bad blood (lando's version) | lando norris social media au
pairing: lando norris x fem carlos ex!reader
band aid's don't fix bullet holes but his best friend might
based on this request:so reader is a famous model who’s also carlos ex (dated YEARS) and after the breakup he jumped straight to rebeca (we just need a tiny bit of bad blood). soo she and lando always got along, ever since carlos was in mclaren. the point is they get together and come hand in hand to a gp out of nowhere so drama and more bad blood surface - you can lead this to whatever you want hehe, thanks!!! - @lorenakaspersen

vogue: you dropped this queen 👑
user4: not vogue supporting her more than carlos ever did 🤨
user5: at least lando still supports her
user6: i'm glad the friends she made... i.e lando, charles, max, daniel, etc did also abandon her when carlos just dropped her
hunterschafer: you're the person i see in your dreams
yourusername: are you sure i'm not just your sleep paralysis demon?

f1wagsupdates: i am a y/n y/ln stan first and foremost
user14: anyone see the absolute stink eye charles and lando gave carlos LOL
user15: that's the thing when you're together for so long, the friends get attached as well
user16: i mean if certified homie hopper charles leclerc is calling your bluff then you know you've fucked up
user17: i will never understand how he jumped into a relationship with her after three years ?? LIKE IT WAS NOTHING
user18: things like that make me glad i'm single
user19: the thing that is bothering me that no one has said yet is the fact that he's been with her what a month? and he's already brought her to a race when he made y/n wait months to go to a race?
user20: screams insecurity - like "look i have moved on, i'm an alpha male who can get whoever i want"
user21: i never understood why he didn't let her come to races for months when they first got together, like not even his home race?
user22: i've always got the vibe that he thought that he was better than her and that she was using him?
user23: the way if he ever posted her (which was not very often) he never tagged her
user24: which is ironic because she's one of the most celebrated models in recent history, she has millions more followers than him and has a bigger network than him, so really if anyone was using anyone it was carlos using her
user25: anyone else pulling for her to get with lando?
user26: i always thought they got on more in the videos of them all together but honestly i just want her to be happy

user53: the audacity of men never fails to astound me
user54: you know what, i feel like a guilty man only acts this bold. so i'm saying it. i think there was overlap between his relationship with y/n and his relationship with rebecca
user55: you're right and you should say it
user56: carlos got with rebecca within a WEEK of the end of a three year relationship but is angry that she's finally moving on after months ?
user57: for real the first sight of lando and y/n was after at least two months
user58: i know people will say she's in the wrong because it is lando but honestly carlos has no leg to stand on with him parading rebecca around the paddock
user59: i really couldn't give a fuck if lando is his best buddy you act like a fool expect to get treated like a fool
user60: also the whole "whoring around the grid" is so dumb. you mean her FRIENDS? you know the friends she had to make when you would just leave her in the paddock or ignore her at parties ?
user61: babe really thought he was more loved in the paddock and expected everyone to go along with his messiness
user62: men don't talk about women this way challenge
user63: imagine talking about a girl you were with for THREE tears like this
user64: i wish lando and y/n all the best and i hope they're together for a long time, she deserves a good man after all of this

I just want say I love your writing! Like I have never related to any work more than yours! You’re doing something special for black army and I just want thank you for that! Hope you’re doing well and I wish you the best and a million dollar lottery ticket girl! 😄😂🫶🏾
(P.S if you feel like it and if you get a chance please write more for Yoongi 💔 us Yoongi Stans starving and having withdrawals 😪)
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words. They really mean so much. I’m so glad I could bring more representation and I hope you feel good reading my works.
Here’s a special little something for you Yoongi stans🥰🩵
~
“I don’t think this looks right, Yoongi.” You pouted, twisting your body every which way in the mirror. Your hands tugged at the top of the dress as if trying to magically make it fit the way you wanted it to in your head.
Yoongi, who was sitting outside typing some quick minute work emails, said, “I’m sure it looks fine, lovely. Come out and show me.”
Sighing, you turned around to open the dressing room door, stepping out to show your sugar daddy turned totally exclusive boyfriend one of the dresses you’ve chosen. It’s the 8th one you’ve tried on but you didn’t really like any of them. What you thought would just be a cute little date had transitioned into a full blown shopping spree. Yoongi pulled up to your apartment, your favorite Starbucks drink and snack already waiting, and whisked you away to the luxury district of Seoul. Hand in hand, he led you into stores, wanting you to pick something out in each one.
“You deserve it after being asked to take over the north branch of the company. I want you dressed like you own that place.”
So to Cartier, Gucci, and Zara you went to get you an entirely new wardrobe worthy of your position. To be honest, you stopped shopping for work a little while ago and now you were just choosing dresses for fun nights out.
For someone as accomplished as you, a sugar daddy probably seemed like overkill. You’ve managed to rise in the ranks at your dream job, getting a managerial title in less than 2 years. No doubt you had enough money to support the lifestyle Yoongi was giving you. Truthfully, this relationship didn’t start as a sugar daddy sugar baby thing. Your friends had taken it upon themselves to sign you up for a singles mixer—you know, one of those events where a bunch of single people went to try and find dates. You talked for about a minute before a bell rang and you moved on to a new stranger. Stuff like that really wasn’t your cup of tea.
What your friends had conveniently left out that it was a singles mixer exclusively for sugar daddies and sugar babies to find each other. Imagine your surprise when you and a couple of your friends rolled up to the bar, only to find a gaggle of late middle aged and older men sitting around the tables. You almost broke your ankle trying to run back out but your friends forced you to the bar for a drink.
Before you knew it, you were going through the rounds of meeting a lot of gentlemen that reminded you of your uncles. Gross.
So when you finally came across Yoongi during the last round, you thought maybe this thing wasn’t so bad.
One thing led to another and now you and Yoongi had been together for a little over 2 and a half years.
He had captured your heart with his clever remarks and charming personality. And he was very easy on the eyes. Not to mention, he was only a couple of years older than you with his very own successful law office.
And you had caught his interest with your timeless beauty and charisma. He doesn’t think he’s laughed as much in his life as he does when he’s with you. You were just so lovely and honest and sweet. It was hard not
to fall for you.
Now seeing you in that dress, Yoongi thinks he was falling even deeper.
His mouth dropped at the sight of you in the mid thigh navy blue dress—long sheer sleeves and square cut at your chest to show the gorgeous expanse of your chest.
“Do you like the sleeves? This dress definitely isn’t for the workplace but it’s very nice.”
He wasn’t even listening to what you were saying, eyes going down to your ass. The dress had a deeeepppp incline, the open back stopping just above the curve of your ass. Everytime you shifted from foot to foot, your ass jiggled a little and you both knew you were wearing the tiniest pair of panties.
Fuck.
“Yoongi?” You had asked him a question three times with no answer.
Turning around, you found him standing right behind you, flinching a little at his sudden closeness. “Y-yoongi?”
Suddenly, his lips were on yours, his body crowding all of your space. It took you a moment to respond but you did, kissing him back just as fervently and desperately.
You pulled back to whisper, “what’s gotten into you?”
His dark eyes sent shivers down your spine and right to your pussy which was already wet from him fingering you in the car on your way here.
“You.”
His rough hands pushed you back into the dressing room, barely managing to close the door behind him before he was back on you. Deft and experienced fingers ran up your bare back, goosebumps popping up in his wake, his lips trailing across your jaw and neck.
Your own hands went straight to the waistband of the loose pants he was wearing. He normally wore suits so seeing him casual was secretly a favorite look of his.
“You look divine in this dress. I’m buying you one in every color.”
You giggled at his words but you knew he was probably serious. He’s done the exact same thing with a lingerie set you surprised him in on his birthday. The way the white lace set made your dark skin look even more sinful and delectable than it already was should be considered a crime.
“I’ll wear whatever you want.” You leaned closer to be right next to his ear. “My body is yours, sir.”
His eyes rolled back, both at your tone and the name you called him. God, you were so sexy. And all his.
“Then get on your knees and suck my cock. Show sir that you’re grateful.”
Falling to your knees, you took the elastic off your wrist to tie up your knotless braids, happy you sprung for a style that could easily be put up when you wanted to pleasure your man.
Yoongi helped you get some of the stragglers in the back before holding your hair for leverage. You both knew where this was going.
Eyes locked on his, you pulled his pants and underwear down, his hard cock springing out from its confines. Your warm palm encased him, a sigh falling from his doll like lips.
Gathering spit in your mouth, you opened your lips to take him all the way in to the hilt.
Yoongi’s head dropped back as the heat of your mouth surrounded him. His hand gripped your ponytail tighter, keeping you down and letting your tongue work over him.
“Oh my god…..” he huffed out, pulling your head back so that only the tip was resting against your tongue.
Your nails scratched up his thighs. “Fuck my mouth, baby. Give it to me.”
That was his breaking point. Using both hands to hold either side of your head, he began thrusting his cock in and out of your mouth. You relaxed your throat, patting yourself on the back for training your gag reflex during quarantine. You know………..for when you could go back out and mingle….anyway.
Your eyes remained focused on Yoongi’s face, your pussy clenching at the sight of his tightly shut eyes and dropped mouth. His long hair had fallen out of his manbun, the strands sticking to the building sweat on his forehead. Your fingers itched to hold onto that bun and ride his face until his neck hurt. Maybe once you got home.
Yoongi forced you to take all of him in, holding you there for a few seconds before pulling back and doing the same thing. Eyes watering from the assault on your throat, you let Yoongi use your throat however he liked. You were his and vice versa.
“Fuck….” Yoongi yanked your head back off of him, his orgasm feeling too close already. “Stand up.” He shakily breathed out, holding out his hand to help you to your weak legs. He placed a quick kiss to your lips, wiping away the drool that had slipped past before turning you around and pushing you against the mirror. You took a moment to look at your disheveled appearance in the reflection—your edges had began to curl back up, your pupils dilated and slightly unfocused, and the dress had became slightly skewed from all of your heavy petting. You looked a mess.
Not time to think about that now though. It didn’t take long for Yoongi to have your dress pulled up and your panties around one of your ankles. He also pulled the front of your dress down to allow your breasts to spill out, your already soaked cunt was practically screaming for his cock.
The mirror was fogged up from your breath, the cool glass making your nipples harden. “Fuck me, baby.” A sharp slap came down on your ass, the fat jiggling under the force.
“Don’t rush me.” His gruff voice said. And you’d be lying if you said that little show of dominance didn’t get you wetter than that scene in Step Up.
After moving your hair over your shoulder, Yoongi’s hand grabbed your shoulder, the other holding his cock to line up with your awaiting hole. You spread your legs a little more, arching your back to give him more access.
He didn’t give you any warning before he was diving into your wet cunt. Your mouth dropped as his cock stretched your tight walls, the overwhelming girth knocking all of the air out of your lungs.
“Oooooo…..Yoongi…..fuck. That cock’s so fucking big.” You gritted out, resisting from punching the mirror.
Yoongi inhaled a deep breath, trying not to cum as your silky walls tried to milk him for everything he was worth. The effect you had on him was just too strong. Only you could push him to the brink that fast.
Once he had calmed himself, Yoongi started a pace that could only be described as animalistic. The absolute force of which he was pushing his hips against your ass was causing a clapping noise so loud that you thought there were people giving you two a standing ovation.
An almost shriek like moan flew from your lips but Yoongi slapped his hand over your mouth to muffle it, one of your hands going up to hold onto his and the other squeezing your breast.
“Quiet.” He spit. “You want everyone to know I’m in here fucking you like a slut? Huh? Is that what you want?” His hips never slowed down as he spoke, pushing deeper and deeper until it felt like he was in your guts.
Your eyes crossed as his cock bullied your sweet spot, orgasm building faster than ever. His degradation along with the fact that you two could be caught at any moment was enough to propel you right over the edge.
Your knees buckled, Yoongi’s arm going out to wrap around your waist to keep you up.
“Good girl. Look at yourself while you cum.”
Your bleary eyes, that you didn’t even realize you had closed, slowly opened to look at your reflection and the sight sent you straight there.
Yoongi was staring directly at you, those panther like eyes making you feel so open and vulnerable. Both of your hungry eyes begging. Out of all of your moments with Yoongi, times like this really reminded you of just how much he had broken down your walls. He brought out a sexually adventurous side of you that you didn’t even know you had and you were actually grateful for it.
Or maybe you were just dickmatized…..eh.
Your pulsing walls were squeezing Yoongi’s cock hard enough to almost break it off, his own orgasm feeling incredibly close.
“Get back down.” He pushed you back down to your knees, your body quickly turning despite your orgasm still making you feel weightless. He just commanded your body that way.
Like it was muscle memory, you opened your mouth and held out your tongue, your hand coming up to take hold of his shaft. You pumped his fast, making sure to squeeze him at the tip just how he likes.
Yoongi’s eyes clenched shut, his breath labored as his orgasm got closer and closer. He braced his hands against the mirror behind you, his knees ready to give out much like yours had.
You couldn’t help but focus on the sexiness of your man’s face. It honestly made you want another round but you had something else to focus on.
“Fuck…..fuck….I’m cumming, love. Oh shit.”
“I want it. Give it to me.” You sucked harshly at his tip, still pumping him quickly.
With a moan and a full body shudder, Yoongi’s cum hit your tongue, the saltiness familiar. You continued to suck until he was recoiling from sensitivity.
He reached a hand down to tap against your chin, your head tilting back and eyes staring directly into his.
“Show me.”
You opened your mouth to show his release on your tongue. His hand dipped your chin, thumb pulling at your juicy bottom lip—his own lip pulling between his teeth.
“Swallow.” And who were you to deny?
Swallowing his cum down and then opening your mouth to show him you obeyed, you got a hum of approval from him.
You both took a moment to regain your breaths. Yoongi held out his hand to help you stand, pulling you into a hug. You sighed as his warmth seeped into your skin.
“You okay?” He asked you after a brief moment of silence.
You hummed. “Perfect. I’d have to say, I’m shocked you’re into public displays. What happened to that whole ‘your moans are only for me’ thing?” You teased. You could imagine him rolling his eyes.
Before he could give you a smart mouthed retort, a knock on the door caused both of you to scramble. You practically pushed him away to adjust your dress as Yoongi yanked his pants back up and fixed his hair.
“Um, yes?” You tried to call out in a normal voice, tone a bit hoarse from the recent exercise.
“Is everything fitting well? Should I bring you another size?” The polite voice of the associate asked.
You made eye contact with Yoongi, a cheeky smile spreading across his face and making you laugh.
“Uh, could you actually get me this same dress in all of the available colors? I’ll be purchasing them.”

