so cool going through these dead tumblr urls. mostly they bring me to the “there’s nothing here” page, but sometimes i get teleported to a completely blank blog that only has one post: a paragraph about forklifts, written in french.

Hi Anon,

Story Time

Some years back, I moved to the US for work. I'd learned English at a young age, lived and worked with English-speakers and thought myself to be very fluent. Anyway, one day I had a business proposal put in front of my desk. I won't explain what exactly the product was, but the long and short of it is that at some point during the brainstorming session, "two girls one xyz" became the catchiest, most fitting tagline. My team had a good mix of old and young people who came from diverse backgrounds. We could all speak English and considered ourselves well versed in slang, but nobody in the team caught the reference until 2 weeks before launch, when in one of the campaigns, it sounded like "two girls one cup".

Now, for anyone who doesn't know what that phrase is, don't bother googling it. The gist is, I quickly learned that in America, you never say "two girls one cup". At least not in public. Everywhere else, this line doesn't mean anything, but in America and certain online communities, it means everything. By the time we found out, it was too late to revamp the campaign to change it, so we instead tweaked it to become a bit quirkier so those who caught the reference won't be totally put off by it. And overall the project was a success and caught on well in Germany, Poland and the UK, but if we didn't catch that reference in time, the campaign would've been a disaster. The way we caught the reference was someone outside the team, a local American, who immediately flagged it the minute he saw it in our outlook report. All of us fluent English-speakers had some vague idea of the various ways the campaign would look and sound, but nobody attached the meaning of "two girls one cup" to it.

And so, maybe that's why I buy the explanation offered by Ador. I can very easily see how an English professor at a Korean university, a couple of Scandinavian songwriters, and one Korean DJ, wouldn't know a Eurocentric slang interpretation of an innocuous English word. Because I myself, the first time I heard Cookie, didn't get any sexual undertones or innuendos. The song honestly just seemed cute to me… the puns in Korean were cute. Also, “taste it, smell it, bake it…” for Korean sweets and desserts, all that isn't odd to say. I mean, people here plan their whole days around trying out a new café and savouring a new sweet on the menu like it's a life-changing experience. It's fun and cute to attach that level of attention and importance to your sweets. The connection with CDs was obvious at first glance too (the CDs are huge in the MV so it's hard to miss), and given what I would call the ‘café culture’ in Korea, the play on words in Cookie seemed honest to God adorable, and a lot of my Korean friends and family (the few who listen to k-pop) felt the same. It probably sounds like I'm reaching here but overall I didn't think this was a big deal anyway.

International k-pop stans felt differently, but k-pop stans in general are easy to rile up, and even if Ador indeed had some ulterior motive, either way I don't really care.

I don't care for the same reason I don't care that Beyonce used the 'spazz' slang in her song, for the same reason I don't care Chaeyoung from Twice went around the US in a Q-Anon/nazi t-shirt, for the same reason I don't care about XG saying they've got 'opps', for the same reason I don't care that Mamamoo/Shinee have done black/brownface and never apologized for it, for the same reason I don't care that Florence Welch is apparently a Satanist, for the same reason I don't care Bang PD is likely fucking someone half his age...

And so on.

It's not because I don't understand the implications of all these issues, but the standard applied in stan twt for what is considered 'problematic' and 'cancellable' doesn't impact how I feel about music and the artists. I decide all that for myself.

And I like Cookie and NewJeans.

Dollar Bin #29:

Stevie Nick's Bella Donna

Stevie Nicks got zero favors from the patriarchal press or culture in the late 80's and early 90's. Much like Yoko Ono, she was the butt of sexist jokes and unfair critique that their male peers were never subjected to.

Let's compare Nicks and Stephen Tyler: both came of age in the mid-seventies; both fronted huge rock bands and both almost always appeared on stage without an instrument (even though they were hugely successful songwriters); both had major drug problems and overcame them; both were good looking young people who, unlike me, aged (seriously, people speak of me, always in hushed tones: how does he stay so young, they ask. Who else carries their paunch and bald spot with such panache?). Both had a thing for waiving silks around on stage. We could go on all day...

But did they get equal treatment? Hell no. Tyler was a hero for surviving drugs; I grew up cackling about the legendary destruction of Nick's nose from coke. Tyler became even more of a sex symbol as he aged and he dominated MTV in the late 80s and early 90s; Nicks, like Linda Ronstadt, was judged by one and all the moment she no longer looked 22, and Nicks couldn't get on MTV after 86 until Beyonce borrowed her iconic riff from Edge of Seventeen and insisted she show up to take credit:

(That's Nicks with the guitar in the opening moments of this ridiculous and joyful video, showing us that, of course, she can play instruments: how else could she have written a few of the most popular songs of all time?)

But let's stop comparing Nicks and Tyler and never bring up Aerosmith in this blog again: after all, Nicks is a transcendent song writer and singer while Stephen Tyler occupies the rarrified air of pure suckiness inhabited by all famous rock stars named Stephen.

And that brings us to Nicks's debut solo album, Bella Donna. First off, good luck finding this record in a dollar bin: much like her friend Tom Petty, Nicks is rightfully revered by her fans, many of whom were not around to buy her first records when they came out. Plus, my almost famous niece tells me that some dude drank some juice while on a skateboard a few years back with Nicks's Dreams as the soundtrack and, in doing so, destroyed the internet. That previous sentence tells me the internet and people are dumb. Don't go and google the guy on the skateboard; rather check out my niece!

Sweet song huh? Why isn't it destroying the internet instead?

Anyway, apparently the guy on the skateboard, and junk like that, are why busted up copies of Rumors went from dollar bin cloggers to $25 a pop in the last few years. I hope Stevie enjoyed and benefited from the slight renaissance of interest in her work; and, if you don't already own a copy of Bella Donna, know that some teenager without a working record player probably beat you to it.

Which is all a bummer, because Bella Donna deserves your full respect and attention. It's a great, and I think still largely overlooked, testament to her singing, songwriting and entire vibe.

The record opens with the title track, a complex and extended slow piece of soulful searching which summons up the opening gesture pioneered by The Band a decade earlier with Tears of Rage. Nicks is famous for her pop singles, but that genre is really the business of her bandmate Christie McVie; Nicks is a composer of songs, not hits.

You can also hear right off the bat in Bella Donna that Nicks has assembled the right band. Imagine being in position to borrow Benmont Tench from the Heartbreakers, Roy Bittan from Bruuuuce and Waddy Watchel from Linda Ronstadt and Warren Zevon. Tench had no real business joining in - TP and the Heartbreakers were at the height of their fame and were touring nonstop - but he somehow found the time to step right in and lead the whole band. The other two dudes were conveniently available, at least for the moment. Bruuuuuuce was forever firing the E Street Band and was gearing up to make Nebraska on his own, and Linda was starting to move away from pop music for the first of many times; soon she'd be singing light opera with a young Kevin Kline.

Bella Donna is held together, however, not by the men but by the women. Nicks created the whole record through 2+ years of work with Sharon Celani and her soon-to-be sister-in-law Lori Perry. Every song features all three of them shimmering and gliding about one another and Nicks has been singing with the two women - and putting their photos alongside her on her records - ever since. Here's the way Nicks described their work and relationship to "The Last DJ" himself, Jim Ladd, a guy I listened to a lot as a kid:

Sharon [Celani] and Lori [Perry-Nicks] and I have a special thing that we have ~ that we have perfected ~- and we have perfected it by sitting around the piano... I'm not going to go sing on-stage alone. I don't want to. I want to be able to walk away and let them take it. Because I ~ there is nothing in the world that I would rather hear than beautiful singing. And so I have worked to get a sound that is not like anybody else. That is really beautiful, that is strong and that is like dedicated and devoted.

Jim Ladd just passed away; I hope he had Petty's mediocre album about him playing at full blast as he faded. As an LA kid I tuned into Ladd every night in late middle school and early high school, beginning to give up on him only when I decided that Roger Waters, Jim's favorite artist by far, was the problem with all things Pink Floyd from Animals onward. I had a few pretty sharp ideas as a kid!

I remember vividly the very last time I listened to Ladd: I was at the mall for some reason, in the parking lot, and Ladd had his hands on an advanced copy of U2's Zooropa. Ladd played us all Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car, a song which he'd chosen by himself at random - the album was so new he hadn't had time to listen to it yet. Ladd thought the dull and overblown track was a triumph; he'd lose his head on occasion. I disagreed. And so we parted ways. Rest in peace Jim. But I digress!

Every song on Bella Donna shows careful polish and intention. A few tracks, like the instantly hummable, McVie inspired Think About It and the Waylon Jennings inspired Leather and Lace, are tracks Nicks had held onto all through Fleetwood's golden era; this was a record she'd built up to over years.

