I’m the anon that is here partially for Nationstates, I’m a polysci nerd (considering international relations as a future path in the field) as well as a sci fi nerd and a friend tried to explain it to me at a con, it sounded really interesting. I haven’t figured out how to start yet though. It’s a really friendly reminder of the game when you post it though and I really enjoy hearing about it!
it would be really funny if you figured out how to start by joining my region and then you would be the one person there that's like. Yeah hi I was recruited by watching iota make 100000 autistic posts on tumblr a day

Character/s: Roman
Word Count: 1,404
Inspired By: Running Away by Genevieve Stokes
A/N: He is so baby boy!!!!! I love him!!!! Anyways, I'm really happy with this fic. I've been itching to write for him and I am so glad with how this turned out. It takes place at Shiv and Tom's wedding btw! 💞 Feedback is always appreciated 💜💖💜
Gossamer Pt. 2 / Gossamer Pt. 3
Tumblr media
He isn’t sure where to put his hands. They’re jittery, unsure, grazing the fabric of your best clothes, your back, your waist, hips, until you settle them at your sides. No words are passed between you. This, like everything, goes unspoken between you. Light, warm, his thumb rubbing back and forth. Be still, you want to urge him, no one is going to hurt you. But you don’t say a thing. Instead your head rests on his shoulder, taking in him. His scent (rich, sharp, something he must have stolen from his brother - unlike his warm, comforting self), the beat of his heart (frantic, like the wings of a hummingbird), his breathing (shallow, trying not to take up space). You sway as one, the dance floor almost empty. Everyone has gone or is going, grabbing their purses, their dates, one last drink. The groom and bride, along with the rest of the party, have retreated to their rooms, a loved one on their arm, buzzing with bourbon and business as usual. Forbidding that kind of talk, even for one night, would be sacrilegious.  Scandalous, as is this dance. Instead, you ask that he give it a rest for just one song. No trades, no deals, no patricide, nothing, just you and him. His features melted at your request, words leaving him in that moment, nothing but a small nod and a hand held out to guide you in response. Slowly you rocked, side to side, your hands clasped around his back. Beneath the suit, the wealth, the spokes of his spine welcome you with open arms. You want to see his face, read what he’s thinking about, but you don’t move a muscle. Too rarely do you get to do this: slow down. Be with him. Get him all to yourself. 
You know, if your father, one of his many wives, saw you, they’d go straight to Logan. Or worse, weaponize it at a later date. Blackmail you, or him, both. As if he can hear your thoughts, his grip gets harder. Needier. Not a lot, not a lot, but enough to notice, as if he’s scared you’ll flee. As if you’ll take off any second and leave him standing there all alone, his arms still outstretched around a ghost. You squeeze him, just a bit, before easing up. I’m not going anywhere. You made sure they had gone long before, escorting your father yourself, unsteady on his own feet. An army of empty glasses sat in front of him. Get him to bed, Wife #4 whispered, as if this was the first time you’d done this. Leading him out, not before thanking the bride and her father for inviting you. What was the saying? Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. Logan acknowledged the situation very little, but kept an eye on you all the way to the door. Ammunition. Your siblings off on their own, in their own collective worlds, leaving you to clean up the mess. The drink in his hand smashing against the wall, a fit of rage passing in seconds, mumbling a slur of words before closing his eyes, laying his head back against the pillow. In the midst of this, a part of you was glad you warned him not to follow. Too many eyes, too many to take notice. Besides, it was humiliating, picking up shards of glass from the carpet. His wife pulled off his shoes, not daring to look at you. It wasn’t until you’d found your way back did you notice a line of red pooling in your palm. Blood. You must’ve cut yourself on the glass. Fuck. He wasn’t supposed to be watching, waiting, but those puppy-dog eyes widened and you knew it was too late. Quietly, you walked to the bathroom, he just a few paces behind. It doesn’t hurt, the first thing you say, and then, it’s not even that bad. Reassure him. He works nervously, delicately, holding your hand under running water. 
It aches now though, only slightly, the more you flex it against his back. Anyone could have seen him, anyone could have mentioned it to your fathers or siblings. Anyone could have done anything, but that wouldn’t have stopped him. The sight of blood made him queasy, you knew that, and yet as the red blotted the white towel, running pink under the water, he was nothing but steady. Dads, am I right? You could hear him saying it now, that little chuckle of his added at the end, masking the shake of fear in his voice. You just shook your head, feeling stupid, silly. Childish. Had he aimed the drink at you? Missing only because he was seeing double. Had that anger been reserved for anyone or was it a general meanness? You shrug at the thought now, only hours old. It’s not worth it to fret. You rub your cheek against his shoulder, letting your head fall to the side. Back and forth, the world slows only for you. The chairs, the tables, the waiters cleaning up spilled drinks and dirty dishes. You shouldn’t be out in the open like this. Not where there are still wandering eyes. And yet, you don’t care enough to stop. Let them say whatever they want, this dangerous thought sits heavy in your mind. It won’t make him like you. It won’t make Logan like him. It won’t change anything, not really. They have their favorites, their toy soldiers. You’re extra. Spare parts. A scapegoat. Neither would let either of you take over, be daddy's favorite, so why put up with it? You know why, you think. For those few passing seconds of love and admiration that feel so violent it leaves a proverbial bruise. Oh, yeah. 
