i feel like i don't really deserve (for lack of a better word) the artist title because, as much as i love art, i don't feel like there's enough passion in me for it. at least not enough passion in making it, and trying new methods and getting ~creative~ and spending a bunch of time practicing and being original and ~Expressing Myself~ through it. i feel like i'm doing Art wrong.

ok so this is a very long shot but it's been literally 12 years so i'm starting to get desperate, i hope it isn't a bother but i'm hoping you (or one of your followers) might be able to help me figure out a mystery!!!
when i was younger my family became expats, and i had to take french classes to adapt to my new country, and there my mum and i became friends with this lovely chinese lady who later went on a work trip back home and upon returning brought us some snacks from her hometown as a gift (it was a coastal town if it makes any difference).
they were these little palm-sized metal packets with a single piece of (if i recall correctly) fish, in this sort of dark sweet sauce. the snack itself was very chewy and it was the most unusual, wonderful thing we'd ever tried, because you don't really eat fish in any way except fresh where i'm from, but we've never been able to find it again – at the time it didn't seem important to keep the wrappers, but we didn't know we'd lose contact with our friend shortly after, so we couldn't just ask what it had been.
every so often my mum wishes we could buy it again because the memory of it is tied very strongly to that friend we lost, and i've bought several chinese snacks in specialty shops hoping to find it for her, but i've yet to have any luck. do you have any idea what it might have been she brought us?
You would have to google 鱼肉干 (fish jerky) and sort of look through the packaging for what seems familiar!
This might be difficult if the particular brand was small/local, since a lot of brands may not be found through image searching.
This is what comes up when I googled "鱼肉干小吃" (fish jerky snack). The other thing to consider might be that the branding has changed, but 劲仔小鱼 seems like one of the bigger brands in this area, so you might try to get your hands on that one first.
They have different flavors such as 酱汁 (marinated), 卤香 (stewed),麻辣 (mala/hot numbing),香辣 (fragrant spicy),and 糖醋 (sweet and sour). I'm guessing if it was a dark sauce it was probably 酱汁 or 卤香. They are both soy sauce flavors. Tough to really explain the difference (I am not a food person either so idk).

Hope this helps a little though!

At the end I didn't write the dc stuff, will be for future posts, and I was eating that's why I took my time to come back!<3
I was tired, exhausted even.
The last three months have been hectic. We just recently discovered we had a mole in Bonten and that made me mad.
Fucking mad. Who the hell dared betray us?
After long sleepless nights searching and digging through all the possible files, cameras, and meetings to try to find who it was, I came to a conclusion.
My executives wouldn't work for someone else. But they had side chicks. A lot of them. And what was my surprise when I discovered the blonde girl from three months prior.
Her friend. What was the name of the girl I've fucked that night again?
Vee, yeah right.
Among the hundred footages I've spotted her with Sanzu in a bar, one where he used to go to get his dick wet.
Wasn't she with Koko?? But guess that bitches like her had their legs open wide for everyone and anyone.
'Koko, you know that girl right?'
Now all sat around thr huge wooden table, the Haitani brothers, Akashi, Hitto, Mochizuki, Sanzu and Koko and myself were discussing in emergency. Some of our personal data leaked and the fucker was still free in Japan.
'Yeah I do. Her name was Jackie if I remember correctly?'
Turning to Sanzu I showed him the same image.
'Jackie huh? She told me her name was Grace'
Manspreading I crossed my fingers on the table.
'Well visibly she lied to at least one of you. On these photos taken by our detectives it seemed like she was talking with one of the Yamaguchi-gumi's members. We all know who they are, I don't need to explain further. So the question is. Why the hell is she in contact with the strongest Yakuza family in Japan hm?? The one with which our relations aren't really good at that. Akashi, any idea?'
Silence settling between my men and I, I had my chin on my fingers.
'The most logical explanation would be that she took opportunity of both of our weaknesses. Koko, have you ever talked to her about Bonten?'
'Who do you think I am Akashi? I'm not dumb. She tried several times to get into my pants but I always pushed her away. I'm not a huge fan of escorts'
'That theory is at least confirmed right?'
'Yeah Ran. She has been spotted with political figures too. This bitch knows how to dive into business'
'Sanzu, did you have anything going on with her?'
