Hi I doubt it is safe for me to come back yet based on the shit I've been getting in youtube suggestions (dear youtube I don't care what shitty people had to say about other shitty people) but I wanted to post and say that I am. Very tempted to make a JJBA sideblog. Bc that has been my coping fandom while I wait shit out. And I miss internet socializing HORRIBLY but I just know scrolling too far back on my main dash rn is gonna shoot my anxiety through the roof.
Is that how a sideblog even works. I haven't made one in so long. And would any of yall follow it if I did that? I have a few ideas for screennames but yknow.

And that’s where I was told to split the episode.
HOW DID I COMPLETELY MISS THAT THIS SHOW WAS A METAPHOR FOR PUBERTY UNTIL ALMOST THE END OF THE SERIES
COME ON, LORE
That’s kind of embarrassing, honestly.  At least I figured it out eventually.
So, looking back--the robots coming out of Naota’s head, are these unwanted sexual feelings he’s having a hard time with?  And Haruko...it’s hard to tell what Haruko is supposed to be.  Is she just straightforwardly an Experienced Older Woman taking advantage of him?  Is she a metaphor for something more indirect?  I’m going to have to think on that for a while.
That’s it for today--I’m going to try to do more liveblogs between now and the end of the month, but I can’t promise anything.  I have some new meds at the pharmacy waiting for me that may severely cut down my anxiety, but I don’t know if I’ll get the chance to test them before the end of the month; I don’t want to go into the final day’s crunch with an untested medication that may make me loopy or sleepy, my usual ride can’t take me to the pharmacy (which is in the next town over) until Friday, and I have patron streams to do on the 29th and 30th.
We’ll see what happens.
In the meantime, thank you all for tuning in, and thank you to my 48 patrons, who help me survive month to month!  I’ll see you all again soon!
IN OTHER NEWS:
I have an ongoing first playthrough of Final Fantasy XIV that I’ve been streaming on Twitch! If you’d like to tune in when I’m live, I stream it every Saturday at 1 PM EST, and I upload my stream VODs to my Youtube channel!  If you’d like to see that playlist, click here!

You should also go pledge to Gio’s Patreon, or his Sponsus–our Discord server maintenance tech and creator of Rubybot deserves far more than I can afford to pledge to him by myself.

OTHER PEOPLE YOU MAY ENJOY:
I may have been one of the earlier Steven Universe liveblogs, but a whole community of livebloggers has sprung up over the last six years!   I linked to a bunch individually for a few wrap-ups, but honestly, this end-slate is already eight billion miles long, so I’m just gonna link to my links page.  Click here if you want recommendations of other livebloggers, or other neat people, or webcomics and podcasts that I recommend.

a blog of an unfortunately frustrating night…
for your sanity just scroll past, also tldr.
After the Unrailed gang unveiled their official name of Unplan from a karaoke collab on Rikka's channel, I got up to get ready for bed but as always I did check twitter for a bit before bathing. The first I read is the graduation notice of Vesper and Magni. I was hoping all this time that it's just an extended suspension. When Vesper was first suspended he didn't come back right away so I was just waiting.
I was fucking annoyed cause I’m still elated from Unplan's new original song. Sure they waited for the collab to be over but their song is going to be released an hour after the collab! I can't imagine what Unplan is feeling at the moment, their hard work that they have planned for months only to be overshadowed by this devastating news. Seriously, holostars management/hololive pr team, impeccable timing as always. I still haven't forgotten what the management/pr team did during Uyu's 3D stream.
please stream, comment and support their song
Tumblr media
【MV】superior stars / unplan 【アルランディス×影山シエン×律可×花咲みやび】
I couldn't help but be mad. I was thinking when they come back I won’t be that person that would demand why they were suspended, I would just welcome them back! But as soon as i saw the announcement, I can’t help but want to know what the f*** happened!!
Tumblr media
Then I suddenly remembered the cover, the 21 Stars song cover. And as soon as I posted that, another announcement that they'll delay the release.
I know they'll remove them from the song. I get it, legal rights stuff. but it doesn't hurt to ask.
I was just annoyed at this point because I know regardless of what I say or post on the internet, I can't do anything!! I actually wrote a letter that I was gonna turn into art and post tomorrow but I guess I'll just show the draft here…
Tumblr media
I was sitting in two waiting rooms last night, Axel's announcement video and Unplan's song release.
I was calming myself before I said anything stupid. I just started to scroll and scroll on twitter. Somehow knowing that there are others like me, who are frustrated about this situation, calms me. I wasn't crying. I think the reason i wasnt is because I know where to follow them. Yes, I’m talking about the past life of Vesper and active account of Magni. Honestly, I’m kinda following prof’s account and saw a post that he won’t be streaming and has some things to finish. I already felt bad about it but I was just hoping for the best.
What made me sad were three posts. Posts from their senpai; Astel, Rio and Oga. Sure Astel and Rio managed to collab with Vesper and Magni but Oga didn't have his chance. I know Oga and Vesper collaborated during Aruran's telephone game but that is Aruran’s stream. The difference is that Rio and Magni, Vesper and Astel with Altare, were able to bond somehow through a game for an hour. I can imagine a drawing collab with Oga, Gamma, Iofi and Magni, with Iofi as a translator.
Astel said he wasn't feeling well but still he sang for Vesper and Magni to thank them for being part of Holostars. And as always stated his desire for Kira to come back, I want Kira back too.
Tumblr media
【Sing】TY / アステル
I just want to express more of my frustrations over this timing.
I kinda can already tell something was wrong when Holostars Rust season 2 was suddenly announced last week. Temma was very vague about it when he was planning season 2, so I was quite surprised about last week's announcement. Sure, management paid for season 2's trophy and got us hyped by releasing a highlight video, but all this feels like bribery, even a distraction from what is about to happen.
Tempus announced that they won’t be streaming which is understandable. I wouldn’t want them to be on stream with emotional Vesties, Magmites, Tempuras and Starlights. But I also don’t like this start for Holostars Rust season 2. But the JP boys are still going to stream so I hope you can support them. Let's help them make this event another success!
At this point, I’m just annoyed. I wanted to know what happened and if there was anything that I could have done to prevent this graduation. I know most Vesties and Magmites feel that they weren’t able to show enough love and support to have them stay. But honestly, regardless of how vague that announcement is, I can’t blame anyone for thinking that something happened behind the scenes. Vesper and Magni are excited to be part of Holostars. Vesper even went off script during his debut to say how happy he is to be part of Holostars.
My wish is that Vesper and Magni’s archive will stay intact. Regardless though, I will make time to save Vesper’s cover of Shinigami and Magni’s original song Copium. As much as I want to save Magni and Rio’s Human Fall Flat stream and Vesper’s Project Zomboid streams, I don’t have a lot of time and memory space. I also wish that they keep their Minecraft builds, unlike what they did to Kaoru’s build which they removed from the JP server. I can just hope at this point.
I can’t stress this enough, support your oshi as best you can. You don’t really need to spend money simply sharing their streams and posts, making drawings and memes, commenting on their videos and interacting on chat helps. The algorithm is a crazy thing, your interactions leave impressions on their posts that actually help boost them up.
For those who are in the Holostars community because of Vesper and Magni, we won’t hold it against you if you decide to leave. It’s your time to spend and not ours to control but you are welcome to stay and you are always welcome to come back.
I wish nothing but success for Vesper and Magni. I’ll miss them for sure.

Hi! I just wanna say that you writing is just *chef's kiss* and lately you spoil us, the Ethan girlies (even tho those are comission). And i just wanna thank you for your hard work and imaginative writing . I have been a follower of yours since the 'Gay enough' era. And you opened my eyes to new possibilities and how relationship can be and also how kinks can be part of a healthy relationships (i think we all read at least one ff on tumblr that has some dubious smut scenes and toxic relationships) . Furthermore i and surely others are grateful for your blog and works since you are one of the few Måneskin fan blogs that kept writting and is still active consistently. I sincerely can say that i can't wait for the publication of the so called 'Over me' choose your own path story ( after reading the first part you are already giving us a hard time choosing bestie) and that Ethan centered imagine you announced to publish. So excited to see a softer kind of imagines comming for you. Not to say there is anything wrong with your smut writing , on the contrary, us reader can't thank you enough for it 😏 . But it is interesting to see that kind of 'get to know' the romantic interest and picturing them in a more normal settings (bookstores, cafes, quiet dinners, movie nights, doing chores) instead of the usual sexy rockstars that are seen as sex symbols. Sometimes ppl forget that Måneskin beneath the gorgeous exterior and incredible talent are just like us , people (with needs, hobbies,that have slow days in order to recharge, going out with just their friends group, etc.)
Can't wait to read your next work. Hopefully soon. Keep up the good work up queen 👑
holy fuck this is so sweet! i am so grateful that i got to wake up to this!
stream of consciousness response from me? okcurrrr
wow! thank you for saying all of this, for taking the time to send this through. it really means a lot!
*chefs kiss you on the nose* (with consent, ofcourse)
gay enough started soooooo long ago! that was literally my second request back in august of last year, so you’ve been here for ages& thank you for that. thank you for continuing to choose to spend your time here
kinking in a healthy& fun way is importnt to me for sure*99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 (wow bebe decided to stand on the keyboard instead of eating her damn breakfast, thanks dummy kitten!) anyways, as fun as it is to be flippant& etc- i do want to normalise certain things cos i know how culture can lead to behaviour. its like how lana del rey no longer performs the song ultraviolence(or said she was gonna stop, idk, i dont keep up todate with her somuch anymore, i dont know who norman rockwell is). things we excuse in the media we consume can become things we excuse in real life. so i always try my hardest to put consent, clear kink rules& safety in my shit cos this is what i have to say at the end of the day, its a reflection of me, every word& i want to believe what i say/be able to stand behind it
so keen to hear how everyone is feeling about th eupcoming decision for the conclusion of over me! somuch fun stuff coming for part two
lets get real here-- i did consider leaving. cos things have changed& i hate change, it makes me feel very unsafe. when i was getting that aggressive troll, i was wondering if there was a point to stay& keep going cos my instant reaction was to feel so isolated. that was a really emotionally defeating instance. i was planning how i would leave for real, i was planing how i could fasttrack the end of stained sheets& gay enough& thinking how to checkout cos i was questioning how worth it this all was. but at the end of the day-- the idea of leaving was even more terrifying than how awful i felt in that moment. cos i need this, quite literally. if i left, idk what i would do with myself, other than slip further into depression.at the end of the day- i do this for myself cos every word written is a moment where im not selfdestructing& mentally ripping myself to shreds. every word written is escapism for me. every word written is defiance. every word written is creativity chosen over selfdestruction& spiraling. every word written is so very significant to me cos before this i was really messed up& i wasnt writing consistently. so imma stick around& keep doing this for as long as it makes sense for me, cos i need to write, its all i really know, for more than half of my life& its ridiculously validating to have people give any kind of a crap about it
so im sticking around. i mean, i need something to keep me occupied while i wait for maneskin to get their asses to australia(have they even heard of my country?! not sure at this point)

I think it is time to say Goodbye.
Hello! Mod here, Tataia. I’ve come to make an announcement about the-space-lady and edgy-frenchman.
From this day on, I will not be updating these blogs anymore. I will be closing the inbox and delete all unanswered asks.
Don’t worry! They will still be up, you can come back to look through everything as many times as you’d like, but don’t expect any new posts in either blogs.
Now, we all know already that these blogs have been on an never ending hiatus, and it showed no signs of updating regularly like back in the day. So, let’s have a little (okay, kind of long) chat, about how this blog came to life, and how I am happy and thankful with everything that came from it.
Feel free to not read this at all, because it is kind of a long read.
If you have any questions, please send an ask to my main blog, @tataiafurquim​, and follow my twitter where I’m the most active, also going by the same username.
Three years ago, 2017, for the first time in the Brawlhalla history, there was a new legend leak! It was a picture taken with a phone of a monitor screen which showed the character selection screen in Brawlhalla, of the next legend in the default pose (the one that every legend has before getting their signature poses once they’re released); that was the first time everyone saw Artemis. BMG didn’t even announce her on dev streams by that point. The picture was shared in the r/Brawlhalla discord server, and, Calamari-Pop herself had tagged me to see it in one of the text channels, saying, ‘look! female Orion!’. Since I started playing the game, I’ve always been an Orion main, and once I saw Artemis for the first time, I felt like it was love at first sight.
I was instantly hyped for the character, while most people were complaining that ‘BMG had run out of ideas for new legends’, I couldn’t wait for her release, she was so beautiful, I never felt so hyped for something like I did for Artemis. I was probably the first person to make fanart for her and post it on r/Brawlhalla. People’s opinions on Artemis were very 50/50. People didn’t like her because ‘it’s just female Orion’, others genuinely liked her, and were excited to play with the next scythe legend.
I didn’t have many friends at the time who were into Brawlhalla, so for me the hype was kept mainly to myself, and of course, through my art. The picture we had of Artemis was very poor quality, so a lot of early art was missing a lot of details, but I didn’t care; I just kept drawing the only thing that was bringing me happiness.
I was a 14 year old when all of this happened, school was being very rough on me, back in the day I used to struggle so much to study, it was a pain to focus and learn, I’d always give up and go back to video games and art. My grades were horrible, I felt like my personal friendships were kind of faling apart, and so with my family. The only light at the end of the tunnel I had at the time, was the idea of making an ask blog for Artemis.
At first, I was skeptical. What if it flops? The Brawlhalla community wasn’t very active in other social medias, it was small, but everyone was close and if something big was announced, the word would spread fast. I mean, it was worth a short. Worse comes to worse, I delete the blog and move on. Ask blogs weren’t as popular as they were either.
I had claimed the URL even before Artemis was announced in a dev stream, so the blog was ready to go. I remember waiting a little more than a month when the patch of her release was finally online, and I did my move of announcing the blog in every social media I could, and so I waited for the community to show up.
And they didn’t stop coming! It was ask after ask, I was so happy, this little blog was my escape from the real world. Answering people as Artemis was honestly the most fun I was having during that year. And I could also draw her as much as I’d like! The blog was growing, and so was my audience of people who was genuinely following me for my regular art. Even when I was grounded because I did bad on a test, I still answered people with drawings made on paper.
Needless to say, this blog was definitely, a start for me in the Brawlhalla community. “Are you the person who draws a lot of Artemis?” “Yep! That’s me!” It was great, I felt like I was finally becoming someone somewhat important in a community like I always wished to, drawing what I loved, and people loved it. I even met my soon-to-be boyfriend through it!
But of course, that didn’t stop what was happening outside of the computer screen. Things were going even more downhill the more I focused on the internet and forgot about real life. It was helpless; there was no way I was passing that school year, I’d have to repeat it. My parents had decided that maybe one of the issues was that, my old school, was one of those schools that go really hard on the students, and that was not my place. So, the next year, 2018, I changed schools for the first time.
