⚠︎ the stalker

sfw, mdni, beta read by @fluffula | tags ;; masc yandere x gn reader — stalking (duh), themes of self deprecation/lack of self worth, erotomania

hii im back from my unannounced hiatus bc i have more time on my hands :] ik vega didnt win the poll but fsr theyre the only one i could get myself to write sooo 🫶 i know im super rusty since I haven't written in ages so sorry if this is a lackluster return fic. it just be like that

vega just wasn’t the type of person that people liked. it was a fact, and he was well aware of it.

they were lanky and awkward, unkempt, and often didn’t know what to say or do in any given social situation. no one went out of their way to interact with them and vice versa. the few times he ended up around others anyway, he always found himself sidelined by the few people he could refer to as friends — they’d never be the focus, if they weren’t forgotten about entirely.

they weren’t anyone’s first choice. hell, they weren’t a second or third choice, either. it was a sad existence that he had accepted long ago — why bother trying to fit in if he wasn’t wanted? he was so boring, he wouldn’t wanna hang out with himself either, anyway. so every day and every night, they were alone.

then, he met you.

it started so simply. you started working at the same office as them, and they knew off the bat that it was your first time in a place like this. they expected nothing of you — maybe a lukewarm greeting as you passed each other during the workday, but not much more than that. so it surprised them when after your introduction, you rounded their desk and gently asked if they could show you around. maybe it was something about your tone, maybe it was that friendly look in your eye, maybe it was just you as a whole. but something about you just got them. they were out of their chair before they realized it.

they weren't the talkative type, but it didn't matter — you kept asking questions during the entire tour. what was that room for? how long had they been working there? did they like working there? you wanted their attention and they for the life of them couldn’t get why. even less so, they didn’t understand why they were so ready to give it to you. they couldn't help the way they stuttered out their answers to your questions, nor the way their face flushed after you laughed at the way they responded. but you did have to work, so you withdrew from them eventually to do just that.

well after you departed to your cubicle, you remained on their mind. your voice, the way you laughed, how you looked, it all swirled around in their mind as they sat in their desk. it remained that way the entire day, the following night, and the day after — they couldn't get you off their mind!

you chose him. you chose him, out of everyone else in the office. you were the only person that did that, and it made them feel so seen. so real, so… loved? was this what love was? the pounding in their chest and their flushed face would make him believe so. they couldn’t wait to see you again. just the thought of you returning the next day and every day after that bloomed butterflies in their tummy.

vega’s longing for you only grew more and more intense after every passing day. every day you came to work, they’d be the first to greet you and the last to bid you goodbye. they even changed their days off to match yours — going to work hardly seemed worth it if you weren’t there to make the day more bearable. every day they sat at their desk, daydreaming about spending time with you, going home with you, doing all the things they never imagined that they’d ever do before. and even though they were too awkward to seek you out during the work day, it didn’t stop them from staring at you every chance they got.

but after that first day, you paid less and less attention to them. you had work to do, after all, and no matter how hard they yearned for you, it grew harder to get you to notice them and harder for them to watch you. it was excruciating. for the first time in his life, vega wanted to be wanted — by you, specifically. he wanted your attention, your voice, your eyes on them again. but if they couldn’t have that, they needed to see you more to make up for it.

the stalking started small at first. occasionally following you when you got up from your desk to give a file to your supervisor or use the restroom, pretending to be distracted should you ever notice them (which you hardly did — they didn’t know if that bothered them or not). sometimes he ended his day at the same time yours ended so he could walk out with you, watching you leave from their car before they left themself. and eventually they started to follow you home directly. it was always from a distance. they wouldn’t want to frighten you, after all! it was okay as long as you weren’t bothered by it, he told himself.

he memorized your routine so he could base his own around it. you went to the store? he was going too. spending the day at the library? he was stalking after you from a different aisle. sometimes they’d leave little gifts on your doorstep just to see your bewildered reaction. watching you became his favorite pastime — they almost liked it more than talking to you directly. you somehow never noticed them lurking, staring at you from some shady hiding spot, panting and trembling just from the sheer excitement that your existence caused them. were you aware of just how cute you were when you thought no one was watching you? knowing all your bad habits, your mannerisms and all the things you did in private was exhilarating. it was like a secret for just the two of you. and whenever you came into work and talked to him like you usually did, it made him so fucking excited. did you know? maybe you did and you were fine with it. that had to be why you were so nice to them. they loved the idea of you liking their bad behavior.

vega had no plans of confessing to you anytime soon. he had so much fun stalking you, he saw no need to ruin it with his feelings. besides, you liked them back anyway — you had to have, why else would you let him get away with it for so long? he knew you wanted him, and he wanted you in return. all he had to do was wait for you.

"your fanservice should not be as important to you as getting a well-written third game,"

sure because forbidden west and burning shores are peak writing and good development right? the pacing isnt a mess, the rushed relationships arent a mess, the villains are underdeveloped as fuck.... what the fuck you are talking about a "well written third game" over a bad written and rushed ship that would also be fanservice? just please. thanks to people like you who defend that shitty writing of seyloy we are going to have a big mess for the third game

“shitty writing” you either have never had a girlfriend that you didn’t meet through an app or you’re not sapphic. my girlfriend and i played the whole dlc together and felt it was such a natural development of the crush. especially between two ~20 year olds (seyka seems like she might be a lil bit older than aloy bc of her status as an officer). the worst part of the DLC was londra tbh. his “cult” felt underdeveloped and confusing. but sure, go off abt how seyloy ruined it instead of how it actually added something of more value. londra felt like he was just there to force gameplay while aloy and seyka’s relationship felt like the true focus imo.

who knows?? seyka could have been written for the third game before they decided to introduce her sooner in the dlc. forbidden west was actually really good and i don’t understand why you’re searching through the tags if you actually thought it and the dlc was bad. i haven’t defended seyloy or talked abt it in the tags in over a month. and tbh i’m getting tired of defending it because interacting with y’all is exhausting. you try to sprinkle in opinions with no foundation/proof about the main story to act like you’re not just upset about seyka. the true supporters and fans of guerrilla can peer through your thinly veiled bullshit to see that you and the others are just upset cuz you’re obsessed with your fav/kin ship and NOTHING else can compete with/replace it. just look at the quote you chose to reference. struck a nerve, did i?

you sound like a bunch of middle-schoolers with all the whining and bitching about something you don’t get to, NEVER WILL get to control. because it’s not your fucking story. and it’s not mine either. i’m not writing that shit! i’m just part of a vast audience of plenty of other people who don’t agree with you weirdo little diehard talanah/erend fuckers. don’t buy the games if you hate them so much, don’t pick up horizon 3 when it comes out. leave guerrilla (especially the writers), kylie, and ashly the fuck alone. you’re making those of us who ACTUALLY feel normally about this game look deranged. there’s so many things to be excited about that already exist in the games, so much to look forward to, and so much positive shit you could be focusing on. but you waste your time complaining about a 9/10 game. find something better to do with your time cuz even while hiding behind anon you’re embarrassing yourself.