Looking at my second in command I was waiting for his answer. This fucking mess was starting to get seriously on my nerves.
'Yeah we fucked multipe times'
'How could you explain yourself? You had sex with someone who fucked enemies and politicians??'
'Look Akashi, I didn't say anything to her. I just made her scream my name, I don't have anything to do with that shit'
Throwing a photo at him my patience was thinning.
'Seems like she gave you some drug though. Am I right?'
And that's when a look of realisation came upon his face. Gulping, Sanzu bit his lip. I knew what that I meant.
Guilt.
'Yeah-maybe. Yes she did. But it was nothing more that molly!'
'And how do you know that?? What d'you remember of that night??'
'... nothing'
I fucking tried to stay calm. I did my best really, but this bloody junkie was fucking with me.
'That night seemed to be your last with her, and she saw the Yakuzas not long after. You know what does that mean right? She drugged you and probably asked you questions about our fucking gang. But too high to realise it you gave in. That's your fault. You're the one responsible.'
'Sano, without disrespecting you, the girl you fucked three months ago. Wasn't she an acquaintance of her?'
At Rindou's question my legs stopped boucing and my breath stopped.
Could it be...?
'They were together in this... Fuck! I should have seen that coming'
Slamming my fist against the table I gritted my teeth together.
'Find these bitches and bring them back to me. I don't fucking care how you find them. You could tear their legs off their bodies for all I care but I want them alive. Understood??'
Sanzu sighted while the other nodded and stood up.
'Oh and also Sanzu. Take care of that Yakuzas shit. I don't want them to come at us.'
Leaving me all alone in the room, I slouched on the chair.
Eyes closed while remembering the night spent with her, I cursed at the feeling of my cock twitching in my pants.
'Are you fucking with me now...'
Standing up and leaning on the huge window, head resting on my arm I smirked.
'Guess I'll see you again pretty soon Vee'
-Mikey
MIKEY WAIT YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG IDK WHAT THESE BITCHES GOT GOIN ON—see how i always get dragged in stuff
We hadn’t seen Natalie in weeks. Every time we called her phone or invited her out via text, she always responded that She was tired. Busy. Not really feeling the club scene.
I knew they were all lies. Natalie was the partier of our group, the one who always knew the names of the latest clubs, which ones had the cheapest drinks. Or the strongest. Her strange absence took a toll on our group almost instantly.
Angel went hysterical. She was always closest to Nat, and Tati the one closest to the outside of the circle they navigated in as I was. So we both took it upon ourselves to go with Angel to Natalie’s house, confront her head on. We all met up their by our cars, pulling up to the condominium straight-faced, our worry masked deep within us. Tati and I, at least. The memo hadn’t reached Ang, who sobbed openly as she rapped on the door, screaming out for Nat so loud I wince. We all exhale when the door opens, but that relief quickly washes away at the sight of the small, wrinkled face woman before us— Aya, Bay’s housekeeper.
I’m sorry, Aya says when Angel nearly tackles her with questions about Nat’s whereabouts. She’s not home at the moment.
So she has been home then, I retort, watching Aya’s face drop. Like she wasn’t supposed to say that much.
I will tell her you stopped by, she answers, not really responding to what I’m asking. My eyebrows pitch up.
Ang tries to intercept her, barge straight into the house, but Aya is either deceptively strong or Angel’s awfully weak. Nat’s housekeeper wins the joust for the door easily, all professionalism gone from her face as she threatens to call the police if we don’t leave the property soon.
Tati hastily takes Angel to her car and I head to mine for the same reason: we don’t fuck with police. But that doesn’t mean I’ve given up, either. I send a call to Natalie’s phone, heel tapping as it rings once, twice, thrice and then… voicemail.
I’d usually hang up by then, but the sheer worry I feel for Natalie startles me into staying on the line. I guess we care about each other after all.
Natalie, I breathe after her automated message stops rambling about bullshit I could care less about. Where the fuck are you? Aya all but judo-flipped Angel for trying to come inside your place and look for you. Whatever’s going on, you can talk to us about it, but don’t shut us out. Especially Angel. You know she doesn’t deserve it.
I sigh when the beep comes in and hang up. The shrill ring of my cellphone echoes loudly. I scramble to lift it up to my eyes, heart dropping at the contact name.