Indeed, Nicks could have easily turned Bella Donna into a defiant double album, an All-Things-Must-Pass-level declaration that the Mac held her back. Bella Donna contains zero filler and several of the songs left off the record are a big deal. Just take a listen to Gold and Braid, an outtake that other artists would have released as the first single; there's a studio take but it's a bit rough. Listen instead to the pulsating, hip swinging live greatness from the brief tour that followed the record:

Jimmie Iovine, Nicks' producer and partner at the time, made a few key contributions to the record. And he seems to have gotten in the way a bit.

Yes, he connected Nicks to Tom Petty and hand delivered the album's substitute single in place of Gold and Braid, Petty's Stop Dragging My Heart Around. The song is great, sure, but it's the only song Nicks didn't write on the record and it stands apart sonically from everything else, all of which led to the troubling myth about Nicks from her Fleetwood work - that she was best as a karaoke/girl singer, good at showing up for nothing but the vocal polish long after the male musicians had done writing, playing and heavy lifting - following her into the birth of her solo career. The truth is far different: Nicks conceived all of Bella Donna on her own. Everything, that is, except the Petty track.

Iovine pushed Stop Dragging My Heart Around on Nicks specifically because he felt the album lacked a single. But take a fresh listen to the track alongside Gold and Braid, and consider my argument that the record would have been even bolder and better with Nick's track remaining in place instead of Petty's inclusion.

Don't get me wrong, Iovine was right to bring Nicks into Stop Dragging My Heart Around. Stevie sings with TP better than any other human on the planet could have. But Dragging belongs, alongside Petty and Nick's incomparable Insider, on Hard Promises.

The craziest thing of all is that Iovine thought Bella Donna lacked a single to begin with. After all, Edge of Seventeen is on this record. The song is pretty ubiquitous: I feel like I've heard its riff and chorus at every sporting event I've ever been to. Obviously, I haven't, but it's one of those songs that its hard to imagine the world without.

And let's close this out with her live performance of that song from her far too brief tour in 82. Find me a more powerful and soulful performance by any white person. All of Nick's male peers, from Lindsey Buckingham to Van Morrison to Neil Young to Petty himself - would have fallen flat on their face had they tried to do anything this complicated, athletic and surging on stage at that point (make that ever). Stephen Stills would have somehow managed to fall on his face and ass simultaneously.

OOO Baby. Oooo Baby. OOOOO.

And so, as this first partial year in the Dollar Bin rolls towards closure, may all praise raineth down upon Stevie.

My record melting/Neil Young questioning, big deal friend Greg points out that Nicks, Stephen Tyler and Stephen Stills have yet another thing in common: they all practically have the same first name!

And so let me amend my earlier, definitive statement regarding the suckiness of musicians with that moniker (and redeem the unintentionally slighted Stevie Wonder and Cat Stevens in the process) with a bumper sticker ready (so long as your car is WIDE LOAD width) pronouncement: The Dollar Bin hereby proclaims that all WHITE MALE musicians with FIRST names derived from Steve/Stephen, (except, most of the time time, Steve Earle..) suck.

Here's looking at you Steve Miller! My curses upon thee Steve Vai!

So I had a thought about Love in the Air. I saw a comment stating that it doesn't really seem to have a driving plot so far, and I don't disagree. Based on the first four episodes there's no driving plot for the series, it's kind of just a small snapshot of these characters falling in love. But scrolling TT the other day I caught a video discussing how booktok discusses books, and the jargon used there, that's fairly specific to that group. You'll see similarities with fanfiction communities, we're all still reading, but there's a recognized language that directly associates with fanfiction, but generally not other written work. But circling back to my point, one of her points made was that when discussing books with other readers you might describe a book as character driven or plot driven. I think Love in the Air falls into the character driven category.

There's no overarching plot/conflict, it's the characters driving the story, and even four episodes in we've seen growth with Rain. For all his teasing Payu knows that Rain isn't dumb, just immature. He wouldn't have gotten into the faculty he's in without a good deal of talent, intelligence, and hard work. And when Rain messes up, Payu comforts but doesn't coddle him. He lets him know that he knows he's capable and he expects him to put in the effort. He also quietly encourages him, after seeing that confidence is something Rain struggles with. I'm hopeful that we'll see more growth as the season goes on.

I can't speak to Sky's romance yet, as that apparently doesn't gear up for a few more episodes, but I do think if they kind of continue in this vein of these characters that are different, but still well-matched growing together (which is what's needed for a long-term relationship, you either grow together or grow apart) then I'll feel the show is success.

I love a deep, meaningful show, but I also love a fluffier show. All media has value, and one of the things I enjoy about many BL dramas is that they give representation without a regular focus on the trauma that the community deals with. There's certainly some work to be done on making the entertainment industry and companies producing BL dramas into a healthier place, particularly for the stars, and I do wish more of the actors were openly out (if they are part of the queer community) but I know there's safety concerns there. Anyways...I'm interested in your thoughts around this, though we'll certainly need the whole season before we can reach true conclusions.

@lutawolf I couldn't get it out of my head. :D And I needed something good after the absolute clusterfuck this weekend with book two 'spoilers' and author bullshit. I swear I hope BOC knows better than to let any of that shit happen in season 2.

Okay...so I've seen some discourse around the interwebs of people angry at Rain for giving Prapai the keys to Sky's apartment and asking him to take care of him, including saying the Rain is a terrible friend for crossing Sky's boundaries like this. And I feel like people are being a little harsh. Rain can occasionally be a bit of a dummy, yes, but he is a kind and protective person. I feel like there's this assumption that the only contact or interaction that Rain and Prapai have ever had is what we've seen onscreen, and really that's unlikely. If Prapai and Payu are best friends, Rain would have a lot more interaction than what we've seen. Rain also knows that Payu trusts Prapai. Rain is basing his trust partially on Payu's opinion and friendship with Prapai. He also knows that Prapai likes Sky, the same way that Payu likes Rain, so for him he can't see Prapai treating or caring for Sky any different from what he has experienced in the care of Payu. Even with the trust he's placing in Prapai he clearly impresses on him "I'm trusting you with my best friend, do not break that trust", before giving him the keys.

I'm not going to argue that he's not crossing boundaries, but those boundaries are an assumption made by the audience. Sky has never even hinted to Rain about his past trauma, the fact the Rain didn't even know his ex was a man shows that. Sky being closed off even from Rain is the reason he doesn't know. Sky being even moderately open, just giving Rain the most base level, and saying "I'm not in a place to deal with Prapai ever" would likely have been all it took. Rain would have figured something else out.

But I don't think Rain is a bad friend, he's just naive, and he's also not given a lot of opportunity to show what type of friend he is because of their dynamic, Sky being more mature and Rain being a little more wild/immature.

My #1 post of 2022

I'm rewatching Love in the Air, because of course I am, and we all know that so far Sky is the underrated king of this show. His reactions are gif gold.

I'm on episode two and Sky crossing himself in a prayer for Rain as he drags Payu off is just the cutest, sweetest, and funniest thing. He's just like "I'm praying for you buddy, I really think you might have bitten of more than you can handle with that one, but god speed my friend."

Just look at this precious bean. I'm loving Payu/Rain, but I'm excited to see Prapai and Sky get more screen time.

Oh my god that longest tag...that post is, well I can't say not fit for the internet, I've been here a long time, and it's no where near what you can encounter in the wilds of the interwebs, but it's probably one of the most *embarrassed face* things I've ever posted. Also, hilarious that I have 100% more posts than last year. I didn't post at all, because I sort of fell of the tumblr train for a while.

Anyway, I am at least proud of all of these posts, and I also adore all of the blogs in my top reblogs.

7/24/2023

It’s been over ten days since my last post and I’m baffled at how much has happened.

Dylan worked his last shift at Sanderson.  He’s been occupied all day every weekday doing grad school and stuff for his new job.  Normally I’d be sad that I don’t get to see him very often.  But for anyone who has read this blog, you know Dylan and I have been kinda tense with one another lately.  So I’m trying to put a positive spin on it, seeing this as an opportunity to grow separately from one another and spend the entire time attached at the hip.  I think it’ll be good for us.

A few days later, Ozzy called me.  He told me that his dad had passed and he was gonna be taking some space from everyone and everything for a bit.  This broke my heart.  Ozzy is one of the kindest, funniest, purest people I have ever met, and it blows my mind how such tragic, awful things can happen to the people who deserve it the least.  I spent every day after that texting him asking if he was okay.  He apparently only told me and Trent, which is touching because I was one of the two people he wanted to bring up to date.  But my heart shattered for him.

On Saturday, Trent and I went to a local tattoo shop because I was wanting to get a new tattoo for a while.  The tattoo artist was very talkative (to a fault).  He had told another customer that my tattoo would take between 30 and 45 minutes but when we got started the process ended up going for about two and a half hours.  It took him twenty minutes just to put the stencil on me, then another twenty for him to start the tattoo, because he just kept rambling.  It would’ve been fine if he were just talking about casual stuff.  Contrarily, he was telling us about how awful the other staff there are, talking about how he has almost hit a woman on multiple occasions, the origins of different racial slurs, slavery, stories about the KKK (and his roommate who used to be a member), cancel culture and how stupid he thinks it is, and celebrities that possibly have doppelgangers (his list included Tupac, Joe Biden (because sometimes his earlobes are attached and sometimes they aren’t), and Beyonce (because supposedly her ass changes size every day)).  I told him that I had heard a conspiracy once that Eminem had been replaced with someone else because of the dramatic change in his facial structure, and the artist started adamantly explaining how that was a result of rehab, as if his theories aren’t also easily explained away.  It was an experience for sure, but the tattoo turned out great and I only paid $120 for it (it’s now my biggest and cheapest tattoo).