[a-little-unsteddie]

not to like, hop on the fuck tumblr train that’s been going around but choo choo motherfuckers i have an idea for a social media platform that will be completely feral. if you know coding (bc i do not) and you want to actually genuinely help with this let me know!! because i think i have something fun here.

at the beginning of the most recent wave of stupid updates that tumblr has so wonderfully (/s) supplied us, and when twitter became x, i realized that there’s kind of a gap in the market of a genuinely good social media platform and i was split between two options in my head.

Orbital, a “serious” social media platform that would have a lot of themes around space and take itself seriously as a genuine competitor for the virtual black hole that x and instagram and facebook has left over the last few years.

or Foolery, a less serious social media platform that would not take itself seriously and lean into the fuckery that is tumblr and twitter and somehow combine them, with themes around the circus and other performative careers.

can you guess which one i want to do?

(Foolery, it’s Foolery. i am obsessed with this stupid idea.)

so, i have put some thought into this. like, not a lot, but more than none! here is a few of the basics that i have thought about:

The sign-in/sign-up page would have a randomized slogan from a list of however many we come up with. ‘Welcome to the show’, ‘a place for tricks and treats’, ‘a place filled with shenanigans’ etc

Home Icon - a big top circus tent, where you would end up doom scrolling content. this would have two different modes, similar to tumblr, it would default to chronological, but you could also chose to participate in an algorithm.

Profile Icon - a clown nose, on desktop every time you click on it, it honks like a clown nose does. view your account here.

Creating a post would be called ‘Create an Act’ with different forms available—text, picture, video, poll, etc. the icon for this would be a quill.

Followers would be labeled as the Audience, which would be toggle-able, by default this is set to private, which means that only the owner of the account would be able to see the number, but can be turned public. There would also be an option to just list your Troupe, which would be your mutuals.

There are three admin accounts—Tom, Foolery, and Tomfoolery. Foolery is the publicity, Tom is the cryptid user that appears randomly to comment on peoples post, and Tomfoolery is updates, polling, feedback, etc.

Tickets are notifications as a whole—how many interactions with the post there are, whether that’s likes (peanuts), reposts (unnamed, maybe just reposts ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), comments, etc.

Peanuts are likes. It means you enjoyed the Act (post). maybe feeds the algorithm.?

Golden Tickets are similar to blaze—you can use a Golden Ticket to boost an Act, whether it’s your own or another person’s, so it shows up as a recommended Act for more people in the same fandom/side of Foolery.

now onto the even less thought out ideas, but things that have been on my mind:

I want there to be a tagging system similar to tumblr, but a filtering system similar to ao3? idk if that makes sense, but my basic thoughts are: +tags are used to add to a certain tag and can be searched using that tag. -tags are used to exclude that tag, and can be used to avoid the tag itself. (ex. a post tagged with ‘+steddie’ would be able to be searched using the tag, but a post tagged ‘-steddie’ would specifically be excluded from that tag, but still used as a kind of ‘content warning’ type thing, like ‘-tw blood’ or something similar)

Tragedy/Comedy masks? idk what for, but i think they’d be fun.

Jester Hat - used to signify ‘official’ accounts? i doubt companies or celebrities would use Foolery because obviously but like. just in case, we can publicly shame them for using the literal clown app.

porn. nudity. whatever. nsfw SAFE babes. all your porn is welcome.

anti-ai sorry not really lol

and that’s all the thinking i’ve done about it. but like. i think it would be fun to create, i just don’t have the knowledge nor the resources to actually create a website or app. and if you couldn’t tell, it’s definitely slightly inspired by tumblr minus all of the bs that it’s doing lmao.

so. dm me ig? if you wanna do anything with this? i warn you now: idk what i am doing. i don’t have a discord set up or anything. and! nothing will probably come out of this. however!! it might be a fun project to fuck around with. my roommate is trying to learn coding and one of my closest online friends is in college for it, but i know nothing about it whatsoever and i think that we three people cannot do this alone.

#i don’t even know how to tag this post #social media #foolery #unsteddie ramblings #social media app idea #apps #uhh #idk #someone tell me what to tag this as and i will #long post

𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞’𝐬 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 !! 🎊🎉

hi my lovelies! it's my birthday in a month and I wanted to host a lil event! it’s been a minute since I had a sleepover, and especially since my last one had to be cancelled due to personal reasons, I really wanted to have a do-over. I’m also nearly at 7k followers which is absolutely mind-blowing to me so it’ll be a lil celebration of that as well, maybe I can even actually make it to 7k in time for my actual birthday but we’ll see!!

this sleepover will consist of two parts; 'writing requests' and ‘send me things’, please see below for more info on each part <3

general info;

the actual sleepover will take place from Mon 25th July to Sun 31st July, with my birthday being on Weds 27th

due to the contents of this sleepover you must be 18+ to interact / join in; if you’re under 18 you shouldn't be anywhere near my page to begin with

if you would like to request some writing from me please start sending them in as soon as possible so I have the time to get them done before the actual sleepover week

all writings, asks, and posts related to the sleepover will be tagged under #hope hooray

rules for writing requests;

IMPORTANT: writing requests are now CLOSED!!

please read before sending me a request, thank you

I will only be writing short drabbles and headcanons, nothing too long

I will only be writing for characters that I have never written for before / have not written a lot for

because of this rule Druig, Matthew Murdock, Bucky Barnes, and Eddie Munson will not be available for requests bc I have already written for each of them quite a few times

here is the list of characters I write for and who you can request something with

if there’s someone not on my list that you’d like to request for please feel free to ask and if I do know of them I might be able to do something for you, but I can’t promise

I will be writing a limited number of requests (somewhere between 10-15 depending on how I get on and how many requests I actually receive)

the requests I choose to write will be picked depending on what I like the most / what gives me inspiration, it will not be a first-come first-served basis

I will also choose my selection of requests to encompass as many different characters as possible, so I really do encourage people to pick a variety of characters from my list!

please do not get upset or angry if I do not chose your request, it is nothing personal, it’s just about what I feel most inspired to write

you can send me your own idea for a request or you can choose from the following prompt lists if you’d like

hurt / comfort prompts | fluff & smut & angst prompts

you can pick multiple prompts if you’d like, but it’s preferable to have no more than two mixed together, at most three

angst and fluff will be written with gender neutral reader, unless otherwise specified

any smut requests will be written with female / afab reader

all other rules for making a request can be found here, including the limits of what I will and won't write

send in writing requests!!!

