#all of these things are EXTREMELY incorrect btw but I hear it ALL the time and basically every time

[fatuismooches]

So i just read your post about the monster-fox'torre and i got an idea.

Dottore is extremely intelligent, but even geniuses like him sometimes fail - hypotheses turn out to be incorrect, experiements go wrong, etc. Now what if...

As expected, the first Segment creation ended up in failure. Instead of a clone-like copy of himself, he created a black monster-looking creature with a red eye in a middle. Figuring he can't just set the tiny monstrosity lose, he kept it in his lab depths to prevent it from being seen by anyone ever again. But Dottore underestimated the curiosity of bored Fragile!Reader.

One day, Fragile!Reader wakes up feeling much better than usual and takes a stroll around massive laboratory, exploring the endless maze of corridors. That's when they meet *that*. To their own surprise, the little monster doesn't appear hostile in the slightlest and eyes them with just as curious look as the reader. So what does the Fragile Reader does? Yep. They claim the little monster as their property.

Dottore freezes when he walks in on Fragile Reader casually playing with the little fluffy monster in their bed, cuddling it, giving it headpats, telling it how adorable it is. "(Name), where did you find that?". His lover has a beaming smile on their faces and explain themselves but the explanation soon leads to a begging marathon - they want to keep the little monstrosity! After awhile, Dottore gives in.

For Dottore's surprise, after the little monster was adopted by Fragile Reader, their health condition has taken a turn for the better. Much better. They seem a lot happier and the positive emotions keep their illness state stable. How can he not allow the little monstrosity stay, then?

His heart completely melts when he finds reader cuddling the little monster like a severely oversized teddy bear.

- 🐺 (is this emoji taken, btw? I sent an ask previously, but you can ignore it, it is fine 😅)

THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY IT'S ADORABLEEEEE 😭😭💖💖

He knew that the clone making process wasn’t going to be an easy one, but he still didn’t expect to fail this bad. The thing didn’t have anything at all that resembled a human! It was a little abomination, he thought, one mistake of many to come. Though he could destroy it right now, it may have some use in the future. So he just chucked it with his other failed experiments and prototypes, not thinking much of it.

Unfortunately for Dottore, the little creature is more intelligent that he thought and you are also quite adventurous. You always knew Dottore was quite innovative and always working on something new in his lab - oftentimes he’d keep you updated on his progress and frustrations - but you didn’t hear anything about a little creature that didn’t even reach your knees! Admittedly, you were a bit nervous at first, but how could you resist that cute little thing peering at you so cutely! It doesn’t resist when you pat it tentatively, and instead leans into your hand like a touch-starved baby. And it’s so soft and fluffy yet light and you can just scoop it up into your arms! Surely Dottore wouldn’t mind if you just… took it for a bit? If it was important, it wouldn’t be out here roaming the deepest depths of the lab anyway.

He’s initially a bit concerned about you hanging out with this thing because he doesn’t know what it’s capable of, but after a quick examination he deems it relatively harmless. He doesn’t exactly share or understand your fondness (you certainly find strange things to be “cute”… first him, now this little monstrosity) but it seems to make you happy, so he sees no harm in letting you keep it. This wasn’t the first time you took interest in his experiments anyway. And how can he resist when you’re giving him such an adorable look?

He comes to realize that it genuinely makes you happy. The little thing keeps a smile on your face, and it helps you get out of bed sometimes. It’s like your pet, in a way. Even though it doesn’t need to eat. It just requires cuddles, according to you. And it also likes baths, and high-quality shampoo (it has to keep its fur fluffy, once again according to you. Dottore had no clue you were that attached to it.)

…The only problem is that sometimes the little creature decides to lay on the bed while the two of you are cuddling, and every time Dottore tries to kick it out but you don’t let him because you feel bad.

#smooches talks #🐺 anon #fragile reader <3 #dottore love notes <3 #so we all agree that the little fox monster thing is freaking adorable? #i adore it #hehe its cute n all until the lil guy starts stealing cuddles from dottore and he gets mad #u also make the creature clothes too ;( ur adopting it now #what do we name the creature tho? 🧐

[boxenstopp]

it's 1 am, anyway time for walkthrough of my entire rewatch of czech it out. as my brain slowly melts into pieces. get ready for a long-as-shit post.

EPISODE 1!!!!!

can i say. first of all. wtf are these graphics. what were they thinking and why does it kind of work with the atmosphere.

second of all. introduction of the coffee. does carzzy like coffee? is that his coffee? who made the coffee? all differs depending on the video.

introduction of the smiley "i agree to anything carzzy says" humanoid. he has that rookie vibe here like he's very unsure of himself but oh boy marek, carzzy is not a stable anchor.

also, carzzy calling humanoid "marek brazda" every chance he gets, istg. he 100% says it just because he loves how it sounds. brazzzzda.

cut to carzzy calling him unskilled and we get the classic "i've been insulted by carzzy" face. i love that he has these patented modes. so far we've had "carzzy loml you can never do anything wrong (meant ironically)" and "carzzy loml 🥺🥺 spare me anything sir i haven't but a penny" (it has been 40 seconds)

face is exemplified when carzzy goes out of his way to place his cup on (what i assume is) humanoid's desk, cause of course he does.

humanoid gets asked a question about mid and so carzzy is RESPECTFUL and lets humanoid speak.

just leaving this here. btw: "marek brazda" counter: II

i realize at this point there are so many things to point out but i'm too lazy to screencap them. first of all, carzzy complaining about pantheon/taliyah and humanoid who was not listening at all just going "nice :)" and carzzy also needs a moment to register and then goes. "no." and then they start arguing about something with approx. 0 heart and 2 braincells of what they're arguing about. and then carzzy does the thing where he lets humanoid get the last word (thing he does all the fucking time) and just hums like a girl cause SHE IS down bad. (btw me calling carzzy a girl is not an insult it's an um actually? 🏳️‍🌈🤓 moment.)

G2 TIME!!

one of the most important things about carzzynoid is their nonchalant complete factually incorrect statements. can guarantee you they think it's the funniest shit ever, however, it's only funny if no one laughs. they have these voices where you can tell they're trying to make themselves sounds as uncaring as possible. anyway yeah guys, g2 is 10th, 9th place team for sure.

CAN I SAY. carzzy's heterochromia is insane in these early videos. every close-up on his face i go woawwww!! idk if it's more noticeable or if i'm just going insane. anyway humanoid goes on to end the segment with "pojďme se na to společně podívat!" (according to software that seems about correct to me) meaning "let's take a look at it together" otherwise LITERALLY meaning "check it out." or something pretty close. as an EXTREME linguistics nerd and general languages lover i think hearing them speak czech makes me explode about 10 times anyway so. idk if that's a correct analysis :)

THIS carzzy smirk. i could write a paragraph here honestly. anyway humanoid asks a question and carzzy does not answer because why would he.

EYES.

then carzzy goes on a rant about how amazing their coach is only for his genius mordekaiser pick to be wasted on MAREK BRAZDA (counter: III)

insulted marek left, "i'm not blaming anyone" marek right. (carzzy was totally blaming you dude. you're both so horrible.)

carzzy checks in on humanoid for that one, lmao. makes sure that he understands, yep.

NEXT DYNAMIC UP!! the fuckin sad lions/chad lions thing. carzzy thinks they are "sad lions" cause they lost both games.

carzzy calls humanoid a czech, a clearly very embarrassing insult. also he hesitated a bit which meant he was SCRAMBLING for a different insult but really. czech? that's the best he could come up with. pussy.

anyway he's bullied marek into participating in the content and so he actually has to give his thoughts and he thinks he's a bad chad bitch who actually LET them win. also "this guy" counter: I. because humanoid hates calling carzzy anything actually. carzzy is just a pest to him and he needs to express that to carzzy face. obviously.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION!! i love how their dynamic is straight up insult each other until one person goes: actually you're the best i love you so much you're so hot so talented i agree with everything you say i'm a shit stain you're a saint i'll do anytthing-

VIDEO END

final thoughts: ough it's 2:30 am now but it was worth it honestly feels fucking amazing to type all this out imma go to sleep hopefully nobody reads this because really you're wasting your time. if you did <3 thanks.

#lol stuff #czech it out recaps #ep 1 #Youtube

[jaeheewillalwaysbemyfav]

so since you're gonna do the avatar!mc au with the entities you think each brother would fear the most (SO excited for that btw, my friend can attest to the fact that i've basically been rambling about tma x om nonstop since the first post you made that put the two together), i'd love to hear your thoughts on which entity each brother would *be* an avatar of, if you're cool with sharing! personally i love the ideas of specifically vast!levi and dark!belphie but i'd love to hear your takes on the concept! <3

So because of how time works, despite receiving this ask on July 12, by the time you see this it’ll be August! So the entire Avatar!MC series should be out by now, which I hope you will/have enjoy/ed. I wholeheartedly agree with the concept of Vast! Levi, which I’ve talked about before (as you know ;) ), but I will happily ramble about it again!

These aren’t gonna be short fics though bc I do Yearn to save that energy for The Longfic, which is still in the planning stages because a) I can’t pick a timeline, and b) trying to match up the timelines of Obey Me and TMA is hard, especially when I tend to have a violent disrespect for actually paying attention to the timing of plot events in both. I already fucked up a part of the plotting because I forgot the order we get pacts with the brothers lmao

Content warnings: Mentions/allusions to tma-typical Spookies, yet another installation of my Cursed Crossover idea, lengthy debates about what makes someone choose to become an avatar of fear, spoilers for Lesson 16+ of Obey Me and S5 of TMA

What Entity Do I Think The Brothers Would Serve? (Cursed TMA x Obey Me Crossover)

Lucifer

So I put him as falling victim to the Eye/Beholding bc of his whole thing about Secrets and Pride being about wanting control over your own image

And he does have a creepy tendency in canon to always know when his brothers are up to some Dumb Shit

BUT! You know what we see in Lucifer’s character that we see in a certain Entity?

A simultaneous manipulation of others and submission to being manipulated by a higher power

That’s right, I think Luci would be a Web avatar

But Winter, Lucifer wouldn’t wanna take marching orders from someone/thing else! He’s too proud for that— You’re right! He doesn’t want to. But he will.

He willingly submitted himself and his family to Diavolo for eternity to get what he wanted (saving Lilith)

And from how much we see him work, it’s safe to say that he’s a pretty damn essential part of running the Devildom

If he really wanted to, he could probably successfully pull a coup on Diavolo

But he doesn’t, because he’s trapped himself by his own honour code

Thus, the sexual tension bromance we all know and love/insist is Deeply Problematic and blacklist (depending on how much you like/hate dialuci lol)

10/10, would fill with spiders again

Mammon

I put Mammon as falling victim to the Buried for pretty obvious reasons

But admittedly picking a fear he’d serve is trickier

I had to get a bit abstract with it, but I think the Hunt might suit him

Not necessarily the primal *cough* and police brutality *cough* parts of the Hunt tho

More like how Basira was considered an avatar of the Hunt in the fearpocalypse because of her mission/promise to Daisy

See, Greed can stem from fear

Fear of losing what you have, of no longer being able to support yourself, of being preyed upon by others

So people become greedy as a defense mechanism, to protect what they have

If they’re on the offensive, they won’t be targeted

Also, if you’re constantly pursuing more more more, there’s no time to think about anything else

Like consequences, or guilt, or Feelings

If Mammon let his little tough guy act go too far for too long, I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to say he could start heading down the path to avatarhood

After all, people pay big money for hitmen and bounty hunters…

Leviathan

As I said last time, I can see why people would associate Levi with the Lonely first: he’s a shut in, he acts like he wants nothing to do with people/would rather be alone, and I get it

BUT! All of that actually stems from the fact that Levi has terrible self-esteem and thinks he deserves to be this gross shut in loser

While envy can make you want to bring others down to your level, so to speak, Levi tends to just shun “normies”, not actively conspire to sabotage them

He actually does crave understanding and to have people in his life, he just doesn’t know how to go about it

Boy’s got Mega Social Anxiety is what I’m saying (funny how both the Lonely and the Eye can be real bad for that, huh)

But the Vast? Nihilism? Takes all the pressure off

If everyone is a small, insignificant speck in the face of an uncaring, unfathomably large cosmos, who cares what you do? Who cares what people think of you?