That day, I had received a text from Ozzy.  He told me he wanted to come with us to see the Barbie movie the next day.  I was so ecstatic, as he had been (understandably) distant since his dad passed.

Yesterday, we went to see the Barbie movie.  The group consisted of me, Dylan, Heather, Ozzy, Trent, Missy, Sav, Jena, and Anna.  We all got dressed up and cute for it and it was so much fun.  What an incredible movie, wow.  It was really heavy hitting and it made me cry a couple times.  I’m going to see it again on Tuesday with Becca since she didn’t get to come with us.

After the movie, Ozzy invited me and Trent to come walk around campus with him and play Pokemon Go with him and his roommate, which I was not about to say no to since Oz had been going through it and was expressing interest in spending time with me.  It was really nice, we all talked and had a good time, and it warmed my heart that Ozzy wanted to be around me with everything going on.

The last thing I wanted to talk about here was my living situation.  I have been pretty comfortable with my living situation during my college experience, since I have never had to live with strangers.  At the college I attended during my freshman year, I managed to live alone in my two-person dorm room.  My sophomore year, I lived with my best friends (Dylan, Becca, and Sarah) and during my junior year, Sarah moved out and my other best friend Heather moved in.  So I have been pretty consistently happy with my living situation thus far.  But the cracks are forming very quickly.  Dylan is moving out because his job requires him to live on campus, so he’s subleasing his room.  Heather can’t afford to live in our complex anymore, so she’s subleasing to someone else as well.  The person subleasing for Dylan is a friend of ours who we have hung out with a few times, so at least she’s a familiar figure.  But the one who is subleasing from Heather is a complete stranger.  I’m fine living with him, but Becca doesn’t think she’ll be comfortable, so she raised the possibility of her moving back in with her mom.  So suddenly, I’ve gone from living with three of my closest friends to potentially living with two people who I don’t really know for my senior year.  This sudden change has thrown a lot of stress my way.  On top of that, I have to do my grad school searching, and I’m starting to lose momentum.  But this is a big year I have ahead of me.  It’s gonna be a lot, but I’m actually pretty excited.

Will update if anything notable happens!

Bye for now.

Now Playing: Minecraft Earth: Official Releasing Trailer

To put Minecraft's popularity in context, Epic announced in August 2018 that Fortnite had 78.3 million monthly players. Roblox, a MMO-creation game, had reached 100 million active monthly players in August 2019.

Minecraft still receives regular updates, and Minecraft was added to Xbox Game Pass in April 2019; this no doubt increased the reach of the game further.

Minecraft boss Helen Chiang told Business Insider that Minecraft is a game people love to return to over and over. Chiang stated that although it may not always be the most popular, there are plenty of great games out. However, they love to return to Minecraft.

Microsoft acquired the Minecraft franchise and developer Mojang in 2014 for $2.5 billion. Creator Markus "Notch" Persson is no longer involved with the franchise. He spent $70million on a Beverly Hills mansion. This was more than Jay-Z and Beyonce.

Looking ahead, looking ahead, a Minecraft movie is in the works. Writer Allison Schroeder (Hidden Figures, Frozen 2) was hired to pen the latest draft of the screenplay. The Minecraft movie is scheduled for release in theatres on March 4, 2022. jerry's blog There is no word yet on whether it will be live action or a hybrid nor do we know who may star in it. At one time, Steve Carell was apparently connected to the project, but it's not clear if that's the case.

Some Julie and the Phantoms headcanons, bc apparently thats my blog now:

Reggie plays with his flannel when hes nervous/anxious, and Alex twists his wristbands

Alex has at least one sibling, if not more, but the other two are only children (canon for Luke)

Julie secretly writes fanfiction. And does her own fan art for it. There's another, even more secret box for those

Luke can skateboard and he and Willie end up bonding over that

Alex likes to hang out with Flynn sometimes when they have downtime. They communicate with a pen and paper.

Since Reggie grew up literally right next to the beach, he can probably surf.

Flynn has a tiny crush on both Reggie and Julie bc shes absolutely bisexual and she vents to Alex about it (Alex is very sympathetic bc hes had things for both Reggie AND Luke before)

Willie raps

Julie is probably a rollerblading goddess and its her only athletic talent outside of dance

Ray is actually a good chef when he isn't making spaghetti

The guys can judge the general demeanor of a person when they walk through them (this might be kinda canon based on Reggies comment after Ray walked through him)

Carlos goes into his moms studio not to use the bathroom, but so he has an excuse to just...see all of her things. He probably touches the piano every time hes in there alone

Julie makes a lot of her own clothes

Alex is a sick break dancer and I demand to see it

Obviously aside from Alex and Willie, everyone is bi.

Flynn is VP of their schools gay club

Julie can literally charm the pants off of anyone she speaks to (also pretty canon, but so many side characters just went with everything she did)

Reggie still slept with a plush on the road, and now that he doesn't have it he cuddles with pillows. Its not the same

Luke sometimes plays air guitar when hes thinking about new chords but he doesn't realize hes doing it

When Reggie first heard Beyonce he passed out for like an hour

Ditto with Luke/Kesha and Alex/Lady Gaga (you look me in the eyes and tell me that gay boy wouldn't absolutely crush it dancing to Poker Face and Born This Way I dare you)

hiii! this is an ask for events 1&2 for your 100 follower event👉🏾👈🏾my name is ny! im a pansexual non binary femme (they/she). I’m turning 21 on Friday! I have an Aries sun, pisces moon, venus and mercury, and a Virgo rising! Im kind of short, and I have a low, smooth voice. According to some people I talk kind of like Beyonce, which is one of the best compliments I’ve ever received 💀💀💀

I’m a ballet and contemporary dancer, and I really like to bake! I’m also really into tea, wine, and good food. I like to read, preferably novels and plays. I’m really into moral philosophy and I smoke a LOT of weed. 😂 I like to think I’m very calm, but without being boring. I have anxiety and ocd and it’s mostly manageable, but I do have panic attacks and stuff sometimes 🥺I am 100% a bratty sub, but it doesn’t take much to get me to behave😅 my top 4 favs are Morel, Nobunaga, Phinks and Chrollo, but I’m totally open to being paired w/ other characters too!

I LOVE your blog and I hope I did this right 😬😬

Thank you for the kind words and requesting anon!! 💕‼️

For this request the details you sent work for Event 1, which is the event where I ship you with somebody, but dw you can request for Event 2 as well! I would recommend doing that by “Oh can you write headcanons / a drabble about me and (insert F/O)?” Preferably having a lil prompt I can go off of!

I'M SO SORRY THIS IS FUCKING SHORT GREASY HAIRED JESUS ISN'T MY STRONG POINT IN WRITING 💀✋🏻

Now, the wonderful F33itan says your matchup is...

Chrollo Lucilfer from Hunter x Hunter!

Chrollo just loves you, that's literally it.

I'm just kidding

When he first introduced you to the troupe he made passive aggressive death threats to each and every member that if they disrespect or slip up with your pronouns on purpose they'll go from "bounty, dead or alive" to "missing criminal" in the blink of an eye.

Somebody hate crimes you? They're dead. Torture. Gone. Deceased. Body cannot be found because Churro fed the parts to some wild dogs.

Likes to have you sit in his lap and rest his head on the top of yours, it's cute to him and shows a sign of trust apparently. He also likes the fact how your voice is smooth like his, it makes him feel calm and he hopes it does the same to you.

He ALWAYS goes to your dance practices and likes to play the music coordinating to your dances at random times, pulling you close to him and attempting to dance the same way you do. He fails. Churro also enjoys baking large desserts with you to share with the troupe and brag about how good your baking is. He'll take you to a fancy 5 star restaurant almost once a week, or if publicity isn't your thing then a simple bottle of wine shared over a cozy, comfortable, king sized bed.

Remembers the genres you like to read and brings back books based on those from far away missions. Sometimes they're even signed by the author, but of course Kuroro pulled some strings and maybe cut some heads to get that signature. Doesn't like smoking weed too often, but if you plead and beg him he'll be putty in your hands. He appreciates the fact that you're calm but can still be up for fun activities, whether they be sexual or not.

Whenever you have a panic attack he sends the whole troupe on urgent missions to get your favorite foods, snacks, comfy clothing, soft stuffed animals, some more weed if you've finished yours, and just about everything else you love + a comforting opened-armed Churro ready to take you down hug n kiss lane.