I’ve always had really bad anxiety. On the first day in the new school, you know what I did? I drew Artemis. What a surprise to nobody, but for me, this was my moment of realization, that this space lady from a fighting game, was my comfort character. This possibly canonically evil woman who wants to kill my main because of some fucked up shit he did in the past, was my comfort character. I was depressed? I drew Artemis. I was happy? I drew Artemis. I was extremely pissed off?? You guessed it! I drew Artemis! It is likely that a lot of pieces I made of her that I’ve posted online, were created from strong emotions I had while I drew it. There’s a lot that I didn’t even post either.
In 2018 I was still updating the blog, but I was also focusing a lot more on school. I was managing to get good grades, I made new friends, had new experiences, and my relationship with my family was getting better. Of course every year has its ups and downs, but overall, the important part, was finally being taken care of; I passed the school year, and then I passed again, and I passed again! I have just one more year to go, and hopefully, in 2021 I’ll be done.
Setting that aside, as the blog grew, my audience online did so too. My art improved, I’ve become, for the lack of a better word, an important member in the community. A lot of people have seen my art, and some of them probably don’t even follow me!
Today, I am a Brawlhalla Partner, I have a wonderful boyfriend, incredible friends, an amazing relationship with my family, and I am now hoping for a bright future of work ahead of me, and it was all thanks to this ask blog of a fictional character who I deeply loved. I would have never made it where I am today without Artemis, without Brawlhalla, without all of you. I could ever be thankful, and all I can give you all is more fanart of this amazing game that has completely changed my life, and with how Brawlhalla has been growing? Keep an eye on this one, it’s gonna get big.
Thank you so much everyone who has supported me over the years, and followed me more than just Artemis content. The updates on the blog have stopped because I’ve been focusing on other things. trying out new stuff and focusing on myself to become a better person and artist, creating my own stories with original characters, which I’m excited to share with all of you.
Anyway, take care, whoever read this far <3 Hopefully 2021 will be a better year for everyone.

Agree so much with your post about the teams and fan engagement ! And love the way you articulated all of that. Although now I definitely am interested in knowing what your notes about the specificity of each team/artist cause I feel like they'd be fascinating to read. Hope you'll post them some day, and thank you for sharing your thoughts with us ! 😊
Awwww, that’s very kind! It’s definitely head canon city, I litcherally have ZERO clue what goes on behind the scenes (and I can’t stress this enough, none of us do), so this’ll look hilariously dated when we find out that blah woof was true all along, lmao (me @ myself, thinking of some random Grimshaw interviews from last fall, oh, bless). Let’s dig in!!
For those of you who just stumbled upon this post, it’s related to the one I made last night about how I think the management teams of all these men (mid-20s means = you’re a man, not a boy) are not, in fact, sabotaging them. They negotiate a lot of tricky interconnected arrangements that none of us are privy, to, plus they’re at least trying to achieve the goals their clients are going for. And they’re doing it—the trick is these goals are highly individual and not 100% sensical (at least given our own view from the afternoon, Arctic Monkeys ref, holllllllah!!!).
In addition, these goals constantly shift, as does the music industry itself—I drive my own self loony when I lurk on blogs that are seemingly broadcasting from 2012, confused by why xx’s team is so “terrible” because they aren’t throwing good money after bad to get on a radio playlist, or why they haven’t announced yy “properly,” as if they’re being paid to worry about this level of shit (which fires me up on about five levels, deep breaths in, deep breaths out). I’m much nosier about the signals we’re getting when we hear them talk in their beautifully media-trained way about their musical interests, when we get some of that sweet, sweet fan service with a Gallagher or a Capaldi, when we get that heads up about who’s attending what concert, stuff like that. These signals don’t necessarily indicate future collaborations, but they DO indicate what kind of image these guys want to have, the kind of music they want the public to associate them with.
Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself…their personalities and goals at the moment are all so vastly different, and I truly do love seeing how their teams are workin’ it accordingly. Again, please @ god, don’t @ me…opinions, massively unpopular opinions, dead ahead!
* Zayn. My read on Zayn is that he enjoys the creative process, loves writing and singing, digs collabing with people, but he doesn’t seem to give two shits about the biz side (and why should he? that’s called living the dream at this particular point in his career). His website recently added “tour,” which EYEBALL EYEBALL, but he doesn’t seem to be all that interested in putting himself back out on stage or into radio/print/etc. anytime soon, and again, why should he? His numbers are HUGE without pushing himself through the anxiety-provoking churn he endured for four years, so there’s no real drive for him to do any promo if he doesn’t want to (see: the netflix-like binge dump of Icarus Falls, which could be “sabotage,” or it could just be, “fineeeeeeee, here’s some stuff for you, enjoy”). What other artist gifts his fans with gorgeous covers of such a wide variety of songs that indicate he’s more interested in sharing them than selling them. Accordingly, his fan interactions seem fairly pure and not all that promo-y: he has a keen interest in fanart, he’s done some fan pop-ups/listening parties that are pretty low-key and *seemingly* fan-focused, and recently (with zero anything to really promote), he’s been posing for cute pics and chatting with randos on the streets of NYC. I recently read that his mgmt team is no longer with him, but that sort of folds into my feeling that he’s not pursuing anything biz-wise, hence no need to jump through those particular hoops (I think he’s also struggled with a lot of demons, so yeah, why add one more). Could he be adrift? Maybe, but the next guy is the posterman for lack of focus….
* Liam. Honestly, I worry about Liam most of all. His post-1D career seems very much adrift, and I like to joke that he’s giving me that tell-all about the D one sentence at a time, but goddamn, are people listening? The struggles with alcohol, the lack of focus on every level, the reliance on his dad’s career advice (which more clearly reflects his dad’s financial class, background, and history than it does Liam’s), and the overall confusion about look, sound, and direction also flow back directly into his team. I get the feeling that they aren’t sure what to do because LIAM isn’t sure what to do or what he wants, so they follow in his wake. He’s agreeable to a fault, so seeing him at a meet-and-greet at an HMV in Birmingham last week felt like a step back into 2010 for no real reason, just like hearing that he was more or less coerced into full nude photoshoots for an underwear ad (the decisions to say yes to both of those—who’s steering this ship? If it’s Liam, he needs to tell the team his overall goal, so they can plot a course he and his fans can follow; if it’s the team, ditto). Like Niall, Liam’s actually pretty good at the SM game: lots of selfies, snapchat filters, outfits, gym service, twitter interactions. But generally speaking, his promo is confusing, and that’s probably because there isn’t much *to* promote at this point, other than a mix of collabs, clothing endorsements, spon con, horse farms, and an album that’s always on the horizon. This might be tied to the general post-1D jolt they all went through, like a plane coming off autopilot and into the hands of someone who’s just learning how to fly it. Zayn debuted at number one, so his bump wasn’t as harsh, but the others are slowly, steadily finding their footing after taking some time to find themselves and their sound, releasing songs/albums, performing (or in Louis’s case, going through unspeakable tragedy). Liam’s still adrift…and somewhat admittedly, which is kind of telling in its own way. Just know that my nervousness on his behalf ratchets up every time he feels the urge to assure us all that he’s happy.
* Niall. Truly the one following the original 1D template, right down to working with most of the same people but with more of the overall control in his hands instead of a faceless management squad. Of any of them, he seems the most ambitious, the most scientific about the sound he’s after and how he’s gonna get there. His promo is a mix of new and traditional—radio shows, talk shows, podcasts, special events, twitter interactions with fans, twitter interactions with entertaining celebrities—and it’s all hustle hustle hustle, build build build, as if he were a new ingenue instead of coming up hard on solo album number two. He’s explicit in his goals, which is refreshing, but it means he walks a weird line with fans: on one hand, he’s done with their bullshit, get ready to get rekt if you start commenting on his boring food seasoning or home décor. But on the other hand, he fully recognizes how much he needs them, which is why we get so many peeks into his “normal” life (yet zero percent of his actual personal life). It’s also probably why the blatant tweets of the last two days seem so jarring to me (I might be alone on this one, but I’m not a fan of directives in general, and asking me to call radio stations on behalf of a rich white man to become even richer just rubs me the wrong way, same with asking me to stream stuff to get you to number one…you’ve been there, buddy, how about you calm down and build some character at number 51). And speaking of calming down, it does fascinate me that both Niall and Louis namecheck Taylor Swift as someone who gets the whole fandom push/pull thing right, so watching them try to reverse-engineer her secrets is fun. Louis nails it (that hotspot treasure hunt: chef’s kiss), but Niall’s heavy-handed easter egg dump in NTMY, she would never!! I think Niall’s team needs to watch “Calm Down” about five more times before they try that again.
* Louis. I think Louis honestly has an AMAZING team in place, and they’re all clearly on his side, which makes for a refreshing change. Like Niall, he has publicly praised Taylor Swift for how she engages with her fans, but I think he’s missing a key point: she doesn’t let her fans dictate strategy, and I HOPE that’s the case for Louis, too. His old team *was* shit, so yeah, encouraging people to do fan projects to get the word out was a good idea, but turning that spigot off to let a good (paid) team step in and take over has been, uh, challenging. He’s dealt with more than his fair share of personal tragedy, but every time he gets some momentum going, it feels like something bts pushes him back off track, and he tends to keep it private, which only makes his hardest-core fans scream “sabotage.” Rightly so, he’s focusing on his personal life, and rightly so, his team is giving him the space to do that, even when it costs cash money and throws a lot of shit seriously for a loop. It makes my heart soar to see the potential of what his team can do/is doing, how much space he’s being allowed to process what he needs to process. Weirdly, that’s an unpopular opinion, and a lot of people want to indulge in an angst wank fest where Louis’s the victim of a terrible team that won’t DO anything (nevermind the fact that he’s probably ASKED them not to do anything), so they undertake a tremendous amount of performative unpaid labor that ends up being counterproductive on just about every front. Even worse, most of them can’t seem to process the fact that losing your mum is a blow, losing your SISTER is a blow, juggling other siblings or close friends handling some serious demons of their own in the aftermath of all of *that* is a blow, let alone handling your own personal coping mechanisms, nope, they want Louis to release release release, perform perform perform, c’mon, what’s holding him back, he *said* he wanted to release an album this year, there’s “no reason” for a delay, gotta be his shitty team, free him. It drives me ‘round the bend because it’s the same talk from late last year, you know, when we later found out that at least one family member was losing a fight with drug addiction. Louis’s fan engagement/promo is therefore hella fraught: he has to balance LouisTM on twitter (Mr. Donny, he’s hard, mate), his werk IG posts, and his constant edging because nobody can remember or trust that he’s got this, that multiple things are in play. But he also knows his fanbase, knows that it’s resistant to any kind of change, so I hope he pushes through and stays true to what he wants to do. I was really encouraged with his last promo round because he seems to have narrowed in on a something solid, he’s got a plan, and it’s not, “hey mr dj, put my record on,” it’s getting his fans to trust that he and his team know what the fuck they’re doing, and spoiler alert, it ain’t radio, but go ahead and keep pissing off djs by sending angry tweets their way. (Related: why is it so bad to avoid the radio when all of us admit that radio music is garbage? Is it because it’s more about you than him? Much to think about.)
* Harry. My very favorite head canon is that Harry is Jeff’s nightmare client: what was perfection at first because the Azoffs are old-school promo all the way (no SM, baby, gimme that sweet, sweet paper), and that dovetailed nicely with post-1D Harry, but it quickly veered into mulish teeth pulling. Low profile can quickly spin into no profile, and that really doesn’t work too well when you’re trying to sell sell sell, even if your brand is Harry StylesTM. HS1 and Dunkirk in their own separate ways worked VERY hard to push past the still-persistent way the general public views Harry as boybander Harry Styles, or more accurately, former boybander Harry Styles who dated Taylor Swift (if you venture out and ask someone who’s not a fan), but what I love about Harry is that much like Zayn, he doesn’t seem to be too bothered by all that. Sure, he’s ambitious, he wants to challenge himself and do things, but he’s no Niall Horan. He’s put in his time! If he gets a number one, then cool, but he’s not gonna chase it. And this is where Harry’s team really reflects his goals and energy: sure, they want him to do some promo (that “Do” tweet, the entire bit about the fan in Australia and Harry Lambert’s follow, goddddd, I loved it, petty Harry, resigned Jeff), but they clearly aren’t forcing him. He drops a song that makes a HUGE splash, and the follow-up is…liking some tweets and going to a John Mayer concert (not a John Mayer fan, so that wouldn’t be my first choice, but I respond to the zero fucks given about the whole thing). The music industry has changed a LOT in just two years, so it’s kind of cool to see team Harry pivoting a bit, seeing more SM interaction, the kindness generator, etc., but that said, the team takes their cues from him, and he clearly doesn’t want to do a whole promo circuit beyond persons a, b, and c, and magazine R, F, and A. Does it make sense to have Rob Sheffield write a profile about Stevie Nicks-blessed shroom-eater Harry Styles when his new song sounds like the Zarry combo of my dreams? NOPE, but that’s okay, Harry wanted to talk to Rob, so that’s what happened. The new song is more streaming friendly, and thank CHRIST, a lot less crusty white dude stuck in the ‘70s, so I can only hope that the rest of the album is thus, but we shall see! We’ll also see if Harry’s fan engagement shifts any further into the active zone…so far, it’s been “I’m gonna follow some larries, like these fun generator posts, check out a few dads” and staged photo ops with the same familiar faces, but I think he’s dealing with his own major bts issues as well (album delayed at least twice; that entire stalking situation). I still contend the album’s coming in the next few weeks, so it’ll be interesting to see if/how any additional promo rolls out in this new world order post-gryles landscape, how many interviews he’ll do, but I like that there’s a strategy that seems less stodgy…kudos to the new SM team, at least!!
Oh man, that got really long! Hope you enjoyed, and YES, opinions opinions opinions, and they’ll be stupid in about three weeks’ time, thanks for coming to my already dated buzzfeed article

I truly do apologize for the lack of answered asks in the past. When this blog had multiple mods (and that’s not to say there aren’t multiple mods attached to this blog but no one, aside from myself, has had much gumption to keep the ball rolling on it recently) I was always apprehensive about answering any asks that came into the box because I didn’t want to step on any toes or upset anyone by ‘taking all the asks to myself’. Believe it or not, I’m not a founding member of this blog even though I did step into this role pretty early on. Since I’ve decided that I’m just kind of going to grab the bull by the horns and assert ‘ownership’ of this blog and running it, I’ll be better about answering questions as they (and if they, please don’t feel like you cant ask things!) come in. I’ve mentioned a few times in the past about doing a weekly or bi-weekly or monthly q&a session, and I really do want to do that and have some ideas, but it’s still in the works unless I hear an overwhelming amount of negative feedback to that idea. Here’s some old asks I’m going to get cleaned out of the box so it’s empty for the next submission period which is coming up very soon.