Jungkook is an incredibly precious human being. He’s bratty, and sweet, and meticulous, and charming, and calculating, and assertive, and introverted, and above all, hand-fistingly, brow-scrunchingly, high-pitched-wailing into the night, cute.
He’s so cute it almost destroys me.
Tumblr media
The trust he has in ARMY, is something I hope we never take for granted. It’s rare, and many would argue unwise to consistently express such vulnerability to millions of people who may have their own motives. And nobody knows that more than Jungkook - a multi millionaire who has lived in the spotlight for almost a decade. And yet, with ARMY, when he feels anxious or can’t sleep or whatever, he feels comforted being with ARMY, being watched by ARMY, sharing tiny bits and pieces of himself with ARMY.
Goodness.
I hope y’all are saving up for JJK1. He’s clearly working hard at it, and he’s said since last year he’ll be releasing music after Yoongi.
And this is more or less confirmed
Tumblr media
Edit (because someone DM’d me they can’t understand the chart. Sorry btw. Sometimes I forget Korean isn’t very accessible. So here’s a key to understand the chart.)
Stars: albums - the letters within the stars indicate whether it’s a mini, full, solo, or repackage album.
M : mini-album
J : full-album
U : unit/solo-album
R : repackage-album
日: Japan-album
Blue-shading : concert/tour
Grey shading : fanmeet
*
Personally, I’m prepared to go all out, as I have for Jimin and Yoongi’s releases, year to date. With JK’s musical output so far, I’ve resigned myself to the possibility his album could be the poppiest of the seven, and that’s not really my taste tbh. But I’ll be looking forward to it because even his pop-py, EDM-laced preferences are executed well, and it’s always possible he blindsides me and surprises me with a very different sound than what many expect of him.
Either way, he’s working hard so I trust the product will be excellent.
I hope we’re all gearing up to run this race again, this time with JK as the Bora-flagbearer. Like with Jimin’s FACE, and Yoongi’s D-DAY, it will be a race in two parts: a sprint then a marathon.
Please stay hydrated, take your vitamins, check your iron levels, take care of yourself, and prioritize the boys if they’re the reason you’re here. The competition will be fierce, solo stans will raise hell, and everyone will want a piece of him. It would be nice if the core fandom can manage to keep their heads on straight and focus on Jungkook.
Aside, JK’s sleepy Wlive reminded me of a VCR that’s haunted me for years.
This one:
Tumblr media
Maybe it’s the same sleepy pose, and the eyes…
Actually, the whole Serendipity MV comes to mind when I remember JK’s Wlive. And Jimin is the reason.
Tumblr media

Sigh, these men.

RANT #1 ── NARUTO
If you hate fandom rants/Naruto rants this isn't for you, I'm here to complain about things I witness within the fandom spaces.
I was never a big fan of canon. Of course I love the series, but I i was more drawn to the Fanfictions. The fanfiction writers were really talented and I loved ─ still do ─ reading about my favorite characters. I love seeing art concepts with them and how they would have developed if they had a actual writer involved in the manga.
Therefore, it really gets me every single time, when a someone comes down a fan's comment section, of a fanfic, headcanon or a art, and starts yapping about how these characters wouldn't do that because in canon they-
Shut up? Who asked?
Has everyone lost their minds these past 5 years? The fandom never used to be like this. We were divided, but there was a line we didn't cross. We had our corners, our sub-fandoms and we felt safe there.
Now?
Now you can't even do that, because going out of canon, or having a different opinion about the kunoichi, is illegal?
The fan wars went from solely trash talking the ships to personally attacking each other? Are you out of your minds?
I can't see a single good Ino comment without having a idiot pop out of nowhere, asking stupid questions like "Ino has stans?"
No you dipshits, I and half a million other people are mere flobberworms.
In addition, I have come to resent some certain part of Sakura/Sasuke's fandom. Particularly SasuSaku stans from Twitter. I don't really take Twitter users seriously, but sometimes their overall injudicious “statements” really makes me roll my eyes. I don't even know how they became like that because i remember them being so chill with us Ino stans back in 2019, but now they only know how to constantly demean Ino and every other kunoichi.
You don't make allies that way, your favorite character is already controversial as it is, you're only making people hate you because of that. Calling Sai, Sasuke 2.0 and Ino a second Sakura completely unprovoked is... stop antagonising us? Then you have the audacity to play the victims in this whole ordeal... are you kidding me? 😭
Fandom is in shambles.

