[sergle]

I really truly, from the bottom of my heart, hate you bitches so much, because on the tiktok of literally COCK AND BALL jokes w brittany broski, there were a few notes/messages like this:

And I KNOW you don't think anyone's going to check. You had someone go into your askbox and say "hiii brittany broski is shitty about palestine she's really ignorant :/" and you went oh omg I didn't know!! thanks for telling me! So I checked! This is in reference to her talking in her podcast, because people were asking why she hadn't done any big press statements about Palestine, you didn't retweet this or that, you must not care, don't you care, what's your stance, etc etc please say more OKAY COOL. So what's going on there? What did Brittany say on her podcast? Is she a Bad Person? Can I have some transcript, please? ____ "Hey guys, before we get into this week's episode, I want to talk to you about the ongoing and prolonged suffering and loss of life in Gaza, in Israel, and the oppression of Palestinian people widespread. I don't ever want it to be a question that I would ever not be against the oppression of any group of people, that I would ever stand on the side of the oppressor." "There was a lot of fear of misusing my platform." ... "I will admit that I was nervous to talk about it, because I don't want to say the wrong thing. And this is too fucking serious of an issue to misspeak, or to spread misinformation, or to speak over or for someone." ... "So I want to take a moment on my biggest platform- which is this podcast, to say that I stand with the people of Palestine, I stand for the liberation of Palestinian people." ... "Every day, to log on to social media, and be just inundated with graphic, unimaginable violence, and loss, and grief, it's just--There are no words." ... "And I feel helpless. That's part of it too, when you feel helpless, the last thing you want to do is talk to people about it-- but visibility is a resource in and of itself. And I can offer that." ... "The outpouring of rage and passion online, and anger at what's happening, I would argue needs to be dedicated and focused on our elected officials. We live in a democracy- albeit an inherently flawed one- we live in a democracy where we have elected officials who were elected and put in power to represent us, and if we feel misrepresented, if we feel underrepresented in foreign affairs? These officials have public phone numbers and emails. There are scripts available online to express your disdain and your rage, and unfortunately that's one of the only ways we'll see actionable change."   "If you expected more from me, it's a terrible feeling- but I don't want to center myself, this needs to be all eyes on Palestine right now, where the real activism is happening. I would encourage you to follow journalists that are on the ground, people who are in Gaza, we need to be listening to them. I would also hope that we're at a point in this conversation where I can express my desire to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and that NOT meaning or suggesting or condoning anti-Semitism of any kind. There's a rise of anti-Semitism and islamophobia in the United States and it's just-- it's disgusting, and it's scary, so I want that to be said too. I just wanted to share that I am experiencing part of this collective sense of helplessness and hopelessness-- but it DOESN'T HAVE to be hopeless. I'm going to include a phone number in the description of this episode where, if you don't know the name of your senators or your Congressman, it's never too late to learn, and you can reach out to them." _______ Hm. What a bitch!! Yeah, just so ignorant and uncaring. Obviously she's not keeping up with anything. Should've retweeted more shit ig!

#sergle.txt #I will turn off reblogs on this so fucking fast I swear to god. I have a gun. I needed to complain about this #up in my notes and my asks bc you already didn't like somebody and you believe what ppl say on anon indiscriminately. #so what I'm hearing is she didn't talk about it enough / didn't put out statements soon enough. I see. #basically a criminal offense. she should get the electric chair ig #god I mean. if my thing was comedy and I had a big audience I don't think I'd know how/when/if to do basically a #Press Conference on Literal Genocide or if I should not make it about me and my thoughts? but do shit in the small ways I can #what do you even say... I think what she said here makes sense. but maybe I'm not reading it with enough bad faith #like oh my god. OH MY GOD #so no I'm not gonna delete the clips I posted what. the fuck are we talking about #''she was frustrated on ig stories that ppl were messaging her to put out a statement'' yeah... yeah. frustration. in response to so much #bad faith directed at you. hundreds of thousands of people all saying shit At You like it all rests on you #and being told to say these words so if you say them they will be empty. myeah what a bitch basically #I personally would not experience a human emotion in response to this.

i feel the need to share my opinion on something, so here goes nothing

i don’t think BO will get as big as they anticipate to get or as people think they would and this is not me being a hater in ANY WAY, it’s just how i see it:

1. they’re very private and the way to grow in this industry is to let the people (the fans) get to know you better; they prefer to stay low key but still wanna be on the radar and i’m sorry, but it doesn’t really work that way;

2. they don’t really listen to their fans. example: the BO merch. i’ve noticed a lot of fans saying that their merch is not that versatile, that they’re mainly focused on anime themes, not a lot of inclusivity (most of their stuff is unisex, yes, but it’s only the guys that are wearing it, so i’m sorry but - men wearing stuff - male targeted audience). i’d love some cute booty shorts or a nice BO crop top, but i get an oversized shirt and an overly large hoodie