TL:DR – I’m gonna answer these old asks cause I’m caught up on all the confessions and the box is cleaned out when I open it for submissions this weekend.
 - Ruckus
jay-leno-incarnate said: The person who sent the thing about lore purism doesn't make sense tho? Didn't Virgil cure himself of FEV?
Yes, he did. Well, if you give him the cure of course.
lordoftheteddybears said: Not a confession: But am I the only one who encounters a rad storm every single time I visit the Cambridge police station? Like I go to leave and boom. Storm
Can’t say I’ve encountered that. But then again, it’s been a while since I’ve played it. I was playing a decent bit of 76 and then Borderlands 3 came out… But I guess I wouldn’t be surprised if the timing was just that awful for you. Bummer…
antisocialleprechaun said: My Dude (or Dude-ess, I dunno I don't read shit about the mods), I love your long ass answer because it means you care.
<3 Yeah, there’s no shortage of caring here, sometimes (a lot of times) I even care too much!
rain-down-love said: So tell me, any of the mods that have played Nuka World - is it just me or are the Operators cosplaying Klaus Nomi?
Well, I don’t really know the answer to this. I did play that DLC but I was streaming it and sometimes I’m screwing around and only half paying attention to the story. I never really FINISHED the DLC cause I was getting frustrated that the raider settlement I made wasn’t happen even though I gave them two of everything they wanted…
ANYWAY, I can see the resemblance.
romulus-ac said: "Let us be gay Todd" is probably one of the best tags I have seen in a confession. Thank you guys, you cracked me up.
insanityfluff said: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY GUYS YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY DAMN GREAT HOPE YOU GUYS GET A SHIT TON OF ROSES
I got none. But it’s okay, I got confessions instead!
inuyasha0009 said: Do you happen to have the picks of Nick without the quotes. Because having both versions would be amazing ✨❤️✨
I don’t because I’m not 100% sure on which image you mean and also I’m 96% sure I didn’t make that confession.
antisocialleprechaun said: I always forget I wrote out a submission when your submission box is open. It just sits in a folder, never looked at.
Your chance is coming up very soon!
oddball16 said:You guys are amazing. Huge fans. From the tags you guys write i feel like your all swell people in person too
Thank you, so very much. You’ve been an avid support to the work that we, I, do so thank you for being such a stellar fandom member. I hope you like hugs!
Tumblr media
elshion said: OOOOKLAHOMA WHERE THE NUCLEAR FALLOUT COMES SWEEPING DOWN THE PLAINS
chefpief said: You folks comin back for Fallout 76?
wizardbaker said: Where are those confessions at? Fallout 76 was announced, seems like a prime time to show them off.
We’re back, I’m back, I’m ready! Lets do this!

Sharing is Caring (Except When You’re Sick) Chapter 7 (Sick Luther and Klaus)
Part 7 of my collab with @hargreevesstyles, sick Luther and sick Klaus, can also be read on her blog, yadda yadda yadda
bada bing bada boom
Allison made Luther drink three glasses of water before she put him back to bed, pulling the blankets back up to his chin. He was shaking a bit, and his forehead was a little bit damp, but she chalked it up to dehydration. She left the now-empty garbage bin by his side, just to be safe.
She frowned at the way Luther kept clutching at his throat and wincing, even as he drifted off to sleep. She considered giving him some more throat spray or some more cough syrup, but she decided against it. Gag reflex factor ran way too high with those, and she’d rather have him suffer through a sore throat than risk the chance of him losing any more of his body’s water content.
Then Allison thought to take his temperature again.  She went to go find a thermometer. As she walked past Klaus’ room she heard Five talking to Klaus and Klaus responding with a few harsh sneezes. Allison chuckled to herself as she heard Klaus scold Five for not blessing him. So much for him getting some sleep.
Allison found a thermometer in the kitchen and then brought it back up to Luther’s room. He was fast asleep on his bed, but Allison decided she still needed to know his temperature. She slipped the thermometer through his parted lips, they were dry and cracked. She made a mental note to pick up some chapstick—Klaus’ lips had been chapped as well.
Luther’s temperature read back as 104.3 and Allison nearly lost her shit. She scrambled to the kitchen, remembering that that was where they left Diego. He wasn’t there. Allison frantically ran about the house shouting for him. As she strode past the front door she slammed into Vanya who was just returning from rehearsal.
“Oh my god Vanya Luther’s temperature is so high it’s almost the same as Klaus’ when he passed out and I don’t know what to do I can’t find Diego and Five is watching over Klaus and-“
“What the hell? Klaus passed out?”
Allison nodded, not realizing how much Vanya had missed.
“That’s it I’m canceling my lessons for today.” Vanya whipped her phone out and started sending messages as Allison lead her upstairs to Luther’s room. “How is Klaus doing? How long has it been since he passed out? Is he okay?”
“Five is in there with him, Vanya,” Allison said. She felt bad but her concern was really focused on Luther for the time being.
The two girls entered Luther’s room. Allison has helped prop him up so in case he did start vomitif again he at least wouldn’t choke on it. He was so flushed. As soon as they entered, Vanya immediately announced that she was going to get some cold compresses and as many fans as she could find to try and lower Luther’s temperature.
It was now that Allison realized how different this was to Klaus having a high temperature. Klaus was long but he was skinny as all hell and therefore it was easy to manipulate his weak or limp body. Luther however, was quite a bit bigger than Klaus in both respects. It would take all of the Hargreeves siblings to carry Luther to the bath to cool him off.
When Vanya returned with the supplies, they set Luther up as best as they could.
“Alright I think that’s the best we can do for now. We should probably leave him to get some rest,” Vanya said.
Allison hesitated. “Uh, I think I’m gonna say with him for a bit. Let me know if you need me though, okay?”
Vanya nodded and then left without another word. She walked down the hallway to Klaus’ bedroom and knocked on his door. A hoarse voice called for her to come in so she did quietly. She saw how terrible Klaus looked. His face looked...puffy, like she could see how congested he was. He was grabbing a tissue off of the bedside table as Vanya stepped farther into the room, having shut the door behind her.
“Hhietshiew! Hihhihhisshiew-hehhNXGT’uh!” Klaus smothered the messy sneezed into the tissue he had just picked up.
Vanya joked, “Wow, not even a ‘hello’?”
Her teasing caused Klaus to laugh and then clear his throat with a liquidy sniffle tacked onto the end. “Sorry,” he croaked, “hey Vanya. How was rehearsal?”
“It was okay. I was worried about you, though. How are you feeling?” She sat down on the edge of Klaus’ bed and held onto his hand.
“Been better,” Klaus said with a small sniffle, wincing slightly when it only added to the pressure in his sinuses. “But really, it’s not that bad.”
“Allison said you passed out,” Vanya said softly, squeezing Klaus’ hand. He responded with a reluctant nod and a little sigh, only to cringe and cough a second later when it irritated his throat.  “Do you still feel dizzy at all?”
“No. Just really stuffed up.”
“You sound so hoarse. I’ll get you some of that throat spray."
“No, Luther said it doesn’t work, remember?” Klaus reminded her. Vanya turned her head towards the door for a split second at the mention of Luther; Klaus followed her gaze. “How is he, have you seen him?”
“He’s asleep,” Vanya said quickly, squeezing Klaus’ hand again. “His fever went down, don’t worry about him.” It technically wasn’t a lie; she just neglected to mention that it had gone back up again. She really didn’t need Klaus to be worrying about him right now, he needed to focus on himself. Thankfully, he seemed to buy it.
“Good, good. He needs his sleep… hh’Dtshiew!”
“Bless you!” An unfamiliar female voice came from the hallway. Vanya looked at Klaus in confusion, then fear. Klaus just stared at her blankly; he’d assumed it was a ghost.
“Klaus? You up?” Diego’s voice came in from the hallway. And then he was stepping into the room, followed by a woman with a low ponytail, dressed in a turtleneck.
“Hey, Diego,” Klaus rasped.
“You must be Klaus. And, um, Vanya?” the woman in the turtleneck spoke. They looked at each other and nodded tentatively. “Hi, I’m Eudora Patch. But just call me Patch”
“Hi,” Vanya said quietly, eyes darting back and forth between Diego and this ‘Patch.’
“Eudora is my friend from the police academy,” Diego explained. The woman’s face fell a bit at that description. “I asked her to help me look after you, Klaus.”
“Ha!” the woman rolled her eyes. “That’s not what happened at all.”
To Diego’s dismay, Patch explained to them exactly what had happened. When Diego woke up on the living room floor, he’d been pretty pent up about everything. He’d felt like hurting Luther and Five, an to stop himself, he’d called his “friend” Patch (though Klaus and Vanya could pick up on the sexual tension emanating off of them in waves). They had an agreement: when he got like this, he’d call her up and she’d drive him around and talk it out until he calmed down (yup, definitely just “friends”). He’d explained to her what happened, and when talking didn’t calm down his anxiety about Klaus, she’d suggested she drop by and help him take care of him. Which is exactly what they were doing.
Vanya narrowed her eyes at him, ignoring the stranger.
“So what, you don’t trust us to look after him?”
“Sorry, no. Seeing as you knocked me out earlier over a little argument, I don’t trust you to look after our incredibly fragile brother.”
“I’m not -hhh’xgchu-nxgt! fr-ackstju!- fragile.”
“Are you hearing yourself, right now?” Diego rushed over and put a hand to Klaus’ forehead. “You’re still warm -- where’s the thermometer?”
“You’re freaking out, again, Diego.” Vanya put her hand gently on Diego’s arm but he wriggled away from her grasp. “Klaus doesn’t need you panicking over him, he needs someone to keep him calm.”
“What’s her name again? Vanya? I like her--”
“Do you know how many times I’ve seen Klaus practically knocking on death’s door? You have no idea how quickly things can go to shit with him.”
“Diego, I’m fine!” Klaus whined. “Really, my fever’s gone down a lot since I passed out.”
“Since you what?” Diego’s jaw clenched.
“Diego, remember your breathing--”
“I’m gonna kill him,” he said through gritted teeth, before storming out into the hallway. “Hey, asshole! Looks like you got what you wanted, huh?” his voice carried through the hallway. He sounded scary mad. Vanya scurried off after him.
All of this action was a lot for Klaus. “Diego, don’t you dare touch him!” He whimpered and buried his head in his hands. “Ugh, why did I say anything?” he rasped. “I don’t need a murder on my hands.”
“Hey, uh. Klaus?” He looked up from his hands. Turtleneck lady--Eudora Patch, whatever the fuck her name was-- was still standing there, looking pretty damn confused. “Are you okay?”
Klaus wiped his eyes. “I’m okay, are you?”
Eudora was put off. She was used to people saying that sarcastically or defensively but Klaus seemed to be genuinely asking.
“I’m doing alright. Would you like to accompany me to find Diego?”
Klaus sniffled, “Okay, one sehhhcondhhishyiew-inxgsh’uh! Ihhnxgtchiew! Sndf, okay sorry.”
The pale boy stood up shakily and Eudora put her arm around him as she led him into he hallway. Klaus liked her. She was sweet and caring just like Diego but she knew how to calm him down and when to put him in his place. Klaus wondered why he hadn’t met her before.
They walked over to Luther’s room, following the loud sound of Diego’s voice, and they saw Luther pitched over, sneezing while Diego continued to shout at him.
“Hh’EKSHIEW! HhNXGHT-NXGHT’UH-NXGHTCHIEW!” Luther’s breath was hitching wildly. He was clearly trying to hold his sneezes back but even the stifles were loud.
Diego growled, “Oh, here we go again with the huge ass sneezes. You know, I used to think Klaus was the dramatic one maybe it’s actually you, Luther. Speaking of Klaus he’s in his room trying to get some rest because of the cold that you gave him, but I think something might be keeping him up!”
Luther cried, “Ihhh-I’m not hehhh...I’m not trying t’hahhhHHrENGTSHIEW! IHHHENGT’SHUH!” Tears were streaming down his cheeks. Whether they were from the sneezing or Diego’s tormenting, no one could tell.
“Bless you,” came a soft, hoarse voice from the hallway. “He’s not bothering me, Diego. I promise.”
“I know you’re just saying that, Klaus, he’s making a racket and-”
Eudora cut in, “And he’s sick, Diego. He’s not feeling well. Stop being a bitch and maybe give him as much care as you’re giving Klaus because he’s clearly still feeling shitty. You don’t need to be adding onto that as much as you are right now. How would you feel if someone was treating Klaus like this right now?” Diego didn’t say a word. “That’s what I thought. Luther, how are you feeling, sweetie?”
Luther shrugged. Tears were still falling down his face, meaning that they weren’t just from the sneezes. Allison stroked his back softly and tried to calm him down.
“Can everyone give me and Luther a few minutes alone?” Allison asked. Everyone filed out quickly, Eudora still having her arm wrapped around Klaus as Diego joined to do the same on his other side. “You alright, Luther?”
“I didn’t mean to get Klaus sick, I swear,” Luther sobbed. “I-I didn’t mean to let Ben die either it’s just-everything is my fault and-and I don’t know how to fix it.”
Luther was getting himself so worked up Allison was afraid he would get sick again. She tried explaining that it wasn’t Luther’s fault that Ben died and Ben didn’t blame him for it and that it wasn’t Luther’s fault that Klaus got sick and Klaus knew that. Unfortunately, logic wasn’t really appealing to Luther in his current state. She tried running her hands through his hair and wrapping her arms around him--nothing worked. He was still bawling in her arms.
Then, Allison got an idea.
“Luther, look at me,” She said, tilting his head up. She looked him in the eyes. “I heard a rumor, that you felt better.”
Luther’s eyes lit up blue as she relayed the command. His sobs started to fade away over the course of a few minutes, and Luther fell asleep in her arms.
Allison knew that her statement was vague but she hoped that it would at least do something to help Luther feel more like himself again.
To her delight, it actually seemed to work. Allison tracked his fever every fifteen minutes, watching it descend rapidly each time, until it had finally reached a manageable 100.1°.
Klaus, on the other hand, wasn’t doing so well. In that time, his fever had climbed its way back up to 101.8°, and the fear of seeing dead babies kept from falling asleep again.
Diego stayed with him, checking his fever the same way (he’d bought another thermometer when he was out with Patch), and medicated him appropriately. Eudora kept him from panicking, assuring him repeatedly that his brother was safe.
She kept Klaus entertained with a constant influx of stories about all the times Diego has fucked up at the police academy. Diego remained tight-lipped and closed off throughout all of it; they could all tell there was some weird tension between them. But Klaus and Vanya both still laughed at the stories (although Klaus wouldn’t let himself laugh too hard, his throat hurt too much). They were both really starting to like Eudora.
With Luther’s fever under control, Allison spent about an hour alone with Klaus, while the others were downstairs cooking dinner. Klaus seemed to be pretty coherent and not in any immediate danger. They engaged in lighthearted chatter while she painted his nails, redoing his right hand three times when he sneezed and ruined the job. Allison was exhausted from taking care of her brothers all day. She’d handled it alone when Klaus passed out and when Luther puked his guts out, and she’d had to tend to two high fevers within hours of each other. This quiet moment was very welcome.