I know that you have very different opinions on Severus Snape but I would just like to ask you – why do you like him in the first place? I myself aren't very fond of James Potter but hating on him and liking Snape is kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
It's very confusing that you preach that James Potter was a bully and a horrible person who deserved to die when his crimes were a million times less than Severus's. He was a bully and a sexual assaulter and I hundred percent agree to that claim. But Snape was pathetic, an internalized racist, a murderer, and someone who thought taking his anger out on little kids instead of getting a wife and leaving the poor things alone was more adequate.
And no, I will not just leave these claims like this without proof of them like other anonymous asks like to do which is totally annoying. 
Pathetic: 
Even after calling Lily a mudblood and hearing her out in fifth year about why she couldn't be friends with him anymore, he continued to join the Death Eaters. Instead of proving to Lily that he could change and fight for her, he joined the Death Eaters and only actually regretted his decision when Lily died because of his mistake. James at least changed, or Lily wouldn't have married him otherwise. We know he did since his "ego deflated" and he became a better man for Lily. Snape didn't realize that until his love was taken away from him and probably never would have unless Lily died.
Racist: 
He called Lily a mud blood word when the only thing she did was try to help him in front of, like, a hundred kids who must have been her friends. He chose to embarrass the only person who cared for him and decided to go there, too. If someone nowadays called their friend the N-Word and refused to take it back in public, all hell would break loose. But most of you hate muggle borns, too, right? Or do you guys just not like Lily? 
Murderer:
This is pretty self-explanatory. He sold out the prophecy to Voldemort knowing full well the family behind it would suffer. He never took the initiative to sit down and think about the fact that if it had been his own family or himself he was selling out. He wouldn't have lived with a care in the world if it had been the Longbottoms. But it was Lily. Not the Potters, only Lily. A million people could die and he wouldn't take a flying fuck. 
With all due respect. I know some people like this messed up aspect of him and if you are one of them then that is perfectly valid. I just really needed to ask because all these other Snape stans would come at me and bite my throat off. I know you are one of the rational ones. Why do you like Severus Snape? 
Hey there, anon. Because of your first and last lines I’m going to try to be civil with you and politely explain my opinions (this might not apply to the part where I respond to you calling blood supremacy racism and comparing Mudblood to the N word, but I digress).
Aight, let’s get to work:
hating on him and liking Snape is kind of hypocritical if you ask me.
I’m not asking you. Not really. I mean, you might consider it hypocritical if you don’t actually understand what made James’s character completely dilapidated for me.
James is, an awful character. Awful as in morally? Maybe, but I’ve loved worse characters before. Awful as in his character is awfully-written? Yes. Even if Severus was worse than James as a person, I would still love him and hate James. You know why? Because Severus’s character is interesting, because Severus’s character is relevant, because his character is genuinely enjoyable to read. James is none of those things (at least to me).
Not only is James a shitty person whose scenes all show him in an exceedingly unpleasant light, but he isn’t even a well-written character. I literally love Voldemort and Bellatrix for god’s sake. Are they undoubtedly worse than James? Obviously. But they’re interesting characters with compelling origin stories/backstories and, in my eyes, that “makes up for” their shittiness. I also love James’s best friend (all of them actually), Sirius, I think he sucks as a person but his character is complicated and brilliantly-written—that’s why I’m capable of “looking past” his awfulness. James has nothing to make up for it; he’s not funny, he’s not enjoyable, he’s quite frankly just as intriguing as watching paint dry, and he was dead a decade before the series even began. He’s practically just a plot device—he’s known as “Harry Potter’s dad,” “Sirius and Remus’s best friend,” “Snape’s bully,” but we never actually get to see his character being explored. He served no purpose in the story besides giving both Severus and Harry traumatic backstories.
So, not hypocritical. Mostly just a preferred taste of interesting characters.
Those three paragraphs alone fundamentally debunk your whole ask but I’ll continue for the sake of it.
It's very confusing that you preach that James Potter was a bully and a horrible person who deserved to die when his crimes were a million times less than Severus's
Read what I said above first.
And no darling, I consider a guy who bullied kids because of past trauma and having to constantly face the carbon-copy of his abuser a lot less worse than a guy who bullied someone completely powerless against him (when it came to social status) and traumatised said person for no other reason than because he (James) was a spoiled, rich, privileged pureblood. One of them is a scarily realistic representation of how real-life victims can cope, can you spot which one I’m talking about?
I’d argue that it’s unfair to compare the two solely based on their bad-things-they-did count as Severus lived nearly twice as much as James did and because of what I’ve just stated above, but anyway.
But Snape was pathetic, an internalized racist, a murderer, and someone who thought taking his anger out on little kids instead of getting a wife and leaving the poor things alone was more adequate.
Tumblr media
(“instead of getting a wife” 💀💀 what’s that supposed to mean?)
Moving on.
And no, I will not just leave these claims like this without proof of them like other anonymous asks like to do which is totally annoying.
oh you have nothing to worry about, anon, you’re being just as annoying 😊
Even after calling Lily a mudblood and hearing her out in fifth year about why she couldn't be friends with him anymore, he continued to join the Death Eaters. Instead of proving to Lily that he could change and fight for her, he joined the Death Eaters
You’re acting as if Lily would “take him back” even if he did do all that.
1. That doesn’t make him pathetic. That makes him human.
2. Losing Lily only pushed him to join the DEs, she was the only “source of light” in his life, and he had just lost her. He was at his breaking point. Do you people not understand how humans work? …Or how cults target younger candidates and use known methods to recruit them?
and only actually regretted his decision when Lily died because of his mistake.
✨This is where his redemption arc started✨
✨You can’t use what made him defect (the turning point) to try and prove that he wasn’t a hero afterwards✨
✨Lily may have been the initial reason he defected but he actually grew to believe in the Order’s cause and continued to fight for it even after he knew Lily’s sacrifice was in vain✨
✨Don’t use “he only *did this* because of…” as an argument when it’s simply untrue✨
James at least changed, or Lily wouldn't have married him otherwise.
We’re literally told that James went behind Lily’s back and continued his quarrel with Snape, she wouldn’t even be able to “judge him properly.” And don’t use the love interest as a moral compass, it doesn’t make James a better person.
We know he did since his "ego deflated" and he became a better man for Lily.
Sure Jan
Snape didn't realize that until his love was taken away from him
Didn’t realise what? 💀
and probably never would have unless Lily died.
Ok but he did “realise *whatever tf you’re talking about*” so don’t rely on hypotheticals for arguments.
He called Lily a mud blood word when the only thing she did was try to help him in front of, like, a hundred kids who must have been her friends.
“the mudblood word” 😃
Hey babe, he called her a slur that also applies to him mere moments before he was sexually assaulted and choked with soap suds. Doesn’t justify it, but I don’t think it makes me a horrible person for thinking that Lily was wrong for not reporting the Marauders to a Professor (aka the Logical/Actually-Helps-Your-Friend-Out thing to do) before he even called her that.
Also? He apologised and continued to regret it for the rest of his life. Does that mean Lily shouldn’t have been upset? No, she had every right. But he did the one thing Jimothy couldn’t do; actually saying the words I’m sorry, so much for “James at least changed.”
He chose to embarrass the only person who cared for him and decided to go there, too.
Yes of course, this situation is about Lily. We’re totally not talking about the same scene where 16 year old Severus was immobilised, sexually assaulted, exposed against his will, and waterboarded, all “in front of a hundred kids”—you said it, not me, although I was about to—and his best friend. No ofc we should just be focusing on what happened to Lily—the person who also nearly smiled at her friend being flipped upside down and being put in an extremely humiliating and traumatic situation.
If someone nowadays called their friend the N-Word
You mean if a mixed kid called a black kid the N word?
and refused to take it back in public
We see that he was clearly sorry for it 💀 The damn boy had been sexually harassed, he was likely too shocked to even process what happened, and he didn’t “refuse to take it back,” he didn’t even say anything (which makes my other point even more likely to have been the case). I also think Rowling purposefully made it that way because, at that point, we didn’t know that Severus and Lily were friends, and she didn’t want to “hint at it too much” by making Severus yell after her or something. That’s my personal thought though.
all hell would break loose.
Yeah it would, but I think that’s because this is a real, serious issue that takes place almost half a century after the situation you’re referring to that also took place in a fictional universe that was involving a made-up kind facing made-up discrimination.
But most of you hate muggle borns, too, right?
*writes this down in the List Of Weirdest Shit Snaters Have Ever Said To Me*
Or do you guys just not like Lily?
Not really. We’re just capable of exhibiting a human feeling called ✨empathy✨ to a character who’s gone through an unbelievable amount of shit throughout his life. Doesn’t mean we don’t like Lily or that we’re somehow misogynists or blood supremacists (imagine calling real people that.. lmao).
This is pretty self-explanatory.
And hell is just a sauna.
There’s no proof Severus knew it was about a family or a child, or even a person (that is, if you consider the part of the prophecy that he heard and analyse the potential meanings), but I’ll be putting that aside.
Even if he knew:
— He was working for Voldemort at that time, he was a loyal Death Eater who worked for a mind-reading maniac, what else do you want him to do?
— You can’t use that to prove that he didn’t become a hero lol. He may have done that, but he also went on to save countless lives (at least more than the amount he supposedly mUrDeReD) and fight for the Light side for nearly ten times the amount of time he spent following Voldemort. He called Lily a Mudblood? He (actually) changed and went on to yell at the portrait for referring to Hermione—someone he disliked—as a Mudblood. He was a Death Eater? He was also one of the greatest heroes of the entire series. And so on. Do you not understand the concept of a redemption arc? The redeemed character had to have done bad things in the past to redeem themselves for it, otherwise what would they have to repent from? 90% of the fandom shares this strange logic and it’s pretty fucking irritating.
He never took the initiative to sit down and think about the fact that if it had been his own family or himself he was selling out.
Why would he sell himself out? 💀
He wouldn't have lived with a care in the world if it had been the Longbottoms.
Maybe. But it wasn’t the Longbottoms, so shush.
But it was Lily. Not the Potters, only Lily.
Then why would he have gone to Dumbledore? He already asked Voldemort to spare Lily, why would he go to Dumbledore and betray his current master, just to warn Dumbles that Voldemort was after the whole family? That’s literally what made Dumbles place James and Lily under the protection. They would’ve died a lot sooner if Severus truly hadn’t “lived with a care in the world.”
A million people could die and he wouldn't take a flying fuck.
Can’t say that without any proof.
I know some people like this messed up aspect of him
We like the complicated, traumatised, grey hero who was also extremely entertaining and fun to read about. Not the shit you think he’s done.
I just really needed to ask because all these other Snape stans would come at me and bite my throat off.
Me who already gobbled down your throat entirely: 🧍‍♀️ /j
I know you are one of the rational ones. Why do you like Severus Snape? 
Indeed I am. (Not sure if you’d think that after seeing my answer but I’ll accept the backhanded compliment with pleasure.)
I like him because he’s enjoyable. That’s really the most dominant factor when it comes to characters, movies, tv shows, etc. I don’t care about the plot, I don’t care about their morals, what’s ultimately the thing that matters most to me is if they’re enjoyable. If I enjoy reading/watching it/them, then I’ll love it. I don’t care whether Severus was a terrible person or not, if I enjoy scenes with him in it, if I find him entertaining, if I’m legitimately able to enjoy every second, then I’ll love him. I was one of the few who loved Snape at first glance, from when I read the series for the very first time. I was a little girl at that time, he was of course needlessly shitty to Harry, but I was able to find the humour in his classy jibes, especially as I got older. His sarcasm was to die-for, and in the later books we got to learn more about his past, and so his character became all the more nuanced. And then there was the grandiose reveal in Deathly Hallows. I still would’ve loved him even if he was a villain, and at least then there’d be many less tiring debates about his morality.
I hope my answer was sufficient. Bye-bye anon.