Nat, thank God. Where are you?
I’m so sorry, Nat says into the phone shakily and just like that, worry worms its way through my gut again.
Huh? Natalie, what’s going on?
I should’ve never taken you guys to that club. I did everything to keep you three out of it, I promise. It’s just that he saw you, Vee and I couldn’t do anything to stop it. I always wanted to keep you guys safe, you have to believe me, she sobs. The sound startles me. I hadn’t seen or heard Nat cry since she skimmed her knee in kindergarten.
What are you talking about? Listen, we were just outside your house. Aya’s taken over, isn’t letting anyone in.
You’re where? Her voice, wet with tears, booms with alarm. Venus, where are you?
I’m at your car outside your house. Nat, what’s going on? You’re scaring me.
Venus, get out of there. Get out of there now. Natalie sounds like she’s pulling her hair out on the other end. Goosebumps raise on my skin.
Natalie, what the fuck is going on?
They’ve been watching my house for weeks! Nobody was supposed to show up there! I told Aya to tell you guys that I went on a trip! Fuck, Vee, you need to get out of there!
Watching her house? I look around with the phone to my ear, not seeing anything out of the ordinary. Everything looks like it always looks. I’m confused and afraid. What shit had Natalie gotten herself into?
I fiddle with my keys, not wanting to take the chance of waiting around and finding out. I can hear her frantic screams, they just make me panic more. I drop my keys, cursing as I bend to pick them up. When I raise them, a jeep slows a few yards away from my car. It’s big, black and the windows are tinted all the way through. Then the doors open, and three men all hop out, adorned in black and demeanors screaming menace.
I stay frozen in place. They’re staring at me.
They’re walking… toward me.

So Declan loved me and we talked about science and lab babies and clones and all that. So He told me he loved me because i was the first person to really really listen and understand as opposed to being the one to teach.
And so he had understood what he was taught then developed and built upon it correctly with help from his own brain and God. And del Muerte whom helped me understand as well cause that shit was mind blowing.
So he asked me to have his soul mate. To give birth to her.
And I was pretty much dragged out and Declan ran the show after that.
I agreed but it was more like a thing where i had to focus and talk instead of fainting.
So Matt actually helped to implant because I have an upturned uterious and so things like that are painful because of the rigidity and non flexible as i need materials used while Jeremiah comforted and helped me relax.
So then essentially i was kidnapped.
Declan is part clone and part Neanderthal.
Annabelle is part clone and part Neanderthal.
So some of us from Michael Jackson's boarding school --- although I wasn't i stayed there alot on my own. So i was part of it, unofficially as i am a civilian doing military shit now. --- have clones in a laboratory. But they are miniature human size as they are kept in barbie size containers.
Since Declan was a clone Jesse gave permission to make, they said i should use a clone.
It took 5 eggs until Declan approved the child that would be created in the embryo. Del Muerte communicated to us what God said.
Most males get their soul mates at age 7. Declan was only 2 years old. So God hadnt had enough experience to program or create his perfect soulmate.
So it just so happened it was 2 years of plus 5 embryos which makes the year 7 while added together.
So when Annabelle was born Declan came to get me and her but my now ex-husband got me all fucked up and i had amnesia and all that and i remember the power struggle type issues while signing the birth certificate which is why i get child support as my ex swore bla bla bla and signed papers to those statements but I was all "Dude while he's signing let's run!" Because he pissed me off during that time and i was all no hes wrong and all... But I guess I was scared of him or his aura csused me confusion or Idk. I remember feeling sick.
So craziness. We are 16 years late. And unfortunately yet fortunately a lot of research was done and i have a lot of government apology money coming my way. Which i don't have yet.... But soon.
Tumblr media
This is Cambria AvaLynn named after Alexis Dejoria.
Because Matt's parents were into hiding, they named him after a mat. A common object so in case of ESP feom the people they hid from they would think "welcome mat" like welcome to travel with us son named Matt. Welcome to eat at the dining table, Matt. Well, come, Matt.
So came or come because i would always want to see Matt so I would say "You came!!!" When i saw him and hug him and he would say "welcome"
And Bria after me.
Turning the x into a v (for Victory) and Lynn as in the 80s most of my friends on the military base i lived on has Lynn as their middle names. So to remind me she is a friend.