Yeah, you’d be kinda weird too if you stared into the infinite abyss of the ocean and realized it was just the maw of a gargantuan sea monster too, Karen, lay off

Plus aesthetically, the great Awful Deep most people fear in the ocean is a comfort to Levi

And again, THE VAST IS MORE THAN JUST THE SKY

I WENT ON A BOAT ONCE

LIKE REAL FAR OUT, SO I COULDN’T SEE LAND FOR DAYS

IT WAS JUST ENDLESS B L U E

AND I WAS ON A CRUISE IN THE CARIBBEAN

I SAW A FRACTION OF THE OCEAN’S S U R F A C E AND IT WAS I M M E N S E

Did you know we’ve only explored like 5% or whatever of our oceans? Think about that! Every Single Thing we know about what’s in there is just the tip of the iceberg!!! GOD KNOWS WHAT’S DOWN THERE!!! PROBABLY FUCKED UP FISH IS WHAT

*ahem* anyway, fishee

Satan

Another tricky boi

I marked him down as fearing the Desolation, as a reflection of what he fears most in himself

I probably could have also gone with Slaughter, but I’d say that’s more baby/early-Satan

Desolation is also about destruction of potential, and Satan has very carefully built himself into a non-rage-monster person

So tearing that all away from him is :)))

But what would Satan give himself over to?

Ceaseless Watcher, I want that twink OBLITERATED—

Satan clings to knowledge and erudition to distance himself from the rage he was born as

“Watch and learn” is literally how he became a person

I find it deeply funny that it could also easily be how he becomes a monster once again

Also if you think the avatar of Wrath wouldn’t have a use for supernatural blackmail you’re just straight up incorrect

Couple that with Satan’s various connections and he’d be a Force to Reckon With

Asmodeus

I put him as a victim of the Corruption bc I found it extremely fitting considering the duality of his romanticized image vs the “dirty” fluid-filled nature of Lust.

Lust can be really nasty, but as licentious as Asmo’s supposed to be, he’s surprisingly coy

(now part of that comes from the fact that Obey Me isn’t strictly 18+/full-on porn, but still)

There’s a lot of Interesting Ideas to unpack there with attitudes towards sex vs sensuality and idealisation vs reality

Now as for an avatar… I debated this for a very long time, tossing around Eye, Stranger, Spiral, even Web for like one second

But I think I’ve got it

Slaughter!

Specifically the musical/random outbursts of violence side (not so much the war side)

Why? Well for one, Biblical Asmodeus is said to “"transport men into fits of madness and desire [...] with the result that they commit sin, and fall into murderous deeds (Testament of Solomon, verse 23).”

But also, Obey Me Asmo’s affair with that portrait chick from the earlier lessons started a whole ass war

Like it or not, the boy is very good at instilling manic violence in people

They don’t call it bloodlust for nothing

Beelzebub

I paired Beel with an End avatar MC bc the boy fears losing his loved ones like he lost Lilith

You could argue that Desolation would fit there too but I liked how it fit Satan better

Now as for a Vibe…

I’m tied between Flesh and Corruption tbh

Though corruption is mostly bc buge :)

So I’ll talk about the Flesh

So uh, mass consumerism, meat is meat, cannibalism… see where I’m going?

Ignoring the Hans because that was super racist, the two Flesh avatars I remember best are Jared Hopworth and The Guy Who Stuck His Arm in a Spooky Meat Grinder To Feed His Buds

I think of Jared in relation to Beel not because of the gym thing, but because his very chill/apathetic attitude towards his patron is similar to how I’d picture Beel’s approach to all this

Like “well, guess I’m here now”

I love Beel as much as everyone else, but he’s not exactly apologetic about his… habits

Not to the degree that he’d actually try and change them anyway

So if he got started on the path to Flesh avatarhood, he’d be pretty fucked

Belphegor

I put Web for him as a fear almost entirely because of the concept of Uno Reverse Card, ngl

It does technically tie into his whole thing about being trapped in the attic, since he’d denied all agency and freedom in there, but… Uno Reverse

Dark!Belphie is an interesting concept, and MAG86 “Tucked In” is iconic, but tbh I don’t really… Get the Dark

Don’t get me wrong, put me in a dark place and I will be scared, I don’t like not seeing things, but I have a hard time wrapping my head around why one would become an avatar of the Dark

It’s not a very “primary” fear imo? Like, I’m scared of the dark bc I can’t see what’s there, ie. a threat could be there and I wouldn’t know, but intellectually I know it’s just the absence of light. That’s not really spooky on its own.

I guess what I’m saying is I can attribute spookier things related to the Dark better to other Entities, so I’m not sure what its draw is specifically

According to the Entity Sexiness Survey I did a while back, there’s apparently some Catholic stuff going on with the Dark so maybe that’s why i don’t get it lmao

Anyway I’d put Belphie down for Spiral

“What lies behind a smile” indeed cowboy

Apparently it’s getting choked

Is it because MC’s entire relationship with him is originally founded on a lie?

Is it because the Spiral deals with distortions in your perception, gaslighting gatekeeping girlbossing, as well as foggy liminal mental spaces like between sleep and consciousness, death and life?

Is it because I think Belphie would absolutely delight in driving someone bananas by fucking with their dreams until it bleeds into their waking life?

Is it because being a person or consistent being at all is too much effort, consistent internal geography is hard, fuck it, just be an endless twisting series of hallways?

Yes :)

i've always interpreted edelgard's hatred for the church the result of her having misinformation fed to her by twsitd + her trauma? like... i don't think she had malicious intentions in that way (don't get me wrong. that changes nothing about what she actually did. her actions are deplorable) if that makes any sense. her view of nobility + the crest system is most certainly not necessarily true to reality but idk. trauma does shit to you (as a trauma victim). what are your thoughts on this take? i'm not sure if it's just me trying to sympathize with her as another trauma victim despite it not being supported in canon or if it's more just one interpretation of canon. i hope you're having a good day btw!! i really appreciate hearing your thoughts on the game, it's refreshing to hear more critical opinions on it instead of just "edelgard is evil" vs "edelgard is a hero"

i’ve always interpreted edelgard’s hatred for the church the result of her having misinformation fed to her by twsitd + her trauma? like... i don’t think she had malicious intention in that way (don’t get me wrong. that changes nothing about what she did. her actions are deplorable. if that makes any sense.

oh absolutely. i don’t believe edelgard came out of her mother’s womb hating the nabateans/church. i believe she came out very stubborn and bossy but that’s completely normal personality traits that i have as well lol. since birth she was given extremely unreliable and incorrect information by twsitd. @blarfshnorgull (tumblr isn’t letting me tag so i’ll link them) has some really good opinions and theory on how ionius might have manipulated her as well so you might want to ask them about that. but yeah, if she didn’t go through twsitd and the empire’s propaganda and lies i think her relationship with them could have been completely different.

her view of nobility + the crest system is most certainly not necessarily true to reality but idk. trauma does shit to you (as a trauma victim). what are your thoughts on this take? i'm not sure if it's just me trying to sympathize with her as another trauma victim despite it not being supported in canon or if it's more just one interpretation of canon.

once again, i agree! the shit edelgard went through bc of twsitd as a child very clearly affected her and made her hyper focus on the crest system. same with how the tragedy of duscur fucked dimitri’s mind almost beyond repair and the red canyon massacre has made rhea willing to do anything to keep it from happening again. all these characters act and think the way they do (rational or not) because of the trauma they went though and el is no exception.

i hope you're having a good day btw!! i really appreciate hearing your thoughts on the game, it's refreshing to hear more critical opinions on it instead of just "edelgard is evil" vs "edelgard is a hero"

i hope you have a good day too! i’m glad you don’t hate me talking my nonsense all day lol but like you said, i don’t think this it’s fair to say edelgard is evil or a hero. she’s neither of those things. she’s the villain of the story but at the same time she’s a human girl who was manipulated, pushed to her limit, and thought she was doing the right thing. does it excuse her actions? no. but it provides context

#feel free to send another ask is you have more to say in anything else! #asks #edelgard von hresvelg

[thatincorrectquotegeneratorguy]

Hi! I have a suggestion for a feature! I saw that you'll be accepting nsfw quotes, so what do you think about feature that you can choose if it shows you nsfw quotes and doesn't show it? I personally don't like anything nsfw and wouldn't like to see anything nsfw (I'm not even 18+ years old). If it's too hard or you don't want to do this it's absolutely ok! I just wanted to atleast suggest this! Sorry if this sounds rude or annoying.

(Btw your incorrect quote generator is amazing!!! Love it!)

Have a good day/night!

Hey anon! I’m glad to hear you’ve been enjoying the generator :D

I do plan on implementing this, but it’s gonna take me going through all of the quotes and sorting them, which can be kinda time consuming, so I’m not planning on doing it extremely soon because I’ve got some school stuff coming up, but I will do it eventually (I’ll start work on it in the summer at the latest).

Until then, I’ve been trying to sort all quotes that have dirty jokes in the shipping section, so toggling that off should remove the worst of the nsfw (although I can’t guarantee I haven’t missed a few, and if you still end up running into one then I apologize, and please submit a bug report so I can get that sorted right). I know it isn’t a perfect solution, but it’s the closest we’ll be getting for a little while.

However, if by nsfw you mean more than just dirty jokes and are including things like implication of committing crimes or something like that, I’m not sure if I’ll be sorting things like that into nsfw. This is mostly because the main chunk of things defined as nsfw besides dirty jokes is gore, and I don’t think any of the quotes in the generator are particularly gorey (of course, I don’t have them memorized, so I might be missing something).

59 for the prompt thing!!

59. “I could punch you right now.”

Thank you so much for send this in, I’ve had such a fun time writing it! And I’m sorry it’s coming so late, I hope it was worth the wait :) I know nothing about sports btw so I blame google for incorrect information

Summary: Eddie and Richie have a combat sports’ class together.

Important: Despite the events in this that may give off vibes of Eddie being abusive or having really agressive episodes, I promise my intentions weren’t those, he doesn’t really want to hurt anyone. He’s that feisty firecracker that gets angry easily and wants to punch things, not people! He does punch Richie, yes, but I think under these circumstances, anyone would have done the same if they has just met the person. It just happens that they’re into each other here.

Throw me a punch, I’ll fallfor you (AO3)

“Alright, everyone!” The instructor,Mike, has a sturdy voice to go along with his impressive strong body.

Eddie used to feel intimated (if notflustered) at the sight of his trainer back at the beginning of his classeswith the guy. Now, he knows it’s more of a façade, a slightly less usual sideof Mike to impose respect upon his students.

Eddie got into combat sports as away of learning how to defend himself. He could have chosen to takeself-defence classes only, sure, but he is also very much into sports. In thisspecific class, he is taught a variety of fighting techniques from many sports,like boxing, wrestling or martial arts. This way he can take out his daily rageand inner unhealthy anger while learning useful moves to take over any guytaller than him. Which is pretty much all of them.

He also has some anger issues, asper say. It got to the point where Eddie couldn’t take the subway anymore toget to work because he’d have to physically restrain himself from punchingevery jerk who kept pushing him aggressively. The height doesn’t’ help, alwaysa factor that screams ‘I can’t fight you back so you can disrespect me!’.

Well, Eddie had enough of that. Nowit’s been over a year since he signed himself up for fighting classes, and hislooks have changed, enough that no one really wants to mess up with him when he’swearing more revealing clothing. The kick boxing lessons, mostly, shaped himwell, along with all the other physical activity he indulges in, like running.His legs, arms and shoulders definitely show off his abilities and serve has awarning.

Too bad he chose to wear a bigsweater and sweatpants today.

“So, today’s class will be a littledifferent.” Mike keeps projecting his voice around the big gym room. His back isfacing the mirrored wall and, once again, Eddie can’t help but ogle up his darkskin reflecting the white lights in that perfect, distracting manner. He canfeel his face a little hot, despite having yet to start sweating.

“You might be wondering who theother half of today’s class is.”

With that statement, Eddie’sattention finally falls on the other side of the room. He stares at the other eightpeople that fill up the gym besides his own classmates. By his side, he hearsBeverly whispering.