If it’s not rude of me, I’d like to ask how is Ayato the favorite in Japan among fans?
I’d always assumed it was Shuu, since he consistently ranked first in the polls and that Ayato was the favorite among the people who don’t play the games but buy merch, so that’s why he got a push in merch. I do not mean to offend, I quite like Ayato, I’m just curious.
(I apologize if my English is bad, it’s not my first language.)
// Shu has more active and sociable stans, Ayato has more solo and private stans in Japan. Popularity polls never really show how popular a character truly is because 1) you can vote once a day everyday in some cases, 2) it’s not that hard sending a link to your friends/followers in order to vote for your favorite character and 3) not everyone votes. I’ve never even seen any DL character get close to even 10k votes and I’m sure all of them have over 1 million fans. I mean… Just take a look at Piofiore's Dante, who came in first in the popularity poll, although Yang and Nicola are much more well-liked. The same is true for Lupin from C:R; even though he tops the polls, Van Helsing and Saint-Germain are all the rage. If we interpret it that way, Kou won the 2022 poll too, right? Ayato also won the 2017 Rejet shop poll, which took place in Tokyo.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shu is still indeed very popular in the Japanese DL fandom, but Ayato is more popular in the Japanese otoge fandom and with locals. Sometimes you’ll find Shu merch a bit more expensive than Ayato’s one, other times you’ll find Ayato more expensive than Shu. It simply depends on how the sellers view the situation.
Another possibility is that Shu’s stans aren’t as active as they were in the past since things change or Ayato just had a huge DL fans boost. I know votes aren’t everything but the fact fans voted Ayato’s CD as the best Daylight one and also won best overall CD drama in 2022, surprised me a lot because I, at least, never found his CD dramas particularly good.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I made a post about this once, and as I said, it started off as a joke but Ayato is truly an IT boy, lol. A famous idol cosplayed him once… that should say it all. In 2020, people recommended him so much that he ended up co-starring at “Nino-san”, a program held by Kazunari Ninomiya, a national idol as well. I don’t know how, since he’s literally 40 years old, but he somehow knew who Ayato was and even smiled when he saw him. Moreover, the interviewer literally went to a stranger and interviewed her, then she started shaking and laughing when she saw Ayato and even admitted being his fan. That, imo, shows how HUGE Ayato must me, if even random people know who he is and bias him too.
I don’t think any Diaboy could ever be more known and loved than Ayato is outside of the DL fandom but that’s not because of his character or anything like that, but due to his unbeatable visuals. You’ll see a lot of people saying that his face is ideal/perfect/desirable, as seen here, and they’re not even joking. Most people find Ayato the most good-looking one there because he is the closest to their beauty standard. Don’t get me wrong, everyone is very handsome; Shu has one of the most liked designs too but the reason why his visuals are not more praised than Ayato’s ones is because he looks too western. Japanese people are fascinated by western features but they don’t want to look like that; the majority would prefer someone that fits their ideal of beauty more. Ayato has canonically big eyes, a small face but not too small, long dark lashes, a youthful and quite androgynous face but that still shows some masculinity, a slender yet muscular body, above average height (170cm) but not too tall. That’s what makes him visually perfect.
To sum it up, all DL characters still have their fans but due to the fact that a lot of other otome games came out, they lost some hype they used to have. Ayato still manages to be the most talked about, praised and trending character at the moment merely because of his visuals, since that’s what sets him apart. Him being super pretty makes otoge fans and locals bias him, so they desire his merch, plus he got a big amount of DL fans too. Is he the most popular in the jp DL fandom? Idk, I don’t think anyone could truly measure that. Is he the most popular DL character there? Yes.

Elain : canon that she doesn’t like violence
E/riel’s : aesthetic, fanart and headcanons of her dressed in Illyrian leathers, or wielding a sword, or covered in blood, or is secretly a spy for the Night Court.
I saw someone say that Elain would clean the blood off of Azriel after he comes home from a mission. Or that they want a scene in the next ACOTAR book of Azriel beating someone up, covered in blood, and Elain bites her lip and is like “that’s hot” ?? It’s canon that she doesn’t like violence. Didn’t she vomit after the battle in ACOWAR? And her being a spy doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t fit her character in canon. Wouldn’t we have got something of that in Az’s bonus chapter if she was training to be a spy or if she had spy like qualities?
If SJM holds a live stream interview where questions are allowed, I lowkey want someone to ask her if she’s ever thought about making Elain a spy or how she feels about blood and violence. Idk if SJM would say anything but *shrugs shoulders*
E/riel’s complain that Gwynriel’s put down Elain for being feminine, for her love of baking and gardening, but I’ve seen countless fanart of Elain as a warrior/spy and headcanons of Elain liking violence/blood. Not to say there aren’t some Gwynriel’s who’ve said that (I personally haven’t seen any) but it seems like E/riel’s are the ones reaching. Making their view of Elain different from canon.
why do they think elain would be ok around blood like that? even feyre, someone who has seen proper battle and killed people, doesn't like it. feyre doesn't like being around torture either but somehow elain would?? hey e/riels... BE REAL, please, for one second
and like??? elain would never, ever, in a million, BILLION years find az beating someone up "hot". not when she practically begged her sisters to leave graysen alone. hell, sjm has never really done that in general, clearly she doesn't like it either lmfao
oh god please i would love for sjm to shut down their little spy theories. anyone remember a couple of years ago how they were so confident that e/riel would be a sleeping beauty retelling but then in an interview sjm said she doesn't like that movie or even let her son watch it and suddenly they pivoted to something else?? i have never laughed so hard
ok let's look at this way: if elain has to change so much, literally a complete overhaul of her canon character, to fit with az... why wouldn't sjm just write a new, more well suited character? that'd be less of a headache... oh but wait! she did!! miss gwyneth berdara would like a word. for a fandom that claims to love and respect elain when others don't, they sure do try to turn her into someone else and then project that onto gwyn stans, claiming we're self inserting and wanting her to be elain when i have never, not once, seen a gwyn stan want gwyn to be any different
i have unfortunately seen some weird and toxic gwynriels but weird and toxic e/riels far out number them. oh and for the record, i've never seen or heard of gwynriels stealing art, doxing people, harassing sjm's irl friends and publisher, faking cancer, or telling sjm they'd harm her child if they didn't get their way so... really it's like comparing apples to oranges
anyway (most) e/riels suck and gwynriels, alongside eluciens, are literally the glue that holds this fandom together. i love you all even if this fandom is a cesspit most of the time, thank you for making this a fun space <3

