Being ace can be pretty isolating at various times, for varying reasons that I don't feel like I have to explain because if you are ace, you probably get it.

#asexual #ace #pride #vague post but you know..*gestures to nothing* #i dont think i even need to expand on this #aromantic #could be thrown into this as well #things are just sometimes frustrating when people dont get it #if you read tags cook bc here we go a bit #there is always this talk of being left behind or being forgotten about or whatever #and yeah its true and when things happening almost in succession that makes it even more aware and apparent that yeah you kinda do get left #behind a bit* #so many ppl want marriage and or kids and its like #what about the people that want to hold on to things as they currently are? #to friends and books and cats and fictional feelings #and the way some ppl you know talk about how people gradual drift apart? #like thats a full on decision #thats not always a mutual thing #people leave at times and another person that might not be ready to end that connection with a person has to navigate their way through it #on their own #but like society is so weird to people that dont want the predictable life path #as you get older questions become are you married #do you have kids like its expected #where are the questions like whats the latest book youve read #whats your current favorite fandom #what makes you happy or brings you joy or whats a good thing about today? #not sure where im cycling down into with this bc theres too much to touch on #but not everyone wants sex or kids or marriage or crippling responsibilities of adulthood #sometimes we just want a hobbit hole to disappear into #a friend to text or pizza to eat or something funny to laugh at

breaking my silence on chess the musical to say that i would literally not give a fuck about this show if i thought it was good or fully successful at what it is saying. SORRY! i love how messy she is. i love how since 1984 and continuing to this very day people with entirely different perceptions of and opinions on the musical have attempted in their own ways to "make it good" by creating all these different versions with like notably different plots, characterization, and song order, and i love how fucking bad the vast majority of these are despite it all. i hope people keep trying to fix chess the musical forever and until the end of time. i hope no one ever figures it out. i want every currently living theatre director in existence to make their own version and for all these versions to come out on broadway at the same time, making that year's musical season entirely comprised of various different versions of the cold war chess musical by tim rice and half of abba. i want not only our greatest minds but also our middlest-of-the-road and worst minds to come up with their own conclusions as to why chess does not entirely work in its original form or any subsequent forms like to really think about it and yes i do want someone to dedicate their entire life to perfecting chess by releasing version after version after version until they die peacefully but still, as always, in the grips of obsession. i want marriages to be broken up. i want mental states to be shattered. i dream of this world

#it speaks! #ive said this on another platform but i dont like using that platform none of my friends are there. so you all get the expanded version. #pearl's chess rant: deluxe edition. and im not even finished. #i want at least one intrepid director to do what ppl do with shakespeare and set it in a completely different era -> #<- & change the central political conflict but not enough so its still like. well now this is about medieval feudalism why is it also -> #<- still about a chess proxy war ... that just makes no sense. it just doesnt make sense ........ #'breaking my silence on chess the musical' sam knows i think about it still. but for the purposes of public appearance. you understand. #chessposting #chess the musical #<- real ones know i rarely maintag but i want all seven active chess fans to see this bc i need their insights

Do you think Kubo not expanding on certain things in bleach is a good thing ? Like Orihime & her parents (I don’t think she’d ever want any contact with them if they were though) , did she see Sora ever again (maybe in soul society) idk it just makes me think sometimes.

yes, absolutely, one of the biggest bleach criticisms was that there were way too many characters & kubo wasn't able to balance all of them, so it would have been a logistical nightmare trying to fit in more

#the acidwire fight conclusion was pretty satisfying so i don't understand the point of opening up the sora plotline again #and i also dont understand why people would even want to see orihime's parents when they hardly had any impact on the plot #they were abusive so sora & orihime escaped & hollow!sora held all the sacrifices he made for her throughout his life over her head #that's the extent of their impact so i don't get wanting to see them at all tbh. don't touch what's been satisfactorily concluded! #i think among the list of things that needed to be expanded orihime's family is like. the LAST item. maybe not even on the list #asks

the only people that say that comic books arent hard to get into are the people that have been reading them since they were a kid. and the only people that say that comic books are too hard to get into so you shouldnt try are the people that have never bothered opening a comic book.

