#funny also cause i bring up the same points every single time

[luv4fushi]

thinking about arguing with husband!gojo. it’s funny because he’s the strongest sorcerer alive with several other, more wicked enemies harboring one sided hate for him, yet he’s anxiously glancing at you every now and then as you hiss at him. you’re the only one who can make him doubt his strength.

he usually finds you cute when you’re mad, but right now he doesn’t really appreciate the way your face is scrunched up and how you’re yelling at him.

it’s not his fault. he thinks you’re being so dramatic.

“you’re laughing at me,” you deadpan. “why do you never take things i say seriously?”

“because i honestly don’t think it’s that serious,” he fires back, and your eyes narrow. oh, fuck.

arguing with your husband is never fun. it’s probably because the both of you are stubborn; you’re stubborn because you’re simply right all the time, and satoru’s stubborn because if you’re not right, then he is.

you pause for just a second, but it’s enough to sprout a moment of extreme tension between you and your husband.

“right,” you scoff after you inhale sharply. “you just don’t care, do you?”

“don’t fucking say that,” satoru snaps. “i do care. that’s why i’m here.”

it takes everything in you to not shoot him another death glare. “so i should be thankful for the bare minimum?”

satoru blinks. he would’ve flinched, but he refuses to let you have that sort of power over him. “i’m not giving the bare minimum.”

“yes you are,” you argue back, voice straining as you swallow a lump of anger down the back of your throat.

the both of you are still. it feels like an eternity passes before the anger in you wanes. you’re exhausted and this fight with satoru is surely going to make the both of you upset enough to not talk for the rest of the night.

“i’m sorry that i’m not good enough,” satoru says, breaking the silence. you’ve never heard his voice so small, so pathetic—he’s never, ever shown you this side of him, and you’re starting to feel that dreading pit of guilt tug at your gut.

“that’s not what i meant,” you force yourself to say, sighing.

“but that’s what you’re thinking,” satoru mumbles. he avoids looking at your face.

“no it’s not,” you deny. “it’s never been about that.”

satoru gives you a wary look. “then what is it about? because i’ve done everything i can.”

“everything? really?” you sneer. “do you even love me anymore?”

silence. satoru swears he can hear your heart break.

“baby, don’t say that,” he groans, “c’mon, we were ten points away from three stars. that’s a single plate—one you didn’t turn in because you somehow forgot how to dash!”

you whip around to glower at satoru, your face twisting into an offended expression. “you set the kitchen on fire! how could i do something like serving a dish if the kitchen is on fire?!”

“baby, it’s the same button that it always has been this entire game!” he whines. “and you set the kitchen on fire! you keep forgetting to take the rice off the stove!”

you sigh exasperatedly, crossing your arms to act like some sort of shield between you and satoru’s (truthful) words.

“but you don’t chop up your stupid fish!” you protest. “so i end up doing five things at once!”

satoru opens his mouth to speak, but he knows you’re in the right. he opts to click his tongue instead.

“and every time i asked for help,” you add, frowning, “you just kept bringing out more of the dumbass cucumbers! we don’t have counter space for that!!!”

“that’s for prep to maximize our sushi making! throw it on the floor!”

“are you kidding me? that’s so unsanitary!”

“it’s a game!”

you’re both panting by the end of the fight. you’re biting down on your inner cheek and satoru is scratching the nape of his neck awkwardly.

“… sorry,” he mumbles. “i won’t bring out cucumbers anymore. and i’m also sorry for being mean about you not knowing how to dash.”

“good,” you huff. “‘cause i was seriously not gonna play anymore.”

“and…?” he prods, nudging you in your ribs. you can tell what he wants just by the sound of his voice.

“and i’m sorry for getting mad at you even though you’re doing you’re best at carrying me in this game…” you murmur, rolling your eyes.

satoru’s face brightens and he places a wet kiss on your cheek. “you’re forgiven.”

“love you, dummy.”

“love you too, baby.”

“no more cucumbers unless the ticket calls for them,” you remind him pointedly.

“yes, chef!”

[derangedanomaly]

so, what if you do a Comedian reader x Classic, Nightmare, Cross, Dust, and Killer?

(You can add horror if you want, I just would've guessed he'd be delusional to the jokes the reader makes)

AU SANSES X COMEDIAN READER

(Classic, Nightmare, Cross, Dust, Killer)

Classic:

Oh, looks like Sans found his soulmate!

The first time you told him a joke, he swore that he fell in love. Even more when you told him more.

There's never a dull moment between you two! Always cracking up jokes. (Papyrus might be going a little crazy from your puns 💀)

Is going on all of your comedy shows. Every. single. one. Don't worry, he wouldn't miss this, EVER. In return for him going on your shows, you're going to his! :)

Slowly, but surely, becomes your fan. He has your jokes memorized at this point.

No matter how much he's heard your jokes, he'll always laugh.

You give each other tips for jokes. (Each one more ridiculous, but you guys find it funny 💀)

Well, what else can I say? You're just two cuties.

Nightmare:

Rolls his eyes at your jokes. Is really not all that impressed...

Nightmare's more of a fan of dark humor, so the right way to get to him, is by telling him a dark joke.

Trust me, it'll take EVERYTHING in him to not laugh at that joke.

You decided to take on the challenge. Beginning your plan to make the king of darkness laugh.

You send many dark jokes his way, which cracked him up. But he was still holding back.

After this, he got curious and decided to go to see your comedy show. It wasn't really for him, since he doesn't share the same sense of humor, but it wasn't that bad. (Bro's actually complimenting you? 😯)

From this day forward, he'll be going to your shows undercover. (Doesn't want to get caught lacking 💀)

Cross:

Bros a lil emo, so he'll probably act like your puns are not growing on him. (They are)

You once offered to take him to see your comedy show. He denied. 🙄

After you left to your show, Cross literally LEAPED from the couch and ran to see your show! He just needed to know if your jokes are as hilarious on stage as it is in real life.

He can't lie...but he laughed his ass off over there.

He immediately paid for the next show, with you not finding out he was even there!

He can't let you know that he's really not all that mysterious! That would be embarrassing.. ;)

Loves your puns! But you'll never find out.

Killer:

He's that one type of monster to yell; "LMAO, LMFAO, LOL" out loud. His cringe ass always gets you💀🙏🏻

He'll be so proud of you! Look at you, running your own shows, bringing people joy. He's so supportive.

"YOU SEE THAT HUMAN UP THERE!? THAT'S MY HUMAN!"

You would often find yourself embarrassed on stage cause of him...

The first time he found out about you having a show, he immediately wanted to see! (Even after you denied him multiple times)

He never stops encouraging you after that. It's always one praise after another. (I need him in my life bro 😭)

Is willing to punch someone just for you, so if there would be someone creepy, trying to get a feel of you, he won't hesitate to kill him.

Dust:

He's probably the one that encouraged you to start your own show.

Look, maybe he's a little emo...but he's not that big of an emo to not at least let out laughs at your jokes.

Out of all the bad sanses, Dust is probably the one that's the most closest to his original self. (Classic) So it's not a big surprise when he starts saying his own jokes back to you.

He was the one that also helped you make your dream into reality. (Since it was his idea.)

Truly proud of you when you're on stage. Also compliments you, but not as much as Killer. Look, he doesn't wanna embarrass you. 🤷‍♀️

"Hey, you see that human up there, on the stage? The star of the show??" "Uhm...yeah?" "Heh.. that's my partner.." Cue the scene of Dust looking up at you, with a dorky look on his face. "WHAT?!"

Your fans were never the same after that. You and Dust became the targets of what's called, shipping.

Not like Dust wasn't enjoying the thought of you two being a thing ;)

[always---wrong]

Okay, so I wanted to discuss the situation with Alastor, his canonical sexuality, and fans.

I have seen the two sides alot.

So one side ships Al with numerous characters and sees this as casual fun.

And the other thinks this is disrespectful cause he is ace, or Aroace.

(I believe that he is Aroace. His va said so, his character has shown no interest in romance, and Viv may have confirmed it at some point)

Now, I am sex repulsed ace and I'm aro. And I have strong opinions. Alastor is my favorite character in Hazbin Hotel, he is also the FIRST confirmed ace character I've seen. (This doesn't include subtly implied characters) Because Al is the first and I care for him he is very important to me.