That was, until Klaus started whining. About his hair, of all things.
“Please, Allison.” His voice was raspy and breaking. “I can feel my curls getting all sticky and gross!”
“It’s just gonna get more frizzy, Klaus. Believe me, I would know.” She gestured at her own perfect curls.
“Please just let me wash my hair.”
“No one’s gonna see it, Klaus--”
“Dave might see it!” He pushed himself up on his elbows. “Please, I’ll be really quick-”
“No!”
Unfortunately for Allison, using her power was like a drug. If she  used it once, she was bound to use it again soon. It was a hard cycle to kick.
“Please?” He pouted. Allison bit down on her lip to keep from yelling; he was really trying her patience.
“Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleeeeeeeeease-”
“I heard a rumor,” Allison finally broke, holding Klaus’ face in her hands so he was looking at her., “that you can’t stop sneezing.” Klaus’ eyes flashed bright blue for a second. And then immediately, his breath hitched..
“Hh - Allison, gett off me, I have to snehhh-ih? Hih-etshieww! Hahhnxgtsjuu! Heh-itschiuu!” Allison grinned; it was better than him whining. “Ugh, sorry, it came on so -hih!- suddenly… Heh! Oh fuck- hhHtdSZHiehh! ngk’tshiiu-heh! hhietshieww!” His breath was hitching wildly as he tried desperately not to sneeze. “Oh fuck, I can’t stohhekshieww! exNGTuhh! Ngxt! ehhhTD’shuu! Xngt-eshuu! Hiehh’etshuu! Ugh.”
Allison giggled. “I heard a rumor that you stopped sneezing.”
Her smile faded as she watched Klaus continue to sneeze, even after his eyes flashed blue a second time. He gasped for air in between. Eventually, it died down, but as the space between the sneezes became greater, the wheeze in his breath became more pronounced.
“ohgodicantbreathe-HxtSHiuu. Allison,” he wheezed, voice a strangled whisper. “Can you get my inhaler?”
Allison searched his drawers in a panic, but found nothing. Where the hell was it? The last time she’d seen him use it, it was in the living room.
Allison ran to the door and called down the stairs. “Diego! Get Klaus’ inhaler, quick!”
Diego was rushing upstairs within seconds, dressed in a frilly pink apron, with the inhaler in hand.
“Oh god, Klaus!” He rushed over and held the inhaler to Klaus’ mouth. “Breathe in-”
Klaus slapped his hand away. “I can - ihh…. ihhhetshiew! I can do it myself,” he gasped out, before taking a puff. Allison and Diego watched with bated breath as Klaus’ breathing started to even out. Allison didn’t realize she’d been holding her own breath until she heard Klaus let out a sigh of relief moments after taking a second puff.
“What the hell happened?” Diego had his arms crossed over his chest. He looked at Allison accusingly.
“I didn’t - he just started sneezing like crazy, and then that happened.” Her hands were in tight fists at her sides, the only sign of her guilt. She was an actress, after all. “I didn’t know-”
“Didn’t know what, that he’d had asthma all our fucking lives?” Diego hissed. “The second you heard his breathing change you should’ve called for me.”
“I’m sorry,” Allison shook her head. “I didn’t mean to-”
“Didn’t mean to what?” Diego spat back at her, coming up way too close for her taste. She backed away.
“Diego!” They whipped their heads to the door. Eudora stood in the doorway dressed in an identical apron to Diego’s, arms crossed and eyebrows raised to the man in question. “What did I tell you?”
She nodded her head towards Klaus, who was sitting up in bed with his fingers pressed to his temples, face scrunched up in pain.
Immediately, Diego shrunk back, shoulders hunching slightly.
“I’m sorry,” he said through gritted teeth.
“Come on, celery still needs chopping. See you two soon!” Diego followed her out of the room. Allison turned back to Klaus and gently put his hands down at his side. She wiped his tears with the back of her hand and stroked his cheek.
“I’m so sorry, Klaus.”
“For what? It’s not your fault I’m sick.” Of course, he didn’t remember. But Allison had still felt the need to say it.
“No, Klaus, it is my fault. I-” she looked at the door, double checking that they were alone. “You’re gonna hate me.” Klaus quirked a brow.
“What do you mean? I could never hate you, Ally.”
“Klaus, I-” she lowered her voice and looked at the floor. “I rumored you to have that sneezing fit.”
“What?” Klaus went silent, dropping his gaze to his hands on his lap. He picked at his fingernails. Finally he looked back up at her after a moment, with a raise brow. “Why, uh… why did you do that?”
Allison gulped. “You kept going on about your hair,” she explained, still unable to meet his eyes. “And I knew it would make you stop.”
“Oh.” He dropped his gaze towards his lap again, shoulders hunching. “That’s-”
“I didn’t think this would happen, I thought it would just be a few sneezes, I totally forgot about your asthma.” Allison explained, cutting him off. Klaus nodded but didn’t look up. “It was stupid, and careless, and I should have stopped it way sooner than I did. I’m so sorry, Klaus.”
“It’s okay, I forgive you” Klaus said softly, finally looking up at her again. The hurt in his eyes was obvious, though he tried to smile through it. He wasn’t so great at masking his emotions when he was sick. It just made Allison feel worse. “I know I can be a lot. I’d probably want to shut me up, too.”
“Klaus, that’s not - I  just gave you a fucking asthma attack-”
“Which you didn’t know was going to happen,” Klaus smiled sadly. “I know you’d never try to hurt me-”
“But I did!” Tears were welling up in Allison’s eyes now. “It doesn’t matter what my intention was, I hurt you!”
“Well it wasn’t my intention to ruin your whole day by being a fucking invalid,” Klaus countered. His fists were clenched at his side as hot tears slid down his cheeks. “But here I am, sick as shit, once a-fucking-gain.. I-I never wanted to be such a burden.” He shut his eyes tight, sniffling back the tears. “A-and then I had to be all whiney and dramatic… who wouldn’t want me to shut up?” tears were full-on streaming now, hands pressed tight against his face as he tried to stop himself. “I don’t even know why you’re still here. I would have left me to rot.”
Klaus’ words made Allison feel even more guilty, but she had to take a moment to process them before she said the wrong thing. She was crying even more now, seeing her brother in so much pain. But she new her pain was nothing on how shitty she’d made him feel. She’d already apologized, and she didn’t want to make this about her apologizing, or about begging for his forgiveness. So she made comforting him her objective.
She sat down on Klaus’ bed and scooped him up in her arms, shushing and soothing him. He tensed in her arms, like he wanted her to let go.
“Of course I’m still here. I could never leave you, not again, Klaus, don’t you dare say anything like that to me ever again. You hear me?” Though her words were stern and commanding, her tone was soft. “You’re not a burden, you could never be a burden.” Klaus shook his head and gave another little sob. Allison responded by petting his hair, something that always seemed to calm him down. “I don’t care what Dad told you. Or what those assholes you used to date told you. n this house, you’re loved and appreciated.”
Klaus nodded and settled into Allison’s touch more and more as his tears slowly died down. After a few moments of uninterrupted crying, he finally spoke up in a shaky voice, “You wanted to shut me up. You yourself said I was being annoying.”
“Yeah, you were!” Allison ruffled his hair. “You’re allowed to be annoying, you’re sick! And you’re my brother, it’s your job. It’s my job to tell you to shut up.” Klaus made a noise that sounded like a laugh, but it came out like more of a snort due to the crying. “The way  did it was wrong, though. I just got a little frustrated, cause I’m tired -- not that that’s an excuse. But you have to know that me rumoring you was not about you. It was about me. I was being a tired, whiny little bitch.”
Klaus full-on laughed now, and even though it ended in coughing, Allison was relieved to hear it.
“You are the textbook definition of ‘little bitch,’” he teased. Allison responded by grabbing some tissues and wiping at his eyes. He snatched them away from her and rolled his eyes, sighing dramatically; that’s more like the Klaus she knew.
“I can do it myself!” He blew his nose harshly into the tissues. The crying, ironically, seemed to have helped with the congestion quite a bit. Allison made a face when Klaus blew his nose.
“Yuck.”
“Love you too, sis.” Klaus flashed her a shitty little grin, tossing the used tissues to the side.
Allison ran her hands through Klaus’ hair again. It really was nasty, all matted and sticky.
“How bout I help you wash your hair after dinner, hmm?”
Klaus chuckled. “All of that, and this is the conclusion you come to?”

:OO WELCOME EVERYONE!!
okay okay, I know what you guys are thinking -- Jaime, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?! HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE SUB-BLOG GO PUBLIC?!?! WHAT HAPPENED TO *THAT* LIST... THE *YOU KNOW WHAT* LIST... 
and my response is... I don’t know what you’re talking about. I never had such a list. 
Tumblr media
okay, real talk though, I decided to let my sub-blog go public for multiple reasons: 
♡ no one wants to enter a password that I change constantly
♡ most of what I say I would love to share with my regular viewers who can’t afford to sub, and this is my main source of updating you guys on a more personal basis for those who follow me more on social media and not my stream
♡ I’m incorporating a lot more sub-only things into the community, so I figured I could let one go! 
we’ll see how it goes and if it does start to feel uncomfortable, we can always bring it back :) but there’s little to nothing that I can think of that would make this weird because I don’t overshare that much... I think... HAHA we’ll see
ANYWAYS, REALLY GOOD NEWS! for the past few months I’ve had a little team of subs working on our community Minecraft server! (SO MUCH THANKS TO GOLDEYE, WATTEHMS, MATTY, MAXWELL, BRADLEY, JOSTER <3) I’ll try to log on everyday and just have a habit of keeping it online. I think it’d be cute to be able to log onto something and see everyone in the same world! 
if you’re a sub, please fill out the form that I linked in the discord! it’s also the same form you use to join the gummie gang stream team, and also for me to know what your discord usernames are (a lot of times when you guys message me, your discord username is different from your twitch and I have no idea LOL) there’s also a little response section where you can give me any suggestions you want! (stream ideas, sub emotes, etc) ~ HAVE FUN! 
AND EVEENNNN MORE GOOD NEWS!!!  
Tumblr media
WE’LL BE ON FRONT PAGE OF TWITCH THIS THURSDAY!! WEEE!! 
I’ll probably be doing a sit-down cooking stream into a mukbang :) TIME IS TO BE ANNOUNCED BUT IT SHOULD BE AROUND THE TIME FRAME OF 12PM - 2PM OR 2PM - 4PM! I’ll let you guys know as soon as possible on discord. I’ll also be streaming tomorrow/Tuesday and Wednesday so I’ll let you guys know on stream too! 
OK THAT’S IT FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS!~ here are my own personal lil updates
BENJI HAS GROWN SOOO MUCH! okay not gonna lie, he was kinda dying for a bit during the winter, I don’t think he really did well in the cold... his leaves would fall off sometimes and yellow at the ends. I was getting really scared and to be honest I’m so attached to this god damn plant that it was taking a sad mental toll on me. LMFAO. WHY AM I LIKE THIS. anyway, I gave him some fertilizer and stayed consistent with him, watered him whenever I needed to and tried to keep him in warm yet sunny areas of my house. and YAY, SPRING ROLLS AROUND AND HE’S GROWN BIGGER THAN I HAVE EVER SEEN HIM GROW!!! 
Tumblr media
before (when I first got him) and now! I’m so proud... only I can write a paragraph raving about my pet plant... jeez it’ll be crazy once I get an actual cat or something... 
there was a really busy week in march where I spent all my leftover time planning Aria’s birthday. it was honestly the cutest thing ever seeing all her friends get together and work on stuff for her. I remember being insanely tired during it but once I saw her reaction for her surprise party, my heart melted and I just told myself wow that was soooo worth it LOL. here’s some pictures from my end <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
we got these GIANT balloons that spelled out ARIA and it took forever to get into the car and out LMAO... excuse my janky no makeup face but it was so funny seeing us struggle so hard with the balloons T_T LOL
we spent hours late at night working on her scrapbook and baking stuff for her. I was working on strawberry cheesecake shoots and I remember cutting 10+ strawberries and thinking, “wow, it would suck if I dropped these,” and then guess what happened... 
Tumblr media
I dropped them lmao 
anyways it turned out so wholesome and cute <3 
Tumblr media
I found the airbnb on this website called peerspace and when I saw it, it SCREAMED ARIA...
Tumblr media
you’re welcome for me blessing your eyes
Tumblr media
we seriously worked our *aesthetic* muscle for this because we knew aria would appreciate the heck out of it 
OKAY ANYWAYS MOVING ON!! yesterday I went to h-mart and got a shit ton of groceries. and I realized it’s STRAWBERRY SEASON!!! there’s still a lot of stuff that I want to buy that isn’t available here though, so my mom tries to send me all that she can :D 
Tumblr media
I love her so much I miss her so much wahhh I can’t even talk about my parents because I’ll just start crying because I miss them so much ... ok also I was supposed to stream yesterday but I took a nap... and... didn’t... haha... jaimewhatswrongwithyou.exe.... here’s a post-nap selfie though... 
Tumblr media
I looked heckin janky but snow saved my ass 
ANYWAY I spent the rest of the night just reading and I finished my monthly book read! here are my two recommendations for you guys :) 
Tumblr media
I absolutely love love love this book! it will really help if you’re an overthinker like me. tl;dr, it talks about the inside voice in your head that constantly battles with itself and refers to it as an “annoying roommate.” with consistent reading (a chapter or two before sleeping at night) it really helped me clear my mind and become super aware of how the voice in my head could be more harmful than helfpul. if you’re new to reading it is quite a bit to read though so if you want something easier then I suggest this: 
Tumblr media
gosh, my life became so simple when I read this book consistently. it basically shares four simple agreements that you should always be conscious of in life. this book just really helped me not take things as personally, to not make assumptions, and it just gave me a much more simple and clear perspective on things and issues. SUPER SUPER EASY TO READ!!! downfall is, it kinda talks about religion a lot at the end, which might make it uncomfortable for some of you guys. I couldn’t really enjoy the last bits of it that much because of that sole reason but it’s still a great read and taught me lots of fundamentals I never knew I needed for my own mindset :) 
I went to LCS the day before yesterday and it was really fun because I brought a portable cut-out of scarra LMAOOOOOO the thread is really funny so you guys should go read it: https://twitter.com/iGumdrop/status/1114687260434124801
I also did my taxes yesterday (well I finished up what was left of it) during the games LOL and then I went to annie’s place afterwards because her mom is an accountant and she helped me file them. I’m soooo happy I got them over with because I feel so free now! 
