omg i just read the 5th chapter of your fic and i wanted to say that i LOVE it!!!
So i saw your post abt it yesterday and started reading at like midnight and i can not get enough!! Good thing it's a tuesday so i didn't have to wait long for an update hh
I love the way you write katie and how she feels to me like a real person, i know you said that at first many people would think that she's an annoying bossy teenage girl, but also, i've been there!! i was also the teenage girl who hated the troublemakers and was scared of breaking the rules (except i couldn't yell at them)
This is just my personal opinion but her bonding moments with the apollo cabin were for sure my favourite scenes, i just love them in general and i get do excited seeing katie interact with one of them!! i'm trying not to spoil here for future readers but the beach scene was so immaculate and definitely in my top 3!! on the other hand, the infirmary scene,...
I know this story is like a tratie endgame, but at several moments i was sooo convinced that katie's gonna have a thing or a moment with someone (which proved *mostly* wrong hh) so i'm still waiting to see how this plays out
Back to me saying how real these relationships are, i love how you convey all these complexities and emotions between campers, while also not forgetting that they're still SOOO young and most of them immature and WILL get into petty fights, but even then, there's still this sense of unity between them, or a camaraderie built by their shared experience (and trauma lol)
i'm looking forward to seeing how the demeter arc is gonna play out, but also what happened after the bday party (again trying not to spoil) and how idk i'm feeling there is some tension and doubt abt some campers' loyalties and their behaviour (katie would kill me for that). I feel like you've been building up for them in the last chapter so i can't wait for everything to blow up in our faces!!
Anyways this is getting pretty, and i still have soooo many stuff i have not mentioned (the last chapter actually brought me to tears, both happy and sad, and i could not be more glad about it) so sorry for clogging up your inbox, but i'm like very insane abt your fic so i had to scream at you about it!!
oh my oh my i actually think this inbox has made my whole day!!!! ive said it before and ill say it again its so crazy to me that people read my silly little story and i love love love talking about it!! thank you for this!!
first of all, thank you for the love re katie! i was sooo worried at first that she would initially come off too unlikeable, but i have been there too and it was important for me to get annoying bossy girl representation (don't worry, i couldn't yell at the troublemakers either)
i also adore the apollo cabin and i promise there is more to come with the apollo kids! one apollo kid in particlar (not named for the Mystery, although it might be pretty obvious who) is about to become a lot more prominent in katie's life and he is genuinely one of my favourite characters in the whole fic so i am so excited to see what you think of him!! im so glad you liked the beach scene! it's also one of my favourite scenes and its so lovely to hear that it resonates!! the infirmary scene...unfortunatrly there might be more where that is coming from :'( the apollo cabin in the pjo series are so deeply tragic and so personal to me
for now my lips are locked on any other potential romances.... i will just say that although it is tratie endgame there will be lots of twists and turns in getting there....
im so glad that the relationships are coming through as authentic!! i've always been a more character/relationship driven writer and through the process of writing this fic these characters and their friendships and bonds have become so real to me and you liking the way i portray their relationships (in all their immature, petty, trauma bonded glory) genuinely means the world to me <33
LMAO katie would kill you for that but also i fullheartedly agree with you. at this point, tensions are high and there is still a Lot to come: at the end of the day, they're children tryint to deal with these incredibly adult things and the culmination of all this tension is almost inevitable at this point
thank you again for this lovely lovely message! i literally was grinning ear to ear reading it: it means so much to me!! thank you thank thank you!! <333

Hi sorry for being the least normal person on the planet about this but I saw you rbing some The Locked Tomb stuff and it's only been like a week or two since I got extremely into the series and it's nice to see someone I follow also show interest in it around the same-ish time as me! Can I ask abt your take on the books so far n fav character/s?
well I've only read the first book (I'm definitely interested in continuing with the series but I probably won't get to it for a while, esp. since I wanna get back into playing Ace Attorney games, as playing a visual novel kinda takes up the same time slot in my day as reading a novel, yk?) so there's def stuff I don't know abt yet.
but anyway yeah! I did really enjoy it. I appreciate the comedy in it, which I wasn't really expecting since like the cover art is so grim and it opens with some really dense politics stuff and a bunch of long names (that I just know should be pronounced with a british accent but I can't really make my head voice do that) and like the actual plot is very serious with deaths and stuff but nonetheless This Book Has Jokes
and its best when they're the dumbest, simplest jokes you could think of and Gideon says them out loud because thats the kind character she is. love her
Palamedes is great too because he entertains Gideon's antics while also being the one most focused on solving the mystery castle puzzles. (this girl who's been here for like a month and has never spoken a word to anyone is talking to me now? and she's rude? thats fine I'll just roll with it). he's also like the most normal dude in the whole cast. you feel comfortable when he's around
(btw what the hell was up with the thing he discovered about the rooms in Canaan House being from different time periods? like the different rooms are literally different ages? I don't think that was ever explained or brought up again???)
Also, for "lesbian fiction" being basically the one thing everyone says about this series, I was kinda surprised at the lack of a romantic plot in this one? I mean maybe there will be more of that in the other books idk, but like. ok so from the beginning it's very clear that Gideon and Harrow are gonna be the main pair here. and I was a little skeptical they were gonna be able to sell me on that because of where their relationship started, but nahhh I had nothing to worry about. they were meant for each other and enemies to lovers works great it turns out. but like. their relationship definitely improves a lot over the course of the story, but most of the time they don't talk to each other about anything but their jobs. its all bones and skeletons and locked doors with them.
don't get me wrong it has strong gay vibes all the way through (and Gideon is constantly commenting on how hot other women are, which is great) but at no point are Harrow and Gideon actually like. dating. closest they got was when I think it was implied they fucked once, after the pool scene. which like, good for them, I'm glad they got the opportunity to do that before, ah, y'know.
speaking of which I have NO clue what'll happen next based on how it ended. and the brief glimpse of the emperor at the very end was not at all what I expected, so that's curious as well...
OH yeah and speaking of the empire. uh at least the copy of the book that I have has a bunch of bonus material at the end, like in-universe essays and reports (and a pronunciation guide where I frustratingly learned I'd been reading half the characters' names wrong). and ONLY in that bonus material was it ever acknowledged that other inhabited planets exist outside of the empire. like for the whole book it kinda seems like there are nine planets that comprise the empire, and that's it. no humans anywhere else in the universe. no life outside the empire.
sure, the Cohort supposedly fights "enemies of the empire" but that's all that's ever said about that. could be like evil skeletons or some other kind of space monster for all we know. but no there ARE other civilizations, which I guess might be at war with the necromancers? it's cool to know that, that this story's universe is bigger than we've seen, and if I had to guess I'd say bigger than we probably ever will see, since there's still so many ghost/death mysteries and House history stuff our beloved necros have yet to solve.
ok thats probably everything I have to say about Gideon the Ninth for now. thanks for giving me an opportunity to put it all into words, lol

Hello! I am back! 💙
So, W. I saw him for the first time in 2 years.
Two days ago, my mom wasn't getting out of work early and I had time to kill after school. It's finals week, and so we've been getting out of school early and my mom doesn't get off of work until 5. I dressed up really nice that day because I had morning practice for basketball, and dresses are the easiest thing to slip on in the morning lol. Anyways, I had this bizarre idea take over me as I was changing out of my pe clothes: "Should I go see W today?"I decided and went to his new school, and I swear to you, the first minute of me seeing him was just me looking at him and saying "Omg, I haven't seen you in forever!" LOL
________________________________________
I'm so happy we got to spend time together. He gave me a tour of his room (which was so cute) and it was nice! Much more spacious than the one we used to work in. He showed me what the kids have been working on, which was cool, he even taught me about 3d printing. He told me he's been doing well, we talked about all our favorite shows. I ended up confessing to him my fears about losing my passion for art, and he understood completely. It was really refreshing, actually.
We had a conversation and I think I might be a realist like he is because we think very similarly. I love the way his mind works, honestly I felt like we could have talked for hours if I wasn't in a rush.
I told him I bought his book and he was so happy! The next time I see him he said he'll autograph it <3
I was basically trying my best to ignore my parents the whole time we were talking because honestly my mom would have never let me go to another school BY MYSELF if she had known. I honestly didn't even know if he was going to be in his classroom, when I walked on campus initially I was trying so hard to find it 😂 I even went to the front desk with a story about my sister and they were like zero help until I told them who I was actually looking for. When the lady at the front desk called him and he actually ANSWERED I almost jumped out of my skin LMAO because I
Knew he was alive and
That he was THERE, ON CAMPUS
I fucking 100 yard dashed over to the buildings another lady from the school pointed me towards. Anyways fast forward, after we get done talking about Boba Fett, Stranger Things 4, and Obi-Wan, 3d printing, and my existential crisis, he told me he was a actually working on a graduation gift for another student and that he was going to my schools graduation at 6 that day.
I told him I was thinking about doing the same thing, which wasn't a lie because it's what I told my mom I was actually going to do. He asked me how I was going to get there and I told him I would walk, and he said he was just thinking about doing the same. So, we walked together. When I tell you I can't make this up because I've literally never been happier and I could go into so much detail if y'all want me to but basically: it was perfect.
We got there hecka early, my mom ended up finding me and yelling at me until I had to tell her I wasn't with some random hippie man for no reason (LMAO) and I ended up convincing her to let me go. Funny story but I almost abandoned him bc of my mom (I'll probably post abt that in a separate post bc it's funny in hindsight lol), and we ended up watching the whole graduation together until 8pm when he walked me to my car...Literally, the sweetest man ❤️ I'm so glad I got to spend an entire evening with him
W.
~~~
Thank you guys for listening! I know this one was long for a post back, if you've never met me before I hope I can get to know you! :)
It's been a while, I actually turned 17 last April! 17! That's my favorite number, especially considering I was born on April 17th lol! I can't believe I started this when I was 14, I know I didn't entirely disclose that fact but nonetheless I'm 17 now and I've learned a lot about myself over the years. They say it gets easier but I've found myself reverting back to bad habits: letting people walk all over me, procrastination, and self hate. Hopefully that changes soon. But I will say I'm probably wiser now, and I'm glad I still have this to come back to when I have wonderful encounters like these <333 love you guys!!!