Okay. So the bad batch teaser is out and many fans have rightfully called out star wars out on the clones still being whitewashed. In response to this outcry, the bad batch stans have called out these angered fans for being overdramatic, stupid and theatrical, all over a cartoon. And while poc don't have a responsibility to teach you just how a cartoon can have an impact on us, I want to give it a try from my perspective. Its a bit long but try would you?
So, I'm brown, desi, and darker than most desis so I've basically been identified as the unfortunate child who didn't end up with the right genes in the family. Desi culture is obsessed with white skin, no surprise keeping in mind the British's involvement, but that's not the point. As a child, I really pissed off my parents for not bleaching my skin regularly and not washing my face ten times a day because by then, I considered any form of skin care as an evil. I hated that I had to do it all to get whiter and so I rebelled against any form of skin care. I hated all the damned whitening creams that were meant to make me beautiful because while it wasn't being stated explicitly, I was ugly for being darker.
In the 90s and 2000s, Desi movies from Pakistan and India showcased darker actresses as the ugly girl in the movie. The one who wanted the guy but wouldn't get him. The one who was pining for a guy who was however pining for the pretty white desi girl. And even if the dark girl somehow did end up winning the heart of the hero, it wasn't because he thought she was beautiful... it was because she had a great personality or was kind or whatever. But despite everything, watching Rani Mukherjee on screen, who I saw myself in, made me feel all sorts of giddy. When she did get the guy and he did tell her he loved her and she did get the happy ending, I believed it was possible for me too, despite being told by every passing aunt and uncle that I'd have a hard time getting a guy, if at all. Rani Mukherjee's presence on screen gave me hope because it told me that I could exist in this fucked up world and expect some form of happiness.
This sole example kept me going for a very long while. I'm not saying it helped me forget everything that had been engrained into my head for the first thirteen years of my life. It didn't make me rethink everything or made me more confident in my own skin. It didn't make me embrace my color, or my features, or my nose or my darker lips. But I knew I didn't have to be ashamed of the way I looked. And that there was more beauty in this world than the Eurocentric beauty I had been forced to accept as the only beauty since I was born . Seeing someone who looked like me has made a difference! This one person's presence on screen helped!
So, for those of you who are screaming out louder than the fans who are very rightfully angered by the whitewashing of the bad batch, you need to stop for a second. If you're white, you've never even had to think about this! That is because every actor in Star Wars looks like you! Bar some aliens and mace windu, the multitude of characters in star wars are white. The greatest jedis, the greatest villains, every skywalker, Kenobi, Rey, Ben Solo, Han, Padme and any other major character you can think of. You don't have to worry about how it feels to not be seen. You've been shown again and again that every princess looks like you and every actress resembles you and every hero has your face!
Polynesians were given a singular chance to see themselves in Star Wars as the clones who were modeled off a polynesian actor. This amazing role that showed us that people of all colors and races do exist! How hard is it to put yourself in our shoes, and empathize for one second, just how awful it feels to see that sole role snatched away ? That out of the millions of stories to tell about the clones, star wars chose to focus on the white versions of the clones. That they actually informed the fans, and proudly might I add, that they chose to model the clones off of white actors? That they went ahead and decided that for some reason it was okay that Tech have a British accent (???). Why is it so hard to understand that its absolutely horrible to see the one role offered to a colored guy, be transformed into a white man who, lets not forget, are supposed to be a new and improved version of the OG clones. And that the only one who most accurately resembles the clones, was made the bumbling brute of the group. And that the young girl who was a copy of Jango is not only blonde, but whiter than any clone ever seen on screens.
Can't you pull yourselves out from your own bubbles for just one second to understand the point of view of those against the bad batch? When they're telling you that the franchise's decision to whitewash one of the few colored characters is hurting them, cant you see why? That when an author tells us it was too hard to bother finding out how polynesian hair works, cant you see why the outrage makes sense? Every decision that star wars makes has an effect on the fans and its absurd for you to negate the impact that media has on all our lives.

Hi (:
Thoughts on Cola?
I LOVE HER TO DEATH. I ADORE HER. MY BELOVED. AUGGHGGHHHGJKDLGHDFJKGHD
Cola straight up one of my favorite characters and I just . I love her so much and above that I fucking adore the relationships she has with other characters ESPECIALLY I've yapped about this before a little I love the sibling like relationship she has with Seven and like. In a show that is inherently a tragedy, where every character is fighting some kind of battle, she refuses to let her life be a tragedy. And I love that. She's this parallel to Seven in this way that yes, she is practically more doomed to die than she is, but that does not mean she is going to die miserable.
And I mean in a show that has such a big theme of protecting others and loving and the bonds between people she is this perfect focus on what it means to, by extension of loving others, love yourself. And I mean, cancer is a very common devastating plot point - I could name a million medias where somehow or some way, cancer is this massive catalyst for ruining a life or making everything fall apart. And Cola refuses to let that define her life, like in a show that is so built around tragedy this inevitable, unavoidable tragedy does not define her or her character and it's WONDERFUL. She is so equally and perfectly naive about other things but wise about her own life and she wants to do and she's barely fourteen years old.
And her constant want to continue exploring herself while she can and live the most of her time left is just so. Chefs kiss. I really hope we hear more about her mom and her origins soon because I just I love her so much. She's so perfect and I adore how like - she said when she had been introduced that yes, this cancer is awful, but she cannot stand lying in a bed withering away all alone, and she will live her last moments the best she can, and this is a belief she sticks to so beautifully - several characters do their best to get her help, and Seven's care to bring her to a doctor who would not keep her bedridden but would let her continue living her life and slow down the progression of her cancer is one whole thing, and the way the Prince of Stan outwardly says to her that her only chance of beating cancer is staying in Stan and in their labs in cold beds until they cure it, and Cola adamantly still decides that she will not put herself through that, even if it will cost her her life. And that's so good for establishing and sticking to her character! I feel like it would be so easy to mess things up and go "yeah, sure, she'll stay until it's cured" because it sounds like such a no-brainer opportunity but that's not what it is for Cola. I mean, as someone who's never had cancer, or even been in the hospital for a long period of time, it sounds like such an easy deal, so obvious to go with, "yes, of course i'll let you use the highest chances you have of curing it," but Cola is written and acts as someone who actually does have cancer and with the perspective of somebody who truly has suffered through it - and only at the age of fourteen.
She's such a perfect balancing act of all the things the show has established about her and they get her right every single time and I adore her. I love the inherent, mundane slice of life she brings into the show and the moments between her and other characters. I mean, she stands to show that yes, a mundane, quiet life is better and what Seven had wanted - but that alone is not without tragedy, but that does not mean it is not worth living every single day. And she's written like a real person, and I adore her interactions with Seven because they feel genuine and real. Both the pictures we see of them together and the moments we see don't feel like somebody writing a scene of two people hanging out, they feel like actual, real moments in their lives because they glorify the mundane through Seven's eyes and very often when they're together they're doing silly, nonsensical bullshit or bickering, and I just. Like I can't even put it into words. The way that when Cola is on screen, when she's hanging out and enjoying her life with people she loves, it feels so real and beautifully written I just. I love her so mcuh I need to talk about her more she's my scrungkhly

Top 5 MarckCU characters and why along with ur fav series so far? :000
The Host - I just think he's neat. We don't have much of him personality wise that isnt fanon rather than canon but I adore him anyway. I've done wayyy too much self-shipping when it comes to the Host. I think we would hate each other but sometimes its fun to be black for someone, to use the homestuck terminology. Kinda guy who I would get into a fistfight with and then we would sit down and watch a movie together.
Head Engineer Mark - I am an insecure hopeless romantic so when we got a guy who would die a million times for us and never think a bad thought about us I adored him immediately. Then he DID turn on us and I was soooo distraught. Then he realized it was all his fault and when back to practically worshipping us. The Captain could've turned EVIL and KILLED EVERYONE at the end of ISWM 2 and our head engineer would never stray from our side. He is Obsessed. I should continue my fic where the Captain goes insane but Mark sticks by our side.
Darkiplier - Imagine a guy(?) who is obsessed with us. Yes, yes, head engineer Mark, I know. Now imagine the OTHER guy. When ADWM first came out I watched it and my first ending was the chocolate ice cream. i was genuinely afraid of darkiplier. like i had nightmares. WKM definitely changed my attitude about this guy.
Yancy - Arguably one of the top 4 most emotionally aware egos. I need more of him. I would stay in prison for him but I would also break him OUT of prison. He dances AND he sings.
those four were EASY choices for me but oohhhh who would I add to this list? Jim? Last year I would've said Google or Yandere. If it's MarkCU in general I'd say Mack. I hate Mack. I love Mack. I want to bite him. I want him to become increasingly concerned for my well-being.
WAIT OMG How could I have forgotten. Stan the Water Man. Stan is my number five no shot. I loved those videos but since he's in Space he's part of the MarkCU so Stan the Water Man. I was about to say Jim but Stan is a lot like Jim I can't explain it.
Fav series: I cannot deny the effort and beauty put into ISWM 1 and 2, or the emotional pull of WKM. The superb acting of WMLW. The fun of ADWM. I think I was most hype for ISWM, I watch WKM the most, but my favorite series was A Heist With Markiplier. My first ending was on Caveman Mat's island, and I about burst into tears when Mark pulled us out of the ocean after the storm. I really love choose-you-own-adventures, and ISWM's all-choices-lead-to-the-same-ending kind of takes a bit of fun out of it. So Heist is my favorite.