Gerri found you. His hand rests on your cheek, wiping a tear away. A stupid, fragile tear. You would have wiped it away, but you hadn’t noticed it had fallen. You could feel the warmth of his skin, cool of the bathroom air when it left. She managed something you couldn’t hear. He froze, not wanting to leave you, not wanting to disobey his father. Go on, you insisted, I’m okay. I’m just being sensitive, you wanted to add, though it wasn’t in your voice, but someone far angrier. Too sensitive. How many times had you heard that growing up? How many times had that been thrown in your face? He wouldn’t have agreed. He would have fought you on the matter, the only time he would have raised his voice at you. Gerri stayed back a second, looking you up and down. You came from a long line of cheaters, liars, drunks - worse. The only thing you had was your bloodline, your family name. That kind of thing bought you respect. Everyone expected someone different when they looked at you, as if they knew you weren’t one of them. A fluke, maybe. A disappointment. You could see her thinking it before she left, the door slamming behind her. 
His breathing has slowed, at least a little his thumb has stopped. He’s leaned into you more, letting himself relax. How badly you wanted to bottle this moment up, collect it, put it on a shelf to collect dust. Years down the line you’d reach for it again, reliving it as if it never stopped. As if the song never stopped. But of course, it did. And he was the first to pull away. Not unkindly. Softly, his grasp lowered until his arms were at his side. Then a small step back, until you were face to face with him. Those bright, sad brown eyes watching you, waiting for a reaction. You were the only two left. You gave him a small smile, a thank you, before quickly wishing him a goodbye. It was awkward, you were awkward. Too attached. Whatever you had, or thought you had, couldn’t happen. You could try to pretend it wasn’t important, that your fathers acceptance wouldn’t matter, but it did. You sensed that Roman felt the same way. So, you left. One quick glance back and there he stood, stooped shoulders, the last one left. How he wished you knew how badly he wanted to chase after you, make you stay with him forever, regardless of what anyone thought. Vow never to leave him again. But this was life, and no one ever said it was fair.

My Idol 3: Part Five
Tumblr media
My Idol From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My Idol is a South Korean competitive reality dating game show. It currently airs on Saturday nights on Jae-bummer’s blog. First broadcast in 2016, the show offers the opportunity for a lucky fan to go on seven blind dates with seven idols. The idol plans the date with the show throwing in a specific mission to complete during the day. At the end of the initial dates, the show opens up an audience vote to decide what four idols will move on to the second date.
My Idol 3: The Series
**TW: Mention of break-in/pet death (it was a fish.)**
.
"And do you know anyone who might want to act maliciously against you?" the police officer asked, his gaze solely focused on you.
"I-I don't," you stuttered, completely overwhelmed. How did they expect you to answer all of their questions when your world was crashing down around you?
"Can we have a minute?" Hongseok asked, tucking you further into his side.
"We need to-" the officer began but immediately halted their words as Hongseok leveled them with a glare.
"I'm asking for a minute," he insisted. "Not the whole night. Let them calm down."
The officer sighed before flipping his notebook closed and motioning for the two of you to stand off to the side. You finally looked up from your shoes and to your apartment door that was now marked as a crime scene.
"Hongseok-" you croaked, shaking your head.
"Shhh," he hummed. You were positive that if he could pull you any closer he would. "I know. Let's have a sit."
Bringing you toward the staircase, he held the bulk of your weight as your slumped toward the carpet. Taking a deep breath as soon as you were seated, you allowed Hongseok to position you to lean against him. For a moment, you were frozen with dismay. Were you being dramatic? Was your reaction too over the top? You knew they were just things...but they were your things.
After Hongseok informed the production crew as to what was going on, you had gone numb. You wanted so badly to get into your apartment, but he was right. The best thing to do was to wait until the police arrived. Once they did, the area was secured and you were allowed to do a quick walk-through of the place you called your home.
It didn't feel like home anymore. What was left could only be described as a shell of what you once knew. Everything had been either destroyed or stolen. Every nook and corner were somehow haunted, the memories of your happiest moments cycling against one another in an attempt to cover up the reality of what was happening.
Whoever had broken in had stolen the most important things, your comfort and security. Aside from that, your furniture was trashed, stabbed, and sprayed down with paint. Vulgar messages were scrawled across the walls in English AND Korean. Your laptop was missing, as was your tablet and several other electronics. The staff had instantly begun tasking you in trying to recall anything that was taken and could be used as blackmail. Luckily, you didn't think you had any. Living in a day and age where things were so easy to be hacked, you tended to avoid keeping anything scandalous lying around. Plus, they employed excellent social media trainers when this whole thing started and you had done a grand deletion of anything questionable then.
The heaviest blow though, had to have been Jinki.
You knew he was just a goldfish, but he didn't deserve to be strung up in your living room as if his life never mattered.
And yes, you had named your goldfish after a member of Shinee, what of it?
"Drink," Hongseok said quietly, handing you a bottle of water that had seemingly materialized out of no where.
You looked at him moodily. "Jinki will never drink again."