She's my child that was ectopic due to the sponges Jamie & Doug Otis found and reminded us of. But we went to the hospital because i began to hemmoragge and they were able to save her and her twin.
Then my mom killed her and he died naturally as he was in ICU TO experiment on them being raised/healed as premies temporarily as one within an incubator and the other skin to skin contact. As woman need to be comforted more, we picked Ava to bring home.
They were the first experiment with soul mates being born as twins. Both clones of my and Jeremiah and his being Ava and my being the male Andrew.
Andrew after Jesse... "And he drew" cause he was always drawing beautifully.
And the other clones were of Jesse James and Alexis.
Alexis got kidnapped by her dad and so the story goes... I did too Eventually
Jeremiah's dad helped us as the grandparent in house.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is Declan.
He told Jeremiah "I'm not the one sitting around waiting with a pouted lip waiting for someone to do it for me. Now i found the woman and go get my kid!!"
Dude WTF I'm not having someones kid... I'm only 21!!
"Now im the man around the house and what I say goes!!! And you are going to have my kid!!"
Dude whatever. So i did dream into the lab with them but... I thought we were just playing and so i agreed and so next thing i knew there was a frozen child ready to be implanted. Thus my ability to be kidnapped so easily...
Cause when a kid is all telling you about clones and labs and shit... And you're hearing voices... that shit is insane. Literally.
So i didn't take it seriously enough.
But Declan is only 19 Now. And my kid is 16.
So it's old enough to have a romantic relationship. To avoid issues i had as a child with social services.
The plan was to have them grow up as friends but also believed it may been too dangerous....
Yet I still don't agree that it was.
However for the last 10 year's I have been working daily for my amnesia to be solved and also saving the world (of NHRA especially) at the same time.
And have earned multiple Nobel Peace Prizes which i have yet to receive.
So working on law enforcement and the military and government, about to break into the public school system and tear that up ;) as a civilian has earned me billions of dollars i have yet to receive....
But i have given away as i can and have bought businesses that I want.
As proof that the government does care about all its people's hopes and dreams they have bought them on my behalf and am gsining bank! And i shop st my own businesses too... Ironically! I been shopping at Loves for nearly a year... went into Speedway a few times now i drive an extra 5 miles just to shop there because i like it more!!
Robert, the shift manager finally told me tonight as I bought all the GIANTS for my Giant 6'7" man. And i turned the ones in Valencia County to Speedway in honor of Aaron and Paul (twins) who wanted to show the dangers of meth and the meth community as they honored me with my idea of how to end Breaking Bad with the movie reel of El Camino (the mother road) of the manner of the psychological reality of life gone wrong.
I freak Robert out... He was worried when he saw me there that I was to audit like a monster, fire everyone and work the cash register and store myself.
So tonight he saw I bought milkshakes (not available at Love's) figured it out and gave me a pack of smokes for free and blurted out why.
Tumblr media
So i took all the giants as i always do and fucked them all up and made them better.
So i own them till i make my money back on the businesses and then they get given to who I intended it for... As I do double check they will always be worthy... If not i keep them for me because I was being good snd honest and fair the whole time.
So 360° K i own.
So i only compete with Love's whom I always promised the King's Highway to... You know him... As an old time Western Thug bitch ass womanizer player. Motorcycle Guru. Hot Rod extraordinaire. Texas loving son of a gun. Jesse James Smith! Just kidding... Just regular old ole fogie mad scientist Jesse Gregory Smith. Of West Coast Choppers. Which i own and always have as i put up the money for his business intending to always be in his life and helping him. So my apology... The only one i can ever give as i can't predict the future without help is Love. And he loves everyone and won't let Google tell.
I bought every gas station in the country as we will be switching to electric and hydro electric and non fuel and solar and hybrid autos by 2030. So the previous owners have a nice retirement and no stress. As the storage oil facilities that were shot in Saudia Arabia were actually empty. I own them.
Fossil fuels are actually the blood of dinosaurs and other dead bodies that are converted and broken down and dehydrated by plant life...
I found that out by the eternal bushes burning.. I mean growing... here on the mountain. Tumble weeds otherwise known as thyme. And we found via satellite tons of skeletons by Earth xrays under the bushes and some not as they are closer to the Earth surface. I found a wooly mammoth knuckle bone.