“I’ve never seen them around here.”

Ben quietly adds “Me neither.”

Eddie thinks about saying somethingback, but his tongue gets tied at the last second when his eyes fall on a newsubject of observation.

There’s a guy that looks like aleaf, way easy to knock down if someone blows air his way.His pale skin contrasts harshly with the darkness of his hair. He’s staring intentlyat the floor, clearly not listening to a thing Mike is saying, and he lookskind of dumb standing there in his dark purple hoodie and dark grey shortspaired up with checkerboard socks.

Eddie’s first coherent thought is thathe looks like an idiot. The second one is ‘Theprofile view certainly makes up for that…’ as he shamelessly checks him outsilently, eyes trailing over the slight arch of the man’s nose.

Completely distracted, Eddie doesn’tpay attention to Mike’s voice.

“To my right side,” The trainergestures a hand to Eddie’s side of the room, where he stands along with his twofriends and the few other familiar faces he sees on a weekly basis. “I have oneof my advanced classes.”

Never tearing his deadpan stare awayfrom the stranger on the other side of the room, Eddie watches as the lankyman’s eyes carelessly lift from the floor and travel the unknown faces of Eddie’sgroup.

‘Fuck,he’s even more attractive from the front.’ It’sa dumb thought, Eddie has a lot of those.

He fails to react quickly enough andhis breath hitches when their eyes meet. But god forbid if Eddie so much asflinched. With his cold, neutral eyes, Eddie glares right back and waits forthe other guy to look away. But that doesn’t happen. The man’s uninterestedposture changes, his back straightens, and his lips lift up in a teasing smirk.

‘Whothe fuck is this guy?’

Eddie feels himself get defensive (andred) alarmingly fast. Is he being mocked?

“To my left, I introduce you ournewest students. We’ve had a handful of classes so far, which, I’m sad toinform, makes you beginners.”

A few chuckles emerge from bothgroups, but for Eddie and the stranger, a staring contest seems more importantat the moment.

Eddie squares up a little, unsuccessfullytries to make himself look taller (it’s a big issue for him, okay?) and liftsup one eyebrow while stuffing both hands on the front pocket of his sweater.

If the way he’s being stared at isn’tenough to keep him on the edge and annoyed, the fucker on the other side of theroom decides to drag his eyes up and down Eddie’s body and lick his lips,somehow keeping the smirk plastered on his face, which only makes him lookextremely stupid and desperate. But holy shit, if that doesn’t heat up Eddie’sinsides and almost makes him lose his unbothered disguise.

So, definitely not being mocked.

He hears Bev’s quiet giggles by hisside but doesn’t give them a second thought.

Mike claps his hands to gather upeveryone’s attention. The sound makes Eddie jolt up, surprised, and uncertainlyturn to face his instructor with an inevitable frown. He’s probably blushing,too, but it’s not like he can help it. His jaw twitches with frustration as hetries to focus.

“Now, as you can see, I’ve gatheredyou all here, beginners and advanced.” Mike continues his explanations whilewalking mindlessly from side to side with both hands behind his back. “I’vedecided to pair you up for learning purposes. I’m sure my advanced studentswill be able to teach you something today.” He speaks directly to the beginnersbefore turning to face Eddie’s side. “And I’m sure you guys will be able torecognise your own past mistakes on our newbies.”

Eddie nods in response, trying hard toignore the holes forming on the side of his face from the jerk’s consistentstaring from the other side of the room.

“We’ll be working in pairs, I’llgive you more directions as we go but the goal today is for you to learn fromeach other. You can start by warming up. And make a few introductions whileyou’re at it. Get to know your enemy a little better.”

Great, socializing is just whatEddie signed up for with this gym membership.

As usual, he follows Beverly and Bento their left corner near the mirrors to do casual muscle warm ups. He forceshimself to keep his back to the rest of the class, or he knows he’ll be lookingplaces he shouldn’t. But turns out his friends, or so he thought they were, arein a mood to tease him. After a few minutes of torso, shoulder and armrotations and stretches, Beverly elbows his side, knocking the air out ofEddie’s chest.

“What was that for?” He hisses ather. Beverly simply nods her head past Eddie’s back, and he can almost guesswhat she’s going to say.

“Looks like you’ve got yourself anadmirer.”

Eddie fights against the urge to takea look. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Sure you don’t, cowboy. He hasn’tstopped staring at your ass since you turned around.” She rolls her eyes at himbefore resuming her exercises. Eddie flips her the bird discreetly and triesnot to feel too invaded now that he knows he’s being checked out.

Ben also steals a glance behindEddie’s back, and by this point Eddie’s more than ready to snap at both of themto quit being so obvious. Instead, he shuts the urge down and starts with hiswrist stretches.

“I feel kind of bad for him,though.” Ben speaks with a sided soft smile. Eddie drops both arms and sighs,throwing his head back.

“Yeah.” Bev agrees. “He looks like he’dpay you to crush his head with your thighs anytime.”

“Bev!”Eddie screeches, feeling the blood pump up to his ears. “You can’t just saystuff like that when we’re in public!” He keeps his angry ranting at her, sheonly laughs back. Eddie notices Ben’s face pale up at something behind his back,and he stops talking abruptly, assuming that the stranger was coming up theirway. Eddie stifles up a groan, but once he hears Mike’s, now softer, voiceapproaching them, he feels his shoulders relax.

“Hi, Mike!” Bev greets himcheerfully.

“Hey guys, how are you doing?”

Truth is, Mike is more than theirtrainer. They’ve all become close friends during the past year of weeklymeetings. That doesn’t mean Eddie can’t think Mike’s hot, because he is, and heknows that his friends think the same. Mike knows it, too, and they all have agood laugh out of it. It’s just how they work.

“Eddie has a crush.”

Ben, for fuck’s sake, Ben says it and throws an arm aroundEddie’s shoulders. He feels betrayed.

“No,I fucking do not. Don’t listen to them, Mike.” He pushes Ben’s arm away, stillvery much making sure not to turn around and have any possible eye contact withthe subject of their conversation.

With a warm laugh, Mike crosses hisarms. “And who, may I ask, is this not-a-crush?”

Eddie mumbles and curses under hisbreath while pinching the bridge of his nose. He waits for either of his‘awful’ friends to answer for him, but everyone just stares at him expectantly.So, Eddie sighs in defeat.

“See the stick-figure guy with thepurple sweater?” He whispers through his frown. Mike pretends to look at all ofhis students for a while, then nods. Eddie continues. “He was just staring, okay? With a creepy smirk thattotally never in a million years wouldwork on me.” He rushes through the end while bending down to grab his knee up,keeping a perfect balance and feeling the pull on his thigh.

“Are you sure?” Mike asks with fakewondering. “He sort of fits your type.”

“That’s it, I’m quitting. You guysare the worst friends.”

Mike laughs and winks at him. “It’sa shame I’m the best teacher, though.” And starts walking away.

Oh no.

“Don’t you dare do anything. Mike!” Eddiewhispers sharply and stares at Mike’s back as he walks away. He feels Bev’sweight on his shoulder.

“Sounds like today’s class will beinteresting for you. Have fun.” And off she goes, skipping in her steps tointroduce herself to one of the new students.

After the individual warm ups areover with, Mike starts by ordering everyone to form pairs. Ben gives Eddie asmall pat on the back before making his way to a neat looking guy who seems tohave been dragged here against his own will. Eddie stays behind, feelingchildish for not being able to act like a normal adult and go up to anyone. It’slike he’s gone back in time too many years, to the days when he’d be left forlast on gym class. He decides to stride over to the wire-wheeled cart thatstores the softest, smallest, beginner’s appropriate gloves and pads.

From the corner of his eye, he apprehensivelywatches Mike approach the weird/hot/idiot stranger. They chat for a total of 4seconds, before pale guy is looking around and, once more, locking eyes withEddie. Eddie tries, to no avail, to pretend like he wasn’t caught staring bysnapping his head back to the cart and retrieving the cleanest looking pair ofgloves and pads.

He also pretends not to see the manapproaching, faking surprise when the stranger invades his personal space.

“Hey, darlin. Looks like we’repartners.” He says smoothly.

Eddie struggles with the grip on theboxing gear, close to letting it fall, and reluctantly turns his neck to starein disbelief at the man.

Okay, he’s taller than expected.

“I think I need to agree tothat first. And ‘darling’ is not a great way to convince me.” Eddieemphasizes the nickname.

“What’d you rather have me callyou?” The guy leans his weight on the cart. With his free hand, Eddie rushesto hold the cart in place before it starts to slowly roll away. “Sporty?Cutie? I could go with Master, Sir, Boss. You’re in charge of me, today.” Hewinks, then, and Eddie lets go of the cart, letting it stride away under theman’s weight. He tries not to look too entertained when the guy gets startledby the movement and struggles to keep himself upright without falling.

“How about Eddie? It’s myname.” Eddie starts walking away, already knowing he’ll be followed, so hekeeps talking. “And I’m not the boss of you, let’s try and keep thisprofessional and act like the adults we are, shall we?” What a moral,Eddie.

“You sure sound a little bossy,Eds.” The nameless man smirks. “Whatever you say, though. I’mRichie.” Richie, apparently, holds out his hand for Eddie to shake.Instead, all Eddie does is to toss the gloves on Richie’s outstretched handmore forcefully than needed.

“It’s Eddie.” He says before slidinghis own hands on the pads’ holders. “So, I assume you’ve already done thesekind of pair exercises?” He asks once Richie’s got the gloves on properly.

“Guess you could say I’m an expert.”Richie replies and flexes one arm over his shoulder, even though it’scompletely submerged by the baggy sweater.

Eddie lifts up one eyebrow.

“Impressive. Why don’t you proveit?” He immediately squares up and holds both pads firmly between their bodies.Richie seems slightly surprised by the suggestive tone and upfront posture, buthe quickly recovers and gets into position.

If he’s going to be a tease, Eddiecan be one back.

They’re at this for a while, butEddie isn’t being the nicest. Richie is doing exactly what he’s supposed to,punching the pads. He’s got a good technique, not that Eddie would ever tellhim that, so he tries to push limits by screaming at him between hits. Thingslike:

“Is that all you got?”

“C’mon, that’s a joke.”

“Harder! You’re not even trying!”

And when 10 minutes pass by, Richieis sweating, frustrated and a little huffy. His good natured smirks are gone.In the beginning, he tried to be a good sport, started by throwing off hiscrude jokes and stupid comments, but he gave that up once he got riled up byEddie’s demands.

Of course, Eddie is beaming.

“You’re not the worst, but clearlystill an amateur.” Eddie says while untying the pads of his hands. Hisbreathing is jagged, but Richie’s way worse. “Here, let me show you.” He holdshis hand out, and so, Richie tosses him the gloves, clearly annoyed with havinghis butt kicked only by words.

Once they’ve both traded positions,Eddie wastes no time in throwing a heavy fist right into Richie’s unpreparedgrip. He stumbles backwards on his feet when his arm is pushed back against hisown mid-section, taking the air out of his chest with a little ‘oof’.

Eddie can see the exact momentRichie starts to get really bothered.His nostrils flare, shoulders square back, and his jaw tenses up. If he could,Eddie would smile victoriously.

With a fake neutral expression thatbegs to be cracked into laughs, Eddie asks him. “Are you sure you can take it?You seem like you’re struggling.”

Richie scoffsand gets in position. “Yeah, right. Just get on with it.”

‘Show-off.’ Richiethinks.

Eddie keepsthrowing punch after punch with extra unneeded strength, Richie keepsstruggling to keep himself upright but never once backs down. By the end of theirnext 10 minute round, Richie’s neck veins are prominent with the need ofproving his worth, and droplets of sweat are dotting his face. Eddie isn’t farbehind.

Not too longafter this, Mike lets everyone have a break and leads the class into anothergym room with padded, softer floor. Eddie is familiar with it.

They’re doingfree combat. In other words, submission grappling moves. It makes him a littlenervous.

Eddie turns toRichie to ask him if he has ever even done something like this, but he findsthat Richie is no longer by his side. Eddie looks around in confusion beforefinding him ahead, chatting with the clean boy he saw early. The expression inRichie’s face is one between a frown and a smirk, as if he is conflicted withwhatever they were talking, while he slides his hands through the new pair ofgloves needed for their next practice.