Okay so I’ve been struck with an idea I really want to share and you seemed like the type of person who might like it? It’s kind of a ramble so I’m sorry if this is bothersome

You personally really opened my mind to HTTYD polyships (love your OT6 works) and in the idealized universe in my head (everyone has one of those right? 😂) I’ve been constructing a polycule and just a few days ago while thinking really hard about this fic based on all those with Hiccup raised by dragons but with Dagur instead; rolling it around and exploring the idea of how that Dagur might interact with the other characters when I was hit by a sudden brainwave. What if he became smitten with Toothless? Like if he was raised by dragons it would make sense that he would be attracted to dragons first and foremost however his relationship with Hiccup might develop. And then it was only a small jump to apply this to a more canon-adjacent universe; where after some time in a relationship with Hiccup (who is separately dating Toothless amongst others) Dagur would sometimes hang out with Toothless separately maybe if Hiccup was doing something neither felt the need to tag along for(he is the only person other than Hiccup to call him by a nickname, T, after his redemption but that might just be a Dagur thing he calls a lot of people by nicknames but something about him calling Toothless T just struck me as awfully friendly of him). And as they spend time just hanging out maybe they both become fonder of eachother than they were expecting. And then they date too.

And this also like connects Toothless in the polycule more if that makes sense? Like if he was only dating Hiccup and was just committed to his Soulmate for the rest of his life that’s one thing but after THW (which of course has to have it’s bones picked for good parts that are few and far between) he also has the Lightfury who I guess he could just be seeing for family-rearing purposes if that’s a direction he wanted to take his life in but couldn’t before. But it does show him committing to a romantic relationship outside of Hiccup so the fact that he wasn’t dating anyone else almost seemed weird like he never had romantic feelings for anyone but his rider? No one was interested in him? IDK I guess it just seemed interesting to me to explore Toothless in a relationship with someone who wasn’t his soulmate or the drakina he had kids with

And I’m imagining after Toothless realizes he has feelings esp requited he decides to court in a human manner bc I headcanon Toothcup just kind of falling together easily. Like they have a conversation about love and romance, probably after GOTNF, actually now I’m trying to outline a separate fic at you I’m sorry but just know that I’m my head they skip straight from besties to almost literally married (as in, literally but in the dragons culture) in like, one conversation. So Toothless has never courted before so he does things like grabbing a mouthful of flowers ect. ect. And Dagur I’d like ‘Oh gods why is this happening again. I was terrible to him, I hunted him, WHY DO I NOW HAVE A CRUSH WHY DO I KEEP MAKING TERRIBLE IMPRESSIONS ON PEOPLE I WANT TO LIKE ME’ and is genuinely baffled but delighted that Toothless reciprocates. I’ve only been turning this over for a day or two so I’m not sure how he acts in the relationship but I’m so invested in the two of them slowly building up a relationship outside of their shared feeling for Hiccup. Like I’ve always liked them being genuine friends but this just hit me out of nowhere and I really wanted to share it.

And I guess I chose you because when I thought of the intersection of Dagcup, Toothcup, and general HTTYD polycule madness I thought of you. I love your work in this fandom and I love the way you build encompassing relationships between so many disparate people. I’d love to hear what you think about this little ship idea

Please accept this picture of my HTTYD studies cuddling as payment for reading my excessive ramble

Aww, thank you!!! That's very nice of you to say!!! 🥰

(Very cute picture!!!)

I like your idea! Dagur being raised by dragons (technically, a feral child) definitely works considering how feral he generally is.

As for Dagur and Toothless, I always point repeatedly at the fact that the number one thing that gave Hiccup pause, that made Hiccup want to trust Dagur is that Toothless let Dagur (who had previously been pretty hostile to him) ride him to save Hiccup. Toothless is a good judge of character. (He let Hiccup live, after all.)

And yeah, Hiccup and Toothless being practically married by the end of GOTNF is good. I mean, one could easily be like "oh the forehead touch in HTTYD2 is when they got married." Sure, but also: Hiccup and Toothless have been married for like, years by that point. That's like, them renewing their vows.

Also love this: "IDK I guess it just seemed interesting to me to explore Toothless in a relationship with someone who wasn’t his soulmate or the drakina he had kids with". Because like, yeah, that's the whole point of fanworks. Let's play in the sandbox a different way!!! Let Toothless have a separate relationship with Dagur (whether it's casual or serious!).

Anyways! Great stuff!!! I hope you have lots of fun with it!!!

“She was just mad about her copying her theme and that's the only thing she brought up in her original call out posts. And over the recent drama she had no confirmation those stories were about her but she immediately jumped on the chance to get more attention and came here blowing up the blog. She isn't entirely innocent she just loves to play victim and get attention from people”

first of all, i did bring up everything in my tumblr post that was mentioned in my original call out posts, the stalking, the bullying and faking dms, finding my vanilla depop account which i literally never posted before just so she could save and like everything in my shopping list, the harassment. even when i came back from my break and discovered she scammed my friends, i made a post about that in support of those she scammed. the only things i did not bring up in the original call out posts were the abuse towards her ex daddy, her cat, and a couple other things i was told, as i didn’t know then and it wasn’t in relation to what she was doing to me. i honestly don’t get what you get out of lying about me? you sound like the exact same anon that constantly writes about me on here. this is genuinely my only tumblr account, and to my knowledge you can’t send yourself anonymous asks from your own account. i started posting on my tumblr again two weeks before i even deactivated my other socials, and even then i was receiving asks from non-anonymous users too. the hate and the asks about tumblr started when someone sent me an ask saying they’re glad i am gone and that i bullied bandage out of the community, which is not true, i said my part and they responded asking me what happened, so i told them. i haven’t talked about her since last year.