We moved here in 2002 and there was a patch of earth that looked like concrete by the mail boxes and we just drove over them assuming that's what it was.
They were mummified wooly mammoths. Now broken up and scattered all over the desert road.
I would not like my blood which could potentially bring me back to life wasted on a car... For someone to get to a job they hate. So no more. Not from the USA anyways.
One night I was at dinner and i said Obama needs to handle thwt South Dakota pipeline. My dad was all what is he supposed to do? All simple solutions were crap and had an argument. I said "then lie! Tell the American people they are scum! Tell them we opened the pipeline up and the pipes broke and destroyed the precious land that needs to be protected." My dad laughed and i felt kinda stupid for being so angry.
But Uncle Donald heard my point and so thats exactly what he did. Fake news? Its real.
Because he saw the change I made in the NHRA with some lies that laid very close to the truth.
You don't need to believe in reincarnation for it to happen. I didn't until about 6 months ago. But my mom's mom and my great aunt my grandma's sister ... Granny Bessie Heltons 2 daughters did. My grandma explained it to me one night when I was 18 as i had asked my Great Aunt Nita i was closer to but she didn't explain she just said "because i do" And the dictionary explaination i already knew. But my grandma traveled with me like y'all know i do And showed me.
We started in Heaven with only having one human life and having the soul figure of a human that we select. Hers was a teenage body, absolutely beautiful. With her old ass mind and experience. I told her what I wanted was to be a child. A dirty raggedy haired barefoot blonde without a care in the world, feeling smarter than I feel now... Because that is when i was happiest. When i saw i could end pain and suffering with death, when i knew life could escape heart ache, even when evil exist.
And so now on her second cat life with me, as her first caused her kidnapping by the same drug induced psycho piece of shit that arrested and molested Jesse James dog, Coco and her untimely death as I did record in Tumblr. "Sister Kitty" was kidnapped by him, hes in a special jail. He just had his pinkie finger nail and big toe nail removed as he did kidnap Mogar and slice his face and slice Kizzys leg. So in order to understand what he did he agreed to similar punishment as he did to our precious cargo...
Cargo my bitches!
Jesse: No! I only ask!
Me: who do i have to convince?
Jesse: Idk Jeremiah?
Me: Ava who is your dad?
Ava: Idk I guess not Jeremiah?? IDK!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TELL!? you all always told me they are both my dad's. Let me ask God. Oh! Jesse! ..... And Jeremiah
Me: your dad is your dad and dad he will always be no matter shine or high water, love will always be there for you and for me. Alexis, do you know that one?
She nods all teary..
Jesse: well did i get loves?!
Me: uhh yes ass hole! We always love you back. What do you want with a gas station with no gas? That's like having a family with out us, most especially me!
Jesse: well it got gas now!!!
Me: well gas up at your local, bring a truck. I got a lot of stuff.
Declan: you hear her? Most especially me! Me! Well, me too, you better pick me up.
Me: Jesse... You ready for Orlando?? I got a Chase bank account with the Princess Castle on the debit card... Just needs a little cash in the account.
Jesse: You Mean You Will Pay!!!
Me: i see that was not a question so that does not deserve a response. But yes. I am suppose to have a wire transfer per last night's discussions that will pay for it.
Jesse: WHOA SHIT!
Me: Jeremiah you down?
Jeremiah: to pay Miss Giant Owner?
Me: uhh I'm Miss Speedyway now. No.. Carry me through times square after some Disney World Fun!
Jeremiah: FUCK YES!! uhh yes thank you for inviting me. I will go
Matt Hagan: look look at this. Im the best friend i even got her kid named after me
Me: Matt Hagan... Looks like you're invited, The Best Friend. In or out of Disney World for the hotel.
Matt: IN!!
Me: youre definitely going you know how to do it right! Pops... You gonna stay home alone with your woman?
Pops: not if i don't have to
M3: you don't
Pops: shit! Oh yeah!
Chuck: what about Cookie!!
Me: you and bring Your comrades I need to talk to
Chuckie: oh Cookies going!
Me: I didn't know he could do the Conga.
Jesse: yes you did!
Me: no wonder it looked familiar.