P.S. Happy Pride Month from a fellow bi!🌺

Hi, so I am a former pro shipper turned anti turned possible pro shipper again. Originally, I was a pro shipper bc I was shipping irl people (basically they were non famous adults I actually knew and I was publishing fanfic abt them without changing names and stuff). Then I kind of got a clue and stopped. I was getting made fun of a lot bc of that so I kind of became an anti (jumped on the RPF hate train, cancelled anyone people told me to, hated on ppl for problematic ships etc). 1/2
i'm gonna answer this all in one ask, but i'm going to respond part-by-part, to help my information-processing-challenged brain.
i do want to say: i'm sorry you got made fun of. i do think that publishing things about people you know irl without changing names is not okay, but i am sorry you got made fun of. that's not a helpful way to help someone understand that they're doing something wrong, and i'm sorry you went through that.
Anyways, I recently got into a fandom that a lot of people have tried to cancel/shame people for liking, and I’ve been re-examining a lot of my views. It’s tbh a little sad bc most of my friends (while not active in fandoms) have a super anti mindset and would definitely shamed me especially bc of my past if I mentioned this stuff. However, becoming a pro shipper again has been a long, tiring mental process of learning to accept people again and I really appreciate your account for being so 2/3
yeah, problematic fandoms. urgh. i don't want to get into discourse, because like. not trying to do that. but ever since steven universe got called a problematic fandom (what the FUCK guys), i haven't taken that sort of shit seriously. with like, two or three exceptions which i won't list here, because the whole point is to deplatform them so no one talks about them and listing them defeats the point (which is why problematic fandom arguments are so dumb and counterproductive holy shit i wouldn't have known XYZ even EXISTED if people weren't constantly trying to tell me it was bad), and even then it's more of a "i personally do not engage with that."
i try really hard not to judge other people on their interests. i'm a proud homestuck fan. i write warrior cats fanfiction, often about very adult topics. i get it.
when it comes to friends...i don't know if you want advice, so ignore this paragraph if you don't, but it might be worth putting feelers out. people can surprise you. it's up to you what you want to do about that, but frankly, i don't care what your ship opinions are. if you're against harassment, you can be my friend. (you might not want me to be your friend, but hey, that's your prerogative.)
anyway, yeah. i've gotten embroiled in online circles before and had to unpick beliefs from them. it's hard work, and my heart goes out to you. remember that the most important part is that you don't harass other people. i'm a firm believer in "i don't need you to accept me, i just need you to respect me." in other words, i'd rather deal with a homophobe who kept their mouth shut around gay people than an LGBT+ person who told me i couldn't call myself queer.
but i digress. it's hard work, and i hope it goes well for you.
Open to people who don’t label/people trying to become proshippers and stuff bc no matter how people irl treat me, I’ve always felt welcome here. Anyways, absolutely love your warriors stuff and thanks for having such a cool blog. 3/3
i'm glad you feel welcome here! i hope everyone does. i don't care what people call themselves. i'm here to have a good time, and anyone who wants to have a good time with me can.
this is my corner and i say ship discourse is dumb as hell. like sld;fksd;ajfk it's so dumb and not worth my time i've made an active choice to not bother arguing about it anymore. i was tempted to explain why it's dumb, but i'm not going to do that. it's not worth it.
wishing you the best.
<3

i might have stumbled across an old post but i saw smthg from you about fe3h felix as a wheelchair user and i would be so interested to hear more of your ideas abt that!! im a wheelchair user and recruited felix for my first playthrough and it is so exciting to imagine someone like him possibly being like me, if you’re still interested in the AU?
Hi there, I'm glad someone is interested in that AU for him! I'll describe the wheelchair aspects before I go into the AU itself. It's a bit long so I'll put it under a cut.
He was injured in battle during the Academy, and lost the function of his legs because of the nerve damage his back took, but you'd be wrong if you thought that was the end of his career in battle.
I'd actually been thinking on how to enhance it while he was in battle, and I was thinking not only spikes in the wheels, but him actually working with some mages to give it the ability to shoot fire magic for ranged attacking from possible blind spots. He basically had magic guns attached on the back too, so he could not only use his swords to attack, but supplement where he couldn't with the chair itself.
I'm still revising the design of the chair though, but this series isn't fully historically accurate and it's a high fantasy setting anyways, so I can get a little creative without fretting over every nook and cranny of the chair as long as it functions as it should I think jiuofid
The AU itself is basically just him being briefly possessed by some elder god after he gets turned into a vampire and defeats them in battle, it completely traumatizes him and changes his outlook on life because he saw mortality from a pessimistic god's perspective (hence the dead look in his eyes and darker color to them), and now he tends to live his life day by day in his manor in quiet contentment as he recovers. He still does have the fire for battle and is more powerful than ever before, but he's a LOT quieter about it thanks to being a diet deity now (further details on that are still being fleshed out).
Oh and as a bonus Claude is shipped with him in this AU, and eventually becomes a werewolf after Felix tempts him with that "supernatural allure" so to say (AKA told him "I've heard about ways you can harness the power of lycantrhopy if you're interested" and he was indeed interested)

4x3 headcase idk, I don't have time for this why am I here doing this hhh
universal studios? Weird intro, v cgi
RC: Her? Yes. You? ehh MR: eee A mister Stan Ford She's faking it, she's going to play them & then boom she's going to say "psych I got in!" ... Or not
dissintegrated? What would lanie do here? No body for her... Ryan looks fancy today Ah the wedding. Poor ryan. (called it) 6:40 were the gunshots & then 7.00 is a long time later
Wow called him detective ryan, that's fun usually we just hear ryan. Men. At least u'r 50% down... He's term limited! I like gates (here only as watching the show for the funnies tho) Like that time y'all got the body stolen
What good timing, three vans & you have the info u need on all of them; & then YOU come in saying which one it is (if you only had this info you would have had like a million vans like that in new york to think abt)
I like it when they are still wearing their clothes but not quite, like ryan took off his coat vest & tie & let out the buttons of his shirt, espt is wearing a tshirt, they all look so different with their police vests on.
Sci-fi! In murdoch mysteries they had a non-canon halloween episode where aliens were real, then later it turned out to be george's book that he wrote Master Chief? Maybe don't wipe stuff around & let ppl know ur presence Ryan's eyes are so so bright here
is it 10o'clock for everyone? they are kind of spread out
KR: think they can put me under until the wedding? RC in s3 after freezing to death with kate: Don't let anyone sell you on cryogenics
ah, 6.55. KB's right, he's dead, his brain is dead. (Actually death is a social construct. Medically you cannot pinpoint the time of death because different types of death happen at different times, they can happen at different times for different people, they can be reversed, someone can be dead in some ways & still survive for a long time in other ways, & by a long time I don't mean minutes I mean hours to years in theory but never in practice.)
at least now they know their vic. not ok to say castle I mean, as long as he has the contract... I don't think u can sue her & the nypd into oblivion as you put it but if you do can u please obliterate the rest of the police? thanks.
btw I'm sad that the transcript is not available for this. (update: no livejournal transcript by the person I had,but I found transcripts on dustjackets) explain it to gates starting from the beginning? No sir my mother was a lawyer. (& your dad right?)
At least the technicians had info on the crime scene since they were there so fast...? Poor ryan, he looks so afraid coming in & knocking
wife did it he said one lifetime wasn't enough maybe she thought one lifetime was too much-- or "so do I" so scratch that theory Ambrosia? RC & me: food of the gods pharmaceutical implants? Like that one t4t firefly fanfic I read? No, telomeres telomeres telomeres Big pharma would stop it probs... yk, all u need to do is make it to 2029 supposedly a porn mogul what???? (I like how beau randolph becomes a recurring character)
RC: Wha- I can't even get a carry permit, how did he get one? So rick HAS tried to get a carry permit. I've been saying this for a while now, I'm glad we have the facts on the show now KR: The hard way. Several guys saw their girlfriends in his videos &, beat the hell out of him. : ) RC: no longer jealous. (could clip) Yk giving a gun to someone who has been beaten up & now has enemies might not be a good idea, I feel like it's an easy way to bring up murder rates...
RC: would u get the implants? KB, lookin at her tits: I don't think I need em, huh? (meh not clipping either of these) she's so right isn't that how you'll be anyway? When did you become so judgemental about naked women? When my daughter hit college age.
The one thing internet porn taught me: you don't get rich by giving (life extending research) away Not a phrase I was expecting to hear (won't clip)
Ah human testing! Yeah reminds me of when homeless people kept getting covid vaccines, like a lot of them, so that rich ppl could get around with vaccination cards pigeons??? really??? "Yeah that's what I'm going with" he did it.
She's so hot. She didn't become an IA detective for looking pretty, she's smart & strong. The doctor dude: we only need the brain uwu KB: *this man is insane if he thinks he can revive this fellow by freezing his brain*
It's going to be frozen tho
She meant what she said! Man doesn't have a head this is so weird Maybe one of his test subjects killed him, like randolph said. Find his clinic, find his killer. So she DID get that scooter? KB: I can manage without u for a few hours RC: don't look so happy abt it
KR: Hey JE: Yo, ryan what's up man where've u been? KR, going to sit by espt's desk: College. listen to this-- KR: *stops* KR: *face falls* KR: KR: *looks down hard* KR: KR: KR: *points down with his hand all the way up at his chin* KR: What the hell is this? (dead (pigeon)dove (do not eat) is in an evidence bag on espt's desk) JE: That, my friend, is Beau Randolph's alibi KR: He really did commit murder JE: Writing him up for animal cruelty right now KR: maybe there's still time to cryonically freeze the little guy. (no. there is not.) JE: KR: : ( JE: hamilton's office? (clipping absolutely)
KR: First of all, WOW I know what we'll be doing once we're fried & don't care anymore, at least they bagged the evidence That might be more like little pharma.
