Untamed Characters by Whether or Not They Should Be Trusted with the Launch Codes

- Wei Wuxian: absofuckinglutely not. he will think he can be trusted but he is equally likely to use the red phone to try and order pizza or get so angry about injustice while so sleep deprived that he decides to nuke the place that fired his friend for bullshit reasons. no.

- Lan Wangji: look you would think that Lan Wangji, Hanguang-jun, pristine righteous jade etc. could be trusted with the launch codes, but you would be wrong. He is one (1) bad meeting with Jiang Wanyin away from starting World War III on any given day.

- Jiang Cheng: under no circumstances and i don’t even need to explain it

- Lan Xichen: 1000/10, would recommend, can absolutely trust him to not launch any nukes and look Very Disappointed at anyone who disagrees with not launching nukes

- Nie Mingjue: N O DDD:

- Jin Guangyao: this one is tricky, because, on the one hand, Jin Guangyao demonstrates concern for civilians, a disinclination towards solving political problems using warfare, and a general distaste for senseless destruction, all of which point in the direction of “can be trusted not to nuke anything.” HOWEVER, given the second burial mounds siege, I think we can all say he gets real stupid when he’s desperate. And if he thought that like. IDK. The Republic of Genovia or smth was behind the plot to ruin his life? A bitch just might be tempted. So like. probably trustworthy, barring extreme extenuating circumstances.

- Jiang Yanli: I’d say she’s about as trustworthy as Jin Guangyao. On the one hand, of course Jiang Yanli wouldn’t nuke anyone! On the other hand. If, say, The Republic of Genovia killed her baby brothers? A bitch just might be tempted.

- Wen Qing: the most trustworthy person on this damn list, tied with Lan Xichen. Takes her hypocratic oath VERY seriously, and a very responsible person who will not let Wei Wuxian anywhere near the red phone.

- Wen Ning: you might be thinking “but Wen Ning is such a good person, so sweet!” and you would be right. Except. If Wen Ning feels you have Wronged His People, he sees red and usually with a high body count (RIP Jiang Cheng’s pride, dignity, sense of self, everything he thought he knew about the world, etc). So it was close but I’m gonna go with a no.

- Wen Ruohan, Wen Chao, Wen Xu: well we saw how that went already, didn’t we folks? That’s gonna be a hard pass for me.

- Nie Huaisang: Yes? Nuking isn’t his style. Like yes he will absolutely pull some CIA coup bullshit on your country, but he’s not going to like. Actually declare war. 

- Lan Sizhui: I would trust Lan Sizhui with my bank account information, my social security number, my credit card number, and my mother’s maiden name. You bet your ass I trust this boy with the launch codes.

- Lan Jingyi: Lan Jingyi would launch a nuke at the moon because he thought it was funny and Jin Ling didn’t believe he would do it. No.

- Jin Ling: Jin Ling would launch a nuke at mars just to show Lan Jingyi that he can nuke something bigger after Lan Jingyi has already nuked the moon. No.

- Ouyang Zizhen: probably fine. he seems more the “cry into a bucket of ice cream” type.

- Xue Yang: some men just want to watch the world burn, and should not be enabled in doing so!

- Xiao Xingchen: NO! He is a walking security breach! He would give the launch codes to Xue Yang without asking for his clearance because Xue Yang asked nicely!

- Song Lan: Probably, seems like a level headed dude.

- A-Jing: Would also try to nuke the moon because that’s funny

- Jin Zixuan: Not competent enough to be given the codes, and no firm stance on the whole “unreasonable violence/extreme acts of war” debate. Gonna go with a no.

- Jin Zixun: oh so you like. you just want to die.

- Luo Qingyang: I’d trust Mianmian with the launch codes.

- Jin Guangshan: yes? wierdly? nuking seems a little too gauche for him. like again. He will absolutely pull some CIA coup bullshit on you or do regular old war. he’d threaten to nuke you to get you to do what he wants. but actually nuking you would get him too much blowback, and he’s much more cautious and image conscious than Wen Ruohan.

- Su She: since he does the whole letting anyone who wants to become a disciple regardless of status thing, I want to say he has enough sympathy to civilians to not nuke anyone, BUT. He’s petty, impulsive, and has terrible judgement. That’s a no for me.

- Lan Qiren: Lan Qiren strikes me as very anti-nuke, but for environmental reasons. Still, anti-nuke is anti-nuke, so I’ll take it. You can trust him.

- Jiang Fengmian and Madam Yu, Sect Leaders Yao and Ouyang: you can trust them about as much as you can trust any of the US presidents from Eisenhower to Obama. So like. Fine, I guess??