Eddie has afeeling that Richie can be talking about him, and not in a good way. It’s justthe type of person Eddie is, anxiety catches him in social environments.

‘Chill out, he barely knows you.’

Eddieapproaches him slowly, not wanting to invade anyone’s conversation but ratherjust wanting to go get his own pair of gloves, stored in another cart nearRichie and the other boy. Before he can get close enough, Richie and his friendsplit up and he retrieves a second pair of gloves from the cart, striding isway to Eddie. He passes him the equipment without a word.

Eddie puts themon and murmurs a ‘thanks’ under his breath.

“Have youhad any class here, yet?” Eddie asks, genuinely wondering.

“We had acouple by now. Why?”

“Nothing.Just wasn’t sure how much of a beginner Mike meant.”

Both of them maketheir way to a free spot.

“Mike? Ourtrainer?” Richie asks, a smile finally making a reappearance. Eddie nods.“Didn’t know you were on the first name basis with the guy.”

Eddie stares athim for a moment, Richie is fixing up the felt straps around his wrists and hissmile seems a little different. Their tired breaths fill in the seconds ofsilence.

“Yeah,we’re pretty close friends.”

Richiechuckles. “Oh, guess it makes sense, now.”

Eddie looks athim quizzically. “What do you mean?”

Richie looks upfrom his hands and shrugs. “He told me you wanted to be paired up with metoday.”

“He what, now?” There’s a short circuit inEddie’s brain. It must be a pretty scary sight because Richie’s chuckles diedown and his smile falls.

“Hey now,no need to get mad, Eds. T'was just a joke, right? And it’s not that bad towork with me, admit it.” He asks, there’s a tint of something seriousbehind his playful tone.

Eddie scoffsbut contains his frustration. “I’m not mad at you, I’m mad at him. Hecould have simply pair us up, for fuck’s sake.”

“So, you’renot against it?”

Eddie eyes himsideways. “I never said that.” Richie clicks his tongue in responseand Eddie decides it’s best to change topics. “Ready to get your asskicked?”

“You know,that’s fine material for a sex joke but I’m passing it up ‘cause my ego’s waytoo hurt.”

“Ah, Isee. Finally admitting I’m better?”

“You know,Eds.” Richie ignores when Eddie corrects the nickname. “You really shouldn’tthink so high of yourself. But in the meantime, teach me some moves, will ya?”

The tensionbetween them seems to slip way after that, both of them falling into a fit ofgiggles before resuming their posture to be productive.

Eddie spendsthe next 20 minutes recreating the techniques he’s learnt that Richie hasn’t.They move systematically according to Eddie’s voice, and both of them areequally struggling with the amount of touch there’s involved. Eddie pushes itout of his mind, since he needs to set a plan for each grappling position andmanually move Richie’s limbs and body in the right places. Richie, however, isat his mercy. Never knowing where’s he’s going to be touched next, a millionspots catching fire from Eddie’s hands.

Each techniquestarts the same. Eddie will be the one in the advantaged side and manoeuvreRichie’s body until he’s got him into the submissive stance. Whether that’swith his arms pinned in unnatural angles, legs kicked out from under his body,or laying on the floor in various uncomfortable manners.

Eddie isn’tacting like a show-off, this time. He’s genuinely trying to be a good exampleand teacher so that Richie can gather up as much information as possible.

“Fuck.” Richiegroans after being thrown on the floor, yet another time. Eddie steps out fromabove him, leaving Richie laying there with his nose planted on the cushionedfloor and both arms falling heavily to his sides. “You keep kicking my buttover and over and I can’t even complain cause it’s hot.”

Eddie kicks hisside then, not too strongly. “Stop putting innuendos on everything.”

Richie turnshis head, so his cheek is planted on the floor instead, and he looks up atEddie. “But think about it! I could flirt my attacker into submission.”

Already fearingwhat’s about to come, Eddie runs a gloved hand under his nose. “I don’t thinkthat’s a thing.”

“That’sactually really clever, what the fuck.” Richie jumps on his feet and getscloser. Eddie gives a couple steps back. “Don’t run away from me.” He makesgrabby hands. “C’mon, attack me.” He talks happily.

Eddie lifts upone eyebrow, but he’s weak. He gets behind Richie and throws an arm over histhroat. Richie’s hands come up to grab at his forearm and he starts to do whatEddie showed him before, which was to bend down and try to swing Eddie’s bodyover his own, or at least twist his arm. But Eddie chickens out of it andcowardly kicks Richie’s legs from behind when he starts crouching, causingRichie to fall forward on his face and bring Eddie along with him. He ends upsliding over Richie’s back, slamming his own face onto the ground a secondlater.

Under him,Richie groans in pain and Eddie stumbles to crawl away from him. He gets to hisknees in front of Richie and watches him rubbing at his nose. “Why didn’t youlet go of my arm, you idiot?” Eddie snapped.

“Cause that’snot what you’re supposed to do when you’re being fucking attacked!” His voiceis nasally. “You didn’t mention the kick in the legs when you taught me,before.”

“Must have missedthat part.” He says nonchalantly. A pained grin appears on Richie’s face, Eddiefeels alarmed. “What?”

“Nothing.” Richieshrugs and gets up, holding a hand out for Eddie. Slightly suspicious, Eddie holdson to Richie’s wrist to get up as well, but Richie tugs him up to his feet and pullsuntil their chests are touching. He leans closer to Eddie’s ear.

“’Fraid you can’tbeat me if I start talking?” Eddie doesn’t try to move away, he’s in shock,pointedly ignoring meeting Richie’s eyes. Instead, he stares down at hisjawline. “I can think of a couple ways you can shut me up.”

Eddie thinksabout asking if any of those ways involves a good kick to the head, instead,his mouth hangs open like a fish and he can only feel grateful that Richie can’ttake a good look at his face in this position. Of course, Richie ruins thoseplans when he pulls back a little, just enough so that they can look at eachother. He is still grabbing Eddie’s wrist strongly, and there’s an unreadable expressionon his face.

“You’resupposed to attack me, remember?” He says under his breath. Neither of them seemsto care where they are.

With an embarrassedsnarl, Eddie snaps out of it. He throws the technique out of the way anddecides to kneel Richie in the balls. But Richie moves just as quickly as Eddie’sknee lifts up, his free hand coming between their bodies to grab under Eddie’s thighand snapping it over to the side, leaving Eddie with only one feet on the floor,and, sadly true, his legs forced open.

Eddie is fumingwith embarrassment, he sees red everywhere and if he doesn’t hit something inthe next seconds, he’s going to throw Richie out of the window instead. And totop it all, Richie starts cracking up right there, in front of him. Tiny,mocking chuckles unsuccessfully covered by his lips squeezed shut.

Eddie doesn’tthink, just lifts up his free arm and aims for Richie’s stupid mouth, but oncemore and to his great displeasure, Richie’s eyes grow big and he lets go of Eddie’sleg, hand coming up quickly and gripping Eddie’s other wrist back.

Finally withboth feet on the ground, Eddie steps back and fights against Richie’s hard gripon his wrists.

“Holy shit.”Richie says, slightly excited eyes looking into Eddie’s red, red face. “You’reso bothered by my touch, baby.” Richie doesn’t seem to know when to stop. Bythis point, Eddie is mumbling hateful insults under his breath, along with somepreoccupying threats aimed at Richie’s crotch’s well-being. “Or was it my words,sweetheart?” Richie grins, using all his strength to lead Eddie’s arms behindthe his back.

For a moment,Eddie tries to calm himself and stops squirming against Richie’s hold, lets himpull his arms behind his back until Richie is holding both his wrists with onlyone hand. The other hand comes up, traces a mismatched pattern over Eddie’scovered arm. They space between their bodies is closed again.

Taking a bigbreath and letting Richie believe he’s got him cornered, Eddie watches his dumb,victorious smile.

Don’t do it, Eddie. Be professional. He’s just a jerk,it’s not worth it.

He doesn’t evenknow what he’s restraining himself from doing. Either throwing Richie’s body onto the floor or kissing him. He decides which is it pretty quickly.

Richie’s handsare bigger, that’s why he wraps one around both of Eddie’s wrists so easily,although he’s not doing the best job at using strength. The other finishes itstrail and stops at the back of Eddies neck, just resting there.

Then, Richieopens his imbecile mouth. “I could punch you right now, you know, baby?”

If time was slower,Eddie would have taken a second to roll his eyes and tell him. Great, you’ve ruined it. Instead, all hedoes is to, quite strongly, tear his right wrist out of Richie’s hold andfinally doing what he was prevented from before. His fist collides with Richie’scheek.

Richie’s handscome up to his cheek immediately as he stumbles back a few steps. Eddie staresat him, hand throbbing slightly and feeling guilty almost instantly. The shockon Richie’s face is quite funny, but not at the moment.

“You punchedme.” Richie mumbles while is hands cover his red cheek.

Fuck.

Through quavering,quick breaths, Eddie says. “You were embarrassing me in front of everyone.”Richie just keeps gaping at him in shock. His gloved hands fall at his sides.Eddie flinches at the sight of his flush red skin. That’s going to bruisebadly. “Shit, I’m sorry. Are you okay?” He steps closer to Richie, but feels loston what to do, so he just stands there with the worry dripping from his voice.

“Holy shit.” Richie’s eyes him dreamily.Eddie’s face contorts into confusion. “You punched me…”

“Okay… did- didI damage your brain, somehow?”

“I don’t thinkI’ve ever felt this attracted to anyone before…” Richie smiles cheekily atEddie but hisses instantly when he feels it pulling on his bruising cheekbone. “Fuck,you didn’t spare me at all.” He passes his trembling gloved fingers over hisface.

Eddie gives alook around the rest of the class, no one is paying them much attention, noteven Mike. He turns back to Richie, not thinking too much before speaking. “If youpromise to cut it out with the crude flirting, I’ll go with you to grab someice on the infirmary section.”

Richie perks upat that. “Will you kiss it better?” Eddie groans and turns to walk away. “Okay,okay, I’m sorry.” He stumbles to keep up with Eddie.

“Wait for me inthe locker room.”

Richie eyes himsuspiciously. “You can’t make it easy for me to hit on you, Eds.”

Eddie stops walkingand looks embarrassed at him. “I’m just… going to give Mike an excuse… I’ll meetyou in a second, okay?”

Richie smilesagain despite the stinging in his cheek. He smiles a lot in general.

Eddie watcheshim striding towards the cart to put his gloves away, and then quickly leavingthe room.

When Eddie approachesMike he puts on a fake annoyed frown at the sight of his friend and trainersmirking at him knowingly.

“No, no problemat all. Off you go, Eddie.” He crosses his arms and laughs when Eddie flips himoff discreetly. He watches Eddie’s back as he stomps away. “I’ll make sure to mixbeginners and advanced more times!”

Eddie gives himthe bird over his head this time and heads off to the locker room, not giving adamn if he’s taking the gloves with him. Some things matter more, like an attractiveidiot in pain to which he has special treatment to give.

[leah-ocarina]

I see a lot of well-intending people saying aces are perfect angels according to society who never run into problems or get judged, because while we don’t get as much shit as some people, coming from the PoV of a panromantic and disabled woman who knows oppression when she sees it, let’s all just set aside the argument of whether or not Aces are LGBT, okay? Just put it out of your mind! This post is not about that, okay? I just want people to know a bit more about what it’s like, because I see them meaning absolutely no harm, but being a bit misinformed. I’ve taken points from another person who was calm and level headed (and can’t track down the post because I am inept at this website hnnnn), and thought I’d go through them.

Again, put the argument of ‘are aces LGBT’ out of your mind. This is about misinformation and not that— and this is definitely in NO WAY me saying asexuals have it worse or as even bad as/as other LGBT people, because we definitely do NOT. (That doesn’t mean we get nothing though!)