as for the cinawol situation, her and i aren’t even on bad terms, we talked about it and just chose not to interact with each other as her actions went against my boundaries about minor friendly accounts being shared to kink accounts. there’s nothing hateful between us at all. those are my and plenty other kink accounts boundaries. i am not in the wrong for not wanting to see minors as young as 15 being tagged in photos being shared onto a kink account. i never brought that situation to the blog, i never “blew up” the blog, someone else did. i never understood why it was brought here as i thought it was common knowledge not to share pictures to your kink account if a minor is tagged in it? stop pretending you know me or anything about me, because you clearly don’t. i haven’t done anything to anyone ever, you just don’t like me and that’s fine. but at least have legitimate reasons to hate me and send me hate instead of “she just wants attention” and other mean, untrue things. i shouldn’t even bother sending in this because it’s not as if you’d actually listen, but stuff that like really affects people, especially getting accused of stuff you didn’t do, assumptions about you, etc. it’s inevitable bc it’s a gossip blog but if you were getting accused of stuff you didn’t do/say and receiving anonymous hate daily, having your whole personality dictated by an anonymous person on the blog, you’d feel shitty too.

I believe you girl.

Why I will never RB your Art if you say “Don’t Tag as X” (And why I will probably block you for it)

Okay so I’ve seen this. So many times in the tags, so many times on art posts that were otherwise good and awesome that I would have reblogged--but then I saw the “Don’t tag as X” thing, and rolled my eyes and chose not to RB the art. In some instances, I even block the artist.

Most of the time, this is in relation to ships and art that can be interpreted as shippy but the original artist doesn’t want their work to be interpreted that way. Which is the first red flag for me--art is meant to be interpreted in a million different ways. No two people are ever going to interpret any kind of art the same way as another person. So trying to control how people interpret your work is at best, a fools errand.

However that’s more of a petty reason above all else--the main reason why “Don’t tag as X” is a huge problem is, in relation to how people interpret things differently, is that no matter what you do, people WILL interpret your art in a certain way. A certain way that may involve being a trigger for them.

So let’s say I see an art piece that is... let’s say it’s for Character B and C. The artist asks me not to tag my potential reblog as BC. Let’s say I decide to oblige by the Artists request and don’t tag it as BC.

So let’s say we have Follower X. X used to heavily ship BC to hell and back, but because of harassment, they can no longer even look at B and C together without thinking about the harassment they faced. It’s a proper trigger for them. It’ll give them panic attacks upon seeing it.

Now let’s say we have Follower Y. Y never really shipped the ship itself, but their ex shipped it a LOT. Their ex was abusive. They associate the ship with their ex, so the ship is a trigger for them--just seeing B and C together triggers them. They get sick to their stomach upon reminders and avoid the ship for their mental health.

Follower Z is a bit different. They just don’t like the ship, and want it tagged for blacklisting purposes. Vague art of B and C being cute and cuddly included.

So now here’s a problem with “Don’t tag as X.” The artist doesn’t want me to tag their B and C art as BC. Except three followers really need that ship tagged as BC.

“But it’s not ship art!”

It doesn’t matter if it is, or isn’t “ship art.” Well what you mean is “romantic ship art” anyway, so any and all platonic art is a form of ship art, but I digress. It doesn’t matter if it was intended as ship art or not. People will interpret it as ship art regardless.

“You can make blacklist tags for those followers!”

No, I can’t. Not for everyone. I never said I personally knew X, Y, or Z as my followers. I can’t tag what I don’t know--and if I tried to tag every post with “(Follower) don’t look” I’d have a bajillion tags like that. It’s not practical.

“But tumblr makes you see tags in your activity feed and I don’t want to see people tagging my art as X!”

Oh well. Sorry, but I can’t really feel a lot of sympathy for people who are making it more difficult to allow others to curate their own experiences.

“But it triggers me to see my art tagged as X!”

That’s a right shame. However, you should be aware that even if people RB your art without the tag, people will still consider your art in a way you don’t like. This is something to discuss with your therapist or peers, because trying to police how others interact with your work is not it, fam.

“I’m still going to say don’t tag as X.”

Then be prepared to get blocked. I’m not obliged to RB your art, and I don’t want to see your art anymore if I can’t reblog it safely and add tags that I think are necessary.

“But you’re hurting artists by not RBing their work! You should just respect their boundaries!”

I am respecting their boundaries, but nice straw-man. Me not RBing their art is a form of keeping to that artist’s boundary. “Don’t tag as X”? Then I won’t reblog it, meaning I won’t tag it as X. Congrats, boundary respected. The artist might not like it, but that’s just how it is.

If they want their work to be seen by the mass public, they have to get comfortable with the idea that people are going to misinterpret their art and intentions behind their art, and that’s okay. If they are not at that stage of acceptance, they aren’t ready for it.

Anyway, that’s my Hot Take of the day. Brought to you by someone who’s seen “Don’t tag as X” one too many times.

Cass / 22 / mentally ill, that’s why this blog exists in the first place.

About me and this blog:

I am 100% pro-recovery, and if you chose to recover or are on the path, I will cheer you on. Recovery is such a beautiful thing.

This blog is 18+. If you are a minor or I find out you are a minor, I will block. Of course you can lie, I can’t stop you from that. It’s nothing against you, I promise. I was under 18 when I started my first ed blog, so I get it. I’m just very uncomfortable with people that much younger than me interacting with the kind of things I post

I don’t usually post with any tags, especially anything ed related, just to minimize the chances of my account getting t-worded. if you do reblog any of my posts, I ask that you tag with caution, for the safety of my blog as well as yours 💚

I am part of the LGBT+ community, and I support the community. if you’re not cool with that, deal with it or leave.

I’m super into mcr so if you ever wanna dm me and chat about the band/music, I’d be so down for that.