"Jinki would want you to be hydrated," he encouraged, pressing the drink into your hands. "And he didn't drink water, he breathed it."
"This is just so messed up," you muttered, humoring him and doing as he said.
"Who would do this?" he whispered, rubbing his forehead. "I understand there are sasaengs, but to go to this level?"
Judging by the words written across your walls, it was definitely a "fan" that was responsible for the crime.
"The online hate was one thing," you said quietly. "I expected it to a certain degree, but I didn't think it would escalate."
"K-pop is such a global and attainable thing now," Hongseok nodded. "There are more fans than ever. I know it's silly not to think any of our supporters capable of this, but..."
"Has the lineup been announced publicly at all?" you asked, tilting your head. The dates were meant to be a surprise for you, but you knew details were commonly leaked online.
"Not that I know of," he sighed. "I mean, of course there's been rumors in the industry of what groups would be participating, but is that really enough to make someone snap?"
"I don't think it takes much to make any given person snap," you muttered. "We could try to reconcile it all day, but really, it's just senseless."
"We can't continue the show," Hongseok said slowly, side-eying you. "Your safety is more important than this."
You hadn't had time to give it much thought, but you figured he was right. The sensible part of you agreed that it was time to shut it all down, but the obstinate part of you pushed in the other direction. You didn't want to give up. You couldn't let the people who did this run you off, but how were you supposed to move forward?
First your apartment...what was next? When would a fan show up at filming and do something even more drastic?
How were you supposed to feel safe ever again?
.
Picking up the pieces of your broken life was one of the hardest things you had ever done.
After the police had finished up at your place, you salvaged what you could and packed it up in a few boxes before the My Idol crew whisked you away to the nearest hotel. To their credit, it was a very nice one that you could never have afforded yourself, but it didn't lessen the sting of the cause for your visit.
And for Hongseok's part, he didn't leave your side until the staff had forced him...into a hotel room down the hall.
To both your delight and horror, the entire show's operation was locking down. You would still be going off the premises for dates (with heavily increased security) but any time a contestant appeared, they would be shipped off to the safety of what had become the My Idol compound.
There was no shutting down production under any circumstances.
You had signed a contract after all, with no escape clauses for this type of situation.
Sighing to yourself, you pulled on an oversized sweatshirt and a pair of shorts. Grabbing the ice bucket, you shuffled to your door and gave three knocks. That was the "code" if you needed to leave.
Instantly, you heard the click of your lock (that you weren't allowed the key to) and the door swung toward you. Smiling in the hall was the security officer for the night shift, Insu. "Going somewhere?"
"Ice," you sighed, smiling sadly up at him. Although you had known this man for less than 24 hours, he was already a comforting presence. Standing at least a foot taller, and broad enough to take over half the door way, he was a force to be reckoned with.
And it may not have mattered, but it was worth mentioning...of course he was good looking.
"Optimal time for a late night stroll," he grinned, motioning at you to step into the hall. Walking past him, you tried not to look too long, but it was difficult. While his face was generally unmarred, a long scar was evident from the corner of his left eye, all the way to his jaw. It didn't make him any less handsome, obviously, but added a certain amount of character you weren't expecting. You weren't rude enough to stare or ask, but you were curious of the backstory.
"How's your day going?" you tried, ambling in the direction of the small room that held vending machines and the like.
"Great," he answered calmly, nodding at another security officer stationed by a different hotel room door. You wondered to yourself if Hongseok or Jungkook were locked inside. "I would ask how your day is, but I have a sneaking suspicion I already know the answer."
You felt your lips tug up at this. "It's going better than it was a few hours ago. I think I'm still in shock, honestly."
"That's understandable," he agreed. "Even before today, this world was new to you."
You hummed in response. He was right. Since this show had started, you were trying to navigate new ground, but today had completely upended everything you thought you knew. "How long have you been in security?"
"I did similar work in the military," he acknowledged. "Once I got out, this is what made sense."
"So that means..." you trailed.
"Seven years," he chuckled. "Including the two while I served."
"No way," you gasped, pausing to turn toward him. "How old are you then?"
This startled another laugh from him. "Twenty five."
"Oh," you said quietly before beginning to walk again. "So you joined right after high school then?"
"I did," he confirmed. "I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life and I thought it would be nice to have another two years to consider it."
"Sorry if I'm prying," you winced, worried that you were pestering him while he was just trying to do his job.
"That's not necessary," Insu said. You weren't going to look over your shoulder, but you were certain their was a smile hidden in his deep tone. "It's important that you know who is protecting you."
Turning into the room with the ice machine, you placed your container in the appropriate area and waited. After some loud crunching and getting ice nearly everywhere around your feet, it was time to head back.
"Let me," he insisted, taking the small bucket from your hands.
"It's not heavy," you laughed, glancing up at him.
"Did I say it was?" he hummed, a spark of something playful in his expression.
"Just being a gentleman then, got it," you hummed, allowing him to fall behind you again.
"It's quite literally my job to make this a little easier for you," he affirmed. "But I'll take the compliment."
Walking back down the hall, he turned the conversation your way. After answering a series of questions about schooling and your career, it wasn't long before you were at your door again.
You weren't expecting to feel so...disappointed.