Okay. Now that that’s out of the way, the first few points will be from my personal experiences, and if it’s something I heard from someone else I have it clearly marked, and the numbered points are actual copy-pasted quotes from the person’s post:

1) An asexual person is not going to get dehumanized and beat up for not having sex

•Physical violence—Actually yes. We do get beaten up. We also are victims of corrective rape. •Dehumanizing—Dehumanizing is 90% of what people who know I’m asexual do. Things I have heard to me personally from multiple people (and from what I’ve seen, other aces hear the same things):           • Inhuman monsters.           •Nobody will EVER love you because of this. You’re unlovable in every                 way if you stay asexual (as though I can just change it 🙄)           •It doesn’t matter whether or not YOU want to have sex if your partner                 does. Suck it up           •You need to go to the doctor and get fixed           •You need to go to therapy and get fixed           •You’re broken and if you don’t go to the doctor, I don’t even know what to           do with you

         •If you say you’re a sex repulsed asexual/decide to never have sex (🙄) nobody will want             to date/be with you. You’ll be alone forever and you’ll deserve it.

      People verbally bullying us all the time with the intention of dehumanizing us       is literally the main problem I’ve experienced.  •A common one we get is that we’re really closeted gay people and we’re lying to ourselves that we have no sex drive (file under, large groups of people push that asexuality is a myth) •You’re confused and need to suck it up and have sex once so you’ll be cured (side note—also usually the rhetoric attackers use/directly say when corrective rape occurs) •You’re just a moron with a medical condition (I am disabled but none of it effects my sex drive) •If you don’t like sex you don’t even deserve to live because what else are you here for And again those bullet points are just what I’ve heard from multiple people of different backgrounds, and I’ve only identified as ace for two years

2) and if they do, it is less normalized than gay and lesbians getting beat.

•It’s almost like you don’t hear about it often because people tell us to shut up and stop being attention whores so we don’t talk about it as much, and when we do it doesn’t spread as far because less people with relevant blogs (exclusionists) reblog/share it 🤔🤔🤔 •Just because you haven’t heard about it often does not mean that it doesn’t happen often. This is not a popularity contest.

I know one may not think about what that quote actually means, but it invalidates violence/bullying against us NOT by saying it doesn’t happen, just that it’s less important than the other groups. I know you guys mean well, but you can’t really deny it 😕 If it counts for them and not for us that means when it happens to us it’s less important to you—if you disagree please do explain how saying it counts for one group and not the other does not make it less important! Seriously! I want to understand! I just can’t see how “it counts and is impactful to my opinion of them, but not for you” can be taken a different way.

^^^ Also to be clear I mean the exact way it has been phrased here and not the general rhetoric. The normal rhetoric is that it doesn’t happen as often (which it doesn’t) so it doesn’t count. (Debatable, but not what this post is for. Take that argument to the reblogs of another post or one of its own.) The rhetoric in this quote is that even if it happens (which also implies this person didn’t even check 😒) it’s less normalized (which I assume means they hadn’t heard about it) and since they didn’t personally see it that’s why it doesn’t count.

3) If you don't have sexual attraction, cool, but the differences still exists. There are cultures and religions who praise those who stay with abstinence.

•What they actually praise is waiting for marriage. I never experienced this because I don’t go to church regularly (they’re all hellfire and brimstone where I live so I don’t bother 😑), but since looking at asexual tags and such, I’ve seen a bunch of stories from different, otherwise unrelated people that if they tell their priest, etc. they’re ace, they get lectured about how no. They HAVE to have sex after they’re married because that’s the way God intended it to be. You’re required to, and not doing so goes against God. They genuinely throw fits about it and try to get you to change your mind. I was floored when I found out and even more floored when I saw how many people have experienced this (a few said they were saying they were ace in response for calls for abstinence and got an earful), but it seems like they want you to either never have sex because you devoted yourself to God (nun, etc.) or because you waited. After your married though, you’re expected to and judged for not having sex.

4) heterosexuals who call people faggots will call asexuals.. virgins.

•You must have a pretty tolerant group of people you interact with, because that is definitely not what we normally get called lmao. Normally we get called broken, freaks, mentally ill/crazy/someone who needs to take their pills (I’m serious), inhuman, monsters, unlovable, and honestly they just use asexual as the insult too. Like “You don’t know anything you asexual freak!” They’ll point, laugh, look around, tell their friends, then they join in and repeat. They also call us “losers who can’t get laid” [and are making an excuse]. I have never once been referred to as just a virgin in response to my asexuality, and I’ve never seen it anywhere online either. I’m tryna stay as neutral as possible, but this one is just straight up incorrect/really rare.

5) A bonus-- not something I heard from the same person, but still really important----Sexuality is about who you love, not how often you fuck.

This one I got from someone more hostile, and I’ll it admit I was a little baffled by this. This is not the case for all asexuals because it is a spectrum, but I personally am sex repulsed and could never be in a long term relationship with someone who is going to expect sex out of me. Asexuals like me (of which there are many) are extremely limited in who we can be in a relationship with because we need to find other asexuals (which btw causes a lot of mental distress because it makes us feel extremely broken and unlovable). This very clearly determines who we love and saying otherwise is...well if after you read this you still think that way it’s just willful ignorance if I’m honest. :\ Again this was not from someone level headed, but I thought I’d include it to explain it to other people who think the same thing! 

So thank you for coming to my Ted Talk lol. I’m not trying to fire up exclusionist battles or arguments about whether or not asexuals are LGBT, I’m just trying to clear up some of the most common myths about asexuality I see.

[pkmnomegaverse]

So, what cause to Chuck to have a affair with Jasmine ?(BTW i love your blog)

(Thank you!!! ( ˃̣̣̥ω˂̣̣̥ )  That really means a lot to hear! Also, sorry I info-dumped. Whenever someone asks something that even tangentially relates to the omegaverse headcanons I keep hidden, I tend to go…overboard).

Tbh, Chuck having an affair with Jasmine has less to do with there being canon evidence to support the idea and way more to do with me deciding I needed more diverse family situations. They were just the unfortunate pair I chose. That being said, there’s a specific headcanon I have about how cheating would be viewed in an ABO setting that I wanted to explore with this pair, which sort of relates to what causes Chuck to cheat on his wife with Jasmine.  

In this specific version of ABO, when someone goes into their heat or rut, it’s not quite to the point where they’re completely out of control (which is a thing in some interpretations of ABO).  While the urge to have sex is very strong and decision making is certainly impaired, the person is still conscious and can make choices.  It would be incorrect to say they have no free will, and you wouldn’t be able to use that as a defense for something you did during your heat/rut (well, you could try, but whether people would buy it is another story).  

However, because an alpha exposed to an omega in heat is affected to the point that, they too, have impaired decision making, people are more willing to overlook people cheating in this type of situation. Essentially, it’s a ‘less bad’ form of cheating.  Not everyone has this viewpoint, and it’s arguable how accurate it is, but it’s still something I think would come up in an ABO setting.

Related to this, Chuck’s wife is a beta, while Chuck is an alpha.  As such, they can’t form a mate bond, which, if they could, would actually work towards keeping Chuck from being as strongly affected by an omega in heat.  One of the (debatable) benefits of an alpha/omega couple forming a mate-bond is it causes each member to not to be as affected by other people during their heat/rut.  When they do go into their heat or rut, instead of a more generalized lust for anyone, it’s all focused on their mate.  It has the effect of making them more clear-heading around other people, but it’s also more stressful to be separated from their mate.

As such, there’s an additional underlying bias in society about pairs that don’t fall into the alpha/omega dynamic.  Other types of couples aren’t actively discriminated against, but they are viewed as being prone to being less stable.  To some, an alpha/beta or omega/beta pair is viewed as the alpha or omega settling, and at the most extreme, viewed as being doomed to fail and the alpha/omega just waiting to find a better partner.  I’ve always seen Johto as the region that would have more conservative values and beliefs, so the above biases would be more common in that region over the others.

To actually answer your question though, Chuck and Jasmine’s short lived affair results from Jasmine’s heat hitting at an unfortunate time and the two just going for it.  While the two don’t know each other very well during the events of HGSS, over the years of working together as fellow Gym Leaders, they slowly develop a friendly relationship. Past seeing each other at conferences the Gym Leaders have to attend yearly, they do talk and occasionally meet up (always in Olivine though, never Cianwood).  Usually it’s because Chuck needs to come to the mainland to get something (and of course he’s going to check on his fellow Gym Leader while in the area, maybe she’ll even be up for some battling if she’s not busy), but sometimes he’ll bring her things from Cianwood.  The next time Jasmine finds herself in need of medicine from Cianwood, it turns out it’s easier to call up the Gym Leader there instead of waiting for a kind, 11 year old passerby to help you out.  

In some ways, they do have a bit of an emotional affair going on before anything physical happens.  They both find themselves enjoying the others company more than they probably should.  While Jasmine clues in on their relationship being more than just friendly before Chuck does, she always tells herself nothing is going to happen because he’s married.  And even once Chuck acknowledges to himself that he’s attracted to Jasmine, he doesn’t plan to do anything, because he does love his wife (even if the two don’t spend that much time together, with him always being busy with the Gym or training).

So when Jasmine’s heat come early while Chuck is visiting her in Olivine, it’s actually Jasmine that suggests sleeping together.  Initially, once she realizes her heat is starting, she makes some hasty excuse and is ready to head home alone, but then stops herself.  Part of her is tired of being so shy and withdrawn all the time. She’s use to just going along with others and not pushing for what she wants. And really, she’s tired of being alone. So, not truly thinking Chuck will accept, she throws the invitation out there. Would you like to head over to my place with me?  And to her surprise, he accepts. They both know it’s a bad idea, but Jasmine’s heat makes for a good excuse to just give in.

They continue to see each other for a while after that, but once Jasmine realizes she’s pregnant (not from the first time they sleep together, it happens later), she calls the affair off.  She informs Chuck about her pregnancy and tells him to go back to his wife, she’ll be fine raising the kid on her own. But Chuck refuses to let her raise the kid by herself (plus, as unfortunate as the situation is, he’s not opposed to the idea of being a father. Once the dread of the situation lessens, he might maybe even be a bit excited).  Jasmine is very firm about them not being involved romantically anymore though, so the possibility of Chuck leaving his wife for Jasmine doesn’t come up.

Obviously, Chuck has to explain the situation to his wife, Tara. Unsurprisingly, she doesn’t take it very well. Really, the main reason she doesn’t leave him ties in with some of the headcanons I discussed above. From a certain viewpoint, some would say what Chuck did wasn’t all that surprising. And again, since Johto is the conservative regions (and Chuck’s wife seems like a traditional, conservative woman), she would be influenced more by these biases than other people might be.  Their marriage is extremely strained for some time after this, but the two do ultimately stay together, taking steps to try to repair their relationship. 

#I probably could have left out a lot of this but still #i wanted to bring up the above headcanon since Johto is the region I bring in the problematic elements of omegaverse more #although let's be real this is tame omegaverse! #Chuck #Jasmine #Tara #Omegaverse Explanations #Worldbuilding #Asks #Anon #Coastshipping

“How would the NDRV3 boys confess their love to s/o? I love everyone's works btw :>”

lol i wasnt even here when this request was made but i too love everyones work

Shuuichi Saihara

The poor boy had spent DAYS practicing the moment he confessed his love for you

He had written everything he wanted to say out on a piece of paper and read it at least twice every hour

He tried so desperately to memorize all of it

He wanted this to be special for you

He was extremely nervous when the day finally came to tell you

You had just been on a date at a fancy restaurant and were returning home

Once you set foot inside he began his speech

“S/o, from t-the moment I laid e-eyes on you, I knew you were… I knew we were… meant to be”

He had barely gotten through his first line and he was already sweating through his formal wear

He was so obviously flustered and was reduced to a blushing mess

He began to fidget with his tie, constantly repositioning it into incorrect places

In a panic, he grabbed a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to you

It was his speech which he had planned to present orally to you

But we all know how that went

You read through the whole thing

It covered your first encounter, all the highlights of your relationship so far, everything.