Tumblr media
hm ok ending these are always hard because it always seem so abrupt, mainly because even my 200 WPM fingers get tired of typing. I guess all I have to say is, hello new readers of my sub-blog, I hope you enjoy your time here! and thank you so much to everybody who supports me. it really means the world to me and I never go one day without insanely appreciating you guys. this month I’ma hit you guys with that dudududuududud GOOD CONTENT! <3
and alas, a few of my favorite cute lil drawings this month from chibird~ 
Tumblr media
(+ my community) 
Tumblr media
WELL, FAREWELL FRIENDS! TILL NEXT TIME <3

Relationship: Tim Drake x Reader
Warnings: Death, Cursing?
Word Count: 3090
~~~
(Y/N)’s POV
“I mean boy wonder’s not that bad looking” Lexa said as we walked through the mall, I rolled my eyes
“Can you stop fan-girling for once” I say,
“Oh come on (Y/N), you’ve got to admit it” She whined,
“I’m not admitting anything” I say before there was a commotion from the level below causing me to look over to see that a large sign was collapsing on to an area that was full of young children and no one had noticed, I sighed, running down and clearing the area that the sign was going to land then appearing next to Lexa before she noticed my disappearance,
“Did you see that?!” She yelled,
“See what?” I asked as the sign landed on the floor,
“There was a blue streak!” She yelled shaking me by the shoulders, I chuckled at her reaction
“Another speedster hero?” I questioned raising an eyebrow, she nodded before showing her phone,
“I caught a photo of it! I’m so starting a blog about this” She gushed as we made our way out of the mall, I shook my head as we made our way towards her car, “What should I call them?” She asked as she walked out into the road,
“Lexa!” I yelled as a car came at speed towards her, she looked up and let out a scream before I ran at her, picking her up and getting her to the other side, next to her car,
“I-You-But-” She stuttered trying to find the words to comprehend what just happened, I took her car keys and got into the driver’s seat, she got into the passenger seat, so I set off, we arrived at my house and I lead her in before sitting her down,
“Okay, shoot away” I say,
“You’re a speedster! And you didn’t tell me?! Oh my god! This is so cool!” She yelled, I raised an eyebrow
“You’re not mad?” I asked, she laughed
“Of course not! Wait do you have a costume?” She questioned, I shook my head making her squeal before she began rambling as she went on her phone,
“Hey! You can’t tell anyone about this” I say as I removed her phone from her hands,
“Give me that back!” She said reaching for it,
“Lexa, promise me you won’t say anything” I say,
“Why would I tell anyone? (Y/N), you’re my best friend and I’m also going to be your little hero helper” She smiled,
“Hero helper?” I asked, she nodded snatching her phone back.
“Yep! From this day forth you’re the ‘Blue Notion’!” She announced as she showed me her blog, I chuckled shaking my head at her, “I also ordered some materials for your suit, it should be here tomorrow. Now for a hide-out lair” She said looking around,
“You mean like this?” I asked as I moved a hidden panel under the stairs leading down to the basement, she went down
“Perfect!” She yelled making me laugh as she came up and hugged me, “We’re going to be a dynamic duo” She laughed.
***
“Hey Blue! What’s the situation?” Lexa asked through the com,
“Bank fire. Looks like Heatwave and Captain Cold are up to their usual” I replied,
“Put it out. Also try get them to cross streams” Lexa said,
“Understood” I say before running to the fire and moving my arms in circular movements, putting the flames out then appearing in front of the two thieves, “Honestly boys, do you ever learn?” I asked folding my arms,
“Well, if it isn’t little blue” Snart said,
“Aw you’ve come up with a nickname for me, how sweet” I teased,
“Rory, light her up” Snart ordered,
“Thought you’d never ask” He chuckled shooting his flames at me, I avoided them before noticing a group of kids watching in amazement, in the path of Heatwave’s flames, I ran in front of them getting hit with the flames and protecting them.
“Go” I ordered the kids as I fell to my knees,
“Blue, are you okay?!” Lexa yelled,
“Yeah, just a burn” I groaned before I was kicked on to my back, I looked up to be met with the barrel of Snart’s cold gun,
“Do you ever learn?” He mocked before a can was thrown at his head,
“Leave her alone!” A kid yelled, I looked over to see the group of kids with various items in their hands, Snart began laughing at them
“How cute. Do you like the cold?” He chuckled as he aimed the cold gun at them, I hit him behind the knee bringing him down then holding him in a headlock causing him to go unconscious, I quickly picked up his cold gun and shot at the ground in front Rory causing him to slip on to his back and drop the cash and his heat gun, I picked them up and kicked him in the face as the police arrived.
“Here’s the stolen money, and their weapons, Captain” I say as I handed him them, he nodded before I made my way towards the kids, I crouched down to them “It was pretty reckless what you did today” I say, they all lowered their heads, “But, I’m glad you got involved, your recklessness saved me” I say, they all looked at each other smiling, “However that doesn’t mean you can do it again. So, promise me you’ll all stay safe, yeah?” I say, they all nodded
“I promise” They all said in unison, I smiled
“Now, high-five” I smiled at I held my hand up, they all high-fived me and I stood up, “Stay out of trouble” I smiled before running home, I got in and was immediately met by Lexa checking my suit,
“I’m so glad I made it heat resistance” She said making me chuckle.
***
“Hey everyone!” Wally yelled as he, Barry and I entered through the zeta tube,
“Kid! This your girlfriend?” Nightwing asked, I cringed
“No, this is Blue Notion” Barry introduced, I gave a small wave
“Oh, I’m-”
“Nightwing. Then we’ve also got Beast-boy, Robin, Superboy, Miss Martian, and Artemis” I say as I went around the room,
“Okay…” Nightwing trailed off as my com began to ring,
“Hello?” I answered,
“Ah Blue Notion, I’ve got your friend here” They replied,
“Blue don’t!” Lexa yelled in the background before yelping,
“You’re dead” I growled, they chuckled
“I won’t be but your friend’s gonna be if you don’t turn up in 5 minutes on top of STAR labs. And make sure you’re alone” They demanded and hung up.
“Who was that?” Wally asked,
“Some asshole who’s got Base on top of STAR labs” I replied,
“Base?” Robin questioned,
“Yes, she’s my helper and also my best friend. So, if you’d excuse me” I snapped,
“Blue-!” Barry yelled after me as I ran through the Zeta tube and to the top of STAR labs,
“Well, she must really care about you” The masked male said as he threw Lexa to his feet,
“Blue…” She trailed off,
“Don’t worry. Who are you?” I asked,
“You’ll find out soon. Bye-bye sweet cheeks” He said as he fired a bullet,
“No!” I screamed as I ran towards them, only being too slow and the bullet going into her head, I froze as I stared at Lexa’s lifeless body, the criminal burst out laughing gaining my attention,
“I guess you’re not that fast” He mocked,
“You wanna see how fast your head goes up your ass?” I growled before I ran at him, knocking the gun from his hand and slamming his face into the roof, repetitively
“Blue! Blue! That’s enough!” Barry’s voice yelled from behind me, I slammed his face into the roof one last time, extra hard before going to Lexa’s body
“I’m sorry” I whispered as I cradled her body.
***
Wally, Tim, Garfield and Dick entered the room,
“Hey guys” I say as they approached me,
“Hi (Y/N)” Tim smiled, Dick went to say something but was cut off by the alarms and the building going into lock down,
“Unknown activity. Lock down initiated” The system said before a young male came out in a suit
“I’m here!” He announced,
“Unknown impulse” the system said,
“Impulse? I like it” He said before zipping around the place, I rolled my eyes
“Another speedster?” I groaned as I looked towards the boys,
“Stop him” Dick ordered the boys, I rolled my eyes as ‘Impulse’ avoided their attacks, even Dick’s attempt, I sighed before running at him and pinning him up to the wall by his throat.
“Oh my-! That’s so crash! You’re her! Blue Notion!” He squealed, I raised an eyebrow at him before Dick put him in restraints,
“I don’t go by that name kid” I say as I folded my arms,
“Ah, so this is what you meant. Don’t worry you become her again” He said,
“If you knew me from the future then surely, I would’ve told you not to tell anyone when you go into the past anything from the future” I scolded, he lowered his head
“You did” He sighed, I sighed as Dick came in with a glass of water
 “Coming from the future must have been thirsty work” He said, as he gave ‘Impulse’ a drink of water,
“Oh yeah because you’ll need a saliva sample” He said spiting into the water, “Such as Dick Grayson thing to do” He said causing us all to look at each other.
“How did you-?”
“Know? Like I said I’m from the future. Dick Grayson. Wally West. Tim Drake. Garfield Logan. (Y/N) Dr-(L/N)” He corrected himself, I raised an eyebrow
“And who are you?” Tim questioned,
“Bart Allen. Barry Allen’s grandson. Can’t you tell by the good looks I inherited and the speed” he bragged, I rolled my eyes
“Bart’s short for Bartholomew, correct?” I asked, he nodded “That’s good to know. I’m going to alert Barry and Iris of this situation” I say,
“What?!” Wally exclaimed,
“Don’t be so surprised. I’m sure they’ll be ecstatic to meet their grandson from the future” I say as I left the room.
***
“It’s going to take all three of us to stop it” Barry said to Bart and Wally through the com as they were reversing the Chrisylis,
“Or just one of us” I muttered as I glanced at my Blue Notion suit, Wally let out a yell of pain making my eyes widened as I quickly put my suit on and ran through the Zeta-tube, to the Chrisylis, I grabbed Wally and placed him on the ground before joining Bart and Barry in running,
“Blue?!” Barry exclaimed, I saluted at them both and increased my speed, but I slowed down when the two of them where getting hit by the Chrisylis, “Blue, don’t even dare do what you’re thinking of” Barry warned,
“Sorry Flash” I smiled before I grabbed the two of them and placed them next to Wally and continued to run.
Tim’s POV
We arrived at the Chrisylis to find Barry, Wally and Bart on the ground as a blue streak whipped around it,
“What’s going on?” Dick asked as we approached the three speedsters,
“Blue exchanged places with me” Wally answered causing my eyes to widened,
“Then why are you two here?” I questioned,
“Blue’s faster than us all combined so Impulse and myself were being hit by the Chrisylis so she’s replaced us all” Barry explained,
“She’s going to kill herself” Jaime said gaining everyone’s attention,
“What do you mean by that?” Artemis asked,
“He means that she’ll have to run herself out of existence in order to stop the Chrisylis” Barry explained,
“(Y/N) No!” I yelled as I ran towards the Chrisylis,
“Robin stop!” Dick called after me as I was grabbed by Wally,
“I’m sorry Tim” (Y/N) said through the com making my eyes widened,
“Wait, there’s two” Bart announced,
“She’s created a time remnant” Barry said,
“We deserve happiness” (Y/N) said before one of the blue streaks flew out of the Chrisylis.
(Y/N)’s POV
I groaned as I rolled across the ground, I looked back up to the Chrisylis only to find it had disappeared along with the other me,
“Blue!” I heard everyone calling out, I forced myself to my feet and walked towards them, Bart noticed me first as he ran over to me tackling me with a hug,
“When I said you’d be her again, I didn’t mean you’d become her just to kill yourself” He said as he pulled away, revealing the tears in his eyes, I smiled at him and wiped a tear that had fallen,
“I thought you didn’t cry” I teased, gaining a small shove before Barry and Wally tackled me with a hug,
“First day back on the job and you save the world” Barry said,
“Go big or go home” I chuckled as they pulled away,
“Don’t save me again” Wally scolded, I pouted
“You think Artemis would have let me live if I hadn’t?” I questioned, he laughed wrapping an arm around my shoulders as we made our way to the group, I was tackled by the girls with a hug,
“Thank you” Artemis whispered making me smile as they pulled away, the Justice League members landed
“Blue Notion” Superman said, I sighed as I walked over to him, “What you did was reckless” He said,
“You say that like I didn’t know already. I saved the world so what? Yeah, I almost died in the process but it’s in the job description” I snap folding my arms, he sighed shaking his head “Go on, say it. I dare you” I growled,
“Blue back down. This isn’t a fight you can win” Wally warned,
“Well…” Bart trailed off causing me to smirk,
“Blue, fight another day, yeah?” Tim said causing me to turn to him
“Fine” I sighed making him smile as he motioned me to follow him, I raised an eyebrow but did so, he lead me inside the air-craft that he and the other Young Justice members arrived in,
“How are you feeling?” He asked as he removed his mask,
“Brilliant” I say removing my own mask, he raised an eyebrow and folded his arms,
“Honestly” He said, I scoffed
“Honestly, I’m terrified. I almost died” I admitted,
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked, I shook my head
“Not yet, at least” I answered, he gave a small smile “How are you?” I questioned, confusion covered his face, “I heard the panic in your voice when you yelled my name” I commented, he sighed dropping his head,
“I was scared of losing you” He confessed, my eyes widened “Why?” I muttered, “Why? Because you’re a beautiful, intelligent and selfless girl, (Y/N). You may have been affected by Lexa’s death, but you wasted no time in saving Wally, Bart and Barry” He replied looking at me, I tackled him with a hug which stunned him
“Thank you” I whispered, he returned the hug
“Anytime” He smiled as we broke apart.
***
“Hey (Y/N), Tim” Bart smiled as he entered the main room of Headquarters, I sat up properly and gave him a small wave,
“What’s up Bart?” I questioned,
“W-what? N-nothing” He stuttered, I raised an eyebrow as I stood up to face him,
“You’re a terrible liar” I commented, he sighed
“Man, Dick’s going to kill me. The guy that killed Lexa broke out” He said,
“(Y/N)…” Tim trailed off as he stood up,
“Where is he?” I growled,
“Dick, Wally and Artemis have gone to get him before you found out” Bart answered, I zipped into my suit and placed my mask on,
“How long ago?” I questioned,
“About 13 hours” He answered,
“Not even that much of advance would help them” I smirked,
“(Y/N) don’t kill him” Tim begged, I sighed
“I’ll try not to” I smiled, he folded his arms and raised an eyebrow “Fine, but you said nothing about a coma. Love you” I say as I gave him a quick kiss and then ran through the zeta tube to find Dick, Wally and Artemis, I found them, and they were cuffing the b*stard, I zoomed past them grabbing him and running to the top of STAR labs, “You have some balls breaking out on the anniversary of her death” I growled as I threw him across the roof, he chuckled as he stood up,
“What can I say? I like to relive my kills. I think it was this spot, ah yes…her blood’s still here” He taunted,
“You’re playing a very dangerous game” I warned, he scoffed
“Sure I am sweetheart” He chuckled,
“Just don’t kill him. I might have to break that promise Tim” I muttered as I stalked him,
“Stalking your prey? I like it” He smirked, I stopped in front of him and phased my hand into his chest where his heart was located,
“I could easily kill you. You took my best friend away from me so why shouldn’t I take your life” I questioned as I tilted my head at his feared expression.