⚠️⬇️ MENTIONS OF NSFW CONTENT ⬇️⚠️

A soft / calm dom but will sometimes be a bit rough, only to the extent you can handle though. Bible man is pretty clingy after the deed and is probably one of the best people to be with for aftercare. He's very gentle overall and really likes to kiss you everywhere, especially areas you used to be / are insecure about.

Once Bitten Twice Shy, Chapter 20 Final Chapter

Previous Chapter

Chapter Summary -  Paige sits in England, trying to get over a brokenheart, not the least bit interested in meeting friends, Mark puts that plan out of action, with interesting consequences. 

Tag, @wolfsmom1 @sweetkingdomstarlight-blog @damalseer@nonsensicalobsessions  @standing-onthe-edge @hiddlesbitch1

anyone else who wishes to be added to the tags, just ask :)

a/n  - Thank you to everyone who came on this random journey with me. 

“One night?” Sophie pushed. 

“I am not in the mood Sophie, Mum is tired a lot since the surgery and it’s not fair to have Dad be the one to help her all the time,” Paige replied. “Besides, I am tired of being the only lone wolf at these things.” “Well, at the last one you went to, you…” “Brought myself into a situation where I ended up getting my heart broken even worse than the time I nearly married a cheating scumbag,” Paige replied. “I am not really in the mood, Soph, but thank you for the invitation. Maybe I will see you soon.”  “You live in the same city as me.”

“So there’s a good chance I will meet you soon.”  “Maybe.” Sophie shook her head as she put down the phone. 

“Paige?” 

Sophie looked at her husband. “Yes, she is going to help with her mother.” “Understandable. How is she?” “Great, they seem to have gotten to it before it was a big danger and took out the breast to prevent it becoming any more of an issue, but she is tired apparently and you know Paige.” “Always wants to help everyone. So, eight of us in total then?” “It would seem so, get a spare of everything because someone knocks something or someone gets something wrong somewhere,” Sophie ordered. 

“Will do.” Ben kissed her cheek as he went to get what she wanted. 

*

“My turn.” 

“What, it is not your turn.”  “Yes, it is. I’m the oldest and I said it’s my turn.” Mark sat on his sister, causing her to swear at him. “Go and be human again, Paige.” “I am very human.” 

“You know what I mean.”  Mark countered. “Look, I heard you talking to Sophie, they are having a dinner night, go be a normal young woman for an evening.” “They will have everything organised by now.” “Just check.” 

“You can’t help Mum with certain things.” “Dad and Fiona can do what I can’t. Look, one night won’t kill you.” 

“Maybe it will,” Paige challenged. “I am not really in the mood, Mark.”  “Well, get in the mood. I am kicking you out.” 

“You can’t kick me out, it’s not your house,” Paige argued. 

“Dad,” Mark called their father, who came into the room a moment later. “Kick Paige out of your house for the night.”

“What?” Martin looked at his son as though he was mad. 

“Kick out your daughter. She is not meeting friends because she thinks she needs to be here day and night even though you, Fiona and I are here and Mum is fine,” Mark explained. 

“Mark...” Paige growled. 

Martin looked between his children for a second before urging Paige out of the seat she was in. “I do not want to see you until lunchtime tomorrow, do I make myself clear?” “Dad?” 

“No, no ‘Dad’, you are stuck in here day and night with your mother and me. You need to be young, not that weekend of foolery you did in college but go and talk to people your own age.”

“Mark and Fiona are my age.” “Now, Paige. Damn it, I am telling you to go and see your friends or so help me I will change the locks and not let you back in here. Go.” 

Paige was about to argue her father when she noticed the sad look in his eyes. “Okay, Dad. I’ll go.” She gently squeezed his hand. “Don’t get upset.” “You have been through so much lately, Paigey, with your Mum, with everything with Tom.” She swallowed and chewed her lip. “I just...I hate seeing you so down. Being in the house all the time isn’t going to do you any good. You need to see your friends.” “I do.” 

“Then get your ass out of my house and go be a young woman. Who knows, maybe you could find some young man to sweep you off your feet.” “I am doubtful, but I guess anything is better than looking at Mark for the night.” “Bite me,” Her brother snarked. 

“Like Hell, I’d catch something,” She retorted. She pulled out her phone. “Guess I better see if I am welcome.” She commented, tapping out Sophie’s number. 

* Sophie beamed as she told Paige to get her ass over asap. When she hung up the phone, she went in search of her husband to inform him of their need to set another place. When she informed him, he nodded and stated that he was aware and would deal with it. 

When Paige turned up, Sophie answered the door and hugged her tightly. “Hello.” “Hi.” “So, how did you end up being convinced to come?” “Mark told Dad that I was invited and to kick me out of his house so I would come, so here I am.” “I am glad he did.” She ushered Paige into the kitchen. 

Ben came down the stairs just as there was a knock on the door. Smiling, knowing who it was, he opened it. “So, do I greet you like an American now?” He joked. 

Tom smiled back. “I will take a good old fashioned British one, if you don’t mind.” He embraced his friend. “How are you?” “All the better for seeing you, how was the US?”  “Fine, we have a few days off so I said I would come home, meet my new nephew.” He smiled. 

“How is your sister, this was her first, right?” “Yes, she is loving it apparently. He’s a cute little thing.” Tom walked with him into the living area. “But they are dealing with him at night and I have not seen you two in ages so when you extended the invite, I thought, why not?” “Why not, indeed, it’s great to have you.” 

*

“So, wine?” Sophie offered. 

“No thanks, I want a clear head for tomorrow, Mum is going to the hairdressers, I promised I’d bring her. She is excited to get out and about so I want to make sure she has a good...did you tell your husband I was coming?” Paige asked worriedly. 

Sophie’s brow furrowed. “What?” “Why is Ben staring at me like I am some form of apparition?” She pointed to the living area where Ben was staring blankly at her. 

Sophie looked into the living room where indeed, her husband was staring at her friend. “I have no idea. I told him to put out an extra set of everything?” “I sort of feel like I am persona non grata.” 

“What, no…” Sophie walked towards her husband. 

Paige, feeling uncomfortable went to the bathroom. 

“What is wrong with you?” Sophie asked. “You have Paige thinking she is not welcome.” 

“When did Paige say she was coming?”

“This afternoon, I told you to set another place and you said you were aware.”

“I thought you knew about Tom coming.” “Tom?” “Tom.” “Wait, Tom is here?” 

Just as Paige came to the bathroom, the door opened, bringing her face to face with Tom. “Oh.” Tom, just as startled, stared at her for a moment. “Paige?” “Well, it’s hardly Beyonce. What are you doing here, I thought you were in New York for another eight or ten weeks?” 

“We have a few days off. Emma had her baby so I came home, Ben offered dinner so I said yes. You?” “I live in London and never said I was going anywhere else?” She smiled awkwardly.

No, of course. How is your mum?”

“Fine, her biopsy came back as expected, but she caught it really early so she is doing great.” 

“Good, well not good that she is ill but good everything seems to be set to be okay.” “I gathered.” Paige smiled. “So, did Zawe come with you?” “No, no it was never like that, Paige. We...there was never anything between us. The media tried to imply that there was, but awe, she is a great friend, but nothing more.” 

“It’s not my business.” “Paige, listen. I need to speak to you. I tried and tried and every time something came up but I can’t take it anymore, I need to speak to you.” Tom had nothing he had prepared before ready, not the eloquent words or anything else, he only decided to throw it out there before something else got in the way. “I wanted to ask you for so long, but then you said in New York about you waiting too long. Paige, I am insane about you and I really hate not talking to you every day and not seeing you anymore. The time we were together, you were everything I could ever want but I was stupidly thinking you didn’t like me in the same way and how I was so worried about leaving anyone in London. I am gone a lot, my life is a lot of work for me, let alone anyone around me, but you always just seemed to glide through and you being there meant everything to me and I just...I want to be with you, officially, and properly.”  

“What?” 

“I know this is a lot to process at once, and I am sorry to throw it on you, but every fucking time I tried to tell you, or even kiss you, someone interrupted and I can’t take it again. I needed to tell you. I needed you to say yes or no, whatever you want, I will respect, but I needed to say it and let you know how I feel because I can’t hold it in any more. I just can’t. I am mad about you, I...You literally are the woman I could see a future with and that doesn’t scare me, it excites me. You are so intelligent and caring and independent and I need to let you know and if I am being too forward, tell me. If I am not what you want, then tell me, but not knowing is chewing me up inside. I am so sorry to dump this on you, but I need to get it out.” “That really is a lot to process.” Paige stated in shock. She thought about it. She had begun to accept Tom was interested in another woman, she had forced herself to understand she was not what he wanted so she was not sure how to deal with realising she was wrong. “I...I don’t....” She rubbed her hands over her face. “Tom, I...I thought you weren’t interested.” “I am.” He stepped in front of her, his hand on her cheek. “Fuck me, I am. I just took too long to admit it.”  “It’s just…I don’t…”

“Just say it. Whatever it is, I will respect it.”

“I am just so confused.” She inhaled deeply. 