- Wang Lingjiao: It’s Jiaojiao’s World and We’re Just Living in It, Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Survey #439

“all the other kids with the pumped up kicks, you better run, better run, outrun my gun”

Have you written a letter to a soldier? No. Ever been in a perfect relationship? I thought so. But no, those don't exist. The last song you listened to? "Broadcasting From Beyond" by Motionless In White. Have you ever wished you could hurt somebody as much as they hurt you? I... have, but I don't wish that at all anymore. Has a dentist ever screwed up on anything when working on you? No. Would you rather be a successful writer or artist? Artist. Who are you in love with? Nobody. Does someone’s view on homosexuality affect how you feel about them in any way? It sure as fuck does. How about someone’s view on religion? Nah. Well, usually. It depends on the beliefs themselves and to what extremity. What is something you wear that others might consider unfashionable? Flipflops, like... year-round, lmao. What kind of pill did you last take? It's called Lamictal, the catalyst for my primary mood stabilizer. Do you like wearing glasses? No. I'd wear contacts if I had the patience and non-shaky hands. What first comes to mind when thinking of 10th grade? Jason. -_- That's the year we started dating. What’s the scariest thing that’s happened to you? A traumatic breakup. Has an ambulance ever came to your house? Yes, for my mother. The person you’re thinking about - what are you thinking about them? Well, because you mentioned him, I'm thinking about Jason and just how I fucked shit up 'n stuff. How many different cars have you driven? Uhhhh I want to say two? But maybe just one? Was the last person you hung out with single? I guess that would be my mom, in which case yes. Have you ever attended a private school? My last college was a private school, yes. Have you ever been in an abusive relationship? No, and for that I am incredibly grateful. Have you ever cooked for anyone other than yourself? Yeah. I've made scrambled eggs for my family before as breakfast, and I did the same for Sara, too. Would you rather live in the city, the suburbs, or the rural area? Ugh, take me back to the middle of nowhere, please. :/ Do you know someone who is really ambidextrous? Sara! Are you adopted? No. Who was the last person that cried in your presence? Probably one of my nieces or nephew. Can you write your name in a foreign language? Uh, I think? In the German alphabet, "y" isn't actually a letter, and my name is Brittany, so I'm not entirely sure if it would be spelled that same way or not, but I think so. Who is the person you often go to for venting? My mom. Was the last person you kissed male or female? Female. Do you say “I love you” even when you don’t mean it? No. That shit can scar people (aka me) so goddamn deep when they don't mean it anymore. What’s the one thing you regret more than anything? Things I wrote to Jason in letters after the breakup. I would literally give a limb (no, I'm not exaggerating) to take it back. There are times I actually do wonder if we would've gotten back together if I wasn't just... a bitter and ridiculously hurt fuck that took it all out on him. Do you like vanilla? Yes. Do you own a bean bag chair? No. I actually do want one for my extra room/"office," though, to read on. Have you kissed any friends on your Facebook? Yeah. Do you get snow where you live? Occasionally, but it's very rarely a lot. What’s your favorite flavor of Doritos? Cool Ranch. Do you ever worry about what the world will be like when you have kids? Good thing I ain't havin' 'em.

MHMMMMMMMMMMMMM. If you suddenly went deaf, what would be your most missed sound? Music. Would you rather have a poodle or a Rottweiler? If I actually wanted a dog, a Rottweiler. Which hurts the most, physical or emotional pain? Emotional, for sure. Would you rather visit a zoo or an art museum? Zoo. Would you ever consider getting back together with any of your exes? I know damn well I'd say yes to Jason in a heartbeat. Literally before even getting to know the current him. That's how emotionally attached I am to him, even with the trauma. I'd get back together with Sara if/when we both are more stable emotionally and with clear direction, which is mostly on my end now. I also don't think I'd be ready until one of us is able to move for the other. Is there a certain quote you live by? No. Do you have any tattoos? I have some, but not nearly enough. :( Are you friends with the last person you kissed? She's my bestie! :') Green or purple grapes? I don't really have much of a preference, so long as they're crisp. What is your ringtone? Just something that came with the phone. If someone gave you $1,000 to burn a butterfly over a candle, would you? Fuck no. What is something you wish you had more of? Adventure, for one. Have you ever trusted someone too much? JASON. HOLY FUCK. It was FACT to me that we would, could, never break up. It just... wasn't possible in my head. It was like breaking the laws of the world. When he told me he loved me and would never leave, I believed that shit as if it was God himself promising that. I've never and will never trust someone like that ever again, because it wasn't healthy in the slightest. Do you sleep with your window open? Noooo, that would freak me out. Have you ever kissed anyone with a lip ring? Yeah; Tyler had snakebites. Did you go to high school with your current best friend? No; we live in different states. Whose was the last funeral you attended? Ummm I'm actually not sure. Do you avoid using public restrooms? Yes. Do you like eggnog? Nooooo. Who is the person you dislike the most? It's so fucking stupid... I know it is STILL the girl Jason dated after me. I don't even think they're together anymore, so why the fuck does it matter? I know NOTHING about this poor girl that just found someone she really liked and got dumped FOR THE SAME REASON AS ME. It shouldn't fucking matter, at all, but it still does in my head. Do you take part in paying the bills for your household? No, because I don't have an income. What is your favourite way to eat rice? As pork fried rice. What is the longest relationship you’ve ever been in? Over 3 1/2 years with Jason. Do you currently have any alarms set? No. How many cars can fit in your driveway? Barely even two. What was the first television show you were obsessed with? Pokemon. Do you eat chili when you get a hotdog, or do you like it plain? I don't like chili.