I love this kid his voice cracking like that. JE: ... Excuse me? This kid is amazing I love him
Clerk: I figured he had a blow up doll collection or smth. *door opens to some horror movie type room* Clerk: I am not cleaning this up. KR: Please stay back ma'am? Clerk: Twist my arm /s JE: *holds open plastic door like a gentleman* KR: Dude there had better not be any body parts in there JE, who is a homicide detective Along With Ryan: Just [go in] At least they have guns (meh won't clip)
Lidocaine. I thought they moved from lidocaine to nocovaine... or maybe they are both used but for different purposes or it was the other way around. (reminds me of my autosurgery) Um, his human test subjects probably?? The lighting is... interesting.
Uh, homeless poor people. MR: I'd give (getting an operation in a hotel) a try. Though I'd need five stars. girl??
Carry her up to bed, first time in years <3 <3 Lol good old participation trophies girl bouncing off your head & not knowing u scored a goal is not going to make her feel better Poor alexis. I'm starting to feel glad that I was ALWAYS a failure so I don't have to deal with being a prodigy & then crashing like alexis.
I always love how castle goes to beckett with teenage girl problems
hamilton's hotel of horrors I like ryan's jacket, it has a pattern. & then he walks away the way he does. What is wrong(/neu) with him tho? does he have hip problems? why does he walk like that? I'm not complaining I just... noticed (Me: *watched 8x5 through 8x7 today* heheh physicality)
Lanie could this have been a text? Ah & they have his DNA in the system now bc of the start of the episode Or HE was doing procedures on HIMSELF. Lanie is talking y'all Stop doing that thing you do for one second! (won't clip) brain matter & they don't have the head. ugh. Could they maybe talk to hamilton's doctor?
Oh. No. Why is there fog on the floor? Ever heard of phineas gauge? Lanie's going to be fine no IT'S GONE? SERIOUSLY? FREAKING W???
Mrs Hamilton, v stressed: I DON'T UNDERSTAND, HOW COULD YOU LOSE MY HUSBAND'S HEAD? KR, as softly & respectfully as possible: That's what we're trying to figure out, mrs hamilton [...] Ham: SHFJHSD KR: *looking around trying to escape* Ham: FBSDFJ KR: *trying to be calm when this lady is all up in his face but gosh this poor man*
becks, you don't put "either" in an &/or. it is EITHER either/or, OR and/or. This was an either/or. You can only have one of them. Espt, that is one ugly shirt.
the tech is neat, apparently the tech ppl on the show make props for them that actually work & it's rly cool
Open up boyd! *glass shatters* I don't think he's opening up
He went out the window to the fire escape! Yeah, ya think??? Who wrote this episode XD He's got the head! I can see that!! ooh sexy music, & really funny vertical chase scene. Yk, one thing I learned from doing roofing, you can walk forwards down a ladder & it is much faster. (clipping) *comically drops the head* Castle *jumps from the fire escape into a dumpster to get the head* *shakes it* "I think it's ok" BRO
random cryo employee in scrubs: he's going to be fine. *shakes head* why would anyone steal a head? idk what this scene brought to the episode but I'm glad it was there
What did you miss him?
inoperable & untreatable beckett, duh! Aw, this poor man... this is honestly sad Where did u do MRIs? Why didn't Lanie see this in his med files?
Alexis? <3 big sad He framed his first manuscript rejection <3 wasn't a tolkein book or Dune published by a car company or smth? Markiplier vibes. my failures drive me. rejection CAN BE failure. You failed at getting into this college. So what? Failure is something you do, not something you are, & it is ok to fail. I'd say it's ok to fail as long as you learn from it but you don't need to learn necessarily. Sometimes you just fail. Giving up is failure to try. & giving up is ok sometimes! Sunk cost fallacy! Sometimes you just need to try something else! I gave up drawing when I was like five, I don't care. (hm, won't clip)
Girl you have a semester left of school still, try reapplying & apply to other places too. I took an extra year of high school, no biggie.
KB: is she ok? RC: were any of us at that age? My mom & me: *look at my little bro* (won't clip)
what abt that missing briefcase? 99 times out of 100 u catch someone with a guy's head, he killed the guy. Reminds me of the mask of zorro. Castle *makes a joke abt how it's lucky he died* Beckett: he would be....... I WAS RIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE & that's why she was so reluctant to let them have the body & the cops only got it from the doctor & lawyer!!
Ah, contract termination this is kinda sad. At least she got rid of the gun. Why not the briefcase tho? it ws special? really?
in love or in-sane Yeah it's going to be the wife cyanide capsule in her teeth or smth.
Pretty pic of her with her man tho. Cyanide starves the cells of oxygen idk if future medicine is going to save you after you died like that... How long do the effects of cyanide last before you get rid of the cyanide? idk bc it usually kills u. I mean theoretically u could survive but the research paper I skimmed (but didn't read) was all hypothetical. Imagine cryonically waking up & your wife killed you. how mad would you be? u wake up & she wakes up too & she says "the only reason u'r alive is bc I killed you" how messed up would that be at least the man asked for permission this time lol
aww from "i don't believe in magic" to "anything's possible" so cute
I would like it if this cryonics place comes back in a future episode. Or someone from one of these cases. Like how sammy keyes in the last book,,, you know... (Looks like u got your wish Dom)
So yeah that was fun (But I read the transcript alongside my liveblog so I didn't note down all the places I needed to clip)

hi! sorry for disappearing, i was feeling a bit down and then i 🫠 for a little while after that. yes, nfsw is a massive no but like you said there are other topics that shouldn't be discuss about. it actually is but a person will either get upset or find it rude, depending on their mindset but i suppose it's both like a double edged sword. those relationships def are treated as inferior but the friendships that turn into relationships are probably criticise most esp if the parties been friends for years but you can't force feelings to come out at an acceptable time if it ever happens 🤷‍♀️ that's true, a relationship need to be stable before progressing more.
it is a bit unfair esp if the newer users become massive fans, there are playthroughs on youtube but from what i've seen, it is a bit jumbled up and all over the place. i'm assuming you must have a lot of weapons then? oh i see, are they both mobile based? fans want a nintendo switch port for GI. it is a bit of a random topic lol. that's true and it would be super hard too, the spellings for my mum and her siblings overlaps a lot, they have double e in all their names. it's been a cool topic to talk about but it's finished now 🤣 that sound like an awkward situation to be in, i hope your teachers never thought that for like signed permissions slips for school's trips 😭 did you guys ever have problem with telling which one is your mail/posted package considering the initials thing. ah my dad and my names spelling are very similar (we have the same letters expect for one that isn't in mine) along with the initials so someone accidentally gave my option of voting to my dad because they skimmed through our names 😂 i did asked my dad if this was planned regarding our names and he said no.
also, i saw a short animated of koko accidentally confessing to inupi and it made me wonder what happened to inupi in the bonten timeline and his relationship with koko.
oh don’t worry, i’m glad that you’re back & feeling better again! <3
yup, agreed
yep. my ex & i tried to love each other romantically and force the feelings, aaand it did not work out lol. in hindsight i’m amazed we managed to go 8 months lmao. funny story too bc we’re both aroace now so it was double stupid. we also didn’t talk at all for 2 years (bc i had them blocked afhjfhg) but we started talking again last week and it’s going great now that we’ve both grown and realised that we’re way better off as friends so i’m not too upset abt our past mistakes anymore lol. anyway, lesson learnt, forcing relationships or love does NOT work out, no matter how desperately you want it to. also agreed, relationships definitely need to be stable to move on bc if they’re not it just keeps getting harder to somehow make them stable (again).
yeah, true. i mean yes.. to be fair i’ve been playing for a really long time and for most of that i’ve been playing it daily so,, hoyoverse (i think i called the company mihoyo in my last reply? they used to be called mihoyo but changed their name to hoyoverse idk a year or so ago but i keep forgetting adhjf) now releases all of their games for both mobile & pc, and i think gi, hi3rd, and hsr are for ps4 & ps5 too? honestly not sure, i play them all on pc. ah yes, the switch port... i used to be kinda excited for it but i’ve lost hope for getting one soon (if ever) bc we were promised one two and a half years ago and nothing’s been done ever since 💀
funny thing my dad is a teacher at my school so he knows some of my teachers a bit & even is friends with one lol so i never really had any problems with our signatures after explaining why they’re so similar. idk abt other places but on the post here there’s always your full name so we never had problems with that. tho i’ve had a bunch of other teachers from my school text me on teams thinking they were texting my father bc our usernames on there (bc school) are almost the same afhjgfjshd
ah lol, that seems annoying
oh i think i know which animation that was bc i think i’ve seen it too! i personally hc that they went no contact or at least barely have any contact even if they’re both not really happy with that (especially koko) but they think it’s for the best. i just think inupi wouldn’t want any associations with criminals and koko wouldn’t want inupi to have associations with criminals bc of him either, so... tho that’s pretty sad afhjggfh but imo the most realistic version of them in bonten

aw it feels weirdly comforting to have u encourage my pickiness... thank you n_n I'm so used to having to argue with people over the shite I'm picky about that this is kinda refreshing tbh!! and about ur ancestry that's super cool imo :000 I think being mixed rules!!! for me I know one of my birth parents was black and born here and one was Asian born out of the country, but I've never really done any digging to find out their names because I'm kinda scared??? nghngngng I thought maybe if I'd ended up a care leaver I'd look into things just so I could have some sort of family but as it turns out I got adopted again so :3 I'm really hoping this time I don't go back to being an orphan because that would kinda suck. so maybe I should forget about it. who knows!!!!!!!!! I clearly don't AND TODAY I'M SUFFERING FROM TMI-ITIS I'M SO SORRY FWEND T_T - ANON
heyyy sorry abt the wait anonbud, i ended up unable to log in much these past 2 days >_<
look i think being picky is fecking powerful. its like ye know some shites just not good for ye and ye have the power to say so. if other ppl dont understand it and refuse to listen to ye thats their problem ye keep being the metaphorical queen that ye are (metaphorical bc the real monarchy sucks arse)
HEYYYY WE'RE BOTH BLASIAN THEN, NICE :D what makes ye scared tho? are ye like afraid of what ye could find or of any repercussions ye think that might have? either way im glad ye have been adopted and seem to be satisfied about yer current living situation, i rly hope things work oot for ye and IF ye ever look into yr background, it's because yer family supports ye through it!! or at least doesnt give ye shite for it lmao. idk how that goes for adoptive families but i know some ppl may be super resistant to letting others know about their pasts when theyre directly involved. like me granda, he's still around but we dont talk much and he says his family's backstory shouldnt matter because what does matter is what he and me grandma built here. but grandma told me a bit about her home island while grandas like YEP MY FAMILY CAME FROM NIGERIA THATS ALL YE NEED TO KNOW KTHXBYEEEEE \^O^/ it gets on my nerves but who tf am i to argue right e_e
ANYWAY TMITIS IS JUST FINE HERE FRIEND, I DON'T THINK THATS A BAD CONDITION TAE HAVE, WHENEVER AN EPISODE HITS JUST COME TO ME AND WELL TALK IT OOT 8))))

GUYS AND GIRLS AND MY NON-BINARY MATES! IT'S OKAY TO STOP WHENEVER YOU WANT. DO NOT FEEL OBLIGATED TO CONTINUE JUST BECAUSE YOUR PARTNER WANTS. CONSENT IS BOTH WAYS.