I think the reason why in pretty much all of her controversies Taylor has preferred to remain silent is that she hates being put on the spot, hates not being in control of the entire situation. She's been pretty open always about being a control freak and being very iron gripped with her public persona at least, and I also think any outside pressure no matter the situation makes her act like a spiteful child. Its probably why shes doubled down on not saying anything to acknowledge Anas death in Brazil, too many people are asking her to and she's throwing a fit.
Think "oh you want me to talk about x thing? you all keep talking about it and constantly riding me to say something? well guess what, now I'm not saying anything, I'll just pretend it doesn't exist." she did that back in 2020 when she left Tumblr, because black fans were begging her to say literally anything about the blm protests or just in general voice support for the black communities in America but she didn't like the pressure and just silently ghosted and still lets those fans get treated like shit to this day because other white fans usually say shit like oh they drove her off tumblr they harassed her.
She's so embarrassingly petulant for a 34 year old woman. Teens can get away with shitty attitudes because they're still growing up, she's been grown for a while so it's just sad as hell honestly that she can't work past that but tbh what incentive does she have to do so? Even when she acts like an asshole there's still millions of people lining up to throw hundreds and thousands of their dollars at her, her tours are still packed, her music still sells. There's zero practical reason for her to change her behavior, plus I'm sure she surrounds herself with yes men so she never feels challenged in any of her decisions. So I don't think she'll ever change, I don't think she'd ever pursue it unless it was to win back public favor in the event she did something that would actually impact her brand.
I'm sure it was jarring as hell for Joe to realize who he was really standing next to, because that just doesn't mesh at all with what he's shown of his personality and how he is. Like must've been such a betrayal to be with someone for years but slowly recognize that they're actually fuckin nuts and do not care about publicly smearing others, making shady moves to ruin other people's careers (that Kate person from big machine who lost our on being featured on the hunger games soundtrack because Taylor just couldn't stand not being the only female artist for example + the Olivia Rodrigo thing) and acting like regina george in mean girls with her model squad. Not to mention she just doesn't care about being close friends with racists, working with rapists, being friends with someone who admitted to molesting their sister (Lena Dunham), the list goes on.
Taylor is the perfect example of how ridiculous it is that we really expect anything from celebrities especially in the US, they're morally bankrupt and do not give a fuck about the common person. If you've got leagues of braindead consumers on your side you could get away with murder, it's why I don't participate in any celebrity worship or stan culture, you can't use people like that as moral guideposts because they don't even have morals to begin with. If she did, Taylor would've been in contact with Anas family immediately at the very least, would've offered her condolences to her family, literally anything to show she felt real human emotion and grief at her passing. But she hasn't, so it's just another example of her absolutely mind blowing selfishness and narcissism.
You spilled so hard anon👏 Spot on👏

im new to the acotar fandom but my goodness my heart just melts for gwynriel ❤️ ive been reading some posts on gwynriel/elriel and heres a couple of observations:
1. az for sure lusted over elain, but i dont think he has real feelings for her. or if he thinks he does, its not genuine. it felt like he sort of force himself or lied to himself to have those feelings bc of the fact that az mentioned the 3 brothers and 3 sisters pairing to rhys when he told az off for kissing elain.
2. if sjm straight up said that lucien and elain are mates, that means someone is az’s mate. she may or may not be introduced in the book yet (hoping its gwyn). we all know how much az longs for a mate. once his mating bond snaps to whoever it is, do we really think he would reject or abandon his mate? for elain? this is a guy whos practically desperate for a mate. i dont think he would just choose elain over her bc he lusted over elain for a little while.
Sorry I have left this in my ask box for a million years!!!
yay! I am glad that you love gwynriel too <3 they are such a unique couple and encompass a lot of traits from my favorite SJM couples to create their own dynamic and I cannot wait to see it play out in canon <3
Azriel is a tragic and extremely damaged character. He was denied the love of his mother as a child, and was treated like trash by his family. He never knew love and comfort in his formative years, and all these years later he has never had a healthy attachment to a female. He developed a savior complex at a young age. What people don't realize is that as a coping mechanism for this lack of healthy attachments as a child, he has only ever fallen for women who are emotionally unavailable and he subconsciously knows will never love him back. He fell for Mor because she was miserable in her life and was everything that he couldn't be: warm, bright, and capable of love. He saved her in a way that he couldn't save his mother and took those attachment issues and latched them on to Mor. I think Az knows that she is bi, but subconsciously tortured himself with the idea of this unrequited love because if he lets go of it, he has to finally come to terms with his childhood trauma.
Mor shows time and time again that she can take care of herself, and when she slept with Helion I think that it snapped something in Az that was just a drop of water in the waterfall of his emotional turmoil. Instead of dealing with his trauma and emotions, he finds his next target to transfer his attachment and self loathing issues to and that is Elain. Azriel holds the mating bond in high regards- to the point that he is so worked up about Elain's that he thinks the Cauldron might be wrong. Because he believes that the only way for another female to return his love is for them to be bound to him (which is incredibly unhealthy). However, the scent of the mating bond between Elain and Lucien bothers him so much because he KNOWS that Elain could never be his the way he wants a female to be- but it is easier to keep in the same 500+ year torture pattern than to break the mold. Being with Elain would only further his emotional attachment issues because Elain will always be attached to Lucien in some way- even if she breaks the bond. She will never be fully his like he so desperately craves.
We all know by now that SJM is a fated mates writer and is someone is mated to another, she takes the time to craft the couple's personalities to fit with each other without being the same. Lucien is one of her favorite characters- for him not to end up with his mate that she has spent years talking about them as a couple together and how they will heal is shortsighted on a lot of the anti-elucien stans.
This is the beauty of Gwynriel. Az saved gwyn, but did not form a romantic attachment to her. Then, unlike with any other female, he trains her in a group and privately. Az respects Gwyn as a person first, not as an unattainable love. He trusts her to get herself out of situations (look at the blood rite) and pushes her to do more. His shadows, which are a physical manifestation of his inner darkness and his soul, dance and play and are intrigued by Gwyn in a way they have never been with anyone else. Gwyn and Az will be the ACOTAR friends to lovers couple. They will build a foundation of friendship that blurs into being in love with each other. For Az to truly get over his trauma, he and gwyn need to choose each other for who they are without a bond, and then a bond can snap later. He needs to have someone love him without any strings attached.
(Feysand is enemies to lovers, Nessian is grumpy x sunshine, Gwynriel is friends to loves, Elucien is reluctant soulmates and second chance romance, and Emorie is chosen soulmates).
In the bonus chapter, SJM clearly puts the nail in the coffin for E/riel with her use of negative prose and Rhys (who in her mind can do no wrong) warning Azriel off of Elain. Then SJM shows us the interaction with gwyn and has positive prose and connotations noted in their interactions, that he feels at peace and something settles within him. She basically just threw in a million different phrases that she used previously for mated couples to tell us "LOOK HERE. LOOK AT THIS." And then she said in an interview that it would be obvious who the next book was about? I am sold its an Azriel book. I don't think elain has hit her rock bottom yet. In ACOMAF, Feyre hits her rock bottom, in ACOSF, Nesta is at hers, in HOF Celeana is at hers, and at the end of ACOSF Azriel is at his. If she set up the next book to truly be Elain's then she would have added elain into ACOSF and made her a more prominent character. Instead, the next two who have the most page time other than Nesta and Cassian are Azriel and Gwyn. Which mirrors what she did for Nessian in ACOWAR. Every pattern says that the next book is the gwynriel book.
Sorry that this kinda turned into a rant lol