"Get settled in for the night," Insu advised, handing the bucket back over to you. "Hyuk will be taking over in the morning."
"Right," you nodded. "Goodnight then."
"Sleep well."
Closing the door between you felt much louder than it should have. Shaking your head, you tried to clear your thoughts. It had been a long day. It was natural to try to find comfort in anyone that had crossed your path.
"Of course," you whispered to yourself. That's exactly what it was.
..
Hyuk was not nearly as graceful as Insu.
"Sorry," he grumbled, shouldering open the stairway door. He wasn't much taller than you and was likely old enough to be your father. "This building must be old."
"Right," you laughed nervously, stepping around him and toward the lobby area.
Being in one central location wasn't so bad, but you weren't sure how transportation would work.
"He's already at the destination," Hyuk said, as if reading your thoughts. You nodded absently at him as you saw the My Idol SUV already parked outside. Admittedly, you were exhausted. After the day and night you had, it was nearly impossible to fall asleep. The PD's you worked most closely with tried to push today's date out a few times, but scheduling simply wouldn't allow it.
Climbing into the vehicle, you plopped into the backseat, your eyes quickly catching on what was going on outside of the vehicle. Across the street, barricades had already been set up to contain the fans who had evidently found out what hotel you were staying in.
"What?" you hissed, angling yourself to look more closely.
"We've got the situation handled," Hyuk reassured. "They're being kept as far from the building as possible."
"Across the road is as far away as possible?" you whispered, your stomach dangerously close to vomiting what little contents you had in it. "How did they find out?"
"In this city, if you want to know something bad enough," he grumbled. "You can usually find someone willing to give it to you for the right price."
Turning toward him, you knew he saw shock plain on your face.
"Welcome to celebrity life, Mx. Y/N," he sighed.
After a quiet car ride that only took about ten minutes, you felt anxiety begin to crawl up your spine as your driver pulled into a large parking lot. Looking out of your window again, you saw the location for today, the Han River.
"Isn't this too open?" you asked, trying to tap down your panic. "So many people are around."
"We have a specific area cleared out," Hyuk said, his voice more gentle than it had been before. "We will keep you safe."
You swallowed hard and gave a curt nod. If you were going to do this, you had to trust the people around you no matter how difficult it was proving to be.
"Don't let them win," you whispered. Maybe if you repeated the mantra, it would make this whole thing easier.
Hyuk looked at you with a lifted brow. "Good call."
Easing out of the car behind him, you were disheartened. The usual rush of butterflies and anxiety that came before a date were a bit dampened. Of course, it was understandable given the situation, but it also wasn't fair to your date. Or yourself.
Taking a deep breath, you set your feet on the pavement and looked up at the grassy knoll beyond. Surrounded by security and the camera crew, a man stood before a small pop-up tent. Holding a slim box in front of his face, you only assumed it was a man by his build. Broad and muscular, he was dressed in dark, ripped jeans and a black t-shirt. As you drew closer, you narrowed your eyes at what he was holding.
"What's this?" you mused, shaking your head in disbelief.
Your date pulled the box away from his face and gave you a large smile. "Hi, I'm Ateez's San, and this, is a gift from me to you."
Pushing the item away from himself and into your hands, you looked down and chuckled softly. "A new laptop?"
"I heard you've had a rough few days," he hummed, securing his hands behind his back. You glanced up at him, his handsome face wearing an easy smile. "And lost a lot more than anyone deserves to."
"San-," you whispered, on the verge of crying. The gift was expensive, there was no way you could accept it, especially from someone you had only just met. "I can't-"
"Nope," he said, cutting you off immediately. "Getting back to normalcy in a time that's anything but normal is hard. You gotta start somewhere, right?"
"I swear if this starts a chain of dates bringing me household appliances," you teased, looking at him with gratitude.
"Then we'll all be taking our turns making life a little easier on you," he grinned. "One step at a time."

If they're hearing Monica Rial and Chris sabat sabotaging kamehacon, I think I want to hear your thoughts about that
Tumblr media
I’ve been waiting a while to address this since the initial allegations have come out, mostly to wait and see how Tumblr reports about this and if they put Monica, Jamie and Chris on blast like they did with Vic but its apparent that its not gonna happen.
Let me say this: These people have harassed, threatened and downright tried to take away the platforms and voice, the very things all these people on Tumblr claimed Vic did and not one person who wasn’t already on Vic’s side has spoken out about what has come out in the spotlight and I can’t say I’m surprised but I’m still disappointed. 
With that being said, let me give my followers who may not have been keeping up with the case the rundown:
- Funimation DID NOT do a second investigation on the allegations and the first investigation came up inconclusive and this was BEFORE VIC WAS OFFICIALLY HIRED TO VOICE BROLY IN DBS: BROLY which is why he was greenlit to do it in the first place. But Monica, Chris and perhaps even Sean Schemmel (or whatever) used their influence at Funimation to fire Vic without a second investigation. 
- Despite claims, NONE of the allegations against Vic have been proven. No one has gone to the police and there is even evidence that those rumors that you guys have been “hearing about for years” were all from previous attempts by Monica, Chris Sabat, Jamie Marchi and many others (including Monica’s fiance Ron Toye and his flunkie, Shane) to ruin Vic’s career. Yes there have been MANY attempts to ruin his reputation that even predate the #MeToo movement. 