My opinion is really mixed because on one side it's; yeah, it is a fandom, and fandoms ship. It's what they do. Its also kind a rude to judge someone for their favorite pairings and stuff, in my opinion.

On the other side though I'm hurt. I am a queer person with basically no rep. And I hadn't realized how upset I was by this until I saw discourse over this character. I had FORGOTTEN that it was possible to have confirmed canonical ace characters. I had gotten so used to that just being a head cannon. And not only just an ace character but also an Aroace character. And not just that but a seemingly non sex favorable ace character. I would even argue he is sex repulsed.

My real problem with all this is:

Yes, I KNOW ace characters can have sex. But do you know who else can? Literally every single allosexual character. I KNOW aros can date. But you know who else can? Everyone else. The appeal of ACTUALLY having characters with the same sexuality as me is that they would be like me. Cause I and other aces like me never, ever get stories like that. So many times in media I would be enjoying a character who had shown NO interest in sex/romance and would suddenly be partnered up with another just for the heck of it. This has happened SO many times it's not even funny. It's incredibly frustrating.

So, the point I'm trying to make is that; YES, there are aces who have sex. HOWEVER, a large number of us do not. And it's like everyone forgets that. Your not writing Alastor having sex with Angel cause your showing the vast spectrum of asexuality. Your most likely writing it cause it's sex between two hot characters. It's simply maddening.

(One thing I wanted to say was, despite the fact that Al is ace i don't think it's bad to find him attractive. He is very pleasing to look at so I understand allos finding him hot. However I'm not sure where I stand with people sexualizing him. I think I'm leaning towards, 'please don't do it'.)

Now, the worst thing though is when I'm looking for content to enjoy. When I found out Al was canonically ace I was so happy and excited. I'm pretty sure this situation wouldn't make me nearly as frustrated if it weren't for the overwhelming amount of sexual content for Al. Some would be fine. I could just scroll past it if this were the case. But it is not. Content for Al is MOSTLY sexual. That's why I don't believe people when they keep saying they aren't invalidating aces because almost every time I go looking for a fic I have to scroll for HOURS just to find few non ship fics.

I can't even use the Asexual Alastor tag because all that does is bring me to a bunch of fics where the author is like 'he's ace trust me,' then proceeds to write smut.

Why can't I even use a tag made for aces without being drowned in smut. It's so frustrating! Like I'm getting to a point where I wish the authors would stop using the tag and openly admit they made him not ace for the story. Like I know your trying to not throw away his canonical sexuality but I mean at this point I think it'd be better if you did. And if someone is going to write sex favorable ace Al then please leave it to the aces. I trust us to at least weave it into his character instead of stating it and acting like it's there when it's not.

So basically: I don't mind if you ship him, just don't say he's ace or Aroace if your neither of those in ship/smut content. I'm sick of trying to find content that isn't sex/romance in Aroace tags!

I don't want to judge people for liking a ship. But I'm really tired.

ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, I would love to see content with Al and Lucifer. Like them hating each other to like frenemies. It would be so funny.

Anyone have any platonic content with Al and the rest of the cast???

Kingdom Hearts: Nobody Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Ontology??? headcanons

saw people talking about more monstrous Nobodies a bit ago (okay it was a long while ago at this point, this has been in drafts for ages) and that reminded me to share some of my thoughts. it spiraled kind of out of control and now this post is ridiculously long. three parts: the physical side, the less physical side, and other thoughts. most of it’s under the cut. enjoy

The physical side

All of these apply to ALL Nobodies, not just the funny squiggly ones.

Alrighty, here’s my proposal: Nobodies don’t have any internal organs. Even the ones that retain their human form. They may look and act like they’ve got regular human body processes, but I like to think that it’s just a hollow imitation. This is why every single Nobody has an absolutely snatched waist

So they’d lack both their metaphysical hearts and their real hearts!

The Organization was founded by a bunch of researchers who got into this mess via unethical human experimentation so you know they tried to pin down the specifics of Nobody biology early on, but every time they tried to use any medical equipment it would come up empty or just straight up not work. And then none of them were willing to get vivisected for the cause lmao

I think the greater Nobodies (human-shaped ones) are made up of the same weird, rubbery flexible stuff that lesser Nobodies are, but just don’t have that flexibility because hey! They’ve got a human form to maintain! They may seem human, but on a biological level, they’re closer to the squiggly guys than an actual human. This is why it’s possible for Xemnas to turn greater Nobodies into Dusks. We never see him do it, but I doubt it’s an empty threat. I don’t think there were any other greater Nobodies in the Organization in the past, but he’s probably transformed one of the specialized Nobodies, like a Dancer or Dragoon, into one of the lowest-ranked ones, like Dusks or Creepers or something.

All Nobodies have the Nobody sigil somewhere on them. For lesser Nobodies it’s easily visible, but for greater Nobodies, it’s on their backs, and since they’re always wearing those coats, no one ever sees it.

If a Nobody is cut, they don’t bleed- instead, little wisps of darkness leak out of the wound, like what happens in the Org’s death animations but on a smaller scale. They can heal faster than regular humans thanks to ✨something something darkness and nothingness✨.

Though Nobodies are supposedly shunned by both light and darkness, they are more aligned with dark than light. Any Nobody can wield light, not just Roxas (as shown by Zexion in Chain of Memories), but it takes great difficulty. However, they can wield darkness with ease.

Nobodies do need to sleep as regularly as humans, but can last much longer without food or water. Rest? Yes! Nutrience? Unimportant

They have no body heat- that’s a corpse, baby!!! That does bring up some questions about thermoregulation. I don’t feel like thinking about it tbh. There’s lots of questions in this vein: can Nobodies get drunk? I think they probably can’t. In 358/2 Days, Demyx says “Wait, training!? That sounds like work, which means sweating. Which is gross.” and that... complicates things! I could chalk it up to how a lot of people in Organization XIII have a tendency to keep acting like they’re humans and nothing’s changed, even though it has.

Nobodies are “born” in any world in the Realm Between. Roxas first appeared in Twilight Town, but some might have shown up by Castle Oblivion, or even the Mysterious Tower (god bless). Showing up in The World That Never Was is probably the most common.

The less physical side

It’s quite an unlikely coincidence that every apprentice of Ansem the Wise had a standout, super strong heart that allowed them to retain their human forms as Nobodies. I think it had something to do with being stabbed by a keyblade, not just their wills alone. That would also align with 9-12 being tied to a keyblade legacy. A strong will is important, yes, but you only get to be human-looking if there was a keyblade involved.

In a Nobody, the most important part of this will is the will to live. Should that ever wane, they Nobody will begin to destabilize, and eventually, they will return to nothingness.

Nobodies have hearts, and they do not have hearts. They have feelings, and they do not have feelings. It’s like the observer effect in quantum mechanics. Anyone who can sense hearts or feelings or whatever will not be able to sense anything from a Nobody, no matter how far along in development that heart may be, reinforcing the belief that yeah there’s nothing there. But there is... and also there isn’t. Both statements are true. A friend described it as “Schrödinger’s Feelings” and it’s the most accurate “Schrodinger’s ____” joke I’ve ever seen made. Someone else described it as depression which is also accurate (source: i’ve had depression). There are bouts of emotion occasionally, but those emotions are dulled (and usually negative) and most of the time there’s only suffocating apathy.

There is some truth to the statement that Nobodies’ feelings are simply recreations of what they might’ve felt back when they had hearts, but it’s also bogus. Memories are important to the makeup of a Nobody, but that statement is often used as an excuse that covers up the reality that there was a feeling there. It’s very easy to lie to yourself when there’s mostly data supporting your argument and any evidence against is less common and easily disputed by “logic” like this.

The most prominent “feelings” in Nobodies are an intense sense of longing and dissatisfaction. For some, the longing is for a heart, but for others it is aimless. That was the idea behind all the Nobodies having little hobbies like cooking and puzzles and reading magazines in the manga. They’re trying to fill that void with anything they can.

