Edward leaving in new moon is such a shit thing to do.
I don't like him nor bella nor them together, but that was what they choose.
Bella knew the risk and wanted to be with him. He knew too. After one attack of his brother he got scared, but it was always that. Dangerous. Tempting natural behavioral.
You are either a danger or not, and if you are, why go to school or be around people. Because you are selfish. Because you want to experience something you are not a part of anymore, and you don't care as much about other people's well being as you are about your own comfort and pleasures. It's not to hold onto any humanity they had, because they stopped caring about people a long time ago and they definitely don't respect humans.
I digress. Edward leaves for Bella's well being. Actually destroying her well being (yada yada therapy was needed all along, but it does not seem to exist because bella ain't like that! (Who is? Who's meant for therapy or who fits therapy? you go because it's needed not for funsies) point is she's fragile and this broke her).
He makes decisions for her all the time, or forces her to follow his. And this is the biggest one. He isn't honest to her, he lies and crushes her and leaves her, and moves and breaks all contact with her, including with the rest of the family (side eyeing Alice here for being a shit friends, honestly, if it were me I'd never be closer to her again after she came back).
It's for his own guilty mind. Was he really thinking of her? Because he admits he would've gone back (and uproot her life again). He is selfish. He doesn't communicate and there aren't mutual decisions and this relationship isn't equal.
And she took him back, within a second. Because she's afraid to lose him again.
It's so unhealthy. And that's okay for a book, but in real life, you'd worry your love would leave your again everyday and you'd pay attention to little things if they're a sign and you can never relax or trust fully. You change your behavior to make them pleased enough they'll stay.
It's sickening if I think about it. I wanted this to be short. But Edward is so infuriating that everything he does is just so wrong. Because yes he's a vampire and at any level could be wrong. But his worst decisions aren't vampire based, it's his arrogance and selfishness and self-importance that causes all this pain.
Fuck you Edward! Go mope in a cave and stop bothering everyone with your shit.

Rory x Erica x Reader Headcanons
Fandom: My babysitter's a vampire
Request: "I read your poly! bethan hcs and I wanted to request poly benny x rory x reader or rory x reader x erica if possible!! whichever one you feel more comfortable with :)"
Genre: Fluff
Warnings: implications of a toxic relationship in the beginning but it's not bad, I swear!
A/n: headcanons are weird to me cause I just end up writting a short story anyways. Might make another part to talk more about the relationship itself
~~~
Your relationship definitely started on a…rough patch
You and Rory got together first. It happened very naturally, as he couldn’t really hide his affections from you (not that this mattered at all to him) and you found him more and more endearing and adorable with every passing day
You and Erica got together almost 8 months later. She realised her feelings for you during a school dance and made it her mission to steal you away.
Rory was actually excited for you, funnily enough! Of course both of you acknowledged how hot Erica was and he thought it was so cool that his girlfriend was approached by someone like her (gave him a new sense of confidence too). He was the one who encouraged you to reply to Erica’s advancements, assuring you he was totally fine with it!
It took Erica a long time to agree to “sharing” you with Rory. She tried time and time again to have you change your mind, but you stood your ground firmly, explaining that you loved him with all your heart, so she could either accept the terms or move on
A lot of disagreements in the beginning over Erica’s possessiveness, but things got even worse when she started catching feelings for Rory as well
All of a sudden, she’s picking fights over everything! Rory’s name can’t even be uttered in conversation without some sort of volcanic reaction. She often feels guilty about these moments, but she finds it really hard to navigate her new found affection for somebody she used to see as such a weirdo. Now she can barely suppress a smile when he offers to pay for her coffee as well while out or pretend to be annoyed when he’s oversharing about his special interests
You figure it out for her. The realization hits you all at once one day, during another argument in which Erica tried to convince you to ditch your plans with your boyfriend and stay with her! It almost makes you laugh at how simple this whole thing could’ve been solved
You told Rory everything (with Erica’s consent of course) and he was over the moon. He was pacing around the room, giggling like a little kid, hugging you, twirling you, posing and making all sorts of funny remarks about how much of a ladies man he is before he finally picked up the phone, called Erica, and asked her on a proper date
Things calmed down a lot after that. Arguing halted at once, even though it still took all of you a little bit to get accustomed to this new dynamic.
You and Rory tried to make Erica as comfortable as possible. She’s very insecure and concerned with maintaining her image in front of the school and her feelings felt very conflicting at first, but soon, she learned to get over her fears. On your first date together as a throuple, as she looked at the two of you sharing a menu across the table from her, she knew she loved you more than she loved being popular, whatever that meant
Rory loves boasting about his two beautiful girls. Takes every occasion to rub it in Etahn and Benny’s noses, which definitely makes for an entertaining scene
Erica finds it exciting to rediscover and explore some of the more geeky subjects that she used to be passionate about before. You encourage her a lot and she eventually learns to have a fun time exchanging theories and information with Rory about whatever topic.
You always keep extra sunglasses and sun protection in your bag for them, in case one of them forgets (it’s always Rory, and Erica always teases him for it but it’s okay, cause even if he’s forgetfulness would have enraged her in the past, now she’s just grown to accept it as another trait of her lover’s, whom she loves very much)

Weird John confession I guess but John started being a whole lot more likeable to me as soon as I found out he was whumpable lmaoo but srsly if he’d had a proper spotlight moment after he’d warmed to jack and Abigail where he was vulnerable again (thinking colter) then I reckon a lot more people would like him.