“How can I assist?” “I don’t know. I guess, just give me a while to figure it out?” Tom smiled and took her hand, kissing it as he looked her in the eye. “Take all the time you need.” 

“It’s not you, please believe me, it’s just, I feel like a mess recently, with Mum and everything.” “Completely understandable. Would you rather I leave?” “What, are you fucking nuts, I am not going to tell you to leave your friends home because I’m trying to figure this out, what’s wrong with you?” 

Tom smiled. “Don’t ever change, please.”

Paige bit her lips together and looked at him coyly. “You make it hard to want to.” Thinking for only another second or two, she leant up and pressed her lips to his. 

Tom, realising what was happening, kissed her back, his hand going to her face and cupping her cheek gently. 

“Tom?” Ben’s voice came up the stairs. 

Tom reached for the closest item to him, which happened to be a towel and threw it down the stairwell. “Not now.” He growled. 

“If you two go at it in my bathroom, I swear, I will throw cold water on you.” “Better than your bedroom, in all fairness.” Paige retorted before kissing Tom again, him laughing against her lips. When she pulled back again, she looked at him for a moment. “I know you are busy at the moment with the show, but I will be here when you get back.” 

don't

“Don’t say that, I won’t go back.” 

“You will because you’re a professional. I will be here.” “After that, I have the Loki series.”  “I know. And I will still be here. Just...don’t hurt me, not like he did.” “Never,” Tom swore, kissing her again. 

*

Tom sat back in his chair. He rubbed his hands over his face. It was the second last week of the show. He was exhausted, he wanted to go home, ring Paige, and fall asleep to her voice. 

He had stayed in her home the following two nights he was in London, both nights spent getting to know each other in the one way their talks did not teach them. Tom had to spend time with his family, but he did so with Paige by his side. When his family saw her, they all were elated. The pair pretended it was simply that they decided to try and work through the time apart, neither wanting to admit their scam before. Tom informed Luke, Paige informed Oscar, both were surprised but not overly shocked, having discussed the other’s character with each other before and noting their similar personalities. Tom went to see Violet before returning to New York, something that made her happier than they thought possible. She cried on seeing him and seeing him holding her daughter’s hand again. 

When Tom went to the airport for his flight, he looked worriedly at Paige. “If it gets too much, tell me.”  “If you decide you want someone else, tell me.” With promises made, they kissed and said goodbye. 

He missed it, he wanted to be back in London, in bed with her and talking, like they did the first morning after they woke in her bed, having professed their feelings. He wanted nothing more than to be with her. 

“You look tired.” He turned to see Zawe in the doorway. “Everything alright?” “Missing home.”  “It’s not Britain, is it? I never thought I would miss home so much.” She walked into the room, her arms folded. “Do you miss her?” “Terribly.” “What would you do if she was here now?” “Hug her, tell her I want nothing more than to go back to the apartment, sort Bobby and then just relax with her. Swear I was fine but doze off on the couch, her rolling her eyes and snorting, having told me five times to just go to bed.” Tom smiled at the thought.

“Sounds so normal,” Zawe commented. There was no ill-meaning in her words, simply statement of thought. 

“Sounds perfect in my opinion,” Tom stated wearily. 

“I’m inclined to agree.” 

For a moment, Tom didn’t register the voice before his eyes widened, then he turned and he saw Paige standing at the door. “What…?” “I was able to get a flight to New York, so I took it. Mark is going away for Christmas with Fiona, so they are at home this week, I had a few days to burn, so…” Tom got off the chair and noted the smile on Zawe's face. “You…” “Zawe helped me to get in here, she was so good.” Paige smiled. “Guess who both have the same editor, that was handy.” 

Tom leant over and gave his co-star a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you.” “Any time. I will leave you two to it.” Zawe walked out of the room. “Have a good evening.” “You too.” Paige walked over to him. “I think we need to get you to the apartment and get you some rest.” “In a minute.” “Why, what have you left to do?” “Kiss you.” Tom leant forward and did just that.

a pen pals au of sorts in which jake and amy share a desk and communicate via post-it notes (last edited: december 2017)

Amy is going to murder her deskmate.

The literal trash heap that greeted her last Monday was one thing, the sticky orange soda stain from last month was another thing, but this – this blatant disregard of property and boundaries and the sanctity of office supplies – is the Last Straw.

Spread out across her entire desk is a good fourth of the Post-it notes from the brand new assorted set she got from her brother Tony. They’re all arranged to look like various Star Wars icons, and a few of them are filled in with marker for apparent color correction. It’s horrifying.

Grumbling, she begins taking apart Post-It Yoda, keeping the salvageable pieces in a stack and throwing out the rest. When she’s cleared her entire table, she grabs her favorite pen and a fresh sheet then writes:

Hi, Please refrain from wasting my Post-its in the future. Thank you. - Det. Amy Santiago

She stares at it for a moment and decides, since this is probably the only passive aggressive note she’s going to write her deskmate, she might as well add:

PS: I would appreciate it if you would leave our desk clean at the end of your weekend shifts.

After checking it over once more, she places it in the center of her desk, ready to be read the following Saturday.

a dianetti cake shop au in which rosa owns and runs a store called arlo’s (last edited: june 2017)

Gina takes a moment to look over some of the cakes on display before clearing her throat and leaning over the counter. “’Scuse me, can you help me get a custom cake order started?”

“Sure.” The baker wipes her hands on a dish towel before grabbing a small notebook and pen from one of her pockets. “What’s the occasion?”

“Some old geezer’s leaving our precinct to enjoy retired life, or something like that.”

“Retirement party? Cool. Tell me about this guy.”

“Oh, sweetie, I don’t know or care about him. I’m just here cause my boss told me to order a cake.”

A smirk forms on the baker’s lips. “Ha. Do you wanna just do a standard cake order then? I usually do the custom cakes for more personalized, special events.”

“That’s probably smart. Which one of your standard cakes say: ‘Congrats on being old and rich enough to never work another day in your life, but sorry you’re almost dead’?”

She snickers. “I don’t know about that first part, but how ‘bout an angel food cake as a ‘hope you go to heaven when you die’ sort of thing?”

Gina grins and fishes through her purse for her wallet. “Oh, you should know my expectations on this cake are out of this world high. I’m only here because Yelp told me you’re the Beyonce of baking.” (Actually, she’s here because at least three reviews claimed the baker-slash-owner was “terrifying” and “gorgeous.” – They were right, on both accounts.)

a sequel to i could listen to you all day // the “after ever after” story in which jake and amy navigate their first year together as soulmates (last edited: march 2017)

Jake’s phone buzzed on his desk, breaking him out of his happy daydream. He picked it up and opened a new message from Gina.

“god, quit making heart eyes at the new girl!! your conscience would be v disappointed, kiddo.”

Gina, who had been watching him like a hawk from her desk, expected him to get all flustered and to text or yell back something overly defensive. She raised a single eyebrow when his face instead broke into a goofy grin and he straight up giggled.

Across from him, Amy looked up from her case files. “What’s so funny?”

He shook his head and mumbled something about memes and the internet.

She rolled her eyes, but the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. After he redirected his attention to his computer screen, her expression morphed into the same openly adoring look he had on his face the entire morning.

And then it all clicked.

If Gina had stopped to think about it, she would have recognized the new disappointment she felt in both herself (for taking this long to put two and two together) and her childhood best friend (for not keeping her in the loop). As she had not stopped to process anything, she instead yelled across the bullpen: “OH MY GOD. JAKE AND AMY ARE SOULMATES!”

All work stopped, and everyone fell silent. For a good minute, all that could be heard was the faint snoring from Captain McGintley’s office.

“Gina,” Rosa half-snarled, half-whispered. “You can’t just say that.”

“Oops, my b. Y’all know I have no conscience now so…” She giggled, winked at the leather-clad detective, and went back to her game of Kwazy Cupcakes.

Jake let out an awkward laugh. “Well, uh, that was -”

Out of nowhere, Charles appeared right in front of their desks. “Is it true, Jakey? Was Amy the voice in your head all this time?”

“I -” He glanced at Amy for help.

She bit her lip and shrugged.

This wasn’t at all how he envisioned making the announcement, but there was no use denying it. Still looking straight at her, his face softened into a smile. “Yeah… We’re soulmates.”

Charles squealed loudly. “You said the S word! Does that mean it’s official?” He gasped. “Have you said ‘I love you’? Have you met each other’s parents? When’s the wedding? What are you naming your first child?”

pretty much a crack fic inspired by the media’s post-olympics obsession with tessa and scott // my spin on a vm au bc i still refuse to write jake and amy as ice dancers (last edited: may 2018)

Like many of the other bizarre situations he’s found himself in, this all started with Gina. Over the last year or so, she’d been posting random photos and videos of all of them at the precinct. (“I’m devoting my energy to my new project, Ginazon,” she’d declared to the entire bullpen. “It’s a one-stop online portal for my legions of followers. I’m just giving the people what they want!”) Given that this was Gina of all people, Jake wasn’t at all surprised to find out that each post garnered hundreds of likes, but he’d never bothered to venture into the comments section. He’d never known about the apparent niche following that had formed, the group of fans – for lack of a better word – waiting with bated breath for him and Amy to get together.