No. Has anyone ever taken your own clothes off you before? Yes. Is there someone you want to kiss right now? Probably always will. -_- Have you ever had a real tea party? Or been to one?

Only playfully. Did you kiss the last person you really wanted to kiss? Yes. Would you ever go to a protest or be involved in a protest? So long as it was peaceful, yes.

No. Is it true that if you don’t love yourself, you can’t love another? Absofuckinglutely not. I'm proof of that. That idea is such bullshit. Do you share a bed with anyone? Just my cat. Who is one very unique celebrity/musician/whatever that you love? MARKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK. Could you handle babysitting two small children at once, such as two children under three years old? OH FUCK NO. Would you say that people consider you a major flirt? Definitely not. Do any of your friends have children? Yes. Would you rather cry in public or make someone else cry in public? I would FAR rather cry myself. I would feel so, so bad for making someone else cry, not even just in public. Would you rather re-live today forever or not live? Not live. Would you rather be just rich or rich and famous? Just rich. Who was the last person of the opposite sex to be in your bedroom? My nephew, I believe. He and Aubree wanted to see the snake. What’s your favourite kind of Cap’N Crunch? The "All Berries" one. What is your favourite Pepsi product? Mountain Dew. Is the computer you’re using yours? Yes. Do you get upset when a dog jumps on you? Not at all. I got used to that, and besides, it's cute to see them so excited. Is there a video or computer game that you can get lost in for hours? World of Warcraft, sometimes. I usually play it daily, but there are some days where I just am not interested in it. What do you like on your pizza? Meats and/or jalapenos. Do you get breadsticks with your pizza? Mom usually gets 'em, yeah. Did you ever have a waterbed? Yeah. Not one anyone slept on regularly, but just like, a plastic one or whatever the material was to sleep in if someone was staying over. What toy from your childhood do you miss? I wish I didn't get rid of my big crocodile toy that I was obsessed with. :'( He was like the main character in the world I made up for him and his family. Have you ever been to a rock concert? Yeah. \m/ What is your religion? None. Do you like listening to love songs? Meh, I have to be in the mood, plus it depends on the song. A lot of them trigger me. What is one meal that you like to eat while sick? I'm nervous to eat when I'm sick, so I mostly just have saltine crackers and ginger ale. Have you ever fed bread to ducks or geese? Yeah, when I was a kid and didn't know it was bad for them and the water. I never would now. The name of the last board game that you played? I think it was "Sorry!" with the kids. Has anyone ever commented on your weight? I mean, doctors, but not in a judgmental, belittling way. Just in a way that expressed concern for my health. Have you ever thought about joining the military? NOOOOOOOOOO. Have you ever felt like you were going out of your mind? Yes. And I don't mean that as an exaggeration; I believe I've literally qualified as insane at a point after the breakup. I was so fucking delusional and desperate and just going in circles. Are you ever jealous of happy couples? Meh, sometimes. Lately, who has spent the most time on your mind? Take a guess. .-. It's been pretty bad lately. Do you ever feel like someone would be disappointed to see your body or are you comfortable with your body enough where you don’t think that? I have a HORRIBLE body image. My body fucking disgusts me. I don't even like my mother seeing me get changed or anything like that. I don't want ANYBODY seeing me naked. What is your favorite flavor of Monster? I don't like any that I've ever had a sip of. Have you ever ran from the police? No. That never goes well. Do you have any trophies? Yeah. Do you like screamo music? No. What does your wallet look like? It's a checkered Harley Quinn one. Is there something nobody knows about you (and what)? Yes. Why would I share that if I don't want anyone to know? Does your family have a secret? No. Do you do anything to help the environment? We recycle. Mom also cuts up those plastic things that come with soda bottles packed together, as well as some other plastic wrappings. We are both disgusted by people who litter, so we avoid that. I also try to conserve water where I can, like by turning the sink off when I brush my teeth. There are other little things, but I wish I did even more. Do you like to take pictures of yourself? FUCK NO. It is so rare I do that nowadays. When/where are you most likely to sing? The car. Would you ever wish to explore a cave? OH MY GOD, PLEEEEEAAAAASE <3 What is the most illegal thing you’ve done? Pirated an expensive editing software, oops. :x Have you ever seen somebody get shot? LKJ;ALSDJFA;JWELKRJLW;Q NOOOOOOOOO.