3. they’re not really expanding their socials. i think they’re still riding their tiktok high, but i’m not sure how long that one’s gonna last. let’s look at other growing artists. tate mcrae? uses social media a lot, cause she knows how the industry works. doja cat? when “streets” blew up on tiktok my girl went overboard with her IG and tiktok accounts. BO needs more exposure and they solely rely on the conversations that other people are having about them

on that same subject, if they were more active on social media, a lot of people wouldn’t feel the need to dig into noah’s private life so much, cause they simply.wouldn’t.care. social media is so important nowadays, especially for young artists like BO

i really hope i’m wrong though 🤷🏻‍♀️

See the thing is with streaming its going to die regardless, yes companies handing out less contracts is killing it further but its already dying at a fast rate? I'm not a stream hater either btw I really enjoy them but like. For example. 2020, 2021? When school was remote and I only ever worked mornings because of covid hours? I was clocked into that Philza 8hr stream DAILY. I was scheduling my classes around those streams so I could do homework while listening/watching. Went as far as to use my monthly speaking privilge to ask Phil what date British Daylight Savings began so I could keep my schedule clear. The second everything was no longer remote, and store hours went back to normal, I maybe caught 2, 3, maybe 4 streams in that year before I decided enough was enough about QSMP and I LOVE hardcore content.

From a company standpoint I can see why YT may not be interested in handing out streamer contracts anymore. Like Dreamie and a few others they're recognizing the Covid Number Boom is over- but unlike Dreamie, because theyre a corporation, they can't just "stick it out" and "recelebrate milestones". They have a "bottom line" to protect and they're not getting that same sweet sweet ad revenue from streams because of decreased viewer counts. Esp bc people don't just go back and watch vods unless there's a REAAAALLY good reason to. So no ad viewership there either. They're going to go back to relying on videos (and unfortunately probably shorts as well, I hate the tiktok-ification of every socmed site) to keep their ad revenue up, especially with the battle of ad blockers. I see more ad and monitization deals being handed out.

With streams (bc vod watching is lowkey practically nonexistant) not being in high demand bc of time constraints (happening while busy, timezones issues) the demands for videos will be higher as videos are ALWAYS readily available. Someone uploads at midnight your timezone? I mean it'll be there when you wake up, you won't have "missed" anything like you would have a livestream. Get a video schedule set out and you're GOLDEN- the first thing I do when I get home from work is check if a handful of youtubers have uploaded to put on to watch. If not, I rewatch some of my fav vids.

Also psychologically I actually think this is for the better of all CCs as a whole. Streaming, esp for some of the hourly requirements some of these ppl either HAVE to hit to get paid or WILLINGLY put themselves through (Tubbo) you have to wear your persona the ENTIRE time. You have to make sure you don't slip up that ENTIRE time. You have to be entertaining the ENTIRE time. You have to filter yourself because it's all live. To me this just sounds like what I do on a daily basis masking my audHD and that shit is so tiring and it's why I could NEVER be a streamer. If you're recording videos you can control what goes out. You don't have to wear whatever persona you decide to put on for 8hrs for a stream, you can record 3 hours of footage and then be done for the day, and that can either be one video or multiple depending on a lot of factors. Accidentally say your mom's name? Cut the clip. Bit isn't funny? Cut the clip. They will still have to actively filter themselves yes but for a much less amount of time. In the end CCs will have a lot more mind power that they're not using up to take care of themselves. I genuinely think it's psychologically better for them all.

It's unfortunate that the streaming industry is going to collapse this way. But also seeing how the communities heavily affected by streaming are more drama filled than communities w/o streaming, I'm lowkey hoping it's for the best. Pulling the plug like this imo is a mercy kill.

And now I'm gonna wash my mouth out for all that corporate speak I just used. Sorry for the manifesto. And if someone wants to put this manifesto on reddit idc just crop/block any usernames IG

I appreciate the essay-andy-ing these are interesting thoughts! I don't think the streaming scene will collapse entirely but I do think that it will become more advantageous to be a youtuber because people have found that to be the most consistent for many years as a CC rather than streams which require a lot of additional things (like you mentioned)

And I feel like we are seeing quite a few people say they're going to prioritize youtube more in the future which seems to be the beginning of that transition

I am curious if twitch will ever try to keep certain big-viewer streamers on the platform with 'kick-style' ($$$$) contracts.

ive been actively seeking out transphobic content for a project im doing and it's literally so wild to see what these types of people think. like i dont even mean this in the bluffing way or in the "im a better person than them way" but LEGIT you almost start to feel bad for these people because while they claim us trans people are the delusional ones, they're literally the ones who've built their entire identities and ideologies on hating trans people. this isn't even an exaggeration, their entire accounts are dedicated to transphobia and you can see that they spend like 6-12+ hours posting like nonstop with a quick scroll. and it's like, what's left after that? are you even a person anymore? are you okay? you can choose to stop this at any point, you know that right? but if you ever express that, they'll just call you one of their little made up words like a TIF or TIM or troon or whatever the hell else their cultish "community" has come up with like that actually matters in the real world.

like fr im not gonna lie, seeing this much transphobic content on like 4chan and kiwi farms and even here has made me realize the world actually is a lot more accepting of trans people and many people are on our side -- and this is based on the fact that these stupid transphobes literally act so fucking bizarre that i think even an on-the-fence-on-semi-conservative-trans-issues person would be like "hey. what the fuck. that's not normal."

and, like, in my deep dive i've found that these losers have literally doxxed trans influencers on IG or tiktok and like....these influencers have no clue and aren't bothered bc these transphobic losers actually have no influence or backbone what so ever to actually do anything with this information. doesn't make it right, of course, but like...they're just pathetic and have no reach to the real world? like online transphobia is rampant but when you actually explore their designated spaces it's just like. goddamn i know i got issues but whatever the fuck they got going on needs a cure stronger than touching grass and prozac. like these people legit need to throw out their computers and go to intense therapy for their obsession with hating trans people.

like, overall, i thought doing research for this project would worsen my mental state and even make some dysphoria flare up -- but it's literally making me more affirmed and confident as a trans person because these fucking transphobic losers literally act like they're suffering in pain just because trans people exist.