Okay, yeah, I just want to put that out because I've seen some of my acquaintances or heard stories going through some traumatic shit because they weren't ready but were forced to go through it.
Pairing (s): MSBY Four — Bokuto Koutarou, Hinata Shoyo, Miya Atsumu and Sakusa Kiyoomi x fem! reader, all characters are aged up!
Genre: romance, fluff
Warning (s): mentions of sex, pre-marital sex, suggestive themes, toxic friends, peer pressure, sexual assault not suitable for 18 and under. 18 and under DNI.
a/n - not going to lie; I always feel uncomfy while writing kissing or seggs scenes because I have no idea how it feels. Do people really suck their partner's tongue while making out? I have tons of questions, but my irl friends are like me, we have no knowledge abt kissing...
Enjoy~!
Bokuto Koutarou
Tumblr media
Bokuto is your first boyfriend, and he is your first for everything.
He is always patient and never rushes you.
You two always do things at your pace because he doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable.
But, you know that sooner or later, you two would have sex.
And the thought of it scares you.
You were brought up in a traditional and conservative family; sex was never really mentioned.
Most of your friends are experienced and often give you advice on how to do it.
Some of your 'friends' told you that he will leave you if you don't have sex with him soon.
You're an insecure individual, so hearing those, you can't help but feel obligated to have sex with him soon.
Bokuto has a high EQ, and he easily noticed that you were feeling upset.
Since you didn't want to worry him, you reassure him that you were okay.
After three years of dating, was he going to leave you because you two couldn't have sex because of you?
Bokuto pulls you onto his lap, and you gently loop your arms around his neck to bring him closer to you. You kissed him back with as much passion as he was, and he sneaks his hands underneath your shirt to massage your stomach gently.
You softly moaned when he slips his tongue into yours, and he playfully sucks on it.
He stops kissing your lips and slowly kisses his way down to your neck, and sucks on your collarbones, leaving light love bites on them. Your breath hitched when you felt him cupping your breast; you immediately pushed his hands away.
At first, Bokuto felt a bit taken back by your reaction, then he saw your glassy eyes.
"Hey, what's wrong? You can tell me." He tries to touch you, but you shook your head.
"I'm not ready...I don't want to do this, Kou. Are you going to leave me?" Bokuto was confused; why the hell would you come to a conclusion that ridiculous just because you didn't want to have sex with him?
He cups your face and makes you face him.
"Babe, it's okay if you're not ready. We don't have to do this if you don't want to. We can stop. I'll never leave you. Was it those friends of yours again? Dump them. If my baby doesn't want to have sex, then we shall not. We shall do it when you're ready, okay? Don't feel pressured by them; we do this at our pace. Now, do you want to watch a movie and cuddle?" You meekly nodded your head, and he kisses your forehead and on the lips.
Bokuto went back to the room and came back with a big fleece blanket.
"Virgin or not, I will always love you. Don't listen to the rubbish they are talking about. If you wanna have sex, we can do it. As long you are comfortable, that is all I want. Don't blame yourself, okay?" He flicked your forehead when he noticed your sad pout.
He set up the TV and dims the lights in the living room. You sat in his lap, and he wraps the blanket around the two of you as the movie starts playing.
"Kou, I love you. Thank you for being so understanding." You thanked him and kisses his cheek.
"I love you too." Bokuto pulls you closer and kisses the top of your head.
Tumblr media
Miya Atsumu
Tumblr media
Atsumu loves you a lot.
You were the first girlfriend he has brought home to his parents, and Osamu approves of you.
It seems like he has found his match. His fans were glad to see him in a relationship where he is genuinely happy.
Before Atsumu, you dated a couple of guys, and it was all bad experiences.
Your first boyfriend forced you to give your virginity to him, and he was older, so you thought that was what you're supposed to do in a relationship.
The second guy just took advantage of your vulnerability and exploit you in the worst possible ways.
You met Atsumu while working as a pilates instructor, and their's team trainer introduced you to him.
And you two have been dating for about two years after knowing for about a year.
Sex...you two did talk about it, but you were just not ready to do it after all the traumatic experiences.
And, he was okay with it.
You felt bad because sometimes you can hear him touching himself, yet you can't help him with his needs.
"Tsumu, let's do it." You climb into his lap and captures his lips into yours. He was surprised, but nonetheless, he loves kissing you. He wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you closer to him.
His hands crept up to your inner thighs, and he starts massaging your thighs.
You felt a bit squirmish and slight discomfort, but you ignored it and starts kissing down his neck, leaving love bites, and you helped him removed his shirt.
Atsumu knows you well, and he noticed your expression. Even though it was subtle, he noticed how you were slightly uncomfortable and when he touches you, you flinched by reflex.
All the small actions that you unconsciously do make him realised that you were forcing yourself to do.
"Hey, we don't have to do it if you're not ready. You don't have to force yourself." Hearing him say that, you broke down in tears.
He holds you securely and pats your back in a comforting manner as you cry.
Even though you wanted to do it, he sensed that you were uncomfortable and decided to stop you. He noticed that you were not ready and immediately stopped and comforted you; it made you realise that he is not like your exes.
"Babe, we can do it when you're ready to do it. No need to rush yourself; I can wait. I'm not going to leave just because we are not having sex." He comforted you and nodded your head.
You lifted up your head, and his heart ached at the sight of your tear-stained cheeks.
"I'm sorry for not being able to things like a normal couple. I just thought that you might leave me if we don't have sex..." He shook his head and cups your face in his hands.
"I can wait as long as you are ready to do it. I'm not going to leave you just because we can't have sex. If I have any urges, I'll just touch myself or something. I want you to feel that you are safe with me and under no pressure. If you don't want to have sex, we don't have to. Is that clear?" He stroke your cheeks gently.
"Thank you for being so patient. I just feel-" Atsumu shuts you up by kissing you on the lips.
"No more feeling bad in this house! Let's watch your favourite show and order takeout, okay?" He was desperately trying to comfort you.
"Okay, I'll stop feeling bad. I love you." You leaned in to kiss his lips.
"I love you too. Now, I'll go get you one of my hoodies and we can cuddle more after I go calm myself down. See you in a bit!" He pecks your lips and rushed off to the bathroom.
Tumblr media
Hinata Shōyō
Tumblr media
He may look innocent, but Hinata probably has more experience than you.
But this guy has tons of patience when it comes to you.
You knew him since young since he was a neighbour of yours.
After graduating high school, you two reconnected and started dating shortly.
So, you two have been dating for three years, and there has never been a dull moment with him.
However, your friends ask about your sex life, but the two of you literally did nothing. The most you guys did was make out.
It's not you guys are super pure or innocent; you two felt there wasn't a need to have sex.
But how long can he last without having sex?
So you decided to ask him directly about it.
The two of you were just chilling on the sofa after dinner. You snuggled against him, and he wraps his arms around you and pulls you closer to him. When you two entered into the relationship, you guys promised each other to always be open.
Communication was the key to a stable relationship, and it was bugging you.
"Babe, are you okay without having sex? We've been going out for three years, and we never had sex. I just want to know your opinion about it." It was direct, and he never expects to have this kind of talk with you.
He thinks for a moment and hugs you tighter.
"Well, I am fine without it since I've been so busy training. I just want to spend time with you, sex or no sex; I love being around you. And, it's your body too. When you are ready, you can just tell me. No need to rush." He kisses your cheeks, and you nodded your head.
"Okay, I just want to know. You know, because my friends are talking about how sex is the one factor keeping their man. What about you?" You poked his cheeks, and he pouts.
"I'm not that horny! Anyways, I love coming home to your cooking and how you decorate our apartment and our dates! Not all relationships are like that...Or perhaps, you are the horny one in this relationship?" He scooted over from you and gasped.
You rolled your eyes at his dramatic self.
"You are the horny one! I caught you doing it in the bathroom!"
"You did it too! You left your dildo by the bathroom counter!"
The two of you burst out laughing at each other.
"Alright, we can do it whenever you are ready. Wait, we are going to miss the show! Turn on the TV!"
Tumblr media
Sakusa Kiyoomi
Tumblr media
Both of you are pretty direct in your relationship since you guys prioritise communication.
The talk of sex never really come up in your conversation.
You two have not moved in together yet but are looking at potential places to move in together.
Your parents were happy to hear you two were finally getting your own place after dating for five years and are engaged now.
Both of you rarely have the time to meet since you both are busy, but Sundays are meant for dates.
Your friends are shocked to hear that you and Sakusa never have sex throughout your relationship, not even once.
Maybe you two could just keep in your pants 👀.
Obviously, you two almost did it, but both of you stopped each other before it went further.