In one of the novels, Demyx, #1 proponent of the idea that Nobodies do have hearts actually, gives us this:

I play and play, but I can’t make a satisfying sound.

In truth, I know I won’t be satisfied in all eternity.

If you don’t have a heart, there’s no such thing as satisfaction.

You don’t even think you want to be satisfied.

And yeah, the novels aren’t canon, but it’s still interesting to see and think about. Nothing you do is good enough to fill that emptiness, but you can barely bring yourself to care about it anyway. Yep, depression!

Nobodies are prone to a high amount of introspection. It’s an inherited trait all Nobodies share- if you manage to survive past humanity in a bizarre fucked up state like this, you’re naturally going to be thinking about it. However, they’re all also incredibly bad at it, and generally do a horrible job at self-reflection. This is just an unfortunate coincidence

A Nobody can regrow a heart if they make connections, and are seen and acknowledged by others. Pretty sure that’s just canon. HOWEVER, Nobodies cannot help each other grow hearts- this is why none of the Organization regrew hearts after 10 years of being around each other, and despite connections within the group. 0+0 is still 0, after all. That’s what makes the policy of going undetected on missions so insidious. They’re never allowed the chance to regrow a heart. I’ve already talked about it somewhere else, but this is why Roxas grows a heart so fast- he ignores that rule, for the most part. Axel’s interactions with Sora are also what kickstarts his heart growth.

Hypothetically, since someone doesn’t have to remember a memory for Castle Oblivion to draw on it, the mechanics with the cards and the rooms could have been used to help Xemnas recall his past- considering how much time he spent talking to Aqua’s armor, I think that’s something he might’ve been interested in. HOWEVER! Since the Twilight Town card came from the memories on the other side of Sora’s heart, I propose that the properties of Castle Oblivion would have no effect on Nobodies. RIP.

Other thoughts

I’m not saying Ansem the Wise and Yensid were right about Nobodies! I do think they’re different from humans on a fundamental level, but demonizing them is Not Cool

On the idea that Nobodies aren’t meant to exist: Well. Just like before it’s total bogus bc the main perpetrators of that idea were either bigoted about it or liars or both but I think it’s a little more complicated than “everyone is flat wrong about this”. Nobodies are essentially naturally-occurring byproducts of Heartless. Most Nobodies (or, at least, the lesser ones, based on that one cutscene in kh2 where hearts rain down on The World That Never Was and we see a bunch of Dusks grasping for them) seem to have a drive to reclaim the heart they’ve lost- if reclaimed, that would mean they wouldn’t be a Nobody anymore. Creatures born in worlds of neither light nor darkness, created only through the destruction of another and only some of the time, who don’t even want to exist like this themselves... that’s what “Nobodies aren’t meant to exist” means to me, I think. BEAR IN MIND “MEANT” IS NOT THE SAME AS “DESERVE”

And then! There’s Nobodies who defy that! Or, uh, Nobody, singular. Roxas goes “bro I don’t care I want to exist as I am” and he does that (Naminé... didn’t really seem to share that opinion, if I’m remembering correctly. Probably because DiZ hammered it into her head that she didn’t deserve to exist). I wish we had seen something like that from one of the regular Nobodies- why should recompletion and/or regaining a heart be the ideal? Why do they have to die again in order to be “right”? It just further perpetuates that idea DiZ and Yensid pushed in kh2: Nobodies are Wrong and shouldn’t be around. Unless you’re special like Roxas or Naminé in which case it’s okay. But for everyone else it’s recomplete or bust... anyway this is a tangent I did not mean to go on with this post-

I think it’s interesting, how they’re made of nothingness and their existence is “nonexistent”. Nothingness is, as an element, something, as opposed to true nothing, which is the absence of anything. Nonexistence implies existence. It’s like how in math, sometimes an answer to a problem will be DNE-- that’s Nobodies, and “nothingness”. “Does not exist”, but in writing the answer, it does exist, as a nonexistent entity. As opposed to just... not having a math problem at all, and therefore not having a place to write a solution. That is true nothingness- all the Nobodies of people whose hearts weren’t strong enough to create Nobodies fall under this category. They don’t exist for real. Nothing as something vs nothing as nothing- ah fuck I just realized this is the second time I’ve used a math analogy for kingdom hearts. shit

in conclusion

that’s all of it. probably. i like nobodies a whole lot. now that i’m thinking about it i should’ve made this multiple posts instead of one huge one. if you read all of this you earn my undying love

#kingdom hearts #kh #organization xiii #nobodies #kh headcanons #me post #i dont expect anyone to reblog this one lmao #but it would be nice if someone read it #i spent a stupid amount of time thinking about this #oh my god wait #0+0=0 is technically also a math analogy #fuck ive done this three times #and with the mention of quantum mechanics this post outs me as a super turbo nerd multiple times

[yank-a-ton]

Same anon. Now I need to know your favorite interactions !!!

Hi again! There's so many here, and the more I write the more I remember so I'm just calling it quits with what i've got haha

when Jimmy chews Mike out, tells him he's a drunk lame dad. Michael says "i think that's the nicest thing anyones ever said to me" and Jim's response is "so... will you buy me a car?" It cracks me up every time. 

@mclavellan mentioned the Trevor & Lamar conversation in Pack Man and I agree! You're so right, it's fantastic. Lamar isn't even a little afraid of Trevor. Kindred spirits, man. He has a weird way of calming him down by talking to him straight that I don't think any other character can do. Michael comes close, but something about Lamar, dude. That entire mission is dialogue gold. From the confirmation of bisexuality and cannibalism, to the constant clash of wholehearted understanding, and belittling comments from Lamar. So so good.

The Short Trip and Contract DLCs. I feel like Rockstar kind of dropped the ball when it came to Franklin's story in V. It felt like they wrote and fleshed out Michael's story, needed a character to push that story along, and created Franklin for that purpose. So I'm really glad they've given us two DLCs focusing on him. And even more glad they've got Lamar in there. Their stoned conversations and the speech Lamar gives Franklin about always being there for him and holding his hair back when he used to throw up at his Auntie's? Damn good 

Patricia and Trevor holding hands and or staring into each other eyes when you're playing as Michael  

I love the therapy sessions. You've got this messed up guy trying to get better because he thinks it'll fix everything, but not willing to put in the work because deep down he wants that chaos he became addicted to in his youth. Doc Friedlander says some bullshit, but he also has some really good points too. And Michael does not care either way, because at the end of the day he's just going to go home and keep drinking, wallowing in self pity. When he DOES put in the effort, and starts to really dig for why he's a repressed angry fuck, "thats all the time we have for today" closes the window of opportunity and vulnerability. Shutting it a little tighter every time. When your therapy sessions culminate in you telling your wife that if she tries to turn you in to the authorities you'll "bury her like the rest of them" you've had some interesting therapy. I guess it worked kinda, in a horrible sort of way. 

"Somebody say yoga?" 

Ron seeing this washed up vinewood asshole, whom Trevor used to speak so highly of, and deciding "fuck this guy". Trying to intimidate him but immediately backing down the second Michael speaks. Fuckin funny, i love Ron 

Drunk Michael getting offended  when Franklin suggests he and Trevor ditch him to do "some single dude shit" 

"baNG BANG, QUICK FIRE ROUND. who has a question for uncle T?" 

Amanda bringing up Michael peeing the bed 

Tracey hugging Trevor, and his face changing from a sneer to soft affection 

"Rip it open! See what’s there, baby. Cause I’m ready! " i would give anything for Haines and Davey to have gotten a burger and been 10 minutes later to that meeting. Trevor and Michael have so much tension the whole damn game. Let them beat the shit out of each other 

The hipster argument

"Gasolina? No" 

The confrontation at Michael's. Trevor dreaming big, thinking of a future where they can do what they were born to do, only to be cut off by Michael's announcement that he's going to make movies and doesn't need Trevor in that life. The scene changing tracks when Trevor decides "fuck it" because he knows he's really never going to have Michael Townley back, and the benefit of the doubt doesn't exist anymore. So why not ask him the question thats been burning up the inside of his skull. "exactly who was buried in your place?" Michael uncomfortably clasping his hands and looking ready to shit himself at any moment is the cherry on top. How he can keep trying to lie when he has zero credibility is otherworldly. How he lies to Trevors face at his own grave while Trevor is 12 inches away from the truth is bonkers. 

