Pile l:

What kind of love do you need? Tarot: The Lovers, Ace of Cups, Ace of Pentacles, 6 of Wands, Hanged Man, & Page of Swords.

Romantic. "I want a real love, dark-skinned and Aunt Viv love, [Redacted Part Of Song], That leave a toothbrush at your crib love, And you ain't gotta wonder whether that's your kid love"- J.Cole & Real Love by Mary J. Blige played in my head as I was shuffling pile l. You are in need of a healthy love. The kind of love where you both celebrate each other's wins and even losses, being each other's cheerleader, a shoulder to cry or lean on when life knocks you down, a love where there are no games just pure love, communication, and peace. There is a heavy sense of peace and fulfillment for you, with the kind of love you need. You probably have dated people who wanted nothing but to waste your time, and energy, or even unfortunately use you. You are now working on yourself and if you aren't I feel a glow-up is coming soon where you do work on yourself to help manifest this kind of love into your life because you want a partnership. A true soulmate that was ordained by stars (God, Allah, etc) themselves. There will be no confusion with this kind of love. I'm hearing Greenday- Broken Boulevard but only the part of " I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me and I walk alone" I feel for some of you those who aren't working on themselves yet you have some ways to go before this kind of love comes into your life. You may still be hurting from your previous relationship or if not still hurting you're in the energy of "Everybody ain't shit and you're better off alone." For others, it's not too far but it's also not going to show up tomorrow the window I am intuitively feeling is within the next two years. This is a long time coming for you pile l. I can feel it's something special. Patreon Post Link

Pile ll:

What kind of love do you need? Tarot: 5 of Pentacles, The Fool, The Hierophant, Ace of Cups, Awakening.

Self-Love. Singleness. Adventure. You are in desperate need of some self-love pile ll. You have been on a wild ride when it comes to allowing others into your life whether platonic or romantic and it's time for you to go into hermit mode for a while. The Tiktok audi "Be by yourself, get to know yourself" which is said in an island accent is coming to mind. You need to figure out who you are pile ll. I feel you have some sort of sense of who you are but you aren't sure if this is actually you or the you that has been crafted by social media, others and their idea of you, or your survival mode you where you crafted parts of yourself and chose the "safe" is to show others who don't like to see your full light because it dims there. There is also a need to let go of some people in your life. I didn't ask Spirit who because if this part resonates you should know. It's typically the first two names that popped in your head when you read the sentence but it's time to let go of people who are not good for you or add any kind of value to your life. Not only getting rid of people but getting rid of the old you. It's time for you to walk into a new light where you are glowing, thriving, and enjoying life how it is meant to be enjoyed instead of barely getting by day by day. You were meant to shine and not follow what everyone else is doing. You were meant to be authentic pile ll. Figure out who you are. Do things you never thought you would never enjoy and do them. Learn some new skills and hobbies. Take an Eat Pray Love trip even if it's just a trip to New York, Miami, Atlanta, Los Angeles, or even fucking Houston Texas if that is more your speed. Get out of your comfort zone. Shed your survival mode personality and shine. It's time for a new adventure. It's time to release this old story you keep playing over and over and start something fresh. What are you waiting for? Patreon Post Link

Pile lll:

What kind of love do you need? Tarot: 5 of Cups, Queen of Swords, 10 of Wands, Knight of Wands, 3 of Pentacles.

Friendship.Self-Care. There is this feeling that you pile lll are the type that likes to do everything themselves without bothering anyone. You may also like to say sorry a lot even when you didn't do anything as well as just not tell people how you are really feeling going through your struggles alone. Please stop. If you have people around you who truly care about your well-being please do let them know how you really are doing. There is nothing worse than having a friend going through things in silence and later on axe themselves off (speaking from experience). You do not have to suffer in silence pile lll. There are people in this world who would or do care about you and your well-being and want to take the load off of your shoulders. Stop being the strong independent cap that social media keeps trying to feed people with the whole grind and stay silent. Stay silent when it comes to goals until they happen, not your well-being. For others of you the kind of love you need is self-care other than taking better care of yourself this is more so having to do with your skills, abilities, and even your career. Some of you want to do more in your career whether it's at the job you are currently at, in the same field, or wanting to do something differently and this is the time to do so. Start learning and sharpening up your skills. Even sharpening up your mind whether it's reading more books maybe by Robert Greene on Mastery or Art of Seduction, learning languages, or whatever it is that you want to do to sharpen your mind ow is the time to do so.

Pile lV:

What kind of love do you need? Tarot: Ace of Swords, The Hermit, Awakening, Page of Cups, 3 of Cups

Singleness. Self Love. You may have been drawn to pile ll because they have received a similar reading to what your reading is about to hold on being by yourself, yours is just a little different. Pile ll reading was more so on finding themselves and getting to know themselves while your pile is more focused on loving yourself. Loving who you are and who you have become as a person because I feel a sense that it wasn't easy to become who you are today. You had to fight along the way to become the person you are because many people have probably tried to turn you hard, cold, assertive, or just overall mean and you had to fight to maintain a little bit of kindness, compassion, and some love you feel for others because you know that what others say and do to some people is not a reflection on you but them it's how you respond that is a reflection on you. This is a season of celebrating who you are and loving every inch of yourself. Whether you have body fat, a temper, watching weird shit, whatever it is that others try to put you down for and you somewhat have allowed to let those thoughts creep in this is your time to rebuke them and go forth in loving who you are and what you like. This is a time to go inward and really hone in the ability to not waver on what makes you you. Basically setting boundaries more so for yourself than for others while still remaining loving and kind to yourself. Your pile may also be a bit short like pile lll because it's quite straight to the point with no extra messages. The love you need is the love from yourself. Loving everything about you. Whether you hate your skin tone, voice, body, your interest, whatever it is embrace your flaws, embrace the many things people have been trying to put you down for, and let your beacon shine bright. You were meant to be who you are and nobody else. Don't let the ugliness of the world change who you are. Patreon Post Link

pick a pile: how does this new love feel like a fairytale? ⛓️💗

this is a general reading so take what resonates and leave what doesn't. Interpret & choose based on your inner guidance and gut feeling. messages can be either from you, them or both🍒

𓆩♱𓆪Pile one

right off the bat this is someone whose been eyeing you for a while. they could be the type that stare in awe at the pictures you post on social media “so pretty” or when they met you that have that immediate attraction.. “who is that?” lol them asking their friends when you walk in. this honestly feels like a fairytale because theyve been wanting you for a while but theyve been super patient i heard “no hard feelings” theyre actually so sweet (im getting water sign suns: cancer, pisces, scorpio energy oop 🙈).

like they have no problem admiring you from afar at alllll. they are mesmerized by you. and honestly they could have been a little toxic before meeting you (not abusive, but someone unable to share their emotions in a healthy way). it seems like they dont want u to see them in the shades and shadows of their trauma, wounds, healing. for them you are the light at the end of that tunnel. i heard “my day was pretty shitty until you showed up” they are willing to work hard for you. they are also very attractive & in an unconventional way (unique hair, being really tall, tattoos, something like that makes them stand out especially in their friend group).

💌letter from their pov;

I know you dont need me. you dont really look like the type to depend on anyone. I can see it in the way you eye people, especially men, with suspicion. you question my motives and thats fair. when youre that beautiful and charming, theres bound to be people that just want to use you. that are dying to be in you energy just to get the chance to say they were in your presence. i dont wanna be like that. i dont wanna be another read message in your phone. i dont wanna be another face that disappears in the crowd for you. and i know you feel that way too. that the worst thing for you isnt to be talked about. its to be ignored. its to be underestimated. trust me when i say since the moment i laid eyes on you, i never once doubted you. i know you are capable of bringing men to their knees with your eyes. i know that your laugh makes my pulse speed up. i know that you make me feel special. and sometimes i get jealous, wondering if you make other people feel that way too. I want to give you the whole world if you just let me.