Like I know they were trying to keep in theme with hyper masculine cowboys and give a reason as to why Arthur is never mentioned in rdr1 but if John had been given one opportunity to visibly mourn Arthur in the epilogue and maybe cry of turn to Abigail a little more? Instant win now the fandom loves him
John was actually supposed to cry on at least two points. I wrote a meta calling out Rockstar for it. Rob, his voice actor, said it would be in character for John to cry, but the creative directors said they didn't think it was necessary. I'm glad the journal was there to soften him a bit. It's annoying because John is PLENTY soft enough in rdr 1 even without the journal. I mean it. He even sheds a few tears after dealing with Javier and again in a really dark mission in Mexico. So he did so TWICE in his own game and yet Rock Star said Rob couldn't do it here? For a brother he grew up with and who had just saved him and his entire family's lives? I call B.S. I have legitimately wondered if Rock Star purposely sabotaged John for people to like Arthur more. I'm not joking. I think there could be some evidence to that. I could write an "argument" (as in a theory) for it. Also, John is supposed to be like the Clint Eastwood type of Cowboy but still having the heart of a family man. We're not supposed to know exactly what they for sure think, but they still managed to convey John's emotions well. I think it was some writer toxic masculinity and I know some people are going to think I'm crazy because Charles and Arthur doesn't display that. However, writers can write some characters as perfectly fine and still decide through their own reasoning that doing something soft "isn't right". I understand creative decisions, but this isn't one I agree with. John is very sweet with Abigail in RDR 1 as well. Definitely openly affectionate. Full stop. He is also just as affectionate with Jack. He is in the epilogue as well, but not until towards the end of the epilogue Yes, there is the argument that trauma causes people to mourn in different ways. Agreed. I've written about it on this blog. Yes, John has matured as a character, totally agree. But I truly believe they didn't want characters to like John the same way John was beloved in rdr 1. People underestimate how adored John was. People viewed John as they view Arthur now. I'm not kidding. Take it from someone who was there. Meta Post here.

modern au hcs.
: ̗̀➛ ft. scaramouche x reader
_________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐
he has a ton of piercings. he wears a bunch of earrings and occasionally a lip ring. (he may or may not have gotten a tongue piercing recently, and you only found out cause he decided to make out with you.)
he can cook, but he's lazy, so he usually gets takeout or smth. when he does make food, it's the best shit you've ever tasted. (he cooks more often for you <3)
kinda streamer au: he's addicted to fps games. like you can't tell me he doesn't play valo. he gets annoyed when ppl call it apex, though he loves both games.
pushing my scara and xiao bestie agenda; they often play valo and absolutely OBLITERATE the other team. scara likes to piss them off and say some toxic shit, while xiao says dry stuff like "haha."
he rage quit playing getting over it (ahem xiao beat it in under 10 mins.)
a bit of idol au: scara used to be a solo artist, then recently joined 5wirl, so they renamed to 6reeze. he still releases solo songs sometimes tho.
his songs are usually edgy (i mean just look at him), with some rap and metal vibes. he made a new song where the vibe was the same, but when ppl actually listened to the lyrics it was sounding kinda love-songy (is it coincidence that it was released a lil bit after he realized his feelings for you??)
him and xiao are the ones that the fans want to see together more
they just match and their voices complement each other (also they're both hot asf)
they're also the ones who keep the band members in check; scara just insults them and xiao scolds them (they stick together when the rest are out doing weird shit)
omg one time they posted a mirror pic together when scara wasn't part of the band yet and it was trending
not just cause of the speculations n theories but also cause it was SO HOT
scara has cold hands. it could be so hot and he would still have cold hands.
when it's winter and you want to hold hands for warmth, you should not ask scara. he's gonna make it worse; they feel like actual ice cubes.
once when you dragged him to a haunted house for halloween, he brushed his hands over your neck, and had the AUDACITY to act like he didn't do it, claiming it was "a ghost." he called it payback for making him go to this "stupid place."
he has a love-hate relationship with the rain. he likes seeing it from indoors, and looves the thunder and lightning, but he absolutely hates it when he gets wet. he forgot his umbrella when it was raining really hard and he looked like an angry cat LMAO
_________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐
̗̀➛ a/n: this was supposed to be out by halloween, but i started writing other shit 😭

Tom deserves better than Rachel. Every week it’s something different with her
I’ve seen these types of messages pop up more frequently and I usually ignore them but I will address it for this anon. And I get that some of you aren’t zeglyth shippers, you’re just here for the drama lol. But unfortunately Zeglyth has me in a chokehold or I would have been dropped these crazies a while ago.
Now about R. We know she’s chronically online and is crazy. And T does not care. Like at all. We care because her online presence is annoying sometimes but he actively has shown that he doesn’t care and is right where he wants to be.
Unlike us, T actually knows R. They’ve known each other for 2 years now so whatever he sees in her, he likes it lol. Perhaps he likes her craziness or actively ignores it. Whatever it is, he wants to be in her life. We’ve had a theory for a while that he is more crazy than her, however he’s just offline and keeps the crazy to himself (as he should, R should do the same!). Which means a few things:
1. T doesn’t know how crazy she is online (doubt it since he’s an extreme lurker and wanted her to be apart of TBOSAS despite her online controversies)
2. He knows about her online craziness and doesn’t care (most likely!)
3. He ignores her online craziness because she’s not like that in real life (again very likely)
4. He’s just as crazy so he thinks her behavior is normal (perhaps!)
5. T said he finds her very mature (lol so he may not be the best judge of character in terms of immaturity)
6. Zeglyth just had matching outfits at movie premiere a day before his gf’s birthday so he obviously doesn’t care about what R does because that’s an insane thing for them to do. T can very disrespectful sometimes and has weird social media activity too. 💀 so we can’t really say he deserves better. The man wants her milk and cookies so…enjoy their toxic era 🤭
7. They’re theater kids…T has seen much more serious drama than R having an emotional meltdown every 2 months.
The drama is also very predictable which is why the blog goes into chaos every month. Just block and move on.