Sakusa himself has a lot of restraint but sometimes, seeing you in his shirt and cooking in his kitchen really turns him on.
He stood up from the sofa and approached you from the back. You jumped slightly when he wrapped his arms around your waist and leaned his chin on your shoulder.
"Wait a bit; good food takes time to cook. You can have some strawberries if you're hungry. My uncle sent some from his farm." He was not looking for some strawberries.
Sakusa softly kisses the nape of your neck; you accidentally let out a moan when he sucks on your sensitive spot. His naughty hands slyly sneak under your shirt and touch your stomach, leaving feathery touches below your bra.
He never stops kissing your neck, and you knew this might end up in the bedroom if you don't stop him and no dinner for you two.
"Kiyoomi, stop. I'm not ready yet." You told him firmly, and he stops immediately.
You turn down the stove and turns around to face him. He looked away, feeling guilty that he lost his rationality when he saw you in his shirt.
"Hey, don't feel bad. I stopped you, didn't I? That's all that matter." He lets out a deep sigh and pulls you into his embrace.
"I'm sorry. Seeing you in my shirt, I lost my rationality. You look so damn hot in it." He confessed, and you burst out laughing.
Sakusa frowned and cups your face to make you look at him.
"Fine, I won't laugh but get those strawberries and get out of the kitchen." You loop your arms around his neck to bring him down to your height for a kiss.
He lets you go and got the strawberries to the living room but his eyes were admiring your back as you return back to cooking.
Tumblr media
YAASSSSSSS! I'M DONE!
I'm so happy that I have finished writing this! Hope you all enjoyed this! Thank you for reading!
Stay safe and healthy!
With love,

So I was thinking abt the Yan harem and the enemies to love troupe n shit last night in my room
I tend to reenact a lot of stuff I make up (Possible maladaptive daydreaming maybe lol) And oh my GOD I got so heated just thinking about it
Imagine you and your bestie arrive and this manor that makes you play death games over and over again while also having 15+ guys on your friends ass and them trying to kill yours
I like to think survs get revived after they've bleed out or died (Just to keep the drama going yk) So even if they did jump your ass, a day or two later, they'd see you waiting at the lobby table waiting for a new match to start.
An old problem with a new and improved solution (more creative ways to 💀)
I thought of various possible ways for the harem to not stab the reader in the back every five seconds. One of them was the reader giving in and helping the harem out in exchange for some slack.
Reader: Look, I dont want ANY beef with ANY of yall. So let's make a deal.
Naib: I don't want to make any sort of conversation with you
Reader: Then I guess you guys don't want a very useful asset to get to my friend huh
William: Why should we trust you?
Reader: Believe it or not, I'd like some PEACE and QUIET in my life for a change.
Naib: We could just kill you right here if we really wanted to
Reader: Whether you do it or not won't change anything. I'm just gonna come back and annoy yall even more. So let's just call a truce.
Naib: ... Start talking
Then reader goes on to blah blah, I'll slip yall into their room, blah blah, I'll do individual set ups for yall within the month, blah blah, playing lowkey forced match maker.
It may seem messed up to sell out your friend for some insane creeps, but hey, it keeps you from being on Aesop's embalming table.
Buuuutt, after a while of doing this for maybe 2 to 4 months, they start to look at things other than your friend and their shit for once.
Reader: C'mon Norton, it's your day.
Norton: *Follows in silence*
Reader: Don't take anything too obvious, and don't be too loud.
Norton: I know. You don't need to tell me everytime, *Opens the door to your friends private room with a bit of excited force and enters*
Reader: *Closes door behind him* Fucking creep...
Reader's Friend: Oh, Y/n! What are you doing here?
Reader: Holy!- fuck, don't scare me like that F/n.
Reader's friend: Sorry haha. Uh, did you leave something in my room from the last time we hung out? I just saw you close the door.
Reader: Oh, yeah! I just left one of my accessories! You know how forgetful I can be.
Reader's friend: Oh okay. Anyway, if you could move so I could get to my room, that'd be nice-
Reader: Wait! Didn't you just come from a match!?
Reader's friend: Um, yeah, but the Hunter was Michiko, but she didn't injure me. We got a tie.
Reader: Well you must be parched then! Let's go get you something to refresh yourself with!
Reader's friend: Well, no, it's okay, I'm already well adjusted back to good health, I just want to be in my room-
Reader: Don't be Silly! *Turns friend the opposite way* You're probably exhausted from all that running! I would know.
Reader's friend: Y/n, you're acting kind of strange. You've been around a lot of the guys lately. Have they been rough with you again? I saw you've been near Norton this afternoon too.
Reader: What? No, of course not! I've just been getting on better terms with them and making new friends, that's all! And Norton isn't mean at all! He's strong, loyal, and intelligent. His love for crystals and special rocks and stones makes him a charming man! He may seem cold upfront, but he's really just a nice guy once you get to know him...
Reader's friend: Oh well, that's nice to hear. I'm glad you guys are fixing things up. I remember the last time one of you fought. It really wasn't pretty.
Reader: It's okay haha. We're all good teammates now.
Norton: *A cold sweat mess*
He was fucking relieved you didn't snitch or let his darling in.
But he was also glad you praised him.
Aw yeah it's all coming together
They don't really know a lot about your friend since they're all trying to hog them to themselves. Your friend also doesn't really know much about any of the harem guys either because they keep getting thrown in different situations everyday and keep running back to you for help.
But you know a lot about the guys. You obviously needed to know their likes, dislikes, interests, and personalities so you could set them up on, 'coincidental dates' and so you could help them over some relationship hurdles.
Antonio: What do you mean I can't keep them in my room?
Reader: I MEAN THEY'LL BE TRUAMATIZED AND THATS LITERALLY KIDNAPPING-
So once the harem realized, "Oh shit, I have more of an emotional connection with Y/n than with F/n." They're gonna go fucking feral and treat the whole manor apart for a week or two.
How could they betray their one and only darling by falling for another? Yeah, sure you understood them more and helped them resolve some of their relationship issues. And yeah, maybe you did make them regain confidence in themselves and supported them throughout even the most awkwardest dates.
You helped Andrew become less guarded and more comfortable with conversation. He needed it in order to somehow talk to your friend, but instead, it just made him like you more than them.
They don't know him like you do.
Fan and Xie were on the brink of wringing your neck the first time you tried to tell them to regulate their anger and jealousy from showing it openly.
Just bc ur a hunter don't mean you gotta do that-
The only reason you weren't killed in that moment was because you did it in F/n's name. It was incredibly infuriating and difficult, but once you three worked it out to some degree, they found out that your methods calmed them quite a bit.
Without your exercises and guidance, how are they ever gonna go on?
They need you to stay and continue with them.
Once they either burn everything they have that belongs to your friend, or they toss it back into your friends room, your are f u u u c k k e d
When the time comes to confess that they were blinded by your friend and have now opened their eyes to see the your truth, you'll be fucking appalled.
It's probably gonna take a little while before they use force to tell you that now YOU'RE the DARLING.
Reader: You needed to see me Ganji?
Ganji: Yes. There's something I need to talk to you about.
Reader: If it's about F/n and your date, don't worry, I've got it all set up and ready to unfold.
Ganji: No, it's not that.
Reader: Then what? You trying to murder me while you still can to get your anger out or something?
Ganji: ... No
Reader: If it's not about F/n or training, then I'm leaving.
Ganji: No stay, it is about F/n.
Reader: Okay. Spit it out.
Ganji: I've been meaning to tell you this for a while now, but I don't think I have just the right words for it yet. Even then, I can't wait any longer.
Reader: ... Go on.
Ganji: What I'm trying to say is, that, F/n means, lot to you and me, but lately, things have changed.
Reader: What do you mean?
Ganji: *Walks towards you* I mean that, F/n isn't the one I want. They aren't the one I need.
Reader: *tenses up* Then, who?
Ganji: You.
Reader: ...
Reader: If you're trying to fuck with me, it's not working.
Ganji: Why would I try to trick you?
Reader: Um, hello?! Every man here has been chalking up their body counts with mine over the last couple of months. It only stopped when I gave in and started to help yall!
Ganji: But, that was then, and this is now.
Reader: Well I hope it is! Because now, I'm going back to my private room, and leaving this conversation behind. Good night Ganji.
Once this convo happens with at least 4 to 5 guys, you're gonna be crying out of fearrrr
You're friend has been kicked to the curb, and now you've been pushed to the center from the stage wings.
Reader: *sees their friends destroyed things scattered upon their room with a note on their bedside table*
Note: Dear Y/n, It seems you still do not believe me even after our little quarrel, but, do not fret. I've long forgotten about that other survivor. You now fill my mind, and this time, it's true <3
This is evidence of my devotion and affections that are now addressed to you, and only you.
Your forever admirer, Eli Clark
Reader: What. The. Fuck.
Reader: IM SO SCREWED. THIS IS IT. THIS IS KARMA ISN'T IT?! IT'S THE HELL I'VE CREATED FOR MYSELF. BUT STILL, WHYYYYYYYY
Things are gonna get 10x worse lmao
I’ve always despised enemies to lovers since the love in the end never seemed genuine whatsoever- I feel like Reader would constantly assume that they’re either fucking with him, or just gonna kick him to the curb once they find someone new, like they did with his friend.
So it’s just an endless cycle of Reader being scared, angry, confused, and probably sad- assuming that the guys are just lying. Though to them, they really are just in love with Reader- they’ve come to terms with the fact that Reader’s friend honestly wasn’t that good or interesting of a person- they were just blinded by the fact that someone was polite and kind to them for like two seconds.

I'm so curious what mental gymnastics you have to go through to decide ""pr//sh//pping"" is a good thing to align yourself with.