- Vic has hired a lawyer, his name is Ty Beard of the Beard & Harris law firm located in Texas where Vic lives, and where companies like Funimation and Rooster Teeth are based and many people have already been served papers (Ron Toye being the only one confirmed but if he got them, the other must’ve got them too, they’re just not saying anything).
- Since Vic hired a lawyer he has made ONE statement and that was to the FANS who kept supporting him through this and this was weeks ago. On the other hand, Monica has threatened people with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Jamie has said she wanted Vic DEAD on Twitter just because people have asked for proof on their claims and allegations. 
- Marzgurl is involved, if some of my followers don’t know who that is, she was a former employee of Channel Awesome who actually used to date a proven pedophile (Jewwario) and has even been said to have contributed to him grooming minors and protected him even after allegations (with proof) came out about him among all the other terrible shit that has come out about Channel Awesome. But its been confirmed that she was one of the main one spreading the rumors about Vic sexually assaulting people while she herself has been known to protect a proven pedophile.
- There’s a lawyer named Nick Rekieta on Youtube who has received papers regarding Ron Toye reporting him to the Minnesota bar for his “unlawful conduct” even though all he did was report on the info that he’s gotten on the case. He’s never claimed to be professionally or personally involved in Vic’s case nor is he representing Vic. 
- There is suspected evidence through texts, Twitter DMs, calls and emails, Monica, Jamie, and Chris Sabat have been on a blackmail spree with these conventions. Threatening walk outs even speaking for other VAs who have nothing to do with the situation (saying they’ll walk out too even though they never said they would) among other things. This has been going on since the “scandal” came out and gained attention. 
- In the past few days, it has come out that specifically Monica Rial, Chris Sabat along with Ron Toye and Shane have been literally threatening the owner of Kameha Con with walk outs and criminal charges if he allowed Vic to come back to the convention. They even went as far as to blow up this man’s phone for 3 HOURS STRAIGHT with various rants and threats. This is ILLEGAL.
Tumblr media
Sorry I don’t have links for everything because they are already laid out on Nick Rekeita’s Youtube channel videos about the case among others like YellowFlash, Hero Hei and to a lesser degree, The Quartering. 
And to all the people who after knowing ALL of this still defend these people because “uwu victims must be believed!” 
Tumblr media
And to all the people who think they can just believe and tear down people over allegations and think allegations are enough to ruin people’s lives and livelihood: 
Tumblr media
YOU. CAN’T. DO. THAT. 
Is called a WITCH HUNT and its wrong, it was always WRONG. This is why you’re innocent until PROVEN guilty. Do you know how MORE fucked up this country would be if anyone can make up rumors and shit and get their lives ruined without proof?????
PEOPLE LIE ALL THE FUCKING TIME!!!!!
WOMEN LIE ALL THE TIME
POC LIE ALL THE TIME
LGBTQ LIE ALL THE TIME
EVERY HUMAN BEING CAN LIE.
You don’t get to be on a pedestal dressed in white because you’re a minority because minorities can be wrong too. Minorities can act in evil ways too. I’ve seen it. I’ve seen minorities steal, cheat, lie, and commit several crimes both criminally and morally. 
Vic isn’t evil for being religious, I’m religious, I believe in God, am I evil for this,or do I get a pass because I’m a black female??????
Vic isn’t homophobic, he’s supported the LGBTQ community before and he’s not homophobic if he doesn’t agree with your shitty non canon yaoi ships and he doesn’t have to sign your shitty yaoi doujins (in fact I think his contract says he can’t sign or promote non canon material). Even if he was homophobic, THAT’S NOT ILLEGAL. Its called FREEDOM OF RELIGION, EXPRESSION AND SPEECH. And you can’t silence people, as long as he’s not harming anyone physically or inciting violence against someone, he can believe what he wants and you have no legal capacity to do anything about it and if you do try to do anything about it, HE has legal cause of action just like he has with this case. 
Vic isn’t automatically evil because he’s a straight white male and Monica/Jamie aren’t angels because they’re women. 
YOU CAN’T RUIN SOMEONE’S LIFE WITHOUT PROOF. VIC COULD’VE COMMITTED SUICIDE FROM THIS BULLSHIT. ANYONE COULD’VE KILLED THEMSELVES IF THE CAREER THEY’VE BUILT FOR 20 YEARS WENT UP IN SMOKE BECAUSE SOME BITCHES DIDN’T LIKE THAT THEY COULDN’T MANIPULATE HIM. AND WHEN ALL THAT PROOF TY BEARD HAS BEEN COLLECTING FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS COMES TO LIGHT YOU BETTER FEEL BAD FOR IMMEDIATELY BLAMING VIC BECAUSE IF HE KILLED HIMSELF, HIS BLOOD WOULD BE ON YOU TOO YOU FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT.
You can’t convince me that they didn’t want Vic DEAD. Jamie fucking admitted it on Twitter!!!! Vic DID apologize to the FANS he made uncomfortable but these harpies STILL dragged him because he didn’t bend to THEM. THAT’S how you know they don’t really care about victims. THEY DON’T CARE. 