#one board on kiwi farms literally started ripping into hozier bc he supports 'tro/ons' and then started calling him a woman and said he had #breasts and then there was a debate about whether he was a t/if or t/im (their terms) #and it's like. helllo??? helllo??????????? #my fav is when they continuously misgender a trans person who like. has fully medically transitioned and passes. #like. even they admit they couldnt tell but then make up some bullshit about how they can always tell. #literally this shit is so fucking wild #transphobia mention #also the reason i say transphobia as a general term is bc theyre actually about equal in how much they hate trans men.

hii. if u dont mind, could u please share that "change of attitude" towards journaling? i feel like i really need that.. since i myself changed my attitude towards drawing and have been much more productive and happy doing it this last year. however Writing About Myself its another beast completely.. hope u r having a nice day! 🍃

hope you're having a lovely day as well! anyways as i was typing this up, what starts as a small tidbit has gone off the rails so i suppose this is my blanket advice as a newbie in journaling:

the materials!

choosing the titular journal aka notebook:

soft vs hard cover - i didn't realize this is SUCH a deciding factor until much later. most people prefer soft covers since journals can get massive with use but it's very subjective. be tactile - if it just don't feel right in ur hands, it's not gonna be something u reach out for when u have free time.

size - the most common sizes are A5, A6 or regular aka travelers notebook. you have to think abt who you are as a writer. do u have a large handwriting that takes up pages and pages? do you like space or are you overwhelmed by a blank page? do you travel a lot and do u want something unobtrusive in your bag? choose something that will reasonable work as a part of your daily life.

paper texture - paper that is smooth to write in are a great source of pleasure. notebooks with 100gsm paper is a good benchmark.

price - pleaseeee do not break the bank to purchase a fancy notebook. an expensive notebook can become an unloved one. you'd be too stressed to ensure every entry is perfect and pretty enough and the notebook eventually becomes too intimidating for you to fill in. check out your local hypermarket or online stores for quality notebooks. moleskins are overrated--in my country, they are v v expensive so don't feel pressure to buy a certain stationary just bc you see them often on ig/tiktok like my journal cost me approximately RM10 (USD2.34) and my new one w 100gsm paper cost me RM17 (USD4) like affordable options are out there!

build a connection with your notebook - listen...this sounds strange but having an attachment with your journal and making it inviting as possible is a great source of motivation. personalize it: add stickers, doodle or paint the cover. get a fabric/pvc cover to keep it clean if you'd like (you can add lil papers/stickers on ur actual notebook cover before putting on the pvc cover! very cute and easy)

and your pens:

again: less is more! use any relatively cheap pens you like - be it for the ink or smoothness. if you want to journal a lot, expect to lose a few pens during traveling or just around the house lmao

for fans of darker inks like me, i use Uni-ball Signo Broad, M&G R3 retractable gel pen and my favorite: Faber Castell RX Gel Pen 0.38mm - which cost like RM1.49 (i dont wanna convert - it's change money in america)

final note: i don't use fountain pens so i'm afraid i'm not well-versed enough to advise in that department but i deeply respect (and a little in awe) of journallers who use them 🫡

the tenet!

purpose: what do u plan to use the notebook for? daily journal? art journal? planner? all three? it's your life! live deliciously! since i have a 9-5 job, i know i can't keep up with more than one journal so i've been using mines as a diary and i dump my daily activities/thoughts/reviews of all kinds of media i'm currently obsessed with and it fills up quick!

don't be too hard on yourself: if you missed a day or two of journalling, it's fine - take it back up. write down anything memorable you'd like in the past few days. if you come across a certain blank page your brain is blanking to fill, perhaps after a previous dark entry, skip the page. skip two pages if needed. don't be scared of blank pages. if it needs to be blank, let it be.

it doesn't have to only be words! add stickers, dried flowers, receipts, ticket stubs, other ephemera you collected in the day. be artful! go crazy on page decoration!!

if there's anything you take away from this post, it's this: if you truly want a journal that is used up quickly, do not have plans to share it on social media. personally, i find once you are in the mindset of sharing your journal for an audience's consumption, you get worried whether it's "aesthetic" enough or is it too boring or too ugly or too dark or that you don't upload regularly enough. social media can be inhibiting your creativity or motivation to journal like let your animal brain ruminate in private! stay free from the shackles of responsibility!

#answered #poseida #journals #journaling tips #also in return i need to know what u did to change your attitude with drawing! i need to get back on that horse!

You're so right. Just today, I was literally growing sick from lack of feedback. Heck, the only comment I got was a negative one. It just made me not wanna write anymore. I kinda gave up, which is sad because writing is my hobby. If more people gave another person feedback, the world would be a sweeter place. We should be doing this in general for others too in any place.

You know what? This wasn't going to be nothing else but me shaking my head like Abe Simpson about how fandom used to be more supportive in my youth, but I've gotten SO MANY MESSAGES LIKE YOURS. That you're unseen, unsupported, treated at the best like some human AI program to bring content, more and more and more and more, which can then be brainlessly consumed like some big budget Marvel movie.