Dead Heat Ch. 5

Pairing: Yoongi x reader

Genre: Arranged Marriage/Mafia AU

Summary: Three extremely powerful families with enough power to bring down entire governments, all with vastly different views on how things should be run. The Min family thinks everything can be solved with money, the Jeon family think everything can be solved with violence, and the Kim family relies more on thought which leads to a lack of action. When Kim Y/N loses her father, she only has one way to save herself and her family. But it involves having to give herself over to a stranger. How the hell is she not supposed to punch him in his stupid rich face?

Dead Heat Masterlist

Warnings: Language, Alcohol, Awkwardness

A/N: Sorry it took so long, but I’m back in the country and ready to write! Be prepared for more of the guys to make appearances in this chapter. Please enjoy these wonderful words I’ve so carelessly thrown onto this site.

Chapter 5: Never Have I Ever

***Jimin’s POV*** Jimin finished the drink in his hand before grabbing another from the closest bartender. He wasn’t really keen on spending the night sober. Not when he had to look over at you sitting at the front table with Yoongi. He was losing you, and in more ways than one. It was only a matter of time, so why not take advantage of all the free alcohol? Maybe Jimin could just forget that entire night and rid himself of the situation he found himself in.

He knew he had definitely succeeded in one aspect when he woke up laying face down the next morning feeling like shit. He let out a large groan and buried his face deeper into the sheets that he then realized were not his own. They were too soft and warm. He groggily raised just his head trying to get a grasp in his surroundings. The room seemed a bit familiar until he lost the strength to place it in his mind. His head fell back down as he submitted to become one with the mattress. “Jimin!” Someone shouted outside the door to the bedroom. Almost imediately the door was swung open as someone bursted inside.

“Bro we gotta go, come on.” He then knew where he was.

Jimin sighed deeply into the sheets before looking up to see an impatient Taehyung.

“The others are downstairs. An important meeting or something. Let’s go, put on some clothes.” Jimin lazily rolled his body out of the bed and was greeted with a throbbing headache. He should’ve taken it easier last night. When he left the room with Taehyung, he was still confused as to what was happening at the moment. “What the hell Tae? Why am I here?” Jimin asked. “No idea, but everyone’s back. I figure we’re about to find out.” When they reached their destination, they found several familiar faces gathered around the table. “Hey there sleepy head!” A loud voice chimed from the table, ringing through Jimin’s head. “Ugh, Hobie it’s too early for that volume.” Jimin responded to the cheery friend. “Yah! I’m the one who had to drag your drunk ass out of that party last night. Let me do as I please!” He complained right back at him. Jimin just groans and throws himself into a chair next to Taehyung. Tae was about to say something to Jimin when another person entered the room, causing everyone to look up. Once he noticed that he had the complete attention of the room, he got straight to the point without a greeting to anyone. “Due to my father’s current state, I’ll be taking over duties for the time being. Starting today we’ve pulled everyone back from their assignment. Min has been gathering too much information from us lately. As it turns out, he has as many spies as we do. You will all be confined to the house for a short while until we figure out what they have on us. Don’t contact anyone outside of here. Any questions?” “What about the fact that Kim’s daughter is a Min now? Are we gonna do anything about that?” Taehyung asked, causing Jimin to listen a bit more closely. “We’ll deal with that when we’re better able to gauge the situation.” The thought of “dealing with you” ran through Jimin’s mind but he immediately buried it deep down. He never thought that it would ever have to happen, and secretly hoped that he wouldn’t have to be the one to do it. But by burying the thought, Jimin came to a sudden realization. “Kook, how much do we think they know?” Jimin asked, noticeably more worried than everyone else. “We’re not sure yet, but they have enough.” Shit. He had come to terms with the fact that one day you would find out, but damn he felt worse than he thought he would. That’s what he got for spending so much time with you instead of the guys. Maybe the time he had to spend confined with them would remind him why he’s here. But right then he felt like… well… shit.

***Y/N’s POV***

You have been spending quite a bit more time with Yoongi. It’s not like you’ve been spending every second with him, he is busy very frequently. But in the evenings you eat meals together and drink tea while sharing stories. And honestly, it’s a good distraction from everything to get to know him.