My Tags (i’ll finish this when I have time)

#cass.txt = pretty much all my text posts

#cass.pics = photos and shit. may include bc’s but those will also be tagged as such

# shut up cass = rants. some may be ed related, but I haven’t used it in awhile

# life of cass = posts about my life, usually not ed related

#ask cass = for when send ask

#cass has a job = posts about work shit

# cass needs therapy = new tag for specifically mental illness/sh/ed related posts

your own words.. “first of all, it isn’t even a real relationship” yet you’re acting like steve and the ship is and you’re making scenarios in your head. literally fighting headcanons with headcanons. and it is WEIRD to make a sapphic ship about a man. “Yes a MAN is at the center of a relationship between two WOMEN.” bc yeah!! Robin is not her OWN character she’s property of Steve’s character and she needs to do what he says. and likes only what he approves even if Robin’s heart wants what it wants!!! Best friends forever <3 in canon Robin is pushing Stancy but yeah!! Let’s make a fuss about a NON CANON ship !!

Also "if nancy was the man people would hate her" is so funny because that girl has been overhated since season 1 even when Steve slutshamed her. Also if my boyfriend slutshamed me to the whole town (no matter if he cleaned it up bc people already saw it to change the way they view me) and if he expected me to get drunk to get over my best friends death i wouldn’t love him either !! Fuck that guy. last thing: if you LOOOOVE Steve is so funny you try to erase his development with the “steve s1 defender” like he was an asshole even his bff robin said it <3 but yeah let’s defend him while i shit on nancy for everything at this point (things i’d love and defend steve if he had done it!! < that’s literally u)

this ask was kinda incomphrensible, but i’ll do my best to answer it anyway!

so, i suppose my point wasn’t clear enough, but “it isn’t real” is that not only are they fictional characters, but it is a FANON ship. there is no evidence for it in the show. so these people getting annoyed at men being inserted into a sapphic relationship, are just making up things to be annoyed about. there are no real lesbians being harmed.

also, this isn’t just to you, but it is so strange to me that people think considering other people in a relationship is making that ship about them. you can’t use the fact that r//nance is a sapphic ship just to say they can do what they want and it doesn’t matter who gets hurt. that’s not how life works.

i’m not sure what headcanons you think i’m making up, i honestly can’t think of anything. i’m just talking about r//nance and why i think it wouldn’t work. i don’t think you know what headcanons are tbh. i was just explaining basic character traits and how they would work against the ship.

and yes, steve is quite firmly involved in this relationship. nearly every conversation robin and nancy have is about steve. because their interactions are used almost solely to push steve and nancy together

steve would never tell robin to do or not do something, nor have i ever said he would! oddly enough, when i write posts, i’m writing from MY perspective. not steve’s! steve would do quite literally anything to ensure the people he loves are happy, even at the expense of himself. steve, while being unimaginably hurt, would step aside for robin. he wouldn’t do anything to hurt her. he wouldn’t be the one to stop the relationship on account of him, robin would.

now, robin can do whatever she wants. however, i think it would be a terrible thing to do to your best friend. it isn’t that i think robin is incapable of dating nancy, or that steve would stop her, it’s that i don’t think robin would do that. she loves steve, she spends the entire season trying to get nancy to date steve again, because she wants him to be happy. so no, i don’t think she would do something that would cause him pain. because he is her best friend. you can think that robin would actively hurt her friend like that if you want to, but i think that’s a very sad view of her character.

and the only reason I’m criticising this non-canon ship, is because i saw people bashing people that didn’t ship r//nance, which is honestly such a joke. i, however, tagged my posts so people that did like the ship wouldn’t see them. if you chose to willingly engage with discourse about a ship you like, and then got annoyed about it, that is your problem.

“the heart wants what it wants” is such a weird excuse. first all, robin doesn’t even have a crush on nancy, so it’s laughable you think that’s a problem. but the heart can want something that the head knows is wrong. at the end of s2, steve’s heart is still in love with nancy, and wants to be with her. but his head knows they don’t work, his head knows she wants someone else. so why pursue the relationship? let’s say robin had a crush on nancy. her heart may want it, but her head knows the relationship would be devastating to her relationship with steve. and i think she would consider that relationship more important then a possible girlfriend.

and yes, people hate nancy for a variety of reasons, some because of her character traits, some because of her actions, and some because of sexism. however, i was talking about s/ancy. people largely blame steve for how bad the relationship was, my point was that if you make nancy a man, but keep all the beats of the relationship the same, it would be nancy that would come out of the show looking bad. i think she made a lot of mistakes in her relationships, with both steve and jonathan, and the boys made mistakes too. but i wasn’t making a post talking about them, i was talking about nancy and robin. so, if i’m making a post explaining why i don’t think r//nance works, i have to mention her pitfalls, not theirs. unless you want me to centre a sapphic relationship around two men?

now, i like nancy! she’s cutthroat, and unempathetic and does what she wants even at the detriment of others, she’s driven and sometimes she’s so focused on doing what she wants she forgets to consider other characters. i think that makes her an interesting character. what i don’t like is that those flaws are never spoken about, nor even recognised as flaws. the show pretends she doesn’t even have them! which is a terrible way to treat one of the main characters.

people like to bring up the slutshaming a lot, which was super wrong and deserves to be called out! but nancy willingly chose to date steve after s1. so it would be fucked up if she continuously held that against steve after choosing to date him again. but also, she clearly doesn’t hold it against him! it is never mentioned again after s1, and nancy is over it. also! steve did not force her to get drunk. nancy has freewill, if she desperately did not want to go to the party (and considering she was trying to entice jonathan into going and she had planned out costumes with steve, she did), she did not have to! it is not on steve to try and solve nancy’s trauma, and she’s a big girl in control of her own actions.

i don’t think you understand, i know steve’s done bad things. we all know. i just think he’s overhated within the fandom for them, so i defend him. but if you notice, i’ve still called him a cunt, because he was a cunt in s1. but i still like his character! it’s possible to do that, you know? like a character but still acknowledge their faults. i honestly think they make a character more interesting. i suppose it’s fine you want your characters lovely and pure, who’ve never done a thing wrong. but i think you’re watching the wrong kind of shows. like… i’d recommend watching shows for toddlers if you find it hard to understand a character doing a bad thing and still being a good person.