I'm so sorry for all of you! I wish we could make an event or a something where we would gather together and go read each others fics, see arts, see gifs, plushies, patterns, watch Youtube videos and metas and animations, see pixel art, pottery etc. and then we would just comment. Say nice things about these creations other people out there have made.

Such a think used to exist during Livejournal, but the past 10-5 years - and I'm blaming now more Tiktok and IG for this - has made fandom inactive in a way it has never been before. Well, it was a bit harder in the 60's, 70's and 80's, before internet brought us closer together globally, but seriously? I don't recall fandom ever being like this, like hungry little baby birds with their mouth open toward other people like "feed me feed me feed me". It's really sad to witness, especially when I've gotten to live the more active times in my youth and how much the support I got mattered to me, and now I think nowadays kids, teens and young adults who don't have such support.

It's super disheartening. Not for me, but for others. For fandoms. Is it the endless amount of content which has made people so carefree? That no matter what, more stuff will come, even if I didn't even blink towards small creators? If this fandom person stops, then others will continue?

The online support I see the best at these times seems to be in the small fandoms, and because there's so little content. You're so happy and grateful for all small nuggets you get.

If I was still studying, I'd probably make a thesis out of this topic. It feels so multilayered and sadly, increasing.

Or then I'm just an old fart.

[my-shields-are-down]

You’re allowed to feel however you feel, and watch or not watch. Everything is valid.

But what Melissa said Eric was pushing for and what Eric himself has been open about wanting since before the season started, was for Chenford’s relationship to be messy. He didn’t want it to be smooth sailing and he wanted them to face struggles like a real couple. Melissa said they were surprised the writers took it that far.

But no one has ever said that Eric specifically wanted a break up. Nor has there been any implication that it’s what his wife wanted. You’re putting words in real people’s mouths.

There’s also no implication that Chenford won’t work their way back together. All Eric said is that he and Melissa still have fun scenes together and that there isn’t a ‘guarantee of anything, but it leaves it in a place where there’s stuff to talk about’ in the finale. That in no way sounds like the door is shut on Chenford. Obviously I don’t think they’re going to get back together by the end of the season, because there’s only 4 more episodes and they have a lot of work to do. But assuming the show is renewed for season 7, I can pretty much guarantee Chenford isn’t done.

Side note— If Eric or Roselyn truly did have a problem with Chenford and brought it forward to the show, The Rookie instagram page wouldn’t still have ‘#Chenford stan account’ in its bio.

++++++++++

Hello Anon - thank you for the message.

This is the first tv show that I’ve ever actively participated in the online fandom side of things. I never knew all of this existed until I stumbled upon a critique of an Arrow episode on Twitter that led me here to tumblr.

I grew up before streaming existed. I’m older than Google and MTV and cell phones 🤭. I took a typewriter to college. 80s new wave music speaks to my soul - Top Gun came out my senior year in high school, not long after the Challenger Space Shuttle exploded. I also have an MBA in Marketing so I get how tv shows and cast members market the shows to get people in the seats.

Why do I mention this? Because my perspective is different than yours.

Oh my god, between here and Twitter, IG, tiktok, etc. I’m exhausted. I rage posted for almost 48 hours straight because of a fictional couple on a tv show. I have never been so intensely angry in my life - ever.

The show and Chenford have taken over my life and not in a good way.

At this point, I am unfollowing the fandom in Twitter, I’ve unfollowed the cast on TikTok and IG. I unsubscribed from podcasts that don’t get me to a better me.

I don’t want to see any bts, read any more interviews, see any more cameos. It’s all noise to me and I need to focus on me and get back to being excited about the show. Going in blind with no expectations, excited to see new stories (well, not Nolan being a dad again 🤢).

Back to your post - I read the same interviews you did. The cast comments about Chenford were all past tense. I didn’t see any sorrow or regret about the demise of the couple by either Mel or Eric. They both prefer angsty scenes. I didn’t see ANY hope expressed by either that their individual stories would lead them back to each other. Alexi has been silent - and I have never trusted him to do right by Chenford.

Eric has repeatedly said this was never planned for - meaning in the whole overall arc of the show this fan based couple threw a major wrench into the original story arcs for both characters. With Tim reverting back to tough guy Tim from the early seasons, I take that to be like a do over to redo the show the way Alexi intended WITHOUT Tim and Lucy as a couple.

So no, I don’t think they will get back together. Definitely not by the end of the season. I don’t believe Alexi - who was very vocal during the early seasons about never putting these two characters together - has any intention to bring them back to each other. Hopefully, he won’t treat Chenford like Dallas treated the whole Bobby Ewing death thing (making a whole season a dream).

Maybe I’m wrong, I’ll find that out by watching the show.

- Andrea

[skepticalarrie]

ALLIE!!!!

I used to follow you here when I was reallyyyy active in the fandom, always on top of everything. But being on twitter made me realise how much of my time and life I was wasting away on social media. Then suddenly life got busy last year and I took an impromptu break from all my socials and completely fell out of the circle. 2 days ago I decided to read y&b again on a whim and I realised just HOW MUCH I MISSED EVERYTHING!!!! It led me to watching an update video of larry on yt and I FOUND OUT HARRY HAS A NEW STUNT NOW?? LIKE CMON!!!!! I genuinely never thought I would fall so out of touch with the fandom. Ig there's still a part of me that really likes staying out of the drama and the pr and just wants to enjoy their music without delving too deep into anything, but I missed this too. So ofc I made a new tumblr account and followed you first haha!! I'm never (hopefully) going back on twitter now. I want to just be a tumblr larrie for life lol.