#as a bitch that got into them like 2 years ago. its fuckin hard #especially if you dont like not knowing things #however its not as hard as some people want u to believe #like one of the first books i read was batgirl 2000. fantastic entry book #first of all its amazing second of all you dont really need a lot of prior knowledge to understand it #but even then. it gets confusing. #since i didnt know a lot about other big events i didnt know what was going on in any crossovers #like ok um why is bruce wayne being convicted of murder rn. #like when i was getting into comics i had wikipedia open for like half the comics i read #i think the hardest part is finding a starting place #then continuing to expand from there. like there’s so much and it’s HARD #and sometimes saying ‘just use a reading guide for a character you find interesting’ um. does not work #my rose reading guide is my baby but it is NOT a good starting point for people that haven’t read comics #anyways i’m sorry this is not meant as a slight to anyone #i just love to give my two cents all the time

No but that's kind of what I was talking about a couple days ago because like… I really do feel "jealousy" is such a small part even of how Mine feels about Kiryu, let alone of his motivations. So I Guess Instead Of The Tattoo Essay You Get This 💀💀💀

But like his chief concern is not that Daigo feels strongly about him, but that he feels SO strongly about him that his interference with the resort deal can and has endangered lives, including Daigo's own. Like, it's not only that purposefully putting his men in danger for a controversial figure like Kiryu would be bad for Daigo's reputation if it got out, but at least one person has died. Daigo was only ever going to send more men to their deaths, because Kiryu's worth it to him, and he got almost-kidnapped and shot over it.

And it's all for the sake of Kiryu Not Just Taking The L And Moving Somewhere Else With The Kids. That's what I think Mine is getting at with his comments on Kiryu's "hypocrisy": in cutting all ties to the yakuza abruptly to try and do something good with his life, he's also abandoned his responsibilities and is living in almost willful ignorance of the shitstorm his mistakes and his stubbornness lead to, right up until it lands on his doorstep.

In the Okinawa character story, Mine has a moment of genuinely understanding what Kiryu and Daigo are trying to do, and that Kiryu values Daigo's efforts even if he's not aware of the lengths he goes to. That's part of what changes his mind on Kiryu when he came to Okinawa with the intention of killing him.

But when Daigo's shot, he can't bring himself to think Daigo brought it upon himself by interfering, or to look at it neutrally, so even that understanding becomes twisted as he has no one to blame but Kiryu. Kiryu is, after all, the reason Daigo interfered in the first place.

And because he's the CEO of projection and he himself was so easily won over by Kiryu in Okinawa, he thinks that if Kiryu topples the remaining officers, his charisma could carry him to the Seventh Chairman's seat unopposed, permanently. Of course, he's not considering that Kiryu wouldn't even want to do that; kind of like Aoki thinking Arakawa is gunning for the chairman's seat, I guess.

So in his mind, the stakes are incredibly high. Because Kiryu's return would mean neither Daigo nor Mine (believing himself to be the only person capable of carrying out Daigo's will) could be chairman. To Mine, the Tojo Clan is and should remain "The Sixth Chairman's Tojo Clan," so for the chairmanship to go to the man who (in his view) landed Daigo in this coma would be unacceptable.

If he's going into his first proper meeting with Kiryu with that mindset, it's really no wonder that it takes very little for him to actively see Kiryu as his enemy and go to the lengths he does in the finale to provoke him into a decisive battle. Dude was spiraling.

And I think that's the heart of it, because if you really interrogate Mine's perspective, you could honestly make a pretty convincing argument that what we're looking at isn't even jealousy. It reads AS jealousy to the audience and to Kiryu because he sounds like he's mad about Daigo liking him period. But as I've said, it's not actually because Daigo likes Kiryu and not Mine/more than Mine, it's because he likes him despite how often and how badly it comes back to bite him. We just don't get that context until RGGO, and Kiryu never gets that context period.

Which is not quite to say he doesn't, at least subconsciously, want to be liked by Daigo as much as Daigo likes Kiryu. I think it's incredibly incredibly notable that Mine has this fascination towards the people Daigo holds in high regard, and he's initially just curious about what kind of man Kiryu must be for Daigo to like him so much.

You see this play out directly with Mine overhearing Daigo's old friend call him Daigo-san and then, when Daigo tells him not to call him chairman in public (kind of like Shinada on the plane lol), opting to call him Daigo-san too. He could've just gone with Dojima like most people would and Daigo'd be cool with it, but he chose to emulate Daigo's friend, because that's how he wants Daigo to see him.