𓆩♱𓆪Pile two

this new love feels like a fairytale because this happened in the moment when you’re least expecting it and also after you’re recovering from something. Whether it be a relationship break up with a partner or you just changing things in your life, like moving to a different neighborhood or no longer believing in certain things that were very important in your belief systems in the past. this is like a prince or princess, waiting to rescue you. At first, though it seems like you’re suspicious of this energy. You could find that they are way too good with their words. “too good to be true” “I bet you say that to all the girls/guys” energy. but honestly, it seems like you’re the only one that can keep up with them. You don’t give into them like other people do, and they constantly want to impress you by telling you random facts or teaching you about some thing they learned abroad or when traveling.

I am getting a sense that they are very flirty, but with other people it never goes past that it’s just something they do in the moment or theyre just really playful. But even as they’re talking to someone else, their eyes can’t seem to leave you even if you’re across the room. You like your routine and consistency so changing things about your own life is hard, much less accepting other people in. So when they flirt with you, you might not immediately flirt back. you might roll your eyes, but you can’t help but smile when they turn away. you could be someone with earth placements, especially capricorn or virgo. They give off a lot of mischievous energy. This other person could have a gemini placement, third house placements or ninth house placements (if ur into astro).

💌letter from their pov;

Relationships have never really been a priority for me. I mean, cmon I'm young. Isn't it the whole point to experience as much as I can? I know other people have things to say about me.. maybe I lead some people on. Maybe sometimes you feel that way too. But I promise it's not really like that. Well, with you, it isn't. I'm just inexperienced. And I guess that doesn't really stop me from flirting so much and being so cocky…But the truth is I crave your attention badly. You look like you really know what you want in life. And for me, that's all I ever wanted. Because when you know what you want, you get it. and thats when you really start living. After that, even our mistakes are our own and beautiful and intimate in their own way. I see the weariness in your eyes when you look at me. I know you're wondering if I am even worth your time. I promise I am. I promise I can be. And if I'm not, then you can just never speak to me right then and there, I swear. But I know there's more than weariness in your gaze as well. I know you are just as curious about me as I am about you.

𓆩♱𓆪Pile three

This love feels like a dark romance. This pile is not as lighthearted as the previous two at all. It feels like a fairytale in that "magical" sense though because it will feel like love at first sight. You both will feel immediately physically attracted to the other but what makes it even more intense is that at first no one seems to be able to make the first move. It might seem too good to be true to the point where you don't even wanna disturb the "illusion." You dont wanna burst the bubble. Also, the magnetic attraction you feel/ that slow burn makes it even more desirable for both of you. In synastry, you both might have a lot of conjunctions (especially with pluto, moon, and mars). I also pulled north node synastry as well (and this synastry makes it feel like you're meant to be aka its destiny. but its also uncomfortable). "I have never felt like this before" energy.

Honestly, I see this pile as being able to go both ways and it can easily make you feel heartbroken. You might have venus-pluto placements yourself or 8th house placements or they do. When you are together though, you both hate when other people interrupt. You love your alone time. It feels really good. This pile is all about intense eye contact, glancing down at each others lips, meeting in secret, getting jealous when other people try to talk to the other, hands brushing as you walk but never fully touching. But then devouring each other when alone (if you both end up trusting each other when to get there because, again, one of you or both are hesitating). If you open your heart and learn to trust and communicate in a healthy manner, it could be a life changing connection.

💌letter from their pov;

It feels wrong to fantasize about you the way I do. But I can't really help it. I think about the way your back would feel arched under my palm. your lips on mine, tongues meeting, teeth clashing. I look at your hands and imagine them gripping the sheets at the same time I grip your thighs. It feels wrong that these are things that have crossed my mind since I first met you. sometimes I try to lie to myself. Tell myself that maybe im not really that into you. but its such bullshit. even then, theres the what if. what if. what if. it looks like every odds are against us. we are complete opposites. it might never work. but im willing to take that risk. im willing to bet on us. even if it falls apart. but judging from the way you freeze up when we make eye contact I know its far beyond that. I know you felt it too. the day we met, how you paused. i know that we would love hard. and fall harder. and if it doesnt work out, it would be devastating. and yet, i would still decide to do it all over again. and you would too. life is too short. I dont want us to be a what-if.

Long Chaggie rant ahead

I think a reason Chaggie get called "boring" is that they are waayyy past that beginning stage of their relationship TV love to glamorize.

They've been together for three years and already have that comfort level with each other that not everything is a new discovery. They accept each other's differences and just support. That's what a well established relationship is like.

Of course they are still heavily affectionate and loving with each other because duh, they're in love. Society loves to repeat the bullshit "losing the spark" problem in relationships and how "marriage is so hard" but most of these situations are people that barely even like each other let alone love.

I think that's why media loves showing either beginning stage relationships OR trope-y enemies to lovers and variants of that.

ESPECIALLY in the case of queer relationships because it's only fairly recently that it's been normalized onscreen and I don't think we're used to seeing a normal queer relationship. Like think about it.

Media has always loved showing the gays as deviant and toxic because that's been the only way it was allowed to be seen. I think many of us have gotten used to seeing ourselves that way that it's been normalized.

Personally, I'm in the boat of I'm sick being seen as deviant and like it's bad and wrong thing to be in love with someone of the same sex. For me, Chaggie has been healing because it's just two women being a healthy happy couple. Something that society and even family have told me is not possible which hurts beyond words to hear.

So yeah, I love Chaggie. It is the best wlw canon ship in fucking YEARS and I have been craving representation like this. The very things that I get dirty looks at for irl, is completely normal with Chaggie.

They can hold hands, lean in together arm around shoulder, quick casual kisses in public, give each other goo-goo eyes, just general affection and couple-y behavior as well as the "been together for 3 years" quirks and routines. Like I swear I cannot remember any other wlw ship like this so yeah, it's gonna hit me hard in the feels.

And when characters like Lute and Adam are disgusted or fetishize it, it's very obviously portrayed as villainous behavior. Everyone else just accepts them as they are.

Of course it's not just the normalization of those things but specifically in the context of they've been together for 3 years and are still very much in love and have nothing to prove to each other and just face any conflicts as they come like a normal couple.

Most media especially TV have gay couples break up after that amount of time just for drama points and cuz us gays cant ever last in a long term relationship apparently 😒 And I feel like that especially goes for lesbian relationships on TV. I've seen wayyy more long terms mlm relationships than wlw in main roles.

(Wonder if that's cuz it's just so unbelievable that women could actually love each other cuz society just is so attached to the idea that all women hate each other)

Basically fuck Chaggie hate. We need more wlw long term relationships like this onscreen. I'm tired of being seen as deviant and likely to be toxic. And I'm not saying they need to be perfect. They're obviously not and have some issues but that's a good thing. Every couple has issues.

I'm just saying not all gay onscreen need to almost destroy their relationship in order to repair it.

I just really find it incredibly annoying that some will slap the "boring" label on Chaggie when it's more likely that a long term healthy happy wlw relationship is just that bizarre to them. Just let women actually love women for fuck's sake.

I am very sorry but this was in the back of my mind and i just have to say it. It'll never be not funny to me how he talked about egg and chips with more passion than the mother of his children💀 (let alone David who clearly has his own place, the difference is so sky high it's unfair to compare.)

It's really disappointing how some decide to neglect and deny themselves the joy, from one of the most loving relationships out there just for the reason that it doesn't fit into society's norm boxes. Instead they drag the standards embarrassingly low, because they refuse to let go of the perfect image they crafted out of thin air or any modicum of truth.

Sometimes it makes me scarred to live in a society where "goals" for a healthy, happy relationship is reduced to diplomatic answers, we didn't want this but you meet who you meet ( uncanny resemblance to another couple iirc), unhappy content due to cameras being pushed into your face or tasteless insults in a medium you know they can't (or won't,due to dignity) get back at you. How can you say "love" when the man went out of his way to say "because of how we felt about each other" instead of simply saying now we love each other.

I think when he talked about that arrangement it was the only time there was no light in his eyes… With David he was shining, other questions you could see he was having fun too.