Charles had only spurred them on, what with all the various Easter eggs on his culinary blog. (“This place has everything,” he’d written once. “My co-workers Jake and Amy even gave it their stamp of approval after they’d shared a quick lunch there before a long stakeout. Make sure to ask for the winter salsa; it’s wonderful!”) He’d sworn that none of it was intentional and that he would never do anything to sell them out, but everything he’d written had still been catalogued and analyzed by the pseudo-experts of the fandom. At this point, Jake’s main regret is not reading Charles’ weekly email blasts.

Their downfall – or rise to viral glory – came when someone from the so-called G-Hive happened to be in just the right place at just the right time, catching their (second) completely-platonic, spur-of-the-moment, done-in-the-name-of-justice kiss on camera. By the next morning, “Undercover Cops Lock Lips Before Locking Up Wanted Criminal” had been viewed on YouTube over a million times.

With everything about the entire situation already being so weird, they’d decided to just ignore their newfound fame in the same way they’d pretended the kisses never happened. (“We’re a great team. We work great together. Nothing should mess that up,” he’d said, repeating nearly his exact words from the night before.)

Evidently, there was no escaping this though. A formal press conference was set up, which wasn’t too out of the ordinary for cases that caught the general public’s attention, except they’d ended up having to say more about their dating lives than the investigation or arrest. He can still feel his heart lurching in his chest at the first relationship-related question, still hear Amy loudly stammering out some vague answer about being “very professional.”

a smutty soulmate au in which jake and amy unknowingly share dreams every now and then (last edited: november 2017)

At this moment in time, Amy Santiago is undeniably, incomparably, drop dead gorgeous.

More specifically: she’s in the hot red dress Kylie convinced her to buy on their last post-trivia night celebratory shopping spree; she’s wearing a matching killer shade of lipstick picked out by her fashion-forward, shockingly sexual 13-year-old niece; and she’s got her hair swept into that one elegant yet fun side ponytail that caught her eye in a magazine a few weeks back.

Normally, she’d be proud of herself for managing to pull off such a look, except–

It’s been a good several hours since she tossed her dress into the hamper, wiped the makeup off her face, and tugged the elastic tie from her hair. She’d buried her head into her pillow and wheeze-cried herself to sleep shortly after changing into her pajamas, so overwhelmed with shame and disappointment over the night’s party-gone-wrong.

The thick haze shrouding her current surroundings tells her she’s in another one of her soulmate’s dreams, which helps a tiny bit in explaining her current appearance but really opens up more questions than answers.

I recently read a fic on ao3 and it was funny and great and then I thought of a few major changes that would make it even more hilarious. Problem is, I don't know the etiquette here. Should I just go ahead and write my own version? Add a link to the original story and credit it as inspiration? It was based on a prompt so the idea isn't exclusively the author's I suppose. Anyway I'll only be borrowing the start scenario (which is the prompt) and there will be no other similarities. Please help

Hello there. I’m gonna start what I expect will be kind of a long essay by saying there is an awful lot to unpack here… Starting with the fact that there is a chasm of difference between taking inspiration from a prompt fill fic and imagining an entirely different scenario, and starting that from a mentality of “I can do better than you.” The first is at the root of all of human creativity. We all bounce off one another and take inspiration from each other, and the entire history of human storytelling is essentially one long conversation. But the second part of this historically leads to fisticuffs. No, really. Google “famous literary feuds” for all the reasons why.

It’s not so much a difference in practical terms, but in your approach and understanding here.

So this is why I saw this ask in my inbox late last night and decided I needed to go to sleep rather than trying to answer you right away. But now I have coffee, so let’s give this a try. :P

I’d start by asking what the source of the prompt was. Was it a tumblr post? A prompt from a prompt list? Even one of those “pick a pairing and a prompt and I’ll write a short ficlet” posts? If so, you’re probably free to use the prompt by going back to the original fic prompt list. People publish those as jumping off points to write fic, and they actively WANT people to use them this way.

If the prompt, however, was given to a specific author by someone, you might want to at least ask that author if it would be okay for you to write something of your own based on the prompt. And at least try not to frame it as “I can write something better than you did” when you ask. That’s just rude and demoralizing for the author who’s already published a fic for that prompt, you know?

I get fic ideas all the time from random places, but there’s a different etiquette for each of them.

Sometimes a random tumblr post will give me an idea, and I’ll go talk to the OP privately, both because it’s FUN to talk about someone’s wild headcanon with them, and because you’re approaching the person who had the initial idea with courtesy and in the spirit of collaboration, rather than from this place of “stealing their idea.” The first builds good fandom feelings, while the second tends to do the opposite. I have a couple of experiences here that will hopefully illustrate the difference.

A few years back, when Lizbob was running the Great Meta Scavenger Hunt during s12, it led to the creation of the Great Fic Writer Scavenger Hunt. The theory behind it was that any number of authors could take the same fic prompt based on a single trope paired with a single distinctive character trait and the results would all be entirely unique stories. The intent was to prove that just because an idea had been written before, it becomes a new story when written by someone else, you know? And it was TRUE.

http://mittensmorgul.tumblr.com/tagged/the-great-fic-writer-scavenger-hunt/chrono

We had DOZENS of authors participate, and despite all writing “the same story” every week, NONE of the resulting stories were even remotely the same.

On the other hand, I posted an insomnia-inspired headcanon a few months ago, and within five minutes after posting it, my insomnia brain– with an assist from a more rational point of view thanks to lizbob– had taken that little notion and spun it out into long fic in my head. I went back to my original post to laugh at myself in a reblog, announcing that I was gonna write long fic of the thing and for people to stay tuned for more, but other folks had already reblogged the original with comments to the effect of, “Someone should write this fic!” The worst thing was that other authors were tagged into it. As if my highly specific headcanon was suddenly communal property. Because the implication behind it– whether it was the truth or not– felt like “I like this headcanon, but have decided that I don’t want the OP to actually write this story because I like XYZ author’s writing better.”

And I know that was not the intent of the folks who added those comments to my post, but as someone who actively writes fic for this fandom, it felt like a slap in the face.

Now if those same people had replied, “OP please write more of this!” or “What a cool idea!” or even if they’d come to me privately and said, “Hey this is a cool idea, do you mind if I use it to write a longer fic?” I would’ve been HAPPY about it.

Can you see the difference here, anon?

The result was a rather frustrating back and forth where I was told that because I posted the idea in public it was effectively free real estate for anyone else to squat on. I mean, isn’t that what we’re all doing with the source material we base all our fan creations on anyway? We don’t ask the Supernatural writers for permission to use their characters, their settings, their intellectual property to create our own stories and art, right?

But the difference here is apparently too subtle for some folks to grasp. The Supernatural writers aren’t part of our fandom community. And the culture within fandom operates on different rules. Fandom creators are not source creators, and yes we all collectively “steal” from the same source, but it sort of defies the underlying premise that fandom creators as a whole are operating on the same level to suggest that “stealing” from another fandom creator is the same thing.

From my understanding, the entire point of fandom creators doing what they do is to build a community together around the thing we all love. There is a way to do that in good faith, through collaboration and the free sharing of ideas and creations.

I hope this makes sense.

The result of all of that was that I set aside another project I’d been wanting to write and instead began spite writing my own headcanon post. It was like pulling teeth at first, because there was so much Bad Fandom Feeling attached to the concept that the words just didn’t want to come. It’s FINALLY flowing now, though (after several months of the aforementioned teeth-pulling), and is nearing 18k words. I’m hoping it’ll be done and ready to post by the end of March, so I can FINALLY go back to writing the thing I’d originally wanted to work on before this nonsense blew up.

I’ve also unfortunately been one of the authors tagged in on someone else’s headcanon post in the past. I know the folks who do this think it’s flattering, and they’re just excited about an idea and want to read more of it, but the correct etiquette is ALWAYS to approach the OP in PRIVATE before taking their idea and writing it yourself, or pointing another author in the direction of the post and suggesting they write it for you.

I can guarantee you that 99 times out of 100, the OP will actually be flattered you enjoyed their idea so much you want to read more of it if you frame it from a place of appreciation and excitement, rather than from a place of selfish entitlement or superiority.