Huge part of that character story is the way Mine agonizes about not being as close as the term "oath brother" would suggest (especially after being abandoned by Kanda whereas Daigo took a bullet for him). So I can see his curiosity being like, this is another guy Daigo likes, is there perhaps anything about him I could emulate for Daigo to like me more…? Answer's No, but still.

Understanding people is kind of a big deal to Mine, I think. That is, of course, why he joined the Tojo Clan: to understand what makes Daigo tick, and to understand what would make his men want to die for him. So when his attempts to understand Kiryu are frustrated, that seems to get under his skin like almost nothing else. Because I notice that's when he really loses it in the finale, when Kiryu starts talking to him like he understands him while he still doesn't understand Kiryu.

Kiryu is the biggest threat to Daigo in Mine's eyes and it vexes him that he'll never understand why that's even the case. It's completely irrational to him, and because he's never really had family, he'll never really get why this sort of thing is almost second nature between family members who are that close.

About that, On The Lowest Of Keys and to be 100% thorough, I guess it's also a possibility Mine may have misinterpreted their relationship as romantic. Because Daigo goes on and on about how the Tojo is family to him and how Mine's family to him, so for Kiryu to be more than family in a way he can't explain sounds insane.

If you don't specifically know that Daigo means Kiryu has been more of a parent to him than anyone that could be considered his "real" family (i.e. Sohei and Yayoi). And. You know. Daigo doesn't Explain That Part. Not that he has to, but when you're dealing with the CEO of projection...

At the very least, Mine uses horeru for what he thinks Daigo feels for Kiryu in 3, so I just have a feeling he didn't get the memo on, Well, Anything. Perhaps fair enough on his part because 3 came out before a lot of that was explicitly fleshed out but GIRLLL STOPPP

And despite the nuclear levels of secondhand embarrassment that comes with this scenario, it's also… kind of funny. I'll say it. It would be kind of funny. It's like in 0 where Majima thinks one of the girls is going on a date and gets super protective but it actually turns out to just be her dad (massive grain of salt on this I hardly remember 0 so it might not have happened), or even in 3 where Kiryu thinks Haruka's got a boyfriend. Like why is Mine actually kind of dumb it's so endearing

But yeah no that's like… the only real avenue I can see Mine appearing to be jealous, but even then it's tenuous. I can't really make any definitive statements about it, as we've seen. I think at most it's just like, when you think your crush's ex (In Your Mind) is no good for them but they keep defending them; maybe some of that resentment is rooted in your own feelings, but it's also not unfounded. You know. I think Mine's always been a character whose methods and conclusions are much more questionable than his motivations.

YMMV on nearly everything I've said, but I just feel like… leaning into the jealousy aspect is the easy way out. It's easy to understand. You can say that and be done with it without writing over a thousand words (SORRY </3) to back up your point. But I (obviously) think there's so much more complexity to it, and jealousy is almost a fraction of a fraction of it, to me. It may be more time-consuming to examine the rest, but it's worth it.

But also admittedly biased because 95% of what I've seen the fandom do with the premise of Mine being jealous just isn't that appealing to me. I'm sure some would say I'm woobifying him or something here lmao

im getting the most intense feeling of deja vu and i do not know why but anyways.

in the short and sweet of it, i do think the bulk of mines feelings towards kiryu can be explained via their first meeting. his grievances can be quickly summed up through him calling kiryu a 'hypocrite' in that he thinks he can take care of one family while abandoning another and acting as though he can go back and forth however much he wants (and this can be highlighted with how many times mine refers to other people- i.e. hamazaki and the orphans- as kiryu's 'victims')

like a part of it could be jealousy but as you said it's not the main feeling- it's a fraction of a bigger thing and mine's own personal issues

#long post #snap chats #i dont have much else to say youve already said everything i could ever say. as per usual (￣▽￣;;;) #i have thought extensively about the whole 'hypocrite' bit before tho #i dont remember if ive made a post bout it on her or ive just talked bout it on twitter but yeah.. #mines issues lie in the 'opportunity' kiryu sullied i guess #or at least his irresponsibility is what i think i mean #idk i still have a lil bit of a headache from yesterday so im even more incomprehensible forgive me #i dont need to try to speak for you or expand for you tho youve done that well enough #i always try to comment when there isnt a reason to ( ´◡` ;;;;)

some fashion dreamer adventures from playing too much in the past two days :) (MY USER ID IS LGXwM6wQk5 FEEL FREE TO request stuff or whatever u do in this game i forgor) :