We know this fandom was in much denial for a while, but we have reached the point where they even pretend things aren’t there (Neil saying David and Michael are in love) yet saying they can see Michael and Anna are in love (a word Michael refuses to use for her yet easily gives to David, multiple times). They have created their own fantasy. And it’s extra funny because “shippers” are the bad guys basing their views on actual things that are said and the body language etc, whereas “real fans” now actually need to ignore things and put words in Michael’s mouth to keep their fantasy going. They don’t see how weird it is that AL is spending her day on social media looking for validation from strangers either. They don’t see how depressed David is looking and how GT is giving them break up songs. They don’t see DT growing more and more annoyed with GT acting more and more like a paparazzi. They don’t see GT blatantly undermining David’s accomplishments, or insulting him. They don’t see Michael looking sad in the selfies with just AL. They don’t see that it’s a different world if you switch to MS/DT instead. They ignore that it was said that the men are boyfriends. They ignore that Neil told them the men are still in love. They have an excuse for everything. Yet we are the ones making stuff up?

I do think there is some sort of irony in Michael and David starting their relationships with women in a very similar way. And I wonder if this is why David dislikes Anna so much, because seeing this shit playing out in front of him, with someone he deeply cares about, must sting.

Sometimes when I watch this fandom and their choice to use denial so bluntly… it kind of puts in perspective why so many people are in unhappy relationships and why so many people have relationships/marriages falling apart… A lot of people struggle with seeing what’s right in front of them. A bit extra, but you know how politicians can get people to believe lies so easily? Because they know people are gullible. A lot of people struggle to think for themselves and will join collective, sheep thinking to be part of the group. A lot of people are scared to say “actually…”. It’s easier to be part of a group. And some people simply are not capable of analysis. Especially when you give them what they want to see - Brexit is such a fantastic evidence on how you fool half of the country because majority of people do not think for themselves or check evidence. And if you give them what they want to hear? You’re in.

about riddle’s parents

I was thinking about Riddle’s family lately and a thought occurred to me 🤔

So Riddle has mentioned in his Groom-for-a-Day/Suitor Suit voice lines that the Queen of Hearts had a strong relationship with her husband, and that he wishes he could share the key to that with his parents. This implies that the Mama and Papa Rosehearts do not get along with one another.

Now also recall that Mama Rosehearts kept Riddle isolated from other kids and that Riddle spent a lot of his childhood indoors, at home, studying. Thus, it is highly likely that Riddle had not had the chance to make friends or go over to over childrens’ homes for playdates—and also has not had prolonged exposure to like… genuinely healthy and happy marital relationships. The main thing he has as a basis for comparison is his own mother and father’s rocky relationship (since his mom didn’t really let him engage with entertainment media, which would be another feasible source for his reference). Sure he may have heard a little about successful marriages in his textbooks (like that of the Queen of Hearts), but reading about it is not the same as witnessing it firsthand.

Imagine how confused and surprised Riddle must have been when Trey invited him over to the Clover family bakery for a slice of strawberry tart and he witnessed Mama and Papa Clover… actually getting along and liking each other. Up until that point, Riddle might have just assumed that his own mom and dad were the standard for all marriages because he literally knew nothing else. What must he have been thinking when he had that revelation??? It must have been really difficult for him to wrap his mind around and come to terms with.

Springboarding off of that idea, I have a personal headcanon that the Rosehearts parents want to divorce but actively decide not to for the sake of appearances. I don’t know about Papa Rosehearts, but I get the impression that Mama Rosehearts cares a lot about success (as we see via her pushing Riddle very hard in his studies). Maybe in her eyes, divorce is a “failure in marriage”, and she simply cannot accept that she “failed” or was “wrong” about the man she married (think about how badly Riddle reacted when he was challenged/told he was wrong)—so instead of divorcing, she stays in the relationship and exerts her control over the family. She is also a well-respected medical mage in her community, and I imagine she may worry about a divorce being a “stain” on how the public perceives her or it becoming a point of local gossip. (I could be wrong about this though, we don’t know a lot about the culture of the Queendom of Roses yet.) This all ties back to the idea of “if she’s tough on Riddle/others, then she may also be tough on herself”.

Papa Rosehearts has not been characterized much, but I wonder if he is similar to Disney’s portrayal of the King of Hearts (meek, timid)—in which case, he’d lack the courage to stand up to his wife and officially split from her. And then there’s Riddle, trapped in these circumstances and not knowing what to do about it himself other than hope it improves 😣

People on this site keep talking about how social media has become more prudish and anti-sex, but I kinda wonder if that's just because you're sharing space with 15 year olds? Like do you think adults are actually anti kink and anti sex in movies etc, or are there just a bunch of (understandably) squeamish teenagers with a platform who will probably grow out of it?

I think about this a lot and have a few converging theories.

-Like you said, teenagers. Being squeamish about sex as a teenager is normal, but excessively projecting that outward instead of treating it as a "me problem" is abnormal. I think a lot of this comes down to the state of online behavior and the factors that shaped it.

-Internet moderation. The crackdown on sex work, nudity, or even in TikTok's case swearing, to appease advertisers. Tumblr's porn ban the most notorious example, and it caused a lot of people to migrate their discourse from a blogging platform with hyperlinks and no character limits to 140 character tweets and one minute videos.

-Everyone is radical and nobody is. ACAB is just a catchy slogan, every corporate PR department has something to say about "uplifting BIPOC voices," and kids who love to tweet about how "Stonewall was a riot" will call the cops on you if you wear a harness. I'm being slightly hyperbolic, but I think much of today's radicalism comes down to aesthetics and branding. It requires no real examination of biases and mechanisms of control. You can dress up even downright reactionary takes in progressive language and be applauded for it.

-The noble cause of Me Too and its weird mutations. It's understandable. If you read about how women in film are treated, I can understand why you'd have reservations about sex scenes. Then again, this doesn't account for "it's gross" and "it doesn't advance the plot." I know we don't want to hear "has Me Too gone too far," and I don't believe that, but am I wrong to also wonder if people arguing about the "power dynamics" of couples in slightly different stages of their 20's are feeding into something sinister?

-Sex positivity is cringe now. So is polyamory, kink, or any non-normative relationships or pleasure. Couldn't tell you why, but I can tell you the internet is full of TERFs and other reactionaries and the joyless, gullible people who listen to them.

-Queer assimilation. This sounds like an oxymoron, but I think the label of "queer" is going through the same identity crisis now that "gay" went through first. We're seeing a new vision of queerness that is fluffy, neutered, de-clawed, and flying off the shelves. If you grew up with "love is love," you don't have to relate to the seedy counterculture of yesteryear, but you don't have to snub your nose at it either.

I do think some of these people will grow out of it. I did, at least. I want to say none of this matters, that it's just online behavior, but everyone is so online these days that it's hard to draw these lines. TERFs, for instance, are some of the most miserable, online people on the planet, yet their real-world impact is undeniable. So many right wing movements are driven by simple outrage and disgust. This has all been very gloomy, so if you want to talk solutions: live your life and live it loudly. Encourage people to live with a healthy amount of discomfort or mind their own business. Everyone talks about growing up like it's just about stress or responsibility, but growing up can also mean no longer caring about things that used to bother you. It's fun! Everyone ought to try it.

Jos doesn't like Kelly, absolutely everyone knows that. They don't get along. And there is also tension between Kelly, Sophie and Victoria. They are much less close. Max sees them much less often than before due to that. The last time he spent time with them was for 1 day in December. This year they didn't attend Kelly's birthday party, Kelly wasn't invited to Victoria's bayshower. And Max's famous birthday where there was no Jos, Victoria and Sophie were treated like strangers, they weren't even at the same table as Max, he was surrounded by Kelly's entourage. Max is no longer as close to his family because there are tensions with Kelly. He spends most holidays with the piquet family. During the grand prix in the Netherlands he arrives late and leaves immediately, but for the grand prix in Brazil he arrives earlier and leaves later to spend time with the piquet. Which says a lot. This is not the image of the perfect family that Kelly is trying to sell. Max has boundaries with all members of his family.