The difference is, Jikookers crossing the line are being called out by others Jikookers. As they should. When are taekookers going to call each other out?? It never freaking happens. It’s been years and years and and it keeps getting worse cause a part of the fandom is allowing it and treating every shippers the same way when you know damn well they’re not the same breed. Taekookers are completely unhinged, the sane ones are probably only a few and they’re being drowned in the crowd. The vast majority of the weird shipper comments today were from them. If the fandom collectively really wanted to do something against them it would happen and it just doesn’t because a lot of big accounts out there are not saying shit for whatever reason but only so vague statements about shippers in general. Lmao, it’s always the same crazies who cause problems, let’s face it
Well, I haven't really touched on this ship yet in detail, so I think now would be a good time... Let's get into it. Honestly, I'm a little frightened to talk about this given that it's such a hot topic, but please stick with me until the end.
Taekook: Passion or Poison?
I'm not sure if this is a Tumblr-exclusive problem, but as someone who witnessed the live in real-time with all of stan Twitter (or X? who fucking knows, I hate Elon) ready to pop a blood vessel, I will tell you that the issue of calling out toxicity is not so black and white. Just on the tweet sent out by translator tteokminnie, I saw several taekookers in the quote retweets calling out the strange behavior exhibited by the more intense side of their shipping group. I think that the amount of toxicity that you see depends on the platform that you use as well; I've come to notice that Instagram and Quora are the WORST places to encounter a shipper. If you value your sanity, please... don't go onto Quora. Just don't. Tumblr is usually a hit or miss, but trust me, I have issued out blocks to multiple ask blogs (both Jikook AND Taekook) that I believed to exhibit crazy and toxic behavior. Many of these people squawk out their instructions to a choir of crows, their anons and asks often regurgitating the same ghastly song in an endless cycle of lunacy. I try not to engage in toxicity when possible, and I think that if we all blocked and moved on, the world would be a better place. Disagree with me if you want anon, but I have witnessed accountability from both Jikookers and Taekookers following what happened -- And you know me, I'm never one to pick sides in an area that is greyer than concrete.
Tumblr media
Like you said anon, I will admit that taekookers have a large group of problematic shippers, but I think that's because taekook is considered a 'gateway' ship (alongside yoonmin & jikook), it's an easy pairing to fall into. As an ARMY since 2015, I can tell you that they've been extremely popular since the fandom's inception in 2013 and have only grown more popular. So, the longer something's been around, the more likely they are to accumulate a huge group of supporters, and within every HUGE group, there will be bad eggs. Like, we're BTS stans, correct? Shouldn't we know that there's a large group of undesirables within us that the general public perceives to be ALL of us? We know that's not true and we work to try to eliminate the problem... but there are MILLIONS of us, we can't possibly have a hold on every single person, especially with a fandom as diverse as this one. I made an analogy using apples a few asks back and I think I'll bring it back here. You have ten apples and two of them turn out to be rotten, at the end of the day you would probably consider that batch to still be a good one. Now you have one-hundred-thousand apples and twenty-thousand of them are rotten. Now you're probably second-guessing the quality of the batch. The ratio hasn't changed, but since there's so much more of them, you're more likely to question it. I mean, I die inside every time I'm reminded that t*ekook-l*ves has half a million subscribers (sorry to bring them up AGAIN but they really are my sworn enemy), but just because they do have that many, that doesn't mean that I think all taekookers are responsible for the group's bad behavior or social negligence. And this is my personal feelings based off of my eight years as an ARMY, but I do feel as if sometimes the infamous reputation of taekookers being erratic or crazy has impacted the fandom's general perception of them as a whole, further highlighting and targeting the group even when the person in question is not a toxic taekooker. I feel like when a taekooker does something bad, it's usually dissected under a microscope and blown out of proportion due to the scrutiny the group faces as a whole. And this sentiment has transcended beyond the fandom and has permeated into the general perception of interactions between Taehyung and Jungkook as well... I don't know if you remember the amount of shit that happened online when Taehyung posted this photo:
Tumblr media
(missing Jungkook's bad bitch haircut right about now...)
The number of tweets (xeets? I don't fucking know.. count your days Mr. Musk, I don't 'xike' your update) I saw that cast a large side eye on the people who posted this picture was really strange. I mean, are people not allowed to repost a picture of the boys? Why is it suddenly weird now that it's Taehyung and Jungkook? I just think it's incredibly unfortunate that some toxic shippers have ruined how people view the friendship between these two. Jungkook and Taehyung have an incredible bond and have built long-lasting and trustworthy relationships with one another. Why should we listen to the ugly squawk of a few loud birds when we can appreciate what's right in front of us? Also, it's not just me, I've seen a few non-shipping accounts on Twitter also express the same sentiment, talking about how negative perceptions brought on by toxicity have made people cautious about posting them.
The 'Toxic Shipper' Label
I've seen a lot of these comments, whether it be in long Tumblr asks, in my own ask box, or in general discussions online following the events of that live: is it problematic to label it as 'toxic shippers', and if so, is that hiding the actions of a particular group?
This might get me in trouble, but in my opinion, no, I don't think it's problematic to label the events which transpired as the actions of toxic shippers. What happened was not only the fault of taekookers, so why should they be the only ones to take the brunt of the blame? I think that it would be helpful to say 'Toxic Jikookers or Taekookers' but even then, it wasn't just taekookers or jikookers, but a whole mass of problematic behavior. I do agree that louder voices in the fandom should crack down on this behavior and cite the problem as accurately as possible.
At the end of the day, I don't care who 'did it worse' or who screamed the loudest in the comment section: toxic shippers WERE at fault. The lot of them. It's like saying: Well, I only burned down ONE house while this guy burned down two... Well, okay? But you both burned down houses... that's fucked up. We can all agree that you and this guy, toxic arsonists if you will, are fucked up for doing that... Both of you should and WILL BE held accountable for arson.
I just feel as if some of the hatred towards taekookers is disproportional, but yes, we should be holding one another accountable when we can. Despite what a lot of people say, there are GOOD taekookers out there who try to avoid slipping down the slope of toxic delusion, who just enjoy their ship just like anyone else would. Any shipping group can fall down a dangerous rabbit hole, so let's just all look out for one another, okay?
Also, you mentioned that the majority of the comments came from Taekookers, for that, I'm not super sure nor can I confirm it. I was watching the live and a lot of the comments (for me) were people asking him to speak English or an equal amount of ship/marry-me comments. I've seen screenshots where someone's entire comment section was just taekook, and then another where it was just jikook. I'm not really sure how Weverse displays comments or how much of a delay there is, but we can both agree that it was a cesspool. Here's a screenshot I found on Twitter: Now ofc this is just ONE moment out of a lengthy live, so who knows. Also this isn't me shitting on good jikookers (no toxic ones, please), but it's just showing the POV that someone had on Weverse. I'm sure there are some other screenshots where it's the opposite. I'm assuming (based on the context) this occurred right after he said 'Jeon Jimin', so of course, there would probably be an influx of jikook-related comments.
Tumblr media
I'm not a taekooker, I'm not really anything (y'all know that), but I am someone who has been in this fandom for a very, very long time. It would be nice to have a fandom clean-up, but what we can do right now is educate, block, and report. That's the best that we can do. Also to sane taekookers, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this, for real. If any shippers or taekookers in general would like to shoot me an ask with their point of view or thoughts, that's cool too. This is just sort of how I feel. Nobody kill me okay. This is just my opinion.