Once you finished and looked up to him, you saw he was teary-eyed

‘S/o… I *ahem* I love you’

He coughed and looked down, afraid of your response

When you hugged him and told him you loved him too, he let out an audible sigh

‘I’m sorry it didn’t go as planned, I hoped I wouldn’t have been this nervous’

He let out an awkward chuckle

Realizing how awkward that chuckle was, he looked down

You lifted his chin up and kissed him

The boy's eyes lit up

All of his preparation had paid off

 Rantarou Amami

Rantarou took a while to really come to the conclusion that he loved you

It had been a year and a half since the two of you first met

During that time he realized just how much you meant to him

So, on the day he confessed his love for you he wanted to help you remember that time

He compiled a scrapbook featuring all of your best moments

That time you petted an alligator, when you took a party bus to work etc

It detailed EVERYTHING

It seemed kinda odd that he had all of the photos and memories

But it was sentimental none the less

When he showed you-you were crying

It was so beautiful

He treasured all of these moments just as much as you did

You flipped through the pages, eager to see what was on the next one

As you neared the end you began to get a little sad

Each page was so amazing and filled you with so much joy that you never wanted it to end

Then you turned to the final page

And it said

‘I love you’

Amami said it at the exact same time as you read it

You looked up at him, eyes still teary, in shock

You honestly couldn’t tell if he was joking or not

In fact, you asked him if he was joking

That kinda hurt

Of course he wasn't joking! He genuinely loved you and he admitted it

He let out a small chuckle as he rubbed his hair nervously, awaiting your response

As he began to worry that you felt negatively towards it you hugged him

He was so relieved

All he wanted to do was make you feel special

‘I hope you liked that s/o, mind if we make a memory out of this to add?’

He took out his Polaroid and snapped a selfie of the two of you, your head against his chest

‘Perfect’ the boy said as he stuck the photo down onto the page which bore his confession

He ended it all by planting a kiss into your forehead

‘Again, I love you s/o’

 Kokichi Ouma

You always knew Ouma was a liar and a teaser

I mean, it’s kinda his thing

He always said things sarcastically, sometimes not making it obvious enough for you

But this time it was different

He had been spending hours desperately trying to find the courage to tell you how he really felt

He knew that he was in love with you

He felt it in the bottom of his heart

When you came home from work he was lying on the couch watching television

The moment he saw you he sprung up from the couch

You had had a long and tiring day at work so you honestly weren’t in the mood to put up with any of his shenanigans

He invited you to sit down with him

You begrudgingly accepted

You noticed he was acting differently

It was a little unsettling

It seemed almost as if he was planning something, maybe a huge prank

You were going through possibilities and explanations in your head when he blurted it out

‘S/o I love you’

Wait what

No, literally you hadn’t heard him

You were too busy thinking that you completely blanked out his voice

You asked him to repeat himself

The poor boy was completely red

He didn’t realize you genuinely hadn’t heard him

He thought you were shocked in a bad way after what he told you

‘Ouma, what did you say?’

‘Nishishi, it's nothing s/o, just another dumb joke!’

He walked away to the bedroom door with his back towards you

‘Get some rest s/o’

You had already begun to conk out

That whole moment had completely erased itself from your head

All you could think about was the beautiful hours of sleep you were about to get

Ouma looked back towards you, your eyes were closed

He wanted to wake you back up and re-tell you what he wanted to say

But

Did you really not hear him? Or were you just pretending to avoid what he said?

He kept walking, past the bedroom door and into the room

He sat on the bed and lay down as a single tear fell from his face

‘Maybe next time, someone will take me seriously’

 Kiibo

‘I love you s/o’

W-W-WHAT?

You were so confused

He had just blurted that out of nowhere

‘Kiibo, what did you say?’

You were questioning whether you heard the robot right or not

‘I said I love you! What’s the matter?’

The boy was also very confused at your shock

‘How can you just say that?’

Now he was very confused

‘Kiibo we have been together for a week? Do you really think you already love me?’

Now he was even MORE confused

Of course he loved you

I mean, he looked up the meaning of loving someone

It means to have strong feelings right?

Wait

He didn't read it wrong did he?

He quickly went through his history

No, he was definitely right

That is the definition of love and he knew he meant it

During this time of inner thought, Kiibo had just been staring blankly at you

You were thinking that maybe he had malfunctioned and just blurted it out

After a couple of seconds, the robot finally returned to his normal self after some thought

‘Yes s/o, I am sure that I am in love with you!’

‘Seriously, how can you say that? How do you know?’

‘I looked up love and it matches my thought of you’

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You explained to the boy that love isn’t a word you just throw around

It has so much more meaning than what you see on a Wikipedia page

You explained how you know you’re in love

How you get butterflies in your stomach, how you can't take your eyes off someone etc

Kiibo was very confused

‘Im s-sorry s/o! I should have known better!’

You never thought this would’ve been a problem

I mean you should have seen something like this coming with Kiibo being a robot and all

You began to walk towards the kitchen to grab something

‘B-But s/o!’

‘Yes Kiibo?’

‘I really do love you’

Now it was getting a bit frustrating

‘Kiibo, I told you, love is not a word you through around.’

Quickly he grabbed your hand and placed it against his chest

It was boiling hot

‘Kiibo?’

He was blushing now on every part of his body

‘I can feel the caterpillars in my stomach’

‘You mean the butterflies?’

‘Oh erm yeah!’

You chuckled, realizing what was happening, as you began to feel tears forming in your eyes

‘S/o, I may be a robot and I may not have understood what love really means before but now that you have explained it I know it is more real than ever! S/o, I think I love you’

The moment he finished his sentence you burst into tears

It was just so beautiful and natural

It was so touching

Until

‘AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH’

‘Kiibo! What’s wrong?’

‘S/O ARE YOU OKAY WHAT HAPPENED WHY ARE YOU CRYING DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG ARE YOU HURT DID I SAY SOMETHING PLEASE TELL ME WHY ARE YOU SAD?!?!!?!?!?’

you should’ve seen that one coming to be honest

 Gonta Gokuhara

You have always known that Gonta loved you

I mean, it was pretty obvious

But he never actually said the sacred three words out loud

He would constantly tell you about how much you mean to him, how you’re his best friend, how much he adores you as a person

But he never said ‘I love you’

This frustrated you a bit

He says all of these things and showers you in compliments but...are they real

You decided to confront him one day because you couldn’t get if off your mind

You were very straight-up and forward about it

‘Gonta, do you love me?’

Gonta was bewildered for a second

He didn’t respond for a while and just stared at you, eyes wide open

You began to feel tears building up as a result of the lack of response

‘Of course I love you s/o! I love you more than I’ve ever loved anything before! Why would you think I didn’t!’

‘You just… never said it before’

‘B-But I tell you every day how much I love you!’

He seemed very confused

He always compliments you and appreciates you!

So why did you think otherwise?

‘You never said specifically “i love you” before’

‘Is I love you not the same as saying ‘i adore you’ or ‘you mean so much to me’?’

So that’s why

The only reason he’s never said it before is because he didn’t realize those three words meant so much more than everything else he says

‘I’M S-SO SORRY S/O I SWEAR ILL SAY IT EVERYDAY FROM NOW ON LIKE A GENTLEMAN’

He wasn’t lying

From then on he surprises you at random times with the message

In the morning, in the shower, at work, at dinner, while you’re in the toilet

He will never go a day without saying ‘I love you’ to you

NEVER

 Korekiyo Shinguuji

The two of you had been seeing each other for quite a while now

He had developed an interest in you, that much was obvious

But you were never sure as to how far this interest went

He figured out one day when he saw you for the first time in a while that he loved you

He knew it straight away in that instant and didn’t question it whatsoever

But he didn't want to just straight up tell you about his feelings towards you

He was gonna make you wait

He wanted to see how you would react to his teasing, how far he could push you

He wanted to see you squirm

mmm kinky

He made subtle hints occasionally

He would talk to you in a serious tone and say he wanted to tell you something and say ‘I...I want pizza for dinner’

He made sure that it was obvious enough that you knew it was associated with his love for you but also not too obvious so you believed he wasn’t trying to rile you up

He studied the differences in your behavior during the period where he teased you and when he didn’t

When he was satisfied with the research and results he gathered, he decided to tell you

But instead of making it obvious like he did when he was teasing you, he decided to put next to no thought into it

He wanted it to be natural so your reaction would be even more priceless

The two of you were at home, drinking tea in the evening as was tradition in your relationship

He took a sip and places his saucer back onto the table

Without making eye contact with you, he said it

‘S/o I love you’

The eye contact probably would’ve been a good idea as he didn’t see that at that moment you had just taken a sip of your tea

In the shock of it all, you had spit out your tea all over the table and your partner

Luckily he had his mask on and his bandages so there was no burning skin at risk but it did get over his clothes

He simply smiled to himself, letting out a slight chuckle

‘Are you surprised s/o? I had hoped you’d have a more pleasant reaction.’

You immediately hugged the boy as tears came to your eyes

He hugged back, he thought this was mandatory considering the amount of torment he must have put you through during the teasing phase

 Ryouma Hoshi

Ryoma had never been a fan of making a big deal out of things

He loves spending time with you but would prefer if you too were to just stay home and watch a movie rather than go to a restaurant or the cinema

Which is why he was looking forward to your guys’ little at-home date tonight

The plan was to get delivery food and then watch a movie

Which is all he could ask for really

The night was going well

You two had eaten the food and were enjoying yourselves

Now for a movie!

Immediately he requested his favorite, which was a horror movie

However, you requested something completely different

The two of you went back and forth and back on forth on which one you should watch

Eventually, you came to the decision that you should just binge watch a show, which you did

It was such a lovely evening so far, yet it didn’t seem very special, to you at least

To him, this was all he could ask for

The two of you were snuggling together on the couch

You were nuzzling against his chest, both of you staring at the tv screen

He looked down towards you, you were staring happily towards the television

He smiled, and all of a sudden it hit him

He was in love with you

He knew it the moment it happened

He had never felt this way before, so he believed it even more

He didn’t think to hide it

‘I love you s/o’

You eyes went wide open

What just happened

You were in so much shock that you didn’t move an inch

Your brain was processing the whole thing

Did he really just say that? How did he say it so bluntly?

I mean it IS Ryoma so the bluntness can kinda be expected

He looked down at you again

You could feel his eyes on you

You looked up towards him, meeting each other's gaze

He smirked and looked back up while resting his head on yours

‘And don’t overthink it or anything s/o, it’s 100% true’

 Kaito Momota

He was pretty happy when he realized he loved you

He was glad to finally realize the level of love he had for you

Kaito being Kaito, he wanted to make a huge deal out of it

He spent weeks planning everything

He was going to have a huge surprise for you

Roses, chocolates, wine, everything!

Anything and everything you could ever want, he would get for you

He set everything up at home while you were out, probably at work

He invited a bunch of your friends over as well as a bunch of his

Everyone helped out to make this experience perfect for you

mostly because kaito was forcing them to but anyways

Balloons were put up, banners were hung, cakes were made, food was cooked, presents were bought,

Was this an engagement or a confession?

I don't think Kaito knew the difference

You weren’t due home until 5pm

But Kaito didn’t know that your boss was going to let you off early at 3:30pm

Since it was so early, Kaito forgot to leave someone watching the door

So in you went with your key

And you opened the door to…

Kaito…

Wearing a party hat?

Blowing up a balloon?

What’s going on here?

Kaito completely panicked

‘S/O WHAT ARE YOU DOING HOME SO EARLY??’

You were trying to figure out what was going on

Kaito pushed you out the door and was about to slam the door shut until you pulled him out with you

‘Kaito, what’s going on’

You could see the frustration in his face

‘I...I wanted it to be perfect’

‘What?’

‘S/o… I love you’

You were speechless

He went through this much effort to tell you this?

This must mean so much to him

You felt both happy and sad at the same time

You completely ruined his surprise

‘So? Helllooooo s/o you there?’

You didn’t say anything

You just hugged him

‘So, shall we get into the party?’