(max has the talent to be surrounded by the right people 🙄🙄)

I don't really understand where all this is coming from as I was talking about how hard it is for a child to cut off ties with an abusive parent, and I really don't understand why some people absolutely jumped at the chance to bring that woman into the conversation when she had absolutely nothing to do with the original ask. I cannot stand talking about her, so this is the only ask I will answer about this. Other asks about that woman's involvement will be deleted.

I believe your take is absolutely right, anon, although none of it changes Max's turbulent relationship with his father due to the years of abuse, nor does it change the fact that Jos is still very heavily involved in the professional aspects of Max's racing career and has been the entire time, which a lot of people seem intent to keep judging him for despite having no idea what it's like to have an abusive parent. This has been the case for many, many years, long before that woman even became a figure in Max's life.

But yes, it does seem like Max’s relationship with his other family members have also changed for the worse since getting involved with that woman and her family, which breaks my heart. The thing is, when you grow up with an abusive parent, it's incredibly easy to get drawn towards other toxic, awful people and get completely caught up in their circles, causing you to detach from your own family. I've been in the same position myself and it's a terrible situation. It's not an intentional thing, but when you're conditioned to that sort of toxicity, you can't really help it. Not without proper help that you yourself need to seek out and be open to, at least, which definitely isn’t easy when you're surrounded by those types of people.

Look, this is just my personal opinion and stems from my own experience and the people that have been in my life over the years, but I will say this: The less you post about your relationship and/or your family life on social media and gush about it to anyone who will listen, the happier and healthier said relationship and/or family life is. The more you post about your "perfect" relationship and/or family life on social media and gush about it to anyone who will listen, the less happy, healthy and perfect it actually is. Every happy couple and family I know barely post about how happy and perfect their lives are on social media. They don't gush about it to anyone who will listen, but they will light up whenever they're asked about it or it comes up naturally in a conversation. The ones that really struggle? The "perfect family life" posts and unprompted yapping is endless.

Before my parents' divorce, which was about 25 years overdue, my father would make the most picture-perfect posts on Facebook. He'd talk people's ears off about our "perfect" family life that couldn't be further from the truth. And the more "happy and wonderful" the posts and the conversations were, the more un-fucking-bearable our home life was.

Again, this is just my personal opinion on the matter, but the way that woman is absolutely trying to push that perfect, happy family agenda just makes me think that the reality is the exact opposite.

Year 2023 Love reading

pick a number 1-5 OR pick a colour: 1-orange 2-green 3-yellow 4-blue 5-red Hope you enjoy!

(ps. this reading is for practice, fun and entertainment as always)

Welcome to pile number 1. Looking at the cards, this year one of the biggest themes in love and romance for you will be to love who you are and to know your worth. You could find yourself tested in these matters. There is a strong need to know and follow your vision and to be in the mind space, where you truly believe you deserve the best and will attract the best. When you truly love yourself and believe you deserve the best, it will affect your aura in a positive way. It's like people will sense that they shouldn't bother to come to you and offer you just a fling or friends with benefits, because there is something about you that just oozes that you are calling in true love. So this year is a good year to pay more attention to your energy, to find balance and harmony and to be in that state. Know what is important and have courage to release your negative and limiting beliefs about love. That's why healthy boundaries is also a big theme for you in love this year. Because when you are in that space of self-love and you truly believe you deserve the best, if someone comes in with no intention of giving you love, you will naturally say no. So this is a year of letting go of negativity, of the situations you don't truly want to be in in romance and to have healthy boundaries. All of this will lead to an overall natural improvement in your love life. You could feel a major boost up in your energy level. It will also make it much easier for you to be in the love vibes and the good vibes and to just have fun and be yourself. You'll also feel much more relaxed. So doing the inner work will benefit you a whole lot. Now, looking at the cards, there is definitely potential for you to meet someone this year, to possibly enter a love relationship, if you haven't yet. Overall, what is coming through is that sometimes it's better to first step back and just let things happen, let the other person act first. There is a reminder of paying attention to that other person's actions. There is potential here for you to attract someone like-minded, someone you'd feel relaxed around. Someone you'd feel comfortable around and both can be themselves with each other. Innocent love that truly makes you shine and feel so high. It could make you feel lucky, too. Also, love is about the little things for you this year, how you express your love and appreciation to each other. Overall, this year luck is on your side and you have divine protection as well. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

Welcome to pile number 2. Looking at the cards, this year one of the main themes in love and romance for you will be cycles and patterns and healing. Whether you are single or in a relationship, relationship patterns will be in focus for you this year. It's a year for you to confront your own shadows and to see your own bad habits and patterns in love, to become aware of any self-sabotage tendencies you may have. And then to do the cleansing work. Because it looks like you could be somehow influenced by outside influences, be it social media, the media, peer pressure, projections, etc. So take your space and make some space to focus on self-care. That is the way the divine can also do and work much more wonders and magical healing on you. Actually, looking at the cards, your pile is filled with green. So perhaps pay more attention to your heart chakra this year, and for example maybe do some heart chakra healing or wear more green or carry something green. Also, there is a focus on nature and eclipses, the moon cycles, cycles and phases. The cards are telling you to celebrate the cycles and to be open to new experiences in love. You are called to shine and welcome in healing, blessings and love. It seems you could be receiving a lot of signs from the divine about love wanting to find you. After all, what's for sure is there is no doubt that you are experiencing a spiritual blossoming this year. A year about you finding your way back to your path in love, your connection to the divine and to follow your path in love. So a year of major energy cleansing and healing and also, divine guidance, healing and protection. Also, looking at the cards this is a year for you to restore and re-tap into your natural enthusiasm towards love. And a part of it can be dreaming about love, so try to dream about more positive things in love, try to imagine and dream about positive things happening to you in love. In general, if you wonder would love show up this year, the cards are saying love could enter your life this year. There are opportunities for you in love, don't settle for less. Actually, your reading is screaming love and romance. The Universe wants you to know there is true romance and true love heading your way. And that love endures. If you are in a relationship, it's the same. Whatever relationship patterns you need to work on, true love endures. Also, know that whatever needs to come to light, will and that whatever healing needs to occur, will occur. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

Welcome to pile number 3. Looking at the cards, this year one of the biggest themes in romance and love for you will be healing and empowerment. First of all, there is no doubt that positive and high vibrational energies are making their way to you and into your love life, but first comes rest. You need first to focus on yourself, to rest and relax and just breathe. Looking at the cards it seems the biggest obstacle at now for you would be your thoughts. For some of you your desires could be causing you a bit of obstacles in love. For example maybe you want to find love but don't trust divine timing and that could cause some constrains. So it's important for you to clear your mind and to tap more into your heart, to tune into it, to trust it, to listen to your intuition. So learn to just rest and relax and go with the flow. Let love find you. This year is all about healing for you, all about rising from the ashes. Your love life wants to come to life, but first comes you. Healing, growing, transformation, empowerment, strength, rising and shining and expansion. That's what this year is all about for you in love. The cards are also talking about like attracts like. If love is what you want, make space for it. For example when you see someone you like, instead of avoiding them, maybe just look straight at them. And also, let them give you loving attention. Overall, looking at the cards, there could be new love coming in and ready to expand this year for you, once you are ready. There could be some exciting news coming in. Maybe some invitations, maybe new people. There could be some flirting coming. There could be a focus on the other person's actions and vibes. There could be much movement going on in your love life this year and major energy shift. Much could be going on and many surprises. Also, another message coming through is success and happiness are coming your way. That's why clear your mind and enjoy and celebrate life and love and all the blessings coming in. Romance is coming. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