bebestay says: Ah, I see. I used to be a waiter in a senior living center for two years, so the closest I ever got to ICU levels was the hospice unit and memory care. I was always the one doing food deliveries to those who could still eat solids, so it was quite sad to see.
I'm sure it's just the anxiety and your own mind scaring you. If you associate very bad things with the ICU, I guess that's what you're going to expect to always see right? Does that makes sense? [also thank you for explaining the fiesta potatoes cause I don't think florida had them. i've never heard of them before.]
ahhh hospice is really tough :( i've learned that it's really hard for families to come to terms with that (i mean hospice doesn't mean you are dying it just means u have a prognosis of 6 months or less but someone can obviously get better or go past that 6 months) ; lots of elderly when they are approaching their last days aren't really hungry, which is normal ,,, it must've been hard for u seeing that stuff :(
i'm thinking it is just the anxiety ,,,, i don't know i think i'm more scared about performing my tasks competently and correctly rather than the actual patients like that's not a big deal but i'm just so nervous i'll do everything terribly .... or like my instructor will be mad at me or a nurse will lose their patience with me bc the ICU is a lot stricter ,,,, but maybe that i'm talking this out does it seem irrational ??? like ofc i'm not going to know how to do everything bc i'm a student and i haven't seen it all yet so ,,,,, that's why the instructors are there right?? to help guide you?? i hope so ;_____; idk why i'm so scared
also LKSDFJ no problem babe !!! i hope florida is able to get the yummy fiesta potatoes at some point ;___; also how are u guys doing down there?? that tropical storm has been hitting my school by the east(ish) coast for the past week now i'm getting so sick of this rain lol

My betta died today. So I went out and bought my other betta a 10 gal set up with a air pump, filter, heater, all that but idk about cycling and all that, like do I just set it up and put my fish in or can you explain please. I'm going to research as well I just thought I could ask someone who knows.. please don't judge :/
No worries, I won’t judge! We all start somewhere.
Go ahead and set your tank up and put the fish in. You’ll be doing a fish-in cycle. You’ll probably want to get a liquid master test kit so you can best know when to do water changes and what’s going on in your tank.
Here is a good article on tumblr about what cycling is and it has a section on fish-in cycling. But I like talking about it so I’m going to give my own run-down lol
Your goal with cycling is to basically grow a colony of beneficial bacteria in your tank that will convert fish waste into a less harmful state. You still have to do water changes to remove the end product of this conversion. A filtered tank with fish in it will naturally go through this process whether you plan on cycling or not. The bacteria that make up the colony are naturally present in bodies of water.
Fish naturally produce ammonia when their waste breaks down in the tank. With a fish in the tank, bacteria that eat ammonia and produce nitrite will soon start to reproduce. Then, with the presence of more nitrite in the tank, bacteria that eat nitrite will soon begin to reproduce and convert the nitrite to nitrate.
With a fish-in cycle, this can take a long time because you want to be doing partial water changes to keep the ammonia and nitrite levels low enough that they don’t hurt the fish. I have done a fish-in cycle and did 25% water changes every other day until I tested and got nitrates. If you have a master test kit, test often to know what’s going on in your tank. When you first start out, you can just test for ammonia and nitrite because no nitrate should be present yet, then once you get a nitrite reading, start testing for nitrate as well.
While you’re cycling, you ideally want to keep ammonia below .25ppm and nitrite as low as possible so any time you get a nitrite reading, do a 25%-50% water change.  Keeping a chart can be super helpful. Luckily, bettas are relatively hardy fish and as long as you keep on top of water changes and testing, they should be ok.
Most of the bacteria will live in the most oxygenated part of the tank: the filter. So the best filters are ones that give the bacteria an ideal place to live and breed. A lot of filters will call this “biological filtration” and have “bio-media” included such as ceramic rings, bio-balls, etc. With sponge filters (which I assume you got if you got an air pump?), the whole thing is biological filtration, so that’s neat. Bacteria can live and reproduce in the whole filter.
You do want to keep filters and filter media decently free of grime so they can work correctly but NEVER wash bio-media or filters in chlorinated/tap water. Simply swish and squeeze them in a bucket of old tank water. I usually try to do this every other water change but I’m lazy so it usually ends up being more like once a month.