Trevor sort of hoping Michael will kill him. Trying to goad him into taking the shot at Brad's grave. I don't think Trevor would ever kill Michael, no matter what he does to him. I don't think he even went there with his own gun loaded. He was ready for it to be the end of things. For Michael to right the original mistake of Brad walking in the way of the bullet, and to finally take Trevor out. Trevor's not going to pull the trigger, he hopes Michael won't, but he's ready if he does. Until Chengs men show up and in the confusion he throws the gun at Michael, sending me into whiplash that had me laughing for a good minute 

Every time someone mentions gay people and michael grimaces, lmao 

"How do i look, baby?" "You look like an animated corpse. Hey, you better make sure jim dont shoot you in the head" 

"Big poppa!" "Jimbo!" 

Amanda and Trevor's tennis matches 

The argument raging between Trevor and Michael being stopped by Lester’s “Hi franklin:)” 

Amanda's drunk conversations with Michael when she teases him 

The Big One's alternating cutscenes for the obvious approach. Lester, Franklin, and Michael celebrating the fact that they've pulled off the biggest heist in history, while Trevor just stands there. He knows this was it. His last score with Michael. He doesn't return Franklin's hug in cutscene 1, barely participates in their fun little handshake in cutscene2. When Michael approaches him in either cutscene, arms outstretched to hug him, Trevor throws his hands up and backs away telling him "we're good" Then the "Pride before the fall, sugar. you know that" line if the 2nd pilot died. goood stuff.

"You always liked gasoline, Trevor"

#talkaton #i keep thinking of more but i gotta make dinner #thanks for the ask i love talking about these guys #!

Ooooh valid valid points all around🙏🏻 Great point was brought up regarding the Blossom being a trophy thing cause why are her sisters, who would arguably be just as beautiful as she is, not be viewed the same way?🤔 Is it because y’all can’t stand the women you give great power to to give them more personality than “oo she’s a girlboss everyone wants her oh hmm what makes her great? idk but girlboss!”? Now now every time I read fics like these where she’s completely idolized all I think of is that one scene from the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie of the Chippetes, where the green and purple one are pushed waaayyy behind the pink one so she can take center stage and they’re just back up dancers. It’s a little funny comparison I’m sorry but that’s how I see these types of fics portraying the girls dynamic. The show emphasized them needing each other and the fics will flip that and have Bubbles and Buttercup be essentially useless (you know, because Blossom has every single power ever and is somehow also much stronger than both of them at the same time because logic) just to give Blossom this moment where she’s this unattainable force that’s so hot and everyone wants her and aaaa her comes the pervert who’ll treat her like a trophy! But it’s okay because who else wouldn’t you know? Oh except Brick and Boomer, the only respectful people ever, because Boomer is too irrelevant and in love with Bubbles to do anything and Brick is Mr. Grumpy Over-Protective Pants and he would never(!!) be so rude to the trophy Blossom!! It’s also like, why do you feel the need to bring down and sometimes even demonize her sisters just to give Blossom her moment? Bubbles would just be sweet and in love with Boomer, BC would just be mad and different and Not Like Blossom™️, and then Blossom would be little miss perfect who’s never done anything wrong ever. Oh and they’d be completely useless without her because she knows everything and the fact that they were also smart means nothing because now they’re stupid and barely pass their classes you know? It’s just so much misogyny used here to simply justify the foundation of a relationship that’ll be just as difficult to read because the characters are too stiff and boring😭 ugh there’s so much to say here but in conclusion the show is called PowerPuff Girls so maybe let’s not put the girls down for the sake of boys who showed up for like 3 episodes, yeah?

DAMN THIS IS A WHOLE ESSAY

no for real and there's really not much for me to add onto what you or @milksteaki said because yall said everything. and it really sucks when you notice how the fanfiction you loved reading as a kid turns out to be pretty sexist. And now that im older, im never gonna stand for that shit anymore and i will rly look down upon that.

and i want to disclaim that yes, the rrb are actually sexist and writers CAN write them as such!! (because that was their whole effing thing as characters) but writers have to realize that its not something to glorify or to brush over. if the boys are sexist, then GIVE THEM CONSEQUENCES FOR BEING SO. the ppg would NEVER stand for that shit and shut it down immediately or in other ways

also LMAO the alvin and the chipmunks metaphor bruhhhh those movies were my childhood and yes, they did try to push britney as like... the best chippette and push the other 2 in the back (that was literally the plot of the 2nd movie). and i can see the resemblance to the ppg with blossom kinda being the main focus in most ppg/rrb fics. i cant believe im discussing alvin and the chipmunks lore but you know what... of course i would

Please give Great Uncle Wayne babysitting duty (workingmanwayne)

@workingmanwayne

It was the first summer he'd seen since rehab. Things were odd, slowly returning to normal, but still strange. He still woke up fuzzy-brained and exhausted, like he hadn't slept through the night and had instead been out drinking whole bottles of vodka again, chased with thousands of dollars worth of cocaine. The doc said that feeling would continue for a while despite his clean system, but he also had some brain thing called ADHD. He asked if it could kill him. When the doc said no, he stopped caring about it. They were supposed to help him with drugs and alcohol, not his wild brain. He didn't need a professional to tell him his brain was wired differently. That'd been well documented for years. All he wanted was to go home. Well, to the new home, Steve had been preparing in his absence with uncle Wayne. A fresh start, they called it.

The fresh start is nice. It's by the perfect California beach with an oak decking that leads down to the sand and far enough outside Los Angeles that they needed a car to drive into the city. There's peace and quiet; it's pretty beautiful, actually. "You don't gotta go back to Indiana, ya know?" Eddie proposed to his uncle one morning when they were sat together on the deck bench, warm summer sunlight streaming over them, and Eddie's three kids over the way playing noisily in a paddling pool he and Wayne spent the previous hour blowing up, then filling it with water. Joany waved at them from the pool's edge, seeking their attention to watch her splash about like she'd done something impressive. According to the little miss herself, she was meant to be a dragon. It made Eddie laugh. Yeah, she was his blood, alright, and he made sure she knew she was the most fearsome dragon of all. "They'd love for you to stay here," he continued, gesturing to the kids while lighting a cigarette. Rehab might have kicked his habit of the hard stuff, but the cigarettes kept him sane and away from temptations.

"Permanently, m'saying. Stay in Cali permanently." Wayne had been invaluable the past few months, from convincing Eddie into rehab in the first place for the sake of his family to helping his son-in-law with their trio of feral goblins. Neither Sam nor Rian were related to Wayne by blood or Eddie. But they'd been Wayne's grandsons and Eddie's kids since the moment they were born. To the boys and Joan, Wayne was gramps and paw paw and hearing it made Eddie smile every single time. Sometimes he slipped and would refer to Wayne as his dad, then get embarrassed about it. Wayne also gained another son when Eddie unofficially married Steve in 1991. The point was that they were all family. Not the ideal family society wanted them to have. No, their family was much better than that.

Eddie leaned back, head turned up to release a puff of smoke into the bright blue sky, basking momentarily in the rays. He never quite appreciated the sun as much as he did now. Funny what an accidental overdose did to a person. "There's plenty of room for you. Honestly, I think Steve bought the place with you in mind." Satan bless his husband and his domestic inclinations. Yet, Eddie could not bring himself to say that maybe he needed Wayne there too. After everything, he still felt like a burden to his uncle, causing him nothing but worry and grief. "Would you at least think about it, please?" Finally, he looked over at the elder Munson with pleading eyes as the very image of the miniature version suddenly skipped over to them, soaking wet from the water. Eddie tossed his cigarette into the fancy-ass marble ashtray Steve had gotten. He never did understand his husband's love of fine decor, but he loved him all the same.

Grabbing a nearby towel, Eddie scooped Joan up into his lap, though not without a noticeable tremble in his arms, the strain hidden well in his adoring smile. "Hey, short stuff. Pretty sure that paw paw over here just announced his intentions to make everyone pancakes." Armed with an excited four-year-old and their matching smiles, how could grandpa say no? Then Joan quickly called to her big brothers that Wayne was making pancakes, and Eddie knew he'd won amidst the childish screams of delight. He shrugged just a bit smugly at Wayne, while silently mouthing...