I think the only think they'd ever have going for them is the idea of "don't shit on people for liking something you don't". But also?? You don't have to be a pr//sh//pper to believe that?? And honestly the reason it doesn't work coming from them is because it's usually in conjunction with "fiction doesn't affect reality" which. Girlies I'm sorry but it can. Desensitizing people to fucked up topics can in turn make them more compliant with it or even make them view it as ok. This is coming from someone who was unfortunately dragged into something for a portion of time and honest to god I am so glad I got out of it without becoming a victim. /srs
And now to the thought that made me type this up impulsively. You can be critical of ships and the implications on the person shipping them. To go to the drastic examples there's no fucking way you can tell me to not be critical of someone shipping in//st or the like. But even without being as drastic, I think its really good to be critical of ships between characters who in canon would have a toxic/ abusive relationship and how it may reflect on someone who is romanticizing it. I am going to talk about T//gaf//ka now.
I find utility in using unromanticized T//gaf//ka to cope. Realistic portrayals of their relationship is so fascinating I think you can get so much out of it. I think coping through shit is awesome. That being said I think people making romanticized shit out of it is one of the most triggering things on Earth and I'm sorry if you look at canon/ in-game characterizations and go "Yeah you can have something healthy sprout from that"... What The Fuck???
Byakuya is very much uncomfortable with the attention he gets from Toko in canon. He lashes out at her because of it. Toko has an unhealthy obsession with him, undoubtedly due to trauma and an unhealthy perception of romantic relationships. Aand something something that part in THH where he told her not to speak and she fucking didn't until he told her to again. I am not going to talk about Syo because that's where it's personal heart emoji. <3 I don't wanna delve too much into them; my thoughts could be another whole post on their own.
Anyways, all of what I just said is why I find them to have coping utility. It may not be 1:1, but I have been there. And being there is why I think it can be insanely problematic to ignore all of their canon characteristics/ relationship and go "teehee wlm/mlw ship <3". I don't want people to think blind obsession is romantic (also the issue with shit like the yandere trope but that's out of my area). I don't want people to think persistence towards someone who does not want you will get you them in the end. I can't cover shit that completely rewrites canon but I think if you rewrite an unhealthy relationship to be healthy. Just find new characters to ship. OR LET THEM BE PLATONIC FRIENDS DEAR CHRIST I think Toko and Byakuya growing past what all happened and having a positive relationship is really awesome. It's not something you ever owe to someone you had an unhealthy relationship with and in real life may not be ideal but fiction is still a playground for stuff that may not always be feasible in life. But I think I've made it clear why it's an issue to give them a romantic relationship.
This is so insanely long I'm so sorry I didn't think I had this much in me either. To wrap it up I kinda just can't take pr//sh//pers seriously anymore like ok be in denial abt it I don't have the time to waste on you. But I think it's still important to dish criticism against it that isn't "p//do shit bad" because while that's 100% correct, these fuckers won't acknowledge they're romanticizing abusive relationships, and will just dodge it. Oh the beloathed "I'm not defending that, I just think you shouldn't yell at people for a ship."
Defending any kind of abuse bad you may now like the post.

Happy Halloween!!!
Time to start using tumblr again bc I can't sleep and I just remembered tumblr existed!!!
Exams are tmr and I have to wake up in like 5 hours....😊😊😊😊 I never get this little sleep, very sad.
Anyways!!!!! Rn I think I'm getting back into reading😨😨 not that I wasn't already butt I think I'll be reading more books now instead of just at night time!!
I finished siege and storm 2 days ago and it was kinda crazyyyy.. I feel like sm happened..
There was a bunch of new characters in this book tho and I like it more than the 1st book!! I like nikolai and also tamar and tolya!!! They're all very cool.
Kinda sad genya wasn't in it that much though.. I rly liked her in the 1st book but she was like working with the darkling at the start of this one?! But then he like took her eye out so... yep.
Then.... this book was kinda sad :( mal and alina😡😡😓 always so difficult with them💔💔💔 I like them tho ofc!! But for like 5 whole chapters they were ignoring eachother😭😭😭😭 Then mal was like away 24/7 and getting drunk and alina was getting no sleep bc creepy darkling was Stalking her.. also i hate the darkling smmmm. Like?! Sm.
Uhh OMG then alina told mal why she flinched finally and she was like "I thought you'd be scared of me or smth.." and he was like "..." and then left. Then he came back into the room a while later and they were like making out?! But like.. it was like he was a vampire or smth the way it was written
Then it was actually the DARKLING?!! Bruh
Omg and alinas like confusing me sm. Like at the end she went over to the darkling and was like "ig this is how it's meant to be afterall😕👋😘" then they're like kissing?! Like idk if she's dating mal or what but this is crazyyyyyyy.. and I'm not sure if she's acting or is being genuine. Maybe they said it and I skipped over it too fast but I'm kinda confused how alina feels abt the whole situation. Like.. does she wanna go against the darkling and save ravka or does she wanna join him and be powerful.. IDK. First option probably butt I get soo confused where she's like "I'm hungry I need the bird mal" and idl what I'm saying
But yeah.. then her hair turns white at the end?! New look I guess?! I feel like it'll end up looking pretty cool thoo!! And I hope nikolais alive omg.. also his brother was sooooolo dumb.
And I hope genya is in the 3rd book more 💔💔 also! I bought the 3rd book today!! I'll probably be reading it after the two towers and then after that I can read soc!!! I've been dyingg to read soc. I've had it on my bookshelf since like.. June. Yikes.
I dont know too much abt soc I kinda just know the plot and the characters and stuff but that's abt itttt. But I'm glad I'm reading it in this order bc I'll understand the world better!! Also I kinda wanna post/save content for sab but I rly don't wanna get spoilers so..😓😓
I'll have to wait until I finish ruin and rising igg🙂🙂. Also I think zoya and nikolai end up together?! I see fanart of them on Pinterest. Idk how I feel abt zoya?! I think she has a sad back story and maybe she changes but as of now idk.
She was rly mean in the 1st book but in this one I feel like alina was also mean to her💔💔 idk if that means they're equal now?! But I thought alina was being kinda rude to her. Idk if that's justified by zoya being mean to her in the 1st book 🤷‍♀️ but the convo ended with zoya and she was like "Are you gonna send me away then.." and alina was like "not yet"
I was like Huh?! Maybe I overreacted idk.. writing it down here makes it feel less dramatic than it did when I first read it 😭😭
Also Tolya and tamar!!! Aren't they so cool?! I found out they were apart of the religion thing and I was like... Ok. Idk if it makes much of a difference?? BUT SOME OF THOSE GUYS ARE CRAZYTYYYT... ALINA WENT OUT AND THEY LIKE ATE HER ALIVE. Shocking. They wanna kill their Saint?!?
Ok goodnight... it's like 2am.. I'm still not tired 💔💔 also this post was so long omg. I feel like most of Pinterest is me talking abt random things🤔🤔 I need to start reposting more.. but I don't wanna get spoiled for anything 😭😭 like.. I haven't finished lotr, sab or fma. It's pretty sad🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️ Ok byeE

Edgar Has Always Been Kind of a Bitch
hi okay so it's a little after midnight but I'm posting a fic rn bc it's the first fic I've written in like,, a yr and a half and also I'm rlly excited abt it??
anyway battle buddies/fahc jeremwood angst based on ramblings in a gc
(warning for minor assault implications at the beginning, and brief mentions of a suicide attempt at the end)!!!
Fiona and Gavin decide that what Jeremy needs is a night of bevs, and, to put it simply, get wasted, so the crew settles on going to a club that Friday. Jeremy only has one or two drinks, but boy does he get fucked up.
Ryan’s sitting and talking with Geoff and Jack in a booth, sipping a diet coke. He looks over Jack’s shoulder to see Jeremy standing at the bar with a much taller, more intimidating man looming over him. The guy reaches out toward Jeremy, who leans away from the touch. Jeremy nervously laughs and his eyes frantically dart around for someone, anyone who might be able to help him.
“Hello? Earth to Ryan?” Jack waves her hand in front of Ryan’s face.
“Oh, yeah. Yeah. sorry. Hey, um, I’m gonna go home, I’m just not really feeling great,” Ryan murmurs as he slides out of the booth, already heading toward Jeremy.
“Um, alright, I guess? Drive safe,” Jack calls after him.
Ryan speeds up when he sees the man grab Jeremy’s arm. Jeremy’s face flipped through a thousand emotions at once when he saw Ryan approaching, but eventually landed on confused but grateful. He gave Jeremy a look that said just go with what I’m about to say.
“Hey, babe,” Ryan says. The man immediately drops his grip on Jeremy’s arm. Jeremy does his best not to choke on his own spit when he hears the word babe come out of Ryan’s mouth. He hadn’t heard it in so long, and he didn’t think it would still hurt so much.
“Oh, hey!” Jeremy turns to Ryan and reaches up to peck him on the lips. “Where’d Edgar go? It’s his birthday, I figured he would wanna hang out with his friends!”
Fuck. Mentioning something about their friend ‘Edgar’ was always code for I don’t feel good about this, let’s leave. Edgar’s birthday meant I’m having a panic attack, I need your help. Ryan wanted to punch the guy that was practically feeling Jeremy up. No—he wanted to fucking kill that bastard. He and Jeremy may have had a severe falling out, they may have suffered years of heartache and longing, but he still felt responsible to make sure Jeremy was safe.
“He said he kinda wanted to go home. He went to the bathroom while I found you. You, uh, just about ready?” Ryan’s eyes flitted between Jeremy and the other man, who cleared his throat and mumbled something about needing to go find his friends before walking off.
Jeremy and Ryan both sigh in relief once he’s gone.
“Wanna head outside for some fresh air for a minute?” Ryan asks, getting a meek, obviously shaken-up nod in return.
Jeremy says something that Ryan can’t quite hear over the music as they walk outside.
��Hm?”