“Because you’re better than him, Blue” Tim’s voice said from behind me causing me to gasp and face him, seeing that he, Bart and Wally were stood there in their suits,
“Killing him won’t bring Lexa back” Wally said,
“You think I don’t know that?!” I snapped, the criminal chuckled
“So which one’s your boyfriend?” He questioned making me glare at him,
“You’re in not situation to talk so shut it” I growled, he held his cuffed hands up in defence backing away from me to the edge of the rooftop, I rolled my eyes and appeared behind him and hitting him unconscious, “You’re going to rot for the rest of your life” I growled,
“I’m proud of you Blue Notion” Dick said, I scoffed walking past them all,
“Oh!” I say stopping momentarily and facing them “You should really remove the pistol in the back of his jeans, the knives in his socks and the hatchet in his jacket pocket” I say before continuing on my way, footsteps approached me, and Tim appeared next to me wearing a small smile,
“You could’ve let him fall off, you know” he said,
“I was never going to kill him, he deserves to live with what he’s done” I say, his smile widened as we approached the zeta tube,
“One of the many reasons I love you” He said pulling me into a kiss, I chuckled before returning it.

And that’s the episode.
Well!  Now Amity’s got something to ask Willow about, doesn’t she.  She’d already seen Willow’s power before--back when she unleashed green hell all over the school--but she may not have properly processed that, and she DEFINITELY wasn’t expecting a mere human to be able to take part in a magic ritual like that, even if she was able to draw little fiddly spells on paper.  I wonder what’s going to come of that; it’s got to be burning her up inside, and I REALLY want to see that confrontation.
That’ll be it for tonight, sorry.  I’m sick and tired and anxious and I just want to relax and go to bed now that I know I’ll at least have my rent paid.  I’ve got an appointment with my doctor on the fourth; during that I’m going to ask them to set me up with a therapist to help me work through my blogging-related anxiety.  I’m also going to try to do short liveblogs in the early afternoon a couple times per week, see if taking it in more bite-sized chunks will help me work through the backlog more easily.

The Right Jason (Far Cry 3 - Vaas x Jason)
Summary:  One night in a not particularly impressive bar one of Jason's friends picks a fight. For once, Jason will be glad that he did. A happier AU for Branded, in which Vaas and Jason meet in happier circumstances.
AN: My god. Do you know how long it’s been since I wrote/posted something Far Cry 3 related? Longer than I’ve had this blog at any rate. I’m posting this on AO3 though so I figured I’d put it here as well.
This is vaguely connected to a longer soulmate AU I wrote a while back, which is available here if you’re curious (warnings for gore, drug use, attempted non-con, character death and pretty much every bad fic thing you can imagine) but this little one-shot is well... an AU of an AU really, and can be read independently to the main fic.
As always, the full story is under the cut. Warnings apply for drug use, language and mild violence.
THE RIGHT JASON
Jason wished that his younger brother Riley and his friend Keith would stop smiling at one another. It was a horrible thought to have, but ever since they’d returned from their vacation the two of them had been so openly affectionate that it was sickening. He wasn’t sure what had happened between the two of them, but they’d gone from yelling at one another to proudly announcing to the rest of the group that they were soulmates literally overnight.
They were supposed to be having drinks together, but what that apparently involved now was Keith and Riley curled up in one corner together, and Jason’s older brother Grant and his soulmate Daisy in another corner. Ollie and Vincent had snuck off earlier in the night, a packet of something that was probably illegal being shuffled between them as they went, and Liza was apparently on a date with a guy who’s name was also Jason, which wasn’t weird at all.
It left Jason feeling completely alone, which was bullshit. He wasn’t so blind to his own emotions that he didn’t recognize the pit of anger in his stomach as the jealousy it was, but it still wasn’t fair.
He glanced at his still-covered wrist, as though it was solely responsible for his terrible mood. He was the only one among his friends who still had a black soulbrand, and if that had been it then maybe he could have quieted the surges of jealousy and loneliness that kept gripping him, but he still had no idea what gender or nationality his soulmate was supposed to be. For all he knew Vaas was stuck on the other side of the world, just as lonely and miserable as he was, and wondering when the fuck Jason was finally going to show up.
It was bullshit, no matter how he looked at it, and as Jason ordered another drink and tried to block out the sound of Daisy and Grant laughing, he wondered how drunk he would have to be before it stopped hurting.
There was the sound of someone shouting, and the music was loud, but not so loud that Jason couldn’t recognize the sound of his friend Keith’s voice. He’d heard him yelling often enough.
Fuck. Not another fight. He’d hoped that Keith’s relationship with Riley might have calmed the other man down a little bit, but apparently not.
He turned around on the bar stool knowing that he might need to intervene at any moment. It wouldn’t be the first time, and probably not the last either. He knew Keith’s temper all too well.
“Listen; whatever the fuck you want, you’re not getting it from Riley, you asshole!” Keith was screaming.
The object of his anger seemed to be a Hispanic guy with a short mohawk and more jewelry adorning his face and arms than all the members of Jason’s group put together. He looked dangerous, and he had broad shoulders and muscled arms to boot. Jason wondered if Keith had bit off more than he could chew with this one.
“It’s okay,” Riley said, gently tugging on Keith’s arm. “He wasn’t…”
“It’s not okay!” Keith shouted at Riley. “Nobody bugs you when I’m around. Nobody!”
Keith scowled, but if he was trying to intimidate his opponent then it wasn’t working. The guy with the mohawk just laughed.
“Ooh…” Mohawk Guy waved his hands in the air, mocking Keith. “Tough guy’s gotta prove he’s a man in front of his little boyfriend. That it?”
Jason sighed, and got up from his bar stool, knowing that after a taunt like that it was no longer a question of ‘if’ so much as ‘when’ this would turn physical.
Keith sputtered for a moment, and then, with a loud cry of “fuck you” that he managed to shout at the exact time the music was at its lowest, he threw a punch.
Mohawk Guy was quick though, and managed to side-step the swing, laughing at Keith’s unsuccessful attempt to hurt him. Jason cursed as a guy and his overly tanned and completely wasted girlfriend stumbled into his way. He shoved between the two of them and hurried towards Keith, Riley and their new acquaintance. He was too late to stop it breaking out into violence, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t stop it from getting worse.
Mohawk Guy had yet to take a swing, but the fact that his opponent had dodged Keith’s first punch had just managed to piss Keith off even more than he had been before. Jason could see his friend’s fist clenching, could see the punch he was planning to throw at the other guy’s face, and charged towards Keith, grabbing his arm and hoping he would be able to stop Keith from launching another attack.
Keith whirled around straight away, and before he had even registered who was holding onto his arm, his free hand formed into a fist which he slammed right into Jason’s face.
“Oh fuck!” Jason screamed, immediately letting go of Keith’s arms so that he could bring both hands up to cup his face.
He’d felt part of his nose collapse as Keith’s fist had connected with it, and sure enough he felt a small torrent of warm blood emerging from his nose and trickling over his fingers.
“Fuck,” he repeated, the words much more muffled thanks to his hands and the blood streaming down his face.
“Oh shit,” he heard Keith say. The beginnings of an apology started to emerge from Keith’s mouth, but he was quickly interrupted as Mohawk Guy finally retaliated, his fist connecting with Keith’s cheek with enough force that Keith went flying to the floor.
Keith brought his hand up to his jaw, obviously feeling the punch.
“I wouldn’t get up if I was you hermano,” Mohawk Guy warned Keith. Jason hoped that his friend would listen, but knew by the scowl on Keith’s face that the fight wasn’t over yet.
Mohawk Guy moved to kick Keith, but Keith grabbed the other man’s cargo pants, making him fall to the floor alongside him. The two of them began throwing punches and kicks, while Jason rolled his eyes and hoped he wasn’t getting too much blood on his shirt.
“Come on guys!” Riley called out uselessly from not too far away. “Stop already!”
Keith and Mohawk Guy weren’t listening though, both of them far too focused on trying to beat the other into submission. Eventually Keith managed to throw the other man off him and Jason looked over at Riley, seeing a chance for the two of them to end the fight. He nodded at Riley and then Keith, hoping his younger brother would get the message. Jason moved to grab hold of the stranger, while Riley, having completely understood Jason, had moved to grab Keith.
Keith struggled a little, but was then perfectly still as Riley’s arms wrapped around his shoulders.
“Enough!” Riley demanded.
Jason’s charge however was being less co-operative.
“Fucking pretty-boy,” Mohawk Guy grumbled. “Let me go you stupid fuck.”
“For fuck’s sake,” Jason grumbled. “It’s over. You both lost. No-one is impressed.”
Mohawk Guy tried to shrug off Jason’s arms, but Jason had no intention of letting go until he was absolutely sure that the stranger and Keith weren’t going to try to kill each other as soon as they were released.
The fight had gathered a small audience, which now parted to let through a large man in the cheapest looking suit Jason had ever seen.
“Oh, so now you show up,” Jason muttered. He would have been a lot happier to see the club’s security a few minutes earlier.
“You four,” the bouncer growled, pointing at Keith, Riley, Jason and their new friend. “Out, and don’t try anything cute.”
Jason thought he heard Mohawk Guy mutter something under his breath as they both got to his feet. He didn’t hear all of it, but he was still absolutely sure the security guard wouldn’t have liked it.
Keith was being a little less subtle with his cursing, but considering what a mess he was currently in, it might have been understandable. He was leaning on Riley as he walked, and as cruel as it might have been, Jason couldn’t help but feel like Keith deserved it. He would get no pity from Jason, considering what he’d put Riley through. Not to mention how sore Jason’s face still was. At least his nose had stopped bleeding.
The bouncer escorted them through the club, but as soon as they were outside he strolled back to his post just by the door. It wasn’t as though there was anyone trying to get in at this hour of the night, which meant that there was nothing for the bouncer to do but glare at the four of them. Jason came to the conclusion that he hated the guy.
It felt weirdly quiet and empty outside after the loud thumping of the music, the sweat, and the smell of sex and alcohol that had been inside the club.
“I’m gonna take Keith home,” Riley told Jason.
“Bullshit you are,” Keith muttered, although he was still having to lean on Riley as he walked.
“Shut up!” Riley snapped, with an uncharacteristic amount of authority, and Keith was cowed into silence.
Beside Jason, Mohawk Guy let out a chuckle.
“Talk to you tomorrow,” Jason told his younger brother.
“Yeah,” Riley replied. “Sorry about… well…”
He shrugged, indicating his only half-conscious soulmate. Jason waved away Riley’s worries, and leaned back against the cool brick wall of the club, watching as his younger brother and Keith stumbled towards Keith’s car.
Jason found himself sharing the stretch of wall with Keith’s opponent. Mohawk Guy pulled out a cigarette and lit it, while the bouncer eyed them warily from his post by the door. Jason watched as the actually rather nicely built man took a long slow draw from the cigarette, his lips caressing the paper and dried leaves like it was the most amazing thing he had ever tasted.
Now that he was closer Jason could make out the large scar that ran down one side of the other man’s head. He wondered how the other man had gotten it, and whether incidents like the one with Keith weren’t all that uncommon in the other man’s life. There were dark rings beneath his eyes, which were dark as well, and Jason couldn’t help but feel that his earlier assessment of the other man as dangerous had been right.
The other man must have felt Jason’s eyes on him, because he stopped, withdrew the cigarette from his mouth and offered it to Jason.
“Want some?” he asked when Jason didn’t immediately grab the cigarette.
Jason was surprised the other man was willing to be friendly after what had happened inside the club. Then again, from what little he knew of the situation, it seemed as though Keith had been the one looking for a fight. Maybe the stranger wasn’t so dangerous. Maybe just unlucky.
“No thanks,” Jason replied. “I don’t smoke.”
“This is not tobacco,” the other guy said, the sides of his mouth twitching up into a half-smile.
Jason sniffed the smoke that was coming from the cigarette, and realized the other man was telling the truth. It was marijuana, and a pretty strong blend if the smell was any indication.
It was tempting. Then again, accepting anything from a dangerous looking man that had been beating up one of his friends a few minutes ago probably wouldn’t be one of the smartest things he’d ever done. What the hell though, right? It wasn’t as though he hadn’t smoked marijuana before, and his nose was still pretty sore.
He accepted the joint with a quiet mutter of thanks, took a deep breath and the handed it back to his new friend. Jason’s phone vibrated in his pocket, his message tone chimed loudly, and he groaned as he retrieved it from the recesses of his jeans pocket.
It was Grant, wanting to know what had happened and where the hell he and Riley had gone.
“I suppose I should reply to this,” Jason though aloud, typing a reply and wondering if his new friend would mind him stealing another few puffs.
“Your friends?” Mohawk Guy asked.
Jason nodded, not sure if he could be bothered explaining that no, actually, it was his brother, because that was too much fucking effort.
“Well, if they’re anything like that asshole I beat up then I’m afraid your friends aren’t worth shit, hermano.”
Jason chuckled, hit send once he’d finished typing a quick reply, and then gestured for the man to pass him the joint again. Mohawk Guy handed it over and watched, perhaps a little too closely, as Jason took another deep breath of the weed.
Jason realized then that by sharing the joint he was indirectly kissing the other man, and quickly suppressed that thought before his mind ran away with him.
“Keith’s the worst,” Jason said as he handed the joint back to its owner. “The others aren’t so bad. What was all that fighting about anyway?”
“Probably fucking nothing. Thought I heard the younger guy, his soulmate or whatever, say something is all. Apparently the stupid fuck doesn’t like people talking to his boyfriend, like he’s his private, personal property or some sort of bullshit. I’m telling you hermano, that shit ain’t healthy.”
The joint was almost finished, and Jason’s new friend took one last deep breath from it before dropping it on the ground and stomping out the ashes with the heel of one of his big, black boots. A little way away the security guard glanced down at the stub, one eyebrow rising as though he actually expected one of them to dispose of the stub in a more appropriate fashion. Jason’s new friend just raised an eyebrow in reply. The security guard frowned, but apparently cigarette stubs in the carpark weren’t as important as keeping his post, so he stayed where he was, arms folded and a frown directed at the two men.
“What did Riley say?” Jason asked, now curious. “Or, what did you think he said?”
“It’s probably nothing,” Jason’s friend replied with a shrug. “Just looking for someone and thought that guy said his name.”
“What name?”
“Jason. Like I said hermano, it’s probably fucking nothing, right? There are so many fucking Jasons in California. Kinda pisses me off sometimes.”
Jason froze as the other man stomped on the joint a couple more times as though it were somehow responsible for all of the man’s problems.
“Well, you probably heard right,” Jason told him. “My name’s Jason. That guy you were talking to is my brother.”
The other man stopped mid-stomp and looked over at Jason as though he’d just performed a miracle.
“Probably not the Jason you’re looking for, right?” Jason asked.
“I don’t know,” the other man said, relaxing a little. “You might be. Why the fuck not, right? Got as good a chance of it being you as anyone else.”
Might be? This guy didn’t know? What, was his soulmate’s name Jason or something? A quick glance at the other man’s left wrist revealed that it was still covered with a wide leather bracelet. He probably hadn’t met his soulmate then. What if…?