Sorry, dad.

Hi!!!💕 Just wanted to say I really adore and love your blog. Stumbled across it last night and just in awe🥺💕. I was also wondering if you could please do a match up for me?💕

I’m almost 20, will be in October^^ I absolutely love the fall. All from the changing of the leaves to having fires and being in jeans as well as sweaters. My favorite type of music differs from classic rock to metal and music from the 40’s like Billie holiday. I’m around 5’6 ;-; and chopped my hair off so it sits on my shoulder and dyed it red. I absolutely adore my reptiles. I have 2 beardies, a boop noodle and turtle named tim☺️ I get very shy around people I like. I mainly talk when spoken to, so most of the time I’m quiet. Love to snuggle and thrive off of physical affection and acts of service💕 I do have a philly accent so I tend to say things like “cawfee” instead of  “coffee” and “mondie” instead of “Monday.” I hope this is enough🥺💕💕 And thank you☺️💕💕🖤

I paired you up with...

♡BO SINCLAIR♡

Ç_Ç I know I might come off as repetitive but everyone here has been so kind to me. Really thank you♡ 

Back on track now 

WHEN I TELL YOU I HAVE BEEN STARING AT YOUR REQUEST FOR 20 MINS CAUSE I COULDN'T MADE UP MY MIND. 

like I thought about Michael but then It didn't quite fit well, then I was like "okay maybe rz michael" but nope.

I went through all the fuckin Michael's and every single slasher and the only one that I kept thinking about was Bo. 

You have probably seen the post about Bo singing so that's the main reason I chose him. I can picture both of you dancing slowly in the kitchen while making breakfast, smiling while looking into each other's eyes and him humming along to the song.

i- my heart 

Okay to the next point. I went to do some research about fall in Louisiana, cause I wanted to make sure it's a place where you can still have all the nice fall things. 

And it is!! Has everything you may look for as fall starts^^

I think Bo would decorate the whole town with Halloween/fall themes so he can take you to nice little dates around to show you everything he has done. 

Bo is kind of reluctant with any type of animal. Hell, he didn't even want jonesy at first and now look at him. He might be curious about your pets but won't ask anything cause he doesn't want to sound stupid so if you catch him staring just tell him about them!!

This man is the most charming and flirty person alive so he can easily carry a conversation without letting it not once fall in an awkward silence. He actually likes that you don't talk much because even if he seems really confident in small talks he is absolutely terrified of bringing more intimate topics. If you don't tend to talk much he feels much more comfortable cause he knows he can pick and choose whatever he feels to talk about. 

He is the CEO of acts of service. Bo struggles in showing openly how he feels, or to put it better, he struggles to let it out in a healthy way. So having the opportunity to show he cares by doing things to make you happy is going to be such a relief for him. He wants to feel needed, helpful and like you know you can count on him for anything. As for physical affection, he actually doesn't mind it at all. He's really touchy but at the same time is a sort of way to reassure he has the whole hugging ecc

He's showing you he loves you and he actually wants you near without having to say it. 

I have this feeling he would love and make fun (in a lighthearted way) of your accent. Like he finds it really funny especially when you get mad about something. 

This matchup made think of this song

[what-if-nct]

hiiii today's reminder is all three of the nct units coming back within the next two months, and the new unit might be debuting soon, and I'm having a hard time being excited for any of it

127, i just want them to take a nap. esp with the J line being injured enough to cancel smtown recordings, i would feel super weird enjoying a new song knowing that it was prepared in between nonstop concerts while three members were hurt. plus i REALLY don't want a 2 baddies part 2, i still don't understand why that song happened

wayv, they seem straight-up cursed at this point. I'm not gonna believe there's an album until the album is actually out. plus part of me is braced for the possibility of a rehashing of the incident from last year that we don't speak about, or at the very least knowing a lot of the discussion about this comeback will be centred around that, which I'm really not looking forward to

dream… i feel like every time i hear about them outside of teasers, it's just another case of them "playfully" making fun of Haechan, especially Jeno and Jisung, to the point where i just… dislike them, as people. i get that they were raised with the expectation that they'll be famous in a society that places a lot of weight on this shit, and I'm sure that's fucked with their heads a lot, but that's no excuse for grown ass adults not to have basic decency yk? it's turning me off the group, even though i love the rest of them. well, most of them, Jaemin and Chenle also give me those vibes, though i don't remember if they've ever explicitly said anything like that on camera

so… idk it's weird. I've spent more than two years with nct being my main hobby (idk if that word applies but it's the only one i could think of), and now it all feels a bit icky. I'm just holding on because i think new wayv content will bring me back to them

Hiii! And first of all I feel exactly the same way about everything that you've said. Every single word of it. Like 127 has been touring nonstop and are about to go out again plus a repackaged album after three members being injured. Like it's the kpop industry Skz is also extremely overworked. But like imagine the overall well being of them if they just released one album a year with multiple music videos, promote for like a month and one full and complete tour then, then they rest for at least 5 to 6 months. Or do their own obligations to brands and stuff. I know it's nothing like western pop music cause they run off of high engagement but it's just such a ridiculous system that is doing nothing but harm. They need rest. Sleep, and FOOD!! They're overworking on extreme diets. Like something has to give before it breaks

Then we have the complete opposite with Wayv where it's been two years since an album and despite there being a rightful reason for the delay right now. it's just so unfortunate that they're not getting to do anything. And I think we all know why wayv's comeback has been put on the back burner till now. I'm happy they had a break and they've been just having fun. But you see it in them they want to work, they're so excited for this album. Which I'm buying the moment it's released. But I just want everyone to focus on the boys for their comeback and not the situation around them. I'm sure it's been harder on every single member of Wayv then it is for us and we just gotta keep it a joyous occasion when it finally happens.

And yeahhh, like before I get to how I feel I just want to say before anyone says its part of their culture. Being Fatphobic and Colorist are bad things!!! It's a toxic part of most cultures! Colorism runs rampant in every single non white culture. And it's fucking bad! As a black person I can acknowledge the colorism in my culture is bullshit. And I have never thought that shit was funny. Im always disgusted seeing how dark skin women are treated. And don't get me started on fatphobia. I just want to know why we don't expect grown ass men who have access to the internet and global knowledge to go against societal norms like most of the Younger generations all over. Like why can't we expect better from them. Like Jeno saying why does Haechan have so much flesh after Haechan complimented his muscles like thats a strike. But when he said Haechan fits black panther..........my eye is twitching. And Jisung also always saying something. Sure we don't know they're dynamic. But Jisung was saying do you think Haechan will ever get paler alone out with Chenle. Like that's just not a joke like that shit effects Haechan who is gorgeous and perfect and beautiful. And I remember Haechan wanting a regular coke and Renjun insisting he get diet coke that rubbed me the wrong way for awhile. If my friends joked with me like that uh we're not friends anymore. Like it's toxic behavior like. It's bad no excuses. It's just bad. It's not okay to joke about esp in public spaces do they not understand their words effect Haechan and fans bigger and darker than Haechan. I think I have the most hope in Jaemin cause I just get that from him. Luckily I am a grown ass woman and it doesn't effect me the way it did when I was 16 and 17. It's why I took a break around 19, like kpop really fucked up my self esteem that I had just acquired. I totally feel you. Sidenote the skz thing with Changbin isn't apart of this. Felix and Chan were obviously talking about Changbin's muscles, he's a little beef cake they've both expressed envy of his physique. So Chan and Felix are cool.

I really don't want a 2 baddies part 2 either. Love 127 but thats one 127 song I can't defend. But when Wayv blesses us with their talent and beauty it'll be the best day.