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about
HMM! ok obviously there are a lot of opinions i disagree with but i feel like this fandom is so split i can't think of something that i think everyone's wrong about. so i'll just throw out of bunch of common fandom opinions i disagree with: palamedes got lyctorhood "right" (no such thing as getting lyctorhood right), camilla and palamedes are an example of a healthy or more equal necrocav dynamic (see prev), blood of eden are just as bad as the nine houses (CLEARLY not.), pash is a nepo child with no skills (come on), wake's a bad mom (i just think this whole line of discourse is so pointless you can't just reduce her character to good mom or bad mom and it's so annoying that people try), the nine houses have achieved gender equality (even beyond the necro/cav as gender binary stuff i just don't believe we have evidence for this particularly as it's a hereditary system that relies on reproduction). obviously i have beloved mutuals who agree with these points tho.
16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
ok i answered this in the last ask but i'll give you another answer: i don't understand why people like modern AUs. like, i do in theory in that i understand that people want the characters (griddlehark in particularly obv) to be able to exist in a space where they don't have the weird power imbalance and constant threat of/actual death (and they don't want to deal w the imperialism of it all), but i just think modern AUs take away so much of the stuff that makes the books interesting to me. it's so difficult to recreate the fucked up toxic vibes that so many of these characters' dynamics have if you just stick them in a university (god forbid.) and that's not to say you can't do it but so few people are interested in even trying.
18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on…
gideon the first. ok but actually i think the fandom should be doing SO much more with blood of eden, just in general. there are only THIRTY fics with we suffer on ao3 TOTAL. i want fics where she and aim and wake all have some insane situationship going on, on top of wake's secret affair with pyrrha and g1deon. i want 100x the number of gideon-growing-up-with-pash-in-BOE AUs. i want to explore their horrible leftist infighting SO badly. please can we do more with boe Please.

Hello! I have liked your latest posts a lot and would like to get a TR matchup if you can, please.
About me:
I'm a cis woman, INTP, demisexual. I am the kind of person that tends to appear as kind of a wall flower at first. In social settings I try to keep to myself and don't really interact unless I'm directly addressed. With strangers I might seem chatty and outgoing, but in reality I just wouldn't know what to do if things got quiet. I have an almost pathological impulse to be helpful and useful, and go the extra mile to not be annoying or depend on others. I always try to not voice an opinion unless I have checked the facts or am certain it's a completelysubjective matter and I'm not in the wrong. I'm the kind of person who gets scolded for saying sorry too much and would say "sorry, I won't do it again". I'm generally anxious in unfamiliar situations because I can't read a room to save my life and don't really get subtext 🤷🏻‍♀️
When I'm comfortable with someone I relax and become my real self instead of that carefully built façade. I get more quiet, self assured and aware of my needs. I get comfortable with silence and I'm less afraid to seem ignorant or confused. I am a kinda stereotypical nerd of great book smarts, awful street smarts.
I have a history of mental health issues and though I am well and more in touch with my emotions than ever, I still get my periods of seasonal depression. I have been accused of being a perfectionist and inflexible, both with others and myself. I am generally pessimistic and have always had a vwry low self esteem, as well as body image issues. Though it hasn't always been the case, now I am overweight. I also suffered bullying for a very long time and it has made me kind of distrusting but also wanting a connection, therefore trusting too quickly and letting people take advantage of me. Often. For this reason (and, as stated above, because I can't really tell genuine interest from general niceness or mockery, people are really confusing and frustrating) I have never had a romantic partner.
My interests are generally geeky or nerdy. I spend most of my free time playing videogames, painting or drawing, and with various arts and crafts, mainly cosplay (I prefer the making part, sewing but especially prop building. I own lots of power tools and higly toxic adhesives and resins lol)
I also like going to a cafe to read, paint or study almost every other day. My favourite genres are sci fi and horror.
My interests are varied buy I tend to hyperfixate on whichever is my current obsession, and delve deep into anything it has to offer, making my own theories which I love to share with anyone who will listen.
The love language I prefere recieving is quality time, and I tend to do gift giving or acts or service.
I usually dress in all black, jeans, boots and a graphic tee almpst every day. I have died hair and an "extreme" haircut (like Draken, but my sides are not totally shaved, just really short). I also wear little to no makeup but several earrings in the shape of claws, chains, several rings, etc. My style has been described as "badass", "scary" or "weird", depending on who you ask.
What I like:
I tend to get overjoyed that anyone would like me so I wil give a chance to almost anyone. I'm not very picky but I gravitate towards men who have a more "clean" look (yk, the kind of people that make you think "this person has to smell good"). Since I like trying out many new things I also prefer someone who will lead me out of my comfort zone but not push me out of it, as well as do the same for me and try things I love.
I am quite independent and low maintenance so I do better with people who don't need to be in constant touch with me, or have no problem with not being in touch for a day even if there is no apparent reason.
Sorry for the loooong ask, I hope you will find the time and inspiration to find me a match!
TYSM for your time 🥰
Hi there. Your ask isn’t too long at all. I think you sound pretty awesome, so love yourself. Whatever people say about you, is just them being feeling like they have to bring others down to feel great. Don’t listen to them. I think I found a great matchup for you. I hope you like your perfect match!
You Got…
Shinichiro Sano!!!
Tumblr media
He’d like how low maintenance you are. Sometimes he gets busy with the shop or gang or siblings and having you be okay puts his mind at ease.
Would like your style, especially the little to no makeup. He seems like the guy who hates “fake girl”.
Would tell you every day how much he loves you and thinks you are perfect in every way.
Both of you have almost no experience so you two can learn and grow together!
He’s up for anything!
He’d clean up for you!
I believe that he’d ask to use some of your drawings to use as decals on his bikes.