I’ve talked about this before, but this is how I have always approached fic writing. I got my first idea for a long fic from the Valentine’s Day Collab fic that Winjennster ran back in 2015. I told her I had an idea based on her prompt that I wanted to write as a much longer fic than would fit into the 3k limit for the collab, and she told me to go forth and be fruitful with my words. Actually, I think her exact words were more like “HELL YES! YOU DO THAT!” or something, but the spirit was the same. :P

The next fic I wrote (Project Beyonce) was inspired by a series of tumblr crack posts about “what sort of tumblr blogs would each member of TFW run?” And I reblogged them with commentary about how this would make a hilarious fic, because they were that sort of “conversational thread” of crack headcanons where that sort of addition was more than welcome. Not to mention I was already on friendly terms with the other participants in the thread, so it wasn’t strange for me to zoom in out of the blue and announce I was writing fic inspired by those posts. Even though my fic was set in an AU, and the only commonality was the fact that Dean and Cas were on tumblr. Nothing else about my fic was even remotely similar to the canon crack headcanons from those posts, and I don’t think that anyone involved in the original threads was upset that I’d written fic based on Dean being Cas’s favorite tumblr anon…

My first DCBB (Revenge of the Subtext) was inspired by a crack post made by @nicelimabean. One single sentence about Jensen and Jared walking into a con dressed like Sam and Dean and covered in dirt and blood, and suddenly I had 80k of fic running through my head. I sat there and stared at her post for like five minutes and then went immediately to the chat bubbles to ask– nay, beg– to use her post as a fic prompt for the DCBB. We talked it over for a good long while, both of us growing more excited as the ideas spun out, and long story short, not only did I make a wonderful fandom friend, she ended up beta reading for me and being an ongoing source of encouragement and support in fandom. We even met in person at a con (!) and spent the weekend cackling about how everything felt like a reference to RotS (since at the time we were the only two people on the planet who’d read the fic or even knew what it was about, because DCBB rules of secrecy).

Since then, I’ve gotten ideas for fic from tumblr (and always asked the OP for permission to write their idea– like for fic such as Plotbunny which was based on the combination of ideas from @bluestar86 on a WONDERFUL way to confirm Dean’s bisexuality in canon and Lizbob’s long desire for an Easter Bunny episode, combined with the fact that Easter fell on April Fool’s Day last year… to ideas for The Terminal Job based on chats with @truebluecas about an airport AU WHICH I AM SO SORRY STROB I STILL HAVE IT ON MY LIST TO WRITE AND I SWEAR I WILL WRITE IT EVENTUALLY D:

I’ve also had the reverse happen, where someone read one of my fics and was inspired to write their own fic based on Revenge of the Subtext. They approached me in private with the idea and asked for my blessing to write it. Honestly, I was FLOORED that anyone would be inspired by my words like that, and eagerly encouraged them to write their idea. I’ve also had people give me fic ideas in comments on AO3, in chats both on tumblr and Discord, which turned into longer conversations and eventually more fic (or at the very least to ideas on my To Be Written list). But I always ALWAYS ask permission from the other person or people before writing their ideas. And I have NEVER been told that I was not permitted. People are usually PLEASED that their ideas are deemed worthy by another writer, you know? It’s exciting!

This also goes for art inspired by fic, but in a slightly different way. If someone (anyone!) was inspired to draw something based on something I wrote, I will UNIVERSALLY BE THRILLED that my words inspired someone’s creativity in a different medium. But the key here is it’s a different medium. Nobody ever has to ask permission to art my fic. But that’s not the same as wanting to rewrite my fic into a different story, you know?

Not to mention, collaborating and asking permission and sharing the enthusiasm for an idea or a story like this with others has the potential to boost ALL of your creations. You could build resentment in fandom from other creators, or you can all lift each other up. Starting from the standpoint of communal excitement can result in mutual promotion of each other’s works, you know? Do you want a built-in cheerleader for your work, to build connections in fandom that will eventually support ALL of your works? Then your approach to sharing ideas this way is the key that could potentially unlock that door, or conversely lock it behind you. Your choice, really.

Wait, what was I talking about again? OH right. The whole entire point of fandom. We’re all of us in this same boat, sailing the seas of our chosen Source Material together. You can use your creative abilities for Good, to build communities up, or you can be That Asshole who tries to build themselves up while effectively shading or demoralizing other fandom creators in the process.

So what I’m saying here isn’t necessarily about your desire to write something based on someone else’s idea, but more about the approach you take to it. It costs zero dollars to be polite about it and approach it from a direction of good will and joy in creating for the thing we all love together, you know?

[Post 3 of 3]: Cheater, Cheater, Booty Eater!

I see you all are still on a natural high following Summer Crush, but I come baring sad news.

Unfortunately, this will be a tragic reveal of the ugly secrets that have been going down behind our backs. And it is no laughing matter ....

I’ve mentioned in my earlier posts that this town is boring. Well apparently you’ve all been smoking the same crack rock as our problematic fav, because the headassery JUMPED OUT! I said last time that I would place myself on the scenes of the lives of our fav Santa Monicans and that exactly what I did during Summer Crush.

In fact, I took it an extra mile by planting cameras in all of the hook-up huts, the cabanas, and even the fantasy suites. So me pretending to be “shocked” when I found out that June got #Dic, was pure theatrics. Though I was actually shocked that she had it in her. BUT I RETURN TO MY POINT...

I’m sure you guys noticed a certain hot couple was missing from the countdown, and what I found out about these two was truly disturbing...

So here we go…

ooc: I do make jokes about The Amish community, but if it gets out of hand in this post, please let me know. And apologies in advance. 

I think the most asked topic, by far, is between Shark Boy and Lava Thot (Yes, I’ve changed the name, sue me). Most of you have simply asked, “Butt Stuff?” And so I decided to get to the bottom I decided to get to the TRUTH of the situation. Just a recap for those who missed it: Myles ditched the strap provided by his Amish girlfriend, Jasmine, for a real lug of MEAT. The rumor was that Myles Bennetover began having a SCANDALOUS affair with Julian Stark. I thought that it was complete MADNESS! Myles “Thicckie Minaj” Bennet would never let down the people that he loves, like his girlfriend, AND ME! But I was wrong. Myles is, after all, a man, so that makes him an idiot.

I followed Miss Bennett to the bar where he went to go met up with Julian one night, before Summer Crush had COMMENCED. The conversation that took place was one that sounded like a break-up. “This ILLUSTRIOUS affair can go on no longer”, Myles said (well he didn’t actually, I’m paraphrasing). Heartbroken, Julian SUNK into himself. All these passionate nights between them, and the entire time, he was only a booty cock call. We know that Julian has no feelings (clearly, he fucking a man in a relationship), but he took this one to heart. He was (is?) in LOVE with Myles, but the two could no longer be together. Julian got up to leave but Myles STOPPED him! In that very moment, he had a change of heart. He then GRABBED the washed up surfer by his shirt and pulled him in, the two began to MAKE OUT in the middle of the bar. But it doesn’t stopped there. They proceeded to MIGRATE to the bathroom where Myles proceeded to sit on Julian’s ... Iron Throne. I didn’t stay long to watch, I was too heartbroken. I did hear the kissing, and moaning, and grunting. And I heard Myles shout out “Sweet Sassafras” (Paraphrasing), upon first penetration. But I had to leave. It was too much.

All I could think of was Jasmine. How she’s been tirelessly WORKING to remain free from the MENNONITES of her VILLAGE that have continued to OPPRESS HER. And it’s SUPER shady that he’d do this TO A GIRL WHO DOESN’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE A COMPUTER!!!! I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE YELLED A GIRL LIKE THIS!

So after that night, the two men decided to call it quits. Their bathroom shuffle was their Last Hurrah. In fact Julian ordered Myles to come and collect his ugly ass plaid shirts that FILLED his humble abode and the two swore they would never speak to each other ever again … but then Summer Crush happened.

Their plans to end everything completely fell through once they had to be in each other’s company night after night. Their secret convos, locking eyes across the rooms, disappearing into the FUCK HUTS to BANG — completely cancelled out their plans. I could go into explicit detail about it all, but basically … they still have the hottttttttttts for each other.

After a bit more digging, I’ve found out that this affair has been going on for a while at this point. According to source close to both Wink (Myles) and Wonk (Julian), they met each other during Julian’s Washed Up Surfer Reunion (who even keeps up with surfers anyways) the two formed a connection and … well..

And that was TEN MONTHS AGO! So for TEN MONTHS!! fjhcdcjkdsacjk

I have to say that I am … speechless.

Not necessarily because of the affair itself, but because I’m never wrong. I honestly thought Myles was better than this. Julian? Not so much.

It’s interesting to look at this in retrospect. Knowing that this has been going on all this time while MYLES BENNETOVER was texting sweet nothing to Jasmine by day and was BENNENITOVER by night for #DemonDICK. Watching Jasmine on a date with Julian completely oblivious to everything that was going on, while Julian sat there in knowing what he’s done to her .. It’s actually evil ... and at this point … I nominate MURDER as the solution.

So Jasmine (or people who know Jasmine, cause she probes won’t see this) LISTEN UP, here are a few solutions I think would work, or at the very least, get even. NOTE: IN ORDER TO GET AWAY WITH THESE HYPOTHETICAL THEORETICAL SCENARIOS, JASMINE HAS TO CONTINUE TO BE OBLIVIOUS TO MY BLOG, IT’S HER ONLY ALIBI. MOVING ON...