That being said,, this'll sound weird buttttt ummmm as a maybe big sister can you pretty please give me a few tips on how to stay updated on everything and not waste my life away on social media? 😭

You don't have to obviously, but I will absolutely kiss the ground you walk on if you did 🙈

Hi anon, welcome back! Fandom experiences are always so bittersweet, right? While you feel good and feel like you belong somewhere, it's also a very tricky and toxic environment. It's nothing like twitter or tiktok, but you also need to be careful with tumblr btw 🤧🤧 Anyways, I'm happy you were able to step away and now you're looking for a more "healthy" approach with social media.

But I don't know how I can help you, I think just following the right people around here who also match your vibe. Like people that you know that they will be posting updates without making a big drama out of it, and with a quick scroll you can take everything in. People usually don't like following "discussion blogs" like mine because of that sometimes, which is very understandable. Now I've been mostly inactive for the past 6 months, but I always talked about stunts and stuff like that on my blog, and that can be super draining and time-consuming for myself and for others reading it. So it was very good for me to step away and completely ignore stunts and any other stupidities that were happening, and I plan to stay like this for a while because for me is not worth it. I didn't exactly feel like I was "wasting my time" here or on social media in general, but I definitely felt like I was worried about stuff that simply didn't matter and I could use that time better. I hope that helps, anon, it wasn't the best answer LOL sorry!!!

#ask #I don't know the first thing about hussel and honestly that's the best thing I ever did during my time in the fandom lmaooo

[seaweedbraens]

As someone who has read the book countless times since I was an eight year old, I liked the show! Totally get what the other anon was saying but I think the different reactions have more to do with expectations than familiarity with the source material. I knew from the second they cast Hermes in the first season that there would be some changes, so I went into the show trying to judge it separate from accuracy.

I definitely disagree with some of the show characterizations (gabe being diluted, sally putting a lot of pressure on grover) but so far I’ve been pretty impressed with Percy, especially Walker’s acting.

I am a little salty about annabeth though. Leah is amazing, but she’s barely been in it so far. They cut annabeth introducing Percy to camp and changed the context behind the you drool when you sleep line. I hope they don’t keep her too serious as the season goes on.

I don’t think the pacing is terrible either. Obviously a lot of pjo fans (myself included) are in their 20s and older, but the intended audience is still middle grade. I think the show does a good job at keeping the more significant plot points without much filler.

I know rick’s motivation for this (and chalice of the gods) was probably just the money, but I don’t think the show is as soulless as people have said. I think there’s so much heart in Percy’s relationship with sally and so much sincerity in all the kids (props to the casting department).

At the end of the day, the show is going to attract new fans and reignite new fans, and more people reading pjo is always good. Of course, this will lead to shitty takes on ig and tiktok but that’s why I’m on tumblr and follow the same people I’ve followed for over ten years

Sorry this was probably much longer than you were asking for, but I just wanted to say that while there are bad part, I think overall the show is worth the watch for anyone on the fence.

thank you for the detailed answer, and i'm glad to hear you liked the show! i think between the people who liked the show (like you) and the others who didn't, i'm kind of just coming to the conclusion that i have to watch it myself haha

glad to hear about percy and sally!!! i think their relationship is brushed over a lot (i'm guilty too).

changing the context of 'you drool when you sleep' is unforgivable, though. rick must burn. that's my holy bible right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyway

i think what i need to do, like you're doing to some extent, is consider the show a completely seperate....thing from the books. they're not the books, they're an adaptation, and so things are going to change, whether i'm okay with it or not.

with a new show like this comes new fans, and i am NOT looking forward to all the newbies in the fandom making their headcanons and assumptions about the characters based on the show, but it is what it is. like you, i'm active mostly on tumblr. i actually consume very little pjo content on here and ao3 and anywhere, so i don't think this show is really going to affect my fics. i've become a rick skeptic in recent years, but if the show is genuinely good and older fans enjoy it, then great! i'll have to watch it when i get the time, and form my own opinions.

thank you for your take, anon!

[nikethestatue]

Have you ever considered expanding your online presence and maybe doing IG or TikTok? I feel like you would have such a big following. I think people would like your no nonsense approach and how you always stick to the facts. We need more Elriel voices out there.

No, not really. I honestly don't have the time or the patience to be that involved in any fandom or seek out followers. I have a career that takes a decent amount of my time, I have a family and I have my writing. If I dedicate my time to my online activities, I won't have time to write, and honestly, I prefer writing than arguing on IG.

I am not looking to become an 'influencer' or a BookToker. And I certainly won't work for free for SJM. Like I am not going to provide her with free publicity, invest time in essentially marking her books for her, not receive anything in return, all the while, she has a massive publishing house that doesn't do anything in regards to promotions, engagement with readers or any advertising. If they don't care, I don't care even more. I don't work for free, and everything I do on here is out of my own volition and interest. I feel like the moment you start worrying too much about your 'audience' it becomes a problem.