Would listen to you talk for hours about anything you like!
Would do the talking and let you be you.
Motorcycle ride dates at night and then taking you to watch the sunset and maybe sketch it too.

Bit of a rant and long post
Grindeldore fandom is probably one of the best fandoms I've ever been in like there is little toxicity probably because of how small it is but for goodness sake a Cannot stand this forced femininity on Albus I don’t mind having characters be feminine and wear dresses am a he/they/she genderfluid I like it when people make characters when both fem & masc cloths but you guys do know that Gellert can do that too. The minority of the fandom always seems to make one Albus feminine and Gellert extremely masculine. To the point, Albus is drawn as curvy with feminine hips and Gellert as a square like those really bad how-to-draw things you know the ones. It’s the same with the bottom/sub and top/dom debate like really are we still having this stereotypical gay relationship stuff with the hole in a gay relationship “there’s a girl and a guy in every same-sex relationship” when there are BOTH GUYS that’s the point of them being gay in 2023 Cabral believe we’re still having this conversation. like Gellert can wear a dress as well and Albus can wear a tux to a dance and vice versa. I don’t mind if you only want to draw Albus in dresses or hc him as being genderfluid, non-binary, Demiboy and using he/she/they pronouns and Geller as just using he/him or something like that it’s your hc and am not hear to tell you about your hc but that didn’t mean Albus like the girl in the relationship or something but as a genderfluid lesbian, I’ve seen many people who if I dated a girl was just using she/her say that I had to be the masculine or the metaphorical man in the relationship which is bullshit absolutely bullshit you know it’s just weird stereotypical gender stuff like come on guys. We can do better than this the Grindeldore fandom is literally amazing with tons of great theories, great people, great fanfic writers and great artists we don’t need to have weird gender roles or some batshit stereotypes in this wonderful fandom like please guys.
Also, I don’t think I explain this very well if you’re confused or annoyed by something just ask I’ll try clearing it up but hope you get the point am trying to make. But am just annoyed I feel the fandom has a tendency to do the hole you gay relationship with one being a guy and a girl. This isn’t targeted at anyone but it is just something I’ve noticed as a reoccurring thing Also I believe most of fandom doesn’t really do this I don’t think but I’ve a lot of it. See my problem isn’t Albus wearing dresses it’s the fact He can’t share them with his husband who also wants to wear dresses

I'm not surprised people are blowing up your Ask box. You didn't just say not all Mlevens are stupid. You blew up on the Anons who were just trying to explain to you why Bylers might be irritated and sick of constantly getting called slurs. You don't even know who sent you those asks, so how can you say they're condescending to Mlevens and that they bully them?
Firstly, the anons were in response to this post. And yes, I am going to say they are condescending because to me, that is how they came across, and they came into my ask box. They were talking down to me and saying I was only playing nice for having the opinions that I do. They also said that the majority of Mleven shippers are homophobes who use homophobic slurs and are rooted in bigotry so you're just calling out stupidity when you doubt the intelligence of all Mleven shippers and also gay Mike is the better and more valid interpretation than bi Mike. So maybe they didn't mean to and I struggle with tone sometimes, but it felt condescending.
S5 has not come out yet. Byler is not canon yet. It's weird to say anyone who disagrees with you is stupid and/or homophobic. I have a few Mleven mutuals who I follow for other reasons and I don't think that they ship it because they're stupid or even that they're not critical of the show. The ship has a lot of cute moments, so I understand why someone likes it even if I don't. Plus, I literally say in my original post that I'm only going to publicly disagree with these takes if they make the fandom unsafe or are in my asks, so it's not like they didn't know.
You can critique Mleven and not be condescending. If you scroll through the anti mleven tag on my blog, hopefully that is how I come across when I critique it. But I go after the show, not the shippers, unless they're making this fandom unsafe, being a homophobe or in my ask box, in which case I will call out the individual who said that. Sorry, I just feel like the enemy of the Byler fandom should be the homophobes in the fandom but because Byler is so set in people's minds, it can feel like erasure not to ship it. But it's set in your mind. After S5 and if Mike is confirmed to be gay, then I'd agree.
And I get that people are annoyed by Byler hatred. It's crap, I get a lot of it as I'm quite vocal about loving the ship. But being harassed doesn't excuse making the Byler tag a very hostile place. And I'm not even talking about Mleven shippers. If you agree with all the popular theories, you might not realise this but it's scary to have a take different to any of the popular ones on this tag (birthday gate, gay Mike, Edward Creel) because even if it is on your own blog and you haven't mentioned anyone, you get a flood of asks from people telling you that you're stupid or watching the show wrong.
So yeah, my patience has reached an end. And my ask box since I made that post just kinda confirmed that for me. I love this fandom. I think most people are nice and respectful. But I'm not going to pretend the Byler tag is not incredibly hostile and intimidating and that some of you guys can be quite toxic. It makes sense, it's a huge fandom so of course there will be infighting, but we can disagree without just insulting people or talking down to them. Ok, that's my final post on the situation for a while.

Oh I’m not talking about Tuvalu pictures I’m talking about actual accounts because you seem to always talk about how much dislike them
Yeah, true, I do dislike them a lot because they couldn't be normal for two seconds and went full-tilt conspiracy theory, with even the more level-headed ones still remaining mutuals with people and making vague posts about Meghan. One of the worst examples of this was when news of Meghan's miscarriage dropped and they started writing posts about how this is a weird "PR move" that her Op-ed seemed fake. One blog even brought up Sophie's pregnancy struggles to claim Meghan wasn't special, which is disgusting. The ones who didn't make vague posts conveniently refused to tell their friends/fellow stans that what they were saying was gross. I don't think I remember one Cambridge blog at the time say that this was bad behavior. So, that's what's annoying, the ones that don't directly act this way still condone it by remaining silent and reblogging from these folks in order to affirm them.