(Least Recommended) Jasmine dresses up in a beige trench coat and black thigh high boots (see: Ring The Alarm - Beyonce (Preferably the VMA performance she did, the mob of girls and choreographed dance is optional, but would be appreciated)). Hidden in her trench coat is her weapon of choice. A gun is too basic. A knife isn’t a guaranteed kill. A CHAINSAW would be just right, in my opinion. Whatever she decides to use, Julian is the first casualty, obvi. Myles would be the second. After they are DISMEMBERED, feed them to the sharks. (The reason I’m not to keen on this is because it’s to messy, odds are Jas would not be able to get away with it. But the way they kill animals back home in her village, I figured it’d be the easiest for her.)

(Not highly Recommended but better then #1) Go to Whole Foods and buy a bunch of cherries, Google the recipe to how to make homemade cyanide out of cherries, or ask a friend to do it for you, I keep forgetting she doesn’t know how to use a computer. No one would suspect the sweet girl buying cherries is using it to murder her boyfriend and his mistress. After they are OUT drag them to the ocean, tie Wink and Wonk together (using Myles plaid shirts) and throw them into the ocean. Again, the Sharks will do what they need to do. (No guarantee of getting away with this, they might break free from the plaid chains. Maybe I just want the plaid shirts to be gone. Plus side though? You can still wear the Ring The Alarm number).

(HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) COMBAT ALL OF MYLES’ HARD WORK BY DEVISING A PLAN TO RID THE OCEAN OF SHARKS! MAKE SURE HE KNOWS THAT THE REASON YOU’RE DOING THIS IS BECUSE YOU MADE HIM! SO IN THE END, IT WILL BE ALL HIS FAULT THAT THE SHARKS ARE DEAD!!!! ONCE THEY ARE ALL GONE MYLES WILL NOT HAVE A JOB NOR WILL HE BE ABLE TO KEEP UP WITH HIS TRIFLIN’ LIFESTYLE SO HE WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO MOVE BACK TO BUMFUCK, TEXAS (POPULATION: LOSER!!!!) WHERE HE WILL HAVE TO PICK SHIFTS A FUCKING BASS PRO SHOPS LISTENING TO NICKELBACK’S GREATEST HITS ON REPEAT WHILE HE CHECKS OUT SOME HILLBILLY BUYING AN ASSAULT RIFLE.

Jasmine, if you are reading this, I am so sorry that you had to go through this. I would totally suggest a guy for you to ditch Myles for, but ... all the men in this town ain’t SHIT. Maybe, the mennonites will have you back in your village where you will be free of the evils the outside world has to offer. 

As for Wink and Wonk? I SHIP IT! I hope you guys run off and live happily ever after ... In the depths of hell where you belong!!!!!!!

So this it guys, SWIMMING in at NUMBER 1 are Shark Boy and Lava Thot and their tragic love affair. 

I hope you’re pleased with yourselves boys. You’ve broken a poor Amish Girl’s heart and WORST OF ALL? Julian and his #DemonDick fucked Cutny Westwood, who was (almost) dating Jamie ALL because he was on the oust with Shark Boy, so EVERYONE in this situation gets played. Tragic.

 I guess this is what happens when the #DemonDick takes host.

#PrayerCircleForJasmine (and Jamie too, tbh).

xo, DP

Ew’s connections??

So, I’ve sent asks about this on @into-control’s blog and decided to make a post. Big ass disclaimer: I don’t have more knowledge about media,PR,industry etc. than any other average cs. This is no solid evidence whatsoever,it’s just pure speculations from my side about how Ew could have possibly reached Camila’s team or how he was chosen for her beard or or or.. That will always remain a huge question for me. Even if there was a contest for the worst beard ever, they would not have chosen someone as bad as him.

Keep in mind:

1)I have no idea how far and deep these connections are/were. If I wrote a book, I wouldn’t thank random people who I’ve met just once in my life sooo.. I also don’t know if he maintained any contact with the people mentioned in his book. From the impression I have, I’d say he is a freeloader,mooch,parasite and would do anything for profit and free ads for his scammer business, So I think he did maintain the contact to those people.

2) His book was published in 2013. After the release his joke of a career unfortunately got bigger and maybe his connections too. His ego did for sure.

3) English is like my..third? language so I apologize in advance for any mistakes, incorrectly used words and shit. *dis post is powered by my coffee machine btw

 So I was searching for Ew’s PR team but I found this instead

which lead me to this part of his scammer book.

Apparently, Mr. Pissey knows a lot of people.

“Everyone who has made my TV career possible: Sean Perry and Ivo Fischer at WME”

WME WME is talent agency and represents artists across all media platforms, specifically movies, television, music, theatre, digital and publishing.

“ WME Partner Sean Perry Elected HRTS President “ “ Perry, who is co-head of WME’s non-scripted television department “ looks to me like he is a big deal,hm?

Ivo Fischer is a talent agent at WME.

Then I remembered that Camila’s agents Todd Jacobs and Kirk Sommer also work for WME. However, it turned out there were a lot of artists who are signed to WME.

And then Uncle Simon popped out with this: Simon Cowell Signs With WME Agency “Top reality star and producer Simon Cowell and his music, TV and film company Syco Entertainment have signed with WME. The agency will work on continuing to expand Syco’s film, scripted and unscripted television departments as well as its music brands.”

The scripted and unscripted TV departments are where Ew’s people work.

“Syco extended into feature films with the 2013 One Direction 3D documentary This Is Us. Earlier this year, Syco teamed up with Kenny Ortega on a music-driven film set up at Sony Pictures. “

This kinda rang a bell to me -  and here comes Cinderella

“Cabello will not only star in the project, set up at Sony's Columbia label.... Corden is also producing the feature project with Leo Pearlman, his partner at Fulwell 73.... Cabello is repped by WME and manager Roger Gold...”

Fulwell 73 is a television, film and music production company based in London. One of the founders was Leo Pearlman, who according to wikipedia etc worked on the production of  One Direction: This Is Us (Sony/Columbia), which was produced by Simon Cowell himself.

I know, Simon isn't involved with Cinderella,James Corden is the one who is gonna produce it, but I wouldn’t be surprised if uncle Simon has something to do with it SOMEHOW,idk. ( I love conspiracy theories )

okay,moving on.. ew mentioned Sloane Delancer twice in his book so I thought I’m gonna continue with her. She worked with a bunch of other people Ew mentioned too on Ready for love,a TV shitshow where he  made appearances, being a shitmaker matchmaker. Sloane also was the producer of America’s got talent in 2015. If you don’t know the Got talent franchise is created and owned by uncle Simon and Syco. Cowell's AGT is broadcasted on NBC.

Ready for love - team

Aired on NBC, produced by Eva Longoria. The other exec producers were David Garfinkle and Jay Renfroe, who are producers for a lot of shows. they also founded Renegade 83. Jay was also nominated for Emmy twice.

Jason Ehrlich was also a exec. producer for Ready for BS but is also known for being the co-executive producer for The Bachelor and its spinoffs. doesn’t surprise me. As of 2012th he works in NBC. “He also worked under an overall deal for Warner Horizon as an executive producer on "High School Reunion," "Hitched or Ditched," "The Lamas Life" and as an executive consultant for "There Goes the Neighborhood."Before his work with Next Entertainment and Warner Horizon, Ehrlich was an executive producer of a film for the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. This film featured documentary work for the Grammys which included Beyonce, Tina Turner and the Foo Fighters.” - I found this here so I don’t know how credible it is.

Susan House - same shit, the Bachelor, Ready for throwing my TV, but also Hell’s kitchen which is somewhat cool.

Greg Goldman is also the chairman of studio Lambert,own by All3Media

Ready to die was hosted by Giuliana and Bill Rancic.

Giuliana is working at E!News. Yep,that’s the exact same shit place where the exclusive beach photoshoot came first from. She works there since 2002 and is quite a big deal there.

 Bill is..just check his wikipedia page. here you can see few of them together

Creative Visions

Jon Turteltaub is an American film director and producer. Kathy Eldon, Amy Eldon and Simon Eldon-Edington are also producers and writers.

Creative Visions

Jon Turteltaub is an American film director and producer. Kathy Eldon, Amy Eldon and Simon Eldon-Edington are also producers and writers.

Louise Roe is an English television presenter, model, and fashion journalist. I guess they are still friends, Ew was guest on her youtube channel or she was on his,idk.

Virginia Hill

 Camilo Valdes

Altogether I’d say that guy had a lot of connections back then even tho he was basically nobody (at least it looks like that to me). He knows a lot of people who work either for NBC or ABC. He knows people who know people. I don’t have exactly a theory but in my opinion he used his contacts and tried to reach someone with more power and influence in order to try and boost his career and his company. Everyone knows that famous people use fake relationships for publicity and he probably thought he is a celebrity too and took the things in his hand and offered himself as beard.I don’t know.

Like I said this does not prove anything

feel free to share your opinion or debunk this pathetic theory of mine, in the meantime I’m gonna wait to be recruited by the FBI, I’m just kidding. Maybe not.