[28whitepeonies]

It's both funny and sad to see larries get so angry for the truth in this article. it's not surprising that people that make fun of Olivia for dancing, her clothes, her face, her age, her career, her words etc are having the hardest time with this interview. I'm shocked that they are shocked. I could have told you jan 4th 2021 ( and I have been telling people since then) that no version of Harry would be happy with the way Olivia is treated. We have known Harry for 12 years and no matter if you think he is gay/straight, bi etc no version of Harry would appreciate what larries ( and het harries) are doing to her. Even if Harry is with Louis or with Olivia, what Olivia is having to deal with is insane. The problem is that a lot of larries think that Harry ( and Louis) hate Olivia ( and Eleanor) they way that they do. So they think all of those comments are OK because in their mind the boys would like it. And when they say "hey guys, that's NOT ok because that's just plain old hater activity" they struggle because it's not what they told themselves was OK. Every time she is with Harry the same fans make fun of her being a bad mother even though she has a 50/50 custody. Even though they know that that week she doesn't have the kids larries still make comments about how she left her kids. How many of those fans make fun of Louis, Liam and Zayn's fatherhood and them being bad fathers every single time we see them without the kids? 0. So trying to act like a victim and being like " but we are just holding her accountable. We are obviously not just haters at this point" is hilarious sad to watch. All of those things that people are doing to Olivia have ZERO (0) with holding her accountable. But also how long are you going to hold her accountable? Why are we not holding the boys accountable? Why can we look at their concerts and not bring up every little mistake they have done but when Olivia as much as breathes.....here comes people on social media reminding us to hold her accountable (while of course making fun of her age, body, clothes etc). Let's be fair and remind everyone every time Louis is on stage that he said the n* word. Let's mind everyone that Harry wore a native American headdress every night as well. If we are going to hold people accountable let's do it then.

Hi anon

This is a lot of words, even for me, so I am just going to share three thoughts in response.

a) I actually have a huge issue with this idea that fans can ever hold Harry, or any celebrity, accountable. Firstly because I am unclear that fans have any suggestion of how they will do this beyond simply reiterating the thing that they did that was harmful. Secondly because I think to be able to have an impact on someone in terms of accountability, you need to have a relationship with them through which they are invested in your views and interested in learning about why the thing they did was harmful. As fans we have neither that relationship, nor if I am quite honest do I think we have evidence of a level of interest from Harry in learning about and working to reduce the harm caused by wearing that Native American headdress or the other things I can think of that he has done/does still. For those reasons, my issue isn't about fans holding people accountable - it's about them consistently calling out Olivia and ignoring the serious harm Harry (and the others) have perpetuated.

Basically, I wonder what it is that fans hope to achieve when they say they want to hold anyone accountable? I saw a tweet suggesting Olivia should post an insta story apologising - but if that’s all it is, who will that benefit?

b) I don't think that Harry being all 'TPWK' is the reason fans should know better than to direct mysoginistic hate at women like Olivia Wilde. I think fans should know better from a point of not perpetuating double standards and directing more hatred towards women for existing. I've said before that the impact of this on Olivia is not my real concern, my real concern are the other women seeing it every day and internalising that hatred further. And if there is one thing I really, truly despise it is judging the parenting of a woman on the internet, parenting is tough enough on women, in the public eye and in life generally, without you adding to that burden. As always, I agree about the double standards.

c) A combination of both the above. If you are calling out Olivia for being a fake feminist and you are perpetuating misogyny I am sorry to say you are not doing any of this out of concern for feminist values or to make a better world for women. And this is a great opportunity to not react defensively but perhaps take a look at yourself and your actions/words and whether you could be less awful.

#anon #its another one #long post #I could go on forever #I am trying not to #there are obviously things harry has said about equality but they’re so surface level that I don’t think we could consider them #meaningful enough to think he’s doing anything actively #to either learn or to do anything with that learning #that article said during lockdown he read Bell Hooks and Ibram X Kendi #and reading is wonderful but what’s he doing with that now #I think probably not anything and I’m not suggesting he should but simply saying that this idea of accountability from fans is weird

omg that sounds so stressful. I’m pretty sure they’re not quite that delicate, if it helps. so gently waving them away or setting them somewhere else should be fine. (I did a quick search and it looks like researchers actually scrape the scales off on purpose in the tagging process, so I guess they can still live and fly without some of their scales!)

@ceylonsilvergirl said: one time my family went into The City (I was a young teen at the time) it was summer but all of us forgot that SF evenings, even in the middle of summer, are cold as hell. so my parents quickly bought us souvenir sweaters to keep us from dying, and mine was an oversized yellow sweater with SF emblazoned across the front in yellow thread. I wore that damn thing every single day, just on top of whatever it was that I was wearing. I hadn’t thought about that in years. funny how memories live in your brain whether you realize it or not

oh wild I wonder how common it is to get so attached to a desperation sweatshirt cuz I had one too! I was at some Nerd Competition (destination imagination, to be specific. do they still do that one?) on the other side of the state towards the end of middle school and it was absolutely dumping rain, but my whole team was just left to run loose until it was time for our presentation so of course we were outside climbing retaining walls the whole time. and I’m this tiny waif child and I’m soaked to the bone and it was just a day trip so I didn’t bring any extra clothes, but it was late into the day so when my mom went to buy me a Branded Sweatshirt to change into they only had plus size ones left, it was like a 2x or something. and then I wore it nearly every day for years, to the point where it got so ratty and full of holes they bought me a replacement in the same color and size (with an osu logo instead).

5-Figure Email Promos From Tiny Lists Information How to turn a tiny list into a 5-figure email promo (case study) Back in May of 2020, my buddy Stefan Georgi put out his long awaited copywriting course called RMBC. At the time, I had hardly promoted anything to my email list… But I knew I wanted to promote Stefan’s offer. Why? Cause at the time, Stefan’s copy game was on fire… And he was pumping out winning offer after winning offer in the supplement space. People were talking about him… And everyone wanted to know how he was doing it. So when he finally decided to release his RMBC system detailing his copy process, I jumped at the opportunity to promote it to my list. But here’s the thing… At that time, my list only had 3200 people on it… And I really didn’t know a lot about the ins-and-outs of running a successful email promo. So I just went with my gut… I wrote an email each day… Most of these emails were big “proof bombs”. So I talked about how Stefan was the #1 copywriter in the world… How he had 6 different offers scaling on cold traffic… And how he was able to write 8-10 sales letters in a single month (which is still crazy to me). Every email I wrote was simply proof that Stefan was the real deal… And that his RMBC system worked… And guess what? That launch absolutely crushed. I think I wound up making 68 sales of his course. Which paid me $34,000. So that single promo earned me over $10 per subscriber. Which is massive. I’d gladly take $10 per subscriber today on any promo I do. But here’s what’s funny to me about that whole promo… Even though I made a bunch of mistakes on the promo… The promo still did really well. Why? Because I unknowingly nailed all 3 parts of the “Email Promo Tripod”. Seriously… That’s why I was able to pull in $34,000… And make over $10 per subscriber… I got the parts right that really matter… That’s the cool thing about this… You can get a lot of stuff wrong… But if you simply nail the three parts of the “email promo tripod” you’ll have a 5-figure promo. Anyways… If learning how to do that interests you… Ian Stanley and I are gonna do a live training this Thursday showing our secret sauce for running 5-figure email promos to tiny lists… What You’ll Learn In This Course? The simple “email promo tripod” that allows you to double or triple your sales on any promo What price points are working best for email promos in 2023 (the unstable economy is definitely having an affect on this, so we’ll show you what prices you should use) How to increase the money you make on affiliate promos by 70% or more with a simple 5 word question The 60 second test that tells you whether the offer you’re promoting will be a winner or not BEFORE you even promote it The best day of the week to start your email promos (and the one day you should always avoid for starting a promo on) The 3 types of emails that are bringing in the most sales right now in 2023 (you can use all three of these in any niche) We’ll also give ya swipe files of winning email promos that you can study, swipe and use for your own email promos Plus much, much more… More courses from the same author: Justin Goff

Why are people single?

That is the million dollar question that is on everyone's mind. 

It’s hard not to notice that people are not getting married, there are more situationships than there are relationships, the divorce rate is at an all-time high, we hear cheating rumors every other day, and sugar daddy dating is not helping the cause in any way. 

Where is the love? Are people convinced that love is dead? And when did people stop believing in love? How did we become so disconnected? It’s really sad. 

I am bringing this up because THIS is a huge problem for humanity - it’s MAJOR.

