if he is going to get angry, it’s more than likely in regard to his pride/comfort/in defense of someone else.

Woozi: his virgo mars makes him very particular. he has his comfort levels established and they are there for a reason -- forcing him to do things he doesn’t want to do, in ways he doesn’t want to do them, or forcing him in unfamiliar environments really puts him on edge. he can be hypercritical, either to himself or others, in response to anger and will often try and counterbalance emotions by exerting control over something else (work). this is heightened by his mercury square mars which also makes him pretty snappy in anger and a bit of a control freak. this is reinforced by that scorpio influence, and then you throw in that aries moon and he’s pretty pretty stubborn/reactive in this sense. with that, there is the benefit in that he allows these emotions to flow relatively freely. he’ll experience the emotion, have his regular responses which can be honed to be constructive, and then move on.

you say you will leave the spn fandom because of all the toxicity and then you go around and reblog stuff with your positivity shtick. that's being more than passive-agressive. and fake. i guess you're just not capable of expressing any opinion of your own except that you liked the finale. and you're obsessed with the winchesters. because fuck cas right?

Lol, okay. I just about had it. I'm gonna answer this one and then I'm gonna turn off the anon asks, close my inbox. Listen, I really don't need to justify myself to any of you for having an opinion, but here we are. Once you all read this, please do me a favor and block me or unfollow if you disagree or want to fight more. Firstly – I said that I'm thinking about staying of tumblr for a while, and in the tags I've mentioned that I'm thinking about blacklisting the Supernatural tag because of all the negativity and toxicity. In the end I didn't, because guess what – I don't come to tumblr only for Supernatural stuff. Secondly – my positivity shtick? What the hell. I mentioned that in one tag (I actually had to go look for it), and it meant that I'm keeping the positive things I pulled or got from the finale and keeping it to myself. It is MY positivity. I didn't try to force it on anyone. Thirdly – I'm obsessed with the Winchesters. ... I don't even know how to answer this one. I am not obsessed with them, I have a Winchester preference, if you want to name it that way. I like Cass as a character, I do. And I love Misha. I just connected with the Winchesters more and that's my personal choice. I have faves in every show or movie I watch. In Supernatural, Sam and Dean are my faves. I have never said and will never say „fuck Cass“. I do not hate his character for fucks sake. And yeah, I am not a Destiel shipper so I'm not as invested in him or his connection to Dean as some of the people are, but that does not mean I was happy when he died or whatever else has happened to him throughout the show. On the matter of my opinion, fine. Here you go: I liked 15x19, even though the solution for dealing with God was a bit silly to me and maybe just... too easy? But hey, it happened and I liked the aftermath of it and the boys saying to him: You will grow old and you will be forgotten. Because that's a popular opinion in the old tales and myths etc., that that is the reason why there aren't any gods anymore. It's also basically in canon of the show? Remember the Paris Hilton episode? Remember the episode with all the other gods when Gabriel dies? Yeah. The thing with Jack being a power vacuum was messy because it wasn't really set up well, but it kind of worked. I've dealt with that and moved on. The finale – yes, I liked it. It made me really emotional to the point of ugly crying. I'm glad it did. One of my fears for the finale was that I just wouldn't get it or feel it and that this huge thing that has been a part of my life for the last 10+ years will just leave me feeling nothing. Luckily that did not happen. I've always had two ways the show could end in my head: 1. Sam and Dean being a sort of mentor figures to other hunters, like Bobby was to them. But still doing hunts, and basically riding off into the sunset in the Impala – because they have work to do. 2. Heaven ending. Yep. I was kind of leaning towards this one just because of everything that has happened in the show. There was no way that they both survive the final showdown and get to live happily ever after (even though they deserve it), but they would get to know peace in Heaven and finally be free. We kind off got a mix of both of these points, with them riding off into the sunset at the end of 15x19, and with them ending up in Heaven in 15x20. Some points I've seen thrown around I'm going to address so you can get my opinion as wanted. 1. Dean didn't deserve this ending Yeah, that is the whole fucking point. He did not deserve it and he got it anyway. Because that is just how life works sometimes. It's sudden and unexpected and it really isn't fucking fair. Just because we all love Dean and wanted better to him does not mean he would get it. He got to die by Sam's side, in the arms of someone he loves most in the world, his little brother and he got to say his peace. He was scared but he wasn't alone and he got to say his goodbye. Would I've liked it that both him and Sam got to grow old? Yes. Of course I would! Who wouldn't? But I also really understand this ending for him too. He died in a silly way. I'm sorry, but shall we count how many times they all could have died in an instant when they lose their weapons, get knocked over or pushed or whatever? We got a whole fucking episode about the sudden ways Dean can die (Mystery Spot) and we are still surprised that this could actually happen? It was sudden and unexpected and that was the whole point. One wrong thing happens and you are gone. And this time there is no one to heal you and bring you back because that is what life is. 2. Sam's ending I get this too. Dean made Sam promise, and Sam kept his promise. The woman was not seen properly, it wasn't Eileen etc etc. Also – that was the point. We got little flash-moments of his life to see that he lived it, he kept his promise to Dean. I understand people who are upset it wasn't done well (that wig was really atrocious) or that his wife wasn't Eileen, but I also understand the decision to not put focus on anything but Sam and his son. Concerning both their endings – people are saying – stupid endings because this is what the boys have always wanted or feared and it was exactly what they got. I get even that. What happened to Dean could have happened to him 10 years down the road. It could have happened to Sam. It could not have happened at all. It could have happened so that they both die on the same hunt. But the ending thought is this – they would always be reconnected in Heaven. The long or the short way round would always end up in the same place and this time we got what we got. The thought that they ended up in Heaven with everyone else, that's what counts the most for me. 3. This is a stupid ending Not for me. This is coming back full circle for me. I've read more than one time that this kind of ending negates everything they have done, but I respectfully disagree. They have done a lot. They saved so many people. They won a fight against God and ultimately saved the Earth and made it so that everyone had free will. That is fucking huge and so important and such a big legacy to leave behind, even though basically no one knows about it. And them ending up how they did does not make everything they have achieved any less important. Who they've saved, killed, loved, lost – this ending doesn't make it any less important or stupid. Not for me. 4. They didn't pay homage to any other character on the show ... but they did? At the end of 15x19? I mean, yeah, maybe they could have put Cass or Jack or Donna or Jody at the ending too, or whoever else you want to name, but they didn't. Why? Because ultimately this was a story about two brothers against the world. I understand that decision too, and actually I love it because we got to focus on them for the finale. Do I agree with everything in this season – no. Some things could have been done better. The writing was choppy at times and some things didn't make sense and yes, they could have mentioned stuff and people... But there are worse seasons that this last one, so that's saying a lot. In conclusion - I am allowed to have my opinion. I am allowed to love something even though someone else really hates it. I am even allowed to dislike or hate something that makes someone else really happy. Except I don't go around attacking people in their inboxes for hating on something I love and vice versa, I don't put my anger about a certain ending or a character arc onto others just to feel better. That's being a shitty human. And Supernatural, and so many many many other shows have thought us to not do that. Instead they've taught us (or tried) to be better, do better, to be compassionate and kind. I urge you to do that. Next time you want to rant and accuse and shit all over someone, I kindly ask you to take a breather and think about it, think about what you are doing to others and to yourself. And do better. That's all I have to say. Take care of yourselves everyone. Be kind.