It’s been so long since you’ve met someone new. You haven’t really had to get to know anyone new since you were a kid. Then again, you’re not really close with anyone right now as it is. Maybe Yoongi is the person you know most about in your life. What a strange idea… You find Yoongi very different but also very similar to yourself. You were both made from the same mafia boss archetype complete with tragic backstories, but it went even beyond that. Your conversations were pleasant because he had the same sarcastic banter abilities as you. You think you two could’ve been friends in a different situation. You two have a pretty good bonding routine until one day Yoongi doesn’t eat with you. You find yourself feeling sad that he’s not there, but blame it on the lonliness of being stuck inside all the time. But that lie you tell yourself doesn’t stop you from waiting up for him. From your regular tea spot, you hear him come home around 10. You peak towards the front door only to see how much he looks like shit. You have the urge to tell him so, since it would be amusing to see his annoyance, but instead you offer him tea.

That’s out of character, you shouldn’t get used to being soft on him. But you don’t really know where you stand with him. You two are starting to get close, but you keep associating him with the shit you discovered in his office. You need to pull yourself together. He doesn’t respond to your tea offer and instead drops his stuff and head straight into the kitchen. There he rummages through cabinets and pulls out some liquor. “Wow, that kind of day huh?” You ask. “Yeah. I just… do you want some?” He offers. “Absofuckinglutely.”

You two attempt to have a normal night after that, only the tea is replaced with alcohol. You find out that damn, Yoongi can drink. He’s an unhealthy number of drinks in and has become a whole new person. He’s like a child, animated, easily distracted, and a little bit paranoid.

You aren’t doing very well either being that you can’t seem to form complete sentences. You two had definitely lost it, especially when you started playing Never Have I Ever. How classy of you. “Bullshhhhiiiit!” You screech. “There’s no way you have never experienced that in your life!” “I enjoy taking things in life slower.” He defends. “Gaaaah but it feels soooo good! "Listen I’m just not into that sort of shit.” “…It’s not some weird kink, it’s just roller coasters.” “Yes but I don’t enjoy the idea of being hurdled through the air so exposed like that.” “It’s so FREEING though!!!” You attempt to push your feelings about roller coasters onto him, but your power doesn’t seem to work on him. He just sits there and stares at you until you give up. “Fine, then. Never have i ever married someone against their will.” It’s a low blow, and you realize how low when Yoongi’s face sinks. He sighs and downs the rest of his drink. There’s a moment of awkward silence before he gives you a serious glare.

“Fucking drink, Y/N.” Now you felt bad. You knew that he probably hadn’t planned for this to happen either, but you said it without thinking. You take your last sip and look back towards Yoongi.

“I’m- ”

“You should probably go to bed.” He says without looking at you. You can’t tell if he’s angry at you. All you know is that Yoongi might be the only one you have for a while so you can’t afford to be on bad terms with him. When he stands from the couch you desperately stand as well.

“Wait! I didn’t… I’m sorry. I know you didn’t want this either, I’m just…”

“Drunk.” He finishes the sentence for you.

“Yeah. I… I think I want to be friends with you, so please don’t let my harsh drunk personality make you hate me.”

“You think? What does that mean?” It’s then when you realize how close you’ve been standing to him. You’re practically toe to toe. If you were sober you’d probably back off a bit, but drunk you is a bit too worried about other things.

“I’m… not really sure.”

There’s a long moment as Yoongi’s face relaxes and you two separately ponder your relationship. You find yourself still lost in thought when Yoongi lowers his head for a breathy laugh. He looks back up to you, places a hand on the side of your face, and stares at you for a moment.

You internally panic since drunk you is not equipped to deal with something regrettable happening right now. You literally hold your breath.

“Go to bed.” He says as he lets you go. “You’re gonna feel like shit in the morning.” He begins to walk away, leaving you dazed. Eventually you catch yourself and call after him.

“I’ll bet you’ll feel worse, you drank like twice as much!” He laughs at this and turns away, heading to his room before calling back to you in a mocking voice.

“Goodnight wife!” This man was testing your patience.

A/N: The boys all have a role to play in this story so stay tuned. I start a new job this weekend that involves managing children so we’ll see how my update timeline turns out. Once again, I appreciate your lovely selves. :)

[aduck8myshoes]

So, Rise of Skywalker initial thoughts:

1. FUCK THE STUPID SHEEV CLONE BULLSHIT ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THATS THE BEST YOU COULD DO??? STEALING A DUMB IDEA FROM OLD EU AND MAKING IT WORSE SOMEHOW?????

2. Rey Palpatine would have been dumb as fuck even without bringing Palps back and was some of the laziest ass-pull writing I have seen in a very long time. Rey Nobody was fine. I liked Rey Nobody. She was cool.