If we keep going down this route of people using each other, manipulation, lies, deceit, and dishonor, then what are we teaching our generations to come? If we don’t face this problem NOW and do something about it, the toxic cycle will continue and we will keep suffering by making the same relationship mistakes over and over again. Not only that, our children will face broken homes and develop their own sets of issues so the cycle will keep repeating itself.

Now how is that fair for anyone? It’s not.

And, how are people single?

There are a few reasons that come to mind…

Social pressure to start a family which then created a broken home.

Choosing the “wrong” person over and over again. 

Settling because everything looks good on paper but not in reality. 

Commitment issues also known as the “grass is greener” mentality. 

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. It’s time to stop blaming “them” and start realizing it’s YOU!

You are the cause and the effect in your life - no one else, but you.

Now ask yourself, what type of a person do you keep attracting?

I’ll tell you, you are attracting yourself. You attract who YOU are, meaning the traits that you have within yourself. I know that might sound a bit confusing so I will share an example with you so it paints a picture. 

BUT, first and foremost, I want to remind you that when you meet someone, you have a distorted vision of who they are. You don’t know them yet. All you know is what they look like, what they say, how they act, and then you create an idea of who you THINK they are. That’s why they say, never rush into anything quickly. A snake sheds its skin once a month. The longer you stay with someone, the more layers they will show you as time goes on and then you will find out who they truly are. Patience is the key here, something I did not have with my examples. 

#1 - The New York Vegan

I dated a guy who was controlling, possessed anger issues, had low self-esteem, and many emotional insecurities.

Guess what, looking back at it, so did I. Case and point. I attracted him to me because he was me. I was him. 

Now let me get deeper and really blow your mind with this…

You dislike things about others because you dislike those things about yourself. 

That statement shook me to the core and I am going to share an example of what that looks like.

#2 - The Chicago Bean 

I dated a guy and after two months I couldn't stand that he was goofy, did these stupid facial expressions, was unmotivated, and ate subpar food with no drive to have luxury in his life.

Guess what, I didn’t like that I was goofy. I didn’t like my own facial expressions. I didn’t like that I had become lazy. I didn’t like that I wasn’t successful enough to support the luxury lifestyle that I wanted which included fine dining and yachts. 

You see…

The world is a mirror image of you. 

You attract what you put out. 

You get what you think you deserve. 

So, if you want someone like this, then you need to become this:

Confident

Healthy

Fit

Successful

Loyal

Loving

Trustworthy

Funny

Calm and collected

Understanding 

Generous 

Thoughtful

Kind

Educated

Ambitious 

Intimate 

Powerful

I hope at this point your wheels are turning. 

So, why do people stay single?

Let's acknowledge that the REAL problem is that people are disconnected with who they are, chasing what they want, when what they want is actually what they need to fix within themselves. 

Point blank, people are not SELF-AWARE.

And the reason people are not “self-aware” is because most tend to zone out quickly when they don't understand what that actually means. Unfortunately, confusion leads to inaction. 

Well, I'm here to simplify things for you so you can be the change in this toxic cycle and spread the word so we can all become connected again as connection leads to love.

I am going to be completely transparent. The intention of this article is for you to know that humanity is in crisis and we need to come together to shift how we think so we can create lasting change for a positive future for all.

Let's start with the word that so many hear and so many don’t get or don’t want to put in the effort to research. 

Self-aware / Self-awareness - Sounds like hard work? Yes, yes it is. Self-awareness does not come easily or naturally. In fact, it is the highest crowning achievement. It is a superpower. It is a life skill that few possess. 

Now let’s break that down into two parts:

SELF is you.

AWARE is your character traits, feelings, motives, thoughts, desires. 

Let’s get into that even further…

What does it mean to be self-aware? 

It’s being true to who you are and living your authentic, genuine, original self. 

If you don’t know what that looks like in your life, then you need to do a personal audit of yourself to define who you are. 

Get uncomfortable, leave your ego at the door, and answer this.

What are your positive and negative traits? 

What things do you stand for?

What are your strongest beliefs?

How do you want to live your life?

How do you want to define yourself?

What words do you want to live by?

What are your boundaries?

Take a moment and assess yourself. Get self-aware with who you are so don’t keep repeating the cycle and never truly getting everything that you want. 

Time is precious and irreplaceable - remember this. So don’t seek validation from anyone but yourself. You do not need to fight for people to stay in your life. If they don't see your value, then you should deny their access to you and your time. 

You are enough and you need to be so confident in yourself and who you are.You shouldnt have to defend yourself, ever, to anyone. 

When people finally have that breaking point, and I hope they will, then they can FINALLY make the decision to fully commit to transforming themselves by getting self-aware. Until that happens they will never truly get that love that they have always wanted and deserve. 

That’s why people are single.

[away-ward]

HEY EVERYONE LISTEN UP AND LISTEN UP CLEAR.

The reason we all hate the devil's night fandom is because of its bitch fangirl, who just cant see others point in what they are saying.

And all of you coming here moaning and bitching are doing the exact same thing.

YOU WANT TO FIGHT? GO TO TWITTER OR TIKTOK. Leave tumblr as it was.

This blog is not yours stop using the anonymous thing to dump all your hatred or stuff.

Let me be honest most of the stuff i read that you said was BATSHIT CRAZY!!!!

You want to give opinions do that on your own blog and use tags we will answer there WITHOUT A FIGHT.

The only thing you didn't do is give death threats and them bam you are twitter.

Also it's KO's blog alright, just for once think what they must see the minute they open tumblr. They may or maynot get a burnout from answering all these anons.

Tumblr was honestly such a calm place to take but oh lord do you think KO is PD? That you are coming at each other's throat here.

I’m posting this because I haven’t started deleting asks yet.

In all honesty, I appreciate the defense, but I would prefer less hostile wording. I’m not one for arguing or forcing my will on others.

But there are points in here that I do agree with.

Please Read

We can disagree on interpretations of scenes and characters. We can see things differently, and we should be able to. As long as we can happily exchange thoughts and viewpoints, that’s what makes a fandom experience enjoyable for me. When people insist on their own way of things is when the joy starts to evaporate. Personally, the moment I see that an agreement can’t take place, I’ll drop a topic and refuse to bring it up with that person again.

This becomes harder when everyone is on anon, and as the asks backlog continues to grow. I can’t expect every new visitor and follower to read all 160+ asks to see if their topic has already been covered. And since everyone is on anon, I have no way of knowing if I’m going around in circles with the same person.

On occasion, I get asks that I know could possibly cause offense, but I never posted anything that I thought was meant to offend. I’m not anyone’s parent or guardian; it’s not my job to protect you from being offended. We control our own reactions to things. If you can’t stop yourself from wanting to argue with someone, please do it on your own platform. Mine is not the place.

I’ll take a break if I need one, but so far whenever it’s gotten a bit stressful, I usually get a sweet ask for something simple and fun that makes me happy to respond. But it can be hard, too. Not only do I have people starting to argue through me, but get asks like this which make me pause and consider if and how to post it, since I know some people won’t appreciate the tone it’s coming in.

I also have received some criticism from a few sources regarding how I’m handling the situation, as well as my responses in general.

To be clear, (and I’m not sure if I need to start adding a disclaimer to all my posts, because I thought this was a given), but I am no way an authority on Devil’s Night, nor do I think I am one. I’m working with the same information and source material you have.

Most everything I say is based on my interpretation of scenes and characters. The only time I think I’m “correct” is when the source material directly supports what I’m issuing as fact. As an example, a few asks ago, someone said they couldn’t believe Emory would have an insta or social media in general. But I brought out in NF she does have an insta, so that’s canon. I only remembered this because I too was surprised that she would have one.

I wanted to know what teenage Emmy was doing with her insta. I assumed it was probably private. Did she take pictures to document how her projects were progressing? Pictures of her grandma? Who did she follow?

How often did she look up Will? Did she have a finsta to follow Will??? That would be funny, but I doubt she’d go through the effort.

That single line lead to so many questions and now the knowledge that she had an Instagram is stuck.

I’m not correcting people just to be right, and if I’m wrong, I’ll happily accept that. But otherwise, it’s all interpretation and each of us can have whatever feelings we want about that.