Welcome to pile number 4. Looking at the cards, this year one of the main themes for you in love and romance will be wisdom. You will have new doors opening in love for you, if you are single, maybe more than one suitor. But there will be new doors opening and like the cards are saying, new doors are not opened with old ways of doing. For example maybe you've said yes to friends with benefits in the past thinking it would lead to romance but it never did and so the cards are saying you need to choose a new door, if you wish for the outcome to be romance, as old ways simply won't open new doors to romance. So you need to take your time to properly reflect on your situation. You need to be honest with yourself, if you wish to make positive changes in your love life. This year you could find yourself being caught up in some drama, so once again it's important for you to be honest with yourself. There seems to be some sadness and disappointments in love present and a part of being honest is to be honest about your feelings and emotions, to embrace them. And it's not just about you, it goes the same for them, too. Their feelings are what they are. But remember kindness, no drama. In general, kindness is coming through in your reading. Also, for some reason the cards are reminding you that kindness can simply be friendliness, it doesn't mean there is anything romantic behind it. And another one is that kindness should come from the heart, with no hidden motives. The cards are also talking a lot about looking at your foundation and stability for love. Are you truly ready, are they ready, do you share common ground and so on. It seems like you are hoping to create a home with someone, but also that it will be important for you to feel at home around the other person and that you want to call them home. Also, it looks like you wish for love to be found near home, so you might be not into long distance of any kind. There is definitely a focus on overall wellness and wishes regarding your love life. But overall this year could be a year of a breakthrough for you in love, the time is right. And it's all about taking time to reflect and to be honest with yourself and change your ways. You could make great progress in love in that way, especially when it comes to habits and patterns. You really have the opportunity and the cards are showing it clearly that if you grab that opportunity and do the honest work, it very well could result in new love this year for you. Because it looks like new love is around the corner, but it's up to you to not be mislead but to choose differently. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

Welcome to pile number 5. Looking at the cards, this year it looks like there will be possibilities for you in romance and love. It seems this could be a year you could discover new opportunities in love, but first you need to find your courage to be free from desires and temptations. Don't try to push things and just have the courage to go with the flow and to be free. Be honest with yourself about the true dreams you have requiring your love life. Just because things in your love life look one way at this moment, doesn't mean it's all there is. For example just because you are single today doesn't mean you'll be single in three months from now. And also, when dreaming, use your creativity. Allow yourself to be completely honest about what you truly wish to see happen in your love life. It's easier then to attract all that good to you. Actually, in this pile there are strong messages about creativity and inspiration. And about being authentic. Because if you somehow send conflicting messages for example through actions and words, then that's what you'll attract. But when you are authentic, you'll attract someone authentic, too. Looking at the cards, it looks like you could meet someone you could click with well this year. But it's something you more feel than know, it's more a heart to heart connection, so it's all about listening with your heart. It kinda seems that maybe you are expecting some kind of more clear sign or something and so the cards are implying that the way to know is kinda, when you can read in between the lines and hear what is being said, even when not using direct expressions. Something like that. And there are strong red flags as well and temptation showing up in this pile. A third-party situation is possible, but remember, if somebody is truly into you, they wouldn't participate in it. And that goes vice versa, if you keep your options open, there is no reason why they couldn't, too. Another theme coming through for you is family and tribe. Maybe you just hope to find your soulmate or get married and have kids or maybe this year it will be a theme to introduce someone to your family, etc. You might also experience some kind of peer pressure in matters of love this year. Especially when it comes to looks, to beauty and fashion and to what is considered attractive. Actually, looking at the cards you could find yourself in a situation, where you have this shared thought with others that your person should look a certain way but find yourself attracted to someone's inner beauty instead. Anyhow, there is definitely potential for you to find love this year, as love is showing up in the cards for this pile. There could be some challenges and obstacles as mentioned before and clarity will be a big theme as well for you this year, especially personal clarity. And as always, don't forget to leave some feedback, if it resonates with you.

HI!!! Sorry this might get long but I need read your thoughts on this 💕💕💕

Ok so u probably have seen Viv confirming that Vox and Val are at this point in the story not actually dating, right? I already sorta assumed that because Velvette called Valentino Vox’s boytoy kind of implies they’re closer to being fuckbuddies than being a couple, BUT WHAT I CANNOT HELP IS WONDERING IF THEY WILL ACTUALLY START DATING EVENTUALLY!!!

Because Viv did specify “at this point in the story” (tho arguably she was talking more about how the characters currently are and less about their relationship, but still) so it definitely doesn’t close the door for a future possible relationship.

Like I am conflicted because VoxVal is the only toxic relationship I can bring myself to enjoy in media because they’re BOTH just so goddamn awful. They lack this power imbalance and there is no actual victim like how there is with Angel and Val, but for some reason my brain always imagines how nice it would be if Vox and Val actually like fell in love FOR REAL and became more healthy?? Almost?? And thats just so stupid because why do I want that so badly???

Pls tell me your thoughts I’m actually super curious!

OUGHGH NO BECAUSE EXATCLY !!!! since they're just in a fwb-esque relationship, theyre still in a relationship, and i feel like her wanting to progress the characters could mean that goes further than just fwb!! theyre already close, we can see that (i mean fuckers literally made out at the end of ep 8), and i can imagine that gets to a point thats not just sexual anymore

also viv specifying that "at least in this point of the story" and because she says she's excited to get into their relationship, makes me feel like something more is gonna happen between them (WHICH I REALLY HOPE IT DOES)

but for now they're just two fuck buddies with a lesbian bestie thats going Fucking insane over them 99% of the time

ALSO UR SO RIGHT IN THE LAST PARAGRAPH. theyre so awful and toxic but not to each OTHER. they have an almost equal power balance and that could make them a lot healthier than you'd literally ever think they could be . which is SO something i want

#xanbox #staticmoth #hazbin hotel #i hope they get together #id love to see it #also because im the staticmoth connosieur but shh #they should be awful people together it'd be great to watch #for rn tho theres actually angst potential ive already seen staticmoth angst with the confirmation they arent dating yet #UAGUGAHU . im ill #ty for the ask !!! <3 #i typed the heart wrong Three Times

Author's Note: Thank you all for reading! I have a little surprise that will be going up sometime soon (bonus chapter lmao because I can't get enough of moon song!hotch) Thank you for all the likes, comments, and reblogs, I see them all and I'm so grateful. <3

This work is meant for readers aged 18 and over. You are responsible for your own media consumption.

Three years. Three years of therapy. Three years of working cases together. Three years of Hotch trying not to burst a blood vessel when officers attempted to ask me out, and I politely shut them down. Three years of co-parenting. And three years of learning how to communicate and love each other in a healthy way. It wasn’t easy, not one part of it, but it was worth it. Because we’re okay. Better than okay, actually. We made it out. Together. With minor casualties of course, but we fucking made it.

         Haley married Todd two years ago, and they welcomed a little girl named Emma about a year ago. Haley and I have become friends, she helped me learn what it’s like to be a mom and I go to her when I have questions about Jack and how to handle certain situations. She lets me babysit Emma too, and I’m obsessed with that little girl. It makes me wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn’t had a miscarriage.

         I’m getting ready to go out for dinner, and since JJ had hinted that I might want to look nice I slipped into a pretty sky-blue dress. Aaron is downstairs putting away the dishes, I can tell that because it’s louder than all get out. He tries to be gentle, but I think he just hates putting the dishes away, so he rushes to get them done as fast as possible. Since he’s preoccupied, I dig around in the under-the-sink cabinet, reaching for a box in the back. I rip open the pregnancy test, pee in a cup, and wait. I’d been feeling off lately, my period was a few days late, and I just wanted to make sure. A couple of minutes pass and I turn the test over.

         “AaRON?” My voice cracks as I shout his name.

         “Coming!” He shouts back and I hear him jog up the stairs. He pushes the door open and sees my hands shaking. “Y/N, what’s wrong?” I can hear the panic in his voice.

         “I’m pregnant,” I whisper, picking up the positive test on the counter and showing him. I watch him closely, as several emotions flash over his face and he’s trying to hold back a grin, always waiting for my reaction.

         “And how do you want me to feel about that? Whatever you want to do, I’m on board with you one hundred percent.”