3. The 5 minutes of Ben Solo we got were the best 5 minutes of this trilogy hands down. He has always been his dad's son and if the rest of the trilogy had bothered to explore that I think we all would have had a much better time. This trilogy lacked heart, and every second Ben Solo was on screen had that heart that made it feel like Star Wars.

4. The second movie should have been 50% Finn and Poe doing resistance things and being way too married like they were in the first part of this movie

5. Was the dyad thing executed poorly and explored way too late? Yes. Did I fucking love the concept and wish we had an entire movie about the two of them learning to deal with it and push/pulling each other into balance before teaming up to take down the big bad? Absofuckinglutely. Fanfic writers get on that shit I will pay real money.

6. The pacing in this movie needed fucking horse tranquilizer holy shit what even was that. GIVE YOUR ACTORS ROOM TO ACT!!!!

7. Hux being a petty bitch was amazing and I could have used like 20 more minutes just spent on the power struggle between him and the old guard ex-imperial guy.

8. This movie was like 3 movies in a badly edited digest version. So many of these story elements could have been really interesting if given room to breath and be developed by the actors (like the above Hux stuff). If given the time to build it properly I may have even been able to come to terms with the Palpatine shit

9. Hahahahahahahaha just kidding that entire idea can burn in hell. The end of Palpatine and the Sith was Anakin and Luke's story and it should have stayed that way. I will never forgive them for disrespecting my boys and their amazing legacy like that. And that's on both JJ and Rian. Let the past die you two fuckwads.

10. The wayfinders was a gigantic waste of time that could have been spent on actual story and character moments

11. Jannah was a cool addition to the story and had they remembered that Finn was supposed to be a main character a movie and a half ago they could have done something awesome with the two of them and starting a trooper rebellion.

12. Zorii was there to make Poe straight. her character had no point.

13. I thought the inclusion of Carrie was done tastefully and respectfully. I could have done without her force sacrificing herself to send a message just like Luke, but I get why they did it that way. I miss you.

14. I could almost deal with OP af Rey if it wasn't for the Palpatine shit. Imagine a plot where Rey's powers start going crazy and she feels alone and scared again and doesnt understand what is happening and thinks she is falling but she doesnt tell Leia because she doesnt want to disappoint her and so the only person she can turn to is the person on the other side of the bond who just so happens to be also struggling with his place in the force. SEE HOW EASY THAT WAS DISNEY??? I just started typing this point and pulled that out of my ass and it shows a cool new thing about the force WITHOUT RESORTING TO SHEEV CLONES

Some real talk about Sciles/Stydia/Sterek and the shitshow that is Teen Wolf

Thoughts on Teen Wolf (Scott/Stiles brotp/Stydia/Sterek) after reading a lot of vitriolic and just plain sad TW posts, from ALL ship bases and fans:

For one, I never hated Scott nor wished he’d die or anything, even though I don’t particularly “like” him. That’s because of how’s he’s been written. My issue with him is NOT that he’s imperfect (because he is), in fact, that’s one of the things I LOVE about Scott. He can (and always has been able to) be an utter asshole, and that makes him normal. No one is all good or all bad. Unfortunately, showrunners typically think that way. And partially because of that (I believe), Scott is written as this happy go lucky, gullible, perky puppy dog who loves everyone and has a messiah complex. But that’s not true. He is not the best friend in the whole wide world, although that doesn’t necessarily make him a “bad” friend. He can be both a bad and good friend because he can be both a bad person and a good person. He is not infallible or perfect, as we would be led to believe. Watching all of the seasons over again really cleared my head on this and reminded me why I had begun to build up some animosity toward the character, which surprised me. I began to get really fed up with him and liked it when Stiles and he butted heads because I thought Scott was acting like a total idiot and, yes, a shitty friend. The answer was simply that he’d always had the capacity to be that way, even back in season 1. He was the stereotypical dorky teenage boy who got lucky with a pretty girl and began to think he was hot shit, certainly better than his friend because he was succeeding at having what he called a “normal life.” He didn’t really “need” Stiles at that point, and he just used Derek over and over. It happens to the best of us. To be fair, Stiles was written to type as well as the dorky best friend who’s pining over the girl he can’t have. The difference for me is that Stiles has had Scott’s back more often then visa versa.

So for me, my agitation with Scott stems partially from the writers inability to allow Scott to own up and make some real changes. Think about this, in the final 6a scene, it’s Stiles who’s directing the “I need you” “I miss you” conversation. Scott doesn’t have a lot of self-reflection or heartfelt epiphanies as much as you think he would. His mostly deal with his status as an alpha and the responsibilities that that entails.