As far as what I post, I would hope that the people following me would believe that I am not intending to offend anyone or force my view as the only right view. I try to hear everyone out, and comment when I have thoughts, whether I agree or not. Some people think I’ve been too kind and agreeable – agreeing just to keep the peace even when I know it’s wrong – and I understand how it could seem that way. Truthfully, my intent was just to allow other people to have their interpretations, thoughts, and feelings about a scene without trying to make them feel like they're “wrong” or “bad” if it didn’t align with mine.

I’m not sure where the line is, since I’m not about to start fighting with people for saying something I don’t agree with, or for saying it in a way I wouldn’t.

But maybe I can find a balance that will make me seem less inauthentic and less like I think I’m an authority in the fandom space. If that’s how some of you have felt without saying it, then I’m sorry. That was never what I meant to do.

So, since this has gotten a rise out of some and these issues have been brought to my attention, that is the reason I’ve decided to turn off anon or a while. Like I said, it’ll be temporary, and hopefully the situation will cool down. This isn’t to make anyone feel bad for what they’ve done or said. I’m still learning how to properly manage something like this; it’s a highly unusual situation for me, and I hope everyone can appreciate that.

Until the next time we speak, hope you have a wonderful time. I hope you read something you really enjoy. That you see something beautiful, and that if you cry, it’s happy tears only. If you have a pet, give them some love from me. No seriously. That last one is important to me.

-KO

[relativelydefected]

I havnt posted in awhile. I just keep finding myself in deeper darker holes every time I turn around. Just one right after the other. It gets tough to think about let alone write about.

My mom is in the hospital again. She passed out 3 times this week again. My dad told me his struggles with bringing her up the stairs. Picking her up off the floor of their bedroom cause she couldn’t get on the bed. Went to visit her she got up to get me something and fell again.. she had two cat scans done. She has to wear a heart monitor to monitor her for an irregular heart beat. They found she had a small brain aneurism in her head.. as well as a spot in another part of her head as well. Which may be the reasons she keeps passing out. The past two days she’s had nausea. Which might explain the things going on in her head.

I quit therapy. For the simple fact that if something is to happen to my mom. I’m gonna be a wreck regardless. So no amount of therapy is going to help me with that. And I’m not using that as a scapegoat or an excuse. It’s the fucking truth. I don’t care who tells me otherwise.

No amount of breathing exercises or coping mechanism is going to help me with this portion of my life.

The kids are doing well. My daughter is clueless as to what is going on and my son is slowly starting to take into an account the seriousness of the situation. He cried about it last week and all I could tell him is that she’s fighting this she’s strong and that we’re gonna get through this together.

Things I should probably say to myself but knowing the reality of the situation. It’s tough to think that way while at the same time trying to prepare for something that might be inevitable.

I havnt been to the bike path for the past few days due to having a cold and this bipolar New England weather.

I even bought a longboard. Just to try something new.

Havnt been able to fully try it out cause it’s either raining or I’m sick or my kids are sick and I have to be home.

Havnt been able to see my mom the past week cause I’m fighting off this cold that doesn’t want to go away.

On a more semi positive note.

I met this guy on tiktok we talked for two days before we decided to hang out. What’s funny is he lives right down the street from me..He’s a single dad I’m a single mom.. he has a good job his own place.. he’s younger than me and that’s a first for me but I thought why not give it a shot. Really cute.

Has a stutter but that is also really cute .. we are both gamers we both like studio ghibli and Star Wars. We went to the mall he was so nice and easy to talk to he gave he gave me a hug it was just really lovely. It felt good to be treated like a lady after 11 years of being treated like garbage..I definitely felt a connection. Then of course my own insecurities took hold and I think I messed up the entire thing. He seems like such a good dad and he has all these nice qualities but some how some way I always manage to mess up a good thing. That’s my life. It’s like I psych myself out every time. I can’t just let things flow or be. Maybe he’s not attracted to me? I don’t know..

He has a twitch I watch it, try to message but don’t hear back so not much I can do 🤷🏽‍♀️ think im just gonna stop messaging at this point.

It felt good to go out shop and have fun and not think about the crap going on in my life so for like 5 hours I was at peace for the first time in months.

Good things never last. They are rare but fleeting.

You’d think I’d be used to it by now but im not.

But I tried right? Even if it didn’t work out.. I can say I tried to meet someone and put myself out there.

But I also feel guilt about being happy. When everyone around me is falling apart.

Maybe when I go back to work it will be a distraction from all this. But I can’t go back till I figure out my daughters situation with school or whether i need to put her in daycare full time.

Cause I can’t do both and I have no one to help me in this situation unfortunately.

I’ll try to update more. If you guys have prayers I could always use them.

I've posted a bit on her about how I've been watching Shameless, and I'm closer to the end of the show at this point, and one thing I find interesting is how as the show goes along the child characters have bigger and bigger roles in the show.

I know that it is because of child labor laws and stuff; although as a side note, it is interesting to see how similar stuff crops up throughout the show. Like how most of the background actors don't speak (you have to pay actors more if they have speaking lines). So this kind of comes across as most of the background people in this show just being mute apparently.

There are quite a lot of scenes throughout the show with crowds or a lot of background people, and it gets really noticeable in scenes where main characters (usually Frank) interact with said characters. Usually, characters will just have a weird one-sided conversation where the other person just gestures or makes overdramatic facial expressions as a response. Sometimes it is played for laughs, or the silent character will be a child, or someone rude.

It is really noticeable when you see it during "Frank" scenes, where he is doing something obnoxious to or in front of a group of people and only one extra will say anything or a main character shows up. I think the most noticeable/funny variations are when he goes up to a bunch of individual people in a bar or crowd and rants at them.

There is the classic response of [buff guy at a bar simply stands up and grunts to intimidate protagonist] but it gets really weird when Frank starts ranting about something really offensive or weird and gets up in their face. Like they barely ever have a response. For the record, I find it extremely entertaining. I fucking love that shit cause it's funny and fuck it I'm going to say its nonverbal (as in getting stressed out and not responding to a situation cause that is too much effort) or mute representation.

Also, if you didn't already notice that, you are about to start notice it whenever you watch television now. The lower budget the television show is, and the less main characters there are, the more you will notice it. It's not super common in Shameless anyways, I just wanted to bring it up cause I find it funny. I learned about this in a YouTube video essay about the sitcom Lab Rats because I am the kind of person who watches 3 hour long video essays about shows they watched as a child to think about them from a new perspective for the fun of it. What can I say? I enjoy them.

Ok anyways this post was about child labor laws. So the main cast of Shameless is very large and in the earlier seasons, some of this cast is made up of children (younger siblings of the protagonist) but as the show goes along, the focus shifts to the younger siblings and they slowly get more and more screentime. Both because the story slowly changes in structure over time, and also because the some of the younger siblings, the youngest of which was a child in diapers, could only appear in entire episodes for a single scene or even just a few scenes or shots.

Then as the show went along they would have more of a role. Anyway, the point is that they would not have been able to predict which of any of the kids would end up actually being good at acting as the show went along. Carl, a young boy at the start, is one of the weaker actors in my opinion. He's not awful, but he's really kind of monotone most of the time and usually just looks like he's confused. It's really noticeable considering how most of the cast is very overdramatic and he looks like he doesn't know what is going on (although to be fair, he is implied to be autistic, and I also don't know how to react to things most of the time as well, so same) so it mostly works for him.

But the character Liam, the youngest brother is the worst actor on the whole show. He has the exact same line delivery in every single scene and it gets really distracting. He wasn’t acting when the show started, and it resulted in that and by season 10 his scenes are grating. It doesn’t matter what scene he is in, he has the same neutral emotion and flat line delivery.

I’m not upset about this or like mad at the actor, but I just find it funny. Honestly, any show that manages to have that one baby be a good child actor in the later seasons is fucking lucky as hell. It’s interesting how this is a specific career (acting) where you can be randomly selected as being publicly platformed if you happen to both be a cute baby and a good actor. Or as a really shit actor if it turns out that you’re bad at acting. Which is one of many reasons why platforming children as tv stars can be really bad. but that’s a whole other discussion.