But if I ever did anything in that influencing space, it would be geared towards independent, self-publishing authors, who need word of mouth and who do all of their marketing themselves. With that, I would recommend people go read Angel Lawson, Lauren Biel and JT Geissinger. Angel and Lauren are very dark, be warned.

alright, casey, let’s see:

𖥻 their first kiss was after a very long slow burn friends to lovers type of relationship, and she was the one that kissed him her first kiss btw ;

𖥻 even while they were just friends they acted like a couple and steve always took care of her bc that’s his angel ;

𖥻 no matter how long they’ve been together, she still blushes all the time because of him and he loves teasing her about it ;

𖥻 their dynamic involved steve being in a caregiving role— she’s quite subby when it comes to him but doesn’t realize how much and why she needs his casual dominance so badly, so one day he sits her down to have a convo about it and from then on she doesn’t even try to ‘control’ herself bc she’s always think she’s a burden but not with stevie ;

𖥻 her stevie can be balls deep inside her and she’s still shy and blushes and tries to hide her face. he thinks it’s adorable ;

𖥻 steve tries to ease her into sexual activities slowly and carefully but they soon discover she’s needy and whiny and desperate for him even if it makes her embarrassed when he teases her ;

𖥻 DADDY KINK

𖥻 whenever she’s in subspace steve is the most doting, caring, loving, sweet, affectionate daddy ever :(

𖥻 she makes steve a beaded bracelet with ‘daddy <3’ on it and presents it to him with the biggest grin, shows him her matching ‘baby <3’ bracelet and he’s never loved anyone so much, and he never takes his off (!!!) ;

𖥻 her bracelet either has ‘baby <3’ on it or ‘crybaby <3’ because she is one and her stevie loves it dacryphilia perhaps ;) or ‘angel <3’ since he always calls her angel— i can’t decide which :(

𖥻 if it’s a modern! au like in my daydreams they always take those cute couple pictures that give off big size difference vibes ;

𖥻 if it’s modern! au she has a tiktok account and has a pretty big following bc she’s so cute and pretty and giggly everyone loves her, and bc her boyfriend is hot and they’re relationship goals ;

𖥻 if it’s modern! au she posts cute couple stuff on tiktok, i imagine she’s accidentally very funny, and she posts about horror movies and mythology and fairytales and alice in wonderland and cute outfit edits and it’s all very aesthetically pleasing and about topics that not everyone posts about and she makes it funny and cute so her following grows pretty quickly ;

𖥻 both her and her stevie don’t care to hide the part of their dynamic that involves caregiving and the whole ‘steve is her daddy / caregiving bf’ thing ;

𖥻 she’s obsessed w flowers maybe works at a flower shop and makes her stevie flower shortbread and bakes him cute sweets often ;

𖥻 if it’s modern! au steve’s ig is all black and white pictures (the kids and his friends and robin being an idiot and aesthetic photos) except for the pictures he posts of his girl that are in color bc she brings color to his life he’s a simp idc ;

𖥻 they’re into pda (mostly in the form of cuddling and sitting on each other’s laps and lots of little kisses and arms around each other) ;

𖥻 the kids call steve ‘mom’ and his gf ‘dad’ hehe ;

that’s all i can think of for now but i’ll let ya know if i come up with more hehehe hope you enjoy this :( lmk

THE PICTURES HE POSTS ARE BLACK AND WHITE, EXCEPT WHEN THEY’RE OF HER CAUSE SHE BRINGS COLOR TO HIS LIFE :(((((

oh my godddddddd i think you kill me with that one. i don’t even have anything to add on to this. ur brain is so muah so lovely deserves a kiss.

Do you think jungkook's recent choices will have a negative effect on bts as a group?

I do want to say the whole smoking thing doesn't bother me. At first, I did think the photos were taken without his knowledge, but after seeing the video, you can see he's aware that he's being recorded and doesn't really mind. I'm glad that he feels comfortable enough to show a more adult side of him with seven, the drinking, and the smoking. But at the same time, I see how bts has created this image for themselves over the years, and in a matter of months, jk had dramatically changed it. They all seemed to follow the rules and only did schedule lives at the company, but then JK started doing unapproved lives at home. All the members have really protected their social media presence, and then there's jk with tikok and following a thirst trap account 😅. Now we have the smoking out in public when the other 3 members who do smoke have done it out of sight. So I'm just curious how the other members feel about all of this. I do remember on one live JK did say the members told him not to drink on live anyone, but he didn't listen lol. I'm also on the edge of my seat because who knows what else we'll find out. If JK is going to continue to focus on the American market and with the popularity he has gained with seven, tmz is definitely going to have him on their radar.

Okay.

I didn't even know there was a video, but after seeing it, it's not clear at all he knew he was being filmed. Even if he was, I don't think he would've been okay with it. Even if he was aware, he likely didn't want to be filmed, smoking or not. But I'm sure Jungkook knew he could be caught smoking outside the hotel, or wherever he was, and that was a choice he made, because I don't think he wants to hide doing normal stuff like smoking.

I don't see how Jungkook smoking or drinking will negatively impact the group. Suga smoked in Haegeum, Jimin shared his hard times during the pandemic in which he got drunk every night, all members have drank on camera - some of them have even gotten wasted. Why is it only a problem when Jungkook does it? Vmin have also done lives at their homes. Are you saying Jungkook is a bad influence and that they wouldn't have done it without him starting the "trend"? And why should Jungkook ask for permission to do a live for his fans? Why does he need to be supervised like a child? Who cares if that's the company policy? Fuck the company. They can debut minors with sexy concepts, but idols can't go live whenever they please?