Tumblr media
And to all of those people who jumped on me for standing with Vic from the start:

I'm also glad I'm back because our Royals talks lift my spirits, regardless of the subject. Something about kindred spirits in both affection and saltiness. :3 To your point, you're absolutely /on-point/. They're going to try and present the Liam-Cyrus team-up as a case of "the end justifies the means". But there is no version of this argument, w/in the current canon, where Liam comes out on top. Because none of what we saw is actually a harbinger of some grim, destructive, totalitarian [1/10]
“reign of terror” - as some finale reviews already called it - by Robert. In fact, I’d go as far as saying this: Robert made a power play and a move to establish control over everything he could, including actual people, their lives, relationships etc. To him, it’s all fair game, because he���s king by (birth)right. /But/ there’s another side to be examined here i.e. the one where Robert, in those few well-crafted, sneaky, morally dubious and truly ingenious moves that got him the crown and [2/10]
the control, managed to get the affairs of his house in order - a stark contrast to Simon’s inability to do so in S1. Going back to Robert’s return after 8 months of being “dead”, we see him watching videos online of everything that happened in his absence. As viewers, we know what he sees (and what he doesn’t). S1 kicks off probably w/ a couple of hours of his “death”. So the writers give us a very short highlight reel to indicate what Robert’s watching online, and here’s the interesting [3/10]
part: one of the highlights is Simon’s “pack of zoo animals” as he’s reasoning for his decision to abolish the monarchy. Well, well, well. Looks like Robert came back after 8 months of being considered dead by all, only to find a dead father, who was also an admittedly damn good king, a family and monarchy that have been turned into international jokes (the narrative has made it repeatedly clear that Simon, Helena and Robert maintained the monarchy’s good face, even and especially w/ the [4/10]
twins’ and Cyrus’ and his family’s less than stellar behaviors), and a king that /would/ have been a joke had he not been well on his way to destroying the entire country. So what does Robert do? He ends the Queen’s inappropriate - as it would have been seen by people, according to all of S1 and S2’s lectures on the public’s expectations of their royalty - affair with her Lord Chamberlain. Bye-bye, potential future scandal. Hello, devoted widow Queen and mother to the current and beloved [5/10]
and rightful King. He ends the Princess’ relationship w/ a conman who tried to rob them (the why’s of the show’s willful avoidance of the topic of the… blackmail sex is a whole other discussion), which is another, bigger scandal waiting to be outed - which he proved, too - and pushes towards Eleanor’s way a guy who has been thoroughly vetted for potential surprises (like, does anyone doubt that?) and who is aristocratic. We /should/ not here that the guy has been nothing but entirely [6/10]
respectful of Len and her emotions, her boundaries, and has pushed her to pursue things for herself, independent of her family and any romances. Seriously, Sebastian has been stellar, you can’t make a case for the opposite (and the off-handed mention that Robert called him and invited him to the gala w/ Len in mind, although not saying anything earlier is suspicious, this is equal parts proof that he might be honestly responding to an opportunity for a new and great acquaintance presented [7/10]
by someone he must have known somewhat - not to mention that no one has any reason to think Robert wouldn’t want the absolute best for Len in all matters). Moving on to Cyrus… well, do I even need to say anything? Robert took the crown from a horrible king, then told an appalling person to pull his act together or he’s out of the palace. (It was in S1, so maybe some people forget, and it’s not something the other characters know, but let’s never stop mentioning that Cyrus has abused his [8/10]
position /repeatedly/ to r a p e female palace staff. Whatever torment and punishment Robert inflicts on Cyrus, it will never ever be too much, let alone enough, considering all Cyrus has done.) So anyway. I think we can all agree that Cyrus w/o power and gone makes for a better world. Hm… what else? That’s all I remember. I hope they don’t tell us that Robert brought down Jack’s plane. (And here I thought there’d be no ways left to make the writing any worse.) Anyway. To sum up, there [9/10]
is zero actual evidence that Robert won’t be a good king - in fact, some of what they’re trying to pass off as proof of this, can actually be seen as indications to the exact opposite. To be clear, Robert’s not an angel. But that’s not a bad thing? He’s a /person/. A person raised by Simon, Helena and Cyrus w/ the expectation that he’ll be king one day. And Liam can’t base his current pursuit of the crown on anything but selfish reasons. P.S. I bet you regret my comeback now. Sorry. ♥ [10/10]
Tumblr media
First of all, don’t ever be sorry for talking too much! I love hearing your thoughts. Second, ALL OF THIS. Seriously, it’s all spot on. 
Now, reign of terror? I don’t even know which show these people are watching anymore. To compare Robert’s reign to a reign of terror is insulting to all people actually living under a dictatorial regime. Besides, it proves they all don’t even remember the previous seasons where we got much closer to that under Cyrus. 
And I love how you showed that Robert has been trying to remove future scandals and problems like one removes your opponent’s chess pieces out of the board. With ultimate precision and no sentimentality. This also reminds (to add to your examples), Cyrus saying that now the British Lords from the Privy Council were doomed because they wouldn’t be able to do the same shit they did with him under Robert’s reign. And basically, everything we have seen this season proves that, while Robert might have been deceitful, his goal has always been to restore the monarchy to its’ former glory. 