Same as when Meghan talked about being suicidal. Instant doubt and accusations of lying, but don't you dare critique Kate's mental health work, or else you're a bad person who doesn't care about mental healt. I dislike the hypocrisy and double standards. If they were just reblogging pictures and edits I would have very little to say about them, this is why I don't talk about MrsMrWales anymore because she's mostly doing her own thing even if I think she has bad opinions. However, sometimes I do want to criticize them as a group because they represent a harmful mindset collectively. I find it extremely ironic that lots of them . . . have dropped talking about Meghan because of how toxic it is when they're to blame for a large majority of that toxic atmosphere to begin with.
But honestly? I just vaguely refer to them as "royal stans" and "monarchists", this is the first time I've directly reblogged any of them in probably a year and I don't get on their blogs, they only pop up in tags and recommend posts. Sometimes it's just fun to poke fun at them.

daniel stans: max B-A-D! needs daniel to repair his PR image and make him likable.
daniel stans: lando B-A-D! -insert conspiracy theory of your choice about how he's talentless and only outperformed daniel due to favoritism-
daniel stans: oscar B-A-D! hope he flops for sealing my amazing, talented baby waby's seat!
then there's me, hoping he just decides to retire and get into commentating or something because he can't even go to a team as a 3rd driver without his stans spreading toxicity everywhere he goes.
and frankly, I'm just going to say it: i know other max fans get frustrated at the way checo fans talk about max. trust me, i don't like it either. but as someone who supports both red bull and mclaren, trust me when i say daniel's fans would be much worse.
lots of dts converts who legitimately believe daniel was better than max and had to leave red bull because they were needlessly favoring max (basically the same shit you hear about lando and mclaren), lots of people who genuinely believe every other driver is evil and needs goofy daniel to teach them how to be good/fun people, lots of people who were literally willing to put their entire fucking moral code aside and harass the social media admin of a mental health charity because "oh my god, you allow mclaren to promote your charity when they just fired my fav multimillionaire driver? you're absolutely useless!!!" also like, checo fans will make shit conspiracy theories about max needing favoritism to win or beat his teammate or whatever, but Dan stans take conspiracy theories to a whole new level. most of the shit you've seen about how lando got into f1? completely inaccurate, started by a salty dan stan who couldn't accept him being outperformed.
like I do think, especially if the frontrunners are closer and checo doesn't improve his performance, red bull should look into replacing him, but trust me - replacing him with daniel would do NOTHING for the toxic teammate (remember, he left because he couldn't accept being 2nd driver to begin with) or the toxic fan dynamic the team is already dealing with.
You really just dropped the best anon I’ve gotten and dipped oh my god😭😭
But I agree with all of this. The amount of people who are saying how Daniel being back is going help Max for his image and show him how to be fun again is literally a joke. If people watched red bull content over Sky Sports they would see that Max is literally so fun, so nice and so chill when he’s around people he is comfortable with. The Lando and Oscar thing I agree with too, neither have done anything wrong at all. Oscar got a seat he deserved and Lando was racing which is what he is there to do yes McLaren fucked up calls for Daniel but that isn’t Lando’s fault and the amount of people wishing Oscar the worst season ever are just fucking annoying and constantly commenting under his posts are fucking weird.
I don’t mind Dan being here for PR honestly I don’t overly car but I wouldn’t want him in the car cause of his fans who have in all honestly turned me off him. They shit on Max, Christian and red bull so much, saying how now they have to support them, I’ve seen some people saying how they want Max or Checo to get sick but Dan left he did that. Like look I’m glad he’s happy and he’s content with his decision but he isn’t the driver, he is there to drag in the views but I’ve already seen people commenting under Max posts “give us Daniel” and all that shit and honestly the thought of just reading all of it is annoying. There was an article about how Max wants to do his own sim time and people were jumping to abuse him cause they interpreted it as him not wanting Daniel to do it…like tf.
The thing with DTS did really annoy me cause Daniel must have known that Max was being unfairly treated but he was getting the best coverage cause he was portrayed as the fun, happy driver and anyone who upset him deserved to be abused. At least Max stands up for the others who got fucked over as well, he doesn’t ignore it. Like he is a grown ass man who has not preformed and as you said the social media admin got abused for literally nothing and it will always be funny for me to see them and other talking about mental health when they abuse Lando and Oscar and every turn.
I think he should have never left Renault and he fucked up and now he’s back because he didn’t want the Haas seat cause he doesn’t want to be at the back but he also doesn’t want to be second to Max??? Like right now he isn’t a first driver personally I think for a top team. If Checo got dumped then I’d prefer to see an actual red bull youngest take it tbh. Daniel coming back into this team is for PR and that’s all I can see it being, I can’t see him being a number 1 in a top team and I can’t see him being number 2 with Max unless he drops the ego

Flash Thoughts 9x09--It's My Party and I'll Die if I Want To
Full spoilers ahead!
Tonight was the Return of The CW's Flash, and thus the return of Flash Thoughts! I of course wasn't in town to do Flash Thoughts for the last two episodes so I'm excited to get into this again
So, to get it out of the way
OLIVER QUEEN IS BACK
But how is it handled? Does it do the Godfather of the Arrowverse justice (no pun intended)?
I'd say...Yes. But. the episode is still a bit of a mixed bag. Let's back up a bit.
I think the way they set this story in motion was actually really interesting. Using the weird superaging Barry had to deal with and then got reversed to give Barry a superhero-enforced version of a crisis many people deal with when they hit 30---
Am i using my time on earth wisely?
And to dive into Barry's survival guilt is definitely always an interesting angle to explore. It's fundamental to his entire journey as the Flash.