so, yes, i do say i’m a s1 steve defender. people try to separate that season from all other seasons when saying they like steve and i think that’s dumb. s1 steve is brave and caring and over-protective and willing to sacrifice his life to try and save jonathan and nancy. it’s not that i love steve’s bad actions, it’s that i think they’re interesting. steve flipping out at the cheating, and goading jonathan into a fight just because he wants to punch him and be punched, is interesting! i like analysing those aspects of steve’s characters.

also. his bff robin called him a douchebag for not knowing who she was, eating a bagel messily, and because the girl she liked had a crush on him… so…

i think you must’ve only read one of my posts, because of lot of what you’re saying directly contradicts things i’ve said before, which is kind of embarrassing, but to each their own. but anyway, if i’m gonna get criticised for not liking r//nance, and told that means i don’t understand the characters, i’m allowed to make my own post about why i don’t think it works :)

pushing love and light out into the universe, hope you learn that people are allowed to have different opinions <3

[zhongrin]

just wanted to pop in to say 1) thank you for the well wishes and 2) content will still be pushed every saturday night bc i did some writing before and scheduled it all. it should last till mid-february.

also, there's a tag game scheduled to post on the 31st and i don't have the energy to reschedule it in my current state, but please don't let my absence hold you back and participate if you want to. i promise i'm still reading your comments and asks and all. i just don't have the energy to reply and i'm afraid my responses will just sound insincere / flat because right now all i'm feeling is numbness. and i'm sorry if this all sounds flat too but i just had to let this out.

explanation / rant utc. tw: death.

my cousin passed away this morning.

he has been dealing with hepatitis b for over a month. he was admitted to the hospital suddenly and everything just went downhill starting from there. his liver failed and the only option was to find a donor. we found around 10+ people who seemed to match the criteria but they all failed the various checks; from 'their liver is incompatible' to the most ridiculous reason like 'they have no relations to the patient', we heard it all.

me and him - we weren't best friends or anything like that, but we were close enough to consider renting an apartment so i can live there and he can use the spare rooms as offices. as a young child who had no idea how family relationships work, i remember having a tiny crush on him, because i thought he was handsome and nice. he helped me a lot when i was adjusting my life abroad, treating me to meals and using his car to help me move. he had two young kids and a wife. he was only 43 when he passed.

the world could have saved him but they chose not to.

at first. i just feel... numb. with the occasional tears. this isn't my first time dealing with loss. i remember my grandmothers' deaths. one of them just passed two years ago, yesterday. it didn't hurt this much. i'm unsure why. maybe because i interacted with her mostly when i was younger and never really saw her much when i got older, so my memories with her are more blurry and smudged. but not my cousin.

the worst thing is that... today was supposed to be a personal celebration of mine. a key milestone in my life of sorts. we've worked to make this possible for months. but to be more specific it's a culmination of years of effort. to put it simply - i'm supposed to be signing the final agreement to buy my first house this afternoon. and i'm so torn because while i do feel sad for his passing away, there's a part of me - a selfish, horrible part of me - that thinks it's unfair.

it was supposed to be my day. it was supposed to be a happy day. and even as the next year comes, on this day, it will never be a happy day. it will always be a death anniversary and nothing else. when my family sees my house, what will they think of? would they still feel proud? when they move in, would they still do it with excitement? or would they feel dread from the event associated with it? and now i feel so guilty because how can i think like this? and now i'm starting to think, am i even allowed this? am i allowed to celebrate what i accomplished, when my other family members are grieving? is it right for me to burden my family with this when they should be grieving? why why why did it have to happen today? it's so unfair. it's all just so unfair.

my head feels so full, yet i feel so empty.

I don’t understand the point of joking about the toxic thing. And saying “people like that don’t matter” when you don’t know who is behind the blog or the anon. It feels unnecessary when you would be better off just ignoring it.

well, i don’t understand the need to send this message, so i guess we are both confused.

i’ll bite, tho.

there is no use is me arguing about my stories being toxic. i write them that way intentionally. i enjoy creating toxic humans and toxic situations. i also enjoy reading them. there is no shame in that lmao these stories are not real. fiction allows us to indulge in things we otherwise would not enjoy, in real life scenarios, because some of us have sick, twisted little lizard brains that want angst and pain and suffering. and why do i joke? because i am allowed to. and i find it all quite funny.

i don’t need to have compassion for people who attempt to smear my name or insult me rather than have a conversation with me. your response to my words feels a bit dramatic, though. i’m not signing their name in a death note. i am simply exercising my ability to not give a shit about them. if they weren’t cowardly hiding behind anon to cry to others—tagging me bc they wanted me to see it—then i would be more open to their point of view. but they chose to be childish and i am too grown to care.

i also did ignore it lmao. i spent most of the day ignoring it. until someone told me about it, i didn’t even notice because i have that blog blocked lmao. and i have not returned to the post because i do not care. i have no reason to engage, and it matters not if others are interacting with it. although i have no idea what they think makes me a hypocrite, i literally don’t disagree with the claim that my fics are toxic 😂 that’s my brand, babes. other people keep bringing post up to me, and that is the only time i have addressed it. and until you sent this message, i was continuing to once again ignore it.

i’m not sure why you’re attempting to control any part of the narrative, but it’s not needed. i can handle myself. bye!

Alright, Let's have a discussion.

I am fully aware that I am not a big blog, nor is this going to gain much in the way of traction, however, I'm sick and tired of this so it's Soapbox time.

As I'm sure many of my friends and followers have noticed, I've barely been on here the past year and a half. Little to no reblogs from me, no likes, and no new content to speak of. Now, some reasons are not owed to you, but this most recent string of nonsense has broken my silence.

I have spent months, MONTHS watching all my friends get harrassed and chased down by anons for their content, who they chose to be friends with, or even their private issues with other people. I have had several leave altogether, which hurts because I have no other way of reaching them. And if that's not bad enough, you have taken it upon yourselves to FUCKING SPEW YOUR BULLSHIT AND YOUR AGENDA ON THEIR FICS. On a TOTALLY DIFFERENT WEBSITE.

You say we're the ones doing the bullying, the gaslighting, being exclusive of whatever, but the fact is, we don't know who to fucking trust anymore.