Ren Hakuryuu.

yandere! alphabet.

Requested by: Several diffirent people!

A - Attribute: What brought on this side of them? What made them suddenly click?

He's not sure ehen and how it happened, it kind of just did. Hakuryuu has been through so much and just the tought of losing someone so dear to him brings him endless agony. His obsession slowly grows, day by day, with no signs of stopping.

B - Blood: If they're extreme how messy are thry willing to get?

He can vary depending on his mood, but he is generally not very messy. He just wants to get over this, to just eliminate his target and to just focus on his s/o.

C - Cope: Do they try to deal with this jealousy sooner so they don't lash out later?

He'd prefer sooner rather then later. Hakuryuu wants to be soft and sweet to his s/o, but there are times when the line really has been crossed and Hakuryuu can't be calm or composed. He is just a storm that's going to happen and no one can stop it.

D - Death: Do they feel any sorrow for any of their victims at all?

He might feel some guilt at the beginning, but he would just justify it by saying that "he was protecting s/o!" or that the person he killed was evil and desrved it. Over time though, his guilt won't really plague him anymore and that is when he really becomes scary.

E - Earnest: Are they intense?

He really can be instense, even if he doesn't mean to be. At the beginning no one would expect him to be so freaking intense, but he really can be. His proposal is touching but he is just so... needy that s/o can't help but to feel pressured to just say "yes".

F - Fight: How would they feel if you fought back against them?

He would feel so hurt and betrayed. Can't his darling understand that he is doing this for them? That his only goal is to keep them safe, to ensure their innocence?! He will probably even become agressive is his s/o keeps fighting him, and if ever came to that Hakuryuu can become really scary...