Another part of it, again not really the character’s fault, is how his status as a POC is used. I think it’s great that he’s a POC, but I also feel that the showrunners use that as a cop out. It almost lets them feel entitled to shit on other POC characters because they can still point to Scott and say “Look, our main character’s a POC, we’re so modern.” Honestly, Scott could totally be white and it wouldn’t affect his story, that’s how little a role his heritage plays, so the fact that he’s a POC to me just seems like Jeff Davis and company patting themselves on the back for being inclusive. I mean, let’s be honest, his acting ability in season 1 was embarrassing, so I’m a little cynical as to why they chose him. The shitty way they’ve written his character just rubs salt into the wound.

On Stydia:

First, to be fair, I’ll throw it out there that I’m not a Stydia shipper, but that’s not because I don’t like them together or because I ship Stalia or because I thought something crazy like he was secretly with Derek in canon (although I do ship Sterek). I’ll touch on Malia, but I honestly ship Scalia, so there.

I love them in a close friendship (kind of like the one he was establishing with Derek before it all went to hell). I thought it would be SO MUCH more meaningful and have much more of an impact if they remained friends. Why? Because it would have been playing AGAINST TYPE, something TW showrunners can’t seem to grasp. So Stiles was the stereotypical dorky best friend who pined and borderline stalked the hot girl and eventually “won” her affections. Is it a cute love story? Sure. Does it make me want to stab my eyeballs out with how cliché it is? Absofuckinglutely. Do I think it reduces both of their characters to the single purpose of satisfying an artificial and set in stone “ship”? YES. I say artificial because they’re fulfilling the roles that have been laid out for them since EPISODE 1. What is exciting, cute, sweet, or even remotely celebratory about that? And so all close male/female friendships have to end in them dating? Come on people, we’ve been fed trope after trope after trope, starting with the teenagers falling in love at first sight aka Scallison. Not hating on Scallison by any means, just how they got pushed together like wham bam thank you ma'am; although, yes, teenagers do fall in love easily so I can at least understand it even if I don’t like it. Allison falling in love with Isaac and him learning to trust her, someone who had tried to kill him, after everything he went through? Now that was something special. It was sad that it never had the chance to go anywhere.

I’ll never get over how they really just slammed Stydia in everyone’s faces with 6a. What was it really about other than to force Lydia into accepting her feelings? …Nothing. Literally nothing happened that changed anything from premiere to finale. Except for Mama McCall and Papa Argent getting their smooch on. Which I’m down for. I didn’t buy into her and the Sheriff, partially because it would have been so obvious and I think a little too campy and saccharine. So 6a just accomplished the “full circle” plotline of Stydia, in all its romantically forced and melodramatic glory. Again, I like them together, and I think her devestation felt real and it was sweet. But they really just slammed the romance aspect together like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. With STALE peanut butter and jelly. As in Lydia didn’t really give an inkling of romantic feelings beyond a few shared glances throughout the seasons and both she and Stiles were busy with other people. A Stiles and Erica relationship was baited right before the actress left, and then we were baited with Cora, who Stiles seemed interested in, and then of course we had the underage Stalia sex in the basement of a mental institution AKA one of the few black marks on an otherwise good season. And then he drops her and what, we’re supposed to pretend like they weren’t a thing for 2 whole seasons? O.K. Once again, we have another character introduced to serve very few purposes with no real plot herself, and that’s mostly to be a girlfriend to Stiles and Peter’s reason for self-improvement. What other purpose has she served? But yeah, we’re supposed to forget her because Stydia is a thing that must happen and it’s the last season. Jeff Davis pretty much said about a lot of season 6 plot lines and decisions, “It’s the last season, so we thought ‘Why not? Let’s do it.’” That is so unbelievably shitty and unfair to characters and their actors. Like, have some self-respect. THAT is why a lot of fans think Stydia is fanservice. Because of the showrunners attitude that they’ll just throw it all against the wall, give “everyone” the happy ending they always wanted because Teen Wolf is ending. Davis said he always wrote every season as if it was the last before they knew it would end with 6. HELLO. Stiles and Lydia don’t get together until 6a. That means if the show had been cancelled like Davis suspected it might, Stydia wouldn’t have been endgame after all.

As for Sterek, it’s my otp but not because I think they were romantic on the show. They weren’t that we know of. I just like them as a pairing, always have, and always will. Some of you spout that’s it’s gross because of the age difference, so obviously that means you’re not OK with all of the baiting they did with Lydia and Parrish? And you have a problem watching underage characters having sex on screen and constantly seeing minors being sexualized? Right? You have to if you think Sterek fans are disgusting. So I don’t put too much thought into the like 6 or 7 year age difference because when Stiles is 18 Derek would only be maybe 25. Hell, I’m 23 and I can tell you a few years means shit, especially this particular period of your life. Derek is still pretty much a kid. Not that I’m going to get into the age difference debate and the sexualization of Sterek. I don’t write, nor do I read fanfiction featuring a sexual canon Sterek relationship; if I do at all, it’s in AUs.