You think Jungkook alone changed BTS's image? Like Crazy came out before Seven and it was much sexier and Western-like than anything BTS had done up until that point.

The members haven't "protected" their social media presence. Most of them don't even like social media, so they aren't very active. V posts sexy pictures all the time, RM wants to post art so he posts art. Jungkook literally deleted his IG, is rarely on Twitter, and pretty much just shares a few selcas and recipes on Weverse, apart from doing lives. He only accidentally shared his TikTok account, and what in the fucking world is wrong with having TikTok? And what thirst trap account is he following? I even looked it up and apparently he started following a bunch of dancers, one of whom has videos of herself twerking. Like, isn't twerking one of those basics moves all female dancers do? From what I saw, she seemed like a normal influencer type.

BTS are proud of Jungkook. Hobi and RM shared the explicit, not the clean, version of Seven and Suga knew the song would be a hit. No one is bothered.

I don't even know who the 3 members who smoke are, but V was seen with a vape way back in 2019 and was caught smoking at the 2021 Grammys, and Suga smoked in Haegeum. Jungkook isn't the first one.

Remember RM posting drunk videos of him singing, or Jikook drunk FaceTiming? BTS have an agreement, which is to not post things on social media when drunk, and it's a good policy, but one they've broken before. Jungkook wasn't the first one to go online drunk. And Jungkook was only tipsy in a few of his lives, not drunk to the point he couldn't watch what he said or did.

We know how the members feel. They're okay with Jungkook - proud of him. I doubt there's any drama. And you "being on the edge of your seat" to see what other "scandal" Jungkook will get caught up in is really fucking weird. Leave him alone. I may be a bit judgmental, but this is just wishing for his downfall. I assure you it won't happen.

Also, Jungkook isn't the only one trying to break away from their conservative group image. Jimin did it with Like Crazy, RM is also subtly pushing the envelope, Suga did it for Haegeum, and V pretty much allowed himself to get caught dating in Paris. Why is JK the only one "stirring up trouble"?

No, JK's actions won't destroy either him or the group. BTS are still the biggest group in the world, and Jungkook is the biggest idol.

(rant, and be aware that there are some words and topics talked about which may make you uncomfortable)

I hate hazbin hotel fandom so much bro (in general).

(Note i am a valentino fan but i genuienally don't care if you people don't love him but here are some things i want to get out of my chest or else i am gonna lose my anger next time. And i am not someone who is active in tumblr but i mostly see this things going on at apps like pinterest and tiktok, and maybe youtube so i don't really know how tumblr fanbase acts at all)

I hate the way hazbin fandom treats valentino so much that it's not even funny anymore. I am myself a valentino fan but i am gonna honest with you all in normally i don't really afraid of saying my opinions at all but i am actually scared of saying i love valentino thanks to this stupid fandom, i am not joking i am really scared because like... hazbin fandom does nothing but harasses valentino fans many times and immediately thinks valentino fans supports valentino's actions which are about abusing his workers and s/a and i genuienally really hated this fandom with my entire hearth because if i tell i am scared to get harassed because in the past i was bullied over harassment and i cried about it like weeks and i actually considered to HURT MYSELF because of the bullying i faced with, so i don't want to face with this anymore cus i was really in pain, it really hurted me and i don't want it to happen to me again... especially for over a fictional character, it's really pathetic and i am really tired of people saying valentino fans loves val's abuse things and defends him stereotype, i can tell you that not every single val fans do this like... weren't you guys the same ones who were saying we can like characters without supporting their actions thing for like two years? What happened to it now, why do you guys automatically think every val fan loves s/a and supports it? I have moots/friends who are s/a victims and yet they love val and they also hate when people treat val fans like this.

And continuation of it i've seen many many people who makes val space goat but brush off others' disgusting actions and i never saw many people actually talked about them while they're also messed up like val, hazbin hotel characters are littlerally everytime are sinners who ended up in hell for their bad actions and funny thing they still continue to their disgusting actions and/or does much worse things too like manipulation, pyshological abuse, cannibalism, lying, gambling, alcohol usage, unvalidating their workers or abusing their workers (in a pyshological way), harassment/death threatening, sexual harassment, drug usage, premarital sex, cheating, bad parenting (?), trespassing on private property without permission, mafia stuff, cult-ic (ig) things and many more things going on in show yet i never saw people talking about other characters' (except val) this points (littlerally everytime) and brush them off or ignores them because they find the characters nice, silly or hot :/. I personally don't understand why people in this fandom acts like this meanwhile littlerally no other character are saint or good people either, now don't come at me and say "They're in main cast so people tend to like them more" excuse, okay people can like them i don't really care but i don't understand people genuienally ignoring their bad actions and act like they're amazing people (honestly many of them would do smt bad to us once they saw us tbh 💀). Like suprisingly i saw two people in tiktok talked about alastor's pyshological abuse towards husk and told they hated him (which is valid in my opinion cus people can hate/dislike characters because of their actions too), it is true that husk faces with abuse by alastor with being treated like a stupid pet (alastor said husk is nothing but his pet), not being respected to his boundries, facing with death threats, being silenced over many things since alastor doesn't like husk to talk about some specific things at all, and i am kinda sure that alastor never actually cared about charlie but want to be seen like that so he can take her soul (it is a theory but it is a theory which has an aspect to be senseful than many other theories tbh) etc. stuff but then i see some people really defends alastor's actions and someone really said "husk deserved what he got cus he annoyed alastor" (well if it is like that then angel also deserved what he got since he also annoyed valentino but it's not how it works according to you all, btwif we ignore the jokes both of them doesn't deserve it) and stuff cus they are either find him cool or his simps (as i see) :/ and it made me really sad to see it happening because i am also someone who suffers from pyshological abuse yet i rarely saw people talked about it in this fandom yet they keep talk about angel's abuse (those people ignores this abuses but only talks about angel cus "he went through a lot :((" thing, and no you can't just go and compare traumas to each other because you think one is "worse" meanwhile it is not since traumas are traumas and gives people different type of pains and comparing them always makes one seem "better" or "normal" or shadowed than other, stop comparing traumas people please, but please don't stop talking about this topic too just because i made this rant, my point i try to make is we shouldn't only focus on one and ignore/shadow others) i even know people defend adam who has sexist/mysogynistic actions because he is either their fav or he is hot :| (make it make sense you all).