G - Game: How much do they enjoy watching you run and have a fearful expression?

He doesn't really like it. He only hurts his s/o when he feels like he "needs" to in order to keep thrm in order. He honestly prefers to see his sweetheart smiling and happy rather thrn to see them in tears.

H - Hell: What would be your worst experience with them?

The first time he locks his s/o up. It just happens so suddenly and Hakuryuu is just so... dark. His grip is tight and his gaze if far more intense then usual. Poor s/o might even end up in tears because of this, and the rattling chains around their arms really don't help them.

I - Iron: How emotionally stable would you be throught the events that unfold?

It all depends for how long his s/o is locked up. There is a good chance that s/o will just end up being totally isolated at the end and that is when they slowly start to crack. Hakuryuu though will not let them fully break, he just won't. He needs his darling to stay intact even if he ends up breaking in the process.

J - Jet: How fast would it happen for them to go yandere?

It takes him a while, it is a slow process. But once it finally happens there is no going back. The dark rukh has consumed him and his obsession is just too deep...

K - Kill: Would they hurt anyone to get to you?

Yes. He might feel a but of guilt with his first victim, but later he just doesn't give a damn. s/o just needs to be his!

L - Lonely: How much loneliness would they feel if you two were apart?

Hakuryuu is going to be so sad if he needs to be separated from s/o, but s/o on the other hand feels so free once the clingy prince leaves. They can finally be at least a little free, and they can finally breathe... Even if it is for a few hours.

M - Might: How agressive would they be towards you?

Once he falls in to depravity his mood switches very quickly and he gets angry far more easily then usual. s/o better be on their best behaviour because Hakuryuu really can get rough when he feels like it.

N - Next: Would they ever move on after you?

No. A huge, firm no. He lost Morgiana, he can't lose s/o too. There is a good chance that if he does end up losing them Hakuryuu will just lose his will to live.

O - Opression: How many rights would they take away from you?

It all depends on s/o's behaviour. If they remain loyal and sweet, Hakuryuu can be pretty lenient. If they keep fighting him though he will only become stricter and stricter.

P - Prize: Would they consider this a game?

No, not really. Hakuryuu is just really motivated to win over his darling but he doesn't really see them as a trophy.

Q - Quality: Would they be secretive or be flashy about what they do?

At first he would be very secretive about everything. Hakuryuu doesn't like to brag, but if given the chance he really will brag about his darling. How perfect and sweet they are, that they are too good to him... He'll blush madly but he truly means every word that leaves his mouth.

R - Rain: Would they keep you inside forever?

Once he is crowned Emperor, he will lock his little darling away where no one will be able to find them. He is just too paranoid that something will happen to them that he just needs to do it. By doing so not only does he secure s/o's safety, he can also be closer to his darling. He might feel bad at the beginning but he would just justify it to himself later.

S - Stalker: Would they stalk you? How intense would it go?

Yes. Hakuryuu is a huge stalker mainly because he is insecure. He wants to knoe as much as he can about his s/o, and stalking is the perfect way to do so. He is always quiet like a mouse and no one can see or hear him...

T - Turmoil: Would they force you to team up with them?

He would perhaps preasure his s/o to become Empress. He just needs them by his side, and Hakuryuu won't be giving them other options any time soon.

U - Usage: Would they use you to get what they desire?

Hakuryuu has two wishes, and that is to become Emperor and to have s/o. He would never use his s/o like a stepping stone, but he would rather climb up towards the top with s/o.

V - Version: Would they do anything diffirent from the classic yandere?

Well, because of his royal status and djinn, he can't exactly be described as a downright classic yandere. Instead of rope, Hakuryuu just uses vines from Zagan and he can always make the plans a bit more wild if it is necessary.

W - Wild card: A random yandere headcanon.

Hakuryuu can be very affectionate and downright needy. The poor boy is touch starved, and nothing brings him greater joy then to just have s/o in his arms. He apso loves to spoil and cook for them. If they eat or actually praise his meal, Hakuryuu might just faint from joy!

X - Xenophobia: How much would they get angry from their jelaousy?

Very angry. I imagine Hakuryuu to be a very jealous and possessive yandere, so his anger would be crystal clear to his s/o. At the beginning he might try to hide it, but the way he speaks through gritted teeth really would be a sign that he will snap right there and then.

Y - Yandere: How many crimes would they commit?

He really doesn't want to admit it, but quite a few. He also needs to be catious about them as well. If word got out that a prince of the Kou Empire killed someone in cold blood, things really wouldn't be well for Hakuryuu....