Jason tried to ignore the thoughts that were swimming through his head. No way. There was no way he was the right Jason. That would make this guy Vaas; the person Jason had waited fucking forever to meet. There was no way he had just met his soulmate because of Keith getting into another fucking fight. That would be the stupidest fucking way to meet a soulmate ever.
The stranger was pretty hot in a terrifying way though, although Jason couldn’t be entirely sure that wasn’t just the pot talking. There was something about his eyes, so dark and dangerous, and those broad, well-muscled shoulders.
No. There was no point in getting worked up over a maybe. He’d fallen for that before, and it always hurt when ‘maybe’ inevitably turned into ‘no’.
“I’m Vaas,” the other man offered, as though the revelation was nothing, and didn’t make Jason’s heart skip a few beats and his entire world turn sideways.
Vaas looked at Jason as though he was worried about him, and Jason realized he hadn’t moved at all over the last few seconds. If they were a little more respectable then perhaps he would have offered Vaas his hand so that they could shake. They were not respectable though, and Jason could not think of a single thing to say to the other man, all thought having rapidly fled his brain as soon as Vaas had introduced himself.
“You okay hermano?” Vaas asked. “You’ve gone really fucking pale Jason. Even more fucking pale than you were before. Fucking white boy.”
“I’m the right Jason,” he told Vaas. “At least, I think I’m the right Jason.”
I hope I am, he added silently, as Vaas’s eyes roamed over Jason’s face as though he was waiting for the punchline; waiting for the moment when this all blew up in both their faces.
“You’re Vaas, right?” Jason tried. “V. A. A. S?”
Vaas nodded slowly.
He couldn’t hold it in anymore. He threw himself at the other man, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and pulling him close.
“I’ve been waiting for you my whole fucking life!” he cried out.
Vaas was still and silent for a moment, and Jason wondered if he’d fucked up somehow.
“Jason?” Vaas asked, his voice barely more than a whisper.
The other man already knew his name, but Jason knew that wasn’t what the question was really about. Was he Vaas’s Jason? Really? The one the other man had been waiting for what, to Jason at least, had felt like forever?
Jason nodded, knowing that even if Vaas couldn’t see him he would feel the movement of Jason’s head against his shoulder. Vaas’s hands flew up to wrap around Jason’s shoulders and pull him even closer. After a few moments Jason realized the other man was shaking slightly, although he couldn’t tell whether he was laughing or crying.
“Holy fuck,” Vaas muttered, chuckling at the end of it, and Jason realized that the shaking had most definitely been laughter. He was more than a little relieved, even if Vaas’s raw, scratchy laughter was incredibly infectious and already making the smile on his face widen. “Holy fuck hermano…”
Vaas then broke off into a long string of jumbled Spanish, none of which Jason caught, partially because it was broken up with both laughter and expletives.
“God, I am so fucking glad that Keith picked a fight with you,” Jason said, realizing he was getting closer to laughing along with Vaas with every word that he said.
Vaas smothered his laughter in Jason’s shoulder and eventually managed to speak again.
“Remind me to thank him, yeah?”
Jason chuckled and pulled back from the hug to look at his soulmate… well, probably, almost definitely soulmate… a little better, taking in his features properly this time and realizing just how fucking good-looking his soulmate really was.
Jason knew that they should really check their soulbrands and make sure this wasn’t a false alarm, but what were the odds of him finding another Vaas looking for a guy named Jason? It could wait.
“Ah shit, you’ve gotten blood all over my fucking clothing,” Vaas grumbled, but he didn’t really sound upset, and the smile certainly hadn’t disappeared from his face.
“Ah shit. Sorry,” Jason said, although he was still smiling as well. “Well, at least your shirt’s red, so it’s not too obvious, right?”
“Yeah, I totally fucking planned that Jason,” Vaas muttered. “As I’m getting dressed I’m thinking, ‘I’m gonna wear red, so that when my soulmate bleeds all over me tonight, it isn’t gonna show too bad’.”
Jason chuckled. Vaas grinned over at him, and the other man’s grin did all sorts of interesting things to Jason’s heart and cock. He wondered whether he should invite Vaas back to his apartment, or whether it would be better to take things a little slower.
“Vaas?” Jason said, relishing the sound of the name on his tongue. He’d always wondered exactly how his soulmate’s name would be pronounced when he did finally find them. It turned out ‘Vaas’ was pronounced exactly like Jason had always pronounced inside the privacy of his own mind.
“Yeah Jason?” Vaas replied.
Jason grabbed both of Vaas’s hands in his own and played with them, entwining their fingers and running his thumbs over the back of Vaas’s palms. The other man’s eyes went wide as they fixated on their entwined hands.
“Do you have a car around here somewhere?”
He wasn’t sure that he wanted to take the other man home just yet, but if they were going to get any further than simple touches then Jason didn’t want it to be in front of the bouncer, who was still glaring at them from his perch by the door.
“Nooo,” Vaas replied, drawing the word out slowly. “Can’t fucking drink and drive hermano. That’s real fucking bad for you, you know?”
Jason couldn’t help but grin. They had met because of a bar fight and had shared a joint within minutes of meeting, but his soulmate was lecturing him about driving under the influence. Vaas was already one of the most interesting people Jason had met.
“We can catch a cab?” Jason suggested, as Vaas rubbed his own thumbs over the skin on Jason’s hands. They were rough, but the touch was surprisingly gentle.
“Okay Jason,” Vaas replied, “but where did you wanna go?”
The movement of both of their hands stilled.
“I don’t know,” Jason replied, suddenly aware of the fact that they seemed to be drifting slowly closer towards one another. “Anywhere I guess.”
They had their first kiss then, right in front of the cheap bar where they’d both been injured, with the bar’s bouncer rolling his eyes at them from his perch by the door. It was a slow, soft kiss, and they both tasted like alcohol and weed and Jason’s blood.
Later, they would both look back on that night and agree that it was one of the best nights of their lives and the beginning of something truly wonderful.

I watched Joe’s live stream so you don’t have to (play by play reactions)
- announcement is a 24 hour livestream on ThatcherJoeVlogs on Friday starting at 6:00pm UK time (1:00pm EST) ft guests and Joe signing a lot of Username:Uprising
- I wish I had friends I could have a sleepover with and watch the livestream dude that would be so fun
- throwback to #1Dday I couldn’t even last seven hours with One Direction how the hell am I gonna do 24 hours with YouTubers
- just kidding I’m about to be dedicated as fuck
- Jack and Joe from 12:00-3:00 am
- #unpopularopinion I like Joe’s mustache
- my poor baby and his infected gums he was so ill he almost passed out whenever he ate cuz the pain as so bad fuck I want to hug him
- Joe speaking foreign languages is my aesthetic (and it reminds me that I really need to brush up on my spanish)
- “I’m trying to set up other things for the future cuz, you know, you never know how long this whole YouTube thing is gonna last before I’m back on the ol’ roof”
- “it’s getting to the point where I really do want a girlfriend”
- well I’ve always been at the point where I want to be your girlfriend so I don’t understand why this is such a predicament for you when I’m always available so quit complaining and hit me up
- no but really I want him to be happy and I think he would be so happy in a relationship so he’s just gotta get someone awesome
- (like I wasn’t mad when Caspar got with Maddie cuz she’s great so Joe needs someone great)
- main channel might become a lower priority in the future
- “And I’ll see you in the future with a Sugg Sunday Special. Who knows when it’ll be. I don’t wanna say that there’s gonna be an end to Sugg Sunday but... I don’t know. I’m not as fussed about that channel as much, which is a shame cuz that’s my main channel. I don’t know it’s been so nice to have a week [...] where I haven’t thought about that kind of stuff”
- obviously the idea of irregular Sugg Sunday Specials is sad but the idea of Joe putting out things because he feels obligated to and not because he enjoys them is even more sad
- “Wow that was deep whoa I went off! That’s what happens when Harry Styles starts playing music I start talking about proper stuff that I don’t normally speak about”
- yes, Harry Styles’ album was playing in the background throughout the entire livestream
- Kiwi is his favorite song (I shit you not that’s my favorite too it’s such a bop)

- honestly I love Joe wow
- HE DOESN’T LIKE THE WORD BUTTERCREAM GANG OR BUTTERCREAM SQUAD
- “We started it as like a little internal thing that we called ourselves and it spread and people call us the buttercream squad and I’m just like ugh it makes me like cringe out a bit whenever I hear it even though it’s what we call ourselves I guess. I don’t really call it that anymore”
- he starts the story of how they started to call themselves that at 28:38 of the video I’m not even going to try and summarize it ya’ll should just watch that bit
- okay but him, Conor, Caspar, and Mikey were the original four and that is so fucking random to me
- for some reason I just got really bummed out that he doesn’t like that name like okay Joe I literally have a blog dedicated to it so what the fuck am I supposed to do now
- he said none of them expected anyone else to start calling it that
- literally you’re all Internet sensations you should’ve known it was gonna get blown up when you gave yourself a name so honestly you brought this upon yourself lmao
- wOW MY HEART ACTUALLY IS BUMMED THAT HE DOESN’T LIKE IT
- also Byron is a member of their squad and literally none of us even talk about him/know him
- (side not Byron is hot as hell)
- I’m dead at how we all cling to whatever they say like the SECOND they tagged #buttercream on a photo we all went off
- I’m have an existential crisis wow

- he wants a pet pig ??
- he’s gonna hang out with Brit soon !
- I ship him and Brit I have since the Jaspoli Coachella days (#unpopularopinion ??)
- literally the second I typed that he made a comment about it oh sorry sorry didn’t know that was a touchy subject
- reminder once again that I am single and available
- okay but they FaceTime every week for hours and that’s goals ???
- my jaw dropped at this bit he said he wants to stop going on nights out and start going to dinner parties and such, that he’s done with the night scene
- I thought he was joking but he was dead ass serious oh my god he’s growing up that felt weird to hear him say that
- “when the time’s right and it’s the right person” he’s a romantic person
- 52:58 through 53:05 is a joy
- “I’m a giver, not a receiver, take that as you will”
- he keeps getting shaky and he thinks it’s because he hasn’t eaten all day and it really worries me
- he’d like to live with both Oli and Josh (separately) and says that they’re both very mature
- his favorite YouTubers are the Sidemen and Caspar
- someone told him to collab with Kian and JC and he completely ignored it lmao
- HE SEES OLI AS A LITTLE BROTHER
- “I feel like I’ve watched him grow from like a little baby seed to like an oak tree. To see him do so well for himself now and he’s in a position where he’s just loving it and I’m so proud of him. I feel like a proud older brother and he’s said he sees me as like an older brother. We’ve had a lot of heart to hearts and stuff and he’s so good for advice. Even though he’s like my younger brother I go to him for advice a lot of the time cuz he’s been doing YouTube longer than I have and he’s just very knowledgeable about everything and he’s very sincere he cares about people a lot he puts others before him a lot of the time and he’s a genuine friend for life”
- THAT HAD ME SO FUCKING EMO
- it takes him a long time to open up to people, he’s usually quite shy when he meets people for the first time unless there’s that instant “chemical spark”
- he talked about being nice to people and compared life to climbing up a tree and how you should be nice to everyone you pass on your way up because if you’re not and then you start to drop, the people you pass won’t be there to grab your hand and stop you from falling
- in girls he looks for someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, not too obsessed about themselves
- obviously first attraction is important but ultimately it’s about the personality (said every guy ever tbh) and then mentioned how if looks are that important to you it means you probably care more about how other people perceive you and your girlfriend than how you feel about your girlfriend herself
- “I want to find someone who can only add something to my life. Someone who improves my life and makes me a happier person. At the moment I’m a really happy person so anyone who has that affect to make it better is the one for me”
- reminder once again that I am single
- like I’m not drop dead gorgeous but I’ve got some stuff to offer I have nice eyes and good hair and my personality is great aside from the occasional down periods due to mental illness but you know we all have our flaws
- he talked seriously quite a bit in the stream and I’m really digging it I like serious Joe
- someone asked for advice on having a crush on your ex and he talked about moving on because it’s probably not good for you but then he said “unless you think they were the one”
- one of the best relationships he’s ever been in has been with someone older than him
- “Maybe I need to go for a cougar. Any 40 year old ladies?”
- *awkward laugh* “I’ve just admitted to a live stream that I’m after a mum. No I’m only joking. Imagine that I could end up being your dad”
- Poop Scoop with Brit on Friday
- he’s in no rush to have children
- “I’m fortunate enough to act like an immature child and get away with it a lot of the time”
- he doesn’t really want to settle down/get married anytime soon because he meets new people everyday and the idea of getting really settled down scares him because he never knows who he’s going to meet the next day
- “that’s why I’ve never- well not that you know of- had any public relationships”
- what the hell does that mean Joseph
- “I’m very good at keeping it all under wraps”
- WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN JOSEPH
- he’s literally so hungry he’s shaking Josh hurry up he needs food
- “I hope Caspar’s there cuz I haven’t seen him in bloody ages and I miss the ol’ boy. I miss the bloody weirdo”
- he loves livestreams because it’s the closest we can get to all sitting in a room together and “having a good ol’ standard chit chat”
- reminder of the 24 hour live stream on ThatcherJoeVlogs starting at 6:00pm UK time (1:00pm EST)
- “New vlog soon. New gaming video soon. I’m back. Don’t worry I’m not going anywhere. I’m still loving life. And more importantly, you’re all bloody legends.”
---
that was a lot there you go (or you could just watch the live stream idk)
also I wish I knew people who lived near me 😭 I would so fucking love to have a sleepover and make good friends and watch Joe

New Post has been published on WilliamBruceWest.com
New Post has been published on http://www.williambrucewest.com/2017/04/28/west-week-ever-pop-culture-review-42817/
West Week Ever: Pop Culture In Review - 4/28/17
So the big media news this week was the announcement of the DC Comics streaming service, which will be the home of the long-delayed live action Titans series, as well as the third season of the Young Justice cartoon. Other than that, very little else is known about the service. Most fans suspect that it’ll have the entire DC library, including animated films, older cartoons like Justice League, and live action series not currently on The CW/Fox. That’s a bit ambitious, though.
youtube
I’m reminded of how the concept of UPN was introduced to the public, with ads that touted all of the classic television that Paramount had given us over the years: Family Ties, Cheers, Star Trek – did this mean that this new network would become the exclusive home for those shows? No, it instead meant we were to brace ourselves for Love Boat: The Next Wave and Shasta McNasty. I get that same feeling here. DC has a great slate of animated films, and some classic animated series, but I think this might end up the hub for newer, untested properties. Take the Titans show for instance. TNT passed on that thing. TNT! They know drama! Sure, it’s produced by Greg Berlanti, but I feel like if it had any real promise, it wouldn’t be relegated to a digital platform that’s not Hulu or Netflix. Same with Young Justice. Sure, it had a following, and the reasons for its cancellation vary depending on who you ask, but expecting the fans to shell out for yet another streaming service isn’t exactly a gesture of goodwill. I’m not paying CBS to watch Star Trek, and I ain’t paying DC for this until I get some more details. Right now, though, it’s a typical DC announcement, where they rushed to announce before a lot of key aspects were in place.