         “I want this baby so fucking bad,” I say, starting to cry. “After the first one, I felt so lost. I thought I would never get pregnant again.” He grabs my hand and squeezes it tightly.

         “I was going to wait to do this until we got to dinner, but I think the universe is telling me to do it now.” I watch as he gets down on one knee, fishing a small box out of his pocket. I start to cry even harder.

         “Oh my god, you are not – what – I – “

         “Y/N Y/LN, will you do me the biggest honor of my life? Will you marry me?”

         “Yes! Oh my god yes, of course!” He slides the ring on my finger, gets up, and kisses me deeply, not seeming to mind that I can’t stop crying and my nose is running. We break apart and he rests his forehead on mine, a hand on my stomach.

         “Whatever happens, no matter what, I will be here for you, always. I’m never leaving. You are my heart; you are my home. I love you.”

         “I love you too,” I whisper thickly. He kisses my forehead, then bends down and kisses my abdomen. I laugh and the smile he shoots me is so bright I almost feel like I could fall over from the force of it.

         “Okay, so you have two options. The dinner we originally planned where there may be some familiar faces.” He winks at me, and I laugh again. “Or, we can call it a night, have some steamy sex, and watch a movie?”

         “Wow, that’s a hard choice.” I pause, then say, “Let’s go see our friends.” I take a step back to wipe my tears and blow my nose. “But I’m still expecting steamy sex later, regardless.” He laughs loudly and promises that he’ll live up to my request. I smooth my dress down as he dials someone on his phone.

         “JJ, change of plans. I may have already proposed so no need to be incognito.” He says, smiling at me.

         “Dammit!” We hear Reid shout in the background.

         “Oh, thank god, Reid’s insistence on a fake mustache has made him insufferable,” JJ says, chuckling.

         “We’re leaving in a few, see you then.” He says, hanging up the phone. “Are you okay?” He asks, looking me over.

         “Yeah, just a lot of big things at once,” I say with a soft smile.

         “Need a moment alone? I can get the car ready.”

         “If you wouldn’t mind,” I say.

         “Of course, pretty girl. I’ll be downstairs. I love you!” He retreats, softly closing the door behind him. I look at myself in the mirror, I look down at my stomach, there’s no visible difference, but I feel different.

         “What if I told you I feel like I know you, but we’ve never met?” I whisper down to my belly, smoothing my hands over it. I feel tears prick at the corner of my eyes, happy tears, and I put my shoes on before joining Aaron in the garage.

We drive to my favorite Italian place around the corner. “You really pulled out all the stops, didn’t you?”

“Anything for the love of my life.” He says, squeezing my knee.

“Oh my god, you are so sappy!” I say, resting my hand over his.

“I can’t help it; you make me weak in the knees.” We pull up at the restaurant, and he parks the car. We walk inside to the team yelling “CONGRATULATIONS!” I laugh and show off my ring, Aaron’s hand resting on the small of my back.

“Can we please eat for the love of god? You guys took forever to get here.” Morgan groans.

“Watch how you talk about my fiancé, Morgan,” Hotch says, glaring at him. Morgan holds his hands up in mock defeat and we all take a seat at the table that had been prepared for us. Hotch is seated to my right, and JJ is to my left. I lean over to say something in JJ’s ear while the rest of the team talks loudly.

“I’m pregnant,” I say, loud enough so she can hear me but no one else can. Her head whips around so fast, eyes wide. I laugh and nod, and she grabs my hand.

“Congratulations, Y/N!” She says in my ear. I beam at her.

“Who knew that it would turn out this way three years ago?” I say, and she gives me a sly smile but says nothing. I wonder what she has up her sleeve.

-7 months later-

         The wedding is beautiful – everything I wanted it to be and more. It’s a pretty small wedding, we only wanted our closest friends and family there. My sister and her husband came, as well as my parents even though they were traveling abroad at the time. Haley and Todd came, and they kept an eye on Jack during the ceremony. I’m in love with the dress I picked out – it’s an off-white color and is loose in the belly – something I knew I would need. I’m waiting for my cue to walk down the aisle, and I smooth my hands over my bump, resting my hands underneath it.

         “You’re glowing,” JJ says. I asked her to be my Matron of Honor, needing someone with a level head to keep me from freaking out. “You have your vows?” I nod, pulling a piece of paper out from the bust area of my dress. She takes it from me, vowing to keep it safe until I need it. Reid walks in and says,

         “Beautiful as ever, Y/N. JJ they’re ready for us to walk down the aisle.” Spencer winks at me, and I smile, mouth suddenly dry. This is really happening. They walk down the aisle, and then my dad is there, offering me his arm and a smile.

         “Breathe. It’s going to be fine; I promise.” He whispers to me, right before we round the corner and walk down the aisle. I take a deep breath and look up, locking eyes with Aaron and he’s crying. I start silently crying, emotional both from the day and the pregnancy hormones coursing through my body. My dad shakes his hand and hands me over. Aaron kisses my forehead, then my belly, and takes my hand. When we get to the vows, Aaron goes first.

         “My beautiful, Y/N. I wasn’t sure if I’d ever see this day. I am not the same person I was three and a half years ago. You have changed me irrevocably and for the better. I close my eyes every night and I dream that I can hold you.” He winks at me, a callback to the letter he sent me, and I laugh. “I never thought that I would get to hold you forever. I promise to always love you, to always put you first, and to always take a bullet for you.” Another wink. “I didn’t think I would get another chance with you, but time and time again, you have surprised me and taught me how to love myself. I can’t imagine doing life without you. I love you.” He wipes my tears, and JJ hands me my vows. My shaking hands unfold the paper, and now it’s my turn.

         “I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say in my vows, as you already know how I feel about you. Then I was afraid I would say too much, and then I wouldn’t know where to start, wouldn’t know when to stop. Everyone knows you’re the way to my heart. I hope that when people look at me, they see the love I have for you, the love I have for our family, and the love I have because of you. I loved you from the first moment we met, and I have loved you every moment since. I promise to never stop loving you, even when you insist on making dinner and burn something, even when you put the dishes away too fast and it sounds like a bull in a china shop, and even when you take a bullet for me. I love you so much that I didn’t even know how to put everything in words.” I fold my paper back up and look up at him, wiping his tears, and he kisses the back of my hand when he’s done. Rossi, who got ordained just for this moment, pronounces us husband and wife, and Aaron’s lips are on mine before Rossi can even finish his sentence. Everyone hollers as Hotch kisses me like we have no audience and when he finally pulls away, I'm breathless.

         The reception starts after we take pictures, and everyone cheers when we walk in. We share our first dance, then take a seat at our private table because I’m starving and could probably eat the whole buffet table at this point. Aaron gets us both a plate, my belly weighing heavy from being on my feet for a while, and I subtly slip my feet out of the flats I was wearing.

         “Eat slowly,” Aaron says, raising his eyebrows at me when he sets my plate down in front of me. I glare at him, but oblige him, nonetheless. He knows me better than I know myself sometimes. I watch the room as we eat, everyone is laughing and having fun, and I’m smiling watching them.

         “I can feel you staring at me, you know,” I say after a few minutes, turning to face Aaron.

         “What, can I not admire my beautiful wife?” I blush, suddenly shy. He leans in to kiss me and I go,

         “Oh my god you can’t kiss me, you’re married!” He pulls away and hisses,

         “Y/N that is not funny! I married to you now, dumbass.”

         “Yeah, I know, but it was funny to me,” I say grinning.

         “You’re evil.”

         “Oh, definitely,” I say, leaning in and kissing him.

         JJ gets up and taps a knife on her cup to get everyone’s attention.