I genuinely love the kind of meta angle of him being the star, and thus everyone who dies dies for him because he's the most important part of the show
Taking a look at Wally's trauma about being left behind and feeling undervalued and taken advantage of was really interesting too. What we saw tonight was a very similar pain to what we saw all the way back in season 2 when he was first introduced. And honestly, it makes a lot of sense. plus it was interesting to revisit his whole "finding myself" thing that he's been doing for absolutely ages and kinda give a solid reason why it's necessary for kinda the first time haha
it was really cool to get bloodwork back. the CGI monster he turned into was iffy (CW budgets, what can you do), and actually overall I just don't think the VFX for his powers was handled as well as in his original appearance, but I still think he was great.
And Oliver was literally the healthiest he's ever been. It only took him until he died apparently.
Regardless, I actually think this episode handled his return quite well. He's still The Specter (or is it Spectre?) so he can't just pop down to earth any time he likes, but it was established in COIE that even after his death at the hands of the Anti-Monitor and his sacrifice he still existed in some capacity. I think his story from Arrow was used very well to push Barry forward, and their relationship is always really strong and continues to be so.
Oh and of course Ollie's time with dig was beautiful too.
I'll give Eric Wallace this--execution aside, this show has never believed in any benefits of toxic masculinity. It is...genuinely awesome to see men casually and sincerely telling one another "i love you" without an ounce of shame. Oliver and dig saying that to each other in particular was very powerful, because it does show how different Oliver is from where he began.
i know some folks will be pissed about the Green lantern ring thing, and I'll be honest, while i respect what they went for I understand the frustration. It seemed like they were heading in the direction of an exciting payoff to a long held fan theory that slowly became canon, and that would let Dig really transcend Oliver's story. But...I do also get that Dig does not like the cosmic shit. He never has. It would be a little weird for him to go off into space and be a Green Lantern when he's never even stopped puking when Barry uses his super speed.
Anyways, moving on...It's kinda annoying it took three years, but team Flash finally learns about the existence of the new multiverse! Shame we'll never get to see anything done with that though.
Khione gets some confirmation of some of why she is the way she is--specifically, that she is "tuned into the natural order of things". Kinda intriguing, looking forward to seeing where that goes.
Glad we got to dig into the fact that Barry is still mourning Caitlin and Frost too.
In fact, all of this is so interesting, it really ought to have been given more time.
Yeah i think that's my biggest criticism of this episode. It's not so much the content of it, it's that it genuinely feels like this should have been the meat of about half the season and they put it all in one episode.
Especially because this episode played to the strengths that made season 8 so fantastic!
Eric Wallace's Flash has showed multiple times that it's strengths come
A) when it plays with the rest of the Arrowverse in a way that furthers the story of this show
and
B) when it goes really dark and even leans into horror a bit
and the problem is, he's spent most of his run actively leaning away from both. This episode shows just how much of a mistake that is.
Not letting Red Death be Ryan from the Armageddon timeline? Not doing a proper Batwoman/Flash team-up? Not letting Red Death lean into the horror aesthetic her costume easily could have connected her to and instead having those somewhat campy screaming breakdowns and the vibrating camouflage voice? Not letting Red Death lean into the absolutely twisted nature of the comics Red Death?
Eric Wallace's highest points as showrunner were the original Bloodwork story and season 8, especially the Armageddon and Deathstorm arcs (slightly iffy Armageddon finale notwithstanding)
All of these are decisions that lean away from those strengths, and while I'm still enjoying the final season, that's a significant error in judgement on his part.
Anyways. See you next week for more Flash Thoughts on...apparently the return of Matt Letscher's Thawne in a villainous role!

23-CarmTiger:
Kinda toxic but I can see them working. Only a little bit, not so much. The thing is, having the context of Sheena and Black Sheep's rivalry in V.I.L.E. Academy and how Tigress's relation was with Evil Carmen, and even regular Carmen, it would be better for both of them to stay far from one another. They are not exactly healthy but they are somewhat entertaining(somehow), which saved them from a lower position, because wanting or not, they stand out for being similar to catradora(I mean I wouldn't know, I haven't watch She-Ra yet but I've heard people saying this so I'll take it). I'm not sure but it seems like they were enemies to lovers what Carmen and Sheena could be if done right so there's that.
24-PlayCarm:
Listen, I believe that you should marry your bestfriend but Carmen already has Gray and Ivy. Player is her best friend but her platonic best friend. In theory, they have a 4 year age gap and Player is 18 by the end of the series so they are legal. I mean Carulia probably has a 5 year age gap and people still like it so this fact alone would make PlayCarm better than Carulia. But the thing is, it would be so weird. As far as we know they only met personally once and they are family. But not family like husband or wife but as siblings, cousins. I just can't see it. Platonically speaking, they would probably be first place but since it's romantically, they just feel wrong. They basically grew up together and while their friendship definitely matured with them as time was passing by, it still never showed nothing romantic. They are just too platonically wholesome to be romantic. Their friendship is the cutest little thing already, we don't need romance with these two here. Moving on.
25-MimeEel:
I know a good amount of people ship Mime Bomb and Neal The Eel(and I admit that they got some chemestry and would make a fun storyline) but still, I just think Neal The Eel is so gross and I hate him so much. Yes, this is solely the only reason why they are so low:Mime Bomb deserves better than him.
26-JulGray:
Now it starts the ships that are either too toxic, or wouldn't work AT ALL, or barely interacted(in the sense of almost don't know about the orther's existance). JulGray configurate mostly in the third category, because Gray saw Julia as just some A.C.M.E. agent and Julia saw Gray as "Graham Calloway, former V.I.L.E. operative Crackle that knows Carmen Sandiego". I also think it would be really hard for them to work, but they could in a way it wouldn't be toxic. Hard, but definitely not impossible. It would take a lot of effort and sacrifices I think neither of them would be willingly to take for the other tho. So as I saw them as the least worse ship, considering the others that will come after this, that for me are much worse, compared to any of them this one is "okay".