YOU...YOU are the ones that are chasing us down wherever you can find us. I have sat here and said NOTHING to anyone, I've kept my had down, barely reblogged or liked anything for fear, and just no desire to have anything to do with any of it. And yet, YOU dragged me into this by coming onto one of my fics, one that hasn't been updated in almost a YEAR, and last reviewed/interacted with in September to clue me in on things that I have no part in. And then you have the AUDACITY to say you're the ones looking out for the oc community. A community doesn't do this. They don't go around spreading other people's business and life choices to strangers. They don't fucking CHASE PEOPLE to harass them, or yell at them, or spew out holier than that BULLSHIT at each other. You deal with things privately. You are just as bad as the anons you CLAIM to be fighting against. So if you are part of this bullshit OFC or whatever letter combination you are a part of, lose my blog, forget my fics, and GROW THE FUCK UP.

My #1 post of 2022

~~ Introducing Highway to Hell: A Stranger Things Story~~

“I’ve been telling you for years, you'd be surprised about the things Nancy Wheeler can and would do...”

The responding statement would haunt Stella Henderson well after it altered her life forever.

“Says the one that went and ditched us the second she got into high school and landed herself some mystery boyfriend.”

The accusation was a false one, but she hasn't been surprised at how Nancy had twisted it when 'sharing' with Barb because it beat the alternative. That the older Henderson was deemed ‘too wild’ by Nancy’s mother, and ‘not good enough’ for her perfect daughter. Playing wild games instead of studying, and partaking in debaucherous substances while she did so. But that wasn't the worst part about the day Karen Wheeler decided that Stella wasn’t allowed in her home anymore, no. wasn't even the fact that Dustin now went over there constantly to partake in a game she’d introduced the younger siblings to. It wasn't even that the very acceptance of it in the boys versus her seemed to cement some antiquated gender roles in play at the Wheelers. No, it was the fact that Nancy seemed to agree and didn't fight for her.

But of course Barb never learned that. Stella had already lost one friend going down that path, so why lose a second, just because Nancy Wheeler "Grew up"? Instead, she caught betwixt two worlds her sophomore year. The world where she’d garnished a truce with Nancy to stay friends with Barb a grade below her, and her secret life of DnD and freakish delight with her boyfriend a year above.

The same boyfriend that snuck into Barb’s funeral to hold her hand, and stayed by her side as she processed the grief. The same boyfriend that she held close and hidden away from everyone who wasn’t in their little club, and would bring her dinner at the game shop- no matter how bad he was at cooking. The very same boyfriend that was unaware of the dangers that continually cursed her brother and his friends the past two years. The boyfriend she’d broken up with in the name of keeping him safe.

But this wasn’t the story of how she lost Barb anyway, or how she’d legitimately rekindled her friendship with Nancy. No, this was the story of how Stella Henderson stopped running from the love of her life, Eddie Munson, and how it took nearly losing him and the rest of her home forever to realize it.

Get your Tumblr 2022 Year in Review →

#tumblr2022 #year in review #my 2022 tumblr year in review #your tumblr year in review

[letitrainathousandflames]

okay i just got two more asks about Nope (2022) and I know the reading comprehension in this website is piss poor, but y'all really did skip my tags on that last ask huh? the one that said

"Don't send me anymore asks about this film, please, I'm trying to forget it"

[ID: a print of tags reading "animal cruelty m/", "animal death m/", "nope (2022) critical" and "dont send me anymore asks about this film pls im trying to forget it"]

The fact that you guys are insisting on bringing up a topic which i specifically mentioned to have caused me a panic attack is beyond me. That said, I'll answer those under the cut for politeness' sake, any following message on this subject will be deleted, as I do not owe anyone to interact with content that is triggering.

Same goes to anyone else btw, no amount of guilt-tripping should force you to talk/see/interact with topics that make you uncomfortable, especially if the other people are damn aware of your discomfort.

Prints of the asks and my responses under the cut, with plenty of spoilers to the movie and mentions of the triggers above, so reader discretion is advised.

Also, before you decide to call me a "racist white woman" for disliking a black-led movie (like someone whose ask i'm not replying did), remember that a) people are allowed not to like things and b) i'm a brown latina of Black and Native descent so maybe stop assuming everyone is white for two minutes bc thats, honestly, is racist.

oh, and just one more thing:

DON'T SEND ME MORE ASKS ABOUT THIS MOVIE

The animal abuse is in the fact that the horses were consistently used as bait by Jupe. Also, OJ dismounts in order to survive by sacrificing his horse to the creature. Furthermore, and this is only my interpretation at this point, OJ states that any creature with a spirit can be broken, which left me wondering whether he and his father were cruel to their horses while taming them.

I've read a lot on the traditional and horrific way people beat horses to tame them, and while I do hope the character took a humane, kind approach, we can't be sure, and that line didn't sit well with me. The animals also get injured and eaten, which i consider also animal cruelty, with the plot to blame for it, but still.

To give a different example, in Secret Window [spoiler], a dog is cruelly killed off-camera before the owner finds it stabbed and dead. I list that as animal cruelty, even if it's off screen, because an animal is harmed and suffers in the story.

that distinction is important though: i'm not at ALL accusing Peele or the crew of abusing the animals. I'm saying that it is a story full of animal abuse. And for me, an animal lover, to sit through a movie like that and enjoy it, the story would have to be damn goo - which, unfortunately, it wasn't.

the amount of bad movies that got explained away by a scoff and a "oh, you don't get it" is staggering. I'm giving my personal view based on my lifetime of personal experiences and media consumption, and my personal opinion is - it's a bad movie.

It's too long, it's pace is clunky, the characters lack personality (not the actors' fault), the chimp subplot being practically a copy-paste of a real life incident from which the victim is still traumatized and disfigured, the use of animals as disposable tools, the plot holes, the lack of sibling dynamic between the characters, the completely open end, it all lead to me wishing i had stayed home painting my toenails.

Films can be deep. They can be layered. They can have hidden meanings, connections left for the viewer to make, etc. But if they intend to be like that, they have to be a puzzle of which some corners and a few pieces are already in place so that you can think and fit the others in place your own way.

They can't just dump the pieces all over you and say "now, make some sense out of this."

And, again, I am so appalled over the disrespect of using a story as recent as 2009 as a scary plot point for an extremely gorey scene. Peele could've come up with an animal-related tragedy of his own, but instead he chose to copy a horrifying true story, without even disguising it with the constant nods at Oprah's name.

Like, at the end of the day, this is my opinion. I found it bad. Poorly written and lazy. I have the right to this opinion as much as you have a right to yours. But you don't get to call me ignorant or anything just because i didn't enjoy a movie you think is deep.