(ignore shocked shane this aint about him) made my OC dave as my first muse so i am kinda playing hard mode with the type b body situation but im like. determined now. im gonna make the flashiest and cutest and over the top outfits i can muster with the scraps theyve given the the type b (jk jk its not TOO bad its the best we've gotten so far but I do wish i could wear shorter shorts and crop tops and some of those type a socks are so cute i saw some that were like bandage thigh highs. dave should be allowed to wear thigh highs. dave should be allowed to wear thigh highs)

still having a lot of fun tho! sometime i should get around to making a type a muse but most people i meet are type a so i never run out of people to dress either way LOL

like most people i have things i hope they add in the future (like i said before, the lack of zoom is DIRE) and right now some of the currencies and levelling systems feel a little unbalanced (i have so many of the star things and bingo things and a decent amount of gacha things but the photo prop coins are my most coveted thing rn i have like 1 single one JKDLSJFDS) but im enjoying myself a lot like i knew i would

was trying to take a pic of this other player's muse that had this really neat witch situation but i accidentally made dave dab and got really scared <3

in the end we must all go to the photo egg. in the end we all go into the photo egg. the universality of the photo egg.

kinda wacky from daylight savings time changes i always get wacky i dont know what year or time it is. i spent twenty minutes scouring the ACT cocoon for the showroom stream 'cause i couldnt find it until i accidentally went into this like. basement alley. its in the basement alley <3 <3 <3

i guess we dont just go into the egg. we also. go into the. cocoons. the cocoons. in eve? cocoons in eve have. eggs in them

anyway i just unlocked cocoon FUN and its so awesome and scary and so so scary look at this bear

free this bear somebody please free this bear ignore dave posing free this bear cocoon fun has bears behind bars and gazebos that raise you into heaven its so scary and awesome

going back to the photo props my favourites so far are the flowers theyre so cute

i dont do the vertical photos that often because theyre kinda hard to do (u have to like. turn ur head or the switch to the side..... im nearly exclusively a tabletop switch player so i cant imagine what its like for docked player LOL) but this ones cute!

but yeah very fun and extremely addicting i need to go to bed. i need to go to bed. i have assignments and i need to go to bed. but i want. to make outfits..........i must.....make outfits......graaaaahhh........GRAAAAAHHHHHH (turns into a zombie before your eyes)

#i dont do enough of the making of clothes tho i keep forgetting #i think they do need to expand it more. i understand not having like patterns people draw like animal crossing #(hard to moderate for a very online game) #BUT i do think they could do some WONDERFUL things with the system they already have for making ur brand logos #like that brand logo maker is UNREAL do u want a logo of a toilet in a heart with a forest background? you can do that if u want #you can do anything in there its absurd #but if they added the ability to make like tshirt graphics or maybe even repeatable patterns with that system it would be awesome #but i do need to make more designs. my brand is in SHAMBLES #also this is besides any point but its wild playing the type b body at the default height in a world of type a's at their default heights #everyones always looking up at me. is this what its like to be tall. is this what its like #why are you looking at me like that. whats going on down there. is this what being tall is. strange and unusual #although speaking of height its awesome the height varieties between the two body types like #the default is like slightly short type a and slightly tall type b but if u want u can be the shortest little guy or the tallest lady ever #its fantastic. i think the tallest type a matched the tallest type b pretty close and same with the shortest type b to type a #u can be small. u can be big. the world is our oyster. takes your hand and we run together into the sunset

blissfully ignores the harsh criticisms of s2/the finale 🥰

#real talk: totally valid to have negative opinions #but i personally loved it but will be grieving the fact it was a shorter season when it definitely needed to be longer </3 #great writing and set up and characterization just unfortunate they didnt get the proper time to do it full justice :( #bc wow there was some really great stuff i *wish* they could've expanded on #10 eps would've been great but i think even like 12 would've been perfect #if only hbo max cared about their writers and their queer viewers 🤷 #i really hope we get a s3 like please please please keep watching the show make it trend be loud !! #our flag means death #ofmd s2 spoilers #?? #tp #kyspeaks #havent seen the finale yet BUT i doubt my thoughts are gonna change #also i do have my qualms with this season and i dont think its nearly as strong as s1 #but its also not completely fair to compare imo bc of the budget cut/run time cut #tbf the main reason i love this show is bc of ed and stede's relationship so im also quite a bit biased

It's a mix of a strange type of entertainment and kind of to keep me open minded? Cuz if I have to look at it and I wanna talk about it I gotta read it through in detail to make sure I'm reading them right so yeah I don't have anyone blocked 💥

16- you can't understand why so many people like _______

............ok I won't that theory because I have another ask that I'll do that for....