         “Hello everyone, thank you for coming. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m JJ, one of Y/N’s and Hotch’s friends, and I just wanted to give a short speech. When you work with profilers all the time, you start to pick up on things. When Y/N first joined our team, we welcomed her with open arms, and she fit right in. Two weeks into Y/N being at the BAU, our dear friend Spencer Reid, made a one-off comment about Hotch’s body language whenever Y/N is in the room. Hotch, for being section chief, we expected you to be able to keep a secret a lot better.” He laughs, and she continues. “When we in turn looked at Y/N’s body language, the attraction between them was obvious. At that moment, we placed bets on if they would last or not and seeing as we’re at their wedding, I’m pleased to announce I won that bet. Not even our resident genius was certain that Y/N and Hotch would make it out together. I may not be a betting woman, but I’ll always bet on you, Y/N.” She winks at me, and I laugh. “Needless to say, I bought you guys a really nice gift with the money I won, so, you’re welcome!” Aaron and I both laugh at that. “All that being said, I’m thrilled that you two have each other. Everyone who looks at you sees the love you two share, and it’s a beautiful thing to see. Even if it’s hard to work with two people who are constantly swooning over each other. I love you guys.” She nods, and I get up and hug her.

         “Thank you,” I whisper in her ear, “For everything. We wouldn’t be here today if you hadn’t stuck by my side and supported me.” She just squeezes me tight.

         We dance the night away before my eyes start to shut for more than a split second. Aaron calls it a night, and everyone sends us off. He helps me into the car before getting into the driver’s seat.

         “Well, you’re stuck with me forever now, Mr. Hotchner.”

         “And I couldn’t be happier, Mrs. Hotchner.”

With the release of more excerpts I am actually feeling quiet sick now and sad for the family. You just want it to stop but you know Harry with the help of the media is going to go on and on about his life and blaming everyone else.

On Harry's drug taking and William.

I have a friend who's lost her mother when she was young and was raised by her grandmother rather than her step father. Her half brother became addicted to drugs, he got into a manipulative and abusive relationship and ended up in jail on domestic violence charges. My friend gave her brother a home with her and her young family when he got out but had to kick him out when he started lying and arguing with her in front of her kids. What her and her family went through with him was very hard for them. They tried to help him over and over again. He stole from them, abused them, lied to them, caused untold pain as they ran a gauntlet of emotions with him. After years and years of lies and bad behaviour she walked away for the sake of her kids and their own health and well being. Neither her or the extended family see or hear from him now.

Reading the bits and pieces published from Harry's book made me think about her brother and what she and her family went through with him.

In the most recent excerpts about their fights. I see one brother on the road to self destruction without care or rational thought and the other brother going through extreme emotional distress as he realises there is nothing he can do or say while loosing the sibling he was so close to, loved and felt responsible for all his life.

My friend and her family are getting on with their lives in the only way they can working, supporting each other and bringing up their families in a healthy environment.

I hope the royal family, Charles and William in particular, can do the same. Time is all they have now there is nothing they can do for Harry now. I really hope they continue to maintain the silence, keep the distance. But I also think it is time for them to walk away for good.

We’ve been thinking it’s drugs for a loooong time. Junkie love. I wonder how many of the enablers—Oprah, Perry, Sunshine Sachs, Elton John, etc… realize this and just look the other way.

The book is truly egregious because it’s so clearly self-destructive and dozens of people must have been involved. They all decided to just go along with it and let him self-destruct because it made them money. I know he’s an adult and that’s how Hollywood works, but it’s still kind of gross.

You mentioned before that “these posts seem so out of character for him” in reference to the photo drops and what not. Part of me has wondered since the beginning if he handed his social media over to his team the moment this started and let them do the posting because it’s not his thing to plaster his relationship everywhere. So if that were the case it would make sense why the posts seem so out of left field for him because he wasnt the one doing them, idk just my theory 🤷‍♀️

Could be! For me, it's maybe not even about the fact that who posted it (his team or him), but I think he would never do something like this in an actual or healthy relationship. Maybe if he were so in love, but let's be honest, we all can see he is not even close to it.

Him being asked to post this by his team, or his team posting it, is basically the same.

To me, it sounds really unbelievable that he would've even thought of sharing something like that. He's never shared any intimate moments of his relationship. I think the closest we got to anything (before Alba) was when we heard Jenny's voice in the background in a Dodger video. To me, him sharing the scare video and then the Valentine's Day dump was and will always be out of his character. He never once wanted to share so many videos and pictures of his relationship with the public because he wanted to keep it private—not secret, but private.

Maybe I'd understand that he wanted to post about it if they looked happier than ever and in love, but they clearly don't.

Re: Your last post.

I also find it deeply ironic that some people continue to perpetuate the cocky jock stereotype about Travis, especially since professional athletes are some of the most insanely competitive and driven people on the planet, to say that an sports guy will never be willing to play second fiddle to Taylor....when thats exactly what he's done. And it's not even the same situation as Joe, where he's (for lack of a better word) in a fledgling career-- he's arguably the greatest of all time at his position in football history.

And he still seems to give 0 fucks when sportsbros call him 'Mr Swift' in national media. Just lots of food for thought on how we perceive men/masculinity/relationship dynamics, and attribute things to them that may be entirely opposite to who they actually are (I have a feeling TTPD is gonna be so revelatory in this regard).

There's so many interesting things to unpack here anon... first of all, thank you for sending this and engaging with my post! I think you're so right about the joever fallout and entry of travis being ample fodder for taylor to explore the dynamics of different presentations of masculinity (purely based on the emotive contrast between the two and the noticeable shifts in her comfort levels, at least from the outside looking in. it's going to be really interesting to see how that's explored on ttpd if at all and I actually wonder if this is what songs like my boy only breaks his favourite toys or the smallest man who ever lived are going to be about...

candidly travis (and jason) are perhaps the two most secure men in their healthy masculinity I've ever seen in the public eye and I think that's why everything works so well. there isn't one inch of travis threatened by Taylor's success or not appreciative of how much she means to people. instead he's happy to be her cheerleader because he knows she's his. there's technically not really any assigning of first or second fiddles? they're just equals, plain and simple. you win the superbowl? great i'll be there. you sell out international stadiums? brilliant! I'll be in the crowd even if I can only fit in a few days. you need to come home and cry and recalibrate as a human being after immense trauma? we have space for that. let me grab some ice cream and you can stay at my house without people as long as you need. you're injured and scared and sore, the spectre of retirement hanging over your head? well, let's see what we can do about that and introduce you to as many people as possible. this is big and weird and hard for both of us? ok. we gotta talk about it and lean on each other

hi! i saw your post about wanting more aplatonic media and i was wondering what sorts of themes/stories you’d like to see?

-People actually considering consent and boundaries with friendship

-Not forcing others into the label of friendship (Lots of ppl irl and in fiction sort of just decide 'oh we're friends' without asking the other person which you rlly don't see ppl do w romantic, qpr, or sexual relationships much)

-People who say they don't want friendship actually being respected instead of seen as sad and lonely

-People having relationships of other kinds, hobbies, interests, etc. rather than always having friends or wanting friends

-Acquaintanceships or less close friendships that aren't treated as inherently lesser or as something that will inevitably turn into friendship

-Aspec orientations like aro and ace not being talked about solely as 'still wanting friends/being satisfied w friendship'

-Characters who explicitly id as aplatonic, aplspec, plato averse, plato favorable, nonfriending, etc.

-Plato repulsion being respected and it being understood when someone says they don't want to be around or hear about friendship/platonicism

-Having Aplatonicism, having no friends, and/or being nonfriending seen as valid things instead of being seen as inherently due to 'being a bad person' or depression, etc.

-Respecting when someone's neurodivergence and/or mental illness interacts w their aplatonicism and/or difficulties with friendship, and any boundaries or communication needs that result

-While saying one can also do x thing (cuddling, saying I love you, etc.) With friends people should also acknowledge that its okay to not want to engage in those things and that consent still applies here as it does w romantic, sexual, nonrose, etc.

-One major thing is I'd like to see stories stop defaulting to platonic love as the saviour if romantic love isn't the major theme of the plot. Its platonormative to imply that all a character needed was friendship all along and that its a quick fix for their issues by default. This is especially troubling when done to a character who expresses repulsion or disinterest in friendship and most ppl don't recognise this as negative but do sometimes seem to recognise its bad when done abt sexual or romantic attraction/relationships.