27-CrackleBomb:
I've seen Crackle and Mime Bomb are a thing but...I really don't understand why tbh. It makes zero sense. Maybe that's the appeal? The imagination to create? I don't know but just like JulGray, they are "meh" compared to what's coming.
28-Mimevineaux:
They both are technically legal adults(even if the age gap must be considerably big)...So that's it. I've got nothing else.
29-HaberZack:
I don't like Dash Haber. I just think he is so ugly and so annoying for no reason at all, he just is. I hate him a little bit less than Neal The Eel but Neal and Mime Bomb still had some sorta kinda maybe chemestry that could be enemies to lovers and an almost potential interesting plot/storyline and these two...Just don't. I found out this is a popular ship and I respect it but in my sincere opinion, I can't see it. Zack just deserves so much better(and the age gap between them must be considerable either).
30-TreyZack:
If they could put their differences aside they would be adorable but I just can't see it. They would be so toxic, oh my god. Them as enemies is so toxic in a way I can't see the lovers. Besides, he passes me straight vibes, which is the only reason why I putted HaberZack higher:Dash is probably gay and any sexuality for Zack sounds convinceable to me. So yeah, these two are a definite no.
31-Maelstroundabout:
Maelstrom and Roundabout are at the same page as TreyZack:They are toxicity all around. They are an interesting pair tho because I don't know if that's just me but I felt like Roundabout was constantly trying to get Maelstrom's approval. Even after he was already a part of the faculty. So it's basically the same thing as Countess Cleo:If Maelstrom treated his condition maybe they could work. But for toxicity points, they get the current score.
32-Sulotta:
Shadowsan and Carlotta...Do they even know each other? If they don't, they probably will but just because they are Carmen's family they don't need to be romantically linked together. I guess they are so low because we don't even know Carlotta's face, even less her personality so we don't know if she is a good match for Shadowsan.
33-BruntCleo:
Okay, no. Just no. They are almost complete opposites. But not in the "opposites atract" kind of way. Because for this trope to work you gotta REALLY love, understand and respect the other, as well as doing some sacrifices and trying to adapt at least a little for them just like them for you(which I don't think Carjulia, HaberZack, etc could do even if they tried and this one they would never). I felt like Coach Brunt was the least liked among the faculty. Maelstrom literally left her to die(okay I know he would do it to everyone but still), Shadowsan and her clearly had beef, and Countess Cleo and Doctor Bellum's reaction to her soulmate The Mechanic was of almost disgust. Cleo clearly didn't want The Mechanic as a part of the faculty. I bet she thought something like:"We already have Coach Brunt, we don't need another gross one" so due to their differences that's their place. They barely interacted, like Countess Cleo and Doctor Bellum or Maelstrom. These three seemed close and often done with Coach Brunt. So they would be toxic(and Countess Cleo deserves better) and overall there are better combinations for them so that's why they place here.
34-BruntChase:
Besides Coach Brunt finding him handsome a couple of times and he being flattered about it in the Lupe Peligro episode, there's not really much about these two that isn't toxicity. Coach Brunt actually gives more to CarChase:both Carmen and Devineaux were crushed by Coach Brunt. So they are a no.
35-Shadowsandiego:
Thinking about them romantically makes me want to vomit. I feel like crying and throwing up. He is her father figure. And the age gap is at least more than 20 years old so yeah. Can't see it.
And we are done here. If you got here, thank you for reading. Bye!

sharing my selfship info for no reason (yes it’s different from luma (oc) ship info)
scaralumxiao [reminder they both date me, not each other] [cw: mentions of hentai, eating issues]
Tumblr media
we’re all seniors in hs and are always seen with each other. like ppl look at us and are like “do they ever separate?” like no lmao
bc all of us have gone through intense trauma, we find comfort and safety in each other. others might find it annoying with repetitiveness, but we find sm comfort when we tell each other we’ll never leave and we’ll love each other forever.
bc of past relationships, we try our best to not be toxic. like instead of having our issues affect our relationship in a bad way, we share our issues and bond over wanting to work through them together.
scara helps me with schoolwork and catching up bc i get overwhelmed and fall behind a lot.
during our free periods (we have the same ones thank god), we hang out in the wellness center (a place where students can relax during free periods, lunch, or they just need a break. also there’s counselors there to talk if we need to) and mainly chat, play video games, or watch youtube videos.
we hang out after school a lot and we mainly spend the night at xiao’s place bc zhongli doesn’t bother us.
i give love letters to them and they give love letters to me bc they love seeing how flustered i get over them (im so weak for love letters omfg).
forehead kisses>>
during sleepovers, we get high and i force them to watch spongebob conspiracy theories and hentai with me. we laugh and judge hentai together and get no real arousal or pleasure out of it. it’s just something i do for some reason when im high and brought it into the highs i spend with my bfs <33
they listen to my weird and random rants when im high, like they’re genuinely so random but also real at the same time.
they both keep their houses stacked with foods i enjoy so if i come over i always have something to eat (in fact they make sure i eat at least a full snack/meal each time i come over).
zhongli always greets me when i go to xiao’s and even gives me head pats (head pats from father figures>>)
they always act so stubborn when i go over to one of their houses without the other :( but they get over it with a few kisses <33
i always wear their hoodies, sweatshirts, and sweatpants. my friends always know when i wear my bfs clothes vs mine.
they both secretly keep photo albums of me but don’t tell me because im so self-conscious and would tell them to delete them. (i have no place to speak tho bc i have photo albums of them too)
we’re cat parents. i have two cats named ronnie (after my grandfather, i miss him :( ) & rosalina, xiao has a beige cat named tofu (after almond tofu), and scara has one named kuro.