Summary: Bill Denbrough smokes his first cigarette when he’s fourteen years old.
A/N: I am someone who struggles with nicotine addiction. I've been struggling to quit but so far this time is sticking. So what do I do to help me this time? I project onto my favorite character. You've probably heard this a million times but if you have never smoked Do. Not. Start. To those who are also struggling to quit, we got this.
Bill Denbrough smokes his first cigarette when he’s fourteen years old.
Richie and Bev were smoking in their new clubhouse- courtesy of long hard hours put in by none other than Ben Hanscom. The pair were huddled together under the latch door, (at Eddie’s insistence, he has asthma!) their knees knocked together as they passed the cig back and forth. It was winter and even underground the air was brisk. A moth-eaten blanket from Mike Hanlon’s closet that was charitably donated to the clubhouse was draped across their shoulders. Eddie had already made his concerns about them catching the blanket on fire known. Richie had simply called him a worry wart and ruffled his hair. Eddie did not blush. 
Bill was sitting deeper into the clubhouse, his arm lazily draped around the shoulders of Stanley Uris as the boy was deeply invested in the story of Mice and Men. Bill and Stan weren’t a couple, not yet anyways, but they also weren’t just friends. That aspect no longer scared Bill as it used to. When he used to force his mind to keep picturing burning red hair instead of golden curls in his dreams.
Now he just doesn’t care- he fought a space clown, it’s hard to bring yourself to care about social norms after that. They’re not dating, but it’s unspoken that they will- sooner than later. At fourteen (Stan at just thirteen) it feels like he has all the time in the world, and he knows what he has with Stan will last forever so there’s no need to rush it along. Or maybe that’s just what the mind of a fourteen-year-old boy tells himself. 
Mike was flipping through a magazine, casually looking up to smile at his friends, and Ben and Eddie were working on a lego tower that Ben had gotten for an early Christmas present from his aunt. Bill’s eyes kept drifting back to Richie and Bev. They were now sharing a new cigarette, having discretely thrown the butt of their last one in the corner when Eddie wasn’t looking. 
Richie’s magnified eyes met Bill's and the corners of his lips turned up into a Cheshire grin. One that always meant that their Trashmouth was up to mischief. Rich took a hit, white smoke clouding his face on the exhale, and dangled the cig out in his direction, “Wanna hit Big Bill ?” he teased. 
Up until now Bill always declined. No particular reason, just never felt like it. But now Richie is challenging him and he’s never known how to back down from a challenge. He fought a fucking space clown. And honestly, he supposed that it was inevitable that he’d take Richie or Bev up on the offer one of these days. A guarantee that would happen no matter how much he put it off. Like dating Stan. 
Bill looked to Stan who was now looking up from his book. He raised his eyebrows silently asking ‘Will you be mad?’.
Stan was always great at reading Bill so he just rolled his eyes and muttered “It’s your lungs, do what you want,” and went back to reading.
So Bill reached out for the cig between Richie’s fingers with poorly painted black nails. Part of him was a little eager to see what all the fuss was about. Bev and Richie love to smoke so it has to be enjoyable, right?
He wasn’t expecting the horrible taste and barrage of coughing that happened when took his first real hit. Eddie panically smacked him on the back while he was coughing thinking he was helping while Richie laughed his ass off. 
That poor experience didn’t stop him from turning down the next times he was offered a cigarette. The second one sucked still, the third one less so, and by the fourth, he was able to smoke one without making a fool of himself. He never stopped to think about the significance of training your body how to smoke. 
By the time he turned fifteen Bev started sneaking him whole packs like she did Richie. He didn’t consider himself a smoker- he never smoked when he was alone- but there was a certain satisfaction that came with pulling out his own pack when he smoked with Bev and Richie. Somewhere along the way, he discovered that he preferred Marlboro Menthols to Bev and Richie’s Camels. Richie called him a pansy for smoking them but he didn’t care.
At the age of sixteen smoking plain old cigarettes went to the back burner of his mind. Sixteen was the age of high school parties and underage drinking. Most of the parties the Losers weren’t invited to but they showed up anyway. Free beer was there. 
Why would he smoke cigarettes when he could drink beer? Richie would smoke when he was drunk, saying it “Enhanced the experience,” but soon Bill discovered something called Mary Jane and Richie agreed that that went much better with alcohol. So did Stan, surprisingly. Although Stan always stayed away from cigarettes the rare times they were offered. 
At one point, Bill’s brief fling with cigs was completely forgotten. Stan didn’t want to kiss him when his mouth smelled like an ashtray and Bill was too hormonal to not kiss Stan. He’d much rather smoke a joint with Stan and make out with him in the back of his silver pickup truck. Roaming teenage hands wandering as far as they dared go. 
Then, suddenly, Bill wasn’t a teenager anymore. He was an adult at college. One who quickly realized he could not go to class stoned if he had any hope to pass. He did give the whole college thing an honest go before he eventually dropped out. It was one of those inevitable things again. 
When he was in college he was desperate for anything to take an edge off the tension without losing focus so he picked up smoking again. It wasn’t a big deal; even Stan understood. He smoked more when projects were due and he smoked less on the weekends when he had alcohol and Stan to take the edge off. 
One night, mainly out of curiosity (he’s seen it in movies) after he had fucked Stan good and hard on their twin-sized mattress in their dorm room, he smoked a cigarette. He stood by their cracked window in just his tighty-whities and watched Stan snore softly underneath their duvet. The nicotine in the cigarette only added to his smug satisfaction that he fucked Stan so good that he passed out afterwards. The movies were right, smoking after sex is good. It slowly became a more common thing for Bill, to smoke after sex- much to Stan’s dismay. Thankfully he was usually a sleep when Bill did it. 
As time tends to do, it moved quickly and Bill found himself at twenty-two, a college dropout with a new golden wedding band on his finger, and finishing up his second novel. His first one was a commercial success so the demand was high for him to hurry up and get a second one out. 
Except…this one wasn’t coming to him as easily as the first one did. The characters were too bricked in or they were too loose. The plot was riddled with holes and the bandaids he’d patch over them would just add more.
He found himself smoking more and more but he was too frustrated by the lack of progress on his story that he didn’t notice. It was lucky for Stan that Bill liked to write on the screened-in back porch of their new, quaint, starter home. He could often find Bill sitting back there, typing away on his laptop, a furrow in his brown and a cigarette dangling between his lips. 
Eventually, his second book was written and published. It was an all-around flop. A flop that was quickly forgotten when Bill got a second wind for writing and published his third not too long after. That one went on to be adapted into a movie, which like the book, was a critical success.
The life of Hollywood called to him as he went from Bill Denbrough, a humble writer from Derry Maine, to Bill Denbrough, the Master of Horror.
There were awards and interviews. Dinners with big-time celebrities and articles fruitlessly trying to slander his name. His darling Stan who ran his own accounting firm followed him through this. It didn’t matter if he was dining with The Audra Phillips for a promotion of his next book turned movie, what mattered to him was that Stan was at home waiting for him. 
Stanley managed their income and Bill would even dare say he enjoyed the extra money Bill’s books supplied them with. They had a new home with enough bedrooms for each of the Losers to stay in when they visited and then some. Plush carpets and velvet drapes. Stanley Uris deserved a lavish life and Bill Denbrough was more than happy to give it to him. 
The only thing Stan worried about, often remembering how Bill was back in high school, was that Bill would fall into hard drugs. It was a promise he made Bill make- and he kept it. Except for the one time when at an after-party for some awards show an author he respected came up to him and offered to snort lines of coke with him. The author said everyone who's good at writing snorts coke.
Afterward, he felt like shit. Mainly for breaking his promise to Stan and partly because the drug left him feeling physically ill. His love a fair with cocaine was over before it even began. 
Smoking cigarettes still followed him though. By the time he was thirty, he had tried to quit numerous times. Each time was unsuccessful. He just never even considered it an addiction in the first place. 
He didn’t get addicted to coke and he barely smoked weed anymore. Hell, Stan smoked weed more often than he did, and that was primarily because Stan smoked to help his headaches. Even with drinking Bill never had a problem with it. He would go months (albeit accidently because he was too busy writing his next novel) without an ounce of alcohol entering his system.
Nicotine was just a different story. He used it to cope. A good reason but at this point he smoked almost every chance he got; he’d never admit how many cigs he went through in a day. His lungs hurt. Every cold season he caught the flu because smoking had caused his immune system to go to shit. He had veneers because he didn’t want to have to deal with the effects that smoking would cause on his teeth. 
Bev and Richie had both quit a while ago. Richie vaped but even that was rarely now. Bill was the only one still hooked. He was still in the clubhouse reaching for his first cigarette. 
He had tried everything that was out there to help him quit. Apps, journals, breathing exercises, going cold turkey, the patch, medication, nothing worked. He often denied this but he really was a stubborn man so each failure to quit stressed him and made him frustrated. This just gave him the urge to smoke. A vicious cycle. 
Stan had started whispering about babies. A happy surprise for Bill who always wanted to be a dad. Eddie and Richie had a baby girl via surrogacy named Myra and Bill has seen the way Stan looked at the happy family.
Babies were a big fucking deal but Stan told him plainly that they would not push forward with it if Bill could not quit smoking. He would not bring a child into this world with Bill if he was just going to die of cancer a couple of years down the line. Stan couldn’t do that to their kid. 
It was the first time Stan had ever stated Bill needed to quit. His Stanley knew exactly when to push Bill and when to lay back. The promise of kids with the man he loved was his final push to quit.
The longest he managed to ever quit before was two weeks so he at least knew what to expect. It’s what happened after those two weeks that hit him like a horse. Smokers flu. He honestly thought he was dying. After so many years of his body on nicotine, the withdrawal was a bitch. He sweated more than he thought a human could. Nausea would wrack his stomach at the worst times and his chest felt physically tight. Signs that his body was working the nicotine out of his system. 
Stan didn’t know- and would never know- but Bill almost gave in around the one-month mark. He almost snuck out to go buy a pack while Stan was away for the weekend. What stopped him was the brochure for surrogacy programs he found on Stan’s desk. Bill went back into the living room and gorged himself on Junior Mints instead. 
One month turned into three. There were points where he wanted to break down and smoke again but now he had a distraction. A surrogate by the name of Patty Blum was pregnant with his and Stan’s first child. They both ‘donated’ so they didn’t know who the biological father was. It didn’t matter to them. 
When he got the urge to smoke, he went into their nursery and worked on painting the elaborate mural of birds they were going to have behind the crib. He folded baby clothes and online shopped for binkies.
As the months went on and despite the distractions of his oncoming child, the urge to smoke was still there but so was the sense of newness. He could go up a flight of stairs without breaking into a sweat. He could smell the roses from Stan’s rose garden. He didn’t tire out immediately after having sex with Stan. His lungs felt better. He felt like a new person.
The few times though, when the urge to smoke was overbearing, he would pull out the ultrasound of their unborn daughter. He would trace the nubs of her knees and the roundness of her head and he would whisper to her “I’m not going anywhere peanut.” His daughter isn’t going to have the tragic story of a dad who could not quit smoking and died of cancer.
A year after he quit smoking he was sitting in the nursery, rocking his daughter who was only days old and bundled up in a pink blanket. Georgia May Denbrough cooed softly in her sleep. She looked so much like Stan, and that didn’t bother Bill. It just made him love her more. More than he ever loved smoking. 
Bill Denbrough was thirty-one years old when he held his daughter in his arms for the first time. 
A/N: Thank you for reading! Much love!