And isn’t Simon’s “pack of zoo animals” comment so interesting? His first thought to abolish the monarchy was because Robert, which is basically the only one of them who isn’t like that. So when he comes back, his first action is to put order back in the house. 
Regarding Eleanor, Robert might have invited Sebastian towards the gala, but he didn’t push them towards each other. They started talking and liked each other (as friends) all on their own. It’s another of those situations where Robert anticipated how people would react, that they would hit it off, but he himself didn’t do anything. And I imagine he didn’t tell Eleanor about Sebastian because if he did, she would be stubborn and not give him a chance. 
I won’t talk about Cyrus because you’ve said everything, yikes. People are complaining that Robert called Kathryn a whore in a moment of anger but defending Cyrus despite his repetitive abusive behavior. Like, don’t. 
I really really hope Robert isn’t responsible for Jack’s plane crash. There is no reason for it. Jack was a suitable match for his mom, so why would he want him killed? And I don’t think he would ever try to kill her. Besides the fact that he loves her, Helena as Queen has no power now that Robert is King. If they do go down this path, it’ll be just another stupid attempt to make him the villain. So  if the crash was indeed set up by someone, let's hope it's some new villain. 
That’s it. Again, thank you so much for your input! I love hearing from you

"Think Fast" OC Meme Part 2
This is the second part of a five part OC Meme I got from deviantArt. I am way behind on keeping up with this stuff, sorry.
Links:
Meme Intro
Meme Part 1
And now...
..:: || Phase Two, Personal Touch || ::..
You've survived phase one, now it's time to get personal >:3
5 and 7 are taking a shower, what's happening?
5 :: War-Prince Jothorr-Horics-Apudiin [FanChar - Animorphs] 7 :: Hiriin-Eillif-Gibyil [FanChar - Animorphs]
The aristh (an Andalite military cadet) stepped into the shower. It was a large one, one of the public shower stalls generally kept near pool complexes and such. Of course, earth was a strange place to Horiith, and he had no idea of such a concept as he looked up with his stalk eyes at the many shower heads above, his tail twitching in nervous anticipation as his main eyes looked for a potential threat. He would be ready to impress the legendary War Prince walking just behind him.
As for that high ranking Andalite, his own bladed tail was arched and ready, but held with a steady confidence. Jothorr's stalk eyes kept a sweeping vigil as his main gaze focused first on the shower heads, then upon the knobs that controlled water. He had heard of these places since the place called Earth had been explored. The pools were used for recreational swimming, and these artificial waterfalls known as showers for the humans to clean themselves.
The young one before him should have known too, if he'd paid attention in his schooling. Judging by the wary way Aristh Horiith was looking at everything, though, he had no idea what this equipment was for. A lesson should be taught here. So Jothorr reached out and tried the knob, figuring out which way to turn it so that the artificial waterfall they had stopped under would begin to dump upon them. He had no concern for his own blue fur getting wet as well.
The much younger Andalite reared up slightly tail whipping forward at nothing as he released a thoughtspeak shout of surprise, <Ahhh!>
<The humans call this place a shower, it is where they bathe,> Jothorr explained, his voice firm in the young aristh's mind, <By this point, that shouldn't be uncommon knowledge.>
Quick! 8 has walked in on 5 and 7 in the shower!!
8 :: Exsul-Issil-Impator [FanChar - Animorphs] 5 :: War-Prince Jothorr-Horics-Apudiin [FanChar - Animorphs] 7 :: Hiriin-Eillif-Gibyil [FanChar - Animorphs]
Exsul-Issil-Impator was another aristh, and could not help but wonder where the other two Andalites on this mission had gone. Wandering through the area in search of them he heard the thoughtspeak shout that Horiith had unwittingly broadcast far too openly. While it could be hard to tell where such voiceless communication was coming from, the Andalite people had evolved with it for eons. Exsul, therefore, was able to track his crewmate to the public shower.
Hesitantly he entered, uncertain of what waited. Inside, what did he find? Jotharr the great and fear inspiring War Prince was fumbling to maintain his footing on the wet tiles, four hooves scrabbling beneath him in search of traction. Horiith had already succumbed to the slick surface and was sprawled across the ground with great humiliation, his bladed tail flicking agitatedly.
Somehow an abandoned shampoo bottle was knocked over, the top sliced off (presumably by a tail blade). The soapy substance oozed its way out, and finally plopped onto Horiith. It coated his stalks, and again he let out a thoughtspeak cry of agony, <Aaagh! It burns! What is this slime weapon!>
<The tiles are impossible when wet!> Jotharr raged skittering towards the exit, <How do human use such environments daily!>
Exsul blinked all four eyes in stunned silence, not daring to set another hoof into the shower. If either of the others were injured for their foolishness, they could heal through morphing...he had no such luck if he became trapped in the slippery fiasco, <Good luck, Horiith! War-Prince Jotharr, you've nearly made it sir! >
With little pity for his fellow aristh and tormentor, Exsul focused mostly on trying to help the War-Prince to safety without exposing himself to danger.
While 8, 5 and 7 are busy, lets see what 1 and 12 doing in the hottub!