-Not villifying ppl or characters for not wanting friendship or not prioritising friendship. Most ppl seem to know it's creepy to push someone to be in romantic or sexual situations but seem to think its okay to just 'try harder' to make someone your friend which is an issue.

-Storylines about it being healing for an apl, nonfriending person, or just someone for whom friendship or a particular friendship was not healthy to engage in, to step away from friendship, end a friendship, or choose to not have friendships

And there are probably others as well, anyone(especially other apls, plato averse and/or nonfriending ppl) else can feel free to add on to this if they wish(but not in ways that are exclusionary of apls or platonormative ofc)

(-Rift)

oh I had another great X reader Idea! This one is angst So maybe this will be more fun or easier for you to write?

okay so I was thinking like ‘Illumi’ trying to love his s/o they can have just gotten together ( like 1-3 months ) or awhile ( more like 6-9) whichever you prefer. And he finds it hard to express himself and actually “like”partner something due to his upbringing and lack of emotional/physical support. He could be contemplating something, like their relationship, their status, and wondering why They are even with him.

like he does have feelings for them of course but he is just lost and find The whole relationship thing pointless or something. So sorry if this is confusing.But you can do what you would like with this prompt! I love your ideas. Please stay healthy, drink water and I wish you and your studies good luck

Omg wait this is really interesting, thank you for the ask! Also thank you for the kind words, hope you're doing well too! This includes some abuse to the reader btw, so I'm putting this under the cut as a trigger warning

Illumi x gn!reader : Struggling with emotions

tw: abusive language, torture

He knew that he was going to have an s/o mainly for continuing the Zoldyck bloodline. However, he thought that Killua would be responsible for this when he gets older while Illumi stays, well, single. With the departure of his younger brother (and Alluka) Kikyo urged Silva to match someone with Illumi. "At least he has promise," Kikyo said, and Silva eventually agreed

You were brought to the Zoldyck manor as the s/o. You were a skilled nen user, and your background was vague enough for you to not catch any media attention. However, you felt as though this would be a challenge because of how different the two of you were

While yes you worked with the darker aspects of life, you were a romantic. You longed for warm, cozy nights snuggled with your partner as it snowed outside. You yearned for moments of shared laughter as the two of you ran along the seashore. However, the minute you took a look at your fiance, you understood that you would have to stow those dreams away

You tried your best to understand your fiance (there was no dating apparently, once a Zoldyck wanted you, you were expected to just stay with them forever) but to no avail. Whenever you asked him about his favorite hobbies and such, he gave you a blank stare and told you "assassins don't need that."

Meanwhile for Illumi, it was the same issue. He wanted you to be a great assassin like the rest of the family, forcing you to train with him whenever he found the time. But you would protest against him using electricity, throwing you off a building, etc. He found it hard to express his love for you. Love, to him, was something complicated yet simple. Just like he loves his family, he poured his heart into making you feel welcome.

You took this more as him trying to control your life.

He would force you to eat poisoned foods, tell you that this was what you needed. He would call you "weak" or "useless" if you didn't fit into the assassin lifestyle. Whenever you protested against his use of such violence, he didn't listen. You felt like you were suffocating in the house, but there was no escape. There was no way for you to leave the mountain, let alone the house that you were stuck in. You were trapped.

His love was a twisted one, something tainted by years of stitching together a ruthless killer.

Illumi never thought of you as a lover if he had to be honest. You were more like someone who was meant to fill in a purpose in the Zoldyck name. Illumi was just helping the purpose be fulfilled, nothing more and nothing less. Because of this, he was finding it irritating to see you object and try to pull yourself out of the family. Why couldn't you accept his love? Perhaps it was time to use his needles, though he didn't want to. If there was no other way to get you to fit into the family, then so be it.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series season 4 is shaping up to be the show’s most nostalgic season yet, and PEOPLE has the exclusive First Look at the stars in character, including Joshua Bassett (Ricky), Sofia Wylie (Gina), Julia Lester (Ashlyn), Dara Reneé (Kourtney), Frankie Rodriguez (Carlos), Joe Serafini (Seb), Liamani Segura (Emmy) and more. 

Following a transformative summer away at camp, the new season follows the East High students as they enter their senior year — and it doesn’t take long before the drama picks up, both on and off stage. As the students prepare to put on a stage production of High School Musical 3: Senior Year, their plans are quickly derailed when it’s announced that Disney is making the long-awaited High School Musical 4: The Reunion movie at their high school, and they'll all be playing featured extras. 

When PEOPLE visited the HSMTMTS set last year, many of the stars teased that this season feels like a “full-circle” moment as many OG High School Musical stars make cameos, including Corbin Bleu, Monique Coleman, Lucas Grabeel, Bart Johnson, Alyson Reed and Kaycee Stroh. 

“We've been manifesting it since day one and here we are four seasons later and we finally get to be with the OG Wildcat Group,” explains Lester, 23. “They embody the OG Wildcat spirit, we embody this new Wildcat spirit, and two groups blended together has been so wonderful.” 

Bassett, 22, adds that it was especially moving to witness the OG HSM cast’s emotional response to returning to East High nearly 15 years after the final film wrapped. “It was really special to share that,” he says. “It was truly a beautiful thing and beyond what we were hoping for to have so many original people back.”

This season will also feature two new recurring cast members who stir things up for the East High students.

Descendants: The Rise of Red’s Kylie Cantrall plays social media star Dani, who sounds like an HSMTMTS take on Ashley Tisdale's Sharpay. “She likes the spotlight and when she wants something, she goes and gets it, even if it means stepping on people's toes a little bit,” teases Cantrall, 17.

Meanwhile, Doogie Kameāloha, M.D. star Matthew Sato joins the cast as a sitcom actor named Mack, who he says “develops a really interesting relationship” with Gina as the season progresses. 

Naturally, this season will feature countless nods to the original HSM franchise with the music, storylines and even costumes. “It is so meta,” showrunner Tim Federle says of season 4. “It's like Inception with jazz hands at this point. I think there are Easter eggs in every episode.” 

The major storylines in this season also draw inspiration from the third High School Musical movie, as many of the characters go on journeys of self-discovery in their final year at East High. 

“We chose High School Musical 3 because they're literally graduating,” Federle says of the significance behind the students’ musical for this year. “Troy and Gabriela have these stories about being potentially pulled apart by circumstance and by growing up and that's exactly what Ricky and Gina are going through,” he adds of Bassett and Sofia Wylie’s characters, who share a passionate kiss at the end of season 3. 

As for that season 3 cliffhanger, Bassett teases that fans will continue to see the “aftermath” of that relationship in the upcoming season. “They're both really nervous about getting it right,” he says of Ricky and Gina. “It’s fun to see [them] in this light and actually see them in a healthy relationship because I think both of them have had pretty not great relationships.” 

Relationship drama and big decisions are key themes in season 4 as the characters prepare to graduate high school. “Kourtney is going through these massive decisions about wanting it all as a college student,” teases Federle, 43. “Ashlyn goes on a journey where she discovers her own queerdom in the series.” 

“Those are all things we're able to address in a way that I think celebrates the original franchise but puts a stamp on it in our own way,” Federle adds.  

As for what Federle hopes the show’s final stamp will be? The importance of community. “In the streaming era, there's something real about the phrase ‘It's now or never,’” he explains. “[To] still be on the air after four seasons is a blessing alone.” 

“I hope what people take away [from the series] is that in a mean, mean world, it's really important to find your people who have your back,” he adds. “The world is mean enough, and there are certain pockets of the world that you can find your people and soar and not apologize for who you are.” 

He continues, “That goes for our audience, and that goes for these characters and ultimately, it goes for the real-life cast, hoping from me that they carry this with them for the rest of their lives. That they had a place to go that was safe and where they were celebrated for all of their colors.”

“This was my first TV show,” he adds. “And what I promised Disney was that if they let me hire real theater kids, they wouldn't let me down. I'm so proud of them because when the world beats them up, they still show up for me and for each other.”