Anyway, my info-dumping got away from me and this has been super long lol sorry but yeah, there are loads of betta caresheets out there, especially many good ones on tumblr so if you have any other questions or if I totally bungled some explanation of something, let me know!

chapter 5 really left me numb and speechless. nothing prepared me for that, you woke up and decided you'd ruin us all today. but okay hear me out, THE BEAUTY OF RECKLESS. (this is me simping for your cute ass and your god-tier writing skills so i'm sorry if the long message bothers you)
but reckless is so heartwrengchingly beautiful. five chapters in and we already have such strong settings and a stable background of all the characters, minus the mysteries of gojo's past we've yet to discover. if i remember correctly, gojo can't go against his mother because he did something wrong in the past and she's using it against him? the manipulation of the characters to tie people up to what they want struck me so much. usually i only read fanfiction for the smut (which you're also an absolute goddess at writing btw) so reckless wasn't really my cup of tea. but after chapter one, i kept moving to the next, and the next, and now i'm left heartbroken after chapter five. i don't think i've ever read something as painful as this before which says a lot because i'm a SUCKER for angst. suki, the way you write, you never fail to blow me away...
i thought reckless was going to be a happy story and i still hope it is, but after chapter five, i'm super excited to see where you'll take us with this. y/n herself is such a complex, human character that is conflicted by her own feelings and goals. honestly, i thought she was pretty annoying that she doesn't give gojo a chance and locks up immediately like gurl...just let him speak ffs, but i'm not actually mad at her because you made us understand her perspective. y/n came from a family background in which love wasn't really what she felt, rather a sense of obligation to provide so she would find a spot. again, this could just be my analysis and i could be wrong, but the way you wrote and pieced them all together as if they were actual human beings going through every day conflicts made me root for the characters more. i still want them to make more babies and fall in love, but now you've given us so much more to look forward to. this is my first time wishing that y/n gets more than love. i wouldn't say she was abused like gojo was (FUCK MAMA GOJO, FUCK PAPA GOJO, FUCK EVERYONE ELSE) but she has her own internal struggles that as someone who preferred to do things my own way because i'm "independently strong" i could see myself in her. the struggles are the same and i was crying a waterfall before i knew it. OVER A FANFIC! ONLY YOU, SUKI, ONLY YOU.
i don't know how you manage to tug at our emotions so effortlessly as if writing the story is an instant way for our hearts to be swayed and pulled side to side, but you are so good at this. i swear. i've been following you for a while now, watched you grow and i'm really proud of you. i hope you know that. i also wish people would stop being so rude to you, you're like the sweetest person here with how you're so patient and welcoming to everyone :(
okay i'm steering off path, forgive me its like 4am right now and i'm still not over reckless ch5. speaking of, who's gonna clean my pillows stained with tears or tell my cat who saw me crying that it's just a fanfic and i shouldn't be this heartbroken as if i lost a loved one?
and suki, gojo...your portrayal of him is CHEF'S KISS, never seen before, really fucked with my mind type of portrayal. he's so well-written and feels so real. i love how he's a kind hearted person but can't care for y/n the way he wants to because his bitch ass mom is getting in his way. the scene over him going against his mother shaped his personality and my respect for him deepened, though i still wish he didn't have to say all those. i know his intentions were good and its his way of "keeping us and the baby safe" but he made me cry so bad i actually felt chest pains. he knew where to hurt us and the way he lied by saying we seduced him and he'll turn the whole world against us when what he wanted to say is the exact opposite really broke me. i'm starting to think that there's more to everyone now than what you've originally shown which makes everything sm better, can't wait for the next update. 
gojo saying "he can't defeat his mother, but he knows you can. you will."
the trust he has for her and the way he believes in her capabilities, i want me a baby daddy gojo 😩 now after seeing the teaser for chapter 6, my theory is that y/n and gojo are going to be the most powerful, baddest couple. king and queens. i don't think y/n will forgive him that easily so i'm hoping gojo explains his side and she listens (y/n please for the love of god hear the poor man out, he's a victim in all this) so they can communicate better. but honestly? you'll do great. i know whatever you post will be so amazing that we will be, once again, left speechless. reckless is so beautiful and painful yet it makes me root for them more. i can't wait for y/n's revenge arc and to see how she and gojo will take over the world someday.
✨ absolute icon couple ✨