You were still confused as to why he put so much effort and preparation into a confession of love

But you weren't complaining about it

You spent the rest of the night having fun in your house with your now confessed lover

How I Recovered a Hacked Facebook Page

   You always hear about people's Facebook accounts getting hacked, and often see the consequences of it (constant event invites to random sales with dodgy links). However after working around social media for so long I always thought I'd seen it all, and wouldn't be fooled like so many others before me. So when I got hacked and had a Facebook page with 25k followers stolen from me, I was left feeling like a true sucker. But I got it back, and actually found a friend in a guy who had taken me to hell and back, from a country I'd never even heard of. It starts fairly typical of any hack story you'll find on Yahoo! Answers or on the Facebook community boards. I woke up very early on Wednesday morning to check my pride and joy, a Facebook page I'd organically grown to 25k followers in the space of 2 months. However, I was on alert as I discovered the following message in my inbox, posted by "Facebook Pages": "Dear Facebook user, After reviewing your page activity, it was determined that you were in violation of our Terms of Service. Your account might be permanently suspended. If you think this is a mistake, please verify your account on the link below. This would indicate that your Page does not have a violation on our Terms of Service. We will immediately review your account activity, and we will notify you again via email. Verify your account at the link below: =============================== **insert dodgy link here** =============================== Thanks for being part of Facebook Community. " I gave this a quick skim and believed it to be legit, partly because I was half asleep, and partly because I definitely had infringed copyright laws with a few of my posts. Looking back I should have noticed the grammatical errors or checked the profile that the message came from (which was a blatant fake) but nonetheless I clicked through to the link, which took me through to the page below. Facebook phishing Without thinking twice about it I entered my details, which directed me back to Facebook's help page. I then messaged the phony "Facebook Pages" profile from my page to tell them that it was done, and that I was waiting to be reviewed. Feeling like I'd sorted the issue, I left the page and got ready for work, promising to check out how the review had gone before I left for the day. After getting ready I went to log into my Facebook account but was having no luck. I tried my details again only to notice that it wasn't my password that was incorrect, but my email address. In fact, it was saying that my email address was not registered with any Facebook account. I was perplexed but tried again, this time logging in with the email Facebook provides on default ([email protected]). This got me in, and it was at this point that I knew there were some serious issues. Facebook had informed me that somebody in another region had tried to access my page. They'd done more than that.. this hacker had actually got complete access to my account, and proceeded to change the email address to a spammy looking Gmail account. Not only this, they'd posted porn images on a bunch of local pages from my account, sent several friend requests and, to my dismay, removed my admin status from my beloved Facebook page. I was freaking out majorly, and for a number of reasons. My page was a big deal, but the account was also linked to my credit card and PayPal accounts, not to mention the probability of getting temporarily banned for posting porn everywhere. I messaged the page a few times and got ignored, posted to the wall and got banned, and after not hearing from Facebook support I'd pretty much conceded defeat. However before I gave up I thought I'd talk in a language we all understand: Tom: I'll pay you for the page back. Just name your price and I'll pay it. Hacker: $1000 Success! No way was I prepared to pay that kind of money, but at least the hacker had recognised me. I just had to keep him talking, get him to understand what he'd put me through: Tom: Sure, just send me your PayPal details. USD yeah? Hacker: You can send me via westerunion or moneygram Just the fact that they said 'me' seemed to change the conversation. This wasn't a robot, there was real human being behind this, probably somebody who could be reasoned with. Tom: Would you consider being a nice guy and just giving it back? I worked very hard on the page Tom: You're from Europe yes? What good is this page to you? No response for 12 hours, it was time to bait him: Tom: Just send me your details and we'll make the arrangement. Money gram please Hacker: okey Hacker: i will send you details just in case Hacker: you are a nice guy too but man i need some monney even if you don`t send me 1000$..at least 300$ talk to you later Tom: Don't we all need money. I was going to sell this page soon anyways. Hacker: Can I trust you? Tom: Trust me in what way? Hacker: I actually post stuff on pages I get. But this seems that you really give much time on it. Hacker: When can you send me the money? Tom: I could do it immediately. But how can I ensure you'll give me ownership back? Hacker: You will have my word. First I make you editor. Add me and I'll make you editor right now. Next thing I see a friend request pop up from a name I won't mention, but could barely pronounce. The display picture was of a pretty girl looking away from the camera. Considering their last status update was back in 2012 I concluded this was fake. Hacker (now using fake profile): When should I post on your page? I will only post once a day Tom: What's your site? Let me have a look at your content Once he sent through his site I knew that I was dealing with a pro hacker, but an amateur online marketer. It was poorly designed, had spelling and grammatical errors everywhere, and the fact that the visitor counter he'd installed was still in double digits was proof that it wasn't doing too well. He gave me back editor controls of my Facebook page (I could post but not do much else), which was a start, but I continued to go in with a soft approach: Tom: Can you make a comedy post?(it's a comedy fan page) Then we post that one first, and slowly just post all kinds of stuff Hacker: I thought you had money:P. Lol. Tom: What do you mean? Here is more information in regards to hack online fb 100% gratis have a look at the website. Hacker: I mean, I don't really have the life you have. Tom: Where are you from? Hacker: Kosovo Tom: Ah Pardon my ignorance, but I'd never heard of Kosovo before. I've barely travelled outside of Australia, and have never been to Europe. I quickly read up on it on Wikipedia to discover Kosovo's brief history - it had only been a country as of 2008, when it had unilaterally declared independence from Serbia. According to Wikipedia Kosovo was known to be "Extremely vulnerable to organised crime and thus to money laundering", so everything was starting to make sense. Hacker: just send me 200$ i will give this page to you I sensed that there was somewhat of a power shift taking place. The site he showed me was struggling, which was why he had proceeded to hack other pages.. in a way to grab some quick traffic. Tom: Hey listen but, if you start posting on this page you'll currently get no interaction, nobody will click man the base is too small, you might get 10 clicks tops a post. Hacker: This isn't the first page I use for posting. I know what I'm doing on this Tom: Man I own my own content site, similar to yours. There's a reason I haven't posted yet.. the base is too small it'll just destroy the page. Hacker: oh Tom: If we grow this page we can make money. Off affiliate deals and off your website's AdSense Tom: I'll split it with you. Just let me continue to grow the page From this point on the subject matter of the conversation completely changed. He asked one more time for money, but it became more an opportunity for him to pick my brain, to learn more about growing a website. I showed him blogs of mine and gave him advice on what he can do for his page. In the space of about 10 minutes this clever, manipulative hacker became like a kindergartener on his first day of school, soaking into his brain everything I was throwing at him. Tom: Do you ever get content ideas from reddit? Hacker: Whats reddit Tom: Omg really? Man, this will help you more than any money I could give you. Hacker: I will not even think of removing you from your fan page or something Hacker: I just learnd something. And that's good. Hacker: Btw thanks for sharing We went on about content strategies, SEO, etc for a while, but I had a few more questions to ask him. This was so fascinating to me, I'd never been hacked, let alone got the chance to communicate with a hacker. Tom: How many pages have you hacked? Hacker: Hundreds man. Tom: What's the largest Hacker: 600k Hacker: But don't say hacked lol sounds stupid Tom: What's your actual name? Hacker: Elvir Elvir was opening up, and he proceeded to tell me more about himself. He's a 22 year old economics student, trying to make money of websites in his spare time. He still had a.blogspot domain which he wanted to change but he couldn't afford a domain, and he wasn't getting enough traffic to generate AdSense revenue. We continued talking for the next 2 days sporadically. He'd ask me various questions around online marketing, while I was trying to get to know more about him. At this point I thought it was time to see if I'd completely reimbursed him. Tom: hey can you make me admin? i need to add my account so i can post vid again. Hacker: I make you admin now. (and he did) Hacker: But I really need that help from you Once I got admin status back I quickly deleted him off the page, changed all my login details and made a new account to manage the page (just in case he could get back in). Despite this however we still talk a few times a week, usually when he wants advice on how to write a headline, or how he should fix his page design. I actually even sent him over some money for a domain on a $15 prepaid credit card, which he was thrilled about. I know that most situations don't end as positively as this - it sounds like nearly everybody who has their Facebook page hacked virtually loses it for good, and Facebook doesn't try to help out in the slightest. But it made me learn that there's still a human element, a vulnerability if you will, in everyone. What started out as one of my scariest online experiences actually turned into something of fascination, and my experiences with Elvir in Kosovo sure went a way into affirming that's there a little bit of good (and evil) in all of us.

u know what’s like..... extremely stressful?? telling ur professors and classmates about ur pronouns dfgkjhdfg i go by he/him at school because it’s like easier to explain to people than they/them and people are less likely to materialize to tell me that he/him is grammatically incorrect.... but like every time i do it i feel like im being some sort of burden on everyone!!! like i feel like they are like “whats ur point why are u telling me this” and like fkgjkfhdghjfdg idk the proper way to tell my professors because like i’ve just been going up to them after class and being like “hey i use he/him pronouns btw” but like should i have emailed them first??? like with the name thing its easier because i just tell them i go by spencer when we do attendance.... but like jkgjfghjfh i feel like i should have emailed them or something but to be fair idk their emails until like the first class.... fhfdshfsd i just wish i passed better and had my name legally changed to spencer so that i wouldn’t have to like tell people..... also like telling other students? even more stressful than telling the teachers.... like idk if anyone is like a transphobe or a “DID U JUST ASSUME MY GENDER LOLOL TRIGGERED!!!” kind of person and like luckily with the art students everyone is super chill/when i tell them they are like “lol i figured” or they hear my friends referring to me a certain way so they find out that way.... but like with the english class there’s a lot more.... how do u say this.... people who are less likely to go on tumblr.... than in my art classes.... and so it’s super stressful and i get scared to correct people??? like gjfghjhfg do i just not tell people??? do i buy a giant button that says “MY PRONOUNS ARE HE/HIM OR THEY/THEM” and wear it all the time??? god this is so stressful why cant i just be cis???

Masqurain Uses waves to complete his technique

1:37 Well May will win the contest you two will battle for the 4th time!

1:42 Fancy words will only give May more determination to win… Drew knows this.

1:57 Okay so we have Mr.Perfect, Mr.Know-it-all, and Mr.Rose. Wonderful.

I REMEMBER THIS THEME SONG! I REMEMBER EARLY 2016! MUST SING! gha

3:08 Ash saying the titles sometimes makes me laugh. “MAY WE HARLEY DREW’D YA!” Imagine him saying that. ya.

3:11 Narrator, she is working hard at her skill because Drew convinced her too in his own way.  ADVANCED SHIPPERS HE WAS NOT BEING MEAN AND THAT IS WHY SHE IS TRYING, SHE IS TRYING BECUASE DREW TOLD HER TO AND MADE HER WANT TO IN HIS OWN WAY.

3:23 Masquain flap your wings not your legs

3:26 Flirting!

3:35 Drew is teaching May some tactics :3

Also, May has really improved! Character development and attack skills, and based off these episodes it was mainly because of Drew!

3:51 … that was not somersault. Translations…

3:57 MAGICARP. this is just the best team rocket entrance. Ever. Just imagine a big magicarp jumped into the beach and said “MAGICARP" I laughed at this the first time I saw it~

4:19 Welp, it was a good run pikachu. Goodbye :)

4:21 NO NOT BEAUTIFLY AND MASQUAIN!!! ANYTHING BUT THEM!

4:42 silly max! You pressed the hypo turbo engine switch! You should’ve known :P

4:56 they are now standing next to each other even though last time they were almost across the room, they walked next to each other and called their pokemon at the same time. This is what writers do when they foreshadow.

5:00 I dunno :Looks up I am going to on google: I am going to die. Jessie you are going to die!

5:15 and then you hear wabbafet

Hi team Rocket!

5:25 Imma look that on google… You are at my house.

5:29 No you are in my house

5:35 Thank you Wabaf- I mean James

5:40 but James was trying to cheer you up by being Wabbafet :P

5:49 Thank you Wabaf- I mean Meowth

5:54 Don’t worry, they’re having fun Max.

6:08 People might say that Drew is being mean here and that Drew doesn’t like May but this has a second meaning and May didn’t get it (just like how she never noticed him flirting)

6:19 :Screenshots:

I cursed myself with faceswap

6:25 So ye ol’ pirate likes eh story o’ contest shipp'n?

6:30 :Looks up mirage: mi·rage m?'räZH/ noun noun: mirage; plural noun: mirages

  an optical illusion caused by atmospheric conditions, especially the appearance of a sheet of water in a desert or on a hot road caused by the refraction of light from the sky by heated air.

okay I get it now! The wynuat!!!

6:42 Leechy berry?

6:50 Teaching May about Leechy berries in his own way.