Speaking of DC, NBC basically cancelled Powerless this week by removing all upcoming episodes from their schedule. It’s not a big surprise, as the entire cast deserved better than that show had to offer. In all honesty, I feel like the ties to the DC Universe actually hurt it. If they wanted to do the whole Workplace Comedy Set In A Comic Universe thing, then it probably would’ve worked better with generic superheroes and villains created just for the show. Sure, they mentioned Batman, and the Wayne family plays a pivotal role (which I also had problems with), but they showed Crimson Fox TWICE. CRIMSON FOX! Just mentioning Superman or Wonder Woman isn’t enough. Hell, they can mention those characters on The Middle and it wouldn’t violate any rights or copyright laws. No, this was a big case of Show, Don’t Tell and the show never really had a strong hand when all the cards were on the table. At least this frees up Ron Funches and Danny Pudi for bigger and better things.
youtube
I loved Kingsman: The Secret Service, so I am ALL IN for Kingsman: The Golden Circle. To be honest, I’m probably looking more forward to this than Star Wars Episode 8. Apparently, Kingsman is forced to team up with their American counterpart, Statesman, so it should be interesting to see how the teams play off each other. And I’m really hoping for some extreme American stereotypes. Based on Channing Tatum’s cowboy agent, I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.
In other movie news, Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner are rumored to be up for the roles of Pumbaa and Timon in Disney’s live action adaptation of The Lion King. I like both of these guys, but I really don’t even know why this movie is being made. I mean, sure, putting The Lion King on something is basically the same as printing money, but the recent debut of  the lackluster The Lion Guard showed that there’s a limit to how much you can mine from the property. I haven’t seen the live action adaptation of The Jungle Book, but I guess this will be like that? I mean, the whole thing is animals. How are they gonna do this? Maybe I’m overthinking it, but it just feels like Disney is out of ideas for the moment.
We got a trilogy, y’all! In a surprise move, M. Night Shyamalan tweeted that Glass would be released on January 18th, 2019, serving as the sequel to both Unbreakable and Split. I really enjoyed both of these movies, and it feels like M’s finally got his groove back, so this should be good.
In news that will only matter to you if you’re a Cornell alum, all-male a cappella group The Cayuga’s Waiters have been kicked off campus for hazing. And let me tell you, this couldn’t have happened to a shittier group of douchebags. When people think of a cappella, they always think of lame kids who probably did show choir in high school. And, in most cases, they’d be correct. The Waiters, however, were cut from different cloth. Originally a subset of the Cornell University Glee Club, they were basically a lewd fraternity that occasionally sang songs. Around 25 years ago, one of them wrote “We Didn’t Go To Harvard”, a parody of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start The Fire”, and they’ve pretty much been coasting on that ever since. Their offstage behavior rivaled that of actual rock stars. For example, they got kicked out of a charity concert when one of their members reportedly peed in the corner of the stage. And while there were a few good guys in that group, the core members were THE WORST. They were basically a singing Duke rape scandal waiting to happen. According to news reports, the hazing included making new members take naked ice baths and having them rub IcyHot on each others’ balls. Considering they got shut down, I’m thinking there was more serious stuff that the paper couldn’t print, like elephant walks or something. Anyway, good riddance to bad rubbish. Bet they wish they’d gone to Harvard now!
Things You Might Have Missed This Week
Captain America: The First Avenger director Joe Johnston will direct The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair
Sony has given the Masters of the Universe film a December 18th, 2019 release date, but McG is no longer attached to direct. None of this matters, though, ‘cause this movie is never getting made.
Speaking of Sony, they’ve reportedly fired Dr Luke, and I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS! But there’s no way I’m putting them in a blog post, for them to be dissected and taken out of context.
One of the former Bachelors killed a dude. Nah, I don’t know his name or care enough to look it up. Bachelors are just as replaceable as Duggar kids. He will be forgotten again soon enough
Jeff Goldblum will reportedly return to the land of dinosaurs in the Jurassic World sequel.
Riverdale’s Reggie Mantle will be recast prior to season 2, as actor Ross Butler is committed to Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why, which is close to being renewed for a second season
Star Wars Episode IX’s release date has been revealed as May 23rd, 2019, which shifts the franchise’s releases out of the month of December
Darius “Eddie Winslow” McCrary posted the above pic, asking folks if they’d want a Family Matters reunion. Considering they both look like shit here, I’m leaning towards “no”
Speaking of TGIF reunions, Perfect Strangers stars Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker reunited for Chiller Theatre Expo last weekend in New Jersey. Cousin Larry has aged appropriately, but Balki clearly discovered Crossfit/discount mail-order steroids.
Jeb Bush and Derek Jeter are in a group trying to buy the Miami Marlins. Hey, it’s better than ending up on Dancing with the Stars!
Next fall, Steve Harvey’s TV talk show, Steve Harvey, will move to Los Angeles, and will take on a new format as Steve.
With this week’s series finale of Bates Motel, A&E announced they’re abandoning scripted television and moving to a reality show model.
Maybe it’s just the mood I’m in this week, but nothing really had the West Week Ever. Try harder next week, America!

————————-
Q & A with our writers & our readers! 
During this live stream, we asked everyone to join in and to ask the writers and readers some questions! We had a few so the write up for this is below! I hope you enjoy reading them. 
Q) What comes first? The title then the story or the story then the title? 
Most of us: (in chorus) Stories then title. 
Mert (superfanficnatural): All I will say is, summaries are the devil!
Alex (whatareyousearchingfordean): If i’m honest, I don’t like the title Et Cetera so I’ve decided that I will be changing it once I get to the end of the fiction. 
Me (winchest09): For me it depends, sometimes I can get a story from a song and the title just fits. I had Life for Rent as I started writing it. Other times, when it comes to oneshots, it’s always the story that’s there but I have no idea what to call it and i’m bugging Kate or Sian (@deanwanddamons) for help!
Kate (katehuntington): I think of the story entirely first. I need to know what’s going to happen and I have to plan it all out and once that’s done, I can then think of the title. I like to put the title in the dialogue sometimes too. Ride With Me is gonna be a line in the fic!  
Alex (whatareyousearchingfordean): Yeah, if i can’t think of one (a title), I  generally pull a sentence from the line of the fic. A line that is of some significance or that could be important to the story.
Emory (emoryhemsworth): I love it when fics do that!
Q) What’s the way you write a series? Chapter by Chapter or have it all set out with a start middle and end before you set out to write it?
Mert (superfanficnatural): Chapter chapter but it kinda depends on the fic itself.
Elle (ellewritesfix05): Chapter by chapter!
Alex (whatareyousearchingfordean): Chapter by chapter but it depends on my mood. 
Me (winchest09): I generally have it all planned with my start middle and end. At least bullet pointed before i divide it into my chapters. But it’s all subject to change. Fics take their own life sometimes and you just have to roll with it. But i like to have a direction in mind. 
Kate (katehuntington): I do the outline, but I usually writer chapter for chapter publishing wise. But I definitely know where I'm going before I put down the first words
Q) Do you guys (writers) know how many chapters you’ll have when you start?
Kate (katehuntington): *laughs* No.
Me (winchest09): No, not all! I never expected Life for Rent to be this long and yet I still have chapters to go. I’ve also had to split chapters too with how long they’ve gotten!
Mert (superfanficnatural): Sometimes but not all the time. 
Q) Do readers feel pressured to leave feedback?
Shelli (waywardbeanie): No, not really. 
Emory (emoryhemsworth): In some instances...yes. When blogs point out and make people feel bad for the lack of feedback. I understand it’s important but it does add the pressure to leave a comment. 
Q) What do you do if you get writers block?
Angel (malfoysqueen14): I read comments, or I like to speak to people who are interested in reading my fics. Talk the story over with them, get the buzz going again. 
Emory (emoryhemsworth): I get up, walk away and have a break from it. Take a shower, have something to eat, have just ten minutes for myself then come back to it with fresh eyes. 
Kate (katehuntington): I feel like 70% of the time, I cant get it out. I can’t get the words out. I wish i could push over 1K a day but sometimes it doesn’t happen for me. 
Angel (malfoysqueen14): Another bit of advice would be to just write, even if its terrible or you think it’s terrible. Put it down and get some words out!
Alex (whatareyousearchingfordean): Yeah I agree. For ‘Et Cetera’ I actually wrote part 17 before I wrote anything else because that’s what I had the inspiration for at the time. Then I had to work out how to link it all but I got there. If that doesn’t work, then change projects for a bit and start something fresh. 
Kate (katehuntington): Yeah that’s what I did and why I wrote ‘Wedding Bells’. It definitely helped. 
Q) Do you write it chronological order or not?
Mert (superfanficnatural): Sort of. Like, in my head when i’m writing, I envision the scene, then as i’m typing i can see where the scene could go, like I have many different options to go down. Then i pick one as I get there! 
Kate (katehuntington): Yes, cause i feel like it’d be swiss cheese if not. Full of holes! *laughs*
Me (winchest09): No. I always think I’m a little bit of a strange one for this but I write all over the place. I can write the ending first, then the beginning, then the middle. I’ve got a scene written in my ending but i’m nowhere near that yet! I write what I have the inspiration for at the time then thread it all together. 
Emory (emoryhemsworth): My inspiration always comes out when i’m at work when I cant write. 
Me (winchest09): Oh that happens to me all the time! Especially when I’m driving! 
Angel (malfoysqueen14): I end up writing notes on pieces of receipts *laughs*
Shelli (waywardbeanie): A good idea maybe to record notes on your phone!
Mert (superfanficnatural): Yeah spit out ideas on your phone. That way when you feel like you’ve lost the inspiration, you can always listen to it again and it’ll give you the spark back to write it! 
Me (winchest09): Ok random...and this might make me look crazy but...does anyone else act out their dialogue?
Everyone: Yes! 
Me (winchest09): Thank god! *laughs*
Mert (superfanficnatural): It’s actually a good idea because it can help you channel the emotions. 
Q) For someone who hasn’t written smut before or had any experience to go on, what do you do?
Kate (katehuntington): Watch porn *laughs*
Me (winchest09): Read, read read read. Fanfic, normal books, talk to someone you’re comfortable with about it all, get them to have a look over your stuff if you want them too.
Kate (katehuntington): I have the perfect post to help with synonyms! It’ll be included in the lowdown (Check below in the need help section) 
Mert (superfanficnatural): Definitely ask someone that you speak too to beta it for you if you want them too! 
Alex (whatareyousearchingfordean): What also helps if you don’t have experience with a partner or a partner. Experiment with yourself. You’ll know what feels good and how to describe it. 
————————-
Need Help with a fic?

Fic & blog Recs!
In our live stream, we want to highlight what we’ve been reading and the amazing authors behind the words. So below is a list of all the fics that we recommend for some good ol fic binging!
Fic Recs
Sons of Lawrence by @star-spangled-man-with-a-plan​
Summary: You ran, ran as far as you could from your previous life, ran so far you ended up in Lawrence, Kansas of all places. You had no intention of getting involved with the most notorious biker gang in Lawrence, a biker gang that trafficked illegal drugs, weapons, and anything that might make them money. But Dean Winchester was impossible to resist. One look into those green eyes and you were gone. 
The Man At The Side Of The Road by @supernatural-jackles​
Summary: Driving down the road, going well over the speed limit. You come across a man walking in the opposite direction with a bouquet of flowers in his hands. His head cast down as he walked. Your gut instinct is telling you to check on this man, no matter what your parents told you growing up. Little did you know just how much this would change your life. Dirty Little Secret by @pink1031​
Summary: You are a new character on the show Supernatural, a new hunter named Riley. You are just starting your second season as a regular. Even though you have known Jensen for years and have been close friends, your relationship grows into something more during filming.  You both know that you shouldn’t act on your feelings but you just can’t help it.  What will happen if you do? 
Nicotine by @talesmaniac89​​
Summary: Dean has his vices, but they all pale in comparison to how he craves you. Yet he pushed you away, leaving him gasping for air.
Side by Side by @talesmaniac89​
Summary: You go looking for Dean on the eve of another hunter’s death anniversary. Knowing he’s lost, and needing to comfort him.
You’re Home by @impala-dreamer​
Summary: N.A but this looks like a must read! 
Home Is Where You Are by @muggleishly​
Summary: N/A but this looks adorable! 
The Voices by @fictionalabyss​
Summary: N/A but this looks angsty AF. Go read!
Who Do You Think You Are by @flamencodiva​
Summary: Dean and Y/N have a friends with benefits deal. But what happens along their journey.
Every Time You Leave, I Hit Rock Bottom by @arazialotis​ 
Summary: Scenes from the up and downs of Dean and Y/N’s relationship as they struggle to balance his life as a hunter.
Sky Full Of Stars by @smol-and-grumpy​ 
Summary: He’s Dean Winchester, ex mobster boss, still a little cocky, less ruthless and not at all short tempered anymore. Instead, he thinks he’s hilarious (she doesn’t agree, though). They both try to live a quiet life. And Dean hopes, very hard, that his former life won’t come knocking at their door.
Cross My Heart by @smol-and-grumpy​
Summary:  After opening up a letter, the life as she knows it, changes forever. Her husband hires Dean Winchester to protect her but is Dean really who he said he was? And is her husband really worried about her safety?
One Good Reason by @sunlightdances​
Summary: Dean never brings women back to the bunker. It figures the one time he breaks his own rule, the state issues a lockdown. Navigating the next month is an exercise in trust, patience and falling in love. 
Protector by @fictionalabyss​
Summary: I couldn’t find a summary but this is a Biker AU and it looks AMAZING. 
Shattered Like A Stone by @thoughtslikeaminefield
Summary:  The Mark is demanding and the demon in Dean won’t deny it.
Marked by @there-must-be-a-lock
Summary:  This is a story about trust and control. It’s about the Mark of Cain, trauma and recovery, BDSM, vulnerability, honesty, and the marks we leave on people we love.
Playing Pretend by @supernatural-fangirl1967​ 
Summary:  When you confide in a stranger that you need a date for a week with your family, you don’t expect him to show up offering his help. You try and act like a happy couple, but things get complicated when you start to actually fall for this man. Could you pull it all off and get through the week as more than friends, or do secrets from his past show up to ruin it all?
Logged In by @talesmaniac89​
Summary: Sam tells Dean and the reader about a new online community for hunters and they both scoff at him, but secretly use it and end up drawn to each other.
Shackled by @itmighthavebeenintentional​
Summary: After nearly ten years, Sam Winchester calls Miriam Bard to collect on a life debt. Unfortunately for Miriam, Sam leaves out a few important details.