(also i am not saying there are people who doesn't defend val's actions, actually it is pretty normal to see any character's fans defending the character's bad actions tbh but i am not trying to say we should ignore val's actions but can we also put light to others too please?)

And i also don't love val haters who keeps makes jokes about val which are nothing but the ones which changes his character; Like i am sorry but him being all over pedo or his entire character being abusive jokes are not funny at all guys, you guys probably do this jokes just because you people hate him and it is getting annoying. Please at least don't change his character dude. Valentino's entire character neither only being abusive nor being a pedo, he is not even mentioned as pedo as i clearly remember, he targets some specific people like his workers (who are adults) and only abuses them, for example angel, angel is his worker and someone who sold his soul to valentino. But valentino doesn't care about angel (which is honestly normal to the lore due to him being an overlord in hell since none of the overlords in hell cares about their victims, like alastor) so he treats him like a trash BUT his character actually showed well in my opinion and that's what made me love him, he acts like an horrible person in hell in hazbin who never tried to be seen goofy in show but just bad [but his entire character is not only being bad either, he also cares for his work, has a sassy (but likeable evil way) personality imo, his type of attitudes towards others like velvette and vox and being one of the strongest overlords in the vees (according to alastor) etc. made me love him too] so that's why i love him but i always find the way fandom treats his fans or character as stupid or pathetic ngl, people can hate valentino for being bad if they want, i respect at their opinions but can you guys please stop acting like this please? (Also not the mention harassing people count as a crime too 💀)

And uhhm i ran out of what to say at this point so here is the end of my rant, bye!

[bcacstuff]

I know you don’t like bashing other blogs but seriously how can all these people believe the crap spewed by P**v? His/her/their use of the word proof is so loosey goosey I can’t handle it. Not one bit of information put forth by P is proof. Not blurry Vegas pics, not furry dogs asses, not tiktoks that look similar in style, not coincidental flights to the UK. No pretend sources that say they’ve been spotted in cars, on bikes, at games or wherever. None of it would hold up in a court of law. It drives me crazy! And if you say so to her/him/whatever you get ignored or told off cause obviously I’m right. I just really needed to vent. Thank you.

Yes, I don't do that often as you know. I mean, most of the time I just think, well, what others like to fabricate is on theirs, and I still do think so. It's no better than shippers who like to see him married with xxx boos. She's writing fan fic, and perverse fan fic lately too. I've seen it all, and just shake my head.

There is not a shred of evidence that he has spent a minute with her. Okay, you can go all off on me like, how do you know, you don't know every minute of his life what he does. No, that's right, I don't know.

But truth of the matter is, all we saw were some stories of a tennis player who was heading for the BJK cup games in Glasgow, and she met KE on the flight, most likely from LHR to Glasgow. That is all we saw. Anyone could follow how he was active on sm about all Saturday and Sunday for the biggest part. Someone who claims to know him so good and follows him for all these years knows that is not his normal when with someone. I mean, just take last weekend when he was with Graham and Duncan in Edinburgh as it turns out now. He was hardly active on sm.

Then he left for Liverpool on Monday. Was working all week, his sm activity shows the pattern when he is working. Early up, posting around lunch time or 3/4pm. We saw the videos he was in, not for a couple of hours on set, but days from early morning till evening. No time for a romance during working. And from there he went to London, I think briefly. As I already posted I think he had some interview or something similar. I don't even think he spent the night but went to Edinburgh thereafter.

I know how P now claims she has her 'sources' and KE being in Mexico on her sisters bachelorette. Well, think her sources are just people who sneaked into her sisters IG, which is private. Her sister posted some videos. I've seen them all. (yes, they were sent to me, I'm not following anyone). And all I can say is it is not conclusive at all she's in Mexico. There is a woman that looks a bit like KE but in other videos I see it is not her. Well... that's all. So much for the truth! Isn't that what she is advertising? Maybe I needed to vent about it too a little. Totally unbelievable how she's spinning her narratives around and around each time. She did the same with AM and MC, and now it's just another one that isn't and never will be more than a summer fling.