6:58 I find it amazing that May says she knows everything about them, proceeds to pronounce it wrong, and then Drew point that out. I didn’t expect him to.

7:03 :Takes screenshot

7:05 great! I BET THAT IT IS WYNUAT

7:19 ShuuHaru

I told you I love this episode AND WE AREN’T EVEN HALFWAY DONE MWA HA HA AH AHA HA

7:36 Swellow did you find contestshipping

7:43 Don’t worry Max!

7:52 wynuat? Also while listening to this I heard Max say "Ya! They might’ve decided to-” finish this sentence please :3

8:21 Mudkip: points with fin

8:23 “You don’t get out much do you…”  "Well you just don’t know how to have fun!“ -Contestshipping

8:33 you know what I want this man to be a chaperone at a school field trip.

8:48 in the time you were gone, James, Jessie and Meowth turned into wabaffets! :D

9:00 WYNUAT WYNUAT REGRET IT? WHY SHOULD I REGRET IT?

9:03 No james. did you hear it say Wabafett? No. It said wynuat.

9:08 at least Meowth knows!

9:12 let me tell ya’ lads ye ol’ story of how I got ‘ere

9:58 People say Drew never gets exited.

10:08 DON’T DIE GUYS YOU ARE MY LIFE

10:20 HOLDING HANDS OMG LIFE SAVER SHIPPING BULBAPEDIA!!!

One scene includes a closeup of May and Drew holding hands while falling down a cliff and into a river.

… I’m disappointed in you Bulbapedia

10:27 YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!

10:34 NOT THE WATERFALL FROM ALL OF THE MOVIES!!!

10:45 NOT DREW!!! (MAY GOT DREW SHE WANTS TO HELP HIM D:)

10:49 Bulbapedia: Then May sees that Drew has been knocked out from the impact of the waterfall, she becomes extremely concerned and tries to keep Drew’s head above the water while telling him not to worry because she’s got him.

You missed something, when somebody passes out they stop holding their own weight, meaning that Drew is actually way heavier than if he were conscious, let’s see an average 10-year-old boy weighs about 90 pounds… May is carrying an almost 100 pound weight, above water, while also trying to keep herself over water

THE THINGS ADRENALIN CAN DO MAN.

10:58 WYNUAT!!! HELP!!!

11:03 the mirage island.

11:15 SAVE THE CHILDREN

11:24 Hopefully safe with the wynuat!

11:34 AHOY MATES I 'AVE FOUN’ 'UR FRIEN’!

11:46 You did as much as you could…

11:54: "Drew… are you okay? Say something please!” May said in a destressed tone of voice

12:02 omg I ship it so much Bulbapedia? how about you?

After being pulled out of the river by the Wynaut, May is seen begging a still unconscious Drew to say something. When he finally wakes up, she is visibly relieved.

12:06 No May… you don’t have to be so modest. If it weren’t for you he would be dead. he would have drowned.

May is too modest.

12:10 Well the wynuat… OMG I WANT ONE NOW! I WANT TO TRAVEL WITH ALL OF THEM! THE WYNUAT REPRESENT CONTESTSHIPPERS!

12:22 Wynuat is a light pokemon, so is there body an illusion? I saw somewhere a theory that their tails are the pokemon and their blue body is a shield… so the blue part is an illusion?

“They travel in herds and at night sleep together in groups”

all of the contestshippers are wynuats. We stick together.

12:30 Drew is happy :D

12:33 omg the wynuat are so nice!!! “Are these for us?” “Wynuat!” Omgggg I love them so much

12:39 I love Drew in this pic I dunno why

14:04 You studied their shoes max?

14:08 actually Drew was unconscious so he didn’t walk, and the wynuats were in the trees and picked up May and Drew. You are wrong guys.

14:16 WYNUAT HAVING A JUNE 10TH PARTY???

14:23 wynuat join us?

14:30 Let’s join the contestshipping celebration!

14:39 wynuat join us too Drew X3

14:47 Bulbapedia? Do you wanna say something?

During the Wynauts’ “party” shortly after, Drew is seen watching May intently.

Watching her intently ya say? He must be happy that she is having fun :D (btw he likes her)

14:53 After a long journey… we have finally found the thing we have been looking for: food. it has been many mins we have walked around this forest, searching and searching while following our mentorour, Wabaffet, but finally…

nvm I’ll stop.

14:58 James is great, so is jessie. Now have sour tastes :3

15:29 Drew is still watching her have fun :3

15:33 wtf is that! D:

15:46 Dew: Oh no! The person who I helped grow as a trainer and saved my life is about to be taken away D:

17:57 Rip a rope with peatals. Sure I’ll try that.

17:59 LOOK AT ALL OF US WYNUAT

18:07 and then I remembered Advencedshipping and started to cry becuase even though this is the best contestsipping episode people are going to advanced ship becuase of this scene.

and then they beat team rocket :skips to after that:

19:52 Enjoy the rest of the contestshipping in this episode!

19:54 So Rodrick is actually older Pual. Cool.

20:23 And Drew got May to make pokeblock, in his own way :3

The end (that took me 4 hours to make wtf)

[tinyhatonapumpkin]

Hey, I saw your post about how non autistic people aren't accommodating to autistic people and was wondering if you had any recommendations of how to be more accommodating? I'm not NT but I don't have autism and I'm not sure what kinds of things would be helpful when interacting with someone with autism.

(Sorry if this is a really late response my internet has been abysmal for the past..... WHILE)

-Make sure that you don’t assume meaning from our actions. That’s one of our biggest frustrations. Allistic people often read into our actions, words, body language, etc. and then make incorrect assumptions. Remember, we’re not allistic, our brains work different, we think different, so the reason WE do something may be very different from the reason an allistic person does something.

- By extension: say what you mean and mean what you say. There are so many times that people get mad at me, say I’m being a little shit or purposefully obtuse, etc. just because... I didn’t get what they were insinuating. Or I didn’t read between the lines, or whatever. Hell it’s gotten to the point that I often over read into what allistics say, because goddamn. You people can’t just be direct. So in an attempt to accommodate, I end up accidentally reading into things that aren’t meant to be read into, or over reading into things, or even just getting the wrong meaning because I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. Just... talk to us. Don’t hint. Especially don’t get annoyed if we don’t catch what you’re saying.

- Kinda on the same vein, but: If an autistic person doesn’t understand something, even if you think it obvious, don’t ridicule them for it, just explain it. Things that come naturally to you don’t come naturally to us. Our mental skills are elsewhere. Also it’s usually social stuff or figures of speech we don ’t understand, and i mean... that stuff is bullshit anyway. (This isn’t just social and communication btw, this could even be just how to do a task.)

-Speaking of which: don’t force autistic people to conform to your social standards. Don’t force us to make eye contact. Don’t tell us not to stim. Don’t get mad at us for repeating something or scripting.

-If we communicate in a nonverbal way, don’t tell us to “use [our] words!” (ex: pointing and gesturing to something we want passed to us at the table, a hand on your shoulder when we’re trying to get past you, etc.) Because even if we may not be nonverbal at the time, we might be overwhelmed, and so talking uses a lot of energy. Or we just might be very distracted and plain forget to speak. Getting angry at us will only stress us out more, which will only exacerbate the problem.

-Speaking of nonverbal: if someone needs to communicate using an alternative communication method, like writing, typing, AAC, etc. GIVE THEM TIME TO WRITE THEIR RESPONSE. I can’t tell you how many people will just get annoyed and move on, stop talking to me, try (and fail) to guess what I’m trying to say, etc. It’s more frustrating than the inability to use my mouth to talk in the first place. This can also go for people who stutter and/or stammer. Which often happens to autistics too. Just give us time to communicate however we can.

-Don’t spring things on autistics. Plan things in advance, and if they are asking for lots of info about what you’re going to be doing, don’t get annoyed. Shit is stressful for us, so knowing a lot about it can help ease the anxiety and stress. The more we know the better we can prepare. Because the world isn’t made for us, so we have to do a lot to fit into it. But if we know nothing about the situation, we can’t know what we need to do for it. Not to mention we often need accessibility items, so it’s important to know what’s going on so we know what to bring.

-If the autistic person needs things done a certain way, let them have it done that way. It is extremely stressful if one of our constants in our lives is disrupted. Also we have things done in the way we do them for a reason. Whether it be to fight decision fatigue by having routines and sameness, or just doing things a certain way because it makes our homes, clothes, LIFE more sensory friendly, just... let us have our things be the way we need them. Hell even shit like sitting in the same seat every meeting let’s say: it’s easier to focus on the meeting when your SPD isn’t having to process all sorts of new information because you’re seeing the room from a different perspective.

-Don’t judge us in any way for our “weird” behaviours. So this includes “weird” expressions, body language, habits (chewing, sucking, stimming, etc.), body movements, speech, etc. And by judge I mean commenting, funny looks, reactions, etc. Just act like it’s totally normal, because to us? It kinda is.

-Small talk.... just... ugh. So something that happens a lot that I HATE is that allistic people will disrupt my work to just... chat. About fucking nothing. I’ll be doing something and then they’ll just come up to me and be all like “Whatcha doing?” “...working.” “Whatcha working on?” “I’m typing up the minutes.” “...” “...” “So how was your weekend?” etc. Drives me up the wall. You could clearly see I was in the middle of something. If you don’t have anything you actually need from me? Leave me be. I’ll chat later when I’m not busy!! (If you’re not sure, just ask if the person is busy/up for chatting.)

-Don’t be overly condemning/abrasive when informing us that something we’re doing/said/etc. is inappropriate, offensive, rude, etc. Now this part may seem like I’m contradicting the whole “don’t hold us up to your social standards” thing, but being autistic isn’t a get out of jail free card. If we are doing or saying something shitty, it still needs to be addressed. However we may not realize the impact of it. This could be because it’s not a big deal to us and we don’t realize that it is for others, or just because in an attempt to fit in, we mimicked those around us... and those around us weren’t the best people.

For example: I have dermotilliomania. So I can’t stand it whenever there’s a zit on my face, ESPECIALLY a white head. I’d pop that sucker as soon as I saw it. But I didn’t realize that this was more of my own experience, so in my teens, whenever I’d notice one on my sister’s face, I’d point it out. I wasn’t trying to go all “haha you have acne” I was more going “Oh no you have a Bad Thing on your face, you probably want to get rid of it!!” Kinda like when you tell someone that they have something in their teeth or a bit of sauce on their chin. Unfortunately though, she was allistic and did not have dermotiliomania, so to her I was just constantly pointing out something that she was insecure about. So it actually caused a lot of self image problems for her. I didn’t learn the full impact of it until years later.

So in that example, a good thing to do would be to explain: “I really don’t like it when you point out my acne, because you pointing it out all the time makes me really insecure.”

Using myself for an example again: I was raised in a white Conservative Catholic family. So I didn’t understand the allistic world, and the only people I had to base my understanding OF that world were..... well not great. So I had to spend a lot of time unlearning stuff. I’m not trying to excuse anything I did or said that was offensive, but I just feel like pointing out something.

Here’s how intense it can be: my family LOVED making “r*tard jokes”, which were actually autism jokes looking back. I made them along with them, even though I did all the behaviours they were mocking (but in secret). Hell I even threw around the r word in casual conversation, because that’s what I was used to hearing, and what I thought was normal.  I had a good friend begin my education about that stuff, so by the time I found out that I’m autistic, I had already dropped all the jokes and language... and started realizing how terrible they were because they were making fun of me in a way. (I even remember hearing things like “why are you acting like such a r*tard?” and then trying to hide it by acting like I was just doing more of the mocking.)

Now the latter half of this section (or even this section in general) may just seem like good advice in general. But it’s particularly relevant for autistic people, because we often end up with more rude behaviours, and more easily adopt offensive crap... and find it harder to lose because scripts and echolalia and whatnot. So if they continue after you address them, just point it out each time they do it, but in a gentle reminding way, because they probably just are falling back on old scripts, forgot themselves for a moment because of everything else going on, etc. It’ll take some time, but it’ll happen. 

Ok so idk if I went overboard or not, but.... here are some things anyway!! 

(And hell this might just be a good list, so feel free to reblog it anyone reading if you’re just stumbling upon it or whatever.)