1 :: Ardell Mort [Experiment 666] 12 :: Noriko Gijouhei [FanChar - SamCham]
Noriko closed her eyes as she learned back in the hot tub. She had been hesitant at first, but eventually it was explained that it was rather like a hot spring. This strange limbo between universes was a mash of technologies from all the different realms they came from, and she was overwhelmed and anxious about it all. A nice hot spring...or hot tub...visit would do nicely.
Suddenly a disturbance in the water alerted her to someone else's presence. Her dark eyes snapped open as the elder Japanese woman shot a look at the intruder.  His own eyes were shut in a grin as he faced her, "Hello there! Lovely day for a dip in a hot tub...Bubbles away the stress."
"Of course..."One of his eyes eased open, spreading his face into a cheeky wink, "There are other ways to work off one's stress as well~"
"How dare you!" Noriko drew away, attempting to cover herself, "I am a married woman, and far too-"
A sigh escaped the man, "Married, unmarried, does it matter? You are still beautiful, and beauty should be appreciated, shouldn't it? Are you appreciated, Noriko?"
A funny sort of sensation swept over the woman she looked into his blue eyes.. on one hand, she was ill at ease with his forwardness, and blatant attempts to sway her affections from her husband toward himself. He was a much younger man, it was a scandal and likely a blackmail scheme! On the other hand, she was flooded with the sudden sense that no, she wasn't appreciated. Her husband and son had ignored her objections to the boy's former fiance, which had lead to disaster. Yet she was still viewed as the wicked one in that scenario.
"Who are you?" She breathed out, "How...how do you know me?"
"I'm an admirer," The young man smiled, reaching up to tease a strand of silvered hair, "My name is Ardell, and I see how much you do for them...try to look out for them. They take it all for granted, though. Such a shame..."
Think fast! 11, 10 and 2 crashed 1 and 12's party in the hottub!
11 - Sister Agnes (aka Madeline Dawson) [Experiment 666] 10 - Umiko (Age 9) [FanChar - SamCham] 2 - Hiroshi Gijouhei [FanChar - SamCham]
Gripping tightly to the sunflower she had for her mother (it was purchased in the final bit of Part 1 in a trade) Umiko raced through the unknown melding of realms that formed the meeting place for this random crew. Sister Agnes, who had purchased the flower along with her own bouquet in exchange for a future favor was running to keep up with the child.
"Wait, little girl!" She found it hard to match the youth's pace, "I...I can't just let you run off alone!"
As the two females raced past, Hiroshi looked up from his wheelchair and immediately locked his sight on the child with the sunflower. There was something very familiar about her, for sure. She reminded him of a woman he loved...and a man she had married. Quickly he pushed himself off after them.
It was even harder for him to catch up, with their head start.  Eventually though, Sister Agnes caught Umiko, which allowed Hiroshi to catch them both. Only then did they realize how awkward the situation they had walked in on was.
"Oh my!" Sister Agnes swept up Umiko and covered the child's eyes to shield her from the scene of Ardell's blatant attempts at seducing Noriko.
Hiroshi's chair jolted as he suddenly stopped, his dark eyes gawking at the unexpected and unwelcome sight, "Mother?! What on earth is going on?!"
Noriko was suddenly brought to her senses and pulled hastily away from the young stranger, looking in shock at her son, "Hiroshi? I..."
Ardell sigh and leaned back against the side of the hot tub, a pout on his features, "Now my fun is ruined..."
4 just found out that 9 used their toothbrush to scrub the toilet!
4 - Trinity Dawson [Experiment 666] 9 - Galbin Mort [Experiment 666]
As Trinity brushed her teeth, she thought something was off; a strange sort of taste from the bristles that blended with the minty paste. Pulling the brush from her mouth she  spat the froth in the sink and fought back her gag reflex.
An obnoxious laugh sounded from behind the shower curtains, cuing her in to the fact she was not alone. The curtain pulled back to reveal a boy of around twelve with a wicked grin and mischief in his bright yellow eyes. His red hair was pulled into a high bun and freckles dotted his face, "You actually used it! Stupid girl, a literal potty-mouth!"
Trinity's eyes widened with realization as he spoke. The toothbrush flattered against the sink as she dropped it and heaved, needing to vomit, but finding the taunting boy no seated on the toilet and no trash can in sight. The only places to empty her stomach were the sink, floor, or tub.
"Oh. You could probably use this toilet about now, hmm?" Galbin canted his head in thought, "It would be rather nasty to puke anywhere else...I could move...for a price."
"You're Terri...ble" Trinity gagged out between waves of nausea, testing the door to find it locked somehow.
"Well, of course," Galbin shrugged, with a bored smirk, "It's the quickest way benefit. If you don't see that, well...You're only human. Now, how much do you have? I'm sure you don't want to scoop chunks of vomit out of the tub. So empty your wallet, or give me some valuable trinket, we can call it even at that."
Without putting up further argument Trinity dug out her wallet, but had no time to hand over any cash before doubling over and emptying her gut on the floor. The wallet dropped to her side as she braced herself on the sink. Hopping to his feet and carefully avoiding the splattering bile, Galbin grabbed up the wallet and easily opened the door, "Then this is payment for cleaning your toilet! Good business! And I don't do floors, you're gonna scrub that up on your own!"