Because honestly, to me, it's shallow and dull, and a waste of all the effort I made not to leave the theater for those two hours and sixteen minutes that i'm never getting back.

[calumthoodshands]

Hey, it's meeeeeeee. So yeah, I totally understand what you're saying and I agree. Like these boys actually chose each other to become a part of their lives and they've always been more than colleagues from the very first day and that's the best thing. I guess if they weren't a band, they could've made vlogs and all and it'd still be that full of life and amazing haha.

But I've a question here, does this fandom has the ships? I meant of course there is, maybe, and if yes, is there any one like superior ship? I guess all ships relating to Luke and Mikey might be dead now? And I'm not talking about bromance ships haha. I just want to know the fd better.

Also, I think you can call me Kia, i don't really have a tag as such and infinity is a not-so-great name, I think 👀

Well then hello kia!!

No ur right tho they could be unironically very popular on YouTube if they had made vlogs or smth like… we all know they’re fucking hilarious when they’re together. It’s practically inevitable. But yes your question. This fandom does have ships! There are actually a bunch of fics on ao3 and i for one am one of the many contributors to it (see my pinned post for example. Or my masterlist). I’m not sure where your Luke/Michael assumption is coming from but quite the opposite actually! statistics wise it’s at the top of the ships! From what i’ve heard the ao3 fandom used to be more active, but there are definitely still a lot and definitely very good writers around now. The circle might be smaller, but the quality holds up. Now idk if you know about this, but you mentioned bromance, and that brings me to a different topic actually, bc 5sos is the first fandom i’m in that has, drum roll, bromance fics! And quite a few actually, even ot4 has been a bit more popular lately. There are some extremely cute ones inspired by the show or just simple cute every day situations, and they’re all worth a read i think. 5sos really are such close friends people said ‘yk what. Lemme just write abt that real quick’ and i think… that’s pretty cool.

One thing about this fandom is also — at least in this corner that i’m in (which is also restricted to slash) — that it’s very aware of the fact that slash is rpf. They’re real people. I know a lot of writers who sometimes struggle with that knowledge, bc many have read or heard that rpf is bad or wrong or whatever, but i really think that most writers here have found a good way to handle it, and know how to write them without… stripping them off their humanity and the fact that they’re actual people who deserve respect. It’s a nice thing to know that and be assured, bc i think it is indeed very important to remember that, especially in fic where you could theoretically write whatever. To me, really, it’s not even like i’m actively writing about them, to be honest. How could I really write about them? I don’t know them. Their fic versions to me are characters, i’m making up a character that is based on their irl person, but that’s… where i draw the line somehow. Fic is about creativity and writing stories and characters, and yes they are greatly based on the actual person, but you can never know if what you write what they’re doing is something they would actually do. Another thing in this aspect is also that 5sos straight up… seem to accept it exists? Idk where or in which interview it was. But they’ve never explicitly said that they think it’s dumb or weird or that fans should stop it. If they did say that, i would stop in a heartbeat. But they seem to be okay with it, and they don’t interact with it, so it’s not bothering them, and it’s very much only here on tumblr/ao3, so it’s like… who cares? And there really are some fucking amazing fics out there, no matter if it’s a hundred or two hundred thousand words. There are so many beautiful fics that handle the most interesting stories and issues and honestly, some of them are just straight up better than some books i’ve read. They make you cry and laugh and wish you could feel that feeling every day. If it wasn’t obvious yet, i love fic. So. Did this even answer your question i don’t know i’m sorry sojdlfjsjdl

I hope you have a nice day thank you for coming here i’m enjoying this!! 🧡

I’m so sorry to bother you, but you left some tags about someone telling you to go run without knowing you and your health problems. 1. Totally understand as a wheelchair user myself but 2. I feel like maybe reframing this for yourself would be more helpful, like if the person does not know you have invisible disabilities, they could just be offering advice that has helped them non-maliciously. You can just chose to note that it probably wouldn’t be good for you bc of XYZ reason they don’t know and move on. Sometimes people aren’t trying to be ableist and malicious, especially since you say you hike.

I think noting how much someone actually knows about your illness can help Re-frame the outlook on the situation. That person probably just wanted to help if they said it that way in that context ! Not everyone wants to hurt you, even if some people do!

ah thank you! In this case I think it was an ableist remark by the tone and the other contents of what they said. I appreciate this ask though! Unfortunately some people just... aren't kind about such things. They did try to argue with me after I brought up a reason I can't and I quickly shut that down. It ended up bothering me way more than it should have and is still pretty fresh in my mind as it happened only yesterday.

I'm grateful that I'm surrounded by people who do genuinely understand and do give good advice! And because my disabilities are mostly invisible, it rarely happens that people outside of my group make any comment at all about them. It's just... unfortunate when they do. Most "advice" I've been given by strangers throughout my life has been thinly veiled to just straight-up unsolicited and disparaging comments about me or my parents for "letting me be disabled" (when in reality they've only done their best over the years to help me succeed as a person despite the struggles they had too.)

Adding disabilities into the equation doesn't negate the respect and decency you deserve... It is my firm belief that everyone, despite their personal situations, should be treated with kindness, and that wasn't even afforded to me by those select few, just because I'm slightly off of what they view as acceptable. It adds insult to injury that they were trying to frame it as "being helpful" in those situations.

In the end, it doesn't matter that I do take care of myself, that I hike, or that I look physically "healthy", there are still people with pre-concieved ableist notions that are apparent when you tell them you have "health problems." People should be afforded decency no matter their problems and that decency should be reflected in what they chose to say to you. After all is said and done, those negative interactions will never be as important to me as the generous and genuine advice that I've been given by those (strangers and friends alike) who were kind to me.

#if I've learned anything throughout the years it's that 1: prejudice serves nothing and 2: #for every judgmental ass there is... there are plenty more people who genuinely care #and that last one applies to you anon :] thank you for genuinely caring and putting in the time to reply #honestly writing the tags in that post helped me sort out my thoughts on why that specific comment bothered me so much #and helped me let it go #(haha who needs therapy when you have tumblr amirite??? /j) #anyway. I hope you have a great day anon! and happy holidays if you celebrate! #fern talks #asks #anon #sorry for the longer reply haha I'm an essayist at heart