“Oh, nothing. It was dumb.” Jeremy shakes his head. Ryan has had enough experience to know that it was better to just leave it alone. They both wordlessly come to a stop and lean against the wall of the building a few yards from the door. Almost as if they had been working as partners for years. They spend a few minutes saying nothing, watching people on the street, looking at the stars in the sky. Ryan can’t help but study the intricacies of Jeremy, realizing that so many things have changed, but somehow almost nothing about him is different. Jeremy’s hair is just a tad bit more grown out than it ever was at the agency (also, it’s bright purple and orange, which is not exactly the most appealing color combination, but that’s a topic for another day), but he still runs his hands through it when he’s lost in thought. It’s curlier than it used to be, but maybe that’s just because it’s longer. He still clenches his jaw so hard it seems like he’s going to break his teeth when he’s scared. He still wears a tank top under his shirt, no matter how hot it is outside. His eyes still crinkle at the corners when he lets out a bark of laughter that Ryan still swears up and down sounds exactly like a squeaky toy. He’s changed, though. Ryan can see in his eyes that he’s become aware of reality. He knows the responsibility he carries, the heavy consequences that come with his actions, that death is around the corner at every moment.
“D’you- d’you want me to take you home?” Ryan says barely above a whisper, but loud enough for Jeremy to hear. “You can go back inside if you want, but I know you always used to want to go home and be alone after Edgar shows up.” Jeremy lets out the tiniest breathy chuckle.
“Edgar has always been kind of a bitch, hasn’t he?” Jeremy says as he looks away from the sky to meet Ryan’s gaze, and his heart falls apart all over again for the thousandth time. That fond look of reminiscence and joy was one Ryan donned frequently at the agency. “I- Yeah. yeah. I’d really appreciate a ride home. I’m just a little too drunk to drive, I think.”
“Alright. I parked just down the street. Penthouse or your apartment?” Ryan hadn’t even noticed that Jeremy did seem somewhat tipsy; his Boston accent slipping in occasionally and his words slurring the tiniest bit.
“Um, apartment,” Jeremy says. “D’you rem-”
“Yes, I remember where your apartment is, Jeremy.”
It’s only a few minutes into the drive to the other side of town when Jeremy pipes up. “I honestly didn’t really expect you to help me. I didn’t expect you to remember Edgar, either. I dunno why I said it, I guess just vaguely hoping you would even though it’s been, what, three years?” he pauses for a moment and just takes in Ryan's profile. “I always hope you remember things from then. I know it went to shit, but we still had so much fun. We made so many memories and did so much dumb shit there. But I’m glad that stupid fuckin’ place collapsed. All of it was complete bullshit. I just wish it all fell apart before we did.”
Ryan doesn’t know how to respond. So he doesn’t.
“All those meetings I had to stay late for? Fuckin’ useless. They served no purpose, and I don't know why I was forced to go to them. I feel like the only reason I had to go to those meetings was because someone was hiding something from me. It was obvious that so many things were kept from us.” Jeremy stops for a second to try to will away the lump rising in his throat. “I thought you were cheating on me. For the longest time. I still don’t know whether you actually were. You were always out on ‘special missions’ and shit.”
The moment Ryan hears Jeremy let out a shaky breath his heart breaks.
“Was it me? Was I not good enough? I promise I tried my hardest to be what you needed. I’m sorry if I wasn’t. All I wanted was the best for you, Ryan. Even now, I just want you to be happy. If you're happier with someone else, then that’s what I want. I don’t blame you, though. I don’t deserve someone like you. You deserve so much better than me. I would do anything for you, Rye. We were together for so long. We did everything together! I thought I was gonna marry you. I was saving up money to get a ring. I guess I was too stupid to see that you didn’t want me anymore.”
Ryan looks over to see the tears staining Jeremy’s cheeks reflecting the soft orange glow of the streetlamps. Is this really what Jeremy thinks?
“I was so in love with you, Ryan Haywood. I’m- I’m still in love with you. I love you so goddamn much it hurts sometimes. Every time I see you hurt, upset, angry, anything other than healthy and happy my heart aches. I’m sorry I wasn't enough. I promise I tried. Fuck, I tried so hard.”
With every sob Jeremy lets out, Ryan's heart breaks just a little bit more. The short distance left until Ryan pulls up to Jeremy’s apartment building is spent wordlessly. Jeremy’s clambering out of the car and reaching to grab the door when Ryan speaks.
“Hey, Jer, do you want me to walk you up? I just want to make sure you’re safe.”
“No. I’m fine. I’ll be fine. I’ve already been a pain in your ass tonight, I don't need to waste even more of your time. I’m sorry. I’m sorry about everything.” Jeremy sniffles and wipes his cheeks, giving a half-hearted smile before shutting the door and walking away.
Ryan sits there for a second, unable to process fully what he just heard. He starts driving without even knowing where he was going, and he’s so lost in his thoughts that suddenly he’s sitting in his car in front of the boardwalk along the beach and crying. He can’t believe anything he was just told—there is no way in hell that the brilliant, witty, talented Jeremy Dooley ever doubts his worth. It’s jarring to think that part of it was because of Ryan. He was going on extra missions because the agency was growing more and more demanding. For months they tormented Ryan with the threat of kicking out Jeremy. They said they’d do other things to him that Ryan doesn’t want to remember. Why did Jeremy never bring it up? Why did he just accept that Ryan had ‘moved on?’ Their lives were so intertwined with one another that Ryan never felt truly whole again. The only reason Ryan went with the break up was that he saw how distant and cold Jeremy had gotten. Ryan had assumed that, for whatever reason, Jeremy had changed his mind. He hated it, he was devastated, but he didn't know how to fix it.
Ryan decides he doesn’t want to go back to the penthouse tonight. He pulls up to the nearest crew safehouse, and suddenly things click.
Jeremy had always struggled with bad self-image and depression. He had gone to Ryan for comfort, which he was always more than willing to give. Jeremy was doing better. At least he told Ryan he was.
Jack had mentioned a while ago that when Jeremy first joined the crew, she had found him after a suicide attempt and barely left his side until he recovered. The only reason for it Jack had told Ryan about was ‘emotional trauma from a past relationship, that he didn’t really want to talk about.’
Ryan did that to him.
Ryan did that to him.
Ryan made the love of his life want to die.
The pieces left of his heart fall into more shards than there are grains of sand in this world.
He collapses onto the couch inside, too exhausted to even get to the bed. He knows he’s not going to be able to sleep, though.
To: Geoff
Dropped Jeremy off at his place, he was pretty drunk though so check on him please
To: Geoff
I’m staying at kung fu safehouse for the night

i'm going through some rough stuff atm and i've been feeling pretty bad for a while, but the shark puppy au made me smile for the first time in days. thank you so much, to you and to all of the people contributing to it. you made someone's day a lot more bearable
first off, i’m so sorry you’ve been having a hard time recently! i feel that a lil deeply, rip, but i’m sending you all the vibes and care i can, and i really hope things shift for you, because that’s an awful way to feel, but i am so, so happy that anything we did or said today/last night made anything a little easier for you 💕it’s nearly 3am and i have work again in the morning (fucking rip) but i thought i’d put some more shark puppy stuff out there in the hopes it might make tomorrow a little easier for you too!
so this morning before work i answered an ask abt shark puppy and was talking in the tags abt patstanlon (essentially just. thinking abt how to execute it)
and so tonight once i was finally home from work i was talking to a few of the others abt it and @benverlesbians brought up patty’s BA and also how in the book she says bill isn’t a real writer bc he’s a novelist (tangent but i just went back to read the start of that chapter and a, ouch, but b, “Stanley drove a Mercedes diesel—teasing him, she called it Sedanley” this will never not make my heart yell) and that led jem to the conclusion that patty thinks real writing is either non-fiction or non-prose, i.e., journalist or poet
we settled on journalist for her career, but she has a background in poetry from college
@benverlesbians: “patty and mike are like “we both got BAs in english and we are both perfect human beings” and they are correct”
anyway this interview takes place after the Scathing Review from the Conservative Magazine (after richie’s bi ass jeans)
jem posited that bev’s rly protective of the band (and herself, ofc herself, and why wouldn’t she be) and tends to like, vet the interviewers pretty hard, bc she has to be sure she can trust them with their words and their image
and then we were thinking abt how that’s interesting bc like. patty probably isn’t super overt on social media (certainly not just showing her whole self on there, miss ‘wouldn’t admit to thinking richard dawson’s watch chain was sexy if wild horses tried to drag it out of her’), which is like. frustrating for bev’s purposes, but also… kinda relatable? and bev can respect it, on an intellectual and empathetic level, even if it’s annoying that it runs counter to her purposes (but there’s also—-part of bev thinks maybe, someone who can be private with themselves can have some integrity with others, but then there’s another part of her, those self-preservation instincts honed from years of not being able to trust… men specifically, but it’s made all trust harder now, and that part is wary, hard-pressed to give people the benefit of the doubt, not when it comes to her and her friends)
jemma: “bev is like “why don’t you have instagram” and patty’s like “this isnt you interviewing me, this is me interviewing you. please pass the maple syrup, my pancakes are dry as fuck"”
(it starts at a kitschy diner (jem’s idea) bc like, well, there are seven of them. like. that’s too many. but they’re probs not all at the diner, maybe just bev, stan, mike & eddie (deliberate choices from bev, given how she couldn’t find too much on patty—-some good testimonials that convinced her to give the interview anyway, even if patty works for a buzzfeet analogue, bev has less personal hang-ups with them than stan does, even though she loyally disavows them with him—-and she trusts stan and mike to hold their own, and while eddie can be a wild card (it’s not wild, she thinks, not really, because it doesn’t come out of nowhere. it’s just that he’s brave and good and loyal and principled, like he’d have her back, have all of their backs, and wouldn’t let anything slide he wasn’t okay with), she’d rather have that inability to back down at her side when their words and image are on the line than some of the impulsive nonsense richie and bill pull, and ben has a tendency to be too earnest, too quick, and if bev wants to be careful, be sure, before exposing ben’s heart and sentiment and big fucking eyes to that, well, sue her) but then patty is interviewing them, and she’s thoughtful, questioning without being probing, framing things in interesting ways that keeps them talking, keeps them interested, and bev’s already halfway to inviting patty back to the clubhouse (their studio) where the others are when stan, like, references some swedish poet whose translated works he was reading when he and mike wrote one of their songs, and patty, like, gets it? and works tomas tranströmer into her next question, and stan’s expression is just. and he glances at mike, and mike grins (bev doesn’t even know why stan bothered. mike’s clearly thought well of patty the entire time), and stan cocks an eyebrow at bev, and she almost can’t believe it, bc since when does stan ever want to allow interviewers more access? but it’s stan, and he never asks, and so of course she turns to patty, and asks: “got a couple more hours?”)