I do think there was more Sterek content in 3b and 4, despite them being apart, but what troubles me is how they pretty much did it on purpose to upset Sterek fans. Dylan and Tyler loved working together, they said as much, and they commented on not having as many scenes together. Meanwhile you have certain people making derogatory public comments and putting the ship and it’s fans down. Of course the fan base is going to be hurt by that, why wouldn’t they if they feel like they’ve been disrespected by the very people their viewership supports? And then they watch their two beloved characters have less and less screen time together and it feels very deliberate. Obviously Jeff Davis and company felt the need to send a message that Sterek was not going to happen, which is fine, but they did so at the expense of a very funny and interesting relationship–something that has hurt the show, no matter how much you dislike or disagree with Sterek as a “ship.” Stiles and Derek could have been real friends, something they were working toward; anyone remember Stiles being the one to show up in Derek’s semi-lucid dream state when Kate shot him? Some point out that could mean Stiles is an anchor-like figure for Derek, or that at the least he is someone Derek feels comfortable around to imagine him there at a time when he is hurt and needing reassurance and advice. And that emphasis on Stiles when Derek left in 4 and the touchy subject of his absence in 5a? Yeah, Stiles had begun to like Derek, and the show did a fair amount of queer baiting–not just for Sterek but a lot of other pairings. But that relationship was severed mostly because A. the showrunners were determined to make any ship other than Sterek exist B. they separated them a lot from seasons 1 and 2 to reduce the Sterek support and C. Tyler eventually decided to leave for his own personal reasons (the show wasn’t kind to his character for sure). After that we saw the slow decline of Stalia and the continued crawl of Stydia scenes, meanwhile having the brand new ship of Larrish being dropped on us out of the freaking blue.

The showrunners didn’t really want to commit to going all in with Stydia before the absolute last season. That’s gotta mean something to Stydia shippers. I don’t understand how you guys can gloss over that and ignore how it affects the integrity of the characters. Would I rather see Stydia than Stalia? Yes and no, but only because I acknowledge that Stalia was a crack pairing to begin with and it made no sense storyline wise. Stydia still feels rushed in 6a after a slow burn that could have just meant a strong friendship. And now we have these revelations such as Lydia admitting that everything changed when she first kissed Stiles. O.K. then, now why don’t we get an explanation as to why that’s just now a thing for her when the kiss took place back in freaking 3a, in a scene that was unrealistic to begin with? I understand the excitement of seeing your otp come true, but the lack of romance until the crazy plot of 6a harms the integrity of everything.

They should have made Stydia a thing before 6a instead of saying “What the hell, why not?” Believe it or not, Sterek shippers might actually be pissed if they’d done that to Stiles and Derek. Can you imagine? Having Derek come swooping in at the last season and have Stiles suddenly realize his romantic feelings for him? The fan base would be in an UPROAR for the lack of development and rightly so. Is Stydia more believable? Of course. Has Derek been absent since 5? Obviously. So they had no chance to develop any relationship at all, friendship or otherwise. Stydia makes more sense because they’ve had more time to become friends and have been pushed together, in part as a response to Sterek as an insistence that Stiles and Lydia would always be important to each other and would definitely get together. Meanwhile, characters like Malia are getting used like a rag doll, taking up space as Stiles girlfriend when it’s convenient, and tossed back aside to make way for Lydia once Davis and company feel good and damned ready to make Stydia a thing.

At the end of the day, the biggest reason I don’t want Stydia to be a thing is because their relationship matters more when they’re not doing the thing you expect. It’s much more mature for Stiles to say, “You know what? I always had this childish notion that we’d be together because it was fate, but I realize now that we’re too good of friends for this to be the right decision. I value your friendship more than the desire to fulfill my immature ambition of winning you.” The romantic subplot that never came to fruition between Rachel Green and Joey from Friends come to mind. They realized it didn’t feel right because they were too close, their friendship too strong. They made an adult decision not to pursue it further.

But no. We don’t get that kind of growth. We get the same old regurgitated same old, and that’s why I won’t really miss TW when it’s gone because let’s face it, the real show’s been gone for a while now.

Jeff Davis and company kind of gave up a long time ago for various reasons, but unfortunately by then the oldest fans, making up the loyal fan base, were hooked and still came back for more torture. The fact that we’re less than a month out, have only just been told that, and still don’t have a trailer, makes me livid in ways I can’t describe. MTV/TW showrunners have really shown their disdain for their own characters and their fans for the sake of going out with a bang, and it’s utterly disgusting.

Rant over.