The thing that disturbs me about Angel is that you can see the writing made her unintentionally unlikable and the less we see of her the worse it gets. She has some heavy feelings about her and Patrick's relationship. But she just comes off as a jerk to the reader. Like she's not that hard to fix. She doesn't have much characterization to begin with. I think Angel just suffers from being a tired trope of " ex-wife character who exists solely for our protagonist to mourn over their marriage."

oooooooooooh youre sooo right

she has such potential but its wasted by writers failing to Write Her

we don't get to spend much or any time really with her so its left up to the reader to interpret her words and what's said on the page- completely barring angel from getting a proper comic book character treatment by having her actually appear in stories (slightly off topic, but when it comes to comics books Show Don't Tell is a very powerful tool. it's easy but meaningless to say angel and Patrick loved each other, you must show the reader again and again and again for that statement to become true)

because we get so little of her and comparatively so much of plastic man, we literally cannot see what the writer's intended for her (if they intended anything deeper than surface level plot device at all), her thoughts and feelings, her goals and regrets- she fails to be 3-dimensional because she was simply neglected the space to be.

and because we spend so much time with plas, we get to actually know and like and appreciate plas, its jarring when this woman shows up (who we quite literally don't know at all) who's supposed to be so important to plas but instead just acts as brief bit of pathos for plas.

It's hard to sympathize with angel because we don't get to see her as Angel, the mother who struggles with her superpowered son and her life who has to make the tough decisions all the time and just can't handle Patrick's absence anymore. (all these things are true or could be true with minimal thought and effort) We just see Plastic Man's Ex-Wife who dumped him for reasons out of his control.

#like. sigh. angel is barely a character #she wasnt even introduced in a plastic man comic #i don't think she even appeared until the terrifics? (<-not sure about that) #i think her name was mentioned in the JLA comic where Luke first appeared but did we even get to see her physically? i dont remember #could you imagine if plas had an actual comic series that lasted long enough to introduce her #build her personality and her relationships #and then show the fallout? #could you imagine #angel only exists to give a reason as to why Luke exists #and since that's her ONLY reason for existing- theres no need for writers to expand upon her and continue using her for other stories. #hence why theyre divorced. the divorce gives a convenient excuse as to why shes been cut from everything

#rwde #first i wanna know who actually makes these clothes. are they tailored for every fang or mass produced? #where are yall getting the resources? why do yall even need a uniform? wouldn't a logo bandana or smth suffice? #id love a pair of white fang socks ngl #but anyway gr8 to see that the color show is following up on its color symbolisms and foreshadowings #love that yang literally never gives a shit abt the plight of the faunus even when shes iN lOvE w one #and that she only knows adams name from a news reel but acts like she knows all his dirty laundry the one time they actually talk #and she doesnt even say smth like 'fuck you for taking my arm what the shit was that abt??' #like id personally like to know why some random jackass decided that i should lose 10 lbs in 10 seconds but whatever #you do you Yang #but straight up i dont think ruby even knows abt adams existence #blake mentions him by name at mt glenn but ruby was on watch and not part of the conversation #only yang saw the news abt adam being at beacon #and only blake sun and yang ever fight the guy #RUBY CANONICALLY DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT ADAM TAURUS #man it sure would be a bummer if in an au adam and ruby had met in mistral and hit it off and ruby accidentally helped deradicalize adam #and neither of them know exactly how closely entwined their mutual people are so when the others find out all hell breaks loose #god i wish i could work on ohar but my trilogy has already expanded into 5 installments #plus the essay im currently dying over #guys i need an intervention send help lol

Okay it's 4am so this is gonna be kinda sappy or whatever but So Much of what I read involves romance (and I read,,, So Much in general) that I've kinda become desensitized? to it? or something? Idk I've gotten really used to it and I can appreciate it in writing from like a narrative standpoint or whatever, but then occasionally I'll come across a story about an aromantic/aroace character and I just have one of those "oh" moments, y'know? where I'm reminded that I can be happy too. I could have the kind of meaningful relationships these characters have and I don't have to force myself into a romantic relationship to have that. Like, that's genuinely an option and it's so good. Cuz, like, I knew that, but until you see an example of it and you can kindof picture yourself like that more clearly you don't really know it.