@chaoticbisexualalien: “pre-meeting stan journalist!pat on twitter giving their album a four-star review but singling him out as exceptional and then a bitter fan is like "oh did he eat you out for that review” and she’s like “I would have given them five stars for that"”
@striffyisme: “omg,,,, the fans start calling her Petty Patty for her excellent clap backs”
britt: “stan sees it and doesn’t get involved directly because he doesn’t want to fan the flames but he admires her from afar and then later on he finds out that she’s interviewing the band and he’s like ”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“ inside”
alex: “stan, instantly in love and adoring from afar, patty falling for him as she gets to know him, everyone outside the band thinking it was the other way around lmao”
which, yeah, bc when the others catch on, they realise… patty working for a b/zzfeet analogue isn’t a speed bump for patstanlon to overcome, but rather just something stan was holding onto as like, a reminder to himself that ‘objectively she’s not perfect, and the only perfect person in this world is probably mike hanlon, be quiet rich’ but he’s wrong! she’s perfect too! he knows two perfect people! and by the time she’s gotten a job offer for her frankly thoroughly fucking excellent article abt shark puppy and has quit her job at the buzzfeet analogue, he’s pretty much forgotten about that hang-up until she’s like, “god i’m glad i have an actual adult workplace now” and mike laughs and stan feels his heart grow three sizes in his chest
@dykeeddie: “Okay I’m just gonna say it if she’s working at a b*zzfeed analogue for any period of timeShark Puppy Styles Me For A Week… there are 7 of them it’s the only way”
anyway the article is fucking bomb, everyone stan patty blum, and it blows the conservative scathing review sky high into a void of irrelevance
(at the clubhouse, patty makes such an expression at one of bill’s lyrics that richie actually chokes on his coke from laughter)

(1/11)Oh my gosh yesss I'm glad that you like long messages too because I talk way too much 😂 (And yeah about my friend and just hanging out w/ her more that's exactly what I was thinking 😂) It's actually kind of funny bc just yesterday I was hanging out at her house and her younger brother needed to go to Walmart and I was like 'I've been meaning to go to Walmart, I'll take you' and ofc since I have a bluetooth radio adapter the whole drive I had my Spotify going with some quality k-bops, lol
2)And as we were driving I noticed him kind of jamming and I was like 'Oh my god Mickey do you actually like this???' And he was Like 'yeah, these are some good bops 👍' I was shooketh. I had to go home before I had the chance to show him any music videos but he says he's open to watching some with me next time I see him. One way or another I'm going to turn someone in my social circle into a kpop fan you mark my words ☝ and then maybe we can team up and try to work on his sister some more 😂
3)I only started first getting into kpop last June so I'm still very new, but it's definitely super frustrating how so many ppl act like it's an inherently bad or cringey genre of music just bc it's kpop! The stigma is ridiculous! I also started out with BTS (lol) and since they're pretty popular in the US at least I was able to be like 'See, this isn't just a niche thing, lots of people know abt and like this group' but of course my dad still says 'Just cause it's popular doesn't make it good'
4)And I'm like? You're a band teacher, you of all people should understand that music doesn't have to be in your native language (or even have lyrics) in order for you to enjoy it, but go off I guess... It's the same with one of my college friends. They make fun of me for liking kpop but this is coming from some who still treats March 22nd (the day My Chemical Romance broke up) as a day of mourning. Like, no tea no shade no pink lemonade, MCR was a good band nothing wrong with liking them.
5)But like if you're 22 and you still haven't grown out of your emo phase do you really have room to pick on other people for their music taste?  🤷 Anyway that's the person who follows my main that I didn't want to know I had a kpop sb. I think I made it around July. Tbh it was pretty dead for most of 2018. But like I said I've started using it way more since I recently revealed that it exists, lol. Especially since that good good Astro cb 👏💗😩 But honestly Astro is such a blessing
6)Idk how I lived so long w/o them. When I first got into kpop I was planning on just sticking to BTS since the reaction to me being into kpop was so volatile. I was like 'I'm only into one group, ppl already are negative about me liking kpop so I'm just gonna stick to this and not become a full on multifandom fan' and then in Nov I accidentally let myself fall in love with Monsta X and that plan was foiled. And realizing I wasn't gonna be able to stick to just one anymore opened the floodgates
7)And I was like okay in that case, let's just start getting into *all groups* Lol. My story of getting into Astro was actually bc of my best friend's roommate (can you tell I have like one friend and my whole social circle kinda revolves around her? Lol) so this roommate when she heard me being sad about having no kpop friends was like 'oh hey, I'm kinda into kpop' and it turns out she didn't like very many groups and was one of the ppl who blah blah BTS is overrated, which ya know isn't ideal8)But I was just really desperate to have someone to talk about kpop with. And Astro was her favorite so I was like, okay I'll get into them so that I have something to talk about with her! So I started watching some videos and I fell in love with them pretty much instantly! And I was real excited bc #1 now I can talk about kpop with someone! And #2 this group is actually amazing? Bonus! ... And then they got in a big fight about their living conditions and the roommate ended up moving out RIP
9)So that didn't work out, lol (Your story about finding them during that internship sounds amazing though! Haha) But yeah, so this is my first cb too! And although I love them w/ my whole heart and would have loved to have them in my life even sooner what an amazing cb to be your first! The concept was wonderful, the album was excellent, the visuals were to *die* for. They worked so hard and I'm so proud of them and I'm so happy we got to see their work come to fruition and get them a win 🤧🤧
10)The dance practices though? You're so right omg 💗 Me and my Rocky bias *fully* understand 😂 All of them are such good dancers?? I never fail to be impressed. Of course you know who I always end up watching tho 👀 lol (̶i̶f̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶h̶a̶l̶f̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶R̶o̶c̶k̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶o̶t̶w̶o̶r̶k̶ ̶I̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶a̶l̶m̶o̶s̶t̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶a̶s̶ ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶s̶.̶.̶.̶)̶ ̶ I also love how at the end they always pause all dramatic for a minute and then start screaming 😂
11)It's like? Amazing talent *and* dorky personalities? What more could you ask for? Lol. In regard to your last question though Unfortunately I also won't be able to see them 😔 I live in the smack middle of the US and since they're only going to coasts all of the venues are way too far away to get to. Esp since it's the school year and I can't skip class to drive cross country for a concert much as I'd like to (Holy lord I talked over twice as much?? Why am I like this?) Talk again soon! -ASA
Okay SO I’m very sorry I haven’t had the time to answer everything until now bc I’ve been busy studying for midterms and also I was a lil trashy today since my uni closed bc of freezing rain so I slept in but I’m glad that FINALLY everything got sent like damn tumblr you really don’t want us making friends huh. 
Yessssss I love the feeling of seeing someone else also get into the same interests! I’ve been pretty lucky in the sense that I grew up around mostly other asian americans, so kpop was never something that was considered super “weird,” like some people were into it and some weren’t but even if you weren���t you still would’ve been familiar with the more popular groups from when you were younger. Even now, I have a bunch of friends also into kpop (one of them is even my roommate) so tbh I was definitely the one in my friend group late to the party aha. Even my university hosts kpop nights at our bar and I’m pretty sure we have a kpop dance team as well? So tbh if I met someone new there’s probably like a 50% chance they’re into kpop or at least listen casually. 
Tbh I used to be a little bit judgy too but moreso because of the obscene amount of money I’ve seen some of my friends spend (no joke one of my friends has spent probably like $500+ on Loona stuff in the past month and a half and another friend bought like 5 copies of the same album for herself like damn idk how do you have that much money).
I also really don’t like it when people bash other people’s music tastes, since I feel like it’s something so personal? Idk but for a long time I used to be really self conscious about sharing my music with other people and even now I feel like that sometimes. For me after getting into BTS I kind of expected to get really into other groups since I was in Korea anyway and I was already listening to a lot of other artists casually. For me it started with NU’EST (fell for them immediately at the same concert that I saw Astro at) and then after was Astro, and then I just started slowly getting into other groups after that (even though I haven’t totally been able to get into Got7′s music they’re SO funny and I just kinda fell for their personalities  you know). 
I honestly think that they did such a wonderful job with this comeback too! I like seeing their concept evolve and mature but they’re not straying too far from their original cute concept so I feel like it’s a nice middle ground that’s very unique to them, you feel? Also I feel like the visuals especially and the execution of the whole plant concept was just done so well?? Even my friend who’s not in kpop was like “k idk who they are but that was the prettiest music video I’ve ever seen”. What are your favourite eras and songs? For me I’d have to say either the Spring Up or Baby era BUT right now my favourite song is probably Again/Should’ve Held On though tbh my mood and my tastes change like every few weeks loool. 
I have no idea why I tend to be most attracted to the dances rather than vocals or rap (maybe has to do with the fact that it’s something I’ve always wished I could do but have always been bad at lmao). But Astro’s stood out to me for the exact same reason! I just thought it was so funny seeing them all break character at the end because you really get to see how hard their choreos are and you get a glimpse of their personalities like damn, how can you not stan these dummies?
That’s really unfortunate that you won’t get to see them either :/ They’re also coming to the closest city to me but it’s on a Tuesday, but I *hypothetically* looked up flight prices and tried to see if I could get away with just missing a day of classes if I flew back in the middle of the night since I have some friends who did the same thing and drove down to Buffalo but I seem to have underestimated the size of New York State LMAO. But apparently my university’s too far from the airport so it’s “not realistic” (and also I’m hella broke from travelling to Taiwan and Japan while I was in Korea but that’s a minor issue ig). I hope we do both get a chance to see them live though! Who knows, after the success of this comeback I’m expecting a lot more cbs and world tours out of them ;)