we don’t do this as much now bc ive abandoned my switch (i miss it everyday) but we play mariokart. i main rosalina (for obvious reasons) and toad (first comfort character tbh), xiao mains green shy guy (he went with mario at first and i told him to at least go with someone interesting), and scara mains tanooki mario bc i didn’t talk to him for a whole day when he used cat peach for a race (my jealousy issues are horrible).
both of them kept an endless supply of monster energy before they dated me and when they started dating me and found i loved it sm they shared it with me (they would never share it with anyone else tho).
they each bought me one kuromi plushie (i have too many plushies on my manga shelves).
out of the three of us, only xiao can drive. but we always walk to gas stations & stores. on one weekend, he took us to a cool bookstore a couple hours away from where we live.
scara’s always so jealous when xiao keeps his hand on my thigh when he’s driving.
we slander my toxic ex friends together.
their weakness is when i play with their hair and my weakness is when they call me ‘love’, ‘darling’, & ‘sweetheart’.
we have our own playlist.
i don’t have LED lights in my room (i have a xiao lamp that’s kinda LED but that’s all) but they do, so at night, we turn them on red and blast chase atlantic. next concert near me again we’re going to. (we’re all mad we didn’t go to the first one i went to together)
stoner thruple <33
Tumblr media
lumheng
kinda the same as luma (oc) & dan heng. both seniors. he helps me with schoolwork a lot. tries to motivate me to go to physics but it’s really difficult being in that class :( especially bc he’s not there.
we’ve had sm sleepovers it’s gotten to a point where i can’t sleep without him. i need him to hold me close and stroke my hair, whispering about all the things he loves about me until i fall asleep.
we share our manga collections with each other (we don’t let ANYONE touch our mangas).
he puts up with watching the deadpool movies with me.
he tucks my hair behind my ears and tells me i look better this way, and i tell him no, give him an annoyed look, and untuck the hair. (the little action flusters me tho)
tea drinker couple
he keeps pipeline punch at his house just for me.
we recommend each other songs.
he watched ‘the vampire diaries’ just for me.
he can drive and i can’t so whenever im going through shit and text him i need him, he always zooms over.
he loves it when i walk around his house in his black shirts and my shorts.
he rubs my shoulders when im stressed.
Tumblr media
err adios

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another one for the OC backlog! I uploaded two versions purely because Tumblr kept blowing up the first image and making it look all grainy and awful. :V
Growing up in a poor part of Vancouver, Gisu and Rody were best friends for as long as they could remember. They first met in preschool, after Rody's parents had another fight and she was hiding away from everyone, and Gisu cheered her up by tobogganing down the playground slide and trying (and failing) to front-roll off the end.
For years, they spent almost all of their free time together, whether that was climbing over increasingly piled-high objects, competing in mock-rap battles, making fun of Gisu's brother's boring-ass stories, or stealing the mean girls' fashion dolls and burning them with an industrial blowtorch. Their true ambition, though, was to make it big in the skateboarding world.
Rody was present for the night that Gisu discovered her psychic powers - out hours past bedtime, attempting to pull a sick gap at the docks, she choked after making the jump and would have smacked into a wall of water had she not stopped herself from colliding at the last second.
Rody was conflicted - she'd heard stories from her parents about psychics, especially her dad, who always seemed to have a different conspiracy theory every day ('psychics are being used by the CIA to spy on us!' 'Psychics run the CIA!' 'The Psychonauts run the world!' 'The Psychonauts are puppets of the Illuminati, who are also psychics!' Etc etc.). She knew of course that her dad was crazy, and Gisu was her friend, but still, psychics did have a lot of power, and surely not all of them would use it wisely, right?
Gisu's family seemed to be accepting, and over time she became more and more interested in learning about her powers. Rody tried to be supportive (and they did have fun at first, laughing at the dumb things her dad said about psychics), but she'd have been lying if she hadn't been annoyed at how much time Gisu spent at home or at the library, reading books about psychic mumbo-jumbo that she'd never understand in a million years, and she felt increasingly sidelined. It didn't help that her family situation had only gotten worse and she didn't really have any other friends besides Gisu.
Things reached a breaking point when, just weeks away from a big skating contest they had both been practising for, Gisu received a letter from the Psychonauts, accepting her to be fast-tracked into the Intern program (due to her age, she was ineligible to attend Whispering Rock, so she instead took a series of written and practical exams to demonstrate that she had the required understanding of psycho-safety). This was the first time Rody had heard about this. The two of them had a huge fight. Neither of them handled it particularly well. Rody accused Gisu of trying to ditch her because she didn't have any 'cool powers'. Gisu admitted she didn't tell Rody because she 'knew [she'd] be all weird about it' and accused her of being 'clingy' and having no life outside of their friendship.
They still entered the skating contest, and Gisu won first prize. Ordinarily Rody wouldn't have cared, but after their fight, it was the final straw. Wanting to hurt Gisu as much as she'd been hurt, she went up on stage and accused Gisu of cheating using her psychic powers, outing her as a psychic in front of over a hundred people. As psychics were forbidden from competing in the competition for this exact reason, she was disqualified. She ran home in tears.
Rody regretted it almost immediately, but it took her a whole week to work up the courage to try apologizing. But by then it was too late; Gisu had already left to join the Intern program. They haven't spoken to each other since.
Gisu still thinks about her old friend sometimes; sometimes she thinks she was to blame for what happened, other times she thinks Rody was a toxic influence all along and she made the right decision to cut her out of her life. Mostly she just tries not to think about her at all.
She'd be lying if she said Dion didn't bring back some unpleasant memories.