#In fiction in particular the character being aromantic really drives home the point of having really strong and close friendships (separate #from queerplatonic relationships) cuz like you *know* that its distinctly platonic. They're aromantic so there's a guarantee that it's not #being written that way to lead into romance or have romantic undertones that just aren't explicitly stated or expanded on. Which is very #good and comfortable for me. There's also just the whole 'this character is Like Me' thing which is nice. #ghostprince posts #idk I was doing art earlier involving the aroace flag and thinking about moving up my next doctor's appointment to talk about top surgery #and just generally being kinda introspective. And now it's 4am and I'm reading a fanfic about an aromantic character and his friends during #valentines day and how they're showing affection all-the-same with no expectations or strings attached #and like 'oooo cringe fanfiction' or whatever but something I've been tryna work on is acknowledging that my interests are genuine and #aren't something I need to be embarrassed about and I should allow myself to be expressive about what brings me joy or something. #Mostly this involves explaining Minecraft mechanics and the OBS Studio settings menu to my dad. But it's progress. I dont think I can go #about it in the same way as my brother but I'd like to start working towards being a more genuine and happy person if I can? I've still got #all of ths mental illness and physical ailments and everything so my efforts may not work out if I can even work up the energy to try #but I'm atleast starting to *want* to try being me and being happy for once. Idk I just think that'd be nice. #I also want to buy a custom-made cowboy hat. #DNRB #not a vent but still a personal post so no reblogging please

I mentioned this briefly before but i think I'm willing to expand now in the idea of Travis' touch starvingness (?) going both ways, as in, wanting to touch people too.

I talked about how it took him some time to be more comfortable hugging and kissing Can unprompted and unjustified, just because he felt like so, but it doesn't limit to that. Took him a while to gain confidence to get involved in acts of affection and intimacy, to feel he was worthy of it, that he deserved to do that.

Can did make it very clear for him that she didn't care about that, it was beyond what her brain could process, but she knew she wanted it and so did him, so that's all they needed.

#worms.txt #oc can #travis hackett #I'll expand even more on this concept eventually but i needed it out of my system for now #but i do want to write a lil drabble of Can. i forgot the word but. outright talking about it w Travis #bc this is actually 100% outside of her understanding which would be okay if it wasn't something that upset em both so she wants to - #- understand so she can help #its 2 am i dont think im making much sense allow me to excuse.myslf... #edit: the word was confronting 😁

hi!! i love your writing. i was wondering how you keep it up? i love to write as well. but here lately i have felt burnt put and not motivated. how do you keep motivated? 💗💗💗

hello and thank u sm!!! it's v difficult for me to keep up sometimes as well, i have a v busy schedule w school and internships and work,, but i think that allowing urself even like 30min to an hour per day where you put aside all the other things that are making you feel burnt out or unmotivated (family, school, work, etc.) and allow urself to creatively articulate that is great :) i think for me a lot of the stressors that keep me from writing (depression, anxiety, adult life) become themes within my writing bc i use poetry and writing to express my frustration about those things...like if ur feeling burnt out write a poem ab feeling burnt out!!! write a poem ab being so depressed u cant write a poem!!! esp if u rlly want to write Everyday i think utilizing ur daily emotions and expressing them through poetry allows u to get them out and deal with them in a way that isnt so exhausting or such a chore...if that makes sense 😭

#tldr i think if ur feeling burnt out or unmotivated u should write ab that bc thats how ur feeling n thats smthn u know and can articulate #there some days when youll feel inspired to write ab love and life!! #and there some days where youll feel like u cant write anything #write ab that!!!! #ur emotions are always happening and avaliable to process and expand upon thru ur writing #that said i dont write everyday (even tho id like to) so allow urself a break if ur feeling burnt out as well!!! #sometimes u just need to recharge fr <3
